Primrose didn’t even have the chance to open her mouth when Edmund touched her lips with his. She tilted her head, touching his cheek once she was sure that her husband would never drop her.
Her whole body melted into his arms. Their lips moved together slowly, gently, as if they were made to fit just right. His scent filled her senses, a blend of vanilla and aged wine that made her feel lightheaded, almost drunk.
She parted her lips, letting him kiss her deeper and sucking her lower lip, then her upper, over and over again.
Her evening robe slipped off her shoulders and fell to the floor, leaving her in only a soft, light pink nightgown with long, loose sleeves.
She hadn’t worn a corset tonight. She only planned to walk around the palace before bed, and the thick robe had covered everything well enough.
Her nightgown wasn’t see-through, but the fabric was thin. Therefore, when Edmund touched her, it felt like he was touching her bare skin.
Primrose squirmed and let out a soft moan when his hand moved from her waist up to the side of her breast.
When their kiss finally ended, she leaned into him, breathless, while he planted small kisses along her neck, then down to her bare shoulder.
Her toes curled. He hadn’t even touched her in the most sensitive places yet, but her heart was already racing, and turned her whole body into soft jelly.
[I can never get enough of smelling her flowery scent] Edmund breathed against her neck, kissing her again and again until another moan escaped her lips.
"Edmund ..." she whispered. "You already prepared the bed. It’d be a shame not to use it."
Edmund’s eyes darkened with desire in an instant. He took a step toward the bed, almost throwing Primrose onto it, if only he hadn’t come to his senses at the very last second.
[You fool! What if my wife gets hurt because I toss her onto the bed like that?!]
Primrose blinked, puzzled by the sudden pause. The royal bed was incredibly soft, sinking slightly under one’s weight the moment they lay down.
Even if Edmund had thrown her onto it, she wouldn’t have gotten hurt, but the Lycan King still didn’t want to take any chances.
Primrose couldn’t help but feel flustered by his gentleness. Her heart felt like it might burst one day, especially with the way Edmund always treated her like she was a delicate beautiful flower.
[Why is my wife’s heartbeat louder and faster than usual? Is she sick?]
As Edmund gently laid her down on the bed, his ears were close to her chest, so it was no surprise he could hear her heartbeat loud and clear.
"Wife, you ... you’re not going to faint, are you?" Edmund asked, a little uncertain. "Your heart ... it’s beating too hard."
Primrose looked away, mumbling, "It just means I’m really happy."
[My ... my wife is happy?! What made her happy?!]
[IS IT BECAUSE OF ME?!]
Who else could it be? The soldiers outside the hallway?
