Thank you very very much for your wonderful reviews. Special thanks to SeverusHermioneForever, Maya, Chris, Someone from Ireland and Helen. Thank you also for the messages and for the favourite. It always means a lot.
And now let's see Agravaine's reaction! :O
Have fun!
Previously...
Morgause walked in the dark of night, her cloak wrapping her body not only for warmth, but because she didn't want to get caught. Her head was completely hided in her hood. For now she was a shadow. Only a shadow.
She arrived where should be the handsome man's chambers. Agravaine was his name. She preferred not to knock so she opened the door and entered silently. As quietly as a sorceress knows to be during a dark night...
Chapter 5
"Milady!" Agravaine promptly saw her and got up from his chair very surprised. He never imagined she would just come to his chambers late at night!
"Lord Agravaine." Morgause said smiling and taking out her hood. "I'm so sorry, did I interrupt something?" She looked at the table and saw a letter being written.
"Uh... no! I mean, no, of course you didn't." He was nervous. Good, very good, the blonde woman smiled. "I was just finishing a letter to my servant in Cornwall. I decided to stay some more time that I first intended here in Camelot."
"Oh..." She showed interest walking to him. "May I ask why?"
"Well..." He smirked at her attitude. "I have a lot of reasons to stay." He smiled at her with something on his eyes that Morgause understood to be lust and seduction. "Good food, beautiful places around here... gorgeous women..." He added as Morgause's body was pressed against his, her mouth just inches apart from his.
"Really?" He could feel her breath on his lips as she murmured.
Morgause cupped his cheek, Agravaine's gaze was locked in her teasing lips. His head was coming near and near... So her hand moved from his cheek and she put her thumb on his way, preventing him to kiss her. He just licked it and sucked a bit. And his acts made Morgause lost for some brief moments. But soon enough she was back to her mind.
"Oh, you're a really daring boy!" She said hiding her surprised face with a smirk and turning away. "I like it."
"I know we have just met, but you're very beautiful, milady." Agravaine said with a hypnotized gaze.
Morgause stopped walking and faced him again. She was in her usual self confidence and boldness again. So she just gave him a gaze which seemed to say 'I know it!'
"Well. But it seems you didn't answer my question, milord." Her voice was serious, but all the time she looked at his body with desire, aware he was noticing it. "Women, beautiful places... you probably have whatever you need at home. Then why Camelot?" She walked to him again, stopping just before their bodies touched. "A lord like you should be sincere with a lady." She said with a softer voice and a smirk.
"I'm staying for the same reason than you." He said sincerely. "The upcoming wedding."
"Oh. I see." Her hand caressed his chest, feeling how muscular he was.
"But I fear my feelings for the event are not the same than yours." He said, Morgause was happy to notice his voice was a bit strangled.
"You only will be sure if you tell me." She said looking at his lips, just to provoke him, of course...
"I'm not happy with it." He said. "You probably noticed it when you arrived here." He remembered the confrontation he had with the king.
"And what makes you presume I am?" She said by impulse, her eyes suddenly locked on his.
"She's your sister. Probably you're happy for her..." He tried to be rational.
"I'd be happier if her future husband were anyone else but Uther Pendragon." Morgause said with fury. "I fear for her well being. He's a murderer."
"Indeed." Agravaine agreed.
"And my sister has magic." She continued. "What if he changes his mind and goes back to his old ways? He would kill her without think twice!"
He thought the lady sounded very worried, so touched softly her cheek trying to bring a smile to her lips again. Her skin was soft and warm. Morgause's eyes got closed automatically. What was that! She opened it shocked with her own behaviour and pulled away just before he could kiss her. What was wrong? Why she was acting like that? It wasn't the first time she plays like that with a man to have an alliance or information she needs. She always has the control of situation. And she caught herself acting just like a young girl!
"Not yet, my lord." She gave a step back and smirked again, praying he didn't notice her surprise. However they were still very close to each other. Close enough to feel the heat coming from each other's body.
"Well..." Agravaine tried to say something to break the awkward moment. "The king had never hesitated to kill my poor sister." He preferred not to mention the fact Lady Morgana has magic. Not now at least... Not when he had a sorceress in his chambers. A sexy and gorgeous one, who seems to desire him fiercely, by the way.
