Lady In Red

20

"Huh.. "

It wasn't a question. I knew I was burning up. It was the wine of course. His voice shocked me. Throughout the night he spoke with such authority and an intimidating tone. It was rough, to point and fearful. Yet this time as he talked to me it was calm, stern but soft.

I had my hand on the baluster. It slips making my shoulder drop and he wrapped his arm around my waist and I nearly felt my knees give in.

"Ruby " He dragged my name in a whisper as his mouth came closer.

Oh, Lord. I would melt right here. My body would turn into liquid and be vaporized that minute.

I didn't want to close my eyes. I liked his neck. It was dangerously close to my mouth and for some reason, I wanted a bite.

But he was the King. I pouted with discontent as he leaned back, I noticed his eyes go wide at me.

"You a drunk? "

I dread his stringent remarks, Biting my lip and looking afar to show my dejection however his hand was much faster to bring it right back where it was.

"Yes. Your majesty. I-I had wine. Forgive me for making a fool out of myself"

I was trying to be formal. But it somehow came out as a childish tone.

I sensed my breathing getting heavy and hot.I squint my eyes at that feeling.

He wrapped his arms around me preventing my head from hitting to hard on his chest. I was far to gone by now but I could make out the sound of the balcony doors open.

Ahh... to my my maid.

She rushed to us and draped a red warm shawl over my shoulder.

Ahh... That felt better. Much better.

The king slowly led me to the couch to our left and helped me sit down. I flop my body back unable to sit straight anymore as my eyes see the sky completely forgetting who I was, who I was with and how I should have behaved.

Ahh... I made a fool of myself.

I am drunk. Possibly would say something that would be the dead of me. I tittered seeing the King glance at me once and I covered my mouth looking away and he walked away from me.

I sigh... "That's what you get for trying to enjoy your life Ruby" I whisper.

Now.. He has seen how undesirable I was and now. I would be abandoned.

I stare at the beautiful sky and smile hugging my arms together.

To my shock he walked back to me, sitting down before resting his hand on the back of my head, while I sat there with the heartbeat of a horse running.

He was leaning down enough close that just me moving an inch would touch our lips.

He sighs... His hair strands fell over his eyes and I feel my heart flutter.

Oh, what a gorgeous face he had. All ladies in the kingdom must swoon over him. Not to mention most of them, eligible princesses.

Oh gosh... He was too beautiful for me. He suddenly clears his throat and looked away.. His eyes glanced at the doors of the balcony and then at me.

"Come. You need sleep. " He said taking off his coat and putting it on my lap.

"Could- May I look at the sky for a while longer? My maid could escort me back to my chambers"

He seemed to be taken aback at my request but said nothing. I thought he would leave. But he instead sat beside me.

We stare at the sky and I smile. This was one thing peaceful to look at other than nature.

"They are like diamonds. " I said and chuckled.

I sensed his shift and suddenly his arms wrapped behind my back and pulled me closer to him. His other took mine and squeezed it.

"Does it hurt? " He asked and I looked at him.

"What? " I asked since in my hazy state.

But I was much more aroused I just couldn't do anything in fear of being rejected. I wanted to sit on his lap for some reason.

I slapped myself in my head.

" Your chest... Does it not hurt because of the corset? "

My head falls down. My eyes stared at my bust. My Boussom is half out and my hand comes up to cover it.

I had no idea they pushed together like that when I sat down. I suddenly remember pushing the dress down since the sequined neckline hurt my skin.

"Do not - " He paused, "Cover yourself before me. It might just entice to me rip that off"

I gasped as he grabbed my hand pulling on it and pulling my body with it. I landed on his chest. Like an idiot..

"I don't like you covering yourself before me"

Oh Lord, do I feel shy?

Because I looked down and leaned back sitting properly as he let go of my hand.

"N-no... It doesn't hurt- I should asked them to leave the trim out."

" Did the maids lace it too tight then?" He asked.

Eh... Ehh... What is he doing?

I gulp pressing my back to the couch as he brings his hand to my chest and his fingers hook on my neckline and pull it.

He stares at my cleavage before His finger traces the lining, to feel it I suppose. While his nonchalant self continued to feel my skin under his finger, My attentive mind was trying its best to stop the state of arousal I was in.

"Do I need to change your maids? The dress doesn't seem comfortable.. "

"No! ... It's... Ment to be so. If it was too loose I suppose my Boussom would fall out"

Goodness, look at my informal tone. That was the hill to the void.

He stared at me as I chuckled. No words, yet his finger was still hooked on the neckline of my dress right between my breasts might I add.

"Very well then, as long you are comfortable" He whispered.

The only response I could give as he suddenly kissed my neck was to bite my own lip, to stop myself from shrieking and moaning. Right below my ear, my eyes closed shut as his lips traced his kisses down to my collar.

I had unconsciously grabbed his wrists... Squeezing it. I could ascertain the smirk on my skin as his other hand cupped my jaw and tilted my head.

I yelped with a shudder as he licked my neck and I pushed myself away unable to digest that feeling.

"I.. We... People.. " my words were a bundle of stutters which were unable to form a sentence as he ignored them, continuing his light assault.

I held my breath trying to hold back a gasp as he picked me up. I couldn't find the strength to keep my head up as the guards watched their king in shock as he carried me inside.

My head dipped and pushed into his chest as he effortlessly walked with long strides towards our chambers.

He set me down on the bed and there was a minute of silence as Maya walked in with hot towels for us. She sets it down as The King looks out the window away from us while unhooking his shirt.

I gulp as she peeks up to see what he is doing and she looks at me with a frown.

What?

What was she looking at me for?
