-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
-Karen-I woke up later to Conor holding me tightly in his arms. He was asleep and the fire was slowly dying. It was nighttime. I must have slept all day. That really sent me off the cliff. I caressed his cheek like he liked and watched his lips curl up into a small smile. He opened his right eye and peeked at me. “Hey beautiful.” He cupped my cheek and rubbed my lips with his thumb. “Are you alright? And if not, what can I do to get you back to being well?”I leaned down and kissed him deeply. “I’m sorry-” I started to apologize when he stopped me.“No… Don’t apologize, honey. I just want you to be okay.” He murmured with a warm smile. “I want to see you smile and know that you’re going to be alright.” I curled up and hugged him tightly. He kissed my forehead and then my lips. I think I will be- Even if it takes a while. “Make out with me?” He suggested with his boyish grin. I want to but my face is all wet.“You want to make out with a soppy flower?” I asked with a raised eyebrow. I
-Karen-I tried to scramble away from him, but he pounced on me and started tickling me all over again. I yelled for him to stop but he pinned me to the bed and tickled me for thirty minutes until we were laughing and breathing so hard, we coughed repeatedly. He spanked my butt twice and then pulled me into his lap and started kissing me all over again. He is fun! Really fun! And these kisses, it’s like a fire in my veins. There’s no other way to describe this sensation.“Kay…” Conor whispered my name in my ear. I looked over at him from the corner of my eye and we kissed again. “We should probably go to bed soon…” I frowned while he laughed. “Don’t give me that look.” Fine. How about this then! I pouted at him. He laughed again and then kissed me deeply. “Come on you sexy woman. Bedtime.” I sighed and got off his lap, crawling up to the pillows. We cuddled down together falling asleep in each other’s arms.I woke up before him the next day and decided to experiment with what I had le
-Karen-Now that I was going to break out of my comfort zone, I nodded and left the main room quietly. I grabbed a simple looking violet dress with a small ruffle over the bust and slippers since the ground was particularly cold today. I joined him in the shower a few minutes later. Conor had already gotten the water running and towels out for us. I can’t believe I’m going to shower with a man. Forget he’s a prince- He’s so handsome… And the way I felt when he was moving against me. I felt my cheeks get hot.“Hey!” Conor snapped his fingers in my face trying to get my attention. “Are you sure you’re okay? You were just staring at me. Do you want to lay down for a bit?” He took my clothes, set them on the counter and then focused back on me.“I’m fine… I was just lost in thought is all.” I answered trying not to let my emotions trip me up. “I- I just liked the way I felt.” A lot! I trailed off as I carefully undressed in front of him. I want to feel that way again! He kissed my hair a
