Hello again!

Thank you a lot for your reviews Maya, Chris and Someone from Ireland. Thank you too for the messages! I'm glad you like it.

And now let's join the boys and take Excalibur from the stone! =D

Previously...

"Wait!" Arthur said quickly and the dragon looked at him. "Isn't there another way? I mean... my uncle can't be a traitor!"

"You had seen it with your own eyes, future king."

"Well, yes. But even so, he's under Morgause's spell." Arthur pointed. "It isn't his fault..."

"Don't fool yourself, Arthur. The reason because he's a traitor is because he's a bitter person." Merlin said.

"Merlin? What..."

"Emrys is right again." The dragon said proud of his friend. "A bitter person is always dangerous, because they allowed their love and their happiness to be contaminated by poor energy." He gave them some moments to absorb it. "Never let it happen to you." He said. "And now I really must go!"

The dragon flew away, leaving Merlin and Arthur full of questions.

Chapter 31

"What should we do now?" Arthur asked as the dragon had gone, sounding still a bit shocked because of the revelations.

"Well... I'd say we should go and take Excalibur." Merlin said casually.

"Then let's go! It's hidden in the woods, not too far from Camelot." Arthur said going quickly to the staircase.

"Wait, Arthur! We can't go today!"

"Why not, Merlin?" He said in a bored voice and kept going.

"We've promised your father we would look after Vivienne!"

"Gwen's with her."

"The sun is almost setting!" Merlin tried again.

"So we must go fast!"

"It's going to get dark..."

"Are you afraid of dark, Merlin?" Arthur teased, still going as quick as he could.

"Well... no... but..."

"Merlin, what are you not telling me?" Arthur stopped running and looked at his friend.

"I must keep you safe, Arthur. Only so..."

"Only so Camelot will resist after my father's reign, I know." Arthur completed the story.

"Oh. You know, Morgause has left today..." Merlin said carefully. "Maybe she's still around..."

"Nonsense! We both know where she probably is now."

"And what she's probably doing..." Merlin smirked.

"Merlin!"

"The point is, Arthur, I don't want the risk of meeting Morgause and Agravaine by ourselves in the woods at night." Merlin said sincerely. Arthur was about to protest when Merlin continued firmly. "Nobody would even know where we were."

"Fine." He said annoyed. "We part next morning."

Morgana was pacing in her chambers. Her heart beating harder than usual. Well, she knew Arthur would take good care of Vivienne, and probably he would have Gwen to help him. She completely trusts Uther. He had been her guardian, and he is now her lover, her husband and she loves him deeply. Oh, and he's hot! She smirked, it sounded just like something her sister would say. She was anxious! Since the last weeks of her pregnancy they haven't had a good time of sex. Not properly at least. As usual, during almost two months after Vivienne was born they couldn't have sex in order to let Morgana's body recover from childbirth. After that, Uther had just been so careful! Oh, she appreciates a gentle Uther... but she also knows he has been reprehending his instincts in an almost painful way. Well, and to be really sincere, she actually misses a good session of rough sex with Uther. She smirked at the thought.

When Uther left their chambers with their baby girl, Morgana rushed to her dressing table. She wants him to desire her. Uncontrollably. She arranged her hair loose, the dark curls making a nice contrast with her creamy skin. Her body was almost the same it had been before the pregnancy. Her belly was flat again, thanks to Gaius' potions and to the band she had used around it during the first weeks after the baby was born. Oh, and thanks too to the chicken soup! Merlin instructed Sarah to give Morgana chicken soup every day, claiming it helps the uterus to go back to its usual size. Her breasts, however, were bigger than usual. And heavier. Well... she looked at the mirror. Even so, the clothes she used to wear before the pregnancy fit her perfectly. She looks more like a woman than like a girl now. She hopes Uther still likes her...

She was standing nervously beside the door when it was opened and Uther finally popped in. For a couple of seconds, they simply looked at each other, both panting in expectation. He was as eager for what was about to come as she was.

"Has Vivienne agreed to stay with Arthur?" Morgana asked, breaking the tension.

