A king's desire

Chapter 8

Alexander

Seeing Cassandra in that blue dress had caused me to move almost on instinct. I had to pull her hair free. As it had fallen down over her shoulders I felt my gut clench harshly. I had never seen anything so delicate and beautiful. The dress matched my eyes and yet she wore it as if it was made for her unique features. As she grabbed the ribbon and pressed her body against mine, even for that brief moment I felt myself react. I had to have her again.

As the door shut, I stepped back and glanced back to see the room was indeed empty now. It was just the two of us. Luckily, the guard for the day was a trusted confidante and he would not breathe a word of my actions to anyone. I looked back at Cassandra, who frowned deeply. At least she was looking at me now. She glanced towards the screen where her clothes were. She turned to grab them.

"Cassandra, don't make me chase you." I watched as she froze in place. She turned back to me slowly. The fear in her eyes somehow excited me a little.

"What do you mean, your majesty? I will get dressed and leave as you instructed." I smirked at her words.

"You aren't going anywhere, Cassandra. Now take off that dress or I will rip it off." I watched her eyes widen in realization. The fear in her eyes vanished and she stood straight in front of me. I frowned at the respectful stance.

"Your majesty, I understand the message you wished to send before. There is no need to remind me. I assure you." I blinked in surprise at her words. Message? What message? Was she talking about the night we spent together?

"What do you mean?" I asked, taking a step forward and closing the distance between us. As she tried to pull away, I wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her body against me. She could easily break free with her strength, but she dare not use violence against me. She averted her gaze from me as her cheeks slowly turned a deep red.

"You took offense to my uniforms and tried to show me that. You got carried away but I didn't tell a soul. I wouldn't dare." I understood what she meant and I chuckled. She had misunderstood my desire for her as a mistake. Nothing about wanting such a gorgeous woman was a mistake though. I watched the shock fill her face at my light laugh. I reached out, taking her cheek in my free hand and turning her face back to me.

"Is that what you think?" I leaned forward, placing my lips against her exposed neck and she flinched but didn't pull away. "And what if I told you I simply wanted you?" I heard her gasp as her body tensed against me. I felt her tremble softly as she struggled with herself. I could almost feel the conflict in her as she was debating what to do. "Tell me what you are thinking, Cassandra," I whispered into her ear.

"Please just let me go, your majesty. We can't." I grit my teeth harshly. I picked her up into my arms suddenly and she let out a small girly squeak of surprise. A sound I didn't even fathom she could make. I carried her over to the couch and placed her down on it climbing over her. I began laying kisses on her neck. I felt as her hands were placed feebly against my chest, as if she wanted to push me off. I pulled back from her flesh.

"I alone decide what I can do, Cassandra. Now stop this feeble resistance. I want to feel your body again." I felt her hands drop to the couch and looked up to see her eyes once more averted from me. They held a soft, determined look but her face was void of emotions. Like some pretty doll for me to toy with. I felt a soft pang of anger but couldn't be bothered to care more right now. I needed her.

I pulled the dress down, hearing as the pins holding it closed fell to the floor. In the quiet room, the sound of the soft ping of metal against the floor was almost deafening. I began to kiss her skin again, this time trailing my lips down her chest. I felt her body tense under me briefly. As my lips traveled lower, I pulled the bra down to free her breasts. I took one of her n*****s between my lips and she gasped loudly. As I ran my tongue over the hardening bud, I felt her skin beginning to warm at the attention.

She couldn't deny that her body enjoyed my touch. No matter how much she wanted to act like she hated this. I couldn't wait any longer though. I stood and began to strip. I saw as she watched me out of the corner of her eye and smirked.

"Cassandra. Strip." I said simply. She hesitated a moment before standing and letting the dress fall from her body. She slowly took off the bra and her underwear. She stood in front of me naked once more and I couldn't help as my eyes drank in every inch of her again. She was just as irresistible as I remember. I reached forward and grabbed her chin as I tossed the last of my clothes on the floor.

I turned her face to mine as I leaned forward. As our lips met as they had in my carriage, she gasped again. I clenched my grip on her chin, forcing her to leave her mouth open as I used my tongue to explore. I felt her body shiver at the deep kiss and I wrapped my free arm around her waist. This time there were no clothes between us as I pulled her body against mine. She placed her hands on my chest again but didn't fight me.

I pushed her back a step and lowered her to the couch again, this time not letting go of her. As I pulled back from the kiss she panted softly beneath me. I smiled down at her. She was a sight to behold. Her silver hair framed her upper body beneath me and her chest rose and fell as she tried to regain the breath I had stolen from her. I let my hands travel down her body and placed them under her knees. As I spread her legs, she looked down between us briefly. I saw as her face turned bright red before she looked away again.

"Don't look away, Cassandra. I want to see your eyes this time." I saw her gulp before she slowly turned her face back to me. Once her eyes locked onto mine, I thrust my hips forward. She gasped out loudly and shut her eyes as I entered her. She opened her eyes as she looked at me in a soft, pleading manner. I smirked. Did she even know what she wanted? I pushed my hips forward and groaned softly. She felt just as tight as that first night. I watched her bite her lip and scoffed. I reached forward, placing my hand on her chin and pulling her lip free of her teeth.

"No. I want to hear you. Moan for me, Cassandra." I said as I began to thrust into her. She gasped and moaned softly. I felt a rush down my back at the sound. Ever since that night, I couldn't get her sounds out of my head at night. I had so badly wanted her again just to hear those sounds of hers again. The way she moaned was so different from her normal behavior and I was the only one who got to hear it.

I would be the only one to hear it for a long while. Female knights didn't usually get married until after they retired. So, for now, I was the only one who knew the sounds she could make like that. I grit my teeth at the thought and it drove my hips faster. She moaned louder and I didn't even care if she could be heard through the door. I almost wanted her to be heard. I wanted her to be louder.

I leaned forward suddenly and bit into her neck. Almost on instinct, I dug my teeth into her flesh. Marking her skin that way caused her body to jerk and suddenly she was cumming beneath me. Her body tensed and I felt as if she squeezed my d**k. I couldn't hold it after so many nights imagining her. I thrust forward once more and groaned into her neck as I came. Should I care to be careful like my mother wanted? Right now I couldn't think clearly enough for that. All I could think about was Cassandra and how amazing she felt. As I finally pulled away from her neck, I saw the deep tooth marks I had left and smiled. She was panting hard now and her eyes drooped heavily. Her stamina still couldn't keep up.

I reached forward, running my hand through her hair softly. She leaned into my hand on instinct and I fought the urge to kiss her again. She looked up at me through her barely open eyes. The purple shone brightly despite it all.

"Sleep Cassandra," I whispered gently to her and laid a soft kiss on her temple. Her body relaxed under me and her eyes shut. As she fell asleep, I stood and started to get dressed. I threw the dress over her body to cover her. "Come in!" I called to my guard and he entered the room. He bowed softly and looked at Cassandra on the couch. I glared at him softly and he averted his gaze from her.

"Shall I call for a maid?" He asked and I almost nodded before I realized that if a maid took care of her, the whispers would be uncontrollable tomorrow.

"No. Clear the halls ahead. I'm taking her to my quarters." I saw the shock on his face briefly before he nodded and walked back out of the room. Was it a bad idea to take her to my bed right now? Yeah. Yet I couldn't leave her here like this. Not after that.
