To Capture a Unicorn
Rowena stayed with me a while to discuss my house, the new children who had been brought to it and then matters here.
"Salazar said you have not been going outside enough." I said, Rowena sighed and gave me an apologetic look.
"I know, I know. You know how I get with my books."
I put my hands on my hips and raised an eyebrow, Rowena giggled, "Don't do that, you look like my mother."
"Your mother has some sense, Rowena, you'll get ill if you don't get outside."
"Well let's go for a walk tomorrow then." Rowena said.
I sighed and she gave me a hug, "How have the others been, Ro?"
Rowena pursed her lips and sat back down on my bed, while I poured the heated water sitting on the fire into my bath tub.
"Godric keeps going further and further into the forest, Salazar's going crazy, he keeps having to save Godric from himself and troublesome situations he gets himself into…although, Godric did see a unicorn and I wish I had been there to see it too."
Rowena looked thoughtfully for a moment then glanced up at me, excitement easily read all over her features. She began pacing the floor very quickly and speaking rapidly. I opened my mouth to speak but Rowena had already began talking.
"You know the muggles say, and it's hard to tell whether it's from real wizarding knowledge or not; that if men enter a forest and try to capture a unicorn it will run away or even kill them, but if a virgin woman sits down amongst the trees then the unicorn will lie down in her lap…It's a pity I didn't know about such things before my marriage, but perhaps you can help me–"
"Ro…" I said, but her voice continued.
"I mean you are still a virgin, aren't you Helga?"
I felt my cheeks flame and I turned back to the bath. Rowena gave a gasp behind me and ran up to my side, her mouth an 'o' of shock and delight.
"Helga! When? Who was he? Do I know him?"
"No." I exclaimed quickly, "Um…well it was just…it was just some time ago."
Rowena nodded, then frowned, "Why didn't you tell me? We could have talked about this all night." She was practically hopping from one foot to the other. I was certain my cheeks were scarlet and I dropped my gaze to my feet. Rowena gently held my arm.
"Oh…I understand. It's fine. Did he…did he break your heart?"
"No, no…nothing like that. It's just…" I nervously licked my lips, "We both had different expectations."
I wasn't exactly sure how that covered it, but for the cleverest witch of her age, Rowena seemed to accept it without much fuss.
"Well I understand and I do hope you meet someone who will treat you admirably and love you, Helga. You deserve that at the very least."
I smiled bashfully, "Thank you, Rowena."
She grinned, "I'll let you bathe now. Sorry, I've talked far too much. I'm just so glad you're back and you know how Salazar and Godric get when you're gone. It's amazing how I managed to survive the initial beginning without you among us three." Rowena headed towards the door.
"Ro," I called and she stopped, "Don't tell Godric or Salazar about…this." I muttered.
Rowena gave me a smile and winked, "Not another word shall pass my lips."
I sighed and sank lower into the bath, could I not just pretend to be embarrassed that Rowena had brought up my virginity? I was such a useless liar…was that a bad thing or a good thing? I closed my eyes, only hearing the lapping water and the fire crackling in the fireplace. Why couldn't I have changed the subject or just said it was an interesting proposition, but I definitely had no desire to sit in the Forest and wait for a unicorn to lay its head in my lap. The Forest was always too creepy and cold, especially at night, which was when unicorns were most active. I rubbed my forehead. I was vaguely aware of hearing the lock click open, but I dismissed it as my manic thoughts whirled around my head. It was only when the door clicked shut and the bolt went back into place did I open my eyes. Salazar grinned down at me, his eyes raking all over my naked body. I scowled at him and saw him chuckle.
"Again you are defenceless." Salazar tutted. I got up from the bath, water droplets falling down my legs. I turned my back to him and pulled a sheet from the chair, wrapping it around my body and then trying to take up the angriest pose I could, while still feeling a warm flush of desire at his obvious need, the dark hunger in his eyes.
"What do you want Salazar?"
He approached me and fingered the top line of the sheet, his fingers slowly caressing the swell of my breasts. I bit my lip, desire and annoyance coursing through me, especially when Salazar's amused smile made me want to both smile foolishly and slap him in the face.
"You are so annoying." I said, though it did not sound like was irritated by him. He caught his finger in the front of my sheet and pulled me forward to kiss him. Despite my best efforts to keep the sheet around me, Salazar tugged the sheet away from me. I tried to grab it from him, but he threw it behind him and then pulled me closer to him, his warmth burning through his clothing, his hands clasping my breasts. I gave up and pressed my body against his. Letting out a little moan of desire as his fingers trailed down my waist, stroking down the damp curls between my legs.
"We have an hour before dinner." he said, I grabbed the front of his tunic bringing him back to kiss me, while undoing the ties of his jacket. Salazar picked me up and then dropped me on the bed, wrenching the tunic from his back and shoving his breeches down his legs. I was already waiting for him and he quickly plunged himself inside me, gasping as my legs wrapped around him and he began kissing my neck and breasts.
