Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 819

"What's the next step?" Belinda looked at him with confusion in her eyes. She was in awe of this charming man. Her heart fluttered.

"You dumb blonde, it's sex," Duke said as he smiled at her. He didn't give her the time to let the words sink in and kissed her on the lips.

Belinda, of course, knew what the wedding night would entail, but did not expect everything to happen so soon. She did not expect him to be so straightforward about it. Panicking, she looked back at him with wide eyes.

Duke was not in a rush. He caressed her first and eased her into the feeling. As he knew, Belinda never wore a bra after her baths. Duke moved his hands under her lingerie and stroked her body, arousing her.

Belinda breathed hard as she slowly closed her eyes. She responded to his zeal, kissing him back fervently. She bloomed as she matched his every movement. His obvious desire was like successive tidal waves that ambushed her each time. They lost themselves in each other.

Outside, the river Nile rippled in earnest. As their passions grew, the stars outside the window twinkled brightly. It was the beginning of a journey of deep, soul-binding love.

People loved dawn because it stood for hope and indicated the beginning of the day. The night had exhausted Duke and Belinda. The couple was still asleep when the first rays of the sun peeked through the opening in the curtains.

Belinda was the first one to open her eyes. The excitement of traveling this enchanting country was still present on her mind. However, as she gazed at the beautiful face of the man lying beside her, she found herself not wanting to move her eyes away. Her heart was so dominated by his thoughts that there was no room for anything else. That was how love worked. Everything else in the world, no matter how fancy, seemed ordinary in comparison to the person one loved.

She could not imagine surviving if Duke ever left her. Belinda decided she would always value and cherish their relationship. She would treat every single day with him as the last day of her life.

There were shrines all over Egypt, as famous as the pyramids. The couple took a boat and followed the coastline of the river Nile. They reached Abu Simbel Shrine and the statue of Ramesses II. It shone brightly in the golden sunshine. After that, they strolled through the crowded open-air bazaar in Cairo and bought gifts for their friends and relatives.

In the evening, they sat together by the Aswan Dam and sipped at their fruity cocktails. Over the rims of their sunglasses, they watched the rivers flow between the jagged rocks. In the red sunset, the tombs of the princes who had been long forgotten could be seen. The scene was as glorious as an eternal dream, just like their love. They did not ever want to wake up from it.

Enchanted by the landscape, Belinda's heart soured. She gazed at Duke with dreamy eyes, looking like an affectionate and shy young girl.

Their vacation to Egypt was free from any disturbance. Their feelings for each other grew intense as they traveled together. They visited the pyramids, looked at ancient Egyptian paintings and walked across mysterious western deserts. There were historical monuments all over the place. They were so in awe of the breathtaking views, that for a while they forgot where they had come from and about their lives back in their own country. As dawn broke, they walked out everyday to explore the streets and returned under the starry sky. Their days were exciting and their nights were full of passion.
