Whispers and Promises (restarted)

[heartofcourage]

Kyra did her best to remain attentive to what she was being taught, but Rath's conversation with the little boy captured what little attention she had. He was good with children and it was apparent that he cared about his people very much. Hopefully the story of his saving the child from certain death would spread and a little good will would start to build for the prince.

Kyra grinned at the story that was being told about Rath's family and when he gave her that knowing smile, she winked at him before Ithros turned back around to begin her lessons yet again. She was learning the Rhagali language and how to write in the native tongue of many people in her new country. It was a challenge, but her mind was sharp and she was up to the task.

"I wish I could stay longer, but my father no doubt wishes to bore me with talk of his expectations." Rath excused himself and left the room. He wandered out into the garden and strolled by the fountain. True, his father would probably come looking for him soon enough. But he had other business to take care of first. "Good day, Darius."

Darius looked up from the flowers he was smelling and smiled, "And a good day to you as well, Prince Rath! I saw Salemar leaving with that young man in tow. I daresay there will be much talk of this in the streets in the coming weeks."

"One would hope so. And speaking of that..." The prince looked around quickly to see that none were watching. "I have a favor to ask."

Darius's face remained pleasant, but a glint in his eyes showed he knew exactly what the prince was asking of him. "Of course, your grace. I am ever a loyal servant of the line of Katum. What do you wish to know?"

Their voices now dropped to conspiratorial whispers. "Do you recall the coup in Dath a year ago? I have recently begun to suspect that members of King Rue's house still live. I want you to put out eyes and ears on the streets as far as you can reach. Find them if they live. Report any findings directly to me. Do not speak of this to my father for any reason."

Darius lifted a brow. "As you will, your grace. This is a difficult task however. Even for me. It will take time to find such people, if indeed they still live. Years perhaps."

Rath nodded in understanding. "See that it is done." Instantly their demeanor changed to the pleasant familiarity of earlier. "Well, I won't keep you. Do you know where my father is at this time? I should speak with him again soon."

"Certainly. Your father is in the shrine asking the priests for some guidance." At that the two men bowed their heads and parted ways.

Kyra worked into the afternoon on her writing. Under the scrutiny of Ithros, she made sure that she was doing her best work. Every loop and letter was in perfect position and she waited for him to give his nod of approval before she continued.

"You language might sounds harsh, Master, but I have to admit that it looks pretty on paper." She said as she glanced up at Ithros with a smile on her lips.

She had smiled a lot that day, the happiness she felt in her chest seeping through. She was sure that no one in the court had ever seen her that happy in the entire time that she had been there. There was something about Rath that put that smile on her lips and it was nearly impossible to get rid of.

 

[DrStein]

When the evening rolled in, Rath was seated with his father once more. The two of them seemed to have reached an uneasy truce. At least, there was no obvious tension between them anymore. The meal passed quickly before Rath left for his quarters, anticipating that Kyra would join him soon. The full moon shown brightly through the open windows, but Rath still lit several candles once the servants had drawn a hot bath and departed. He removed his shirt and covered the birdcage under a silk drape and waited patiently for his lover to arrive.

 

[heartofcourage]

Kyra had been detained for a moment by Amina before she left the banquet hall to join Rath in their room. When she entered the quarter, she paused at the sight of brightly lit candles. He had taken the time to prepare their room and she could hear the sounds of the bath in the other room.

"Rath?" She called out as she moved to her dressing table, pulling the golden combs from her hair before she started to undress.

 

[DrStein]

"I'm here," he said as he came up behind her. He helped her slide her dress from her body and turned her face to kiss her. "I've been waiting for you." He wrapped his arms around her naked body and held her close as he whispered in her ear. "I've ordered our spymaster to seek out any surviving members of your house. Don't worry, I told him nothing of your secret. It will take time, but one day your family will be avenged."

He kissed her again and led her to the bath. "For tonight though... Tonight is the two of us." They slid into the waters together and he pulled her into his lap with another kiss.

 

[heartofcourage]

Kyra jumped and gasped as he was suddenly there behind her, his hands coming to help slide her dress from her body. She turned and looked at him with a smile before he was kissing her yet again. She enjoyed his kisses, melting under them as he wrapped his arms around her body and pulled her close to his own naked skin.

"I was detained by Amina." She said softly as he announced that he'd been waiting on her, listening as he announced that he would find anyone that still survived of her family.

"Thank you, Rath..." She said as he kissed her senseless again, a soft moan leaving her lips as she felt herself guided towards the bath.

When they sank into the bath, she found herself in his lap, pulled against his naked body as they shared another kiss. She smiled to herself as she thought about the man that was loving her right that moment. He was kind and sweet, funny, and she could hardly believe that he was all hers.

 

[DrStein]

Rath took his time slowly washing Kyra's body as he whispered in her ear telling her how beautiful she was, how grateful he felt for the light she had brought into his life. His touch was gentle and soothing. In the warm light of the candles mixed with the glow of the full moon they seemed to have a tiny world to themselves watched only by the heavens. "I don't know by what hand of chance or fate we found each other, but now that we have I'll never let you go."

 

[heartofcourage]

Kyra grinned as he gently washed her body, his soothing words echoing around her as they shared that beautiful moment together. She leaned into his body, kissing at his throat and chin as he promised that he would never let her go. She trusted him and most importantly, she was in love with him.

"I want you, Rath..." She whispered against his ear, her voice tinged with a moan as his hands continued to roam over her body.

 

[DrStein]

Having finished washing her body, Rath captured her lips in a hungry, passionate kiss. One hand went to her breast and thumbed the nipple while his other caressed her thighs to coax them open. "I love you," he whispered to her. "And I always will."

