Chapter XXIII
"Okay now sit." Lucy ordered Caspian the moment he stepped into her room. He obeyed by taking the arm chair near the fire place. She began pacing around the room while he watched like a predator surveying its prey.
"Let me guess, stop being jealous of Adam?" he finally asked.
"Duh."
"Lu, I can't help it okay? The way he looks at you, it just pisses me off."
"Really? Welcome to my world." She retorted sarcastically.
"What does that mean?" he leaned forward with his elbows on his knees. Before she could answer a knock came from the door.
"I'm coming in." Peter said from the other side.
"No you're not." They both yelled at him as he came in.
"Okay, no need to get all aggressive."
"Peter, out." After meeting Lucy's stern gaze, he left without uttering another word.
And of course, he stood by the door eavesdropping, with Susan close by, while Edmund and Annabelle shook their heads at them, but with no intention of leaving themselves.
Back in the room, the arguing turned into yelling:
"You can't tell me who I can be friends with!"
"I didn't say that Lucy, I just can't help being jealous that's all!"
"Well, get used to it because I certainly won't stop talking to other men just because you are!"
"If you were in my place, what would you do?"
"God Caspian, I already was in your place, for five damn years! You courted so many women that I lost count, while you were too busy charming others, I was hurting and felt like crap because I had no right to feel jealous but I did!"
"I didn't know, Okay? I'm sorry!" After seeing the remorse in his eyes, Lucy softened her voice, while stroking his cheek tenderly:
"Caspian, I didn't want to make you feel guilty, and I don't need you to be jealous, what I need is your trust, I love you, there's no one I'd rather be with no matter what, there may be a hundred of men wanting to court me but please know that I only have eyes for you, and I know that you care for me, and that you will never cheat, and that my feelings will never change." He regarded her, reading her eyes and after seeing her sincerity he couldn't help but feel some weird warmth spreading in his heart, smiling at her he said the words that he long had wanted to say:
"I'm a really lucky man."
"And I'm a really lucky woman."
He leaned down taking her lips in a gentle kiss, his own moving slowly against hers, pouring his gratefulness in only one kiss.
On the other side, Susan was peeking through the doorknob while Peter kept pestering her with questions, she and Annabelle awed after hearing the last exchanged sentences, and then silence came from the room.
"What are they doing?"The oldest Pevensie whispered.
"Kissing in the tenderest way." She whispered back.
"What else? Keep describing."
"Isn't that violating their privacy?"
"Duh, we already are, just tell me."
"Still kissing, she whispered something in his ear, he looks at her mischievously, kissing again, I take that back, they are ravishing each other's mouths, uh-oh his tongue comes in, she gasps-"
"Susan, not that much details!" a really embarrassed Peter hissed, while his brother listened to his sister his mouth shaped in an O, his lady was eager for more.
"Just continue."
"Anne" the just king whispered harshly.
"What? Don't tell me you're not curious. Susan?"
The gentle queen kept torturing her brothers by giving even more details
"His hands went to her hips pressing her closer, WOAH! How did she learn to kiss like that?"
"How?" Anne pressed.
"She's literally sucking his mouth, god that must drive him even crazier, Oh! She went to his jaw, his neck, her hands are tucking on his shirt, no, clothes are still on."
Peter let out a sigh of relief, they wouldn't, right?
"Okay, now stop." Edmund pulled his older sister from the door while a loud moan came from the room.
"What the hell?" Peter hissed, his brother blocked his way "They are responsible, they won't do anything okay? Just making out a little." Another grunt, from Caspian apparently "Okay a lot, and Susan DON'T." she huffed standing by Annabelle.
The telmarine king's breathy voice stopped their arguing:
"How does this dress come off?" a pause before Lucy responded in the same voice.
"Try undoing the laces in the back, It will slide easily, now take off your tunic."
Peter snapped and jumped to the door cursing.
"Like Hell!" but to his surprise, Lucy and Caspian stood facing him, hands crossed, eye brow lifted and a smirk on their lips, And fully clothed, right behind the door.
"Had a good time?" Lucy asked amusement flickering in her sea green eyes.
"What?" Her oldest brother asked confused, Caspian answered him instead:
"Did you really think we didn't know you were eavesdropping?"
"Oops got caught" Anne muttered.
"Oh and Susan, your descriptions are perfect, detailed too, oh and your comments, exquisite."
"Yes also the one where you wondered where I learned to kiss" added the valiant queen.
"You mean you knew we were here all along and did all this just to fool us?" asked Peter.
"Duh" Lucy said at the same time as Caspian muttered "Not that I didn't like it. Ow! Lu! What was that for?"
