A/N: This is one of the new stories I'm posting, and I will admit that this story was totally unexpected. It's a Naveen/Tiana/Kabir story and I promise that it will not disappoint. Well, at least I hope it doesn't. It's as AU as it gets and can get dark at times, but also pretty fluffy. This first chapter is like an introduction so it's pretty long (I combined three short chapters together) with enough drama, romance, angst so enjoy!

The Manipulative Happiness Of May & December

For Her Father

"All right babycakes! How does this look? Shrimp gumbo with andouille sausage!" Head royal chef James asked, showing his daughter the creation he just finished.

"Oh daddy it looks swell!" Tiana saw the dinner her father created on the beautifully emerald shaded gold printed bowls the king of Maldonia requested for tonight's dinner.

"It's my old friend's favourite!" he said proudly, setting the bowls on the cart. "Can you handle got those pralines?"

"Mmhmm!" Tiana set the large shield bowl onto the cart along with the rest of the food they as well as the other cooks prepared.

James made sure to look over everything before nodding in approval. "Perfect! Everything looks good, everybody!"

The cooks all applaud their head chef for another successful evening in the kitchen. They all respected the man and enjoyed working for him since he and Tiana moved into the royal palace almost thirteen years ago, when Tiana was only five.

"Everything looks swell, James!" said Janice, a friend of his who was from Chicago.

"Thank you Ms. Janice," James nodded and looked over at his daughter, "Go put on clean apron, babycakes."

Tiana didn't question her father and did as she was told. She understood wanting to look presentable for the royal family, but then again the king and her father were very good friends.

"They've seen us with filthy aprons before," she said, low enough for only her father to hear.

"I know but don't you want to look nice for his highness's birthday? The queen will also be there and if you want to be head chef someday you will have to follow the first rule," James explained.

"And what's that?" she asked.

"Always look presentable," he said. "Who wants to eat from someone who looks less worthy than a hobo on the streets?"

Tiana sighed.

"Tiana..."

She looked up a her father.

He smiled. "You're a beauty girl and I don't want you to miss out on any opportunities."

"Such as?" She asked with a half smile.

He kissed her on the forehead. "Let's go..."

"Everything looks delicoucsa!" King Kabir stared at all the food before him. "Especially my gumbo!"

"Thank you, your majesty," James bowed.

Tiana was so focused on the next meal she wanted to prepare that she didn't see when her father showed his respect for the king.

King Kabir chuckled at her. "And your beautiful daughter is calculating on the next meal she'll help prepare with you I'm assuming?"

James turned his head to see Tiana in her own world. "Tiana!"

She closed her eyes, embarrassed "I'm sorry your majesty."

"No need for apologies!" he laughed. "If my eldest son were here he would certainly get a laugh out of this."

"Naveen would rather be in school then to participate in any royal parties or dinners," Nagina added.

Tiana didn't know much about the prince to say anything other then what she heard about him. Very irresponsible and spending up the family's money. Never working a day of his life. And will have the throne handed to him someday.

"Your father mentioned you wanting to be a chef," Nagina said with a soft smile.

"Yes, ma'am...um, madam," Tiana responded, making the guests laugh.

"How charming," Nagina smiled. "Do you know what I want from you, dear?"

Tiana listened on.

"To have a tutor!"

"Excuse me?" she asked, puzzled by what the queen said.

"You don't need to live your life away by doing man's work in the kitchen! I will make you my personal girl! Like a daughter. Dress up in the finest gowns, learn how act like a princess! Would you like that?" Nagina asked.

Tiana was about to decline but her father interrupted.

"She would like that very much, your majesty?" James said for his daughter.

"Daddy!" she frowned at him.

"Very well. Starting tomorrow morning my ladies will bring you to me and we'll begin from there!" Nagina said, almost beaming. "By the time we leave for our trip next month you'll be polished enough to meet wonderful nobles of your age. Perhaps a certain prince..."

"Dear, we really shouldn't do that!" Kabir suggested.

"She's much too pretty to be in that kitchen! And James is a friend of ours!" Nagina added. "He is like a brother..."

