The honeymoon
1053 Words
Leviathan was determined to get back to his castle as soon as possible so we did not stop.
we rode all afternoon, night and day.
Fortunately for me, he was restless by night fall, so he got out and rode his horse the rest of the way.
When at last we arrived, I was tired and dishevelled.The carriage door opened, and there he stood with a boyish smile. In the whole two days I'd known him it was the first time I'd seen him smile.
Behind him was a stone castle, grey and dreary in compassion to my father's sparkling sandstone one.
but this on was twice the size and seemed to be carved from the mountain itself.
"Come," He held out his hand to help me down.
as I stepped down, I felt cold, wet patches landing on my bare shoulders and face.
"What is this?" I held my hand out, catching the small white things.
"It's snow. It only stops during summer at the end of the year." Leviathan led me up the stairs to the castle.
"Our living quarters are in the top west turrets." He pointed up and across, I could just make out the warm glow of candles in the windows.
I followed him into a very small room, to which he closed the door and rung a bell.
I yelled out as we began to shift upwards.
"It's okay, it's quicker to use this than the stair." he looked me up and down, "I have asked some maids to make a bath for you and leave a night gown out for you. Then you'll come to bed." He helped me out of the small room and back into a corridor.
We came to a black oak door which burst open, a small maid bowed and moved out the way before she nearly ran into us.
"You can help your new queen bath and then show her to my bedroom." He ordered sternly.
I sat in a tub, up to my chin in hot water scented with rose oil and petals.
The maid silently washed my body and then my hair before she filed back my nails and motioned for me to step out of the tub. Then she dried me off and brushed my hair.
"What's that?" I asked as she rubbed a sweet smelling oil all over my body. I flinched in surprise when he even rubbed it between my legs and on my n*****s.
"Tis elderberry essence, your grace." she whispered.
Then she picked up a sheer shift that was all but see-through. it had no sleeves and not much of a neckline. just two straps of lace that went over my shoulders and down my back. and even then the length only came down to my mid thigh.
"Is this what you call a night gown?"
I glared across the room at Leviathan who was seated at his desk. I had to speak through my teeth to stop them from chattering as it was so cold.
"Yes, it is." He stood and walked towards me.
"So, what will you have me do now?" I looked up at him from beneath my lashes.
"I can see you're afraid, but you don't have to be." he sat on the bed and beckoned for me to follow him, "I will not force myself on you," He took my hand in his.
"really?"
"Yes, I plan to make you want me, after all we have six weeks and nothing else to do."
I knew it couldn't have been that simple.
"What if I never want you?"
"Why wouldn't you?" he asked as he poured wine into two glass goblets before handing one to me.
"Because you're old, much older than me." I watched him think for a second.
"So? I've got experience." he chuckled.
"You're no fun," I lowered my gaze, hoping my demure body language would deter him from getting angry.
"I can be, once you get to know me." He finished his drink.
"I don't love you," I flatly stated before I pushed myself against the head board of the bed and slipped beneath the covers.
"Not yet," Leviathan stood beside the bed and slowly stripped off his clothes. I couldn't help but watch his hard toned body move. Once his hands reached for his belt I rolled over to face the wall, my cheeks burnt from embarrassment.
"You really are untouched." he seemed flattered by my embarrassment.
"Of course I am!"
"I've only ever been with whores," he admitted.
"Well, that's lovely to know I'll most likely contract some awful disease." I scoffed.
"Not to worry darling, I've been thoroughly examined and I'm the picture of health." I could hear his smirk.
The warmth of his body beckoned me all night, the cold now environment didn't agree with me but my will was stronger than my need to be warm. I slept right on the edge of the bed all night.
when I awoke Leviathan stood infront if the fire, stretching out completely naked I could see his bare back and bottom. When he turned to look at me I could stop myself from gawking at his manhood.
It was thick and quite long, with a thick bush of black curly hair around it. I never seen one before, but for some reason I thought it'd look more... pretty? In reality it was large, veiney and scary.
"Would you like to hold it?" He gave me a wicked look.
"No!" I gasped disgusted.
I bet that Reed's manhood was pretty unlike his.
"So, where's my clothes?" I asked looking around.
"You have none, it's normal for the bride to have no clothes for the first two weeks."
"Why not? what if I want to go outside?"
"It's custom to not leave the room for two weeks. My ancestors have all had quite a lot of stamina. And you also need all new gowns to cope with the weather here."
"great, so what is there to do?" I looked around for a sewing kit or a board game.
"Nothing, but I have a game we can play."
"What's it called?"
"I don't have a name for it but I can tell you how it works."
"Okay how does it work?" I sighed and took the bait.
