64 Sleeping Beauty And I (2/2)
He felt a surge of relief swell inside when she softly tugged his robe.
”I'm scared,” she murmured.
He gently kissed her bruised forehead, red from hitting the cabinet. Her eyelashes dropped to his touch and he felt her relax. She was hot to the touch in his arms. This made him suspect that a fever was the cause of her nightmares
He shifted her into his arms and carried her, princess style, back into bed. She was lighter than he expected but the bed surged at their combined weight.
Shen Hong liked having her so close, and her depending on him at her frailty. He wanted to lull her out of her fears.
Without allowing a moment to pass, she cuddled into his arms, still breathing erratically fast. Her actions highlighted him as someone who would protect her.

His breath hitched in surprise and it took much to gain control of himself.
Not on his chest. Anything but his chest. When she was anyway near his chest, it did things to him.
Shen Hong's palm skimmed up and down her wet back to calm her. The white satin sleeping robe of hers was wet from sweat. He breathed her in like a starved animal. Her womanly scent was teasing his senses which made her irresistible.
”Summon a palace maid to bring fresh sleeping garments and a cup of milk.” His voice was octave, reverberating through the room for Luo Meng to follow through.
Two palace maids came in and Shen Hong walked to the window to give his back to them. He respected a woman's privacy and would rather see Little Fox naked for the first time when he was hot and hard for her, ready to take her.
They wiped her clean and changed her and it was half an hour later when they left. He looked back to see her tiredly lying down, breathing slowly and dozing.
”Don't sleep yet.” He took the milk from the cabinet by the bed.
Her heavy lidded eyes observed the milk then she shook her head.
”Would you like water instead?”
Again she shook her head.
He settled in bed and lifted her to rest on him. That was where she belonged. With him. Intimately together, they would make fire because she was the perfect fit in every sense.
”If you don't drink anything, you will dehydrate,” he wheedled her into drinking. She faintly took multiple sips then closed her eyes to object further drinking.
He didn't force her.
It was within a few minutes when her breathing evened that he decided to leave to attend to his impending work. He moved just an inch but she held his wrist back, refusing his departure.
”Don't leave,” she mumbled, snuggling close to him. More heat radiated from her small body.
He examined her blue-black hand that rounded his wrist tightly. His heart squeezed at the sight of it, an unusual feeling engrossing him. It was a heavy feeling relating to him feeling bad for being the cause of her suffering. He was contending with a feeling and he didn't know what it was called. It was unfamiliar.
”I won't leave,” he sincerely replied but grimaced due to an afterthought. He was making another promise he could not keep.
Shen Hong freed his hand from her grip and wrapped his arm around her while hers moved around his torso, warm and soft. She was a drug he craved every time he got close to her. His hand traced her smooth skin and trailed down her silky braided hair. Each thing about Little Fox was bewitching.
”Your Majesty,” Eunuch Nam used the tone that meant that he was delaying his schedule. His work was imminent and it could not wait because the following week he was going to be in YiYuan. He looked at her and she looked enchanting sleeping so peacefully. It was enjoyable to watch her.
He moved fraction by fraction and luckily got out of her grip without stirring her awake. It was sad to leave her but his heart was not hers after all. Elora came first and Little Fox was just a fling that his body lusted after. She would be rubbish to him when he got tired of her. Little Fox would not be the first woman who he chased and later discarded anyway.