"Yes." He gave a step in her direction gallantly. "She's having some fun with Merlin's ears." It made her smile.

"Poor Merlin... He..." She couldn't finish because Uther's hand just grabbed her waist and their lips connected, making Morgana gasp surprised and Uther smirk during the kiss.

As he pulled away, he felt his erection grow at the sight of Morgana panting with her eyes closed and her swollen lips. He caressed softly her cheek, noticing he was panting in expectation too. He has tried to be very gentle and sweet to her during the sex after Vivienne was born. But, he must confess at least to himself, it was so difficult to resist her!

"Look at my eyes, Morgana." He commanded with a rough voice and, for his surprise, she obeyed. "Always remember that I love you, my dear."

"Uther..." She smiled sweetly. "I love you too!" He smiled at that. "I need you so much, love..." She confessed in a whisper. "I-I need you properly, you know." Oh, his eyes were so dark! "Of course I like when you're gentle and I know how careful you are, but..."

"Morgana." Uther interrupted.

He touched her chin amazed, forcing her to make eye contact again. She was blushed, obviously feeling a bit shy.

"Uther!" She sighed. "I know my body has changed and you probably don't desire me in the same way, but..."

"Stop saying that!" He interrupted once again. "You're even more gorgeous now. Looking so happy and so feminine... I suppose maternity does that." He smiled. "God, Morgana, you have no idea how hard I use to be after you sleep." She gasped at that. "I... I always presumed you were tired... or you would prefer me to be sweeter..."

Morgana pressed him against the wall and kissed his neck, her hands going under Uther's shirt and soon removing it. She caressed hungrily his muscled chest.

"I prefer you to be just the way you are, Uther." She confessed in a rough voice and bit on his skin, making the king gasp. "The eager and provocative man who are just unable to hold himself if I tease you a bit." She whispered, feeling all hot.

He groaned and flipped them, keeping Morgana between the wall and his hard body. She gasped, her hands caressing his chest. Uther's hands went to her back and quickly unlaced her gown, undressing her eagerly. He looked amazed at her body.

"Tonight I'll have to explain why the queen isn't having dinner with the rest of us." He provoked. "Because when I'm finished with you, Morgana, all you'll be able to do is lie on the bed and have some sleep."

She just smashed their lips together, she couldn't resist him a second more! His hand was caressing her thigh, her bottom, her already flat abdomen, going up and up to her sides, her breasts... some milk poured as he squeezed them, making Morgana moan. She smiled and took a drop of milk on her finger, tasting it. The sight of Morgana tasting her own milk was too much for him!

"Since she was born I'm eager for tasting it!" He confessed looking at her full breasts.

"Why didn't you?" She smirked. "I would never say no... Oh!" He sucked so hard! "U-Uther!" Her hands were instantly on his head, pulling his hair teasingly. One of her legs wrapped around his body by its own will.

Uther's hands went to Morgana's hips and forced her up, so she could wrap both her long legs around his body. She couldn't help but grind against his erection.

"Please, Uther, please..." She asked between gasps and moans.

"Please what, my dear?" He faced her with a grin.

"I-I need you now, Uther!" She moved suggestively, all blushed. Sweet!

"I haven't finished!" He took her other breast and sucked it in the same hard way, licking teasingly her nipple while all Morgana could do was scream and move her hips deliciously against him.

When his mouth arrived at that sensitive spot on Morgana's collarbone, Uther freed his erection and positioned it. He looked at her face. Morgana had her eyes closed once again.

"Look at me!" He commanded once again, smirking as she opened her eyes slowly, her eyelids heavy with desire. "I want to look in your eyes while I make love to you."

However, as he entered, Morgana's eyes were closed again while she groaned and her head fell back. He gave her a moment, always kissing and sucking her collar bone. As her eyes were opened again, Uther started his movements, his pace increasing.

"Harder!" She demanded.

"So be it!" Uther increased his pace, both of them groaning.

"Oh! Uther... Uther!" She screamed.

"Let it come!" He wouldn't be able to hold his climax for much longer.

As she came, moaning and twitching into his arms, Uther came too, both of them so hard. As they were finished, Morgana could still feel an occasional throb inside her.

