Temptation

“Lily? Talk to me! Did he hurt you?” Sam pressed. He urgently started inspecting her body for any marks or cuts, but she wriggled out of his arms.

“Stop. You should go,” she murmured. She comforted herself by crossing her arms, holding herself together.

“No,” he grimaced. “I… I had come to apologize and then… I just have to make sure that you’re safe..”

“And why would you care, Sam? After everything you’ve put me through! I’m just a toy to you!” Lily cried out.

“I… I do care. I’m just…”

“And do you see now? Charles is a monster! And you… you are a monster for allowing him to terrorize the people of your house!”

“Lily! I know! I’m a complete fool! I do see,” he admitted, grabbing her shoulders. “I see it all so clearly now… I… I will help you stop him, I just… I don’t know how yet…”

“You will?” She softened hearing that he finally saw reason.

“Yes… we will figure it out together but you must promise me you won’t do anything else without me. He’s clearly more dangerous than I ever knew and I can’t risk anything happening to you.”

“Yeah… so you can f*ck your pawn all you want,” she muttered under her breath.

“Lily… I never should have said that…”

“Then why the hell did you?” she snapped.

“I… I’m sorry… You just… You frustrate me, okay?” he huffed.

“What?” she gasped.

“No other woman has ever resisted me the way you do and then you just gave in… and I felt like s**t for that. And then… I didn’t mean for it to go that way. I just didn’t think I deserved you after that.”

“You didn’t expect me to give in?” Lily bit her lip, her cheeks flushing a pale pink. She was almost amused at this semblance of humility. This gorgeous man didn’t know his own power…for once. She relished in the thought.

“Well you made it this far…” he chuckled, running his hand through his hair. Lily looked away from him, afraid she’d lose her will again as he stood there, handsome as he was. He closed the gap between them, putting a finger under her chin. He lifted her face to meet his and she stared back into his eyes. She couldn’t fight this all over again, especially with him knowing she lost last time. However wounded his ego may be, he still got her to give in and now he regained his power.

“Lily…I want you,” he whispered, his breath tickling her lips. It was intoxicating.

“Sam, we can’t,” she mumbled, her eyes dancing from his eyes to his lips.

“Why not?” He brushed her hair behind her ear, holding her cheek. The way he left his mouth slightly open and was looking down at her was driving her mad with desire.

“We aren’t married yet… It wouldn’t be r-“

Sam pressed his lips into hers, cutting her off mid sentence. Her knees buckled and Sam held onto her, opening his mouth to caress her tongue with his own. Lily lost herself in him, her l**t blazing like a fire inside of her. Her hands instinctively reached up to touch his chest and she felt his thick muscles flexing at her touch beneath his shirt. She could taste the wine he had been drinking earlier, a delicious full body red with a hint of strawberries. She moaned against his mouth and his hands moved into her hair, pulling her head back. His lips trailed down her neck, sucking and kissing her collarbone. His five o’clock shadow tickled her soft skin. He kept one hand in her hair and used his other to grip her waist close to him.

“Sam,” she moaned. “We can’t…”

He groaned and pulled back, both of them breathless. His lower body was still pressed against her and she could feel his hard arousal through their clothes.

“But everyone knows who I am,” he said, leaning in to continue his downward trail of kisses until his lips were at the top of her left breast. Her s*x throbbed at his gentle seduction, begging her to let him continue. But she held herself strong and gently pushed him back.

“You are trying to be better…aren’t you?”

“Ugh, yes, you’re right… I guess I can wait three more days. And you better not try to stop me then,” he teased.

“Yes, my lord,” she whispered, trying to hide her shy smile. Her body was aching for him but he kissed her on the forehead and detached himself from her. She didn’t want to let him go but knew the anticipation would be deliciously worth it. How was she to think about anything else but him until their wedding night? She quietly cursed herself for her morality, given that she too wasn’t a virgin and it certainly wasn’t taboo to have s*x before marriage back home. But she wasn’t at home and she wanted to play by the rules, however tempting they were to break.

“Goodnight, my lady,” he said, turning to leave. She fought every impassioned urge to stop him and watched him leave, the desire still echoing throughout her body. She turned toward her bed and bit her lip, excited by the knowledge that Sam wanted her as bad as she wanted him.

She slowly peeled off her clothes and undergarments, imagining his hands instead of her own. She peeled off her stockings and her n***d body shivered in the chill of night. She blew out all the candles in the room and slipped into her soft sheets. She lay there, once again trying to picture what Sam looked like under his clothes. Her hands had a mind of their own, running up and down her thighs. They found their way to her most sensitive spot and she massaged it softly, quietly moaning as she fully awakened her s*xuality.

