Bruce's voice came out loud and dragged. He leaned his forehead against mine and closed his eyes.
- When I said that I am not a man to seduce and leave a woman for pure pleasure, I was not lying. I never wanted to join a woman for sheer convenience and I always made a point of postponing it as long as I could.
- I don't understand! Is that an apology for possessing me?
- Yes and no! - he took a break. - You really seduced me that night, but it wasn't your fault. I had wanted her since I found her in the forest that day, when I came to Alistair's wedding. I just didn't know it until the day I kissed her at the inn.
I smiled when I remembered that day and turned my eyes.
- You knocked me off my horse, Bruce!
- I know that, but in my defense, I thought you were a bandit. - he said shrugging his shoulders. - In the end I was right, because you stole my heart and soul. They belong to you and only to you!
Sniffling, I closed my eyes tightly.
- How much Adelaide?
- What about her?
- Are you going to marry her or have you forgotten that?
Bruce breathed a long sigh.
- I will not marry Adelaide!
- No?
- No. Bruce whispered. - That's why she attacked her over dinner and this morning.
- I don't understand! - I whispered with a frown. - Didn't you have a deal saying you should face her?
He smiled on the side.
- How do you know about the deal?
- Vassals! - I answered with sarcasm. - They hear everything we say in the corners. I think we should just whisper.
- Is that an invitation? Because you know I can make you not just whisper.
A shiver ran through my spine making my blood pulse. In fact, it wasn't the only thing that pulsed. Realizing my annoyance, Bruce smiled, then became serious again.
- The deal was made by my father with Ector. It wasn't a word I said, so I can pretty much override it if I want to. - he took a break. - I have chosen to annul because not only do I need to repair your honor, but I wish to do so.
- Bruce, don't...
- I love you! I love you! - he whispered.
I held my breath when he kissed me. I couldn't think of kissing Bruce with the same ferocity. We were like a sea of storms. He squeezed me against his arms and I heard a groan when I squeezed his neck. My body was on fire and I felt that the fire would consume me at any moment. Bruce lifted me up in his arms and put me to bed. He smiled before he kissed my lap and started loosening the bodice loops. Holding the bar on his shirt, I pulled it over his head and threw it on the floor. Knocking Bruce down on his back on the bed, I rode on him and smiled.
- What are you doing? What are you doing?
- I'm sorry, but I've been accused of being a seductive witch. - said whispering. - Time to prove that theory.
Bruce held his breath when I kissed him. He grabbed my hair and tried to get me off it, but I stopped him. He grunted when I ran my hand over his chest and abdomen. I went down a little to his legs, opened his pants and touched his limb. He closed his eyes tightly and held his breath. Bruce was tough and tough when I started to touch him. Raising my skirt, I rode on his limb slowly. He held my breath and held my thighs tightly. I started riding him slowly and leaned over to kiss him. He gasped as he squeezed the wall of my vagina. When I began to feel that sensation that looked like it would explode, Bruce held my arms and turned us around. He started stocking up fast, making me scream. He stifled my screams with his mouth and kept stocking. Soon we came to ecstasy, together and fell exhausted.
- Will you marry me?
Tears came to my eyes and I nodded.
- I'll take it!
Chapter 16
Bruce
Annabel leaned her head against my chest as we rode back to the castle. She was tired of the events the night before. She had spent the night having countless nightmares and waking up all the time. As far as I could tell, the nightmares were with the time of his childhood, going through the rape of Aideen and the death of his sister Aila. Although the situation was tense, I had the opportunity and the pleasure of having her in my arms until dawn this time. We made love one more time after she accepted my proposal. Annabel was able to awaken in me something I had never experienced before. It was great sleeping with her in my arms and being able to protect her. Now I had to keep my promise and honor it with my word.
- Are you all right?" asked Aideen as soon as we entered the courtyard. - I've been worried all night! Where were you? Why did they disappear?
- I'm sorry, Your Majesty! - said he took Annabel's waist to help her disassemble. - I saw Annabel wandering along the riverbank and she confessed that she would like a little fun. I took her to the tavern, where everything was going
