Chapter 38
"Once I promised you that my heart would be yours until I died, I meant that, Meggie…I still do" whispered Capricorn in that moment, his lips touching hers before she could say anything in response. When they parted her eyes were aligned with his as she leaned away to hover temptingly over him. She could feel him watching her as she sat straddling him. His hands left her thighs, touching first her hips until they cradled the small of her back. Meggie leaned into his touch even as she placed her hands on his chest, sighing as she peered down at him, liking the way he watched her. She was in control now and she could tell he was waiting to see what she would do in that moment. After a moment, she let her fingers move down his chest. She looked directly into his eyes as she did so, smiling as her fingers suddenly stopped just shy of where he wanted her. She couldn't tell if he was enjoying her teasing or not. She didn't wait to find out as she ended his misery prematurely.
Capricorn knew what she was doing and let her as their eyes stayed joined, speaking without words. When she finally took him in her hand, she could feel him pulsing with a heightened type of energy. He released a breath in that moment as his eyes seemed to close for a moment. He opened them after just a moment and when he looked at her, his eyes were completely black. They were lustful, but also empowered with the type of energy only she could give. They made Meggie end her torture shortly before it had begun and soon, she found her body inching close to his. When she finally let him slip inside her, it was in one fluid motion, and it took him completely by surprise.
"And here I thought you were going to torture me a little longer" growled Capricorn as he settled fully inside her.
"I thought about it, but the look in your eyes talked me out of it" whispered Meggie, rocking her body gently into his then as she started their pace off slow.
"After all, the potion could separate us again at any moment" whispered Meggie, her hands soft against his skin as she felt his hands always drawing her closer. As he settled inside her, Capricorn grabbed her hips, almost on instinct, his eyes closing in the heat of the moment, and a sound that was nearly glutaral leaving his lips. It made something inside her flutter. That was when she increased their pace, her eyes fluttering closed until she felt his grip on her tighten. That was when she looked at him, somehow managing to fall in love with him again as he looked at her in a way no one ever had before she met him. He had always looked at her with such devotion as if she was a goddess. It made her want him closer, his body pressed up to his, and after a moment, she could deny herself the temptation no longer.
Her hands found his shoulders again as her breasts dangled temptingly over to just barely touch his chest. Her hair did the same, she could tell he liked that as he looked at her, his eyes seeming to get darker. It made Meggie moan; her voice lost in this moment with him. She let his hands guide her, almost in the same way they did the first time he had her this way. Their movements seemed to always be progressing. Changing, but never losing the love that connected them so. First, they were soft, then tender, but then they morphed completely into something utterly fierce. Their movements paced yet complete. As Meggie got closer to her end, she felt herself scream even as she didn't hear the sound. Her nails buried themselves into his skin as her eyes struggled to stay open as his hands held her by the ass now. It made her body finally give out to fall into his arms.
"I love you" exclaimed Meggie suddenly the words almost ripped from her throat.
"Meggie" whispered Capricorn in response as he held her in his arms.
"Capricorn" gasped Meggie, when his lips grazed her cleavage then her hands at the back of his head as a sound that could only be the result of great passion left him. For a moment, his name was only a chant as it rolled off her tongue as he hit that place inside her that did things that one really couldn't describe. She let herself be vulnerable with him as he held her. Meggie was becoming a puddle in his arms and yet, that was what she wanted as she did it.
"Never forget how I love you, my queen, there is no one else for me. No woman could ever take me for you" whispered Capricorn as she clung to him. He was meeting her movements now. He was leaving his handprints on her as she left her claw marks on him. He marked her and imprinted himself on her. Meggie wasn't lost to that even as she was caught up in their lovemaking.
"You are mine" whispered Meggie in response a sigh leaving her. It made him move inside her deeper breathing in the heady scent of her skin. He wasn't sure if she was saying it to convince herself or merely telling him. He didn't care which it was as he pulled away to look into her eyes. They were almost doubled over in their heat.
"You are mine as well" whispered Capricorn in response, something inside him snapping as he held the swell of her ass in his hands as he drew himself almost completely away from her. He used it to lift her, keeping them always connected as he did, and he laid her down beneath him. He moved frenzied then as her arms went around him. Their lips met in a kiss of passion and though she was as close as she could get, Meggie pressed herself all the closer to him. She needed him, to feel him there with her after waking up so many mornings alone. She savored the feel of having him with her again as he moved at his pace now inside her. Capricorn didn't think about what he was doing as he did it. He only slammed repeatedly into her memorizing the sounds that left her in response. He held her legs tight around his waist as their foreheads touched mid kiss. They both felt it then, the frantic way they moved together, it aroused something tender inside them as their lips parted, and he looked down upon her.
