Amadeus's POV
I groaned in annoyance and frustration as I was awoken to my mother's frantic screeching from the other side of my door, I embarrassingly squeaked in fright as my bedroom door was swung wide open.The door made contact with the wall with a heavy smack as my mother marched into my room stopping in front of me as I gripped the covers tightly across my naked chest."Amadeus! You know today is of the up most importance, get out of bed right this instance and clean up!" She huffed before pulling my arm making me stand up and pushing me across to my bathroom where the maids had already made my bath."Now hurry up! And make sure you look presentable and elegant! You want to attract the most handsome suitors!" She said with earnest before shutting the door and leaving me.I sighed and stretched before shedding off my pyjama bottoms and slowly dipping myself into the rose scented water.Today was my 21st birthday....most people would be happy and celebrating it by partying and possibly getting drunk. But not me. I unfortunately was very unhappy because of our stupid tradition.Today I was to be sold to the highest bidder, I had been dreading this day since the age of 16 when my parents told me about it.I soaked in the bath for a little while so that I wouldn't make my mother even more angry, I wrapped myself in my fluffy bathrobe and headed to my closet as I passed my bed I saw my outfit that was displayed for me and groaned.The outfit chosen is one I loathed the most, it was delicate and tricky to put on which required me to always call for assistance.After my servants scrambled into my bedroom and helped me into my outfit I joined my parents in the dining hall.As soon as I entered the room my mother stood up and gasped before placing her hand on her chest and looked at me lovingly."You look so handsome...." She gracefully made her way to me and pulled me into a gentle and loving hug."Thanks..." I gave both my parents a sad smile, they looked at each other and than at me."Come....let us go into the ball room, the people are waiting." My father gave my shoulder a reassuring squeeze before leaving the room whilst my mother kissed my forehead and linked her arm in mine before we left to enter the ballroom.Once we were announced the ballroom door opened, quite a big crowd of suitors came which were a mixture of men and women. Not just anyone could bid me though, before my 21st birthday I had to send out information based on what gender im attracted to and what age range im willing to marry. This is to weed out anyone who is seen as "unsuitable", other than that im totally going in blind as per the tradition.I gulped and coughed nervously as I scanned the room, some looked at me with lust. Others looked as though they too were forced to do this. I hoped to be lucky like my parents, where they fell in love soon after their marriage.I gracefully sat on my throne in between my parents and tried my best to look unfazed but I doubt it was working, with a nod to my father the bidding began.The room was filled with shouts and murmurs, this bidding had gone on for almost an hour! God was I bored! I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed."One million pounds." The room fell into silence, I looked up to see movement within the crowd before the bidder came into view. I sucked in air between my teeth and stared at her wide eyed.
Queen Regina
She was known through the lands as being harsh and stone cold, numerous rumours always surfaced about her every week.She stepped forward and looked me up and down as if she was seeing if I was good enough. I sank low in my seat as she stared at me before flicking her eyes to my parents and curtsied."Anyone to bid any higher?" My father asked. Silence."Then let us finish the bidding! Thank you all for coming." My father boomed, everyone scurried off. Leaving the rest of us alone."We will leave you two to introduce yourselves...." My mother said before she and my father left.I smiled at Regina shyly but she just looked at me in return, I got up and walked towards her."Hello Regina, I'm Amadeus." Now being in front of her I realised how small she was, she only came up to my chest."I know who you are and its Queen Regina. The wedding will take place in my kingdom in two weeks time." I slowly nodded and with that she curtsied and left.I went to my room rejecting lunch which the maids called me for, I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling.I knew from the moment she opened her mouth that this marriage was going to be a struggle.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Amadeus's POV
The past week and a half had been a blur, My mother and father were busy getting my belongings moved over to Regina's kingdom as that was where I was to live after the wedding.....whilst I basically did very little.I also heard absolutely nothing from Regina regarding the plan for how the wedding is to be like.....I mean I am going to be her husband in four days, I should get a say in how our wedding should be like.I sighed in defeat and decided to take a calming walk around the gardens, this palace has been nothing but chaos lately and it was driving me insane.I started to think about my first meeting with Regina, to be honest I was surprised with how small she was. From how everyone described her they made her sound like she was huge but even with her small stature she was indeed intimidating.My thoughts came to an abrupt stop as I heard my father calling my name, I looked up at him and smiled before I strode towards him."Yes father?""Come with me, I need to have a private talk with you." I nodded before following him into his study.Once we entered the room he stared at me sternly before sighing."Amadeus....I know you never asked for this but as per tradition it must be followed. I asked you here to see how you were holding up?" He raised an eyebrow at me and smiled."I know...I mean I'm okay for now, I'll get through it." I gave him my most earnest smile to which he pulled me into a big hug and squeezed me tightly.After my talk with father I decided to have a nap, I was too tired mentally and physically to do anything.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Regina's POV
I huffed in frustration as I was poked and prodded by my tailor as she fitted my dress."Could you please stop poking me with those pins!" I gritted my teeth as I glared at the woman who nodded frantically before continuing her job."Regina, calm down. She wouldn't be prodding you if you kept still." I looked up to see my mother walk in, she raised her eyebrow at me as if to dare me to talk back to her. I lowered my harsh gaze at her and she smiled."Yes, mother." She came forward and kissed both my cheeks before giving me her biggest smile whilst looking me up and down."You look stunning! I'm so happy you agreed to go to that auction, you're finally getting married!" She cooed and I frowned rolling my eyes.As you can tell, I did not want to go to through with this marriage. My mother had been pestering me about it since I turned 21! She kept going on about wanting grandchildren and I had enough of her nagging so I went to the auction to shut her up."Regina, you are 25 years old without a man to help you rule our land....you will grow to love him my dear." She said to me sternly before leaving.I growled frightening my tailor before shooing her off somewhere. I needed space to breath, I delicately took off my dress before laying on my bed.I loved my mother dearly but she had always been hard on me, I've always known it was because I was a girl. I had 3 other siblings all boys but yet she was always easy on them, I never got along with them even as we got older.To make matters worse my kingdom is very patriarcle. They don't take me seriously because I am a woman because they believe women cannot be leaders and that I need help.So I had been forced to find a husband, whilst at the auction I had debated whether or not that I was going to bid....but I had an inkling that this was my only chance to find a decent enough husband plus he was very attractive.I wonder if he had heard the rumours about me? People think I must be stupid, I know all about the rumours. I never said anything because I didn't have time to partake in the stupid gossip regarding how I am.I sighed before calling one of the maids to fetch the tailor so that I could get this dress fitting over and done with.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amadeus's POV
It was the day before my wedding and everything had been moved over to Regina's kingdom.I was now getting ready for my journey to Regina's kingdom which was a good 2 hours away. I looked at my room one last time before shutting the door and making my way to the carriage.My mother and father smiled sadly as they waited by the carriage door."We'll see you tomorrow at the ceremony." I nodded before I hugged them both tightly, I waved to them both as the carriage started moving.My heart was beating violently inside my chest as my nerves began to get the better of me. I took deep breathes trying to calm myself down, which helped a just a little.I decided to distract myself by eating the snacks I brought along for the ride.Some time had past before I began to see the peaks of the castle and I gasped pressing my face against the window in awe. Their palace was huge! The carriage came to a stop and stepped out, as I stepped out I was greeted by the castle guards who escorted me into the castle.Ascending down the steps was Regina and another woman who looked a lot like her. I bowed in formality to them and glanced over at Regina who yet again disregarded me."Prince Amadeus, its finally nice to meet you. I'm Regina's mother Genevieve." She smiled and pressed at Regina's back signalling her to greet me."Hello....""You'll have to excuse my daughter....it takes her awhile to warm up to people. Now if you'll excuse me its time for bed, Regina show Amadeus his room for tonight." And at that she left us alone as the servant took my bags to my room."Follow me." She turned away from me and headed up the staircase, we walked down the long corridor before she stopped at a door and opened it for me."My room is just across from yours, if there is anything you need the servants room is two doors to your left. Do not under any circumstances wake me up, got it?" She said sternly and I gulped and nodded at her."Good, goodnight...." She said before entering her room and closing the door, I blinked a few times before entering my room and closing the door.I threw myself on the bed stifling a yawn as I realised how tired I was before kicking off my shoes and falling asleep not bothering to take off my clothes.