ShadowQueen Ch. 4: …Either Way I Don't Want to Wake Up from You
After being tortured in his sleep Samdi decides not to even attempt to reenter the land of slumber and dreams. He instead chooses to get up and do something with himself to keep him awake. He eases himself from under Regina and positions the goose down pillow under her head so that she may continue to sleep comfortably even in his absence. Once up, he pulls a robe out of the closet for Regina to put on when she arises, pulls out his own clothes for the day and proceeds to take a shower. He turns on the water, gets it to the perfect temperature, adjusts the shower head, then stands under the spray. He allows the water to beat down on him hoping that the rhythm of the pelting droplets will massage him into a much-needed state of relaxation. As he washes himself his mind goes back to the Shadow Man's final words "As long as I exist, you'll NEVER fully have her."
As much as he hates to admit it the dream was more than a nightmare, it's a foretelling which makes the thought of its reality more frightening. Although the dark stalker showed in a dream he is most definitely real. Samdi knows this as fact because he is indeed the Shadow Man. The Shadow Man is the portion of himself that tricks, steals and lies; the worst parts of himself. The parts that have caused her hurt and pain. The parts that have been the root of their demise each time they've separated. That is with the exception of their very last separation. That was caused by Drizella's curse. Yet and still, the truth remains the same, unless he can rid himself of the Shadow Man he'll never be able to fully have his love in the way that he desires. He will continue to have one foot in the light of happiness and the other in the darkness of a very unpleasant place of a possible existence without his love Regina. He knows what needs to be done, it's just a matter of doing it. He's done some of the work already. The firefly ruby he sequestered from Tiana helped to cleave him from the Shadow Man however he is still in the debts of "his friends from the other side" so a piece of him remains fettered to the Shadow Man and all his wrong doing. Samdi turns off the water, displeased that even the soothing heated massage of a morning shower was powerless against the chaos in his mind.
After he gets out of the shower he decides not to dress for the day just yet, so he adorns himself with a plush robe identical to the one set aside for Regina. Finishing the knot on his house coat he proceeds to the kitchen where he begins breakfast for Regina and himself. He moves to prepare a spread of Regina's favorites, a breakfast that's sure to please.
As the breakfast preparation nears its end with most of the food ready to be plated, the smell of bacon, eggs, pancakes and coffee wafts passed Regina's nose gently coaxing her from the land of sleep. When she opens her eyes, she looks for Samdi only to find him gone. If she weren't in his bed in his home, she'd be sure he had pulled another one of his disappearing acts. As she becomes more awake she finds that the smell of breakfast foods that lured her from sleep was a reality not a dream. "The Baron Samdi, cooking?... No way." She thinks out loud in utter disbelief. "Either he has a cook or…I must still be dreaming." When she goes to get out of the bed and feels the dull ache of her muscles along with the blissful soreness in her lady parts she knows for sure "nope…definitely not dreaming. When her body protests her moving again she concludes, "whew! Wow, not dreaming at all… He must have a cook then."
Despite the welcomed ache of the remnants of a very pleasurable night, she rids herself of the duvet's cover, swings her legs over the side of the bed, places her feet on the floor and stands from the bed. She walks to the bathroom in all of her naked glory where she spots a robe with a note attached, "For you my love, to cover yourself beautiful… If you want to ; )." At reading the note she smiles from ear to ear, puts the note down and puts on the heavy, soft, long, Egyptian cotton, RMS engraved robe but does not tie it. She is feeling a bit like a tease this morning. She then walks down stairs toward the smell of the food where she finds Samdi plating breakfast to take it to the table.
When he turns, plates in hand he sees a half-covered Regina. "Well good morning beautiful" he says trying to quell the desire to feast on her with his hungry eyes and he steps in to kiss her, "good morning, handsome" she moves in the remainder of the way to seal their lips in a hearty good morning kiss. When they break he continues "I was just going to come wake you as soon as I put these on the table. How did you sleep?" "I slept very well, the best I have in a while actually. How about you?" She asks knowingly, "it's a bit early to have your cook prepare breakfast don't you think?" "Regina love, you wound me" he says dramatically, placing his hand over his chest as if stabbed "I cooked this myself, specially for my Queen" he says with a mock hurt face. Regina cups his face and gently kisses his lips "and you did an amazing job, it looks and smells awesome" she says in playful apology. "Thank you" he playfully banters back.
