After another long night of love-making, a soft light peeked through our curtains. Chrom had passed out a short time ago, after trying to get himself up for yet another round. I had finally urged him for us to stop for the night, as dawn was likely near. Sure enough, he passed out and dawn followed soon after. I remained awake however, sitting up with the sheet over my lap, knees clutched to my chest. Today was the day that we headed out to face my evil-future-self. I sighed and looked over to my husband, a smile spreading across my face. He looked so peaceful, any thoughts I had of telling him my plan were immediately vanquished. For I wanted to let him keep this peaceful expression for as long as possible. I stood and grabbed my robe before hurrying to bathe. The warm water caressed my body, tingling my pounded nether regions. I relaxed a little before reaching for a small hand towel and cleaning myself.
-Chrom's POV-
I opened my eyes slightly, noticing the absence of heat from my darling wife.
"I swear, my hair will start turning gray within the week because of her. Her and the kids." I groaned, rolling out of bed. I walked around the bed and the absence of her robe. I grabbed my own, wrapped up and left for the baths. When I walked up and cracked the door I heard Meyome's voice from inside.
"What am I going to do if that doesn't work?! UGH! Why does this have to be so hard sometimes?!" She then took a deep breath, and exhaled. "Relax, Meyome. You have to keep a level head if you wanna figure out the best plan if the original idea ends up not working!"
I knocked on the door as I pushed it open. "Meyome? You in here?"
"Y-Yea!"
"Can I come in?"
"Sure."
-Lucina's POV-
I stood at my window, fully dressed in my armor. The suns soft rays slowly peeking over the horizon. I wondered how many of our allies were already awake and ready as well, Inigo? Aunt Lissa? Aversa? Henry, Tharja and Noire? Were they all preparing for today's journey? Or did they already take care of preparations last night? I heard my bedroom door open behind me.
"I figured you would be up and ready."
"Morgan." I spoke, never looking away from the open window. "I assume you've been up all night?"
"Yes, if I can help mother by thinking of a few possible battle strategies, then I'm more than willing to lose a couple hours of sleep." Morgans voice lacked the normal high pitched cheerfulness it normally had. It was deeper, and far more serious than I would have thought possible for him.
"I agree, I was up in the courtyard most of the night, training." I expecting an 'and nothing was broken' joke, but I knew I would not get it today. "You remembered to go get Mothers gift last night correct?"
"Yes, her grandmaster's uniform is in my room now. I left the box on my bed while I retreated to the library."
"The library? All night?" I took only a single step back as to turn and face him.
"I went to go over the old records of the last fight with Grima, and records of major war strategies. Leave it to Mom to have everything organized so meticulously." his head hung as a solemn smile spread across his face.
"You're really that worried about her?"
"I am, I have a sick feeling in my stomach from worrying so much." he raised his head, finally revealing the tears building up in his eyes.
"Everything will be ok, Morgan." I walked over and embraced him, he returned my hug with a vice grip. I heard his sniffles soon after,he wasn't the only one who was worried. My own tears rolled silently down my face.
-Meyome's POV-
I walked down the hall as I dried my hair, headed towards my children's rooms. Lucina was the easier one to wake, so I figured I would go to her first. However, as I approached her room I noticed it was slightly cracked open.
I felt my brows furrow, 'She better not have tried to sneak Inigo into her room again.'
"I went to go over the old records of the last fight with Grima, and records of major war strategies. Leave it to Mom to have everything organized so meticulously."
'Morgan?' I was more shocked that he was up this early. I peeked into to see his head hung, by the window Lucina stood with a worried expression upon her face. I could only imagine the look on my son, but I could only see the back of his head.
"You're really that worried about her?"
"I am, I have a sick feeling in my stomach from worrying so much." he raised his head.
Lucina hurried to stand in front of her brother and borought him into a hug. "Everything will be ok, Morgan." her head lowered, I faintly saw the drops fall from her cheeks. I turn and slowly lean against the wall, tears welling in my eyes. I hadn't even realized how much trouble I was causing everyone. I knew they had been concerned over my out of character behavior, but I didn't know they had been this worried. I was angry at myself that it took seeing my own children crying over me for it to finally sink in. To the side I saw Chrom walking up and held my hand out to stop him. As my head lowered the welling tears finally ran down my cheeks.
"Hey, you go make sure we have our things ready. I'll take care of the children." Chrom whispered before walking past me. He knocked before heading in the room. "Good morning, I'm shocked to see you two already awake. What's wrong?"
"Father."
"Dad."
My heart shattered as their voices cracked. I walked off, I couldn't handle it.
I ended up walking all the way to the shepherds meeting Hall. I wasn't too shocked to see everyone was already there.
"Good morning." I bowed my head, "Is it safe to assume everyone is ready?"
