To outshine the darkness

Chapter 10

Nozel Silva P.O.V.

Because of my rivalry with Fuegoleon, I've known Leonora since we were kids. I've seen how devastated Fuegoleon was when she disappeared and was presumed dead. So when she suddenly was back, I was just as surprised as everyone else. Not only because she was there, but she looked much more beautiful and healthy than when she was with the House Vermillion and I could see the strength within her. A little later I could see how strong she had become. So when they arranged my marriage with her, I wasn't really opposed, the only thing that held me back was that she had been with that foreigner.  But when I spend the wedding night with her, I realized that from the moment she got back, she slowly started to intoxicate me. The next time we had sex, I knew I didn't want to share her with that foreigner anymore. I've got to find a way to get her away from him, to make her even more mine than she already is. I look up from my thoughts when she walks past me with Mereoleona, and even though she has a pretty good poker face, I can see in her eyes that she's hurt about something. When I look in the direction she came from, I see Yami having a drink with Charlotte Roselei. I can't help but smile slightly as this is definitely going to help me. I turn to go a different direction, and as expected my brother and sister follow me. "Nozel" I look up to see Mereoleona on front of me. "Got a minute?" She asks. "Yeah" I say. I give a slight nod and Nebra and Solid walk away, a little annoyed but they do. "What is it?" I ask. "Listen, I want my little sister to be happy" she starts. I cross my arms. "I was reluctant when I heard about Yami, but she seemed happy. Now to see that he moved on this fast, I know she'll only get her heart broken" Mereoleona says. "I know you Nozel, or at least I can see through you" she grins and I can't help but get annoyed by this. "Leonora is hurt right now, though she tries to talk it off that he's totally in his right and shit" Mereoleona says. "If you want her, tonight is your chance"  she says.

I feel Leonora's trembling breath against my lips. When she opens her eyes again at first she seems surprised, then happy and then incredibly sad. I can't help but feel offended. I pull out and lie down beside her, turning my back toward her. "I'm sorry Nozel, I didn't mean to offend you" Leonora whispers as she presses her lips between my shoulder blades. "How can I not when you look at me like that after?" I ask. Leonora's hand trembles as she strokes my abs. "If you didn't want to, you could've just said so" I scoff. "But I wanted to, and I am happy because I really really enjoyed it" Leonora says softly as she presses her wonderful breasts against my back. "Then what was that look for?" I ask. "It had nothing to do with you...just..a painful memory" she mumbles as she presses her lips against my shoulder. "Please turn around Nozel..I know you don't care for me but.." she says but I quickly interrupt her with my hand before turning around. "Not wanting to get married, and not caring are two completely different things" I say, looking at her sternly. "I've known you for a long time, of course I care" I say. I sigh deeply and lie back down, as I do so I pull her into my arms, instead she crawls on top of me, leaning her hands on either side of my head as she looks down on me. "I'm going to expect this every time now" she says. "Hmm are you now?" I ask as I glide my hands up her thighs. Leonora bites her lower lip seductively. "Yeah" she says softly before she lies back down, but still on top of me. She presses her lips softly on mine and I can't help but run my hand through her fiery red hair. "What made you agree?" She asks. "To what?" I ask in return. "The marriage" she says. "I didn't at first. But you've become very beautiful Leonora, and very strong. I didn't have any reason to object" I say. "Even if you didn't love me?" She asks. "Love is something that can grow" I say. "How can you be so sure?" Leonora asks. "I'm not" I say honestly. "What makes you so doubtful?" I ask. Leonora doesn't responds for a long while. "My feelings for someone else" she mumbles. "Those feelings are wasted, when he moves on this fast" I say. "I guess" Leonora mumbles before kissing me long.

I usually wake up early, do some training, have breakfast and then go ahead and do the tasks that is expected of me as a captain. I'm awakened by the sunrise as usual, but something keeps me in bed. I turn my head to see Leonora still sleeping next to me. Married for two weeks and still not used to her warmth in my bed. I watch her sleep, her head is is turned toward the window, the blanket has dropped down to her waist and her hand is resting on her stomach. The sun that is creeping in, makes the white silk of her nightgown shine. Because of her movements during her sleep, her nightgown shifted, exposing her breasts even more, but at the same time not enough. I feel myself getting even harder than my usual morning wood. I reach over and softly stroke her neck. She turns her head but keeps sleeping. I glide over and roll myself on top of her before softly pressing my lips onto hers.  "Hmm, Nozel" she mumbles sleepily but kisses back each time my lips touch hers. I softly kiss her neck, pulling her nightgown down to expose her breast. Leonora spreads her legs and I feel her feet against my calves. I feel her fingertips gliding down my abs, pulling down my pajama pants. I glide her silk gown up her thighs and pull her panties aside. Leonora places her hands on my jaw and neck as she pulls en down to kiss me. I'm about to enter her, when someone knocks on the door and walks in without waiting for an answer. "Nozel-niisama!" Solid says. "Did I give you permission to come in?!" I snap at him. He steps back, scared of the tone in my voice, but then sees Leonora underneath me and realizes he's interrupting something . Leonora moves her arms to cover her breaths. "I-I'm s-sorry" he stammers embarrassed. "What do you want?" I ask in the same angry tone of voice. "A-a letter from the magic emperor" Solid says, holding up the letter. I sigh deeply and move my hand down to pull my pajama pants back over my hardened member. "I'm sorry baby" I say, kissing Leonora as I pull her gown back up then roll off her, and out of bed. "Next time wait until I say you can come in" I say, snatching the letter out of his hand. "You've got to go?" Leonora asks as she sits up. "Yeah" I say as my eyes scan the letter. "I'm sorry."