Soon after he sobers and answers her real question, "and you're right it is a bit early to be cooking. Truthfully, I had a night terror that woke me late in the 5 o'clock hour and I just…couldn't get myself to fall back asleep so I decided to take a shower and prepare us a bit if something to eat." "Hmm, so you did" she says understandingly as he passes her a filled plate "thank you" she says graciously "you're more than welcome my lovely queen" he says before he steals another kiss and turns to finish plating his own food. "When did you start cooking by the way?" Regina asks curiously, still very intrigued by this phenomenon, "I learned a bit here and there during the time that I've been here in this land" "so it seems you have… it really does look and smell amazing. Here let me take that for you" she says sincerely as she takes his plate "thank you my love" he says just as sincere "I'll bring you a fork and knife, what would you like to drink? We have coffee, orange juice, apple juice, cranberry and water" he asks as her gathers utensils and glasses. "Well at this hour coffee is a must" she says, "correct you are my love," he agrees and continues on to complete her request before she can voice it, "no cream just sugar I know. Would you like something along with the coffee?" "orange juice is fine, thank you". They walk together to the table where Regina places their food down and Samdi lays down the silverware and drinks. "Bon appetite, mon cheri" at that Regina cuts into her pancakes, forks some eggs along with a triangle of the cut pancake and takes in the forkful. At the taste of it she exhales deeply and rolls her eyes in delight "Wow, Baron this is delicious!" "I am glad that I can please" Samdi says as he takes in the sight of the hills of her breast, torso and navel peeking from beneath the open robe.
She catches the wandering of his eyes and quickly quips "eyes here dear" motioning to her face. At that he chuckles and asks, "so I was thinking… since I have no meetings important enough not to cancel, that we could spend the day catching up." "She catches the undertone of his 'catching up' and replies "as awesome as that sounds… there are a few things standing in the way of that happening." "oh?" he asks curiously, "yes, the first of which is I have to work. Second is, as far as Zelena knows, you're cursed and we don't know each other. Spending the day together as is we are familiar would raise some suspicions. And thirdly, as much of a pleasure it is to see you again, I have a curse I'm trying to break without paying the heavy price and…I can't say that I fully trust you right now. Hopefully, eventually I will be able to but…We have ended up on opposite sides in the past and this, saving my son, is too important for me to get mixed up in your tricks and games. I'm sorry. I just… I'm sorry" she says sadly. "No, Regina don't apologize. You're very correct and I completely understand. And… I apologize that I've made you to feel that way. Hopefully, in time I will have proven myself worthy of your trust my love." He says in apologetic yet hopeful tones "me too" she replies.
She wants to trust him, she really does. She really has feelings for him, deep feelings. But feelings aside, the truth remains that, even if it wasn't done intentionally, he has hurt her amid his tricks and deals and he has been on the wrong side of wrong for so long she's doubtful that he can make the change… even for her. After that enlightening moment, they eat in silence until they are about done and Samdi asks "…Well, can I at least drive you to work?" "No, I don't think that would be a good idea either. The suspicion thing, remember? Thank you for offering though" "well, what time do you have to be at work today? He asks dejectedly.
She hates that she has to be so closed off with him but right now, it's a must. "Well Zelena has been opening for me recently so haven't had to be in until around 9 or 10, but… I have to make sure that I am at home before she wakes up. The last thing I need or want is the third degree from my older sister." "No, we wouldn't want that, now would we?" "no, we wouldn't" she says chuckling. Baron gets up and walks in her direction "well can I at least have a bit of your time this morning before have to go?" he says taking her hands in his "I don't know, I only have about…thirty minutes" she answers lustfully as she stands and pulls her hands from his. He catches her by the wrists and gently wraps Regina's arms around his neck. Then he reaches under her robe to put a hand on either of her bare sides to then slide them to her behind and pull her close. He rests his hand there are says "I'm grateful for whatever you're willing to give Regina."
