Free Web NovelChapter 191: Trouble Sleeping
“Don’t thank me. You do realize that we have to win this war first and the people’s cooperation will also be necessary,” Ren said sternly.
“Yes, I am aware. Thank you, Ren,” I said and ended up thanking him again.
“Enough of this serious talk for today,” Ren said before he heaved a sigh. He seemed worn out and stressed.
“When will the fighting start?” I asked one last question.
Doctor Kai told us that it would probably start tomorrow. Ren should know best though.
“It’s already ongoing but our army will probably join in tomorrow,” Ren replied flatly.
“You too? Will you fight too?” I couldn’t stop myself from asking.
“I’m not sure. It depends on how our first wave of reinforcement does when they join with the army that is already engaged in battle,” Ren replied honestly.
I didn’t want to tire him further with talks of my worries and fear, so I just nodded in acceptance. Tomorrow or the day after or someday soon, Ren would be heading out to join the battle. I knew that and I knew that I had to try my hardest to accept it.
“Let’s go to sleep. Tomorrow will start early,” Ren said as he pulled me along towards the bed.
I looked down at the bed and was reminded of how small and narrow it was. Unlike the bed in the palace this bed was made for travel and was meant to accommodate only one person and that person would be Ren. Of course, other people probably just slept on the floor. Only the crown prince and perhaps some high-ranking generals had beds. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
“Don’t blame the bed for being small. Blame for yourself for turning up without permission. You should have told Shin to pack you a bed while he was smuggling you along,” Ren said without any sympathy.
“I’m not blaming anything or anyone...” I muttered softly.
“Come...we can squeeze,” Ren said as sat down on the bed and started pulling me down with him.
The bed was small but that meant that I got to sleep in Ren’s arms. It’s been many days since I’ve seen him and held him like this. In the middle of the battlefield that was new and full of uncertainties or me, being in his arm felt blissfully secure and comforting.
When Ren said that we should go to sleep, he really meant it. After a while of holding me in his arms, I felt’s Ren’s breathing become steady as he fell asleep. On the other hand, I couldn’t sleep at all. Too anxious about what would happen tomorrow, I couldn’t fall asleep. I tried my best to stay still in Ren’s arms so that I wouldn’t disturb his sleep. The tent was quite dark with some light coming in through the fabric of the tent from the fire outside.
I let out a soft sigh as I thought about the war starting tomorrow for us. Everyone is going to be so busy and there will probably be many patients for us to tend to. Suddenly, I felt the arms around me move and Ren shifted his weight on the bed.
“Can’t sleep?” Ren whispered softly into my ears.
“I’m sorry...I guess, I’m just feeling too anxious...” I replied quietly.
“It’s normal. It’s your first time out here and sleeping in a tent. It’s not comfortable, right?” Ren said, sounding very understanding.
It wasn’t that it wasn’t uncomfortable, but I was just too scared and worried to fall asleep.
“I just can’t stop thinking about the war tomorrow. I’m sorry that I woke you,” I said regretfully.
Ren’s hand gently cupped my cheek and turned my head around to face him before he softly kissed my lips. My eyes widened in surprise before I slowly closed them to concentrate on the feel of Ren’s warm lips on my own. He kissed me softly as his arms tightened around my body. I could feel the heat of his body against my back as our kiss deepened.
His wet tongue probed my closed lips, seeking for entry and I parted my lips willingly for him. I sighed with satisfaction as his tongue slipped into my mouth and mingled with my own. As our tongue danced passionately together, his hands began seeking out the pleasurable spots of my body. His large palms cupped and began massaging my breasts, making me moan a little into our kiss and my breathing quickened.
I can’t believe we’re doing this here in the tent when there’s a war starting tomorrow but I just didn’t want him to stop. It wasn’t just because of the pleasure that he was making me feel but being this close to Ren helped me relax. Ren’s hands dipped under the openings of my clothes and began kneading my naked breasts directly.
“Ren...” I moaned his name softly.
“Shhh...try to hold your voice in or you’ll disturb the soldiers...the tent is very thin...” Ren warned half-jokingly.
“Maybe...we shouldn’t...” I whispered.
“Don’t think of anything except me, Rin...” Ren whispered seductively into my ear as his hands squeezed my breasts roughly.
I whimpered softly, trying to muffle my sounds by covering my mouth with my hand. It feels so good, I’m going to cry out. His fingers started playing with my rock-hard nipples and my body writhed against his, thrusting my breasts out towards his hand. Ren pinched and rolled my nipples in between his fingertips repeatedly and I struggled to stop myself from moaning loudly.
My body felt hot and the pleasurable ache between my legs had built up so much that it was becoming unbearable. Ren started grinding his hips against my backside and I could feel the shape of his hardness against my ass. He’s rock hard already...
Ren removed his hands from my breasts before he laid me down on my back and got on top of me. His hands impatiently tore at my clothes in a race to remove them. It wasn’t long until I was completely naked. Ren’s hands then went to his own clothes. I watched him quickly remove his clothes before he hovered on top of me again. Our lips met and this time the kiss was demanding, wet and very deep. He sucked on my tongue, and I whimpered into his mouth.
