Love or Hate?
Tuon Rocks
Mat sat on his bed, fuming. How dare that woman publicly humiliate him like that. They had been making an announcement , when suddenly Tuon had called him Toy. She knew that she could only call him that in private. Oh that woman made him so mad. But every time he thought of her he saw a smiling face with all the beauty of the Light, and whenever she smiled he wanted to just forgive her of everything, and yet he knew he could not.
The door opened, and the very image of beauty and his hate waltzed into the room. "What were you thinking Tuon?"
"I was thinking that it has been so long since I had a little fun, and I just had to see that look on your face that you get when you are furious."
"Either way Tuon, you know better than I that there is a certain amount of customs that we have to uphold, and public displays of affection are one of the most serious. I should have your eyes lowered for this."
"The Empress can't have her eyes lowered Toy. What would ever make you think of such of thing?"
"Tuon I've had it. You are going to sit down right now and tell me you are sorry, and I don't want to hear one peep out of you for the rest of the night."
For once Tuon looked shocked. "Okay Toy, I am sorry. Now, you have to do something for me."
"Yeah? What's that?"
"You have to kiss me, and then we must make love, for I need a child to succeed me, and tonight seems to be perfect for it."
Mat was shocked. Could he really have heard what he thought he just heard. Well, might as well. He bent down and wrapped his arms around Tuon and brought his lips to hers. By the time he pulled away they were both gasping for breath, but Tuon wore a small smile.
"Now for the second part of our agreement."
