Prince Of Darkness
Chapter 7
Hilde remained in Duo's room, sitting upon his bed awaiting his return. "Will he come back Horus?" she said softly.
"He usually does. This is his way of releasing all of the anger that builds up inside of him. He should be back soon I promise."
Hilde sighed and got up off of the bed. She slipped off her dress, leaving only a sheer slip to cloth her skin. "Will you be ok Miss Hilde if I leave?" Horus asked.
"Yes, thank you Horus. I will call you if I need you," she said as Horus made his way out of the room.
Hilde sat back down on Duo's bed and pulled her knees up to her chest, looking out the window hoping for his return. She stared out at the dark landscape for what seeemed like hours, then before her eyes, Duo landed on the balcony and changed back into his human form. He stood there looking out at the night. Hilde got up off of the bed and made her way towards the balcony doors and quietly opened them. She approached Duo cautiously, not knowing if he was ok or not. "Hilde, please leave me alone," Duo said in a low tone of voice.
Hilde paused where she stood. "Duo," she whispered sadly. Hilde followed her heart and ignored his words. She came from behind Duo and hugged him around the waist, holding him tightly as she rested her head on his back. He grabbed her arms and gently pried them off of him. "Hilde, please don't."
"Duo, look at me," Hilde said softly and Duo turned around.
Hilde saw deep sorrow within his eyes, they looked so empty. She slowly reached out her hand to brush a few strands of hair away from his eyes. Before she could do so, Duo gently grabbed her hand and pushed it away and said softly, his eyes casted downwards, "Hilde, please don't. I'm not going to hurt you anymore." He then released her hand and walked back inside his room.
Hilde's eyes began to water as she gazed at him, her heart twisting within her. "Oh Duo," she sighed as she looked up at the night sky hoping for some answers. After a few minutes, Hilde walked back inside, not once looking at Duo. "Duo, I love you," she muttered just above a whisper as she stood in the doorway. With the shut of the door, Duo winced, and his heart sank into his stomach. Hilde had gone back to her room, her words still resonating in Duo's mind.
Hilde laid on her bed, weeping silently into her pillow, she just didn't know what to do. Hilde cried herself to sleep shortly after, feeling hurt and lonely. Duo was still looking at the door, expecting it to open and for her to be standing there. After taking a minute to absorb what had just happened only moments before, he decided to go to Hilde's room. He had hurt her deeply and he wanted to apologize. Duo stood in front of her door, not sure of what he would say. He then quietly opened her door and saw Hilde asleep on her bed. He walked over to her bedside and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. Her eyes slowly fluttered open. "Duo?" she mumbled softly as she sat up slowly. Duo sat beside her on the otherside of the bed and said, "Hilde, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
She gently put her finger to his lips and silenced him. "I know you didn't. It just pains me to see you this way Duo."
He brushed a few strands away from her face and cupped it in his hand. "Don't worry about me princess, I've battled worse enemies than this."
"Please win this battle," she whispered, a solitary tear running down her face.
Duo kissed her tear away and whispered against her lips, "I think I have. I love you Hilde." His lips then claimed hers in a sweet and passionate kiss. The love surged through their bodies as Duo's hands began to slowly wander down her shoulder to her strap, slowing slipping it off. He then placed a gentle kiss on her shoulder where the strap once was. Hilde's head rocked back slightly as he began kissing her collarbone and working his way slowly across her chest to the other shoulder. He eased off the other strap and placed another kiss in its place. He then made his way back across her soft shoulder and ascended her neck, caressing her skin with his velvety lips. He worked his way down her jaw line until he met her lips once again.
Duo broke the kiss momentarily to unbutton his shirt. He gently laid her back down on the bed and took off his shirt completely. He gently ran his hands down her sides, slipping her gown off over her hips, revealing her soft white flesh to him. She had such a beautiful body. The moon casted a gentle glow upon her milky white skin, making her look angelic. As Duo leaned over her, he smoothed a strand of hair away from her sapphire eyes. He slowly leaned in closer, until his lips were barely touching hers. Hilde gave him a sweet kiss, igniting the flames that would set the night on fire. The kiss grew even more passionate as Hilde draped her arms around his neck, pulling his body closer to hers, deepening the kiss even more. He began wondering from her lips and started his descent on her body. He trailed kisses down her neck and down to her soft breasts. He slowly kissed and suckled each soft pink nub, causings sighs of pleasure to escape from Hilde mouth. Hilde held his shoulders firmly, digging her nails into his skin as her body soared with ecstasy. He continued down her abdomen, past her belly button and stopping just before her pelvis. He placed a light kiss just above her jewel, causing her body to squirm beneath him.
