The Royal Contract

She woke up with the man she was about to marry, sleeping peacefully beside her. She stared at his face and wondered if he did ever dream of her. He did not seem to have a hard time sleeping.

She rarely saw him stay up late at night unless they were doing some activity. She did not even notice him having a bad dream as she used to have.

"Good morning." She barely uttered in a whisper, careful not to wake him up.

She moved out of bed and grabbed her robe, walking in the direction of the balcony adjacent to their room. She stepped out of the double doors, looking at the vast ocean in front of her.

She immediately felt the gentle breeze of the fresh air as it touched her face. She savored the feeling of the wind blowing on her skin. She held on to the rails, leaning a bit forward as she admired the magnificence of the rising sun on the east.

Inside the room, he woke up alone on the bed. His hands roamed around the sheets only to find it empty. He quickly opened his eyes, searching for Dani. But he did not see her immediately.

"Dani," Alex called out, but no one responded. He scrubbed his eyes to clear his sight, finally noticing the open door of the balcony. 

He could not see outside because of the light pouring inside through the glass partition and the curtain hanging over it. But he figured that Dani might be on the balcony admiring the enchanting view of the sunset. 

He slowly strode to the open area, hoping to find her, and when he did, he was in awe. She was more stunning than the view outside when the rays of the sun reflected on her hair. He stood by the door just staring at her, unable to move and look away. 

He thought he already knew what he wanted in a woman. But he was proven wrong when he met her. He did not know that someone like her did exist, and she was more than he could ask for as his wife.

"How long have you been standing there?" She asked, slightly startled to find him silently watching her.

She did not notice that he was already awake. She only saw him from the peripheral of her vision when she shifted her gaze to her right.

She turned around to face him and waited for him to answer her. Based on her point of view, with the sun shining on him, he looked like a Greek god, curved into perfection.

She could not peel her eyes away from his shirtless, muscular chest and abs displayed in front of her, glowing under the rays of light. He could pass up as a supermodel or an actor who just came from a shoot.

"A few minutes. I am not sure. All I know is that I love the view from here." He stated with a boyish grin, noticing where her eyes were gawking.

He was not talking about the sky nor the ocean, but the only thing that caught his attention. His eyes could only see one thing, and it was standing in front of him.

He was assured of her feelings for him, seeing the way her eyes glowed as she stared at him. It was all over her face, the way she felt about him.

"Stop that," Dani could already guess what he was talking about, and she was flattered by his words. She never felt more desired as she watched his lustful stare.

"What did I do?" Alex questioned her, playing innocent, but the glint in his eyes showed his true intention. 

He wanted her as he had never craved anyone else before. She was the only one who stoked a flame inside him like this, and she was the only one who could extinguish the fire.

"You look like you are about to..." She did not finish her sentence when he swiftly took her in his arms and covered her lips with his, devouring her words to oblivion.

She did not fight it. On the contrary, she encouraged Alex as she wrapped her arms around his neck, using him as support. She slightly tiptoed to reach him comfortably as she enjoyed the onslaught of his mouth on hers.

Then, she felt him slowly push her until her behind was resting on the railings of the balcony. His hands began to explore her body, starting from her back until it landed on her waist.

"You always drive me crazy." He mumbled between their kisses. "The way you look at me as if you can't wait to have your ways with me." He said in a teasing manner.

He always loved to rile her up. It spiced up their relationship, giving them a very healthy sexual connection. He believed that it could not only be about love. They should also take into consideration the physical aspect of their relationship.

"I do, but let's face it. You can't keep your hands to yourself when I am around." She retorted back, letting her hands travel from his chest to his abs, loving the feel of his muscles underneath her touch.

She grabbed the waistband of his shorts in her fingers, pulling it away from his skin. Only to release it, letting it snap on the skin of his waistline.

"You know you should not taunt a starving man. That is just impolite." He grasped her by the waist and lifted her until she had no choice but to wrap her legs around him for support.

"Is that so? Then, what are you waiting for, anyway?" She let her fingers slide along his cheek, landing on his lips. "Do you want any further invitation?" 

She moved her hands along his hair, pulling it until he tilted his head to him. She could not wait anymore for him to make the first move as she attacked his lips with so much intensity, losing all control.

With him, she had learned to let go of her inhibitions. She was more confident to show him how she truly felt. Her sexuality had become more daring, something that she never thought she would be able to do.

He quickly carried her inside the room, unable to wait any longer. He ached for her so much that he felt like he was about to burst. He laid her on the bed, letting her slightly bounce on the sheets. Before he followed after her, covering her with his body.

"Please make love to me." She said in a barely audible whisper, biting her lips, enticing him more.

She moved her hands along his shoulders down again to her waist, but instead of playing with him. She was serious this time as she removed what remained of his clothes.

He also did the same as he carefully untied her robe and opened it to his gaze, admiring what lay beneath the thick covering. There was barely anything left to remove as she finally sprawled naked under his touch.

He claimed her lips once more until they were almost out of breath. Then, he stared into her eyes, reading the intensity of her desire. It mirrored the same feeling he was feeling inside of him.. "I think you just said the magic word."
