Chapter 14
CASPIAN'S POV
The next day was rather busy, preparing for the landing on the Lone Islands. The whole crew was excited that this would be their last stop on the Dawn Treader before heading back to Cair Paravel, since half of the passengers lived just a town away from where the castle rested. The men spoke to eachother eagerly of seeing their wives, and Caspian heard some things he would rather not have in regards to how they would greet them. He shook his head, trying to get the image out of his mind. Lucy spent most of the day with the children who had been taken from their families. There was only Adam and four others, but they were all so hyper from knowing that they would soon be reunited with their friends and families that she had quite the time keeping them all in check. Once, Caspian could not help from roaring in laughter as a young girl named Emily who was but three, ran from below deck before Lucy could fully get her dressed, and Lucy came dashing out after her at full speed. He had gotten a smack from her as she passed, but it was playful. Caspian did not get to spend much time with Lucy during the day since she was busy with the children and Drinian kept him busy all day long. All he could seem to think of though, was the previous night. Feeling the skin of her thighs brush against his hands and her teeth at his neck. He wanted so badly to steal her away and take her down to her cabin to relive the situation. Everytime he found himself having these fantasies, he would shake his head, mentally kicking himself. Although he wanted Lucy more than he had ever desired a woman before, he knew they had to wait until there wedding night. Finally, after a very long day, the Lone Islands were spotted in a close distance, and the rescue passengers cheered in triumph. They celebrated with a grand feast and then were off to bed, an early morning would follow where they would go ashore. Lucy eventually got the children to settle down and had them asleep when she came in to the study to find Caspian. He smiled when he saw that she had already bathed and changed into her night clothes. Her hair was dryed and glossy looking hanging at her waist in curls. She beamed upon seeing that Drinian had already excused himself for the night, and bolted over into Caspian's embrace. He chuckled into her hair as he held her, and he could feel her cheek on his neck heating slightly as she blushed. He pulled back, brushing hair from her face before showering it with kisses, making her giggle. She looked at him for a few more moments before getting another burst of energy, jumping up into his arms and nearly knocking him over. He roared in laughter and squeezed her tightly. He spoke into her neck.
"Someone's excited." She blushed once more but remained wrapped around him.
"Sorry! But I haven't been able to see you all day!" He chuckled once more before pulling her back slightly so that he could take her lips. He started out kissing her gently, but found that once he tasted her sweet mouth he got more passionate, exploring her mouth with his tongue with much more need. She pulled away to catch her breath, and he stared down at her lustfully. Her cheeks were heated and her lips red and plump from his kisses. He let out a moan before attacking her lips once more, pushing her backward so that he had her pinned up against the wall. He heard her let out a sigh before he picked her up, suprised when she wrapped her legs around his waist. Caspian knew that they could not go far, but he could not deny himself the feeling of her skin against his own. He moved to her neck, immediatley pulling the soft flesh between his teeth and sucking gently while she had one hand tangled in his hair and the other working on the buttons on his shirt. Caspian could feel himself growing harder as soft moans escaped her lips from his attentions. For a moment, he marveled at the fact that Lucy was his, and that she loved him just as he loved her, a concept that seemed impossible to him only months ago. He moved one hand down to her hip, feeling the skin and letting it go up his shirt she wore, traveling up her stomach. He felt her body writhe against his as he bit down on her neck gently just as he grazed a hand over her bra. Lucy had completely unbuttoned his shirt, and was whimpering as she tried to push it off his shoulders, the position they were in was making it hard. He smiled into her skin before letting her down only long enough for her to discard his shirt before he picked her back up to their previous position. He repositioned his hand on her flat stomach, feeling the smooth flesh and running it over the hourglass curve. Lucy let her hand roam down his chest, feeling his muscles. This was the only way she could touch him given the way he was keeping her suspended in the air, but just the feeling of her tiny hand stroking his skin made him quiver. He let his hand roam until it once again consumed her breast, perfectly fitting into his hand. Lucy, who had started placing kisses on the skin of his shoulder, let out a moan as he gave an experimental squeeze. This gave him courage, and he pushed his way under her bra so that there was nothing between his hand and the flesh of her breast. He smiled when he heard her murmur his name, responding with a haste kiss on the neck. He was painfully hard now, and knew they needed to stop. He reluctantly pulled his hand away, kissing Lucy's lips when she gave a moan of protest to silence her. He set her on her feet, pulling the shirt she wore down so that she was covered, and brushed the hair from her face. He chuckled at her pout, not able to resist kissing her lips quickly. Caspian saw that she was trying to look anywhere but down at his obvious arousal, he knew it made her nervous. Once she looked presentable enough, he bent down and picked up the shirt she had thrown to the ground, putting his arms through the sleeves. His hands shook as he tried to button it up, and he smiled when Lucy stepped forward taking it from him, buttoning him up. Just before she closed the final one, she moved closer to kiss the bare skin that sat just above his heart. After she finished, he moved to tuck the shirt in, but decided he should leave it hang down to cover up his arousal. Finally done, he looked up at Lucy, who was biting her bottom lip nervously. Her eyes shot up and met his before she smiled, making him reach out and pull her to his chest.
