The Crown's Entrapment

Another morning came, and Xenia stirred as soon as she felt the cold breeze running against her skin. Gently opening her eyes, she frowned as she saw that the bed was empty. No wonder she felt cold then, Darius's warmth wasn't around her at the moment... his arms and presence...

Although, she quickly smiled as she sat up and noticed just how naked she currently was.

"Good morning," Darius greeted her with a broad smile on her face.

She gave him a nod, but she blinked upon seeing the parchments he currently held in his hands.

"Pluto came back with the caravan. How come that horse knows where to find you?" Darius murmured as he handed her the parchments. "I tried opening them but I couldn't. I believe the guardians had cast a spell on their letters. Also, the caravan with Pluto returned with just as many presents from the Element Forest as it did when it first went in."

She smiled as she received the letters, the missives glowing faintly as soon as they reached her hands. Opening them, she quickly read through them.

Smiling, Darius sat beside her and handed her a mug of steaming hot milk. "Take this as you read. Aurelia instructed the cook in the inn to serve your breakfast and include milk," he explained. "You usually drink Osman's coffee though. I thought you wouldn't like it, so I asked to also have some coffee prepared for you in case you prefer that."

"No, I want milk from now on. No more coffee for me," she replied with a grin.

Comfortably, she moved and snuggled her body up to Darius's warmth as she drank the milk and read the parchment.

"Oh, no wonder it took them so long to congratulate me," Xenia chuckled while reading Devas's complaints regarding his fellow guardian. "Apparently, Polo is really strict."

"Polo is right though," Darius snorted. "Devas is just too reckless..."

"He's a good man. I'm sure you two will become good friends if given enough time to be together," Xenia commented before reading further. "Ah, they also loved everything you arranged for them, my love."

"Well that's the least I could've done for them for giving you back to me safe and sound here in my arms, my love," Darius hummed as he gently kissed her head.

"You being naked is distracting, my love," Darius pouted. "I rushed back to you last night with the salt, but you were already in deep sleep by the time I returned..."

Xenia chuckled as she put the parchments down on the bedside table. She then drank the remaining milk she had and put the mug down on the table as well before facing her husband.

"What's with the long face?" she whispered. He was only wearing his long tunic, so she pulled at the hem and undressed him. "How come you didn't wake me up then?"

"I tried, but again you were already in a deep sleep..." he murmured as he watched her throw away his garment.

That was true. She was in a deep sleep, and it went uninterrupted as he had truly wanted it. It was just too cruel to wake her up by that point, and he didn't care that he was left unfulfilled for the night...

Smirking, Xenia went on to straddle him and wrap her arms around his neck. He was so hard already, and she kissed him as she brushed herself against him, making him groan inside her mouth. It was amazing. She was so easily aroused lately, and she was already gushing wet without even so much as foreplay. Maybe it was because of the changes in her body due to her pregnancy?

But before she could think about it, both of them gasped and shuddered as Darius's rod glided into her core. He was making her feel so full inside of her, and she was so hot inside that she couldn't help herself anymore. She finally started moving, rocking, and driving herself on top of his while both of them were seated on the bed.

After a while, Darius broke their kiss only to lean down to lick and suckle on the supple skin on her neck down all the way down to her shoulder blades. He then went back before going down further to capture one of her stiff peaks.

Xenia moaned as she arched her back, her head thrown to the wind as she gave him more access to her body. She then grabbed his hair as he continued to feed on her hard peaks, switching between hands and mouth as he didn't let either of them be left unattended.

"Oh, Xen... I'm almost there..." Darius hummed as he drove himself deeper inside of her. She could feel her release coming as well, and soon both of them reached their pinnacle together.

They stayed in that position, hugging each other while their bodies were still connected and spasming in unison. He was still inside of her as their bodies shuddered, their pleasure combining and making the experience even more amazing.

Darius was panting as he whispered, "I can't wait to have our own family, Xen. A baby with you... and more pups to come..."

Immediately, Xenia put up a wall to hide her emotions as she asked, "How many do you want again, my love?"

"Hmm... I want as many as your body can handle. I want a big family, my love," Darius dreamily stated.

Xenia smiled as she felt the great desire for her within her husband. He was so excited and anticipating of her being with child that it almost wanted to make her tell him that they were going to have it now...

With a smirk, Xenia decided to put her wall down. The timing was just so right that she felt like it was the right time to tell her husband about it. Initially, she had wanted to make it a surprise for him to make it special. But after hearing Darius speak about it now as well as feeling his emotions right now...

"Congratulations, my love. You're going to be a father," she whispered into his ear.

Surprised, Darius gently pushed her away to look at her face, his eyes wide as he blinked rapidly.

"Xen... What're you saying? Do you mean you're with child right now?" he asked in ragged breaths.

She could feel the trembling from his body and the loud thudding of his heartbeat. She smiled as she firmly answered. "Yes, my love. I'm with child, and Aurelia confirmed it to me last night," she admitted. "I honestly want to surprise you. I mean, to make a few special arrangements when we reach the Grant Manor and tell you the good ne-... Oh, wait.,. What are-"

Xenia held onto him for dear life when Darius suddenly got up from the bed while carrying her in his arms.

"I'm going to be a father!!!" he beamed as he swirled her around their chamber.

Her face burned deep red in embarrassment as she felt his length somehow growing bigger inside of her. Her legs were practically hugging his waist as he continued to swirl her around nonstop. She could feel just how much on cloud nine he was at the moment, showering her face with nonstop kisses as he thanked her nonstop.

"Thank you... Oh, Xen you just made me the happiest father on earth right now," he gratefully smiled at her. "Thank you so much... Ohhhh... Thank you. I love you so much, My Queen, my love...."
