A/N: Be warned. This chapter has sexual content in it.
A few days had passed since the Princess of Arkham and the Queen of Starling were spotted wedding dress shopping. Since Felicity had had that talk with her mother and the power shut off. Since Slade had come back into Felicity's life.
The Princess had tried her best not to think about it and focus on her task at hand. In the days that followed, Felicity and Oliver had been seen out and about at various gatherings and social events, always linked arm in arm, talking and smiling at each other; looking every bit a happy couple.
Reporters were going crazy with the photos, asking questions about the wedding and even started making stuff up if the royal couple refused to talk to them.
The wedding was still being planned as usual. Moira and Felicity were nearly as inseperable as Oliver and Felicity, they were always talking about the wedding: the food, the music, the people attending, where the reception would be held, the flowers and other such happy thing.
With the wedding taking over all the newspapers and all the news channels, it was mid-afternoon when Felicity finally sat down and could actually talk to her mother.
"Mother? Are you there?" Felicity said into her computer screen when she finally was able to take off her shoes and sighed happily "what's been happening back home?" she asked expectantly hoping that all the charities were going well and her mother was still going to the galas
"You mean you haven't heard?" The Queen gave her daughter a sad and questioning look
"Heard what?" Felicity now grew worried, how could she have been having a good time in Starling when her people could have been going through the worst times of their lives?!
"Recently, Arkham has been having blackouts. We've had no power or hot water in the last couple of nights!" Donna explained quickly as she watched Felicity get up and grab her laptop and began looking up Arkhams power supply and usage history.
"Why am I only hearing of this now when my people have been going without power for the last couple of nights?!" Felicity all but yelled at her mother
"Darling, I tried to get a hold of you but the only free time I have had was at night and the weird thing about these blackouts is that they only seem to happen at night"
"Well, no matter what happens from now on, no matter what I'm doing or how busy you are, if something goes wrong I want to know about it alright?" Felicity said firmly but still kindly as she smiled at her mother "I miss you so much" she touched the screen and noticed that it was beginning to go fuzzy "Mother?" Felicity began typing on the keys trying to strengthen the signal whilst calling for her mother
"Hello Princess" the screen was now black but Felicity felt her insides run cold when she heard that rough smooth voice through her speakers. Slade appeared then on her screen after he had cut the connection to her mother
"Slade! What do you want?!" Felicity sounded braver than she felt, she knew her face had lost its color and her hands were shaking now, she hid them on her knees and glared at Slade "what have you done!" she asked in a very unprincess-like manner
"The people of Arkham will not freeze or starve, Princess, you don't need to worry" Slade drawled "however, winter is just around the corner and no heating at night would be very inconvenient"
"Turn the power back on NOW!" Felicity commanded "why are you doing this?!" she begged and tried to hide the sob that was trying to break free from her throat "you were my friend! My mother's friend!"
"Simple. The kingdom of Arkham adores its Princess, I have plans and I can't achieve them without you by my side" Slade licked his lips "you marry me, and we rebuild Arkham together as it should be and expand its wealth to the whole world" he said seductively
"Never. I'm going to marry Prince Oliver and we will join together to actually make our kingdoms a paradise for our people!" Felicity had no idea where this passion was coming from but the thought of Oliver gave her something, a spark inside her to carry on "I will expose you for what you are and when I am Queen I will have the power to get rid of you!"
Slade now looked dangerously at her, his calm seductive voice was gone and replace by anger "Do that and your mother dies!" he roared "and the King and Queen of Starling and your darling Prince Oliver! They'll all die because you couldn't simply take a ring and sign a bit of paper!" Slade growled through the screen "do you really want the blood of your loved ones on your hands?"
No, she didn't. How could this happen? Slade had been her most trusted advisor, her friend but now he almost destroyed her kingdom and was threatening the lives of everyone she held dear unless she married him and they did everything his way. Felicity needed The Arrow's help right now and discreetly reached for the phone he gave her and held it tight in her hands "Leave my people alone Slade!"
