Serena

I sauntered out of the king’s chamber as fast as my shaking legs could take me. I could feel the moistness of my underwear as I walked. It was uncomfortable. It was awkward. It literally felt like I just stuffed a soaked roll of tissue in between my thighs with how crazily wet it felt down there.

Elijah for sure noticed my discomfort and the wet spot on my dress. I didn’t care to cover it up. At that moment, I was too conscious of the king’s presence; too shaken up with what he had just done and what I had actually allowed him to do.

One moment, we were discussing how to rid us of the mark and another moment, he was sniffing me out, gradually licking the outer layer of my underwear and eventually sucking my clit despite the obstruction, and I just lay there whimpering and enjoying his treatment.

Oh god…

Yes, it was a euphoric moment, granted it was my first time to be ever done so by a man; but I also would like to credit the king’s skills with his mouth. He was confident; unashamed. His tongue licked me like I was the best damn ice cream in his kingdom. I’m unsure even if they have this coldly sweet food in here.

As crazy as it sounded, I would have given in to his ministrations; would have given in to the sensations if it wasn’t for the interruption.

I was thankful for the crown prince though. It was both our wake up call. We were both horny, I knew that now, but that didn’t mean I was going to offer myself up easily and be dined by a werewolf king who had long time hated women.

Whatever happened to him earlier, I was sure he was not in his right mind. Or if he was in his right mind, he could just be acting. I don’t know… I couldn’t say. This man was as complicated as the DNA structure of the human body.

Before facing Rhea, I took a deep breath to calm the erratic beating of my heart. My arousal was still there; my clit was still swelling with the need to be sucked harder and my core still aching to be filled by something hard and long, but I had to control it; forget about it, else I’d turn myself into a fool in front of my new-found friend.

“How are you, Your Highness?” Rhea, with her elegant charm, smiled at me. Standing near a stone statue of a wolf in a full howl, she waited as I neared her.

I gave her a lopsided smile then.

“Really? Are you going to call me ‘that’ now?”

She grinned and pointed her eyes to every corner of the grand hallway. “Well, we’re in your palace so yeah.”

I shook my head. “Seriously, I prefer to be called by my name. ‘Your Highness’ just sounds so…flashy.”

I grabbed her arm and pulled her for an embrace. “Great to see you here, Rhea.”

She patted my back and whispered, “Thank you for keeping your word, Serena.”

As we withdrew, I sighed and smiled at her again. “I only provided a way out, it was you who took the initiative to leave the place.”

My clear memory of her stepping up in the presence of Lord Hale and saving herself was something to be admired about. I guess Elijah felt the same way for he was quick to offer her salvation.

“I’m worried about the others though,” I expressed, lowering my vision to the floor. There were still so many women to be saved; so many who were scared and hoping for a miracle. I couldn’t help but think I could have rescued them if I wasn’t incapacitated. The King of Phanteon was already there. Surely, he could be persuaded to take them too.

‘Oh no, don’t get your hopes up,’ my mind pointed out. Well, yes, maybe I was barking at the wrong tree. King Aero, knowing him now, would never do that.

“Unfortunately, while you were ill, almost all of them were already persuaded,” Rhea declared, cutting my train of thought. A pang of disappointment passed through me. I guess that’s the end of my self-imposed mission.

“Seeing as how quickly the vampires in the castle were working, I immediately volunteered to take care of you. That way, I could avoid them,” she added.

Feeling at ease, I sighed. “You were right to do so, Rhea. I’d do the same if I were in your shoes.” Still conscious of my attire, I started walking. “Care to accompany me to my chamber?” I asked.

She grinned at me and said, “Sure. Prince Elijah said you needed directions to that place.”

I gave her a sheepish smile. “Yeah, it felt like just yesterday when I became the queen of this kingdom. I hadn’t basically acquainted myself with the castle walls and corners.”

“Right,” she winked at me. “We literally have the same dilemma.”

Surprisingly, we didn’t stroll that long when we reached my chamber. I’m unsure if this room existed a long time ago and was designed to be literally just some short steps away from the king’s, but yeah, I felt it doable. A woman needs her personal space from time to time anyway.

In our case though, this chamber would provide both of us a breather. King Aero didn’t want me in his bed in the first place while I…well, let’s say I’m flexible to anything. I’d be a hypocrite to act all meek when it came to bedding arrangements. Though it was already clear nothing below the belt would happen, I had already expected we’d be sharing a bed sooner or later just to keep up appearances. Our recent…uhm…encounter this morning could be called as just a state of weakness—well, at least for me since I easily gave in to his…tongue.

As for him? He was an unreadable prick so I choose not to give myself a headache thinking about his actions earlier. One thing was for sure though, he was a damn horny dog and he was dreaming about me.

Back to reality, Rhea was thoughtful enough not to ask about the wet splotch on my dress and she was sensitive enough not to look at it the whole time we strolled inside my chamber.

Honestly excited with the interior of the room, I opened the double doors myself and gawked at the sight that greeted me. True enough, this place was fit for royalty. Like the king’s, the room was spacious, well-lit with magnificent lights, and the decors were almost gilded and intricately designed. A touch of femininity was what set it apart from the king’s chamber and I liked it. The aura almost felt like my own room back on Earth. I felt at home immediately.

The bedroom was separated from the main living space. Inside, I was astounded to see how big the mattress was. Yes, the size was the same as the king’s and was lined with the same rich cloth. The whole bed frame was accented with sweeping sheer drapes all the way up to the ceiling. It almost looked like a scene from a princess’s slumber party.

And the ceiling…oh the ceiling. It was surprisingly roofed with clear glass panels. The blue sky welcomed me with the promise of a beautiful morning in this kingdom. I was pleased. I could only imagine what this bedroom would look like in the evening where the moon would indeed smile down at me.

“When the king took you and left in a blink of an eye, I honestly got scared, but then I remembered his brother was still with me,” Rhea informed whilst I entered the rosy-tiled bathroom. Fit for a queen, it was of enormous size. There was a medium-sized pool in one corner and a shower room that I could only see in high-end magazines. Another doorway led to the walk-in closet and this was where I entered while Rhea followed me.

“Prince Elijah,” I chirped over my shoulder. I saw the faint blush of her face on the mirror wall.

“He…he was so accommodating and helpful.”

“Yeah, very,” I chuckled when I remembered my experience with him on my first day in Phanteon. “Did he mention something about returning you home?”

“I’m not sure he did…” she trailed off.

Watching her on the mirror again, I noticed the cloud of confusion in her eyes. For a strong woman like her, she actually looked somewhat unsure now.

I gave her time to collect her words and decided to skim through the variety of clothes in the closet. Choosing a gown with the color white—my favorite color—I pulled it out from the batch and examined it: sweetheart neckline, ankle-length, long-sleeves, no ruffles, no heavy beadwork. Good. It was simple and exactly my taste.

“Uhm, Serena, can I ask you something?” Rhea began when I started to change in front of her.

“Sure, what is it?” I voiced out from under the cloth.

“I’ve been studying our history and traditions on Earth for almost two decades. The pyramids in Egypt, the great battle in Waterloo, the French Revolution, Manchu Picchu to name a few. I…I am bound to be bored sometimes.”

I wasn’t sure where she was going so I just remained silent and continued to listen whilst I fixed myself up in front of the mirror.

“Uhm…is it wrong for me to say I’m fascinated with this world and the people living in it so I…I wish to stay?”

Oh, dear… I didn’t see that coming.
