Busy week, but finally an update!
Thank you so much for all the reviews, especially to Helen, Maya, Yessikg, SeverusHermioneForever and MsCabooo. Thanks too for the alerts, favourites and messages. You're amazing, guys! =D
I'd like to tell you that now this story and the previous one, Afternoon tea with the king, are part of the community The king's children. Thank you Morganaforever, for the invitation! =)
Enough of talking! (As I said once, when I start I don't stop nevermore!). Now, about this one, maybe I should warn you... things are about to get hot in the king's chambers... be careful! And enjoy.
Previously...
"I'm pregnant, Uther... with your baby." She tried to sound calm and sweet, despite her confused emotions. What if he didn't want the baby?
A flattered sound escaped from the king's mouth and he fell over his knees, hugging Morgana's waist and kissing the low part of her belly with so much love. She sighed in relieve and her hands went automatically to caress his head.
"A child!" He said against her belly and kissed it again.
When Uther got up, Morgana could see, with a great relieve, that he was smiling and crying at the same time. So happy, so flattered he was! He reached her mouth desperately. Even so, their kiss was sweet and full of love.
"My dear, you gave me something I always wanted but that I never could have... Well, at least never completely..." He whispered and took a breath. "You gave me a family, Morgana!"
Chapter 24
"That's why you wanted me to be so careful..." He was very excited. "And... and all the faints and your morning sicknesses!" He laughed, flattered. How didn't he realise that?
"Yes... I knew about it last night when Gaius came to see me and... hum... I wanted to tell you in a special way, but I was a bit nervous and..."
Uther took her shaking hands and interrupted Morgana with a kiss. Then the king took her like a bride and carried his lover to the bed, never stopping the kiss, which was becoming hotter. Morgana's arms were wrapped on his neck, keeping Uther very close to her.
"Don't worry." He whispered looking into her eyes as he put her on his bed. "I'll be very gentle, Morgana."
"That's fine, my love..." She was so touched by the way Uther suddenly become so protective! She likes him gentle, but... well, she didn't want him to reprehend himself like that if it wasn't necessary. She wanted the real Uther, the one who lose his self control every time she kisses him a bit harder. "I've talked to Gaius today morning and he assured me it's safe for the baby..."
"My dear..." Uther was touched again. Morgana can be just so naïve sometimes! Of course he knew it's safe for the baby, he'd had a pregnant wife once... "I know that. But I thought that maybe you feel vulnerable and... hum..." He felt himself blushing. King Uther. Blushing. Just like a young teenager who had never had a woman! No! A young teenager who had never even talked with a woman! Morgana cupped his cheek smiling, encouraging him. "I thought that maybe you want me to be gentle..." He gave her a quick kiss, not as gentle as his words, which left the lady with her eyes closed and her lips half opened, wishing for more. "I like to make you feel loved because I truly love you, Morgana." He kissed her in the same way again, amused by how surrendered to him his ward was. "I want to make you feel protected, loved... I want you to feel complete."
"Then complete me, Uther." She asked seductively, glad to notice the fire in his gaze.
"You keep provoking me, Morgana, and I..." He couldn't finish, his lover interrupted the king with a kiss.
"Complete me, Uther." She whispered sounding so powerful that the mighty Uther Pendragon couldn't help but make her wish.
When their lips crushed again, he lost his mind. Uther's hands came to her back, to unlace her dress and take it out, at the same time that he was forcing her down, to the bed. As Uther took her clothes off and broke the kiss, breathing so hard, Morgana took off his shirt, her hungry hands almost devouring his chest and abdomen, going down and down. Her hands felt so soft and warm against his skin!
A pleasant groan escaped from his throat when Morgana quickly flipped them and took his trousers off. So she slowly approached his erection... Uther observed her in expectation, panting. When Morgana finally arrived at it, she gave him a bold look and sucked the tip. Uther nearly screamed in pleasure. She smiled, closed her eyes and put it in her mouth again, sometimes licking all the length, sometimes sucking it hard (what made the king groan senseless, not caring if someone would hear them) and sometimes just kissing the tip with a soft suck.
Suddenly Morgana felt strong hands holding her arms, which brought her up. Her nipples touched his body while he brought her up. The king was completely breathless, his eyes dark with desire...
"Have I done something wrong, Uther?" She asked innocently, just because she was sure it would make him even more aroused.
"No!" His voice was rough and desperate. "No, my dear... but I thought I'd be the one who would complete you..." Always the king... always in urge by dominance... her Uther!
"I'm waiting, then..." She provoked him. "And I'm missing you, already."
This time he didn't give her time for another bold look or more provoking comments. He was over her in the next second, sucking her lips, biting sometimes; his tongue dancing with hers, dominating so easily his ward... His mouth went to suck her collarbone while his hands, which were in her hips, came up by her (still) flat abdomen, her side, reaching her breasts. Uther took each one in one hand, squeezing and rolling the nipples between his thumb and his index, pressing and pulling them. Morgana arched, her moans getting louder.