"He betrayed your sister's memory." Morgause was back to the game! "I suppose you hate Uther Pendragon as much as me."
"Usually I'm a calm man. But he's the one I have most hated in my entire life." Agravaine sounded very confident.
Morgause smirked satisfied. The game was finished and she was the winner!
"Then we have much more in common than you first supposed, Lord Agravaine." She told him seriously, caressing his cheek softly again. "I guess you agree with me. We must stop that madness."
"Of course." He answered politely, her caresses preventing him of being too rational.
"Good." She removed her hand from his cheek and smiled.
Morgause turned away, her hair waving and exhaling a jasmine perfume that just increased the mystery around that tempting woman. Agravaine couldn't resist. He was a lord. But he also was alive! His hand just held Morgause's arm making her turn around again to face him and bringing her back, making the blonde crush against his body heavily. In the next moment, before any of them could realise, their opened mouths were smashed together, in a hot and fierce kiss. He bit her lower lip, causing Morgause to moan involuntarily and held him by his shirt, keeping Agravaine in place. His hands were still holding her arms in a way that would surely leave marks. Gentleness was miles away from that kiss. Agravaine groaned as Morgause arched her body. And hearing it, she noticed what she was doing and pulled away. It almost went out of control! Almost...
Once again, she hid her surprise with a daring smirk and seductively wiped her swollen lips with her hand.
"I presume we have a deal?" She asked so confident that it sounded almost arrogant. She passed her hand in his dark hair while saying that, always making contact to keep his attention...
"Of course I'm interested in stop that bizarreness." He said serious, his eyes still dark with desire.
Morgause smiled victoriously and walked to the door.
"Oh, Lord Agravaine..." She stopped just after she had opened the door and looked at him again. "If you're interested in... something more, my chambers are in the end of the corridor." She said boldly with a suggestive gaze just before close the door and leave Agravaine alone with his burning desire.
She arrived at her own chambers and took out her cloak, allowing a relieved sigh to escape. Almost! Almost all her plans and hopes were lost! Why? Just because of a handsome and seductive man!
But the game was almost completely won. Morgause opened her hand and put in a little bottle which was on the table a couple of dark hairs. Lord Agravaine's hairs. She walked to her bed and took a book from under the pillows. An old book she earned from an aged servant woman when she arrived in the north as a young girl.
Morgause went near of the fireplace, the only spot of light in her chambers, and opened the book, looking for something. Soon she found it. A potion which would help her to have someone's unquestionable loyalty. She had been practicing magic and making potions since she was very young. Her aunt had never encouraged it, but she always respected her magic and allowed her to study and practice. Morgause knew well enough what she was doing.
"Well, let me see..." She agilely took the ingredients from a small leather bag. Herbs, a big ruby and a dagger.
She took her small cauldron (a witch always must have one nearby!) and filled it with some wine, placing it in the fireplace. When it boiled, she put the herbs, saying a spell. A dense steam filled the fireplace and when it was gone, the potion stopped boiling, it was cold. So she knew it was time. She took her dagger and made a cut on her left palm. So some drops of her blood poured in the potion, while the witch said one more spell. It boiled instantly, so she put the ruby and it stopped. Morgause took the cauldron and poured the liquid in the bottle she had put Agravaine's hair. So she put the cork on the bottle before the steams could flow. Then she put the ruby back in the leather bag.
"Done!" She smiled happily admiring her careful work for some moments.
She put her palms together and murmured a healing spell, so the wound on her left palm completely disappeared. Morgause continued reading the recipe. She must drink the potion as soon as the steams stop and then she would had 24 hours more to complete the magic. The book says that, after drink the potion, the witch must have sex with the person for who she has made the magic. Sex is something that makes people use a lot of energy. Specially someone who has magic. Easy... she smirked. She would really enjoy that part. However, she finished reading the text, it must be the first time the witch has sex with the person from whom she wants unconditional loyalty. That almost couldn't be! Morgause sighed. She must practice her self control.
