Her Forever

Willa’s POV

“I’m sorry what?!” I squealed, causing Eudora to fall back on the couch. Her laughing was going borderline crazy as she finally dusted herself off and stood back up.

“Like I said, he would probably chain you to the bed instead. Fae males are kinky as shit.” Eudora flew to the large bed and pulled out the drawer. “See this?” There were handcuffs, silk ropes, blindfolds, feathers and even a small riding crop.

“The hell is this?!” I jumped back. “What is that all used for?!” Eudora looked at me blankly as she flew up to me to stare at me in the face. “You seriously don’t know?” I shook my head in confusion.

“Wait, you’ve had at least s*x before, right?” I shook my head no and Eudora’s eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. “Oh, my GODS!!! A VIRGIN! You have so much to learn! Come sit, sit!” She waved to the bed as I sat down. Fear dripping from my body as she started to explain.

“Listen here, you have done some things correct?” Looking angrily and crossing my arms I huffed. “I know what the birds and the bees are, I know what s*x is and I don’t need an explanation! I need you to tell me what those devices are in the drawer!” This was getting out of hand, that wasn’t part of s*x now was it? There is a p***s and a v****a and it goes in some places I knew that, but the handcuffs, blindfolds and that crop were not in my explanation of s*x in school.

“I would rather talk to Orion about this. This is private, I gritted.” Eudora giggled and held her hand over her mouth.

“Oh honey, I’m just trying to help. Faes can be a bit adventurous when it comes to…” she looked around before whispering, “intimacy.”

“Do you, use these things?” I asked in disbelief.

“Some and other things,” she laughed and gave me a wink. “My boyfriend and I are a bit more adventurous. You know, public places,” she threw her head back dramatically and showed me her shoulder.

“Goddess, Eudora what if you get caught?!” How could anyone want to do that sort of thing in public?

“It’s exciting, the thought someone could walk up and see you doing the horizontal limbo, the sticky tango, the love rub…” I started covering my ears and hummed. “Anyway,” Eudora giggled. It’s exciting!”

“That’s nice and all, not my style.” I got up from the bed and headed back over to the couch. I thought everything was going to be smooth sailing from here, but more and more questions seem to be running through my mind. Is he into beating his lovers? Pain? Those things look painful to me. What if I didn’t want to have anything to do with that sort of thing?

Orion was dominate in bed but how far will he go? What if we mated and then be brought all this up? My head began to hurt, my heart began to hurt. I have barely done anything, heck I’ve never even seen a d**k in real life and here we are talking about tying me to the bed and letting him have his way with me! What if that was the master plan? He will tie me to the bed and force me to stay!

Nope, not going to happen. I feel my heart closing off right now, the things we did last night seems like a distance memory. It was a nice memory but if we are to move forward with anything, a lot of my questions need answers.

One, being locked up in this room and two what he expects from me sexually because we went from 0 to 100 real quick.

Orion’s POV

“You are late, your highness,” Annan reminded me for the second time as I fixed the sleeves on my jacket. My cape felt unusually heavy today as well as my heart. I had to leave my mate alone in the bed so I could attend a court meeting regarding her.

This is was not what I wanted, to be stuck in a meeting for who knows how long regarding the future of the kingdom. I wanted her to feel comfortable before presenting her to the people but that has been completely ruined.

“I know, Annan. The meeting doesn’t truly start until its king is present anyway, correct?” I gave him a side smirk while he patted my back.

Entering through the double doors that the guards held open, I walked up to my table in the back center of the room. All the noble families were already in attendance, ready to spout whatever nonsense they wanted to do with the kingdom. I stood at my desk, assessing to see everyone was present and I sat down, signaling everyone to follow.

Onyx Cottonfleck stood from his seat and walked to the center of the stadium style room, built enough for 50 members. He saunters to the podium and has several papers he organizes before he is facing me with a stern face.

“Your Highness,” he spoke arrogantly. “There is rumor in the kingdom that you have found your mate.” Onyx paused as I rested my hand on my cheek, looking at him unamused. Onyx waited for me to speak but I just waved my finger at Annan to speak for me. It was better that way; people think I’m either passive or too pissed off to speak. I let them think what they want.

“His Highness is aware of the rumor, what of it?” I think Annan needs a raise, or maybe a better home inside the castle. He puts up with so much s**t for me.

Onyx cleared his throat, irritation clear in his voice. “Is it true?” he demanded. I sat up from my seat, getting quite uncomfortable where this is going.

“What does it matter to you?” I growled at him. Many members of the court shocked that I spoke out loud to a group of people. Many started whispering to each other, concerned over my outburst. Annan was my speaker, if there was something to be said, he spoke for me.