Mutters of confirmation filled the hall.
"All right, lets go over the travel plans."
-Chrom's POV-
It took a little while before the children stopped crying, worried to death about Meyome possibly being reckless in the upcoming battle. I gave them my word, that I would stay close to her.
"Let's go find your mother now. She wasn't there when I woke up." I smiled.
"You're not instilling a lot of confidence Father." Lucina spoke as she rubbed the remaining tears from her eyes.
"It's fine, I have a feeling on where she went." I pulled her in for a hug. "My bet is she wandered to the Shepherds hall.
"Hey I'll meet you out front then, I gotta grab the outfit for mom."
I looked to my oldest with a quizzical look. "As a combined gift from us, we got the tailor to make another grandmasters outfit."
"She'll be greatly appreciative of that." I chuckled.
After meeting up with Morgan at the front we made our own way to the Hall. Sure enough, there was Meyome. Bent over a map, with her cloak on a nearby chair, explaining whatever plan she had come up to everyone, Frederick and Lady Lyndis at her immediate sides. Frederick saw me walking up and stepped to the side. I walked up and kissed her cheek, but she paid little attention to me as she looked the other way at Lyndis.
"Lyn, I want you and the others of your world to stay here and protect the capital."
"Then why the hell did you track us all down if you were just going to leave us behind?" Nergal scoffed to himself.
"Well, originally, I had planned to take you all with us. However, after yesterdays attack I knew the city and surrounding towns would be in trouble if we didn't leave someone to help the guards protect it. I knew there weren't many that I could trust this task to. You are all experienced warriors who are exceptionally strong." She smiled. "I have faith in all of you, even you Nergal."
He whipped his head to the side, avoiding eye contact.
"You have our word, the city and surrounding areas will be safe in our hands." Lyn brought her in for one final hug before the entire caravan started heading out of town.
"I'm not worried about Lyn and them, but are you sure it's wise to leave Nergal with them?" I slowed down to walk beside her.
"I have faith in him." She smiled as she briefly touched my arm. She looked up to the sky, "Beautiful day today isn't it?"
"Yes, it's very pleasant. What are you thinking about?"
"Hmm?" She looked over to me.
"You always comment on the weather or the scenery when you start thinking." I chuckled. "What's wrong?"
"Just trying to come up with a strategy. That's all." She smiled.
She returned her gaze to the sky and that expression returned to her face. That was not her strategizing expression, that was her 'I'm thinking of something I don't wanna think about' expression. Then again, with the fight we were going to, she very well could have been strategizing. She wore the same look when she had to think of how to defeat her own father. And before even that, when we went to face Gangrel. I kept an eye on her as we walked to Port Ferox. Going as quickly as we could, we still only made it by nightfall. Meyome entranced with her thought the entire time we loaded the ship, as she was pacing at one point she actually tripped, though I was not beside her to catch her, thankfully Gaius was.
"Thanks." She didn't even smile as she kissed his cheek before beginning to pace again. While part of me seethed, part of me was worried. Even Gaius' wife, Sumia (who was standing not even 3 steps away), looked not angry, but extremely concerned.
"She's seriously out of it, my lord. Her eyes were vacant just now." Sumia walked over to me.
"She isn't in there at all. I've never seen bubbles so distracted." Gaius crossed his arms.
"Nor have I." I mused.
"Perhaps a celebration on the ship, my lord, would lift her spirits?" Cordelia smiled. "Tomorrow is her birthday. Not to mention, she does favor the brew when she wants to relax."
"I've lost count how many times I've seen her take one to her study." Miriel walked up, her husband, Vaike, not far behind after loading some stuff onto the ship. "Alcohol is a depressant; it slows down the brain. It would be beneficial for her at this juncture to have some intake. Perhaps it would allow her to think more rationally."
"It's settled!" Gregor barged in with his wife, Nowi, sitting upon his shoulders. "Today we make with the merry!"
"I hate to be so rough on the lass, but I don't plan to let her out drink me!" Basilio chuckled.
We all looked to her to see she was still pacing, not even paying attention to her surroundings as she ran face first into a giant pile of crates. Tharja popping up at her side to help. Everyone looked to me.
"All right then, but I don't want you all having to fight with a hangover so don't go overboard." I sighed.
"Yes sir!" they all cheered and ran off. I looked back over to Meyome as she almost went off the dock. Thankfully this time Tiki had swooped in and kept her from falling into the water.
"Thanks Tiki," I walked over and picked up Meyome bridal style before she could walk off and get into more trouble.
"Her aura radiates of her internal conflict. She will not settle so easily. You must distract her thoughts until the others return."
