I hope you all enjoy the new chapter! And I apologize for such a long wait.

I only own Elena


"I can't believe she talked me into buying all this stuff." Elena worried as she took inventory of her many outfits, ranging from simple cargo pants, to luxury dresses.

She definitely had no plans on dressing up anytime soon.

Maybe she should take them back? Get a refund..

Noctis probably was short on gil as well, and her going on a shopping spree can make their future expenses difficult..

"Wow Princess. You really went all out." A low whistle startled her as a pair of muscular arms held her tight.

After getting over the initial shock of surprise she wrapped her arms around Nyx and leaned comfortably into his embrace.

"I didn't mean too. Iris is a force to be reckoned with once she has her mind on something." She grumbled as she again looked over her new wardrobe. "I might go and return a few things.. Noctis really didn't need to pay for all this." The feeling of guilt weighting heavily she pulled away and started throwing some clothes back into bags.

"The Prince is way more set than we ever were Elena. Trust me. He's been picking up odd jobs, and bounties left and right. You'd probably hurt his feeling if you returned some of these things. He's only trying to make you happy."

Nyx had a point. Her brother was always looking out for her, and was only concerned for her happiness.

"Hey. Don't go spacey. I promise its fine. Did you have a good time?" He asked while taking a seat on the bed fingering one of her lacey pair of panties.

She'd have to admit that was definitely an impulse purchase. And she definitely wasn't thinking about a certain someone possibly seeing her in them.

"Yes. I did." She leaned forward snatching her underwear throwing them into the pile with the other delicates.

"Iris was..." Elena had to think hard about how to describe her new friend. At first she was worried that they would never get along but as the day went on she was finding it easy and natural to hangout with the young woman.

"Hyper." He finished as he pulled loosely on her shirt making her stumble into him, yanking her down onto his lap.

"How was your day?" She asked curiously as she instinctually straddled him.

"Libertus has a couple leads. He's left for Golden Quey." He shared while taking small nips down her neck.

Moaning she ran her fingers through his hair pulling him tighter to her body completely forgetting what she was talking about a few seconds ago.

Nyx eagerly grabbed her backside pulling her hips securely against his.

Gasping she pulled back eyeing the man in front of her.

She knew she would be ready when he was. He would never rush her into something she wasn't ready for..

But is now really the time?

Will there ever be a right time?

Panting seductively she remembered what she was asking him right before he decided to get handsy.

"Did you find how to stop the Kings?"

"Not yet." Nyx sighed as he moved his hand just above her waist.

"Maybe if you let me in. I can help you-"

"Its not that easy Elena. I don't want you involved, this is a dangerous situation-"

"Bullshit."

"Elena-"

"Hello.."

Somebody clearing their throat broke the intimate moment causing Nyx to stand abruptly accidentally dropping Elena unintentionally to the ground.

"Your Highness." The Glaive choked as he looked down to the dark haired woman at his feet.. Who was growling obscenities and rubbing her backside. "Ah. Shit Elena. Sorry.." Nervously Nyx bent down offering a hand to the Princess, but she annoyingly batted it away and stood up herself.

"Can I speak with my sister for a moment."

Elena couldn't help but glare at her brother as she watched him glare daggers at the Glaive.

"Yes. Uh. I'll go get your dinner." Nyx nodded toward Elena before quickly leaving the room.

"Don't look at him like that."

"Like what?" Noctis scoffed as he walked further into the room taking a seat in one of the black leather chairs, still carrying a disgruntled look on his face.

"Like that! You don't need to worry about him." Elena defended Nyx as she took a seat across from him.

"I know you've always seen him.. differently. But I just don't want you to get too infatuated with him. He has.. Problems. And I just don't want you to get hurt.."

Well too late for being 'infatuated' she was already completely devoted to the man.

"I know." Elena decided to just agree with her brother. It was the best way to get him off the subject of Nyx. And he did have a point..

What's going to happen with her when he dies.

Taking a deep breath and shaking those dark thoughts away she looked back towards her brother.

"How are you?" Noctis asked leaning forward to place a gloved hand on her knee. "You've been kinda preoccupied with your thoughts lately."

Worrying her lip she looked away from her brother. She knew Ignis wouldn't be able to keep his observations of her to himself, for all she knows Nyx could have said something.

"I'm fine. Just a lot on my mind. Thank you for the gil, the new clothes are much appreciated."

He looked at her intently, before nodded, and giving her a kind smile, leaning back in his chair.

"Well I just wanted to speak with you about our next destination. And I figured a couple new outfits is worth the gil. We will be leaving for Altissa in the next few days and I just want you to be prepared."

"Prepared? For what?" Elena sat straight pulling her legs up into the chair.

"I don't know what to expect. Our main mission is to save Luna. But if things go south, I want you to leave, Nyx has orders to get you out -"

"Orders?" She laughed, does her brother really think he has any control over her fathers military anymore? Hell it doesn't even exist.

"Yes. He is still a soldier, and I am his King-"

"Noctis. We are no longer royals. We have no kingdom-"

"You are still very much the Princess of Insomnia, and we will get our kingdom back. We won't let them win. We CANT let them win."

Staring sharply at her brother she could only nod, before looking down at her unmanicured nails. "Sorry. I'll try and not lose hope."

"That is all I ask." Noctis stood walking over to his twin. "Just.. I want you to be prepared. Not scared. I have no idea what Ardyn has planned for you.. For us. But we wont let him get that close to you again." Standing she felt him place a soft kiss to the top of her head before backing out towards the door.

