Demon's Height

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

The nurse had left Melinia with the thought that her king and queen had lain together on their first night. Melinia didn't have the heart to tell the nurse that that was a lie and she was still virginal.

That day Melinia told of a scenario that never happened, of how Liorn rushed up the stone steps and placed her lovingly on the bed, how they took gentle kisses, and how he loved her with passion. Of course, telling of the nurse of what never happened, made Melinia blush a couple of times.

She took a couple of glances in the vanity and found her cheeks slightly rosy, a pale pink on her complexion.

The wind blew and the high old trees crackled. Melinia sighed and thought of her hometown. How is it there now? Does anyone miss her soul? The trees crackled again. Yet there was no wind. Crack. Crack.

Melinia watched from her open window standing by her vanity waiting for a monster to rear its ugly head and take her. Crack. Another branch and it was getting closer. Her hands placed itself on the vanity searching for her necklace, the necklace her father had given to her for protection. Protection from anything.

Another crack and smaller crunches, then a figure jumped through the window and onto the floor. Melinia barely withheld a scream before the hooded figure unhooded itself. It was certainly a man. A man she thought she'd never see again. He was like an angel sent for her. This man was the man Melinia had eyes for when she was younger back in Shimon. The man who she could never be with. "Charles..." she breathed in a silent hush.

"Queen Melinianth" He smiled to her in the most breathtaking voice. His blue eyes danced with twinkles and his blonde bright hair fell in waves to his shoulders. It was as if he brought the sun in with him as he entered her bed chamber.

Melinia couldn't speak. Her heart beat faster and stomach churned." Lieutenant Charles Sebastian Cruvant" She found herself fawning the name out to him. He gave her a very gentlemanly smile that looked very natural and bowed to her. "Your Highness"

"It's late Lieutenant, what is your business at this time?" Melinia stuttered to him. "Your sister Princess Lucianda has sent me" He replied. She frowned and a rush of panic have pooled in her stomach. "M-my sister? Is my sister in good health?" Charles gave a look up to Melinia. "Yes, your highnesses sister is in very good health, but. But the princess has asked me to company her sister. So here I am your highness"

Melinia looked at him for a little bit. This was Charles, the most handsome man in all of Shimon in front of her and the man that she wished she had married. He always had women wanting his hand in marriage but that's preposterous to ask for a man. It was almost as if her prayers have been answered. Was he here to swoop her away from this kingdom? "Why didn't you enter from the front of the castle?" She asked him.

She saw his jaw tic and then he gave her another charming smile. "Your sister knows that your King is a tyrant. He'd behead me if I was to escort his wife. She wanted me to accompany you in the shadows. My queen you cannot speak of me ever being here to a soul or your sister will be very angry" Melinia nodded. What Charles spoke of was true. "Thank you my queen" He said before kissing her hand and taking off a few moments after leaving behind a note from her sister.

It was a long eve in the soldier’s quarters. It was quite boring and Liorn had never stayed this long with his soldiers. He trained with the younger men and watched them as they fought, helping the Captains train their group. He helped them with their mistakes along with finessing his skills in the battlefield.

Liorn smiled because he knew that those young men would one day become such fine warriors as he led them into the battlefield. They would make their Kingdom and his future children proud. With another step he entered his room to see Melinia's beautiful face. He had been yearning to see her all day.

As he entered Melinia stood from the vanity to watch him enter. She wore a thin white night shift that he could see the outline of her n*****s. He shook the image of her naked flesh under him away to avoid the hot liquid that ran throughout his body whenever he thought of her. "My L-lord" she stuttered at once.

Liorn walked closer to the bed to place his gloves on the bed and then looked over his shoulder to look at Melinia. She walked over to him then proceeded to unbutton his blazer for him with shaky fingers. "I have gotten it. Tell the maids to get my bath ready" He ordered her in an almost rough tone. She nodded then hurried out the door to notify the maids of his request.

In the washing chamber Liorn removed his silk black tunic, but left his sash and breeches on his lower torso to shield his privates away from Melinia's view. It wasn't that he was afraid to show his body, he was thinking of what Melinia's thoughts would have been if he got bare in front of her.

Her eyes quickly averted as she watched him remove his tunic. Truthfully, Liorn had the type of body that a woman would have wanted in a husband. He was muscular in strength and mind. His eyes like an eagle's, aware of anyone's every move. She dared not anger him because if she did, she knew he'd show no mercy to an enemy.

Unexpectedly Melina felt his hands slide around her waist suddenly. She gasped and startled herself. "Shh-don't fright, you're just very warm, your skin melts my skin and you have the most delicate scent." Before he could help himself, he sniffed more of her into him. She didn't shake, she was almost relaxed. Before she knew it, she let out an almost inaudible sigh.

The embrace lasted only thirty seconds more before Liorn started to nibble on her neck. "My lord" She hesitantly called then inhaled very deeply when he placed his palm on her left breast. She let out a soft cry as his hands squeezed her gently. She was about to mutter her concerns. It felt uncomfortable and she didn’t know what to do. Her heart raced. "Will you join me?" He asked placating her, already slipping her sleeve off her shoulder.

There was a silence as Melinia's sleeve was already off her shoulder and a couple centimeters more her left breast would be exposed.

Taking a silence as an answer, she felt her thin fabric sleeve brush off her now sensitive breasts sending chills throughout her body, hardening her n*****s. Melinia's breathing became heavy and slow, afraid of what might come next.

"Mmm my dear sweet, I want to ravish you" Liorn's voice spoke seductively against her hair. She opened her mouth to speak against the embrace, but a deep inhale filled her body with an eagerness as his other hand caressed her other breast. The feel of his palm against her bare bosom broke away the self-conscious thoughts and feelings.

Closing her eyes, she felt the fabric slide off her body and pool at her feet.

Liorn turned her chin towards his as he laid a kiss on her forehead. She is the most beautiful creature that he could have laid his eyes on. Liorn thought to himself. He knew her body was responding but her heart wasn't on the same terms. He then laced their fingers together and walked over to the small bathing pool.

He sat down first then tugged her fingers down, then placed her hands on his shoulders feeling the way they cupped his shoulders and jerked slightly. He then pulled her forward to place her naked chest onto his naked chest.

Melinia's thoughts shattered when she was plunged forward for an unprepared embrace. "M-my lord?" She questioned. Hearts skipped beats while his face lay hidden in the crook of her silk neck. It wasn't anything sensual, like a comforting embrace Liorn needed. "My sweet, sweet Melinia, I yearn for your touch and I wish you'd yearn for mine. I can see your frightened eyes. Oh, gods how I wish I can thrust my feelings into you and force you to become mine. To feel me how I feel you. But I can do no such thing onto an innocent, for now I feel I might do something that will surely hurt my Queen if you do not leave this instant. "Liorn murmured as he looked up to see her face.

Her body froze, unphased in his clear threats. His eyes were dark and sinister, a heavy sin to stare into. "Now!" He clenched his teeth and she then could feel his threat hard and ready to take action.

Melinia rose out of the warm waters immediately as she dashed quickly to grab her nightshift. She gave a quick glance towards Liorn as he sat in the water staring into its milky waters. It tied a knot in her stomach to see his vulnerable side and another to know she inflicted this on him. The black heart devasted because he was rejected s*x from his wife. Rushing out the door she dashed quickly to the bed chambers. It's going to be a silent eve. She whispered.

Alone in the pool, Liorn sat staring into the nothingness his member enlarged and tight close to becoming painful, aching for a release. He sighed and held his breath falling back into the pool to let the waters wash his loneliness from him