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Today was the day, I was awoken early in the morning by servants who made me bath in expensive and sweet smelling oils. I was than sat down to style my hair, I frowned as I wanted to just leave my hair in its usual fluffy curly state.God knows how much wax they used to slick back my hair but by the end of it I had a headache from how rough they were brushing my hair. My outfit was then careful put on as to not ruin my hair....I actually looked pretty good.I was swiftly ushered into the massive reception hall and put in my place in wait for Regina. As time went I grew even more nervous, so nervous that I started to sweat.I looked over at the guests to see my mother and father smiling at me encouragingly which actually helped.But my nerves spiked up as the wedding march played. The doors were swung open to reveal Regina who looked absolutely gorgeous as she walked down the aisle.Once she got to the stand we both kneeled as the priest began the ceremony. I glanced over at her to see that her afro was placed in a high top bun and decorated in jewels and her lips covered in a red glossy paint.As he finished his prayer over us we were signalled to stand up, we turned to face each other. Regina's usual disinterested look was replaced with something else that displayed some vulnerability which surprised me."You may now kiss the bride." I smiled nervously at her before I gingerly cupped her cheek and gave her a quick peck on the lips to which the whole room erupted in cheers.Before our marriage was truly legal, Regina's kingdom had a tradition where the bride and groom held the end of a wafer in their mouth and broke it in half. So in which we did very quickly.After the ceremony was finished we were led into the ballroom where we were to feast, drink and dance till late evening.I took the advantage of eating my full since I hadn't eaten all day, I glanced over at Regina who honestly looked bored out of her mind."Queen Regina, would you do me the honour of dancing with me?" She looked very surprised as I offered her my hand, it took her a few seconds to accept it. I led her to the centre of the room as we began to waltz, I felt all eyes on us as we swept across the dance floor.For once I actually saw a small smile grace upon her face before stopping as we grew tired. The party went on for awhile before people started slowly trickling back home, I managed to say a sweet goodbye to my parents before they left. As it was getting late Regina and I were led to our bedroom which was actually Regina's own room, as the door was opened my mouth dropped wide open at how huge her room was and at the special decorations that were displayed for our wedding night.......I blushed a deep red as the maids giggled leaving us alone, I turned to Regina who also was embarrassed by the decorations."We don't even know each other and they expect us to fuck already and have babies." She growled before grabbing her bin and throwing them all away.She turned to me and this time instead of giving me her scowl she seemed to be giving me a once over."You can bathe first as this dress is tricky to take off so it'll take time." She said as she opened the bathroom door for me, I thanked her as I got my silk trousers out of my bags which were transferred to our room before closing the door and stripping. I sighed in happiness as I was now free to wash the disgusting wax out of my hair, once I was done I slid on my trousers and shouted out to her to ask if she was decent to which she replied with a yes.I stepped back into the bedroom and found that she placed a pillow and a spare blanket on the floor, I arched a brow at her and she huffed."I'm not letting you in my bed with me....you can sleep on the floor for tonight until I make arrangements." I was going to reply but I sighed in defeat and tried to make myself comfortable on the bare floor.Silence passed for awhile before I decided to speak to break the tension in the room."If you think what your maids did was embarrassing....Even though I'm 21 years old before I came here last night my father decided to give me a sex talk...and told me how in my kingdom on the wedding night a few people would be present to watch them make love." There was more silence before she erupted in laughter and I joined in."Oh my god...." She sat up covering her mouth as she continued to laugh, she stopped a looked at me as though thinking about something."You can sleep next to me....just don't touch me. Its cruel of me to make you sleep on the floor" I nodded as she put a pillow to act as a barrier between us, I got up and got into bed and under the covers."Um...goodnight.""Goodnight."
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Regina's POV
Last night was.....awkward. I cant believe my maids did that! I knew my mother was behind this, she can't wait for me to have children!I was currently getting dressed in my bathroom whilst Amadeus was getting dressed in the bedroom. Amadeus wasn't what I expected....so far.I opened the door completely forgetting that he was still changing, to reveal Amadeus just about pulling up his trousers showing me a sliver of his silk undergarments and his naked back. I squeaked in surprise and he turned his head to me eyes widened."I-Im sorry I'm so used to having the room to myself that I forgot you were changing!" I quickly turned around."Um...it's fine. You can turn around now." I turned slowly to him and diverted my eyes still embarrassed, I glanced up to see him smiling at me softly. I looked him up and down, he was wearing a long sleeved blue tunic and black trousers. His sandy blonde curly locks were currently in a bed hair state."Now....I need to talk to you. Now that we are married I have some ground rules I would like you to follow.No public displays of affection unless we are at important gatherings, when you come with me to meetings do not speak unless I allow it and since we both know that neither of us had a choice in this don't expect me to be opening up to you.No prying into my business and don't ever undermine my authority, got it?" His smile faltered and it pursed into a thin line before sighing and nodding in understanding."May I ask a question Regina?" I narrowed my eyes at him."Its Queen Regina remember? And yes you may ask a question.""First of all wouldn't it be better if I just call you Regina....because to outsiders it sounds like I'm more of a servant rather than your husband....but for my question. Why can I not speak in meetings unless you say so?" I frowned at his first remark....but he was telling the truth, if we dont act like husband and wife it would make it even harder for the my officials to take me seriously."Because you are not from our land they would find it highly offensive if you decided to put in your say in how to rule our kingdom.....and fine you may call me Regina." He nodded and smiled brightly."Makes sense.""Come with me for breakfast and then I shall give you a tour of the palace." I walked him down the hall to the dining room where the servants very carefully placed assortments of fresh fruit, bread and porridge."By the way I never got a chance to say this yesterday but you looked very pretty in your....um dress." I turned around to see him averting his gaze as a light blush dusted upon his tanned skin."....Thank you."We both sat and ate in a comfortable silence, I secretly glanced a few times at him from across the table.Once we were both done I began to show him around, I took notice of how he lingered more when we came to the library."So...Regina. What is your favourite type of book?" I turned to him as he caressed the spine of a random book he picked it up from the shelves, he looked up at me patiently waiting for my answer."I prefer to read books about other cultures...." I answered quietly as I ran my fingers across the shelf."I honestly am very much into romance novels." He looked at the floor smiling sheepishly."Well we better get on with the rest of the tour since my mother and brothers wants to meet you properly."After the tour I quickly got us to the throne room, as we entered the room my mother and three brothers were sat in their thrones. Amadeus and I exchanged formalities with them before sitting down across from them."Hello daughter and Amadeus, I trust that you slept well?""Yes I did, thank you for asking your highness.""These are my youngest children. Xavier, Erik and Raphael." Amadeus bowed to all three of my brothers to which they returned. Xavier was second born and the tallest, and also the one I got on with the least since he had my mother's personality. Erik and Raphael were non identical twins with Erik being the most tolerable out of my 3 brothers."So....Amadeus, my mother tells us you're from the neighbouring kingdom. I hope your marriage to my sister brings our kingdoms closer together." Xavier did his best fake smile as he turned his eyes to Amadeus who nodded and gave him a quick smile, I rolled my eyes at my brother."Something the matter dear sister?" He narrowed his eyes at me."No..." I gritted my teeth and smiled at him."Now, I'm sure Regina told you what rules you should follow when you're with her? There are some customs I would like to discuss with you about our way of life in this palace as a whole as to avoid upsetting anyone.When you would like to go anywhere outside of the palace grounds you must always have a bodyguard with you. Public displays of affection are frowned upon unless we are at prestigious parties and lastly you are not to mingle with...commoners unless we are to attend events. Any questions?" She smiled at him sweetly as she waited for his answer."Um, no I understand your highness.""Please call me Genevieve."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amadeus's POV
