"Something that will make my Queen feel better," he answered and pulled her closer to make her fall in his embrace as her hands rested on his shoulder to support herself on her knees while his hands wrapped around her waist.
Seren looked into his red eyes that carried a heated gaze and she felt like she would melt under them anytime soon. Her face was only an inch apart, as she felt his minty hot breath brushing her cheeks, her hands couldn't push him away but she tried to look through his soul through his eyes.
Drayce smirked lightly, seeing those puzzled twinkling eyes, that he pulled her even closer as there was no distance left between their bodies, as they felt the heat emitting from each other. Drayce was not surprised that she felt warmer than ever and her heart was going crazy with its pace. Her breathing turned shallow as she had to gasp a few times.
Gazing into her eyes and feeling the warmth from each other, Drayce moved his one hand along her slender and curvy back. He couldn't deny that she was blessed with a nice alluring body which always made him crave for her. It was a relief for his hungry soul that she had to be covered in warm and thick clothes during the day which hid her body underneath and it didn't torture him anymore. But every night in that silk nightdress, he could see and feel her nicely. He was surprised at himself that he was still holding back. Maybe his care for her was stronger than the desires of his body.
"My Queen!" he called, his voice sounding husky and seductive to her ears.
"Mhm?" she responded in a daze.
Through her nightdress, she could feel the warmth of his palm on her back and realized him moving his hand along her slender back leaving the tingling sensation on her skin that made her gasp and she tightened the grip of her hand at his shoulder on his silk robe.
Not answering, Drayce moved his one hand to her face, keeping his other hand on her back to hold her steadily. He brushed away the loose hair strands from her face, but he intentionally brushed his fingers along her earlobe and then along her slender neck while his sight fixed at where his fingers moved, causing her to shiver.
Her eyes fixed at his face, Seren waited for him to talk but he said nothing and instead moved his gaze to her ear. Seren could feel the warmth on her skin where his fingertips touched and could feel it even after his fingers had moved away.
He looked back at her and asked, "My Queen, does it feel good?"
Her mind was so messy to understand even a simple question, "Huh?"
"Does it feel good when I touch you?" Drayce asked again.
She stared at him as the answer to his question was not clear to her as these new feelings and how different her body was reacting, were all so new to her.
'It feels so strange. I feel hot, it's too hot...My heart? Is it good to feel like this? I never felt this before. So strange it is…."
"My Queen, you didn't answer," Drayce spoke, while looking into her puzzled and full of doubt eyes.
Taking the advantage of the loosened grip of his hands on her, Seren pushed him away who didn't move even an inch but she moved back, away from him, as that's what she wished for. Staying closer to him was making her feel high on what she was already feeling and it scared her.
Drayce didn't hurry to get her and instead waited for her to say something.
Seren looked at him for a moment and thought, 'Will he do the same thing with me as what I saw and read in those books today? But...it looked so weird… No clothes, how can I be without clothes? She looked at his body, who was sitting on the bed, waiting for her. She imagined him without clothes based on the images she had seen in the books.
'I can't see him without clothes here...This is all just so weird...I don't want it…So weird...so hot...I am thirsty...'
Instead of letting herself flow in what she was feeling, she was scared of these new kinds of foreign feelings.
Drayce sensed the fear in her and called, "My Queen, is there anything wrong?" His voice was gentle and assuring.
She lowered her head and clutched the blanket back at her chest as if she was undressed already and said, "I..am...thirsty…"
Drayce noticed her trembling hands that were clutching the blanket in front of her chest. He could see she was confused and scared at the same time.
Drayce stepped out of the bed and fetched some water for her as he thought with a deep sigh, 'Maybe she needs a little more time.'
"My Queen, have water," Drayce offered while standing by the bed, closer to her.
Seren accepted the glass of water as her hands never stopped trembling. She had a few sips of water while lifting her veil a little up.
