The Queen of Raviena

The Queen of Raviena - His regrets

RECAP:

"Do you think Alex slept somewhere else last night, with another woman?" My voice trembled slightly.

"I wish so badly that I could tell you no."

*****************************************************************

I looked into Marcus eyes and I could see the concerned look on his face.

"I am so sorry Mel."

"Its not your fault. Besides I am doing the exact same thing to him, I most likely deserve it."

"No, it is my fault. My good looks and charm managed to seduce you away from the clutches of your grumpy husband."

He winked at me playfully

"Come on now Mel, lets get out of here."

I followed him like a lost puppy and soon recognised the hallway leading to his bedroom however we entered another door opposite.

Inside was a sort of study. It contained a bookshelf, a large sofa and a desk in the corner.

Over the desk I spotted a large portrait of a beautiful woman. She had long, dark, wavy hair and thin green eyes.

I felt an arm slip round my waist from behind me.

"My mother."

"She looks very much like you."

I felt a kiss being planted on my neck.

"I love you Mel" Marcus murmured into my skin.

His kisses became more insistent until he spun me around and began kissing my lips.

He desperately entered my mouth whilst wrapping his arms firmly round my waist.

I felt him move and I followed him eagerly still trying to carry on kissing him.

The next thing I knew he had pushed me onto the sofa and was hovering his weight over me.

I looked down at his hands which were fiddling with one of the buttons on his shirt.

"Oh Marcus, no we cannot!"

He sighed "And why ever not. If this is because of Alex then do not forget how he has treated you these last few days."

"This is not about Alex."

"Then what is it about?" He sounded irritated. "Well?"

His green eyes were like daggers waiting to act in case I gave an answer he did not want to hear.

"What if I were to be with child?"

"If that happened, you can pretend it is Alex's."

"Me and Alex do not..." I felt my cheeks burning, "We have not since the day after our marriage."

Marcus raised his eyebrows "Well that is a problem. So you have...." He paused seeing the redness spreading further and avoided speaking the word. "Only twice?"

"No." I had to focus on the material the sofa was made of to hide my embarrassment. "Once."

"What of your marriage day?" I looked at the roses on the table.

"I- Well - I pretended to be asleep."

And with that he began to laugh, loudly. I turned and swatted him on the shoulder

"I do not see why you find it so amusing."

"I am sorry." He climbed off me and allowed me to get off the sofa.

He stood there and tried so hard not to laugh any further.

"I think I shall go and read a book in the library."

"Oh there is no need for that Mel." He tried to maintain a serious face.

"I think there is."

I left the room and went to the library.

********************************************************************

I attempted to read several books each time getting bored and putting it down.

I could not focus on the words, all I could think of was Marcus.

Marcus kissing me, touching me and holding me.

Imagining he was the one I spent my marriage night with.

He was the one to take away my innocence.

In the end I decided that I should go back and see him.

I walked to his bedroom and knocked lightly but when I opened the door no one was there.

I then I remembered his study but when I opened the door I was rather surprised by what I saw.

Marcus was in there with two young girls and all three were completely naked.

The two girls appeared to be twins with long brown hair and childish faces.

I walked out quickly and slammed the door

The image of Marcus naked replayed over and over in my mind.

I felt my cheeks burn bright red, then I realised I was angry with him.

I began to walk off. When I reached near the end of the corridor I heard someone calling me.

"Melanie!"

I carried on walking. I felt him grab my arm and turn me round.

His clothes had clearly dressed quickly as his buttons on his shirt were mismatched.

"You should not of seen that."

"But I did."

"You can not be angry with me Melanie."

"Why ever not?"

"You share a bed with Alex every night. You deny me the privileges he receives and then expect me not to find love from somewhere else. It is not fair. We can never have a normal relationship and often I regret getting involved with you in the first place- "

"You regret it? Well I am sorry I have caused you so much trouble. I will not bother you again."

"No Melanie I do not want -"

"I obviously can not give you what you want."

I shook my arm form his hold and walked off.

I saw Alex at one point and hid round the corner, I wanted nothing to do with either of them.

I went out into the garden and sat under a tree and just wept.

The sun began to go down turning the whole garden a beautiful orange colour.

"What seems to be the matter ma'am?"
