Tennyson

God this woman drives me crazy. Her wicked tongue on my skin is making me lose my mind. My pants are half undone, but that seems to have little meaning. Lena’s hand caresses me through my underwear, and the room is now filled with sounds of my held back moans. As she continues kissing me, she slowly pulls my underwear down. The touch of her hand makes me shudder. I look down to see her eyes looking back up at me. I nod, and she looks back down and goes to work. As she kisses me, I go stiff.

“My King,” I moan.

Lena stops and looks up at me once again. 

“How many times do I have to tell you?” She says in a soft voice. “You don’t have to be formal with me.” 

I once again feel her lips on my skin.

“Lena.” I moan again, using her nickname.

I can feel her smile as she kisses me. God she is driving me crazy. I look down just as she puts me in her mouth. I thought I would be too big, but she is gladly proving me wrong. I throw my head back as my moans continue to get louder. As I rest my hands on the side of her head, she speeds up. This change of pace pushes me closer and closer to my peak. Just as I’m about to finish, she stops and looks up at me. I swiftly push her down on the bed as we devour each other's lips. There is nothing between us now that can stop us from fulfilling our desire for each other. I break our fierce kiss and look down at her.

“Are you sure?” I ask.

Lena caresses my cheek and nods.

“I’m positive.” She responds.

With that, I continue kissing her while slowly lowering myself into her. She gasps once I’m all the way inside. We look at each other and smile. As I start to move, I can feel her pull me closer.

“Ty!” She moans. “Faster.”

I can tell she’s flustered. As I move faster, our moans become one and the room is filled with the sounds of our lust. Lena then pulls me closer as we both reach our peak. Soon, the only sound left in the room is our breathing as we slowly drift off to sleep, still wrapped in each other's arms.

“Damn it!” Mother yells as she throws another vase at the wall.

She is furious. 

“You worthless piece of shit!” She continues as she turns her anger towards my face. “You were supposed to make that damned halfbreed fall in love with you, and you managed to screw that up too! I should have never given birth to you! You are my biggest mistake! If it weren’t for you, I would have been a Queen, or better yet, the King!”

I zone out as she continues to scream at me. In moments like this, it’s better to just stay silent. Mother always blamed me for everything. She was the former King's sister, but there could only be one King, so they had to fight for the throne. My mother lost and was supposed to be put to death, but the former King took pity on her and hid her away. She ended up marrying my father, a Duke, however, he was a mean vile man. He regularly beat and starved her. She only had me after 2 years of miscarriages, but by that point, he had an heir already from a mistress. The only thing that is keeping her in power is her title as Duchess

“Leave my sight you disgusting piece of shit!” She finally finishes after 15 minutes of degrading me.

I bow and leave the room. If only I had married Helena. Maybe then I could escape this torture.

Helena

The sun is shining on my back as I wake up. I can’t tell what time it is. I look up to see Ty still peacefully sleeping, still holding me in his arms. His breathing is soft like a gentle breeze. I touch his cheek.

“Good morning to you too, my love.” He says, smiling.

He opens his eyes to show their forest green hue. The sun is hitting them perfectly. I stare into them for a while before snuggling closer to his firm chest. Since it is the day after the wedding, we are on our honeymoon. There’s no one to bother us. As we continue laying there, it’s like time has stopped. I feel Ty kiss the top of my head. This is something that I have experienced before. I wouldn’t call it love. It’s way too soon for that, but I think it’s more like tenderness or a certain warmth. It’s like I’ve longed for this. I hear his stomach growl. 

“Maybe we should eat breakfast, darling.” I say, holding back a laugh.

“Later,” he says, hugging me tighter. “I need 5 more minutes.”

I just laugh and shake my head.

It’s about noon by the time we finally leave our room. As we walk down the hallway hand in hand, everyone bows and giggles as they scurry away. The atmosphere is different in the castle. It’s like it became brighter overnight. I lead Ty to the garden and we sit at the table in front of my mother’s statue. She looks beautiful. As the servants come out with food, I see Ty looking at the statue. 

“That’s my mother.” I say as I take a bite of food.

“Wow,” He says, still looking up at her. “She looks beautiful.”

He stops looking at the statute and looks at me. 

“I can see you got your mother’s beauty.” He says, smiling.

I can feel my face get flush. I didn’t know Ty was this good with words.

“Thank you.” I say, shyly.

We eat and continue to have small conversations about the plants and statues in the garden. It feels so refreshing to have a normal conversation without having to remember my title as King. We are on the same level. As we finish eating, I see Uncle Bellamey walking towards us. 

“Your Majesties,” He says as he bows. “I take it you are enjoying your honeymoon?” 

“Yes, we are,” I respond, smiling. “Thank you.”

As I look at Ty, I can see the confusion on his face. 

“Ty,” I start, walking towards my uncle. “This is Lord Arthur Bellamey, my uncle.” 

Uncle Bellamey walks over to Ty and bows.

“My Eros, it is a pleasure to finally meet you in person.” Uncle says.

“Likewise, Lord Bellamey.” Ty responds.

“Please call me Arthur, my Eros.” Uncle says quickly.

“Arthur,” Ty says, extending his hand. “Thank you for giving me such a warm welcome.”

Uncle takes his hand with a smile and pulls him into a hug. 

“Please protect my niece.” Uncle says, tearfully.

“With my life.” Ty responds.

After what seems like a lifetime, they finally break the hug, and uncle walks back inside. I turn my attention to Ty who is still standing. He looks beautiful right now. 

“I want to show you something.” I say, smiling.

I reach for his hand, and he grabs it. I lead him past mother’s statue and into the garden maze. We stop just in front of a wooden door in the middle of the maze. I look at Ty, who looks around in amazement. I press my thumb on the door handle, and open the door to show another pathway. As we walk inside,I can feel Ty’s hand grip mine tighter. Soon there is a light at the end of the tunnel, to show a room filled with treasures.

“This is the room of treasures,” I say as I turn to Ty. “And as the current Eros, this all belongs to you to use and run as you see fit.”

Ty slowly looks around the room.

“Lena,” He starts. “This is too much.”

“This is just a fraction of what you will get now that we are married.” I respond.

He looks at me and shakes his head. Suddenly, he walks towards me and kisses me. As we break the kiss, we stare into each other's eyes. 

“What am I going to do with you?” He says, smiling in disbelief.

“Well,” I say, seductively. “I can think of a couple of things.” 

As we go in for another kiss, something catches Ty’s eye, and he turns his head. I turn my head in the same direction to see a sword that I had never seen before. It’s shiny, like it’s never been used before, and it has a blue hilt. Suddenly, Ty starts walking towards it. It’s like he’s in some trance. As he reaches the sword, he lifts it, and a light shines from above. 

‘The power of the Sword of Hades shall now lie with you.’ A voice says.

The light disappears just as fast as it shone its light. Ty looks at me in fear. 

“Lena,” Ty starts. “What is the Sword of Hades?”