She closed her eyes, relaxing into this renewed sensation she hadn’t felt in years. She swirled her fingers rhythmically and steady, climbing a beautiful height of desire. Sam was all she could think about, his lips, his hands, and the bulge she felt against her hip. She could tell he was big and juice flowed from within her as she approached her c****x. Three days and I give myself to you, she thought and it sent her trembling into a wave of glowing o****m. She suppressed her urge to cry out and it quickly became too sensitive to touch anymore. Her chest heaved up and down in the fall back to normal as she lay there in ecstasy.

———————————————————————

She woke the next morning unsure of when she fell asleep but realized she hadn’t slept n***d before. She liked the way the sheets felt on her bare skin but she knew Poppy could come in at any time with her breakfast. She hopped out of bed and searched for her shift in the dimly lit room. Just as she found it and slipped it on, the door opened and in walked Poppy with her breakfast.

“Lily, you’re up already? Everything alright?”

“Uh, yes. Just… I slept n***d,” Lily giggled. “I didn’t want you to see.”

“I’ve seen it before, you know,” Poppy rolled her eyes, laughing. She set the breakfast tray on the bed. This morning’s cuisine was sunny side up eggs, strawberries, and a big link of sausage. Lily’s eyes widened at the sausage, thinking of Sam. I’ve gone mad, she thought.

“Breakfast looks nice today, doesn't it?” Poppy teased, noticing her reaction.

“Mhm,” Lily giggled.

“Okay, you slept n***d and you’re making eyes at the sausage, what is going on?!”

“I… Sam kissed me last night,” Lily gushed.

“What?! That’s great! Right? I mean, of course it’s great! You’re glowing with glee!”

“I don’t… I mean…”

“It was just a kiss, right? You didn’t sleep together, did you?”

“No! No, nothing like that. But… I wanted to. I… He makes me crazy…”

“Do you love him?”

“No! No… no. He’s just… hot,” Lily laughed.

“Hot… temperature?”

“No, like sexy. Alluring.”

“Oh, I see,” Poppy said, smirking. “He’s growing on you.”

“No, he’s still a thorn in my side. But… perhaps I can try to enjoy him a little while I’m here.”

Poppy nodded her head, still smirking as Lily began to eat her food. Lily frowned, remembering her encounter with Charles and began filling Poppy in on everything that happened in the library. She offered her part of the breakfast as she told her all the gory details.

“I’m so sorry all that happened to you…but you said Sam is going to help us now?” Poppy asked, holding on to a strawberry, too engrossed to eat. Lily nodded.

“We have to wait for him to figure out what to do, but yes. He’s in.”

“That’s great! Terrible what had to happen to convince him… but what great news! With the lord helping us, Rose’s engagement will be over in no time!”

Poppy relaxed enough to finally eat her strawberry and Lily encouraged her to take more. As they continued chatting, a soft knock sounded at the door and Sam let himself in. Poppy dropped a strawberry stem and snapped up off the bed and bowed her head, terrified of some punishment Sam might deal out.

“Good morning, Lily. Relax, maid. No troubles today could soil my mood,” Sam crooned. Poppy side eyed Lily with a smirk, but remained still just in case.

“Poppy, her name is Poppy, Sam,” Lily corrected, with a daring smile.

“Oh, my apologies Poppy. Is that better, my darling?”

“Yes, my lord,” Lily chirped. Poppy was shocked at the interaction but Sam gestured for her to sit back down and so she nervously obliged him.

“I hope you’re both enjoying your breakfast. I wanted to come and say goodbye before I left. I am off to hunt for our wedding meal and won’t be back until tomorrow afternoon, evening latest depending.”

“I see. I wish you luck then, my lord,” Lily said, rising to her feet forgetting she was just in her shift. Her n*****s poked through the thin material and Sam grinned but tried to keep his eyes up. Lily seemed to notice and quickly reached for a nearby robe.

“Heh, thank you… And while I’m away, the village is throwing a celebration festival this afternoon for our union. You and Poppy should go. You’ll get to meet your new subjects.”

“Sounds fun!” Lily turned to Poppy and c****d her head to the side with a tight lipped smile. Poppy nodded along in agreement.

“And… Charles is also coming along for the hunt so you need not worry about him. My mother will be overseeing things while we are away since you are not officially the lady yet.”

“Oh good, I’m definitely not ready to be in charge of anything,” Lily nervously laughed.

“Right well, enjoy your day. I will see you tomorrow. Then we’ll only have one more night,” Sam winked, grabbing her hand to kiss her knuckles. Lily couldn’t help blushing against the touch of his lips.

After he left, the girls finished the rest of the breakfast and excitedly got ready for the festival.