"Oh, Uther..." Her eyes were closed and her head fell back when he sucked her collarbone in an especially hard way. "Please! Please, my love..." It was so difficult to control himself! Even when he decided to be gentle, Uther always lose his control... He likes it rough, and he knew Morgana enjoyed it too.
"Yes?" He smirked, going to his position and teasing her with his hardness.
"Complete me!" She ordered with a gasped voice.
With a loud groan, he entered, making the lady give an equally loud cry.
"So?" He asked. Just teasing her.
"Again!" She screamed with a rough voice.
Uther felt his erection pulse at her request. He never thought a simple order, an only word from her lips could have so much control over him. He went out, just to enter again, harder this time. His hands went to hold firmly her hips and soon he had a constant rhythm, Morgana's whimpers becoming louder... Suddenly he felt her legs wrapping around his waist.
"Harder!" She screamed while her thighs squeezed his body, and it sounded something between a supplication and a demand.
"As you wish, my lady." The king increased his pace. He was so fascinated to see how he could make her feel...
When Uther felt her inner walls squeezing him, and her breath even harder, he increased his rhythm again. Morgana's nails stretched his back and her body arched when they had their climax together, making both of them groan.
"My dear Morgana!" Uther whispered lying by her side and snuggling his lover. "I love you so much!" He kissed her very sweetly now, caressing her soft dark hair. "You both." He completed touching her belly.
"I love you too, Uther." Her voice was sounding tired. "And I'm sure our baby already loves you too."
"Morgana." Uther called her after some moments in silence stroking each other. "How do you think he... hum... or she will be like?" He had a different bright on his gaze. "Maybe he'll have your eyes? My nose? I really hope he doesn't have my nose!" He laughed softly, making the lady smile.
"I love our child, it doesn't matter how our baby will look like." She smiled... she was calm in a way that makes her looks like an ancient muse. "But there is something I know about it!"
"What?" He looked at her very curious. "Apart that he'll have the best side of each one of us?" She smiled at that.
"Do you know why my sights make me faint, Uther?" She asked sounding calmer than she was.
"Why? Because of the baby?"
"Yes. Our child needs more energy than another baby would need, and when I have a sight I use too much energy too, so... so that's why I faint, and that's one of the reasons why I must practice my magic, so I can deal better with the changes in my energy level." She explained, glad to talk about magic with Uther like that. When would Morgana imagine that? Talk to him about magic fondling him in his bed?
"Morgana, I think I didn't get it..." He was a bit confused, but still calm and happy.
"Uther, our baby needs so much energy because he or she will have magic." She said slowly, very carefully, as if talking like that he could absorb the information with his mind more opened.
For Morgana's great surprise, he smiled flattered and touched her belly again.
"My little wizard!" He smiled. "So our child will be as lovely as you, my dear." He kissed her passionately. "We'll help him with his magic... and you can make that sparks, so the baby will stop crying when he sees them!" Uther suggested.
Morgana smiled and made some sparks.
"Like this?" She smiled widely when Uther's hands came to touch the sparks, just like a little boy would do.
"I like them!" Uther smiled too, chilling because of the energy and kissed her.
"Wanting to be my little Uther?" She smirked and kissed him a bit harder.
"Your magic makes you look so hot!" His hand went to her nape and he kissed her harder.
Arthur and Gwen were having dinner together in the prince's chambers.
"Guinevere." Called him while the girl ate a tasty piece of meat. "Do you think Morgana's sights are really true?"
"Well, Arthur... Until now, everything that she had seen has really happened. Why?" She couldn't understand why he was worried about that now. No that it wasn't important, but...
"My father is in the final with that man, Guinevere... and it'll be tomorrow." Arthur explained.
"Oh... Maybe she saw something different." She suggested. "Gaius always says the future is always changing."
"Maybe..." Arthur drank some wine. "I'm worried, Guinevere!"
"Oh, Arthur... she would be very desperate if things weren't fine... you remember how she was like some days ago." Gwen tried to cheer him.
"How was she when you leave?"
"When I came here, she was going to see your father." Gwen noticed Arthur smirking. "And she was... excited, I'd say. She told me she has something to tell the king." Gwen smiled.
Better like that. Arthur has missed Morgana and his father sneaking to each other's chambers during the night, they never imagined the prince had always noticed that, since they had to pass in front of his chambers... It was so shocking, he knew Morgana and his father wouldn't be only chatting all the night... even so, he didn't want them to be so sad and miserable as they were when his father, stubbornly pretended he didn't love Morgana. They'll admit it. And it would be soon!
"She certainly went to convince father to give up the combat... and I'm starting to think that it'd be the wiser thing he could do now... but he's so stubborn!"
"Arthur, I don't think she went there to talk about this..." Morgana told her about the baby earlier, but she wouldn't tell Arthur. No when Morgana and Uther hadn't even admitted their romance... "She was... hum... she was too happy." She said only, making the prince more curious than ever.
