After me and Ben woke up slowly from our peaceful slumber a short while after we then went back to our bed to see what time it was; and we were both shocked to see that it was now half seven. We then made plans to leave around half ten so we would just get back home around eleven.
Today was going to be very busy; with all council members and their guests arriving to witness Princess Aurora's and Prince Phillip's coronation and End of Tour Ball tomorrow. I knew that they were going to start arriving around half twelve - which was just giving me and Ben enough time to get changed into something appropriate.
With our last conversation on our mind I changed into my dark purple bikini again (which thankfully dried during the night) as Ben changed into his famous dark blue shorts with gold crowns on them. When we were both ready we then walked hand in hand towards the exit of the tent; I then watched as Ben bent over (while letting go of my left hand) to reopen the tent. However when he had done this he then slid his hand back into mine and we left the tent to go and have some final perfect time together before we returned back to the world.
"So Mal-" Ben started after we had been swimming in the Enchanted Lake for a short while.
"Yes Ben?" I replied as he swam up to me.
"You said we could fool around" he smirked at me as we wrapped our arms and legs around each other.
"Yes I did" I giggled. "So what would his Majesty suggest?" I flirted as I brushed my nose against his. "We still need to be careful; in case anyone is watching" I reminded him.
"Yes" he nodded. "But don't worry baby" he muttered. "I have it all worked out" he advised smugly.
"I bet you do!" I laughed. "You naughty beast" I joked. "So what's your plan?" I teased.
"Just follow my lead" he winked at me as he inched his face closer to mine.
"Yes Sir" I replied with a devilish smirk.
"Hmmm" he purred as he slowly looked up and down my face before he crushed his lips against mine. I sighed against his lips as my arms tightened around his neck and I pulled him closer against me. I felt Ben's tongue swept against my lips and I automatically opened my mouth and I moaned against his mouth as his tongue slid against mine. He groaned against my lips as I deliberately swept my tongue against the roof of his mouth and I felt his arms tighten around me. When the need to breath suddenly assaulted our lungs we broke apart and rested our foreheads against each other's as we started to calm our breathing down.
When the lust started to become too much for us again Ben hungrily pressed his lips against mine and we started to get lost in a series of long and loving kisses. However the longer the kisses went on I noticed that Ben was wasting no time as his eager hands were sliding all over my body. And as I started to mirror his actions I took a deep breath in sharply as he started giving special attention to my cold and very hard nipples. I gasped against his lips as he started to pinch my nipples between his fingers and I slid my fingers into his hair and tightly tugged causing him to pull his mouth away from mine.
"I'm going to have you here Mal" he groaned as he rested his forehead against mine again.
"Yes Sir" I repeated; and I heard a growl escape from his lips.
"Let me do all of the work baby" he demanded; and I nodded at him. To start to move things on a little bit I then released his hair from my fingers and I slowly and seductively dragged my hands down his neck, chest and stomach. I grinned as I started to watch his eyes darken in lust; and I winked as I dropped my hands into the cool lake water.
"Let me just release the beast first" I teased and we both laughed at this. So without another word I then quickly slid my hands into his swimming shorts and I grasped his hardening member. I grinned as I heard him his as he brushed his nose against mine.
"Mal I love you" he moaned before pressing a kiss against my right cheek as I started to stroke him.
"I love you too baby" I replied happily before pressing a brief but loving kiss against his lips. "I know no one will ever see us as no one knows about this place but even if anyone did it will just look like we're embracing and bobbing in the water" I added happily and I was rewarded with another low groan. I grinned as I used my left hand to pull down the waistband of his swim shorts down, freeing his member. I went to quicken my hand against him but Ben stopped me so I just continued with my slow movements against his member. As I was doing this he reached down and pushed the fabric of my bikini bottoms to the side and slipped his hand inside the crotch of my suit. I hoped that he wasn't about to drag this out; and I groaned in happiness as I felt him slid two fingers inside of me.
"Oh I love that!" I moaned as I bucked against his hand.
"I know you do" he groaned as we both started to move our hands faster against each other. "I know how to get my dragon's motor running" he grinned down at me.
"Likewise" I grinned back as I squeezed him.
"Lucifer!" He hissed in pleasure. "Oh!" He moaned as his hand slowed against mine. "Mal" he groaned as he rested his head against my left shoulder. "I can't wait!" He muttered.
"What?" I moaned and he pulled his hand from me. I then felt his right hand then land on mine and stopped my hand; I pulled one brow up at him and he winked at me.
"I'd wrap your arms around my neck if I were you" he smirked at me.