After the talk Regina and I left the room. We walked down the hall in silence before I decided to speak."Why are your rules so....""Oppressive and stupid?" I frowned and nodded, she sighed as well and stopped walking."I honestly have no idea....my mother just keeps telling me that its always been this way so we must obey it. Much to my dismay.""I understand that they are most likely written to protect the royals but....how can you know what your people want without being around them?? A kingdom is nothing without the support and happiness of its people." I looked at Regina wide eyed as I realised that I very much spoke out of turn."I am so sorry Regina! I-I didn't mean to speak out of turn!" I bowed low and stayed like that until I heard her giggle."....It is fine. I'm not offended, if it was my mother you said that to on the other hand you would of been in big trouble." I gulped and smiled weakly."I have a meeting tomorrow from early morning and it'll last about 2 hours, make sure you wake up on time." She said sternly, the light atmosphere that appeared minutes before turned back into the tense atmosphere once again.We've only been married a day and she already confuses me, she's nice to me one minute and then the next she's ordering me around and being harsh.We parted ways as I went to the library to seek out any good books whereas Regina went off to get things ready for the meeting tomorrow.As I picked a book that looked the most interesting to me, I sat down in a big comfy armchair and began to read but as I began to read my mind wondered to my parents. I've only been gone a day and I miss them terribly.My parents and I have always been a close knit family, my parents have always been loving and supportive to me. I've never been this far away from home before and I was starting to feel homesick.I huffed and closed the book knowing that with my mind wandering like this that I was not going to be able to concentrate on reading.Leaning back and letting myself get sucked into the softness of the plush armchair I began to slowly fall asleep. I groaned in annoyance as I was shaken, I slowly opened my eyes squinting slightly."You've been asleep for awhile and missed dinner...." Regina frowned as I rubbed my face and stood up."Oh...that's a shame." As if on que my stomach rumbled."I got the maids to leave you some cheese and grapes on the bedside table so that you can at least have a little snack before you go back to sleep.""Thank you very much." I smiled as we both made our way back to the bedroom and slept the night away too tired to eat my snack.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Regina's POV Amadeus was definitely not a morning person.....I had to slap him with a pillow to get him to wake up. He groggily made his way to the bathroom muttering grumpily his good morning before slamming the door shut.I was already dressed and had done my morning routine, I clicked my tongue in annoyance as I dreaded this meeting with my advisors. They were very adamant on me trying to gain power from the other kingdoms to which I always refused because we did not need that kind of power and they knew it.I looked up as Amadeus came out of the bathroom and I flushed at the sight of his naked chest and him in nothing but a towel slung around his waist. Surprisingly he was toned and had lean muscles, he looked up at me and gave me his usual sweet smile. I immediately went about busying myself as I gave him the privacy to get dressed."So....am I allowed to ask what this meeting is about?" I turned to see that he had put on some formal trousers, his hair still a bit damp and naked chest still on display. He looked at me and quirked his eyebrow."Yes....its mostly going to be about the festival coming up in a few months." At the mention of a festival he gleamed and turned his attention fully on to me as he put on his tunic."Festival!? What kind of festival?" I stiffened as he stepped closer to me, a waft of sweet oranges and his natural scent hit me. I swallowed.....I did not realise how good he smelled, I flicked my eyes up to his face and sighed."It is a festival of love, it's a day where instead of the men to lead in romantic gestures it's the women....its is full of dancing, eating, drinking and partying." His smile grew bigger as he peered at me, I narrowed my eyes at him."What?""So if we went....you'd have to lead?" He grinned and I flushed and slapped his chest and clicked my tongue."Enough of that! Now let's go eat breakfast before we are late....." I brushed past him walking quickly towards the dining hall, I exhaled as I sat down and was presented with an assortment of fruit and pastries. I looked up to see Amadeus sit opposite me and dig into his breakfast.I tried desperately to calm my heart as it fluttered furiously in my chest, I did not understand why my chest tightened like that at his suggestion that I attend the festival with him. I never attended it, I had no need to and still have no need to. It was not mandatory for me to attend.After eating I quickly lead us to my private office, on our way I reminded him not to talk unless spoken to and to just accompany me at the table. He nodded and said nothing else. As we entered the room, my advisors got up and bowed to me saying their good mornings, I nodded in return as I sat down at the head of the table with Amadeus sitting beside me. They all peered at Amadeus as if to assess him but as I soon as I spoke they tore their gazes away from him and on to me.
Amadeus's POV
This meeting was such a bore! For an hour Regina has been arguing with her advisors because they want her to gain more power for her kingdom, stealing a glance at Regina shows that it was not just me that was finding this topic boring and frustrating. "For what reason must I pressurise our neighbouring kingdoms? Our kingdom is wealthy, poverty is rarely an issue in recent years, our crops are plentiful and the people happy! So please....once again tell me the reason why you all think I should gain more power from our neighbours when we already have what we need?" Her tone was sharp and dark as she addressed them, I looked at them as they all glanced at each other and rightfully looked fearful to answer her question. She quirked her eyebrow at them as she glared at them each individually and I bit my lip in order not to smile at their visible fear."Well, I am waiting." ".....No reason your highness, we will drop the idea." The one sat to my right squeaked out as he audibly gulped."Good, now we can get onto the importance of the festival of love." At the talk of the festival, I sat up straighter and swayed a little in happiness, Regina seemed to notice as I saw her turn to me in the corner of my eye. I turned to her to see her grace me with a small amused smile and I blushed and turned my head away."Amadeus...." I whipped my head to her as I heard her softly say my name which had a shiver run down my spine, I would never tell her this but I enjoyed the way she said my name."Yes, Regina?" "Would you like to have your say in this matter?" She held my gaze as I just gawked at her, I opened and closed my mouth wanting to speak but nothing came out. I was still surprised by her asking my opinion. But before I could speak one of her advisors tried to object."But your Hig-" Before he could finish Regina held up her hand and turned to face him with an angry frown upon her pretty face."Did I address you?""N-No but it-""That is what I thought, yes he may be an outsider but he is now my husband and I would like his opinion on the matter! He is now part of our kingdom, he may be allowed to speak his opinion freely especially if I ask for it! If you ever interrupt Amadeus or me again I will have you thrown out of this meeting, this goes for every one of you! Got it?" She hissed angrily and they all nodded dumbly even as anger to her dismissal of them was evident on their faces. I flushed deeply as she turned back to me and gave me an encouraging smile, I licked my lips nervously and began to speak.After another hour of discussing the festival which entailed me having to ignore the advisor's snide comments about my ideas for the festival, the only thing that kept me in one piece was Regina's encouraging pats on my hand to keep going and that even if they were not listening to me at least she was. Once Regina ended the meeting and dismissed everyone else she slumped heavily in her chair, throwing her head back and groaning."Are they always like that?" I asked softly"Urgh! Yes. It is highly annoying and demeaning! Do not take it too personally about them being rude to you, they do not like me either." She snorted and looked over at me."Well...that actually helps a little. Thank you...for defending me. It means a lot." She waved her head as if to dismiss my gratitude."No need to thank me, it is true you are my husband so you have every right to voice your opinion. I meant what I said about wanting to hear your opinion....they had no right to dismiss you like that just because you are not from our kingdom." She stood up and motioned for me to follow her, my heart swelled at that. As much as I do not know much about her I could tell from the way she carried herself in that meeting that her people's happiness was important to her and that she was not power-hungry."Would....would you like to join me for a walk around the grounds?" She turned her head behind her towards me and I could see that she was slightly flushed."Yes, that would be lovely." I caught up with her and held up my arm for her to take which she shyly took and took a glance up at me, when she realised that I was looking at her she whipped her head away."I know you said that I shouldn't pry..." She sighed as we continued walking, we both waved whenever we came in contact with anyone on the grounds before she turned her head to me again.".....I apologise for my harsh words when we first met, I just..." She stopped and looked around before looking back at me."Sorry, could we continue this privately? I have space in the gardens away from prying eyes." I nodded and allowed her to lead the way, she moved briskly in desperation. She only began to slow down once we approached what must be her private space, she sat down on one of the benches and beckoned me to do the same."As I was saying...the only reason why I behaved liked that at our first meeting and later on after our wedding was because I have learnt from an early age to not form attachments or to show much emotion because whenever I did I was belittled and not taken seriously by my own family and by my own advisors as I became of age to rule. I am sure you have sensed the tension and awkwardness of my family, it also doesn't help that many of the council and advisors do not believe women should rule by themselves because we are seen as too emotional and weak. You did no wrong and yet I behaved in a childish manner, I know both of us never asked for this but I hope you could forgive my harsh words and at least become friends?" As she finished speaking she began to pick at her dress as she waited for my reply, I sighed and held her hand and took her chin in my other hand and turned her head to look at me."I forgive you and of course I would love to become friends. Thank you for taking the time to apologise for your actions and for helping me to understand you a bit better, I am sure it must have been difficult for you to be so vulnerable." Her chin wobbled a bit and she bit her lip at an attempt to stop herself from crying but failed, I let go of her hand and wiped her tears away with my thumb and turned and took my hand that was on her chin and placed it on the back of her head to allow her space to cry on my shoulder to which she did with no hesitation as she clutched onto my jacket.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Regina's POV
