I'm Queen, You're a King

The Morning After

I woke up shortly after the sun had risen to the sounds of the ladies in their rooms next door getting ready for the day's work. I quickly gathered my things and headed up the stairs to go back to my room. Someone was coming so I quickly ran down the hall and bursted though the door into my room with my eyes still searching the halls.

I could then sense a presence in the room behind me and before I could turn around, a warm body was pressed against me.

I swallowed loudly as the presence behind me held me close and started to run their hands up from my hips to my waist pulling me in even closer. I could then feel their morning soldier poking me in my back so I started to try to twist out of the man's grasp. I was then spun around so that I was face to face with....Lief. I was quite relieved that it was him so that I wasn't having to fight off another horny male, but I didn't know if I could trust Lief to behave yet.

Normally if I was back in my time I would have hooked up with a man like Lief. He was dangerous and wild and would have been fun for a night or two, but I would never even think of him as the marrying type. Not that I was ever looking for someone like that... Well here, being with someone like him was foolish and especially since that for the time being, I would be living with him and since I was already attached to him, it would be best to stay away.

We were still staring at each other, his icy eyes wondering down my body lower and lower. My cheeks were burning and I was having a hard time to not look at the member in the room that had got my attention on how lonely I had been since I was thrown into this time.

"Where were you last night? I have been waiting for you, pretty one." Lief growled ruining my mood.

"I still don't trust that you will hold up your side of our agreement. You got what you wanted so let's just keep our distances." I snapped back.

"I want you." He purred with a hint of longing in his eyes.

I took a step back as my heart beat quickened. Why was I reacting like this? Before I could try to make some remark back to him he turn his back to me and started to gather his clothes. I was stunned by his release of me. I was going to just stand there and wait to see what he would do next once his beautiful body was dressed, but he didn't give me the pleasure of watching him and just paraded himself over to the door leaving me all alone  with a mumbled, "I'll see you on the docks in a couple of days".

I was left with a feeling of confusion as he opened and softly closed the door. I didn't know what I had wanted to happen... His arrogance in thinking that I was going to be waiting in bed with love in my eyes and be ready to obey his every command and desire was foolish. But part of me had wanted the flirting and sexual tension to go somewhere between us...

I was still awkwardly standing in the centre of the room when my ladies and Mathilde knocked and entered the room. They didn't question why I was standing there and just helped me put on one of my favourite green dresses. I had a lot of organizing still to do to arrange for my absence. I hoped that Lief's people that would be staying here to help with defense while we were gone were nice to my people. It was funny to think that a couple months ago I was living a carefree life and that now I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. I didn't really believe in the use for royalty and Kings, Queens and Princesses before coming here, but there was a need for the structure they provided. Before the modern day brainwashing and controlling politicians you had greedy and incest rulers. I was at least trying to do better for my people while avoiding all the incest freaks.

The morning flew by as well as the next day. The ladies had me all packed up to go. Neither of us truly knowing what to prepare for. They had never seen a Northern lady and they were all too scared to ask what they wore. I told them to pack me thick and durable clothing and none of the uncomfortable dresses that they always tried to dress me in. I was sure that it was going to be cold and windy at sea and I wouldn't be needing any ballgowns. They packed some little trinkets so I could give them as gifts to the Northern ladies and children. With all my things by the door, I felt as unprepared as when I was thrown hundreds of years into the past and onto another continent.