"Oh. And tomorrow I'm taking you around town. We have a lot to talk about, that doesn't involve the end of the world."

Excited Elena beamed as she nodded enthusiastically. A whole day with her twin! That beats any shopping spree. Maybe she could even persuade him into being kinder to Nyx.

"Tomorrow." Agreeing she stood up from her seat, walking her brother out.

"Goodnight Sis." He nodded, opening the door, giving one last wave before disappearing down the hall.

"So what did Ignis call this?" Elena asked as she leaned over the table surveying the meaty liquid inside the bowl.

"Uh. Not sure. But its some kind of stew." Nyx shrugged as he took a seat at the table, digging his spoon into the bowl. "Its not bad. Eat."

She knew that, it would be impossible for Ignis to make anything disgusting. Lifting her spoon she too took a large bite immediately moaning as the warm liquid coated her throat. This is exactly what she needed.

"Good isn't it." He teased while taking another huge spoonful.

"Very."

It took what felt like seconds for them to finish their bowls.

Elena stretched rubbing her now full belly, as Nyx cleaned up all the plates to place them outside the door.

It didn't seem like a lot of people worked at this small motel. But they always had clean towels, and never any trash. She was sure somebody else was working behind the scenes.

"I'm taking another shower." She cooed standing from her seat, heading towards the bathroom. Their was no saying when she'd have another warm shower once they left, so she was going to value this simple luxury.

Elena wasn't sure when Nyx entered the bathroom, but she was thankful for his presence so that he could give her a hand with unbinding her chest wraps. Quickly attending to that, once free of the itchy fabric Elena turned around towards the mirror.

It has been a couple days, but she was pleased to see that her healing was finally visible, her bruises have faded to a dull yellow, the long cut down her chest has even turned a faint pink, though to her disappointment the bite mark from that man was still very ugly.

"I don't think you'll need anymore bindings." Nyx whispered as he stood tall behind her inspecting her body through the mirror.

Elena mumbled a quiet 'yeah' as she fingered the wound on her neck. She was disgusted with it. How long was she going to have to carry this around, the vile human did this as some kind of marking...

"It will go away with time." He promised as he stepped around her blocking her view of her body. "You are still beautiful, that mark means nothing." He pulled her hand away leaning down, placing his own lips on it.

"Shower with me?" She sighed running her fingers under his shirt up his chest.

"Mmm. I think I can do that Princess." Pulling his head from her neck Nyx claimed her mouth in a heated kiss, taking the heated moan from Elena to deepen the kiss tasting her.

She was just about to wrap her arms around the solider when he quickly pushed her away. Whining wantonly she opened her eyes, watching him pull his shirt off, she turned around jumping into the shower the hot water heating her already warm skin. If she stayed any longer out there she would never make it into the shower.

She is definitely addicted to Nyx.

Hearing the curtains move, a hard body pressed against her back wrapping his large arm around her small frame.

Moaning hotly she pushed back against him, earning a growl of approval as Nyx pawed at her chest burying his face into her neck giving small bites and kiss all the way down to her neck.

"Nyx. I need you." She moaned moving her head so to give him better access to her neck, backing her hips seductively into his, seeking for some kind of relief.

Grunting he turned her around, lifting her in one swift motion.

Gasping Elena instantly wrapped her legs around him, sighing as the relief she was seeking was lessened as she ground against him.

"Elena." Nyx growled pushing her up against the shower wall, using one hand to hold her behind up, and the other cradled the back of her neck pulling her face to his in a searing kiss.

Several minutes passed as the two were lost in each other, both learning one another, as hands and lips traveled suggestively.

Nyx just took one of her breasts into his mouth when the water immediately went from hot to freezing.

Feeling like a cat being dumped into a bucket of water Elena hissed, and dug her nails into Nyx yelping as she tried to move out of the offending stream.

"GGGEEETTTT OOOOUUUTTT." Elena shook as she wrapped tightly around Nyx trying to take all his warmth.

Cursing he pulled his head out from her chest leaning over and slamming the faucet off.

Breathing hard she tried to get her shivering under control as Nyx stepped out of the shower sitting her on the counter wrapping one of the plush towels around her, than himself.

"Why are you laughing!? That was awful!" She groaned as she watched his body tremor as he let out a roaring laugh.

"I'm sorry Princess. I'm just thinking that the Gods truly don't want us to be together." He joked as he stepped in between her legs giving her a soft innocent kiss.

Huffing she leaned away from him, even though she was just drenched with what felt like Insomnias worse ice storms, she was still very much heated and wanted nothing more than the man in front of her to claim her.

But the moment was over, as Nyx softly patted her thigh stepping away entering the room.

"Are you seriously unfazed. I don't even think I can stand at the moment." She moaned leaning back into the mirror closing her eyes breathing steadily.

"I am completely fazed Princess." Nyx purred smirking as she jumped, slightly startled, her breathing quicken as he stepped back between her legs. "But I don't want the first time to be in a motel shower. Or. well. a motel." He shrugged giving her another short kiss on the lips before backing away lifting her off the sink carrying her into the room.

She really needs to put a bell on the guy.

"Fine." She grumbled as he tossed her atop the bed her towel becoming lose. "But doesn't mean I won't stop trying."

"I wouldn't dream of it." He laughed stepping away appraising the young Princess in all her glory. Before turning around to find something clean to sleep in.
