Hello again!

Thank you very much for your wonderful reviews! Special thanks to SeverusHermioneForever, Bexy boo, Maya (haha, I want an Uther too! =P), Chris, Helen and Someone from Ireland. You made my day, guys!

Now let's see what Merlin will tell Arthur... I really hope he won't be put in the stocks (poor Merlin! Hahaha).

Have fun. =D

Previously...

"Good. Well, what did you wanted to talk about?" Arthur sat at the table and Merlin followed him.

"About your uncle." Merlin was serious.

Chapter 3

"My uncle?" Arthur thought it weird. "I like him. What's wrong?"

"Well... I don't know how to tell it but..."

"Try to be direct, Merlin." Arthur suggested.

"Fine. I think your uncle came to Camelot looking for revenge!" Merlin said in an only breath.

"Agravaine what?" Arthur was shocked.

"And now I think not only your father, but Morgana and the baby might be in danger too!" Merlin continued, not caring about the prince's shock.

"Merlin..." Arthur couldn't believe it. "It's a very grave accusation." He touched the bridge of his nose in concern.

"I know." Merlin tried to keep calm. Now he started, he must go ahead! "But you've listened to the king yesterday when Agravaine had arrived... The king himself was worried."

"Yes, but... Merlin, my father is worried all the time!" Arthur tried to make Merlin smile, but failed. "Moreover, I like my uncle. He's the only link I have with my maternal family."

"But Arthur..." Merlin tried to insist.

"Merlin..." Arthur warned very seriously.

"Gaius himself told me how your father and Agravaine reacted after your mother was dead. They had argued and..." Merlin told him. He didn't want to include Gaius in that story, but it would be easier if Arthur does listen to him!

"Of course they had argued!" Arthur was a bit angry. It was difficult talk about his mother... and it remembers him of her lack, the empty space she left in his life. "What would you expect, Merlin? A party?" He almost yelled.

"But... but..." Oh no, Arthur must believe him! "Agravaine has threatened your father!" He spoke quickly. "Morgana has seen it in her sight yesterday! He had said he wants your father to pay for her death!"

Arthur was leading Merlin out of his chambers.

"Obviously he did it!" Arthur yelled. "He was desperate at that time! But my uncle is a rational man, Merlin. I'm sure now he can see reality, I mean, obviously it wasn't my father's fault, why would he still wants revenge?" Arthur wondered.

"Because he's Agravaine!" Merlin said almost desperately as Arthur opened the door.

"Merlin..."

"He's evil, Arthur!" Merlin squeaked.

"No, he isn't." Arthur pointed a bit calmer. "I talked to him yesterday night. He's here just to visit us."

"He's lying." Merlin said quickly.

"Merlin!" Arthur couldn't believe his friend's audacity! "He's a good man!"

"He's mocking." Merlin said in the same way.

"Enough, Merlin!" Arthur lost his temper. "Now I think you better go and let me bathe!"

And with a loud noise, the door was closed in his face.

They were dinning in the great hall. Uther sat at the head of the table as always. Morgana was by his left, having Agravaine by her side. By the king's right, Arthur was sat, Gwen by his side.

"Wine, your highness?" A servant with a big silver jar offered him.

"Yes, please." The king accepted.

Then he offered and served Arthur, Gwen and Agravaine.

Merlin said Morgana should avoid wine during her pregnancy. The servant who usually served them during meals has been told about that and stopped offering Morgana wine, always bringing the lady a goblet full of apple juice or something good for her baby.

"Hey boy!" Agravaine called the servant in an authoritarian way. "It seems you forgot to give Lady Morgana some wine."

"Oh..." Morgana smiled. Uther, however, got pale. "That's fine... I don't use to drink wine."

"You don't drink wine?" Agravaine was suspicious. He looked at Uther.

"The physician said I should avoid it." Morgana concluded the topic.

"Sadly... it's delicious!" Agravaine commented, still wondering what could be wrong with her. It was making him so curious!

Uther was looking a bit angry at Agravaine. He didn't like how close he was to Morgana. But his worries were gone as she looked at him with a bright smile.

They ate almost completely in silence. It was perceptible Uther and Agravaine weren't comfortable with each other's presence, but at least they weren't arguing anymore.

"So uncle..." Arthur broke the silence. "Was your first day in Camelot agreeable?"