"Look at me." This time he asked it in a gentler voice.

As she did as she was told, Uther kissed her, licking and caressing her lips with his tongue. He walked to bed with Morgana still on his arms. As they lay on the bed, She went to him and gave Uther a provoking kiss.

"You know, it was great, but I'm still feeling hot, Uther..." She told him after some moments.

"Oh!" He looked surprised at her. "Then maybe I should solve it for you, Morgana..." He kissed her, and Morgana insinuated her tongue, begging for a little fun with his.

Uther's hand went to her hips teasingly. Yes, that would be a delicious and tiring afternoon.

Gwen smiled as she saw Arthur and Merlin entering the prince's chambers.

"Look who's back!" Arthur said playfully.

"Sshh!" Gwen said agitatedly and pointed to the bed.

They both smiled as they saw the baby peacefully sleeping in the middle of Arthur's bed, between two pillows, so she wouldn't roll and fall. Despite of Arthur's animated voice, Vivienne had just moaned and moved her little legs a bit.

"Oh, a little princess' sleeping!" The prince whispered with a smile.

"Yes." Gwen whispered back, tapping softly the baby's back and calming her.

As Vivienne was peacefully sleeping again, the three of them went to the table and started talking in a very low voice.

"The dragon gave us such an obvious suggestion!" Arthur said.

"Maybe it's obvious..." Merlin said. "But none of us had thought about using Excalibur to break the ruby."

"I understand breaking it is really necessary, your uncle and all..." Gwen said. "But I can't stop myself of feeling sorry for Morgause!" Arthur looked at her in shock. "Come on, she loves him!"

"No, she doesn't." Arthur said shocked. "She just wants him to be her pet. She wants to have power over him." He remembered that afternoon in the hovel. "God, I feel sorry for him!"

"I think they both will suffer in some way." Gwen said. "What do you think, Merlin? You're so quiet today..."

"In my opinion she really loves him. I know, enchanting him for love was wrong." He added as Arthur was about to protest. "But she doesn't know how to deal with that. She has never known true love." Arthur rolled his eyes at that. "I'm serious! Well, maybe she wants something else from your uncle, not only love, but we can deny they have feelings for each other." He sighed. "Anyway, they'll both suffer."

"Merlin, you're indeed a girl!" Arthur said a bit louder, making the baby moan again and again. And soon she started crying. "Oh no!" He lamented as he received an accusing gaze from Gwen.

She was about to get up to see the baby when Arthur signalled her to stay. The prince got up and walked to his bed.

"Oh, my lovely sister... don't cry." He said caressing her but keeping her on the bed.

"Take her, Arthur... Or she won't stop." Merlin smiled as he took the baby in a very clumsy way.

"Cradle her to your chest." Gwen said.

"Oh, she's so small!" He was always so surprised when taking the baby girl!

"Tap her back, she kind of likes it." Merlin said, receiving an amused gaze from Arthur.

"Come on, Vivienne, stop crying... a girl so beautiful like you shouldn't be crying..." He tried to calm her. "I know we awaked you, Merlin's an idiot!"

"Me?" He said outraged, amusing Gwen.

"Come on, I know you want your parents, but now they're having some adult fun, sweet, we can't go there..." The prince continued, a bit desperate because it wasn't working.

"Give me her, Arthur." Gwen took the baby and, in some more moments she was calmer. "Here you are!" She wiped away the tears from her delicate face.

As Vivienne looked around and saw Merlin, she smiled excitedly and tried to reach him with her little arms.

"Here, Merlin, she loves you!" Gwen gave the baby to her friend.

Vivienne giggled as Merlin held her with a smile.

"Oh, and now let's give little Vivienne her favourite toy to keep her calm." Arthur said smirking. "Merlin's ears!" He said as the baby started toying with them again.

"Agravaine?" Her voice was excited. The woman never gets tired?

"Hum?" His moan came from her side. Agravaine's hand was possessively around her body, keeping her on bed.

"It seems we won't leave this bed for a while..." She smiled.

"Do you regret it?" He looked at her with a grin.

"Well, no." She smiled at him. "But we must talk."

