~The Arranged Union~

Chapter 5:~Nightmares~

It was darkness. Everything was darkness. I remember the pain, the suffering. I was alone in that cold cell waiting for them to finally end my suffering. But no one came until I was finally saved.

Christian woke up to soft crying and whimpers coming from beside him in the bed. He turned and saw the tears that was streaming down his wife's cheeks. She was shaking weakly and whimpered in her sleep. "Adelina," he put a gentle hand on her arm, squeezing it gently. "Adelina, it's just a dream," he whispered. Adelina woke up and opened her eyes. She continued sobbing and crying. "Adelina, can you tell me what your dream was about?," he asked gently. Adelina turned towards him and pulled herself close against him and hugged him tightly. "Shh, it's alright," he whispered and kissed her forehead. "I'm here," Adelina sobbed. Christian guessed that the dream was about her time in captivity as Estrellita and Kaine's prisoner. He had promised he would not let anyone hurt her ever again. But would that really be enough. He held her tightly through the rest of that night. Tomorrow, they would discuss the new threat at the council.

Francesco entered his and Melodiana's chambers. Everything that had happened a few weeks ago had made them very distant from each other and the court was gossiping mad about them having an heir. But despite that they didn't love each other, he couldn't bare to do anything to her if she didn't want to. Melodiana was already dressed in her nightgown and she sat in their bed completely quiet. Francesco who was dressed in his nightshirt walked over to his wife and sat down beside her in the bed. He placed his hands on her shoulders and gently pushed aside her long released dark brown hair. He gently placed a kiss on her neck. Melodiana turned and looked up at him. "Francesco," she whispered softly. Francesco softly kissed her lips and wiped away the tears that recently run down her cheeks. "Shh, don't speak," he whispered, "Just look at me," Melodiana looked up at him and Francesco kissed her lips once more. This time more deeply. He expected Melodiana to push him away and tell him to stop. She did neither. Instead she put her hands on the back of his neck and leaned her head aside, leaving him better access to her neck. Francesco softly placed wet kisses down her neck and he heard his wife moan softly. He soon realised that the sitting position began feeling a little uncomfortable and he stopped kissing her neck and looked up at her instead. "Melody, I think it will be more comfortable for you, for both of us if you lay down in the bed. Melodiana breathed softly and lay down in the middle of their four poster bed. Francesco hovered over her and leaned down and continued kissing her neck. Melodiana put her hands around his neck. Francesco began opening the bottoms of her nightgown and looked in search for permission. Melodiana nodded for him to continue and soon she was laying naked before him. He smiled softly and let his hand softly stroke her naked body. Melodiana closed her eyes and she moaned when Francesco unexpectedly pulled her closer against him. He gently kissed her down her shoulder and squeezed her breasts gently. Melodiana moaned and began feeling weak and her womanhood was starting getting wet. She gently pulled in his nightshirt and Francesco was quick to take it off him and throw it on the floor with her nightgown. He leaned up against her ear. "You're so beautiful, my love," he whispered softly, making her moan.  "Francesco, please," she moaned. Francesco had not expected his wife to beg for him which made him smile weakly. He softly stroked her wet womanhood before leaning down to kiss her lips. He looked into her eyes. "You ready?," he asked softly. Melodiana nodded and put her hand on his shoulder for support. "Yes," she said and she gasped and moaned as he suddenly pushed his hard member into her wet womanhood. Francesco pulled her legs around his waist and began softly moving inside of her wetness. He kissed her deeply and looked into her eyes. He smiled softly down at her as he saw the pleasure he was giving her. They both moaned as he released his warm cum into her and he carefully pulled out and lay down beside her in the bed. Melodiana glanced at him and gently reached for his hand. Francesco smiled weakly and took her hand in his. "Francesco, will you hold me tonight?," she asked carefully. Francesco smiled softly. "Of course,"

After cleaning themselves up, Francesco swept Melodiana into his arms and pulled the covers over their naked bodies. He smiled weakly at her as she leaned herself against his chest. Maybe they could love each other after all. He softly stroked her bare back and glanced down at her. Melodiana had fallen asleep in his arms.  He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep himself.
