Chapter 216: Tea With Evelyn (2)
(From Blue's Perspective)
"So, how many times do you go at it at a time?" she asked.
I was mortified. I had no idea she could talk about these kinds of things so freely. Now, I could see that she was definitely Demetrius's sister.
"Are you shy? There is no need to be shy," she grinned. "It's a very natural thing. Sex is something very normal for couples. So, why don't we stop being shy about it? I actually don't see what's there to be shy about.
I mean, yes, we have sex and it's a very intimate task. So what? It's not something to be shy about, right?"
"Well... I am actually a bit reserved about these kinds of things," I said.
"Oh my, you are just like Merrick!" she exclaimed. "He is very shy about these kinds of things as well."
She did not need to tell me that. It was pretty obvious. And I did not even need to see or hear to know that she talked very shamelessly to her husband just like Demetrius did to me.
"Do you want to know when we first met?"
"Hm? Yes, I would like to know," I said.
"We met while traveling. We met near a waterfall actually. Since I have Alpha blood inside me, I could choose my own mate. I was eighteen. I actually never thought of marrying since if I got married, I would have to settle down. At that time, I thought it would be impossible for me to travel as much as I would like to if I married or dated anyone.
But I was a bit wild type of woman, you know. I mean, I used to play around, but no strings attached. Merrick was the exact opposite. When we met, I suggested that we travel together for a while since we were planning to travel to the same places."
"I was the one who suggested that we have sex since both of us were single. But he refused immediately and told me that he only wants to do it with his mate. He was a commoner. So, he would eventually find his mate. But it was not the same for me. I did not feel much for him at that time.
After he rejected me, I did not push him anymore since I am not that type of person. Then one night, there was a party where we joined. It was available for everyone. I hid my identity, so no one knew that I was a Royal, not even Merrick. There, one woman was flirting with him and ended up kissing him. He did not give consent though.
I was so angry that I ended up leaving the party immediately. When he followed me, I cried and confessed to him. I had never felt that pathetic and hurt before."
"He did not believe me completely and asked again and again if I was truly in love with him or I was just playing with him. It was not a lie obviously. It was the first time I told someone I loved him. He also confessed that he fell in love with him. I also said that I could take him as my mate since I had Alpha blood in me. Then we got married.
We had sex for the first time after we got married. It was his first time."
"It sounds amazing actually. Meeting your loved one like this- it's quite fantastic," I said.
"Yeah... I know. By the way, have you heard about my father?" she asked suddenly. "I mean, what kind of person he was? And the fact that Mother has mental illness regarding her past?"
"Yes, I know about it," I nodded. "Demetrius told me everything."
"Then you also might know that my father was someone who liked to play around with women... I was like that too. I played around with men. But he cheated on Mother after getting married. That was so fucked up! That's the point where I am different than him.
I mean, I did that before marriage and I was not cheating on anyone or had sex with someone who was married or had a lover. After marriage, I never even thought of anyone other than my husband. Actually, there isn't anyone to think about since I never loved anyone before."
"It's different for Demetrius and you, right? He is not like me or Father. He literally hated physical contact with anyone. You know, when we were little, he never let anyone touch him. I think I only saw Luc punching him. He was the only person who could touch him.
It's perhaps because they were best friends. Since Demetrius just hated everyone, he did not date anyone nor had any women. Of course, he made sure that others knew that he had mistresses. It was just a pretend and all of the members of the palace knew about it. It was mainly to fool Uncle. He knew that Demetrius was lying, but he did not have any proof.
I think Demetrius's first time was with you, right?"
"Yeah," I nodded shyly.
"And yours?"
"It was with him," I said. "Both of our first times were on our wedding night."
"That's great. I think it is one of the reasons the bond between you two is greater than most couples. Actually, I know a bit about my brother's personality. We don't have much of a good relationship, but I still know some things about him. He is very... brutal...
He kills someone without blinking an eye. Well, I can do that too, so it's not much of a thing, I guess. But it's not the same for you. I heard, in your world, things don't happen like this."
"That's true. It's a lot different there," I said.
"And he can be very extreme about certain things... Let me be frank- he is obsessed with you, isn't he?"
'Eh? How...? How does she know that? Dem said he was not close with his sister...'
"It's not healthy obviously and he surely tries to restrict you from doing a lot of things. Even if he has not gone too far, he will soon. I know you are not going to admit it. But I know it's true regardless of what you are going to say. I am not in the same boat with him about it. It's not alright.
But he is someone you can't get rid of no matter what if you get tangled with him once. It's impossible for you to be apart from him. You also love him. But all I want to tell you is that you can talk to me if you need someone to lend you an ear. No, I will lend you two of my ears and listen to everything you have to say. Think of me as your older sister.
I already think of you as my younger sister. So, come to me if you have any problems. I will help you no matter what."
Talking to Evelyn made me surprised. She was easy to talk to and she actually knew about Demetrius's personality more than I thought. But I still could not open up to her. I was scared that she might betray me. I barely talked to anyone about Dem's personality, his obsessive and dangerous nature, and his desires. Now that I thought about it, I had never actually told anyone about it.
I decided not to tell her anything now. But if someday I needed any advice, I would surely come to her.
I sent a letter to Demetrius through a maid saying that I was going to have lunch with Evelyn. He told me to tell him beforehand when I was going to do something. His abandonment issues perhaps started to affect him again.
I had a feeling that something happened in his dream last night. He had been acting this way after this morning. He also got an erection out of nowhere, not that I was worried about that.
He had left me a note on the bedside table this morning. On that note, he reminded me to tell him before doing something. I had been suspecting that he was worried that I would leave him.
It was no surprise anymore when he would hug me tightly and tell me not to leave him again and again in his sleep. I always tried to reassure him again and again, but it did not help. He always believed that I would leave him someday.
'What do I have to do to make you believe that I won't leave you?'
It made me sad every time he behaved like that. It was like his mind was ruined and he was holding onto me only. It made me want to embrace him and love him so much that he would never think that I would leave him.
