Chapter Four

Lips of an Angel

Months have passed, and Murtagh believed it was only nights ago that the first kiss was shared between him and Rain. It seemed like almost a dream come true, but it was more like an escape from hell for the both of them. It was coming close to the winter solstice, and the courtyards outside were covered in snow and the ponds frozen. Thorn didn't seem to mind it much; he honestly really didn't care about the weather, as long as he was out in open air. Murtagh and Thorn discussed matters with himself and Rain, and Thorn finally began to accept that Murtagh was in love, and couldn't do anything about it.

The night was growing late and the fire still crackled within the room. Rain had only come to visit him that morning to tend to his breakfast and laundry, but nothing more for the rest of the day, like it has been for a while. Galbatorix had grown much stricter and had given the slave women more chores, so Rain didn't have time to visit him on her own time when she could get away. It was too late at night for anything now.

Murtagh sighed as he sat on his soft bed, the fire casting a beautiful glow within the room, illuminating the handsome features on Murtagh's face. The light casted off of the shining red blade of Zar'roc as Murtagh held it gently in his hands. He ran two fingers down the length of the sword, his dark eyes scanning across the finely made inheritance he had stolen. He sighed with boredom and sheathed Zar'roc, placing the sword next to his bed for safe keeping before laying down on his back, his hands behind his head.

What should I do now, Thorn? Things will only get worse from here on out...you know that as much as I do. Murtagh said to Thorn in somewhat of a calm, yet worried voice. Thorn didn't reply for a moment before he said, You must be careful what path you take, young master. Galbatorix always has his evil eye cast upon you. You must be aware of what you do and what decisions you make. Don't make one that will mean your decapitation. Murtagh closed his eyes, and remembered the soft, warm lips he felt when he kissed Rain that beautiful night underneath the moon, listening to the sounds that the insects and the animals were making around them; just nature itself.

His heart skipped a beat when he heard the door open with a slight creak. His eyes snapped open and he sat up swiftly, his eyes slightly widened and muscles tensed. He relaxed when he only saw it was Rain, looking saddened. Murtagh's expression softened and he placed his feet back on the ground and walked over to her as she shut the door behind her. He grasped her shoulders gently.

"What's wrong? Why are you out so late?" Murtagh asked her with sincerity in his voice.

Rain looked up at him, her eyes shining in the firelight.

"I was lonely. I needed to see you," she said, taking his gloved hands in her own.

Murtagh sighed slightly and clutched her hands tighter. He looked down at them and then back up at Rain's beautiful face, hardly maimed by the tortures life has given her. He let his hands drift from her grasp and he removed his gloves, and dropped them on the floor. Rain stood as still as a statue and just looked at Murtagh in the eyes as his bare hands raised up toward her face. His fingertips caressed her smooth skin of her temples and across her cheeks. He cupped her face in his hands and leaned in, kissing her with all the passion in the world. Both of their eyes shut and they let their sense of touch and hearing take over them.

Murtagh pressed Rain gently against the wall and reached behind her, latching the door so nobody would be allowed to enter at this moment. Rain reached her delicate hands up to his hair and brushed her hand through his brown locks while relishing in the kiss she was given. They broke off for air and they looked at each other deeply in the eyes once more.

"I love you," Rain whispered those sweet words into his ear, their faces mere inches apart, her hand resting on the back of his neck. Murtagh smiled handsomely and stroked her hair twice before halting to say, "And I do as well. All too much to even believe."

"Will you stay with me?"

"For as long as life will allow."

"No matter the consequences?"

"Aye. Even if the eternity ahead of us is full of them, I'll still be here for you."

"Then let's start eternity this moment," Rain cooed in his ear as she leaned her head forward, closing her eyes and kissing behind his ear. Murtagh shivered as a reaction. The back of his mind told him not to do it because of Galbatorix's orders, but he bluntly ignored them. He looked at her as she came to stand in front of him again. He gently scooped her up in his arms and walked her over to his bed. He gently sat her down and crawled beside her.

(Warning: This is the sexual scene, so I advise you to skip over it if you are not comfortable with scenes such as these.)

Her hair fanned out across the pillow, her green eyes glowing like a forest undergoing a wildfire. Murtagh let a small smile creep upon his face. He bent down and placing his lips upon her collarbone, kissing the soft skin delicately, working his way up her neck. Rain's breathing increased and she gave out a sigh. She felt Murtagh's fingers work their way up to her shoulders, grasping her dress straps. Murtagh pulled them down, exposing more skin on her upper body, but didn't remove the garment all of the way. Rain twitched a little under his touch, so Murtagh stopped for a moment.

"Am I making you uncomfortable?" he asked her as he looked up at her beautiful face.

Rain shook her head and replied, "No, I'm...just not used to being touched like this. But please, keep going."

Murtagh nodded his head and pulled her dress down a little more, showing off her breasts a little. Murtagh swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat and lowered his head down upon her left breast and suckled on her nipple a little. Rain shivered and gasped in pleasure. Murtagh circled his tongue around it and massaged her other breast with his other hand.

