Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son Chapter 281: Seductive Touches

Chapter 281: Seductive Touches

In contrast to his wife, Drayce appeared to be in deep concentration, focusing on nothing but the sensation under his fingertips, seemingly savoring every inch of her face like an unexplored treasure. Her skin, initially cold, had started to warm under his gentle touch.
'Is my Queen blushing?' he wondered. Was it the rosy kind of pink on her cheeks, or a deep red that spread till her ears? However, his wife's appearance remained covered by shadows, and he could only imagine what she would have looked like under his seduction.
How enchanting she must look, with those gem-like purple eyes staring up at him with shyness and innocence...
His hands settled to cup her delicate face with both his thumbs caressing her cheeks. He then leaned down, moving his face closer to plant a kiss on her forehead. With his eyes closed, his lips still lingering on her skin, he could not help but inhale her sweet scent.
In reflex, Seren closed her eyes as she felt his warm and moist lips pressing against her forehead. Her hands wanted to reach out to grab onto Drayce, but her chest was pounding so loud after that soft kiss, her entire body went weak and would not follow her brain. She could only continue clutching her robe as she listened to her own heartbeats.
Drayce tilted her face up a little as he rested his forehead on hers. With his eyes still closed, he touched his nose against hers and rubbed their tips gently. He slowly moved his face, his cheeks and lips brushing gently over hers, taking turns as if all he cared for in the world was to simply feel her skin to skin. His movements were slow and gentle as he took his sweet time.
Such simple touches of seduction from him were not only embarrassing to his poor innocent wife, but also highly stimulating. With each passing moment, her heart was ready to jump out of her rib cage. His touches, mixed with his hot minty breaths, were causing her to gasp and making her mind dizzy. Perhaps soon enough, her soul would even leave her body.
"My Queen…"
Finally, Drayce stopped his mouth over her lips, his own lips barely a hair's breadth away, waiting to taste them. With deliberate slowness, he captured her lips into his before sucking them ever so softly. It was something new and unfamiliar????—both were sharing such a wet languid kiss for the first time and it felt good not to stop at all. Mesmerized by the desire slowly spreading within him, Drayce continued to enjoy her soft lips, sucking and nibbling at them gently as if he was tasting the sweetest thing.
Seren did not resist either. Though she didn't know what to do, she loved what he was doing, and she was giving all the reins to him, letting him lead her. She had only read about kissing in books, and she realized that mere words were insufficient to perfectly describe the moment itself. Getting to experience it firsthand with a man she cared for was not bad at all, even as unknown bodily desires were taking over her mind.
It did not seem so scary anymore. She finally let go of the robe she was clutching as she no longer felt anxious. All she wanted was to live in this moment and be truly here to explore this unfamiliar shared experience.
One of Drayce's hands moved towards the small of her back, and he pulled her closer, not even leaving an inch of space between their bodies. His other hand settled at the lower back of her head, his fingers interlacing with her long hair, and used it to keep her head in place and deepen their kiss.
Seren wanted to moan, but she swallowed it in the heat of the moment. It was as if every bit of strength in her body was leaving and she held onto him, grabbing the side of his waist, clutching at his robe with the last bit of strength she had left.
Drayce would have smiled at her encouraging response if he was not immersed in their kiss. Like her, it was as if all unnecessary thoughts had flown out of his mind. All that mattered to him was the present, that moment, the kiss they were sharing. It was what he had desired for so long.
His innocent wife no longer feared him; she didn't resist, neither did she feel hesitant. She had accepted him. The time he had given her, the patience he had as he waited for her, the energy it took to allow her to understand things????—all of those felt insignificant to the kiss. This moment was truly worth waiting for.
Drayce let go of her lips that were moistened with his saliva and looked into her eyes without moving his face back. Their heads were so close, his hot breath and her shaky one mingled together. The long kiss had left both Drayce and Seren breathless.
"Are you fine, my Queen?" Drayce asked in a low and hoarse voice as his lips still brushed over hers, not willing to part away from them.
