Her eyes fluttered open. “Won’t you tell me what hurts you?” She shook her head. “Then why do you call out for me in your sleep with tears in your eyes?” She hiccupped and buried her face in my neck.
I felt an unknown fear creep into my gut and pushed it aside. “I command you to tell me what is wrong.” She opened her mouth to tell me more of the same but I was beyond that.
“This is your king speaking, not your lover. Now tell me.”
“I’m just feeling a bit melancholy my lord. It’s nothing.” I knew she was keeping something from me but the pleading look in her eyes held me back from pushing, though I made a silent vow to get to the truth of it before long.
I let her have her way for now and just loosened the ribbon at her throat, pushing the soft silk of her nightdress aside. I kissed the place between her titties and taking her hand, led it to my painfully throbbing cock. If I couldn’t get her to open to me one way, maybe this will take some of the sadness from her eyes.
I licked her flesh before taking her plump nipple between my teeth. Her hand’s movements sped up on my rod and my little wanton lifted one of her knees and opened her legs in invitation. I swallowed her cries of need and teased her cunny lips with my fingertips but did not go in.
I made her beg me, my way of punishing her for not being truthful with me. I’m going to have to deal with that soon, but for now she was still too vulnerable for me to show her my wrath, or to deal with her in the way I deal with others.
The truth was, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Anyone else I would already have the truth, but with her, I shied away from my usual tactics, and I was afraid I knew why that was. It’s because she was the most precious thing in my kingdom. I’d turned into a sodding arse like Nicholas.
I pulled my cock from her warm hand and gave her my mouth the way she liked. Lifting her arse in my hands I brought her sweet smelling cunny to my face and danced my tongue into her slowly, drawing out her juices while she writhed and moaned, whatever had been bothering her, long forgotten.
I spent much time loving her with my tongue and fingers until my cock fair cried out for release. She drew me up her body with wild hands and I pushed her knees back to her ears and drove into her.
I was barely in time to catch her cry in my mouth, lest someone heard her and came running. “Shh, this place is not as secure as the palace you must not make a sound or else I will stop.” The way she grabbed my arse and dug her nails in told me she did not want that. I bit her lip leaving a bit of a mark as I fucked her wet cunny for all it was worth, wringing more screams from her, all of which I swallowed.
Chapter 15
King Julian
***
The next morn she seemed much recovered as we set out on our way to our destination. She laughed with her maid on the way, and the sound did much to lighten my mood. Until one of the dandies found himself riding next to her for a spell. I could’ve killed the sod, but promised myself instead to plan a joust once we reached our destination if only so I could knock his arse from his horse.
When he made her laugh I gritted my teeth and near strangled my poor horse pulling on his reins too tightly. I only calmed down once he rode away, and by then we were mere minutes from the hunting lodge where I planned to keep her hidden for at least a fortnight before moving onto my winter palace where the rest of my court would meet.
This trip though I had not planned it as such, had come to serve another purpose as well. Those courtiers, who had not been chosen to attend, were more likely than not wondering if they had lost favor with their king. It was well for them to worry for a spell, let them wonder, if they were so inclined, if I were onto any little plots and schemes in the making.
We reached the manse and were met by the servants awaiting our arrival. Once again the men were ready for their cups of ale but I pretended to have urgent business of some kind only to follow her up the stairs and dismiss her servants and mine.
“My lord?” She said questioningly as I advanced upon her. Her eyes widened as I stalked her across the room and she backed away. I reached her in two steps and without a word ripped her riding habit in twain. Flinging the shreds aside I pulled her to me and took her down to the rug on the floor.
