Chapter 6

I sat on the edge of the pool of water in the garden watching the swaying willow tree. I heard footsteps behind me but couldn’t stand to turn my eyes away from the beautiful sight before me. soon I felt strong hands wrap around my waist and a tall large body sit behind me. I didn’t have to turn to see who it was and I sighed back into his embrace. Soon little fish began nibbling on each of our toes and giggles started to radiate out of my mouth. The sun was high in the sky and everything was at peace in the world. Soon clever teeth were nibbling my neck and this didn’t make me giggle. He sighed against my neck while he started to stand up. I whined a little wishing we could stay much longer and do what I wanted to do in this beautiful place. 

“Rayne, we have to go to a council meeting.” He said softly pulling me to my feet. He wrapped an arm around my waist and started leading us towards the archway. I sighed deeply and he pulled me closer. It was then that I noticed the gleam in his eye. 

“What?” I asked when a smile appeared on his amazing lips.

“Nothing, nothing at all beautiful.” He kissed my head and started half running to the throne room. We burst through the doors before we could be announced and the council all stood in a hurry many of them almost falling down the short stairs in front of them. I saw the same glint from Zepher’s eyes in Rosch and I really started to worry what this was all about. I was formally seated on the Queen’s throne and I let my hand reach for Zephers. He grasped it tight an almost boyish air about him, he was practically bouncing with happiness. 

“Council what is your decision.” He asked looking all the men standing before him their heads slightly bowed, except for Rosch of course. 

“What decision Zepher?” I whispered to him while the men were all glancing to one another. There was a silence before me while the men seemed to look in each other’s eye. 

“We formally except Rayne daughter of Tagar of the Elves and Willow of the Fairy Isles.” Rosch finally said a grin spreading across his face “Welcome to the family.” He finished walking up to me kissing both my cheeks then walking back down to take his place in line. To this day I’m not really sure what happened past that point. I know that my face must have been in some odd expression, probably a goofy smile, and that my magic was flowing off me in waves, Zepher’s blue eyes were shining so bright I almost couldn’t look at them and when I looked at Rosch his were doing the same. Soon after the talking had finished I felt Zepher  stand and I joined him, our fingers interlocked, he kissed me full on in front of all the men and I was almost tempted to push him away. Almost. There were claps around us and we pulled apart and exited the throne room. He picked me up carrying me off down winding hallways while our lips pressed softly together. By the time we reached the archway into the garden my fingers were through his hair and his fingers were slid far up my thighs. I felt the familiar soft breeze that surrounded the garden. We walked through the veil of the Willow tree’s leaves and he laid me down on a soft patch of moss. I wrapped my arms tight around his shoulders pulling him down to me, he bit along my jaw while sliding my dress off and eventually pinning my wrists above me. I looked at the man before me, his magic flowing around my naked body, his eyes such a bright blue that you almost couldn’t see his pupils. He gazed down at my body a purely masculine look across his face. He quickly stripped all his clothes off until we both lay naked beneath the tree, nothing but magic covering us. He picked me up so we were face to face while he kneeled before me. He kissed my shoulder picking me up to press me into his hard length. I half screamed clinging to his body, while his hands held tight to my back. He kept pushing into me at a slow delicate pace until I was trembling in his tight embrace. Finally he laid be down and slowly became faster until our worn bodies lay still, tangled together, our breathing slowing, and our magic fading. My fingers played through his hair and his face, which held a look of pure happiness. I kissed him gently and he kissed me back gently. he stood slowly, a gleam in his eye while he pulled me to stand with him. He smiled while he kissed down my body all the way to my lower stomach until he was kneeling at my feet. I saw him pull magic into his hand and cover it from my sight and finally I met his eyes which still held happiness. It was then he started speaking to me in the absolutely sweetest voice.

“My beautiful Rayne, with your amazing eyes and perfect body. The one who’s very presence makes my knees week and thoughts confused. The one who makes me feel young and vibrant while still pulling deep feelings from my heart. Rayne of the Fairy Isles who came into this Elf world expecting nothing but found a soul mate.” I realized then what was happening and I covered my mouth in shock while tears started to trickle from my eyes. “Will you do me the honor of being my wife and my Queen?” At that moment he opened his hand where a small delicate ring made of white crystal sat surrounded by the blue flame that was all Zepher’s magic. I nodded the tears clearly steaming down my face while my hand shook as I held it out to him. The smile that pierced his lips then was something I have never seen. It was the Zepher that laid under the hard exterior and sweet romantics, the one that was alive before he became King. He picked me up then kissing me so fiercely and loving that it made my toes curl while he spun me around. he set me down holding me so tight I could barely breathe. Soon he let me go and just stared at me gently while picking my clothes up and slowly pulling the dress over me. I stood there in shock while he got dressed before me. Our fingers intertwined once again and we left the garden to walk around the kingdom that was now ours. Ours, what a simple word, yet it meant so much when the context is a nation. Not just the one that lay before us, but the ones we couldn’t see. Zepher’s world was now mine to share with him.
