*** WARNING: This Chapter Has Descriptive And Graphic Sexual Content. Viewer Discretion Is Advised***

Warmth enveloped Skye as she awoke to the chirpy noises of birds outside an unfamiliar window. It took her a moment to remember her night, and why a large arm was wrapped around her. She smiled to herself before looking around the room she was in.

The walls were a yellowish-white color, with little hand-painted, bright yellow flowers along the boarders of the ceiling. The wooden floor was a light brown color with a large, rounded, yellowish-colored carpet that laid in front of a loveseat by a large bay window. The front door and the big window were on the same wall.

Another wall had a table with two chairs set against it that matched the floor, the nightstands, and the doors. She assumed the door was for the closet, but would have to investigate to know for sure. When she went to roll over to view the other side of the room, a warm mass attached to the arm around her stopped her.

Turning her head slightly, Skye could see her husband sleeping soundly behind her. The memories of the carriage ride suddenly came to her, causing her to turn away as she blushed brightly. She raised her available hand and facepalmed, trying to get her mind out of the gutter.

Her fidgeting in bed had disturbed her prince; provoking a husky grunt. An involuntary smile spread across her lips as his moans from last night began to fill her head. How he’d gripped at her head; lacing his fingers through her hair. The way his leg muscles tightened when her mouth did around his manhood.

When her mind’s eye turned towards the scenes of him lapping at her, Skye’s heart beat became erratic. A familiar tingling sensation began to build between her legs again. As her breathing became labored, she focused on calming herself. She tried, at least; until she felt Tidas’ hard member pressing against her backside.

.....

Slowly turning around to face her husband, Skye studied his features up close. His long, dark eyelashes were thick and his eyebrows were naturally shaped. His jawline was perfectly sculpted, and his neck was strong, but not bulky. A light shadow of stubble was beginning to cover his lower face and throat.

Unable to stop herself, Skye ran her fingertips along Tidas’ jaw. She liked the feel of his stubble, and gave a small smile due to it. He furrowed his brows before slowly opening his eyes. The moment he’d focused enough to see her, the prince smiled and said, “Good morning, wife.”

“Good morning, husband..” Skye replied as she beamed at him in return.

Tidas couldn’t stop smiling. He’d dreamed for years of being able to wake up to Skye and say that. He squeezed her tight after slipping his other arm out from under the pillow, and then kissed her sweetly. Her eyes had a haze to them that Tidas hadn’t seen before. The gaze resembled how she’d looked at him in the carriage last night, but not nearly as intense.

Feeling his manhood stir, the prince began an internal struggle with himself. Skye was emotionally ready for their coupling now, but not physically. Tidas knew she needed to eat and bathe first, but his wife seemed to have other plans.

Skye threw her leg over his hip area; aligning their private parts like puzzle pieces about to interlock. She pressed her warm, naked body almost flush against his. Making a particular point to push her breasts into him provocatively. Tidas gave a low growl sound, sending a shiver down Skye’s back.

“Mmmm... Ima thinkin’ it’s time we continued..” Skye’s sultry voice caused his cock muscles to flex.

Feeling him move sent another shiver through her body. He was right at her entry; all Tidas needed to do was position and push in. When Skye wiggled her lower half, she’d ground down on his member a little. Tidas released his hold on her and pulled back.

Skye looked at him with confusion and hurt as he said, “As much as I want to right now lass, we can’t. We need to eat and bathe, or we’ll be useless the rest of the day.. And I have plans for you later that I will not budge on.”

Frustration and anger were written all over Skye’s face. She was beyond ready for her husband in every way, but he wanted to wait. It was sweet at first, but now her irritation was more than she could take. A yearning for him she didn’t fully understand had been building up since their moment in the hollow. And Skye was at her breaking point.

“What do ye mean, ‘wait’?! Ima right here! The only thing Ima hungry for right now is you, ye fool! Why do ye keep denying me? Do ye not want-”

Before Skye could finish her rant, Tidas was on top of her, pinning her down. She looked to her husband’s face for an answer to his actions, but what she saw there only intensified her shock. The primal, hungry eyes that stared back at her made her gasp. He clenched his teeth, and his breathing was heavy and irregular. Skye’s heart felt like it was going to explode from her chest when her husband said, “Don’t tempt me, wife.. If I take you now, we really won’t be leaving this bed for the rest of the day...”

Skye shuddered at the intensity in her husband’s voice. Although it scared her a wee bit; his tone was deep and filled with his need. His muscles were tense all over as he struggled to hold himself in place above his wife. They stared at each other a while before Tidas gritted his teeth again, then rolled off of her; standing up on the side closest to the front door.

His resolve was weakening with every breath she took. Skye’s body had felt so soft and supple under him. It took all he had not to drive himself deeply into her willing heat. ‘The woman’s still a virgin! How can she be so damn seductive with hardly an idea as to what she even wants?! If she would’ve grabbed me, it would’ve been over...’