Kabir grunted in annoyance. "Oh go on with it! But no more interruptions! I'd like to finish my dinner before the next sunrise!"

The next morning Tiana was taken from her tiny chambers to a much larger one where some of Nagina's ladies began working on her appearance.

"Your hands are very rough," one of the women said.

"She's been cooking with her father her entire life, Kathin!" said a woman with orange hair.

Tiana rolled her eyes as the woman applied lotion on her hand.

"We will teach you how to act like a proper young lady!" an older woman scolded

"How old are you, child?" a woman with jet black hair asked.

"Seventeen," Tiana answered.

"Very young and perfect for our prince, yes?" the jet black hair woman smiled.

"His highness is eighteen. Soon to be nineteen by the end of the year!" Kathin added. "Of course she's perfect for him!"

"That is if he wants to settle with one woman!" the jet black hair woman said.

"Marguerite, the king himself isn't the most fateful man!"

"True, but he is king. He can do whatever he wants!"

"Are we sure that marrying this young girl off to the prince is the best idea for her? She isn't of royal blood and could easily get heartbroken..." Maguerite reminded.

"Nonsense Marguerite! We are the queens ladies for our ways of turning commoner girls into ladies of high society. Tiana could be what the prince needs..." Kathin began.

Tiana sighed; hating that she had to endure listening to the women go on and on about the prince before moving on to even more boring topics of the royal family for the next four hours.

After all the primping, tucking, poking and scrubbing Tiana stood in front of the mirror to look at her reflection and was shocked to see the woman before her.

"Oh you're stunning!" Kathlin beamed. "The queen will be pleased!"

"Your father will be just as proud!" Marguerite also beamed, locking her arm with hers. "Let us show the queen the new you!"

Tiana stayed silent all the way through the long walk between her new chambers and the queen's chambers.

Nagina covered her mouth with her hands when she saw Tiana. "You look beautiful!"

"Thank you, your majesty," Tiana curtsied.

"And your posture is perfect. It usually takes girls a month or two to perfect it!" Nagina beamed. "You must have dinner with the family tonight! Your father will be very proud."

Tiana mentally groaned in annoyance. Why would she want her father to be proud of how she look? It didn't make any sense. The only compliment she wanted was for her cooking!

When they arrived at the dining hall she was complimented again but this time by the king himself.

"You are the diamond of the room tonight, my dear," he eyed her.

Nagina raised her brow knowingly.

"Thank you, your majesty!" Tiana curtsied.

Kabir walked over to take her hand. "Very nice...your hand is as soft as a princess."

Tiana felt awkward by his behavior just as her father and other cooks walked into the room with dinner.

"Tiana, is that you?" James asked, surprised.

Tiana had to smile at her father's reaction. It was very cute. As the king let her g she walked over to her father. "Yes, daddy it's me."

"Isn't she a vision, James?" Kabir asked, sitting at the table.

"Yes she is," James said, taking his daughter's hands. "My babycakes is growing up on me."

"They all do, James," Nagina said. "And she will be safe with me," she looked back at her husband. "As long as she's under my wings. I will protect her as if she were my own daughter!"

James smiled at his daughter but also noticed his friend eying her. It concerned him but so did many of the other men who've noticed Tiana's beauty. But he could trust the good queen. "I trust your word, your majesty."

Nagina smiled. "She will be with me at all times during our trip in London."

"So Tiana will be joining us on our London trip, dear?" Kabir asked before drinking from his glass flute.

"Yes, I'm sure that Tiana would love to see her father impress more of our circle of friends with his delightful culinary skills," she glanced at Tiana. "Isn't that right, darling?"

Tiana looked from the queen to her dad and nodded. "Yes, I would."

A month later...

Tiana was sitting beside her father in their own carriage on the way to London. Their destination will take a week and they looked forward to seeing the new city.

"You know the last time we've been on a trip like this together was when you were five. After your mother died."

"I remember," Tiana said, looking out of the window.

James sighed at his daughter, knowing she didn't like to have any discussions involving her mother and how badly her death effected her.

"Your mother would've been so proud of you," James complimented on his daughter on her beautiful princess-like attire.

