The New Kings Pet

Chapter 6

We swayed for what felt like hours, his grip on me loosened when he realised I was too weak to fight him anymore today. He kissed my forehead as he leads me back to our room, I just made it to the door when my weight fell at my feet. He caught me in his arms and picked me up, my dress billowing at his side when we entered the room. He layed me on the bed as I let my eyes flutter shut, he lets out a soft sigh and I hear his footsteps walk away before the sound of running water comes from the bathroom. 

He walks back into the room and I feel his hands on my body, he slides down the zip on my dress and I throw my arms around trying to find his face with my fist. "D-don't touch me" my voice quivers and he abruptly stops and looks and me with wide eyes before his face becomes emotionless. "I was not aware you were awake, I will have your handmaiden assist you instead," he says quickly leaving the room but I could've sworn his cheeks were turning pink.  I cradle my body as the door opens slowly and the familiar face of my handmaiden peeks through.

She walks in her hands visibly shaking as she guides me towards the bathroom, she helps me out of my dress and I sit in the bath the second time today. I watch out the window at the sky that was slowly fading from pink to orange as the golden hour passed slowly, when my eyes left the window I realised that the water was cold and murky. I slowly got out and stood on the cold tile floor wrapping the towel around my body I walked into the bedroom pleasantly surprised not to find Henry.

I did however found a nightgown laid out on the bed and beside it a small note, "you haven't eaten all day, meet me in the kitchen" the night was not signed but I can only assume it was from him, I thought for a moment that I'd rather starve than eat with him. But I would be of no use to my people if I were to do that, grabbing a coat I put it over my nightgown and walk into the hallway thankful not to find guards posted at my door.

I quickly walk into the kitchen, finding it empty besides a plate of fruits on the table. I quickly eat it all my stomach feeling satisfied when a figure moves out from the shadows it was Henry. He has a smirk on his face as I gape at his approaching figure, I took a few steps back and stumbled over my own feet I was suddenly backed up right against the kitchen counter. He trapped me his looming figure towered over me and I gulped anticipation for what was going to happen next. "W-what are you doing?" my voice squeaks out.

And he chuckles softly as he brings his hand to my cheek, my lips part as I try to breathe a sudden feeling of my heart caught in my throat at his close proximity. "Spending some alone time with my princess" he whispers huskily in my ear, his breath was hot against my skin. Suddenly my skin feels as if I've been set on fire, it feels hot and his body so close to my own. It was as if my body was no longer listening to my mind, as my arms found their way to his shoulders.

My lips found their way to his own, they moulded against his soft lips in a kiss. My fingers were tangled in his hair as his arms snaked around my waist. When I was on my last gasp of breath my mouth left his as our forehead rested against each other we tried to catch our breaths, I could tell from the soft light that his cheeks were pink and I just knew mine was the same possibly even worse.  I was flustered as he let go of me and he walked out of the kitchen, I stood there for a while just staring at the doorway he left through.

Did that actually just happen?

Had we actually kissed, did I really go against my morals as a princess and the vows to my parents and people to defeat this imposter of a King by kissing him? Shouldn't I be feeling guilty, why did I feel butterflies in my stomach, why did I feel disappointed when it ended and when he walked out. I mentally scolded these thoughts as I hit my head a few times, I need to remind myself of my duties of a Queen and that my loyalty lies to my parents and my Kingdom.

I made my way back to the Kings Chambers, glad not to see him in there but a little disappointment that begins to fill my heart as his absence. "Looking for me?" his voice says from behind me and I turn and see him standing in only a pair of boxer briefs, he catches me off guard again and I look away from him hoping he doesn't see the blush covering my cheeks. "I will take that as a yes" he mumbles and he hugs me from behind as he walks us over to the bed and I stay silent lost in a battle between my good and bad conscious.

I get under the covers on my side of the bed and face away from him needing to clear my thoughts. I'm interrupted with my internal battle when his arm snakes around my waist and pulls my body flush against his, I feel his face at the base of my neck as he peppers my neck and shoulder with soft kisses. I giggle at his touch, my body responding to his tickling touch. "Stop I'm ticklish" I breathe out between gasps of air. 

"I think I just found your sweet spot my princess" he whispers huskily