I wanted the ground to swallow me whole...thinking back to last week and how I sobbed and clutched onto Amadeus's shoulder whilst he whispered sweet words into my ear. After I had my little meltdown I couldn't bring myself to look into his eyes, I could not endure the soft look in his eyes whenever he looked at me.I shook my head as I tried to focus back on the letters in my hand, I was currently reading and replying to letters from suppliers wanting to help cater to the festival. Amadeus was in my office with me currently burying his nose in a romance novel he plucked from the library, since last week I had begun to notice things about his appearance that I hadn't noticed before.He has light freckles dusting across his nose and cheeks, his hazel eyes were bit more green when the sun hit his face, his had a small beauty spot just above his upper lip and that he had a little scar above his left eyebrow.I scowled at myself for getting distracted yet again as I dipped my quill in the ink, Amadeus must have heard me as he peered up from his book and made his way over to me."Something wrong?" He asked as he peered down at the mountain of letters I had to reply to."...Would you like some help?" I looked up and him shyly and nodded, I scooted over a little to give him space on my desk as he picked up another chair and moved it next to me. I gave him a pile for him to read and to put the letters of the suppliers he thinks would be a great addition to the festival to one side and others that would not suit the festival to the other side so that it was easier to sort out.We continued to work in comfortable silence, well...Amadeus looked comfortable. I was screaming on the inside as we were sat so close together his knees would knock against mine from time to time, again I could smell the fragrance of sweet oranges on him from my selection of bath oils. I had to pinch my stocking covered thigh discretely in order to stop myself from leaning over and inhaling his scent like a creep.I jumped a little as I felt his hand touch my shoulder, jolting me from my thoughts."Y-Yes?""Sorry I did not mean to scare you but I could not help but look at the time...." I frowned and looked up at the clock, it was well into the evening nearing dinner time. I politely thanked him for notifying me, he got up and held out his hand for me to take which I took hesitantly whilst flushing furiously. I had noticed ever since I opened myself up to him he has a bit more direct and bold with his touches but still abiding to no public displays of affection."We shall continue with the letters tomorrow if you would like to join me again? I know it is not the most exciting...." I trailed off knowing that I was about to start rambling."Of course, I did not expect ruling a kingdom would be any fun." He gave me his signature smile and a wink."Well...thank you for helping me, because of you we really put a dent in those letters. After dinner, I'm going to have a long bath because my back is killing me from being hunched over for so long..." I took my hand away from his and rubbed my lower back and grunted, he frowned and slipped his hand down to my lower back and pressed rubbing his thumb in circles as if to soothe me."Hmm...for a queen you have terrible posture." I gaped at him as he sniggered, I punched his arm and tried to look angry and obviously failed as once he looked at my face again he began to laugh even harder."...I must confess my posture was indeed foul whilst reading those letters." I muttered softly, stopping Amadeus in his tracks. I squeaked in surprise as I felt him tilt my chin to look up at him."All jokes aside...are you okay?" My eyes widened at the pure honesty and concern shown in his eyes and as I did not trust my voice, I merely nodded and he smiled."Good! Now let us get some food in our bellies!" He urged me to move with his hand upon the small of my back still, I ignored the warmth of his large hand and how nice and comforting it felt. I groaned in pleasure as I gently lowered myself into the tub, the hot water doing wonders for my muscles. I hummed and I began to pour a lavender scented oil into the water. I leaned back into the tub, letting my head fall back onto the edge of the tub as I stared up at the ceiling, skimming the water with my hand.My mind was foggy not just from my bath but from the amount of wine I consumed at dinner with Amadeus. I was not drunk but bordering on tipsy, I did not usually have more than half a glass of sweet wine at dinner but with the ease of flow of our conversation and budding friendship, I did not notice how much I had drunk until I became giddy and began to touch Amadeus with a boldness I never had.After my hands began to prune and my bath began to turn cold I got out, drying myself with my towel before slipping on my nightdress. I slipped out of the bathroom as quietly as I could as I did not know if Amadeus had fallen asleep or not and did not want to risk waking him up.The door closed with a soft click and I turned to come face to face with Amadeus who was just about to climb into bed. He let out a small gasp as he looked at me, his eyes blown wide as he looked me up and down.I frowned as I followed his eyes and let out a curse as I realised why he was looking at me like that...my nightdress was made of a flimsy material which was basically transparent. Fuck
Amadeus's POV
My mouth felt dry as I took in Regina's form, I willed myself to look away but I could not. Her almost transparent nightdress made my body heat up in arousal, I could see the outline her ample breasts the white nightdress contrasting against her dark skin and the tufts of dark curls between her legs. Her nightdress hid very little... My eyes shifted up to her face to see her looking everywhere but me, surprisingly she did not make a move to cover herself at that moment but simply moved towards the bed and slipped under the covers with only the top of her head showing. I stood over the bed for a few more moments before I too slipped under the covers, I cursed at myself for looking and eyeing her up like a pervert but...honestly from the moment I met her I found her highly attractive, the combination of the amount of wine I had consumed with Regina at dinner did not help the obscene thoughts I had swimming in my head right now.I turned my body towards Regina eyeing her back and threw back the covers, at that action, she instantly curled up hugging her pillow still not looking towards me."Regina...I did not mean to stare at you. I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable, I hope this does not harm our friendship?" I murmured softly, she peeked her head up at me and she mumbled something that I could not hear."...Pardon?" She whipped her head at me, eyeing me frustratingly."I said...I did not mind. If it is you, I do not mind. You did not make me uncomfortable, I forgot I picked this nightdress out." She then turned her body fully towards me and smiled shyly, she flushed and wiggled closer to me."You smell really good..." My body stiffened at her confession and based on her reaction she must have thought she made me uncomfortable because she fumbled out an apology and tried to get out of the bed but I quickly held onto her hips to still her."Calm down, I was just surprised is all. Can I ask you something?" She nodded"Can I kiss you?" Her eyes widened and she looked like she was thinking about the question hard."Y-Yes you may." At her acceptance, I felt giddy and gently cupped her cheek before I placed a chaste kiss on her lips. I pulled back to see her reaction and just from that little kiss she was practically panting, I began to kiss her again, softly and gently to which she returned. I could taste the sweet wine and cream pudding on her lips, I groaned as I deepened the kiss, wrapping one of my arms around her waist and pulling her flush against me. I pulled back to catch my breath and flushed at the sight of her, she blinked slowly as she surged forward and continued our kiss. I gasped as she took my hand and allowed me to cup her breast, pulling back I looked to her to see if it was okay to do so."I saw you look at them...if it is you then it is fine." She rasped, I so desperately wanted to touch her skin so I stroked my hand down her body until I reached the bottom of her nightdress. I flicked my eyes up to her face and asked her permission with my eyes and she nodded and I slid my hand under relishing at how soft her skin was. She moaned softly as I kissed her again swallowing her moans, I gently bypassed between her legs as that was something I was going to explore at another time with her permission of course. I reached my goal and cupped her breast thumbing her nipple and she whimpered and pulled back from our kiss hiding her face in my shoulder, I groaned as she kissed my neck and I felt myself grow hard. And at that the spell was broken, I reluctantly pulled back before we got carried away. She whimpered as I released her and tried to chase the kiss but I stopped her. Her eyes flung open and she looked at me in confusion before pursing her lips in a thin line and sighed."We should stop...I would rather go all the way when we are not buzzing on alcohol." She nodded before kissing my cheek, she made a small noise as she looked down and saw the obvious tent in my pyjama bottoms. I blushed deeply and hid my face in her shoulder."Do not worry about that...I think we should get some sleep." I placed a soft kiss on her neck before turning away with my back facing her, she mumbled her goodnight and wiggled closer to me and wrapping her arms around my waist. I smiled and slowly began to drift off to sleep.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Amadeus's POV