"No she wouldn't," Tiana frowned. "We'd still be in New Orleans if she didn't go to that church!"

"If you're going to be mad at anyone be mad at me for suggesting it! She didn't have to deliver those pies!" James explained.

"I don't want to talk about it!" Tiana raised her voice but quickly apologized. "I'm so sorry daddy. It's just that—

"I know," he caressed her cheek. "I miss her, too."

She closed her eyes and suppressed her tears.

James smiled. "You've always had a talent of holding back those tears, babycakes, but you can let go every now and then."

Tiana shook her head. "No daddy," her voice cracked. "Its been almost thirteen years...I should be already over it but it always plays in my head over and over. One minute she was laughing and dancing with us in the kitchen and the next she's gone."

James wrapped an arm around his daughter's shoulders, pulling her in for a hug, his eyes watered. "She'll always be in our hearts. Just as you will always be in mine."

After finally making it to London Tiana said her goodbyes to her father before being escorted away to Nagina and her ladies who were all gossiping and laughing away at either other women in their social circle or servants who didn't look so presentable. It reminded Tiana of the small lecture her father gave her about never showing up looking less than worthy in front of the royals or anyone for that matter. In her heart she wanted to pull the women servants aside and give them the same advice, but the queen wanted her to stay by her side at all times. She couldn't understand but obeyed.

"Tiana you will meet my son tonight!" Nagina told her. "He just finished with school and will return for Maldonia with us in the morning. How does that sound?"

"We're leaving tomorrow?" Tiana asked, disappointed. "Why so soon? We just got here!"

"Well, I do not mind staying in London. It is the king who must return," Nagina said just as irritably. "But what can I say? He is our king. It's his rules."

Tiana nodded. "Yes, he is..."

Later that night the ball began and everything was beautiful, including the people who wore their best attire. Tiana herself was in a blue fitted evening gown with a tiara from Nagina's royal collection to finish her look. As beautiful as everyone said she was Tiana still felt out of place and missed her father who was in the kitchen with his cooks. A place where she truly wanted to be.

"You look as bored as I do," said a man from behind her.

Tiana turned to see an attractive man who looked close to her age standing before her. He looked a lot like the prince minus the prince would be in his Maldonian uniform. This man was in a very nice tuxedo.

"Pardon me," the man bowed. "If you don't mind me asking, beautiful. What is your name and what kingdom are you from?"

"I'm Tiana Brown from the kingdom of—

"So you've met my son, I see!" Kabir interjected while approaching the two.

"I'm sorry father but do you know this woman?" Naveen asked, confused.

"Why yes," he nodded at Tiana. "She is a girl of your mother's. Very pretty isn't she?"

"She's pretty enough," Naveen said flatly.

Tiana could tell by the prince's body language that he didn't want to be bothered. But his stance was also laced with arrogance and with that she decided to excuse herself.

"Not without a dance with my son!" Kabir lightly pushed her over to the younger man. "Go on and dance with the young lady!"

Naveen sighed, taking Tiana's hand and escorting her to the dance floor.

One of the longer songs were playing and neither cared for the music or to speak to one another. That is until Naveen grew bored. "So what did you do before my mother dragged you in as one of her rescue projects?"

"I beg your pardon?" she asked a little too harshly, yet didn't mind.

"You weren't born a princess or of wealth obviously," he noticed a small scar on her thumb. "Yet my mother felt that you were good enough to mingle with snobs. What are you looking for a wealthy man to live under?"

Tiana frowned, clearly offended. "I am looking for no man or anyone to live under! And the only reason why I came to this damn stupid dance was to please her! To hell with impressing the likes of you or any other snobby bastard who thinks that they can walk on water!"

Naveen smirked at her spunk; this girl definitely wasn't like the servant girls his mother would polish up. And there was something about her semi-accent... "You're not from Maldonia."

"No, I'm originally from the United States" Tiana answered.

"Where?" Naveen asked

She raised a skeptical brow at him. "New Orleans, Louisiana."

"The jazz city of the world?" he asked, excitedly. "Achidonza! You've got to tell me more about it!"

