It’s been three days since Luther had gone, not a message from him to Hazel, and that made Hazel restless. “I hope he’s okay wherever he is” she whispered softly to herself as she sat in the dinning table while looking towards the window.
“Would you be needing anything else, my Lady.” Jane asked as she poured a wine in a glass cup, while Mary stood beside Hazel as she cleared the used plates from the table.
“No please, I would be just fine” Hazel replied calmly.
“My Lady, is everything okay?” Mary asked.
“You have been worried since Lord Luther traveled.” Jane added, Mary quickly nudged Jane to keep shut.
Hazel quickly turned to catch Mary’s and Jane’s gaze, she chuckled softly, “I see you two have been discussing about me lately.” Hazel said as she gazed intently into their eyes.
“Apologies my Lady” They both said with their heads bent down.
Hazel stood up without uttering a word as she left the dinning hall to her room, she laid on her bed silently with her gaze fixed up to the well designed roof above her. “I miss you so much Luther, she muttered to herself as she closed her eyes gently.
It’s past midnight as she heard a soft knock at the door, she quickly awakened, wondering who it could be, she stood up as she went closer to the door. “Mary, Jane, Is that you.” She asked.
“It’s Luther, wife.”
Hazel stood frozen, the long awaited person she had been wanting to see, arrived at her door step, waiting for her to open the door for him to come in, she wasn’t well dressed, shy that he might not fancy the particular lingerie she wore, her hair isn’t well combed, and her eyes are heavy from sleep. She stood, gazing at the door in confusion, contemplating if to open it or not.
She walked towards the door, counting her steps slowly, she quickly adjusted her dress, as her heart kept racing like she had run a marathon, she exhaled softly as she held the door knob. “Stay put Hazel” she whispered to herself as she opened the door. There he was, stood calmly with smiles hovering his face, looking at his familiar face, those striking blue eyes pierced deeply into her soul, all the pain and mental stress of her not to have seen him for days disappeared, and a smile found its way to her lips.
Luther ruffled his hair, as he bits his lower side lip seductively, he took more steps closer, resting a hand on the doorframe, he leans forward as his gaze intensified towards her, he pulled her closer till he could feel her breath and his breath dance in rhythm, he nudged his forehead to hers, as he closed his eyes and inhale softly, while Hazel was wrapped round his arms like a baby, at that moment, Hazel, was so lost admiring his broad fitted shoulders and his sweet smells like rose flowers that sent shiver down her spine.
“He smells so good, how I have missed him so much” she thought to herself, as she hugged him tightly.
“Oh Hazel! You smell so heavenly, how I have missed you so much my beautiful Lady” he said as he pulled away, while staring deeply into her charming green eyes.
Hazel was shocked to hear those words, here she was thinking he never missed her. “You left without a word Luther” she whispered softly as she held his face with her soft palm, Luther supported her palm with his fingers on his cheeks, while they were both lust in their eyes.
“I apologize wife, I didn’t want to bother you with my problems.” He said as he gives a dull face, Hazel raised his chin with her tiny fingers to look at him closely.
“Whatever bothers you, bothers me as well Luther, I was more bothered not to have heard from you in three days, than you to have told me you were traveling for peace making with your brother Judas.” She responded with a sweet tone that made Luther at ease and wanted to eat her up right there with his touch and eyes.
“I bless the day I married you, you are exactly the strength I needed.” He whispered into her ears as he rested his head on her shoulders, she smoothed his hair gently and whispered seductively into his ears, “Would you love to come in Luther?” she bites his ear romantically.
“I would have loved to come in Hazel, but,” he paused as he stared deeply into her eyes, to her nose, then landed on her lips, he caressed her lips with his thumb.
“I would love for you to sleep a little more, it’s almost dawn, and I wouldn’t want to be in a haste to eat you up, I would love to take my time to devour your whole being, as my hands caress your skin.”
They both stare at each other intently with smiles on their faces, “I have an early morning meeting tomorrow with my armies, I would want to go to bed now and rest, for I have a long day tomorrow.” He said as he kissed her forehead gently. “I will see you at breakfast wife” he said and left.
Hazel stood as she watched his silhouette disappear, she exhaled sharply as she leans her back at the door, she closed her eyes as she inhaled Luther’s smell all over her body, while touching every part Luther touched. She quickly touched her lips with her fingers, recalling his thumb on it, “Luther, how I have missed your touch.”
