Having shifted to his wolf form, Gideon promptly arrived back in the castle in a flash. He was unable to join the rest of the royal family for dinner, but he was sure that Freya was still awake at that point in time. Reporting his arrival, the guards quickly handed him a cloak to cover himself once he shifted back into his human form. From there, he walked straight to his room to wash up and dress properly before going to visit Freya.
[We should eat first,] Eli complained even as he was excitedly making his way to Freya锟斤拷s bedchamber.
[Later, Eli,] Gideon shot the wolf down. [Let锟斤拷s see our mate first before she sleeps锟斤拷]
[It锟斤拷s not like she锟斤拷ll run away from you, but suit yourself,] Eli murmured. [Or you can simply eat her out instead. I wouldn锟斤拷t mind.]
Gideon chuckled and teased, [Wow, you锟斤拷re improving with your sense of humor.]
Eli simply grunted, and Gideon moved to tease his wolf some more. Unfortunately, any further attempts to do so was struck down by Eli锟斤拷s usual silent treatment. How infuriating锟斤拷
Walking through the silence, Gideon finally reached Freya锟斤拷s door. It would be improper if the servants would see him entering her door, so he tried communicating with Freya telepathically first to get her permission to enter.
[Milady, are you still awake?] he respectfully asked. [If so, do you think you can meet me for a while? I锟斤拷m currently outside your door.]
[Have you already eaten, milord?] Freya answered, making Gideon smile as he leaned on the wall.
[Not yet, milady,] Gideon answered. [I wanted to see you first before you went to sleep. I can always eat later.]
[I锟斤拷 How about this锟斤拷 I锟斤拷ll ask the servants to serve you dinner at the dining hall, and I锟斤拷ll accompany you there as you eat,] Freya offered. [Besides, I also have something to talk to you about.]
[Uhm锟斤拷 Can we talk inside my bedchamber instead?] Gideon asked his counteroffer. [I锟斤拷ll be eating my dinner there as well. The table in the dining hall is just too big for me to eat there alone锟斤拷]
There was a long pause after he took his shot. It was awkward and nervewracking, even though he knew full-well that she might just reject his proposal.
[She probably thinks you锟斤拷re planning something, what with you asking her to see you in your private chamber,] Eli snorted. [I bet you just don锟斤拷t only want to eat literal food right now.]
Slowly, Gideon锟斤拷s eyes widened as he realized that his words would indeed probably send a different signal to Freya, one that he truly didn锟斤拷t mean. He simply wanted some privacy, and he just didn锟斤拷t like having to do their talk in such a huge space like the dining hall.
[La锟斤拷锟絃ady Freya, I apologize,] he quickly stammered, running damage control as if his life depended on it. [If you锟斤拷re uncomfortable in answering, then we can simply do as you initially-]
[It锟斤拷s alright,] Freya cut him off. [I锟斤拷ll be in your chamber shortly.]
[See you then, milady锟斤拷] Gideon hummed, his prior anxiety replaced with excitement as he quickly made his way back to his bedchamber. He still had to make sure that it was clean and presentable enough for her, what with the implications of what he just said still running through his mind.
Even so, he could barely hide his excitement as he instructed the servants to go prepare food for him and Freya. Particularly, some snacks and wine for Freya so that she wouldn锟斤拷t feel too awkward while he ate in front of her. There were more than enough meals too, just in case Freya would also want to eat with him. His orders were promptly carried out, and as soon as the servants were done, he immediately dismissed them.
Seeing that the room was neat and orderly, Gideon once again gave himself one last look over. Making sure that he was properly suited, he fiddled with himself just to kill some time feeling like he was doing something.
Soon, however, there was a knock on his door, and Gideon excitedly moved to open it. He smiled brightly as he quickly swung the door open, letting Freya enter.
锟斤拷Sweety锟斤拷锟斤拷 he excitedly murmured, making Freya blush. He would锟斤拷ve loved to permanently call her that, but he was still balancing things out with her, making sure that she锟斤拷d be more amenable to being address like that whenever they were in a private setting.
Giving him a nod, Freya walked past him and quickly sat at the table. Gideon followed suit, sitting opposite to her on the round table inside his chamber.
