The Crown's Fire - Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Carriage**
As requested by Ezme, Atlas traveled with her to Wright Manor inside the carriage. The manor was situated in the eastern part of Ebodia near the Capital City so they aimed to arrive in time for dinner having departed early before dawn.

Ezme gazed at Atlas’s sleeping form inside the carriage. “He’s been working so hard,” she murmured, nuzzling her face against his neck.

Despite the bumpy road, Atlas remained sound asleep, exhausted from his increased workload since Ezekiel defeated Devon. Ebodia was providing aid to the freed kingdoms upon Ezekiel’s orders, and Atlas was overseeing this effort in addition to his usual duties.

“This Ezekiel should wake up soon so I can have more of your time,” she sighed softly. The burden on Atlas had doubled since Ezekiel’s victory since Ezekiel was still unconscious. Ezme felt how busy Atlas was with his going on fieldwork often, leaving her alone inside his office to assist him with some of his pending document works.

“This won’t do,” she mumbled with a sigh.

[Brother,] Ezme called out to Nikolai through their sibling bond.

[What is it?]

[Can you extend assistance to those kingdoms too? Ezekiel is still not waking up, and my husband has a heavy workload!] she complained.

Nikolai chuckled and replied, [We can’t interfere in that, Ezme. It’s Ezekiel’s responsibility, as he freed those people. Interfering could worsen the situation since those people might not understand if we—]

[Tsk! Can’t you send your wife? She’s still part of Ebodia, and—]

[No! My wife is pregnant, Ezme, so I will not send her there. The situation is still unsafe, and you know that. Many dark witches escaped, not to mention the monsters in every kingdom that Devon conquered. Instead of complaining, why don’t you focus on assisting your husband? Don’t pester him too much, and let him be productive in his duty!] Nikolai scolded.

[Then just send anyone to assist, for goodness sake. Shouldn’t you and Darius at least do that?!] she retorted.

[I’ll discuss this matter with Darius and King Father Stephan. For now, focus on your upcoming marriage…] Nikolai said before ending the communication.

Ezme clicked her tongue in frustration. “I didn’t even want a grand wedding, so there’s no need for any preparations,” she sighed.

She turned away from Atlas, feeling a mix of desire and frustration. “I would love to mark him here,” she mumbled, gently touching the skin between his neck and shoulder. Unable to mark him due to her vampire venom she couldn’t control, Ezme simply resigned herself to their impending legal union in Ebodia.

Despite her inner turmoil, she knew Atlas needed rest, so she avoided waking him. It was also the reason why she wanted to travel inside a carriage, so he could take a comfortable nap while accompanying her. She settled into facing the other side, trying to push away her restless thoughts and enjoy the journey.

She stiffened when Atlas suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist. “Sleep with me and rest. We have a long journey ahead,” he sluggishly hummed with his breath against her nape.

“But I don’t need sleep, Atlas. I’m a vampire,” she answered with a pout. “Wait, did I wake you up? Sorry,” she added. He chuckled as he buried his face in her nape. “You smell good,” he hummed. And the next thing she knew, she felt Atlas’ hand pulling the hem of her dress and slipping it inside her underwear.

“Atlas,” she murmured when she felt his hand touch her flower, his finger trailing her folds and easily slipping inside her moist entrance.

“How come you’re already wet like this,” he teased as he licked and nibbled the skin of her nape. Ezme moaned softly. “Tell me, are you already thinking of me being inside you, Ezme? What are you imagining while being wet like this?” he pondered in his hoarse, sheepish voice.

“Uhm, I… I’m just staring at you while you sleep,” she confessed.

“And? That’s all?” Atlas muttered. Ezme wanted to complain when Atlas removed his finger inside her. She was about to move to face him, but Atlas held her firmly. “Wait, I want to be inside you like this,” he murmured, and she felt the tip of his length rubbing behind her.

“Atlas,” she moaned when she felt Atlas’s hand rubbing her clit, and then she felt his member slide inside her anticipating entrance, making her feel so full as it pressed against her inner walls.

“Hmm, so good,” Atlas feverishly murmured against her ear as he nibbled on her earlobe. Yes, it was so good, and Ezme felt like her body was burning all over. He was stretching her inside as he drove himself all the way in. It was so pleasurable that she let her soft moans escape her lips.

Their slick groins slipped against each other, and the heavy breaths of his on her ears just made her body tremble in great sensations. Her head swam as she bounced up and down.

“Oh Ezme,” he growled in great pleasure each time she clamped around him. His hand went to her breast, gently squeezing it as he continued to hum her name. His warm breath against her ear continued to tickle her, sending an electrifying shudder all over her body.

His thrusts were getting faster, driving inside her as deep as he could. “Atlas,” she called his name when she felt like she was near her climax. He continued to make her bounce up and down with his assaults until she clamped her walls around him one last time and felt his climax inside her. Her body jolted as she felt his warm juices shoot inside her.

He hugged her tightly while her body still shuddered from that wonderful primal sensation.

She smiled because Atlas was still not pulling his member out of her.

“You should be resting. Do you know why I asked for a carriage? It’s for you to sleep,” she mumbled. Atlas just kissed her nape and suckled on her bare shoulders, leaving her with more hickeys as he murmured, “I thought you wanted an enclosed carriage like this for this kind of purpose alone…”

Ezme turned her head to look at him, and before she could defend herself, Atlas hungrily kissed her lips while he continued moving his once-again hard shaft inside her. She ended up releasing muffled moans into his mouth, but she felt contented knowing it was not only her who couldn’t get enough of Atlas. It seemed her future husband shared the same insatiable desire for her as she did for him.
