ELIZABETHS POV

Its been 3 weeks since our journey into the forest of white dreams. Both sir king and lady Diane have now joined us and we just recently heard a rumor that sir ban had been arrested and held in baste prison. I have been living in the extra bedroom at the top of the boar hat though not by choice… Even though Meliodas forbade me from engaging in all sexual activity unless with him he has yet to even touch me. I wonder if I have done something to displease him as every time I try to help with his frustrations, he just smiles and tells me he's ok then proceeds to ignore me the rest of the day.

His wound from Gilthunder is only growing worse and doesn't seem to be healing at all. He allows me to change his dressings but that's all. The edges are weeping and blackened, the skin around the wound is hot to the touch, it has me extremely worried.

"Meliodas please allow me to try to clean the wound it's only getting worse," I say while finishing up changing the bandages.

"its fine Elizabeth. It's only a scratch. Because little Gil's sword was imbued with his concentrated power it will just take a little longer to heal that's all." He smiles while shrugging on his shirt "don't worry so much" he says walking out his bedroom, back down to the bar

After cleaning the supplies away. I sit on his bed for a few minutes trying to reign in my tears and calm the worry in my heart. I decide to clean what little mess I see in his room since he won't let me ease his tension it's at least a small thing I can do to help. As I'm changing the sheets on the bed I discover a small wet patch and lift it to my nose thinking he may have spilled some ale last night as he's taken to drinking a lot before bed.

Hhhmmm.. doesn't smell like ale, doesn't smell like anything… feeling confused I look back at the door before taking a cautious lick. Its… salty. has he has been crying due to the pain of his injury… no tears would have dried by now…. OH... I understand. Its semen. I find myself feeling a tightness in my lower stomach, but I can't help feeling incredibly down as it seems as though I have failed. I must not be to his liking no matter what he has said before.

Although my heart is full of despair the tightness won't go away. I know I'm aroused, I may be experienced in pleasing men but arousal is still very much a foreign feeling to me as I have only felt it a handful of times. Always around sir Meliodas…

The dampness in my panties is beginning to get annoying so I simply remove them. Before replacing the sheets and heading down to the bar. Hopefully, this feeling will go away soon… as I walk through the tavern cleaning tables while Diane shouts outside to attract customers. I notice Meliodas hasn't taken his eyes off me and he keeps sniffing the air around him, completely disregarding king who looks as though he was trying to engage him in conversation

"Meliodas are you feeling ok?" I ask him carefully as I haven't seen him like this since the night before we reunited with the other sins. Although his eyes are still green and his demon marking isn't visible he is acting the same way as he did then. Almost as if he was running on instinct.

He opens his mouth about to say something but lady Diane interrupts him "captain! We have customers!" Meliodas snaps his mouth closed just as the first customers walk through the door.

The night goes smoothly with me only messing up a handful of orders. I trip over my own feet twice but never hit the ground, Meliodas seeming coming from no, Meliodas seeming coming from nowhere to steady me. Each time his face ends up nestled between my breasts and a pulse of heat races through my center. Both times I had to quickly make my excuses to get to the bathroom to clean the wetness from my thighs. Damn it… does he really need to catch me that way, I don't know how much longer I can handle this...
Last call is thankfully called not long after. As the last customer file out of the tavern I begin my nightly job of cleaning the tables and stools while Meliodas cleans up behind the bar, king snoozing fast asleep outside with Diane and hawk passed out in his bowl of scraps. I breathe a sigh of relief after finishing my chores, thinking I can escape the thick tension hanging over myself and Meliodas.

"Elizabeth. Follow me please, I think we need to have a little talk." Meliodas states before walking around the bar, taking my hand and leading me up the stairs. My hearts pounding thinking that maybe he would require me tonight and I hope with everything in me that's it's true. He walks passed his bedroom though and my heart sinks knowing now that he's leading me towards my own room. He opens the door and gestures me inside before following.

"are you in need of my services Meliodas?" I ask hopefully sitting on the bed a girl can hope I guess…

"no, I'm not, but I think you might be." Meliodas states quietly looking at the door before locking it.

My heart skips a beat but I think I may have misheard his words. "what do you mean? Are you saying you want to service me? If so I must decline as that is my job. I give pleasure, I'm not meant to take it." I correct him softly though my heart rate increases thinking back to the only time I was able to fully help him and how he ordered me to take my own pleasure for our joining

"Meliodas's voice is like gravel as he begins to speak "Elizabeth I told you before, giving pleasure is not your duty and you most definitely should enjoy receiving pleasure." I look up and open my mouth to correct him once more only to have my mouth covered by his hand. I notice his eyes are back to being pitch black and the mark on his forehead is back on display. But he doesn't seem to have lost control completely.

"consider this your first lesson" he smirks "you will not touch me. You will not disobey. You will not muffle your voice. Is that clear?" Meliodas looks conflicted but firm while awaiting my answer.

"yes, sir Meliodas. I understand." I answer pitifully expecting punishment believing that is the only reason he would make those demands. I close my eyes letting a single tear escape them.

I feel a finger tipping my chin up and his thumb wiping away the tear "Elizabeth. Look at me" Meliodas says softly

I slowly open my eyes to meet his vibrant green orbs.