"How could you make me wait a month, Helga? A whole month." he whispered against my shoulders, tenderly biting on them till I let out a little moan.
"I'm sorry." I murmured, breathing heavily when he pulled my hips higher.
"I've dreamt about you; tasting your sweet, little cunt. Keeping you in my bed so you cannot even move by the end of the week."
I tried to speak, but all that came out of my throat was a deeply longing moan. Salazar thrust deeper and harder inside me. I curled my toes, my breath catching my throat as I felt my body shivering with pleasure on the bed and knowing it would not be long till I reached my peak.
"We have to go to dinner." I murmured, Salazar didn't reply, but kissed my forehead again. I smiled and put my hand on his chest. "Salazar?"
"Mm." he agreed with me and threaded his hands through my hair. I smiled and brought my hands up into his own hair, gripping the dark locks at the roots and pulling slightly.
"Ow, Helga." he said reproachfully, I giggled. He glanced down at me and smiled, gently stroking my lips.
"We need to go to dinner." I said again, he lowered his head and kissed me. "Aren't you hungry?" I asked.
"Yes. That's why I want to stay in bed with you." He slid down my body and pulled up my legs again, I gave a little groan of protest, but gave up when he put his head down and kissed my lower lips, before pulling them apart and tasting my inner core. I could feel my body tense again, feeling the deep pleasure building in my body.
"Do we have to do this now?" I gasped, my hand instinctively curling in his hair again, not knowing whether I meant to pull him away or keep him close. His thumb found my sensitive nub and I pushed my head back on the pillow, thrusting my hips up into his mouth. Through half closed eyes I saw him smirk and press a final closed kiss to my nether lips, before getting up.
I scowled at him, while he pulled his tunic back on. Salazar chuckled softly and pulled me into his arms.
"I'm going to keep you longing for me, all throughout dinner." he whispered.
"You can't if I'm sitting next to Rowena." I smirked
"But will you be sitting next to Rowena?"
I opened my mouth to say yes, then shut it knowing I wouldn't. Salazar sniggered. I pursed my lips, then grinned.
"I'll sit next to Godric then."
He pulled me tightly against him, arms constricting over mine and pressing his lean body against mine, I could feel him stirring again under his breeches.
"If you dare, I will think nothing of pushing him out of his chair and taking you on the table."
I shuddered with both fear and anticipation, I bit my lip and he pulled me up to kiss me, mouth hard on mine, his tongue slipping into my mouth, teeth nipping on my lips.
"Godric you will need to create a lesson plan at some point, there's no point in hoping for the best and winging it. These are children. Yes they need creativity and independence, but they also need structure. We can't be taken seriously if you…"
"Yes, all right, Rowena. Gods above, anyone would think…"
"What, that I'm wrong?"
Dinner had started out pleasantly enough, but Godric and Rowena had begun bickering over the schooling and structure of the lessons. I brought the cold glass of wine to my lips, feeling how sensitive they were against the cool glass. I surreptitiously run a finger over them; they were slightly swollen and sore from all our kissing. Yet I knew I would always want more.
"Godric, Rowena is right. Accept that and start making some plans, not everything can be left to chance." Salazar growled, Rowena looked triumphant, Godric slumped down in his seat and moodily picked at his food, "Also, seeing as Helga is back, an argument is not what should be happening at this table."
I blushed at the mention of me and then felt Salazar's fine hand skim past my leg and delve into my crotch, pressing the fabric of my dress nearer my legs, I arched my hips slightly to have his hand against my groin. Godric coughed uncomfortably and nodded.
"Apologies, Helga. Yes, we should talk of something else."
"How about the village we now intend to build near Hogwarts?" I suggested.
"Well that seems mostly yours and Rowena's idea, what do you intend?" Godric smiled encouragingly at us both. Salazar dug a little deeper into my groin and finding my clit began to rub small circles over it, I pressed my lips together to stop myself from groaning aloud.
"A place for wizards to bring and raise their families, starting or continuing their businesses." Rowena said, "Helga intends there to be an Inn and I was thinking we could allow older students to visit it at the weekends, perhaps some of the younger ones could even go in the holidays."
Godric bowed his head in agreement and took a drink from his goblet. "It cannot be like Diagon Alley."
"No, it will be similar, just smaller." I murmured.
"Well it sounds like a plan worth seeing through." Salazar said, his ministrations becoming firmer and faster. I nearly dropped my knife.
I admit it, not a lot happens in this chapter...it is mostly based on the smut variety. Thank you to my lovely reviewers and my new one isy092, always hate it when I can't thank guest reviewers through PM, so here's my thanks to you :) Your words meant so much to me and here's the new update!
