Chapter 157 Predictions
AUDREY
My chest rose and fell as I tried to catch my breath, "That was not fair"
I was spent, my face flushed, my lips parted and swollen. Darius' greedy hands roamed my body, his fingers tracing my naked spine. I shuffled closer, pressing my naked breast to his. His eyes flickered open and he gazed down at me with a wolfish grin, one I knew meant 'I won'.
How I wish I could have wiped the grin of his face but I knew I stood no chance the moment his hands touched me, no chance at all. What was I thinking wearing such a tempting night dress, maybe part of me wanted the night to go exactly as it did. Honestly I did not regret a thing.
He traced my face with his fingers, light touches caressing my cheeks "I guess now we both need a bath" he chuckles, the rich sound feeling the room and ricocheting off the walls.
"You won this time" I admit, narrowing my gaze at his cute, sexy face. "But next time I won't make it so easy, you were lucky I missed you so much"
He leans down and nips my nose, catching me off guard. I gasp, pushing my face away "You look good when you sulk. Do not be deceived my love, you cannot resist my charms. They are far too powerful"
"Oh is that so?" I raise a challenging brow.
"Yes it is so. My charms alone could make you beg for me baby, it is nothing to be embarrassed about. I happen to adore the sight of you getting hot and needy for me, those tempting curves of yours, soft beautiful skin only I can worship"
I bit down hard on my bottom lip to suppress a giddy smile, "Well when you put it that way..."
I detangled myself from him and slipped off the bed, avoiding his swift grasp. I let out a giggle as I got to my feet, my full undressed form filling his eyes and painting them golden with arousal. Slowly and seductively I stretched, taking my hands over my head and leaning to the sides as I let out a long exaggerated yawn, all the while my back faced Darius. I continued like I was not aware of the hot eyes, boring holes into every inch of my skin. I bent over to pick up my discarded night gown and the moment I heard him inhale sharply I knew I had him right where I wanted him.
I folded up our wasted clothes and kept them at the end of the bed.
Throwing a look over my shoulder I teased in a low sensual voice, "Well, since my charms are not useful I guess I will be taking a bath alone"
With that I strolled into the bath but before I could turn to shut the door I heard rushed shuffling. I peaked through the door to see Darius rushing into the bathroom and barging in. I stumbled back and that gave Darius enough time to trap me in his arms. He pressed his body against mine, giggles erupting from my throat as he litters kisses all over my face, neck and chest. His hand found the nape of my neck and he guided my lips to his.
What started as a sweet passionate tangle of our tongues turned into a starved, ravenous and hungry kiss as he completely devoured my lips. He bit, nibbled and sucked till we were both breathless. My body melted against his like butter on a hot day.
He pulled away only enough to rest his head against mine, his finger trailed my lips, his eyes following every movement like he was trying to carve the shape of my lips into his mind, "You little one can bring me to my knees and I wouldn't care if I had to crawl across the scalding heat of your trail. I would happily burn my skin to get a chance to worship at your feet"
My lips parted in utter bewilderment. Darius's words were never devoid of such passion but these words he had just uttered held so much weight to them I could barely fathom all he had said.
"We have spent too much time apart love. Come with me?"
My gaze flickered to his, his dark onyx eyes lit with a sort of childish glee "Where?"
"To a celebration, one of my oldest allies has invited us to" he picked my hand and pressed a kiss to my knuckles. "I loathe any social gathering, but with you my love" he continued to pepper my knuckles with soft smooches.
"You make it all worth it. I want to spend every second with you, as much as possible"
"Will you come with me love?"
A grin broke out on my lips as I nodded, smiling giddily. He swallowed all the giggles with his lips as he lifted me into his arms and began taking us to the bath.

I glared hard at the sets of gorgeous necklaces displayed in front of me on the table. My mind was clouded with different thoughts. I was yet to inform Darius about Nostradamus's predictions, his prophecy plagued my mind.
How would Darius take the news? How would he react? Irrespective of my anxious thoughts I had to tell him, today, no matter what. It was about time we left for the event and there would be no better time to tell Darius that now.
I pushed myself off the chair, making my way to the door. Before I could make it anywhere close the door opened suddenly and Darius marched in, an amusing look on his face. I stopped in my tracks and watched him walk up to me with a grin on his lips. He stepped before me and pressed a kiss to my cheeks, pulling me into his arms.
"What happened?" I asked, watching as his face lit with excitement and sweet familiarity
He pressed another kiss to the tip of my nose, "Did you hear what the nobles and the entire capital are saying?" He asks and immediately my face falls.
