Risque Chapter ahead.

This chapter contains suggestive themes. Please skip if this might be a potential trigger.

Asai sat in his chair listening to the unfiltered version of what happened. It turns out he lost almost 2 years worth of memory. Sanna is lucky he remembers her. His last memory is a few days after the ceremony between him and Sanna. He briefly grieved the loss of Nymerah and was genuinely shocked at the fact that someone was able to reduce the mountain to rubble. He was also vexed at his brother for falling under the spell of the queen. I could see that some trust between the two brothers was lost when Ramune admitted he was close to sexually assaulting me. He was impressed with us, however, for defending a major city with a lot of luck and barely a cent to spend. He commented on the titles that I have, saying that they were overly obnoxious. I agreed. Finally, we carefully explained to him how he ended up in this state.

“Is that all?” Asai asked.

We nodded our heads.

“Why did I agree to let you leave?” Asai asked me.

“I’m not from this world. I have obligations back in my home world.” I explained to him.

“You were born here” Asai argued.

“I wasn’t raised here. My family isn’t here.” I argued back.

“If it’s a family you want, I’m sure we could pop a few pups out in a couple years.” Asai stated.

I gagged on air at the thought. Keylyn and Ramune both promptly excused themselves their part of the story already told and explained.

“So we have a few pups. Their lives will be in danger the moment they are conceived in my belly. To worry if I’m going to wake up and find my baby poisoned or with a cut throat is not something I want. To live in fear constantly for their life, my life, your life, because a deranged queen has plans to see her line on the throne.”

Silence. Asai looks at me intently.

I continued, “I can’t stay in this world partly because the Queen wants to sacrifice me, and the other thing is because… I was violently ripped away from my world. My people have no idea where I am and if I’m okay. Another part of me does want to stay in this world with you and with the people I have grown close to.”

Asai’s eyes softened. He approached me slowly, still wobbly from being immobile in bed for three weeks. “So you’re saying once the Queen is stopped you will consider staying in this world.”

I rubbed my temples. “I honestly don’t know. I’ve been going back and forth. My dad wants me to leave. I want to see my family again, but I also want to be by your side. I’m conflicted, I just…. I just need a minute to decide. I have 18 months before the portal re-opens. I’ll make a choice when the time comes.”

Asai nods his head. “I’m sorry that I forgot you”

“It’s okay” I said. It’s not okay, I thought.

Asai caressed the side of my cheek, my ear, my neck, then down to my shoulders and collar bone. He repeated the same motion on the other side of my face.

“My body tingles when I’m near you. My body, my heart has not forgotten you.” Asai whispers in my ear

A shiver ran down my spine, his breath hot on my skin, setting off a chain reaction throughout my body. Before my mind could weave a coherent thought, the feeling of Asai’s lips were on mine. His kiss is a lot stronger and more demanding than normal. I can feel his strength, his control, his desire. Our bodies react to each other. We both fed off our need for each other, the desire to want to be close, and closer still.

“Your lips are familiar, the smoothness of your skin, the presence you hold, the smell on your neck.”

We were on the bed weaving in and out of each other. He pushed my skirts out of the way and I froze, coming to my senses. I placed a hand on his chest and gave him a slight push. Asai growled in frustration but got the hint and stopped. He didn’t remove himself from his position between my legs, he instead just stared down at me.

“Everything about you is familiar. It’s frustrating that I’ve lost the image of you. The thought of having to let you go in a few months is maddening to me.”

I caressed his face with the back of my hand. He shifted his position slightly, the heat of him too close for comfort.

“I don’t trust your baby maker to be so close to my uterus, especially after your popping out a few pups comment.”

Asai chuckled and shifted his body further down the bed. His head rested on my stomach as he lightly traced patterns on the side of my leg.

“I would like to relearn you” he said

I nodded and played in the waves of his hair.

