Alex felt a damp cloth touch his forehead, causing his body to twitch at the sensation. His hazel eyes quickly opened, montarily dazed as he took in his surroundings.
The chamber was beautifully decorated with wedding ornants, but instead of that, his attention was drawn to redith, who sat by his side, attending to him.
"redith!" he exclaid, quickly grabbing her arm that held the wet towel and sitting upright. "Did I blackout just now?" he asked.
redith smiled. She rembered how her husband had continued to gush about her beauty and his desire to celebrate their wedding night as they made their way to the bedchamber. He was clearly smitten with her, even in his inebriated state.
"Not for long," she replied. "Thanks to Mr. Amares’s redies, you woke up much sooner than I expected."
Alex gazed at his wife, taking in her features. redith had already changed into her nightgown and wrapped herself in a robe while he was still in his wedding attire. Feeling embarrassed, he apologised.
"I’m so sorry for leaving you. I thought of coming back to you at the grand hall, but I couldn’t leave my comrades. They had been helping attend to the guests and relatives, so I couldn’t say no to their request to spend ti together."
redith chuckled. "I understand. Don’t worry about it. I was just worried when I couldn’t find you."
"I promise I won’t do it again!" Alex raised his hand, vowing. "This would be the last ti!"
redith smiled again. "Again? Why is there ’again’ in your words? Are you planning to get married again with soone else?" she joked.
"Of course not! Why would I?" Alex exclaid. His innocence made redith laugh. "What I an is, I don’t want to repeat what I did tonight! I know I made a mistake by leaving you alone."
"I was just joking," redith reassured him. "Thankfully, you’re fine. I thought you might have vomited, but you didn’t. I guess Mr. Amares’s redies work well since you seem quite lucid now."
"I do feel much better," Alex said. "My vision is fine, and I no longer feel cloudy. The little rest I had cleared my head, and I feel energetic."
"That’s great!" redith bead.
As Alex’s eyes darted to the opening of redith’s robe, he caught sight of her exposed cleavage. A naughty thought suddenly filled his mind, and his hand trailed along her arm.
"You know, my beautiful wife," he purred, "the night is still young. And I have a few ideas on how we could continue celebrating..."
He leaned in close, their faces re inches apart. But before he could act on his impulses, redith pushed his chest, her other hand covering her nose.
"Darling, you should at least get yourself cleaned first," she said. "Your breath reeks! Those knights truly bullied you, as Callis said. No wonder she kept telling I should save you from them!"
Alex recoiled, taking a mont to sniff himself. The odour of his sweat, mixed with the spilt beverages on his attire, wafted around him.
"You’re right. I should go and wash up," he said, getting out of bed. "Wait for , my dear."
Alex hurried to the bathroom, quickly bathing and refreshing himself. As he changed into his nightclothes, a sudden sound of shattering glass ca from the bedchamber.
"redith, what’s the matter?" he called out, rushing back into the chamber.
redith was kneeling on the floor near the table piled with wedding gifts, an anxious look on her face. On the hardwood floor lay the broken shards of a beautifully adorned goblet. Alex quickly went to her, lifting her from the ground and bringing her to the bed.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" he asked worriedly.
redith shook her head, but tears began to fall from her eyes.
"The goblet... it’s Anna’s precious gift to ," she cried. "I was trying to shut the window when it suddenly fell from the table. It shattered before I could save it."
Alex embraced his wife gently, patting her back.
"Probably the wind was blowing hard, so it fell. The silk wrapping also seed loose," he said as he observed the broken goblet. "Don’t be sad. There are more gifts available."
redith lifted her tear-stained face to look at him.
"It wasn’t that, Alex! There’s sothing else!"
"What is it? What’s bothering you? You think Lady Raychard would be mad?" he asked attentively.
"No!" redith sniffled. "A broken goblet on a wedding night is a bad on, Alex! A very bad one!"
Alex chuckled, carefully wiping redith’s tears. "Co now, you can’t be this superstitious. It’s just a coincidence that it fell from the table and broke."
"No, Alex. I don’t feel this is just a coincidence. It’s a sign! I know it is!" redith insisted.
"Then tell , what does it an?" Alex asked.
redith averted her gaze. "I don’t want to say it."
"How can I know if you don’t want to share it with ?" Alex persuaded.
Slowly, redith turned her head back to him, her forehead creased with a disturbing thought.
"What does this bad on represent? If you let know, perhaps we could do sothing to avoid it in the future," urged Alex.
redith’s lips quivered. "It’s a sign of death, Alex... You might not believe , but I’ve seen it several tis before."
"It’s just an old belief. Nothing will happen," said Alex, rembering the superstition.
