Nadine Book 5

13. Parade

"Welcome everyone. Come on in, and then we will move to the parade start point. Emma baby, move out the way. You're to close to the door."

"Make Tye ride with you. I want a princess only carriage."

"I'm not riding with mom and dad. I'm to old. I want to ride with my princess."

"EMMA. You will ride with me and your mother."

"I want a princess only carriage daddy."

Clarice shakes her head. "Tye has to ride with Nadine sweetie. Maybe another time you 2 can do a carriage ride together in a parade. But it can not be today."

"Fine. But can I ride with them instead?"

"No. You are our daughter. You have to ride with us."

"But you're so old. They'll be fun."

Tye cracks up laughing and gives me a hug. I can tell he's trying to stop.

"We won't be that fun. We have to be behaved and royal. Same as your parents."

"I miss Tye."

He gets down on 1 knee. "I miss you too, Emma. How about after this is done, me and you have a tea party like we use to? Does that sound fun?"

"YES."

"You know, I bet she would like pizza. You could take one of those to your tea party."

"What's that?"

"It's food. And garlic bread. Oh, and ice cream. With chocolate sauce. And cake."

"Are you hungry baby?"

"That would be good for a tea party. But yea, kind of."

"It would be good for a 7-course feast woman. Why didn't you eat?"

"I did."

Mary shakes her head. "She's not eating again."

Dipak crosses his arms. "We'll get you something at the theater. Let's go before we have any more princess issues."

Tye and I are nearly at the back of the parade. It's fun watching them get ready and walk out the door. Then the king and queen go with Emma on a carriage. Then a couple more groups go and the decorated carriages. After that, he helps me on our carriage.

"It's a big step."

"How do you not fall off this?"

"Stand in the middle. The paths are good here. It's not bumpy. Maybe a little one here and there, but not bad."

He guides me to the middle of the carriage.

Mary fixes my dress and hair. "You'll do fine. Don't fall off. But if you do, I'm sure Tre will pick you up and throw you back up here."

"That's why I'm back here. I can catch."

"Well, don't miss. I don't want her landing in horse shit."

All of them laugh.

"Laugh all you want. But we know you're the mate that would have to give her a bath."

"I will pass that job on to you, Mary."

"No, I'm out of that phase. It's for you boys now."

Marcus rubs his eyes. "I don't do horse shit."

Tye shakes his head.

"Well, someone has to fix me."

"I'll throw you in the river sweetheart. Remember the time the pissed off boar puked on you? We weren't going to let you sit like that. We'll take care of you. Don't worry about that."

"I did not like that."

"Neither did we, baby."

"Oh get me down Tre. The king's guard went out." Mary jumps at Tre.

We exit the big doors and everyone screams. They are jumping and yelling. They are so loud I can't hear what anyone is saying.

A guy tries to get to us and one of the guards punches him in the face and knocks him back.

Tye puts his hand on my lower back and pulls me into him. "You're alright."

"This is neat."

"They don't get this loud for me. They like you."

"They like us together."

He kisses my head. The crowd goes insane. They throw flowers at us and scream. I can hear some of them screaming "Princess." But everything is coming from everywhere.

Tye picks up one of the flowers off the carriage and hands it to me.

"Thank you for my flower sir. I'll show you my boobs later."

"Yea, this isn't a real good time."

"I'll even let you touch them."

"That sounds like the best plan ever."

The carriage hits a bump and almost fall. I grab for him.

He pulls me right up against him. "I won't let you go anywhere babydoll." The crowd gets even louder. There is no way they can hear what we're saying. They must like him touching me.

I wrap my arm around him and lay my head on his shoulder.

"Girls."

He lays his head on mine. Then he kisses it. "They're past."

A little girl waves at me and I wave back to her. She jumps up and down. I wave to a couple of other kids and point them out to Tye. He waves to some of them too. Then we get to the theater.

We find our seats and snuggle together.

"That was a lot different than the first time I saw you in a parade, sir."

"That pissed me off seeing you on the path like that. And then you tried to hide your face from me, so I wouldn't be able to tell it was you. I nearly pulled you up on the carriage with me that day too."

"That would have been hard to explain."

"I wanted you so much. I still do, but back then it seemed like I didn't have any chance. Then I find you watching my parade and you wrap your arms around me. I loved that. I know it was only a hug. But I loved it so much."

