-Karen-He chuckled while he caressed my left cheek. “You’re my princess.” I started to object but he silenced me with a kiss. “If you agree to be my companion, when I am King, I will make you one. So, then you’ll really be my princess.” I opened my mouth to protest but he pulled me to him and kissed me several times. “Nope. Not a word. You don’t really ask for anything… That makes me want to shower you with anything I can get my hands on. Everything!” I giggled. “But you’ve already done enough for me, Conor. I can't ask you for anything else. That would be greedy and rude.” I cupped his face as I leaned in and kissed him slowly. “Enough.” We kissed passionately for several minutes. He smirked deviously. “No! You better not!” I snapped as he laughed heartily.“You can’t tell me what to do, Kay. I’m the prince remember?” He whispered against my lips. I gave him another dirty look as we laughed.“I hate when you use that on me.” I glowered with a pout. Cocky jerk.“That’s the only way
-Karen-Oh! Yes. Joanne didn’t exactly explain the other part. I nodded as I pulled back from him. “I do actually. Explain to me, if you don’t mind, what is really supposed to happen between lovers. I know Joanne said she is loud with Bart but that’s all I got from her. I don’t know anything else beyond that.” I asked curiously. I mean I’m practically stupid when it comes to that. Like I know more about butchering a chicken then being with someone.“The intimate part?” I nodded and watched his expression. “It’s never supposed to hurt. Accidents can happen if you’re not paying attention but, ideally, the whole act should be nothing but pleasure for both of us.” He smirked at that. “It should make you feel so much all at once and at the same time, it allows you to connect and bond with your lover. It deepens the bond so much further than just spending time together. Like for instance, I want to teach you to dance and I want you to teach me how to sew, right?” I nodded as I followed alon
-Karen-I woke up in the big bed alone wondering if I would always have these sweet nights with Conor. The lullaby he hummed to me was so soothing and it made me feel elated. Conor William Victor. He’s really something else! I sat up trying to wake up quickly when Bart and Joanne came through the doors. Joanne was carrying a tray as they smiled warmly at me.“Morning Kay! Hope you’re feeling alright!” Joanne inquired kindly while I stretched and yawned. I stood up and walked over to the table as Bart and Joanne smirked. They already know. No question by the looks on their faces.“We heard you accepted his offer.” Bart said as he and Joanne traded warm smiles. “We think you made a wonderful choice.” I dug into breakfast hungrily and devoured the bacon as soon as I saw it. I made Joanne burst out laughing while Bart chuckled with amusement. After I ate, I was full and sleepy all over again. I could use another nap.“He stayed in our apartment last night.” Joanne explained with a bigger
-Karen-I turned back and straightened up the bed and picked out his clothes. Next I started getting the towels and soaps ready. “Kay! You don’t have to do that you know?” Joanne called from the main room. I rolled my eyes and continued trying to make sure that he would have everything he needed for his shower. I’m his servant- Yes, I do! Undergarments. Pants and shirt. Body towel, hair towel, soap and shampoo. And the conditioner- I think that’s it?I dried the floor with the towel from my shower. As I crossed the main room into the armoire room, I dropped the used towel into the small basket. I opened the door to look myself over in the new mirror. I tightened the sash in the back and flounced my hair. I shut the armoire door when I heard the main door open. I bolted to the door as Conor walked through. As soon as he shut the door, I pounced on him and hugged him tightly.“I missed you!” I whispered as he hugged me back tightly.“Not as much as I missed you!” Conor said kissing me r
-Karen-Over the next four days, Conor had meetings after the drills so Joanne and Bart, when they could, stayed with me. I had managed to talk Joanne into going with me to our library, so I could read up on the Mage books. I figured since I had so much time, I could brush up on the spell portions of my magic even if I couldn’t cast anything. I miss my magic. I feel like I’ll never use it again at this rate. She found a book on Mazifikian culture and decided to read it while I studied. So many spells and all for different things. Memory suppression… Maybe I could figure out a way to forget the bad things that have happened. I could change my hair to a different color too! What color should I pick? Maybe black as pitch? After a few hours, I had gotten caught up in my studies and found Joanne asleep on the plushy couch. On the fifth day, Conor surprised the three of us when he came back from drills early. “Welcome home!” I squealed as I bolted to him and hugged him tightly. I heard Joa
-Karen-I heard him stomp off in a different direction, but I stayed next to the door trying to calm down. I felt my heart race and my left arm started to hurt within a few minutes. Pains started to stab my muscles in my neck and so many scary memories hit me like a wall of bricks. I left the room and went to the armoire. Hastily, I curled up in a ball and shut the door, crying softly, trying to calm down as fast as I could. I have to breath. I have to! I feel like I can’t though. “Karen?” Conor called for me from the main room, but I felt like my joints were locked. I was still really on edge from that short encounter and it made me feel sick to my stomach. “Kay? Where’d you go?” I could hear Conor come into this room and then a second later the doors to the armoire opened. I scrunched down trying to make myself as small as possible.“Kay, what’s wrong, love?” Conor was gentle as he pulled me from the armoire. I cried so hard clinging to him forgetting to breathe a couple of times.
-Karen-I woke up before Conor the next morning. We were tangled up and I tried to carefully get up, so I could get breakfast ordered. I managed to sit up before he pulled me back to him and squeezed me tightly. I heard him mumble about wanting to kill Lewis for yesterday’s events. I tried again to get up and got as far as almost sitting up when he pulled me back and rolled over on me kissing me without relent. “Bad woman.” He whispered in my ear as I giggled. “But breakfast? Aren’t you hungry?” I asked him softly kissing his cheek.He snickered and then said, “What I’m hungry for is something I can’t eat.” We traded glances and chuckled together. “I’m hungry for some amazing kisses from my sexy Mage.”“Oh well… I can completely satisfy that hunger.” I whispered back to him. “I think.”“Can you? I wanna see you try.” He challenged me with a devious smirk. I happily rose to the challenge. “Challenge accepted.” I murmured against his lips. I kissed him without surrender unwilling to
-Karen-We went and changed into fresh bed clothes, but I lingered at the armoire trying to figure out what I could do to make him feel better about the future. After a few moments, I felt like I was being watched but figured I was just tired. I twirled my hair around my finger in hopes of distracting myself. I watched Conor approach me in the mirror. He slipped his arms around me and pulled me away from the armoire.“Bedtime, my flower.” He whispered softly. I wrapped an arm around his neck as he picked me up and carried me to our bed. I kissed him sweetly as he carried me with ease. He dropped me on the bed and then tickled me for several minutes. I crawled away from him as quickly as could. “You’re a fun girl. Not as wild as I first thought though.” Conor mused as he got in between the blankets. He thought I was wild? And probably untameable too. He patted the pillow next to him while I gave him a suspicious look. “Come on brat. You know you want to snuggle with me.” He said with h
