Author Note: I'm moving across the country so it maybe a while before I post an update.

Aurora

For the first time in my life I didn't want to get out of bed. There was a strange throbbing in my loins but i didn't care all I could think about was the wonderful feeling that I felt from the incredible man who was holding me in his arms. I've never felt so giddy. I knew it was inappropriate but it felt so right. We were so perfect together. Fire and ice. I blushed.
"oh so you are awake." I looked up into his wonderful eyes and I never felt so loved.
"good evening," I giggled kissing his nose. He smiled.
"so babe," he cooed, "was that the first time you ever experience something like that?" I bashfully nodded and kissed me. "well your in for a real treat tonight, your an honored guest and there is going to be a lot to celebrate." we both sat up.
"a guest where Jack?" I was puzzled by his words I felt like he wanted to tell me so much, but didn't know what to say first. "I've been a guest here for a week, why would there be celebrating?"
"oh right sorry, ummm well I think it's best if we go to the Winter Clouds tonight where it will be safer."
"oh..." I felt saddened by the news. I new we would have to leave sooner or later but I guess I had been hoping to stay longer. But after what had happened yesterday, I understood the reasoning.
"but don't worry babe your going to love the Winter Clouds.
"babe?" I had never been called that before, I had heard human males call their females that.
"yeah..." he rubbed the back of his head the way i had come to know that he felt awkward. "it's just a pet name, I'll try and not call you it if you don't like it."
"that's all right," I put my hand on his, "I like it, it sounds like I'm only yours." he beamed at that, and kissed me.
"I'm telling you your truly going to be pampered like a princess." he climbed out of bed and i marveled at his shirtless body. He was very well built, broad shoulders, a very muscular torso and strong arms to match. It was no wonder Jessica had called him a lady's man, I could see why. Besides the physical attraction between each other we were connected in another way, I was still trying to understand it but I knew now that I couldn't live with out him. He had already saved my life twice and I was eternally grateful. I then realized just how pale he was, almost like death itself, Like he had frozen to death. And then a thought popped into my head, if jacks mother had been human could jack have died? Is that why he is so pale? And just how old was he? For all I knew he could have been in his twenties in human years. The thoughts saddened me, I really didn't know anything about jack, and yet i had shared personal things with him.
"aurora, babe whats wrong?" he knelt down before me.
"jack, I want to know more about you."
"ok, why so suddenly?"
"well you know about me and my past, I just want to know about you and yours."
"is that all what do you want to know?"
"well first how are you able to travel between domains? Usually entities stick to one, the water, the earth or the sky. So how are you able to travel between both?"
"well.." his face became very serious and saddening. "my mother being human allows me to travel between domains, it's also why I have skin instead of being made of ice or snow." I held his hand in mine gently running my fingers over his knuckles. "anything else?"
"yes... Well...umm... How old are you exactly." I looked up at him and he started to laugh. My face became flushed and red, "what!? I asked you a serious question!"
"do you think I'm human?" I pouted and glared at him.
"I know your not.."
"well your highness I think you will be pleased to know that I am 24,000 in human years."
"oh!" he had his hands on either side of me so that he was able to support himself as he leaned over me.
"what am I to young for you?" he teased.
"actually your older than me." I blushed and brushing my hair in front of my face to hide my embarrassment. "I guess that means You have more experience with things..." I looked at him through my hair, he was staring intensely at me. He lunged at me, pushing me against the bed.
Jack lay on top of me, still resting on his arms. My hands were splayed against his muscular torso. Our eyes were locked with each others. His face was almost unreadable, so cool and collected. But i on the other hand was a red glowing beacon of heated tension, I should not have said that.
"jack I..."
"shhh... It's ok. I just want to say that something's in my past are too painful to bring up. I would much rather focus on the present and future I have with you."
"I'm sorry jack, I didn't mean to push you. I just don't want ghosts from our pasts haunting us."
"besides the nightmare king what kind of ghosts do you have?" my entire body went stiff and I turned away from him and no longer touched him.