"As you wish" I answered as I did this as he hooked my bottoms to the side with his right thumb. He then used his other hand to guide himself towards my core; he then quickly bucked forward and his cold and rigid member entered me. "FUCK!" I shouted out as I noted how much I loved being with Ben like this; and also how much I loved being completely filled by him. "BEN!" I cried out as he started to slowly and deeply pump against me as he wrapped his arms back around my waist.
"MAL!" He hissed in pleasure.
"Fuuuck, BEN! Oh my god, this is fantastic! I can't believe we're doing this!" I moaned as he started to quicken against me.
"Stay still now, baby. Keep your hips locked. I'll do the moving" he advised.
"Ok Sir" I nodded as we stared lovingly into each other's eyes as I kept myself as still as I could as Ben worked himself against me. "I love how we are doing this like this" I added. "Out in the open like this" I moaned loudly as I felt his member twitch inside of me.
Minutes ticked by as we continued to slowly moved and worked against each other; I loved being in Ben's embrace like this. And the more time that passed the more heated mine and Ben's hands roamed over each other's bodies, the more deeper our kisses got and the closer our releases got.
"I'm close baby" he groaned.
"Me too" I moaned back. "Oh Lucifer Ben!" I cried out. "I'm close" I panted. "Really soon" I moaned as I started to feel my legs start to tighten. "Like now!" I stated bluntly as I rested my head against his right shoulder. "BEN!" I shouted as I threw my head back as my release suddenly assaulted my body.
"MAL!" He roared as he thrusted into me hard, which echoed around the Enchanted Lake. "Holy shit!" he hissed as we rested our foreheads against each other's once more. We then cuddled tightly together as we calmed our breathing down; and when our breathing had returned to normal we pulled our faces away from each other and smiled warmly and lovingly at each other.
"It would appear Miss Faery-" he began happily.
"Yes?" I smiled back.
"I love that how no matter how long we are together it still feels like we have just met" he advised.
"Well if we had just met Ben I don't know how it would look after what we have just done" I teased.
"I know" he smiled at me. "But you know what I mean" he stated.
"Yes" I confirmed.
"We have been together for three and a half years; and I wouldn't change a second of it" he said lovingly. "Well-" he started. "Apart from the time where we have had to spend apart" he advised as he pursed his lips together.
"Yeah" I agreed. "That sucks" I added. "But it's worth it" I offered. "I couldn't be without my Beast" I finished as I cupped his face with both of my hands.
"I couldn't be without my Dragon" he returned with my favourite cute and crooked smile.
"Hmm" I purred; and I pushed my face forward and pressed a long and loving kiss against his lips. When we broke apart we then cuddled back together; and we started to savour the last remaining time on our own before we had to return back to reality - unfortunately.
After enjoying a long cuddle in the cool water of the Enchanted Lake we both decided that we were going to have a natural shower under the nearby waterfall. So with this in mind we untangled ourselves from each other and swam towards the waterfall; when we got to the waterfall we climbed onto the rocks and stood there for a few minutes. Initially I winced at the cold temperature of the water but since we had already been in the water it didn't take me very long to get used to the water.
When we both stepped out of the water I couldn't help but giggle at watching Ben shake himself free of any excess water. He then threw me a playful look before running both of his hands through his wet hair. As I watched beads of water roll down his stomach and chest I pushed away any lust from my body; I still couldn't get over how Ben made me feel and I knew that it would never end. Me and Ben had found each other against all the odds - and this was something I was always going to be eternally grateful for.
"Fiancé?" I said as we walked hand in hand in the tent to go and get dried and changed so we could return home.
"Yes my love" he answered as I looked up at him as he dropped my hand.
"Thank you for a wonderful evening" I replied as I watched him crouch down and quickly seal the entrance to the tent again.
"You're very welcome" he advised as he stood up straight. We then smiled warmly at each other as Ben snaked his left arm around my waist and he pulled me closer to him so now our chests were now pushed against each other's. "Thank you for joining me" he added as he used his right hand to cup the left hand side of my face.
"Anytime Bennybear" I replied lovingly as I brushed my nose against his. "Is this how our lives are going to be now?" I questioned breaking the silence. Yes I knew that me and Ben were going to have a busy life and time like what we were currently sharing was probably going to be limited. But at least we were now living together - so our time apart was now somewhat restricted.
"Yes" he confirmed. "And I one for one can't wait" he added as a large toothy grin spread across his face.
"Me neither Ben" I grinned back. "All I need is you" I stated fondly. "Nothing or no one else" I continued. "Just you" I promised with a loving smile.
