Lea looked around the ballroom as she was giving instructions for the decorations. Her light blue gown falling around her like she was flying as she rushed towards a maid who looked like she was about to collapse by the weight of the flowers she held. 'Careful now's she smiled at the young maid and landed her a hand. With a blush the maid thanked her and they put the flowers away safely for the gardener to bring them to their proper place. 'Your majesty, the chefs seem to have a disagreement in the kitchen on which type of sweets you wanted for tomorrow'. The sound of his familiar voice gave Lea goosebumps and she had a hard time concealing her smile. 'Of course David, I wouldn't want chaos in the kitchen's she said politely and followed the broad man into the corridors. It didn't take long before Lea felt the cold touch of the walls against her back and his lips on hers. As she gave in to his tender but passionate kiss she placed her arms around his neck. But when their kiss became more heated she gently pushed him back a little. 'David, we need to stop this' she whispered softly looking into his brown eyes 'I'll be married to another man tomorrow'. His brown eyes filled with the pain she also felt in her heart. The one she was meant to marry, prince Eric, had been very kind to her and they were on the same level on a lot of things. But his dark hair and icy blue eyes just couldn't match the warm brown eyes and blond hair of the man before her, the man she truly loved. 'I don't know if I can do this Lea. I know we talked about this but just the thought of his lips against yours, his hands on your body. It drives me insane'. She gently let her fingers go through the soft strands of his hair 'we have no choice David. The kingdom needs this and as the princess it is my duty to do what's best for everyone, even if it hurts me more than anything'. She gave him a soft peck on the lips to avoid his pained look. 'Leave with me Lea, I know I won't be able to give you the life you're used to but I swear I'll do anything to make you happy' he pleaded her overwhelmed with emotion. His words shattered the pieces of her already broken heart as she tightened her grasp on his shoulders. 'I can't leave David' she whispered softly as she looked up to him with watery eyes 'I need to go back'. Lea knew she had to go before she would loose all her willpower and say yes to his offer. They both knew what they wanted but David knew she couldn't leave with him, the guilt would be the end of her so he let her go. Lea went back to preparing the castle for the celebrations and went for dinner with both the families. Although she was polite and smiled, she felt like she was a shell of herself, numb from every emotion but intense sadness. Lea was in her bed when she thought of the dinner. Eric was kind and charming and if it wasn't for David she felt like she could grow love for the man. But her heart was taken by the man she loved, her only love. She imagined him in his bed with his golden hair around him on the pillow, his strong arms holding the blanket around him, his face relaxed as he was in deep slumber. She could see every detail of his face, the straight nose, his pink lips and strong jawline. She wished she could imagine more of him, but she never saw his body, his skin. It was that desire that made her step out of her bed and put her robe over her nightgown. With her heart beating heavy in her chest she left her bedroom. Lea knew the castle better than anyone, including the secret corridors and knew exactly how to walk without getting seen. With her hand on the doorknob she suddenly felt nervous butterflies in her stomach, what if he would reject her or maybe he wasn't even there? What if he was in there with another woman to forget about her? Only the thought of that made her feel jealous, which would be exactly how David felt thinking about her wedding night she thought ironically. She hesitated for another moment but then heard voices in the hallway, afraid to get caught she opened the door and entered the room softly. She closed the door behind her and heard her heart beat fast and loudly in her chest. It took a few moments till her eyes got used to the darkness but when they did, she saw the shape of his body in the bed. David was laying on his back not being able to sleep, and pushed himself up when he had heard the door. At first he thought his mind was playing tricks on him, but then he immediately recognised the smell of her perfume. 'Lea?' he said confused as he stood up from his bed. Hearing his voice she felt her hands shaking, wondering if she had made a mistake she felt waves of emotions almost drowning her. Love, pain, desire, the sense of being lost, they all flowed through her body and he was the only one that could keep her from drowning. She needed him, he was the air in her lungs and the fire to keep her warm. She walked up to him with tears falling down her cheeks as her walls broke down 'I love you David, I need you' her voice filled with hurt 'I can't let you go, I just can't live without you'. As soon as she was close he curled his arms around her, pushing her close to his chest. 