"I... I was once engaged..." I mumbled. He got off me and stood in shock. There was a hurt look in his eyes. I sat up and pulled my legs against my chest as my protective barrier. "it was when I was younger it was an arranged marriage to a prince in hopes of uniting our kingdoms."
"please tell me your not..."
"no... I didn't know him very well but he went to war against Deimos and was killed."
"I'm sorry."
"it's just another thing haunting my past. So what about you?"
"what about me?"
"please jack I want to know more about you so I don't feel like just a fling."
"don't ever think of yourself as just a fling." he wrapped his hands around me. "all i can really say about my past is that my mother is gone, I once fell in love with a human and tried to get her to love me, she broke my heart and well... There are some people in the winter clouds who are just cold as ice." he pulled me on to his lap. "but you..."
"me?..."
"you... Ug it's hard to describe but you make me feel warm. Like I'm not such a cold person."
"well you are Jack Frost. Who else are you suppose to be?"
"yours.." our lips collided with passion. Until there was a knock on the door. Jack sat me back on the bed. I watched as he answered the door and began talking quietly to someone. I traced my fingers across my chest remembering last night. Then I realized I no longer had my necklace. That was the only source of power I had for the time being, and I began frantically looking for it. nearly turning the bed upside down.
"what are you doing?" I turned to face jack.
"my necklace is gone! Did Deimos take it? He will probably use it against me. I will be completely useless with out it until i get home. Deimos is probably planning an attack..."heard him chuckle. "and what is so funny?" I glared at him.
"you. You tend to over think things." he reached into his pocket and presented the necklace, while i stood stunned. "see Deimos never took it, I took it off you for the bath. Everything is fine, so just relax babe." he put his hands around my neck and placed the necklace on me.
"jack... Will you help me relax?"
"of course I will" he pulled me into a hug.
"I really do tend to over think things. I don't know why, I guess it's fear that something is wrong." we just stood there my head resting against his neck. I could hear his heart beating rhythmically. It was so soothing. He really did have a way of helping me relax. "jack..."
"yes babe?"
"will you promise me something?"
"anything just name it."
"will you promise not to keep things from me."
"why do you say that."
"well I got really worried about your past and about the necklace. I just don't want to over think things again."
"aurora," he lifted my chin up. "I have nothing to hide from you, I promise." I smiled up at him.
"I trust you."
"now let's get you dressed, it's already the beginning of December and the Clauses don't have a lot of time for long good byes."

I was tucked under Jack's strong arm against his soft sweater as he carried me up to the winter clouds. He had been right the Clauses really didn't have time for long goodbyes. It felt like too short of a goodbye and I really didn't want to go.
Jessica had made me a 2 wonderful new dress. One was a roman style silk dresses embellished with small crystals and frost like lace.
The other, which Jack had insisted I wear, was crystal-blue, off the shoulder with snowflake crystals and a knee-high slit, a crystalized bodice and translucent powder blue sleeves. She had even cleaned the cloak she had made me. She was a wonderful woman and I wish I could be more like her.
"are you still sad that we left?" he asked. I looked up at him from behind the hood of my cloak.
"of course i am but why do you ask?"
"your not glowing anymore."
"you told me not to, because it would draw attention to us."
"I know, I just like how your able to shine." I blushed and smiled. "see like that, your starting to glow again. It makes you even more beautiful." my arms were already wrapped around his neck, I just pulled myself in closer to kiss him. "aurora, look."
I looked to where he was pointing his crook. There it was, the winter clouds. It was like a industrial city made of snow and ice.
"jack it's incredible!" I gasped. I could feel him smiling at me as I stared in awe.
We landed on the clouds and immediately a wave of woman made of ice wearing very little clothes surrounded us chattering up a storm.
"jacks back!"
"omg is that her."
"that's the princess!
"I wish I was a princess!"
They squawked. I felt myself stiffen I had never been surrounded by this many people before. I began to grow increasingly nervous. Suddenly they all went silent. I turned to see jack raising his crook high up into the air, he had such a tremendous power over them.
"Everyone!" his voice boomed. "this is our honored guest Princess Aurora. Please make her feel at home while she visits."
