The King's Mistress

6

Dahlia stayed by Hayden's bedside while he recovered from his injuries, Anders had put him under a spell to keep him asleep, so he could recover properly, the only time he had any degree of conciousness was to feed him, even then he wasnt very lucid. He had been under for 2 weeks, Dahlia had entered her 5th month of pregnancy. It worried Dahlia that she hadn't felt the baby move, Anders and Bethany had reassured her the baby was fine, Leandra told her that she didn't feel much movement from Hawke until later on the pregnancy, it was common to not feel much at first in the first pregnancy.

Hayden moved, his fingers twitching, Dahlia perched herself on the bed, "It's ok, you are safe," Dahlia soothed as she stroked his forehead.

Hayden opened his eyes, trying to focus on Dahlia, "Where are we?" He croaked.

"In Lothering, staying with friends," Dahlia helped Hayden sit up so he could drink some water.

"What happened?"

Dahlia shifted angrily, "Loghain ordered his troops to retreat, he left us for slaughter. We were being overrun, you were in the clutches of an Ogre, luckily I managed to kill it. Duncan ordered me to flee with you."

"What about Alistair? Anders? Fergus?"

"Alistair and Anders are here with some others. Fergus had to pull my Father away from the fight early, he had hurt his leg. Only Duncan made it back," Hayden squeezed her thigh.

"Thank you for saving me, we have to go back,"Hayden gingerly stood up with Dahlia's help.

"I cant Hayden, not yet," Dahlia knew he would be angry with her after she told him about the baby.

"Why not?"

"I'm pregnant, Hayden, I have a price on my head, I need to stay in hiding for a while," Dahlia braced herself for his anger.

"What! Did you know before you went into battle?" Dahlia just nodded, "How long have you known?"

"Since before you left for Ostagar," Dahlia whispered.

"You didn't think to tell me, you didn't think I had a right to know before you went and put the baby in danger. Do you remember what happened to our first baby?" Hayden couldn't control the volume in his voice.

"What was I supposed to do, Hayden? Let you die at Ostagar? I spent months convinced that you would die in that pit of death, I had to be there to stop it and you nearly did die, you've been recovering for 2 weeks," Dahlia pushed her tears away furiously, "I've been sat here for those 2 weeks, watching the man I love, holding on. I love you, Hayden and did what I had to do. The baby is fine, so don't give me what ifs."

Hayden put his arms around, Dahlia melted into his embrace, Hayden just couldn't be angry at her, "I love you too, Dahlia. Why didn't you tell me?"

Dahlia rested her cheek against his naked chest, "I didn't want give you more things to worry about. I didn't want to let you down, in case I miscarried again."

Hayden tightened his grip on her, "You could never let me down," He whispered. He felt a poking sensation against his stomach, Dahlia pulled away, looking down at her stomach, "Is that our baby?"

Dahlia smiled, "Yeah, she's never done that before."

Hayden untied her breeches and lifted her tunic, exposing the bump. He rubbed his hands against it in awe, exploring each area of the bump, finding areas that were harder than others, he concluded he was touching the baby, their own precious baby. He prodded at the bump, only to be rewarded with a kick, Dahlia laughed, "Hello, little one," He whispered, tears running down his cheeks as he was rewarded with another kick, he swallowed the lump is his throat, "You know, Dahlia, I never really wanted children, I thought they were just something you had to keep the family going," Hayden turned Dahlia around pulling her back against his chest, his hands rubbing the small bump all over, "Then you came along, made me fall in love, now this, my first love carrying my, just as important, second love. How did I get so lucky?"

Dahlia turned around to face him, her hand disappeared into his small clothes, a devilish smirk on her plump lips, "Well, maybe you got lucky because, you are charming," Dahlia kissed his lips, "brilliant," then his neck, "tender," then his collarbone, "funny and impossibly handsome," then his chest, "just to name a few reasons," Dahlia pulled her hand out of his small clothes, backing away slightly, "I guess we better hold off on that, you've only just woken up, you might not be completely healed."

Hayden wrapped his arms around her, forcing backwards towards the bed, "I am just fine and its been months, the King needs his Queen," Hayden laid down on the bed, pulling Dahlia on top of him, "This is the part I'm going to enjoy."

Dahlia smirked, getting up, slowly stripping off, when she was finally naked, Hayden looked at her in awe, she was gloriously pregnant, Hayden sat up, pulling Dahlia towards him, "I think, I'm marrying a Goddess."

Dahlia pulled off his small clothes before climbing into the bed with him, Hayden pulled her against him, their unborn baby nestled soundly between them. They kissed, slowly, playfully, tenderly, making up for 2 months of separation. Dahlia slipped her hand down to Hayden's length, stroking up and down, "don't tease me, Your Majesty," Hayden gasped, Dahlia gave him a dangerous look before sinking down on his length, both groaned at the sensation, they had miss being together like this.