"But, what if it’s true? What if sothing bad really happens to her later? Oh, God. I’m scared, Alex!" said redith worriedly.
Alex took his wife’s hands. "Nothing will happen! Lady Raychard will happily live a long life beside our grand duke. You heard the news, too, right? That she will beco our Grand Duchess after His Highness’ return? The knights told about it, though it’s not official yet."
"Yes. I hope you’re right... I just wished the goblet didn’t fall and break. I swear, I didn’t even touch it! It just fell so suddenly," redith insisted.
Alex embraced her again.
"I believe you. Don’t think much about this. I know you’re concerned about her since she seed unwell at today’s reception. If you are still worried, we can return to duty at the mansion much earlier. We’ve taken a long leave for our betrothal and wedding preparation. Will that be fine?" he suggested.
redith nodded, her cries subsiding.
"That would be the best. I truly am worried about her. She didn’t eat or talk much at the banquet and was seemingly tired. The mansion lacks female attendance, so I better return quickly to assist her."
Alex smiled. "That’s more like it. We’ll go back the day after tomorrow. Since our parents and family are all here, we can skip the custom of visiting them as newlyweds and report for duty soon. They’d understand."
"All right. I feel much better that way," said redith, taking a deep breath.
Though the concern lingered, Alex’s confident deanour was able to sway her belief.
"Now, let’s forget the ominous feeling and focus on us. I’m already cleaned... don’t I deserve sothing special from my wife?"
Now calm, redith looked down sheepishly, her fingers fidgeting with the knots on her husband’s nightgown.
"Such as?" she asked, biting her lower lip shyly.
"Such as this..."
Alex gently lifted her chin and leaned down, their lips eting in a tender kiss. The warmth of his mouth ignited a deep desire within her.
A soft moan escaped redith as the kiss deepened. His tongue explored hers, filling her with a rush of passion. Their bodies ignited with fiery sensations as their hands road, craving closeness.
"Uahh!"
Alex finally broke the kiss to catch his breath, his chest heaving from the intensity of their connection. redith’s cheeks and neck flushed a deep red.
"I didn’t know my husband was this naughty!" she teased, her eyes sparkling.
The knight’s smile broadened.
"That’s just the beginning," he replied.
His large hands pushed redith’s shoulders, and her body faltered onto the soft bed. Her warm, chestnut locks spread on the pillow. Before she could utter another word, Alex had taken off his night gown, revealing his broad chest. The knight was now only in his braise. His large figure collided against her soft body as he kissed her again.
The passionate kiss trailed down to redith’s neck, and Alex began to nip at her collarbone. She felt the warmth of his tongue against her skin, then the gentle suction that sent waves of pleasure coursing through her.
"Oh, Alex!" she moaned softly.
Alex raised his head, his cheeks flushed with desire.
"r... I want to look at you," he pleaded gently.
"You are looking at ," she replied, a hint of confusion in her voice.
"No, I an the whole of you," he clarified, his hands starting to untie the knots of her nightgown. Hesitant, redith grasped his hand to stop him.
"You don’t want to?" he asked, his eyes pleading.
"I... I’ve never done this before. I only know what I’ve learned," she admitted, her cheeks warming with embarrassnt.
"Neither have I," he confessed.
"But you seem to know what you’re doing," she pointed out.
Alex smiled reassuringly. "The ’Love Coach’ gave so tips," he said with a playful glint in his eyes. "Let your body relax, and don’t be nervous. I promise I’ll be gentle."
redith blushed again upon the ntion of Eric’s nickna. Surely, as the grand duke’s fan club president, she was well aware of who the ’Love Coach’ was.
Alex’s hands began ticulously undoing her knots. Gently, he removed her nightgown, revealing her bare flesh to him. Instinctly, redith covered her br*asts and clenched her thighs.
"Don’t hide, my sweetheart. Let look at you," said Alex.
"I’m a bit chubby," redith replied, feeling insecure.
"No, you’re not. You’re beautiful, like the warm glow of the golden sun," he praised.
He gently grasped her arms, slowly easing them apart. A broad smile blossod on his lips at the srising sight.
"You’re perfect, my love. So perfect!"
He bowed and suckled one of the mound’s tips, bringing a foreign sensation to redith while his other hand kneaded the other.
"Oh, God!" redith bit her lower lip, enjoying the ecstasy. It was new to her, yet she craved more of his touch.
Her toes curled, and her thighs parted. Alex took this chance to continue his caressing. His hand trailed down to the sacred part of her body.
"Alex!" she exclaid when she felt his fingers reaching the sensitive spot.
