Forbidden Queen
Chapter Twenty-Six - Alone at Last

Katy

She takes us through the doors into a magnificent marble entrance hall. Paintings of wolves dressed in silk and ermine decorate the walls, depicting generations of kings and queens who have lived here.

Joseph notices that I am fascinated by the paintings. “Your ancestors your majesty.”

I look closer trying to see if there is any resemblance between these monarchs, and me. I notice some share my eye colour, and blonde hair but I can’t see myself in their proud features.”

Alex squeezes my hand.

“Here on the ground floor are the formal state rooms, and the royal offices. The royal apartments and guest rooms are situated on the first floor. She directs us towards a wide stone staircase, its balustrades adorned with more carvings of wolves.

When we reach the top of the stairs, we replace ourselves facing a long corridor. It lacks the grandeur of the accommodation on the ground floor, but it feel more like a home. There are pictures on the walls, but only a few of these are portraits. Most of the paintings are landscapes, or they depict family scenes. The subjects are dressed in more casual attire, and the artist has captured them when they are smiling and playing.

Martha stops at the first door on the left. “This is the entrance to your bedroom and drawing room.”

She opens the door, and I am delighted to be presented with a light airy room. It is decorated with comfy sofas and chairs. Bookcases take up one wall, and there is a large television in the corner. My feet sink into the soft carpet. The room is large, but still manages to feel intimate. A large fireplace with a roaring fire warms the room, and I notice that there are no paintings but instead the walls are adorned with photographs of a young family. I step forward to get a closer look at the people in the photographs.

“This was your mother’s room, your majesty. It hasn’t been changed since she died.”

“Are these my family? My parents, my brothers and sisters?”

“Yes, your mother and father”, she says pointing to the first photo of a young couple laughing as they look into each other’s eyes. They look so happy and in love.

“This is your elder sisters Elizabeth and Maria, and over here your brothers George and Robert.”

I look closely at the large family. My family who I never got to know. I feel a wave of sadness wash over me. Up until now they hadn’t felt real but seeing them here so alive, and full of joy makes my heart break for what I have lost. What could have been if Lucius hadn’t killed them.

Sensing my distress, Alex wraps his arms around me. “We will make our own family and take new pictures to hang on these walls” he tells me.

Thank you, Martha” he says dismissing her.

She smiles “I will leave you to relax. Your bedroom is through the door on the left. If you need anything, please ring the bell” she points to a bell at the side of the fireplace.

“Thank you. We will do.” I tell her.

“Finally, we are alone.” Alex groans. “I am desperate to touch you and taste you. He walks over to the door and locks it. Now no one will be able to interrupt us.”

My mate presses his lips to mine. Gently at first, and then as our passion rises the kiss becomes more intense, his tongue demanding entrance to my mouth. I can feel his hard length as he presses his body against mine. It feels so long since we have been alone together There was no real privacy while we were travelling, our coupling had been too quick and silent.

He moves his mouth slowly down to his mark on my neck and begins to suck. Sparks race through my body as pleasure washes over me.

He pulls my shirt over my head and unfastens my bra. He takes my breast into his mouth and begins to lick and gently bite my nipple. At the same time his hand unbuttons my jeans. He removes his mouth from my breast to take off his t-shirt and kicks off his jeans. I take the opportunity to pull off the rest of my clothing. Now that we are both naked, he gently moves us towards one of the sofas and pushes me down.

He trails kisses down my body, until he reaches my clit and begins to lick and suck. At the same time, he pushes two of his fingers inside of me. I feel my climax beginning to build. He senses it to and starts to move his fingers in and out of me, increasing his speed until a wave of pleasure washes over me.

He doesn’t stop, he removes his mouth from my clit, and replaces it with his finger and begins to press gently as his fingers slowly circle round my sensitive spot. The feel of his fingers is too gentle, I want more. I try to grab hold if his hard cock, but he stops me.

“We are going to take our time. I am not going to rush our first time alone together since we left the Lunar Eclipse pack. I want to touch and taste you first.”

I groan with frustration. “I want to taste you.”

“Later” he tells me as his fingers pick up pace.

I push myself into his fingers trying to pull them deeper inside me. He removes them and I growl in frustration.

He just laughs, and the next moment his tongue is sucking and licking my clit again. I feel my orgasm begin to build. I am so close, and then he removes his mouth.

I start to protest until I feel his hard cock positioned at my entrance. As he pushes inside of me, I hear him groan. With one deep thrust he is buried deep inside me. He starts to move slowly at first, and then begins to pick up pace. His thrusts get faster as he pushes deeper and deeper inside me. We are both so close, and I raise my hips to meet him. I feel my climax building. Suddenly my walls start to tremble and squeeze around him. He groans and a moment later he comes inside me. I come completely undone lost in the pleasure of my own climax.

We lie for a minute, our arms wrapped around each other. Our bodies pressed close.

“I have been waiting, wanting to do that for so long” he tells me.

“Me too, and I don’t want it to stop there” I tell him. I move mouth down his body, trailing kisses as I go. I can see his cock is already beginning to harden. “My turn to taste you.”

……..

I spend the rest of the night in Alex’s arms. We sleep, make love, hold each other, and make love again. I don’t get much rest, but it is so worth it.

In the morning the hard work begins.

At 6:00 a.m. I untangle myself from Alex’s arms and make my way into the bathroom to get ready. I brush my teeth and then get into the shower. I hear the bathroom door open and see Alex enter. He joins me in the shower. He pulls me towards him and kisses me on the shoulder.

“You left me,” he complains.

“I need to get ready. Today is going to be a long day, my first day ruling as queen.”

“I can help you get ready” he tells me licking my claiming mark.

I try to ignore the waves of pleasure that roll over me at his touch. It would be so easy just to let him continue, but I know duty has to come first.

“Your “helping” would mean that I wouldn’t leave this room for the next two hours. Tonight” I promise him.

He doesn’t try to argue with me, he moves back and exits the shower. My body protests at the loss of his touch but I don’t give in.

“Now that we are here, I need to arrange for Emma to join us” I say to him.

“I will speak to Joseph and ask him to arrange transport for her. It should be much easier than our journey, she won’t face the same risks. I will also let Euan know so that he can prepare her for travel.”

“Thank you. Would you ask him to check if Mrs Wilson would be prepared to come with her? Emma loves her and it would be so much easier if she had someone who cares about her to accompany her on the journey. Perhaps she could stay for a while. I might not have as much time as I would like to spend with Emma because of my royal duties and I don’t want her to be left with strangers.”

“Of course, I am sure she will agree.”
