The Lady In Waiting

Consummating The Marriage

  Dancing with Aodhan was both harder and easier than Kiara expected it to be. Following his lead was simple enough, but when it came to matching his tone and energy, Kiara felt lost in the mist. Turning and swirling, Kiara cringed as she narrowly missed stepping on the hem of her own dress. "Please be slow with me, Aodhan. It has been much time since my dance lessons in the palace." Aodhan only smiled, gradually slowing to a stop as the next song began to play. "Perhaps we shall request a waltz, m'lady? I believe it to be slower than a quickstep." With a wave of his hand, Aodhan caught the attention of the band, who had been previously playing cheery bouts of music from their position in the corner. "My men, a waltz, if I may?" "Of course, sir. It'd be our honor." Within moments, the instruments strike up another melody, this one significantly slower than the first. Stepping to the beat of the music, Kiara smiled, reminded of her years in ballroom etiquette alongside Princess Augustus. 

  They seemed to go on dancing like that for hours. Song after song, they waltzed and spun, staring into each others eyes as if nothing else mattered at all. It sobered Kiara. "Come let us retire. You must be tired after all of this activity. I'd hate to run you out too quickly." Aodhan led her away to the refreshments table before pouring her another glass of wine. "Cheers, m'lady. To the night of great bliss awaiting us." Kiara blushed at the risque thought. "Cheers." Lifting her glass, Kiara gingerly lifted the liquid to her lips before suddenly lurching forward. Some sloshed party goer had shoved into her from behind. "My sincerest apologies madam." His drunken breath made Kiara scrunch her nose in disgust. "Please sir, back away. I am with my husband here." The man scowled, looking her up and down with a scornful eye. "Aye don't be such a fucking prude about it. Twas an accident." Aodhan's face grew dark. "You dare speak to a lady in such a manner?" Aodhan pushed forward to confront the man, but it was too late. Throwing his drink at Kiara, the nobleman dropped the glass, shattering the pristine cup into a million pieces. "Get out. Now." Aodhan looked as though he was going to strangle the man, and for a moment, when he was marching towards the man as he scrambled away, Kiara thought he just might. Turning back to her, Aodhan grabbed her wrist, sourly looking over where the liquid had soaked through.

  "Please, follow me, m'lady." Aodhan's barely veiled anger sent shivers down Kiara's spine as she desperately attempted to smooth out the large stain. This was it; Kiara had ruined the remainder of her night with one lousy stumble. So much for a night of bliss. "You are all dismissed." Not wanting to incur the wrath of the steamed nobleman, the remaining fellows quickly dispersed, some of them sparing her a pitiful glance, while others seemed to be less than bothered, instead grabbing a fistful for the road as they went. Throwing one last glance to the room of noblemen, Aodhan briskly marched forward, the back of his robes dancing across the floor as he did so. Quickly jogging to keep the pace, Kiara was torn between the apology on her lips and the petrified silence that held it there. "I can't believe that idiotic little-." Stampeding through the church, Aodhan only slowed when faced with the priest at the door. Shaking the hand of the holy man, Aodhan mumbled his thanks before holding the door open for Kiara. "Please hurry. I'd hate for that drunkard's firewater to blotch your skirts more than they have already." Kiara nodded quickly, stepping out of the church, swiftly making her way down the steeple steps, before pausing.

