Life of a Dancer 2 - Chapter Forty Three
Few weeks later...
Axia laid down onto the lounge gingerly. The last few days of tanning, had produced a few red patches, so was still a bit sore from that. She then saw Kiniro fishing just slightly down the beach. As she closed her eyes, she could hear her son giggling at the sight of his father. Kiniro was attempting to cast, but he was using the fishing line like a lute, so it wasn't casting properly. As her custom the last few days, she smoothed some of her mother's aloe vera lotion over her very swelled stomach.
"Mistress, how many times have I told you, this is my job!" Faellia said as she took the lotion out of Axia's hands and finished massaging the lotion into her stomach.
"Many times the last few days. It doesn't mean that I am going to stop being independent." Axia said sighing. She tired very easily now and was frequently caught napping. This time, her pregnancy was sapping all of her energy, so her speech was just her way of protesting. She knew she did not have the energy to do anything except sleep, and was eternally grateful when Faellia showed up a week ago, after she began to show.
The few days before that, Kiniro was good to his word, and they never left their cabin. Axia smiled as she remembered some of the ways he had taken her, and she relished ever way. It was only after she began to show, that Kiniro started leaving the cabin, and took her out. That was when she found out that they were in Jawaii. Still feeling a bit embarrassed that it was 4 days before she found that out, she blushed.
"Mistress are you okay? Is the little one safe?" Faellia said noticing she had gotten a bit red in the face.
"Alejandro is fine. Giggling at his father, but fine." Axia said hoping she wouldn't ask further
"Then what is wrong?" Faellia asked
"I am just remembering that it took me four days to find out I was in Jawaii." Axia said blushing again
Laughing slightly she only said "I see. Well Mistress, I had word that the house is almost complete. We have changed much of it, to allow for all the children that you will be bearing Master."
"Faellia, you realize that Alejandro is a miracle. I may not be pregnant for centuries." Axia said looking at her
"Nonsence Mistress. All your children are miracles, and the Master will be very diligent in keeping you nice and round. He likes you round. He has said so often." Faellia said simply
"Aldo liked me round as well, but he only got to see it for a very short time." Axia said softly
"I wish I had known him, Mistress. You talk about him with such longing. Tell me what was your life with him like?" she said sitting on the hot sand in front of Axia
"Well, he was very quiet when he spoke. When he did, it was with purpose, and quiet reverence. He wasn't that outspoken, and rarely got mad." Axia said leaning back into the lounge
"And what was he like in bed, Mistress?" Faellia said boldly
"Faellia, that is the second time you have asked me about men in bed. Tell me, have you ever had a special love?" Axia asked sagely
"Yes Mistress, but my husband died a few years ago. That was when I took over as your main contact. So what was he like in bed?" Faellia hedged
"He was amazing. He had a capacity for adventure in the marital bed that always took my breath away. He was gentle when I was sad, and loved it when I was happy. He could make it so slow, that when he took me, all reasoning would leave me, but the feel of him. He was simply amazing." Axia said after making sure that Kiniro couldn't hear them
"And what about Master? Four days straight! Is that even possible?" Faellia asked leaning closer in
"Master is none of your business." Axia said possessively
"You can easily talk about Master Aldo, but not about Master Kiniro? Why?" she said bewildered
"Because Aldo is dead. But Kini is not, and well, I don't kiss and tell." Axia said and closed her eyes, giving her the signal that discussion was over.
"Okay Mistress, I will not ask again. Lily and Lachlan will be here later on for the wedding. Lexkai and Madame Teng said that they were Quote "Busy in bed" Unquote." she said as she saw Axia crack a smile
"Thank you for taking care of the details Faellia. It has really lifted a weight off of my shoulders." she said with her eyes still closed
"Anything for you Mistress. Now would you like a pillow for your legs?" Faellia said
"No I am all right. Just tired again." Axia said softly
"Then rest Mistress. I am sure you will need your rest for tonight's ceremony." she said
"Yes, I will be seeking formal approval from Axis, via Lachlan." Axia said
"Well rest Mistress and I will see you in a few hours." she said as she put up the umbrella to protect Axia from the sun rays as she slept.
