Susan Pevensie felt more than uncomfortable. Her dressed itched more than usual and her breasts looked ridiculously bigger. Not to mention that she could barely walk. Last night every bachelor, man and mythical creature danced with her at the ball in the honor of the High King's 25th birthday. Well, almost every bachelor, Caspian spent all night talking with Edmund and laughing a little bit too loud when women complimented him.

"Ten steps more." Susan said to herself. "Five steps and you'll be at the dining hall."

The double doors opened and Susan froze. What was doing Caspian here? His expression was unreadable to Susan. Confused eyes, lips parted, hands fisted. Did he actually hate her that much? Since that late afternoon when Caspian caught Sir Christopher and her sharing a chaste kiss, he has mastered to make his expressions unreadable. Although Susan explained him that Christopher was the one who kissed her, Caspian never seemed to listen. Not even now that Sir Christopher left to Beruna.

"Susan!" Edmund's voice woke her up from her flashback. "Aren't you going to sit?"

"Yes, of course I am!" Susan managed a smile trying to cover her embarrassment while she walked to her sit next to Caspian and her breasts fought to escape her silk dress.

"My Queen." Caspian said looking into her eyes.

"Caspian." Susan answered him still startled.

"So Caspian!" Lucy said while batting her eyelashes. "Are you joining us for breakfast tomorrow? Don't forget it's the beginning of autumn and it's a tradition to have the annual horse ride with the Kings and Queens."

"If Queen Susan agrees, obviously." Caspian replied.

Susan's heart raced. Why would he want her opinion now? "I have no problem with having you for breakfast." She said not looking at him.

"Caspian why don't you stay with us during this season? It must be tiring to travel from Telmar's Castle to Cair Paravel every single day. This your home now, King of Narnia." Peter said.

Caspian smiled. He often gets the same request from Peter, but now is the time to reply concretely. "I would love to."

Susan cleared her throat and drank her cup of wine. "More please." Her cup was refilled and she drank again and again and again. She excused herself and when anyone was seeing her anymore, she ran to her bedroom and closed her door.

"I won't be needing any help tonight, Danica!" She shouted.

"Yes, My Queen." Danica answered, leaving Susan alone in her room.

She changed into her sleeping gown and brushed her hair. Sir Christopher was far away and tomorrow was the day. Exhausted, Susan climbed to bed and sleep was claiming her, when suddenly a knock on the door woke her.

"Danica, I'm fine, really, I'm ready to sleep." She said opening her door. But it wasn't Danica knocking, it was Caspian. His brown eyes sparkling and beautiful black hair framing his handsome face, his chest a few inches from her face.

Susan's eyes widened in shock. "Cas-!" Caspian covered her mouth. He took a step into Susan's room and closed the door.

"Relax." He whispered.

"How do you want me to relax, you can't get into my room like this! I'm underdressed!"

Caspian took a swift but satisfying look at Susan. Her almost transparent gown made her breasts look fuller, much fuller than this evening when he almost ripped her dress off. Her hair fell over her shoulders and lips were still red from the large amount of wine she drank.

"Susan, I'm sorry. I know Christopher is long gone." He began.

"Why are you telling me this now? All those times I told you that nothing was happening between Christopher and me you refused to believe me!"

"I know. And I'm sorry. I was blind. I just came here…" He unconsciously paused as he looked down to Susan's body. She wasn't a girl anymore. The way her hips curved made him fantasize about every single inch of her.

Susan's face turned red and hot, she was angry. Why would he stop talking in a moment like this? She took his chin and made them see each other face to face. "I am sorry you are sorry." She said.

"If I could take time back, I would!" He said, with pain in his voice.

Then, Susan made something she never expected. She pulled him closer and kissed him on the lips. A quick and tender kiss that left Caspian hungry for more. He grabbed her face and kissed her, as she threw her hand around his neck pulling him closer, the heat of his body traveling to hers. Susan broke the kiss, and she saw Caspian. Handsome, lips parted and breathing heavily. Susan smiled.

"I'll go to bed now. See you tomorrow." Caspian left.

Susan touched her lips. And climbed to bed again, but this time she fell asleep almost immediately, thinking on his lips on hers, his body covering hers….taking a new spin, a new step, getting lost in each other.
