CHAPTER 49

They both lay next to each other as they sank deep into each other's gaze, Vivian breathed heavily as she tried to straighten her breath.

I am sorry for making you feel this way "Clinton said noticing her body language and movement".

You don't have to apologize, I felt great "she said with a delicate smile and a blush". Also "she continued nervously", I should be the one apologizing because I stained your bed with my blood.

It is all fine but we better clean ourselves up before the noon of the night "he said caressing his hands on her cheeks.

She blushed tenderly at his actions as she got off the bed trying to get hold of her gown which was on the ground.

He immediately took hold of a towel and wrapped it around her with a smirk.

Vivian was still in the bath with her eyes closed as Clinton brushed the sole of her feet softly.

They both got out of the bath wrapped in towels.

Vivian was stunned when she saw that the maids had already replaced the stained sheets with some new ones and they also left her a blue cotton night dress.

She held the cloth to her arms as she stared at Clinton as he slowly dried off his hair with a thick cotton piece of cloth.

The movements of the water droplets down his chest from his hair made her frozen on the spot.

Would you like to have another taste of what you see "Clinton said with a smirk, moving slowly towards her".

n…... no please I have had enough for tonight, I was just a... admiring the view "she stuttered silently".

He took up her chin and said, you don't have to feel shy to talk to me, you are my wife and also my queen. You are my real-life fantasy, never forget that "he said with a smile and ended it all with a kiss on her lips".

She also gave into the kiss and whispered into his ears "I promise to stand by your side through all situations and I would always love you no matter what".

Like that they both exchanged their vows and put on their clothes.

It is already midnight and we didn't have dinner, I am feeling a little hungry now "Clinton said holding unto his tummy.

I am also hungry; would you stay still while I go to the kitchen to get you something to eat? "Vivian said with a sad and sorry look".

That would be nice, but I would love to go with you "he replied".

Ok, let's go then "she said with a smile".

They both arrived at the kitchen and all that was left was leftovers from dinner, which had gone almost spoilt.

It looks like there are no pastries left so we are going to make them ourselves "Vivian said staring at Clinton with a smile".

I have never cooked before but I sure would love to learn from you my queen "Clinton replied with a teasing bow and smile".

So, we are going to make a tart pie with meat stuffing.

My favorite "They both said altogether and chuckled silently".

She arranged the ingredients and pieces of equipment on a wooden table, which was at the center of the kitchen opposite the large clay oven.

She added some salt, lemon zest, and butter to the off-white flour and mixed it between her fingertips until it resembled bread crumbs.

As she went on with mixing, Clinton's eyes weren't off her.

What are you doing "Vivian asked as she felt his arms around her as she mixed the flour.

I am just helping you out or is anything wrong with that "he whispered behind her earlobe.

This isn't helping but distracting "she said facing him while leaning by the table.

Well I am the king right so I do whatever I want without questioning "he returned with a smirk".

He turned her back to the bowl and held unto her hands from behind as she mixed the flour mixture.

They both carried on with the preparation and put the tart pie in the oven.

While they waited for it to bake, they both sat on a stool opposite each other.

Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are "Clinton uttered while stroking his palm on her cheeks"?

Vivian blushed with a smile and remained silent, minutes later the tart was done and she took it out of the oven with a towel to cool off.

Finally, it is ready "Clinton said about to take a slice", stop! "Vivian stopped him from his actions".

I know you are hungry but you need to wait for it to cool off.

Oh, I didn't know I was so hungry that was why I wanted to eat in such a hurry "Vivian replied".

Clinton reluctantly waited for it to cool off before Vivian began to cut it into slices.

Here you go "Vivian said offering him a slice".

Feed it to me "Clinton requested".

She fed to him the first bite and he also did the same, till they ate it all.

it tasted great, you are such a great cook "He complimented her and planted a kiss on her cheeks".

They both went to bed after the meal.
