AN: Rated M for sex scenes. You have been warned.

Corrin

After Xander and I spoke, we ate the food that was set in front of us. It was meats and greens, all stewed in a type of milk sauce. It looked weird and odd, it was not food I was familiar with. The last time I had tried Nohrian Cuisine in a public setting, I was laughed at by Xion. It was nerve wracking to have to eat this food with even more people watching. There were three forks and two knives next to my plate, and an assortment of spoons on the other side. I was mildly confused, I tried to remember what Camilla had coached me to do the last few days, but it went right out of my mind. I couldn't focus on what to eat and how to eat it.

"The fork on the far left and the knife on the right side," Xander whispered. He was watching my trepidation with the meal and I gave him a small smile. I had to act. This was supposed to be a show of love for everyone.

"Thank-you," I whispered back. I grabbed the appropriate cutlery and started to cut the steak. As I chewed it, it was spicy, but I learned to take sips of water in between bites as it would cool the fire in my mouth.

As we were eating, the guests were talking and laughing with themselves. I could feel eyes on me every so often and I tried to touch Xander's arm here and there, trying to show affection where I could. It was difficult to do this in a public setting as I wasn't used to this. Doing it with just servants or a few people paying attention was hard enough and my acting skills were put to the test during this lavish reception. The round tables below us showed the Nohrian wealth, nobles were decked out in silks, cashmere, and lace. Jewels glittered on fingers, wrists, necks, and ears. It was daunting to see all this wealth before me, and the people were suffering. I couldn't get the sight of seeing the people struggle right outside the castle gates.

"Do you like the crown?" Xander asked me. I was ripped out of my thoughts and turned to look at him again. The circlet? My fingers went up to touch the rose gold circlet on my head and I felt another blush creeping up my neck.

"Yes, it's beautiful," I answered him.

"Good, I'm glad you like it," He said with a smile at me. He kissed my forehead but when he pulled away, his eyes still showed a guarded look. An act. That's all this was. I had to keep reminding myself that none of this affection was genuine. It was all fake.

After that, the music keyed up to a more upbeat note and I noticed that some of the guests were getting up to dance. My eyes fell to Takumi and I saw him approached by Camilla and being asked to dance. His face was stony, which was the Takumi I was used to seeing. I could tell he wanted to deny her request, but decorum dictated he get up and dance with her. As he stood and moved to the dance floor, I caught Camilla's eye. She winked at me and started to dance with my younger brother. Takumi was not used to Nohrian dances, so he was stiff and kept fumbling over his own feet. I laughed softly at the sight and felt Xander's gaze on me. I met his eyes and gave him a smile, and a tension went between the two of us.

When the first dance ended, Takumi went back to his seat and I watched as Leo danced with Xion, the ambassador from Izumo. They danced flawlessly and a part of me was envious that she moved with such grace and beauty. I wish I knew Nohrian dances like she did. It pleased me that everyone was having a good time and I felt a giddiness bubble up in my chest. The feeling in the air was electrifying and it caught everyone up in a good mood.

"Would you like to dance?" Xander asked me, his hand extended out towards me. I smiled and nodded, taking his hand in mine. The electric current surged between the two of us and I felt drawn to him in that moment.

My husband was wearing a black suit that had red embellishments in it. The tie was blood red and the vest underneath the coat was also blood red. He was so handsome. It almost hurt to watch him. Handsome? I thought. I shouldn't be thinking these things. Or should I? Didn't I vow to love him? To grow with him? If I didn't keep my vows, that was a disgrace to everything I stood for. I should keep my vows, and maybe begin to open my heart to him more. I could tell that he was an honorable man, one that kept his word and made sure everyone else was taken care of before he took care of his own needs. This was a man I could grow to care for, if I let myself.

Once we stepped up to the dance floor, I felt his right arm go around me and his left hand hold my right one. We started moving quickly to a fast-paced dance. I didn't know the steps, but I followed his lead as we moved. He would whisper when he was going to dip me, and his low even voice calmed me as we danced. I started to laugh as the dance picked up in pace. I tripped a few times, but I was much smoother than Takumi was dancing on the floor. The dance ended and I was out of breath, letting Xander lead me back to the table where we sat.

We weren't seated for long when a maid came to Xander and spoke lowly in his ear. I couldn't hear the conversation they were speaking, but I saw Xander push his chair back and stand up. He laid a hand on my arm and smiled at me.

"I have some business I need to attend to quickly, I shouldn't be gone too long. I'll have Camilla come and sit with you for a while," He said to me congenially. I blinked. Business during a wedding? Was it really that important? Then again, being a crown prince I'm sure he had duties he always had to attend to.

He left me and spoke swiftly to Camilla and she nodded and moved to take his spot by me. She sat down and drew my hand into hers and she spoke, "You look beautiful, darling, but you need to be more open with Xander, the nobles are talking."

Great, I guess my acting wasn't as good as I thought.

Xander

I was told that Nyx was in danger. I moved as quickly as I could out of the dining hall as soon as I got Camilla to take over my duties with Corrin. She had looked beautiful tonight, my little princess… My? I had no claim to her, other than she was my wife. She looked down right sexy and sultry, Camilla had done a wonderful job on turning her into a Nohrian Princess. She even did some of the Nohrian dances correctly, which I was surprised with. I didn't think she would catch on so quickly, but considering her athletic ability with a blade, it shouldn't have been hard for her to adapt to this.