"Sorry," He said softly. He heard her laugh.
"You always stop," She joked, poking his stomach before resting her head comfortably on his chest.
"I know, and I really don't want to. It's just that going too far isn't really appropriate at your age without being married. Even though we are together, you still are but fifteen," He heard her murmur something in an annoyed tone, making him chuckle. Caspian could not wait to marry Lucy, even though he hadn't asked her yet, he planned on it eventually. He would never tell her, but he wanted her to have time to be certain that he was what she wanted. He could not imagine any fifteen year old girl being able to decide who she wanted to be with for the rest of her life over the course of a few weeks. He hoped, though, that he was what she wanted. Caspian lowered his head so that he could kiss the top of hers. She let out a huff, he knew she was annoyed with him, Lucy did not like being treated like a child. Admittingly, Lucy was more wise than any fully grown woman when she was only twelve. He sighed, knowing that he had to do something to get her smiling. He reached down, and before she could question him, he hooked an arm under her legs and swept her up into his arms. She let out a squeal of suprise, then went into a fit of giggles as he spun her around in circles, making them both dizzy.
"Caspian, stop!" She got out between laughs, holding her arms around his neck tightly. He had too, because he was getting unbearably dizzy. He stopped, letting her down and they both stumbled around for a moment, regaining their balance. Lucy smacked him playfully before reaching up and kissing his cheek.
"You're so immature," She said as she rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, but you love it," He retorted before reaching out and poking her side, making her jump. She smacked his arm lightly once more before wrapping her arms around his waist. They stood wrapped up in eachother for a few moments, Caspian occasionally kissing her hair or forhead, and rocking her back and forth. Eventually he heard her stifle a yawn.
"I should get you to bed," He stated, before taking her hand and leading her out the door. He held her to his side tightly as they walked down the hallway, nodding to several crew members as they passed. Lucy opened the door when they reached her cabin and turned to him with a smile.
"Goodnight, Caspian," She wrapped her arms around his neck lightly and kissed his lips. He gave her a squeeze before pulling away and kissing her head. "I love you," She told him. He smiled.
"I love you too, Lucy. Goodnight."

The next morning, the passengers that were getting off at the Lone Islands buzzed around excitedly waiting for their turn to ride the boats to shore. Lucy waited below deck until the last trip while Caspian, Drinian, and Rynelf went back and forth bringing people ashore. Caspian could not help but smile each time he dropped a group off, seeing them run around excitedly and the children jump up and down with cries of joy. After every rescue passenger was taken ashore, the three men went back to the ship, gathering Lucy and all coming back in one boat to see everyone off. As he rowed, Caspian observed Lucy wringing her hands in her lap and biting her lip, eyeing the island cautiously. He felt a wave of guilt. I shouldn't have made her come. Once they reached the land, Lucy stepped out of the boat and immediatly cringed into Caspian's side. He wrapped a protective arm around her as they walked behind the anxious crowd towards town where all of their families waited unexpecting of the suprise ahead of them. The couple smiled as Adam dashed forward towards his mother's outstretched arms. The woman cried, holding her child tightly, as his father stood by with a smile and his hand on his wive's back. Adam's sister stood close by, her arms crossed over her chest and looking around anxiously just as Lucy had. Caspian could see that she had bruises covering the part of her arms that he could see. He felt another pinge of guilt. He knew he should have been able to stop this from happening as king. The arm around Lucy tightened, seeing now how Lucy could have looked if he had not come for her in time. She leaned into him, taking one of his hands and giving it a squeeze. He looked down to see her giving him a knowing look.
