The Crown's Entrapment-Chapter 497 It Felt So Real*

With the day finally ending, Xenia found herself finally making her way to her shared room with Darius for a bit of rest. With her husband walking beside her, her lecherous mind couldn't help but go back to all of the talk regarding heirs and other possible ways to ensure succession. After all, heirs meant getting pregnant, and to get pregnant meant going at it with Darius till she couldn't stand up straight anymore. Sure, that last part was a hyperbole, but Xenia wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than her body screaming at her in bliss and satisfaction.

'And I really kind of want to do it with him at the moment,' she inwardly thought to herself. 'It's been a while… even though I'm pretty sure we just did it just a few days ago.' 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

The concept of time was rather abstract to her these past few days. It all seemed to blur together, culminating in a grand extravaganza where she was finally made queen. With everything that had happened, it just felt appropriate to celebrate the occasion with a bit of passionate lovemaking. Unfortunately for her…

"We'll be going to sleep as soon as we reach our beds," Darius insisted as they walked side by side towards their bedchamber. "As much as it pains me to say it, we both need all the rest we can get. This is the biggest day that Cordon will ever witness for years, and we can't afford to ruin it by looking haggard for our own celebration."

Xenia pouted even as she nodded. While a part of her wished to do a bit more with her husband, she also knew that she really shouldn't push herself too hard before her own coronation. After all, she understood that it would be a bad look for her to be late to her own coronation, let alone look like she had just been freshly hammered just before she took the crown. No, she had to look her best, and there was no way that her making love with Darius would help with it…

Still, that didn't mean she couldn't try asking for it.

"But you told me earlier that you were planning on making up the lost time you didn't spend with me," Xenia innocently asked just as they reached the door to their room. "When will it happen then?"

Darius paused for a brief second before he gently opened the door. Stoically, he moved forward, remaining silent as he mulled over her words.

"Darius?"

"Trust me, my love, I'm doing all that I can to restrain myself right now," he suddenly replied as he turned to look at her. "I would like nothing more than to ravish you right now and make up for all the lost time I've spent away from you… To do everything that I've told you I'd do to you once we had some time for one another…" 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

"Then why not do it now?" she cheekily asked.

"You know exactly why, Xen," Darius frowned. "We both know you won't risk your image on your coronation. It would set a bad precedent for your rule alongside me, while also damaging my own image by showing the world that we have no self-control."

The Queen-apparent pouted before letting out a sigh. Clearly, there was no going around this. So instead of trying to coyly argue for a bit of fun time, she went ahead and cleaned herself up. To her dismay, Darius let her do so alone, even waiting for her to be finished before going into the washroom and cleaning himself up as well. After all was said and done, they were both in their sleepwear with nothing even happening between the two of them.

Slumping onto the bed, Xenia shrugged as she sighed, "Well, at least I tried…"

"Don't worry. We'll get all the time in the world after tomorrow's events," Darius reassured her as he took his place beside her. "From there, we can go ahead with making an heir or two."

Xenia blushed even as she laid her head down. Her arousal was starting to build just from the way he spoke about them making heirs, and truth be told, she was getting annoyed that her husband was even making her feel like this when he was the one that told her that they shouldn't do anything too exhausting for the night.

"This isn't fair… You're making me feel hot," she pouted.

"O-Oh… I'm sorry…" Darius quickly apologized. "Let's just rest then. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow…"

"If you say so…"

Getting the last word in, Xenia let out one last grumble as she let herself fall asleep. Forgetting all about the fact that she was slightly wet from imagining her husband doing everything he could to impregnate her, she instead focused more on the fatigue that had built up throughout the day. She really did need some sleep, no matter how much her mind wanted her to stay awake.

'Well, it's only one more day of waiting,' she jokingly chuckled to herself. 'One more day of waiting isn't going to hurt me… I can control myself just fine…'

In the end, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, her loving and frustratingly correct husband sleeping soundly beside her.

***

Xenia dreamed. She didn't know what or how, but she dreamed nonetheless. And apparently, her prior arousal decided to show itself through her own unconscious imagination instead of in the real world as she saw herself utterly naked while lounging in a bath.

"Huh… This is really vivid," she wondered to herself as she looked around. "I know I'm dreaming, but I'm not waking up yet somehow…"

As if the world heard her, the vision rapidly changed just from her turning her head somewhere else. All of a sudden, she was back in her bed, still naked as the day she was born.

Only this time, Darius was on top of her just as naked as she was.

"O-Oh my…"

She couldn't help but gulp as her eyes immediately fixated on his massive shaft. Sure, it was just a dream, but perhaps she could enjoy herself this way.

"P-Please… Can you- NGGH!"

But before she could even direct the dream Darius to her bidding, the man had already impaled her with his thick shaft. She squealed in delight, her body quickly taking in his length as she gasped and moaned.

"T-This feels great, my love."

Xenia screamed out her husband's name, her nerves lighting up like the night sky as the pleasure of being penetrated filled her up. His hands roamed her body, and the dream was as good as she had wanted it to be. She cried, she clawed at her husband... It felt so real. A bit too real, even…

And that was when the dream collapsed.

***

Before she could even question what was happening, her eyes opened wide. This time, it was back in the real world. She was awake… and she still felt something massive moving inside of her.

"Darius?"