I felt very uncomfortable, I flushed as I felt Regina's breasts pressed tightly against my back. What also didn't help was the fact that I was hard from last nights....indulgences.I turned to face Regina and smiled as I could see that she was still fast asleep, I kissed her forehead and Regina wrinkled her face and slowly began to open her eyes."Morning..." I mumbled to which she groaned and yawned, she wiggled more closely to me throwing her leg across my waist."Yes...Morning, sorry about my behaviour yesterday. I hope I did not make you uncomfortable?" She flushed and looked up at me shyly, I shook my head and snuggled closer to her."No you did not, but I did have to put a stop to it simply because we were both intoxicated and it didn't feel right to continue. But that does not mean I didn't enjoy it." I moved closer and nuzzled her neck to which she giggled softly and then gasped."I-"I pulled my head back to see her biting her lip and panting softly before I looked down to see that my thigh was pressed up between her legs."Oh! I-Im sorry I-""No! I mean...its okay. I um...please I need it" She whimpered and I gazed back at her face as she gripped my hips, I knew exactly what she wanted from me. I was about to protest when I realised how wet she was from her bare cunt dampening my trousers."Are you sure?"I breathed out as I slipped my hands under her nightdress and gripped her arse to get more leverage"P-Please, I need it." She nodded frantically, and at that I slowly and gently guided her to grind on my thigh. She took a sharp intake of breath and moaned into my ear as she shyly pushed her face into my neck."Y-You're hard...let me help." I was about to decline until she cupped her hand on my bulge."If you are sure, then please God yes." I whined out, she wasted no time in slipping her hand in and cupping me properly. I bucked my hips instinctively and gripped her arse tighter as I ground her down faster on my thigh."You're so warm and...thick." She groaned out as she gingerly began to stroke me at a steady rhythm, occasionally rubbing the tip with her thumb.The room was filled with our pants and moans and the slick sounds of her stroking my cock which leaked pre-cum profously. I was so close and I could feel that she was too as her legs shook and she got more and more wet to the point that the increasingly damp spot on my trousers began to bunch awkwardly due to the friction."That's it, you're doing so well. Let go." I gritted out as I nuzzled her cheek to encourage her to peek her head out so that I could kiss her. Her grinding began to become sloppy and her hips stuttered as she came with a cry, I too came in her hand moments later with a whimper.We both stared at each other for a bit, catching our breathes. Regina took her hand out of my trousers and grimaced at the mess in her hand...it was a lot. I blushed and looked away before looking back at her and leaning in so that our lips brushed against one another."Next time...I would like to taste you. You look so pretty when you cum." I pulled back to see her reaction, her pupils had blown wide and she made a soft gasping noise before shyly nodding. She got up to wash off my spend from her hand before heading to the bath.I laid back and groaned...she is going to be the death of me.
Regina's POV
The tension in the room was suffocating, as the memories from this morning flooded my brain.I still cannot believe that I gave into my urges so pathetically. I begged the poor man! I scrunched my brows and scowled down at the eggs and bacon before me. I dared a glance at Amadeus and my eyes widened as I realised that he had been looking me this whole time. As our eyes met he did not look away. No, he very much stared at me with a deep hunger in his eyes as if he wanted to eat me."Next time...I would like to taste you." I clenched my thighs together as a dull throb of pleasure hit me at what he said earlier and how his cock felt in my hand. I held in a whimper that tried to escape and held my gaze with his before he looked away to continue eating.We still haven't spoken about this morning, which is strange as Amadeus is usually quite forward with wanting to have a discussion but I have a feeling he is waiting for me to make the next move.After breakfast I made my way towards my mother's side of the castle to chat about these new feelings bubbling towards the surface. As much as I have a horrid relationship with my mother she was indeed a good listener when the moment calls for it. I left Amadeus to entertain himself for a moment but not before he gave me a sweet kiss upon my forehead which left me feeling giddy, his mouth was so soft and he smelt divine.I gave the door to her chambers a hard knock, before it was open by one of the maids who bowed to me in greeting before scurrying off."Morning mother." I greeted her as I made my way to sit beside her in her three seater."Morning my dear and to what do I owe the pleasure of seeing you this early in the day? Usually you would avoid me at any possible time...Did you have fun this morning?" She raised her eyebrow at me in question and smirked as she plopped a grape in her mouth."W-What are you talking about?" I flushed and began to pick at my dress."The maids...heard you and Amadeus's fun little morning. I'm glad you two are getting on so well." I groaned and scrubbed at my face, of course the maids heard. I was so preoccupied with getting off that I forgot that probably the maids were to come to announce breakfast was to be ready soon."Dear Lord, please strike me down..." My mother cackled at my distress."No need to feel embarrassed, you are both adults and husband and wife at that...at least I know he cares about your pleasure.""Mother! T-That is not what I was here to talk about anyway...I do not like these new feelings I get when I'm with him. It feels weird." Her eyes softened at that before she wrapped her arm around me and kissed my forehead."Most likely you are falling for him, you probably feel this way as I am guessing you have never been in love before." I huffed in annoyance as I know that my mother is probably right. I kissed her cheek and thanked her for lending me her ear and said my goodbyes but not before she reminded me that we are to have our weekly family dinner tomorrow.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Amadeus's POV
I blushed and pushed my face into the book that I was reading outside in the gardens remembering about yesterday morning.Not at what I had done with Regina but to the glances and the sly smiles I was getting from the maids and other servants around the castle...in my desperation I totally forgot about the issue of the servants hearing. I am not ashamed but it is slightly unnerving knowing people knew about something so intimate that you did with another person. To make matters worse Regina seems to be very awkward with me and refuses to meet my eyes for more than a few seconds.I sighed as based on her reaction to the aftermath and observations that this is a first for her, so I will have to be patient with her as I would very much like to do it again with her. I know very much I am extremely attracted to her and I know it goes both ways but I am still quite unsure of my feelings towards her. I also am unsure on how she feels about me, she seems to have a positive reaction to my touch though.I peeked above my book to silently watch Regina explain to each vendor where she would like them to set up, the festival of love is fast approaching. I sighed as I slumped on the bench, Regina wouldn't allow me to lift a finger as I realised very quickly that she is a perfectionist and any time I'd suggest something her face would slightly scrunch and eye twitch before trying to suggest something else entirely so I just gave up. It didn't annoy me in fact it amused me.What did annoy me was the fact that she was very obviously avoiding me, as even just now she quickly averted her eyes and practically dragged the poor gardener and vendor across the grounds. I will have to talk to her about her avoidance tonight after her family dinner which I was a little nervous for.I confess I hadn't spent that much time with her brothers but I did sometimes have chats with her mother, I surprisingly enjoyed her company even after the tense and awkward first meeting. I don't know what it was but her brothers seemed to give off a vibe that I did not like, but I also did not like the way the second born, Xavier seemed to talk down to her at any opportunity.I shut the book and stood up as I saw Regina make her way towards me, I gave her a small smile to which she flushed and seemed to try to respond to but in the process made a funny face. I forced myself to hide a giggle as not to anger her."Everything go okay?" She nodded and continued walking on as I followed behind her, as she walked I discretely flicked my eyes over her form. Despite her small size she always carried herself tall and walked with a elegance that it was hard to not look at her. I caught up with her as our shoulders brushed, she bristled slightly but carried on walking. I could see from the corner of my eye that she looking at me.So I turned my head slightly and looked at her, we both came to a stop. My eyes drifted over her face and landed on her mouth, her full lips slightly parted and I had to reign myself in as I very much wanted to ravage her mouth. I looked up at her face again to see that her face was flushed and she promptly decided to take her leave, almost running from me.I sighed and decided that instead of heading inside to finish reading my book that I would continue to read outside as I was not in the mood to try and talk with Regina right now.