"Yes, of course." He has spend almost all his day in his chambers, pacing and wondering what would be his next steps. "Very agreeable... I could get some rest after the long travel..." Obviously he wouldn't mention the conversation he had with the king that morning.

Arthur looked at his uncle. Was Merlin right about Agravaine? No... his uncle wouldn't harm his family, would he? Well, his father said how Agravaine was desperate and furious after Ygraine's death. Fine, maybe he would harm his father... but Morgana? Why would he? Actually Arthur would say the man was quite fascinated by the lady, for his father's annoyance. That would be funny!

"So, uncle, maybe tomorrow you would like to come for a ride with me? So you could... uh... take a look at the place after so many years... and we could talk a bit more." Arthur invited.

"It would be great, Arthur." Agravaine liked his nephew after all. He smiled, having an idea. "Maybe the ladies would like to join us?"

Morgana suddenly frozen and dropped her fork over her plate, making some noise. No, she surely doesn't want to join Agravaine. He looks like he has such a... dark personality.

"Oh, actually we can't." Gwen said, noticing the wave of panic on Morgana's face. "We have to... uh..." Unfortunately Gwen was a terrible liar.

"Morgana has already a commitment tomorrow, Agravaine." Uther tried to sound formal and polite. But inside he was as furious as a demon. Who he thinks he is to invite Morgana for a ride?

"Uh, really?" Agravaine's voice was cold.

"Yes, with me." Uther told him with a confident and bold gaze, making Arthur smile very amused. Funny! Gwen poked the prince.

"Maybe you and Arthur should go and spend some more time together." Morgana interfered, holding Uther's hand, trying to calm him. "You surely have a lot to tell each other." Uther gave her a thankful gaze.

Agravaine had nothing to answer at that. So he just started tasting the dessert the serving boy has just put in front of him. It was delicious. They had a good cook in Cornwall but Camelot's was amazing! Everything was so tasteful!

Morgana ate her dessert distractedly, not listening what Arthur was telling his uncle (about the places they could visit tomorrow or something like that). Uther was eating looking at the girl... she was hot. As if that dessert was the most tasteful food all over the world. Agravaine noticed it too, not listening at all to his nephew. And Gwen noticed that. What exactly the foreign man wants here? She didn't trust him. Not only because everything the king told them about Agravaine yesterday, but the man was so... so... how to say? He looks just like a villain from fairytales!

"Are you fine, Morgana?" Uther asked her. He noticed Morgana was a bit sleepy.

"I'm fine." She smiled at him. Her Uther was always so careful! "I'm just tired... If you excuse me, I think I'm going to my chambers." Morgana stood up.

"It may be not safe for a lady walk alone in such a dark night..." Agravaine stood up too; making Uther came back to earth. "May I escort you, milady?" He offered her his arm, putting Morgana in a dilemma. She didn't want him to go with her, but she couldn't tell their guest that. Arthur, however, looked quite amused, relaxed in his chair and enjoying the show. The prince was watching the scene with his arms crossed and a smirk on his lips.

"I'm sure it won't be necessary, Agravaine." Uther said firmly, standing too.

"My lord, I know she's your ward and you care for her security... I swear I'll just escort Lady Morgana and..." Agravaine tried to explain sincerely. No, he wouldn't be bad to her. He was a lord after all!

"It's not necessary." The king repeated sounding very serious, interrupting the man and taking Morgana's arm in a gentle but firm way. "She'll be safe with me." Then he faced Morgana with a much softer gaze. "Come on, my dear..." Then he looked at the others, serious again. "Have a good night you all."

They calmly walked out of the room, under Agravaine's curious and angry gaze and Arthur's smirk.

"Well... maybe I should go to my chambers too." The man finally said, still standing. "Good night Arthur. Lady Guinevere."

The young couple wished the man a good night, Arthur still smirking.

"Arthur!" Gwen reprehended him. "It was not funny!"

"Oh yes, it was!" Arthur laughed a bit. Then he stopped and looked at Gwen, who was serious. "What's the matter, Guinevere?"

"Your uncle, Agravaine... I don't trust him, Arthur." She confessed. It wasn't something nice to say... but she wants to be completely sincere with Arthur.

"Oh. That. Well, do you know, Merlin told me the same this afternoon." Arthur said, taking her arm gently and going to his chambers. "I don't know... I feel kind of confuse." He confessed her as they entered.

"About what?"

