Chapter 159

MILA

We made our way back to the castle on dragonback. We were stunned to see how much of the landscape had changed already, even a few hours after magic had been restored. The kingdom I once knew had been totally transformed.

“I barely even recognize it,” Felix said in amazement as flew over the farmlands surrounding the capital city. “It’s all so… alive.”

He was right. If I had thought the fields and flowers were green and lush before, now, they were on a whole other level. The trees were taller and fuller, the grass was brighter, and the crops all looked strong and healthy.

The kingdom had been completely transformed.

It took us longer than we thought to make it back to the castle, as civilians kept spotting us and flagging us down to thank us for our work. Farmers were practically weeping as they told Felix how this would change their entire lives and solve all their problems.

Better yet, several of them eagerly showed us the magic they now possessed. It was clear that with our work in the mountains, we had managed to restore powers to several bloodlines in Fresonia. I would think it was a miracle if I did not know all the hard work that went into making it happen.

Once at the castle, Esmeralda wasted no time in telling us how excited she was that magic had finally been fixed. We went to her chambers to see her map of magic, delighted to find most of the hologram lit up. Magic was alive and thriving across all the kingdoms, thanks to us.

There was a whirlwind of activity from advisors and servants, all desperate to show us what the magic had done for them and their families. I was eager to talk to Isla, but she was nowhere in sight in the large crowds.

Felix placed Charles under a different type of house arrest, locking him in a tall chamber with no windows. Charles seemed to understand, especially when Felix reassured him that the situation was only temporary until they could have a full, thorough meeting the next day.

“I have some very pressing matters to attend to first,” Felix told his brother.

When he turned to me with a wicked grin, I knew exactly what those pressing matters entailed.

Sure enough, Felix took me by the hand and led me to our bedchambers. I had not been in the room in weeks, and it was amazing how light and airy it felt without the overwhelming presence of Felix’s sickness.

I was barely able to slam the chamber door shut behind us when my husband picked me up, my legs automatically circling his waist. He kissed me roughly, his hands roaming all over my back. My own hands tangled in his hair and around his neck, heat flooding my body.

“I missed you,” Felix murmured into the side of my neck, kissing his way from my earlobe to my throat.

My skin tingled under his touch, and a familiar ache was already starting to build between my legs.

“Prove it,” I challenged him.

Felix smirked dangerously as he carried me over to the bed.

He took his sweet time removing my boots and leggings, leaving me feeling rather exposed in my oversized sweater. He ran a hand under my sweater to my breasts, his tongue following the path of his fingertips.

At the swirl of his tongue against my nipple, I cried out.

Spurred by the sound, Felix ripped my sweater over my head, revealing my naked, needy body underneath. I reached for him, seeing the way his manhood was already straining against his pants, but he shook his head.

“Let me worship you,” he whispered.

Who was I to deny him?

Felix draped my legs over his shoulders and pulled my body closer to his ready and waiting mouth. I moaned as his tongue pressed against my most sensitive spot, his fingers digging into the soft skin of my upper thighs.

Felix was going much slower than I wanted. I was desperate for any sort of friction. I grinded against him, my hips undulating with want like they had a mind of their own.

My husband laughed, his voice rumbling against my legs. “Need something, princess?”

“Felix,” I groaned.

It was the sound of his name on my wanton lips that undid him.

With his mouth still teasing and licking me, Felix expertly removed his own pants and shirt, his tongue increasing in speed and pressure the more he got undressed. When he was fully naked, he removed his mouth and lowered his body over mine, sighing in pleasure at the feel of skin against skin.

“I wanted to go nice and slow for you, Mila,” he practically growled in my ear. “But you’re making that rather difficult, aren’t you?”

I moved my legs around his waist once more, forcing his hard length against my folds. The sensation made us both shudder.

“It’s been too long,” I reminded him. “Show me how much you missed me.”

Felix’s grin was nearly feral as he adjusted on top of me, but the feeling of him sliding inside me had us both moaning simultaneously.

“Mila,” he breathed. “My god, Mila.”

I responded by thrusting my own hips upward, forcing him even deeper into me.

Felix was not one to shy away from a challenge, and I knew that this would be no exception. With one hand twining in my long, unbraided hair, he began to move inside me, slow, steady thrusts that I could feel in each and every fiber of my being.

“You feel so good,” I whispered.

“You’re still able to talk,” Felix said. “That’s not a good sign.”

Without warning, he unleashed himself.

It had been months since we had last been intimate with each other, but it felt like not a second at all had gone by. Felix thrust in and out of me rapidly and furiously, and I could feel a wave building deep inside me.

I slid my hands down to his ass, tugging him even deeper within me. I was wordless at this point, my powers of speech completely gone.

As he moved farther inside me, I became aware of the magical core in me heating as well. Each thrust caused me to whimper, the pleasure and magic swirling within me and threatening to explode at any moment.

He was touching me in all the right places, one thumb rubbing that spot between my legs as he continued to thrust. I could tell by the way his breath was quickening and his grip in my hair was growing tighter that he was as close as I was.

He buried himself inside me, all the way to the hilt of his manhood. The sensation caused that wave inside me to break, and I cried out as we both finished together.

Felix roared as he came, and I could feel his final, shuddering thrust all the way in my bones.

We laid on the bed side by side for a few minutes, breathless, not saying a word.

Finally, it felt like my relationship with my husband had been set right.
