Gentlemen Of The Court

Chapter Twenty One

"I heard an incident happened at the Gentlemen's Court yesterday." was the first thing Sebastian Westmoreland heard, as soon as he walked into Queen Rebecca's presence, at her court

"Good day, my Queen" Sebastian genuflected

"Oh such formalities are not necessary. Just answer me."

"It was nothing I couldn't handle" Sebastian finally answered with a curt smile after a while

"Oh I dare say it was more than you could handle Sebastian. You were openly defied in public..."

"Yes," Sebastian interjected

"And by a woman" she cut in

"Rebecca..." he issued

"And you'd obviously be a fool, if you think that was all I heard. You are my man, Sebastian. Never forget that. Meant to service me both in my bed, and out of it. You punish women on a weekly basis, as ordered by me. Surely there's no woman you couldn't have easily handled, if you wanted to. No woman in the whole of Florence would dare defy you. You don't even have to raise your whip up all the time, your charm and your cock, naturally gets you there"

"Where are you going with this Rebecca? Get to the point, you're trying to drive at"

"Did you Fuck this woman?" she voiced out furiously

"Wow. How didn't I see where the conversation was leading?" he swore

"A woman comes out of nowhere and despises you in public, yet you carry her kicking and screaming, to your bed. My sources tell me the both of you were in there for a long time. So have the decency to tell it to my face Sebastian. Did you make love to her? For weeks on end, I've begged you to touch me. To at least look at me, as the woman you once desired, and all I got was you're tired, or you're not in the mood, or whateber bullshit you chose to spurt out of your mouth in that instant. And yet, a random woman comes from nowhere, and she's in your bed? Real smooth of you, Sebastian. Real smooth. Well guess what? I'm still Queen of Florence. I'm not even her competition. I'm her Queen. Whatever I want, I get. And I will not fight for a man with one of my subjects. Listen and listen to me clearly Sebastian Westmoreland. I gave strict orders, that the errant gypsy should be caned twenty times. And yet she was caned twelve... "

"Yes I came to talk about that as well..." Sebastian bargained

"Shut up! I gave an order for a gypsy to be flogged twenty times, and yet she was flogged twelve, because the punisher on the task was interrupted by a woman. Which made him openly defy my order in front of the citizens of Florence, making me look weak"

"Rebecca, think about this" Sebastian tried to cajole, his expression changing to a grim one

"And if I, in my right as Queen, don't punish this grave error, then by all means, the whole of Florence would start to disobey me. Maybe my guards next, or perhaps the other Gentlemen of the court, in a bid to follow their leader who first started the act of defiance! Now, I won't attach a grave crime to the punisher, because it wasn't his fault he got interrupted, but I would however put a crime of death, on the woman who was bold enough to interrupt a public caning ordered by the Queen herself! The so called girl has managed to do what other gypsies hadn't successfully been able to do. She's managed to make me look stupid, in front of my people! And I hear she has a strange exotic beauty. She risks her life to save a gypsy from caning. How do I know she's not a gypsy herself? And you know what I do to gypsies who defy me this way? I pluck their wings. I crush them before they have the opportunity to do it again. But this gypsy won't be passing through your caning table Sebastian, because it appears she's used her feminine wiles and guiles to be-witch my punisher. She'll be heading straight for the execution table Sebastian, not a caning table! I hear her name is Delilah. Well dear miss Delilah is about to be erased from the world, for good. Guards!" the Queen angrily barked at her guards, to give them her order, when Sebastian raised his voice as well

"Rebecca! How dare you?! Guards, go back outside. Every single one of you. Leave us alone. Lock the door behind you, and let no one in" Sebastian fired the rapid instruction at the guards, who instantly obeyed him without thinking twice. His voice welded that much power.

When they were finally alone, Sebastian stalked towards her, catching her neck and gripping it with his callous fingers. She gasped

"Why Sebastian, I didn't know you had it in you. This wild, untamed ruthlessness. I've been trying to bring it to the surface for months without success, yet just a mention of what I plan to do with one girl, has the capacity to burn up the flames in you and bring you up to this point. I give her points for that.... Accomplishing what I couldn't" Rebecca smirked, then instantly gasped as Sebastian's fingers tightened around her neck, cutting off her airway

"I dare you to say one more snarky remark again Rebecca. Infact, I dare you to speak at all" Sebastian snapped, outrightly threatening her

She was still gasping for breath, when Sebastian abruptly released her neck, at once bringing her trembling lips to his, kissing her hard, and bruisingly. Her body was still shaking from the effects of the lack of air. Good.
