Pharaoh's First Love

64

As he was about to leave and check on her back in the room. He left a room and entered the hallway before seeing both a Shelyn and Amarie walking down the hall while he smiled a bright white grin to them. “I see you’re up and about. Sorry for abandoning you so shortly, I wouldn’t have, but had to make sure certain details were straightened out. I see you’ve met Amarie.” He cast his eyes upon the girl, to which made Amarie’s thighs tense. She very much missed being with the pharaoh and being his dirty little…

She averted her eyes and her thoughts; it would not do well for her to grow slick. Shelyn smiled hurrying along to Calion. Which many would probably find odd considering she had just lost everything. But who else but the God Pharaoh Calion, could put such a lively smile upon such a girl?

Without thinking she draped her arms over his shoulders and gave him a tight embrace of warmth and acceptance. As if she radiated such a wonderful aura, but she did. When happy she was warm, and everything seem only more beautiful than it commonly was. No doubt any flower in the hall was blossoming with radiant color and beauty. “I have. May I keep her? When you’re gone, I find myself lonely and needing a companion too...” Her behavior completely different than before. Shelyn knew the flames she was toying with by acting like this, but as Amarie said, she couldn’t risk Calion not falling in love with her.

“Between my classes with you and Jin I still have to tend to my family’s garden. So, may I please keep her? It will help me forgive you for abandoning me so quickly this morning.” She offered a pouting face. She knew had had things to do that involved her family. But she just felt like being a brat. Offering him a taste of her that only Helm probably knew too well. And it’s not like she was asking for jewels or money or titles. She was asking for permission to have one of HIS concubines as her companion when he couldn’t be near or when she physically had to work.

Still she stayed pressed close with arms around him. Which served to show the height difference. Her blonde hair free and flowing and he pale skin contrasted to his lovely tan. No doubt they were both beautiful. No doubt they didn’t look like a powerful couple either. Surely anyone who saw them might think Shelyn was best fit for him as a mother to his children and a lovely wife. Calion naturally pulled her into the embrace, his arms wrapping around her back and pulling her warm body against his own as he breathed in her scent which filled his lungs and made him yearn to inappropriately kiss her deeply within the halls. He was still getting used to the fact that just a couple of days ago she wouldn’t get close to him, and now she was wrapping herself around him. Now, it had not gone unnoticed that her tone was slightly different than this morning. The shy girl who hesitantly offered up her virginity to him just a couple of hours prior.

The longer he held on her the longer he had missed her company and found himself truly wishing he could have some alone time with her again, but alas… these things would be best after the funeral in the evening. He opened his eyes and peered onto Amarie. “Keep her?” It took him by surprise. He had only rarely given up his concubines, and in truth he had fond memories of Amarie, despite not being with the girl in over half a year. He leaned back to lift Shelyn’s chin and look into her eyes. “You may… of course it’ll cost you.” He winked playfully, although it’s not like he’d ask for too much, undoubtedly, he would steal her away at some point during the day to run his hands over her body and lewdly stick his tongue down her throat. “Amarie,” Calion’s smooth voice called out for the girl who stood attention immediately. “I suppose this a bit unorthodox to assign you to another, though I gather by now you now Shelyn is not a concubine. You have my permission to serve her faithfully. If Mirien has any issues with your whereabouts, please have her speak to me.”

“Of course, My Pharaoh. Thank you.” She said meekly. Of course, another issue arose which worried Amarie.  Namely the fact, her bedroom in Mirien’s section of the palace that she shared with several other concubines. Even if she had the pharaoh’s permission… there was a lot that she still had to fear behind closed door, and she wasn’t exactly thrilled at the idea of returning to her room later in the day when Mirien would learn of her reassignment.

Shelyn smiled. When he agreed she offered him many vocal thank yous before bravely stealing a kiss from his lips. She had to be dominated. Anything to outdo Mirien. “For now, will that kiss do and perhaps a hug?” She asked innocently. As if she didn’t know that kissing him would only fuel his attack on her later for teasing him, but it was worth it. “Was my father and Helm ok? Helm wasn’t too difficult to get dressed, was he? They didn’t braid his hair too tight? He will get mad if it is too loose… is my father comfortable?” These things didn’t matter of course but despite her happy appearance she was still mourning. Calion had just done a good job of making her body feel like it was floating on a cloud.

“For now.” He whispered near her ear. Of course, even if she hadn’t asked for Amarie he would have taken something from her later in the day anyway, but now at least he had an excuse. After the bit of flirting and teasing taking place within the halls, he grew more serious and nodded to her. She talked about them as if they were still alive… but he didn’t have the heart to remind her they were dead. He would let her mourn as she needed. “Both are doing just fine. Helm is dressed in fine garbs and peacefully resting, and your father will be joining the procession. We’ll have a nice meal beforehand.” He shifted his eyes to Amarie. “She is welcome to attend as well; I’m only planning for it to be something small with Jin as well. “There was still the matter at hand of the whereabouts of Shelyn’s mother… undoubtedly Calion would be visiting his brother who was essentially imprisoned in his own room now for a couple of days. It would be best if the girls left the palace for that time. “If you don’t mind, if you plan to leave the palace to tend to the gardens, I ask you take Jin with you.” Calion said, knowing Jin would be accompanied by guards who would oversee not just the young boy, but by extension provide protection for Shelyn also.
Shelyn nodded. Offering another kiss and hug in appreciation for him doing all this. Then she hesitantly parted. "You will join afterwards right?" It sounded clinging she was sure. But after all she had was him. She didn’t wish to be apart too long. "I would really like us to enjoy playing a bit today. If you are still wanting to learn" Jin was sitting in the lounge. Sighing as he tried to keep busy with the strings still left to play. Upset one broke and no one knew how to fix it. Missing Shelyn at this point.
Calion reached forward, his fingers weaving through her hair on the side of her head and then around to cut the back as he pulled her in for a forehead kiss. “I’ll come find you when I finish with matters here. Perhaps you three can decide upon something for dinner later in the evening, which if so, feel free to go to the market, just make sure the guards always are within sight. Be safe.” He said before giving her a smile and turning away to begin making his way towards Yun’s part of the palace.