"These are my siblings, idiot." He smirked, then leaned to her ear "Not that you were complaining." She blushed deep red, but only the memory left her burning with desire, and looking at his eyes she knew he felt exactly the same. Edmund cleared his throat and asked sarcastically:
"If you guys want to continue whatever you were doing, we can leave you know?"
"Yes please" Caspian answered in fake politeness.
"Oh no, we won't." Peter refused stubbornly. Annabelle and Susan, feeling guilty of peeking, dragged him forcefully ignoring his protests. While the just king followed him, shaking his head and chuckling after muttering something that sounded like 'I can't believe they tricked us'.
Lucy sighed, relieved for some peace and quiet, after making sure they were really gone.
"Now where were we?" her man's husky voice whispered as he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, leaving a trail of light kisses down her neck to her shoulders, she shivered at the new sensation while leaning her head to the side giving him better access, he chuckled at her reaction "Told you you didn't mind."
She rolled her eyes, wrapped her arms around his neck after facing him "Shut up and kiss me."
He didn't need any further encouragement, his mouth crashing on hers, as he groaned at her sweet taste, he began sucking and nibbling on her lips until they were bloody red and swollen from his ravishing, her hands tucked on his tunic, and knowing what she wanted, he helped her take it off. She stopped admiring him from his broad shoulders to his wide chest to his firm abdomen, every inch of him was firm muscle, her hands followed her eyes, and she felt his body flex under her touch. He leaned to kiss her again, one hand on her lower back pressing them together while the other cupped her jaw and neck, moving her head for better access, wanting to more of her sweetness. She moaned when his tongue teased her lips, contouring them slowly then darting inside her mouth, her hands kept traveling up and down his torso, while feeling a new hot feeling at the tip of her tummy. Their mouths continued torturing each other, until they gasped for air, they looked at each other with heavy eyes, but they still wanted more, his hands lifted her while she wrapped her legs around him, he kissed her jaw to the lobe of her ear making her gasp again. She didn't notice they began moving until she was lying flat on her back with Caspian hovering over her on the bed's mattress, kissing every inch of skin he could find, his hands traveling to her thighs, he lowered his lips to the hem of her low neckline where he kissed her just above her heart, sucking and marking her for everyone to see she was his,. Lucy moaned his name, panting, while her nails dug in his back, the slight pain driving him crazy, but managed to speak through her harsh breathing:
"Aggressive, aren't we?" he raised his head and looked at her with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth:
"Just marking my territory."
"Mmm, maybe I should get mad but you know what?" she rolled them until she was straddling him, she leaned to his face and whispered against his lips "I love it."
She kissed him with all the passion she could muster, while moving restlessly against him, he grabbed her hips moving her from his arousal while grunting:
"Lucy, don't move so much"
She smirked seeing what she did to him while sucking on his neck to his throat, using lips, tongue and teeth, she continued her careful ministrations until reaching the same spot over his heart and kissed him, sucking on the skin and nibbling until a visible dark red mark appeared over his chest.
"Proof that you're mine." She murmured in a deep voice, not able to hide the smile on her face.
"I love the sound of It." he kissed her gently before pulling her off him, so they could both stand.
"If we don't leave now, God only knows what I'll do to you." He told her, she agreed with him, surprised that it was already lunch time, that meant they were in this room for an hour now, but somehow the day also felt longer, with everything that happened but they all were morning risers and they finished training at around ten, while the council meeting took place before, at around nine due to Trumpkin's interruption, it ended after an hour and half. Yes the day definitely felt longer, but time with Caspian always flew by, and she loved every second of it.
They entered the dining room hand in hand, and immediately, five pair of eyes turned to them. Lucy smiled innocently while the young king broke into a fit of laughter.
"What?" Peter asked irritated.
"You should see your faces." He choked out.
"Well looking at my sister, I sure as hell wouldn't be fine."
"What's wrong with me?"
"Really Lu? Your face is flushed, your lips bloody red, seeming like they may explode, your clothes are wrinkled, and is that a hickey? No, not one but many, and Caspian look at you, I didn't know my sister was so… wild, a tigress. Wow, you guys know how to spend your time!"
"Susan , stop it!" Lucy hissed.
"Oh now you're embarrassed!"
"I hope nothing happened." Inquired Peter worriedly.
"Don't worry she's fine." Caspian answered.
"Then you did something!"
"I didn't say anything." The telmarine king was having too much of a good time.
"You didn't deny either!"
Annabelle and Edmund watched the argument unfold with great amusement, but also curiosity to what really happened, meanwhile Adam scowled, he really didn't want to hear about their love life, so as to hide it he joined the teasing:
"The council would be so pleased learning you're already working on babies."
Lucy didn't know how she could get any redder than she already was.
