The Crown and his Queen

Chapter 11 - Gee, I Think You're Swell

Running to the restroom and showering, dressed in an over-sized sweater and short shorts, before running up to Gavin’s bedroom. Knocking on the door, but no answer.

Maylyn gathers her courage, opening the door and walking in, “Gavin?”

Closing the door behind her and walking deeper into the bedroom. He’s not in the restroom, not on the bed, not in the wardrobe, and not in the sitting area. Her eyes up the stairs and seeing door open. Climbing the stairs, seeing him on the balcony, leaning on the railing looking out to the water. Looking like her wild dirty dreams come true. She’s officially ready and she knows he can smell it. Shaking her head, can’t even fight without me being totally attracted to him.

Standing at the entrance, “Gavin, I need you to listen to my past.”

“I already know your past.”

Upset that he is being stiff and shutting her out, not to mention he knows about her past and she didn't tell him. 

Stomping over to him and pushing his body to face her. He looks at her, “Look mister, I don’t know exactly what you’re thinking, but you’re not going to treat me bad! I’m sorry you weren’t my first mate, but if you’re having second thoughts reject me now so I can go home.”

“What are you saying? You want me to reject you?” He seems to be taken back from this.

“I want you to know, no matter what Randy was in the past to me, that has nothing to do with my future with you. But I need to know now how you plan to proceed before I make the choice for you!”

He looks worried before his eyes drift back to the water. “I understand what you’re saying. But you were with him-”

“Oh geez Gavin, I didn’t even have s*x with him. If you know my past, then you know he is a dom and my parents died from that-” She takes a deep breath, “I was in underwear and a bra, my arms were tied to something above my head.” 

Rubbing her ears, not wanting to say and relive what she hated so much; “He blind folded me and started to-” Grabbing her courage, “He hit me, it was so painful emotional because of my parents and physically! All I did was cry. He untied me, and I didn’t see him for days before he rejected me. If you think I’m lying, go and talk to him. But right now, I’m-I can’t.”

Sighing big and turning to leave the room. Walking down the stairs, opening the door, stepping out, and closing the door behind her. 

Breathing, eyes closed, and leaning against the door; “Are you okay May?”

Eyes shooting open, “Trent?”

He nods, “Yeah, that’s me. Trouble in paradise?”

“He knows Randy was my first mate.”

“General Randy? What a small world.”

“Tabitha said the same thing. So, why is Gavin so mad?”

“Hmm, I wouldn’t say he’s mad. He’s scared.”

Standing straight, “Scared of what Trent?”

“You will confide in Randy. You’ll renew your friendship with Randy. He’s known you all your life. Things Gavin will never be able to compete with.”

Angry and hurt, but mostly angry. “After everything I told him that he means to me. I’ve done more with him, than I ever did with Randy.”

“Why do you threaten to leave… at just a small fight?”

This kind of takes her off her pissed off game. Glancing down, not realizing what she did, until now. “You’re right. I said something about Gavin rejecting me several times.” Looking at Trent, “Why do I keep doing that?”

“Maybe you’re scared of what you feel for him. Maybe you’re scared he’ll reject you like Randy did. Or maybe I’m totally wrong and just full of-”

The door opens, “Thank you Trent.” Gavin says while holding onto Maylyn’s hand.

She glances at Gavin, her eyes to Trent, “Thank you, Trent. You, make me think.”

He bows to her before his eyes meet Gavin’s and he leaves.

“Come in, please.” Gavin asks.

Maylyn glances down, thinking if this is what she really wants to do. Of course, this is what she wants to do! The feelings his touch creates, panties falling off.

Nodding and allowing him to lead her into the bedroom. Her back to him as he closes the door behind her. Her fingers intermingled and sitting by her waist.

“Maylyn.” Gavin starts. “I’m sorry for overreacting. I knew about your first mate. It doesn’t bother me you were mated before me. It didn’t even bother me that you might have been with that mate. It bothers me it was Randy. I was more surprised at who it was. Randy came to the Kingdom one day and worked his way up to the position he is in now. To think he was running away from you.” 

Gavin wraps his arms around her shoulders and pulls her to him. Maylyn inhaling his scent while the sparks burst all over her upper body. He kisses her head, “Forgive me for handling this badly. But… this is your home now. If you keep telling me you want to leave, eventually, I will let you go. I don’t want you to be unhappy.”

Holding his hand, turning, wrapping her arms around his waist and holding him close. “I’m sorry my first thought is always leaving. I don’t want to be apart from you Gavin.”

He places a hand on her face and lifts it to face him. His eyes are stunning, and blue? 

“Why are your eyes blue?”