Duo brought his lips back to hers in another heated kiss, his body slowly rubbing up against hers, the heat between them intensifying. Duo began to take off his pants, not once parting from Hilde's sweet lips. Hilde could feel his arousal rubbing against her jewel, causing her body to shiver with delight. As soon as Duo had freed himself, he parted from her lips and looked at her, waiting for approval. "Please don't stop," she muttered in delight. Without hesitation, Duo entered her, slowly working his way in and out, trying to be as gently as he could. With every thrust, the fire inside him grew. Emotions ran wild as he finally let himself go inside her. Duo collapsed beside her on the bed, his body overwhelmed with pure exhaustion. Hilde curled up against Duo, and nestled her head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around her protectively. He kissed the top of her head and she looked up at him. After sharing a sweet kiss she said softly, "I love you."
"I love you too," he said as he ran his fingers through her hair. They both fell asleep after an evening of pure bliss.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Duo's eyes fluttered open as he saw the rays of dawn slip in through the closed curtain. Hilde's warm breath tickled his skin with very gentle sigh that escaped her lips. She looked so peaceful, so beautiful, just like an angel. He held her just a little tighter, pressing her soft skin even closer to his. Her tiny hands rested on his chest as her head was curled beside them. Duo just inhaled the sweet perfume of her hair, savoring each moment. 'I hope I can wake up like this every morning for the rest of my life,' he thought as he looked down at his beloved and gently ran his fingers through her hair. 'It's still early, I think I will lay here for just awhile longer, I'm in no hurry,' he thought dreamily and closed his eyes once again.
An hour or so later, Hilde slowly woke up, her eyes slowly fluttering open. She looked up at Duo who was still asleep, his arms still embracing her. She slowly brought her hand up to his face and brushed a few strands of hair away from his eyes and smiled coyly. 'I've found my prince,' she thought dreamily. She didn't want to let go of this moment, it was just too perfect. Hilde took a moment to gaze at the upper half of his body, she was too caught up last night to even notice. His chest was well defined, very smooth to the touch. His arms were muscular and defined. His face, beautifully sculpted, he reminded her of a Greek god, perfect to the human eye. Then Hilde just rested her head on his chest and listened to the gentle sounds of his breathing.
Duo's eyes slowly opened when he heard the slight rustling of the sheets next to him. He looked down to see Hilde awake, her eyes locked on him lovingly. "Good morning Princess," he whispered softly as he placed a tender kiss on her forehead.
"Good morning to you," she said sleepily. "So, what do you plan on doing today?" she asked with a coy smile on her face.
"Lay here in bed all day with you," he replied as he stroked her soft ebony tresses.
She giggled softly and said, "We can't do that, there's so much to do Duo."
"It can wait," he said with a sly smirk.
She gently placed her finger to his lips and said, "Well, I'm going to take a hot bath. You can stay in here if you want."
Hilde slowly got up, the sheets that were once covering her slipped off her body as she stepped onto the floor. Duo got a full view of her and realized how truly beautiful she was, she was a goddess. Her delicate curves, satiny skin, her goregous ebony hair, she was temptation in disguise. She walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind her, causing Duo to wake up from his trance.
Hilde filled the tub with warm water and soap and climbed in, the suds coming up to her chest. She closed her eyes and images from last night kept flashing through her mind, causing a smile to wander across her face. She sank even deeper into the tub, wetting her hair completely. Hilde opened her eyes and to her surprise, a pair of violet eyes were staring right back at her. "How long have you been watching me," she said playfully.
"Not too long. Is there room for one more?" Duo said sleepily, he still was not quite awake yet.
"I think I can fit you in," Hilde smiled as she made room for Duo. She slid forward and Duo sat right behind her, leaning up against the back of the tub. Hilde nestled against his chest and propped her feet on the other end of the tub. Hilde turned her head slightly so she could look at Duo. "Duo, can I ask you something?" Hilde inquired sweetly.
"Yeah, sure, what is it?"
"How come last night you lost control the first time but not the second time, even though the second time was more intimate?"
"I'm not sure myself actually. I guess my inner demons realized that they weren't going to win that battle," he said as he placed a gentle kiss on her temple. "I'm just glad I won."
"Me too," she said softly as she closed her eyes.
"Hilde, why do you care so much about me? Especially since I've tried to kill you on a few occasions."
"Because I knew it wasn't the real you. I have a knack for sensing someone's true self. Why do you care about me?" she replied.
"You are the only one who has ever cared, see me for who I am and not for what I have done. Besides, being beautiful doesn't hurt either," he said sweetly.
All she could do was smile, he truly was her prince.
