Wow! I feel like it has been forever! Jeez school is killing me, I'm so ready to graduate. Enough about my problems, I'll let you read now.

Chapter 10- Duties

Elson walked out of the dining hall and went back upstairs to were the message was waiting from him. He unrolled the letter and his eyes darted over the hastily written paper from Annabelle. He sat in his chair and rubbed his temples. Twenty minutes passed and his door creaked open.

"Elson? Is everything alright?" Samantha asked nervously.

"No." The ice King said in almost a whisper.

"Whats going on?" She inched closer to his desk. He looked up at her concerned face, and gazed into her enchanting eyes.

" The King of the Southern Isles is coming to Arendell within the next few days to kill me." Samantha gasped but did not say a word so Elson continued. "But his daughters are with him and they plan to kill him...they say he his very strong." He stopped and let out a long sigh. "So they need my help." He sighed once more and leaned back in his chair.

"Kill their own father. But-" Elson cut her off.

"They said its the only way. There isn't another outcome that would end well for anyone." He stared at the ceiling now while he spoke.

"Wouldn't you killing the King of the Southern Isles cause even more problems?" Samantha asked.

"No. I don't believe the King's people have been taking well to his... leadership, but they do seem to favor his oldest daughter. She would be Queen if he does die, so I guess it would work out..." The emotionless tone of Elson's voice worried even more Samantha.

"Let me help." Samantha stepped around desk and stood in front of him.

"No Samantha that is out of the question! I am not going to put you in danger again!" He rose out of his chair.

"He is powerful! His daughter's said it themselves! Against them, you and I he wouldn't stand a chance Elson! And for the last time, what happened with Hannah is not your fault!" She yelled back at him.

"No! I am not going to risk losing you!" He barked. Snow began to fall in the room, but the ice sorcerers payed no attention to it at the moment.

"Oh you don't want to lose me?! How do you think I feel about you running off to go fight someone who wants you dead! I don't care if you are the King, you aren't invincible Elson! That's why I want to help you!" Samantha balled up her fist as more snow began to flurry through the room.

"For the last time...No." He brushed past her and flung open the door, and heard a loud thud.

He looked out the door and saw Kristina and Andrew on the ground. They had their ears pressed to the door listening to Elson and Samantha's conversation, but were interrupted by the sudden door to the face. Elson shook his head and briskly walked down the hallway. Andrew peeked his head into Elson's office and his mouth dropped when he saw the room covered with snow. Standing in the middle of the room with a extremely pissed off Samantha who walked out of the room in the opposite direction Elson went in.

"I..I wondered what happened." Kristina finally said after viewing the now snow covered room.

"I have now idea. I couldn't hear a thing over the wind in here." Andrew lightly kicked some of the snow.

Samantha walked to her room and slammed the door behind her. She paced around her room for a moment before flopping onto her bed. She took a deep breath and got back up after an hour of attempting to just fall asleep and forget the argument she'd just had. She walked out of her room and went outside to the garden. She did not know why the place was so calming to her, but she obviously wasn't the only one who thought so. When see got there she saw Elson sitting with his back against a tree and his eyes closed. Samantha shuffled over to him and sat beside him. Elson's eyes opened , he turned his head and looked at her.

"Hey." He said softly.

"Hi." She whispered back. The cool wind gently blew the leaves on the tall oak tree, and caused some of the hundreds of flowers to dance. Awkward silence engulfed the couple until they couldn't take it anymore.

"I'm sorry." They both blurted out at the same time.

"I should have just backed off and respected you decision." Samantha said.

"No you shouldn't have. I need you. I really do, that's why I do want you to help us fight." Elson turned and faced his lover, he took her hands. "I need you with me. I was just afraid something would happen to you, but I realized something." He paused.

"What?" She asked as she looked into his icy eyes.

"We are stronger together." He smiled at her. She leaned in and kissed him. She looked down at their intertwined hands and saw a bruise on Elson's hand. She lifted it up to inspect the marking.

"I...was a little upset after our argument and I...punched a wall..." He avoided her gaze. He heard her chuckle and felt her lips kiss his hand.

"I love you..." She kissed his bruised knuckle again.

"I love you to." He said. Samantha reached out and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his lap.

"Do you think he will be hard to take down." Samantha asked. Elson paused at her question.

