Emperor’s terms,
the ambassador will send word back to them and they will turn
around and go back to Cythera. But if I do not agree to his
demands, they will continue their journey here to claim
Atlantis.”
Magna pulled her hands out of his and
held her right hand up, motioning him to stop talking.
“ There’s no need to
continue. I know my husband well enough to know what decision
you’ve made,” she said as the tears started to roll down her
cheeks.
Looking away from him, she got up from
the chaise and walked over to the window, sobbing harder as she
looked down the mountain and across the land that was her
home.
Crehon rose from the seat, walked over
to her, circled his arms around her waist from behind, and drew her
closer.
There was silence between
them.
“ I’m scared. What if I lose
you Crehon? I can’t live in a world without you.”
“ Please don’t say that. You
have my word everything will be okay. I’ve already spoken to
Atargatis and his guard will rise with us and fight.”
Caressing her arm, he tried to console
her even though deep down he knew there was a possibility he
wouldn’t be able to uphold his promise.
“ You can’t guarantee that
nothing will happen to you,” she cried out as she cupped her hands
over her face and lost what was left of her control.
Crehon turned her around and pulled
her hands away from her face, then placed his finger under her chin
bringing her eyes to meet his.
With the pads of his thumbs, he wiped
away her tears.
He hated to see her cry and he hated
it even worse that he was the cause. But he had to stand up for
what he believed in, no matter the consequences.
Lifting her up in his arms, he carried
her over to their marital bed and laid her across the soft hides.
Slowly climbing above her, he claimed her lips.
She tried to pull away. “I can’t do
this now.”
He gently pulled her face back to his
and recaptured her lips. She tasted so sweet. He needed more of
her. “Let me love you,” he whispered against her lips.
He could see the desire in her eyes,
and she parted her lips allowing him access to explore
her.
Giving in, her tongue met his and she
let out a soft moan. Feeling his growing erection against her
thigh, brought out a wanton response in her, and she started
undulating beneath him.
Releasing her lips, he reached up to
pull the thin white layer of linen off her shoulder, revealing her
right breast. Cupping her perfectly round peak, he captured it in
his mouth and teased her hard little bud with his tongue, pulling
it between his lips. It drove her crazy and he felt her movements
become more frantic.
The scent of citrus on her skin wafted
into his nostrils driving his arousal even further.
Gods, how he wanted
her.
With his other hand he explored lower
until he felt the hem of her tunic and hiked it up higher around
her thighs, revealing her perfect triangle of manicured
curls.
He placed his hand against her sex
using two of his fingers to separate her moist folds.
She arched into him.
“ Undress me,” she
moaned.
He sat her up and helped her pull her
clothing over her head. He tossed it onto the marble floor,
shedding his own clothing afterwards.
Gently, he pushed her back down
against the bedding. Starting at her neck, with slow and
calculating licks, he teased his way down her pale unblemished skin
toward the scent of her arousal.
It called to him. He had to taste her
now.
Placing his hands on the insides of
her legs, he nudged them apart and lowered his body in between
them. He looked up at her mesmerizing emerald green eyes then
dropped his gaze back to his prize. The outside of her sex was
glistening with her desire.
Magna lost control when he took the
first taste of her. She writhed against his mouth, wanting
more.
He stroked his tongue against her pink
folds and felt like a god. Licking upwards he found her engorged
clit and pulled it into his mouth, nearly causing her to leap off
the bed.
She was breathing
