Chapter 692 - So, You Girls Talk About Sex?
"I am really happy to see Edgar end up with Clara. She is also a good woman. They will be happy together," Emmelyn added. She raised an eyebrow. "What about Gewen? Have you heard anything from him?"
Mars let out a long sigh. "No. In fact, I am feeling worried about him. I will go and visit his parents' home to check on him."
"Hmm..." Emmelyn sighed too. "I don't know what to think about his affection for Kira. I don't think Kira is the type to settle down, but who knows. I actually came to become her friend because when we first met she wanted to meet handsome and valiant noblemen, trying to find a change of scenery from the ones she usually saw... regarding men, I mean."
"Really? You never told me that," Mars raised a brow. "So, you told her you could find handsome and valiant men for her?"
Emmelyn let out nervous laughter. "I would say anything back then, okay. Even if she wanted to find a dragon to date, I would have told her that I know a dragon or two. I was alone and the journey was dangerous. I saw her as a good source of protection. You should see how she fought six scary thugs so easily and defeated them all."
She added, "Besides, she is a woman. I would feel more comfortable and safer to have a female traveling companion. So, I sold Edgar, Maxim, and Gewen to her. I told Kira that I know many handsome men who are valiant and I would help her get them."
Mars pursed his lips. "So, you only consider Maxim as handsome and valiant. You didn't even mention my name to Kira?"
"Jeez... that's because you are my husband. Even though I hated you back then, I couldn't possibly sell my own husband, okay?" Emmelyn hit the man's shoulder and pouted. "Well... if you want me to sell you to Kira, I can still do it. Is that what you want?"
Mars's eyes bulged and he quickly shook his head. "No, please, don't. I was just joking. You can sell Maxim and the others. Not me, please..."
Emmelyn rolled her eyes. "Make up your mind, jeez..."
"Ah, sorry, sweetheart." Mars cleared his throat. "Go on. So, what happened after you dangle the carrot, uhm, I mean, the handsome men before her?"
"C-carrot?! Bahahahahhahah!!" Emmelyn laughed out loud when she heard Mars comparing those handsome men to carrots. She had to hug her stomach and lean on Mars so she didn't fall over to the ground and roll in laughter.
Mars was in awe when he saw her reaction. He didn't think his words were THAT funny, but seeing Emmelyn was enjoying herself and seemed to be in a really good mood, he felt so happy.
A big smile curved up on his face and he watched his wife finish her roaring laughter in an amused expression. Gosh... she was so cute!
Emmelyn held her stomach and tried to regain her composure. She finally told Mars that Kira was so into Edgar from the moment she saw his picture and had been talking to Emmelyn about the man ever since.
"I know she was initially into Edgar because she saw him first, but from the way she explained what kind of men she wanted to find, I actually thought she would like Gewen," Emmelyn explained. "He fit all the description. Gewen is handsome, well-educated, and charming. He is also valiant. However, I think her first impression of him is really bad."
Kira had told her how she thought Gewen was weak and dumb because he let himself get scammed by a thief and he froze when the grey wolves attacked him in the forest.
"I already told her that Gewen is actually quite formidable and he is not that weak," Emmelyn added. "Just... a bit slow sometimes."
"Ahh.. so, that's what happened," Mars rubbed his chin. He agreed that the first impression was very important and unfortunately for Gewen, who was usually very charming and left a deep impression on all the women he met, didn't have a great first encounter with Kira and he lost his chance to impress the girl.
"However, I do think Gewen had made up for that part," Emmelyn suddenly said. Her eyes glint and she looked like she was trying hard to hold back another round of laughter. "He did impress her in bed. So, it's something to be proud of."
Mars coughed violently when he heard Emmelyn's statement. "She told you that?"
Emmelyn nodded sheepishly. "Uhm... yeah."
"Huh? So, you girls talk about sex?" Mars asked again.
He and his best friends talked about sex a lot, especially when he was still cursed and could only imagine what it was like, without having the ability nor the opportunity to try.
However, after he met Emmelyn and all his curiosity was satisfied, and his thirst quenched, he no longer talked about sex with Gewen and Edgar. He wanted to keep his wife's privacy and, as a very possessive man, he didn't want his friends to even think about Emmelyn when they talk about such stuff.
Ugh.. no way.
"Yeah.. we talk about sex," said Emmelyn. Her face flushed red. "Who else should we talk about it with? I cannot talk with Queen mother, or John the butler?"
"Gosh, no. I just thought women don't talk about such stuff," Mars said truthfully.
Emmelyn cleared her throat. "Well, we do. And it's great to share tips and experience too."
Mars started to feel his face heated.
"Y-you... told her about my performance?" He asked Emmelyn in a low voice. Emmelyn gave her husband a secretive smile and refused to answer. This made Mars feel curious. So, he touched her cheeks and asked her again. "What did you tell Kira about our sex?"
Emmelyn chuckled and replied. "I told her... our sex life is very fulfilling and amazing."
"Oh..." Mars couldn't help but grin so widely.
He really liked it.
He did think their sex was fulfilling and amazing.
He pulled her into his embrace and kissed her lips passionately.
"Hmmm... you are right," he whispered in a husky voice. His naughty hand had slipped under her dress and started caressing her inner thigh.

From Missrealitybites:
Mars is too innocent. Of course, women talk about sex. Maybe not in the same way as men, but we do talk XD.
PS: You can see in the comment the complete chibis for Mars, Emmelyn, Edgar, Clara, Gewen, Kira Maxim, and Elise. I am reposting, in case you didn't see them in the previous comment.
PPS: "The Cursed King" will end next week (I think). I just wrote the outline for the ending and I am super happy with how Maxim/Loriel finally finds his happiness. If you haven't started reading Maxim and Elise's story, this is the perfect time to start.
PPPS: I am feeling a bit down because my entry doesn't win the "ReadNovelFull Spirity Award", not even the lowest award (the bronze tier which was given to around 4-5 people).
ReadNovelFull will announce everything officially on Dec 20 during the award ceremony in Singapore, but I already know the winners (though they are told to keep it a secret, so I won't say either). The winning authors are invited to Singapore for the award.
Honestly, this result makes me feel really sad, and again doubt if I have the talent to write, or if my books are interesting enough to read. Sobs.
Anyway... the Werewolf contest will be my last-ditch effort to win something on this platform. If you would like to support me, please send all your golden tickets, power stone, and everything you want to my werewolf book, instead of "The Cursed Prince".
This is the title: "The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate"
I aim to be in the Top 10 Golden ticket ranking in December with that book.
If you like doting husbands like Mars Strongmoor, I think you will enjoy "The King's Wife" (TKW) too. It has sweet men (and I add a bad boy this time) as the male leads, and since it's a reverse harem story, the female lead will end up with two husbands. XD
Anyway.... happy thanksgiving to the readers who are in the US! Hope you enjoy a pleasant long weekend with your family. xx
