"Based from her attitude, I wouldn't be surprised if she did make an enemy out of a powerful Fae who got his hold of the Hephaestus's stone. My mother is irrelevant to the gods and goddesses so it is impossible." Apollyon inclined his head as he focused on her lips. "Is the inquisition done?"

Luna bit her lip to stifle a grin. "It is but I will not be fucking my husband tonight. I want to watch the stars."

Luna stood on the second floor of the gazebo, which also served as the Summer Court's observatory.

Crickets chirped in the midnight.

Their only source of light was Apollyon's hundreds of incandescent orbs floating around the gazebo, like monstrous fireflies, casting the observatory in a soft, romantic glow.

As she thought, the observatory was a good spot for a couple's tryst, and the Summer Monarchs approved without saying it out loud.

It was also amazing to note some of the flowers she had seen as she leaned towards the ledge, looked down, and made a sweeping glance on the hedge maze garden.

Luna's lips parted in awe when she realized she hadn't seen these white and golden flowers in the morning…. or so she thought.

Maybe she had just forgotten.

As her gaze fixed on the precious blossoms, Luna racked her brain for a single memory she had.

Apollyon must have sensed her dilemma when she told her that these flowers only bloom at night and their gorgeous petals would close during the day.

It was a wonderful sight to behold, but that wouldn't compare to the stars and galaxies she would see in the observatory's telescope.

All the mattresses were clean.

The thick coverlets were flesh and laundered.

Everything in here had a faint scent of jasmine and roses.

She wouldn't be surprised if the walls and the floor were sprinkled with flowers and herbs to make it seem fresh and relaxing since florets placed on vases couldn't survive from the heat of the sun at the observatory.

Luna peeked through the large, heavy telescope with her right eye, which almost took half the room's space and adjusted its direction.

The telescope made her see the clusters of stars from a closer look, and it blew her away with its sparkling brilliance—especially those that weren't visible even to vampire's eyes.

Luna was excited when she saw an interesting smudge on the lens, making her already sensitive senses heighten.

It was bluish with a little bit of dust and clouds in the sky as she peered into the vast unknown.

But Luna only had one problem.

Her husband.

She thought she had already escaped her husband's seduction after fixing the length of his cuffs while he put on his tunic again before this.

Luna assisted him by tying his belt around his waist for her benefit to avoid his temptation successfully.

Unfortunately, that was ineffective.

Luna made sure her husband would hear her heavy sigh."Apollyon."

"Yes, beloved?" He murmured in his ear in that husky, deep voice that made her hunch her shoulders from the delicious sensation.

Apollyon knew it made her feel some type of way, eliciting raw emotions from her core, such as desire.

The cold gust of wind blowing through her form wasn't the reason while shivers ran down her spine.

It was Apollyon blowing in her god damned ear, and it tickled like hell!

Gritting her teeth, she whispered without looking over her shoulder, "Can you be serious for once?"

"I'm serious, wife. I did what you want." He drawled. "You want to watch the stars and I allowed you even if I preferred another more… enjoyable activity."

"Stargazing is romantic." She responded dryly, pretending that he didn't affect her at all. "You can't tell me otherwise."

"That is why we are watching they night skies with the telescope, aren't we?"

"Don't even pretend to be innocent with me, you libertine!"

"What's wrong?"

Her heart pounded with a mix of frustration and annoyance mixed with—she didn't want to admit it—lust.

Luna closed her eyes for a few seconds and breathed.

When she opened her eyes, she demanded, "Could you just stop thinking about inappropriate thoughts until tomorrow?"

"No.It's all think about all the day, beloved. I can't. Just go and continue watching the skies while I stand right behind you."Apollyon said softly as he stepped even closer, his chest touching her back. "It wasn't like my thoughts can harm you."

"Husband." Luna removed her gaze from her eyepiece and straightened her spine. "I can't concentrate with what I am doing if you are standing too close to my butt."

"Alright." He stepped backward, no questions asked."I will move if you are uncomfortable."

"You forgot to remove your hands on my breasts." Apollyon's cool fingers settled lightly on her chest moved a bit.

"Oh. I thought they were your waist." Apollyon feigned surprise, but they stayed there despite the gentle reprimand.

Luna didn't know whether to laugh or scold him for this!

At least, she was certain that her husband wasn't a great actor.

"Groping your distracted wife in an observatory is not allowed."

"Why would my hands distract you? It's just there on your breasts." Apollyon explained. "It will make your entire being to focus more. Not on the stars--" He trailed off o purpose to emphasize his next words, "--But on me."

Oh, goddess!

Here they go again!

"You seducer! This must be how males say to get their women to submit."

"It's a well-known fact that husbands need to massage their wife's breasts to make it rounder and larger."

Facts?" Luna's fingers clutched Apollyon's large hands on her breasts and physically removed them.

His limbs dropped to each side, "That's the first time I have heard of it."

"It's just a jest."

"You want them as big as watermelons, huh?"

"Not necessarily." Apollyon replied. "That's too—"

"Go ahead and find a big-breasted b*tch to be your consort then!"

"Why are you so testy?"

Luna was so pissed off that she had to face him, scowling and poking an accusing finger on his chest. "I'm already carrying our baby and she is slowly growing. You want me to suffer by lugging more weight and break my back in the process?"

Prussian Blue eyes fixed on her face, Apollyon smiled slightly, "Beloved. I would love to break your back."

"What?" She didn't get it.

"While I fuck you from behind."

"Stop. I'm watching stars, Apollyon!" She convinced herself, exclaiming in a burst of fury. "I'm watching stars right now."

"Do you have to remind yourself so bad?"

"Stay away." She lifted her chin. "Don't come near me until your head is clear enough."

"I am merely flirting while my wife while she is immersed in stargazing. I will stop." Apollyon's lips descended and landed a kiss on her cheeks, "Be thankful, I'm not naked. I can't even touch you without complaints."

"I can't stargaze if you aren't into it, Apollyon." She said, boxing his ears despite the sudden kiss, which made butterflies flutter in her stomach. "You need to concentrate with me."