'I promise I'm not leaving love' he told her as he stroked her hair. Torn between her duty and heart she looked up to him. He gave her a comforting smile as his hands softly wiped away her tears from her cheeks 'I will always love you Lea, no matter who you choose'. Her hands went to his hair weaving her fingers through the soft strands 'I choose you, it always will be you' she told him softly. As soon as she spoke those words his lips found hers, lovingly and tender. Their kiss grew more passionate and hungry as she let her hands go from the nape of his neck towards his shoulders and back. Wanting to feel every inch of his skin. They almost felt desperate for each other, clinging onto this moment in time. Not parting their lips he took a small step back so his hands could untie her robe and let it fall down her shoulders. As soon as the light fabric touched the ground Lea stepped forward again, needing his embrace more than anything. David lifted her gently in his arms and stepped back till he felt de bed against his calves. Only parting their lips for air he wrestled with the laces on the back of her dress, mumbling irritated against her lips as the threads started to knot together. Lea giggled softly and turned her back to him so he could see what he was doing. It took him a few moments to unravel the mess before it was loose enough to fall down. Wanting to print everything in his mind David held her by her waist and let his eyes follow her spine. Her skin was light and smooth, her butt perfectly round and firm. He turned her around to face him so he could look at her, she was perfect and beautiful. Lea blushed a little under his heated gaze and looked into his eyes. She noticed his adoration and love for her which made her heart skip a beat. She now had the time to look at his chiseled upper body, strong and scarred by hard work. So opposite from her own she thought, placing her hands on his chest and feeling his fast heartbeat underneath her fingertips. 'You're so beautiful' he said softly cupping her face in his hands. She smiled at him and kissed him again in response, hungry and needy. David lifted her up again and placed her on the mattress. It was harder than she was used to and the fabric of the sheets felt old, but Lea couldn't care less when David joined her after leaving the pants he was sleeping in on the ground, and started to kiss her neck. His hands caressing her body, touching places she was never touched before. Her breathing became heavy when a burning desire flowed through her. She wanted to feel him, give herself to him and only him, remembering this night for the rest of her life. She grabbed his shoulder and pulled him to her whispering his name in desire. Feeling the same need to be close David placed himself between her legs, positioning himself before her entrance. Placing the tip in he felt her wetness and he moved himself up and down her folds to spread it to make it easier for him to enter. Lea moaned in pleasure by this movement as he touched her pleasure spot every time he went up. Her moan made him throb and get even harder as he pushed the tip between her folds. She curled her legs around his waist inviting him into her depts. When he did she gasped for air from the sharp pain in her lower abdomen. As soon as he was completely inside her he caressed her hair, placing soft kisses on her face 'I'm sorry love'. Lea shook her head and opened her eyes to look into his 'I'm fine'. David gave her some time to get used to it, but took the moment to kiss her lovingly and tender before gently moving his hips back and forth. Lea still felt a little sharp pain but with time it became less painful. As soon as the pain was completely gone she could focus on the intens feeling of him inside her. Every time he pushed in she moaned his name in pleasure as she could feel him fill her up and caress her sensitive walls. Her moans made David move faster as his lips searched for hers in a passionate kiss. Moans filled the room as their lovemaking became more heated. Lea held onto him feeling overwhelmed by the pleasure that was coming over her. His thrusts became deeper and she felt her muscles tightening around him, making them shake lightly. David knew these where signs of her coming release and without loosing pace he took her breast in his hand and placed his lips around the taut n****e. This move gave Lea sparks all over her body as she curved her back giving him an angle that only increased her pleasure. 'oh David!' she cried out as she lost control over her body. Feeling her clenching around his shaft in her release he started to make short but deep thrusts until he too felt he was on the verge of coming. It didn't take long before he spilled his seed deep inside her with a low grunt. He needed some time to recover from his release as he softly let himself fall on her chest. With her heart beating like crazy Lea softly caressed his hair. 'I love you David' she softly whispered as she wished this night would never end.