"Sorry to disappoint, but I moved from there when I was five," she said.

"Oh." Naveen was disappointed but wanted to get to know the girl a little more. "What are you looking to accomplish."

Tiana raised a brow. "What do you mean?"

"I mean. I already know that you have no interest in depending on a man of wealth to provide for you and I don't now if that's a commoner's dream with you being in my mother's circle. But how exactly will you be able to not want to marry up for your own benefit?"

"I'm not looking for any rich man as an accomplishment. All I want to be is a head chef and have my own restaurant someday! And if you don't mind, your majesty I would appreciate it if we end this topic."

"Hmm." Naveen wasn't expecting a response like that. He would even go as far as to call his guards to escort someone like her out of his presence by now. But for some odd reason he actually liked the way she spoke to him. For the first time in his privileged life he felt...normal.

Tiana smiled in satisfaction at him being speechless. 'That should shut him up until for the rest of the dance.'

"You know Tiana..." Naveen began.

'Oh god...,' Tiana thought.

"You're not at all a bad dancer..."

She was surprised. "Why, thank yo—

"For a commoner," he finished and saw her roll her eyes. "What?"

"Why can't you just leave a comment without adding an insult to it," Tiana said.

Naveen laughed. "I never thought that the word commoner as being an insult."

Tiana snorted. "The smug way you're saying it makes it seem that way."

"Well then I apologize," he stopped their dancing to bow before her. "I will never call you a commoner again," he then took her hand and kissed it.

Tiana couldn't suppress her smile quick enough to remain her in stubborn state.

Naveen was pleased by this and continued their dance. "So I finally got a smile from you."

She playfully rolled her eyes in response which humoured the prince even more.

Naveen didn't know what came over him but this woman was really getting to him. "You are the most incredible woman I've ever met, Tiana."

Tiana was taken back by the comment and the way he was looking at her. She would be lying to herself if she didn't find him interesting. Arrogant and all.

"It must be magic in the air tonight," Nagina said. "Because you two are still dancing even though the music has ended almost five minutes ago."

The couple stopped their dance with Naveen smirking while Tiana blushed from head to toe.

Nagina laughed, knowing that she made the right decision on pairing the two up. "Come along Tiana and Naveen. Some refreshments are in need for you two."

"No, I'll end my night here," Naveen said, looking at Tiana. "It was a pleasure to share a dance with you, Tiana."

She smiled a little. "Likewise, your majesty."

"Call me, Naveen," he said, taking her hand and kissing it.

Tiana glanced at the prince once more before leaving with the queen.

Kabir approached his son's way. "Moving a little too quickly with this girl I see."

Naveen's mood fell at the sound of his father's voice. "What business is it of yours, father?"

"Seeing that it involves my son and heir to the family throne it is very much my business."

"I'm out of here!" Naveen began walking away.

"She is beautiful, son. I would be very careful if I were you," he warned.

Naveen didn't like what he heard and turned to his father. "What do you mean?"

"It means what it means," Kabir said with an arrogant smirk.

Naveen waved his hand at him before storming off.

Tiana noticed the prince looking upset before leaving the room and wondered what his father did to cause such a reaction.

"Tiana are you all right?" Nagina interrupted her musing.

Tiana looked at the queen and nodded. "Yes, I am."

"Good," she said. "I would like for you to get acquainted with more of some friends of mine."

Tiana mentally groaned as she knew where the rest of this evening was headed. A night of boredom and snobbery.

The ball eventually came to an end and so was the trip. The ride was going smoothly until a storm came about in the middle of the night.

"Its really coming down out there," James said as their carriage rocked side to side.

Tiana felt a cold rush down her back at the possibility that something could go wrong.

Her predictions were right and the last thing she remembered was their carriage rolling down a slippery and steep hill.

Tiana's eyes opened to rain pouring through the window and hitting her face. "Daddy?" she asked and gasped when seeing his upper body slumped over his lap. "Daddy!" she shook his loose arm. "Daddy wake up!"

The carriage door opened to Maldonian guards. "Is everyone all right in here?"

"I am but my father isn't. He's unconscious," she told the men.