I looked down into my arms. Her eyes stared up at me, vacant except a quick glimmer of recognition. She then rested her head on my chest before the vacant look returned. 'I'll take her on the ship for now.' I thought as I walked up the plank onto the ship. I carried her down to our quarters and set her on the bed, removing her cloak from off her shoulders. I then took off my own armor and set it all down on top of the desk in an orderly fashion. all the small noises came from my wife as she sat on the bed, not moving an inch.
"Meyome?" I sat down in front of her. Waving my hand in front of her face, shaking her, doing everything I could to try and get her attention. The only thing I got was no results. "perhaps something more extreme would snap her out of it? Like a kiss?"
"Could that really work," she mumbled as her eyebrows furrowed as she showed the first sign of an expression.
Now was my chance, I hurried in and kissed her, pushing her back onto the bed. When I got no response from that, my brows furrowed as I reached under her shirt and massaged her sides, sliding my hands down her curves. Still nothing. Getting desperate, I went even further by tugging down her pants to her knees, wetting my finger and sliding it into her cave as I leaned in for another kiss.
"Mmmm!?" I heard her exclaim before she began pushing against my chest.
"There you are, love." I chuckled as I pulled away.
"What the hell is wrong with you!?" she flailed her arms in an attempt to strike me.
"You've been spacing out ever since we left the capital. I figured with it being nightfall, it was about time you came to your senses."
She stood up, "Nightfall? Already? How far did we get?" she asked as she stood to pull her pants up and refasten her buckles.
"We arrived here at the port a short while ago. The ship is being loaded as we speak."
"Wow, I'm sorry… I really did space out, didn't I?" she looked down to the floor with concerned.
"That's an understatement. You almost tripped and when Gaius caught you, you kissed him. you walked face first into a pile of crates, and you walked off the side of the dock."
"I did WHAT?!" she shrieked in horror as she brought her hands up to her mouth. "Gaius!? On the li-?"
"Thankfully no, on the cheek. And don't worry, Sumia wasn't mad either. She was actually really worried. Said you didn't even look like you were there."
"I'm sorry for worrying everyone so much lately. It's not my intention."
"Of course it isn't," I chuckled as I stood, drawing her into my arms. "you don't have to even say it, we know you're thinking of a battle strategy. And we're grateful you put you're whole being into your thoughts, we just wish you wouldn't zone out in the process." I chuckle, recalling the first time it had happened on our way to fight Gangrel. Everyone had freaked when she ran face first into several trees before Stahl had picked her up and placed her onto his horse.
"I'm sorry," she hung her head.
"Stop apologizing." I lifted her head up by her chin and laid my lips upon hers. My arm wrapped around her lower back as to bring her form flush against my own. A gasp escaped her lips that caused me to throb. Her hand grabbed my shirt in her fist with a small tug.
"Meyome? What's wrong?"
"Chrom... can we do it? It will be a while until the others return right?" she blushed as she looked to the side.
I started reaching for the rim of her shirt. Lifting it over her head and reaching behind her to remove her bra. Cupping her in my hand and bending over to take her large breasts into my mouth I spoke with my lips against her skin, "I will take you any chance that may allow it." My hands gripping at her sides eliciting the moans from her soft lips however before continuing further, I stepped back. "I want you to get out of your trousers, I'll be right back." I kissed her forehead. Exiting the room I went above deck and caught eye of Frederick, "Frederick, if I may ask a favor?"
"Of course, milord."
"Please tell Lucina and Morgan to lead another inventory check before the ship is loaded. It's better to be safe than sorry."
Frederick had an uncomfortable expression on his face as he didn't look me in the eye. Instead looking up with a cough, "Yes milord, I will make sure no one boards in that time. I'm sure Milady has a lot on her mind, please take good care of her for us."
"Thank you Frederick. But why cant yo-"
"You are presenting quite proudly milord."
I looked down, my arousal showing as clear as day. I blushed as I turned around, "I apologize for putting you in an awkward position, in my attempt to distract Meyome, I myself became like this."
"If you used such measures to distract milady, I'm sure she has been left in quite the uncomfortable position. You should return to her quickly." Frederick chuckled.
"Of course." I nodded and headed back towards the cabins.
-Meyome's POV-
"That asshole!" I fumed after a minute of sitting on the bed in nothing more than my panties, that way if someone walked in I could at least say that I was changing. I covered my chest and walked over to the small circular window, seeing Frederick's mouth moving as he was facing the boat. Was Chrom on deck? I sighed and went back to the bed. Lying on my side I figured I'd punish him by not giving him any. I tried to ignore the heat between my legs and go to sleep. But my legs kept squirming, only agitating it further. I heard the door open.
"I apologize for keeping you waiting. Shall we continue?" the bed sunk from the new weight being put on it.
"I don't want to anymore." I mumbled. 'Damn, why didn't I just stay silent?!'