Regina's POV
I know I was being ridiculous but I just could not bring myself to look at him for more than a few seconds before I remember about yesterday morning and I get butterflies in my tummy as well as a warmth between my legs. It replays over and over again in my head, I would usually in general stay away from this sort of thing as I was never interested before but now with Amadeus it feels right?I shook my head in disdain at my vulgar thoughts and continued my way into my chambers as I wanted to bathe before going to have dinner with my family. I scoffed as I knew tonight would be annoying with my shitty brothers and overbearing mother.It was dinner time, I decided to wear a deep purple off the shoulder gown. This gown was usually reserved for more formal settings but for some reason I wanted to look really good tonight. As I walked hand in hand with Amadeus I glanced a look at what he was wearing and restrained a small smile as he was wearing a deep red long sleeve tunic, black trousers and had adorned some of his fingers with rings."Don't be do nervous...they like you, so do not fret" I whispered as I saw how much he clenched his jaw, he looked down at me with his warm honey eyes and smiled shyly as his grip on my waist faltered slightly."Sorry..." He mumbled before looking away. Once we came up to the banquet Hall, the guards opened the doors to reveal that my mother and siblings were already sat down and waiting. I nodded at them in acknowledgement and sat down next to my mother whilst Amadeus sat opposite me next to Xavier.Surprisingly my brothers, especially Xavier were civil and the chatter at the table was lighthearted. Mostly talking about the festival, I was in a good mood since the cooks made me favourite pudding. Roasted peaches with cream, but what I did not like was the way that my brothers kept giving me weird glances every now and again."Alright...that is it! What is with the looks?" I whisper yelled and the room fell silent and honestly I wish I kept my mouth shut."I was just thinking that our prude sister finally got some action..." My eye twitched and my blood boiled, I knew he did not care about the topic at hand but just wanted to humiliate me and get a rise out of me.So instead of retaliating, I finished my last spoonful of pudding, downed my glass of sweet wine and excused myself. I walked with out with such intent that I might of been running but I did not care at that point in time. I needed out.
Amadeus's POV
I know Regina told me what her brothers were like, especially Xavier but what he said was demeaning and degrading which I could not stand one bit and from the looks of her mother and Erik I'm not the only one.Before her mother could speak, I stood up abruptly before turning to look at him."You think this is funny? What Regina and I do in our chambers is none of your business. Not only what you was crude and disgusting but humiliating for her. Now I will excuse myself and see if she is okay." I did not wait for a reply and stormed out of there but not before seeing Xavier's shocked and angry face.I looked around scanning the area to see if I could find her, but I didn't need to look far as she was in her study with her face buried in the pillow of the sofa. I softly closed the door and she looked up at me, I didn't say anything as I knelt in front of her so that I was eye level with her."What your bother said was not okay and I pretty much shouted at him. There is no need to feel shame about what we did...I've been wanting to talk to you about it but you seem to have an aversion of me." She snorted before covering her mouth and nose with her hand and flushing, she sighed and sat up, hugging the pillow tight across her body."I know that, I am just not used to this so it's quite overwhelming and I'm quite a private person. So someone knowing what we did is horrifying to me." I nodded in understanding, if I grew up in conditions like Regina I would probably be the same."I know...but next time please communicate that with me?" She nodded as I cupped her cheek and she nuzzled me."I-I liked what we did, I don't mind you touching me...I um..." I squeezed her hand in encouragement."Yes?" She swallowed and cleared her throat before pulling away from my hand as she began to pick at the pillow."Can I have a kiss?" She whispered. I blinked"Of course." I smiled and cupped her cheek and gave her a peck and pulled back."N-No a proper one, like that morning.""What? The morning when you came by riding my thigh?" I teased as she flushed and groaned, I laughed and pulled her into a deep kiss. My laugh turned into a groan as I tasted the peaches and cream on her as well as the wine, I kept one hand on her cheek as my other slid to wrap around her waist to bring her chest flush to mine.She pulled back once we needed air, I looked down to see her dress had been slightly hiked up to reveal some of her thighs. I groaned as I remembered my promise to taste her, I looked up to see Regina staring back at me and then to her thighs. Her hands slowly crept to the edge of the dress and slid it up revealing the tops of her thighs and hips to me but still covering her cunt."Regina...you can say no to this but...can I taste you?" I asked breathlessly, I gripped her thighs and almost groaned at how soft and pillowly they were in my hands. My rings making slight indents on her skin, she nodded."No, no. With your words please.""Yes..." With verbal consent given I wasted no time in gripping under her thighs and lifting them slightly to expose herself to me and I moaned at the sight. She was wet, I leaned forward and kissed the inside of her thighs before placing a chaste peck on her clit. She whined and jerked her hips to try and get more of my touch, I looked up at her as I licked and sucked at her clit and folds interchangeable.Regina was a blubbering mess as she lightly gripped my hair and ground herself on my face, I don't know who was making more noise me or Regina. I continued my actions until I could feel the tremble in her thighs an I gave her clit a particularly hard suck before arched her body with a groan and came.She flopped back on the couch, trying to catch her breath as I took out a handkerchief from my pocket and wiped my mouth.I stood up and groaned at the sight of Regina, her legs still spread, her face still flushed and her dress hiked up half way up her body. I leaned forward and gripped her thighs again, she squeaked at me in surprise."I'm not done with you yet, please can I fuck your thighs...I need it. I wont put it in just...please?" I whined as I ground my clothed erection against her bare cunt, she bit her bottom lip and nodded her head frantically. I then took hold of her legs behind her knee and quickly pulled down my trousers and undergarments allowing my cock to bob free, I sighed in relief and flicked my hungry gaze to Regina who stared at my dick in awe.I thrust my dick between her chubby thighs and moaned low and loud at the feel, the feel of her cunt and the way my tip bumped her clit at every thrust sent me closer to the edge each time. Regina got louder and louder moaning out profanities as my thrust began to become sloppy, I looked down to see my pre cum leaking from the tip as it coated some her dress and her skin.Fuck Regina I'm close, cum with me please. Let go sweetheart." I growled out, that seemed to do it for her as her legs shook and her body seized and she came with a whimper. I soon followed her as my cum stained her clothes and her thighs and tummy."That was...amazing. You may need to carry me to bed. My legs feel like jelly" I laughed as I rolled beside her on the couch trying to catch my breathe, she groaned in annoyance as she looked at the state of her dress."This was my favourite dress too..." She pouted at me before throwing a pillow at my head in retaliation. I laughed again and got my handkerchief and tried to clean Regina up as much as possible before we made it back to our chambers for a bath and some rest.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Amadeus’s POV