“They change color with my mood. Have you never noticed?”

“No?”

He chuckles, “I know. That’s because I’m been suppressing it. When the mating bond is completed, you will notice this change in you as well.”

Maylyn nods, “Why are they blue?”

“I want you.”

Reaching up, not waiting for a nice kiss. Her mouth open and tongue in his mouth. Wondering if the blue eyes is, some kind, of aphrodisiac? If so, it’s working really good!

He moves his arms around her waist and picks her up. Wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck and straight into his hair. The kiss has yet to end, her body hot and swelling.

He climbs on the bed, breaking the kiss. Taking her hands from him and standing on her knees. Her hands to his chest and right under his shirt, his hands on her waist. “You always taste so good.”

Giggling, “I bet you feel good too.”

“Yeah, but not yet. The ceremony is soon, and you need to go and get the dress. Lots of guests will be here and I want to properly show you off.”

“Okay.”

He runs a hand through her hair, “You’re so pretty. I can’t wait until your mine.”

Tilting her head with a smile, “I’m already yours Gavin.”

He runs a hand down her neck and across her collar bone and stopping at her marking spot. Unable to keep from a small moan while closing her eyes. The feeling is nice, warm, and just sweet tarts. Licking her lips at that thought and moaning again.

“What?”

Maylyn opens her eyes, “I was thinking, I like your taste like I like sweet tarts.”

He suddenly looks down changing the mood. “What is it Gavin?”

“Its time for you to go shopping Maylyn.”

“Oh.” Feeling a bit sad. “I suppose we have to part now.”

He kisses her cheek before taking her hand and kissing it, “Only for a bit longer. Then I’ll get the pleasure to waking up to you every morning.”

Maylyn sitting on a red sofa, next to Tabitha, legs crossed and body facing Tabitha. “I thought this would be more exciting.”

“Huh?” Tabitha glances at her before her eyes drift back to the dresses in front of them.

Maylyn turns her body toward front and yawns, “Do I have to do this?”

“Yes! You must have a dress for the ceremony. You can’t go out naked hoe.”

Chuckling, “I will be later that night.”

“Shooooottt, you better be anyways!” The girls laugh. 

“Okay, okay, lets get this dress." Maylyn feeling done with this day, "I’m hungry and I want to go home.”

Tabitha motions to the dresses in front of them, “Well, I suppose you should stop worrying about my love life and start picking a dress. Today we pick a dress, today and tomorrow it’s made and fitted. Then, you’re going to be crowned Queen. So, you need to find a dress!”

“Okay.”

Arriving home and going straight to her bedroom. Trent is waiting for Tabitha in the main room. Dinner would be soon, and Maylyn wants to rest and maybe meet people.

“Tre- My lord. How can I help you?” Tabitha asks while bowing to him.

Trent has noticed the distance and the mate bond feeling seemingly fading, and he doesn’t like it. Tabitha is his mate and he accepts her. Growing up, she always held a special place in his life, if he was honest with himself, he maybe wished for her to be his mate. When she was, he was happy and everything he secretly thought, was intensified.

Approaching her slowly and standing less then half a arms distance away. “You know I hate when you call me that Tabitha.”

She looks into his eyes, not saying a word, only a slow blink. “Why are you pulling away from me? I feel our bond failing. What have I done and what can I do to correct this?”

She presses her lips together and glancing away, but not answering. He sighs, not wanting to push her feeling like he’s already made a mess of their relationship. He still needs to tell her the reason for the mess he made is coming tomorrow for the ceremony. Thou, things are very different this time.

“Tabitha… Eleanor is coming tomorrow with her pack.” 

Her body stiffens. Trent wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her close, their noses touching, and he looks in her eyes. “Tabitha, you mean everything to me. I want you to be my official partner for the ceremony. You are my mate. I will not hide you or make you feel anything less then the only person I want to be with. Will you be by my side?”

She blinks and caresses his cheek, “Why are you doing this?”

“I will never make that mistake again. There will never be anyone but you. I was worried about-” He glances from her eyes. “There is nothing that scares me more than losing you.”

“But Eleanor-”

“I don’t care who that girl is. I don’t care what we might have had in the past. The only thing I care about, is my future with you. You are the girl that was given to me and you will be the girl I give my future too.”

Her face shows worry. “What can I do Tabitha?”

“I want to believe you. I love you Trent but… I’m scared. The past-”

Hugging her tight, “I’m sorry Tabitha.”

When she hugs him tight and the feel goods slow and warms his full body. Resting his head in the crook of her neck and inhaling deep. “You smell like the sky after the rain.” Inhaling deep again, “I want to be here forever.”

She exhales and relaxes into his embrace.