"I don't know...but if he is...I'm going to enjoy the time I have before we have to find out." Samantha giggled as he picked her up and carried her all the way back to the castle and up into his room. He slowly started to undo the lace on her dress again, but she stopped him.

"Its your turn this time." She said trying to sound as seductive as she could muster up. Elson raised an eyebrow. She began to unbutton his gray shirt, reviling his toned chest. He savored the sensation of her hands running down his chest. He felt her work her way down to his pants. She nervously undid his belt buckle and slid down his pants, she looked at the familiar bulge in his underwear. With shaky hands she pulled down his boxers and her eyes went wide. Even though they had already had sex before she had never seen him this close before. She wasn't quite sure what to do now, but she figured Elson had used his tongue on her so she could do the same to him.

She slowly licked him from base to tip, earning a low moan from her lover. She looked up and him and saw his eyes were squeezed shut. She gently took him inside of her mouth, causing another moan to erupt from the King. Elson pressed his back against the wall to stable his now weak legs. She continued to bob her head back and forth, she found herself growing more excited as Elson came closer to finishing. Elson let out a deep moan. His hips began to move on their own, while his hands found their way into her dark hair.

As soon as he was at his peak she stopped. He snapped his eyes open and looked down at her and saw her looking back up at him evilly. She stood up and kissed him once more.

"Pay back." She whispered into his ear. He looked at her with hungry eyes as she pushed him down onto the bed. She undid her dress and took off her own underwear, and straddled Elson's body. She leaned down and kissed her way up his neck eventually meeting his lips. Their tongues fought for dominance in each others mouths. She breathlessly leaned back up and lowered herself onto him. Elson gripped the covers when he felt her close around him. Samantha began to grind her hips into him, and moaned at the indescribable pleasure she was feeling. She placed her hands on his bare chest to steady her self while she started moving a little faster.

Elson viewed the erotic sight above him. With half lidded eyes he watched her moan loudly on top of him and small beads of sweat drip down her pale skin. He got interesting idea and reached out his hand and began to rub the small nub above her opening.

"Fuuuuck!" Samantha moaned as her eyes rolled back. Elson sat up and wrapped his arms around her, he began thrust into her. Samantha brought Elson's head to her chest while her hands clutched his hair. The sounds of Samantha moaning his name urged the King to go quicker. Samantha could no longer hold back as a wave of pleasure came over her. Elson soon finished after her, and collapsed back onto the bed. Samantha still laid on top of him breathing heavily, she looked up at him and smiled. He wiped some of her wet hair out of her face so he could look into her eyes.

"Your so beautiful." He leaned forward and kissed her. She rolled off him and snuggled into his arms.

"You know...I'm kind nervous about to facing him." Elson said after a moment of silence. "I know...that the King is never supposed to be-"

"Its going to be fine. We are together, so stop worrying." Samantha cut him off. Elson gave her a weak smile and hugged her tighter.

They woke up early the next day. Elson told Kristina to take Andrew away for a couple of days, she questioned him at first but after not receiving a straight answer she gave up and agreed. Elson did not want her or Andrew being in any type of danger while the King of the Isles was there. He figured he would tell Andrew when everything was over, although he knew Andrew would kill him but it was worth his brother's safety. Elson put on a light blue button up with a ivory vest and pants, that were tucked into a pair of calf high black boots. He braided his platinum hair down his back and left his room to wait for the arrival of the king. He stopped at Samantha's room and knocked on the door.

"Sam? Are you ready." He said through the door.

"Sam. I like the sound of that. I don't think anyone has called me that before." She said as she opened the door. This was Elson's first time seeing Samantha in pants. She wore black pants that captured every curve of her hips. Her red corset top was decorated with black lace around the neck line, waist, and tips of the long sleeves. Elson stared at her with wide eyes, words escaped him.

"Umm is this ok?...I thought a dress might be a little inconvenient."She looked at him with nervous eyes. Elson snapped out of his trance and spoke.

"Oh...yes. Its perfect, I like it. Now lets go." He reached out his hand and Samantha gladly accepted. The nervous couple walked down the hallway and awaited for their "guest's" arrival. A few hours past, Elson and Samantha became increasingly anxious.

"The King of the Southern Isles has arrived at the docks your Majesty." A messenger announced as entered the room. The couple stood and waited for the King's entrance.
