Chapter Thirty-Eight

Eugene would never admit just how right Robert was. The first day at work was the hardest. He was woken up so early by Robert that it was still pitch black and cold. Eugene had to get dressed in the dark as he didn't want to wake Rapunzel. She needed all the sleep she could get, but he did give Rapunzel a small kiss on the check and whispered that he loved her, not that she realised. When he eventually arrived in the smithy Robert gave him a quick tour of everything that he needed to know which were far too many things for Eugene to remember that early in the morning. After this Robert sent Eugene outside to get some coal to start up the Forge while he looked over the orders for the day and opened up the shop.

"Now I'm not just the Blacksmith, I'm also the Ferrier," Robert said before he noticed the blank look on Eugene's face, "I shoe horses as well as run the smithy. We don't have much to do today, so it will be a great time to actually get you started, but if any horses need doing they will just show up usually."

"Ok," Eugene said trying to take everything in. He looked around, still overwhelmed at this chance he had been given. He never thought about working as a blacksmith. He looked around and saw lots of finished swords and some ornamental projects. They looked very beautiful and expensive.

"What other skills do you have Eugene?" Robert said as he started to move some iron ore around. Eugene thought very hard. He could value things on sight. He could get around almost all guards. He could charm and sweet talk most people into giving him whatever he wanted. Those were essential in being a thief but not a blacksmith.

"Except for being a thief, I really don't have any. My dad died when I was four and I left the orphanage when I was thirteen, before they found me something to do. I've only ever really been a thief," Eugene replied honestly with a downhearted look. He was worried that if Robert realised how useless he was than he might revoke his offer.

"Well, at least we know where to start from. To start off with you'll mainly work as my striker, that means as I hold things you'll hit it with the hammer. After that I'll teach you how to forge and draw. It's quite simple. And your in good hands, I have been told I'm one of the best."

"Really?" Eugene asked, his nervousness obvious.

"Yeah, and I started out knowing absolutely nothing and now I create some fantastic work that actually gets used in the palace. I even forge most of the weapons for the royal guard and the army. I'm really good at weapons but I really enjoy the more delicate work. Eventually, you'll figure out what you like to do best. Unfortunately, in the meantime, you'll get burnt, pull muscles and be exhausted. But each night, when you curl up in bed with your wife after working all day you'll feel so complete. Welcome to honest work Eugene." Robert said with a smile towards the younger man.

That night, after Eugene had shut up the smithy, he stumbled into bed without even bothering with dinner. That day he had dropped the hammer on his foot several times as well as burn his arms a good four or five times. And Robert was right, he was completely exhausted. He didn't even notice Rapunzel come into their room or notice the tray that she put down on the dresser before climbing onto the bed.

"Hey Blondie," Eugene eventually said when she started to rub his shoulders.

"How was the first day of work then?" Rapunzel asked softly, still rubbing his shoulders.

"Hard, tiring, and sore."

"Sore?"

"I dropped the hammer on my foot and burnt myself. Several times."

"Oh, do you want me to help?"

"Nah, its fine. I actually feel pretty good."

"Really, why?"

"Cause this is the first honest days work I've done in my life and I'm looking at the reason why I'm doing it." Eugene said smiling up at Rapunzel and rubbing her stomach. He felt incredibly peaceful lying next to his wife as she began to tell him about all the things that she had done that day and all the things she planned to do tomorrow. Her soft, soothing voice was beginning to lull him to sleep. He was so relaxed and ready to call it a night that he barely noticed that Rapunzel had unbuttoned his shirt and had started to make a circle of eight with small index finger. The sensation was so sensual that he knew instantly what she wanted, he just couldn't do it. He was far too drained.

"I missed you today," Rapunzel said softly as she started to kiss Eugene across his now exposed neck.

"I missed you too, but, and I really can't believe that I'm saying this, I'm far too tired," Eugene said, barely able to keep his eyes open to see the disappointment in Rapunzel's face.

"You're too tired?" Rapunzel asked, to which Eugene nodded rather solemnly.

"It doesn't really look like it," Rapunzel said with a quirk of her eyebrows, gesturing down to the large bulge which had formed in Eugene's trousers.

"What can I say Blondie, it has a mind of its own." Eugene said as he folded his arms under his head with a smirk.