She got out of the carriage and waited as the guard checked on him.

The guard climbed out while shaking his head. "I'm sorry madam but your father is dead."

Tiana was so shocked that nothing left her mouth.

()()()()

The heavy wind from the storm knocked down all the carriages including the royal families. Nagina was also among the fatalities from the impact while Naveen and Kabir survived without a scratch.

When the surviving party reached back to the palace Tiana was escorted to her chambers wondering how will she be able to pay for a grave for her father since she didn't have enough to even survive if the king were to release her from the palace.

"Excuse me madam?"

Tiana looked at the servant girl with watery eyes. "Yes?"

"The king would like to see you."

She wiped her wet eyes and took a deep breath before following the servant to the emerald green and golden double doors to the throne room. She walked into the room once the guards opened both doors. She glanced at the traditional emerald and gold printed crest on the banners before stopping in front of the king.

"Your majesty?" Tiana curtsied.

"Leave us, Dibbi," Kabir told the servant who in return curtsied before leaving the room, closing the doubled doors. "I am sorry for the unfortunate lost of your father. James was a dear friend of mine and the best chef I've ever known."

"Thank you," she said. "And I am sorry for the loss of the queen. She was a beautiful woman and like a mother to me."

"She's given me a son and her dedication," was all he said. "I'm sure you are wondering why I called you into my throne room."

She nodded. "Yes, your majesty."

"The burial of your father will be covered in the morning near the servant's cemetery with the best. Would you like a ceremony in his honour?"

Tiana thought about it but shook her head. "No your majesty."

"Are there any family members you would like to contact in regards?" he asked.

"I have no other family..." she said.

The king frowned. "So you are the only family member left in your clan?"

Tiana didn't think of it that way and it actually made her feel worse.

Kabir sighed. "You will stay here at the palace and continue to stay in the princess chambers." Her surprised expression made him smile for the first time. 'Such beauty and innocence,' he thought.

"You may return to your chamber," he finally said.

And Tiana tried to remember what Nagina told her about gracefully leaving any room. She hurriedly walked down the corridors only to see Naveen and a maid running into a room, slamming the door shut. Giggly could be heard as she passed his suite and all she could do was roll her eyes. How could anyone think of fooling around right after losing their parent? Whatever feelings she had for the man was now back to how she originally thought of him.

()()()()

Weeks went since the good queen was laid to rest and millions of supporters and fellow allies continued to send their condolence and Tiana never felt lonelier. Prayer worked to a certain extend but she still felt emptiness.

As she stepped out of the chapel she almost bumped into Naveen who was kissing on what looked like a princess from another kingdom. Or was it a nicely dressed commoner? She didn't care.

He pulled from the princess to grin at Tiana with drunken eyes. "Hello Tiana!"

The woman with Naveen pulled him into another kiss and all Tiana did was roll her eyes at the two before leaving the two to go down the stairs to the kitchen. Until a servant stopped her.

"Madam Tiana?"

"Hmm?" Tiana looked at the woman.

"His highness would like a word with you."

She frowned and wondered what the king wanted from her and walked with the woman to the throne room. Once the servant was out of the room Kabir watched Tiana curtsy.

"Tiana, please stand up and come here..." Kabir gently ordered.

Tiana slowly walked over to the king, standing before him, puzzled.

His stern features softened as he rose from his throne to take her hand, walking her to the throne beside his. "Sit."

She frowned. "Here?"

He nodded.

She carefully sat on the soft chair, looking up at the king who smiled at her.

"Beautiful," he reached out to caress her cheek.

Tiana's heart thumped in nervousness as the king touched her. "Your majesty..."

"Shh!" he shushed her as his fingers brushed down her neck. "So young and beautiful..."

Tiana turned her head away.

Kabir smirked. "Have you ever been with a man, Tiana?"

Her eyes lowered to her lap.

"Have you, Tiana?" he pressed again, putting his hand under her chin to look up at him.

"No," she answered softly, seeing the lust in the man's eyes.

