Ch-207

Cyrus didn't expect that she would feel like that when she was with him. He thought she didn't like him. He could hear all her thoughts in her brain but he never heard these thoughts from her. A smile formed on his face as he gazed at her. He wanted to caress her hair but he was afraid that he would wake Reggie if he moved his hand slightly. He resisted his urge.

"So… this is the reason that you didn't accept me?" he asked.

Cyrus felt his heart beating faster when he asked this question. He doesn't know what kind of answer he was expecting but he was expecting a positive answer. He waited for her answer as he gazed at her deeply but she wasn't looking at him. She tried to look everywhere but him.

"I thought you would leave me if I was harsh and cruel. But when you left today… I couldn't take it. I felt hurt and realized I could be happy with you only. We can get married today itself if you have energy," she said, shocking him. Cyrus didn't expect that answer from her. He was really happy! Dammit! She was so beautiful when she was shy. The way she tucked her hair behind her ear shyly and the way she fiddled her fingers as she felt tense. This felt so… tempting. He wondered how it would be to be scratched by her slender fingers on his back as he throbbed inside her. He wondered how it would feel if he whispered in her ears about the dirty things he wanted to do. Cyrus wanted to see her blushing face as he looked at her slightly blushing face. If not for Reggie's presence he would make her squirt using his magical fingers. Ahh… the scenes of him using her pussy with his fingers flashed in his mind. He felt his heart beating faster than usual. He felt an unknown heat start burning inside his stomach as he looked at her. This woman was his heart stealer! Ahh….

He realized she likes him to the point that she feels she wasn't good enough for me. [Your presence was enough for me in this life, My Love.] he said to himself as he looked at her with eyes filled with love and adoration. He badly wants the loose strands of her hair behind her ear but he held the urge back again for the second time.

And his smile grew bigger when she said she could even get married today. He badly wanted to marry her and claim her as his. Cyrus wished to take her away from this world and feel the world where there was nothing to be bothered about and feel tense. His woman deserves the best. And he would strive to give the best. But he knew he could not leave the Basilisk empire and couldn't walk away. He sighed at the thought of the empire and other things. Those were such complicated things.

"I am ready!" he said. He said those words almost immediately. If they were in their realm he would have married her in the open land in the form of "Gandharva Vivaham" [1].

[ Gandhrava Vivaham: It's a kind of marriage where two people marry each other without a nuptial chain or any wedding ring or friends or relatives. There would be only the Bride and Groom and their marriage was witnessed by the five natural elements. The groom and Bride will take an oath that they will take each other as their wife or husband till the end of their life.]

But he couldn't do that due to the fact of Benjamin's. Even though they knew he was a king, he would be castrated for stealing their daughter. Mainly the king of Kshatra is the main obstacle. He would directly kill him. His chain of thoughts was disturbed by her words again. He opened his eyes widely in shock as he looked at her. He wondered again what's wrong with the word but. He wanted to know whether she wanted to plan something to trap him again. But he was proved wrong.

"But…" she said. She didn't know the inner battle of the Cyrus that her one word has caused to him. As a professional overthinker, Cyrus thought he would be dumped again. So he repeated the same word to her.

"But?" he repeated.

"I have a condition," she said, making him frown. He was not surprised to hear that from her. He already expected that from her. But he wondered what she was going to say. He held his breath and placed his hand on his chest as he thought.

"What is it?" he asked her. He was curious to know what kind of conditions she would keep. He knew a famous king and Queen were forced to marry each other for the sake of their kingdoms. The Queen wasn't interested in marrying the king, so she asked three outrageous things. She also said she would marry him only if he agrees to this. Her wishes were so outrageous. But still, he agreed as he found her amusing. He wondered if she was going to ask something like that.

"You shouldn't listen to my thoughts," she said as she tried to look into his gaze but turned away, not being able to bear to meet his eyes. Her face turned red as she looked somewhere.

For… Cyrus was a huge shock to him. Dammit! She really rocked it this time! But can he survive without hearing her thoughts? He loved hearing her thoughts.

"I know you would hear my thoughts. But I don't want you to hear my thoughts. Not because I am having some secrets. But now… I want to keep my thoughts for myself. And I know you have blocked my ability to listen to other's thoughts. There are many times where I wanted to hear the thoughts of others. But the thoughts of enemies. But again… I am glad I didn't hear them as I felt disgusted. Again… I wanted to know their thoughts about my next move. You see I am so confused. So… I want to keep my thoughts to myself. Promise me you will not listen to my thoughts," she said.

Cyrus wanted to reject her thoughts but again he wanted to grant her wish. This was the first thing she asked him for the first time. He weighed the pros and cons. And the thought of getting married to her felt good. Hearing her thoughts felt nothing in front of marrying her. A small sacrifice was nothing, right?

"Fine!" he said exasperatedly.

"Thank you," she yelled, forgetting that Reggie woke up due to her noise. She bent down and pecked her lips slightly.

Reggie woke up from the time Esther woke up. But he was too lazy to open his eyes. So, he closed his eyes and tried to sleep. Reggie heard Esther's words and the way she tried to mend the ways. He finally squealed in joy when he heard her saying she would marry him even at this second. But he was shocked when she said the word condition. He opened his eyes and noticed both his father and mother were in deep thought. His face palmed and thought wooing his mother was the greatest struggle in his father's life. But again a smile bloomed when he heard her words of not hearing her thoughts. This thing was really annoying even Reggie felt annoyed when his father used to say his thoughts to him. [Mom, you could have included me in that condition. Even I want my privacy to have my thoughts.] the poor little guy sobbed internally. At that second, Cyrus's eyes met with his. He received a harsh glare from his father. Immediately Reggie closed his eyes, drifting into his 'sleep' mode.

[You better don't think of having those thoughts!] Reggie heard his father's words in his brain.

Dammit! He can't even think now! The misery he was suffering was not something others could bear. Boo hoo… he cried in the corner of his brain.

[Shut your stupid thoughts!] He heard his father's words again.

[I am sleeping!] he replied and drifted into 'sleep'.

Reggie heard his mother trying to convince his father. He wanted to help her but he himself was in a helpless situation. He was shocked to death when his father agreed to her request. If he could grant her that wish then why can't he grant him that wish! He is also a human who needs privacy!

[Shut up and sleep! Privacy, grimacy! Nothing!] Cyrus's voice sounded in his brain.

[Boohoo… you are bullying!] he complained in his brain.

At that time, both of them heard Esther's squeal. Before they could register what was going to happen Esther's lips landed on Cyrus's lips. Cyrus didn't expect her to do this.

The moment he realized her lips were on his lips, his first thought was to close Reggie's eyes with his palm.