The thought echoed in the prince’s mind as Skye stared at him. She was about to start screaming her frustrations at him, but a large growl from her stomach stopped her in her tracks. Tidas whipped his head back to look at her with a cocky smile. She wrapped her arms around her stomach before saying, “That... That was involuntary! ‘Tis not food Ima wantin’, damn it!”

“But your body does. And if we want to enjoy ourselves longer than a couple hours, then we both need to eat, my love. And not just.. meat,” Tidas finished with a gesture to his manhood.

“Meat? What are ye talkin’ about? Do we have bacon?” Skye’s expression was pure innocence as she replied.

Tidas’ laughter echoed in the room before he said, “Wrong kind of meat, my love. But I’ll show you the difference, don’t worry.”

Skye shrugged her shoulders before she huffed loudly in frustration. ‘Why does he keep denyin’ me?! I see he wants me, so what the Bloody Hell?! Is he tryin’ to drive me mad?! Ack! Whatever! I’ll just have to do the same!’

Skye got up without another word. She walked towards what she’d assumed correctly, was the closet. After a moment to relieve herself, she emerged with a disinterested look and said; “So where’s this food ye spoke of?”

In truth; Tidas had woken up an hour or so before Skye had. He’d fallen back asleep, but not until all his preparations had been made. He’d awoken to the gatekeeper lightly tapping at the back door with their breakfast in tow. After throwing his pants on; the man helped Tidas put it away. He’d made it a point to keep his vision low as not to look at or disturb the young woman still sleeping.

A small kitchen was attached by a door to the wall Skye hadn’t been able to look at yet. It had most of what one would find in any other; except for storage. The wall that the door was attached to had cupboards for food and a handful of dishes. It also had thin counters on either side of the door, below the cupboards for preparation. It was a snug cottage, but charming.

After placing the food in their appropriate places, the gatekeeper had left. The smell had been too tempting, so Tidas had eaten some of the fresh bread with strawberry jam spread on it. After his small snack, he’d removed his pants again, and returned to bed.

The prince smirked at his wife before walking over to the cupboards. As he pulled the food out and set it on the counters, Skye gaped at him. The food was obviously fresh from the smell and look. Baffled, she asked how, so Tidas explained. When he finished, Skye asked; “So ye had no hand in the preparations?”

“Haha! No, my sweet. The only two things I know how to make well are coffee and campfire food. Which basically means I can cook things over an open fire without burning it,” Tidas smiled as he talked and explained; moving their food to the table at the same time.

There was over half a loaf of bread with strawberry and blueberry jams. Slices of ham, cheese, and half a dozen hard-boiled eggs with a hollandaise sauce on the side to pair were also present. Skye’s mouth watered as she helped move the food. She hadn’t realized how hungry she’d been until then. But Tidas had; it both warmed her heart, and irritated her.

As he put the last plate on the table, Skye embraced him tightly. It annoyed her that he’d been right, but that was just her pride talking. That he understood her so well, even after their few years apart, mattered more to her. As she squeezed him, she muttered, “Ima sorry.. Thank you..”

Tidas was surprised by his usually fiery wife. When they were younger, she wouldn’t have acknowledged her misunderstanding. Her pride wouldn’t have let her. He smiled softly at her before saying; “It’s not like I don’t feel as you do, my love..”

“I want you, but I won’t be satisfied with just once..” Tidas tilted her head up by her chin to look into his eyes; “I plan to have my way with you several times, Skye. And you’ll need your strength for that..”

Goosebumps broke out over her entire body at her husband’s words. Skye heard the yearn in his voice; it felt even stronger than hers. The amount of restraint he’d shown was mind boggling to her, especially since she kept intentionally baiting him. Even now as they both stood in front of their meal, she was pressing herself against him in attempted seduction.

Skye sighed longingly before breaking her hold. If Tidas could show such reframe, then she could at least be a little more understanding. And based on what he just said; he’d planned on spending the day making it up to her anyways..

“I understand, husband... Just don’t be makin’ me wait too much longer. ‘Tis painful for women as well, when no release can be had,” Skye stated as she walked towards the bed.

Grabbing the sheet, Skye wrapped it around herself before coming back to the table; much to Tidas’ relief. His beautiful wife was far too distracting in her natural state. Not to mention her tricks were ten times more effective when she was naked. If she had continued to press herself against him much longer, his willpower would’ve lost to his lust.

The newlyweds sat and ate in amiable silence. Once they had their fill, Tidas stood up to put his pants back on. When Skye questioned what he was doing with a harsh tone, Tidas lifted his arms up in a defensive manner and replied; “I’m just going to fill the tub, sweetheart.. Don’t hurt me.”

Skye huffed as she grabbed a cup of water and gulped it down. After setting it down, she wiped her lip and stood. She sauntered over to her husband, stood before him, and smiled before speaking.

“I will agree to it, but I suggest we wash quickly..” Skye reached down and grabbed her husband’s manhood then said, “Because I’m Not waitin’ much longer...”