I groaned and cupped Regina’s face in one hand kissing her hungrily whilst hurriedly trying to pull off her undergarments as they were in the way of me bringing her pleasure. I was currently pinning Regina against a bookshelf in her private library, since after the incident at the family dinner I haven’t been able to get enough of her. I am feral for her, not only in lust but I find myself being possessive of her as everyone keeps taking her time away from me and I don’t get many alone times with her. I have fallen hard in these last few months for her intelligence, kindness, and compassion she has for her people and their wellbeing and happiness as well as her growth in not shutting me out anymore when problems or insecurities crop up as well as learning to apologise when she has knowingly offended someone. “Fuck, Regina w-wait.” I pulled back reluctantly because the offending material of her undergarments were too difficult to take off with one hand under all her dress, so I leaned back and signalled her to prop up her dress for me which she did with just as much eagerness as me as I practically ripped them off leaving her in her stockings and shoes and her dress bunched up across her waist. I tutted in annoyance at the bodice of her dress as it was covering up what I wanted to get my mouth onto since I first saw her in that flimsy excuse of a night gown. I flicked my eyes up to her face as I traced my finger across her collar bones and then in the valley between her breasts, she looked at me panting in arousal, her breasts threatening to tumble out. She nodded and I wasted no time in unlacing her bodice and revealing her tits, I wrapped my arm around her waist and picked her up with ease and placed her bottom on the edge of her desk and wrapped my mouth around one hardened nipple. She moaned softly, and gently petted my hair as I used one hand to grip one thigh open and begin to gently rub her clit with my fingers. God she was so wet.I altered between each nipple whilst rubbing her clit, I then very slowly pushed one finger in, into which Regina whined and gripped onto my shirt and grinded against my hand. I entered another finger when I felt her relax against me and then a third and began to thrust, the sounds of Regina moaning, and the soft squelch of her cunt was getting me riled up. I pulled away from her nipples and placed a soft kiss where her heart is before I kissed her mouth again and groaned as I felt her cunt clench around my fingers, I could also feel how wet she was becoming with each thrust, she whimpered into the kiss and turned her head away from me to catch her breath. “I-I’m going to cum, but it feels weird.” She whined into my neck as she began to tremble and I realised what she meant; I used my thumb to rub again at her clit whilst I continued to finger her. “It’s okay, I know it feels weird darling but let go and cum.” I bit out as I began to kiss and suck on her neck knowing how sensitive she was there. She gripped onto my shirt sleeve and threw her hair back as her body tightened and I felt a gush of fluid on my wrist and hand. She fell back completely onto her desk and panted as her legs still trembled, I wiped my hand haphazardly on her ruined undergarments, helping her to get dressed as decent as possible before lifting her up so that we could cuddle on her sofa. She flushed greatly as she tried to keep eye contact with me.“I did not realise that you were so…um passionate.” She squeaked out and I laughed at her shyness.“Yes, I know I may look innocent, but I truly am not. Your pleasure is deeply important to me, and it arouses me more to give rather than take. Not only that, but you must also realise that I am hungry for you, and I can never get enough of you.” I kissed her collarbone again and cupped her arse to have her straddle my legs.“But then why have we never…” She trailed off but I understood what she was asking.“I’ve never made love to you because I can tell you aren’t quite ready, when you are ready, I trust you will tell me. I want it to be at your pace.” I cupped her cheek and stroked it with my thumb, she smiled and nuzzled my hand in return.“But I can feel how hard you are… I want you to feel good too, let me help please?” I groaned as she rolled her hips onto my erection.“Good God, O-Okay yes yes please.” I whined out in frustration as she began to roll her hips slowly, only giving me just enough friction until I gripped her hips to try and steer her at the pace I wanted so desperately. She allowed me to do so, and I groaned as her wetness as it began to seep into my thin trousers, I gripped her bare arse and gave it a light spank and she squeaked and looked down at me in slight offence before hiding her face in my throat again and smiling. She bit my shoulder gently and began to kiss my neck and I whimpered, and I sped up her movements feeling myself about to cum in a short amount of time, I would be embarrassed by this but I have been unconsciously edging myself for days with how busy both Regina and I have been. I haven’t cum in a few days and now I am overwhelmed by Regin’s boldness and the fact that this feels so fucking good.“S-Shit-“I didn’t get to finish my sentence as Regina gave a particularly hard suck on my neck and a came with a growl and whimpered as Regina still rolled her hips as I could start to feel the cold wetness of my underwear on my sensitive tip as I came a lot, I gripped her hips tightly for her to stop and she did thankfully. I grimaced at the feel as we rested for a while before we awkwardly made our way back to the room to ask the maids to draw a bath.Regina looked like she wanted to be anywhere but in the presence of the maids as they looked at us and giggled at our obvious hickeys and dishevelled clothing that was obviously put on in a rush. They quickly made the bath and left us be, I turned to let Regina bath first, but she gripped onto my hand. “I don’t mind us sharing a bath…I feel comfortable with you.” I nodded and smiled as I began to strip of my clothes and I stepped into the tub first groaning in pleasure before pouring in the sweet oranges and rose oils into the bath, I looked to see naked apart from her stockings and I realised that I haven’t seen her properly naked and vice versa. She tried to shy away from me when she realised, I was looking at her, her body was soft and plump. “You’re so beautiful.” I announced softly as my eyes roamed her body and then flicked back to her face as she smiled shyly before moving her hands away and joining me in the tub, I scooted back to press my back against the tub as Regina sat in front of me and leaned back into my chest. I kissed the back of her shoulder and neck as she rested her head on my chest and sighed, I pulled her closer and wrapped my arms around her waist.“Would you…like to go to the festival of love with me?” I heard Regina softly whisper as she looked up at me sweetly.“I would be honoured.” I leant down slightly and captured her lips in a soft kiss and she melted back into my arms as we relaxed in the bath until it went cold.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Amadeus’s POV
I watched in excitement as I peered through the library window to see them setting up the festival in the palace gardens, not only because of the festival was I excited but also because my parents were coming along, and I have not seen them in many months and have only been able to communicate through letters.I was most excited for having my dance with Regina later tonight, for the past few weeks she has been fleeting around and avoiding me much to my annoyance. Every time her dressmakers and maids see me, they blush and giggle, I so badly want to find out what is going on but when I pressed Regina for it, she just blushed and told me to be patient.So as not to drive myself crazy, I helped with the set up for the food in the kitchens, the kitchen staff seemed to love me as I loved to just come in and taste and eat whatever they would cook as I was not so picky, they also seemed to mother me and ensure I ate well and also thanked me for being so understanding with Regina and that I may not see it but Regina seems to smile a lot more as well as be more social with the staff. I was drooling at all the food that was being made, many stuffed game, cakes, and pastries galore but eventually the pushed me out of the kitchen because I kept “tasting” to ensure it was of good quality and also, I was to get dressed. I was dragged by my servants to a separate room from our own to my confusion, they must have seen the confusion on my face because all I got in return was that Regina was getting ready in there and she didn’t want me to see. I pouted as I didn’t understand her shyness as I have seen her naked as well as brought her pleasure on a regular basis, but I let it go since now I was being stripped and put in the tub and scrubbed vigorously clean, rubbed with sweet smelling oils and hair washed clean. I was very happy once they deemed me clean enough as my skin was becoming blotchy red due to the hot water and the vigorous scrubbing I received.My outfit was very delicately put on me and then wax was going to be put in my hair in an attempt to control my curls, but I stopped them as I preferred to have my curls out much to their dismay. Then a masquerade mask was placed on my face and boots put on my feet and quickly tied, they then left me and told me to be careful with the outfit as not to crease it or damage the mask in anyway, I rolled my eyes but nodded in understanding.I looked at myself in the mirror and grinned, I looked very good. My thoughts went to Regina and groaned in frustration, due to how busy Regina and I have been we have barely touched each other for over two weeks now and my self-control was wearing thin. I was tired of fisting my cock any free alone time I had imaging that instead of my fist that it was Regina’s mouth or cunt, I willed myself to stop thinking about that I was starting to grow hard, and these trousers were already tight on me, basically painted on my body.I instead decided to leave my room and alert the guards that I was ready to make my way to the festival.
