"Wild seabirds
and fishermen pushing out to sea
the sun surfacing defiantly
from the east
of his small emerald island
he always comes back, groggily groggily."
Island man - Grace Nichols
Even from outside the royal bed chamber, Reaver could hear the rain beating down hard.
His face was solemn as he pushed the grand doors open, having searched for King Logan in two different places. He took a pace forward into the room, to see if King Logan was there. Reaver's eyes didn't find him, but instead fell to a lump that lay at the balcony doors. A royal blue lump lay against the crystal white rug, very contrasting and eye-catching, some thing which Reaver likes. Reaver's eyes finally widened realising that this curvaceous lump was indeed the rebel princess.
"My, my, how the tables have turned. She does have her mothers spirit and hero power after all." He had whispered to himself momentarily, eyeing the attractive lump on the floor. She stirred, and Reaver found himself sinking gracefully into a plump armchair; watching her majesty.
Only when he had sunk in the chair, did Robyn begin to wake, rising up off the floor oblivious to who was in the royal bed chamber with her.
Golden waves cascaded down her back, complimenting her blue dress well. It wasn't really a dress, more of an opaque negligé, but it clung to the right places; outlined her pert bum, and showed off her breasts which were perky. She was half a head taller than most women, having envious long legs which were well toned from all the sword play she did.
She turned around and Reaver immediately looked at her face, very aristocratic; high cheekbones, nicely defined jawline, straight nose with a little rise at the end, lucious rosey pink lips and elegantly arched eyebrows - plucked to give her eyes more definition. Her eyes were a pale brown surrounding the pupil, darkening round the edges, making her eyes beautiful. They could give either the most venomous or the softest most loving look. It didn't bother Reaver so much as what look she gave him as he knew he'd be able to get a look of pure ecstasy from them.
He noticed Robyn's eyes were widening in shock, more than likely to do with the fact that he were there.
Robyn had woken, from her brief but sad slumber very groggily. She was aching, but it served her right for sleeping on the floor.
Her thoughts had came into focus when she saw a man dressed in a black suit, minus the top hat which was on the stand next to him. She knew very well who this was, but how did he get in her chamber? And more importantly why was he in her chamber?
"What exactly do you think you are doing in my private quarters Reaver?"
"I came to see your brother... but I think I've missed quite a ruckus, wouldn't you agree 'Princess' "
The glint in Reaver's eye was distracting, those bright green eyes were so absorbing; too hard to leave unnoticed. His face was perfect, high cheek bones, defined jaw line, regal nose, long thick eye lashes, perfectly arched brows, clear skin and thick jet black hair which was always perfectly styled. He was tall, broad shouldered and his chest was toned to prefection, he had clearly defined abs which anyone would drool over and long masculine legs. Queen Robyn knew that Reaver thought he was god-like; looks and all. And to be quite honest, he was right. He made women go weak at the knee's with out any effort, he was with out a doubt the best looking man anyone had ever seen. One trade-mark Reaver smile was enough to melt anyone, even Robyn, though she wouldn't admit that to this deviant. He was a rogue, he didn't care what happened to others as long as everything was perfect for him. Such a shame he was very deviant man.
"Logan isn't here. Now please, remove yourself from my chair and vacate this room." She was very stern with Reaver, not that he cared.
"Oh how you amuse me Robyn, I may as well make myself comfy here for a while. I didn't make a plan to travel here for nothing, so I shall not make this a wasted journey. And please darling, be a tad more nice towards me? You make me feel very un-welcome you know." He added a wink at the end of his sentence.
Being the polite person she was, Robyn agreed to let Reaver stop at the castle over night in the guest chamber. Although she was a little anxious as they were next to the royal chamber, who knew what thoughts would be formulating in his mind at this moment.
"Wonderful, how considerate of you mon cher. Wouldn't you appreciate a bit of compa..."
The queen cut in. "No Reaver, don't get any thoughts or I can kick you out the castle myself."
"It really is your loss. You'll come to your sense soon dear."
Ignoring his last comment Robyn re-heated the tea-pot with her will power, making herself another cup of tea. Reaver helped himself once Robyn seated herself infront of the fire, retreating back to the armchair a few steps away from her majesty.
Melancholy seemed to be emitting from her Reaver had noticed. So he picked himself up and gracefully walked over to the piano; seating and readying himself to play a tune. Robyn watched him closely, then faced the hearth, intending to listen to Reaver also wondering if he could actually play. She wouldn't be surprised if he could, judging by his long fingers.
A song which was neither gloomy, nor joyous tinkled from the ivories. It was very pleasant to listen to though, lifting the cloud seated in Robyn's mind; she was glad to be rid of it, after having being quite sad the past few hours. As the room started to darken, Reaver eventually stopped playing, but Robyn hadn't noticed, she was standing in the arch-way of the balcony, staring out at the land she ruled over. As stealthily as he could, Reaver snook over to the queen, snaking his arm around her waste. She struggled, not wanting him there touching her, but he insisted that he too simply wanted to look out at the land and night sky, and rather reluctantly relaxed, but still stood quite stiff against him. How naive of her... Reaver chortled to himself.
Is Reaver planning anything, will Robyn accept any possible deviant behaviour? We'll have to see in the next chapter! Please leave a review as I'm not sure how well this chapter has gone, your opinions matter to me. Sharing is caring people ;) If you share, I can try and improve area's which you think need to be improved :) All claims go to Lionhead Studios.
