Chapter 75
75 My wife The sun’s rays entered the room, April began to open her eyes and the first thing she saw was Lessan lying next to her.
Without thinking she reached out her hand and began to touch her hair, it was soft and silky, she sank her fingers into it enjoying the softness of her hair; Lessan seemed deeply asleep as he did not wake up, April stared at him and whispered.
_I really love you.
Alessandro opened his eyes and responded.
_I love you too.
_ Were you awake? April asked, a little embarrassed for touching him without his permission while he was sleeping.
_I’ve been awake for a few minutes.
He replied as he approached provocatively and asked.
_ Do you like my hair? _Yes, although I like everything about you.
Alessandro loved the direct way Abril said things, she was like an open book who didn’t hide when she liked something, but she didn’t hide when she didn’t like something either.
He hugged her, gave her a soft kiss on the neck and whispered in her ear.
_I like everything about you too.
Alessandro continued giving her little kisses on her neck tickling her, she laughed and said to him.
_To Lessan, you tickle me.
Alessandro started tickling her sides, Abril laughed out loud and asked him.
_This tickles you too.
_Yes, now for Lessan.
Alessandro stopped, stared at her and said.
_I love your smile.
April touched the corner of Lessan’s mouth and said.
_I also like to see you smile because that tells me that you are happy when you are with me.
_I am, you truly fill my life with happiness, light and hope, being with you is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time.
Someone knocked on the door of the room, Alessandro complained saying.
_It seems our time is up, we must prepare.
Alessandro got up first, took his underwear out of one of the trunks and some pants, after putting them on he looked for a shirt.
Abril sat on the bed and said to him.
_Lessan.
He turned around when he heard her calling him, she was covered only with a thin white sheet, he could see perfectly what was underneath, he looked her straight in the eyes so that no bad thoughts would enter her mind.
I must think of something sacred, don’t get carried away Alessandro” He thought as he struggled not to attack her and make love to her once more.
She smiled at him and said.
_You are the best thing I have had in my life, thank you for being with me, for loving me, you are the first person who has loved me.
Alessandro approached her, gave her a kiss and caressed her hair.
_I am the one who should thank you, despite everything I did to you, despite having ignored you for years and neglected you, you opened your heart to me.
_And I would do it again, because you have given me something I never thought I would have, a family and a home.
Alessandro kissed her, then someone knocked on the door again, he complained and said.
_They are indeed inopportune.
April got out of bed, she was completely naked, she went to the closet and looked for a dress that was easy to put on, Alessandro seeing her like that felt fire in his veins, it was like having a delicious meal after having months without eating, he looked away trying to keep his instincts at bay and said to her.
_You shouldn’t show yourself naked in front of me, you should cover your body when you get up.
_ Why? You’ve already seen me naked and touched me everywhere.
Alessandro stood up, put his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear.
_That’s exactly why, when you show yourself like that in front of me, I want to make love to you and we don’t have time to do it.
_So I can only be naked when we’re going to make love.
_It better be that way, otherwise I’ll want to devour you.
April took out the dress that was closest to her hand, covered her body with it, somewhat fearful, and asked.
_ Do you want to eat me? But you said you loved me.
Alessandro laughed, he sometimes forgot that April used to take everything literally and told her.
_I mean making love to you, not eating you.
_ And why did you say you would eat me? _It’s a way of speaking.
_But if they are nothing alike, eating and making love are two completely different things.
_I would never eat you, I’m just saying that I would make love to you.
_Then next time say that, sometimes you scare me.
Alessandro released her from his embrace, put on his shirt and shoes, and said to her.
_I’ll wait for you in the dining room, I’ll call someone to help you get changed.
Alessandro found one of the maids in the hallway and asked her to help his wife get changed, then he went to the dining room.
Cassian was already in the dining room, Alessandro looked so smiling and happy that he couldn’t help but ask.
_ Why are you so smiling? _I just find April’s innocence funny, a moment ago she thought I was going to eat her, literally.
_King Venobich neglected her education, that’s why she sometimes behaves like a little girl.
_Although I find her innocence cute, she cannot continue like this.
When we return to the palace, I will look for teachers to take charge of her education.
I do not want my queen to be mistreated for being ignorant.
That was the first time Cassian heard his brother call April his queen, he always referred to her as princess, he had never given her her place as Cosset’s queen.
_You plan to make April your queen, _She is my wife, she is already my queen.