"Me too. I always loved seeing you or touching you. I was addicted to you after that first dance. Then you showed up and put my bracelet on me. Sparks shot up my arm. I'll never forget that. It nearly killed me when I told you I already had my mate."

"Did you have 2 then?"

"No, only Dipak."

"Tre was right there too."

"If I remember right, it wasn't that long after when I found out they were both mine. I'm not sure. It was so long ago."

"No, I mean he was right there ready to kill me too."

"He was always protective. Ever since we were kids. Nothing would have changed that. No matter what."

"Stop talking about me woman. And yes, I would have killed you. To bad, we didn't have the arena then. I would have thrown you farther than you threw Elek."

I smirk. "Drunk dragon races and boy throwing."

I lay my head on Tye's shoulder and the crowd cheers.

I snuggle into Tye and he kisses my head. I pull the front pins out of the veil and toss it over his head too. He gives me a kiss. The crowd screams and cheers again.

He puts his hands on my waist and pulls me closer. He gives me a deep kiss.

"TYE ASHTON YANIN."

We fix ourselves. "Sorry mom, didn't know you were here."

"I got here before you, Tye."

"I forgot."

She sits back down. "Every time."

We behave for the first half of the play. Then I tease him. My hand roams to his neck and I scratch his marking spot. I feel him tense, then his hand tightens on me.

He leans over and moves my veil. Then he kisses my marking spot. It sends a wave of pleasure through me. I throw my veil over his head, and we kiss deeper. I put my legs over one of his. I feel his hand go over my boob as he goes for my waist again. The crowd cheers. He tightens his grip on me and pulls me closer. "f**k I want you."

"Me too."

He gives me a deep kiss.

I hear Samson. "Teenagers are bored again."

"TYE ASHTON."

We fix ourselves. "Sorry mom."

After about 10 minutes, he kisses my marking spot again. Then he whispers in my ear. "Think I can get you going enough to make you c*m right here?"

I shake my head really fast.

"I don't know. I've got those eyes dark already."

"Someone will see."

"No one is paying attention to us."

I throw the veil over his head and kiss him. Then I bite his lip. I kiss his jaw and onto his marking spot. "Maybe I can get you going that much sir."

"I'd rather not have that much of a mess for a parade babydoll." He kisses my marking spot again. Then he draws his fangs right by it.

My hands clench on him and pleasure shoots threw me.

"I need you soon babydoll." He gives it another kiss. "I think you need it too. You want to be my w***e behind some building somewhere?"

"Yes please."

He gives me a deep kiss. "I'll take you out tonight. Somewhere not here. Then I will f**k the hell out of you. Behind some random building. I'll f**k that pretty mouth. Then I'll bend you over, and give you as much as you want."

I give him a deep kiss. f**k I need him. I clench my legs together to stop some of the pressure.

"You're ready for me, aren't you?"

"Yes please."

"I love you so much babydoll."

"I love you too but..." I point to the village.

"You're going to have to wait a little bit."

I shake my head. "But no."

"I promise I'll make it worth your wait." He gives me a sweet kiss.

The crowd cheers again. We fix ourselves before we get yelled at.

I snuggle him and giggle. "Tye, your eyes are black."

"So are yours." He winks at me. "Tonight's going to be fun."

We snuggle for a few minutes and then Tye's mom tells us it's time to go back.

"Can we do a princess only carriage this time?"

Tye smiles. "We can't, Emma. I need to stay with Nadine. How about you come with me in the parade tomorrow afternoon? The 2 o'clock one. We'll get dressed up and do the parade together?"

Dipak nods. "We can put security on her."

"I'll come early, and we can have lunch first."

She jumps up and down.

I snuggle Tye. "You're a good brother."

He kisses my head.

Extreme sadness floods me. I stare at the ground and try not to have tears. I close my eyes and take a breath.

I open my eyes and all my mates are around me.

Dipak smiles. "I would definitely win the boy throwing event."

"Whatever. You probably couldn't even throw Elek as far as I did."

"Forget Elek, I'll throw you."

Tre smirks. "He does deserve a few good throws."

I shake my head. "You boys stop. You can't throw him. It's to late. You missed your chance."

Dipak nods. "Fine. We can always take turns throwing Elek I guess."

"Come on."

The boys follow me and Tye gets me back on the carriage. The crowd cheers even louder for us on the way back.
