Chapter 683 Birthday Gift

Once the important part of the ball was over, Drayce whispered to Seren, "My Queen, come with me."

She looked at him to ask where but he simply held her hand and walked her away with him.

Just as they stepped out of the hall from the other exit instead of the main one, she whispered back, "Where are we going?"

He stopped and held her, "Hold on to me."

She did and they disappeared from there in a moment only to appear somewhere far and at an unknown place. Seren looked around and all she could see was they were somewhere high up on the mountain. Gentle breeze, beautiful grassy fields under her feet, starry sky which seemed so close because the full moon was looking so big. She had never seen it so closely.

In front, a water flowing down the cliff and at the base of that waterfall the moon reflected in the water. As she continued to look around, she noticed there was a beautiful cottage behind, having huge widows and beautiful white curtains moving along the wind, surrounded by beautiful flowers and greenery.

In the moonlight, everything looked beautiful and dreamy.

She turned to look at the man who simply let her observe everything and dive into the beauty of this place. Her bright eyes gave away what she was feeling.

"What is this place, Dray?" There was a wide smile on her veiled covered face.

"Did you like it?"

"Yes? It's beautiful. Where are we?"

"The place where we are going to spend your birthday night. Just the two of us and this beautiful place."

She could not be happier than this. A beautiful place, a night and just the two of them. "You did well."

"I am sure I did," he pulled out a small wooden box from his pocket. "This is for you."

She opened it and saw a beautiful red stone pendant in it, with the gold chain. "For me?" she looked at him, "It's pretty."

he was holding onto it for so many years. She knew how important his mother was to him and how precious anything related to her was for him.

"Twenty years ago when my mother left me, before leaving she gave it to me. She said I should give it to someone who is special to me. And you are that special person for me, Seren."

"Thank you so much for considering me so important, Dray."

She felt happy as well as emotional. it was something given to him by his mother and he was holding onto it for so many years. She knew how important his mother was to him and how precious anything related to her was for him.

"I should have given it to you earlier but I was waiting for the right time," he picked it from the box, "let me put it on you."

Seren allowed him to and then watched that beautiful radiant red stone pendant hanging in front of her chest. She held it in her fingers, caressed it as if trying to feel it.

He moved closer to her, his hand moved at the back of her waist, getting rid of any distance and he looked closely into her eyes, "Happy birthday, Seren."

"Thank you so much, Dray," she smiled under her veil, her hands resting on his chest, gently caressing it, showing her affection to him.

To think of it, it's been days since they had any intimate moments as there was always something going on but now they finally got the time alone, and everything was so perfect around, both could feel what they wanted.

Looking into the pair of those most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, Drayce's face moved even closer, only a thin layer of the veil covering her face was separating his lips from hers. She could feel his hot breath fanning against her cold skin, his body expecting an intimacy in return from her.

His hand caressed her cheek and that veil slowly slid down while Drayce had closed his eyes and captured her lips into his to which she responded in a kind.

She closed her eyes as well and savored that gentle kiss from her husband. Not just him but she realized how she had missed it and now craved it. It felt as if the time should stop at this moment and they should stay here, just like this forever. No one to disturb them and no one to take away this peace from them.

His hand moved at the back of her head, his long fingers entwining into her long hair, he took her into a passionate kiss, making that quiet place to fill with the soft moans of hers. Seren circled her hands around his neck and tiptoed to be able to kiss him while his other hand held her at the small of her back, supporting her to stand steady.

When they stopped all breathless, Drayce didn't open his eyes and he rested his forehead on hers. The fingers of his hand gently moved along her face as if trying to create an image in his mind of how she must be looking after this intense kiss.

His thumb touched her parted moist and soft lips as she gasped for air, his fingers moving along her flushed and hot cheek and slowly to her entire face. He had touched her face several times before but each time it felt different and was not enough.

Seren looked at him who had his brows knitted a little, trying to get her appearance in his mind. She felt good but at the same time sad for him and at his efforts that he had not seen her face but he was trying to create her image in his mind.

He never complained about anything and simply gave into her wishes.

She held his hand in hers and gently pecked on it. Drayce didn't open his eyes but he knew it was the time to put her veil back. But before he could, Seren hugged him and buried her face in the crook of his neck. Drayce opened his eyes and hugged her back. She was there without her veil but he could not see her.
