I can't believe it has taken me so long to update! I am SO sorry! But I have been super busy with school, I am taking more credits this quarter than I have been this year, and I have been working more too, so bare with me. Please. And as always, please REVIEW!!
Adalina lied between Susan and Caspian as usual. She was wide awake however, hoping that soon the Pevensie's would be fully asleep. It felt like just days ago, when she and Caspian used to sneak around the castle. She had loved the thrill of it, it was fun and exciting and right now it was making her extremely anxious.
She could feel Caspian's hand running up and down her back, letting her know that he was still awake as well. Adalina couldn't wait much longer. She brought her hand up to her mouth and coughed into, not too loudly. The four Pevensies were silent, Lucy shifted slightly, but it was clear they were out. Excitedly, Adalina turned over, facing Caspian with a big smile on her face. She took his hand in hers and pulled them up from the soft floor quietly.
"Come on." She whispered leaving the dark room. Caspian didn't delay; he following after her promptly, practically running to catch up with her.
After a few twists and turns Adalina stopped in the doorway of a large room. The light from the flames burning atop the hot oil gave her sultry eyes a devastatingly seductive glow as she turned her head slightly to send Caspian a mischievous smile.
"Here?" Caspian inquired cautiously, peaking into the room she had stopped at. "It's so, open"
"Don't worry; nobody is going to be wondering in here at this time of night. They are all getting their well deserved rest before tomorrow." Adalina reassured him, taking his hand in hers and pulling him farther into the room. After a few feet she let her fingers slip away from his. She strutted in front of him, swaying her hips from side to side slowly. As she approached the table in the center of the room, delicately laying the tips of her fingers on it, she shot a glance over her back, her smoldering eyes burning Caspian's skin instantly. Caspian slowly stepped toward her, his heart rate doubled with each step forward. When he finally reached her he softly laid his palms over her round hips, his lips breathed in her ear. "Are you sure you want to do it here, there are plenty more secluded places." He whispered.
Adalina could tell he was unsure about being in there. And she understood why, but that was exactly why it was so thrilling to Adalina. She wanted to feel like she did when they started this whole mess back at the castle, she wanted to feel the way she felt then; so care free and blissfully happy, naïve to the dangers outside of the castle and the dangers in her own heart. It was all simpler then and she wished it could be now: with Caspian, with her loyalties, with her emotions, with her life.
"I am sure Caspian." She placed her palms over his, pushing them tighter against her, raking them over her pelvis, and down to the tops of her thighs. Releasing him she turned around in his arms, cradling his jaw in her left hand gently. "Do you remember when we first started being intimate? How we used to sneak around the castle, finding secluded areas or dark corners and closets to mess around in? It was like playing a game of hide and go seek. And the most exciting part about it was knowing that someone could happen upon us at any moment." Her voice was soft and reassuring.
Suddenly Caspian understood why she chose the Stone Table room, if anyone were to be up at this hour they would surely be going there, seeking reassurance from Aslan, and it gave her the same feeling it did when they were living in the castle. She didn't want to be interrupted by someone; she just wanted to feel the way she felt before she had so much fear and responsibility. And Caspian wanted nothing more than to comfort her, so he wrapped his strong arms around her shoulders, pulling her as close to him as possible. Adalina allowed him to just hold her for a minute, letting him move at his own pace, she didn't want him to pull away from her; she couldn't handle losing him again.
Slowly and cautiously, Caspian lowered his lips to hers. As his lips brushed over hers Adalina closed her eyes in response, Caspian moved slowly and Adalina could feel every subtle contrast between his touch and hers. Caspian finally pushed her lips open with his, slipping his tongue into her mouth, only briefly at first, then again, exploring every inch of her. Gradually their movements quickened, becoming more natural and Adalina's senses began to be bombarded with stimulation, and everything from her fingertips to her pinky toe was tingling.
Quickly Caspian began tugging on Adalina's night dress, his hands slipped underneath the collar and he began to massage the top of her back and shoulders, slowly inching the material down farther as he did so. In turn, Adalina began to draw his tunic up his chest, revealing the tight muscles that lay underneath the worn material. Adalina's mouth descended upon the smooth skin there, pressing short gentle kisses over his chest, hands running up and down his firm arms. Her kisses went lower and lower and as she reached his belly button she slipped her hands down to loosen the strings on his trousers. Suddenly, a hand came down and covered hers, ceasing her actions. Adalina raised her head, looking into his eyes with curiosity. Without a word, Caspian removed her hands completely and pulled her to her feet. And with a soft kiss to the lips he swept her up in his arms. Adalina couldn't break her gaze; her eyes were fixed on Caspian's. Caspian carried her to the other side of the stone table, as to give them a fair amount of cover.
