Page 74 of Her Royal Blood

“Being one,” I finished his sentence.

“Tonight though, I’d rather be a husband. And since you spent all of your energy on creating a spell to protect your kingdom forever more. I think tonight is all about you. All…about…you, in case you didn’t hear me.” Lex gave me a wicked smile and I kissed him again.

“I’m all yours,” I told him as I opened my arms to allow him to do whatever he pleased.

“Oh yes, you are,” he said as he turned me around, unsheathed my sword and then unzipped the back of my dress.

Lex then kissed his way down my spine as he stripped me of my wedding dress. I stepped out of the billowing fabric and allowed him to untie my brassiere which fell to the floor. My panties went down with the rest of the discarded clothing. He then lifted me into his arms bridal style which made me giggle and brought me to our bed.

Not wanting to be clothed while I was naked he quickly undressed until he was standing in all of his glory. I could finally marvel at him as I had always wanted. Drinking in the view, I appreciated his beauty. His cock stood hard and proud and I delighted in the thought of having only him inside of me. He kissed my lips then kissed his way down my neck over my collarbone, placed one kiss on each nipple, he made his way down my body tracing a line from my stomach to my pelvic bone. When he lifted my legs and spread them wide apart, I thought for sure he’d enter me. I was certainly slick and ready with desire but he simply stared at me as I had him.

“You are perfect,” he said before planting a kiss on the top of each thigh.

His kisses then landed on the apex of my sex and the center of my pussy. He continued to kiss his way down each of my legs to my ankles, to the heels of my feet, and to my toes making me giggle and laugh.

“What are you doing?" I asked, feeling tingly and energized.

“Marking every part of you,” he answered. “Since all of you is mine, I want to make sure that no part of you is left unbranded by my scent.”

“Oh, you really are too much.”

I loved that he wanted to claim me, because finally he could. It made me feel wanted and loved. Lex and I were now a family who would rule together and soon create our own legacy. Created by blood or by the bonds of friendship, our family would grow and prosper. By the time Lex entered me I was already his.

We woke up the next day dressed only in one another. Lex was attentive and devoted as he worshiped my body until I passed out in his arms. After experiencing a mind blowing body quaking orgasm that had him coming inside of me for what felt like forever. That's all I remembered after falling asleep in his arms. I was so tired from using magic that I slept far longer than I had hoped I would. I only awoke when Lex stirred beside me and kissed my forehead as he slipped out of the bed.

“You don’t have to get up,” he said, quietly, but I do want to help you get dressed, in case we are under attack today.”

He and I both knew that those were the precautions we had to take. I dragged my tired body out of bed and put on a fresh pair of undergarments, pants, and a tunic. I also strapped my sword to my back and stared at our bed wishing that I could get back into it.

“There’s no rest until this is over, Lex. I’ll conjure us something to eat and then we’ll meet with Bindi to strategize our defense.” I rolled my neck and slipped my arm around Lex’s waist. “I’m glad we’re doing this together.”

He kissed the top of my head and answered, “Always.”

We went downstairs and were surprised to discover that there were already servants bustling around the kitchen.

“What’s this?” I asked Halo who was dressed and collecting herbs from the piles of fresh vegetables and fruits that lined the table, waiting to be put away.

“The servants are back.” Her bright smile beamed.

“How?” I asked as our head cook shewed, Halo, Lex, and I away from the kitchen.

“Beg your pardon, your majesties, but we have breakfast to cook and food to pantry. Go sit in the dining room and we’ll bring your meal out presently.” She was a stern old thing and I was very happy for it.

As soon as we reached the dining room Bindi and Derringer were sitting at the table having coffee waiting for breakfast. There were servants about the room who were collecting plates and dusting them off, getting them ready for the morning meal.

“The servants are back,” Bindi said with a laugh. “All of them.”

“I saw that,” I said as a servant came up to me and pulled out my chair at the head of the table.

Lex was about to take the chair beside me, but a servant bowed to him and gently tapped his shoulder.

“I’m sorry, King Lex, but your place is at the head of the table.” He nodded to the far end and I laughed.

“We’ll have to amend our seating arrangements,” I teased him, but not wanting to upset our newly reinstated staff, Lex followed the servant to his seat.

“I’ll make sure to write,” he teased and then mouthed to me, ‘King Lex’ with a look of pride.

He had always wanted to be a king and now he was. That fact probably had not settled in yet, but we’d have time for him to get used to it.
