"Yes, my love, " Raymon replied.
"You're here again?" Alyssa drowsily said.
"Uhm, I'm here" he replied before standing up.
"No, don't go," she said as she held his fingers. "Don't leave me alone again, Raymon please " she pleaded.
"I'm not leaving you, I need to get a wet cloth, you're burning up," he said.
"No, you just want to leave me again, I'm not letting you go" Alyssa pouted her lips as she laid down to sleep, putting her hands around Raymon as if she were trying to tie him down.
Raymon chuckled as he watched her sleep peacefully, he heard her voice when she visited him while he was still unconscious, he heard how she punished his two most loyal and strong guards, Reyes and Thompson, and how she was angry when some maidens made a lewd comment about his body. He tucked her into the duvet and quietly turned her over to release himself, he watched her weakly protest as he smiled. He got a bowl with some napkins and placed it on her head then wiped her hands with another napkin.
After he finished cleaning her up, her temperature had reduced a bit. "Thank goodness, you're okay" he whispered before getting into the duvet and placing her head on his chest.
As Alyssa slept on his chest, her hands ran over Raymon's body, from his toned abs to below his waist. Raymon was struggling to sleep.
"Alyssa, please stop it" Raymon whispered, she was messing with his sanity but he couldn't do what he wanted with her at least not without her consent. He looked at her innocent face while she slept and he gently kissed her lips before forcing himself to sleep.
Alyssa woke up early the next morning, she felt like she was sleeping on a fleshy rock as she opened her eyes, as she screamed, and jumped off.
"Raymon!" She said She looked at him with teary eyes as he rose from the bed. "So it wasn't a dream" she whispered as she ran into his arms.
"I'm sorry," Raymon said as he heard her crying.
"Thought I'd never get to see you talk to me again," she said.
"It won't happen again my love," Raymon said as he tightened his hands around her waist and sniffed her neck. Alyssa ran her hands underneath his shirt and then touched the band of his trousers.
"Alyssa" Raymon called her seductively as he held her face in his arms and kissed her passionately. He pulled her up slightly, his hands on her back as he removed the straps of her robe that were proving to be a hindrance. Alyssa moaned as she felt Raymon's tongue caress her jawline and neck. She remembered when he was stabbed with the hawthorn wood and she suddenly broke the kiss.
"What happened?" Raymon asked, confused.
"You're still recovering and I shouldn't stress you," she said.
"So are you saying…." He couldn't complete his statement as Alyssa had pushed him to the bed and was sitting on his waist.
"I'm saying I'd be in control here" she replied. Raymon smiled as she took off his shirt and started kissing him, her hands reached out and brushed over the back of his neck. He groaned at her touch as he held the hem of her robe and pulled it over her head exposing her breast and red-laced pant. He lifted himself with his elbow to suck on her breast when Alyssa's stomach rumbled loudly.
Raymon and Alyssa exchanged looks at themselves and as she tried to talk, her stomach rumbled again louder than the first time. Alyssa's face shone with embarrassment as she cursed under her breath.
Raymon smiled before asking, "Did you skip dinner?". Alyssa sheepishly nodded her head.
"Then this can wait," Raymon said as he turned her over to stand up."Dress up, I'd prepare breakfast," he said as he handed her night robe to her.
"Wait, what about you?" She called him back. "You'd be needing help with that," she said as she pointed to his bulging trousers.
"Damnit!" Raymon cursed under his breath, he looked at his bulging manhood, his body betrayed him. "I'd take care of this quickly and get breakfast ready," he said as he ran out of the room quickly.
"Should I prepare your bath, my lady?" Mira asked as she came into the room, her face reddened. She was at the door when Raymon and Alyssa were having their time together.
"Yes please," Alyssa replied with a low voice.
Zayn was walking towards Alyssa's room when he saw Raymon run beside him.
"Huh?" Zayn exclaimed and chuckled as he saw Raymon's bulging trousers. He ran to Raymon's room to catch up with him but Raymon had gotten into the cold shower to quench his desire. After the cold bath, Raymon ordered a servant to get food for Alyssa as he had to handle something.
"Why didn't you just finish up your mission with her, instead of …?" Zayn asked, laughing at Raymon.
"We were so close, but I have to consider her well-being as well "
"Our mates would drive us to the end of sanity," Zayn said.
"Did you feel the same way with Kylie?" Raymon asked.
"Yeah and maybe worse than you're feeling right now " he replied.
"Arrgh! Whatever Raymon sighed " Tell me, what's the update on that traitor, Prime Minister David " he added.
"Well, I think you should see this," Zayn said as he brought out a map.

"My lady" a female voice was heard outside Alyssa's door. Alyssa and Mira exchanged looks before Mira left Alyssa's hair to get to the door.
" Come on in" Alyssa heard Mira tell the other petite lady who walked into her room.
"The crown prince asked me to get you food, he said you should eat without him and that he'd return when he's done handling himself," she said.
"Where is he?" Alyssa asked.
"In his room, with his guest," she replied.
"Guest?" Alyssa asked sadly. "Fine, I'd eat it, thank you," she added.
"Enjoy your meal, my lady," the other maid said as she left the room
"What's with the sad face, my lady? " Mira asked.
"Raymon is probably with…." She trailed off, as the thought of him being with another woman killed her.
"You think he's with another woman?" Mira said, completing Alyssa's words.
Alyssa"...."
"What do you think after all? He's the crown prince. Even before your arrival, women were trooping in and out of his room, " Mira said. " I know you're hurting my lady, but that's reality, everyone wants to end up with the crown prince even being a concubine would do" she added.
"So you mean I can't have Raymon and even if I do, I'd share him with others?" Alyssa said heartbroken.
"Well, yes but not really, " Mira replied. "I can teach you ways to get the crown prince all to yourself and it would be easier to do since he has his eyes for you " she added.
"What's that Mira?" Alyssa said. "Tell me anything and I'd do it" she sounded desperate.
"Fine my lady, I'd tell you" Mira replied. "Come closer" ...….