"welcome to the winter clouds your majesty." they all chanted bowing.
he smiled at me and held out his arm for me to take. They all parted making a walk way for us. He led me threw. Several women giggled to one another, some whispered to each other. But there was one woman who just stared at me as if she was wishing that I was dead. I walked a little fasted until we were no longer in the crowd of people.
"uncle jack, father winters wishes to see you." I looked down and there was a beautiful girl who looked like she was a doll made of snow.
"aurora, this is holly, she is the daughter of my best friend. ( I'm not really her uncle she just calls me that)" he whispered.
"pleased to meet you." I smiled.
"welcome to the winter clouds your majesty," she curtsied.
"holly can you take Aurora to my Quarters?"
"your not coming?" I asked shyly. We had just arrived and he was already leaving.
"I have to go see my dad, but I will be there as soon as possible." he kissed my forehead and left.
"right this was your majesty." she smiled taking my hand in her cold but soft tiny hand and leading me away.
"So holly, what are the winter clouds like?"
"they are alright I guess, I'm still in school so I can't do much.
"oh there are schools here," I looked around at all the scenery and noticed that people were staring at us.
"well yeah it's a city your majesty. Come on this way." she tugged at my arm. She was quite strong for someone so small.
"holly please call me Aurora." I smile and she stopped pulling me along and just stood there staring at me still holding my hand.
"are you going to marry my uncle Jack?" I began glowing bright red. "oh cool you can change colors." she said poking at my skin.
I knelt down to her level. "what gave you that idea?"
"well he was here the other day and all he did was talk about you."
"oh he did?" I turned a shade of pink. And I saw holly oggle at.
"and your a pretty colorful lady. He should marry you. Now come on I have to go back to class to get ready for the festival."
She began leading me around again.
"what festival?"
"uncle jack and dad have set up a festival in your honor." jack was throwing me a festival. I felt butterflies in my heart. We arrived at a doorway that was guarded by two heavily armored men.
"is this her highness?" one man said.
"uh huh," said holly. "this is where you will be staying."
"thank you holly."
"bye Aurora" she turned to walk away but grabbed my leg in a tight embraced then ran off. One of the guards opened the door for me. I thanked him and entered.

I was very impressed with the entranceway and foyer. There was a fire, white roses everywhere, and the furniture look like it was made of snow. I continued threw the foyer past a kitchen. And entered a grand bedroom with a raised ceiling. I looked up into a spectacle of a chandelier made out of ice crystals. I made my way over the the magnificently large book shelf. I walked past The king sized bed was soft looking to be made of clouds and covered in a layer of snow. I was amazed at the amount of books jack had, it might have out numbered my collection. I was surprised to find that they were mostly stories about famous lovers; Pyramus and Thisbe. Tristan and Isolde, Anthony and Cleopatra, Romeo and Juliet, midsummers nights dream, Aphrodite and Adonis. Psyche and Cupid.
I was also surprised my the large collection of Arthurian literature. There was one book in particular that caught my eye, it's spine was warn and it looked very old, probably was a first addition. I picked it up and examined it. "the tail of Sir Raveneau, knight of the round table." I had never heard of him before. I flipped threw the pages.
"sir Raveneau was know as the golden knight. His armor had been forged in such a way that it had changed into the color of gold..." i wasn't to interested in reading about sir Raveneau, I was curious about why jack had this book about someone who wasn't famous and yet the book had been read so many times that it was nearly falling apart.
"what are you reading?" jack whispered in my ear while wrapping his arms around my waist to keep me from jumping.
"you scared me!" I hear him chuckle and rest his head on my shoulder.
"sir Raveneau?" he took the book out of my hand, "I haven't read this in a while."
"who is he jack? I've never read about him before."
"he was a human that I once help to defeat a tyrant by freezing a mountain." he put the book back on the shelf. "I thought you would be reading Psyche and Cupid, it reminds me so much of you." he began nibbling on my ear causing a tingling sensation to run threw out my body. I bit my lip and suppressed a moan.
"why does it remind you of me?" I said trying to keep my voice calm.
