"Are you okay my king?" Roan's eyes met your face, a look of deep regret in his eyes as he started to get dressed. He moved from the bed you rested upon, your naked body barely covered by one of the fur pelts.
"I have to go." You looked down sadly, moving the pelt so it covered more of your body and the slight flush of embarrassment that painted your skin.
"I understand my king." He shook his head when he looked back at you, finally coming to his senses. You thought he didn't want you, he thought that he had only used you for his pleasure, as if he ignored you and your feelings. And you thought it was because he was a king, because king's could do that, couldn't they?
They could take what they wanted and leave the rest for their inferiors. They could play with the hearts of innocent girls, and let them break when those girls realized that they were only used- never loved.
"No." He sucked in a breath as he saw how you hid your face, pulled the covers closer to your goddess like body and cowered from him. "I want to stay with you, to lie with you and feel like the whole world is controlled and not in danger. I want to have you by my side for all eternity to come, as my queen, as my wife- as my love." He crept back onto the bed as he spoke, until your chin was being lifted gently by the palm of his hand.
"I am leaving to keep you safe. My kingdom and it's court are not the place for a innocent beauty like you. But please know, that I love you and that I want to spend the rest of my life with you, even if you can't become my queen."
He pressed a kiss to your lips then, a hand coming to cup your face as he filled the kiss with so much love and passion that it had you feeling weak and dizzy.
But all to soon he was gone, and all you could do was watch from window of his quarters as he rode out to fight another day, leaving you empty and alone.
