Eona smiled sleepily as she sat up in her soft linen bed, stretching. She had slept well last night. With Kygo as emperor, things had calmed down. The door slid open to reveal a muscular figure, a man standing in the doorway with a smirk on his lips.

"Lady Eona~" He sang softly, approaching the bed slowly. Eona's smile widened, blood rushing to her cheeks.

"Lord Ido… aren't you supposed to be away?" She asked, daring to hide her excitement to see him from him. It had been a year since she and Ido became one, both in body and in soul. Their wedding ceremony was a mere week away. Ido was supposed to be in the Easter Plains, helping the villagers and towns with the destruction of the mourning dragons. But somehow he had returned early. And that made Eona extremely happy.

"I finished early. The thought of you sleeping alone made hurry. It's never good to leave such a beautiful lady alone with such hungry men."

Eona suddenly frowned, crossing her arms with a sigh, "Kygo is not interested in me, nor is he hungry for me. We are mere companions."

"Eona, don't be foolish. I see the way he looks at you."

The Mirror Dragoneye rolled her eyes at her betrothed. Ido sat on the edge of the bed, his beloved crawling across their bed to meet him. He smiled and held her closely, the girl breathing in his orange and vanilla scent.

"Miss me?"

"Mmm.."

Ido chuckled softly and pressed his lips against Eona's collar, causing the Dragoneye to breath out softly.

"My lord..." Eona breathed, tilting her head back for him, the male dipping lower, leaving a trail of soft kisses down her neck. He reached the edge of her cloth, his movements pausing.

"How much?" Ido asked, tugging her cloth down further to expose her chest. Eona's breathing quickened, blood in her cheeks.

"N-no.. not until.. our wedding night..." She begged, pushing against him to attempt to stop him. They had seen each other unclothed many times in the past, they even bathed together, but they had never laid together.

"Must you make me wait?" Ido sounded impatient, glaring at his future wife. Eona nodded slowly, her eyes revealing her own desire and guilt.

Ido sighed loudly, letting go of his wife to allow her to dress. She watched him climb off of the bed, biting her lip at the way his muscles rolled under his tunic.

"If you could avert your eyes, beloved. You're making it very hard not to take you now." He commented, Eona quickly looking down in embarrassment. She couldn't help but admire the man she once despised, but now that she thought about it, the way she treated him previously, it was horrible. Guilt racked her chest. She had apologized to him on multiple occasions. And he would always answer her with a soft kiss.

"Sorry." She quickly muttered.

Ido snickered, turning to face her, "A week then."

"A week..." She repeated with a shy smile. Ido's smile became a smirk as he quickly crossed the room to press his lips against hers, earning a soft purr from Eona's lips.

"I love you, Mirror Dragoneye."

"I love you... Rat Dragoneye."