"well," he started planting feather like icy kisses on my neck and I could feel my eyes roll back into my head. "it's about a beautiful, brave and innocent girl who the mischievous Cupid falls in love with." he was now massaging my breast with one hand while caressing my thigh with the other, causing my loins to throb.
"and your Cupid?" I mumbled trying my best to resist him, as he chuckled.
"well I am devious enough," in a blink of an eye he spun me around and undid the snowflake clasped on my cloak. It pooled at my feet as we stared at each other. I couldn't stop this feeling within me this longing, no this was lust. I rapped my arms around his neck and he intern wrapped his around me. My head was nestled against his neck, and it was my turn to surprise him. I was going to do something I had never even thought of before, and it made me feel somewhat naughty. I stuck my tongue out and very slowly I traced my tongue from the collar of the sweater up behind his jawline to his ear. I felt him shutter and let out a moan. He pulled me closer so that I could feel his forming erection against my hips.
"you are full of surprises," he cooed. Lifting my chin up to meet his lips. It was a collision of fire and ice. We feel back against the bed as I lay on top of him.

We sat on the bed for awhile just talking about random things, about holly, the women that had greeted us and what he might be planning for the rest of my stay. It was nice to be physical now and then but it was sometimes nicer to just talk and have someone listen. He lay against the pillows with his knees up, and I rested against his knees sitting on my legs.
"she really is adorable." I said referring to holly again.
"yeah I cant believe how big she is getting. But it seems you too got along well."
"I believe we did." I smiled at him and then I eyes a book on the nightstand. It was thin and black and "The Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Austrialis" was the title.
"jack?" I smirked, "what's that book you've got there?" I saw his face grow red and his body became increasingly cold. He began rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. He turned to look at the book.
"oh that... Well...you see...um..." he was at a lost of words. I snacked up the book, and laid down next to him. I flipped the book open.
"oh so you were looking at pictures of me." I looked at him but he still wouldn't meet my gaze. I began flipping through the picture curiously, I never new that humans had made books about me.
"I remember this, a human was camping out for the longest time trying to get pictures of me. I put a show for them." I looked at the picture where I was making a silly face. I flipped to the next page, and my face grew red. I was naked.
"Oh no, this was taken during a new moon when my father wouldn't be out. I occasionally would do rebellious things but I never..." I looked at him, his eyes where burning into me. He took the book out of my hand and tossed it away. He straddled my hips and hovered about me. I closed my eyes and waited for his lips. I felt his hands running threw my hair, but then they were gone. I opened my eyes and he was just smiling at me.
"Jack?" I felt somewhat awkward.
"yes my lady?" he nipped at my nose teasing me. "I just wanted to give you something."
"oh and what would that be?"
"well what's a princess with out a crown?" I felt the top of my head, "go take a look for yourself." he got off of me and I walked into the bathroom. There was a headband tiara flowing gorgeously threw my braided hair. It was beautifully crafted, with snowflakes, ivy frost, and snow crystals. I saw him in the mirror.
"jack did you... Did you make this?" I was still in aw at it's beauty. He smiled and wrapped his arms around me.
"of course, you will find that I am very good at making jewelry." I kissed him. He was so very skilled, and he was always able to surprise me. There was a knock at the door.
"that must be snip here to take us to the festival." his arm was around my waist leading me to the door.
"Jack what about my cloak?"
"you don't need it. I want everyone to see just how lovely you are." he grabbed his crook and opened the door. "snip my good man." he smiled. I was really enjoying just how happy jack was, it was starting to rub off on me.
"oh.. Hello your majesty, welcome to the winter clouds." he bowed and smiled. He had the same snowy skin as his daughter, he wore a blue hat and glasses, and like everyone else had white hair. He was older than jack, and he had a very kind face.
"Aurora this is my best friend Snip." I smiled.
"it's a pleasure to meet you Mr Snip, I've heard great things about you." i curtsied.
"your majesty.."
"please call me Aurora."
