Chapter 131

Ava has been flustered after the vows that they exchanged in the church earlier. She cannot think straight as she was trying to make sure that everything was going exactly like she planned for Marsh to be surprised when she walked down the aisle with a sensual dress and the men were looking at her.
She managed that moment as Marsh was not talking to her after the vows and when they have to leave for their reception, he was still not talking to her. Not in the carriage, certainly not when they have to greet their guests for their wedding celebration.
Not until Marsh was planning something to her for going against his wish with the wedding gown.
“Welcome, how are you? Where is Harold?” Marsh greeted Lord Davenport and his wife as they were coming through the front door of their fortress. Ava sighed inwardly as she knew tonight will be the first night for her to be spending at her new household, in which she was the mistress.
Not her mother.
Ava should be happy but then, she did not know what to make with the fact that she was married now and she has other responsibilities that she has to take under her wings.
Like pleasing one’s husband.
“Well, you know Harold. Chasing skirts whenever he sees them,” Lord Davenport said before he sighed. “I just wished he would settle down already and be responsible for once in his life,” Davenport said before Marsh was laughing at his statement.
“Don’t we all? I am sure you haven’t met my wife. Ava, this is Lord Davenport and his wife. He is one of the lords that served in the Higher Court,” Marsh said before he was pulling Ava to his side closer.
If she was not aware of the hand at the back of her lower back, Ava knew that she was not in the right moment as she was drowning in her thoughts. But of course, Marsh would love to ruin it and make sure that she played the perfect hostess.
And so, she did.
“It’s nice to meet you, my lord. I heard your son, Harold will be replacing you in the next term. Is that right?” Ava asked him as Lord Davenport sighed.
“One can only wish that he did not dally with someone at the time. If he was, it will be a disaster to come for the young queen and the Higher court,” Lord Davenport said before his wife was putting her arm on him.
“Don’t so dramatic, my love. I’m sure Harold will come to his senses,” his wife said before Ava was watching Lord Davenport was frowning at the statement.
“If you believe so, my love,”
“I know so,” his wife replied before she turned to look at Ava and Marsh. She smiled before Ava was smiling back at her.
“Congratulations to you as well, my lord. I hope you have a wonderful wedding and numerous children of your own,” Lady Davenport said as she was smiling at Ava and Marsh. She blushed before her husband nodded.
“Thank you, and I hope you will enjoy the reception, my lady, my lord,” Marsh said before the couple went inside as Ava was wondering if Marsh would ever want to have children with her. She can only wish that he wouldn’t so she would not be willing to spend time in his bed. Not tonight, not ever.

Arabella was sipping on her blood-laced tea before Aiden was coming to sit beside her on the divan. She leaned toward her husband before they were snuggling against each other as the rain pattered on the window.
It was nice to have their private time without the matter of state to be concerned about.
“Why we are not entertaining ourselves with Felix’s wedding?” Aiden asked her as he was kissing her bare shoulder. Arabella was dressed in her chemise only as they were in their private chambers with no one the wiser to come knocking on their door. She sighed before she was looking up to see her husband.
“I think I am done with the matchmaking and I don’t want to interfere with the new matchmaker’s plan. She said that she only needed some time before everything was in place,” Arabella said before she was putting down her teacup. Then, she was straddling her husband’s laps. Aiden’s eyes darkened instantly.
They darkened with desire and hunger that only Arabella can tame.
“And I have something to tell you as well. I don’t want others to know before my own husband,” Arabella said as she was caressing Aiden’s hard chest. Her husband arched an eyebrow as she was biting his lower lips.
“What is it that you want to tell me? I hope it was nothing serious,” Aiden mumbled before she chuckled lowly as her eyelashes were caressing his cheeks.
“Oh, it is serious. And I’m sure you would love this more than you thought it would,” Arabella said against his lips before she claimed him. It was not the sweet or tender kisses that they shared. This one was speaking volumes of her hunger as well as the lust for his naked body on their bed right now.
“As much as I wanted to throw you onto the bed, I would love if you were to tell me of this secret that you were hiding from me. Do not keep me waiting, my love, for I will be a barbarian if you don’t speak right away,” Aiden said as he was pushing Arabella a little so that he can see his wife on top of him.
He kind of liked the view from down here.
“I’m pregnant,” Arabella whispered as she was biting her lower lips. Aiden was blinking his eyes at her before he was smiled as he was breathless at the moment.
Pregnant, we were going to have a baby, Aiden thought before he was pulling down Arabella by the nape as he kissed her to oblivion.
No time to think, he removed the chemise that was covering her naked body before Aiden was undoing his breeches. His cock sprang free and with a little touch on Arabella’s core, he plunged his cock inside her without any finesse that he would possess when he made love to her.
But tonight was not for passionate, slow lovemaking. Tonight was for the rough night, as he was thrusting in and out of her core as Arabella moaned his name.
“Aiden,”
“I fucking love it when you say my name like that,” Aiden said before he was tracing his hot kisses on her throat and jaws. “I am fucking happy that I found you that day, my love,” Aiden said as Arabella was gripping his nape before she was kissing him roughly. She plunged her tongue inside his mouth, tasting him around as he was driving his cock in and out while his wife was fucking his mouth.
“I love you, Aiden Blackwood,” Arabella whispered before he smirked.
“I thought I was a Dragomir now?” he teased her as he was snaking his hand to the little nubbin that was making Arabella quivered on top of him.
“You are but I have loved you ever since you’re a Blackwood. Where everyone was afraid of me, you are the only person in that town who was willing to be my friend and my protector from the start,” Arabella said before the sensation was building up from her toes and settling onto her stomach before she gasped as her walls were clenching around his cock as Aiden was driving it inside her.
“Aiden!” she shouted before she was biting down on the spot where she had claimed her husband on the first night they made love to each other.
“Arabella,” Aiden moaned before she felt the hot liquid of his seeds were shooting inside her as she was taking it hungrily. They kissed before they were breathing hard as they were coming down from their heaven together.
“I think you will be demanding numerous lie down later on,” Aiden said as he was kissing her nipples before sucking on them. Arabella arched her back before she was gripping his hair and pulled it away.
“I might but you would not be complaining anyway,” Arabella said as Aiden smiled at her. Arabella’s heart soared through the skies as it was the second time that Aiden truly smiled at her. the first one was when they made love for the first time and this has been the second time.
“I love you with all my heart, Aiden Blackwood, and I will do anything to make sure that we will have our forever, together with our children,” Arabella whispered against his lips that made Aiden arched his eyebrow.
“Children?”
Arabella smiled as she was looking into his eyes. It was perplexing but also pulled her inside them.
“Yes,” she said before she kissed him again,” children. Do you think I will only have one child? I think you better think again when all I have is you and this unborn child. Also, not to mention my annoying cousin,” Arabella said before Aiden was scooping her up in his arms, not breaking the contact of their joining.
“Imagine if your cousin did not find you in time, I think I will grieve for you, my love,” Aiden said as he was putting her slowly on the mattress of the bed before she giggled.
“And with that, I am forever grateful that he found me. For if I was not a queen, you will never be by my side for they feared that I have ruined you,” Arabella said as Aiden smirked.
“You did, for I don’t want anyone else but you, my love. My queen Arabella,” Aiden said as they were moving in sync again as Aiden was determined to celebrate this news by showing Arabella how much he loved her and forever.
