The Crown and his Queen

Chapter 13 - Ask You To Speak Your Mind

Maylyn wakes to the sun shinning through the windows. Moaning at the smell of the beach, turning over and snuggling into his chest. Only when she feels wet, does she remember that she's naked. Her eyes wide open, thinking maybe its best for her to get up and dressed.

Getting out of the bed quietly and running to the bathroom. Slamming the door behind her and calming herself. Looking at herself in the mirror, why am I so worried? I don’t care if he sees me naked. Looking at her body, I don’t look bad. I can’t image he would think I look awful.

Shrugging her shoulders and deciding to take a shower. Thankfully her MP3 player is still in the restroom from her last shower. Turning on the shower playlist, turning on the water and stepping in. The water is hot, eyes closed, enjoying the water massaging her back while losing herself in a sad song.

Smiling and gathering her courage when smelling him walk into the bathroom. The shower glass doors are fogged, he writes. “Join?”

She moans in a smile. Writing, “Yes!”

The door opens, “I thought you’d never ask.”

She smiles embarrassed when we steps in the shower, naked.

Maylyn looks away, hands in the praying positing attempting to hide her smile. Gavin closes the door behind him and stands in front of her. Taking her hands, “Are you okay?”

She nods, looking down, seeing his s*x standing, moaning, closing her eyes and looking away so embarrassed. “It’s just the thinking of you-”

She smiles, “I’m not use to this. I’ve never seen a… man.”

“What do you think?”

Removing her hands from his. Starting from his head, hands in his hair, “I like your hair. The black is almost blue and its soft and luscious.”

He chuckles. She moves her hands to his arms, “Your arms are muscular. There not overly huge, to the extend your showing off and shirts don’t fit you. But they look good and keep my eyes wondering.”

Her hands to his chest and rubbing to his stomach. “Feels so good from my end. You’re just totally eye candy. Your eyes, your face… it’s something more than a Greek god. Like, dreams I didn’t realize I had.”

Pressing her lips together and letting her hands drop with her eyes. “I don’t really know what a guy is supposed to look like.” Smiling, with her hands covering her mouth, “Can I touch it? What does it feel like?”

Gavin chuckles, “Do you need help?”

Looking at him embarrassed with a smile, “Um… yeah. I don't think I have the courage.”

He laughs, taking her hand and bringing it to his s*x. Removing his hand, she first touches the shaft with her fingers. Balling her palms up to her chest, “Its hard!”

He laughs and nods. “Can I-”

“Please do, Maylyn.”

She laughs embarrassed and holding the shaft. He instantly moans and closes his eyes.

She smiles, “Does it feel good? My hand almost doesn’t- if it wasn’t for my long nails, I couldn’t-”

“You have no idea how good it feels.”

She rubs her hands up and down the length. Another moan from his mouth. He suddenly stops. 

Maylyn pulls her hands from him, “What’s wrong Gavin?”

Gavin's eyes to left and nodding, “Okay. I have to get dressed. How long?”

He nods, “Okay. I’ll be there. Does Tabitha-”

“You already got that straight. Good, when he approaches us, I will tell him no. I’m coming.”

Gavin’s eyes back to her. “I’m sorry my love. That was Trent, I have to go.”

“Oh….” Unable to hide her sadness.

“There's a long story behind this. I'll tell you another time. I’m going to get dressed and basically defend my brother and his mate.”

Sadness gone, “What? Is Tabitha okay?”

“Why don’t we get out and you find her. I won’t have Trent upset because she has to see this.”

Nodding, “Okay Gavin.”

Gavin and Maylyn walk down the stairs seeing Trent and Tabitha standing together. She has her arms around his waist and his hands are cupping her face. They are talking soft and it almost seems like they are walking into their bedroom time.

They both turn their attention to Gavin. “Ready?” Gavin asks Trent.

Trent glances at Tabitha and back to Gavin, “Yeah.”

Meeting Gavin and they leave.

Maylyn smiles at Tabitha, “Hey, are you okay?”

Tabitha looks at her, “I don’t know.”

“What to go sail it out?”

“You know May, I have no idea what that is, but yes.”

“Its what I do when I need to get away. I need this too.”

“Okay, we need to be home in a couple of hours. Your dress will be here and final fitting time.”

“Ugh Tabitha! Why do you need to bring up all my stress?”

“Have you met the parents yet?”

“Ugh, I’m going to get a zit.”

They laugh while walking out of the castle together.

Maylyn and Tabitha laying on their backs looking up at the sky. “You know May….”

“Hm?”

“When I first found out Trent was my mate, I was happy. I think I’ve always loved him. He was actually in a relationship with Eleanor.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. She’s very pretty and from a good pack. One day, I was out at the beach alone. I had been feeling that maybe it was time for me to leave the pack. Or just go on a long trip. I don’t know. I made the mistake of talking to someone and that someone mentioned it to Trent. I was just thinking, not really planning anything. Anyways, I was standing like a mile away on some rocks when I smelt him. I heard that wolf in my head going crazy about our mate.”

“You have a wolf? Like a normal wolf.”