"Agravaine." He sighed, sitting at his bed and tapping his side, so Gwen sat there too. "Yesterday when my father told us all about that... well, I think it's almost expected they aren't best friends, right? Then Merlin told me he thinks Agravaine came for revenge and he thinks my father, Morgana and the baby may be in danger. But..."

"But you don't believe Merlin, right?" Gwen completed his phrase with a gentle voice.

"Oh, Guinevere! It is not like that! I... I really don't know what to think!" The prince looked confused. Before you said that, I thought it was one of Merlin's delirious... You know him." He said when Gwen looked amused at him. "Merlin has such a creative imagination! I think that's why he's so good working with those children!" He smiled. "But when it comes up to adult topics... well, Merlin doesn't see things as the rest of us."

"Because he has magic." Gwen said. "He sees sides of a situation which we can't see, I think." She thought about it. "And that's what makes him special."

"Maybe." Arthur pouted, what Gwen thought adorable. "He's always scared of threats and dangers... such a girl!" He laughed a bit.

"I think he may be right." Gwen was still serious.

Arthur looked at her eyes for some moments.

"After we've started this conversation, I'm starting to worry." Arthur was serious too.

"Arthur he looks so evil!" Gwen said a bit desperately.

"Oh, Guinevere! It's just a man with a difficult and sad life story..." The prince explained. "He lost all his family except of me. The woman he loves is dead. And I know he has some trouble with King Mark..." Arthur told her. "You can't expect him to be all happy and smiling!"

"He's scary!" Gwen continued telling him about her worries. "The way he looks at Morgana..."

"Well, he doesn't know yet about Morgana and my father... and she's beautiful. I personally thought that's quite funny!" He smiled. "My father's reactions in special."

"No, Arthur... can you imagine his reaction when he finds out about their relationship?" Gwen was worried. "Please, Arthur, promise me you'll be careful with Agravaine..."

Arthur hugged Gwen gently, making her feel safer and protected.

"I'll keep an eye at him." Arthur said still hugging him. "Tomorrow morning I'll talk to him and discover whatever he plans to do here in Camelot." He pulled away and looked at Gwen's eyes. "But let's forget about Agravaine for now."

"What? Arthur what do you..." And she was interrupted by his hungry kiss, making Gwen forget about her worries.

"Uther..." Morgana was a bit amused as they were walking in the corridor. "What was that?"

"That was Agravaine trying to seduce you, my dear!" He said as if he talked about weather.

"Oh?" She gasped. "It... it wasn't like that." She was surprised.

"No?" Uther was amused by her embarrass. "Morgana, the man was devouring you with his eyes!" He sighed. "I just showed him you're mine." He said very confidently as they entered Morgana's chambers.

"Uther! You know, I'm not yours..." She smirked.

"Oh no?" He mocked surprise, curious to see what she had in mind. Uther leaned in and kissed her, provoking and teasing Morgana until the lady wrapped her arms around his neck and arched her body against his. So, as Morgana gave in, he pulled away. "And you say you are not mine..." So confident, almost arrogant!

"Not yours... I'm mine!" She smirked.

"Really?" He kissed her quickly, his hands around her waist possessively. His tongue caressed her lips until the lady parted them with a soft moan, so he entered, eager to taste her. "Are you sure of that, Morgana?"

"Hum?" He smiled as she was clearly surrendered to his caresses, her eyes still closed in pleasure and her mouth half opened. "I-I don't belong to anyone." She practically moaned the words.

"Oh, I see." Uther smiled. "Then maybe I should convince you, my dear!"

Agilely but carefully Uther pressed Morgana against the wall, his eyes darkening when he noticed how heavily she was breathing, clearly aroused. He breathed as hard as she, just waiting for the perfect moment... so it came, as soon as Morgana's eyes got opened and met his, Uther just crushed their lips together, ravishing Morgana's mouth like a brave man breaking a dense forest which belongs only to him, to do whatever he wants to. Morgana moaned and surrendered to his kisses. How could she resist?

"Mine!" He breathed while his mouth went down and down and his hands went to undress her.

This time he had no other response from Morgana but her moans. As her dress fell over the floor around her feet, Uther helped his lover to take out his shirt. Now Morgana couldn't control herself! She leaned in and kissed his chest, her hands going down and down until they reached the laces of his trousers. So Uther held her wrists and pressed them against the wall, containing Morgana with his own body.