 

[heartofcourage]

A long, hot whimper left Kyra's lips as Rath kissed her passionately. His strong hand captured her breast, his thumb caressing over the sensitive nipple that was begging for his attentions. Her thighs parted with little coaxing, his words echoing in her head as he told her that he loved her.

"I love you too." She answered back as they shared another passionate kiss that threatened to drown her.

 

[DrStein]

Rath returned her kiss as his hand began to slowly rub her pussy. It was a peculiar mirror of their first night together. Gone was the uncertainty and sadness, the feeling of being two strangers, the different desires at odds with one another. The positions were the same, but now there was a love that burned like the sun. "One day we won't have to hide from others. We'll be together with no one to stand in our way."

 

[heartofcourage]

Kyra cooed like her birds as he rubbed her pussy slowly with his hand. She tipped her head back against his shoulder, sighing as they shared that incredible moment that was so similar to their first night together. This time, though, she knew that he was an honest man that loved her. His dreams for the future were beautiful, but she knew that they had to play it safe until they were sure that everything was resolved.

 

[DrStein]

Rath kissed her neck and groaned in response to her cooing. His hand at her breast continued to slowly massage her flesh and he relished the feeling of her soft skin. Between her legs he dipped a finger into her. "You're my little songbird," he said with a playful, teasing tone. "Let's see if I can make you sing for me." His touch became more insistent and his finger was joined by a second pumping into her slowly but firmly.

 

[heartofcourage]

"Oh, Rath." She moaned as his thick fingers slipped into her body.

His playful tone made her smile as he insisted that she was going to sing for him like a songbird. Soon, another finger slipped into her body and he began to play her like a finely tuned instrument.

"My prince...yes..." She whimpered, squirming on his lap as his fingers demanded so much from her.

She whimpered and sighed, cooed and cried out in pleasure. Every single touch that he did was rewarded with a sound of utter pleasure.

 

[DrStein]

"I love you." It was a sultry whisper in her ear. His hands continued their work to extract more pleasure from her. His embrace was firm and strong, giving her only enough room to squirm and writhe in his lap. His stiff cock rubbed against her lower back obviously aching for attention but he waited simply because he wanted her to feel wonderful. He wanted to see her happy. Every sound every movement she made only stoked the fires of his passion and desire for her.

 

[heartofcourage]

"Rath!" She cried out as she came, bucking her hips against his fingers as her body thrashed and pulsed in the water. "Ooohhh...."

Her eyes closed tightly as the beautiful moment came over her, sending her into the stars that Rath seemed to love so much.

 

[DrStein]

Rath held her in his arms as she shook and slowly came down from her orgasm. "My songbird..." he whispered to her. His hands went from insistent and firm to gentle and reassuring. He slowly withdrew his fingers from inside her and kissed her again. "I never before imagined I could feel so strongly for a woman as I do for you. I... I'm sorry if I gave you reason to fear me when we first met."

 

[heartofcourage]

"I didn't fear you." Kyra said, her voice husky with desire as she slowly brought her down from her high. "I wasn't sure of what situation would face me here."

"You could have been cruel, but you weren't. You could have demanded so much from me and you didn't." She looked up into his eyes as she said that. "Instead, I find myself in the arms of a man I love very much, sharing a beautiful moment. What more could I ask for, my handsome prince?"

 

[DrStein]

Rath kissed her again after she spoke. It was reassuring. Whenever doubts plagued his mind, Kyra gave him strength, love and wisdom to continue. They left the bath, toweled off and climbed into bed together and Rath once more wrapped her in his arms. His hands roamed her body and his lips found her pulse on her neck. "Think of the day when we don't have to hide the fact that we love each other. I promise you it will come."

 

[heartofcourage]

Kyra loved the feel of her lover wrapped around her. His strong hands smoothed over her flesh, demanding so much from her yet loving her at the same time. No other man in her life was like him, she thought to herself as his lips settled against her racing pulse.

"Why wait?" She asked softly with a moan. "You could always show me how much you love me right now."

Kyra enjoyed teasing her serious prince. She enjoyed seeing him smile most of all. He was so incredibly handsome when he grinned and her heart melted.

 

[DrStein]

Rath smiled at that and turned Kyra over on her back. He moved between her legs and rubbed his shaft up and down her pussy as his hands kept a firm grasp on her hips. He was upright and looking down at her with love and passion shining in his eyes. He put her legs up over her head and leaned forward, sliding into her. He penetrated her more deeply than he ever had before and once he bottomed out inside her their lips met.

 

[heartofcourage]

Kyra whimpered as Rath teased her. His hard cock slipping against her wet folds made her shiver as he slowly pulled her legs up towards her head. When he sank into her body, she let out a cry as he went deeper then ever before. Their lips met in a passionate kiss and her legs rested against his shoulders. This new position reminded her of just how strong her lover was as his fingers curled around her hips, holding her still for his pleasure.

 

[DrStein]

Rath took a moment to let Kyra adjust to having him so deep inside her. His hands slid up her body, smoothing along her curves until he came to prop himself on his elbows while his hands slowly massaged her breasts. He whispered in her ear telling her how beautiful she was and how deeply he was in love with her. The gauzy curtains of the bed shrouded them in a shadowy silver-lit world where the dangers outside, the eyes of the court, and the grinding gears of political schemes didn't matter and couldn't touch them.

 

[heartofcourage]

The moment that the both of them shared was beautiful. The curtains around them gave a sense of privacy in a world that had been cruel. She kissed him as his hands settled against her breasts. When he massaged her breasts, she groaned for him, her wet walls clenching around his hard cock. He was making love to her and making her feel loved.

"My sweet prince..." She whispered, nuzzling against his throat as she cooed and sighed. "I love you, Rath."
