Pharaoh's First Love

54

“If your condition is love then out of respect for you, I will try to honor that. So, when the time comes you and I bond in the most intimate of ways it will be because you want to. And you /will/ want to eventually. Make no mistake Shelyn, I am a man that gets what he wants, and I want you entirely for myself. So much so that I’m willing to give myself entirely to you, unshared, if that is what you’d like.” He moved to kiss her neck and couldn’t help but tease her further.

“I won’t make you admit it aloud, but surely you feel a sense of pride in thinking that you would have this pharaoh all to herself. Of course,… I will help you each step of the way, you don’t have to fear me judging you for things you simply aren’t experienced in.”
"In the end it sounds like you get everything you wanted." She admitted. At this moment she wiggled some to adjust without thinking of how it might affect him. But her hips were hurting from the strain of keeping her legs locked. She was trying to get free.
"In truth I don’t like the idea that you’d continue laying with others when...you talk of wanting me. But I can’t be selfish. I can’t ask you to not do something when I myself cannot make up for it in return."
She was more considerate of him than herself.
"I ask that you allow me a room or even just a cot to lay my head when you decide to lay with others at night.... I know I share your meals.... but I won’t be in your way."
She said this with a heavy heart. He had urges and even though he gave her an offer she had not accepted or refused either way. Eventually he wouldn’t be content with whatever she had offered. She didn’t want to be so selfish and deny him that. "And... if you have a child anytime at all I won’t hold it against you. I promise to only give the best medical attention I can to help..." she smiled. Gently pushing him away.
It was like a cruel reality of things. They could make agreements all they wanted. It wouldn’t matter if he took anyone else to bed. She supposed that is what she feared most. Making him wait only to push him to another who would undoubtedly become his wife.
But in reality, all she had to do was given in once to him. Cave in just enough to send them spiraling. Enough that all he needed was one push before he couldn’t stand live with just the minor things.
Even if it made her happy to think he was all hers, was it really ok to be selfish and tell him he could only seek it from her? She was going to leave it in his hands. How important to him was the things he offered her and agreed with her. What was she truly worth to him in the end?
Slowly she moved away from him and made her way to the steps. And prepared to get out the water
Despite what she thought he had little interest in using his harem to meet his needs. It would undoubtedly take some coaxing, but he was certain in time she’d give into things. Not necessarily sex, but as the girl would find out there were other things the two of them could enjoy until such time they bonded as one.
Some in his harem would undoubtedly not be too pleased if they heard of this arrangement. Mirien would undoubtedly flip out at the idea of him bedding Shelyn, after all Mirien knew the dark truth in that Calion could have kids, she just happened to take care of the pesky problems before he even knew.

Calion moved to walk to the stairs as well, seeing her head hung a little low as she likely had quite a bit on her mind. He took her hand and squeezed gently to reassure her before leading her to the towels.
“If it means not being able to sleep next to you then I think I would just prefer not to involve my harem. Don’t stress too much about it, I told you, I want you. I don’t need substitutes, I’m certain we’ll figure out ways to get by. Now then…” He let go and tossed her a towel with a playful smile upon his face.
“Do dry your hair thoroughly, I’d like to sleep without clothes tonight and your hair gets pretty chilly against my skin when wet.” Calion said, drying his own hair as he shamelessly stood nude before her. It likely went without saying he would want her to sleep in the nude as well. He couldn’t help to want to see more of her, to touch her bare skin as he held her through the night.
She looked at him when he took her hand. The gentle squeeze calmed her thoughts. Was this truly for real? And not some cruel joke.
Of course, once they lay together as one it’d only be a matter of time before she was pregnant. Truthfully, she doubted that he couldn’t have a child. But for now she saw no reason to start asking about his harem if any were pregnant however...
She squeaked catching the towel. Nodding as dried her skin first before twisting her matted hair and doing the best to get out most the water. It had not dawned on her that her trunk of clothes and other items were in the medical wing until now. "Would it be too much to ask about my trunk?"
First things first she needed her brush. Then they could talk of other things aside from their slow and awkward relationship. But at least he occupied her mind with other things, so she wasn’t mopey anymore
“Why? It’s not like I’m going to let you get dressed.” He said, sternly for a few moments before chuckling softly.
“I’m kidding, I’ll go and talk to the guards to fetch it and bring it in.” He wrapped the towel low on his waist, his pelvic bones jutting out to form a nice ‘V’ shape as his sun kissed skin was stretched tautly over his bones and muscle. Approaching her from behind as he planted a kiss on her neck and whispered.
“Make sure the towel is around you when they bring your trunk. You are only mine to be seen.” He ‘threatened’, but playfully bit her. She could see it as overly possessive, or instead see it as charming that already he considered her as his and wouldn’t share her. At least with other males, considering he did allow her to kiss another servant. In truth he might even let her do more with another servant, after all Shelyn might want to know what to expect when being with Calion. A friend might be useful to give her some idea of what to do and what to expect.
"I'll meet you by the bed." He said, releasing her skin from his nip and brushing past her as he set out to give guards some orders to fetch the trunk left back in Helm's room.
He cheeks hurt from how much he left her to blush this night. But no need to fear her towel being left behind.
She took the time to dry her hair a bit more then wrapped the towel around herself. She picked up the bunny and sip and made her way around and back to his bed area.
Only she moved to the closest open window or wall she could near his bed and looked out. It had already started growing dark. She hated the fall and winter seasons. The days seemed shorter. Though the night air was always pleasant. She found herself yawning. Maybe that hot bath and a nice supper were really what she had been needing.
She cupped her fingers and offered a soft prayer into the night. "...I ask you protect us...protect the other soldiers still out there...that you protect pharaoh and his family from harm....even the concubine who dislikes me so....please give me strength to continue my life...my families work...please help me to remember my faith..."
