*smut warning*In the morning my heart was broken. The snow had continued to fall and still showed no signs of stopping. This led me to sitting in one of the old wooden chairs by the window trying to soak up as much sunlight as possible. There wasn't much natural light that was able to stream in at the current angle.And despite the foot of snow at the door Caliban had gone out to hunt again leaving me alone in the cabin with nothing more than the sound of crackling wood in the new fire he'd set before leaving.Boredom got the best of me and I was back to ransacking the little kitchenette and closet for whatever I could find. Looking with the dim morning light this time I found some assorted teas, so I set about making a pot.Back home I had servants who did all of this for me and it reflected on my skills now. I had no idea what I was doing and hoped I knew just enough to make something drinkable.The smell of leaves and herbs told me there was a ginseng and chamomile mix. It was the
"Did you do anything useful for your family?" he ridiculed all while keeping his eyes on the fire. I glared at his back hoping he could feel the daggers I was sending his way and I suddenly began to feel very warm."Besides spread my legs and make flower crowns, right?" I sassed back. "Oh, sorry that you captured a useless princess, your majesty." Ilaced my voice which as much venom as I could as I sneered out his title."Indeed," he grunted.Red swarmed in my eyes and without a second to question my actions I flung my empty tea glass at the back of Caliban's head. It shattered and he whirled around with a curse. His eyes were glowing gold as he glared at me.I held my position on the edge of the bed ready to throw the next thing within reach and he sat lurched in his chair ready to fight back.The air was crackling with the sound of the roaring fire and the afternoon light was fading as the sun disappeared early due to the storm outside.Images of the night in the cave flashed behind
Before I could second guess myself and cover my chest, the king was moving up my body and placing his hot mouth on my breast. A cry left my lips as his tongue pressed against one sensitive bud and a strong hand grasped the other. His tongue flicked over my nipple and his hand kneaded the soft mound of my other plump breast.Without a second thought I wrapped my legs around his midsection and lifted my hips to grind myself against him gasping at the need to relieve the ache between my legs."Eager for my filthy shadow elf cock, are you?" He mocked before biting my nipple. I cried out and rocked against him again as electricity spread over my skin and his tongue laved over my nipple to ease the ache from his bite."Your cock is hard for a sun elf whore," I scoffed."That it is," his gruff voice growled, and I felt it in my bones as he continued to bite and lick across my breasts and up my neck. The bites were so hard I knew I'd see marks from his teeth in the morning. It didn't matter a
"What is that?" Caliban traced lazy patterns across my back form where he was laying on the bed. I was sitting up and had the story book in my hands."A book I found while snooping through the cabin. It's a collection of Thanaten stories," I sighed and leaned back onto the bed into his arms."Let me see it." He held out his hand and I have the book over. After flipping through the legible pages, the king gave me the book back. "It's a children's book. Common to find in every household. I'm not surprised they have one here.""The beasts in these stories, are they all real?" My heart dropped into my stomach thinking about the monsters in this book."In some form or other they are. Gwathendor is a much deadlier place than Laernear, little flower." Caliban's free hand played with a stray curl of my hair."So, if I were to run away in the night?""One of the beasts in this book might find you before I do." His tone was emotionless, but I knew it was a warning more than a threat.."Would yo
When Caliban had filled the tub of fresh hot water, I was eager to submerge myself, but waited impatiently on the bed as I expected him to wash up first."Are you coming?" I heard his deep voice call out and a shock ran through me. Despite what we had already done an intense blush was spreading across my face.The shadow king was already in the copper tub with his arms resting on the ledge. When I appeared in the doorway his glowering eyes roved up and down my body and he leaned his head back like a man enjoying a piece of art. I didn't know what to think or feel when he looked at me that way."It saves time and water if we bathe at the same time." One long finger flicked the surface and the water and sent ripples along the soapy contents. Biting my lower lip, I nodded my head and took the few steps to the tub.At first, I lowered myself into the steaming water at the opposite side of the tub, but Caliban was quick to reach forward and grab my arm. He pulled he through the water and s
The shadow king left me alone in the cabin so long that I had collapsed on the bed after hours of crying my heart out. My tears fell for my family and the life behind me. I didn't think I would ever see them again and now I was worrying over my future and my actions with the Thanaten king. Sleep took me away and by the time the sun was shining over me through the window Caliban was back. At first, I'd tensed in the bed seeing him sitting at the table watching the dying embers in the fireplace. He must have heard what I thought was a silent gasp because he spoke seconds later. "Get ready to leave." And then he was up and out the door again. This time I could hear him outside at the shed where he'd left Abaddon the other night when the snowstorm had begun. Swallowing hard and rubbing the sleep from my eyes I shakily got up from the bed. Despite sleeping through the night, the crying had left me so drained I wondered if I could've slept for days. After a meager breakfast of leftover d
"It is gratifying to hear I distract you enough to have you off your guard." Leaning back into his chest I heard him inhale sharply."Flower, you have no idea just how much you distract me." His hand snuck up from my waist and brushed against my breast. "Having that round ass pressed against me while we ride is torture.""I'm not exactly bereaved to know you suffer, your majesty." My voice turned breathy as his large hand massaged my breasts."Hmm, am I to assume that I have no distracting effect on you then?" When his hand flew between my legs to cup my heat I gasped audibly. Even with the layers I was wearing it was hard to ignore his touch and the warmth it brought."None at all. More of a nuisance than anything." But my head was full of clouds and my skin was buzzing with the energy blooming inside of my body. Some little voice in my head screamed that reacting in this way at Caliban's touch was obscene. Yet my entire body was shamelessly aroused at the barest touch.Visible light
The third day would undoubtably be the worst. Conversation was relaxed but minimal. My thighs and bottom hurt from days of riding in the saddle and Caliban's rough treatment at night.My saving grace was the great quantity of sunlight I was exposed to as the forest thinned out and the thick copse of trees became increasingly sparse the further north we traveled. Although the sun's rays only went so far to fight off the frigid cold."What do you know of the Thanaten capital?" Caliban questioned."Nothing, really." I shrugged and jut my lower lip in a pout I knew he couldn't see."We'll be there around sundown." An uneasy chill crept over me at the thought. Some old instinct in my bones wanted me to be afraid of whatever I was going to see when we arrived. Or maybe I was scared of my future still.Following the last argument, I had done my best to push those fears to the back of my mind and not even consider bringing it up again.After rutting with the king in the woods last night as th
