My Lady Chef novel Chapter 43

Ezran's POV:

The moment I tasted the first cake, I knew who made it.

I have been eating her food ever since I got home and her food somehow has that sophistication and passion that tends to make anyone lose themselves in the dish.

The three cakes were all high quality, delicious and each had a unique charm that makes them very appealing to different people.

But then I was also furious. Her passion and drive to cook will attract unwanted attention. If the king had found out that the cakes were made by my wife; he can issue a royal command to keep her at the Palace as his cake maker when I go to war with Guthrie and the Royal Palace is not a place I would want to leave my duchess all alone.

Thank God that idiot Prince did some quick thinking and protected my wife's identity.

Now, I owe him a favor for that as I open the door to my room and I saw my wife primly seated by the window; her hand was on a coffee cup; her pretty eyes were only half-open as her eyes closed sleepily.

Immediately I went to her and she moaned as I hoisted her up and went towards my bed.

Gently, I laid her against the bed and loosened the ribbons on her waist, and loosened the buttons and the ties on her corset on her back so that she can breathe properly.

She looked a bit pale and tired but she had a smile on her face. Making those 3 cakes would have been very exhausting for her

I leaned against the headboard and stayed beside her as she napped.

My growing fury soon fled at the face of her peaceful sleeping face. I cannot seem to maintain my coldness and anger when it was her.

"Mmmnnngghh...." her sweet lips parted, enticing me forward as the subtle smell of buttercream entered my nostrils.

This little minx...

I leaned over her, bracing myself as I traced her upper lip with my tongue. To my shock, I tasted cream cheese so smooth that I ended nibbling on her lower lip until she moaned and I found my opening.

Her body squirmed as I deepened the kiss against her mouth while my fingers quickly took off the top of her dress, exposing her plump breasts to my touch.

The feel of her body was addicting as my hand palmed her right breast and her nipple hardened as I felt myself getting hard especially down there as my lady wife continued to respond to my touch.

Since when did I like teasing someone this way?

I have only aroused certain partners only when necessary but just the feeling of her soft skin turn hot at my touch just gave me a good feeling.

But then when I saw her trembling with her hands covering her face; I felt something invisible stab me in the chest. My brutish actions must have shocked her delicate sensibilities.

But instead of crying like a child, she lowered her hands and glared at me, shocking me as she shoved hard, and this time I back away while she hugged herself to cover her nakedness.

"Linda helped picked this gown and even altered the sleeves to make it perfect. All her effort and hard work were ruined; how am I suppose to explain this to her?" she looked at me with an angry stare. "How will I meet the King in this state, husband. This could reflect on your reputation if I make excuses.."

"It matters not to me. The King is merely punishing me for marrying someone he is not familiar with; My concern is only you." I pulled her towards me and used the covers to keep her warm. " I am upset because he can keep you here at Court if he even has an inkling that you can cook better than all those incompetent idiots he hires as cooks. As stubborn as I am; Once he gives a royal command. even I cannot disobey."

"Bu-But..."

"Listen...."

Her frown lessened as I explained to her how dangerous her ability was. by the time I finished. She was not angry at me anymore as I kissed her forehead and trailed a few more against her cheek.

She pinched my nose before burying her face against my neck. The smell of sweets on her was not apparent to the human sense but to my draconic nose; it was an irresistible scent.

"I have a few dresses in my closet that fits you. You may wear any one of them once the court resumes session in 2 hours." she shivered as my lips kissed the shell of her ear before I gave in to my desire and nibbled her soft skin. "So for now....stay here with me."
