Lady In Red

27

.

That lunch was quite, awkward. I could sense the disapproval from the elders except from the sisters of the king, I walked with a heavy heart to my chambers. I didn't quite understand why I was hated so much. It wasn't my choice to be in this position Nor did I ask for it.

As we walked past the courtroom with Clara behind me. I stare at the hallway leading to the King's library. I contemplate long enough before walking past it. I wanted to see him. I wanted to talk to him, perhaps because I felt attached to him. He gave me the warmth I wanted. He respected me, which I could see most of the court refusing to do. I can understand, I was the stranger in this Kingdom.

"Lydia, It's so tough, I rather be locked than face them."

"You will get through it madam I know it."

I was far too engrossed staring at the garden before, waiting for my tea, that I never noticed him enter the premises of that balcony. It was his faint presence that I sensed before I realized the king was right behind me. I froze still for a second as my heart gave one beat louder than others and my stomach flips reminding me of what he did to me last night.

Then this morning....

~

My embarrassed face had a tint of red as I woke up with a heavy head over his body. All naked, our skins touching. I could feel the light hair of his body on me as he held me tight. My hair was a mess of curls, my hand over his shoulder and my leg over his torso. I would burn if I slept anymore next to him. He was that warm.

When I opened my eyes I panicked trying to move away from him. I had to lift his heavy arms off my back and slowly sit up only for my body to give in and I fell back on the bed with my heavy head in pain. Then I heard him take a large breath before moving to sleep on his back. It only made me feel a flutter. When I kept staring his eyes opened. I felt my heart drop as I look away before he grabbed me and pinned me between his arms, his big head on my stomach and his hands wandering to my breasts.

"Y-Your Majesty -"

I cried out in that slight pain as he squeezed my right breast tight. So tight it hurt. He grunts, his mere voice sending me falling to the pit of a fall and my body shudders at his disapproval.

"X-Xerxes.." I correct myself and his hand loosens over me. I pout at my poor breasts being played with like some squishy toys. Yes, it felt good, yes I was wet like a pond. Yes, I found him very arousing when he did that. But my breasts were sensitive. Sore as a result of sleeping on them through the whole night and it hurt when he held them so roughly.

"Yes," That wasn't a question or just a mere response to me. That was the voice of approval. Even getting his attention was as dangerous as looking at the lion.

I shrieked as we heard a loud knock twice on those huge doors. He seemed amused at me as I jumped. I was embarrassed. There stood the butler waiting for his Majesty so he could be ready and here he was, naked, on me. Busy with something else.

I bite my lip as he bites me. I gasp pushing on his head but he didn't budge. Instead, my fingers curled in his hair and pulled them slightly feeling pain and pleasure as he continued his assault on my chest. When he finally pulled away, his lips suddenly curled up in an evil smirk.

I couldn't understand his amused expression while he stood up. His naked body glowed in the light sunlight peeking through the white curtains.

He ran his hand through his hair as I sat up pulling the sheets over me just enough to cover myself.

"Do not wander too far from this wing of the castle Ruby. Keep Clara close as possible. "

I stare into his eyes as his fingers lift up my jaw and I gulp nodding.

"Answer me, Ruby"

Oh... How I love hearing that from his lips.

"I will"

"Good girl"

My eyes fluttered when he kissed my cheek and left. That morning was filled with emotions. And I could help feel bubbly inside. Although my heart clenched a bit when he left.

And for the rest of the day, I spent with Clara. I felt at ease. Till now as I sat on the balcony. His footsteps came right behind me.

I dared to look behind me. And there he was standing in all his glory. I gulp standing up immediately and bowing slightly.

I see his eyes slowly fall down and then lift up my body as he walks towards me.

And suddenly, all the guards and my ladies-in-waiting were gone. Leaving us alone.

"Good afternoon your Majesty" I whispered not wanting to stay quiet and seem rude.

"You saw the castle grounds " He states lifting up my face with his fingers on my chin and I nodded.

"Good. You shall start your duties tomorrow. I'll have someone lend a hand if you wish. Any one of your choice"

I shook my head, "Anyone appointed by Your Majesty will be good enough"

He chuckled sitting on the couch before me. He sighs spreading his legs a bit more and then patting his left leg looking at me.

I bite my lip and look around before hesitantly sitting on his lap.

He kept his hands on the head of the couch and other on the end arm while I fidget with my dress staring down.

"How do they treat you. Your maids? "

"Very good"

"How is Clara? "

I glanced at him once before looking down, " Very stern and discipline. I like her. She seemed very strong"

" Glad to hear that. "

We hear the doors open and I immediately stand up to see Lydia and Maya carrying two trays of food and tea when his arm shoots up and grabs mine bringing me down back on his lap yet again.

I gasp as I jerk back into his arms but my butt lands on the couch and my legs over his thigh and hang between his legs.

He sighs in disappointment looking away as I feel that embarrassment washing over me again.

"What do I do with your Ruby"

He mutters as Lydia and Maya place the tray and serve us tea and biscuits.

Me sitting with my hand on either sides of my body and my legs dangling on his.

While he threw his head back and closed his eyes.

I watch them leave and close the door before I sigh. Moving my legs off him slowly but his hand stops.

"You are gonna sit like this till I leave now"

Noooo....

I frown as his hand wraps around my waist while he leans in and takes his tea cup. Taking a sip and acting as if nothing happen.

While I sit there contemplating my life.

"I am sorry" I say as he keeps the tea cup back and leans back on the couch. His eyes definitely on me.

He says nothing. It just made me angry.

It wasn't my fault! I was sitting on his lap! He was the king! What would people think if they saw us like that!? And I know very well maids are. They are the sweetest women and best gossip ladys behind the big doors.

I pout staring at him as he had closed his eyes and leaned completely back on on the couch.

Pulling my lips in before I slowly lifted my legs off him. I knew he was awake. But he didn't do anything.

I gulp looking at the door and slowly pulling my dress up. When I placed my hand over his should he opened his eyes seeing me straddle him.

I clear my throat as his eyes open wide seeing me over his lap and my hands drop to his torso. So does my head.

"I am embarrassed of being intimate before them. I do not like gossip. "

I gasp feeling his hands on my bare skin. Inching up my thighs and stopping right at my bum. I shiver under his stare as he squeezed me.

"I don't think you are in a position to be embarrassed Ruby. Not when You are with me. And Not under my watch. "

I tilt my head to my side as his lips tickle my ear. His words hit my deepest core.

"You are my Queen. So let them see how you belong to me"

I moan as he kisses my neck and his one hand moves up from my waist to my chest. Pulling my neckline down and biting my chest yet again.

"No no.... We are outside... " I stutter and struggle to get my words out as he continues causing a havoc on my poor nerves by kissing every inch of me that was expose to him.

He stopped pulling up my neckline while my hands rest over his bicep. Watching him cover my cleavage and fixing my hair.

My heart fell as he looked into my eyes. My stomach clenched as he kiss me aofy before biting my lower lip. It made me cry out and pull away feeling the longing touch on his teeth on mine.

"I need to go."

He said pulling my hair to a side and kissing my neck. I almost grind on hais manhood feeling something pulsate down there.

He effortlessly stood up with me still on him and let's me down.

My dress falling to the sides and now a bit crumpled. I was straightening the dress. Avoiding his gaze. Already blushing like a cherry when he grabbed my jaw and forced me to look up to him.

"Don't wait on me for dinner. Yes?"

"Yes sir" Like an instinct I responded.

And he smirked pecking me, " Good girl. "