Hayden watched as his Queen rode him, her head thrown back in pleasure, one hand playing with her breasts, the other between her legs, massaging her pearl, she was utter perfection and she was all his. He gripped her hips and bucked up into her, she laid against his chest, groaning as he thrust into her hard. She tensed up, the familiar pooling in her groin turning into a unbearable heat, she throw her head backwards, crying out his name, she lifted herself off of his length, much to his confusion. She threw him a mischievous look as she position herself in between his legs.

He watched her keenly, she was planning something and he knew he was going to like it, Dahlia stroked his length, teasing the tip with her fingers, she positioned herself to wrap her breasts around his length, he groaned and felt himself undoing just at the sight of his c**k in between her growing breasts. He felt the cold as she sat up, "Sit up," She demanded, Hayden manoeuvred himself to the to the edge of the bed, Dahlia position herself in between his thighs, she smiled innocently at him, "I wonder if it will fit it my mouth as it does in my cunny," Hayden couldn't speak, he never seen this side of Dahlia before, she turned him on easily before, but this was entirely new and he was gonna explore her limits. He watched as his length disappeared into her mouth, her eyes fixed on his as she massaged him with her mouth, moving agonisingly slow, she was teasing him, he growled low in his throat, she smirked and moved faster, Hayden couldn't take any more, with a growl, he exploded into her and slumped back down on the bed, thoroughly spent.

Dahlia crawled back up to the bed, settling herself next to him, "Did his Majesty enjoy himself?" She asked quite calmly.

Hayden laughed, "When did you get to be like that, so vulgar and filthy?"

"I've always been like that, I'm saving the best for our wedding night, I didn't want to show off all my talents."

"Ok, so tell me, what would you be willing to do?" Hayden turned on his side to face her, a hand going straight to the bump.

Dahlia grabbed the tie of her robe next to the bed, and pretended to tie her hands with it, she laid back on the bed, hands above her head, "Your Majesty, please, I have never laid with a man before," Dahlia said in a mock tone.

"Oh, so you aren't just my Queen, you are my slave, what else?" Hayden smiled, watching his perfect Queen.

"I can be your jailer, or a naughty little mage that you drag back to the circle."

"Ooooo, I like that, but my little mage is a fighter, she wont give up easily," Hayden leaned over her slightly.

"Then you will just have to restrain her, but then she'll be at your mercy," Dahlia rubbed her nose against Hayden's, kissing him gently.

"I'll try to be the perfect Templar, but no promises."

Dahlia laid on back, pillows under hear, "She's awake again," Dahlia rubbed her bump.

Hayden moved down the bed, so he was next to Dahlia's stomach, gently he rested his head against the bump, "Do you think she can hear us?"

"Yeah, I think so, I read to her," Dahlia reached over, grabbing a book, handing to Hayden, "Read to her, so she knows your voice."

"I have a story to tell her."

"What is that?"

Hayden smiled at Dahlia and started his story, "Once upon a time, there was a handsome King who was lonely, he had lots of people around him, but no company, that changed when the most beautiful most beautiful lady in all of Thedas called, Lia," Hayden stopped when Dahlia laughed.

"Isn't the King a charmer?" They felt the baby move, "I think she agrees."

Hayden continued, "This beautiful Lia made the King feel special, she made him laugh and the King was happy. One day the King went to battle, leaving his Lia behind, he missed her terribly, thought about her constantly. Then Lia arrived before the battle, it gave the King the fire he needed to go on. During the battle, the King was injured but Lia risked herself to save him. Now the King and his new Queen await for the arrival of the most precious thing in the world, their baby."

"I think she's sleeping," Dahlia stroked his hair, a little choked up over the story.

"Lia, will I be a good Father?" Hayden looked at Dahlia for reassurance.

"Hayden, you will be a wonderful Father," Hayden smiled, moving up the bed to wrap his arms around her.

They heard a knock on the door, "Hey, are you decent?" Alistair's sniggers could be heard from the other side of the door.

"We are now," Hayden handed Dahlia her shift and pulled the covers on top of them.

Scarlett walked in first followed by Alistair who carried a tray of food, "My Mother thought you might be hungry, its fish pie and some dessert too."

Hayden practically dribbled at the sight and smell of the food, "Anything your Mother wants, I'll make it happen."

Scarlett laughed, "She's still in awe of the fact she has the King in her house."

Alistair sat on the bed, "So what is the plan?"

Hayden took a mouthful of food, "Well, I guess we should garner some support against Loghain and Anora, go and see my Uncle in Rainsfere, we'll need his help before we go back to Denerim."

"We can discuss it in the morning," Alistair and Scarlett left the room, Dahlia watching as they went.

"They like each other," She said to Hayden as they finished their dinner.