Caspian gently laid her down on the cold ground before slipping away from her body. Standing over her, shadow darkening the glow of the burning oil, Caspian pulled down his trousers, leaving them in a pool on the dusty floor, before he climbed over Adalina. His strong hands ran down her sides, pulling Adalina closer to him. His calloused fingers stroked her silk-like skin as Caspian lifted the hem of her gown up her thighs slowly, and Adalina moaned at the sensation. Caspian's lips pressed to her neck, his hot breath warming the sensitive skin there, and Adalina wove her fingers through his hair clutching to it, as Caspian drug her nightgown farther up her body. Having to let go of his hair, Adalina lifted her hands over her head and half leaned up so Caspian could pull the material over her head. As she lay back down, she could feel his naked body against hers. Wordless, Caspian's mouth traveled down her neck to her shoulder, then down her chest, and Adalina let out a deep sigh in anticipation.
His palm brushed over her backside, his hands gripping it firmly as he reclaimed her mouth. Adalina's heart-rate had sped up the moment he'd climbed over her, his touches felt so good. What was it about him, and what was it about her that gave her body such a reaction to his?
In one swift motion Caspian thrust into her warm, wet center. Caspian didn't let up his hand's exploration of her body and his lips only traveled down to her neck to have them find their way back to her mouth again. His pace was relentless and Adalina enjoyed it, meeting each of his thrusts with her own as she bucked her hips in rhythm with his. Adalina's skin began to moisten with sweat and her breathes were deep, panting breathes as she felt the familiar building in her sex. Her eyes squeezed shut as the ecstasy became too much and she could hear - what sounded like an echo in her ears - her scream out his name. As Caspian's full weight descended upon her, she felt as light as a feather, a state of euphoria blanketing her. She felt Caspian's muscular arms embrace her and she just lay there, soaking in the moment, not wanting to be separated from his embrace ever again.
When both of their heart rates returned to normal and their sweat covered bodies cooled, they got up from their blissful embrace and redressed. Caspian pulled Adalina to his side, arm curling around her waist, as they leisurely made their way back to the room they shared with the Pevensies.
They lied close to one another, Caspian's hand stroking Adalina's arm and shoulder and up and down her spine, until sleep over took them both.
The morning sun rose over the lush green field, blindingly bright, serving as a wakeup call for the Narnians. By dawn the entire How was bustling with commotion. Satyrs and centaurs and dwarfs and animals of all types hurried through tunnels cradling large bundles of armor and weapons. The Pevensies awakened from their slumber as they sensed the day approaching. Peter, the first to rise, followed by his siblings. They dressed swiftly, knowing that there was much to be done before the impending battle. But as they went to leave, they noticed that two members of their usual party were missing. Looking back, their eyes met the lump on the floor; the two figures huddled tightly together, soundly sleeping. Caspian's arm was draped over Adalina's abdomen protectively, Adalina's hand clasping his, his face rested in the space between her shoulder and her jaw, both of their expressions completely at peace.
The four siblings stood in silence, watching them, a little taken aback. Susan let a smile creep onto her face, glad to see her friends finally able to share a moment of happiness. Peter noticed Susan's smile and shot her a confused look, then looking back at the two sleeping figures he realized what was going on. It was Caspian that Adalina was in love with, that is what Susan tried to warn him about. He looked to Susan once more for confirmation of his revelation. She lifted her shoulder in reply, saying a silent sorry, knowing what he had just realized by the look he gave her.
Finally breaking the silence Edmund interrupted, "shouldn't we wake them up?"
With a deep sigh, Peter answered, "No, let them sleep." Then he started for the door, his siblings following suit.