His name caught in my throat as I threw back my head in bliss. I wanted to tell him to wait to tell him to stop but the words didn’t come. Truthfully, I didn’t want to say them. My fingers tangled tightly in his hair, pulling him closer, holding him where I needed him to be. Asai growled in approval, his arms curled around the back of my thighs in an effort to keep me still. I began to squirm even more as the nerves in my lower body began to seize and then go off. My back arched, my toes curled and I screamed to the heavens as pure energy that built up was released throughout my entire body.

What the heck was that? I thought confused, breathing heavily. I looked down at Asai kissing the inside of my thigh, blushing as I realized what had happened.

“You're a virgin” he stated,

I kicked him away.

Asai laughed heartily as he restrained my frenzied kicks of embarrassment, with no effort. I thought he wanted to have a conversation! Not put his mouth on me.

Asai made his way back up to my lips. I felt him at my entrance and immediately reacted. I flipped him onto his back and grabbed hold of him like he taught me. He laughed at my antics but didn’t protest. His fingers dug into my hips as he enjoyed his time. Just as he did with me, I was slow, careful, diligent. I took my time with him, enjoying the view I had of him in my control. I briefly wondered if life would be like this if I stayed, but I quieted the thought and instead just focused on the moment. I looked up towards the canopy of the bed as a stream of white routed from between my hands. Asai shuddered as he released himself.

He sat up with me in his arms around my waist, holding onto me with a level of possessiveness that I’m not used to. His hold is firm and tight, but not so tight that I couldn’t wiggle my way out. This action alone has me believing that he will not let me go.

“That’s not going to satisfy us forever, you know”. He teased

“It’s fine for now”, I crossed my arms in defiance. I tried to put some space between us but Asai was not having it.

“Are you afraid of me?” Asai asked. His hands moved down below my waist to cup my butt

“Heck yes! Look at that!” I pointed “I’m not ready.”

Asai threw his head back and laughed. Bits of the old Asai that I knew came through. His right hand began to snake its way up my spine towards the clasp that kept my chest covered. In an attempt to distract him, I diverted his hand towards my mouth and began kissing his fingers.

“We won’t know until we try”. Asai pushed himself up against my belly.

“You gotta be kidding me” I said.

Asai smiled mischievously, he bit my lips as he guided my hands around him once more. The pads of his fingers found their way between my thighs and began to massage the sensitive area. Our eyes never broke contact as we both watched the others' pleasure increasing, building, peaking. Even as my body began to convulse, I never let go of him or broke the connection, just held him closer to me.

I touched his tip, curious to see if he would stand up again.

Asai chuckled and moved my hands away. “He is satisfied for now.”

Asai hugged me close to him and inhaled. He stiffened for a moment, then relaxed again.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“I’m sorry if I was a little pushy earlier,” he said.

“When I heard the part where my brother stole you, I got upset and had thoughts of him having you. I was frustrated because I couldn’t remember being close to you. I wanted to be close to you.”

“It was close. His resolve not to touch me was broken due to his exhaustion. But in the end nothing happened” I said firmly, leaving out the nitty-gritty details of that night.

Asai removed his face from my hair a small smile on his lips. “If he had touched you your body would have reacted differently to my touch, and your skin would have smelled differently.”

“Asai!” I yelled, hitting him with the nearest thing, a pillow.

Asai allowed Keylyn and the others to return to the room for lunch, including Sanna, who immediately attached herself to Asai. One sniff of him, however, and she shot me a look of anger and jealousy.

“Interesting” Keylyn commented, looking between Asai and I.

“My lady, why don’t we change your dress” Galga said, trying to hide her amusement.

I nodded quickly, taking the out that she provided. Once we were out of the bedroom and a little way down the hall she turned to me. “You and Asai smell like…each other.”

I blushed. All we did was touch and kiss each other.

Galga patted my head. “I’ll oil you down to mask the smell and change your dress so that Sanna doesn't get mad with envy.”

I buried my face in my hands, my face hot with embarrassment.
