chapter 32

Hours later, Sophia lied in bed spent. She didn't even have the strength to lift s finger. The whole experience was totally new to her,she never knew that her mate was so wild and vigorous in bed.

It was like his need for her was insatiable. He had given her the slowest and sweetest torture in the world. Not like she was complaining,no,she liked it alot but she wouldn't be wanting anything like that soon enough.

Her legs were trembling right now after the intense new exploration.

Having had not less than ten orgasm in a span of three hours wasn't something anyone could achieve. But her Raphael made her do it.

Lying in bed she could even walk to clean herself so Raphael did her the honour of cleaning her.

Using a clean towel,he had cleaned her thoroughly, covered her with a quilt then went to get her something to eat.

It was already night when they had finished their rounds of lovemaking so Sophia decided to just retire for the night.

Her exhaustion didn't even allow her to wait for the sumptuous meal Raphael had promised before he left.

Sophia found her eyelids closing involuntarily.

Raphael came back with a tray full of assorted foods which were all Sophia's favourites.

He wanted her to atleast enjoy her meal and recover the energy she had lost.

He knows for sure he was too much but it's thanks to her provocation.

Seeing her lying in bed so worn out,he didn't have the energy to try and wake her up.

He placed the tray at the table,sat at the edge of the bed and started admiring his mate.

The way she slept was so peaceful, like she had everything she has ever wanted..

He couldn't help but worry for her,he had seen the mark of dragon had enlarged,he was not stupid not to know that it was almost about time.

His heart pained just thinking about the pain she'll endure just because of him.

If it was possible,he could take up her place and suffer in her stead.He couldn't watch her,a part of his body,in pain.

He didn't want to be redeemed. If it meant his mate experiencing the pain,he didn't want it at all.

He would have preferred to forever be a cursed being as long as he could keep his mate away from pain and danger.

Raphael caressed her cheeks tenderly.

She was the person who barged in his life unceremoniously and made a place in his heart for herself,now she has already taken all the place in his heart.

She was the only thing he thought about now. Not even the kingdom he had painstakingly worked to build for years mattered more like she did.

Not even his hate to the heavens nor his revenge could outweigh her in his heart.. That's just how much she was worth to him.

His everything.

Raphael got to bed and scooped her in his arms, smelling her jasmine scent,he could feel his heart calm and his emotions stabilize.

She was his medicine,His antidote..

With her scent calming him,he drifted off to sleep.

The following morning, Sophia was the first to wake up. It was actually very early in the morning but her growling stomach wouldn't let her sleep in.

She was extremely hungry.

She remembered the activity of yesterday that resulted to her current predicament and blushed.

They had done it again and again and she wantonly asked for more and Raphael being the doting mate he was had given it to her without holding back.

The result of it is her going limp and sleeping on an empty stomach.

She tried to free herself from Raphael's strong grip. His hold was too tight as if he was scared that she will disappear while he slept.

She finally managed to break free. Taking a robe by the closet, she draped it around herself.

One thing she was sure of is that there must be food in their chamber and she was proved right when she saw a tray sitting on the table with three different dishes.

Walking towards the table,she uncovered the lid and was greeted by the sight of her favourites, scrambled eggs and pancakes sprinkled with strawberry jam and a glass of juice.

Raphael was always considerate and had fulfilled his promise to get her her favourite food.

She appreciated his gesture and started to dig in.

Despite the food being cold,it was just as tasty. She wasn't going to waste his efforts so she ate everything in the plate.

After she finished eating,we went to take a bath. Today she didn't soak in the bathtub but used the shower go clean up.

It was a new day and that meant it was their first martial art practice day.

She was very much excited to begin taking her lessons from her master.

The martial arts was going to serve as the starting point of unsealing her powers.

She was done cleaning in no time. Walking to her closet,she found a dress that could allow her to practice without any restraint.

She wore an elegant blue dress Rizia had bought for her and paired it with black tight.

The dress was just perfect for today's task because it didn't restrain her movements.

Walking to the bed,she kissed Raphael on the forehead and picked the sword she had ordered to be bought earlier and left for the private training ground they had agreed upon.

She found Rizia waiting for her at the entrance of the castle.

" Good morning my queen,you look lovely." Rizia greeted then added. She wasn't stingy with her complements as long as you deserved it.

" Good morning to you my dearest." Sophia greeted back. She was in a good mood.

Today after waking up, she had thought that with yesterday's exercise,she might not be able to train,but when she stepped down,her muscles felt just fine,no pain at all. She could even say she now felt refreshed and energized.

She didn't need anyone to tell her that it was Raphael's doing.

He did not want her to wake up feeling uncomfortable but what he did to achieve that effect was what Sophia was dying to know
