The Crown's Entrapment-Chapter 498 Asleep**

"This won't do at all..."

Darius couldn't help but groan as he tossed and turned in his non-sleep. He had woken up far earlier than he expected, midnight barely having passed as the moon still hung high above the sky. Beside him, Xenia was fast asleep. Her soft breaths filled the air beside him, her gentle voice soothing to his ears even if she didn't mean for it to happen.

And unfortunately for him, it also sounded far too tempting for him to ignore. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

Ever since he woke up, his throbbing member just wouldn't calm down no matter how much he tried to quell his nerves. No matter how hard he tried to get back to sleep, his want and need for Xen's body just overrode any and all exhaustion he could use to get some rest. He was pent up, and the woman of her affection was lying beside him sleeping peacefully.

'I really shouldn't...' he grumbled in his thoughts. 'But what else am I supposed to do in the meantime?'

Having talked himself into doing it, Darius sat up on their bed, his body shifting in a way where he was looking over Xen's beautiful face. Against his better judgment, he let his eyes drink in her all of her splendor and beauty. Her lips parted ever so slightly with each breath, glistening and shining against the moonlight as if inviting him to partake in them.

Darius bit his lip as he found himself agonizing over his own desires. Here she was, sleeping peacefully after he had just told her that they shouldn't make love to get some rest, and yet here he was about to take advantage of her in her sleep? It was madness.

[But madness is something to be celebrated sometimes, right?] Zeus suddenly chimed in. [I'm sure she'll appreciate it.] f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

Darius blinked at his wolf's words. Was Zeus really going to encourage this kind of behavior from him?

[Yes. Yes, I will,] his wolf scoffed. [We both need it, and Xen needs it just as badly as we do with how affectionate she acted before we slept. We might as well get it over with...]

The king mulled over his wolf's needling, all the while, his eyes kept on taking in everything that his wife had to offer for him. Her chest rhythmically rose and fell with each breath, her night clothes doing little to hide her curvaceous form from his feasting eyes. The sheets were in the way of his prize, but they too were gently folded over to reveal Xen's milky white thighs. And her core... It... It smelled like her. In fact...

'What is this? I can smell her arousal...'

His cock throbbed even harder the more he zoned in on the distinct smell of his wife's pheromones. Looking down, he finally noticed why that was the case.

"She's wet..." Darius noted, his tongue unconsciously wetting his lips as he honed in on his sights. "She's having a wet dream..."

All of a sudden, everything seemed to line up perfectly with what was happening that early morning. He was rock hard, unable to sleep with the thoughts of his naked wife running through his mind. Meanwhile, Xen was having a wet dream, even going so much as to wet her night clothes even as she slept.

[See? She's in need of relief just as much as you do,] Zeus pointed out. [I told you it was a mistake to just go to sleep earlier.]

Darius grumbled under his breath. It would seem that his wolf was right in his assessment. Even before they went to sleep, Zeus had fought for them to make love before the night was over. The tension between them was palpable, and Darius insisted that they slept instead just so that they'd be presentable for tomorrow's coronation.

'At this rate, we'd probably be unfit for the eyes of the public even if we had a full night's sleep,' Darius inwardly grimaced.

[And here you were talking about self-control,] Zeus mockingly scoffed. [You two are insatiable.]

Darius conceded to his wolf's point. [I know that already. Don't rub it in.]

[Hey, I'm simply stating the truth,] Zeus chuckled. [Now, are you going to rectify this mistake you've made?]

He blinked at the way his wolf sounded. It was like he was being asked to make love to Xen while she was asleep... Wasn't that kind of immoral?

[There's no way that I'm going to make love with her while she slept,] Darius insisted. [She's asleep, and it would be rude to just wake her up with my cock in her slit.]

[I didn't even say anything of the sort. You thought that up yourself,] Zeus quickly retorted. [And that's actually not a bad idea. She'll love it, I'm sure.]

And just like that, the seed of an idea planted itself in his head. Darius's gaze now held a tone of want in it, his throbbing member starting to spew out a bit of precum as he slowly tilted his head down to Xen's sleeping face.

'This is a bad idea...' he inwardly mumbled

Nevertheless, Darius just couldn't help himself anymore as he brushed his lips against hers. Her light breaths mixed against his own needy ones, the kiss ending up being both deep and shallow as he kept their lips locked against one another. All the while, his hands began gently running up and down her sleeping body, her shivers being the only sign of confirmation he could get from her as brushed over her stiff peaks.

"Mhmm... Darius...."

His eyes widened just as he ran his hands down to her wet core. Had she woken up?

Looking down, a wave of relief washed over him as he saw Xen's closed eyes trembling, but still remaining locked in sleep. He could only guess that she was also dreaming about him, and based on how wet she was to the touch, her arousal was growing higher and higher by the second.

"Xen..."

With a needy breath, Darius let his massive cock free. No longer having the patience to restrain himself, he gently pulled down his wife's panties before slowly inserting himself into her tight hole. She was already slick from her wet dream, and his added ministrations only made her wetter for her to receive him.

"Nghh..."

Xenia groaned, and Darius couldn't help but begin pumping his hips as he savored her body. She was still asleep, but it almost felt like her body was responding on its own as she raised her hips to meet up with his. With each gentle thrust, the urge to fully take her only increased, but the fact that she was still asleep made him hesitate to do such a thing. Instead, he took his time, agonizingly slowing himself down as each slow pump only made his shaft throb even harder at how hot and slick her core was-

"Darius?"

He froze mid-thrust. Looking down, Xen was awake, a confused and flushed expression growing on her face as her eyes remained locked on the place where they were currently joined.