"And I just need you" he grinned and he pushed his face towards mine and he pressed a tender kiss against my lips. "We best get ready so we can have breakfast before heading back" he added. "Everyone will be eagerly awaiting to see what has happened" he grinned,
"Well I hope we are only going to share the news of our engagement Benny" I stated as I started to feel playful. "Not everything else after" I teased as I winked at him.
"As if!" he laughed. "That's only between us" he added. "Well-" he started which caused me to give him a confused look. "Also Evie if you have girl talk" he explained.
"I see" I said as I nodded. "Thank you" I continued. "Come on my love" I smiled up at him. "Lead the way" I advised and I watched as he smiled at me. We then both untangled ourselves from each other and I let Ben slid his right hand into my left. We then both walked into the tent to go and get ready for our day - where we were both eager to see where today was going to take us.
It didn't take long to get ready and pack our bags; I asked Ben about the tent, bed and chairs and he told me that he some of his staff would come and take the tent down. I felt a little bit bad at the fact he had staff running around after us; and me and Ben had had conversations about this in the past. I had got better with this; but I still struggled with this at times. After everything was packed away in our bags we then went to go and have our breakfast - the last of our prefect time alone together.
"Ben" I said as we started to eat our leftovers from last night as we were sitting down on our picnic blanket.
"Aha?" He replied as he took a drink.
"I know we are going to tell our family first-" I stated.
"Yes?" He prompted.
"But how does it work telling everyone else?" I questioned.
"Like the kingdom?" He replied.
"Yes" I confirmed.
"Well I was thinking and you don't need to agree to this-" he suggested.
"Right?" I prompted.
"But I was hoping you would be ok for us to announce it at the end of tour and coronation ball" he suggested.
"Really?" I asked slowly. Yes of course the Kingdom were going to find out about our engagement but I didn't know what to expect. I knew that there was probably some royal protocol that me and Ben had to follow - I just wanted to know what to expect.
"Yeah" he confirmed. "Unless you think that is too soon?" He asked; and I could tell that he as trying to figure out whether I was starting to get overwhelmed.
"No" I quickly answered as I shook my head. "Not at all" I advised hoping to reassure him. "As long as our family knows first then I don't mind when everyone else knows" I added. "I just wondered what happens" I shrugged.
"Ok" he nodded. "Well after we give our announcement we will post an official statement so the whole Kingdom will know" he explained.
"They probably will anyway" I replied. "The press will be crawling around that ball" I continued.
"Yes" he agreed. "I can't wait for the world to know that you are mine" he purred happily as we continued to eat our sandwiches.
"Ben everyone knows I am yours" I advised. "Like everyone knows that you are mine" I winked at him.
"Of course" he advised and I watched as something changed in his eyes which told me that he was deep in thought.
"Ben?" I said with a smile.
"Yes, love of my life?" He answered happily with a smile.
"What are you thinking about?" I questioned.
"Whether it is possessive for me to be very smug at the fact that we are now engaged and soon everyone will know about it" he admitted.
"A little bit" I replied. "But I like it" I admitted as I started to smirk at him.
"Oh do you now!" He laughed heartily.
"You know I do" I answered back. "But I don't think it is a bad thing that you are smug about the fact we are now engaged. You are meant to be happy about it" I continued.
"I am" he advised. "Very happy" he added. "In fact I am over the moon" he pressed with a large smile.
"Like wise Benny" I agreed. "I love you" I stated lovingly.
"I love you too" he replied and I smiled before I reached over and pressed a brief but loving kiss against his lips. We then went onto enjoy a lovely private breakfast; as we did this I thought about how I felt about the fact that me and Ben were going to make our public announcement tomorrow evening. And the fact of the matter was that I didn't mind; heck! In fact I wanted the world to know; and part of me felt a little bit smug at the fact that when the so called 'order' found out they would know that their plan didn't work. I did then however pushed this thought away; as I was mainly happy. Happy that me and my soulmate was taking the next step in our relationship; and quite frankly I don't think I could be even more happier if I tried.
After we finished our breakfasts we settled all of our belongings onto our bed so Ben's staff could collect later. We then took the scene in front of us one more time before we started to slowly walk back to reality; we walked back in near enough silence, just enjoying each other's company.
And as we got back to the dirt track road I noticed that Dawson was waiting for us; which told me that Ben must have text him when I was getting my things collected together.
Me and Ben then climbed into his limousine; and after Dawson closed the door behind us we quickly cuddled together. I couldn't help but sigh against Ben's chest as the limousine pulled away; I loved the time that we had had together. And yes we had to return back to our hectic and busy lives; but this is what came with being with Ben - and even though it is stressful at times I wouldn't have it any other way.
