The Royal Mark-Chapter 51: I Will Mark You
"Elsa, marry me, and be my Queen..." Chris looks seriously into Elsa’s eyes, waiting for her reply.
However, instead of offering a straightforward response, she let out a chuckle, saying, "I must have given you quite a knock on the head. Let me take a look." Elsa then gently pushed Chris aside, guiding him to sit beside her, and began inspecting his head.
He gently moved her hands away and pointed out, "Why do you keep forgetting that I’m not human? A pillow won’t harm me. I’m quite serious about what I said, Elsa. I want you to marry me as soon as possible, and I won’t accept no for an answer."
Elsa raised an eyebrow and remarked, "Well, you’re not only audacious but quite demanding too. If I were to marry someone, I’d want it to be the man that I love. So, forget about it. I see no reason to marry you."
Chris wore a smirk, not quite believing her words. "No reason? But you like me... that’s reason enough for me. You can love me later after we get married, and I’ll ensure it."
Elsa was taken aback by Chris’ shameless and confident statement. She replied, "I’m not like other women who will say yes to you before they’re even asked. You should consider marrying those women."
"But I want you... you are my mate," Chris quickly replied.
"This mate thing, I think I can understand it a bit. You are just attracted to me physically. It will pass once you get to know my bad side."
Chris frowned as he did not like Elsa’s understanding of how it feels to meet your mate, "Elsa..." Chris paused as he touched her cheek and caressed her lower lip with his thumb before he continued. "I am not just physically attracted to you. My heart, my soul, and my life are connected to you. It is my fate, my destiny, and yours too. Something that has been decided and written in the stars before we were born."
"My heart aches whenever I don’t see you. My soul yearns for your soul. I will die just to protect you. And your rejection to be mine will be the death of me. Being mates is more than just being married to each other. It’s more than longing and lust. You will know how it feels once I mark you... And I will, Elsa... I will mark you..." Chris firmly said and walked away.
Elsa was so stunned and stumped that she was not able to react or speak even after Chris went out of the room. She stared at nothingness thinking about what he said.
When she finally came to her senses she placed both of her hands over her chest as she felt the hard pounding of her heart. She didn’t even realize that she was holding her breath until that moment.
"What the hell just happened?" she said as she remembered her heart skipping a beat while staring at Chris and listening to his declaration, which definitely sounded true and sincere to her.
She breathed in and out deeply several times to try to calm herself down, but she couldn’t. She stood up and paced back and forth in the room but it just worsened her anxiousness. "I think I am having an anxiety attack."
She looked around searching for something to drink but there was none so she decided to go to the kitchen. She went out of the room and her eyes widened in amazement. The hallway outside was huge and decorated with white and gold, it was majestic in her eyes.
There are console tables and chairs near every door and the floor is covered in red carpet with intricate elegant design. She took a few steps and realized one problem, "I don’t know where the kitchen is..."
She remembered seeing that castle from afar and how massive it is and it’s gonna be impossible for her to find the kitchen on her own. She glanced left and right and went to the door nearest her room. ’He must be staying in this one since this is the closest.’
*Knock* *Knock*
Elsa knocked several times but no one answered, so she decided to go in and slowly opened the door. The light inside the room was on but dimmed. So she went further to look for Chris.
It was a very big room and even had its own receiving area. She moved forward beyond that and saw the bed that was empty and tidy. But she noticed some folded clothes on top of it and she was sure that it was for Chris.
The balcony door was opened and she remembered that Chris used the balcony to go out of her room, so she took a peek to check if he was there. The balcony was big as well so she looked left and right but did not find him.
"Maybe he went out too," she murmured to herself, "I will just ask someone to show me the kitchen then."
Elsa headed towards the door to go back to the hallway but what she saw next made her eyes pop out and her jaw dropped to the floor. "Oh my fucking, god!" she exclaimed and turned around while keeping her eyes closed.
She saw Chris’ naked body, standing by the bath chamber door while wiping his wet hair with a towel.
Chris smirked and said, "You already saw it before, so why act surprised?"
"I did see it, but it doesn’t mean that I like seeing it."
"Haha! Don’t you? There’s no use in denying it. I smelled you that day. If you just said earlier that you want to see me naked again, I should have invited you to bathe with me. Unfortunately, as you can see I am done. So what do you want to do now, princess?" Chris said as he slowly walked towards Elsa in his naked glory.
Elsa then felt Chris’ hands land on her arms and she jolted in surprise, "The heck! Get dressed. I’ll wait for you outside. Let’s go to the kitchen."
She quickly went out of the room, not giving Chris an opportunity to tease her again. Elsa leaned against the door as soon as she closed it and felt her heart beating fast once more. She hit her chest several times with a clenched fist trying to make herself breathe normally.
’What is wrong with me today? Why does my body react to every single thing that he does? I must be going insane!’ she thought inwardly.
