The Red Princess

Part 8

Natalia and Loki were wandering in the long rays of the carnival. But Natalia felt bored. She wanted to be with Logan, but couldn't and that made her thoughts wander.

She was friends with Loki, and with Logan, but suddenly, after spending the day with Steven, she couldn't stop thinking about her and Logan.

The thing about true love, she thought, it could be true, it can turn into a reality. She liked him, she liked everything about him, from his looks to his gestures. She loved spending time with him, conversations never ended. This could become love, and she didn't know how it feels to be in love. If love meant liking everything about a person than yes, Logan was the one.

She considered her father's choice best, she herself put Logan on top most priority and as Maria said, you can fall in love after marriage. And that possibility, she only had with him.

Loki, though he close friend, wasn't someone she wanted to marry, she hated many things about him and he irritated her. He was too spontaneous, too eager, and quite cunning at times. His ways didn't go well with her.

"Where are you lost? " Loki asked, when she didn't respond to many of his questions.

"Uh? No where, I was just.. Loki, I am tired, I want to go home" she said.

"Are you sure? " he said, "Don't you want to buy some souvenirs for me"

"Yes, please" she said, "I am really tired "

"Okay" he said.

Natalia left his arm, and walked to her carriage, leaving him alone behind.

Logan was in the stables, cleaning his horse himself. He was bare chest and all wet, his perfect body shining in the sun.

"Howlett!!! " Natalia came running to him.

"Natalia? " he was surprised to see her back so soon.

She ran to him, and paused in front of him. His perfect musculature, his glistening skin, his wet hair, everything tied her tongue, and she forgot to blink and breathe.

"Natalia? " he grabbed her shoulders, "Are you alright? " he asked.

She moved her head in negative, then nodded, acting like a fool. He laughed, "what is it? " he asked again.

Natalia accidentally stepped onto a tap paddle, and she didn't notice, she was standing below the large water tap used to wash the horses, instantly she was wet, head to toe.  

Logan's mouth fell open, as he stared at her wet self. Her wet hair, water dripping from them on her face. Her wet lips, so desirable, her skin, so soft and fresh. Her dress, white, all soaked in water, gone transparent, baring her belly, her legs, exposing her undergarments.

He watched her chest rising and falling heavily making his desires run wild. His hands moved from her shoulders, and traveled down, grabbing hold of her waist.

"You look beautiful " he said, pulling her closer.

"You look wonderful too, Logan" she called him Logan for the first time in a long time, her lips, as they said his name, pouted in such a way, that made him loose his control.

He grabbed her neck, and slammed his lips on her, and she allowed, tiptoeing to kiss him back. His other hand went to her hips, grabbing and supporting her weight, holding her up, so that her toes don't get tired. He kissed her deep, sucking on her lip, his tongue brushing hers.

They kissed until they were breathless, and as they moved away, Natalia looked down, panting, as this was her first kiss.

"It's my first kiss too" Logan said, and she smiled, even blushed a lot.

He grabbed her waist from behind, and pulled her close, descending to kiss her neck, her spoke with his mouth on her neck, below her ear.

"So, am I finally the lucky one? " he asked.

Natalia was panting, blushing and speechless, his words send sparks down her spine, his breath tickled her. And the cool breeze, made her shiver.

"Say it" he said, tracing her arm with his fingers, making her wince.

"Is this love? " she asked, with heavy breaths.

"It is for me" he replied, "I have always loved you Natalia" he said.

His grip on her waist tightened, his hand held her neck, and he kissed her neck, sucking her skin deep. She flinched, her heart skipped a beat.

She turned quickly, and hid her face in his chest, "I choose you, Logan" she said, her lips brushing his skin as she talked. His breath making him shiver.

"Oh Natalia!! " he said, pulling her back, and then hugging her, lifting her off her feet, "I love you Natalia, I love" he screamed.

She was all happy and smiles.

But one heart broke, as Steven watched them hug, he wiped a lone tear, "Thank you God for helping her choose right" he said, and walked away.

While on the other hand Loki fumed, he had witnessed everything, and his anger knew no bounds.

"You cannot do this to me Natalia, I have wasted a lot of time loving you. And you have to love me back, and become mine" he said in anger, "You will pay, Prince Logan, you have to pay for stealing away the love of my life" he said, and left in anger.
