Chapter 37
Something within her began to stir, a tightness within her stomach getting wound tighter as the area between her thighs felt really weird.
Following her instincts, Xenia did what her body wanted her to do, unknowingly brushing herself against Darius as her hips moved with reckless abandon. Beneath her, she brushed against something hard and hot, something that seemed to poke at her right from his crotch.
“Ahhh…” she moaned in ecstasy, the overwhelming sensation taking away the pain of the heat building up inside her body. She kept on moaning, each one getting rougher and hoarser as she continued brushing herself against him.
“I…” she weakly whispered under her breath.
“That’s okay, Xen. Relieve your pain,” Darius encouraged, almost with a gasp that Xenia could barely hear.
As if hearing his words, she threw her arms around his neck desperately, acting as if she was drowning and he was the only thing keeping her afloat. She then felt him grasp her hips as he met her rhythm against him.
She was moving her body back and forth, grinding against him faster as her heart pounded with desperate passion.
One second turned into minutes as she melted in his hot kisses, Xenia let herself get lost in the wilderness as she freed herself from pain in exchange for feeling the great pleasure that she was having at that moment.
Again, she could hardly find the time to be embarrassed about what was happening. It was nothing but a mere hallucination to her, the poison inside her body still muddling her senses.
The world became a blur as she moaned at the unexplainable sensations building up inside her, the warmth pooling within her coiling tighter with each movement. If that wasn’t enough, Darius then passionately kissed her, taking all of her moans into his humming throat.
Xenia groaned, her hands flying to the back of his head as she gripped his hair and pulled him in deeper. Their nether regions rubbed against each other as they rutted, Xenia felt herself lose control as she incessantly rubbed herself on his erection.
“F*ck,” King Darius hissed as she continuously ground against him. His hand gripped her waist tightly as he drowned himself inside her mouth, probing her as deep as he could with his tongue.
Despite it all, it wasn’t enough for Xenia. Deeper, she wanted him deeper, and so badly to quench the burning desire consuming her entire body.
She let out another moan. Her body shuddered with intense pleasure. The heat coiling within her gut was about to explode.
“More… Just a little more,” she desperately gasped into Darius’s mouth.
“Xen… ngh…” he moaned against her ear, his warm breath hitting her earlobe.
Xenia sobbed as the tension within her threatened to burst. She was really close, and she almost cried as she began to feel her first ever climax happening.
The last thing she remembered was a blinding light, and the sweetest sensation washing over her before she completely blacked out.

Xenia woke up to the strong rays of the sun warming her skin. Slowly opening her eyes, she quickly closed them as the blinding light of the sun threatened to blind her.
Waiting for a few more seconds, Xenia waited for the light to dim. And as soon as she noticed the reduced brightness, she finally let herself open her eyes again… only for her to hold her breath as she took in the sight in front of her.
Darius was hovering over her, blocking the sun from her view as she squinted.
Looking up, she couldn’t see him due to the blinding sun casting a bright halo behind him. But she was sure of who it was as his familiar warmth reached her senses, wrapping her in that comforting musk of his. It was a faint scent, one with a mellow undertone and floral fragrance that he always seemed to carry with him… Both powerful, and elusive…
“Finally awake, huh? How are you feeling?”
His familiar voice reached her, snapping Xenia back to reality before she went any deeper into describing the finer details she distinctively remembered of him. Pushing herself up from the ground to sit up, she frowned as she noticed that she had slept on Darius’s cape on the ground.
‘What happened?’ she sluggishly thought as she tried to recall the details regarding last night’s incidents. “Ngghh” she grunted, a sudden sharp pain shot through her head.
‘How come I can’t remember what happened?’ Xenia quietly pondered through the pain. ‘Did I just pass out?’
“Drink this to freshen up,” Darius instructed her, holding out something in his hand.
Giving him a look, she quickly reached out to grab the coconut shell as she realized how parched she was. She gulped down the liquid and appreciated its rich flavor.
“What happened?” she murmured, still trying her best to recollect what little she could remember from her memories of last night before she passed out.
Darius only let out a loud sigh and gently said, “No need to force yourself to think about it since you wouldn’t be able to remember anything anyway. The type of poison you ingested in your body was just that potent, Xen. Just make sure to be careful in what you eat in the future! You might not get out unscathed if you’re not with me the next time you commit this mistake.”
Staring at him, Xenia could swear that he was gritting his teeth at her as the dim expression etched on his face seemed to grow even dimmer. She wondered if she did something last night that somehow displeased him. And since she couldn’t remember anything, she had no choice but to ask him directly.
“What was that fruit anyway?” Xenia mumbled as she continued to drink. “It looked like a simple berry to me. Also, how come I can’t remember anything after we settled down to rest here?”
