As long as someone was willing to help me put an end to this farce I was glad. I’ve been trying since the news broke to get his own parents to see the danger of the two of them being together, using the same incident from the past as leverage and pretending to only be concerned for their dear son’s wellbeing, but to no avail.
The sky monarch had forbidden anyone to even mention the mating until after it was all said and done. Meanwhile the eternal palace was being made ready for the day of the nuptials. Lucien’s wing was even now being renovated lavishly for him to welcome his new wife.
The high hall was being meticulously decorated for the wedding of a high immortal and I’d heard the sky monarch say that no expense must be spared; that only the best of all the universe had to offer would be accepted.
They’d refused my help even, and had closed off the hall and anything having to do with the wedding from all but the sky monarch and his son and daughter in law. It’s the first time I’ve seen them so excited about anything since the day Lucien passed the last test that secured his position as heir.
“I want to see her…”
“No mistress you know it’s too risky. Why don’t we wait until she arrives here? There’s still so much we can do. Remember she’s just a fairy she’ll be weaker than you. We can try all the things we’ve done before, it always works.”
Her hurried words helped calm me down enough to think rationally again but the pain was still raw. I felt that slight madness touch the edges of my mind again. It’s been happening more and more of late but I knew once I took care of this latest issue things would go back to normal again.
I wasn’t worried that the madness that had assailed both my parents coming onto the end was somehow now affecting me. “Tell her to keep an eye on them, not to miss anything, I want to know everything.”
“That might be a little bit harder going forward.”
I looked over at her sharply. “Why is that?”
“Well, his royal highness saw her…”
“He what?” Why didn’t you tell me this before? this is a disaster.” I jumped to my feet feeling cornered and panicked.
“It’s okay mistress, it’s okay, shh, shh.” She walked me to my bed on shaky legs.
“No one knows that you’re the one who sent her there. And if they should ever find out remember, we’re prepared for that as well. It was my idea, I’m the one who did it behind your back because I felt you were being wronged.”
Once again her words helped soothe me. She might be way beneath me as one of the serving class, but she’s never ceased to aid me in my time of need. There’s nothing she won’t do for me and I keep it that way by feeding her mindless drivel of useless praise. Words that only a fool would believe as she’s proven herself to be countless times in the past. But for someone to do my bidding no matter how dark, no one else comes close.
I looked at her now as I felt the last of my hope dwindle away. “We’ll get her when she comes here won’t we?” She nodded her head and ran her hand over my hair as I rested my head on her shoulder feeling listless and dejected.
Lucien
I fought to stay awake even though it was that time of night when I’d usually be up and about. But being close to her and having to keep myself in check had put a strain on me that was emotionally taxing.
I thought for sure I’d be bored out of my mind laying there next to her for a whole night, having to keep myself under control, but nothing could be further from the truth. I wasn’t expecting the smorgasbord of delights I got to enjoy just from having her in my arms.
She’s a restless little thing, each time I think she’s settled she’d start moving all over again; something I’ll have to look out for once she shares my bed since her knees seem to like gravitating to my balls. Knowing her schizo ass she’s probably doing it subconsciously.
If her constant rubbing up against me wasn’t torture enough, her scent was my own personal aphrodisiac, it clouded my senses and made it damn near impossible to stay in the bed with her. And once she settled down her soft weight on my chest felt familiar, almost as if it belonged there. When her body finally relaxed in the last throes of sleep, that’s when the fun really started.
I thought her constant tossing and turning was going to do me in, but I’m not sure that’s not preferable to her soft warmth cuddled up to me. All it would take is me turning to her, putting her on her back and sliding… Fuck!
I caught myself just as I was about to put my thoughts into action. Is she for real? I looked down at her sleeping face not quiet believing that she could sleep through this shit. If she sleeps this strong I can just fuck her while she’s asleep, get the job done. You’re an ass Lucien; go to sleep.
It took a while but after I worked through the agonizing pain of having her this close and having to fight my natural urge to take what’s rightfully mine, the night didn’t turn out nearly as bad as I’d half expected it would.
I spent most of it taking sneak peeks into her past, barely grazing her mind with a touch as soft as a butterfly’s wings so as not to disturb her. I saw glimpses of her childhood of her life before me. The happy carefree being she always was. And the more I saw the more enthralled I became with the woman who was to be my wife, my mate for life.
She’s different from anyone I’ve everyone I’ve ever known in the past, her brand of sweet and innocent mixed with sultry siren was bound to keep me on my toes for years to come. Each peek into her life was a paradox that sometimes left me laughing out of control and others left my dick hard enough to break steel.
Even the room we were in told yet another story of her life with the many photos and knickknacks she had all over the place. Here it was clear to see the many different aspects of her multiple personalities. There was some little thing scattered here and there that represented some part of all she was made up of.
But there was a touch of sadness hidden in the furthest recesses of her mind. A sadness that it was obvious she tried very hard to hide from those around her. I didn’t see the source of this sadness but promised myself that I would erase it in time.
I kissed her brow as a warmth I’ve never known assailed me. I knew and accepted the feeling for what it was and for the first time in my life did not begrudge sharing part of my inner being with another.
I had no fear of opening myself up and letting her in, because she’s the only one due that, the only one deserving of having all of me. I was doubly pleased that she was someone I could truly feel for, and not just because of our fate, but because of who she was.
So far everything that I’d seen about her has endeared her to me, and though I know part of that is because she was predestined to be mine, that has nothing to do with the part of me that I’ve always been able to keep reserved, well out of reach of others.
The fact that she had already made her way there past my defenses and under my guard made me more determined than ever to give her as much time as I safely could until she came to terms with our ordeal. She didn’t have much of a choice after all and my ego wouldn’t allow me to have it any other way. I’ll be damned if I’m going to be the only one in love.
I realized as that thought settled in my mind that that was part of the reason I could withstand the hell of being close to her like this without losing my shit. As strong as I am physically, my mind has always been stronger. I’ve always been able to use to control things around me, and now was no different.
