“I ALREADY brushed my teeth, Ruto,” Neoma announced as soon as she returned to her bedroom. “We may proceed.”

Ruto, who was sitting on the sofa after clearing the table, looked confused. “Proceed with what?”

Instead of giving a verbal response, she just walked towards him.

Then Neoma sat on Ruto’s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. Then she gently pushed his head down to capture his lips for a searing kiss. She closed her eyes and pressed her body closer to his, waiting for him to respond while nibbling at his lips playfully.

Ruto froze for a moment, but only for a moment.

Her man soon kissed her back as fervently as she did– his hands wandering her body carefully as if he was still hesitating.

Gosh, this isn’t your full potential, babe.

Neoma broke the kiss for air, then she teased Ruto while running her fingers through his hair. “Babe, did you know what Big Neoma told me before she left?”

Ruto, who looked dazed while looking at Neoma’s lips, slowly looked up until his heated gaze met hers.

Ohh… someone is still thirsty, huh?

“Yes?” Ruto, who reacted late because he was too busy dreaming of Neoma’s lips, asked in a disoriented manner. “What did Princess Neoma tell you? Are you talking about the time you turned red while she was whispering in your ear?” .𝒎

Neoma smiled and nodded. “She actually said something naughty to me.”

Now Ruto looked like he suddenly got nervous. “I’m not sure if I’m prepared to hear what she told you then…”

She just laughed at his cowardly response.

But, of course, she didn’t let the opportunity to tease her man go to waste.

Neoma hugged Ruto’s neck again, her breasts pressed nicely against his solid chest, as she whispered in his ear. “The older Neoma told me that her Commander Yoan was a beast in the sheets.”

Ruto “coughed” as if he choked on his saliva. .

She pulled away from the hug to see his reaction clearly.

And it was fun to see Ruto getting flustered!

Her man’s entire face, ears, and neck were red. He was clearly embarrassed. So embarrassed that he couldn’t look Neoma in the eye.

Let’s tease my man even more.

“Big Neoma even said that if they had their real bodies, she would have been pregnant every year judging by how many times they did it every single day,” Neoma said, whispering in Ruto’s ear while kissing the sensitive side of his neck from time to time. “She said she practically doesn’t leave the bed, so their poor son was raised by the Eternal Flame.”

Ruto groaned as if he was in pain. “Neoma… please.”

“Please what?”

“Stop teasing me– I’m barely holding back as it is.”

“Who told you to hold back– eek!”

Neoma made an embarrassing sound when Ruto manhandled her (in the most gentle way possible, of course). Plus, she wouldn’t get hurt anyway because her body was sturdy.

Anyway…

The next thing Neoma knew, she was already lying down on the sofa while Ruto was straddling her hips– with him pinning her arms on either side of her head.

Oh, god.

This was so hot.

I’ve “seen” this position from the erotic novels I read before!

Neoma gulped hard, feeling her throat dry while looking at Ruto’s intense gaze.

He was looking at her lips.

Then his gaze trailed down from her neck to her collarbones.

And then her chest area.

Ruto didn’t have to say anything.

My man wants to devour me.

And Neoma wasn’t sure if she had the will to stop Ruto…

“I’m sorry for interrupting this moment, but I need to speak with you, dear.”

Huh?

Neoma pushed Ruto away when she abruptly got up, then she turned to the intruder with wide eyes. “Grandpa Arche?!”

TSK.

Nero was already buried in paperwork, but he still had to deal with Melvin who was crying while nagging him.

If you want to cry, then cry. If you want to nag, then nag. Why do both at the same time?

“I really thought you were a goner, Emperor Nero,” Melvin said between sobs. “When I heard that the throne was forcing you to marry Miss Dahlia, I thought you would die defying the throne.”

Nero clicked his tongue again. “So, you’re saying you don’t trust me, huh?”

“I trust you as a Crown Prince and as an emperor, but I don’t trust you as a man, Your Imperial Majesty,” Melvin said, his brutally honest personality coming out again. “Your heart easily wavers for Miss Dahlia–”

“Shut up.”

“Yes, Your Imperial Majesty,” Melvin said while quickly wiping off the tears on his face with his handkerchief. Then he sneakily changed the topic right away. “Should I help Your Imperial Majesty write a formal apology letter to the Quinzels?”

That was what Nero was doing before Melvin came and cried as if someone dear to him had died.

He had so many things to do as the new emperor.

The nobles are waiting for a formal announcement from the Imperial Family.

But Nero’s priority was apologizing to Hanna and House Quinzel properly.

“I don’t want those petty nobles to find fault in Hanna,” Nero said firmly. “It’s my fault our engagement got called off. I’ll have them know that there’s no one to blame but me. Hanna shouldn’t be too harmed because of this.”

“It will be hard for Lady Quinzel not to be affected by the rumors, but I’m sure Lady Quinzel can stand up for herself,” Melvin said, getting serious as they were talking about work right now. “But if ignoring the issue doesn’t work, then I’ve already come up with a way to dispel the rumors and divert the noble’s attention away from Lady Quinzel’s failed marriage.”

“And what would it be?”

“Duke Quinzel should name Lady Quinzel as her heiress, and let her inherit the duchy early,” Melvin said bluntly. “If Lady Quinzel becomes Duchess Quinzel, she’ll be untouchable.”

Oh.

That was a good plan–

“A woman inheriting her father’s title? Times have changed, indeed.”

Nero knitted his eyebrows when an invited guest, now surrounded by his knights, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He recognized that face from the history books and the ‘Portrait Room.’ “Aren’t you Aruna de Moonasterio?”

“That would be me, indeed,” Aruna de Moonasterio said, smiling at her. “Hey, little emperor. Do you want to know how to make Callisto de Luca madly in love with you?”

“Excuse me?”