"Oh dear..." Rain gasped out, grasping her lover's head in her hands, twisting his hair in her fingers as he sent pleasurable chills coursing through her body.

Murtagh switched his ministrations to the other breast, doing that for another minute or two before letting up. Rain's chest heaved up and down and looked down at Murtagh who reached up to brush back his hair a little before going back up to Rain's face and kissing her deeply. Rain moaned into his kiss as she felt his hands pull her dress down more to her hips and finally slipping it off, leaving her in her undergarments. Rain didn't think it was fair that she was almost naked for him, so she grasped Murtagh's tunic and began to unbutton it. Murtagh hastily helped her with it, propping himself on one hand and working at his tunic with the other. He finally managed to slip out of it and toss it to the floor along with Rain's dress. Rain trailed her fingertips along his well toned chest muscles and Murtagh grazed her hair with his hands.

"You don't have to do this, Rain. You have a choice with me," Murtagh whispered in her ear.

Rain shook her head and said, "I agreed to it already. Please, let's keep going. Don't keep me waiting."

Murtagh smiled at her bravery and began kissing from her lips, down her throat, to her collarbone and all of the way down. He kissed between the valley between her breasts and made his way to her stomach. He kissed the spot underneath her navel, sending rapid chills going through the young woman's body. He finally got to her woman area, and finally grasped her underwear in his fingers, sliding them down her legs to her ankles. Rain kicked them off quickly. Murtagh grew more aroused by the sight of Rain's lower region. Murtagh's breath came in quick breaths and he lowered his face and licked at it to test her. Rain gasped, grasping the sheets underneath her in her hands.

"Oh Murtagh..." she gasped out.

Murtagh slid back up to meet her face and looked into her eyes. He looked down and worked at his pants and finally slipped them off, throwing them on the floor along with their other garments that they were previously wearing. Rain felt both of their bodies grow hotter as their bare skin touched. Murtagh kissed her lips, nibbling on her lower lip as he gently inserted a finger within her wet folds and going at a steady pace. Rain moaned loudly, grasping the sides of his face and pressing his lips against hers harder. Their tongues battled for dominance as the moment became much hotter. After a minute of fingering, Murtagh pulled his finger out of her and placed his hand on the side of her face.

"Are you ready for this?" Murtagh asked her.

Rain took his hands in her own and held them for a brief moment before nodding her head. She opened her legs up to him, allowing him to gain entrance. Murtagh slightly smiled and then kissed her before grasping her thighs, holding them open wide. Rain tensed, waiting for the feeling. She felt the head of his genitals position itself against her, and finally slid inside of her slightly. He went slow, causing Rain to moan and squished her eyes closed since she's never had this happen to her before. Soon, Murtagh came across her virginity barrier and released the kiss for a moment.

"It'll be okay," he crooned softly to her as he pressed forward and a slight pop was heard and blood seeped from her. Rain gasped a little and twitched a little but soon settled down into pleasure.

Murtagh checked on her one last time, "Are you okay? Do you want me to stop?"

"No, please, keep going."

Murtagh smiled, knowing by the tone of her voice that she was desperate. He finally slid himself all of the way inside of her, and as soon as he did and realized that she was comfortable enough, he pulled halfway out of her then plunged himself back into her again. Rain gasped in pleasure, grasping his back and digging her nails into him. Murtagh repeated his strokes gently at first and gradually gained speed. Rain could feel Murtagh's body heat rising and sweat rolling down his body, and his breaths came quicker; Rain was the same way. Soon, Rain got used to it and began to buck her hips to meet Murtagh's plunges. For the two of them, hours seemed to pass but Rain was nearing the edge of her climax, and so was Murtagh. Murtagh dug his face into Rain's neck while still pumping in and out of her. He gave out straining whimpers as he kept going. Rain wrapped her arms around him, gasping out her breaths.

"Murtagh, I'm about to..." Rain said, until her voice was cut off by her breath.

"I-I know...ah..." Murtagh wheezed out, kissing her neck.

"Come with me," Rain told him, and felt him nod.

Almost at the same time, Rain let out a loud moan as well as Murtagh as they both came. Rain could feel himself release inside of her. After a brief moment, Murtagh collapsed on top of Rain, panting in time with her. The blankets were already pulled over them, and their sweat caused it to dampen. Rain put her arms around his back and rubbed it. She then reached up and stroked his hair as he laid there, trying to regain himself.

"Thank you, Murtagh," she said in his ear.

(Note: This is the end of the sex scene.)

Murtagh and Rain spent a little while resting in their naked embrace until they finally got up and got dressed. Before Rain left, Murtagh grasped her wrist and pulled her into another kiss. He looked into her eyes and smiled.

"You're welcome." he told her.

Rain smiled back at him and stroked the side of his hair.

"I love you," she told him.

"And I you."

"Goodnight, my love." Rain said before she opened the door and finally left back to the servant's quarters.

Murtagh sighed with happiness and made his way back to his bed which he laid back down and as soon as his head hit the bed, he fell to sleep after the tiring events that happened not even moments ago. As he slept, he could feel the lips of an angel still on his own.