"Let me see..." She said to herself as she looked at the bottle. "Probably in the morning I can drink it... And then, the best part! Seduce Lord Agravaine!" The blonde was amused.
She was interrupted by a soft knock. Morgause barely had time to hide the bottle and the book. Because Lord Agravaine just slipped in, with an arrogant smile.
"Lord Agravaine!" She was the one surprised now, getting up by impulse.
"Milady!" He smiled and walked to her very confidently.
"It's late..." She said. Despite her wishes, nothing could happen between them. No before she takes the potion. "You should be in bed."
"It's a very good idea." He said wrapping his arms around her and it was so comfortable be in his arms! "Maybe you'd like to join me?"
"Oh?" Why he has to be so perfect? She was almost angry. "Maybe you had enough activity for tonight."
"I don't get tired easily!" Agravaine said just before crush his lips on hers fiercely.
Morgause couldn't help. She was very angry as her body responded automatically. Her hands went to his hair, caressing and pulling it. She moaned in his mouth as his tongue caressed her lips, imploring for passage, begging to meet hers. As her lips parted, Agravaine didn't lose time, he just entered, exploring her without any softness, making the lady moan again.
His hands were suddenly everywhere! From her arms to her back, and then to her hips and her bottom, which he held hardly, bringing her nearer. Morgause could feel him completely hard against her and she needed all her self control to pull away. Both of them were panting, looking with darkened eyes at each other.
"Not tonight, Agravaine..." She whispered, desire so present on her voice that it was impossible not to doubt her words.
"Why not?" He agilely pressed her against the wall, kissing roughly her neck. Goddess! That man was exactly what she has always wanted, she must admit it at least to herself. Not only a handsome and noble man, but fierce lover. Someone who could give her so much pleasure... more than that! A man who was almost begging to make her scream in pleasure.
"Oh!" He bite a sensitive spot, his hands now squeezing repeatedly her breasts. "Agravaine!" It sounded more like a moan than a warning.
"Hum?" He never stopped. He wouldn't give up. And she wanted him so hard... She must stop that, but she just didn't find the will.
"You have to stop..." She breathed. "Because..." He interrupted her with another open mouthed kiss. So Morgause realised: they wouldn't stop. She would have to find another way to have his loyalty...
That was when someone knocked softly again. It took them several moments to notice what was happening. So Morgause roughly pulled Agravaine away, both breathing hard. And it wasn't only his breath that was hard, Morgause smirked and he noticed her gaze. So the man sat at the table to hide his erection.
"Yes?" Morgause's voice was more firm than she had expected it to be. She passed her hands by her blond hair, trying to make it more presentable. Agravaine just observed with desire.
"Sister?" Came Morgana's voice.
"Morgana! Come in!" She invited opening the door herself. Morgause sounded thankful. Her plan was going to work again!
For Agravaine's enormous surprise and despair, the lady entered wearing just a robe over her thin white nightgown. Two wonderful women in the same chamber than he. Two witches, he corrected himself. But he couldn't believe they were evil... both so gorgeous! His erection pulsed.
"Oh!" Morgana looked surprised at Lord Agravaine. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know you had a guest."
"That's fine, sister." Morgause said casually. "Lord Agravaine was already on his way."
"I... yes!" He said. "I wish you both a good night, my ladies!" He went to the door and Morgana noticed he seems clumsy. Of course, some things are not easy to hide... specially the big ones!
As the door was closed, Morgause smiled sincerely at her younger sister, took her hand gently and led her to the bed.
"We didn't talk enough, right?" Morgause asked.
"I felt the same. So many years of stories to tell!" She was excited.
"Sure... Tell me, and your precious king doesn't mind his lovely ward is here so late at night?" She smirked, making her sister blush.
"Uther has some paperwork to finish... so it's not like he could give me so much attention." She was still a bit blushed.
"So my little sister will soon be the queen of Camelot!" Morgause said slowly, lying over some pillows.
"I still can't believe he proposed, sister!" Morgana was so excited. "It was such a beautiful night! He had prepared his chambers in a special way, then when we arrived from Cenred's castle he just proposed!"
"Cenred?" Morgause thought it weird.