Once she was done, Drayce got the glass of water back from her. When he returned to the bed, she was still the same.
"My Queen, I won't do anything that you are scared of," Drayce assured and she finally looked at him only to hear him say, "Calm down and go to sleep."
Even if she was scared and wary of him at this moment, she always trusted his words and nodded. Drayce held the corner of the blanket, "Let me help you cover."
Seren obediently lay in bed as her eyes were fixed at his handsome face which looked gentle to her unlike how intimidating it looked to her a while ago when she was closer to him.
Drayce got into the bed and lay on his back while facing the ceiling and said, "Good Night, My Queen."
Seren, who was sleeping in the same position but maintaining a distance between both of them, turned her head slowly to look at him, "Good Night, Your Majesty."
Drayce closed his eyes while she stared at his face.
Drayce was aware of it but he didn't open his eyes but his mind was busy thinking about her and her actions. He tried to reason out her behavior.
'If it was any other woman, she would have felt a need to get closer to a man. She sure was so affected and needed me but she chose otherwise. I thought after reading those books, she will understand and will allow it but instead she is scared. Can't blame her. She is so young and everything is new to her. She must be confused about what is going on with her. I should give her more time. Maybe taking her to the opera will help.'
Drayce didn't open his eyes and chose to sleep, as he didn't wish to get closer to her as that would only worsen the situation.
At midnight, when Drayce was in a deep sleep, Seren happened to wake up. She was so used to sleeping closer to him that sleeping away from him felt like she was missing something.
Seeing him in a deep sleep, she shifted closer to him and tried to be as slow as possible in her actions. As he was sleeping facing the ceiling, she only slept closer to him, curled in a ball, while not disturbing his sleep.
The next moment, Drayce turned to face her and held her in his embrace. Startled she was about to move away but saw his eyes were closed which implied he was still sleeping and moved in his sleep so she stayed like that to sleep comfortably in his warm embrace and closed her eyes.
A light smile was painted on his lips as he held her closer and let her sleep. It was a relief for him that she still found comfort with him and was not totally reluctant.

The next day went the same for Seren. Drayce was gone by the time she was awake. She had a few more books to read and she did so reluctantly, which made her exactly feel like the previous day.
She was still dazed with reading all those erotic things, when in the evening, Lady Xena informed her, "Your Majesty, You have to get ready."
Seren looked at her questioningly as it was the evening when the sun had already hidden behind the hills and the sky was covered in the darkness. Then what was the need for her to get ready?
"His Majesty is taking Your Majesty to the opera house," Lady Xena informed, her expressions and words were formal like always.
"Opera House?" Seren repeated. "At night?"
There was no change in Lady Xena's formal expressions as she had been strictly taught to do so while Marie and Eva had the blush covered on their cheeks.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Lady Xena assured, "We have been instructed to make you ready for it"
Seren didn't give much thought to it and agreed. Along with Lady Xena, Marie and Eva followed Seren to her wardrobe room.
Lady Xena pulled out the prettiest-looking delicate dress for Seren. Seren paid no attention to it as she was busy in her own world, cursing over reading the books, 'Why do I have to read them? They all are so weird?'
Eva and Marie gave an approving nod to Lady Xena about the dress she had chosen for Seren. They prepared her nicely in that dress and even had her hair set in the prettiest way possible. Her appearance was so good that it was impossible for anyone to not wish to see her face.
These Servants who were with her were so curious to see her that Marie could imagine how much their King must want to see his wife too. She felt bad for their King and wished everything to be resolved soon.
Seren was finally ready and stepped out of her bed-chamber wearing warm clothes over her delicate and pretty dress.
She heard Marie, "Your Majesty, once you reach inside the Opera house, you won't be needing these warm clothes. You can take it off if you wish to. It will feel more comfortable."
"Hmm!" Seren nodded calmly as she in fact hated these heavy warm clothes. It was a relief that she could remove them and enjoy the opera show.
