Forbidden Tail

Lonely

Lucien's POV

She's the girl I've been destined for. The one I've been waiting for, for so long I thought I'd been cursed to these woods. Alone and isolated from the world.

In reality I'd wait so much longer for her. Forever if need be.

"So if I may invite you to join me for lunch I'd gladly explain why it's not crazy. Just mother forest doing her job." I smile lightly as I watch her ponder the suggestion.

"Sure. I mean why not? Are you going to tell me you live out here?" she smirks at me. My goddess she's adorable.

"I do actually live out here. Just a short walk from here."

I turn and look over my shoulder to make sure she's going to follow. That's when I realize she's staring at me. I follow her gaze and my face blanches. How could I forget I'm only in my skivvies?

I quickly head to the far bank of the pond and don my clothes. She must've found my obvious blunder amusing as I hear a small chuckle. Of course I'm just as embarrassed as can be, literally caught without my pants on but I cannot help but laugh.

I turn towards her and she arches an eyebrow at me. I shrug my shoulders and ponder what to say to dampen this awkward moment. "I'm sorry for that." I say in admonishment. "I heard you fall and forgot that I'd stripped down to swim. Thank goddess I wasn't completely bare. I'd have certainly scared you off."

She lets out an incredible full laugh and smiles at me. "I don't know. I might've just stood in amazement." she blushes.

I feel her eyes trailing my body and cannot help the jolt to my libido. "Oh. I do hope you won't regret that little one, but I do believe I'd be the one amazed if you didn't run away." I c**k my brow and smirk at her. Her checks are an amazing shade of pink. I think I might've found a favorite color.

Trying to steer my thoughts away from my lonely desires for this woman Sirena, I start walking back towards my cabin. Keeping her in my sight but not pressuring her in any way I lead her through the trees. As I'm walking I do as usual and touch the nearby trees as I pass. Feeling my connection to the forest and knowing that Sirena will surely feel it too in time.

As I near my property I slow down and walk alongside her. Trying to make sure she's comfortable. "So what is it you really want to know today Sirena?"

She just shrugs her shoulders and looks up at me. " I guess I'll start with why it seemed like the forest was calling to me, like practically speaking to me in whispers? That is if it's not just me going crazy?"

I laugh stopping and looking at her. "You are not going crazy. I assure you that. Mother forest is usually very subtle in her guidance. Today seems to be very important to her. Otherwise she wouldn't have led us both out to that enchanted clearing."

She nods in encouragement so I continue.

" Well you see. Many beings are drawn to the forest for a variety of reasons I'm sure you're aware of. Today happens to be a day of celebration in certain cultures. It is prophesized that a lost princess will find her path this day. You see the princess was precious to Mother forest, but one day she wandered off and she hasn't returned. The prophecy states that the lone princess wandered into a small village and was being raised there, but she was never happy, never comforted, and always alone. It's said that she was to be drawn home when she came of age, back to the forest and to her true destiny."

She looked at me with confusion. "But how could a princess be unloved, alone? How come if the people knew where she was all along why did they leave her there? Didn't they want her? Wasn't she important?"

I expected confusion from her but where do I begin? How can I ease her into her true role? As my fated as the princess of the fey. She's the future of us all. Her path is to unite us to the shifters. It's a lot to learn and I don't know if she's going to be able to digest it any time soon.

"Well. I cannot say for sure why she wasn't retrieved, but I can assure you she was protected. You see the princess had a destined. A soulmate if you like, and he was always near her. He was not allowed to approach her though. He was forced to be alone until he met his destined." I smile knowing I'm finally allowed to be accompanied in this life.

"That's so sad. You're telling me he's just been alone waiting for her? How could fate be so cruel? Do you know how long he's been waiting for her? You said today is the day she was supposed to return to her role right? Does that mean he's not alone now?" she gives me a sad smile.

I ponder on how to go forward in this conversation. She waits patiently for a response. Only then do I realize I had hesitated for too long. Not used to having company will certainly make things more difficult when it comes to conversation.