"Oh. It's... a very long story, sister." Morgana explained. "Cenred had kidnapped me. Oh, on the truth it was a mistake, but anyway... Uther obviously went to rescue me."
"Obviously..." Morgause agreed. "Is he... Cenred... alive?" She had already made some business with him before.
"Probably. When he saw the knights were beating his men, he just ran away!"
"Coward." Morgause commented. Still the same coward... easy to manipulate. And probably eager for revenge. Good, very good.
"But what about you, sister?" Morgana changed the topic. "Enjoying Camelot?"
"Of course." Much more than you could imagine... she remembered Agravaine's visit. "Everything is so good here. You must be proud of becoming the queen."
"Being the queen will be nice. You know, I really love and care for the people. Since I arrived here I do. And as the queen I'll be even more present. But what I'm really eager for is to be Uther's wife." She gave a passionate smile.
Goddess, Morgause noticed with surprise and concern, Morgana's eyes shine so much whenever that man is mentioned!
"I really can't understand." Morgause pointed. "Are you not afraid, sister?"
"Of what?" What an odd question! "What do you mean, sister?"
"He's Uther Pendragon!" Morgause said agitatedly. "What if he changes his mind again? What if something happens and he just decides to banish magic again? Hum?"
"Sister! He wouldn't!" Morgana was shocked.
"How can you be so sure?" She continued planting question. In part because she really was worried with her sister's well being and in part she just doesn't like the king for everything he has done against magic.
"I wouldn't allow! Arthur and Merlin would be against it too, and they're part of the council. And Gaius!" She told her. "Moreover, the people is more conscientious now, even being the king, Uther just can't manipulate them like that!" Morgana continued. "When he allowed magic he had even asked his people the opinions they have about the new law!" Morgana told her.
"Are you serious?" Morgause was surprised. She didn't expect that. "He's probably the only king to do so."
"Yes. Things are very different now, sister." Morgana smiled sweetly. "Better and happier."
They both sighed as the silence fall over the warm chambers. Morgana lay back on her sister's bed, allowing her spine to rest.
"Sister." She called with a sweeter voice. "Tell me about our mother... her magic."
"Well, Morgana... I was older when our mother passed away. But you have surely lived more time with her than I had." Morgause said calmly, coming near and caressing Morgana's dark hair just like she used to do when her young sister was a little girl. "You know, before she was married to your father, it was a difficult time. It's hard for a woman be alone with a little child. Even for royalty. Then when she got married, she was blind. All she saw and cared about was Gorlois. She loved him so intensely..."
Morgana sighed hearing that. It was so good, so comfortable hear someone talking good things about her parents.
"So you were born and I knew you had magic. We both had as every woman in our family, our mother told me so." Morgause continued telling her about her memories. "Our mother was very discrete about her magic. She had to be, living near here, under Uther Pendragon's reign. Having him as her husband's best friend."
"So mother had never teach you?" Morgana was surprised.
"Never. That was the last time she talked to me about her magic. And before that, sometimes she only used to make sparks to make me laugh when I was very young, some years before she had married Gorlois." The blonde was smiling.
"That's why you knew about her magic and I didn't." Morgana concluded.
"Well, the most important now is that you know about your magic and is learning about how to use it. Tell me, who's teaching you?"
"Merlin and Gaius." She answered. "They're being so good to me."
"Well, sister... if you need some more help, or just to talk, I'm here for you." She smiled.
"Thank you sister!" Morgana hugged her sister again.
It was comprehensible why the king fell in love with her. Her younger sister was not only beautiful, she was sweet and lovely... and even for a man like Uther, that means something.
They continued talking about less important things, mostly memories of their childhood until someone knocked once again. Not so softly this time, but showing a lot of self confidence. You surely must have self confidence to knock so hard at that time of night!
"Come in!" Morgause said as both women sat on the bed.
"Uther!" Morgana's eyes shined as the king's head popped from the door. The next moment she was on his arms, hugging him and kissing her Uther chastely.
Morgause thought it was something unusual to see. Before she received the invitation to Morgana's wedding, Morgause had never before imagined her little sister in love. And surely she had never imagined little Morgana kissing a man like that and allowing him to hold her so possessively. But now looking at them, they're a nice couple... someway they match! Unless for the fact her lovely and innocent little sister was kissing a cruel murderer, a tyrant!