At that she moves into kiss him and he meets her the other half of the way. When their lips meet, Samdi shifts the angle of his head and slides his tongue across he lips in silent request for entry. She quickly grants him access, starting a fit of hot and heavy tongue filled kisses. After about a minute, Samdi turns them so that her backside is against the table before he lifts her onto it. Once settled on the table, she goes to work on the tie on Samdi's robe. Her deft fingers undo the robe with a quickness revealing a very naked, overly aroused Samdi. She reaches for his rock-solid member and begins to stroke him from tip to hilt and back again before guiding him into her anxiously awaiting, soaked core. Still slightly sore from their actions of the night before, she makes him enter in carefully and moans very loudly when he does. When he is fully within her depths, Samdi hooks his wrists under her thighs and pulls her closer toward the edge of the table. As they begin to set a rhythm Regina pleads, reminding him in gasps, moans and whimpers "please, please, be careful…mmm…ah! Baron! Please ease up… oh!" "Yes, my dear, I apologize. I'll do all that you desire."
After giving his word Samdi continues in the set rhythm thrusting deeply, passionately yet with all the care in the world as to take her request into consideration. With each thrust Regina gets closer to that place of sexual nirvana. She braces herself with her hands gripping each side of the table behind her. Soon enough she screams his name amid her first release of their early morning round of pleasure. He removes himself from her throbbing depths, stands her up off the table and turns her around where her front is against the table's edge. Once turned with her back facing his front Samdi bends her over so her torso if fully laying on the table, parts her thighs to give him some room to work and kneels so that his face is in alignment with her beautiful pink blossom. He gives her flower a few good sucks, licks and kissed to push her closer to blissful oblivion before standing once again to gently enter her heat from behind. When he's back at home within the depths of her core he grabs her hips, and goes to town.
Overwhelmed with pleasure, Regina reaches for something, anything to grab a hold to, to give her stability. Seeing her struggle, he offers her his hands to hold when he bends to lay his torso on her back to further deepen his thrusts. With this change she begins to feel him so deeply, he is practically in her soul. He is touching that place that teeters the line of pleasure and pain and at this point… she is weak! Her legs start to give way, her knees buckle and she is jelly inside; all she has the power to do is close her eyes, scream his name, call to the heavens, moans from the gut, hold tight to his hands and wait for the coil that's is steadily tightening within to spring loose and give her release. Samdi, hearing his name in this manner, is fervently reminded of past times with his queen. Times when their love was fresh and untainted, their passions unbridled and a future together was more than clear. These memories and the feelings they bring along with them are more than he can handle, he loses his resolve and moments later they come together. He releases his seed at his ultimate depth as her walls contract and flutter around him "oh my…uhhh! Mmmm…Baron, you feel so good! Ahhh!" She screams her bout of passionate pleasure feeling him release himself within her. She's confident if she hadn't made herself barren years ago, after these two back to back episodes, by end of day she'd definitely be pregnant; and for how they went at it, with multiples.
Once again, she is left breathless with trembling legs. Legs that she now must walk on to get back home, damn! She should have accepted his offer to drive her. After they catch their breath, Samdi slowly slips his member from the warmth of its newly reclaimed home and then helps a still weak Regina to stand, holding her around her waist to provide support. He lays his chin on her shoulder and kisses her on the cheek, on the second kiss Regina turns her head to capture his lips with her own, thus tossing them back into another passionate make out session. She turns in his supporting arms to wrap hers around his neck, giving her more support to properly stand. A minute or so goes by then Samdi begins to move his kisses down to her neck and shoulders. Before he can get them aroused again she stops him "down there, tiger" she jokes "my thirty minutes are nearly up" she states plainly "yes, they are, aren't they?" "Yes, and I still haven't found my clothes or showered", she says all smiles. "Well…" he begins as he looks intently into her eyes, "before I started cooking, I cleaned up a bit. I put your clothes on the counter in the bathroom so you could see them when you went in to shower. I only wish I had something you could change into here so you wouldn't have to wear the same thing you had on yesterday." She is so close to being head over heels with this man. He cooks, he cleans, he's a gentleman, he's very well off, he pleasures her like no man has ever been able to pleasure her and he is damn fine. But, she must remain guarded, at least until she knows what he's really up to and is able to bide herself with him properly; but with him being like this it's going to be hella difficult to do. "Thank you Baron my love, you're so sweet. But it's ok, I'll just get home quickly and change when I get there. Hopefully, I don't see anyone on the way there." Samdi chuckles at that and replies "let's hope. Oh, there's just one thing… I couldn't find your panties", he says looking apologetically. "Damn it, it never fails. Damn, I hate when that happens" she says annoyed. "I'm sorry, my love" he says looking at her with adoration, like she's the cutest thing to walk the planet. "it's fine, I guess. I have to change clothes when I get home anyway" she says mood lightening back to its original state. "Let me go shower before I run out of time" she says moving out of his arms to walk toward the bathroom.
