Lady In Red

43

He walked in, frustrated, and exhausted. Angry at what he had heard from Andrew.

The nerve of his wife to never mention about what was happening infuriated him. Striding past those several guards pushing them at their edge of fear as they bowed he entered her chambers.

Her one maid clearly taken aback at his sudden presence. He could feel her tremble as she bowed running out and closing the doors behind him.

Xerxes expected her in the bath. Like she always was during this time. But his eyes glanced at the curtains drawn across the bed. The silent room, dim mantle.

He was filled with anger, wanting to grab her by her throat as question her about why she refused to come to him while enduring such disrespect from his mother.

But as his fingers pushed open those curtains. His heart swelled, his hand immediately grabbed his groin over his trousers.

There she laid, his goddess. Naked, the thick blanket sprawled across her back covering only her bum. She lay on her stomach. Her hands were under her pillow. The side of her breast visible.

Her back was all bare and smooth for him.

All he could do from there on was cover her with his marks.

He clenched his jaw taking off his clothing before slowly laying next to her.

No matter how hard he wanted to grab her by her hair, pull her head back and punish her. He ran his fingers over her waist. Pulling away that blanket off her.

Revealing her beautiful bum. It was extremely soft. A good hold in his hands.

Never had he felt such admiration to a woman's body.

He was proud she was his. That no human alive had seen her aroused or naked like that. Even her maids seeing her bare irked him.

His hand squeezed her bum but refrained from slapping that hard. They run up her back, to her hair. Her curls sprawled all over.

His lips laid soft over the lower back.

Still surprised how she had not woken up. He continued his kisses up her back and gently pulled her to sleep on her back.

"f**k" he groans as her breasts jiggle at that slight movement. Her stomach rose up and down as she breathed in deeply and breath out turning her head away from him. Showing her smooth clear neck.

His c**k twitched. For them, the neck was the weakest part of the human body. It chooses your status. Your life, if hanged by a threat.

One swing and you'll be dead.

And for his wolf, a sign of pure submission. Never had he felt that overwhelming urge to do so much to her that it might just leave her immobile for a few days.

Her collar bone, her cheeks, her soft big breasts, everything about her was erotic currently. He couldn't help lick her neck.

Bite it and suck it.

She winced in her sleep but he didn't stop. He left marks along her collarbone on onto her breasts. The one before was gone, her clear smooth skin was now filled with purple marks.

She gasps whimpering as he bites her waist. His hand pushed her thighs and touched her bud.

Shocked at how wet it was. Xerxes pulled away, staring at her. Her brows now pulled in a slight frown but her eyes still closed.

He leaned in next to her and smelled alcohol.

"Baby" he called cupping her cheeks.

Panic set in his gut as he pushed his hand under her neck and pulled her up in his arms." Ruby " he called louder, relief set in lightly as Her little voice groaned.

"Open your eyes" he asked grabbing her jaw and lightly patting her cheeks.

She lightly blinked. Still limp in his arms. Her head nuzzled in his neck suddenly.

His hard still on feeling her body on him, her could feel her breasts over him, her squirming lightly under his hold.

"Open your f*****g eyes, Ruby !"

His loud voice made her flinch as she opened them. Still dizzy and looked at him.

He could see fear settle in her eyes as she realised.

"Did you drink ?"

She nodded frowned and suddenly held her head.

"I don't feel well" winning at the bad headache and clearly scared about his anger.

"What happened."

Xerxes was losing patience. His rubbed his hand up and down her back and stood up with her in his arms.

Taking to to sit before the mantle to get some warmth.

She stared as he snatched a shawl throwing it over them shabby just covering their lower body.

"Forgive me" she whispered. Not daring to look into his eyes.

She knew well enough to not beat around the brush and cause his anger to get even worse.

"I was at a small gathering. For the ladies. I drank something different. I do not remember...Lydia helped me in bed"

She tried to speak clearly but her soft stutters would somehow stop her words. She wanted to tell him everything but she could hardly remember herself.

"I want you to get sober first baby. Then I'll make sure you get punished for your little acts" he said kissing her head and picking her up.

Ruby gasped feel her body lower into cold water, her eyes opened wide as Xerxes stood before her, his eyes glaring at his wife. She started to shiver.

Although lukewarm, the chilly weather outside had engulfed her body in cold as she wrapped her arms around herself and stopped her chattering teeth.

"I couldn't get one word in your besotted condition. Well, I guess its your trick to avoid punishment"

"N-NO" She begged as he grabbed her neck making her yelp.

"How could you not trust your King Ruby" He grits letting go and sighs picking her up.

She hugged her neck as he carried to the mantle with a cloth and warmth her.

"How dare you not mention one word of what my mother did"

His anger was engulfing his mind, but her body ing his hands pacified it.

He felt better being next to her, having her safe in his arms. As much he wanted to scold her, he couldn't.

"I need you to talk Ruby. Talk to me as any wife would to their husband"

She closed her eyes as he touched his head to hers. His hand cupped her face, pulling himself to not kiss her for he might go far too rough because of his anger. He wanted nothing but to crush her into his chest and never let go.

That, and he wanted the blood of General Vincent in his hands.

"Forgive me" her soft voice pulled him back from his malevolent thoughts. He smirked, thrilled thinking how she would be witnessing another warth of the king upon the ones who ever disrespected her.

"I shall be leaving for the country tomorrow. I want you to be a good girl and stay within your quarters. Your maids shall be dismissed till I am back. Do you understand?" He asked pulling away and holding her chin up to meet her eyes.

She nods timidly. No further words were spoken that night. She fell asleep in his protective arms. And he was content knowing what Andrew had planned for them.
