Mei jolts upwards in her bed, her body is hot and sweaty and she looked terrified of the dream she just had, she put a hand on her chest, searching for a wound, but couldn't find one. She sighed in relief as she kept telling herself it was just a dream. She shivered and put her hands on her arms in an attempt to warm herself up; she pushed a black bang out her face as the door opened, Mei looked up and saw her husband, she smiled a little as he sat on the bed with her,
"What's wrong?" he asked, caressing her arms, Mei sighed,
"I-I just had a nightmare, I'm okay…" she replied, shivering, he felt this and embraced the woman from behind, planting a kiss on her neck and caressing the exposed skin with his lips, making her moan a little,
"You didn't sound okay" he said, resting his head on her shoulder as his arms snake round her waist,
"Did I…scream?" she asked, eyes wide,
"It wasn't that much of a scream, it was more of a loud gasp and heavy breathing" he replied, Mei sighed, "Look at me, Mei" he said to her, Mei turned to her head and met his gaze, he smiled and stroked her cheek which confused the woman, "Your eyes sparkle the most beautiful colour you know"
He leaned in a little closer and closed his eyes, his breath hot on her cheek as he paused just before he met her lips. He hesitated before pulling her head closer to his so that their lips met, Wang stroked her hair lovingly as the kiss deepened and he pushed her back onto the bed. He stroked the skin of her arms, warming them up and making her relax a little. He retreated from the lip contact and stared into her eyes, those amber eyes that were so inviting and her black, soft hair that you couldn't help but just adore. She was just…perfect. And his light brown eyes that were comforting and loving, plus the masculine body that told all the ladies that he was a man of lean and strong stamina and muscles. Which was true, he didn't look lean, but he had a good body, a hard chest, strong arms and reasonable but not too much muscle.
He rested his forehead on hers and smiled, there was no way he would've thought he could get a woman like this, one who loved him for who he was and not his reputation as a Prince. But she was a Princess, surely she had had the stereotypical knob head try and court her because of her reputation. She had told him once about a man of 23 who caught her at the park one day and he tried to mess with her sexually, which infuriated the Emperor and he got what he deserved. But there was one thing that still plagued Wang's mind, what had happened to her mother, her father's wife?
Wang sat back up on the bed, with Mei's head gently resting on his lap, looking up at him, "Mei?" he said, she turned her attention to him and raised her eyebrows, "Can I ask something?"
"Yes, what is it?"
"What…What happened to your mother? You never told me" he said, he saw the smile and the light of her face slink away as he eyes saddened, "Mei?" Wang said worriedly, Mei sat up and perched herself on the edge of her bed, avoiding his gaze, not wanting him to see the sadness in her face. He sat next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, which made her calm a little as she put her head on his shoulder,
"My…mother…" she said saddened, "When I was 6, me and my mother went to town and to the market to get some more fruit and food" she said, Wang listened with all his attention and nodded, "When it was getting dark, she told me to be quiet, she said to stay behind her and to try and hide. She was awfully mysterious and alert, it was then that I realised that there was some men circling us. I hid behind her and because I was so young, I didn't really understand what was happening" her voice became more stuttered as tears formed in her eyes, the memory seeming too much for her, Wang stroked her hair and told her it was okay, but she went on, "A man snatched me away and another tackled my mother to the ground, the man who got me held me to his chest, like he was hugging me and keeping me from danger. But there was no doubt in my mind that he was with them; he was talking to them and everything. And when I burst into tears when in his arms, he comforted me and told me it was okay. I can't remember what he looked like, but I remember that voice, so deep and so scary. But he was so comforting, but he scared me, the next thing I knew was he went to my father's and handed me to my father and told him that my mother had died. But somewhere in my mind I knew that he was somehow involved in her death. The next day, I heard my mother was found in the middle of town, stabbed in the stomach, blood pooling around her, the marks of her blood could never be cleaned. It's still there"
Wang's heart just crumbled when he heard the story of how her mother died, he looked over at Mei and his heart just broke when he saw that she was crying and covering her eyes with her hands, Wang sighed and pulled her into an embrace. Her face snuggling into his chest as Wang just kept telling her it was all okay now, that event had to be so traumatizing for her. She saw her mother get stabbed right in front of her eyes, the woman who gave her life, the one who gave birth to her, murdered right there. The explanation behind the murder was unknown, maybe because she was the wife of the Emperor, but surely if they wanted to get to the Emperor they would use his only child rather than his wife.
"Wang…" she cried as she hugged him back, tears flowing down her face, "…I'm sorry,for being like this, I-I don't mean t-" her sentence was cut off by Wang placing his finger in front of her lips as he faced her,
"It's okay, Mei. Don't apologise" he said, he pulled her back to his chest as he laid back on the bed, her head laying softly on his chest as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, stroking her head and muttering sweet things to her as she slowly, slowly, drifted away to sleep,
"Goodnight" Wang said before he closed his eyes as well.
…
Kiku hung around outside, occasionally looking over his shoulder for the man he was looking for. Eventually, he saw the wanted man and smiled, the other stood in front of his and handed him a package. Kiku gladly took it and gave the man a tip and sent him on his way, he finally had what he needed and he would put that plant into action sooner or later.
As he headed back to his room, clenching the package in his hand he passed the woman's bedroom, he peeked inside slightly and frowned. Oh, that's right; he was in there with her. Soundly sleeping, not a care in the world, but Kiku all but smiled, he'd have his revenge on that bastard sooner or later. He huffed and carried on to his room, closing the door shut behind him and lighting a single candle. His package was a bag, a velvet bag and as he emptied the contents on his desk, he smiled and chuckled, it looked like is plan was going to work, he held the item up in the air and laughed.
He was going to get that bastard…
..
I know short right? XD