Seren breathed deeply. She wanted to speak, but it was as if her voice had left her. She could only nod to say she was fine, and thankfully, her husband caught the gesture.
As he controlled his heavy breaths, Drayce let out a chuckle. "Tonight, I plan to do more things with you, my Queen." His hoarse voice showed he was trying to hold back and control himself from not doing anything harsh with her. "Will you be fine?" he asked.
It made her heart skip once more, and she could feel her face growing hot. She was sure her face had turned red, which was luckily not visible in the darkness. By now, she knew the exact meaning of 'more things' he planned to do with her and embarrassment took over her. Seren didn't know what and how to answer him.
'Can't he just do it without asking me any question?'
Sensing that his lovely bride seemed unwilling to answer, Drayce held her face steady and tugged her lower lip in his teeth in a playful manner, only letting it go after pulling it a little roughly. Startled, Seren moved her face a little backward, suspecting his plans of biting her.
Due to the darkness, Seren imagined the sly grin that this dangerously handsome man was probably wearing right now. It gave her mixed feelings. Even his rough actions physically hurt, they were also seductive, making her feel pleasure together with the pain. It made her scared of the foreign feelings she had inside her.
"You did not answer me, my Queen," he said the moment he let go of her lip.
She looked into those glittering red eyes in the dark and heard him say, "Will you be fine even if I do more?"
Seren had no other option but to respond to him. She nodded again, albeit hesitantly. Although she was not sure what she was getting pulled into, one thing she was sure of, he would never harm her.
Getting her silent approval, Drayce smiled and then kissed her forehead. His hand that was holding her at the waist moved towards the belt of her red robe. He tugged at one of the ends of the belt, and the next moment, the knot on it was undone.
Seren inhaled deeply to calm her nerves as she knew he would remove her robe now. She felt glad that it was dark and they couldn't see each other clearly, or else, it would have been awkward for her and she might have instantly regretted giving her approval.
She felt his hand moving at her shoulder area, his fingers brushing along the crook of her neck to remove her robe. Seren gulped and let the robe slide down her shoulder before falling into a heap at her feet. Even though there was no cold wind, Seren shivered now that she was exposed in her white silky nightgown which clung to the shape of her curves, allowing Drayce an eyeful of her womanly figure even in the darkness.
Seren might not have strengthened senses, but she swore she could feel her husband's gaze on her.
"My Queen, won't you help me remove my robe?" His voice was gentle yet there was a tinge of command in the way he spoke. She knew he would be displeased if she were to respond with a 'no'.
Despite her embarrassment for getting her robe removed, she nodded lightly and used her slightly shaking hands to search where the belt of his robe was knotted. She was not able to do it smoothly like her husband. Drayce could see in the dark so it was an easy task for him, but this already embarrassed and anxious young woman was clumsy. As her hands groped around, it was obvious that she did not know how to proceed next.
Despite the hesitation in her movements, Drayce said nothing and waited for her to undo his belt on her own. It took her a minute to find the belt, and another to run her hands along it to find the knot, careful to not make any mistake like ripping out the fabric with all the tugging. After a few more fumbling, her trembling hands finally found the main knot on his robe and undid it the same way Drayce had done with her robe.
Seren let out a shaky breath of relief. "Your Majesty????—"
He cut her off. "We are forgetting something, aren't we?"
Hearing his displeased voice, she immediately realized her mistake. "I mean…Dray…?" Hearing him not say anything, she let out a sigh of relief. "Dray, will you turn around?"
Not asking why, Drayce obediently turned around, with his back facing her. Seren could not see his tall frame, so she could only use her hands as she touched that strong back and those wide shoulders in the dark. She moved her hands towards his neck area to pull his robe down slowly. However, the moment her fingertips touched his skin, it felt hot enough to burn, and she moved her hands back as if she was electrocuted.
Drayce sensed her panic and asked, "Is there any issue, my Queen?"
"N-No," she replied