锟斤拷Go on, eat first锟斤拷锟斤拷 Freya offered.
Taking her signal, Gideon started eating, hoping that Freya wouldn锟斤拷t feel too uncomfortable with the setting.
锟斤拷Have some snacks and wine too,锟斤拷 Gideon offered, to which Freya nodded as she accepted the cup of wine he poured for her.
锟斤拷You came back earlier than expected,锟斤拷 Freya started. 锟斤拷I thought you and the rest will have to stay there late, seeing as there were a lot of participants that registered for this tournament.锟斤拷
锟斤拷Oh, I just left early. Gilas offered to cover for me,锟斤拷 Gideon admitted. 锟斤拷I Just can锟斤拷t afford not to see you. I锟斤拷ve been too busy during the day for the past few days that I didn锟斤拷t get to have time with you. Also, I锟斤拷m glad that you锟斤拷re still not asleep.锟斤拷
Freya found herself flustered at his words. He just had this rougish grin on him, and she saw that he just couldn锟斤拷t help but keep staring at her.
Seeing her drink her wine in one gulp, Gideon quickly reminded her, 锟斤拷Careful, Sweety. I don锟斤拷t want you getting drunk on me.锟斤拷 He then added, 锟斤拷By the way, what is it you wanted to talk about?锟斤拷
锟斤拷Ah, right. It锟斤拷s about you inviting me to your manor,锟斤拷 Freya timidly said. 锟斤拷I mean, I锟斤拷ll be available whenever you are since the wedding锟斤拷s already finished.锟斤拷
Hearing her words, Gideon was so overjoyed that he moved his chair beside Freya and held her hands before kissing them. 锟斤拷Oh, that锟斤拷s great news,锟斤拷 he smiled. 锟斤拷My parents will be delighted to meet you again after so many years.锟斤拷
锟斤拷Are锟斤拷 Are they aware that we锟斤拷re mates?锟斤拷 Freya asked, trying her best to ignore the sensation of Gideon锟斤拷s warm lips touching her hand. It just felt so good that she found herself wondering how much more it would be like once Gideon kissed her all over her body.
She inwardly gulped at yet another perverted thought that passed her head.
[I think I might just not be normal!] she inwardly retorted, making her wolf Yal chuckle.
[You锟斤拷re perfectly normal. It锟斤拷s only natural for you to think like that about your mate,] Yal pointed out. [Don锟斤拷t hold back. Simply follow your heart and instincts and you锟斤拷ll be fine.]
锟斤拷Hmm, they锟斤拷re currently unaware yet, but I锟斤拷ll tell them about it as early as tomorrow,锟斤拷 Gideon nodded. 锟斤拷They锟斤拷ll be delighted to meet you, so how about we go to our manor as early as the next day? There won锟斤拷t be anything scheduled for the tournament the next day so we can travel by then. And is it okay if we traveled in our wolf forms so that we can there arrive early?锟斤拷
Freya could only nod with a smile, her lack of words doing little to muddle her agreement. 锟斤拷Please continue with your eating for now,锟斤拷 she found herself saying, feeling as if she needed some more space away from Gideon. She was getting afraid of being aggressive and pulling him in at that instant for another kiss. That would be unladylike, especially if she wanted to do that more often.
锟斤拷Right, I should focus on the food in front of me,锟斤拷 Gideon unknowingly voiced out. 锟斤拷My mind锟斤拷s already wandering around eating you instead锟斤拷锟斤拷
锟斤拷Huh?锟斤拷 Freya breathed out.
Gideon winked at her and directly said, 锟斤拷It锟斤拷s getting hard to control myself around you, but it锟斤拷s still manageable since I know I need to be patient. I just wanted to eat you right now so badly, but don锟斤拷t worry锟斤拷 I锟斤拷ll bear with it.锟斤拷
[Him being like this just doesn锟斤拷t help! This brute doesn锟斤拷t he know that he锟斤拷s only making me more锟斤拷]
[Horny? Aroused?] Yal chuckled. While she was unable to blurt out those words, her wolf was more than happy to do so for her.
[Quiet, Yal! I锟斤拷m a princess, so let锟斤拷s at least act properly as one!] she hissed, with Yal simply laughing at her.