"Marry me and no harm will come to them" Slade offered lightly with a cruel smile
"Never" Felicity's voice was barely above a whisper, she was shaking with fear now
"I'll give you a few more days to think it over" Slade nodded to her "until we meet again, my Princess" Slade blew her a kiss and signed off.
The screen went black again and then back to her original desktop background, Felicity could only sit there as panic set in, her breaths began to quicken and her chest felt tight. Her fingers brought the phone to life and she searched through the contacts, The Arrow being the only one, and quickly pressed it to call him. The Arrow would help her.
"Felicity?"
The Princess spun around at the mention of her name and had come face to face with Oliver. She quickly hung up the phone and went to him, the tears finally falling "Oliver! There has been blackout all over Arkham and I didn't know about it"
"What? Blackout? How?" Oliver asked and stepped forward but didn't hug her in case she pulled away
"I…" Felicity didn't want Oliver to get involved in this Slade business, she wanted to keep him safe so she wiped her eyes and said that she didn't know how her kingdom was without power at night but they would need it once winter came around. Oliver could see how upset she was and now through caution to the wind and wrapped his arms around her and promised that he would help her in any way he could.
"We're to be married, right?" he asked
Felicity only nodded her head against his shoulder as she held him
"So, what's mine is yours now" he pulled away just enough so she would look up into his smiling face "Arkham is without power? I'll talk to the people running our power here and set it up so my kingdom shares it's power with yours"
Felicity felt happy tears in her eyes again and held Oliver tighter and thank him softly over and over again "You'll make a great Queen one day, Felicity" Oliver whispered into her hair, kissed it and closed his eyes, enjoying the feel of her.
A whole rally of reporters and bystanders stood near the platform that had been set up for the occasion, The Prince and Princess stood together while King Robert talked of what was happening in Arkham and their power supply dwindling and he looked to his son proudly and let him continue with his own little speech.
Oliver let go of Felicity's hand and approached the crowd "Hello and thank you all for coming…" he began to speak of what was happening in Arkham and how much it saddened him and how close his heart was to Arkham now that he had Felicity in his life "…the kingdom of Arkham, I now consider my second home, a home where my beautiful fiancé grew up and loves with all her heart. It's people come first to her and their wellbeing is number one before her own. It is now the same for me. I will strive to be a better person with her by my side and I know that this is only the beginning…I will share my kingdoms power with Arkham for as long as they need it. What's mine is yours Arkham"
A switch inside Starlings power plant was turned on and people applauded as half of Starlings power was now being transferred to Arkham as they clapped. Oliver went back to Felicity and she hugged him quickly before Oliver leaned down and gave her a small kiss on the cheek, she hoped the cameras wouldn't pick up her blushing cheeks too much. Felicity smiled up at her fiancé and felt something inside her swirling around, something inside her snapped and her smile grew bigger and prouder than before. Oliver would do anything for her and she would do anything for him. Today was the start of Felicity actually falling in love with Oliver.
"I wanted to say thank you again for today, Oliver" the happy couple had retreated back to the palace after answering many questions the press had for them and also talking to the King and Queen and how proud they were of the two of them. Now they stood outside her room
"Felicity" Oliver couldn't keep the smile off of his face or his hand from being entwined with hers "that's the seventh time you have thank me in the space of half an hour" he laughed lightly
"I'm sorry, I don't think I'll ever stop thanking you for this" Felicity smiled back even though her cheeks were hurting from the effort "you're so different from when we first met" they both started to think back to that night in Arkham…Oliver and Felicity first meeting and then her finding him with Isabel
"I'm not that person anymore" Oliver promised her "I've changed, and it's all because of you" he traced her jawline with his thumb lightly and watched as her eyes sparkled again as she looked at him "you make me a better person and you'll make a great Queen one day"
Felicity felt tingles warmly working their way up her spine and butterflies swarmed in her stomach as she tried to use her voice which was barely audible right now "only if you'll be my King" a small gasp escaped her mouth as Oliver quickly captured her lips with his own in their first kiss.
Oliver ran his fingers from her jawline to behind her ear and tangled them in her hair, Oliver felt her respond with wrapping her own arms around him and running her fingers through his hair. Oliver pressed her softly against the door and let his free hand wonder down her body to her waist and clutched it when the kiss changed gradually into something more.