"Ok," Rapunzel said with a widening wicked grin which Eugene didn't know what to think of, until she grabbed a hold of his belt and with a flick of the wrist undid it and yanked his trousers and his underpants down to his knees.

"What you doing?" Eugene asked as he watched his wife climb on top of his legs to separate his knees.

"You deserve something special. You've worked so hard today and you've changed your life for me, for us," Rapunzel said laying her hands softly on the little bump which had been forming.

"Uh-huh," Eugene said dumbfounded. Whenever they had given each other oral sex it had led up to something, so it was for both of them, but this sounded like it was just for him.

"So, just, relax and, um, enjoy," Rapunzel said blushing furiously at the look on Eugene's face. He always made the butterflies flutter in her stomach, no matter how many times they had been naked together or what they did to each other when they were alone. She loved the way Eugene made her feel when he was pleasuring her, and she wanted to return the favour. He had started work today at a very manual job even though he had little sleep as he had been caring for her. He had given up everything to be with her and that made her feel so loved, and desired.

Rapunzel lowered her lips slowly to Eugene's collar bone and started to sensually bite and lick it while her right hand began to stroke Eugene's erect member up and down firmly. This caused Eugene to moan out softly.

Rapunzel smirked, knowing the effect she was having on her husband and began to work lower. She kissed and licked her way down Eugene's firm pecs and hardened nipples. She took the time to lick around them and softly, ever so softly nip them with her teeth. All the while she was still massaging his hardened manhood and feeling it grow firmer and hotter around her hand.

Rapunzel looked up at Eugene again, seeing his face relaxed and his breathing starting to get erratic, smiled as she lowered her lips onto the tip of his hardened member.

"Oh god I have the best wife ever!" Eugene moaned as she slowly took him in deeper into her mouth. His wife, she was his wife and they were going to be together forever. This thought spurred Rapunzel on, causing her to energetically suck and lick, and kiss and stroke, as Eugene moaned and groaned.

"God, Rapunzel I'm going to come," Eugene said as he threw his head back. But Rapunzel carried on regardless of the warning.

"Seriously Rapunzel, I'm, god, I'm going to come. I'm going to come, Rapunzel!" Eugene groaned out as he exploded into Rapunzel's mouth, but instead of feeling the warm liquid hit his stomach like it did last time, he still felt his wife's warm lips around him. He looked down to see her lapping up his juices and thoroughly enjoying them by the looks of it.

Eugene couldn't believe it. He had never seen Rapunzel swallow before. Girls before had swallowed before, but he never expected his sweet Rapunzel to do it before. If it wasn't for the fact that he was now completely exhausted he would grab her and throw her down onto the bed before ravaging her body over and over again. But, unfortunately, Eugene could barely life his head off the pillow.

Eugene let out a deep sigh as he felt the quilt being thrown over him and Rapunzel lying down next to him. He used the last of his strength to pull her close to him. He leaned down and kissed her deeply once before leaving a few lighter kisses on her lips.

"I love you Rapunzel," Eugene said sleepily.

"I love you too," Rapunzel said as she snuggled against her husband before they both fell into a very deep sleep.

The next morning Eugene woke up before the crow of the birds again. He felt very satisfied and well rested. This probably had something to do with the mind blowing blow job he had received last night. He looked down and saw Rapunzel fast asleep against his chest. She looked so very peaceful but Eugene had an urge that only Rapunzel could cure. He began to kiss her softly on her lips before rolling them slightly over to the side.

"Eugene," Rapunzel protested as Eugene continued to kiss her, this time going across her neck.

"Eugene, I'm asleep," Rapunzel protested again.

"I know, but isn't this a great way to wake up," Eugene joked as he moved to slightly be above Rapunzel.

"Eugene," Rapunzel said sternly, causing Eugene to bow his head in defeat. He knew that this was going to be a lost cause. With a very heavy sigh Eugene threw the quilt back and jumped up, completely forgetting that he was nude from the waist down. He heard a very slight giggle from the bed, which was obviously caused by the confusion on his face.

"You think that's funny?" Eugene said in a mock serious voice.

"You didn't complain last night," Rapunzel said through a yawn as she watched her husband get dressed.

