"Hey, Kay let go right now," Joanna said as she tried to climb down from his body.
"I am helping you to take a closer look at me at the perfect angle, who knows you might change your mind about me if you get a perfect picture of my face," Kayden said, not attempting to let go of her.
"I have viewed you from all angles and I don't see any difference so I don't think there's any need…,"
"Take a closer look hmm? You might have missed something," Kayden said. He turned his face to the left and then to the right to give her a perfect view of all sides of his face.
"Don't be hasty with your decision so you don't regret missing such a perfect husband…,"
"Cut out with it already," Joanna said. Kayden was stunned to see that she was able to free herself despite the amount of strength he applied.
With the amount of strength he applied no normal human would have been able to break free from his hold no matter how hard they tried.
That Joanna was able to break free from his grip further proved his assumptions of her powers right.
His surprise vanished in the same manner it came. He didn't let her climb out of the bed before he pulled her onto himself.
He rolled her over and took position on top of her.
"Kay, what do you think you are doing huh?" Joanna asked, seeing the ambiguous state they were in.
"Don't forget what you promised me. You said you wouldn't lay a hand on me…,"
"My promise was only valid for the night and unfortunately this is morning. That means it doesn't count," Kayden said with his husky tone.
He lowered his head and tried to kiss her but Joanna shifted her head to the right to avoid his kiss.
He blew a hot breath at her bare skin. He could feel her body stiffen as a result of his actions.
"If you are too shy to take the lead then I don't mind doing it. Anyways the one who takes the lead doesn't matter but what is important is that we both enjoy ourselves," Kayden said flirtatiously.
He pretended as though he wanted to unbutton the grey shirt she wore.
[He has always been taking advantage of me at every given hour. Since he wants to play why don't I beat him to his game]
Joanna grinned evilly as she stared at the guy who was oblivious of the wicked plans she was having about him.
"Taking a second look at you I admit that you are not bad at all," Joanna said. She raised her hand and caressed his face, taking Kayden by surprise with her sudden boldness.
"You are tall, handsome, rich and undoubtedly the most powerful man in the Kingdom? What more could any woman look for in a partner?" Joanna said as she stroked his eyebrows passionately.
Kayden stared at her like he was looking at a stranger.
[What has suddenly come over her? Have I provoked her too sexually which is why she suddenly developed an outburst of emotions?]
Kayden stared at her as she linked her lips flirtatiously.
He looked away when the mere looking of her lips made him feel aroused.
"Look at these long eyelashes, these enticing, pair of eyes, this well-sculpted nose and oh… these sexy lips," Joanna touched every part of his face that she mentioned.
"There was a god in front of me all this while and I didn't notice. I must have been out of mine to reject such a heavenly being," Joanna said.
Seeing that he was distracted she quickly toppled him over so that he was lying underneath while she stayed at the top.
"What…,"
"Sshh… today it's my turn to make you happy and I promise that I won't disappoint you," Joanna placed her index finger on his lips to stop him from talking.
Not long afterwards she started unbuttoning his shirt. She was about to undo the last button when Kayden grabbed her hands.
She raised an eyebrow, "Isn't this what you always wanted so why are you stopping me?"
"Did you suddenly grow tired of playing hmm or am I doing it the wrong way?" Joanna asked the guy who was staring at her.
"You…,"
"I wasn't planning to do anything to you in the first place. I only wanted to show you that what you can do I can also do it and even better," Joanna said as she climbed down from him.
"Does that mean you have no ounce of feelings for me…,"
"Stop talking and get dressed or I will be forced to strip you and confiscate your clothes…,"
"Don't do that ok," Kayden sat up from where he lay.
"Although I don't mind being embarrassed in front of you since you will be my wife in the future that is not the same…,"
"I haven't accepted your proposal so what wife are you talking about huh?" Joanna asked immediately, standing up from the bed.
She turned her back on him so that he would not see her blushed face.
"Not right now but in the future. I am confident of making you love me back," Kayden said seriously.
He stood up from the bed and carried the gift box laying on the table.
"And that is why I will entrust you with these gifts. It is yours and it will forever be yours since to me, you will always remain my only Queen," Kayden said as he extended the gifts to her.
"But…," Kayden didn't let her say anything. He shoved the gift box into her hands.
"It was my birthday gift to you and you had already accepted it but entrusted it to that day to hold it up until the end of the party…," Kayden trailed with a smile.
"The day of returning the gift has been long overdue so it is only right that I return it today," Kayden said. He buttoned up his shirt.
"I will hand over the gift…,"
"To our kids in the future as an heirloom so don't worry about holding onto it forever," Kayden shamelessly completed the words for her despite knowing that wasn't what she wanted to say.
"You…,"
"Are you upset that I will be leaving soon?" Kayden asked. He resisted the urge to laugh when he saw her bite her lower lips hard.
"How about we shower in the river together? That way we will spend more time…,"
"Do you believe that I will forget your title as the King and gag your mouth right now?" Joanna threatened fiercely.
She and Kayden continued talking until it was time for him to leave.
For the remaining days until the party, Kayden continued dropping by at the forest to keep her company.
On the night of the party in his full regalia, he came to the forest not only to pick her up but to deliver what she asked of him.
Joanna stared at the dress spread on the bed with mixed feelings.
The white butterfly dress made her recall the most horrifying night of her life.
In this dress, she received the happiness and respect she has never received all her life.
Also in this same dress, she was buttered and pushed to her death.
"Now that I have this dress and accessories I guess it is my time to surprise everyone," Joanna said. The sadness in her eyes was long gone.
"Aren't you gonna tell me what are your plans until the very end?" Kayden asked curiously, his gaze focused on the lady who had applied makeup on her face.
"In an hour or so it will be showtime so long forward to it," Joanna's evil grin made her look like the Daredevil.