"So late at night, Morgause?" He sounded curious even so. Fascinated.

"We need a plan, Agravaine." She told him once again. "That's why we're living in this hovel, right?"

"We could just go to the south... or to the north, if you like... or to hell, I don't care since I have you with me." He said, making the lady smile. Who would say Agravaine could be sweet? More than that, who would say Morgause could like it?

"Look, I have an idea."

"You think quickly."

"Oh, you helped me, milord." She passed her index on his lip, moaning when he sucked it. "You know, when you held me so roughly at the bed, I couldn't move!" He smirked at her shocked comment. "And for a second I wondered... why not do the same to Uther?"

He looked almost in panic.

"Don't be silly, Agravaine!" She rolled her eyes, knowing what he had understood.

"For a moment I thought you wanted him to join us!" He joked, but sounded relieved even so.

"I mean, let's take him against his will... kidnap him." Morgause said darkly.

"Brilliant!" He said, noticing her eyes were bright. "By the way, I knew you wanted me to take you..." He remembered their hot time of sex. "What about your sister?"

"Morgana will be fine." She chuckled. "She thinks I went to Cornwall."

"Oh, what a lady from the north would be doing in Cornwall?" He teased.

"Looking for a hot man to satisfy me completely." She straddled him.

They wouldn't leave the bed too soon...

Merlin was sat at the table, having a quick breakfast. He was late. As usual.

"Eat slower, son." Hunith reprehended him.

He ate some more bread and said some words that sounded like "I can't, I'm late." Or something.

"Merlin, you really should allow me to go." Kevin insisted for the hundredth.

"Too dangerous!" Merlin said just before eat some more food.

"Oh, come on!" The little boy insisted.

"He's right, son." Mr Johnson said.

"Moreover, I have a special task for you today." Gaius said.

"Really?" He was excited.

"Yes. You're going to help me with some potions. We have to keep them in stock." Gaius declared.

That was when someone knocked.

"Come in!" Gaius said and Arthur entered.

"Good morning." The prince said. "Still eating, Merlin?" He joked.

"I've almost finished!" He said drinking some milk.

"Oh, come on, we'll have lunch as soon as we're back to Camelot!" Arthur rolled his eyes. "Now let's go! Excalibur is waiting for us!"

Merlin got up and followed Arthur, not before taking an apple with him.

"Take care, you both." Hunith said as they went to the door.

"We'll." Arthur said as Merlin was still eating.

Excalibur was placed in the woods, near of Camelot. During the last year, its story reached all the Britain. The story about how the king of Camelot finally accepted magic and how the special sword helped him to save his beloved lady and protect his kingdom. As usually happens when a story is repeated many times, more or less one year after it had happened, it had many versions, some of them quite fun, just like the one in which Merlin himself had breathed the sword away after choking on the king's soup. Some versions were a bit more realistic and even romantic, like the one in which Uther had executed his last sorcerer in order to save a sorceress with who he had fallen in love with, Lady Morgana. Many poets sing the love between the king and the witch, the great gifts of Merlin and Arthur's unbeatable courage. Anyway, whatever version you like, the fact is, many people use to visit Camelot since then. They had to see the legend with their own eyes. They had to take a look at Arthur and the knights forming, at the king and the queen during an official speech or during one of their frequent walks at the village, they had to see Merlin using magic and, of course, they had to see by themselves the mysterious sword in the stone.

Merlin and Arthur arrived early at the place where Excalibur was, before the first curious could arrive.

"Here is it!" Now let me take it and we go back to Camelot and do what we must do!" Arthur said walking to the stone.

"Arthur..." Merlin remembered a little but crucial detail.

"Not now, Merlin, just a moment." He rolled his eyes. Merlin had the gift of spoiling the moment!

However, when Arthur put his hand around the sword hilt and pulled, it didn't come! He tried again, harder... and harder... and even harder. And Excalibur hadn't moved an only inch. Merlin just laughed hard.

So? What do you think? Your reviews are the only way I can know if it's nice or what I should improve. Please, help me with that. =)

Oh, next one we have some new emotions here...

Have a great weekend!