"That isn't your fault. You had no idea this was going on. You did what you should have when you learned of it, your demolishing the slave trade stopped that from happening to hundreds of girls," He felt his heart lift as she stepped up and kissed his cheek sweetly.
"Queen Lucy! Queen Lucy!" Both looked up to see Adam waving his arms and gesturing for Lucy to come meet his mother. Lucy smiled before moving to walk forward. Caspian was reluctant to let her go, his arm not releasing his tight grip when she tried to pull away. She gave him a smile to indicate that she was alright, and he let her go. She walked forward, smiling when Adam rushed forward and took her hand, dragging her along with him for her to move faster.
"Momma, this is Queen Lucy. She took care of me when I was on the boat," Lucy smiled nervously before the mother pulled her into a hug. Caspian saw that the woman said something into Lucy's ear, and knew it was something along the lines of a "thank you." Lucy nodded, before pulling away and shaking the father's hand. She looked at the teenage girl, who still held her chest protectively. Lucy gave her a shaky smile before speaking gently with her. Caspian did not know what she said, but knew it must have been something comforting, for as soon as Lucy's mouth closed the girl rushed forward to give her a quick hug, pulling away before hugging herself again. Lucy gave the girl a smile before bending down in front of Adam to say goodbye. Caspian watched her push some hair from his face and kiss his cheek, smiling at the sight. Adam blushed deeply before jumping up to give the young Queen a hug. Lucy lifted him slightly off his feet, hugging him tightly before releasing him. She stood up, and with a last nod to Adam's family, she made her way back over to Caspian. He gave her a comforting hug, he knew she would miss the little boy. Lucy loved children, and he knew that she wanted a son or daughter of her own some day. After bidding the rest of the rescues goodbye, Drinian, Caspian, Rynelf, and Lucy walked back towards the boats, unable to help smiling as they were bombarded with cheers as they exited the little town. Once back on the boats, they could not contain there excitement for soon being in Cair Paravel, they would be there in about a day. Caspian noticed how hard the crew worked, rowing heavily and much quicker than they ever had before, eager to be with their wives.
That night, Caspian and Lucy had been sitting on the bed in Lucy's cabin, dressed for bed. Caspian held Lucy in his lap with her back to his chest, the fairytale book his professor gave to him in her lap as she read aloud. She started to ready a story about a little girl who found a magical world. The girl convinced her siblings to join her, and brought them with her to explore and meet a family of beavers. This was as far as Lucy got before she stopped, her mouth slightly agape. Caspian chuckled into her ear.
"Took you long enough to realize this was about you."
"How...?" Caspian put a hand on the page to hold it before turning to book to look at the author's name.
"This man lived back in the golden age, when you were eighteen. He probably fancied you," He opened the book once more to reveal the page they had been looking at. An illustration of a small girl holding the hand of a fawn sat in the middle of the page with words surrounding it.
"I never actually had time to read the book, but this was the story that my professor told me when I was learning about your family. I remember thinking you were so noble and wise, I wished that I could meet you. Luckily, I have," He placed a kiss on the side of her head.
"I just never realized anyone cared that much to..."
"Write a story about you? Lucy, you have to know how much the Narnians admire you. When they learn you have returned, they will be overjoyed. I cannot wait to arrive in Cair Paravel with Narnia's favorite Queen," He watched as a smile spread across her face. He laughed as she turned around to face him excitedly.
"Oh, I can't wait to see everyone Caspian!" She squealed before wrapping her arms around his neck. He sighed into her neck comfortably, brushing his lips over the skin.
"I love you," He whispered into her neck. He heard her sigh.
"I love you too," He smiled before pulling back to give her a gentle kiss. He let her turn around, continuing with the story, watching as she smiled the entire time she read.
