Chapter 120 - Book-2 -35
Chapter-35 I still want to have eight kids.
"Ria? Are you awake?" Alexander asked when he entered the room and saw her on the bed with her eyes closed. Was she already asleep? So soon?
"Ria? Sweetheart?" Alexander asked before sighing loudly as he sat beside her.
Placing his hand on her forehead, smiling when he heard her heart racing, which was a clear indication that she was not asleep, he bent forward to kiss her forehead.
Picking her in his arms, which resulted in her heart beating at a much faster pace than earlier, he wanted to chuckle at her squinting brows and fake attempt at sleeping.
Placing her on top of himself, he smiled when he felt her body going stiff.
Roaming his hand on her back slightly, he wanted to see how long will she be able to keep the facade of sleeping. And thus, when she didn't react to his touch even after so long, he smiled wickedly before he starting roaming his finger up and down on the sideline of her neck, satisfied when he received a slight reaction from her.
Shivering under his touch, Victoria pressed her eyes more tightly, thinking when will be the most appropriate time to open her eyes.
Should she open her eyes immediately and act stunned? Should she open her eyes slowly and pretend she is awake only now? Or should she not open her eyes at all? She thought before wriggling as she was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable with staying put in the same position for such a long time.
"You know, you can stop pretending as if you are asleep. I can hear your fast-beating heart pretty well. And I can also smell something else that is a clear indication that you are not asleep and your body is having a pretty decent reaction to me." Alexander smiled after a few minutes when he thought her body will go sore if she continues to fake her sleep in this uncomfortable position.
"I am asleep. Don't disturb me. This is Jasmine speaking on behalf of Victoria." Victoria mumbled, and though Alexander was in a sour mood because of what Azrael had told him, he still chuckled at her childishness.
"So, my asleep queen, I wanted to ask you if you would like to eat something. Though it is completely up to you whether to eat something or not, I heard your stomach rumbling when we kissed on the throne, and well-"
"I am hungry," Victoria said opening her eyes and looking up into his eyes.
"Let me ask someone to bring the food here. Okay?" Alexander said before he picked his phone and asked the chef to prepare some food for Victoria.
"Now till the food is coming, can we talk?" He asked slowly, observing her reaction.
"I know. And I think we should talk. We can't ignore the elephant in the room always." Victoria said, making Alexander smile.
"Ria, I know what happened that day. As much angry as I am and was on the matter was only on myself and not you. I am angry at myself for not being able to protect you and our child. I am angry because I trusted some people beyond the limit that led to all of this shit.
I am angry because-" Alexander was cut off by Victoria placing her lips on his.
"I know we lost our baby on the sacrifice, and I'll always be sad about it. But it doesn't mean we can't have a baby again, right? As long as we are together with each other, everything's going to be fine. Yeah?" Victoria murmured, not knowing if she was consoling him or herself.
"Are you by any chance suggesting that we work on this baby-making process again?" Alexander asked playfully to ease the tension, and Victoria couldn't help but slap his chest in annoyance.
He always does this to her. But this was something she was glad about. She didn't know what she would've done if Alexander had been angry for long and blamed her or their relationship for this. Though the mate bond between them has ended, the eternal love that she feels towards him was something, she will never come out of.
"You know, when I saw you for the first time, only one thought came across my mind. And it was, how beautiful you were and how beautiful the mini versions of you will look like. Mate bond or not, I had fallen in love with you at first sight, and I had decided at that time only that I'll have 8 kids with you." Alexander said, and as much romantic, as it sounds, Victoria's eyes still bulged when she heard eight kids.
"You are kidding me, right? You are not serious about this eight kids thing, right?" Victoria asked, stunned, sitting on top of his abdomen.
"Well, I don't think I am exactly kidding. But since we are going to live an eternity with each other that might be more than 500 years, I don't think it's a bad idea. We can have a kid after every 40 years or so and-" Alexander paused when he looked at Victoria's widened eyes.
"I think we can discuss this later." He said before chuckling awkwardly.
"Yeah, sure. I think we can. That is a much better option." Victoria said, still dazed about his plans.
Wriggling a bit on his abdomen, she laid back on his chest, flushed, with her legs on Alexander's every side.
"Victoria, if you don't want to start with making a baby right now, I suggest that you stop wriggling so much. I don't think I've much self-control." Alexander said with a throaty voice, his deep voice arousing Victoria.
"Well, I am not exactly against the idea," Victoria said with a seductive smile on her face.
"You know you will be the death of me," Alexander growled before he switched their positions and laid above her with his weight supporting on his elbows and lower body part laid on Victoria's.
"I know." Victoria winked at him before intertwining her hands around his neck and pulling him close.
"Victoria, what are you doing? You are not ready for this." Alexander said, trying to keep his self-control intact.
"Kiss me. Mark me, Alpha." Victoria said, her eyes glistening with desire.
Hearing her seductive word of approval on the marking that will complete the third and final step to their mating, Alexander released a deep growl before looking at her with shiny Hazel eyes.
"Your wish is my command, my luna," He said before bending, however, before he could land his lips on hers, a knock vibrated in the room, bringing them out of their seduction state.
"Sir, the food is ready." They heard Melissa's voice, and all the jolly mood of Victoria immediately evaporated in thin air, and she pushed Alexander away from her so hard that he fell from the bed.
"Ouch! What was that for?" He groaned, not expecting the sudden kick.
Rolling her eyes, she looked at him with accusing eyes before signaling him to go and take the food.
Looks like the desires will have to wait until they are done with all the problems surrounding them.
