Chapter 130: Fenric, I have a question—Do you get jealous?

I didn’t know what Fenric was plotting, but the straight glare he was giving Damar seemed to insinuate something, and Damar caught on to it.

If not, he wouldn’t have made a move right after Fenric talked.

He suddenly placed one hand over my neck and pulled me closer.

My heart was racing at this sudden action. Wait, wait, did they talk in telepathy or something? What’s with this sudden change?

But before I could even register it, Damar had claimed my lips, acting so assertively that I almost thought Fenric had possessed him.

He kissed my lips tenderly and then slowly pried my lips open with his tongue so he could explore.

What started out as a beautiful and soft blushing morning became something so intimate that I could not believe he was the same guy who was just flinching at a single finger touch.

He held the back of my head, and tightened his fingers interlocked in mine, and then after a while, he released my lips, allowing me to catch my breath as he gazed softly into my eyes.

That just now... Was crazy.

Crazy as in, I liked it.

Then, Damar turned to glare at Fenric, continuing from where he stopped.

"I don’t need you to tell me what to do, Cub." He said but Fenric snorted and crossed his arms.

"But you seemed to listen well, reptile." He said and grinned. "You even went for it as I suggested."

They both had bolts flying out of their eyes and Fenric clicked his tongue.

"If not for the fact that I want to make sure Arinya is satisfied with everything, I would not waste my breath on you. It’s just because Arinya likes you so much, if not..." He glanced at me, his eyes seeming a bit sad but he closed them and looked away. "Anyway, you better suck it up."

Ah, I see.

I finally get it now.

The reason why Fenric goes out of his way to give Damar a chance even though he could monopolize my affection and attention, was because to me, Damar would always be my number one.

He believes I like Damar the most and the fact that Damar isn’t even taking advantage of that pisses him off.

He doesn’t want me to be disappointed either when the male I like doesn’t act like he wants me.

Sure, he shows support, expresses his jealousy subtly, and protects me, but if he doesn’t do other things out of his own will, it’ll just make him seem like a helper and not a lover.

Fenric, though discontent that he’s second, has no choice but to lend a hand.

Where in the world would you see such a caring and generous spouse?

"Fenric, I have a question," I asked and he turned to look at me. "Do you get jealous?"

"Hah, is there anyone who doesn’t get jealous?" He asked and I shook my head. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"I know, I get jealous too, but that’s not what in asking. About Damar, do you get jealous about the fact that I liked Damar first?"

He paused and then looked away again, not saying a word.

He didn’t look like he was thinking of the answer. Rather, it looked like he already had the answer but couldn’t speak.

He refused to speak.

"Fenric?" I called but he didn’t answer.

Rather, he scratched his head and then turned to me, because he didn’t want to ignore me and end up offending me.

"Arinya, I’m generous." He said. "But I’m not a fool, don’t worry."

I was taken aback. What was that supposed to mean?

"I don’t understand," I said. "Can you make it clear so I can understand?"

He looked at me for a long time, at the genuine curiosity written on my face and the faint sparkle in my eyes, and then he sighed.

"I’ll answer you." He said. "But don’t take it the wrong way," he glanced at Damar, his eyes narrowed with a faint gleam of hostility.

I nodded, bracing myself for whatever he was going to say but I did not expect the words that came out of his mouth at all.

"I hate being second." He said and I flinched. "I hate that I’m after that reptile. If I had met you first, I would’ve definitely done all I could to keep you to myself for as long as I could before you laid eyes on another male that caught your fancy. I would’ve done all I wanted with you, basking in the warmth of being the only one in your eyes, and feel proud when bringing back meat for you because I’d be the only one you looked at with your warm and beautiful eyes."

My breath got stuck for a moment hearing his confession.

I didn’t... I didn’t know he felt this way.

I just thought he was an incredibly considerate male who did not have any issues bending his own beliefs on my behalf.

I thought he was okay with the fact that I had Damar and was planning to get other mates.

I thought Damar was the only one who wasn’t cool with the fact that I would have others to adore me.

But... I thought wrong.

Even Fenric felt the same way, wishing he could have me for himself and wishing he was my own and only.

"Anyway, you asked me if I get jealous?" He rested on my thighs again, crossing his arms on them as he rested his chin on his crossed arms, looking at me from below as he expressed the desire he had hidden all too well. "Yes, Arinya. I’m very jealous. Not just because Damar is here and was the first to recognize your brilliance, but because there will be others after me who will crave your attention and lessen the time we spend together."

I gulped down the lump in my throat, feeling my heart stagger and my face heat up.

I bit the inside of my mouth and clenched my fists.

This... I’m supposed to be concerned after hearing the words he just spoke, but I’m not.

I breathed roughly, my eyes turning slightly hazy and my heart beat quickening... I could hear every sound of it.

After hearing how he wished to monopolize me, the possessiveness in his tone and eyes, and even knowing the danger that lurked underneath those words, I should look at this in a different setting but...

Why does his confession excite me?