"yes Aurora, if you and jack will follow me to the festival." I took hold of jacks arm as I was lead, into a grand arena. There was cheering from the crowd, as we entered. I smiled and waved. Jack led me to a table with three seats overlooking the crowd. A man with hair and a beard that looked to be made of cloud, eyes like glaciers and skin made of ice greeted us.
"Your majesty, it is an honor to have you visits your home of the winter clouds. I am Father Winter ruler of this domain, and of course you have met my son, Jackson Overland Frost." I gave jack a smirk at hearing his full name, and he rolled his eyes at me.
"it is a pleasure to be here sir." I curtsied and held out my hand for him to kiss. Jack pulled the chair out for me. As I sat all I could think of was how noble he was acting, and I was really enjoying it. Though to be honest I was hoping that he could take me back to the room and pleasure me again like he did last night. I smiled up at him. He pulled the chair out next to me to sit, but father winter sat down instead.
"oh thank you Jack," he said and jack slowly sat down on his left side. I kept glancing over at him, I had thought that I would be sitting next to him, and it somewhat hurt having someone sit between us.
Trumpets began to play and father winter stood up to make a speech, "thank you all
For joining us in welcoming our honored guest, her royal highness Princess Aurora Boreal Lunanoff." he boomed gesturing to me. I stood and everyone went quiet. All their eyes were on me and I felt paralyzed, then I saw jacks kind smile and the fear melted away.
"it is a great please to visit such a fine domain. Thank you all for your kind hospitality. You may create winter but your hearts are as warm as summer."

There was an eruption of applause and cheering. I sat back down with a sign, I was not one to make speeches. A group of children, including came forward. She looked up at me and I smiled and waved at her, and she shyly waved back. An older child came forward.
"our class has prepared a song for her majesties enjoyment." they mumbled. They all began to sing a song about snow. It was adorable. After the song was over the children ran back to their parents and I watched as holy ran to snip and her mother. They looked so proud of her and so happy together. I sighed and began daydreaming of having children. I felt something poke my leg, and looked down to see jacks crook going under father winters chair. I reached down to hold it, to feel like even though we weren't sitting next to each other that we were still connected.
"oh Jaaaaaaackkkkkk..." said a harsh voice. I let go of his crook and he jumped to his feet. He stood as if he was about to fight someone. And a woman with very little clothes on approached us. Father Winter was also standing at this point.
"go away" jack growled.
"why...?" she wined, "I only wanted to meet the princess, since your becoming so close." she glared at me. I was not liking this woman.
"know your place, Azula!" barked father winter.
"shouldn't your son know his?" she snapped, "after all he is one of them." and before I knew it I was standing in front of her my eyes blazing with anger and my skin on fire.
"How dare you talk poor of Jack!" I roared. I had lost my temper, no one spoke poorly about someone I cared about, especially jack! She took a step back but then took a swing at me. I easily caught her arm. All my rage was put into it causing her arm to melt. She shrieked. "get out of my sight" I warned and she ran off. My anger quickly faded but when I turned back jack, he and father winter were starring at me, everyone was staring at me. What have I done, I lost my temper and... And...
I heard everyone cheer. Jack wrapped his arm around my waist, I looked up blankly and he was smiling.
"jack...? What...what's happening?" I asked confused, I usually got scolded for loosing my temper.
"we love you princess!" I heard someone cheer.
"ah princess Aurora," father winter took my hand, "thank you so much."
"what exactly did I do?" I looked up at Jack.
"you stood up to the winter clouds version of Deimos," jack whispered.
"what do you mean."
"That horrible bitch has been causing us nothing but headaches, but you, you stood up to her. We are so lucky to have you here." said father winter.

Jack pushed me up against the table in his kitchen. His hands holding my hips in place as he ground his erection between my thighs. I let out a moan as he planted feather-like kisses around my necklace.
"have I hold you how sexy you are when you get angry?" he panted between kisses.
"you mentioned that at the feast" I managed to say. After the feast was over Jack rushed me back to his private quarters, to "express his feelings for me" and I was enjoying every second of it. Jack had opened me up to a new world, a passionate and lustful world. And I wanted more, I craves his icy touch against my heated skin. But mostly I wanted to return the favor of pleasuring him. I was still new to all this and I... I moaned as his hands grabbed my rear as he pulled me hard against his barley contained erection. I dug my fingers deep in to his back, twisting into the knit of his sweater. Next thing I knew he threw me on to the bed and removed his sweater revealing his bare chest. He climbed on to the bed and hovered above me.
