A Night With The King

Sophie opened her eyes and smiled brightly when she felt the weight of her favorite person on her, even though she was so big with their daughter now, he still managed to fit his arms around her, with his hand settling protectively over her baby bump. She felt safe and loved even though she was slightly uncomfortable because she had been sleeping on that side for too long. She struggled to turn to the other side so that she could face the man of her dreams. As she turned, she felt a slight weight on her finger that wasn’t there before, her mouth flew open when she saw it.

“Oh my God,”

Sophie whispered, staring at the beautiful ring on her finger. The dim light in the room didn’t do anything to stop it from looking so pretty.

“When did he do it?”

Sophie asked herself as she finally turned to face her sleeping sweetheart. The crazy man had a way of making her fall in love with him even more than she already had. She fell asleep immediately after they finished making love. He must have slipped the ring on her finger while she was asleep. She admired the pretty ring on her finger, she knew what it meant and liked the idea with all of her heart. She looked at Lance and he was still sleeping. So beautiful, so hers. She leaned in and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips, she tried to pull away but he held her face close and deepened the kiss. He snuck his hand around her neck and kissed her even more passionately.

“I saw what you did,”

Sophie moaned against his lips.

“I have held onto the ring for so long, I have thought hard on how best to give it to you but nothing worked so I decided to be sneaky, I hope you don’t mind. Your man isn’t that grand, I am sorry,”

He apologized, caressing her lips lovingly. Sophie laughed at his choice of words.

“My love, I don’t need any kind of big words when I know you love me,”

She told him.

“You like your ring, right?”

“Yes, I love it, so perfect just like you, I love you, my king,”

“I love you too, my queen. Does that mean you accept?”

He asked.

“Accept what?”

Sophie asked, pretending not to know what he was on about.

“You know what I am talking about, pretty woman,”

“No, I don’t,”

Sophie replied, hell-bent on not giving in.

“Okay, okay, I will do it the right way, I know that’s what my beautiful wife wants,”

“Wife? I didn’t know we were married. how come I wasn’t invited to our wedding?”

Sophie queried.

“Well, not yet but,”

He said and got out of bed naked. He helped her sit up on the bed before he knelt in front of her. naked.

“Won’t you put on something?”

She asked. His body was a distraction and the look he gave her showed that he was doing it deliberately.

“Sweet, darling, Sophie, I love you very much and would be honored if you agree to be my wife and queen. You complete me, Sophie, you are my best part, my everything, please make me the happiest man by saying yes,”

He told her. It was hard to take him seriously when her whole focus was his naked body. No matter how many times she sees him naked, his body still amazes her and to think that the man was all hers. So hot and so hers. All she could think about as she sat there was how to get him back on the bed and get him inside her again.

“Soph,”

He whispered. She licked her lips, finding the words to say so that she could get him back on the bed soon. Of course, she would marry him. There was no other answer for her. but she liked how he was kneeling and waiting for her to speak. She liked how he wasn’t trying to impress her with words because she already knew. She knew just how much he loved and cared for her. marrying him was like the icing on top of an already delicious cake. She lifted her hand that carried his ring and showed it to him.

“I am already wearing your ring, my love, of course, I will marry you, I just wanted you to kneel, it’s not every day that you get a king on his knees,”

Sophie said, laughing at his expression. She held his face and kissed his forehead.

“You can get me on my knees anytime you want, my Sophie when I am with you, I am not a king, I am just your Lancelot who will do anything for you. You own me, Sophie, completely.

He told her and she didn’t for once doubt his words because he has proven himself more times than she can count.

“Good, now make love to me, I want to have you again. this time, as your fiancée,”

Sophie invited him sweetly. Lance didn’t wait to be told twice.

Even though Lance had told her not to fear or be worried, she couldn’t do it, she was meeting important people in the kingdom, and this would be her first public appearance as the king’s woman, the mother of his child and his soon to be wife, it all still felt like a long dream, a dream that she didn’t want to ever wake up from. Her hands shook when she thought of meeting the elders, looking at her hand and spotting the ring that Lance had placed on her fingers last night made her heart swell with pride and love. It was really happening, she was going to be married to the man of her dreams and be his queen. It didn’t look so impossible anymore like she had thought months ago. Now she had a ring and the king head over heels for her while a couple of months ago, she had been scared that she might lose her child or get sent away from the palace. Lance didn’t let that happen and even when she left on her own, he still came after her and brought her back. the universe decided to reward her for all the pain and sorrow she had to endure. She got the best reward.

“Are you ready my love?”

Lance called out when he walked into their shared room, he had left earlier to welcome the prime minister of a neighboring country to Otano, and now it was time for her to meet the elders of the kingdom, she looked away from the mirror and saw the man of her dream smiling as he walked up to, she got out of the chair, he opened his arms and she walked into them.

“You are ready, right? Ready or not, you have to meet them today,”

Lance told her; he kissed her hair and lifted her chin, he placed a sweet sensual kiss on her freshly glossed lips but she didn’t mind.

“To be sincere, I am not ready but like you said, ready or not, I have to meet them, they are important people in the kingdom and it would be rude of me if I keep them waiting without seeing them,”

Sophie said and Lance smiled at her with pride.

“Yes, baby, that’s the spirit, remember, you can just have your eyes on me, they won’t say a word, okay?”

Lance instructed, as much as she would love to do that, she wanted to show the elders that she could be the queen and that she was bold and brave, she didn’t want the meeting to go by and them end up just seeing as the woman who can’t take her eyes off the king, of course, that was true too but that’s not the first impression she wanted to make.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Let’s go,”

She said with so much courage.

“Of course,”

He said and they walked hand in hand out of the room, they were joined by bodyguards outside their chamber, the walk there felt like it was forever even though it didn’t take up to five minutes. The door opened and they walked in, all the elders stood up to welcome them. Lance didn’t let go of her hands as he walked with her to the throne, he took her to her seat before going over to the throne. Before he left her, he leaned towards her and whispered to her.

“Soon, you will sit next to me on the throne,”

He pointed at the queen’s spot, and her heart jumped at the thought of sitting next to the ruler, he dropped a kiss on her forehead and walked away leaving her with a pinky cheek, her eyes met one of the elders, and he smiled knowingly, Sophie bowed and quickly looked away in embarrassment.

The meeting went way better than she had assumed, whatever she thought the elders were all about before the meeting was all wrong. She used to think they never smiled and were always strict but that wasn’t the case, in fact, they laughed at her mistakes but not in a harsh or mocking way. they asked her questions and she answered without lying. They asked what she does and she told them she was a trained and experienced Nurse, they seemed to approve of her profession. They asked other questions including questions about her family and what she hoped to contribute to the kingdom as the queen. She answered the best way she could, she had visions and she shared a preview with them.