"It’s all right, my dear. Don’t be scared."
redith’s chest heaved up and down. She had never thought of doing this with any man and didn’t know her husband could be so skilful, even though it was his first ti.
"Ahh!" she moaned as she felt his fingers caressing her folds. He began with a gentle touch, but soon the movent grew more passionate.
A rush of emotion surged within redith, building until it peaked. At last, a wave of pleasure washed over her, making her back arch, followed by an involuntary moan. Her body trembled in the aftermath, and she gasped for breath.
"Wha... what happened to ?" she asked, her chest went up and down.
Alex smiled.
"You have just experienced a heightened pleasure. From what I learned, a woman’s body would react this way upon reaching its peak," he clarified.
"Oh, my!" redith blushed, covering her face.
"Don’t be shy. This is perfectly normal. I can see you’re ready for more," he said.
"More?" she asked, peeking from behind her fingers.
"Yes. The union of our bodies. and you... we’ll beco one," said Alex gently.
He lifted his upper body and began removing his braise. redith felt warm rushes fill her face as she saw her husband n*ked form. Looking at the sight of his hardened shaft brought nervousness to her. She had seen the figure of ’that’ in the book during her s*x education, but this was her first ti seeing its true form.
"A-Alex... I don’t think I can do this," she hesitated.
Alex embraced her again, peppering kisses to her cheeks and forehead.
"Of course you can. Didn’t you say you love ?"
"I do. I’m just... it’s... it’s too big!" she said nervously.
Alex chuckled as he gently rubbed her head, a warm smile spreading across his face.
"It’s going to be just fine. It’ll fit perfectly, my sweet. Just relax," he told her.
He kissed her neck again, his hand clasped with hers while the other stretched her thighs widely.
"Alex..." she called up his na nervously.
"I’m right here. Everything will be all right," he said gently. "Will you accept , my wife?"
He looked at her with deep affection, and redith’s eyes shifted to et his. She couldn’t resist the warmth of her husband’s desire.
"Yes... I love you," she replied, her voice filled with certainty.
"I love you too, sweetheart," he said, then guided her. "Put your thighs around my hips."
redith lifted her legs and encircled his hips as Alex prepared himself in a missionary position, his knees propped his body from crushing her.
He leaned down, and their lips t, the kiss deepening as it lingered between them. redith felt his hardened length stroking her relentlessly. As she was lost in the shared pleasure feelings, Alex lifted his face.
"redith, my love... This might hurt a bit. Endure it for , please," he pleaded.
"Yes..."
Alex stared at her deeply as his shaft continued rubbing erratically. Then, he began entering her. His movent was restricted by a thin mbrane, protecting her chastity.
He forced his movent as he thrust in further, tearing the layer. Imdiately, her body jolted, like a surge of current ran through her.
"Ahh!!" redith scread.
Alex halted his thrust and embraced her. He could feel her flesh tightening around his shaft.
"It hurts!" she cried, tears streaming down her cheeks. The knight gently kissed her forehead, offering comfort in the mont.
"I’m so sorry. I never ant to hurt you," he said, his voice filled with regret. "But I can’t hold back. Let fill you more, sweetie. Focus on and let loose your body."
"More? There’s more?" she asked, surprised. She thought he had wholly entered her.
Alex chuckled.
"Yes, my dear. Now, that is just the tip part. I must put it all in. Take a deep breath and feel ."
He coaxed his wife gently, showering her with tender kisses and soothing words. As he felt redith’s body begin to relax, he slowly pressed deeper into her depth, eliciting a cry of pain. He wrapped his arms around her once more, whispering words of comfort and persuasion.
"Don’t cry, my love. Everything will be all right. You can get through this," he said softly.
redith nodded, surrendering entirely to him despite the tears. She let him fill her deeply, embracing her and kissing her tenderly. Alex paused, halting any movent once fully inside, giving his wife a mont to adjust to this new experience.
"I’m going to move now, redith," said Alex after a mont. "Follow my lead."
His hips began to piston, thrusting in and out of the shallow path. redith moaned as she felt his length stroking her inner flesh. The pain that initially was too much to bear dissipated, replaced by a new sensation of pleasure.
Instinctly, her body moved, following the rhythm.
"Alex! Oh, God!" she exclaid as her eyelids fluttered.
"Just... a little more. I’m... almost there! Ahh!"
The building passion of the night beca more intense with the incoming pleasure. As they reached their peak, redith’s body shuddered with exquisite intensity while Alex sowed his seeds inside her, following with a loud groan.
Sweat glistened on his bare chest as he savoured the warmth of his wife’s body for the first ti. Their union, forged in love and commitnt, intertwined their hearts, bodies, and souls, completing the bond of the newly wedded couple.