“Not anymore, once upon a time I did. I turned looking for the source and he was standing behind me. I told that wolf to shut up, its just Trent not our mate. Trent already has a mate.”

“Was Eleanor his mate.”   

“No, it turns out they were just choosing to be together. He walked to me and cliché growled mine.” She chuckles, “I laugh about it now. But he kissed me and from that moment, all the I’m hiding I’ve always loved you was out. He was my mate and he didn’t seem to reject me.”

“But?”

“Yeah, big but May! So, after the kiss, he seemed to wake up or something. He turned and left me without a word. Next thing I know I am assigned to work in the castle. But I hadn’t seen Trent since that day.”

“Did you miss him.”

“I did and I was so confused. He knew we were mates and yet he tried to stay away. Or at least it felt like he tried to stay away. One day doing my cleaning duties, he showed up behind me and hugged me. I felt so relieved that he wanted me. But he didn’t, he said he was in a relationship and didn’t ask for me.”

“Wow.”

“Yeah, I ran out of the castle crying. I shifted and ran for what felt like days. I ended up running so far, I ran to the next pack and passed out. I was there for a couple of weeks and I was happy, until I saw the black SUV. I knew my time had come and I was going to have to go back to the pack.”

“Did you miss Trent?”

“If I’m honest with myself, I did a lot. Too much for someone who was in a relationship and didn’t want me. I was happy at this new pack. I felt like I got away and maybe I would be granted a new mate in time. But when I saw him get out of the SUV, I knew I hadn’t got away. I just ran away, and I was still running. My next thought was to take off and maybe this time I wouldn’t stop. I would just keep going until I died. But by the time I decided to run, Trent was already standing in front of me.”

“That was fast.”

“Girl, you telling me! Anyways, he hugged me tight asking me why I ran away from him. If felt so good to be in his arms, like I was meant to be there. But I already understood my position. I didn’t hug him back and I didn’t reply. He picked me up and walked me back to the waiting car. I saw Gavin talking to the pack Alpha while Trent strapped me in the seat belt. I was happy and miserable. I didn’t want to go back home. There was no choice. When we got back, Trent carried me to his bedroom, laid me on the bed and feel asleep. I guess I needed to recharge him?”

“Oh yeah, that separated mate thing. That must have sucked.”

“You have no idea May. At least Randy rejected you. Trent woke up the next morning and told me I needed to leave. His girlfriend was coming.”

“The hell Tabitha? Nerve!”

“I cried and asked why he brought me back. Why didn’t he just let me be. How could he be so cruel and expect me to watch my mate with another girl. I hated him and I wish he would reject me. Now that set him off. I lived here all my life, so I knew Trent all my life and we were friends. Anyways, he got mad and told me to never ask him about rejecting me again.”

“But that didn’t stop him from seeing Eleanor?”

“Nope! She came and stayed for a week or something. I don’t know. I was doing my housework when I walked into the main room and they were kissing.”

“What the- right in front of you? Tab, you're strong.”

“I gasped and they stopped. I apologized for interrupting and ran out of the room. He looked at me shocked, but he didn’t come after me. Gavin saw the whole thing. After a couple of hours of crying, I came back to work. Gavin told me to take a week off and I was welcomed to go away for that week, he’d pay for it.”

“That’s decent of him. Considering that’s his brother. Did you go anywhere?”

Tabitha shakes her head, “I didn’t. My body was changing so much. I didn’t know what to think of all the changes and I didn’t have my mate to tell me what was happening. But I stayed away, and Gavin assured me Trent would not bother me while I was off.”

“Did he stay away?”

“I don’t know, I didn’t look for him. I cried a lot that week. But when I came back, I decided to not think about him, not to let my eyes look or follow him. There some things I can’t get away from, that mate bond is strong. But anytime I smelled him, I went the other way. You’ve seen him sitting in the main room before?”

Maylyn nods, “Yeah.”

“He started waiting there for me. The first couple of times, I would turn around. That didn’t last thou, he started approaching me. We’ve been like this since the Eleanor incident. Sometimes when he’s stressed out, he’ll grab me and make me lay with him. He’ll apologizes, talks, and kisses me, and he just holds me. He’s never rejected me, and I suppose he doesn’t want too. But I never understood why he keeps me waiting on him.”

“How do you feel about him.”  

“I love him May. I want to be with him, I mean beyond the mate bond. I want Trent but I’m too scared to be with him. He knows it. He was waiting for me a nd told me Eleanor was coming for the ceremony. Their pack is big, and he wanted me to know that I’m his mate and whatever happen last time, will not happen again. I want to believe him, I do. But I’m scared. I’m supposed to be his partner for the ceremony and- and he says he won’t deny me.” Shrugging her shoulder, “I guess we’ll see.”

“Do you think he will turn his back on you Tab?”

“I don’t know May. I just know he did it before with her, why wouldn’t he do it again? She hasn’t been here since that time. What if he sees her again and it picks up where they left off? Did they leave off?”

Hearing an alarm go off, “Story time is over May. Time to see your dress.”

“Oh, is that time already?”

“Are you that nervous?”

“Yeah. But let’s get this over with. I want my man.”
