Love Agreement With The King

Chapter 238 - Glimmer Of Hope

"Are you alright?" John whispered to Roselyn as he leaned closer to her and pinched her cheek gently.

Roselyn forced a smile, "I was concerned we will never be able to have kids." Roselyn sighed as the usual concern disturbed her inner peace once again.

John grabbed Roselyn under her knees with one hand and with the other he wrapped around her back to lift her up making Roselyn giggle as she held on to his neck.

"What are you doing?" She giggled but John didn't reply and went to lay her on the bed. He left her down before he recommended she stay there and not move.

Roselyn nodded quite confused by why he would bring her there but before she would ask him for an explanation he soon disappeared. He closed the door and she could feel some noises for some minutes until the door budged and John appeared with a toothy smile on his lips. 

Roselyn was even more confused but he lifted her up once again to walk her toward the bathroom.

He left her down in front of the door. Roselyn could inhale a intense perfume of roses and in few instants, she felt immediately cheered up and curious to find out what there was behind that door.

She could feel the muscles of her face moving on their own to curve her lips as she full of curiosity and excitement opened the door.

The bathroom was immersed in rose petals and the light was tapered, the main light sources came from the candles that were positioned in the middle of the floor to create a path that lead to the bathtub.

The bathroom was also immersed in rose petals. The whole room seemed to come out of one of the most romantic books and Roselyn didn't know what to say. She didn't expect him to do such a nice gesture to her, simple yet filled with love. Her heart was beating so fast and her lips shook from the happiness.

"Thank you..." She murmured as she slowly walked inside following the path.

"Are you happy?" John asked as he followed her.

Roselyn nodded, "yes. I couldn't be happier." She replied as if that was the thing she was more sure about at that moment.

"I am happy to see you happy," John replied as he caressed Roselyn's cheeks gently.

"May I?" He then whispered as she slowly went to remove Roselyn's dress.

When he finished undressing her he helped her to climb into the bathtub. Roselyn leaned her head against the wall as she stretched her legs. The water was at the perfect temperature and she could feel herself floating in a field of roses as the petals released their floral delicate scent.

"Why don't you join?" Roselyn asked as tilted her head to the side and John smiled shyly.

"Stay, I want you to fully enjoy the moment. If I join I may distract you." John said speaking in a mischievous tone of voice.

Roselyn giggled, "how gentle of you not to want to distract me." she rolled her eyes as under the water she clenched her fist and some splashes of water jumped to hit John driven by Roselyn.

Roselyn laughed aloud as John caught off guards jolted, John soon joined her in the laughs.

"I am not sure If I should help you to practice. You could become dangerous." John exclaimed as he grabbed a towel and dried his face.

"You're already in danger since the day I married you." Roselyn shrugged as she launched a second strike. Few bubbles filled with water emerged from the water and began to float in the air surrounding John who as soon as he saw the bubbles narrowed his eyes waiting for them to explode.

The bubbles exploded wetting John's shirt making Roselyn laugh even louder.

"I understood your strategy." John said as he began to unbottom his shirt, "you wanted to see me shirtless but you were too shy to ask me." John shook his head, he removed his shirt and dropped it on the floor. He was sat down but his six-pack was still very visible and although Roselyn had seen him so many times she was still enchanted by such an appealing view.

She cleared her voice as she traveled her gaze back to the water in the bathtub and she played with the water by moving her hand in a slow controlled motion. As she lifted her hand the water was sagging in her hand's direction. It felt so relaxing and amazing to be able to control the water, but at the same time, the price she had to pay for such a huge gift was steep.

"You're so beautiful." John broke the silence making Roselyn smile at his compliment. How was he able to make his compliment sound so real?

"I promise you. We will have to be a family soon." He whispered right after, Roselyn flinched around as soon as she heard him to make sure she heard him right. When he smiled at her and nodded Roselyn held her breath for some instants, her heart skipped a breath to start racing.

"You truly think so?" Roselyn's voice peaked as she froze her hand to fully focus on John's voice.

"It's a promise. You have my word." John lifted his chin as if he was declaring his verdict to the realm and Roselyn smiled widely.

She didn't know why his promise was making her feel so much reassured like if his will would change the situation or manipulate the low probabilities they had. Yet somehow Roselyn felt like deep down his promise confirmed he wanted to have a son and a future with her but mostly then he would do anything in his power to make her happy.

That wasn't only a promise, but it was also a helping hand, an ally for her battle, and a glimmer of hope that the situation may not be as drastic as she thought since she knew John enough to have the certainty he would never promise something he couldn't accomplish.
