*****CHAPTER 54

ALCOT’S POV


She was looking dashingly beautiful as she lay naked on the bed in front of me while I towered over her; equally naked. I had never thought the nakedness of a woman would be this inviting. This…ethereal and beautiful. I wished she knew the kind of feelings she was sending my way. I wished she knew just how she made me feel. How so in love with her I was. I wish she knew just how much I want to fuck her till she begged for more.

"I love you, Mae." I confessed as I pushed my hardness into her. Her cunt felt too tight and I moaned in pleasure as I tore into her.

She squeezed her eyes shut from the hurt of my penetration and still managed to whisper back to me.

"I love you. I love you so much, Alcot."


………..

The morning sun glinted through the curtains as it shone on my face. I opened my eyes and turned my head towards Mae who was still asleep. She looked so at peace as she slept. Like a child with no worries in the world. It was obvious she had a good night sleep and I could never be prouder to know that I was the reason for it.

I smiled to myself, reminiscing over the memories of last night. The romance, the love making, the declaration of love. I would say it was my best night after so many years. I felt like a new man. I felt things I hadn't felt in a really long time. I felt at peace and so did my soul. I wasn't sure of what would become of us yet. I wasn't sure of what this would lead to. I didn't want to think about it.

But one thing I was certain about was being in love with Mae. I was in love with Mae and after confessing my feelings to her last night, I felt genuinely happy about it. I felt…free.

It was intense; what we had. It was as though we had been waiting for ages for it. I had been waiting to see the whole of her and I wanted her to see me too. We saw each other as we shared trembling breaths and desired touches.

I looked towards the sunlight again. The rain had stopped during the midnight and we were past early morning. We had to get up and get the medicine to Mae's mother. It pained me that I couldn't lie right here beside Mae and watch her beautiful sleeping face for as long as I could. I couldn't be selfish in this situation as it pertained her mother's health.

"Hey." I kissed her softly on the forehead. "Wake up, sleeping beauty."

She stirred and a small smile crossed her lips but she didn't wake up yet. She was having a lovely dream. I could tell. I hated the fact that I had to be the one who would rip her from her fairytale dream.

“Hey, come on. Wake up Mae” I called into her softly again as I rubbed her hair gently. This time, her lashes slowly fluttered open and I was greeted by those dark beautiful hazel eyes that always held me captive at heartstrings.

“Hey. Good morning” she threw me a small smile “Are you awake already.” she asked.

“Yea." I did. I answered, giving her another quick kiss on the lips this time. “We need to get the herb to your mom.” I reminded her.

“Your'e right.” She slowly sat up on the bed, holding the bed sheets protectively over her naked body to clad herself. “I need to freshen up then we can go after."

“Okay,” I replied with a nod and watched her as she stood up and headed to the washroom. Not able to control myself anymore, I reached for her hand and pulled her to me again, letting her fall to my chest.

She giggled shyly and I reached for her face and brought it up to face mine. I gave her an assuring look as I kissed her forehead.

"I love you, Mae."

"I love you, Alcot." She smiled back at me and planted a small kiss on my lips.

She was my peace and source of light. I really wished I could tell her how much I love and adore her everyday. As much as I wanted. I wish I could tell her all the lengths I could go to be with her. I wish I could recite a poem that would talk about how much I really did care for her.

“Loving ourselves would not do us any good Alcot but you know I love you,” she added.

“It can work out Mae, I promise you” I assured her, even though I knew I could very much be bluffing. But I wanted to believe I was right, as well. “I'm not sure how but we will see."

“Okay." She whispered back. I couldn't tell if she really trusted me or only trying to sound like it but either way, I wasn't going to make her regret this. I just took her innocence away and I would try all that I could to protect her.

I have to stand by her no matter what it takes. She was my responsibility now and I wasn't afraid of caring for her.

She left for the washroom as she prepared to return to the physician's ward to meet her mother while I quickly cleaned up, getting ready to head back to the castle.

I had been away for too long and it was best I left before It was noticed that I was gone.

This was the best day I have had in a while. It was a very special day and I didn't have anyone else intruding in my personal life.

After Mae came out of the restroom dressed, she left for the physician while I left for the castle as well.

Back to my prison hole.
