Egyptian Love - chapter 6

Shadow's POV

"ph-pharoah!" I said pulling away with a pink blush evident on my cheeks. "i-i'm sorry, i didn't know what came over me." The pharaoh said and left the room, leaving me in the bedroom with his son still cuddled up against my chest in my arms.

I sat down on the bed and laid the child on the matrass. The infant didn't like the fact that i took that decision and he showed me his dislike by starting to cry and reaching for me. I tried to comfort him by stroking his quills, but it only seemed to work a little. He had stopped crying, but he was still sniffing a little. "i'll hold you again soon, but i first need to figure out what kind of disease you have." I said and checked his temprature. "you're burning up. i better get a bowl of cool water and a cloth." I said. I got up from the bed with the infant in my arms again and walked back towards the crib.

Suddenly the door opened and a slave walked in. "the pharaoh has told me to assist you if you needed anything." The slave said and approached me. "he did?" I asked and the slave nodded. "could you fetch me a bowl with cool water and a cloth?" I asked and the slave nodded and quickly left. I sat back down on the bed with the infant i was still holding. I didn't have to go out to get those things myself. So i could just stay here with the poor child and keep an eye on him.

The pharaoh's personal slave came back with the bowl and cloth and gave it to me. I sat back against the wall and tried to cool the fever of the child down with the cloth. It seemed to help as the baby welcomed the chill feeling of the wet cloth. "that feels good doesn't it?" I asked. The infant held the cloth tightly with his tiny hands and closed his eyes to enjoy the chill feeling of the wet cloth as if answering my question.

I smiled as i held the small infant in my arms. His fever had gone down and he was sleeping at the moment. I found him to be a bit dehydrated and gave him enough fluids to drink. So he was atleast a little bit better now. I sighed as i realized how little i could do for the small newborn. I really wanted to help him get better, but there was only so little i could do so far. "i'm sorry, i don't think there is much i can do for you." I said and stroked his quills softly.

I heard the door open, but i didn't look up from the small hedgehog. So i never noticed who was entering the room. Making me think it was the personal slave of the pharaoh. "i told you that i don't need your help anymore and that you're free untill further notice." I said and heard the person approach me. "i didn't think i would have to work for you." I heard the person say. I looked up and saw the pharaoh standing in front of me. "i'm sorry, i mixed you up with someone else." I said and returned my gaze to the sleeping infant. "i see." He said and sat down on the edge of the bed a foot away from me.

Sonic reached over to the infant and rubbed behind his ear. The baby giggled softly in his sleep. "what is his name actually?" I asked. "you never told me his name." I stated and pharaoh Sonic sighed. "his mother gave him my name, but i wanted him to have a name that would resemble his mother aswell. So we named him Sonic Shade the hedgehog." He said. "but i mainly call him Shade." Sonic said and pulled his hand back. "i'll just call him Sonic then since i call his father just pharaoh." I muttered and moved my thump when the baby grabbed it in his sleep.

"i'm sorry about before." The pharaoh said all of a sudden. "for what?" I asked. "for kissing you so suddenly." He said. "oh! it's okay...i guess." I said and an awkward silence settled between us.

"why did you do it anyway?" I asked. "well, to be honest, you looked so much like my mate. I couldn't help myself." The pharaoh said. "you really miss him don't you?" I asked and the other hedgehog nodded sadly.

Another silence settled between us. "i think i kinda liked it." I said to break the silence. "you did?" He asked. "well, it surelly wasn't unpleasant." I said and got up from the bed to lay the younger Sonic back in his crib. I stood at the crib and looked down at the sleeping form of the baby.

Suddenly Pharaoh Sonic's hands were on my shoulders. "do you mind another one then?" He asked. "not really" I said and turned to him. "that's good." He said and laid his hands on my cheeks and softly laid a kiss on my lips.

The pharaoh pulled away to take a quicky glance at my eyes before capturing my lips in a kiss that became more passionate every passing second. A part of me started to feel quilty for it had only been a few months since his mate, who looked exactly like me it seems, had passed away from a terrible, but another part made it feel right. I faced away from the pharaoh when i was out of breath. The pharaoh in turn started to kiss my neck. "should we really be doing this?" I asked and looked at the sleep infant in the corner of my eyes. "Shade is asleep. plus he's to young to even know what is going on if he were to awaken." He said and rested his hands on my lower back. I stiffled back a moan as i felt his hands going lower. I was pretty sensitive and nervous. Mainly because i had never gotten this intimate with someone before. Not that i can remember, that is. I felt him gently nip at my fur on the side of my throat while he coaxed me to follow him to the bed. Pharaoh Sonic pulled away a little and gently pushed me down onto the soft matrass of the large bed. I took one quick glance at the baby to make sure he was sleeping peacefully before fully submitting to the pharaoh on top of me.
