Chapter 24: Young, Wild, and Free

Previously in Chapter 21:

"I love you, Rei. Even with your temper that would threaten to shake this castle down. I'm not trying to make decisions for you; I just don't want to hurt you." Rei stood in front of him, mouth open slightly in shock. Jadeite took that opportunity to sweep her into his arms and carry her back into the chamber, kissing her gently on her face and neck.

Rei wiped sweat from her brow and swung her quiver off her shoulder. Construction on the new archery range finished a couple of weeks ago, and since then it was Rei's daily ritual to practice for hours each day while Jadeite was meeting with his council. She walked out to collect her arrows from their targets when she heard footsteps coming up behind her. "You have exceptional aim, Rei. It's a shame it went to waste in your Kingdom." Rei turned around and saw Jadeite standing across the field, shading his eyes with his hand.

"I'm glad the range is up to your standards, I was afraid my poor grounds men were going to quit under your ruthless demands." Jadeite's eyes twinkled with amusement as he heard Rei scoff loudly. She ran across the field, dropping her quiver and bow in the grass. "If I didn't know any better, husband, I'd say you were mocking me. Not a smart move on your part." Jadeite smiled as he lightly kissed her lips, enjoying her warm body leaning against his. He pulled away slightly and wrinkled his nose. "You stink of grass and sweat. I can't have a smelly queen, so I think its bath time." Rei frowned at him as he kissed her nose. "If you're a good little queen, I may join you in the bath." She started a protest that turned into an uncharacteristic squeal as Jadeite swung her body over his shoulder and carried her back to castle.

Rei sat on a marble bench, watching Jadeite fill the tub with warm water. She loved watching the muscles move under his skin as he moved around to put her favorite scents into the water. Jadeite turned around to talk to Rei, only to catch her staring. "Something wrong Rei? Are there grass stains on my shirt?" He shot her a roguish smile as she blushed crimson. "No, I was just thinking and wasn't paying attention to where I was looking."

Jadeite tugged his shirt over his head and pulled Rei to her feet, running his hands down her back. "I think you were watching me, Rei, but won't admit it. That's alright, though, I want you to look. After all, I look at you all the time." His hands slid under her shirt and up her body, touching bare skin the whole way. Rei sighed and leaned her head on Jadeite's shoulder. "Are we going to bathe or not? You did say I stink and that-" Jadeite cut her off with a hard kiss, breaking it only to remove her shirt. "Let's bathe, wife."

Rei and Jadeite lounged in the bath for a long while, exchanging caresses, kisses and laughs. Once the water began to cool, Jadeite wrapped Rei in a fluffy towel and carried her to the bed. He removed her lean body from the towel and admired her body. Rei squirmed as his gaze, confused as to what was so interesting to him. "See something you like?" She asked coyly, drawing a deep, rumbling laugh from the chest that she couldn't get enough of. "Always. You're so beautiful, Rei. If I had it my way, you would never wear clothes again." Rei looked abashedly at Jadeite, then moaned quietly as he moved to lay over her, kissing her neck and nibbling her collarbone.

Jadeite kissed Rei gently. "You make me crazy when you do that…. It's so enticing." Rei chuckled slightly. "It's only because you're obsessed with me. It's a little creepy." Jadeite kissed her breasts, drawing another moan from her mouth. "You keep insulting me Rei and I will leave you here just like this, naked and wanting." His fingers trailed lazily up her leg, teasing her with his feather light touch. "Ooh, I'll behave, just don't stop." Jadeite grinned into the side of her breast, slowly running his tongue over her nipple and enjoying the slight arch it caused.

"Luckily for you, I don't want to stop, but you have to be a good girl." Rei breathed her consent then gasped as he glided one finger over her slit. "You're already wet, were you expecting something?" Rei started to answer but called out as his finger found her nub and circled it gently. Jadeite kissed down her abdomen, incorporating hints of tongue the further down he went. "Jadeite…." He lifted his head, smoke colored eyes glazed with lust. "Yes, Rei?" "Whatever you do, don't stop."

Jadeite smirked and continued his downward path, kissing both hips and nipping them, making Rei jerk on the bed. Once he had her moaning and writhing uncontrollably on the bed, he moved back to cover her body with his, kissing her face. "I could get used to this view, it's quite lovely. Your eyes shine like jewels when you're aroused, my beloved Rei." She laughed softly at him. "How long did it take you to come up with that line?" Jadeite kissed her mouth hotly, dominating her tongue with his. "What does that matter? The point is that I used it and it worked." Rei shot him a look then closed her eyes tightly as he glided inside her tight cavern, groaning with the intense feeling.

"Ah, I thought that might quiet your insults." Jadeite fell into an easy rhythm, enjoying the spasms as she contracted around his member. Rei tilted her hips upward, digging her nails into Jadeite's shoulders as he moved faster, bringing her closer to an orgasm with each thrust. Jadeite buried his face into her neck as her inner walls contracted hard, causing him to spasm violently into his own orgasm. He rolled off her, breathing heavily as she moved closer to lay her head on his shoulder. Rei laughed out loud, confusing Jadeite.

"What's so funny, Rei? Please tell me you're not laughing at me, my manhood couldn't possibly take the humiliation." Rei only laughed harder, sitting up to catch her breath. "Oh I couldn't possibly laugh at that." She giggled again, "I was just thinking that we're going to need another bath." Jadeite sat up quickly, grabbing Rei into his arms and pulling her on top of him. "You're an incorrigible woman, Rei. Luckily for you, I love it." She leaned forward, capturing his mouth with hers to prepare for round two.
