May Death Do Us Part

152 Chapter 152 : May death do us part

Melissa walked out of the bathroom feeling a little weak, she had just literally thrown up everything she had eaten that night and now her stomach was completely empty.

The maid, Carol, who had escorted her back to her room stood there smiling at her, “how are you feeling now my lady?” She asked the beautiful redhead.

“I’ll be fine,” Melissa responded as she made her way to the bed.

“Before you rest your highness, I prepared your bath in the bathing room,” Carol spoke as she inched closer to her, “you should wash up. I took the liberty of adding some lavender and peppermint oil to the water to help with your nausea. Afterwards I’ll make you some ginger tea which you will take every morning and evening to avoid any more vomiting your highness. We can’t have you lose weight.”

Melissa looked up at the maid skeptically, “Every morning and evening? What makes you think I’ll be sick again every morning and evening?”

The maid pursed her lips to hide her smile, did her highness really not know she was pregnant? Oh wow, it would be such a joyous day when her and the king discovered it. Carol had wondered why they had not made the announcement at the ball, it turns out the couple didn’t know they were expecting yet. Well Carol wouldn’t ruin the surprise, she would let them find out this piece of amazing news on their own.

“Don’t mind it my lady,” Maria responded as she began to help her undress, “it’s just a precaution that’s all.”

After she had been stripped down, Melissa walked to the bathing chambers where a hot bath was waiting for her. The sunken tub filled with steaming water had little flower petals floating in it and the steam filled the air with a refreshing smell of lavender and peppermint. Carol was right, this scent took her nausea right away.

When Melissa heard the main doors of the chamber swing open she quickly jumped in the tub and immersed herself in the water to cover her nakedness. She heard heavy footsteps enter the room and an all too familiar deep voice speaking to carol.

.....

“Where is my queen?”

“She’s soaking in the tub your majesty,” Carol responded, “I was just about to-”

“Give the towels to me, I’ll take over from here.”

There were a few minutes of silence and Melissa wondered what could have been going on.

“Give the towels to me maid I will bathe my wife!” Elric demanded.

“Of course your majesty,” Carol responded, “please do be gentle with her, she is very delicate right now. I will bring in some tea for her later, her highness requested it.”

“Thank you now leave.”

The door to the chambers opened and closed and Melissa’s heart began to pound as she listened to Elric fidgeting with his clothing. She knew he was undressing and was about to come join her in her bath. She was so uncomfortable being naked around him but it seemed her uncomfortability was his driving force.

The curtains to the bathing room raked open and Melissa sunk deeper into the water. A smile painted Elric’s devilishly handsome face as his honey brown eyes bored into Melissa’s.

“My beautiful queen,” he spoke quietly. He put the towels aside and slowly descended into the sunken stone bath. “How are you feeling?”

“Better,” Melissa mumbled. She watched as the naked man settled in the water with his elbows leaned on the edge of the large bath.

“Come here,” he whispered softly, “let me tend to you.”

The words made Melissa feel sick again. Was this really what she’d have to endure for god knows how long? Was she really up for it?

“If you don’t come here Lissa,” Elric spoke amorously, “I will follow you there. And if that happens I won’t be gentle on you.”

The woman obliged and slowly made her way through the water to where the silver haired king was sitting, and as soon as she was in range he grabbed her and placed her on top of him.

“Elric!..” her arms shot up to hide her breasts that were directly in front of the man’s face, but Elric was quick. He grabbed them, kissed her fingers and placed her hands back on her sides.

When his eyes went to her breasts she gasped. “They’ve grown bigger,” he spoke with a sly smile. He brought his slightly callused finger and trailed it on the lower swells making her shudder.

Melissa squeezed her eyes shut and braced herself for what was to come, this was it. Elric was probably going to suckled on her breasts and then proceed to making love to her. Tears stung her shut eyes as he waited.

Suddenly some water was poured atop her head and it made Melissa shoot her eyes open and gasp. Elric put down the bathing ladle and proceeded to getting a wash cloth which he lathered with oils and some soap and began scrubbing Melissa’s back.

She looked at the man wide eyed. Was he actually just going to bathe her and nothing else? Elric really confused her these days, one minute he would act like he was about to pounce on her like a wild animal and the next he would mellow down and act not the least bit sexually attracted to her.

“Is something wrong?” Elric asked the woman who had been staring blankly at him.

“No nothing!” She responded hastily and looked away.

The man smiled and continued washing her. “It’s alright to look, I am your husband after all.”

Melissa nodded and reached out for the other wash cloth but Elric stopped her, “you’re not well today. I will bathe myself after I’m done cleaning you up.”

Melissa nodded and sat there awkwardly as he proceeded to cleaning her EVERYWHERE, lingering more on her breasts, buttocks and womanhood, but not in a perverse way, more like he was looking for something.

When he was finished he gave her a kiss on the corner of her mouth and told her to grab a towel and wait for him in the room, which she did. When she was out of sight, the silver haired king leaned back and sighed heavily.

“What is going on?”

The entire time he was bathing her he was trying hard to get himself turned on by taking his time on her intimate parts but nothing was happening. Even after having her in top of him for a good number of minutes he was still as limp as slug, this was not good, how was he going to keep Melissa for himself when he couldn’t even get it up in front of her anymore.

“I’ll just have to try again,” he muttered as he washed himself.

*

Melissa walked to one of the windows of their chambers that had an amazing view of the garden below and looked down at it. At one point she loved this window seat. At one point she could actually picture herself building a life with Elric, but now she felt nothing but complete lonliness. Because of this stupid curse she couldn’t be with the man she loved and was stuck with a man who was obsessed with her. What was the point of all of this? She couldn’t even end her own life because she would just end up reborn again. What a pain.

The woman opened the window and dropped her towel just as Elric made his way into the room.

“What’s going on my queen?” He asked in a teasing tone, “are you planing on jumping out the window?”

Melissa didn’t answer, she knew he was teasing her because even if she did that would do her no good.

Little did she know that Elric was actually a little terrified that she might jump. He had been having this poking feeling that their rebirth curse had lifted, and if that was the case, then if Melissa jumped, he would lose her forever, he couldn’t bare that.

“Close the window and come here,” Elric spoke calmly, “do you want to catch a cold standing naked in front of a window like that?”

When Melissa didn’t answer he took a step closer, “my wife come here, if something is troubling you, you can always tell me.” He walked over to her, scooped her up in his arms and made her sit on the bed. “Let me get you some warm clothes.”

“I’m sick and tired of this miserable existence, I just want to end it all. I just want to die, and to stay dead.” Melissa muttered.

Elric inched closer to Melissa and tilted her chin up. “But if you die, who will I spend the rest of eternity with?”

Melissa swatted his hand away and got off the bed, the chamber was cold and dark after the fire had died out. She felt the chilling breeze from the window strike her bare skin, sending a wave of shivers down her spine.

It was highly likely that she would catch a cold if she kept this up, but she didn’t care, disease didn’t scare her anymore.

“You’re just going to have to make due without me your majesty,” She responded.

King Elric got up and walked over to the beautiful red head. He wrapped his arms around her, feeling the warmth from her body heat up his bare skin.

“Isn’t such a life worthwhile when you live it with the person you love?” The man asked

“Love is pointless if it has no end.” Melissa responded coldly. “Even wedding vows end with ’till death do us part.'”