She heard about the king fooling around from the gossiping cooks in the kitchen and occasionally from Nagina's ladies, but didn't want to believe it as the king and queen seem to love each other...distantly. Of course she believed the stories she would hear about the irresponsible prince Naveen since she's walked in on him with the air headed servant girls and princesses since the untimely queen's death.

But the king, a man of great honor. A man who her father once called his good friend was asking her such a personal question made her really question her judge of character. First it was thinking of Naveen as a gentleman, and now it was thinking his overbearing father was a good man.

She watched as he got down on one knee and asked. "Give me your hand, my dear." Swallowing the knot in her throat she gave him her hand.

"I am a man with a broken heart for losing my good wife. I will miss her dedication and will forever be grateful that she gave me a son who I will hope grow up to be the man I want him to be someday. Tiana, my young and beautiful girl. I am asking you to take over the duty of being my queen, the nation's queen and my wife."

Tiana quickly pulled her hand away, standing up. "Your highness—

"Sit," he ordered sternly.

And she sat back down in fear.

"I just have you the proposal of your life," he said smugly.

"What if I refuse?" she asked.

"No isn't an option my dear," Kabir said. "Unless you want to go against your king."

Tiana saw that he was using his power to get her to marry him. "But I'm not ready to marry anyone."

"If my son were to ask I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem accepting his hand," he said bitterly.

"I would never...I have no interest in being anyone's wife!" she exclaimed.

"Including the king's?" he pressed.

"Yes."

Kabir rose with ease onto his feet and slammed both hands on each side of the throne she was sitting in, his face inches away from hers. "You will marry me because it is an honour and refusing will not only be an offense but also going against me. Do you understand!"

"No!" she exclaimed.

Kabir glared at her, grabbing her by her shoulders. "Can you not see what you are doing? You will be going against me and this kingdom! You will be ruined and exiled if you refuse me again! Think of what your father will say!"

Her eyes watered. "My father would never want me to marry a man whom I don't love!"

"My wife didn't love me when she married me!" he confessed in a raspy voice. "You will marry me and will become my wife. Do I make myself clear? Or do I have to have your father dug out of his grave and thrown on the streets for you to accept this marriage?"

Tiana was surprised by the king's harshness and was intimidated by his threat. He was a man of his word and the image of her father's body being displayed and ruined would be too much for even her.

So she wiped away her tears and exhaled deeply, suppressing the nauseousness at the answer she will satisfy him with.

"Yes...I'll marry you!" she forced out with gritted teeth. "But only for my father's honour!"

He smiled smugly. "Good. We will marry tomorrow evening!" And pulled her up to stand.

Tiana's eyes watered.

"As of now you will be sleeping in the queen's chamber with heavy guards. I can't risk having a runaway bride embarrassing me on my most important day," he locked an arm with her as they left the throne room with guards following behind them.

"Escort my fiancee to the queen's chambers and bring on all the former ladies of my dead wife," Kabir ordered, letting go of Tiana before walking into his own chamber.

"Your ladies will be in shortly, madam," one of the guards said before leaving Tiana alone in the queen's room. She's been in this room enough and could usually smell the perfume from the late queen. All she smelled were emptiness in the room. The same feeling she had in her empty heart.

The wedding happened later the next evening and soon Tiana was in the king's suite to consummate their marriage. With the wedding happening as quick as it did she didn't have time to get anything done for the king and all she had was a silk night gown that was mysteriously made for her by one of the seamstress. The woman accidentally slipped out that the revealing nightgown was made little over a month ago.

When Tiana entered the king's chambers through an adjoining entrance she found the king shirtless in bed waiting for her.

He got out of the bed in silk bottoms and gently took both her hands with his. "Come to bed, my dear," he walked her over to bed where she sat. He noticed her looking down at her lap, assuming that she was nervous he softly said, "My young benita. Please look up at me"

She did as told, staring into his mocha coloured eyes. He wasn't a bad looking man. He was actually very handsome, but she didn't love him. Anger for him manipulating her into a marriage with him.

"I will not hurt you if you relax," Kabir said with reassurance, helping her back up. "I will try my best to make you comfortable." he caressed her face before placing a gentle kiss on her cheek.