"We both know that's not true, once you get aroused you could go all night." he chuckled as he began placing light kisses on my neck.
I wiggled my head around from the slight tickle of his fluttering lips. Chrom was a gentle lover for the most part, but when he got extremely aroused and craved the feel of my flesh, he became a bit rougher and much more dominant. It was quite possible that my time was approaching and tonight I wanted both sides of the coin that was Chrom. I would let him start off normally with the gentler nature he possessed, but my plan was to deprive him of satisfaction, eventually building him to that more desperate side he hid so well. His soft kisses and rough hands traveled my back as I adjusted myself as so he had nothing to grind himself against. The more frequently timed aggravated grunts in my ear cued me in that my plan was working, he was beginning to get restless. He reached and wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled my rear back to meet his groin, the firmness pressed against my rear. In a spark of evil genius, I rubbed back against him before adjusting, flipping over and continuing the gentle love, denying him my groin or legs to subtly grind upon. A near silent grumble preceded the gentle flutter like kisses to my jaw and lips. His hands smoothly sliding over all my curves, I felt the warmth of his chest through his tunic.
I pulled back, clutching his shirt, "Chro-!" faster than I could utter his name, his tunic was gone and I was pulled back down onto him. His right hand traveled up the small of my back and caressed the back of my neck, while the left traveled down and brought my hips down to meet his. I licked his bottom lip invitingly, letting him stick his tongue into my mouth and re-explore the crevices he knew so well. The kissing noises echoed throughout the cabin resonated in my ears and made my body even hotter.
"Let's make this trip interesting." Chrom smirked after pulling away. He reached for my panties, I pushed off of him right as he grabbed them.
"Don't even think about it, Chrom!"
A toothy grin spread across his face as he quickly pulled his arm back, ripping them off me.
"What is it with you and ripping my panties off me?!"
I quickly found myself on my back, my husband looming over me. "You act as if you don't like it, when in reality," he reached his hand down and lightly rubbed my folds. "It's one of the things that arouses you the most. Despite my gentle nature, you like it more when I'm rougher with you."
'So he figured it out,' I thought to myself.
"Which is why you deprave me, you silently challenge me to take what I want."
'He even knows my strategy?!' my eyes widened. 'Impossible!'
"So today, just for you, I'll be rough. This time I don't care if the others find out. I want the world to know from your cries, that I'm the one, the only one, who makes your body experience such pleasure." his eyes narrowed, and a chill went up my spine.
"Chrom," my voice trailed off.
The expensive fabric of the sheets screamed as he tore a long strip of it off, with another smirk he flipped me over, tying my hands behind my back before pulling me up. "Spread your legs." he ordered. My knees spread to shoulder width apart, my innards quivering. I heard the rustling of clothes and went to turn my head the sharp voice snapped, "head forward."
Looking back to the front, I decided I would hand over control, just to see what all he would do. I had to pick my moments on when to test his resolve. See if he really could seize control as he was trying to do. With hands tightly on my forearms I was bent over as he held my body at a 90-degree-angle as he suddenly thrusted into me, sheathing himself inside me completely, causing me to cry out in shock.
"Ready?" I heard the sly smile on his face, it was a rhetorical question, not needing an answer as he immediately started moving.
I pulled in my lips and muted my moans. In response, Chrom slammed into me, causing me to cry out, "don't hold back, remember what I said. Your cries will remind the world, that your body is mine."
This slightly possessive side of Chrom made me warm, as he didn't really show it too often. Except for lately, as it seemed that after Eliwood kissed my cheek he became high on his guard. I sighed but it was quickly followed by another loud moan, forced out by another of Chroms rough thrusts into my sweet spot, quickly causing me to come.
"Now we have two issues. One," He spoke while grabbing my right breast, "You allowed yourself to get distracted. Two," He grabbed my left breast, and pulled me up against his back, "You came without me and without even telling me."
"Chrom you know tha-Ahhhh!" Chrom had thrusted straight forward, into my sweet spot once again.
"I dont wanna hear excuses." the growl like voice grazed my ear.
'What have I brought upon myself?' my thoughts contradicted my bodies response to his rough handling, my core throbbing, shivers racing up my spine, and a smile spreading itself across my face.
"That begging look in your eyes, it makes me want to lock you up and hide you away somewhere, so that no one else can even know you can make such a lewd face."
"Does it arouse you, my lord, to know you're the only one to see this lewd side of me?"
"You have no idea." His teeth grazed my neck just below my ear as he began thrusting into me again. "I'll make sure you cant walk out of this room."
Sorry it took so long to get this up loves, I was fighting a really nasty bug that left me sick for almost a whole month. Enjoy the new chapter! I'll post chapter 9 (the final chapter) in a couple days.