  "Where are we off to?" Before she could utter another word, Kiara was lifted into the air with a squeak. "A-Aodhan!" "Don't be unruly, Kiara. It's faster this way." Carrying her bridal style, Aodhan lifted her through the town square and into one of the more expensive looking inns. Setting her down in front of the door, Aodhan quickly wrangled up his coin purse, tossing a few golden nuggets at the sales clerk. "Congratulations." The man at the counter bowed his head at the newly weds. "Your requested suite has been vacated and hot water shall be supplied by the hour. Food and drink can be arranged at any time here at the front desk. Please, enjoy your stay." The man handed Aodhan a bronze key, before turning to greet a pair of gossiping ladies who had come in behind us. "Please, follow me. I've requested only the highest quality room for the night. We shall get you out of these wet clothes as quickly as possible." Aodhan greeted her dress with disdain. "Please forgive me. I would have never allowed that fool in the banquet hall if I had known his intentions." Kiara smiled softly. "I am just joyous that you are not angry with me as you were with that nobleman." Leading Kiara up a row of stairs, Aodhan stopped in front of the last door on the right before twisting the key thought the knob. "I could never be angry with you, my dear." Slipping through, Aodhan quickly shut the door behind them, locking it as he did so. "Come now, let's get these soaking wet clothes off of you, less you start to prune."

  He started off slow, removing her corset and shoes, before setting them softly in a pile on the floor. Slowly peeling her dress from her body, Aodhan clicked his tongue, eyes hungrily washing over her naked body with animated sight. Kiara found her body flush with color, her underskirts leisurely removed and added to the growing pile of garments. Standing back, Aodhan beamed, looking her over from head to toe with a renewed vigor. "Please, tell me what you stare at?" Pressing her hands to her chest, Kiara attempted to cover her breasts from the chill, her knees clamped together in an attempt to hide her body from his gaze. "Just observing what's mine, my dear." Stepping closer, Aodhan watched her nakedness like a master watched their canvas. "Remove your hands. I wish to see you fully." Obeying his order, Kiara did as she was told. Humming softly, Aodhan moved to hold her breast in the palm of his hand. "Perfect." His thumb played with her nipple, circling it till it became hardened with passion. "You're perfect." Taking her breast in one hand, Aodhan used his other to pinch and pull at her nipple causing Kiara to bite her lip as her hands shook at her side. "Let me hear your voice. I want to hear what I do to you." With a flick to her ever sensitive bud of flesh, Kiara released the moan that crept up from her belly, much to her husband's delight. "Good girl." 

  Aodhan rewarded her groans, grabbing her by the small of her back, pulling her to his chest. Leaning forward so she could feel his breath cascading down her back, Aodhan nipped at her shoulder. "Sing for me, my beautiful siren." With that, he began massaging her hips and thighs causing Kiara's knees to buckle. "Get on the bed and open your legs, I wish to marvel at your slits before I make them mine." With a whimper, Kiara fell down onto the bed, bringing her hands to her face. Kiara couldn't bare to look Aodhan in his power hungry gaze. "Please, do you wish to humiliate me with all this attention? Just get on with it." "I will. When I'm ready. A beauty of a woman such as yourself, deserves to be savored. What kind of husband would I be if I didn't stimulate your body a little before committing the deed?" Creeping up onto the bed, Aodhan massaged Kiara's thighs with his thumbs, spreading them just slightly so the lips of her cunt were opened. 

  "Please, I am stimulated. I swear to you. Please take me now." Aodhan chuckled darkly. "Already begging?" He tisked. Moving his hands to her lips, Aodhan pulled them apart before blowing on her aching clit. "Maybe I could stay like this forever, teasing you like this." Kiara couldn't help but buck her hips, craving his touch. She was going crazy with anticipation. "What happened to ravaging me like you claimed? Cold feet?" Kiara taunted. Suddenly dragging his tongue across her clit, Aodhan applied just enough pressure to leave her wanting more, before pulling away. "Sass me again and I'll leave you spread eagle for an hour. Teasing you like this till you're begging me to take you." Kiara whined at his threat, bucking her hips helplessly. "Please, Aodhan I'm already begging." Flicking his tongue against her clit, Aodhan hummed softly. "Say my name. I want to hear you." "A-Aodhan." Sucking the sensitive lovebud, Aodhan used his fingers to vibrate against the base of her clit while his mouth made quick work of her top half. "Aodhan-" Gripping the sheets on either side of her, Kiara's face was red in shame at her incessant howling. "Aodhan!"