"Yes he has been waiting for her. I assure you he's been very lonely in his waiting for her but knowing she would arrive in time helped to soothe his loneliness. As the years passed time seemed to evade him. And finally after so very long he is no longer alone, but with the woman he's been waiting for for a lifetime." I smile looking directly into her eyes.

She seemed taken aback by my sincerity. I feel like I'm being drawn towards her and without thinking I'm directly infront of her. She gasps but moves ever so slightly towards me. Oh goddess how am I to resist her temptation?

She reaches up and places her hand on my chest. Help me. This woman is too tempting. My restraint is weakening.

Sirena POV

I cannot believe this man just invited me to his home wearing nothing but his underwear. Is he blushing right now? My God! I thought him walking towards me was a sight but as he quickly strides away the view is equally impressive. Yummy.

What is wrong with me? I've never reacted to a man in such a way. I cannot help but chuckle at my crazed hormones and this beautiful man fumbling to be dressed and decent. Like we haven't just spent the last half an hour or so talking while he's been so scarcely dressed. He looks at me and laughs.

I arch a brow at him pondering why he would even bother getting clothed. He's beautiful. Sculpted muscles and nicely tanned skin. His warm eyes shimmering in the sunlight. I almost wish he hadn't gotten dressed.

Interrupting me from my depraved thoughts "I'm sorry for that." he said blushing adorably "I heard you fall and forgot that I'd stripped down to swim. Thank goddess I wasn't completely bare. I'd have certainly scared you off."

I couldn't help but laugh at that. My God if he only knew the thoughts that have been running through my head.

"I don't know. I might've just stood in amazement." I blush at my boldness. Without thinking I'm raking my eyes over his body. My word he's wonderful to look at. "Oh. I do hope you won't regret that little one, but I do believe I'd be the one amazed if you didn't run away." Oh Lord he's flirting with me. He lifts one brow and smirks at me. Oh I'm game. Gimme what you got handsome.

Then just like that the bubble bursts and he starts leading me away. I follow behind him and appreciate his grace in the way he walks. How he gently caresses the trees he's just adorable. I can sense we are nearing his home. He slows down and walks beside me and it just feels so right beside him.

"So what is it you really want to know today Sirena?" he breaks my train of thought. I shrug my shoulders unsure where to begin. I guess it's best to start at the beginning right?

" I guess I'll start with why it seemed like the forest was calling to me, like practically speaking to me in whispers? That is if it's not just me going crazy?"

He laughs and my core tightens with him this close. "You are not going crazy. I assure you that. Mother forest is usually very subtle in her guidance. Today seems to be very important to her. Otherwise she wouldn't have led us both out to that enchanted clearing."

Okay. Seems that he was drawn there too. I nod hoping he'll continue.

" Well you see. Many beings are drawn to the forest for a variety of reasons I'm sure you're aware of. Today happens to be a day of celebration in certain cultures. It is prophesized that a lost princess will find her path this day. You see the princess was precious to Mother forest, but one day she wandered off and she hasn't returned. The prophecy states that the lone princess wandered into a small village and was being raised there, but she was never happy, never comforted, and always alone. It's said that she was to be drawn home when she came of age, back to the forest and to her true destiny."

That just seems so sad. I'm so confused by the story it seems so familiar. "But how could a princess be unloved, alone? How come if the people knew where she was all along why did they leave her there? Didn't they want her? Wasn't she important?" My heart sinks as I feel incredibly connected to the story of this princess.

"Well. I cannot say for sure why she wasn't retrieved, but I can assure you she was protected. You see the princess had a destined. A soulmate if you like, and he was always near her. He was not allowed to approach her though. He was forced to be alone until he met his destined."

He forced a small sad smile at me. I cannot believe fate would make someone live a life in solitude.

"That's so sad. You're telling me he's just been alone waiting for her? How could fate be so cruel? Do you know how long he's been waiting for her? You said today is the day she was supposed to return to her role right? Does that mean he's not alone now?"

