Hello there readers!
I apologize for not updating yesterday after I updated my other story- I was beyond tired.
It would not have done my story any justice if I would have tired to do it last night.
Anyways, here I am again!
This chapter is a Mix of Ami/Rei.
uhhh, yea, soo, I miscalculated and the girls did not meet up this chapter. I realized I had a few other things I needed to do first.
I hope you all enjoy this one!
Ami awoke in a warm bed. She had to recall where she was, as it was still dark out and then a small grin formed on her lips.
It had been a few weeks since her and Zoisite had consummated their marriage—and still just the thought of how sweet-but passionate he had been brought pleasant chills to run down her spine.
She felt a hand slide along her thigh and waist beneath the blankets and turned her head slightly.
"My Queen. Did you sleep well?"
"You barely let me sleep." was her sly remark-then she looked up into his eyes.
Ami's breath caught. His jade colored eyes always seemed to draw her in-not allowing her to escape. She had feared becoming a wife-she feared even more becoming a Queen-but through the past few weeks Zoisite had taken it upon himself to teach her, to guide her.
Every night he made sure to sit down and have dinner with her-them both expressing their days. Soon, they began expressing concerns and deep thoughts.
Zoisite, she learned, wanted to be a father. He had finally broken down to her and explained his deep loss and losing his family when he was but a child. Ami's heart had broken for him that evening. She wasn't sure if she was ready to be a wife, Queen, AND a mother-but Ami wanted to give him what he craved.
"Deep in thought my little mouse?"
Ami, startled, looked back at him, "Yes, sorry."
"Care to share?" He pulled her closer, pushing her gently on her back.
Ami smiled-only a few weeks ago she never dreamed of this level of companionship-now, she realized, she relished in it.
"I was thinking about what you've lost."
His face seemed confused, then recognition shown, "You shouldn't worry over that Ami. You forget, I have also gained much-including you."
Ami glanced at his naked chest. "I'm not sure I can share something with you yet-though I long too."
"Ami- we agreed that there would be no secrets between us."
She nodded, "But, I have yet to have it confirmed, so please do not become upset if it's not correct."
She seemed so small in his arms that Zoisite felt the need to protect her-constantly. He realized within such a short time, Ami had nuzzled her way into his heart, and hearing her voice so unsure made him wish to protect her even more.
"Please Ami, speak freely." At his nod, Ami took a deep breath-"I was supposed to bleed two weeks ago-it has yet to come. I, " she paused and swallowed, " I don't want you to become over joyous yet, but there is a possibility I am with child."
Zoisite's eyes became exceptionally large. A grin began to bloom on his face.
He leaned down and captured her lips-as if starving.
When they broke for air, he leaned his forehead against hers, "My dear Queen, thank you. But,"
He climbed on top of her, placing his hands on her still small stomach, "perhaps we should continue our activities of last night-you know," he grinned rather seductively as he nipped at her bottom lip, "to make sure we do have a child soon."
Ami laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer, "That sounds like a marvelous idea."
Rei stayed in the bathing chambers much longer than what was needed. She was wearing a long shift that had been left there for her. She twisted her hands together, staring at the door.
"He's probably wondering whats taking me so long." She creeped towards the door and placed an ear against it. Hearing very little she moved back, contemplating how long she could actually hide within the chambers.
Rei felt irritated. She wanted to escape-but she also had a sense of duty. Torn between two options, and unsure which one to do; Rei figured the best option was to simply not do both.
Mara had tried to explain to her what was expected on her wedding night.
She felt her body shudder at the pain Mara said could happen.
Rei looked around the chamber, searching for a way out. "Nope, I'm not going to go through with this."
Determination finally in place, she moved to the large window situated on the opposite end of the chamber.
While it was large, the window was also one that could open and close—to allow steam out if need be.
The latch was difficult, but with a little extra force, Rei smiled when it popped open.
Looking down though had her questioning her actions. They were easily three or four floors up. She glanced around for any trees-seeing none within jumping reach, she began to investigate the side of the estate. She looked back at a small sound behind her-seeing nothing she started to climb on the window seal.
"AHHHH!" Rei screeched as two powerful arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her, not so gently, from the ledge and against the naked chest of her husband.
