Chapter 96 Side Story. Chapter 3
Maya nodded, brushing the hair off her face. She debated whether she should tell him about what was worrying her but didn't want to ruin the moment. Instead, she placed her head on his chest and let out a sigh.

"I love everything about today. It reminds me of the old times. Of when we were young and free."

"Me too." Dexter whispered, kissing the top of her hair, even as his hold tigtened on her waist. Maya turned to look at him, but he was staring at her lips. Letting out a small chuckle, she reached out to kiss him.

He tasted like wine and she was soon drunk on the feel as the kiss went from slow and sensual to ravenous and hungry. Maya pulled away to catch her breath and saw the desire in Dexter's eyes. One that made her heart pound and insides sing.

"Out here?" She whispered when she felt Dexter's hands going beneath her petticoat to hoist it up.

"Out here." He murmured back, his voice husky. Maa didn't refute him, letting him touch her the way he wanted, soft gasps escaping her lips as he fondled with her most sensitive regions. He laid her down on the scarf, knocking away the wine bottle and basket, covering her with his body, even as he undressed her.

Maya didn't let herself think, only feel what Devon was doing to her. Tears pricked her eyes but she blinked it away, letting the love Devon couldn't say manifest through his hands and kisses and fill her up.

"I love you." He whispered hoarsely in between thrusts and grunts.

"I love you too." Maya whispered back, letting the pleasure building in her explode into tiny fireworks that blinded her vision. In that moment, she knew. She would never be able to love any man the way she loved Dexter.

As evening fell, Dexter and Maya made their way back to the palace. Dexter hurried off to attend his duties, leaving Maya alone in the king's chambers. She couldn't contain her joy, her smile radiant as the maids readied a bath for her. Among them was Rosa, who eagerly awaited her chance to speak with the queen. Finally, the maids departed, and Rosa approached Maya with a gentle smile, drawing closer to her.

"How was your day, my queen?" Rosa asked, her gentle hands pouring warm water over Maya's body, cleansing it with care.

Maya's face lit up, her joy evident as she clapped her hands. "It was splendid! The best I have had in a while," she beamed, her happiness radiating from within.

A warm smile adorned Rosa's face as she continued to wash the queen, attentively tending to her. When they were halfway through, Rosa couldn't resist asking her question.

"Should I prepare the tea for you, my queen?" she inquired, her voice filled with sincerity, while Maya, lost in her thoughts, simply nodded. Rosa's smile persisted, a silent expression of her devotion.

After assisting Maya with her bath, Rosa assisted her in selecting a nightrobe and then excused herself to prepare the tea. As she entered the room with the fragrant brew, Maya was already seated, engrossed in scrolls that demanded her attention. Placing the tea before the queen, Rosa stepped back respectfully, awaiting further instructions.

Expressing her gratitude with a nod, Maya delicately brought the tea to her lips and took a sip. However, disappointment tinged her words. "Oh, it doesn't have any taste, just a faint smell," she muttered, but continued sipping nonetheless. Rosa's gentle smile remained intact, knowing the potency of the brew.

"Still, it is advised that you shouldn't consume too much of it, my queen, as it is quite potent," Rosa cautioned, her voice carrying concern.

Curiosity sparked in Maya's eyes as she asked. "How so?"

"Excessive consumption of that brew could heighten your desire for the king beyond normal bounds. A few sips at best," Rosa explained, her tone filled with care and caution.

Maya's gaze fixed on Rosa, a flicker of surprise crossing her features, though she quickly dismissed it. "I highly doubt that," she muttered, dismissing Rosa's warning. In one swift motion, Maya finished the tea, draining the cup. "Thanks for the tea. You may take your leave now," she declared, signaling the end of their interaction.

Rosa gracefully bowed, showing her respect before exiting the king's chambers, leaving Maya alone with her thoughts. Maya's attention returned to her scrolls, devoting herself to their contents until she completed her task. Only then did she retire to her bed, seeking rest for the night.

Yet, sleep eluded her, and her mind wandered back to the events of the day. A wide smile spread across her face, unable to contain the joy that filled her heart. Thoughts of Dexter, his kindness and charm, danced through her mind, causing a delightful flutter in her belly.

Her thoughts lingered, focusing on their time together at the lake. The memory stirred within her, igniting a warm sensation that spread throughout her body. Blushing, she couldn't help but surrender to the sweetness of her emotions, cherishing the undeniable affection she felt for Dexter.

It didn't take long for the warm glow spreading in her body to grow into an uncomfortable heat, one that caused her squirm and think dirty thoughts about Dexter. Only then did the warning that Rosa gave start to make sense. Is this the side-effects Rosa was talking about?

Her nipples were already hard and aching and any sensual thought that croosed her mind made liquid heat to run down her legs. It was beautifully excruciating. Maya bit her lips, squeezing her thighs together. She didn't know when Dexter would be back but she was already feeling so uncomfortable and wanting him so much. She tried to close her mind against it but the desire only grew horse, her body sweating.

She started to get out of the bed, planning to seek Dexter out but changed her mind last-minute. It would be unnatural to see him like this and he'll ask questions she didn't feel like answering once it was over. She should just stay here and pretend he was with her. That thought holding firm in her mind, she climbed back to the bed and imagined Dexter was already here with her, whispering sweet nothings to her.

The thought only made her grow even hotter and she squirmed. One hands travelling to her nipples, she tweaked and teased it, letting out small gasps at the sensation that coursed through her body. Fuck, but she needed more. Something to make the ache go away. Gingerly, her hands found it's way between her thighs, caressing the intimate spot between them even as she imagined it was Dexter doing it.

Her hands were soon soaked with her juices, her fingers going in her and out easily, moans escaping her lips. Toes curling in pleasure, Maya continued to touch herself, chasing her relief from this damn ache. She should have listened to Rosa and stuck with a few sips of that brew!
