Chapter ninety eight: Stranger things to come
"If I am not mistaken, they are about eight" Alexander answered as he picked up the tray containing the plates and dropped it on the table.
When he turned around again, Jamie had a look on her face. Her brows were pulled together and her eyes were beginning to narrow just a little bit.
"I thought you don't mind that I have mistresses?" Alexander asked her.
Jamie wondered about the question in her mind. It wasn't very difficult to come to a conclusion. It was like trying to convince a toddler that she didn't want a doll. Of course, she hated that he had mistresses.
"Apparently, I mind that you have them. But I guess, Kings are allowed mistresses and Queens can take lovers. I mean...I can take a lover if I wanted to, can't I?"
Alexander felt the urge to clench his fist but he fought it until he won. There was no fist clenching to the outrageous reminder of his woman with another man.
Jamie watched the man in front of her, he was looking at her but it felt like his gaze wasn't on her but he was looking through her like she was a transparent object. It didn't matter. Derkal permits Queens to take lovers.
"I can take a lover, can't I?"
"Maybe you should" Alexander surprised even himself by saying "It is not like I can stop you from taking one"
Jamie was even more surprised by his answer. She had expected him to go into a fit of rage and threaten the imaginary lover but Alexander had done the opposite.
And now, Jamie looked like she had been run over by a cart.
"That is the answer you want, right?" Alexander questioned her. He sat on the bed and touched her cheeks.
"Yes" Jamie lied through her teeth. She lowered her gaze so he wouldn't read the look in her eyes. Alexander didn't utter a word either. He simply waited for the truth.
"No. I don't want a lover"
"Good. I don't want you to have one. It will drive me crazy" Alexander touched her cheek again, this time slower.
"I don't want you to have mistresses, Alexander. I know it will be difficult and you are King and you need..."
"Okay"
"You need release and I am not offering...."
"I said okay, Janessa"
"I am not offering much to...wait what? You will do that...for me?"
Alexander laid-back on the bed and he placed both his hands under his head like a pillow.
"Yes. All you have to do is ask. I would do anything for you, Monisha"
"So, no more mistresses?" Jamie wanted to be sure she heard him correctly.
"Yes"
Jamie forgot she was still naked and she let the blanket drop as she planted a kiss on his lips.
"Hmm... Maybe I shouldn't be granting your wishes everyday if you are going to give me one flimsy kiss, little dove" Alexander feigned annoyance but his eyes twinkled with delight.
Jamie kissed him again, this time around it was slowly and passionately. Taking her time to show him the pleasure two mouth can elicit. When she finally pulled away, Alexander was looking at her funny.
"What?" She asked him.
"Nothing" Alexander answered and wavered it off with a smile.
"Tell me" she touched his face.
"I mean...you are incredible and so... beautiful. It's simply breathtaking at times" Alexander answered.
"Your highness, is this your attempt to make me blush?" Jamie questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"It is true. Do you want to sleep in my room every night from now onward?" Alexander asked her out of nowhere. Jamie was taken aback. She hadn't expected the question.
"Hmm...Okay, I guess I might enjoy that too. The West is a cold place and two bodies will generate body heat and keep each other warm" Jamie talked while Alexander had a nauseating look on his face. His wife agreed to sleep in his chambers so he would be a... blanket?
"So, the only reason you want to sleep in my room is to keep...warm? And not because, you are attracted to me" Alexander asked her with the look on her face.
Alexander saw her fight for the answer inside her. He understood her delimma. It was definitely not going to be easy admitting she was attracted to a man that kidnapped her. Alexander was supposed to be the enemy and now, the lines were beginning to blur. And it was difficult for her to wrap her head around it. He wanted to take away the confusion and the pain.
"It's Okay" He whispered to her.
"It's Okay for what?" She asked him.
"It's Okay to not hate me even when you don't want to" Alexander pulled her hand and she lay on his chest. He could feel the warmth emanating from her body. They lay there for a while.
"Can I be the one to tell Amelia, she can't see my husband anymore?" Jamie asked him after a while.
"No. That would be disrespectful. Amelia has been good to me and she has served my needs all these years, she deserves better. You will stay away from her. I will take care of everything" Alexander was serious. He refuse to minimize Amelia to make Jamie feel better.
"Do it soon, Alexander" Jamie wasn't happy he was taking the side of another woman even though it was noble.
"I will"
"Can I fire Semeen now since we are letting go of your mistresses?" Jamie asked him.
"No. Semeen...is not like that. I didn't sleep with her. She is like my little sibling I have to protect. I don't have that sort of feelings for her" Alexander answered truthfully.
"But she is important to you?" Jamie queried.
"Yes. Yes, she is. I should go" even though Alexander made that statement, he didn't make any effort to stand up.
"Don't...not yet. Let's pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist.. I am not your kidnapped bride and you are not my hostage taker. I am just Jamie and you are Alexander"
