Briseis was furious she wanted to be with Achilles, she had refused to leave her room or talk to anyone for three days, she was now pacing at the garden within the palace with the Myrmidons close by. It had been over a week. Hector had explained to her what they had planned, she was about to go crazy she had never been separated from her love for so long, but that would all change today since they were dragging in the wooden horse within the city at this very moment.
The Trojans were all nervous they hoped that this would not be a trap, but they trusted their king and princes, to protect them.
Now within her room Briseis ran to her balcony and watched as the horse was pulled to the middle of the square facing the palace. The people surrounding the horse grew quiet, as they heard screams coming from within. They all stared as panels were opened revealing the people hidden within the giant horse. Odysseus came out of the belly while Achilles, Patroclus and Eudorus came out of the head. Hector greeted them with a dozen of his soldiers.
Achilles quirked an eyebrow, Hector came forward and held out his arm and smiled. "Welcome to Troy." Achilles grabbed his arm and shook it. Everyone calmed their nerves as Hector led them to the palace.
Smoothing down her dress Briseis ran out of her room, the four Myrmidons that stayed with her led her towards the meeting room.
"I'll bet you ten gold coins that Briseis tramples down Achilles the moment she sees him." Patroclus chuckled.
"I'll take that bet." Eudorus answered.
As he walked beside Achilles. Odysseus tried very hard to suppress the smile that appeared on his lips, but failed miserably.
Priam and Paris as well as the entire council waited patiently for the others. Entering the meeting room, Hector walked up to his father then turned to Achilles. "How exactly do you intend to defeat the Greek army that you just betrayed?" Priam asked.
Odysseus answered. "In all we have at least twelve thousand on our side, they are waiting for our orders, and in the mean time we can help to strengthen your defenses."
Priam nodded and dispersed his soldiers to escort his newfound allies into different parts of the city, until all that were left, were the royals, Achilles his cousin, Odysseus, and Eudorus.
"Well now Achilles, Hector told me that Briseis was your wife yet you did not mention it when we met." Priam didn't look to impressed, he didn't want to lose his niece again.
Achilles chuckled "Don't tell me you're angry that I did not ask for your blessing first."
Priam glared at him, about to retort but held his tongue as the doors opened and two Myrmidons entered, then a smiling Briseis followed by the other two Myrmidons. Achilles turned and watched as Briseis quickly made her way to him, without a word she ran to him and wrapped her arms around his waist, Achilles did the same resting his chin on top of her head. "You didn't miss me did you?" he chuckled, and grunted as she punched his shoulder none to lightly then poked at his ribs, hiding her face on his chest.
"Well at least she didn't trample you down." Patroclus chuckled.
Briseis opened her eyes and glared at him. Achilles smirked. "I can always let her go cousin."
"Ahehe I'll just keep quiet now." Patroclus cowered behind Eudorus.
Odysseus laughed, "Patroclus, scared of this pretty little thing?"
"Have you ever seen Briseis angry...believe me she doesn't stay pretty long." Patroclus warned the king of Ithaca.
Still holding his love tightly Achilles laughed. "Keep going cousin, I'm sure you won't miss a few hairs from your head or better yet a finger."
Hector and Paris grinned at the sight of Briseis as she scowled at Patroclus.
The Myrmidons surrounded Patroclus, "My Lady take your best shot we will hold him." One of them said, the look of horror on Patroclus' face was enough to make everyone in the room laugh, even Priam.
After speaking for a few hours about the attack that would begin that night Priam decided to take a break. Briseis led Achilles to her room, closing the door behind him Achilles watched her every move, she looked a bit lost. "Are you all right Briseis?" he asked her. She just turned to him took a few steps forward and stood on her toes, brushing the hair away from his face and looking at his light blue eyes as if she was memorizing every single curve of his cheeks, forehead, mouth. Wrapping his arms around her Achilles smiled as she brought his head down to lightly kiss his lips.
The light kiss quickly became heated after a few moments; pushing him against the door Briseis broke the kiss and smiled wickedly at her love. 'Playing games now are we?' Achilles thought to himself smirking as he watched her slowly back away from him lying down on her bed. Walking over Achilles kneeled on the bed and crawled on top of Briseis making her laugh lowering his head Achilles tasted her sweet lips.
"What have you been doing while I was away?" She asked innocently, caressing his cheek.
"Well I haven't killed any men yet if that's what you're asking." He smirked stroking her hair with his fingers, gazing in her eyes Achilles frowned.
"What?" smiling she asked curiously.
"I am such a fool." He answered.
"Why are you such a fool?" she asked a bit concerned.
Achilles softly brushed his lips against hers, capturing her mouth with his. Then broke the kiss and looked at her again. Waiting patiently until she opened her eyes. "Can I keep you?" he whispered.
Briseis lifted an eyebrow and smiled. "Can you keep me?" She repeated curiously.
Achilles smirked, "Does that mean you won't marry me?"
