The Crown’s Entrapment

On second thought, she probably needed those clothes more than she did for her own enjoyment.

“Cold!”

“Xen?!”

Looking up, she shook the ice cold water off her head as she saw Darius worriedly peering out from beyond the ledge. He still had her dress in his hands, the deep frown on his face making her smirk in amusement.

“I-I’ve done this already!” Xenia called out, trying her best not to shiver as she began to follow along. “Why not have a bit of fun with it?!”

Darius visibly sighed at her words. With a roll of his eyes, he gave her one last shout, “Just do your best to follow along. I’m sure you can handle it.”

Xenia blinked as she was then promptly left to swim on her own. Without any clothes. Without even getting a bit more reactions out of her clearly flustered mate.

In short, she was literally left out to dry.

‘Urghhh,’ she inwardly pouted as she began swimming. ‘And here I thought he’d jump in with me…’

With a mental sigh, Xenia began her long swimming session acclimating to the cold waters. She didn’t have any sort of problems as last time beyond the fact that she was naked, but that too soon lost its novelty as the hours passed by.

All in all, it was as uneventful as the last time she did it.

By the time it was sunset, Darius was quick to hoist her up and drape a towel over her body. The look of lust in his eyes was a welcome sight after hours of being in the cold, and she was sure that they were going to spend the rest of the night warming up each other’s bodies.

“Never do that again! You almost made me kill my men who dared to look at your naked body!” Darius scolded despite his eyes hungrily taking in her naked form.

“If not for Osman hindering me to get you onboard this instant, then I would’ve punished you for it! Luckily, he convinced me that you doing that exercise naked in the water is preferable so that your body can better adjust and be more familiar with the temperature of the water,”  he added with a deep frown.

“I probably wouldn’t do this again,” she shrugged, hugging the towel closer to her body. “It was cold, and-“

Without so much as a warning, Xenia felt the warm all-encompassing embrace of Darius’s arms around her body. The heat he was exuding was more than enough to ward her from the cold, letting her fit snuggly into his chest as she hummed in satisfaction.

“Does this help?” he asked.

“Very much so,” Xenia smiled, moving herself deeper into his embrace. “This is just perfect…”

“Good,” Darius nodded. “Let’s get you back inside. I’m sure you’re hungry.”

And with that, the princess let her king carry her back into their quarters. Still draped in a sizeable towel, she didn’t even care that she looked like a shivering newborn as they finally disappeared into the privacy of their quarters.

“Do you need a quick bath?” Darius asked.

“A warm one, if possible,” she nodded.

Letting her go, Darius let her dry herself off as he himself prepared for her needs. She couldn’t help but smile as she watched him care for her despite being a king. There was just something amusing in watching someone she loved fuss and care for her to even the most minute detail, even going as far as to do menial tasks for her so long as she was comfortable.

Truly, she was a lucky woman to meet someone like Darius.

“Your bath is ready, Xen,” Darius coolly stated. “Once you’re done, you can join me to eat dinner.”

“Thank you.”

With a smile still etched onto her face, Xenia could only imagine the night she had in store once she was done preparing herself. Surely, Darius was going to keep her warm all night long. Well, not too long, seeing as they had been ready to meet Valcrez’s monarchs come tomorrow. Still, she couldn’t help but blush at the exciting things her mate could have in store for her.

Surely, swimming in the cold ocean naked would be worth it.

******

The evening finally came, Xenia held an alluring smile as she walked out of the bathroom. As expected, Darius was waiting on her to finish up, and besides being utterly prepared for her dinner, he was also naked as he sat at the table in front of her.

“You’re finally done,” Darius seductively responded. “I was waiting for you.”

Almost immediately, Xenia felt her nether regions dampening just from looking at his naked form. He never failed to get a reaction out of her. And thankfully, what she did earlier did bear fruit in what was obviously yet another successful love-making session with her mate.

“Hope I didn’t keep you waiting for too long,” Xenia smiled, sauntering over to Darius with a swing of her hips. “To be honest, I was hoping this exact thing would happen.”

“I was waiting long before you even fished yourself out of the water,” Darius growled, his impatience clearly coming out as he stood up. “I’m almost tempted to let you eat nothing but only me tonight as punishment, but I won’t deprive you of that much.”

Xenia almost felt her mouth water at the sight of Darius’s massive cock jutting out at attention to her. He was clearly eager to please, and she couldn’t help but agree as she came right up to her mate’s face, looking up at him defiantly as if expecting something more to happen.

“Why do I have a feeling that there’s more to your words?”

“Correct,” Darius replied. This time, he returned her smirk as he replied. “I’ll let you eat, but only while you’re riding me, and only for a limited time.”

“Is that a challenge?” she asked in a sultry tone.

Not even giving her a reply, Darius pulled her in and sat her down on his lap. Not giving her any room to recover, he then pierced her with his spear, making her moan through her teeth as she shivered on top of him.

“Nghh~” she shuddered.

“You have half an hour, my love,” Darius spoke with utter certainty. “Do try to finish eating until then.”