Morgause coughed, making Morgana and Uther pull away by impulse, the lady very blushed, for Uther's delight.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Lady Morgause." The king apologised a bit amused. "I was looking for you, my dear." He smiled at Morgana.
"Have you finished your paperwork?" She sounded hopeful. Morgause watched them astonished. No, thanks Goddess she doesn't intend to fall in love...
"No..." Uther caressed her cheek. "But it can wait until tomorrow... I missed you."
Morgause was more shocked than ever! He was being sweet with Morgana! No that Morgause was jealous, it was just... he was King Uther Pendragon. And he was being sweet.
"My Uther!" Morgana murmured and hugged him, making Uther touched.
"Morgana..." He was a bit awkward. It was just so weird be like that with Morgana when there was someone else watching with so much attention! "Maybe it's time to go, my dear..."
"Oh! Yes! Hum... good night sister!" She smiled.
"Good night." The blonde answered calmly while Uther nodded at her and the couple left.
Finally the couple arrived at Morgana's chambers. Morgana went near of the bed and started taking out her robe, while Uther hugged her from her back, caressing her body and giving some tender kisses on her neck. As her robe fell over the floor, Uther gallantly held her hand and made Morgana turn around, as if they were dancing, what made the lady very amused.
"I love when you smile." Uther said before kiss her again, caressing softly her lips with his.
"Oh, you're trying to seduce me!" She joked, making Uther smile too.
"Am I managing?" He joked back, just before kissing her hand, his eyes always on hers.
"Maybe..." Morgana sat on her bed and Uther just knelt in front of her and leaned in, putting a soft but hot kiss on his lady's mouth. Sucking her lower lip until he heard her moaning. "Uther..." She called him.
"Hum?"
"Not today..." She was feeling so tired and sleepy.
Uther looked at her. Morgana almost never says no when the matters were sex. By the way, she always enjoys it a lot.
"Aren't you feeling well, my dear?" Uther was worried. Her Uther was always so careful!
"I'm fine, it's just..." She blushed a bit and looked down.
"Don't be shy." She was so lovely! His hand lifted softly her chin, making her look at him. "I love you. Trust me, Morgana, there is nothing is this earth I want more than make you happy." He cupped her cheek.
She smiled, turned her head to his hand and kissed his palm, making Uther touched.
"I love you so much!" She whispered.
Uther sat on the bed at her side and listened to his future wife.
"I don't know to explain it, Uther. It seems pregnancy is making me feel such weird things sometimes!" She said and, for her great surprise, Uther had a big smile. "My emotions are so confused and I've been feeling tired and sleepy."
"Well, Morgana... I'm not a physician... But it's perfectly normal. After all, our child need to grow." He touched softly her belly. "If there is something... anything you want me to do to make you feel better..."
"So sweet!" She smiled. "I'd like to sleep snuggled on you." Uther smiled at that.
"Oh, Morgana!" He smiled. Uther still wants her. A lot. But he understood the moment. "Come, my dear." He lay on her bed and opened his arms to her. "Lie with me."
Morgana smiled and lay too, Uther's arms wrapped around her while they both sighed and moaned as their bodies made a soft contact.
"Here we are!" Uther said. "Now you're protected and comfortable."
"And warm." She added.
"Oh, Morgana, no provocations, please!" He almost begged, what made the lady smile, aware of his effort not just to have her. "Let's sleep. Our baby needs his mother to rest."
"Her!" Morgana corrected by impulse, making Uther amused. "Good night, Uther." She sounded sleepy.
"Good night, my dear."
He caressed her until Morgana was asleep. Moments after, the king himself was sleeping too.
Ending with a cute moment today!
Yes, maybe it's weird. But I must confess I like Morgause - Agravaine! Not in a romantic way, but somehow they match.
What do you think? Is my Morgause being convincible?
About next one, I know this is going to be quite obvious, but... "It's about my sister... I don't know, she's just so different!"
Please, review and let me smile more this weekend! =D