I cannot help the sad smile that crossed my face thinking of how overjoyed the man just be. I know well what is like to be alone. How it feels to be isolated.

"Yes he has been waiting for her. I assure you he's been very lonely in his waiting for her but knowing she would arrive in time helped to soothe his loneliness. As the years passed time seemed to evade him. And finally after so very long he is no longer alone, but with the woman he's been waiting for for a lifetime."

He smiles down at me looking deep into my eyes. My Lord the golden brown of his eyes is sucking me in. Before I realize it he is directly infront of me just a mere foot away. I cannot resist the urge to touch him in some way. I reach out and place my hand on his chest. I didn't miss the way his breath caught at my touch. Oh Lord I'm falling down the rabbit hole that is Lucien.

I turn my chin up to him and lean in every so slightly my body moving without restraint. He looks at me like I'm a cool drink in the middle of the desert and I give in to the last few inches between us.

Now flush against him I feel his arousal pressed between us and good God am I intrigued. He leans down to my lips with a sigh and captures my lips in a tender, heart rendering kiss. I cannot control the small moan that leaves my lips at the sensation of his soft warm lips caressing mine. He slowly wraps his arms around me and deepens the kiss. Ever so slowly willing me to open for him to explore my mouth.

He tastes like fresh water and the crispest morning dew after a slight rain.

We stay lost in ourselves for a while just enjoying the caresses of each other. Eventually he breaks the kids with a regretful sigh.

" As much as I am thoroughly enjoying tasting your lush lips and driving into your so sweet mouth my dear we have yet to even go inside. I feel there is much time for us to get better aquatinted. That is if you would like that?"

He paused and waits for me to remember how to breath as he's holding me pressed to his chest. What can I say to that? Did he just invite me to stay? Do I want to leave?

"Oh. Yeah, you said something about lunch and sweet tea right?" I smile and he grins back at me.

"If that is what the lady wants I will gladly supply both. Just know I will not pressure you for anything past your comfort. All you have to do is ask and I'll give you anything I've got. Do you understand?"

I gape at him as he c***s a brow waiting for a response. I can have him? That's what he said right. Anything he has. Oh. I want him. I have no idea why this man draws me in so deeply but I'm hopeless to fight it.

"Yyy..yes. I understand I think. But may I clarify?" I stumble out.

"You can ask me anything you'd like love. I'm at your service." he gives me a devilishly handsome smile.

"Well, I'll come right out with it then. Are you offering yourself to me? I cannot explain to you what I'm feeling. I don't understand. It makes no sense but I feel drawn to you like I've never been in my life. May I stay to further explore our connection?"

I exhale waiting for the rejection. Sure I'm absolutely insane.

"First let us go inside. Then I'll give you a proper answer to those questions. So long as that is okay with you?" he looks so unsure. My word I want to keep him. He seems so sincere and sweet. He looks like an absolute brute but his mannerism and way of speaking just seem so gentle. I nod my head in agreement. I most certainly want to hear his answer.

He leads me into his lovely cabin and my breath catches I my throat. It's so warm and welcoming. He's got green plants of different varieties spread throughout the open space. He leads me to his quaint dining area and pulls me out a chair. I take my seat and he settles in a seat infront of me. Taking my hand in his he gazes into my eyes.

"Now to answer your questions. My dear. Anything of my possession is yours. My body is yours how you see fit. My heart is yours if you accept it. You and I are destined Sirena."

I gasp at his sincerity. My name on his lips making me incredibly aroused. Seeing how serious he is I cannot resist the temptation that is Lucien.

"That's good to know. Now I want to taste the spoils that await me." I smile seductively at him and stand to my feet, slowly rounding the table to stand before him. As I gaze into his eyes I see his chest heaving in anticipation. I straddle myself across his lap and look down upon him. He places his hands tenderly on my hips and I cannot resist moving my hips slightly. Testing the tension between us. He groans as I press my core over his manhood. I lean forward slowly pressing my lips to his. Yes, this certainly feels right.
