Unsated Desire

Meeting The King

"I believe I asked you a question first."

I raised a brow unsure of what he was talking about.

"Why have you taken a vow of chastity" he said looking around my room.

My body tensed up like always whenever I thought about it.

An I started speaking the story pouring out of me like water from a fountain. It was like I couldn't stop until every drop was gone. When I was done I took another swallow larger then the last. The burn that was there before now gone.

Gideon stood walking toward the door.

"Wait your turn answer my question" I said wobbling to my feet.

He only chuckled "your drunk get some sleep" he said before leaving.

"Oh that's how you wanna play it fine then" I said shouting. I fell back on my bed pulling the book from under the pillow and laid down to read but after a couple of words I found myself drifting off to sleep. I work I believe hours later I couldn't quite tell since there was no windows. And my stomach felt awful I felt the bile burning it's way back up my throat and the rocking motion that I found soothing was nothing but. As I went to vomit a bucket was held in front of me just in time. Once I was done I looked an saw it was Gideon with my families book in hand looking through the pages avidly.

I sat up quick which was a mistake I regretted instantly but I pushed through snatching the book from him. "What are you doing in my room you creep" I said putting it under my pillow.

"Came in here to check on you, drinking and sailing on the vessel for the first time can be a retched adventure when doing it by yourself he said as if from experience. I saw you were reading and wanted to see what it was...... quite interesting" he said leaving the room before I could even get a word.

Ugh I thought wiping my forehead maybe I'd reconsider getting that recipe this was not a favorable feeling at all I thought as I laid back sleep taking me once more. When I awoke there was a plate of food piping hot on my side table with a glass of water. I immediately drank the water and then scarfed down the food that was very much needed. I changed clothes to done another white dress with slits up the side that ended at my hip an a waist corset an went to the deck, men were bustling about and Gideon was right along with them. I went an stood in the same spot as when I first boarded. This feeling would never get old it was thrilling I couldn't help but spread my arms wide and feel the wind brush past my face as we sailed. The hustle and bustle seemed to stop I noticed after a few moments I turned around an saw the men had stopped to watch me. I knew if I saw myself my cheeks were as red a ruby. I'd forgotten myself it happened from time to time I sighed. I smiled what do you want me to whoop your asses again like I did last night I yelled. That gained laughter from the entire deck and they were back at it.

Gideon came to stand beside me "you know we're actually almost there."

"Hmm I thought it would take a day in a half "I asked closing my eyes again.

"We left sooner then I anticipated yesterday an miscalculated" he said.

I giggled "oh so I wasn't the only one who was surprised" I said opening my eyes to find him staring at me.

"No ... you weren't" he said lowly the timbre in his voice making me shiver.

"Are you cold" he said placing his hands on my shoulders and sliding them up an down.

I stepped away looking forward and chanted to myself still your mind and your body and exhaled a breath. "No I'm alright" I said clutching the rail fiercely. If I wasn't holding back on my strength I'd have most likely broken it.

He continued to look at me "you know my brother will be completely enamored by you."

I laughed then nervously "an who is he the king?"

He didn't respond just continued to stare at me.

"You can't be serious your royalty and your working on this ship with the rest of the men" I asked baffled.

"Yes is that a problem" he said raising a brow at me

"Not at all, actually refreshing Rheim once told me a leader that does not get their hands dirty with the people will never understand their struggles" I said repeating a tidbit from my deceased lover.

Gideon remained silent at this and again he touched me, placing his hand on the small of my back. Somehow he made the past seem....okay.

"Go and get your belongings together we will be arriving very soon" he spoke after a while.

I nodded and went back to my room below shuffling about I hadn't really taken much out so I made the bed and decided to reread what I'd started last night. I barely could remember that drink had effects that I wasn't fond of at all. I was just at the part of the "other half " putting the last relic piece together when I heard Otis call an say we were arriving.

I'd hustled out of the room stuffing the book in my satchel. Otis went to get my belongings as I left to see where we'd arrived to. When I set foot on the deck the sight before me was breathtaking. Vivid greens were everywhere different types of trees and even flowers peppered the ground. I hadn't had a second to bask in it when we were ushered off to the palace. I was right beside Gideon the whole while and when I'd slow he'd place his hand on the small of my back pulling me back to the same pace as him. I shivered inwardly his pinkie always landing just a bit inside the crease of my ass. I just hoped this king was able to top his looks. I overheard Gideon say we were going to the throne room.

When we got there I saw a woman standing on the arms of the chair squatting down as who I assumed to be the king tongued her. Her moan was loud and brazen as if no one would dare walk in on them. He cupped her cheeks grounding her into his mouth. Her moan sounded again as her head fell back eyes closed in bliss.

Gideon looked highly annoyed he cleared his throat and the woman eyes popped open. She scrambled down almost falling if it wasn't for the mans grip on her.

"What's wrong my little dancer can't take it" he said chuckling not even paying us any attention.

She looked at them and then he did too annoyance playing across his face. As opposed to Gideon he had a full head of black wavy hair that fell to his shoulders. Stubble graced his whole jawline his face was supple and soft where Gideon's was angular With a goatee. His eyes were a muddy brown and his skin tone was golden as if he'd bathed in just enough sun to achieve just that. His lips were full just like Gideon's only thing is they were frowning.
