The Crown's Entrapment

Chapter 222 Good Answer



After everything was said and done, the sun was just about to set when Bartos and Jayra started their journey back home. This time, however, instead of taking their earlier route, the former took another path so that they could still stroll around the other parts of the Lock Heart territory that the latter hadn’t seen yet.

“Next to the Forbidden Forest is the Dead Sea. One is by the northeast of our pack, while a fourth of the Dead Sea and the rest of it extended towards the Silver Crescent pack before finally ending by the Element Forest,” Bartos explained.

“Right, the Moonlight Pack of His Majesty and the Silver Crescent Pack of Alpha Gilas both have an entrance to the Element Forest,” Jayra hummed, having studied the location of the Element Forest for more than enough time to know such a fact.

“Indeed,” Bartos nodded. “There are also barriers and soldiers protecting the boundaries to make sure that none from our pack could accidentally enter the forest and bring unnecessary complications to both realms.”

He then added, “You see, the Element Forest has many powerful creatures protecting it since it’s the only habitat that could give them life. It’s no wonder then that they wouldn’t let anyone just stay inside and bring harm to their lives.”

The conversation died down as they traveled at a slow pace, Bartos wanting Jayra to enjoy all the sights they were passing.

“Also, make sure you familiarize yourself with our territory, wife. I don’t want you getting lost in your own pack’s territory,” Bartos commented after a bit of a lull, leaning in closer to hug her tightly from behind. “That would just be embarrassing.”

After she had kissed him at the inn, she felt him relax a little. It was so nice, seeing how her annoyance could easily disappear just by hearing a few words of assurance from her mate in front of everyone.

She was so satisfied with how proud he was in stressing out his feelings for her to all his peers like that, that she must admit that she enjoyed how red and dark Dorin’s face got once it got out. And to add to that, Bartos’s face turned pale when she finished kissing him, and making him breathless in front of everyone was just the topping to her dessert.

‘Ah, I’m so satisfied with my husband,’ she inwardly squealed. ‘From now on, I’ll never think of the women he humped before! I’ll definitely make sure that I’ll be the only woman he’ll hump even if he ever grows tired of me!’

Bartos chuckled, and Jayra inwardly cursed since she forgot how he could read her thoughts out loud whenever she talked to herself inwardly like that.

“I won’t grow tired of you, wife so stop thinking like that,” Bartos chuckled as he reassured her. “I’ll hump no one else but you, so look forward to that…”

Jayra’s face turned deep red, a shade darker than an overripe tomato at the prospect of, well, getting f*ucked again. It was only a good thing that she was sitting in front of Bartos so that he wouldn’t see how embarrassed she currently was.

“Don’t feel shy, wife. It’s alright. I love your quirkiness like this…” Bartos added.

Right, she couldn’t even hide her emotions from him just yet.

“Can you teach me how to put a wall in between our bond as soon as we get home? For now, I’ll give you some leeway to enjoy poking inside my head like this. Just this once while we’re still traveling.”

Jayra snorted, making her husband laugh even more. She smiled, hearing his loud laugh.

‘Such music to my ears…’ she thought inwardly.

“Hmm, thank you,” Bartos teased. “And here I thought that only my moans and groans of pleasure sounded like that in your ears.”

Jayra shook her head. It looked like her husband was having a bit too much fun right now.

“I do love you growling in intense pleasure, husband. It’s the best music of all,” she chortled as she leaned closer and turned so she could brush her lips against his ever leaning closer face.

At her actions, Bartos’s body stiffened, and Jayra could feel the lust starting to cloud his emotions.

“Hmm… How about we have a stopover and have a quick exercise?” she teasingly murmured against his skin, purposely licking him to fish for a reaction. She was way too curious about how Bartos would react to her sudden bout of naughtiness.

Giggled, she then added, “It’s cold, you know? I could use some more warmth…”

Bartos cursed under his breath and Jayra felt him move the reigns of their horse to make it speed up.

[Where are we going in such a hurry?] she telepathically inquired, harboring a devious smile on her face despite her tone. She was really excited about what would happen next.

[To a bathhouse with hot water…] he promptly replied. [We have one inside our pack for public and recreational use, and it’s available during winter for those that want a dip in a hot spring. I also have a private chamber and tub in that bathhouse, and we’re almost there. I’ll keep you warm there, wife.]

Bartos sounded so focused and serious that it was making Jayra giggle in silence. Soon enough, they stopped at a rather particular place. The bathhouse was huge, and Jayra wondered if it was just a front for a brothel like in some of the other kingdoms she had been to.

[I know what you’re thinking, and you’re definitely wrong. There’s a separate area mainly for females beside the one for the males,] Bartos explained. [If one wanted to have some privacy, then they could use some of the private chambers for a particular price. I own one of the best chambers here, so we can have our privacy there.]

Walking inside, a bathkeeper immediately paid his respects to Bartos before he led them to his private bath chamber. It was a huge chamber, and there was a mini pool with milky blue water steaming in the bath. Once everything was settled, the bathkeeper left them on their lonesome, and Jayra could only shake her head as she watched her husband promptly strip off his clothes without so much as a warning.

Her eyes promptly went down, noticing that he was already throbbing hard for her touch. For some reason, there was still one question bothering her so much that she was unable to strip off her clothes as eagerly as him.

“Wife, do you want me to take your clothes off?”

She kept her silence. Jayra wondered if she would kill their momentum by asking the question that was bothering her. But against her better judgment, she still went with it anyway.

“Have you brought any other woman here before?”

“No!” Bartos quickly replied with an intense look into her eyes.

Hearing his answer, her blank expression quickly changed into one of seduction as she smiled. She then followed it up by stripping off her clothes in front of her husband in a seductive and sexy slow manner as she murmured, “Good answer. Now keep me warm and fill my ears with the best music in the world.”
