CHAPTER 30: COMFORTABLE BED

In the medical room, Caelum and Selene made love several times, leaving Selene exhausted. She had expected that the man’s stamina would be so strong that she would be unable to move or do anything else. Eventually, when they finished, she fell asleep.

He woke up briefly, turning his head towards her who was sleeping on his chest. Her face looked so innocent as she slept on, and he also realized that Selene looked very exhausted from their crazy game.

Without realizing it, he began to fall for the woman in his arms right now. Yet for 28 years, he had continued to build a strong wall between himself and those around him.

He never let anyone get past that wall without feeling pain and coldness.

However, unlike them, Selene had quietly entered into him. Even though she had flirted with him from the beginning, and even approached him, Caelum was still able to stand his ground and guard the barrier.

"But without me realizing it, you have entered through that wall without me knowing. In such a short time, you’ve mastered what I’ve been guarding only," he whispered as he brushed Selene’s hair away from her face.

On the narrow medical bed, their bodies pressed against each other, feeling the warmth of their skin. Caelum could feel her slow breathing on his chest.

"You really are a very dangerous woman," he whispered again while kissing her forehead.

He had never felt such an overwhelming sensation, let alone making love to someone. When his hired women came to satisfy him, none of them could make him aroused.

So he kicked them out before even getting to make love. However, only with Selene did he feel something different. He felt an adrenaline rush, an emotional bond and more when he was with her.

"I won’t let you go, I’ll make sure everyone knows you’re mine. If you’re stuck forever in this prison, then I’ll make you live a life without misery," he said while nuzzling into her.

****

Once Selene finally opened her eyes, she saw herself in a bed that felt so cozy but cold. This bed was different from the slightly hard medical room bed, this bed was much more soft.

She looked at herself, her body was still not wearing any clothes but was covered with the kiss and bite marks of the Chief Warden.

"It hurts so much, it’s like he marked me right all over my body," she summarized in a voice that was hoarse from lack of sound.

As she sat up, she realized that her half body was covered by a black blanket and she was on a queen-size bed.

Her blue eyes scanned the surroundings, seeing that she was in a room that was definitely nice but a bit dark.

"Could this be Caelum’s room? He took me to his room. He really has a lot of guts as the leader of the prison. And the warders keep talking about it," she muttered.

Selene thought maybe Caelum wasn’t afraid because he was the leader. But wouldn’t he be worried if this was reported to the Zondalian Center.

Where the leader of the prison took the side of one of the prisoners currently on trial.

"I think taking sides is a word too far. Maybe it’s more like favoring one of the prisoners. What will the central government do when it finds out about this?"

Special treatment of a prisoner who is considered dangerous. Isn’t that the same as committing suicide?

"Are you awake?" said a man who walked into the room with a bowl in his hand.

As soon as she turned around, she found Caelum who walked over and sat on the chair next to the bed.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"Should I leave you alone in the medical room in such a state?" he asked, sounding his usual flat voice but softening a little this time.

She sighed, what he said was true because there was no way Caelum would leave her alone when her body was covered in bite marks.

"If the other warders see me coming out of your room. They’ll start talking about other gossip," she said.

"Leave it alone if they see it. Even if they don’t like it, they have no right to stop me," he replied.

He could use his power in the prison, not to mention his family name, if anyone dared to try to fight him or report him to the central government.

Caelum was not used to doing so. However, he was sure that without using his power they would not dare to say anything.

He handed Selene a bowl of warm meat soup. "You must be tired and hungry. So I made this for you."

With trembling hands, Selene accepted the bowl and savored the warm meat soup. Her weak body slowly improved, and her stomach also became filled.

She continued to watch him eat, without saying anything. However, it could be seen from the look in his eyes that he admired the woman in front of him right now.

Not because she was without clothes, had many bite marks or anything else but because of something that only Caelum understood.

"I’m asking one of the warders to bring you new prisoner clothes. He should be here shortly and you can go take a shower first before putting on your new clothes," he said.

Selene nodded her head. "You are very prepared, aren’t you? You said you weren’t interested in making love in this prison, but you have a condom," she teased.

"Actually, it’s not mine. I picked it up from the box of supplies that came here," Caelum replied, causing Selene to turn to him.

Admitting that it had fallen out of the supply box. When he asked about it, none of the warders admitted who it belonged to.

"So I kept it. It just so happened that the size matched mine perfectly. So I thought I could use it if I ever wanted to do it with you," Caelum explained casually.

The woman couldn’t even know that Caelum would have such an idea. However, she couldn’t protest and just nodded her head.

"But that’s a good thing, so we don’t have to wait until you have that thing for us to use. Or maybe you’ll be desperate not to use it," Selene said teasingly.

"I’m not that stupid to take such a big risk. If I was going to do it, I’d make sure you got out of this place first. Then I’d put my baby in you," he said as he looked at her seriously.

Caelum’s seriousness made Selene’s heart beat faster. She hadn’t expected him to say such a casual but serious thing.

It was as if he wanted her to have his child.

Looking at Selene who was silent with a slightly flushed face, it was as if he knew that she was thinking about what he had said earlier.

He then stood up and moved close to Selene on the edge of the bed. Approaching her ear, he whispered.

"I will make sure that day comes."