"i still cant believe you," he said his voice getting low.
"oh and what can't you believe?" my hands began moving on their own towards the buckle of his pants.
"how fiery you can be..." in one swift movement he grabbed my hands and pinned them to the bed freezing them in place.
"your my guest," he cooed in my ear, "I'm the one pleasuring you."
"you know I can easily melt these."
"I know but where is the fun in that?" he smiled his devilish smile and pulled my skirt up above my waist. His cold lips kissed my navel. He ran his hands across my skin.
"so smooth..." our eyes met and i watched as his hand slid into my underwear. I quivered as his chilled fingers traced over my steaming folds. "so wet and warm..." his body was no longer touching me, only his fingers as they caressed me. He was teasing, and it was agonizing, I wanted to touch him, to hold him close, but mostly I wanted him to pleasure me.
"please..." I begged. He leaned in close.
"please what?" he was enjoying my yearning.
"please jack..."
"what do you want? Just say it and I will give you release."
"you! I want you..."
His fingers plunged into me, and I threw my head back and cried out his name. My body craved him. I could feel him moving inside of me, with every thrust causing me to glow a passionate pink color. I could feel my heat rise as I was neared my climax. He pulled my skirt up higher revealing my breast and bit down on my nipple. I cried out in ecstasy as he prolonged my orgasm.

I panted completely sated, as I lay down on the bed having melted the ice. Jack smile at me, as he pulled his fingers out.
"why...?" I panted.
"why what?" he said intertwining his fingers with mine.
"why do you do this to me?"
"do what?" he teased.
"damn it jack you know what I mean!" I flinched realizing that I had just cursed.
"I thought you were enjoying what I was doing." he ground his pelvis against mine, "i know I am."
"but why jack! Why are we doing this? What point does it serve?" he pause having to think.
"well at first I did it to you as a way to help you relax, help you get your mind off things." he stroked my fingers with his, bringing them up to his lips and kissing them gently. "but I must be honest, I find you to be addicting." I saw the hunger that bore in his eyes.
"what...what do you mean..?"
"the second I found you in that tree, I found you to be intoxication. Everything about you is just so hypnotic that I can't stand to be away from you." we just stared at each other, and I knew I felt the same. At first I thought he was a pompous ass but then I found myself unable to leave his side. And now I loved him.
"you still didn't answer my question."
"oh?"
"why do we do it?" he gave his mischievous smile and chuckled.
"most do it for pleasure, but with you I like to think of it as a physical way to express our love." his other hand tangled into my braid and head piece.
"just how physical are you planing to get?" I blushed.
"you will see." he smiled kissing my forehead.

My breathing had steadied and once i had changed into my nightdress, we found ourselves in our usual positions. Jack lying on the bed with me tucked under his arm. His hand traced fern ice like patterns on my back as I listened to his heart beat.
"so what do you think of the winter clouds?"
"it's wonderful here."
"yeah, I knew you would love to live here."
I felt his heart beat faster and his body chill as he grew embarrassed by his words. He rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, "what I meant to say is... If you would like to stay longer...you could... Well..um... Live here with me."
"i would love that." I smiled leaning up to kiss him. He pulled me close and our lips met in a feat of passion. I traced my fingers across the snow white hairs of his chest, And he moaned into my mouth. He took my hand and guided it down his perfectly sculpted body, placing it on his erection. I parted from his lips and looked at our hands. I felt curious yet nervous, I had never actually seen a naked man up close before. Humans weren't exactly civil. I wasn't quite sure of what I should do. During my arranged marriage, my mother had once told me that I should do what ever my husband wanted, and intern he would pleasure me. But the concept was the same do whatever jack wanted from me. I looked at him unsure what he wanted, he held my hand tighter against him. He smiled and let out a moan.
