The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

It seemed like my flitting eyes were so obvious. Killian's gaze settled on me with a questioning look. "Do you have anything to say?" He asked.

I shook my head like a rattle drum, "No. I don't have anything to say. You guys should go on."

"Edna." He called out warningly, "What is going on in your pretty little head?"

My eyes glanced at Killian before looking at Jelena.

I shrugged, "Nothing. Nothing is going on in my head. The two of you obviously have some unfinished business to discuss. I am not going to butt into your business. Who am I to do that?"

Killian leaned forward with a dark gaze, "Edna, don't test my bottom line. This lady and I have no business together. She is the head of my guards. After marriage, she would be under your jurisdiction. You don't have to be worried about her." "My King!" Jelena said with a strong tone.

He said he didn't have any business with her, I could see that he really thought so. Obviously, she did not share the same opinion.

Her dark face was enough evidence.

"I can see you are the only one that thinks like that." I responded to Killian under my breath. I rolled my eyes as I replied.

Female to female, I could sense her biting anger and hatred. My existence by Killian's side must be annoying her to no end.

I felt like laughing but I caught myself at the last minute.

The atmosphere was serious.

I would spoil everything with my laugh.

"Please leave. I have something to talk about with my future Queen." Killian drawled, "I am sure your job needs you."

"But my King, she's not worthy of you. She is not a g-" She tried to argue.

"Be silent or face a penalty! Who are you to know who is good for me and who is not? Do you think you are worthy? It seems you and your father have gotten too comfortable. It seems it's time to fix that." Killian sneered. A blush coated my cheeks.

The way Killian was defending me repeatedly made my heart pound.

He looked like he was a minute away from snapping and destroying everything.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The good feelings I have for Killian increased again.

Intense embarrassment was practically wafting off Jelena.

I felt ashamed on her behalf.

She darted a glance in my direction. Unknown emotions intertwined into a complicated light in her eyes. I felt sorry for her.

Killian's mouth can be unforgiving if a person was at the receiving end.

Finally, after a short stare, Jelena bowed and turned around to leave.

I knew this wasn't the end though.

Vladan's behavior and Jelena's stiff actions told me all I needed to know.

"So, I want to thank you for not rejecting me. I can't offer you anything but my gratitude. Thank you again." I said to Killian.

I haven't seen any living person taking my affairs personal like this. The only person I saw that behaved like this was my brother. It was a pity that a crazy woman took him from me. My parents might have been like that too.

My heart ached.

His eyes darkened and I knew he wasn't pleased with my apology.

His hand rose up and cupped my jaw. His thumb moved back and forth slowly.

Goosebumps rose on my skin and it felt like all my nerves were concentrated on the spots his thumb was stroking.

That was the only place my brain could focus on. It was a miracle that an embarrassing sound didn't slip through my closed lips.

"I thought I have warned you about this. Don't say 'thank you' to me. We are more than that. You can appreciate me with something else. Your appreciation can be a kiss or a reward in the bedroom, I am not against that kind of appreciation." Killian smirked.

My ears reddened as I glared at Killian for his presumptuous words.

"What are you saying?" I tried to keep my voice leveled.

Killian's stroking didn't stop, "I'm just telling you the ways you can say 'thank you' to me instead of just plain words. We don't need that between us. Enough of this, I knew you were getting closer through our bond. I didn't know you will arrive at my territory in the blink of an eye. Edna, I would love to know more about you. You are going to be my partner for life, it's necessary."

I shouldn't say anything about my background. I should be silent. It was the logical thing to do.

Although Killian has shown significant interest in me, I felt like he was an uncontrollable variable and I hate uncontrollable variables. It was hard to plan for them or plan against them.

Still, my mouth opened up to talk. I guess having no one willing to listen to my life story without me being worried that they would scheme against me affected me more than I thought.

The humans from the exploration team didn't count. We weren't close. I couldn't tell them about my fears, my past and everything else.

If I did something like that, I would be devastated if and when they betray me. I can't even imagine how wrecked I would be if I had told my life stories and past to Habiba. She betrayed the whole group and she was willing to sell out information for her comfort.

She was desperate and if stepping on me could get her to the top, it was highly likely that Habiba will do it.

I made myself comfortable on his thighs.

His other hand wrapped around my waist like a clamp.

It wasn't something I could budge or move so I let it go. I made myself comfortable instead.

"Stop moving erratically. Don't stoke a fire you are not ready to quench." Killian's voice was deeper.

My eyes collided with Killian's dark eyes. His gaze was too intense. I had to look away.
