"your bath is ready, your highness" a feminine voice was heard "you all may leave now, I'll take care of the rest" Lucian replied still above me 'isn't this man embarrassed at all?' I felt like crying now, all the maids left the room leaving Lucian and I alone "do you want them to help you with your bath or would you like me to?" he asked shamelessly, licking his lips like he just finished eating something delicious 'like you to do what??' I screamed in my head "I'll manage on my own" I said trying to get away from him, this time around he didn't try to stop me, I got off the bed and walked very quickly into the bathroom.
~Lucian quite liked the reactions his wife gave, 'she is cute' he thought with a smirk. She isn't so bad after all, he knew nothing about the girl he was getting married to, all he did was obey his father's words but now he had no regrets, he's having fun teasing her that way. He brushed over his lips with his thumb, remembering how it felt on her neck. Her body was smooth and soft, he wanted to suck on it but he held himself back, he didn't want to give her hickeys already, that too on a visible part of her body, with the way she was acting, she would die of embarrassment "Cleodora" he uttered .....the name sounded so nice.
Cleodora came out of the bathroom dressed in a dark
blue dress,it wasn't as puffy as her wedding dress, since there was no occasion, but as part of the royal family, the dress of course looked very beautiful. Now her hair was combed to fall on her shoulders and her back, it was adorned with silver pins, that was the only jewellery she had on. Her clothes and every other thing were already set in the changing room which is just after the bathroom, 'yes the bathroom had a curtain leading to the changing room'.
Lucian again had this glint of excitement written all over him, he stood up "the maids will soon bring breakfast, I'll be back" with that, he went to have his bath. 'knock knock' a knock was heard at the door "come in" Cleodora said and two maids came in with trays of food, they kept it on the table that was at a side of the room and bowed "breakfast is served, Mi Lady" one of them said, before Cleodora could reply, Lucian walked out of the bathroom with his wet hair and a towel on his waist, water dripped from his head to hus body, he looked like he was out for seduction. Cleodora stared at this man 'I'll never be able to get enough of him' "he's so sexy" one of the maids whispered to the other as they blushed so hard. This action irritated Cleodora, yes, jealousy had just kicked in "I'll serve him, you may leave now" she said trying to mask the annoyance in her tone "y..yes Mi Lady" they bowed and walked out while giggling. Cleodora gave Lucian a sharp glare before turning to the table, she didn't bother asking him what he wanted to eat, she just started dishing out food for him. He just sat still at the table and watched her every movement with amusement, after dishing out the food, Cleodora sat down and began to eat, she said nothing to him, she knew he wasn't eating, she was aware he was staring at her but she didn't care 'why should she?'
' I'm sure he knows the effect he has on all these maids, coming out like that, half naked. He's been doing this, I'm sure, having fun I see. and those girls, so shameless!! they know he is married, yet they couldn't even try to hide their reactions !!!' "tch!" she voiced out the last expression without even knowing, this made Lucian who has been watching her tilt his head "what's wrong?" he asked and immediately the girl said " you really just couldn't get dressed before coming out could you?" she didnt even know where or how the courage came about, she was just ready to spout nonsense "oh....I didn't want to keep my wife waiting" Lucian said innocently as he watched his wife " well, did I complain?? " she shot at him with a hard glare 'what are you doing Cleodora? !! do you wanna get your head chopped off?' "what'd I do?" Lucian innocently asked again, now Cleodora was clearly pissed "forget it, enjoy your meal, YOUR...HIGHNESS" she said drawing the last word. Lucian kept a straight face upon hearing that "I told you not to call me that" he said staring coldly at Cleodora, not gonna lie, he looked very scary right now 'did I cross my limits?' she thought, she tried to hide the fear she felt now. "I'm ...i'm sorry" she said...in a very low voice, her face was now gloomy, Lucian heaved a sigh "Cleodora..." he called out softly 'wait... this is the first time he's saying my name, it sounds so nice' "mm" she answered "look at me" he ordered but Cleodora shook her head, Lucian got up and walked to Cleodora, he bent in front of her and used his hand to lift her face up, her eyes were welling up "hey....did I scare you?" he asked with concern masking his tone, Cleodora nodded like a little child as the tears she has been fighting back rolled down freely "I'm sorry if I scared you...I won't do it again okay?" he said, wiping her tears away with his thumb, he stood and hugged her, resting her head on his waist, he slowly patted her head, waiting for her to calm down " do you want me to feed you?" he asked but Cleodroa moved away and shook her head "no, it's okay" she said and picked up her spoon
'I've just embarrassed myself, I'll never be able to look him in the eyes again'
"you may go back to your seat now, I'm fine" her voice was louder now, Lucian fought back his urge to chuckle, as a good and obedient husband he walked back to his seat and sat down. "your face is swollen now" he teased "stop it... i'm already so embarrassed now...." Cleodora said with flushed cheeks "haha" Lucian chuckled lightly.