A knock on the door interrupted us.
"fuck..." jack growled, "I'll be right back" he mumbled and went to answer the door. I sat there confused, still unsure of everything. Why was I doing this? I wondered. I walked over to the dresser and took off the headdress jack had made me. He really was a kind person always thinking of me. I looked into the mirror, i didn't look the same as before, certainly much more different than last night. There was something that seemed changed. I knew I was the same person but something just seemed different. I smiled at the strange notion. I picked up jacks sweater that was on the ground and returned it to the dresser. I opened the top drawer where there were a few pairs of his underwear and shirts. I folded the sweater and placed it in the drawer. That's when I noticed a little red book. I thought it strange for jack to keep a book in his drawer, curious I picked it up and examined it. The cover was written in a southern language so I didn't understand it. The picture though was of a couple pressing there bodies together forming a heart shape. What a strange little book. I opened it and felt my face grow red as I stared at the first page. It was a picture of a naked man. What kind of book was this?! I turned to the next page a naked woman. I flipped threw the book, each page was of a naked couple and different sexual position. I quickly put the book back in the drawer hiding it under his shirts. Oh if jack had come back and seen me reading that...

I wasn't sure whom jack was talking to, but it was taking him quite a while. I decided to read the story of sir Raveneau. Laying down on The bed I began reading about the brave knight and his adventures. Then came the story of how sir Raveneau met his wife. There was a picture of the knight giving a rose to a young maiden dressed in rags. 'Sir Raveneau had traveled to a town called January Junction which was ruled by an evil tyrant.'
This was what jack had told me how he had helped him defeat the tyrant. I began reading with excitement.
'Sir Raveneau had arrived in the small town in search of someone to repair his cape, when he came across a family of tailors.' I turned the page to see a picture of jack. Why was jack in this? The picture read jack snip who lived with the family of tailors.
I heard the door open, "sorry about that my dad just wanted me...to..." I stared at him. "Babe what are you reading?"
"jack why are you in this book?" he walked over and stared at his picture. "why Jack?" he was hiding something from me even after I had asked him not to.
"babe, it's hard to explain..."
"then please explain, you said you wouldn't keep things from me!" I was growing upset did jack have a secret life that he didn't tell me about.
"before you over think things," he sat on the bed and tried to hold my hand but I pulled it way. "mrs clause told you that I had fallen in love before. Well that's her..." he turned the page and pointed at the maiden in rags.
"why didn't you just say that," my anger was turning into sympathy.
"because my father and I had agreed to secrecy over the matter since she was human. I had fallen in love with her and father winters had turned me human to allow me to be with her. But she was kidnapped by the evil tyrant of the land, and sir Raveneau rescued her but the tyrant was going to send an arm to destroy the town to get her back. So I gave up my mortality to freeze the mountain to stop the army."
"you gave up being with her to save her?" he nodded.
"she never really loved me..." I put my hand on his and smiled. "but that is my past," he held my hand "you are my future." I blushed. No wonder this little book had meant so much to him, it was about someone he had cared deeply about.
"jack." I smiled remembering some this I wanted to do, "I was wondering if I..." he held up his hand to stop me.
"I'm sorry babe but the sun is about to come up. But don't worry it's only for an hour or so, the winter equinox is in a couple of days so we can spend all the time in the world with each other." I smiled at him placing the book on the night stand and crawling under the blanket of snow. Jack pulled out the golden bag from his drawer and sprinkled the sand on me. "I'll see you when you wake up." he kissed me and went to his dresser. "hey babe where did you put my sweater?"
"top drawer...are you are you not staying?" I had gotten use to him being here with me.
"I have work I have to get done so I can be back when you get up." I felt sad by that and lay with my back to him. "but I will stay until you fall asleep. " he slid under the covers. I felt his hard as ice body press up against my back as he spooned me. He caressed my thigh.
"jack..." I mumbled feeling the dream sand taking effect. "will you tell me the story of Cupid and Psyche?" I could tell that he was smiling.
"of course..." he whispered. He began telling me the love story. His voice was so soothing to hear as I drifted of to sleep.