"I will never hurt you. Please trust me on this. I won't touch you without your consent. I apologize for how that must have sounded. I meant that I wanted you to focus on experiencing your own pleasure, so don't touch me. I will tell you what to do to yourself. So you can get used to pleasuring yourself because if you walk around the tavern smelling of arousal, without panties again I don't believe I could stop myself from killing every patron that even looks at you. The third request I admit is selfish I want to hear you moan in ecstasy again. You can always tell me to stop or ask me anything I won't refuse you that."

His speech causes my tears to flow more but for a completely different reason this time " ok Meliodas I will try my best to follow your… requests"

Suddenly the mark and black eyes are back as he grins "great. Now strip and get on the bed" he orders.

I do as I'm told and recline on the bed feeling his eyes on my every move. "good now tell me what caused you to be so aroused all day." He asks while looking over my body with an unreadable expression. He notices my hesitation " truthfully, Elizabeth"

"well as I was cleaning up your room I noticed a wet patch on your bed. I deduced that you must have been pleasuring yourself. Am I right?"I asked wanting to verify that I had guessed right

"yeah that's right. How else am I expected to let you touch me, even to change my bandages without wanting to ravage you." He answered honestly

"but you know that I would gladly help yo.." I began

"no. Elizabeth, even though I want it more than anything I refuse to take advantage of you. You were brainwashed into thinking that it was your duty to do these things." He held up his hand stopping my protest before it could begin. He continues "I refuse to take pleasure in you unless you yourself want it not for the sake of 'duty' but because you want pleasure yourself" he finishes sternly.

"now back to business. Close your eyes, I want you to put two fingers in your mouth to wet them, use your other hand and slowly trace from your neck to your breast. Pay close attention to the areas that feel most sensitive." he says softly while positioning himself behind me so I'm leaning on his chest with his thighs spread on either side of me.

I do as he asks acutely aware of his breath in my ear and the erection pressing into my back. My hands tremble slightly as they begin their journey, finding a spot that feels good behind my ear then my collar bone stroking softly with my fingers barely grazing the skin there. My breathing begins to thin, the feeling of Meliodas's erection amplifying everything. I move my hand further down, I know my nipples are sensitive so I avoid them for now caressing the underside of my left breast. I feel tingles travel the path my fingers have taken setting the nerves there aflame and pebbling my nipples. I finally touch my fingertips to the rosey peak my breath hitching at the spark of pleasure racing to my core. I circle it slowly before lightly pinching and letting out a small whimper. Behind me, I feel Meliodas twitch in his pants against my back and the rapid beat of his hearts.

"now spread your legs, use your other hand to spread your lower lips. Use your second and fourth fingers to keep them open, and your middle to find your pearl. Do what feels good to you, wither it's stroking it directly, pressing on it, or circling it. Its whatever feels best for you." Meliodas breathes in her ear "don't stop playing with your nipple though"

My body feels like it's on fire my core tightening further as I follow his instructions. Locating my wet pearl I stroke it lightly finding it to be too sensitive as my body flinches away unintentionally

"don't worry start slow, circling it" I hear

I try again this time circling it softly just barely grazing the sides "ohhh that feels good" I moan softly starting to quicken the pace. I feel his chest rumble behind me in a low growl his manhood like hot steel against my spine. Suddenly the circling isn't enough anymore and I let out a whine of disappointment

"Now, don't tease yourself. tighten the circle, press with a little more pressure" his voice comes out with more of a growl than he intended.

"I comply and suddenly the pleasure is magnified ten times over. I can't help but release a loud moan of bliss my legs beginning to close before Meliodas's strong hands stop them to keep them spread wide

"that's it. Now use your other hand, go down and enter a finger into that pretty little hole of yours and curl it up towards your pelvis." His breathing is getting heavier

I release my abused bud to place my hand where he wants it and do as he asks "it's not enough" I whimper.

"add a second" he rasps in my ear

I add another finger keeping up the abuse on my clit. "ahhh Meliodas… I… this is….please I need…" I can feel myself slipping my hand is starting to cramp but it feels soo good I cant stop "please I need you to fill me" I plead tears in my eyes being so close but still not able to fall over that precipice.

"no. I won't have sex with you right now but I will help you…" he whispers " hold on to my legs, and relax" his hands replace mine doing exactly what I was doing previously it feels better than when I did it to myself but it's still not enough

"please Meliodas, Please!" I plead tears in my eyes, I'm so close. He suddenly twists his fingers in a way that feels unbelievable and pinches my pearl lightly as he bites that sensitive place right behind my ear.

My mind explodes with the amount of pleasure surging through my body. Someone is screaming I register slightly oh that's me… the pleasure tapers off slowly. Meliodas's fingers are still inside me though no longer moving.

"that was… was… wow" I can't seem to form a coherent sentence. I lift my head to look back at Meliodas only to find his eyes closed tightly, his breathing ragged with his mark splade prominently along his forehead.

"Meliodas…. I still feel extremely aroused but I can't… I don't have enough strength… please let me feel you inside me once more" I try to plead one more time expecting another refusal.

"Elizabeth. You have no idea what you're asking for right now. I can't control myself" his breathing is harsh, his face showing just how much he is warring with himself.

I turn quickly so my body is facing him full-on and kiss him with as much passion as I can manage "please! I want this, ple..."

"I didn't get to finish as Meliodas is suddenly on top of me like an untamed beast

FINALLY! Is my only thought for the rest of the night…
