Chapter 5 – Shy Kisses

R.P.O.V

I blinked, not sure what had just happened. He kissed me, and then slapped me, and finally he ran. I looked at the ceiling, wishing I knew where he was, and that I could go to him. I wanted to explain everything, but I knew it would take a while for Moses to calm down and for my body to stop hating me.

I groaned as the light again hit my eyes, and my head started to pound. I closed my eyes, and images of Moses flooded my head. I wanted to kiss his soft lips again. I sighed as I turned my body so that the light hit my back. I felt cold, and I knew that I needed Moses to be mine, and to be here for me ever to be warm again.

M.P.O.V

I don't know how long I sat in the garden, in the same place, not moving, staring at the sunflowers that were reaching to the sky, thinking about the new Pharaoh. So much had happened in such a short time, and I tried to wrap my head around it all. What was I going to do now that Ramses knew how I felt?
Soon, the sun changed to the moon, and hot changed to cold, but I failed to notice. I sat, and I watched the sunflowers before finally, I started to feel the cold seep into my body.

I stood up and quickly walked into the hallway, the torches on the walls guiding my way to my chambers. All I wanted to do was climb between the sheets and stay there, sleeping until everyone forgot his name, and forget who he was to the Pharaoh.

But it was impossible to do that. He would have to get up in the morning, and pretend that everything was fine. I sighed as I walked up the winding stairs that led to my room, thinking about Ramses again. I wanted to hold him, and kiss him. I shook my head dispelling the thought.

Soon, I was at my room, and I walked into it before I slammed the door, not caring if I woke others. They didn't understand what I was going through, what I felt like. They weren't in my head and couldn't understand the thoughts and the chaos that was my mind.

I threw my clothes off before walking to the bed, and slipping in between the silk sheets, and falling asleep.

The Next Day

I woke when the first rays of sunlight hit my face, knowing that I had a lot to do. The first would be to get breakfast, and apologise to the Pharaoh, and then I would start my new job as his right hand. I wondered what the would involve, and I was eager to begin something new. And this would give me a chance to get closer to my love.

I closed my eyes, as I walked down the stairs, trying to work out what mood Ramses would be in. When I couldn't work it out, I sighed and opened my eyes, just in time to avoid the said person.

But it was too late to move away from him – he had grabbed my arm, and was pulling me along with him, and I was helpless to resist the emotions that were flooding through me – lust, love, want, need, anger, and confusion.

I didn't know where we were going, but I just wanted this to be over a much as I wanted to spend time with him.

Suddenly we stopped, and suddenly there were a pair of warm, soft lips over mine, giving me a shy kiss. I blinked before I pushed Ramses away, and wiping my hand over my mouth.

"What was that? Why did you do it?"
Ramses just looked at me like I should know the answers to that. But before I could move, and before he answered me, he pressed his lips against mine again. And when I gasped, he took the opportunity to slide his tongue into my mouth, and for a while, our tongue's licked and played with ever other before he withdrew, leaving me panting and wanting more.

But before I could say anything, he turned his back, and walked away, leaving me staring after him.
