Claimed By The Tyrant King

"Are you saying you’ve never even wanted to know what it was like, not once?" Rebecca asked, genuinely curious now, although the question itself made her a little self-conscious. The atmosphere between them shifted, and a flush crept across Cedric’s ears despite himself. "You’ve never really had those kinds of feelings?" she asked more quietly.

"I do," Cedric answered, because it was quite normal for every human being to have them. "It’s just that I was too buried in other things to act on them," he said.

He was just a very disciplined man, Rebecca thought to herself, and she wondered if all the knights were like that. It couldn’t possibly be so, because there had to be some who enjoyed women’s attention, but Cedric simply seemed to be built differently.

Rebecca hesitated before asking her next question, but her curiosity got the better of her. "So... you’ve never had your body react before?" Rebecca asked quietly, and Cedric’s face burned with embarrassment.

She was even surprised that she had said it aloud, and the moment she realised how it sounded, she quickly pressed her lips together. What was she thinking?

Perhaps it was because she felt safe with him, but Rebecca found herself more daring than usual, teasing him in ways she never would have dared before. She had become comfortable enough that even speaking about the subject no longer felt harmful, and Cedric himself did not seem offended by her question.

Instead, he answered her honestly. "I get hard every morning, Rebecca. That’s quite normal" he said.

Rebecca let out a small sigh because that wasn’t quite what she meant. "I mean... you’ve never felt that way because of someone?" she clarified, her voice softer this time.

"You," Cedric said softly, and her cheeks reddened at the answer. "I’ve only ever gotten that aroused whenever I’m around you, which is why..." He trailed off as he raised a hand to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear, and Rebecca pressed her lips together as she looked at him. "I just want to give you the best of myself. I know you’ve experienced it before, and I don’t want to give you anything less," he said.

Rebecca continued to hold his gaze even though the atmosphere between them had grown warmer, and when Cedric seemed to think better of keeping his hand there and began to withdraw it, she caught it in hers instead. "We’ll both learn together," she said softly. "And you can never give me less. I know that."

"You trust me so much," he said, and Rebecca could only smile faintly as she looked at him. The candlelight cast a warm golden glow across his face, although the sharp angles of his features remained impossible to miss, and when he leaned closer to kiss her forehead, her expression softened.

"I hope I won’t break that trust," he whispered.

"You won’t," Rebecca reassured him as her fingers curled around his, and the corner of Cedric’s lips pulled into a soft smile meant only for her.

The warmth between them seemed to grow as her gaze traced the lines of his face before coming to rest on his lips, and her heart thudded as she subconsciously bit her own lower lip while looking back at him.

Cedric was just as close, and he hadn’t pulled away.

He took in a slow breath as he gently withdrew the hand she had been holding and brought it to her face, his fingers resting around her nape while his thumb caressed her cheek along the line of her jaw.

Rebecca held her breath as she waited in anticipation, and not long after, he leaned in once again and kissed her lips. It was gentle and soft, almost feather-light, and when he pulled back, he watched her closely to gauge her reaction.

She had turned red from their closeness, but there was no reluctance on her face, only acceptance, and Cedric looked at her with an intensity that made her heart beat even faster.

"I want only you, Rebecca," he let her know, and her heart skipped a beat at his words and the sincerity in his eyes.

She nodded, giving him her answer, and he leaned in again for another kiss. This time, he parted his lips as his mouth moved against hers, capturing her lower lip between his before gently tasting it, and Rebecca sighed softly into his mouth.

His tongue traced the seam of her lips, coaxing her mouth to open for him, and Rebecca parted her lips softly before he deepened the kiss.

Her stomach swarmed with butterflies, and her toes curled against the bed as the kiss grew more intense, while his thumb gently tilted her jaw and allowed him closer.

His kiss remained slow and unhurried, and he was using every moment to gauge her responses because Cedric did not want to give her anything less than the best.

Rebecca’s hand lifted and slid along his strong arm as he hovered above her, his hands pressing into the mattress on either side of her head, while her arms slowly found their way around his neck and her fingers slipped into his hair.

She closed her eyes just as he did, savouring the feeling of being close to him, and the soft sounds of their kissing filled the room.

When Cedric finally pulled away, he rested his forehead against hers and sighed heavily, his warm breath fanning across her face while she looked up at him with hazy eyes and her long lashes fluttering.

This time Rebecca cupped his cheek with one hand before drawing him close to her mouth again.

She led the kiss this time, and it was faster, not exactly lustful, but with a quickness that was different from the slow kisses they had.

Cedric was quick to adapt, tilting his head from side to side, giving himself over to the moment as though he could never grow tired of tasting her.

It was intense, and Rebecca’s body felt as though it had been set on fire, while Cedric was feeling no less affected by her.

They eventually pulled apart to catch their breath, and Rebecca’s lips were slightly swollen and red, her face flushed just as deeply as his as they breathed heavily and looked at each other. "I want you, Cedric," she said softly, her breath uneven as her chest rose and fell.

Those words immediately made his body react, and he felt the unmistakable strain in his trousers.

Cedric looked at Rebecca, wondering what it was about her that made him react so strongly when he had never experienced anything like this before.

She had simply come into his life and disrupted everything he had once known, although he couldn’t deny that it had been for the better.
