The last dance

part 11

" Her majesty Queen Delaney ", a servant called from the grand staircase that led down to the ballroom. All the guests turned to look when she made her entrance. Her dress was a stunning shade of emerald green and her pitch-black hair had been styled in beautiful locks, her crown was golden and full of crystallized flowers. This crown had been in her family for generations; her mother and all before her had worn it. She knew that she lived up to her role in the kingdom but, like everybody else, she had heard the rumors of her so called mate and that everyone wondered when he would be crowned king.

Delaney had ordered her guards to do their best in shutting those conversations down.

She took her seat on her throne and watched her guests mingle and talk to each other. Long tables with refreshments had been set up and the orchestra were playing such lovely music. Delaney smiled this, this is how she always wanted it to be. Not hearing the council nag her about taking a husband or having to worry about anything other than her kingdom.

"Your highness " Lord Daelion said and bowed deeply.

Aaand her good mood was gone, how one man could ruin her mood in just a second was beyond her.

" What is it" She hissed.

" I heard that your maid was banished. Why is that, may i ask?" He asked while giving her his false smile.

" You may ask, " She said. " But it is a matter that does not concern you. Now get the hell out of my sight," she said, without even looking at him. Lord Daelion frowned upon her as he left. She was just about to continue enjoying her evening when she smelled him.

Delaney didn't even need to see Damon to know he was in the room, his scent was strong. Her eyes searched the ballroom until she found him standing by the drink table talking to one of her Ladies in waiting. A sick feeling filled her entire body it felt almost like anger. So she quickly made her way over to him.

Her lady in waiting, Amara, saw her first and bowed deeply. It looked like she would fall over any second. Damon turned around and when he saw her, her entire body filled with warmth.

" Lady Amara what a pleasure to see you " Delaney said and gave her a warm smile.

" Your majesty i am honored to be here and it brings me joy to see you " Lady Amara said smiling as she bowed once more then excused herself.

Delaney turned to Damon " follow me, we need to talk " She said then started walking to the throne room. They walked in silence for a few minutes before entering.

Delaney turned towards Damon. " What in the hell are you doing here?! How did you even get i-Alice and Jason are here arent they? " She asked, eyes closed.

" I need to talk to you, why did you just leave? Did i do something wrong?" Damon said.

" Wrong? yes you did something wrong! You and everyone else in your so called pack just assumed that would leave my duties here to come live with you" She half yelled " I am Queen of one of the most powerful kingdoms in existent and you people think i would leave everything for a man?"

Damon only stared at her before making probably the stupidest decision of his life. He kissed her.

Delaney was stunned when she felt the warmth of his lips on hers. He tasted like heaven and when she closed her eyes and kissed him back, it was like her body controlled itself. She couldn't stop, and it seemed he didn't want to either as he grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him.

She dipped her head back slightly, giving him more access. Damon kissed her like she was a lifeline. She had never felt anything like this before, the arousal, the love erupting between them. She just wanted more and more and more.

It was almost as if Damon could read her mind because, before she knew it her dress was on the floor. And he was inside her, each thrust was like heaven, each moan that left her lips made him harder and each thrust became more intense.

She felt as they were the beginning and the end. They were one. So this is what a soulmate was, they were perfectly fitted for each other.

And she never wanted it to end.
