Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 210 Ever after

William placed her cloak over her before she shifted back. He turned away as she dressed herself in the

dress he brought for her. Her heart couldn’t help but skip when she realized how well he knew her

without even having to say a word.

“I can give you more time to yourself if you need.” William said. He shoved his hands deep in his pockets

and glanced at the space around them before finally settling his stormy eyes on her. “I’ll be here—“

“William.” Doris stepped up to him and cupped his cheeks. “I don’t need more time to myself. (This

William looked down at her with a little surprise in his gaze—as well as relief. Did he fear she would

leave him?

“Have you—have you decided to make the palace your home?” William asked. His hands rested on her

hips as he drew her closer. 2 “I think you told me just the other day that home can be a person.” Doris

whispered. “You are my home. Wherever you go, I will go.(This will be daily updtaed at

melt against her as if he trusted her small form to hold him up.

Doris closed her eyes and inhaled his scent. He smelled of snow and berries, she wanted to bottle it up

and drench everything she owned in the smell. It was intoxicating.

After a beat, William’s hands left her. She opened her eyes to found him kneeling on one knee in front of

her with a small velvet box in his hands. When he opened it, a rose shaped diamond ring sat inside with

smaller diamonds decorated around the band. It was the most beautiful ring she had ever seen.

“William—“Doris gasped.

“Doris Goodwin,” William said evenly as he watched her. “You are the only person I would ever kneel for.

You are the best part of my days and the only reason I can’t sleep when you’re gone. I ask you for your

hand in marriage, I ask you to stay at my side until we are nothing more than dust. I ask you to be my

one and only queen.” a

Doris’s lips parted, she felt her heart beat bang against her chest as she looked down at him. They stood

in this quiet, empty clearing with no one else around. He was the only beauty that she could see and it

was… it was perfect. It was her favorite place in the entire world because he was here with her. “Doris

Goodwin, will you marry me?” William finally asked. “Yes!” Doris almost screamed. Not even a beat had

passed, there was no sense of hesitation or doubt. She’d never felt more sure about anything in her life

—and she didn’t know she would feel that way until he asked.

William slipped the ring on her finger and it fit perfectly—as if it was always meant to be there. He took

her in his arms and swung her around and around the clearing until she could barely see through her

tears.

When he finally set her down, he kept a firm grip on her so she didn’t fall and grabbed her face to kiss

again and again.

“Mine.” He said against her lips. Each time he kissed her he said the same things over and over. “Mine.

My beautiful mate. All mine.” Doris wrapped her arms around his neck and he picked her up just to hold

her. “My beautiful queen.” 1 Doris blushed at his words. “Queen? I suppose I would be considered a

queen.” Doris chewed on her lip. She didn’t have the mind space to worry about that now. He started to

carry her back towards the palace like she was a bride. “You were made to be a queen.” William said

with a smile on his face. It was the first time she noticed that he couldn’t put a mask on, he couldn’t stop

smiling.

“I hope you’re right-I very much doubt it.” Doris laughed when he rolled his eyes. He carried her through

the palace doors with no intention of setting her down yet. His guards watched his every move, but he

walked by as if they didn’t even exist to him. 1 “There’s something I want to show you.” He said as he

carried her down the halls. Maids and servants stopped to watch, Doris no longer felt embarrassed like

she used to when she passed them. “I’ve been working on it since we got back from the camp.” He

walked them all the way back to his room—or their room—and stopped at the door next to it. Carefully,

he set her down and covered her eyes with one hand.

“Oh, I’m dying to know now.” Doris bounced a little on her toes as she heard him unlock the door and

push it open. He led her inside and closed the door behind him before he uncovered her eyes. Doris

immediately felt at a loss for words.

William brought her to a nursery meant for their baby. A crib sat in the middle of the room that was

splashed with golds and white. A dresser, a changing table, toys and more filled the area and looked

ready for a baby to be in there now, even though they still had many months to go before it would arrive.

(This will be daily updtaed at www.jar.com) “Oh my…” Doris whispered as she stepped

further in the room. Her fingers lightly touched the wood of the crib as she approached it. “It’s…

William… It’s beautiful…”

She turned to look up at him. His blue eyes looked calm and happy as he watched for her reaction. No

hint of storms or worry clouded his gaze. “I thought we could add more color to it once the baby arrives

—” He scratched the back of his head. “You can change whatever you want in here if you don’t like it. I

just wanted you to see the place I had made for our baby.”

“You did all of this?” Doris whispered. She cursed herself silently to not get choked up, she already cried

several times just today. But somehow, she still had more tears ready to pour out. “I had it all made.”

William cleared his throat. “I know it might not be the best—“

“William.” Doris placed her hand on his chest. She could feel his heart bang against her palm. “I wouldn’t

change a thing about this room. It’s beautiful. I can’t believe… you did all this. I didn’t think you would

have time since we got back,” William brushed her hair behind her ears and cupped her cheeks. “You

and that baby are a hundred times more important to me than that crown. Don’t ever think differently.”

Doris gripped his shirt and pulled him against her. She kissed him with every ounce of love in her heart.

When she pulled away, she took a long breath. “Take me to our room. I want to kiss every inch of you

until sunrise tomorrow.”

A glint of lust flickered in his eyes as he lifted her up into his arms. He carried her out of their baby’s

room and right into their own where he locked it tight behind him. No one would dare bother a king on a

mission

Doris kissed his face, his jaw and his neck as he brought her to the bed. “If only I was tall, I could kiss

you up here all day long.” “I like you being small and mighty.” William grinned as he dropped her on the

bed and immediately crawled on top of her. Their clothes were gone in just a few heavy breaths and

scattered across the room like they were nothing. She made good on her promise and kissed every inch

of him before he did the same to her. He dragged his tongue along her skin and marked every place that

he owned with a bite and a kiss to render it. When he kissed her stomach, it was the only place he was

soft and gentle with. She ran her fingers through his hair as her caressed the delicate skin of her

stomach. They came together as one and didn’t care who heard their earth shattering moans. He wanted

the world to hear his name on her lips so they knew who’s heart he owned. William pushed inside her

until their sweaty bodies were worn and exhausted but still craved more. Her ring shined even in the

darkness and it was hard to take her eyes off of. “I love you.” William said against her lips before he

kissed her again. (This will be daily updtaed at www.jar.com)”I love you, my king.” Doris

gasped when he finally let her come up for air. They held each other all night and knew that the

beginning of their lives together had only just started. There was so much pain and trouble around the

corner for them, but they knew they could handle it if they were together. And nothing had ever make her

happier.
