The Crown's Seduction-Chapter 461: Can Stall

With their positions now in place, Abel did his best to keep his focus as Dani’s practically naked body dangled itself tantalizingly in front of him. How badly did he just want to ignore everything and take her right then and there. To finally cement themselves as husband and wife in every sense of the word.

Sadly, that wasn’t the case at the moment. Dani didn’t want him enough just yet, which meant he still had some work cut out for him.

"Open your eyes already," he whispered into her ear, his breath hitting her nose as he gently caressed her cheek. "Do you really want to be here all day? Cause I certainly wouldn’t mind that at all."

In fact, he wanted them to stay in that bath for as long as they possibly could. Just sharing the water like this made him feel like they were as close as they could get at the moment. Barring actual lovemaking, this was comparable to them exchanging some of their own juices. Or at least, that was what he liked to think.

"Maybe I don’t want to then," Dani defiantly replied, her cheeks burning red at his touch. "We can stay here all you want."

"Am I that ugly, wife?" he chuckled. "And how am I supposed to hypnotize you then?"

"Maybe you have some other tricks you can use. You vampires have a lot of those, right?" she weakly insisted. "I’m sure there’s something that won’t need me having to open my eyes."

Abel couldn’t help but smile at his endearing wife. Despite her apparent denial, it was clear that her efforts were half-hearted. She wanted things to happen, no matter how weakly she stated otherwise.

Still, he really did need to see her eyes to make this all work. Perhaps there was something he could do to make it happen, perhaps to his own enjoyment.

"I’m giving you one last chance to open those eyes, Dani," he amusedly warned her. "Or else, I’ll be forced to do something to force them open."

"I-Is that so?" she stammered out in false bravado. "Then by all means, try and do so."

"Is that a challenge then?" Abel chuckled seductively. "We’ll see how long you’ll last then."

Dani’s throat moved with a swallow, and Abel gritted his teeth as he did his best to stop himself from going in on her. It was a surefire way to make her open her eyes, but it wouldn’t be in the spirit of their impromptu bet for him to do that. No, he needed some other ways to make her submit. Perhaps... Yes...

"W-Why are you laughing?" Dani nervously asked.

"Just having a few ideas," he vaguely replied. "Just sit back and keep those eyes shut. If you can, that is."

His wife let out a nervous breath as he slowly began to make his move. With his mind already running with ideas, Abel began to do a few things that would make any woman open her eyes in response.

Leaning in, he gently brushed his nose against hers, their breaths mingling together while he then used his hand to gently caress her cheek. She squirmed at his touch, but her eyes remained shut despite the absurdity of their situation.

"Do you really want to keep this hypnosis business for longer?" he sincerely asked her. "Weren’t you the one that wanted this to happen anyway?"

"I-I’m sure we have some time," she weakly stammered, her eyelids trembling as she did her best to move away from him to no avail. "We can stall for a bit."

"I’m pretty sure we can’t have that, wife..."

With a determined smirk, Abel began to add even more to the attempts he was doing. His hands now slowly caressing her curves, he brushed his lips against hers, their mouths touching, but not exactly kissing as he gave her a taste of what was about to happen. freёnovelkiss.com

"W-what was that?!"

"Focus, Dani. Unless you want to open your eyes, of course," he chuckled back. "Then again, keep them closed. Maybe you just want this to happen anyway."

Dani squirmed underneath him, and it took Abel his all not to make her his right then and there. The way her body moved in front of him was simply breathtaking, her form the most beautiful one of them all even if he had already seen others in their naked glory.

"You’re so beautiful, you know that?"

"What are you-mmpphh!"

Fully leaning in, Abel gave her the one thing that he could at least do with her at the moment. Their lips sealed, and his grasp on her tightened as their kiss began to last longer than it should have. His fingers dug deep into her soft flesh, and her arms began to wrap tightly around him as their tongues began to battle between their lips.

Still, that wasn’t all that was being done. Abel knew that Dani was about to give in, and he kept his eyes trained on hers as she eventually relented and opened them for him.

’Finally...’

With a small smirk of victory, he quickly began the hypnosis procedure on Dani. While their lips and tongues were still busy savoring each others’ flavors, his power was already quickly rewriting everything they agreed upon doing. He went through her mind, finding the details about their queen’s curse as well as the reason why their king was currently unconscious. Then, he sealed them all shut, preventing her from accessing her memories before she could even blink.

For a brief moment, their kiss lasted, but eventually, Abel broke off, allowing Dani to breathe as she looked at him weirdly.

"I... Have you already done it? I remember you need to erase something but I can’t remember what."

"I might as well, right?" he shrugged as he sat beside her. "There’s no telling if you’ll close your eyes again after that, so I went ahead."

"You... You didn’t even ask me..." she absently stated, her fingers hovering over her lips.

"It still worked, right?" he chuckled. "At least that’s dealt with."

Dani’s awkward stare was filled with conflicting thoughts, but Abel paid them no mind for now. He did what he had to do, and he at least didn’t lose himself while doing it.
