Damien Gray curled his lips into a smile, holding her tighter. With deep affection, he said, "It is a bit troublesome, but for my Princess Consort, any trouble is worth it. However, you must at least make me feel that you love me very much. Only then will it be fair to me, right?"
Morgan Shangguan found his words amusing. She glanced at him and replied, "No need to beat around the bush!"
Damien Gray pondered for a moment, then said, "Then let's just get straight to it!" As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed her.
Morgan Shangguan's eyes sparkled with laughter. Damien's arms tightened around her, and such intimacy always filled him with indescribable satisfaction, making him greedy to hold her forever and never let go.
Morgan was held so tightly that it hurt, and she could barely breathe. Frowning, she pushed him away. Damien snapped back to reality and quickly released her, asking, "Are you alright?"
Morgan gasped for breath, but before she could answer, Damien swiftly untied her sash. Leaning against his chest, Morgan caught her breath and did not resist, only murmured softly, "I'm fine."
Damien checked her carefully, and seeing that she was unharmed, he finally felt relieved. He kissed her lips apologetically, frowning in frustration. He was usually in control of his emotions, but with her, he kept losing control.
Morgan gently caressed his face and smiled, "Your Princess Consort is not so fragile that a mere squeeze would break her!"
Damien nuzzled her forehead, his lips curling into a smile. "I know."
Morgan relaxed in his arms, feeling a bit sleepy. She hugged his waist, secretly wondering if he had a hypnotic effect on her.
Damien Gray adjusted her into a comfortable position and watched as she drifted off to sleep. His gaze softened, yet held a trace of resolve. He gently stroked her cheek and murmured, "Mo'er, you are the only one I truly desire, so I will never let you go." No one would ever take her from his side—not even if she herself wished to leave; he would never allow it!
His thin lips gently brushed hers, just a light touch before pulling away, as if to affirm his determination.
On the soft bed, Morgan Shangguan lazily opened her eyes to glance at the person beside her, mumbling, "Stop messing around..." Then she quietly closed her eyes again, clearly not fully awake.
The past two days had been peaceful. Danmu Li had made no moves, Yi Qing'er was quiet, Crown Prince Adrian was busy preparing for the Azure Crown Prince's visit, and Prince Ethan remained silent. The calm felt like the quiet before a storm. But both Damien Gray and Morgan Shangguan were steady people; they made preparations as needed, but did not fret like ordinary folk, so they found themselves with some leisure time.
With free time, Damien Gray shamelessly kept Morgan close and affectionate, though he never truly went further. Morgan had grown used to it, not even noticing when she had been stripped bare.
Ignoring the person taking liberties with her, Morgan grabbed a corner of the quilt to cover her head and continued sleeping. Damien watched her adorable behavior, his eyes filled with laughter. Once Morgan let her guard down, her cuteness was revealed without reservation.
Morgan covered her head, her body bare beneath the covers. She curled up, trying to avoid those wandering hands, but failed, so she simply ignored them.
"I love you..."
This was not the first time. Damien Gray always loved to hear her say those three words, never giving up until he did. Morgan found it odd—wasn't this something women usually cared more about?
Damien was finally satisfied and replied softly, "I love you too." With that, he lowered his head and kissed her tender lips.
The room was filled with an atmosphere of intimacy, even the air seemed to burn with heat.
As night fell, the passion in the room finally subsided. Damien Gray looked at Morgan Shangguan, now soft and languid, and asked with concern, "Mo'er, are you alright?" For once, he felt a twinge of guilt—had he gone too far?
Morgan lay limp in his arms, not wanting to move at all. She lazily lifted her eyelids, glared at him, and grumbled, "If you're fine, how could I not be?" Although Damien wasn't truly frail, his stamina seemed almost excessive. After so long, he looked even more energetic, and she couldn't help but feel a little unfair!
Damien paused, realizing she had a point. It seemed he had put in more effort, but maybe that wasn’t quite right either.
Morgan shifted closer into his embrace, wrapped her arms around his waist, and smiled gently, "Damien Gray, if you dare touch me again, this Guild Master will destroy your lair tomorrow!" She felt a bit helpless—he was truly an insatiable wolf! She was tired and had no desire to go another round!
Damien couldn't help but laugh softly, "Mo'er, if you destroy my lair, where will we live?"
Morgan closed her eyes and snorted coldly, "I meant the Ghost Gate!"
Damien kissed her forehead, scooped her up, and got out of bed. In a gentle voice, he said, "Mutual destruction is the worst outcome; wise people choose to win together!" He found it amusing—why did she always think about attacking the Ghost Gate? He almost wondered if the Ghost Gate was even more attractive to her than he was!
Morgan hooked her arms around his neck, her lazy demeanor making Damien's eyes narrow. His arms tightened around her; this side of Morgan was so different from usual, yet equally captivating.
Morgan glanced at him, frowning, "Why are you so easily tempted?" She hadn't done anything and he was already like this—if she did, wouldn't he completely lose control?
Damien carried her into the bath, sat her on the edge of a white jade stool, and placed her on his lap. He teased, "Isn't my Princess Consort the same?" If she hadn't been so cooperative, they wouldn't have been tangled up for so long.
Morgan snorted, her face calm and unflustered, pretending not to hear. Who said she couldn't be charmed by a handsome man?
Warm water flowed gently over their skin, soothing and comfortable. Morgan quietly leaned against Damien's chest, unconsciously counting his heartbeat. Damien washed her body with gentle, careful movements, a subtle smile always lingering on his lips.