"I would never complain about that, and you know it," Eugene said as he leaned in to kiss Rapunzel goodbye. The kiss was soft and filled with warmth and made both of them smile. Eugene threw the quilt back over Rapunzel before he left the room to let her sleep for just a while longer.

The day passed surprising quickly and before Eugene knew where the time had gone it was already time for lunch.

"Well, you're doing a lot better today son, only one major accident so far," Robert said as he put aside the sword that he was working on. Eugene couldn't help but smile, especially at being called son, as he put down his tools as well and followed Robert back into the house. When they entered the kitchen Eugene saw Emily at the stove stirring a very large pot, but he couldn't see Rapunzel.

"She's in the workshop dear," Emily said, without even looking up. Eugene said his thanks as he grabbed one of the rolls from the kitchen counter and went to retrieve his wife.

Once he entered Emily's workshop he saw Rapunzel standing by the desk wearing a very lose and flowing dress made of blue cotton. She was looking down at a sketch and rubbing her slight belly, while she hummed softly. All of a sudden the urge from this morning returned to Eugene. He couldn't take his eyes off her beautiful body or her serene face.

"Oh, hi Eugene," Rapunzel said sweetly once she realised her husband was watching her. She smiled sweetly at him before returning to the sketch she was working on. It was a design that she had made for the daughter of the Lord who owned most of the land around Estrella. She was concentrating so hard on the design that she didn't hear Eugene come across the room until he wrapped his arms around her and began to kiss her shoulder softly.

"What do you think your doing?" Rapunzel said, not bothering to take her eyes off her sketch.

"Well, if you still have to ask I suppose you need some more… education," Eugene said lustfully as he continued to kiss Rapunzel's shoulder.

"Eugene, we can't do that here, it would be wrong," Rapunzel said sternly as she put the sketch away. She smiled to herself when she realised Eugene had stopped.

"Say that again," Eugene said so heatedly next to her ear that it startled Rapunzel slightly and made her turn around to face Eugene.

"What, that it's wrong?" Rapunzel asked, looking into her husbands eyes which had suddenly become dark and lustful. Eugene nodded slowly.

"It's wrong," Rapunzel said again, not understanding what was going on until Eugene closed the distance between them and the air became heated. He was still staring at her, like he was a predator and she was his prey.

"It's naughty," Rapunzel said slowly causing Eugene to close his eyes and groan.

"It's bad," Rapunzel had now backed up so much that the back of her thighs were against the desk now.

"It's… its wrong."

That was the breaking point. Eugene mouth came crashing down on hers. His hands were at the laces of her dress, releasing her breast. As quickly as it had started his mouth was around her nipples, sucking hard, causing her to gasp and descend into heat that was between them. Eugene was working quickly; the urge from this morning hadn't left him but had grown over the morning. He needed her right now.

His hands quickly undid his belt to loosen his trousers enough to release the throbbing erection, but not enough to make him drop them. As soon as he had escaped he reached under Rapunzel's dress to remove her panties in one quick movement.

His mouth found Rapunzel's again as he plunged himself into her tight, wet hole that was ready and waiting for him. Eugene drove himself deeply into her womanhood as Rapunzel bucked to meet him. He was so hungry for her that he didn't care that this wasn't there house and that the door was wide open, all there mattered was this moment of pure lust between husband and wife.

Both Rapunzel and Eugene didn't last that long and collapsed against each other. They both waited a minute to get their breath back before scrambling to make themselves look more presentable. But it didn't fool Emily and Robert one bit. Instead they told them about all the times their passion had overtaken them early into their marriage. This of course made both Rapunzel and Eugene blush heavily making Robert and Emily laugh even more.

"Come on son, time to get back to work," Robert said patting Eugene on the shoulder. Both men got up from the table and walked back into the smithy.

"I know you two are young, and in love, and I really do want you to consider this your home too, but may I request that you two be slightly more discreet, I mean, I'm supposed to be Rapunzel's father. It wouldn't be good if someone was to walk in and see you two having sex in the next room. And believe me, we could see it." Robert said, trying to sound stern, but he couldn't hide the amusement on his face when he saw Eugene's look of horror. After that day Eugene and Rapunzel tried to contain their passion until they were alone in their room.