Briseis' eyes went wide her mouth opening slightly, seeing the chance Achilles dipped his head and gave her a heated kiss. After catching her breath Briseis moaned out. "Are you serious?" Achilles nodded as he lifted his right arm and held his head, watching her reaction. "Me...A wife to my warrior?" He nodded again as he kissed her neck.
"Is that a yes?" He continued to shower her neck with kisses.
"Yes..." Briseis moaned Achilles quirked an eyebrow as she leaned up kissing him passionately, panting Briseis giggled as she watched Achilles take deep breaths after the kiss.
He looked at her with passion filled eyes. "She laughs?" Achilles teased tickling her sides.
Then rolled bringing her with him when she was gasping for breath, sitting up Achilles nuzzled her neck, lifting her arms she unlatched the broach to her left shoulder making the cloth fall across her chest exposing her breasts. "I missed you so..." she rasped as he took the treasured mound offered to him and ran his tongue over the pink crest. While his mouth was occupied Achilles hands roamed her body caressing her toned stomach, Achilles leaned forward gently laying her down and kissed his way down to her navel, making her cry out. Briseis looked at him through lidded eyes Achilles smirked and pulled her up to sit in his lap, her back to him. Kissing her neck Achilles fondled her breast with one hand while the other stroked her slowly below he slid his index finger within her gasping Briseis spread her legs wider when he added a second finger. She lifted her right arm to go around his head massaging his neck as she moaned breathing heavily. Moving her hips as his fingers moved within her.
Arching her back her breasts bounced slightly with the movement, Achilles couldn't wait any longer and gently pushed her down on the bed raising her hips, Achilles shed his clothes and entered her from behind his chest rubbing against her back as he pushed himself within her. Crushing her body to his holding her waist with a strong arm, while the other massaged her breast.
"Briseis..." He moaned as he nipped at the pale flesh of her shoulder, Achilles moved faster as Briseis screamed his name with pleasure fisting the covers on the bed. "Achilles...oh god Achilles." Wanting desperately to kiss her lips. Achilles pulled out, turned her around and entered her again, lifting her leg and holding it in place with his arm, Achilles thrusts became deeper and faster. Her walls clasping him tightly as she climaxed, a few more thrust and Achilles followed while kissing her possessively.
Covered in sweat and breathing deeply Achilles moved at the top of the bed bringing his love with him covering them in a thin sheet, exhausted they lay holding each other tightly as sleep took them.
A few hours later there was a knock at the door. "Briseis?" Helen called as she waited for an answer. The door was locked, "Briseis?" she tried again.
"Ahh...must I answer it?" Briseis whispered kissing his chest and smiled as she felt the vibration of him chuckling through his chest, grasping her chin and tilting her head forward Achilles kissed her temple and inhaled the sweet scent of her hair.
"No...But if you don't answer they might think that I have slain you, or kidnapped you, or had my way with you over and over and over..." He whispered, with every word he said Achilles would softly kiss her lips.
"Briseis..." Helen sounded worried, groaning Briseis reluctantly got up and wrapped a sheet around her body, and made her way towards the door. Achilles chuckled as he looked at her resting his arms at the back of his head.
Opening the door, "What could possibly be that important?" she asked looking at the blonde before her.
"Oh thank heaven your all right, Achilles is missing the guards cannot find him anywhere..."
"And your worried...why?"
"He may be your love but he is still a Greek..."
"And also our ally, if Hector trusts him why can't you?"
"Yet he's missing." Helen pointed out. Briseis could hear him laughing within her room. "Who is that?" Helen asked trying to look within the room towards the sound.
"Who do you think...I was separated from him for more than a week, and I am wearing a sheet, figure it out." Briseis closed the door locking it. Looking to Achilles. "What are you laughing about?" she smiled as she ran and jumped on the bed landing on him.
"Oof...ouch..." Achilles continued to laugh as she playfully tried to hit him, grasping her wrists Achilles kept her at bay, then rolled on top of her trapping her beneath him holding her arms above her head. "My Lady...You're blushing." He whispered kissing her demandingly. After what seemed like forever, Achilles broke the kiss with a sigh.
"What troubles you?" Briseis asked with a grin.
"As much as I hate to leave you like this, we really should get ready for tonight..." Achilles mock glared at her. "And stop pouting..."
Briseis smirked and inhaled deeply. "Oh alright, I suppose I can hold on to my urges and control myself until after the battle..." She sat up and smiled wickedly. "May I have one last kiss before we leave the comforts and privacy of this room?" Achilles grasped the back of her head tilting it forward. Kissing her gently, while Briseis explored his body with her hands, racking her nails down his chest she pushed him backwards, plunging her tongue in his mouth she could feel him harden beneath her. Smirking she asked innocently, "You still want to leave my love?"
Achilles smiled and forced her on her back. "Lustful little minx aren't you?"
"Absolutely." She grabbed his head tilting it to the right and sucked at his neck, as he caressed her stomach. Lifting his head from her embrace, Achilles kissed her as he surrendered himself to his lady love yet again.