As Adalina roused, becoming aware of her surroundings, a smile crept on to her face. She could feel Caspian's strong arm around her waist, and his face nuzzled into her neck, his warm breath sweeping across her shoulder. She didn't want to get up; she just wanted to stay like that forever. So she closed her eyes and just let the feeling sink in. She stayed like that for a minute before she felt the hand on her stomach begin to rub at the spot it laid over. Opening her eyes once more she took his hand in hers and linked their fingers together, pulling their entwined hands up to her mouth, planting a small kiss on the back of Caspian's hand. Caspian's only response was to pull her closer, lifting up his head to lay a chaste kiss on her cheek. Adalina let out a deep sigh, looking around the room for the first time. Seeing that they were alone, she moved Caspian's hand to her breast, encouraging him to massage the area. Caspian did as she asked, his hand grasping the tender area, kneading it slowly while his lips kissed at the sensitive skin covering her neck. Moaning softly, Adalina twisted in his arms so she could face him. As her lips came in contact with his, she pushed him onto his back, rolling them so that she was on top of him, her knees on either side of his thighs. Deepening the kiss, she slid her tongue into his mouth, instantly meeting his, a battle for control ensuing. Caspian's hands came up to caress the body hovering over him, one palm resting on the small of her back, inching closer to her ass, the other gripping the back of her head, fingers tangling in her long soft tresses.
Suddenly Adalina's head snapped up, eyes widening, hands pressing into Caspian's chest. Caspian saw the look of worry in her eyes, concerned he asked her what was wrong. Rolling off of him, racing to her feet, she immediately began gathering up her clothes.
"Caspian, we have to go! There is so much to do! I can't believe I didn't remember! Why didn't the Pevensies wake us up?" she struggled to put on her shoe, finally stomping her foot into the leather. Seeing Caspian still sitting in the makeshift bed, she threw him his boots and jerkin. "Don't just sit there, get moving!"
"Adalina, don't worry, the Narnians are ready. They know what to do, I am sure everything is going smoothly so far." He tried to reassure her as he pulled on his boots.
"I know they're ready and I have all the confidence in the world in them, I just want to be there for them, to support them through it all."
Caspian got up and put his hands around her waist, hugging her gently. "They know how much you care about them and you have been helping them immensely these past few weeks. It won't hurt to sit out for a few minutes this morning."
Sighing deeply, Adalina let out a breath and relaxed. "I know, and your right, I am sure the Narnians can handle me sleeping in for a few extra minutes this morning." She hugged him back for a few moments before pulling back. "but, now that we have slept in, I think we should get going, there is a lot that still needs to be done and midday will be here before we know it." Grabbing Caspian's hand she pulled him out of the room and into the tunnels to find were help was needed.
Adalina was right; midday arrived far sooner than Caspian would have liked it to. Caspian had just finished preparing Susan and Lucy for their search. As he adjusted the buckle on the saddle to ensure that it was on tight enough, he saw a figure appear in the doorway.
He lifted his gaze and saw Adalina in full armor, the Narnians had made her a dress of chain mail to be worn beneath her breast plate, the steal covering her chest fit all of her curves and she had a short sword and two daggers fitted into place at her hips. Caspian thought he had never seen her look so strong.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her voice.
"You look ready."
"Uh…" Caspian stuttered, not really sure how to respond until he saw were Adalina was looking.
"As ready as we are going to be." Susan responded, gripping the reins in her hands.
"Well, keep an eye out. If I know Miraz he will have soldiers scouting the forest to make sure no one gets the chance to run away."
"Thanks for the heads up. I will watch out." With that they gave each other a nod and Adalina slapped the back of Destrier making him rear back, Susan pulled the reins and the sisters raced down the long tunnel.
Adalina and Caspian stood silent for a moment, eyes still stuck on the clouds of dust Destrier's hooves had stirred. Suddenly, Caspian grabbed Adalina's hand and pulled her forward.
"Come on. We should go make sure they are not followed."
Caspian lead Adalina up to the ledge of the How. There was a clear view of the forest from up there. It only took Adalina a second to find the dark figure running through the trees. It looked as though they had made it into the woods without being spotted so far. Just as Adalina was about to leave, she noticed a group of soldiers enter take off from the Telmarine camp, headed away from the How, in Susan and Lucy's direction.
Her heart jumped and Adalina turned to leave, intending to follow the group and help Susan and Lucy reach Aslan. But Caspian grabbed her hand stopping her.
"Stay here. Peter will need your support out there. I will go."
Remember to tell me what you think (review)!
I have a lot of plans for this story, so keep reading and hopefully I can find the time to keep writing. It is proving to be a little more difficult to find the inspiration to write some of the in between parts that have to be written before I can start on where I am really trying to get to.
