Her Marriage, Her Revenge

Chapter 21 Restraining Himself

Queen Asalea was able to return to the Glodeous Kingdom safe and sound. She went directly to their bedroom. She was surprised to see King Timodore lying on the bed, waiting for her. "Where have you been?" he asked without blinking an eye.

"I visited the Knostican Kingdom. I found it still fine. I missed that place." She said while taking a seat at the center edge of the bed.

"I see. You did not even tell me that you were going out of the palace," he retorted while placing his two hands underneath his head.

"I'm sorry. I guessed you were in your sacred room when I left because I have not seen you around." Feeling tired, she laid her back beside her husband.

They both became silent for a while. Queen Asalea moved on her left side facing King Timodore now. She moved her right hand towards her husband's face and gently caressed it. King Timodore moved his head on his right side and looked at his wife, trying to decipher what she is up to. His eyes were intense while that of Queen Asalea were puppy of puppy look. They just looked at each other; both could not mutter any word.

It was Queen Asalea who opened her mouth first. "I love you and I'm sorry again," she muttered.

King Timodore did not reply. He wanted to kiss her and make love to her but he decided to do otherwise. They still have unsettled issues to deal with.

He stood up. "Let us have dinner, just in case you have not eaten yet," he said while offering his hand to her.

She nodded and reached for his offered hand.

Queen Asalea did not remove her hold on King Timodore's hand even if one time he tried. They walked hand and hand going to the dining area. King Timodore restrained himself from picking up his wife and brings her back to their bedroom. He tightened his hold to her hand instead. Queen Asalea felt such tight hold to her hand of King Timodore. She looked up at him and smiled at him as if saying, "I like what you did."

With that smile, King Timodore looked away and walked faster. They need to reach the dining area immediately; otherwise, he might not able to hold himself anymore and he might bring her back to their bedroom and make love to her.

Everyone sitting at the dining table, Toremo, Dreckos, and Sulie was all eyes to the pair when they entered the dining room. Sulie's eyebrows immediately rose up and her lips twisted in jealousy. Dreckos tried to suppress his smile. He finds it amusing that the King could not let go his hand from his wife's hand even in front of her supposed to be another woman, Sulie.

"Hey, good thing you arrived already. We are about to start our dinner." Dreckos bursts out breaking the silence in the dining area.

"Good, I am hungry." King Timodore said while guiding Queen Asalea to her seat then he sat beside her afterward.

"Excuse me; I just need to get something in my room," Sulie said then stood up and walked away.

King Timodore just glanced at Sulie and shrugged his shoulders while Dreckos waved his hand and motion to Sulie to go.

Toremo made a forced smile while glancing at Sulie's retreating back. He then looked at indifferently to Queen Asalea, which the latter noticed.

"Hey, Queen Lea, how's your stay at the lanai this morning?" Dreckos suddenly remembered.

"King Timodore furrowed while looking at his wife. "You like the lanai area?" he asked.

Queen Asalea smiled at her husband and leaned on his shoulder. "Yes husband, I love that place. I felt relax over there," she said while her puppy eyes are fixed on him.

"Hmm, that's good, maybe we can relax there one time." Out of the blue, King Timodore said, which made him surprised that he uttered such words. Before he can take back what he said, Queen Asalea already hugged him smilingly.

Dreckos made a fake cough and a little laugh when he glanced at King Timodore.

On one hand, while walking out of the dining area, Sulie's emotion was wrestling. She wanted to shout in front of King Timodore and Queen Asalea. "How dare him to treat me like a piece of shit!" she hissed. As she entered her room Sulie already think of leaving the Glodeous palace. However, she remembered the challenge she made to Queen Asalea. "No, it will be an easy win for her if I just quit and go. So, no Queen Asalea; I am Sulie and I will get what I want." She then took a bath again, chose a very sexy red lingerie, and relaxed on the bed.

While lying on the bed, she remembered King Timodore' soft lips when she kissed him on the balcony and his hard muscles on his chest. She quivered as she lusted for the King. "Oh King Timodore, please, please be mine tonight." With closed eyes, Sulie whispered.
