Chapter Thirty One: Stressing
When she had finished cleaning herself, Regan stood in the doorway, staring at her slumbering husband. She cringed at the word, not sure what she should do next. If she went to bed, she would wake up the next morning the object of Lucius's desire. If she went somewhere else, he would just come and find her. She just couldn't escape him no matter what she did. She longed for the day when she could leave this place forever; Regan would never come back. For a moment, she wondered if she could convince Draco to burn the place down, but figured that was a question for later.
Regan finally grew tired, despite her best efforts to stay awake. She sequestered herself to the reading area beside the large fireplace. Just in case Lucius grew suspicious, she pulled out a book and turned to a random page, resting it on her stomach after she had snuggled into the chair. It was then that she allowed herself to sleep despite the fact that she was actually rather uncomfortable. She slept soundly, warmed by the dying fire beside her. When she awoke, she was actually surprised to see that Lucius was not in the bed. She let the book fall to the floor as she sat up, blinking a few times to wake herself up. She couldn't hear him in the bathroom; he must have just let her sleep.
What time was it?
There was a quick knock at the door and without permission Mrs. Harvey opened the door with a tray floating beside her that carried her meal.
"Oh good, you're awake." She bustled into the room, the tray following obediently behind her. "I've brought you breakfast…or in your case, lunch." Regan watched the tray settle on the table beside her as Mrs. Harvey pulled out her wand and in the blink of an eye had the bed made.
"What time is it?" Regan asked, the smell of the food making her stomach tighten in hunger.
"It's almost two in the afternoon." Mrs. Harvey replied cheerfully. Regan's eyes widened as she mentally rolled her eyes.
Why had she slept so late?
"Poor Master Malfoy, he's so worried about you." Mrs. Harvey said as if trying to make conversation.
"Why?" Regan asked as she pushed back her hair.
"He's worried that you're stressing too much about having a baby. That's why he let you sleep; he wants you to relax." Regan cringed as Mrs. Harvey continued to straighten the room. Regan couldn't just let him wander around and do work. While it disgusted her, she had to keep Lucius's attention.
Fuck this was hard!
"Mrs. Harvey, where is Lucius?" Regan asked as she stood and ignored the food.
"Master Malfoy is in his study, on a conference call with officials in Italy I believe." She answered with a small smile. Regan nodded, disappearing into her closet and changing into a deep green silk nightgown that she had yet to wear, and with good reason. It was made of lace and was completely see through, something that would surely prove to be distracting. She put on a short black robe and emerged to find the room completely spotless. Mrs. Harvey was just emerging from the bathroom, offering her a curt nod.
"Mrs. Harvey, I want you to instruct the cook to make Lucius's favorite meal; we will be dining privately tonight. I also want you to tell all of the servants that Lucius and I are not to be disturbed unless we ring for assistance. Is that understood?" Mrs. Harvey instantly nodded, dropping slightly with a curtsy.
"Of course, right away Mistress." She quickly left, not bothering to take the tray with her. Regan checked her face in the mirror, brushing her teeth before slipping out of the room. She went straight to Lucius's office, only one thing in mind when she opened the door. She was glad to see that he was alone, busily scribbling notes as he spoke on the phone. He looked at her when she shut the door, smiling at her as she stepped inside.
"Yes, safety can be guaranteed upon you signing the treaty." Lucius said as Regan crossed his office and walked around his desk. He watched her intently as she plucked the quill from his hand and forced him to sit back away from his desk. As the man on the other side of the phone continued to talk, Regan situated herself between Lucius and his desk and she slowly removed her robe, letting it fall to the floor. Lucius sucked in a sharp breath, his eyes traveling across her practically exposed body. Still, he continued on with his phone call despite the obvious desire pressing against his black dress pants.
With trembling fingers, Regan slowly pulled up the snug nightgown to reveal the most private part of her body, kept completely shaved, just like Lucius liked it. Lucius's eyes locked with the smooth curve, licking his lips as he reached down and released his erection. While keeping the phone to his ear, Lucius began to stroke himself as he kept his gaze on the apex between her thighs. Regan sat on the edge of his desk, spreading her legs to allow him a better view of her smooth sex. Lucius abandoned his stroking and instead reached out to gently cup the smooth flesh. Regan gently whimpered as his fingers moved across her small clit, her body reacting and slowly becoming wet for him. He slid his middle finger in, smirking when she clenched around him and moved with his finger. He added a second finger, keeping pace with her rolling hips as she leaned her head back with a throaty groan.
Lucius wheeled his chair close, his thumb pressing against her clit and rubbing it gently as he continued to thrust inside of her. Regan squeezed her eyes shut, her breaths coming in short pants as she shook her hips.
It had never felt this good; why did it feel so good this time?
Scooting his chair further forward, Lucius positioned himself so that the head of his cock was positioned right at her entrance. When Regan felt him start to go harder, she bit down hard on her lower lip and gripped the edge of the desk. She was amazed that Lucius could continue his conversation with the man on the phone, but her thoughts suddenly changed when Lucius withdrew his fingers from her. She lazily opened her eyes to see him licking his fingers clean, his eyes gleaming with lust.