Neither of them were sure who changed the kiss but with no sign of stopping they melted into each other, Felicity held him tighter and gently moved her hips against him and was rewarded with a passionate groan from Oliver. Reluctantly needing air Felicity pulled her head to the side and gasped for air, Oliver took his chance and cut off her gasp when his lips met her neck and kissed it up and down. Felicity's eyes rolled back in her head as Oliver deliciously kissed, licked and bit at her pulse point a strangled moan and plea of his name as his hand on her waist hungrily travelled over her body trying to find any available skin.
"Save something for the wedding night"
Felicity's eyes snapped open as she saw the King standing a little way down the hall and grinning lightly, Oliver let go of Felicity and faced his father not knowing what to say and ignoring his body's plea to shout at him to leave and then go back to devouring his fiancé.
With a silent word to his father, Oliver bid Felicity goodbye and followed his father down the hall.
Felicity opened her door and went inside, trying to get a hold of herself. That kiss was something else, it made her hungry for more and it pained her that she wouldn't get another tonight probably not until her wedding night! That thought made her moan sadly.
Four hours later, Felicity lay in her bed after talking to her mother using Arkham new power supply. All she could think about now was the kiss with Oliver, it still plagued her mind and set her body on fire and wouldn't let her get any sleep.
The Princess lay down on her bed and tried to sleep, but her hands had other ideas. With a mind of their own they lightly touched the space on her upper neck behind her ear, Felicity moaned softly as they tickled her. The Princess couldn't take it anymore and let her hands touch and travel over her body imagining Oliver in their place, tickling her, kissing her lips and she jumped when she felt her finger tips lightly trace the line of her underwear.
The Princess threw her head back into the pillows as one fingers went under the waistband but didn't find the delicious nub that yearned for her touch just yet; she dragged out the teasing a little longer until she couldn't take it anymore and moaned in frustration.
A soft ringing sound broke her out of her fantasy, Felicity took a few deep breaths to try and calm herself before she reached for it "Y-Yes?" she said shakily into the phone
"I'll be there in a few minutes, we need to talk" The Arrow's voice hit her like a freight train
Felicity heard him hang up the phone and frantically sat up in bed, The Arrow was coming to see her, in her room where she had just been pleasuring herself. The Princess suddenly felt embarrassed yet more aroused when she heard her window click, watched it open and saw The Arrow come through it. Felicity was still trying to come down from her arousal when The Arrow asked about what happened today at the power plant.
"Are you alright, Princess?" he asked looking at her face and eyes
"Yeah…just umm…just a nightmare" Felicity pulled back the covers and got out of bed thankful that she was wearing a large night shirt "you wanted to talk?"
"About today, the power plant and sharing power with your kingdom?" The Arrow asked
Felicity launched into an explanation of how Slade and contacted her, tried to make a deal with her where she marries him or everyone she loves dies "I told Oliver, not about the Slade part, but about the power and blackouts and he lent my kingdom some of Starlings power"
"That is good but it won't last long, eventually the power will run out and both of your kingdoms will be without power" The Arrow thought for a second "I'll travel to Arkham and see what I can find, I'll be in contact"
The Arrow looked at the Princess up and down discreetly admiring her long legs and wondered how it would feel to have the wrapped around his waist. Felicity came forward and before he could protest, The Princess was pulling him in for a hug.
Felicity thanked him softly and smiled into his covered ear, The Arrow held her with his one free hand while the other held his bow, he fought the urge to let his hand pull up the shirt and press his body to hers.
All too quickly she pulled away and said goodbye, a thankful smile on her lips. The Arrow nodded and left. He tried to not hear the small moan that travelled out of the open window and hit his ears softly and tried to focus on not crashing his bike into a tree as he left the palace.
A/N: The Arrow is going to Arkham? What excuse is Oliver going to give Felicity? Will she travel with The Arrow or Oliver to her home? Slade and Felicity scene in the next chapter or two. Be warned it could get hot and heavy…but for Felicity and who?