"You will always be the love my very existence depends on" exclaimed Capricorn stopping only long enough to tell her that before beginning their kiss again. She felt his hands in her hair then as his lips moved in a torrid affair with her own. In the midst of their kiss, Meggie gasped into the kiss as she suddenly lost herself around him and came. Her hands fell away until they were not touching him, but the bed beneath them. Everything seemed to fall away, and he was all she knew even as she knew nothing at all.
"Capricorn" gasped Meggie in that moment her eyes closed as her lips fell away from him too as her body trembled beneath him. Capricorn watched for only a moment before he entered her with a last stroke. His body gave out then, toppling onto hers as he found his end just as she had.
When he did, Capricorn hid his face in the soft skin between her breasts, needing to feel her. When Meggie opened her eyes, that's where he was, one hand touching her neck as the other still gripped one leg, keeping it around his waist.
"I will love you forever" whispered Meggie as his eyes opened too to look at her as her fingers glided over his shoulder blades. Her touch was gentle as they crept along his shoulders first. They moved to his neck after a moment seeming to trace the marks, she had left him with. It wasn't until their eyes met that he saw the love in her eyes though he hadn't needed to. He had felt it long before that. She gave him that smile that he had missed all these months away. That post orgasmic smile that he remembered seeing the first time he made love to her and again on their wedding night. The sight of it made him bring his lips to kiss her making her gasp as his cock was still nestled deep inside her as he did so. When they parted again, his face was in her hands, and she brought her forehead to his.
"I love you" whispered Meggie as they drew away.
"I love you too. That's why you don't need to worry about anyone taking me away from you. A man can't live without his heart and mine is with you, always" exclaimed Capricorn, his body leaving hers as he spoke. He took her hand then to kiss her fingers then the center of her palm. Meggie's eyes were sparkling now as his words sunk in and she drew herself close into the secure warmth of his arms. He laid their wit her, their hands intertwined, but after a moment, Meggie looked at him. He sensed some deep personal importance in what she had to say. He waited for her to say it, but when she didn't, he squeezed her hand. Her reluctance gave him a hint as to what she was going to say.
"What do you think your sister will think of me?" said Meggie, her voice calm compared to how it had been before. Before she had been afraid, but now he didn't hear that. Her voice was now laced with a type of curiosity even as it was on guard.
"I think she will respect you and recognize that I do love you. What she thinks of you doesn't really matter. No matter what my sister thinks, I will love you, always. You will be my queen, my wife, and you are important to me. My sister will recognize that" whispered Capricorn, seeing as his words seemed to ease something inside of her. That smile that he had seen before moved gracefully onto her face. Before he knew it, her hands were on either side of his face, and they were sharing yet another kiss. Her lips moved soft over his until she deepened the kiss until he pulled away. His hands stroked her wrists as he peered into her eyes.
"What's going on with the guards? You shouldn't have to prove you are their queen…they should be protecting you" exclaimed Capricorn, a dangerous tone entering his voice. She knew that tone wasn't for her though. It was for the guards and their failure to do what he deemed their job. It touched her as she snuggled all the closer to him.
"They haven't done anything, really, they just seem to look at me different now. Like less of a queen and more a defenseless little girl. Today though, I think I proved to them that I can take care of myself. That whether you're here or not that I am the queen, and they will treat me as such" whispered Meggie, leaning close when he touched her cheek.
"I am so proud of you…I wish I could have been there to see you hobble Dustfinger…hopefully we'll be together again soon" whispered Capricorn, he touched his forehead to hers then as her arms seemed to loop around him all the tighter.
"I feel myself getting used to being all alone…I don't like it" whispered Meggie, letting him see the sadness in her eyes as they both felt as the potion went away. Something began to draw them away, but Capricorn wasn't going to let those be the last words between them.
"That isn't what matters, you'll just have to get used to me again when I return. Just never stop believing we'll be together again soon. Never forget that you are my love" whispered Capricorn before they were apart again, drawn away, so she lay in her bed and he in his tent, separated once more.
