Morgan Shangguan suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his sensual lips. Damien Gray raised his eyebrows, immediately turning passive into active. It was as if a sweet flavor slowly melted, seeping into his heart, making even his heart feel sweet. Perhaps that sweetness could be called happiness.
Maybe it was because he had finally found someone he wanted to cherish, so he wished to treasure her, not wanting her to suffer even the slightest grievance or endure the tiniest pain.
Morgan Shangguan let out a soft, startled breath, wanting to push him away, but her hands were gently caught by Damien Gray.
Shangguan Mo raised an eyebrow and said, "Why are you so free?" After all, he was the master of the Ghost Sect!
Damien Gray kissed her ear and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't claim you tonight."
Though both were important figures, they knew how to delegate. When Shangguan Mo first took over Cloud Guild, her first act was to personally select the five chief elders. As for Gong Jueshang, he trusted Gu Yihan and Jing Moxhen completely!
Shangguan Mo tried to sit up, but was held down by Gong Jueshang and couldn't move. Feeling a bit helpless, she said, "If you want to sleep, sleep by yourself. I need to go see Gong Jueyi today."
Damien Gray lay on top of her, unmoving, his voice husky. "Morgan, you truly live up to your title as the Enchantress Consort!" He prided himself on his self-control, yet was so easily tempted by her.
With a sigh, Gong Jueshang sat up with her still in his arms. Shangguan Mo frowned gently, for they were still closely entwined. She dared not move recklessly, afraid it would awaken his beastly instincts!
Gong Jueshang seemed oblivious, gazing at her with a hint of grievance. He couldn't help but sigh again. Seeing his abandoned look, Shangguan Mo couldn't help but laugh softly. Gong Jueshang, dissatisfied, nipped lightly at her lips and sighed, "You really have no conscience!"
Morgan Shangguan suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his sensual lips. Damien Gray raised his eyebrows, immediately turning passive into active. It was as if a sweet flavor slowly melted, seeping into his heart, making even his soul feel honeyed. Perhaps that sweetness could be called happiness.
"Morgan..." Damien Gray gently called her name against her lips, his breath already growing rapid.
Once dressed, Morgan Shangguan glanced at the handsome, shirtless man before her, then pushed him toward the bed and drew the curtains before calling Susie Yun inside.
"Damien..." She had kissed him on impulse, but hadn’t expected Damien Gray to be so easily tempted.
Damien Gray kissed her ear and whispered, "Don’t worry, I won’t take you now."
Morgan Shangguan wasn’t worried about what might happen between them. After all, what should and shouldn’t be done had mostly happened already. At this point, she had no claim to innocence, so a little more didn’t matter. She sighed inwardly—it wasn’t urgent. Even if her cooperation with Prince Ethan didn’t work out, she’d only lose a bit of profit.
After a long while, Morgan Shangguan patted Damien Gray’s back and softly asked, "Damien, are you alright?"
Damien Gray lay on top of her, unmoving, his voice husky. "Morgan, you truly live up to the ‘Enchantress’ in your title!" He prided himself on his self-control, yet was so easily tempted by her.
Morgan Shangguan was speechless. She hadn’t dared move at all, only kissed him once. Clearly it was his lack of restraint, yet he stubbornly refused to touch her now. Wasn’t that his problem? Still, she admired his patience—he could even hold back like this!
Morgan Shangguan could only lie motionless, feeling both amused and exasperated by his stubbornness. Yet the softest part of her heart seemed to be gently brushed by a feather—ticklish, warm, making her whole heart tender.
After a while, Damien Gray finally sat up with her in his arms. Bare-chested, he got out of bed and fetched a white dress, returning to help her dress with gentle care. Morgan Shangguan cooperated, raising her arms, completely at ease.
Ethan Gu entered the room and said, "Your Highness, the imperial decree has arrived at the Crown Prince's manor." What decree it was, naturally went unsaid.
Once dressed, Morgan Shangguan glanced at the handsome, bare-chested man before her, then pushed him toward the bed and drew the curtains before calling Susie Yun inside.
Feeling his heated gaze on her, Morgan Shangguan found it amusing. After washing up, she ignored Damien Gray and ate her breakfast quietly.
After sending Susie Yun out, Morgan Shangguan took her teacup, walked to the bedside, and lifted the curtains. She looked at the man lounging inside, his charm almost demonic, and teased, "Your Highness, could you not make me feel as if I’m not wearing anything?"
Damien Gray chuckled softly. Seeing Morgan Shangguan about to drink her tea, his eyes flashed. Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and pulled gently, causing her to tumble into his arms—her teacup still steady in her hand.
Smiling, Damien Gray lifted the lid of the cup and drank from her hand. Then, he gently pinched her chin and pressed his lips to hers, passing the tea from his mouth to hers. Morgan Shangguan simply raised an eyebrow at him.
Damien Gray smiled, his hand lightly stroking her throat. Morgan Shangguan swallowed the tea, thankfully without choking. Seeing her slightly flustered, Damien Gray laughed softly, earning a glare from her. Unrepentant, he drank another sip and kissed her again—this time, Morgan Shangguan responded willingly.
When the cup was empty, Damien Gray gave Morgan Shangguan a gentle kiss, then whispered against her lips, "Come back early."
"Mm." She answered softly, shoved the teacup into his hand, and rose to leave.
Damien Gray lay for a while, then got up and dressed. Just as he finished, a knock sounded at the door. "Come in," he called.
Ethan Gu entered the room and said, "Your Highness, the imperial decree has arrived at the Crown Prince’s manor." What decree it was, naturally went unsaid.
Damien Gray said nothing. No matter what the two monarchs thought, on the surface, the kingdoms remained at peace. The Azure Crown Prince’s visit was meant to showcase friendly relations, and preparations had to be thorough. Entrusting Crown Prince Adrian with the reception was only to be expected.
Emperor Alexander knew well what Crown Prince Adrian had been up to lately, yet still assigned him this task. To put it nicely, it was giving him a chance to choose his own fate—if he behaved, nothing would happen. To put it bluntly, it meant he was no longer wanted.