A warm breath began to hit her ears as a rather annoyed voice spoke, "What do you think you're doing?"
Rei began to struggle. "Let me go! I do not want to go through with this! My father can kill me, I don't care! Just let me go!"
The arms only tightened and a deep sigh could be heard above her head. "Cease your struggles Wife."
That only seemed to infuriate her more, "NO! I refuse to go from one master to the next! Let me go!"
When her struggles continued on-Rei felt the air knocked out of her when he switched her body and flipped her over his shoulder. Any amount of kicking, punching, and screaming, did nothing to stop him, as he marched out of the bathing chambers and into the main chamber. Rei's fear intensified as he dropped her, in a mixture of flaying limbs and satin, on the massive bed. The next moment her wrists were grabbed and held to the bed, then a much larger body covered hers.
A low growl seemed to come from his throat as he spoke, "I said cease your struggles. Now Rei."
When Rei finally stopped, realizing she wasn't going to win, she turned her violet eyes on him and gave him a look that would make any other man flinch away. It was the best she could do to stop her eyes from roaming his naked flesh.
"Rei- I understand your fears-and I know the type of man your father is. I told you earlier and I am telling you again for the last time—I will *not* treat you the way he did. You are my wife and Queen. I know that you did not ask for this."
Her eyes darkened, "No, you will only force me to do what I wish not too. Sounds a lot like him!" her accusing voice echoed throughout the chamber.
He seemed to sigh, as if contemplating his next words, "I do not wish to force you to do anything Rei. You know the laws of our land. We are not fully married unless we consummate our vows. Your father can request that you be checked tomorrow morning-and considering what I did earlier-he more than likely will." He closed his eyes for a second, and then opened them again, "Not even I, the King, can deny him the right to make sure his daughter is fully married. He can accuse you of not fulfilling your duty and blame you for bringing shame on to his house. He could have you beheaded for that. However, running from me and the situation you are in is not going to solve anything. Where did you plan on going? Especially in a night shift?"
Rei caught him fighting a grin from his face at the mention of her outfit, and rolled her eyes. Her pride almost stopped her from speaking, "I hadn't thought that far ahead yet. I'm sure someone would have taken me in."
He chuckled, "Yes Rei, but I don't think that company would have been as kind as I will be."
Her eyes widened, then for the first time in front of a male, Rei felt a few tears escape her eyes.
"Please my lord."
His blue eyes softened, "I have too Rei. If it so pleases you, after tonight, I will wait for you to come to my bed."
Rei's response was to turn her head to the side and closed her eyes as tightly as possible.
When she felt his hands loosen, and one left her wrist to trail along her face, she felt herself shake in fear.
"shhh Rei, it'll be okay. I promise I will not harm you."
She felt lips right below her ear, and then they began to trail down her neck to the opening of her shift.
When his hands reached for the small tie, untying it and opening it, Rei kept still.
"Please my lord." Rei felt her bottom lip tremble, and the next thing she knew, he brought his hand up to her face, turned her to face him, and then his lips, as gently as possible, moved over hers.
The sensation surprised Rei-and though she tried to fight it, his expert lips, seemed to call to her, and she found herself shyly responding. His hands began to roam, slowly over her body, and Rei felt her body lift slightly off the bed, as if controlled by his simple touch.
After a few moments, she felt his tongue slid across her lips. She opened her mouth for him. She felt herself becoming lost in the sweet sensations that he brought.
So caught up, she didn't notice him lift her slightly and remove her robe—nor did she notice his hands slowly pulling her night shift up. It wasn't until he broke the kiss to pull her shift over her head that she noticed. All at once she pulled away, bringing her hands to cover her now naked bosom. She went to speak but was stopped,
"Shhh," it almost seemed to hum from his body, "I know I'm asking a lot, but please, trust me Rei."
His voice seemed so sincere and his eyes; Rei found she had to look away for a few seconds.
When she said nothing, she felt his hands move back to her wrist and slowly, though with strength as she tried to resist, moved her arms away from her naked body.
His response had her shy self-looking back up at him
"So beautiful Rei. You are beautiful."
Then his lips connected with hers again.
Would you trust him?
Naww-I wouldn't. =P