Tiana felt his lips press against her neck and shoulder after he pulled the straps off her shoulders. She instinctively caught her night gown before it could reveal more of her body until he stopped her:

"No my dear, I want to see your beautiful body."

Tiana felt his kisses as the night gown slipped down her ankles and soon felt his hands running up and down the sides of her waist before stopping at her hips.

"Your body is perfection...," he whispered, taking her hand to his. "Lay down, mi benita..."

Tiana shivered as her naked back hit the silk sheets and was startled when Kabir pinned her hands at her sides.

"You will not hide from me, mi benita," he took in her body and exhaled deeply. "You're really making me feel like a young man again," he haven't been this aroused in years, not even with his concubines, and only hope for his young bride's sake that he would have the wheel power to not go too fast with her.

Tiana closed her eyes as he lowered himself over her, feeling his hands cup and squeeze her breasts.

"I will enjoy these before the children ruin them," he began sucking on her nipple.

Tiana let out an exhale at the sensation he was giving her. Looking down at his head full of silver grey hair she heard him occasionally mumble his native tongue and closed her eyes again feeling his gentle kisses down her body.

As much as she wanted to dislike his caresses her body couldn't deny the need of wanting more.

"I've got to see your beautiful face again," he returned to press his lips on hers, noticing she didn't return his advances. "Mm...you've never been kiss?"

"No," she admitted, also feeling his hand between her legs once again, brushing against her pearl.

"I will teach you what you need to know, my dear..." he kissed her. "Follow me," he instructed.

She felt so guilty and overwhelmed for enjoying his arousing touch between her legs and hated that his kisses were turning out to be pleasurable. He wasn't a bad kisser and quickly learned to return them despite not really wanting to be in this position in the first place.

She left out a soft moan as she was nearing her climax, but it ended just as quickly as the kiss.

The king got off the bed to stand and pull down his bottoms, exposing his full erection. When his young wife turned her head bashfully he ordered: "Look at me, Tiana."

She forced herself to look up at her husband's handsomely mature face, seeing the smirk on his lips. The smirk looked so evil in her opinion and she had to look elsewhere and that was his slightly toned torso. He was definitely a strong looking man, but when her eyes went lower she was surprised to see that compared to what she's heard and read about he was very endowed.

Kabir chuckled arrogantly as he position himself between her legs. "My sweet, innocent, flower, please look at me as we become one," he stuck a finger inside and nodded. "Very good...," and slowly pushed himself into her, feeling her tense. "Relax, my dear...,"

Tiana tried to but couldn't help it. She didn't want this and when he swiftly shove himself inside of her she bit the bottom of her lip at the pain, but that wasn't enough to suppress her whimpering.

"It will get better, my dear," he whispered into her ear after slowly moving in and out of her. "Relax..."

Her eyes watered as he moved slightly faster but careful not to go too quickly.

She was relieved when he was done and by the time he finish and himself pulled out, she heard him arrogantly say, "You will eventually get accustom to my size," and brought her in his arms. "And I look forward to more conjugal bliss with you, my dear."

Tiana rested her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"I'm...all right, your majesty," her vocie cracked and heard him yawn.

"You may use the lavatory if you need to wash up."

"What's a lavatory?" she asked and heard him chuckle.

"The bathroom, my dear. I will have to request an instructor for your vocabulary as well as learning our nation's tongue. But tomorrow as I am tired for good reasons..."

Tiana listened as his breathing slowed down and within minutes heard him letting out his first snore.

She easily slipped out of his arms to go to the bathroom and instantly felt the slick between her legs and knew what it was. She's heard the stories from the other servant girls including her ladies and knew that she had to act fast in case something come of it. She would have to go into the village to visit the midwife sometime in the day.

After cleaning herself in a quick bath she dressed in her night gown and hurried back to bed where she found a small red spot on one of the sheets. Her heart sank. Moving it out of the way she slipped right back in bed with her back facing the snoring king, and not even two feet away lie the silk sheet that held the blood of her virginity. A maidenhood that was gone at the state of manipulation.

Her life was now bound to one man and one kingdom alone and there was nothing she could do about it.
