Chapter 330 - Differential Perspectives
~~~(Time: 7:14 PM)~~~
Jackson has been so busy managing the new land and dividing it up among the nobles that he\'s hardly in bed early anymore... This giant bed feels so empty without him here... "You\'re thinking about me, aren\'t you?" My heart leaps in fear at the sudden voice. The silence is now broken, and Jackson is standing in the doorway.
He enters and slowly closes the door behind him. "Yeah... I was... We hardly have time for ourselves anymore... This is the earliest you\'ve been to bed in a few weeks..." There are times in every relationship that you need to sit down and talk. Especially if you aren\'t spending as much time together as you want to, he heads over to the walk-in closet and begins to undress.
Our Kingdom has expanded greatly since the war with Bellvia... We\'re one of the strongest powerbases in the world now. Slayer Zern\'s mother is a noble of our Kingdom, and my new powers thanks to the feather I got from Slayer Zern. "You said that you were going to dye your hair back to its original color. Change your mind?" It wasn\'t that simple.
The hair dye doesn\'t work on me. My hair remains a vibrant and shiny white now. "I tried... Nothing worked. The hair dye would flow out. It\'s safe to say that I\'m not getting my original hair color back... My powers are expanding too... I\'ve learned that I\'ve got some new healing skills." Most people would be excited. There are several reasons why I\'m not.
Giving reasons would make me sound ungrateful and cynical. A part of me hates myself for that. My husband comes out of the walk-in closet, and he\'s in his pajamas. For a king, he wears plain clothes to bed. "Tell me what\'s eating you up, Tessa. We\'re partners, and we\'re here for each other. You can tell me anything." What\'s eating me up... To much...
The biggest one on my mind is how one-sided this relationship feels. He does everything for me... Protects me... Supports me... Wages a war for me... The only thing I\'ve done is sit next to him and come to bed with him. "There are a lot of them... I feel like I\'m not contributing anything to this marriage..." His left eyebrow raises, and he gives ma a crooked smirk.
I hope that our children will have that one day. "I can\'t really say I know why you feel this way, Tessa. I don\'t see our marriage that way. Who does more for who... We\'re both young and in this together." Sometimes I wonder where he gets his wisdom from. He lays next to me on the bed and rolls me over to lean on him.
It\'s so comfortable being like this with him. He makes me feel safe. "Okay, I\'ll try to stop thinking about this... How goes the nobles and dividing up the newly acquired land from the war with Bellvia..." His deep groan tells me everything. His hand glides up the side of my body, and my body reacts against my wishes. The same hand leaves my body, and he rubs a hand through his own hair.
The stress of a King is hardly understood. Jackson is one of the great ones, the ones that care about their subjects and the future of his Kingdom. "Some nobles are ready to fight one another in duels of honor and competition to see who gets the land in a tournament. I\'m worried some of them will take it too far..." I wouldn\'t doubt it. I have an idea, but it\'s a little risky.
My hand finds its way under his shirt, and I gently scratch his stomach and chest with my fingernails. "Would you like to hear my idea?" He looks at me slowly. He nods his head with a subtle smile. "Give the land to Amelia. She has the most influence other than you in the Kingdom. Her son being who he is will protect her from any attacks." No one will try to kill an Angel\'s mother.
At first, he has a confused crease on his eyebrow. After a couple of seconds of consideration, his eyes widen slightly, and he sits up. "You\'re a genius, Tessa! Why didn\'t I think of that!" He\'s about to get out of bed. I grab him by his collar, and he halts. He turns and sees my frustrated look. "I can take care of it tomorrow..." That\'s what I thought. I want you here tonight.
He settles back into his spot, and I wrap my arms around him to make sure he won\'t sneak off in the middle of the night. "That really is a brilliant idea, Tessa... Millions will be willing to help her develop the land thanks to who she is... She\'s considered a Saintess these days... Giving birth to the grandson of The Almighty Father has made her revered by millions..." His mind is still on work.
I\'ll have to be satisfied with just his physical body being here. He hardly knows how to stop working. "Jackson... Stop thinking about work... I want you to relax and shut off your brain for a while..." My words might reach him, but once he\'s in the zone of problem-solving, it\'s hard to get him out of it. I feel his hand grab my butt, and I let out a little squeal.
He\'s not taking the exact route I thought he would. I\'m not going to complain. "I\'m thinking about another problem right now... Want to hear about it..." His voice is smooth and teasing as he plays with my butt. I lightly nod my head as I try to avoid eye contact. "We need to make some kids. Want to start tonight?" Heat rises to my face, and I know I\'m flushed red.
He\'s pretty bold when we\'re alone like this. His hand finds the underside of my chin, and he lifts my head. We lock lips, and I\'m convinced. We pull apart, and he\'s already taking my bra off, letting my breasts free. "I\'m not going to like sharing these one day, but I\'ll enjoy them all to myself for now..." His lips latch onto my left nipple, and my back arches in response.

~~~(Location: Temporary Home, Border City)~~~
~~~(Time: 7:50 PM)~~~
Sally wraps her legs and arms around me as we\'re both close to sleep. My body\'s warmth is mixing with her\'s. She lets out a content sigh as I hug her closer. After tomorrow, Helda will be contacting us again, and we\'re going to be moving across the border. I\'m excited to see the Elven Kingdom with my own eyes for the first time.
Very few screenshots existed in my old life, and the ones that did were terrible. "Cera... I can\'t fall asleep..." Sally presses against me to get my attention, and my eyes meet hers. "What should we do..." There are a few things, but last time we had sex, Hailey and Jasmine heard. So that\'s out of the question for tonight. I have one idea, and she might like it.
I turn my body slightly, and I lean up. "I can give you a back massage... It\'ll help you relax and get some of the tension out... I can see how nervous you are as time passes... I\'d be too if I were in your shoes..." After talking to Helda, Sally has become more fidgety and scared. Going into her racist homeland is slowly getting to her. She\'s stuck in her own head.
She turns on her stomach and takes her shirt off. Giving me access to her back, and she lays back down. Her breasts pop out the sides, and she moves her blond hair out of the way. "Thanks for doing this, Cera... You see things that others don\'t care to look for..." She\'s a sweetheart for saying so, but it\'s about her right now. Time to help her relax.
