Chapter 11

"So she is safe?" He seemed completely unsurprised by my gain in power.

"Well yes and no," he continued, "she will not be sentenced to death, but that doesn't mean we won't send her on assignments or missions like we do you or Wolfram." I heard Gwendal sigh in relief. The ride back to Blood Pledge Castle was much shorter and much more comfortable considering the treatment of kisses I was getting from Gwendal. It was nighttime when we got back and Gwendal was carrying me because of exhausting events, but I noticed we were heading towards HIS bedroom.

"Gwendal?" My heart quickened. I'd been to his room before, but this situation was MUCH different.

"Do you mind spending the night in my room?" The implication behind his whispered and seductive words were clear. My hands tightened on his chest and my breath quickened as I breathed the word.

"No..." He smiled and deftly maneuvered the door open while holding me and closed it before putting me down in front of his king sized bed. We then proceeded to kissing and hugging each other while at the same time I took off his coat and he untied the back of my dress. Both his coat and my dress slipped off our shoulders and fell in a puddle at our feet. Gwendal turned as we kissed and released me sitting on the edge of the bed, inviting me. I (seductively) placed my knees on either side of his thighs and put my hands on his face while he put his on my waist, gently. I kissed leaning down and soon after Gwendal held me closer increasing the intimacy and passion in our kiss. When we stopped to catch our breathe, Gwendal shifted me onto the bed lying down, his figure leaning over me.

"Mina," that whispered word heightened the effect of the next kiss he gave me and I clung to him thinking that he'd never be close enough. He released me from the kiss and the sudden release made me gasp in pleasure.

"Gwendal...," he started kissing my neck and kept going lower reaching my chest and making me moan. My reactions only seemed to arouse Gwendal even more as he started to caress my thigh, making me shiver. I never realized that Gwendal was sexually attracted to me. I would have thought that he saw no sexual appeal in me since I was so young. With that thought I pressed his head closer to my chest which he was shamelessly kissing and teasing producing a string of seductive responses from me. His hand finally reached the inside of my thigh and onto my moist nether lips. My gasp at his fingers rubbing there seemed to make Gwendal groan and he returned to kissing me, but this time his kiss was much more rough and passionate. Him kissing and rubbing me was too much and I felt myself getting wet down there. His only response was kissing me more passionately and removing my panties in a smooth motion. Soon we were both completely naked and I felt Gwendal's manhood rubbing against my wet curls. He stared at my naked body, ravaging me with his eyes. His intense stare only served to quicken my breathe and heart. Just one question made me close to exploding with lust.

"Are you ready Mina?" His whispered words were rough and breathy with pleasure and anticipation. My breath was equally as breathy, but pleasure made it sound surprisingly erotic and seductive.

"Always Gwendal." Gwendal groaned as he kissed me and pressed his length against my nether lips before thrusting it in and making me gasp with the mix of pain and pleasure. I could tell Gwendal was being gentle and it still hurt, but it also felt wonderful. Being connected with Gwendal in such a way made it all the more enticing as he thrust into me. By the time we stopped, the moon was in the middle of the sky and the bells rang, claiming it midnight. Gwendal was holding my naked body in his arms, caressing my arms and gently kissing the top of my head as I sleepily snuggled close to his bare chest enjoying the feel of his warmth under my hands.

"I apologize for suddenly bringing this on, but I couldn't hold back any longer." He sounded guilty, but I was more surprised by the fact that he said 'any longer' definitely implying he had sexual urges for me before. Wow, so he is a guy( not that I ever doubted*giggle*)." Especially since you're going to be introduced to your new occupation tomorrow." I stifled a yawn and responded.

"Relax," I kissed his chest in emphasis and had the pleasure of feeling him shiver in pleasure of my touch, "I didn't mind at all in fact I couldn't be happier. I'm actually really relieved..." Gwendal didn't fail to notice my strange choice of words.

"Relieved? Why?" He shifted positions so he could fully see me.

"Well I was beginning to wonder if you had any real desire towards me as a woman because before this all we did was kiss, nothing more nothing less," I started thinking back, "and you hardly ever gave me an inappropriate touch much less any implication that you had sexual desires towards me. I was growing self-conscious-" Gwendal's look of disbelief stopped me.

"Is that what you thought?" Suddenly he kissed me arousing the passion once more. Good thing we were both too tired for anything more than kissing.

"Gwendal?" His stare was intense and passionate.

"How could you have ever thought I have no desire for you?" I gasped at the roughness of his whispered words. They aroused my body even more than the kiss. "Every time you push back your hair, the way the wind plays with it. The way your eyes sparkle in the sun, the way your lips glisten after just sipping water. Just the way your whole body seems to move in a fluid and seductive motion when you walk. All of it is enough for me to lose control." The whole time he was talking my heart quickened and my face grew hotter. His words were more embarrassing than the thought that we just had sex. He kissed me once more, but gently this time, like usual. "There hasn't been a moment I do not lust after you. It's just that you wearing that dress, it showed the curves of your body so clearly..." his eyes became dancing fire as he gave a rueful smile, "I could no longer resist the temptation." I giggled as he playfully nibbled on my ear. "And what of you? Did you ever feel anything?" I held back a scoff and instead smiled suggestively making Gwendal's eyes go wide with desire.

"Every time you touched my bare skin, neck, shoulder," I caressed each part in turn and continued, "every time our lips met," I whispered it against his neck and saw his arm twitch I smiled before continuing, "I felt the desire to offer myself to you, to press myself against your naked chest." I did so and sighed in contentment as he tightened his hold on me and pressed me closer to him still. "I've never felt so safe and blissful in all my life. I know why I wanted your body so badly." I stroked his chest. "This is so much better than I imagined..." I let it hang until Gwendal took it.

"...Imagined, you mean, you and me...?" I proceeded to kissing and caressing his chest and neck until all he could do was groan in my ear. "Mina..." his voice became rugged and stopped teasing him.

"I love you so much Gwendal...I can never say that enough." He wrapped me in his arms once again.

"I love you too Mina, more than my own life." With that I fell asleep in the comfort of his arms.