When she does, her knees give way again, her legs are still weak, Samdi catches her and picks her up bridal style to carry her upstairs. Regina, not aware of what he was doing before he did, yelps in surprise of his sudden movement and laughs when he kisses the space between her chin and collar bone once he settled her in his arms. Samdi walks them both upstairs to the master bathroom and sits her on the chaise that's positioned along the back wall in the bathroom while he prepares the water for her. After he turns the taps to perfect the water temperature, he stands and disrobes before walking back over to retrieve Regina. When Samdi drops his robe, Regina looks at him curiously, trying desperately not to get aroused again knowing that get body can't handle anymore "Baron… what are you doing?" "Regina, you can hardly stand, I'm going to help you balance yourself. Now come on so I can help you out of this thing", he states matter-of-factly. Regina bends to his will and allows him to take off her robe and carry her to the shower. Samdi opens the shower door, walks them both in and closes the glass door behind them. Once in, he places her to sit on the marble bench along the side wall of the walk-in shower.
Regina is damned smitten, and can't help but to be. As bad as she's tried to contain herself, she is Niagara Falls at the sight of this man's naked form. She can't control her urges for him and because she can't Regina calls him to her "Samdi…" she says lustfully. At the utterance of his last name from her mouth he already knew what the deal was but he answers obliviously anyway "yes, my dear", "come here" she beckons totally blinded by lust. "Whatever for my dear?" he asks innocently knowing full well of the badness she's thinking up "Just… come here". At her final request, he walks back over to the marble bench she's sitting knees spread, putting her blossom on full display, and as he does she looks at him like a lioness on the prowl ready to pounce. When he gets close to her she reaches for his hands, takes a hold of them and pulls him to her so that his thighs and manhood are close enough to taste, and taste she does.
Before she took him into her mouth she rubbed his thighs with flat palms from knee to groin making Samdi's breath and eye lids heavy. She then strokes him from hilt to tip before laying a gentle kiss and tongue flick on his tip and shaft. When she did take him into her mouth she screwed her hand up and down in rhythm with the slow bobbing of her head. At the feeling of her mouth's warmth his knees grow week and he braces himself by gently laying his hands on her shoulders. When he recovers, he looks down at Regina to find her eyes looking at him and his brown eyes lock with her beautiful chocolate orbs.
She is absolutely beautiful, he runs the fingers of his right hand through her hair as the other caresses her shoulder. After a while he feels himself reaching his peak, when he does he gently has her stop her ministrations to stand her from the bench. She begins to protest but when takes her under the running shower, lifts her up and penetrates her warmth once again he protests instantly cease. The massage of the shower and the feeling of him stroking in and out of her with her in his arms once again are enough to send him over the edge, spilling his seed into her for the third time since their reunion. He wouldn't be surprised if she came to him in a month or so and told him she's pregnant; with multiples, no doubt. When he's fully emptied himself into her, he removes himself, puts her down and kneels to finish her with his tongue. Regina is in heaven once again, she thought she was done with their tryst on the table. Obviously, she wasn't. Guess you never really know your limits. Once she comes back down she realizes she was supposed to be taking a shower to get clean…some good that shower did.