"So, Merlin, have you found something?" Asked Gaius examining the most recent body while Merlin examined the other one.
"Yes, Merlin!" Kevin said loud from the other side of the physician's chambers. "Do you already know how to cure my father?"
"Don't look to us, Kevin!" Merlin warned almost desperately. He didn't want the boy to feel sick again, so they asked him to be near his father while he and Gaius examined the bodies. "I'm working on it. Gaius and I are doing everything we can."
The boy nodded and continued caressing his father's head.
"Gaius!" Merlin was excited. "Look at this liver!" It was much darker than usual and it was involved by a viscous green liquid. Disgusting! Lucky of them Kevin hasn't seen it, otherwise Merlin feared the boy never more would eat Gaius' cabbage soup...
"Merlin!" Gaius was surprised. "How are the other parts?"
"They're pretty normal... nothing unusual apart the liver." Answered the younger man, cleaning his hand in a piece of cloth and taking some notes. "How is the liver of yours?"
"I was still taking a look at his lungs, let me cut a bit more..."
The old physician took his knife and opened the deadly pale skin near the area where the liver is. Kevin tried not to pay attention at the wet sounds that came from the bodies.
"Merlin! The liver... it's like the one you shown me!" Gaius was surprised. "I suppose we found something interesting here."
"So maybe if we treat Mr. Johnson's liver he can awake." Suggested Merlin.
"But we don't know how his liver is, Merlin... And there is no way to know about it now. Such weird symptoms!" The physician was a bit disappointed. "If it is like these ones, so he must be dead."
"No, please, my father can't die! Merlin..." The little boy was desperate.
"Kevin, calm down!" Merlin went to him before the kid could arrive near the opened bodies. "I said I'm doing all that I can. Moreover, I'm sure your father's liver isn't like the ones Gaius and I have seen, because your father is alive..." He talked while taking the boy's little hand and walking him to his father. Gaius watched his boys carefully. "See? He's breathing." Merlin calmed the kid. "And his heart is beating..." He put Kevin's palm over his father's chest.
"Oh..." Kevin's eyes lost the focus suddenly. What's wrong with the boy? "His heart is fine, Merlin... I think I can see it... inside of my mind." Merlin reminded about his gift.
"Kevin!" Merlin took his hands, so the kid could pay attention to him. "Do you think you can take a look in your father's liver?"
"Great idea, Merlin!" Gaius approved, going near of them. "Maybe with your help we can know more precisely how your father's health is." He said to Kevin. The boy smiled. It was the first time someone needed his help... well, for something really important, not to clean something or to feed the animals.
"Let's start, so!" The boy was excited.
Gaius guided Kevin's hands along Mr. Johnson's body, telling how each part should be so the boy could told them if it was fine or not.
"I can know that everything is fine in my father's body, even his liver, because I can see it has a balance." Said the boy. "Although, everything is kind of... slow."
"What do you mean, boy?" Merlin asked.
"I don't know how to explain. I don't know how or why, but touching my father I can know that he's body is healthy... but everything is working so slowly!" He said with a confused face.
"That's fine, Kevin." The old physician encouraged him. "Your gift makes you see your father as a system, not part by part... Maybe when you grow up and have more control over your magic, you can see each part, but for now I think we can work with the information we have. Your father is healthy."
"Thus why he's unconscious?" Questioned Merlin. "I mean... clearly because his body is working slowly, because of the magic, but... why?"
"Good question, Merlin." Gaius sighed. "Before Kevin's help I would say the magic somehow affected the liver. But knowing Mr. Johnson's liver is well... I really don't know." The physician was very frustrated.
"So maybe we should change the question." Merlin's face suddenly lightened up. "The right question is why the magic affected Mr Johnson differently than the dead men?"
"Merlin!" Gaius was surprised in a good way. "It's brilliant!" The younger man had a fool smile on his face. "Maybe the magic didn't affect Kevin's father the same parts it affected in the others..."
"Yes, Gaius!" Merlin was so excited. "And now the question is why not?" He gave the older man some moments. "Why the same magic has affected Mr. Johnson in a different way? Which differences between this man and the others could explicate that?"
"Well... It's brilliant, but difficult to answer." Said Gaius. "The three of them were about the same age group, all of them were healthy and strong men... I can't see why."
"Maybe..." A childish voice broke the silence in the room. "Maybe it is because my father has magic."
So? Have you liked it? Please, let me know what you think.
MsCabooo asked me if Uther is going to know that the sorcerer attempted to rape Morgana... Well, he'll and it'll be soon. And by soon I mean next chapter, most probably. ;o)
Rape is a very delicate topic and it happens more than people usually think. People try to avoid talking about it, even people who suffered it, because it's something that hurts so much! Even telling someone or remembering what had happened hurts. But rape is a topic which should be discussed carefully. Talking is always a good way to make things clear (even to ourselves) so we can deal in a better way with what had happened or prevent this kind of situation to happen to other people.
Well, that's it for now. I wish you all a happy New Year! I hope all your (good) dreams can come true! =D
