Fly Away *ON HOLD*

Chapter 7: I'm a Fairy Princess

And so the real story begins..... Hopefully you enjoy it! Picture of Laci on the side ------------>

I awake to the sound if a soft snoring. Soft, yellow light streams through the cracks in the curtains. My green eyes travel up a bare chest and to the innocent face of a sleeping boy. Graycen.

I smile softly to myself and creep out of bed. I grab the pale pink, silk robe that hangs from one of the bed posts and tie it tightly around my bare body. The white marble floor against my feet is cold but I like the feeling. It wakes me up. I walk over to the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a large lake. I grip the edge of the curtain covering the window. My fingers glide over the smooth satin of it. I notice with a frown I small rip in it. I'll have to send for one of the keepers for this later. With a sigh, I wrench open the curtains one by one until the room is full of the lazy, morning light.

I look over at Graycen. A sunbeam illuminates his sleeping figure making him appear to be in a spotlight. His pale blonde hair glints in the sunlight. I smile softly and walk over to him. For a moment, I am mesmerized by the color and length of his lashes. So long and so pale, only to be seen on intimate occasions. I brush the hair off of his forehead. He stirs for a moment. Then I am pulled down onto his chest. His muscular arms form a warm embrace around me. As much as I enjoy it, I know that I must be getting ready for the day. I lightly wriggle out of his arms, like a butterfly from its cocoon, and then bend down to lightly brush my lips against Graycen's. My dark hair tumbles around my shoulders Ina glistening cascade. Graycen kisses me back lightly, as if in a dream. I pull back and with a hint of a smile, head towards our closet to dress myself.

I pick one of the unworn dresses from a wall and bring it with me to the large master bathroom. There, turn on my straightener and turn it on. I look in the mirror at my pale complexion, examining it for any blemishes or imperfections. Not one. My reflection seems to be fit so I got I turn on the water in the shower. I push a few buttons on the digital pad outside the large stand up shower to set it to just the right temperature and flow. As it is warming up I hum lightly to myself. The skylight above me illuminates the bathroom in a glow. A few minutes later, I step into the shower and let the warm jets cascade onto my body. After washing my hair and body, I step out and slip into the dress I have laid out on the counter. Just as I am about to pick up the straighter a pair of arms snake their way around my waist. 

"Good morning," I whisper. I turn to face Graycen. He leans down to match the height of my petite frame. He presses his lips to mine. I kiss him back lightly before he moves his lips to my jaw.

"Gray," I murmur lightly, knowing full well where this would lead. His lips land on my neck. Despite knowing better, I let him continue. His lips make a burning trail across my collarbone. I lead his face back to mine. He obliges. Graycen picks me up lightly and I lock my ankles together. He carries me out of the bathroom and sets me down lightly on the bed. The sheets are still in disarray from last night's events. He stands in front of me and I sit on the bed. His hands make their way to the zipper on my back. They fumble with it a bit before he finally gives up and tears the dress off of me.

I bite my lip.

"I was going to wear that," I say against Graycen's lips. He pulls away to look at me. His green eyes are as pale as the rest of him but they sparkle.

"And I liked that one too..."

I look over at the heap of material laying on the floor. A mess of green feathers, blue fabric and sequins.

"I didn't." I say before knotting one of my hands in his hair and pulling him on top of me.