"Guys! Nothing happened okay?" Peter gave her a look while Caspian was still in a teasing mood:
"Says the woman who jumped on me and marked my chest"
Susan gasped, while the others gaped at Lucy, she really wasn't as innocent as they thought she was.
"Says the man who did the same."
"What?!" her oldest brother exclaimed.
She took a deep breath and said the most embarrassing thing in her life:
"Okay, Pete, I'm a virgin, now can we not talk about it?"
She glared at Caspian who was roaring with laughter due the horrified expression on poor Peter's face. He pulled her chair as she sat herself still huffing, then leaned and kissed her neck and whispered in her ear an apology, after that he was all forgiven.
Edmund left out a soft whistle "Lucy is becoming a softie."
"Very mature Ed."
"I know thank you Lu."
They began eating soon after, making conversation between bites, until Annabelle harbored the traitor's subject:
"Any idea who the betrayer is?"
"No, not a clue could be found, it's definitely someone from the inside, I have a feeling that he or she is right under our noses, no one could get in the castle, sorcery or not." Edmund responded angrily.
"Don't worry about it, they will be found no matter what."
Edmund pecked her lips while smiling gratefully at her.
"It's not fair! Why am I always the one getting teased and not them?" Lucy protested pouting.
"Duh, you're the youngest AND courting Caspian, please you're number one on our entertainment list."
"Can you show it to me so I can burn it, I mean it's ridiculous, what's wrong with Caspian?"
"He's the biggest womanizer in the world?"
Lucy tried to deny it, but let's face it, no one can deny a water clear truth. Instead she turned her frustration towards the man in question who, in defense, just shrugged:
"Sorry, Lu, my fault."
"Shut up"
"What? you were the one who gave me that nickname. I have to admit, I'm quite the player."
" And I put an end to it, so shut up before I poke your eyeballs out of your head and replace them with those tomatoes in your plate."
"You have such colorful threats sweetie."
"Do not tempt me honey."
"Why do you have to be so violent?"
"Why do you have to be so annoying?"
"Ouch."
"AND silly."
"Why are you so sarcastic?"
"You like me that way, now shut up."
"Shutting up." He zipped his mouth, while Lucy continued chatting with Adam, all tension gone, and soon Caspian joined the conversation as well.
At the other side of the able, Susan began observing the two couples' interactions.
Edmund and Annabelle were reserved, nothing but looks were needed as communication, they were tender with each other, slowly opening like the roses in blossom, learning to know each as their innocent love seemed to grow, and one that may last forever, she had her doubts about them really loving each other, but no one looks at each the way they do unless the heart is involved, true it wasn't that strong, but with time it will strengthen, if given the proper nourishment.
The other couple was another matter entirely; they were natural, like they were made for each other, the kind that you look at and yell 'get married already', they were not only a couple but best friends, knowing every little detail about each other, they were anything but shy, the looks exchanged spoke of lust, desire but also deep feelings, they fought, a lot, with no fear of telling what's on their mind, no secrets kept, no hesitation in showing affection, much to their audience's regret, they were like a sparkle, only with a bit of wind, it could light a fire, warming everyone surrounding them. Like the sea, calm and beautiful when the weather is clear, but dangerous and raging in a storm, and no less beautiful.
Susan prayed that she would find someone just as special, someone who would warm her heart till the very depth of her soul.
Table now cleared, the ladies made their way for a walk on the beach leaving Edmund, Adam, Caspian and Peter in the latest's study.
"I gave the guards order to give access to whoever authorized into the castle to come in or out, denying the possibility of interaction between the traitor and his messenger would only discourage them from meeting frequently, which is the exact opposite of what we want, if we have to catch him, he'll be caught red handed, leading to another source of information, so instead I ordered reports with names of whoever left the city, the mice will be hiding behind the bushes, and they'll follow anyone suspicious."
"Very clever Edmund, you really are a master mind, but will they know if one is suspicious or not?" Caspian asked.
"Body language, clothing…."
"And until now, any suspects?"
"We can trust no one yet, and that's the thing with traitors, we can never suspect them."
"True, brother, Aslan will guide us don't worry. Has word of the ambush reached your father, Adam?"
"Yes Peter, he is most sorry for what happened, he's sending more troops, but this time only he knows when they would arrive, not even I have a clue, precaution, we may have spies surrounding us at this very moment."
"Fair words, let's just hope it will work out in the end."
Deep at night, a silhouette could be sighted lurking between the passages of Cair Paravel; the same clocked figure ran past the east gates of Cair Paravel to the dense forest, meeting with another preson
Whispers were exchanged while the suspect kept glancing behind him making sure he was not followed, the other clocked figure nodded once then took her leave after agreeing to meet the next at the same hour by the caves below the castle.
The exchange was carefully watched by the smallest but sneakiest creatures in the world, waiting to report their discovery to their sovereigns.
