Mated Enemies

Lucien

If I force her she’d probably hate me for the rest of her life, and that’s something I could never bear. I know only too well how it feels to be at the end of that shit, having someone dogging your heels when you have no interest. Will I become like that now? Will this be my life?

Hell no, I refuse to believe that she can be that indifferent to me. She hadn’t been when I had her pressed up against that tree, but that was physical. Her horny ass nymph would hump that very tree if she were in the mood. I want more.

What the hell is wrong with my thinking? Since when had I become this hump? When you took one look at her bare ass naked going into the water. Oh yeah! Was that only yesterday? I was tempted to call my parents and whine but that made me sound like too much of a little bitch so I benched the idea.

I was making myself crazy and knew I had to go back. As dangerous as it was, being there with her was better than this, this might lead to me doing some harmful shit to her or someone else. I have enough control to leave when shit gets to be too much. Hadn’t I proven that earlier?

I sat there souping myself up, convincing myself that it was okay to return to her side even

after that very close call. The clock was running out though and I really don’t have much of a choice. At least I’d found a way in with the cardinal. Wonder how she’s handling his disappearance?

I ended up heading downstairs with the rest after I heard them return to kill some time until well into the night. The house seemed a bit fuller than before I left and I called Vespasian over to my side covertly while his brothers and cousins were busy playing billiards on my two hundred year old table.

“What’s going on? Why are our uncles here?” He cleared his throat and looked down at his folded hands.

“Some of the others thought that maybe it would be best. I don’t know what the elders were thinking, and grandfather too. They know that since you outrank all of us it won’t be easy for us to get you to do our bidding. But since the uncles are older…”

He looked at me sheepishly. “What exactly did our grandfather say?” He looked around behind him like he was telling state secrets or some shit. “Well at first he wanted us to bring you home, but the elders talked him out of it. He’s afraid that something might go wrong and he already has the Magi looking into ways to cure you if… you know…”

“So the old man thinks I’m going to lose my mind.”

“Not necessarily, I think he just doesn’t want to take any chances after the last time. It was his son that was lost after all.” I turned the glass of cognac in my hand and studied it as I let his words sink in.

“And now?”

“Well since the elders convinced him that it was better to let you try with your mate, he decided to send the uncles here as backup. They’re not going to get in your way, they’re just here in case…”

“Got it. You go on and play I’ll sit here for a while then I have somewhere to go.”

None of them approached me but I knew they were very aware of my presence in the room. It’s the same reason my parents had gone into hiding. There can be no interference at this time, it’s like letting your kid ride his bike without training wheels for the first time. You just let him go and watch as you hope for the best.

That and the fact that mom would lose her shit and try to stand in the way. Any suggestion that I might be hurt, that I may not come out of this thing unscathed and she’d battle the whole sky clan to protect her baby boy. That reminds me of Natalia and the way she’d called out for her mom who never answered. Had her parents been ordered to stay away as well?

That would make sense, since they’re under our rule it would make sense for the elders to step in and give them orders to stay put until the deed is done. No doubt they’re also terrified for their daughter. What a mess.

The sun had been down for hours and I still sat there alone in the dark. I’d left the others long ago for some peace and quiet and to keep my head clear. I’d already decided on my next course of action and had peeked in on her once to see what she was doing.

It’s more like I couldn’t help myself. Her lure was already that strong and we hadn’t even fucked yet, I can’t wait to see how this shit plays out after. As much as I fear what might go wrong, there’s a part of me that’s excited. This is my engagement after all. Though instead of a ring all she’ll get is a hard cock and a sore twat; the rings will come later.