"Uther..." Morgana whispered anxiously. "Come on..." She tried to release her wrists from his grip, but it was futile. "Please, my love..."

"Say it." He said serious, completely aroused... Morgana could feel his erection pulsing against her body and she knew how much he was controlling himself to not just take her. "What do you want, Morgana?" He smirked, knowing the answer.

Morgana breathed hard when his tongue licked her lips, the sensitive area on her neck and her nipples.

"I want... Oh!" She gasped as Uther sucked her collarbone. "I want to be yours!" She finally admitted, what made him release her wrists.

While Morgana's hands went eagerly to unlace his trousers and pump his hardness, Uther's went across all her body, holding carelessly her hips as Morgana pumped hard. She smiled when his head fell back and her mouth started to kiss his jaw, his neck, his chest...

"Morgana... I won't last..." His voice was rough and desperate.

It made Morgana smile. Yes, even if Uther never admits it, she can make him hers so easily!

"Then make me yours, Uther." She said, playing his game. "I'm waiting..." She sounded self confident, almost authoritarian.

Oh, but Morgana wasn't ready for the moment Uther would so easily lift her, still keeping her back against the rough and cold stone wall. Yes, Uther always surprises her! She wrapped her legs around his body and her arms around his neck, trying to have some stability.

"Ready?" He positioned his hardness near of her entrance, penetrating just its head... just teasing her.

"Oh goddess! Come on, Uther!" Now it was her head falling back, her eyes closed in passion and pleasure. She tried to move her hips, but he had the complete control... yes, for now she was Uther's to do whatever he wants to. Morgana shivered at that thought.

She was more than ready, Uther smiled, she was begging! So he finally entered, both of them moaning loud. Once he was inside of Morgana, not moving, his mouth kissed hers and went to her neck.

"As soft as a petal!" Uther said against her skin, sending shivers across her body.

"Come on! Convince me I'm yours!" It took her a couple of moments for Morgana notices those words have came from her lips! She just noticed that when Uther looked at her, surprised and amused. "Uther, please... move!" Morgana couldn't believe his self-control sometimes.

And so he did! Uther was more and more aroused with the entire situation, her moans and gasps each time he entered just made it even more amazing.

"Mine." He declared while lifting her body and letting her going down along his erection, making him enter so hard.

"Oh... More, Uther!" Morgana pleaded. "Harder... faster..." She gasped.

As Uther increased his pace, Morgana's body arched between Uther and the wall. The king went to kiss the area of her collarbone, neck and the top of her breasts. He knew how much Morgana enjoyed it. As soon as Uther felt her climax arriving, he increased the rhythm once more.

"Oh! I'm going to... Oh... oh!" Uther smirked at his lover. He adores the way Morgana always surrender to his caresses.

His release was close too. He wanted to hear her screams of pleasure while making love to Morgana.

"Oh... oh, love!" So near, so near... "Uther!" She came, pulsing deliciously around his member, her body completely relaxed now. And, groaning with her, Uther came too, spilling his warm seed inside of her.

One of Uther's hands brought her face to his and he kissed her passionately.

"Tired?" He smiled.

"A bit." She smiled back. Her head lay on his shoulder, kissing gently his neck.

Uther knew it wasn't true. Morgana was clearly exhausted! He carried her to bed and covered their bodies with the soft blankets, kissing all the places he had sucked so roughly, now tenderly.

And finally, completely satisfied, the couple slept in each other's arms.

The morning was very rainy, what unfortunately obliged Arthur and Agravaine to postpone their ride.

Now they were all at the table finishing their breakfast. It had been a very silent meal. But nor Morgana neither Uther cared. They were occupied exchanging glances and smiles. The lady sighed as Uther's foot came to hers, teasing softly.

Agravaine looked a bit intrigued at her as she gasped... weird.

But everyone's attention suddenly was taken by a woman's voice saying something outside the room. Then they heard Hildebrand usually polite voice:

"No, milady, I beg you not to do that! You must be announced before you enter..." The poor manservant tried to convince whoever it was.

"Oh, leave me!" The woman replied. "You have no idea of who I am, don't you?"

So the door was abruptly opened, making Uther and Arthur get up automatically, their swords in hands.

"Sister!" Morgana got up too, sounding very surprised, smiling at the soak blonde woman.

Here we have our first guest! =)

Please, review and let me know what you think.

Let's hope Agravaine will be fine when Morgause says why she's in Camelot! oO
