Enchanted // Rhae Royce

34. You Survived

"You survived!" Taelon declared after tucking a very tired Thorin back into his crib. "How do you feel after your first supper? Dont want to run away do you?"

"Im not running." Rhae assured. "I dont like dresses though." She remarked as Taelon toyed with the hem of her dress.

"You dont have to wear dresses. You dont have to wear anything." Taelon offered as he kissed her.

She wanted to say thank you but that felt strange. Telling her husband thank you for accepting them and loving them. Not pushing them away but inviting them in with open arms.

But she kept kissing him instead. Lips moving but not saying a thing yet she felt the connection.

"Since you wont be wearing this again..." taelon remarked ripping her dress from her body. Rhae laughed out as the pieces fluttered to the floor. "What? Is that not what you meant?" Taelon mused picking her up as though she was nothing. She felt his fingers grip the curve of her ass and the meat of her thighs as she wrapped her legs around him holding his face to her.

Rhae could have stayed in bed forever. She body was sore and tired from last night but the sun broke through the curtains and a stream of light was blinding her.

She moved slightly trying to get out of the light but Taelon was trapping her in place. A hand still buried in her cunt his mouth a jar resting on her breast. She realized how much it tickled her nipple and she chuckled a laugh that shifted her body and she felt his grip tighten.

She sucked in a breath as his finger dipped inside of her. Her eyes closed forgetting the sun on her face as he kissed down her stomach.

"First night in the capital." Taelon whispered his voice vibrating against her as he got lower his fingers still moving plunging and swirling pinching as she whimpered. "Sleep well?" 

She could only nod as he lifted her legs up resting them on his shoulders.

"Wake me up like this every day." She requested softly as his tongue met her core. She felt her whole body shift into him as his hands dug into her ass keeping her to him. She felt his tongue stroking along her as he added a second finger.

Toes curled as her knees bent and back arched off the bed. So this is what married life to a man she actually loved was like.

"I'm entirely serious." Rhae informed him softly as he kissed her lips. "Wake me up like that."

"Noted." Taelon agreed. He pulled her legs around him as she sat perched on his thighs. She could have stayed like that, pressed up against him, her nose brushing against his. Arms draped over his shoulders, he could feel her relax into him as his fingers traced along her back. 

When Tommen so rudely barged in Rhae tensed, thinking for a moment that she was in trouble before she remembered, Taelon was husband. 

"Tommen, might want to knock next time." Taelon offered. 

"I never knock." Tommen corrected. 

"I'm married now." Taelon reminded him calmly. Rhae pushed herself closer to Taelon, burying her face in his neck. 

"I was wondering about that." Tommen remarked. 

"Get out Tom." Taelon demanded wrapping a blanket around Rhae, she pulled it tighter around herself. 

"But you see-"

"Out Tom." Taelon pointed a finger back at the door. Tommen slumped off. "Close the-" Taelon chuckled glancing at the open door. "SOrry about him." Taelon said kissing Rhae again. He could tell Rhae was not the type to share herself so willingly, which Taelon found hilarious considering how easy she let him in. 

"You two are very close." Rhae remarked. 

"He will learn boundaries." Taelon offered. "I should check on Thorin." Taelon realized, Rhae wrapped the blanket tighter as he shifted out from under her, pulling on his shorts. "Be right back." he declared as he headed out and closed the door behind him. 

Rhae pulled his shirt on and looked around, she peered into drawers and found a sketch book. She flipped it open as she sat back down on the bed. Her eyes went wide as she looked at the drawings. 

"Must have tired himself out yesterday, little lads still asleep." Taelon remarked. Rhae glanced up from the book and a smile curved her face. 

"You draw these?" 

"No, those pictures of naked women came with the room." Taelon mused. 

"You are very good." Rhae remarked. "Any of me in here?" Taelon chuckled pulling her back into him. He looked to the cover before flipping around but she put her hand out stopping the page. She stared down at the picture.

"A new style," Taelon remarked. "Line drawing... keeps the muse unknown to everyone but me." 

"Others see your work?"

"Tommen, the muse at times... Nyra has," Taelon remarked. 

"Your little sister sees these drawings?" Rhae countered with a laugh. 

"She snooped, just like you." Taelon mused. 

"It's not snooping this is our room." She reminded him. He pressed a kiss to her shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her. "I like this one." she traced the line drawing, a woman holding a baby. 

"Thorin was a bit littler then." Taelon remarked. Rhae thought she would feel uncomfortable thinking about all the women that were the muses for his pictures but with his arms around her, fingers dipping into her, lips on her skin she couldnt help but feel bad for all the women in this book because they would never get what they had.