"Pardon me, signore, but I'm going to have to call you back. Something just landed on my desk that needs my full attention." He put the receiver down, a smirk playing across his lips. "You just couldn't wait for me to fuck you, could you?" Regan could only pant, staring at him with wide eyes. Lucius chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "Well, if you want it, and I can see that you do, then you'll need to come and get it." Regan hesitated, not really sure what she should do. Her body felt as if it were on fire and she desperately wanted it to stop.
"What do you want me to do?" She timidly asked, her cheeks flashing a bright red.
"Ride me," Lucius told her, his voice suddenly raw with intense arousal. He pulled her onto his chair, her knees straddling his thighs as the head of his erection rubbed against her wet entrance. He yanked down her top to expose her breasts, pressing a hand against her back to bring an exposed peak into his awaiting mouth. He toyed with her breasts and rubbed the head of his cock up and down her entrance, teasing her until she couldn't stand it.
"Please…" Her voice came out with such desire that it made her shudder.
What had she become?
"Please what pet?" Lucius asked, his lips skimming across the underside of her breast.
"I don't want to say it…don't make me say it…"
God, she was an animal...
"Well how can I help you if I don't know what you want?" He asked playfully. "Say what you want pet…tell me what you want."
Regan was shaking as she fought against her clouded mind to have some sort of clarity. She was losing her courage and was overwhelmed by her increasing embarrassment. Lucius gently rubbed her sides, sensing how uncomfortable she was.
"Sit on the desk," he quietly murmured as he adjusted her nightgown to cover herself. She moved away from him and seated herself comfortably as Lucius stood, tucking his dying erection back into his pants. Regan couldn't believe how disappointed she was with herself. She had made a move on Lucius and she had actually enjoyed his touches.
She was a monster…
"Don't be upset," Lucius said as he attempted to comfort her. "Not everybody can be openly sexual; it's not a natural trait in everybody. But you tried, and I love that you tried to be sexy for me…but you don't need to try. I already find you incredibly sexy." Regan's stomach cringed as Lucius kissed her. She made a mental note to never tell anybody what she and Lucius had done.
"I really tried," she muttered sadly.
"I know, and you did so well." He said, encouraging a smile from her. "We can do this again tonight…we can even turn the lights off." He gently kissed her, making Regan sigh. "All right?" Regan nodded, forcing a small smile.
"I've asked Mrs. Harvey to prepare a special dinner for us…just us." Lucius's eyes lit up, a smile instantly on his face.
"What a clever wife I have," he mused happily to himself. "Well, a special dinner deserves a special dress." Lucius picked up her robe and gently draped it over her shoulders. "Go get ready, I want to take you shopping."
"Don't you have work?" Regan asked as she pulled on the robe and tied it around her waist.
"It can wait," he assured her. "You did something nice for me, now I want to do something nice for you."
…
"My goodness, you are stunning." Regan forced a smile as Lucius pulled her into his arms and kissed her. Shopping with him had been awkward for her, but on the outside she just smiled and allowed him to dress her in whatever he wanted. At first he had been risqué, dressing her in backless dresses and short things that showed off her legs.
She hated it, but just kept a smile on her face and acted as if nothing was wrong.
Finally, Lucius settled on a black velvet dress that was almost an exact replica of her wedding dress. For some reason, it cost a small fortune, but Lucius was happy to pay it. Later that evening, Regan got dressed, pinning up her hair and meeting Lucius out on the veranda overlooking the gardens. He kissed her, smirking against her lips.
"You know, I get told every day at work that I am so lucky to have such a pretty wife."
"And you are," Regan insisted as he pulled her chair out and pushed it in when she sat. He sat across from her and their dinners were quickly brought as Mr. Harvey began to pour the wine.
"No wine for her," Lucius quickly told him when he went to Regan's glass. "Just in case." Regan smiled, taking a sip of water. It was pathetic how hopeful he was that she was pregnant. "We have reason to celebrate tonight." Lucius proclaimed, pulling her from her musings.
"All right, what are we celebrating?" She asked.
"Progress is finally being made with Italy." Lucius said with great relief in his voice. Regan's stomach clenched.
Oh God, she had failed in keeping him distracted.
"And once we get Italy's support, Austria and Germany won't be far behind."
"Does this mean that you'll be traveling?" She asked hesitantly. Lucius sighed before taking a sip of wine.
"I have no choice; this has to be done to further our cause." He quickly smiled. "But you will be coming with me." Regan's eyebrows shot up, her jaw dropping as Lucius chuckled at her reaction. "I know that you really haven't had the chance to travel…does this make you happy?"
"Of course!" She quickly answered. "Are you sure that I won't be too distracting?"
"Never," Lucius insisted. "I want you with me; this is a victory for both of us. And…people will want to see you. I don't know if you're aware, but you've become quite popular." Regan smiled.
"I had no idea." She said, faking embarrassment.
"Oh yes, after the wedding, women find you to be an icon." He smirked, leaning back in his seat. "And wouldn't it be grand if we were able to announce your pregnancy?" Regan squirmed, but forced herself to smile.
"Yes, it would be wonderful."

A/N: Sorry that this is a day late. I've been really overwhelmed with moving; I still haven't found an apartment and I need to be down there like next week...so it's a little scary. Again, I'm very sorry that this is late.
Dragoon Dave: Yeah, developments, that's kind of the whole point, right?
