Crying in pleasure

Chapter 4: A very cold night

Alex's POV

I'm walking next to the Queen, glancing at her worriedly. Eric and Zac have left with the children and the other families to reach the castle from the road. We chose to go on foot through the woods to arrive earlier and prepare new rooms for children.

"Are you sure you don't want me to help?" I ask her once again.

"I'm okay" she replays, trying to be convincing.
But she isn't okay at all. I can see it. She's paler than before and she's starting to sweat.

"No you aren't. Don't think I don't see you. You're so pale. Let me help you" I say in a pleading tone. Seeing her so tired is killing me.

" Don't you dare talking to me like this" she replays, glaring at me.

" Oh damn it Amber! You're going to faint if you continue walking. You're too weak. We've barely covered half of the journey and you look like you've done it twice!" I shake with anger. I move towards her and try to catch her, but she still has her shield up. She glares at me and I glare back at her. What the fuck was wrong with her!? Every girl I know would have fainted miles before to be kept in my arms for the whole journey, but she, no, she won't allow me to touch her even in this situation. She makes me feel so... Okay I admit it, I'd do anything for her. She's so unpredictable and powerful, yet so  vulnerable inside.

I'm deep in my thoughts when I feel a soft touch on my shoulder. I shiver in pleasure and look back at her.

" Stash I'm sorry. You're right, I'm weak and tired. I should have listened to you earlier. You were right."
My jaw drops.

" But, It's too late. I feel my energy leaving me. I must rest a bit. I'm going to faint." She tells me, and I feel her worried voice in my heart.

" I'll take you to your castle, I promise" I tell her convincingly.

" No! They can't see me weak! We must reach a cave called 'Shiny moon' that's right at the end of the wood, before the lake we crossed when we came. We must hurry. It's going to snow. I feel it"

Then her eyes widen and she passes out. I catch her before she could fall apart and notice she has disabled her shield.

I lift her and carry her towards the cave in bridal style, hugging her tight partly to heat her up and partly just because I wanted to do it so badly. Touching her causes me twinkles and I notice she has goosebumps where I touch her. She's so sweet when she sleeps. I run faster and I suddenly find the cave she was talking about. I place her on the cold floor and she shivers violently causing me to curse: she's suffering too much.

I light a fire and place myself next to her, lifting her, putting her on my lap and trying to dissipate the coldness to stop her shivering.

The cave is really beautiful inside. It has a big ceiling that goes up in like a spiral, creating lightings of golden and red shining light where fire sparks touch it. I notice that firelight dances on her pure white skin, seeming able to touch it, caressing her cold cheeks like I wish I could do.

" S-Stash? A-are you h-here?" She doesn't open her eyes, but she leans a little closer to me, enjoying the heat of my body. I feel her heart pounding faster and her face reddens a bit. Wow I make her feel embarrassed. Well done Alex, she's not comfortable with you.