As I walked down a hallway, a door on my right opened abruptly, a hand snaked out and pulled me into the room. The door shut behind me as I was pulled in the room, and before me stood Nyx. We were in a cleaning closet of some sort, and I was a little surprised to see her unharmed or not in any danger. What was going on?

"Nyx?" I questioned. She smiled at me and ran her fingers up and down my arms.

"I haven't seen you in so long, I missed you… I wanted some alone time," She said, her hands now going up to snake around my neck.

"Nyx, this is my wedding day to Corrin, I don't think this is an appropriate time for us to- "She cut me off with a kiss on my lips. When she pulled away, I didn't say anything, but just stared at the woman that had my heart.

"So? What is your point? I want you, and I can tell you want and missed me too," She replied with a grin.

I didn't object as she put her lips on mine again and I lifted her up into my arms so I wouldn't have to lean down. I walked to the wall on the opposite side of the door and pushed her back against it. Now all that was holding her up was my body and the wall that was behind her. She was pinned there, and our kiss deepened even more. Her mouth opened and I let my tongue move into her mouth to play with hers. She kissed me back and moaned into my mouth. Her hands went up to go in my hair and she pulled my hair. I felt the slight bit of pain but ignored it as I moved my mouth from hers and went to nip at her jawline.

As I nipped at her jawline, I moved my mouth up to her ear and grabbed the lobe into my mouth. I sucked on it and heard her gasping at the sensation. I felt my groin area tighten in response to her gasp, and I felt a heat start to build up in my loins. Gods, this woman was perfect. Sensual and smart, a perfect combination. Her right hand went down to my back and dug her nails in, I moaned. I pulled my head back from her ear and pulled my body back from hers, allowing her to slowly go to the floor. Once her feet were on the floor, I shucked off my jacket and pulled the tie loose from around my neck.

Her hands were busying themselves at her back, trying to unzip her dress. While she was doing that, I was unbuttoning my vest and then my shirt. I was now in just my pants and shoes. She had unzipped her dress and let it fall to the floor. She stood before me naked, she didn't even bother with small clothes. Her breasts were small and her nipples a dusky pink color. They were hard and tight, and I couldn't resist lowering my mouth to suckle on one for a minute.

My hand went to her womanhood and my fingers pushed through the black curls that were there and I found her clit. I tongued her nipple and I heard her cry out. My pants were beginning to get tight from my erection growing, and it was beginning to become painful. My fingers were trailing over her clitoris and making circular motions around it. I put my mouth on her other breast and my free hand was resting against the wall to hold myself up. I bit her nipple, a little harder than normal and I heard her yelp in pain. I didn't care, I was too in the moment to care at that time. Her hands went on my back and nails started to scratch along my back. I moaned and kept up my attentions on her nipple and clit.

Then without warning I thrust a finger inside of her. Her body tightened in response and I felt her pussy clamp down on the finger. I started to trail kisses from her breasts, down her stomach, to her abdomen and finally, I put her legs on my shoulders. I lifted her up, so I could stand, and her back rested against the wall. I was now at eye level with her clit and my mouth went to the clit. I kissed on it at first and then started to move my finger inside her in and out. She was crying out at my ministrations, and I kept it up. I started to tongue her clit, moving it in circles around the clitoris and my finger moved faster inside of her.

Her back arched and she pushed her clit more up to my mouth. She screamed and I felt juices splatter against my face. She orgasmed for about twenty more seconds and when she finally stopped, I pulled my finger out of her and sucked her juices off it. I moved her back to the floor, and fumbled with my pants, my hands shaking. I hadn't had sex with her in almost a month, and I missed it.

Once I got my pants and small clothes off, my erection jutted outwards and I lifted her up in my arms again. She hung limply in my arms, I was assuming from her recent orgasm, and she gazed into my eyes. The love that I saw there made my heart twist in my chest. I positioned myself at her entrance and pushed into her. She cried out and her hands went to my shoulders. I started to lift her up and down on my erection, and I felt her muscles tighten on my cock. I groaned, my head falling forward to rest on her forehead.

I kept pushing in and out of her, thrusting slowly, I wanted to savor this moment. Her nails bit into my shoulders and I groaned, the biting pain making my pace pick up. I started to pound into her, feeling her body shake and tremor as I moved in and out. I angled her lower body so her clit would rub against my body as I made love to her. I felt a heat start to rise in my body, and I knew I wasn't going to last much longer. I kept pushing and thrusting as hard as I could at this point, and I felt her muscles tighten again, then her scream. Her juices made everything so slick and fast and I kept pushing.

I cried out as I came in her. Her whole body hugged against mine, and I felt myself pumping into her. Normally, I would have pulled out, but I didn't want to. I didn't want to at this moment, it felt too good to.

Right after I came, the door burst open, and I turned to face the intruder, not particularly caring that I was naked. I saw Lenore, Corrin's handmaiden, standing there. Her mouth was dropped open in shock and her hand was on her throat. Nyx peered around me at the interloper and I felt her gasp.

Fuck.

AN: Sorry it's short, but it had a lot of plot line in it.
