Alpha King Of The Heavens (Heavenly Alphas Book One)

A Blissful Night

ADRIA’S POV:

I sat in the parlor lost in thought as Leo sat in his office working on official paperwork announcing me as the Queen. A King’s job is never done. While I wished he would come and spend some time with me, I couldn’t help but be grateful for the alone time. I still couldn’t manage to get that outraged Alpha out of my mind. Something told me that wasn’t going to be the end of the issue at hand.

As if on cue, in walked Leo. He looked at my worried expression and smiled softly as he sat next to me. “So, my Queen, tell me what is on that beautiful little mind of yours?” He paused for a moment before continuing to speak. “Is it still about Emory?”

I sighed a little giving way to what was on my mind. This man barely knew me, yet he could read me better than my own family could. It was like he could feel what I was feeling. “I suppose it is.” I didn’t know what else to say beyond that, to be honest. It was humiliating.

“Well, for what it is worth. I was proud of how you handled yourself in there. Most Queen’s kind of let it slide and let their Kind fight their battles. If you aren’t from here that is. I was shocked, to say the least. But proud.” He smiled placing his hand on mine that was resting against my leg.

I laughed a little. “Well, thank you.” When it came to words...for some reason especially with him...I never knew what to say.

He smiled and watched me carefully. “Why don’t we take your mind off of that. Is it safe to assume that after that...incident of his...you aren’t ready for all eyes to be on you as we eat dinner tonight?”

I smiled a little thankful. “That would be an extreme understatement. What do you have in mind?”

He smiled as he tilted my chin up. “You know what used to make me feel better when I was little?”

I laughed a little finally looking up to meet his gaze. “No, but I have a great feeling you are going to tell me.”

He smiled. “Of course I am. Well, my mom and I would skip dinner. But instead, she would take me up to my room and make a fort with extra sheets we had. Then she would grab a carton of ice cream and a tub of cookie dough and we would sit and watch all of my favorite movies. What do you say we give that a go tonight?”

I smiled a little. The blush returns to my cheeks instantly. The thought was so sweet and so sentimental. “I like that idea, a lot.” I paused for a moment and looked down a little embarrassed. “The only issue is...we don’t normally watch movies back in Primordial. We normally just practice and perfect our abilities.”

He nodded and tilted my chin up so that we were making eye contact again. “That’s okay. We will find something that looks interesting enough to you to watch. Okay? Nothing to be embarrassed about. Every kingdom runs differently.”

“Are you sure? I don’t want to impose or make anything more difficult than it needs to be.” I asked a little worried to be a burden.

“You could never impose in your own home, my love.” He said sweetly kissing me on the head. “I will be right back. I am going to go set up the sheet fort and get the snacks ready. Then we will go and pick out a movie.”

“Okay, I will be here waiting.” I smiled and blushed a little more.

He got up quickly and walked away. A sheet fort. I laughed a little to myself. It was so childish. Yet so perfect. It didn’t seem like he was gone too long when he walked into the parlor grinning ear to ear.

“Now, come with me, my love. I am going to show you my family’s massive movie collection that Dad kept in a secret room connected to their bedroom.” He smiled and reached for my hand.

I smiled placing my hand in his. “Oh great. Taking someone who has never watched a movie into an unlimited selection of films. Sounds like a great idea.” I laughed playfully.

He smiled. “Oh please, we have all the time in the world. Even if it takes you until the sun rises again to choose.” He laughed as he walked me to our room.

“I thought you said it was connected to your parent’s bedroom,” I said looking around confused.

“Oh, it was. But when they moved out on my coronation day, I was moved into their room. It is bigger. Mom says it is fit for a King, Such a cliche, I know.” He laughed as he led me to a room in the back that I hadn’t noticed before.

As he opened the door and we stepped in...it felt like a library. Built-in shelves that were sunken into the walls were lined with movies. I don’t mean a small room full. It was as big as a Library with shelves from wall to wall and top to bottom.

My mouth dropped a little as I stared at the thousands of movies that expanded before me. He laughed noting my reaction. “More than you thought it would be I suppose. Go ahead. Pick out anything you would like to watch.”

My eyes started to scan the room frantically worrying about him waiting for me. But, every time I looked over my shoulder...he was smiling watching every move I made around the massive room. What do people even like to watch on dates like these? And then finally I found a section that interested me. I have never seen a movie before. What better to watch on a movie date than...a horror movie? It would undoubtedly spook me...but even if it didn’t...I could pretend so that we could get some snuggle time in.

As I glanced at the titles. I finally found one that looked creepy. With a clown of course. I picked the movie from the shelf and handed it to him shyly.

He scanned the cover curiously like he already knew what I was thinking. “Oh, I see. It is truly a classic. Let’s go get settled in.” He smiled leading me out of the room.

I sat down in the middle of the MASSIVE sheet fort he had made and watched him turn on the movie. He turned off the light and sat next to me excitedly and opened the carton of ice cream handing me a spoon as he took a big bite himself. Chocolate. I laughed to myself. What girl doesn’t like chocolate? As the movie played, a jump scare came up quicker than I had anticipated and without warning.

I jumped immediately and ended up in Leo’s arms without realizing it. I glanced into his eyes for a moment and the movie faded into nothing but background noise as my lips landed on his. I found my hands quickly finding the buttons on his white shirt and undoing them. His hands were on my hips as we continued on the course we had started. His lips found their way to my neck slowly and I couldn’t help but let a soft moan escape my lips.

I slowly continued to undress him as he did the same to me...and before I knew it...we were waking with the sun lying under the sheets. He was holding me so softly I had the thought of just lying here forever. In perfect bliss and harmony.
