Part 2
I woke up to sunlight on my face, opening my eyes I found I was in a huge luxurious bed. Above me would have been the canopy, instead there was a new skylight from where I had fallen, looking around the room I noticed a huge fireplace, with sofas and chairs in front of it, an office area on the opposite side with many books and papers surrounding it, the walls were decorated with painting and tapestries' and the floors had rugs over a tiled floor.
One of the seven doors opened and out came Queen Lafara, by the gods she was stunning. She is all black with a small pink blemish above her nose, her eyes are like emeralds, her hair is short and a slightly lighter shade of black, her claws are trimmed but I bet they could still inflict some damage.
"Good morning sweet one, how are you feeling?" she asked walking towards me in all her naked glory.
"Good morning Queen Lafara, I am alright thank you. How are you?" I asked shyly.
"No, no call me Lafara remember. And I am well thank you, better than I have been in a while. There is a bath waiting for us, do you think you can walk?" she asked holding out her hands.
I manoeuvred myself on the bed and took her hand, when I put all my weight on my right foot I fell to the floor letting out a small cry of pain.
"Sweet one, are you alright?" she asked in concern.
I looked at my foot and saw a huge black bruise, "I tripped last night when I fell in" I explained.
She picked me up like I weighed nothing and took me to the bathroom, which was beyond elegant. She place me in the bath then pulled a cord, she left for a few moments then returned and joined me in the bath that could easily hold eight people.
"I have called for the doctor, he will be here soon" she explained.
Looking down I was wearing my underskirt and shirt, removing them I turned to the bath. Before I could do anything else I heard a loud gasp, looking over my shoulder I saw Lafara, her eyes wide with shock as she looked at my battered and broken skin. I noticed a mirror on the wall I saw how bad it was, he had recently whipped me in anger at losing a bet to a friend claiming it was my fault.
"No one shall harm you here, that is my oath to you. The doctor will be able to heal you" she said coming closer to me.
"Thank you, Lafara. But I don't require special treatment" I said.
"We need to get you healed, you did not deserve to be treated so poorly. Now lets get clean, sweet one" she smiled.
She got in first and I followed, when the water touched my back I whimpered in pain. We started to clean ourselves, once Lafara was clean she instructed me to lean forward so she could was my back. She took great care as she cleaned my back, then she insisted on washing my hair. Her fingers massaging my scalp made me moan, she giggled making me blush brightly. After she had washed and rinsed my hair I asked to clean hers, she moved so fast that the water splashed over the side.
As soon as I started to wash her hair she began to purr, I grazed her ear and she fell back leaning on my chest. I continued until we heard a knock at the door.
"One moment please" Lafara shouted. "Just as we were getting comfortable" she muttered.
Rinsing her hair we got out of the bath and wrapped ourselves in towels, Lafara helped me to walk into the bedroom. A handsome male Rakshara stood by the door holding a bag bowed to Lafara.
"Ah. Doctor Liwar, good morning. This is my friend, she has some bad injuries that need immediate attention" Lafara explained.
I sat on the now cleaned bed while Lafara walked into another room. Liwar approached me with a warm smile and checked my injuries, he grumbled at my foot and at my bruises and cuts but when he saw my back he roared in anger.
"DARA!" he shouted, a young Rakshara came in rushing to us.
"Can you get me my strongest herms and salves, and bring me the large bandages please" he asked.
"Yes Papa" she smiled.
"Thank you, darling"
Lafara returned dressed in an elegant blue dress and was holding another darker shade dress in her arms. She looked radiant, then again she could look radiant in anything.
"You have a broken bone in your foot, and you back was becoming infected. Another day without treatment and you would be in danger of being paralysed. The ointments I am about to give you will aid in your recovery and relieve any pain, I do recommend bed rest for at least a week you have been through a lot" he smiled.
When his daughter arrived he tended to my injuries then excused himself with a bow. Lafara held a dress out to me with a loose back for greater ease. She helped me to get dressed and plaited my hair, I felt like a princess no one had taken such care of me since my parents.
"Beautiful. I have arranged a room next door, but you are always welcome to stay in my room with me. I can have another bed brought in" she smiled hopefully.
"I appreciate it, Lafara. I feel like I am imposing on you. I literally fell into your bedroom the queens bedroom, and instead of being scolded or you made me feel like I matter. Where would you like me to stay?" I asked.
"No none of that, this is your choice. Where do you want to stay?" she asked sitting next to me.
I was silent for a while, stay in a room by myself in a castle. Or be with someone who made me feel safe.
"If I am not going to be in the way... may I stay with you?" I asked.
"Of course sweet one" she smiled giving me a tender hug.
We agreed to share the huge king sized bed, after breakfast she went to do her royal duties. For that day I occupied my time with reading, and sitting by the huge window overlooking the queens kingdom. When she returned that night we talked about our day, I could tell that despite her demeanour the Queen was lonely the tone of her voice told me she longed for a friend.
After a week my foot had healed and my cuts and bruises were nonexistent. Lafara gave me a tour of her kingdom, everyone was so welcoming I would be sad when I left. On my eight day the she announced to the kingdom that she was pregnant with her late husbands cubs, a boy and a girl she was happy as was the kingdom but I sensed something was wrong.
One night after three months I was sat by the window watching as the suns set, Lafara walked in and sat next to me.
"Sweet one, are you alright?" she asked.
"I have been here for three months, I don't have a job or anywhere to really call home. What am I to do with my life?" I asked.
She cupped my cheek and smiled, "You can stay here with me. help me raise the little ones, I don't want you to leave. If you choose to leave I will find you a job, just stay near me always please" she pleaded.
"Why don't you want me to leave?"
"My marriage to my husband was arranged. My husband and I were both gay, but we did have sex once to appease tradition. I was close to my husband he was a good man, he was my best friend but I never truly... loved him" she explained.
"You love me?" I asked.
"Yes, our time together these past few months have been wonderful"
"I love you too, Lafara" I said kissing her on her lips.
She deepened the kiss holding me close, our moment was interrupted when the cubs kicked us.
"Ok little ones, cuddles only" she giggled.
We went to bed holding each other close, I startedto hum helping Lafara fall asleep in my arms.