Regina’s POV
I ignored my maids’ giggles and coos as I looked at myself nervously in the mirror, I was taking a gamble by wearing this dress. I explained to my seamstress a couple of weeks ago of what type of dress I wanted, I explained I wanted to look very pretty for Amadeus. Her grin made me uncomfortable as she looked me up and down and seemed to already have a dress in mind, she took my measurements and shooed me away and got to work straight away and what I am wearing is the end result.It was a silk dress with a low open back in which the fabric joined together on the top of my arse, a low-cut front that left a valley of bare skin between my breasts and stopped above my belly button. It was quite a long dress as it touched the ground but also had a slit on the side of my left leg that started just above my hip, I flushed deeply as my seamstress wanted me to show as much skin as possible. I do agree with my mother who saw this earlier that I indeed look very beautiful.My maids also put jewels in my afro and left it in its natural state, they painted my lips a dark deep red, my lacy masquerade mask and a very beautiful gold necklace. When I had enough of looking at my outfit in the mirror and doubting myself my ladies in waiting joined me and we left together along with my guards to the festival grounds, my ladies tried to cool my nerves as with each step I began to get second thoughts and wanted to run back to dress with something simple, but putting on my mask helped very little with all the stares and mummers I got as we got closer. To which point as I began to see my brothers and mother, I chanced a glance to my left to see my all 3 of my brothers staring at me in shock before looking away. I looked at my mother who winked at me and smiled, but who I really wanted to notice me was my husband, I began to look around and my eyes caught his, but my body froze as his hazel eyes pierced my dark brown ones. His gaze pinned me to my spot, and I began to feel hot all over but mainly at my core, I subtly tried to squeeze my thighs. He looked hungry, he dragged his eyes up and down my body slowly before taking and deep drink of his wine and leaning back in his chair and looking away with a deep flush on his tanned skin. To which the spell was broken, and I continued my walk to sit at my place next to him, I nodded my head in acknowledgement to him not trusting my voice and to which he did but still was practically undressing me with his eyes. I clapped towards the musicians for them to start the festival to which they did, I then drunk from my own glass of wine and gasped softly as I felt Amadeus’s large hand lightly grip my exposed thigh as he leaned into my ear.“You look divine, good enough to eat.” He groaned in my ear before gently nibbling on my ear to which I tried to hold in the moan I wanted to release, I squeezed my thighs unconsciously to which he trailed his hands higher gently cupping my bare cunt before teasingly rubbing my clit. As quick as he was to do so he also took it away just as quick, I whimpered at the loss.“After the first dance, meet me at the musicians tent.” He whispered before leaning back into his chair properly and gleamed as the food began to arrive, I was here practically panting and hot all over whilst this man acting as though everything was fine and that irritated me. I wanted him weak, begging to be able to touch me, I wanted him feral for me.I smiled to myself as I was to make it my mission by the end of the festival to have this man break for me.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Regina's POV
Each second that I was here at the festival was pure agony, Amadeus was pure evil. I carefully sipped my sweet wine side eying him as he sat in his chair with his thighs spread wide and inviting, but that was not what was bothering me, no. It was the fact that his large hand was carefully wrapped around my thick thigh and his thumb was rubbing teasing circles against my skin. But not only that but he would do it at intervals before removing his hand leaving me to feel cold and exposed. I was happy everyone was too busy chatting and dancing to see what was going on as well as thanking the high havens that the cloth draped over the table was long enough. I made eye contact with one of my ladies in waiting who beckoned me to come over to dance and I nodded putting down my drink as I was still to go ahead with my plan to make my husband break, he looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "I'm going to dance with the girls, I'll be back." I got up and walked towards them putting a bit more sway in my hips, I didn't look back because I knew if I did I would stutter. I knew he liked it as I could feel his eyes burn through my arse, I giggled as my other ladies joined me and we danced together in a circle. I felt light due to the alcohol as well as surprisingly enjoying the festival, I looked over my shoulder towards Amadeus and blushed at the soft look he gave me as if he was proud of me and I whipped my head back around and I was given a knowing look by my ladies. After awhile we got tired and plopped ourselves down on the chairs, I was then given some more sweet wine which I drank eagerly to quench my parched throat, when I looked back to try and see Amadeus he was gone, I pouted and turned back around. I felt a tap on my shoulder which startled me, I realised it was my dear husband and blushed. "Are you too tired to have a dance with me?" My ladies cooed and pushed me to get up which I did and he took my hand and lead me a few steps away, he put one hand on my waist and the other holding my other hand pulling me close. "You look like you are having fun...and to think you never went to these." He whispered in my ear softly and kissed my cheek, I flushed as whined as he gently kissed my ear. I was getting aroused and annoyed as I was the one wanting to break him but he was effortlessly doing the same. "...Well, you helped me realise that I could have fun and relax." I pressed into him more and internally filled with joy to realise that he hard, he stumbled slightly at my actions and whimpered. The hand of my waist tightened slightly. "What are you doing?" He asked with amusement in his voice as he traced circles on my waist, I looked around to see if anyone was watching us but people seemed to drunk or in their own little conversations that we were not given much attention. Even my mum and brothers were caught in their own conversations. "...Nothing." I giggled, and kissed his neck and pressed against him even more, he gripped my hips to still me and groaned softly before he pulled away quickly. I looked at his face to see his pupils dilated and his skin flushed a pinkish red. He began to turn away and went to walk away but not before I caught him saying something. "Meet me in the musicians tent in 10 minutes."
Amadeus's POV
I quickly walked away from Regina before I ravished her in front of everybody, I tried to adjust myself as I made my way into the tent, luckily no one was here or to be expected for awhile as the band were still playing and would be for awhile longer. I sat down on the table as I waited and right on time I saw Regina open the tent and slide in, she fidgeted a little but didn't come any closer. I motioned her to come forward and she did cautiously, I spread my legs as she came forward motioning silently to her to stand between them. She looked at me curiously as I again still didn't say anything, I brushed my fingers along her exposed thighs and squeezed them gently. I could not get enough of how soft and thick her thighs were, she shivered as I move my hands up towards her hips. "What were you trying to do? Hmm?" I hummed as I rubbed circles on her hips and looked up her face to her her flushed and worrying her bottom lip between her teeth, she looked away from me and mumbled. "Pardon?" "I...wanted to break you, I wanted to make you lose your composure. But I did not realise how to, to be honest." She professed quietly and I groaned and scoffed. "I see...you truly do not know how much I pine for you? How much I adore you, how much I enjoy your company. I keep my composure with you because if I do not then I would ravish you in front of everyone and we do not want that." I stood up and cupped her cheek whilst kissing her forehead, she gripped onto the sleeve of my top and sighed happily. I pulled back and gave a quick peck on her lips and another one before I began to kiss her properly and with urgency, she moaned softly as I sucked on her bottom lip. I used my body to gently push her back towards the table, once her butt hit the table and I manoeuvred her to lay on her back. "Now I must reward you for being so brave in your advances...I know it took a lot of courage." I cooed and kissed down her neck to the valley of her breasts and onto her tummy, I so desperately wanted to feel her skin so I shifted her dress which was difficult as it was quite fitted. I groaned at the sight of her glistening cunt, I used my thumbs to spread her lips and licked a broad stripe from bottom of her cunt to her swollen clit, I gripped her plump arse to bring her more to my mouth and began to devour her. Regina whined loudly and gripped my curls tightly, I didn't bother to try to quieten her down as I truly had no care if anyone heard us I so desperately wanted to make her cum in my mouth. She began to grin her hips so desperately, I groaned and felt my cock twitch and her actions. I sucked and slurped ate her cunt relishing in her wetness. "F-Fuck, please don't stop." She squealed, I hummed as I had no plans ins topping at all. I sucked and licked in earnest cupping her thick thighs and pushed them close to her chest to get a better angle, I was so turned on I could feel the wetness of the pre-cum leaking from my cock. I heard some footsteps coming closer towards the tent and could not care to warn Regina or to stop for decency. "-Oh, dear God! I-um..." I heard someone squeaked out and I chanced a glance not stopping my actions and saw that it was one of her ladies in waiting. She stilled for a second and looked between my face and Regina's cunt and dashed out, I huffed and sucked harshly on Regina's clit, looking up I realised Regina did not realise we were disturbed and was glad as I knew she would been too shy to continue. "Amadeus..." She whined as she lifted her self up onto her elbows and bit her lip looking at me and I knew what she was trying to tell me, she gripped my hair even more and pushed my face into her cunt even more allowing my nose to bump her clit, I allowed her to manoeuvre my head anyhow in order to make herself cum. I was so aroused that I had no issue with her using me how she pleased. Her hips stuttered and she groaned low and harsh as she squirted all over my face, I gasped in a lungful of air as she let me go, I stood up on shaky legs and panted as I looked at her her so flushed and sweaty. "W-What about you." She stammered out, I blushed deeply and looked away. She looked down my body slowly and gasped softly as she saw the wet patch and realised I had cum untouched from eating her out. "Don't worry about it...lets get ourselves cleaned up." I helped her stand on her own shaky legs and she flushed deeply as she properly looked at my face and she quickly got the end of her dress and used it to wipe my face as best as she could. "I don't think we could show ourselves looking like this...we need to go back to our room." She said softly and for once I agreed as I could feel the coldness of my stale cum in my trousers, we peeked outside the tent and quickly made our getaway back to the castle as we saw everyone was too drunk to notice.
