Chapter 13
Seraphina
My heart still raced as I watched him walk out of the room. What was that just now, what did he just do to me. I was completely lost and carried away by a simple kiss, I wouldn't call it a simple kiss, because it felt like his every touch had set my body on fire, my cheeks felt hot, and i felt a deliciously uncomfortable feeling rise between my legs, it felt wet and hot down there, what was this feeling. I had no clue.
"Your highness.." Irene's voice pulled me out of my trance. "it seems you and his majesty are getting along well," she commented, giving me a smile that made my cheeks burn. I coughed awkwardly to clear the tension.
"Just...just get done with it." I mumbled under my breath, trying hard to sort out my emotions. Who would expect a simple kiss to throw me off balance like this.
It took several minutes for Irene to redo my makeup and hair, after which, I was called out to the alter.
I always thought my mother and sister would witness my wedding day, but I never expected my wedding to turn out like this, in a foreign land, away from my family and loved ones, just me and the creatures I despise the most, and even getting married to the king of them all.
I inhaled deeply as Irene held my hand, leading me into the hall. Whispers erupted instantly as soon as I entered, this was the first time I was appearing in Public, I silently wondered what their first impression about me would be.
While walking down the alter, I summoned the courage to look up instead of just staring at the ground. I needed to appear confident, I couldn't let these people intimidate me.
I breathed out, puffing my cheeks briefly and then forcing a smile as I raised my gaze to look up at the groom standing at the end of the alter. And holy smokes, my breath Hitched as I saw him in full view. He was nothing like I had seen before, his previously long hair was now trimmed and brushed backwards, highlighting his perfect facial features , sharp jawline, perfectly pointed nose, those serien eyes with a red tint were the most attractive of his features.
And his smile, his smile this time was different, not that teasing or taunting smile he always wore, it seemed more genuine, and so freaking attractive. Focus Sera. I scolded my self and quickly looked back down, no way would I be able to focus while staring at a face that perfect. I might even end up tripping and making a fool of myself.
We soon got to where he stood, and I could see his hand outstretched, waiting for Irene to hand me over. With a gentle bow, she placed my hands on his. My heart skipped a bit, this wasn't the first time I was touching him but, it felt different this time, my hands were trembling slightly, who would have known that I, sera of all people,the cold hearted princess assasin would be this nervous on her wedding day.
His warm hands wrapped around mine, I exhaled deeply, then raised my head to look up at him. My mind instantly relaxed when I saw the reassuring smile on his face.
"Relax, you don't have to be nervous." He assured me, his voice soft and coaxing as he squeezed my hands gently.
And then, it happened again, that rush, that heart pounding rush returned. It was nothing like the anxiety I was feeling moments ago, it was completely different, this one was both heart warming and exhausting, it always happened so suddenly whenever he was around me, and I had no control over it.
I quickly tore my eyes away from his as we climbed up to the podium. During the whole wedding process, we kept stealing glances at each other, like we couldn't stop staring, anytime we got caught by the other, we would quickly look away.
It didn't take long for the process to be done with, and then I froze when I heard, you may kiss the bride. What? In front of all these people, that was....I couldn't...
Before I could even process the situation, his hands reached for me and he cupped my both cheeks in his palm as he stared at me, his gaze both intense and relaxing.
"Don't worry purple, I won't bite. You can relax." He assured me, giving me a teasing smirk. And then, he leaned closer till his breath caressed my face and his lips were only inches away from mine. My lips parted instinctively, consenting him to go on.
And then, out lips locked, this time, his kiss was slow and deliberate, not wild and rough like he had kissed me previously. My eyes closed as I got lost in the hypnotizing feeling of his lips against my, I parted widely as i kissed him back, inviting him in, his tongue slid into my mouth, wrapping around my tongue as he licked and sucked on my lower lip.
I soft moan tore out of my throat as his arms wrapped around me and pulled me closer into his embrace, deepening the kiss. The applaud of the audience was what finally snapped us out of it, and we quickly pulled away, panting softly.
"As of today, princess seraphina, princess of the witch clan has been officially crowned queen." The MC announced and everyone's cheers erupted in the crowd. It was difficult to tell if they actually supported that claim or they just played along for the sake of peace, the fact was, time would tell.
My lips still tingled from his kisses, and I was left craving for more. What the hell was wrong with me, I came here for a mission, and here I was, craving for the man I was supposed to kill. It was insane how he was starting to affect my resolve in such a short time. I needed to snap out of it.
"Shall we?" He asked, stretching out his hand, waiting for me to take it. I turned to look at him, the wedding ceremony was finally over, and I had become his officially wedded wife. So what now?
