I am the Queen

Chapter 175 - 2

Evangeline went deeper into the forest and sat under the trees' shades where the river glistened before her eyes. Her legs stretched on the warm grass. The comforting heat sunk into her body, but nothing was inside her head, only the feeling of the peaceful stillness that nature brought.

Eric was right. She needed the silence and healing that only she could find in nature. She needed to be away from the city and its many troubles. She needed this. She didn't even know she craved for it until her body felt the sensation of the grass and warm air. She was beginning to entertain the idea of just moving in here, in her log cabin, or moving away in Everland in their secret place.

She stretched her limbs and enjoyed the warm breeze caressing her face.

It was the state where Eric found her. Looking at her from a distance, he knew that she had something going on. For the past days, she was lifeless and seemed to be stressed about something. But she wouldn't tell him why.

Now watching her, even sunshine felt cold.

"Eve . . . ," he called, tone dropping a few octaves.

Turning, Evangeline took in Eric's expression. He was gazing at her like she was a beautiful sunset on the horizon, which put a smile on her face.

"Eric . . ."

Eric sat beside her, and Evangeline dropped her head in his shoulder, their fingers intertwined.

. . .

. . .

"Are you okay?" Eric asked after a time.

"Mmmm . . . just a little tired with all the cleaning. Though all my efforts were useless as all I'm doing is give more troubles as what Miss Risova said."

". . . She didn't mean it. She's just stressed about exams and all."

Evangeline looked at Eric and scoffed. "Are you sure?"

". . ."

Eric's lips pressed tight, couldn't lie under Evangeline's scrutinizing gaze. He sighed and let out a force laughed as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Okay. Maybe she did mean it. But you don't have to take it to heart."

Evangeline rolled her eyes before resting them on the lake. "That woman's words meant nothing to me. She means nothing to me except a buffer for Asher."

"Hmm . . . then . . . ," Eric trailed before he decided to ask anyway, "what are you bothered about?"

". . ." Evangeline peered briefly at Eric before she resumed looking at the lake.

From start to finished, Eric stared at her. He knew her silence, and the avoidance of her eyes meant that she didn't want to tell him. And he won't force it out.

"That's okay if you don't want to tell me––"

"No," Evangeline cut in with an edge to her tone. She faced Eric and looked at him with a serious face. "That's not okay. There shouldn't be any secrets between us. But that's exactly what I'm doing."

Evangeline let out a big breath and settled her gaze on the serenity of the lake. Anywhere to escape the sincerity in Eric's eyes. It was breaking her heart. He was honest with her, but here she was, still keeping secrets from him. It was not like she didn't want to tell him. It was just . . . something was holding her back.

"It's fine . . . ," Eric said after a minute of heavy silence. "Everybody has secrets. Even though I am your boyfriend, you still have your right to privacy."

Evangeline chuckled and looked Eric in the eyes. "Why are you so nice to me?"

For a time, Eric just stared at her. Her eyes were melting, and he was right –– it was more beautiful than the galaxy.

"Because I love you."

Eric kissed Evangeline's forehead and lingered there when tears softened her expression. "You have no idea how important you are to me, and I have no idea how to express it to you. I wish I could give you the world. But love is all I have."

Ah . . . there it is again . . . Evangeline thought, blinking away the tears pooling in her eyes. With just his words, his slightest touch, he mended her broken heart.

"As long as you love me, I don't need anything else," she murmured under the comfort of his embrace.

Eric held her cheeks and kissed her lips. "I will always be here for you. Never forget that."

"Mmm . . ." a small smile spread across Evangeline's face, and she picked Eric's lips before she stood to her feet.

The softness in Eric's eyes disappeared, replaced by shock when Evangeline walked towards the lake out of nowhere. She stopped and stared at him with a concerning grin on her adorable little face.

"I'm going to take a dip. You should join me too. It saves water," she said and strolled into the glittering lake.

". . ." Eric blinked. He then scrambled to his feet, removed his shirt, and jumped into the water.

Evangeline bit her bottom lip, restraining a giggle as she swayed towards Eric. She circled her hands around his neck and brought her lips to his ears. She nibbled the soft skin of his ear before she whispered.

"I think you'll be happy to know that I'm not wearing a bra under this dress."

Evangeline pulled away a little, wanting to see Eric's expression. A sly smile stretched her lips when his eyes traveled down to her breasts.

She chuckled. "I saw that. You just check me out."

Eric's eyes zoomed on her face. He wasn't guilty the least that he was caught staring. He even grinned as he combed her hair with his fingers to have a full view of her face.

"It's hard for me not to look, especially when you just said that." Eric then brought his face near her chest. He planted a kiss on the peak of her breasts and made his way to her neck.

But then he pulled away, and this put a creased on Evangeline's forehead.

"What is it?" she asked.

"We're outdoors."

"So?" she crossed her arms and tilted her hips. "Don't tell me you're going to chicken out?"

Eric shook his head a little. "I'm just thinking that if you bent behind that rock over there, we'd be safe from prying eyes."

". . ."

Evangeline's laughter echoed in the forest before she pulled Eric behind the rock that he just pointed out.

"Keep your clothes," Eric said, stopping Evangeline from undressing.

"You sure?" she asked and bent over when Eric led her. Her butt perked while her hands stayed firm on the rock for support.

"I'm sure," Eric said in a gruffed, hurried voice as he scrambled to unzip his pants. "Even though the rock blocks us from peeping eyes, I still don't want you naked in the outdoors."

Evangeline laughed before she caught her breath when Eric pushed her dress up and skimmed her panty aside, entering her in one swift thrust.

Both their head flung up, and a groan rumbled in their chest. Eric paused for a moment. It was a bit dry. A good thing that the water aid his penetration. He bent over and slid his hands into Evangeline's breasts, kneading them as he nibbled her ear.

She was writhing in his burning caresses, and when he felt her molding to his size, he rocked her inside over and over. He couldn't get enough of her. She was like a drug. Once he had a taste, he was never the same. She made him go insane.

Evangeline's breath was laborious in struggled for air. She rose to meet Eric's urgent trust. Obeying an instinct she hadn't known she possessed.

Her head flung back. Eyes stretched as wide as it could when he thrust deeper and harder, fingers digging on her hips. A cry she could not suppress pushed through her throat as euphoric frenzy explosions racked her body, blinding her as the pulsing moment of release made her fingers clawed the rocks for strength.

Gasping breaths danced along with the sound of the wilderness, and both took their time to stabilized their breathing.

Eric pulled out and fixed Evangeline's dress before he zipped his pants. She was still panting against the rock, so weak and vulnerable. A rigid heat spread to the swelling in his loins. His placid cock pulsated hard against his pants. He ignored it and hovered above her. He swiped her hair away from her face and kissed her cheek.

"Do you want another round?" Eric asked, catching his breath.

Evangeline took an intake of air. She still saw stars, and the explosive sensation hadn't left her brain. She took in mouthfuls of air and huffed a laugh. "Sure. But only if you'll take me in the flower bed."

  Eric kissed the tip of her nose. "As you wish."
