The Crown's Seduction-Chapter 449: Her Dream

From there, Duke George dragged Abel from one point to another to formally introduce him to some of his friends and some high-ranking officials of Ebodia. All throughout, even though he was conversing with others, Abel still managed to check on Dani every so often. From what he could see, she too was very busy entertaining their guests, smiling left and right at all the people she had to greet. And by the time it was already dark out, he honestly just wanted to skip through everything and just grab his wife so that the two of them could finally have some time alone.

A few moments later, Abel sighed as he comfortably sat back at his designated table. He had finally managed to get back to their couple’s table, but unfortunately, Dani wasn’t there. As such, he quickly searched for her, and his lips stretched wide upon seeing her already approaching him.

"Oh, my dear husband!" she cheerfully greeted as she sat beside him. "How’s the party going?"

"Even better now that you’re here by my side," Abel cheekily replied. "After all, having someone as beautiful as you beside me always makes life more worthwhile."

"Is that so?" Dani chuckled as she downed another glass of wine. "Care to explain why?"

"One, you’re beautiful. Two, you’re witty, and three, you’re just amazing company," Abel enumerated with seemingly practiced precision. "Would you like to hear more?"

Dani eagerly nodded as she grabbed yet another glass of wine, downing it in one go before smiling warmly at him. She seemed to be enjoying drinking, so Abel didn’t hold her back and let her drink some more.

"Don’t get drunk on me, Dani," he reminded her when he noticed that she seemed to already be getting drunk. Right now, she was cupping her face, and then she chuckled whenever she pressed herself onto him until his lips puckered. In response, she leaned in to peck his lips.

"So adorable. You know, I find vampires with red irises scary and unappealing, but you’re quite different," she told him with a grin. "You look so manly and handsome. You’re simply oozing with sex appeal, husband."

Abel chuckled even as he started looking at the other people around them. As much as he enjoyed seeing his wife’s playful side in her drunken state, he didn’t want their guests to see it as well.

"Dani, I think you’re already drunk," Abel told her. "Do you want us to go now so that we can have our privacy? Everyone will be looking at us if you keep this up."

Still cupping his face, Dani looked around with a frown as she scoffed, "Hmmph! Let them look. What do they care? We’re husband and wife now."

Abel chuckled. "How come you only act like this when drunk?" he amusedly asked. "You’re always frowning whenever you’re with me when you’re sober."

Dani’s smile widened as she muttered, "You talk too much."

There, she leaned in and sloppily kissed him, but Abel gently pulled back, only for Dani to pull him closer again. Smiling, he was about to kiss her when she ended up lowering her head and throwing up on his side away from him.

"Dani... Dani..." Abel called to her.

She seemed unresponsive, so he decided to just let her nap for now. And after making sure she already calmed down, in that instant, he immediately shifted into his mist form and went directly to Dani’s bedchamber in the Wright Mansion.

Once arriving, Abel sighed as he laid Dani down on their bed. It would seem that yet again, she got herself so drunk. Like last time, she ended up being so clingy with him that she almost jumped him right in the middle of their reception. And like last time, she threw up just before she leaned in to kiss him.

Understandably, that meant that he had to whisk her away to their bedchamber to spare her the embarrassment.

"You’re such a handful," he chuckled to himself as he stared at her unmoving form. "Why do you always get yourself drunk whenever you get nervous?"

It was something he picked up on somewhere along the way. Dani had a tendency to drink whenever it was available despite her own vows not to do so again. And of course, she passed out cold just before he lost control of himself. Thankfully, it snapped him back to his senses, but at the same time, he really felt his self-control slipping with how much he wanted to have her.

With the way her wedding dress was practically falling off her shoulder as she slept, he was almost tempted to just take her right then and there. She was just so beautiful, and the way she interacted with him was just a breath of fresh air compared to all the other women that just sucked up to him because of his power.

"The things I do for you..."

Shrugging, Abel went ahead and took some of the nearby towels he saw laying around. He then began to wipe her clean, making sure to get as much of the mess she made for herself off of her while also making sure to preserve her modesty.

"Just like last time, huh..."

He chuckled at the memory again. The last time this happened was actually the first time they slept together. She was just as drunk as before, and he never hesitated to let a female servant clean her for him.

This time was different, however. This time, he had a right to do this to his own wife.

Slipping away her gown, Abel took a deep breath as he did his best to ignore any and all impulses within him to take her as she was. Instead, he focused on the task at hand, wiping away her mess before promptly getting her dressed in something more fitting for sleep.

By the time he was done, he almost groaned at how badly his loins ached.

"You owe me big time, Dani..."

Abel chuckled to himself as he sat by the foot of the bed, leaning on it as he savored the peace in their chamber. They had all the time in the world anyway.

"Abel."

Hearing Dani call to him, Abel quickly moved to her side. Her eyes were still closed when she suddenly sat up.

"Dani, are you sober now?" he asked as he quickly grabbed a glass of water for her.

Seeing the glass, she drank it quickly before looking at him with a mischievous smile.

"You’re drunk enough." he scolded with a frown. Obviously, she wasn’t sober yet.

"Come here then," she said, gesturing for him to sit on the bed beside her.

Doing what he was told, Abel sat beside her. She then grabbed some sort of pouch from the table then pulled out a bottle of wine from it. It must be one of those magical pouches that could store a lot of things, he supposed.

"That’s enough already," he warned, but Dani ignored him as she drank more instead.

Having had enough, he snatched the bottle away from her hands. "Why are you drinking a lot?" he scolded. "Do you want to throw up again?"

Dani sluggishly stared at him with a pout. "I feel like sleeping now with how everything is spinning around," she mumbled. "I guess I’m just dreaming now, right? So I can do anything that I want?!"

It was like she was talking to herself, and it was funny to watch how the Dani he knew would act silly like this. As such, he didn’t bother responding and just waited for her next move in her supposed dream.

"Do you really think we’re inside your dream?" Abel asked, and Dani nodded like a child with her puppy eyes. Seeing her this defenseless and vulnerable, he was unable to control himself as he grabbed and pulled Dani up to sit on her lap. He groaned the moment her crotch brushed against his still-hard manhood, and he groaned even more when she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Abel stared into her eyes. She smiled, and he cursed under his breath as he pulled her in and crushed her lips against his. He could taste the wine on her lips as he deepened the kiss, his tongue slipping through her lips and hungrily taking over her mouth even through her muffled moans.

He was dying to take her right then, and he groaned impatiently when Dani moved her hips and brushed herself against him. Damn, he already had precum leaking out of him like he was some beast deprived of sex for a long time.

Abel gritted his teeth. If Dani continued torturing him like this, he would end up climaxing in no time. Then again, maybe that would be better since he had no plans on taking her in her drunk state like this. Now, he wanted to have her fully sober and aware of what was happening between them when they consummated their marriage. He wouldn’t take advantage of her now and do things to her without her consent even if they were already legally married.

Besides, Dani hasn’t answered him yet, invalidating their initial agreement about making their relationship real moving forward. He wanted everything to work out between them, and he wouldn’t want to ruin it before it even started.
