Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 226

#Chapter 16 Simple words

Doris barely left her room while William was in meetings all week with the Eldon rulers. He came to their room later, sometimes drunk from socializing or so exhausted that he barely kissed his baby goodnight before he passed out.

She tried to ignore the ache inside her that longed for him. She tried to remember that he was busy—of course he was busy. He was a king and he had better things to do than spend all of his time with them. Or at least some of his time with them.

Still, she knew her baby missed him as much as she did. Sometimes when she couldn’t quiet him down, Doris wondered if it was because he wanted to be held by his father.
Or perhaps she was a failure at everything.

Her nights and days blurred together, she rarely got sleep and when she did —it was pure bliss.

It was a rare morning when she woke up and found William was still sound asleep next to her. She carefully slid out of bed and fed Alec as quietly as she could. The last thing she wanted was for him to wake and run out of here to his next meeting.

Alec fell right back asleep after he was fed. She sighed at his peaceful face and dressed for the day in a simple cream day dress.

Doris almost flinched when she felt William’s arms wrap around her from behind. She hadn’t heard the bed creak or his steps tap across the wooded floors when he approached her. His scent filled her up and made her lean back against his strong chest just to linger in the moment.

His lips pressed against her neck and made her shiver. Doris closed her eyes as his mouth moved up to her temple. She didn’t dare breathe too loud in fear it might ruin the moment for them both.