“Y-your Highness, we need to know if you have found your mate. It is your duty to claim her and let the people know of your intended,” he gave a sly smirk. The whole point of him wanting to expose her was to make up flaws so my subjects would say she was unfit to be queen. The damn nobles and their pride. Their minds have been twisted into thinking the Moon Goddess can’t properly match. This in itself could cause coup in the court, faes trying to overthrow me and try and take a new king. Onyx has eyed the throne for a long time.

This wasn’t going to happen. Little did they know the werewolves and a few shifter communities were on our side. I just needed to keep Willa safe until she allowed me to mark her as mine and complete the bond.

“Who are you to say that your King doesn’t fulfill his duties?” I rose from my seat, the aura he was spilling was fear but his face remained stoic, I knew he wanted my crown. He wanted it when my father had it, but this time I will make sure he will rot in the grave.

I pulled the magic within my body and let it seep through my fingertips. The anger and fury I felt was indescribable. My fangs descended and there were gasps with in the room. My fangs made them terrified but more so as my ears began to elongate. Since meeting Willa, she told me she wasn’t afraid of my true form, that every fae should embrace it, even more so when protecting a mate or our kingdom.

Onyx stood back in shock. “Your H-highness! What is the meaning of this!” he yelled while only a few others yelled in agreement. I stood on the desk and jumped down in front of him. My claws grew as I approached him and grabbed his neck.

“I will bring forth my mate when I am ready and none earlier, I growled. Do not tempt me in using my instincts and killing you now.” I pulled Onyx closer and whispered in his ear. “I know what you are doing and trust me, I will stop you.” I dropped him to the floor and walked out of the court room.

I could hear Onyx’s wife run to him to help him up, but he just took his arm away from her.

“That went well.” Annan joked as he jogged to my side. “And what do you think that accomplished?” I stopped in my tracks and faced Annan, “I have no control when it comes to my mate’s safety. Exposing her now would only endanger and overwhelm her. I can’t lose her.” I started walking again but felt a small tap hit my chest.

“Your Majesty!” It was Molly, one of the fairies that I had look over Willa in case she woke up. “Is Willa alright?” I asked concerned.

“Oh, yes, yes! She did say however if you do not come back into the room in an hour she would leave and go back to her cabin with the wolves though.” I g*****d while she laughed.

“Hi, Annan,” Molly said flirtatiously while adjusting her breasts. Annan only bowed at her and winked before she giggled and flew away.

“Your mate is a feisty one huh?”

“I wouldn’t want it any different. She challenges me in things other women wouldn’t.” Annan laughed as I headed back to our room.

***

Without knocking, I walked into the room to see a very flustered Willa with Eudora sitting on the bed. Willa’s eyes didn’t look at me with love, no she had nothing but confusion and hurt in her eyes.

“Darling, what is wrong? I’m sorry it took so long to come back.” I rushed to her side and put my arm around her, she continued to be stiff. My hand cupped her cheek and for the first time I felt a tear come from her eyes. She had been strong for so long and now I finally see her break.

“Darling, talk to me,” I whispered. The next thing I know, she pulls up a set of handcuffs beside her lap and drops them in my lap. Oh s**t.

“Leave,” I told Eudora and Molly that had followed me in. Both cowered at my tone and flew out a nearby window.

“What are these, Orion?” Her voice cracking. My heart wanted to pick her up and bury her face into my neck, to comfort her and show her that everything was alright. Things were not alright for her and she feels betrayed. I kept silent, trying to gather my words. “Are you going to force me to stay here, to mark me? Are you going to tie me to the bed while you have s*x with me?” her voice grew higher with each word.

“Darling, please let me explain,” I begged. Looking into my eyes she stood up and walked across the room and sat in a decorative chair.

“Explain from there. When you are close to me, I want to forgive you too easily.” Damn, she was smart. She was trying to go around our bond to make sure she was making the right decisions. She will be the perfect queen, if she will have me.

“Like I have said before, I would never force you to mate with me. I would never take your freedom like that. I want you to love me with your own heart. These things,” I waved to the handcuffs, the ties and several other items in the drawer, “are ways to make intimacy more pleasurable, enjoyable. We don’t even have to make love to use them. It is just a way to put a twist on pleasure and make it more exciting.” Her head tilted in confusion. My heart skipped a beat, excited that she wanted to know more.

“These,” I held up a blindfold, “will take away your sight, so your other senses are heightened. You will feel my touch a little bit stronger, the excitement of where my hands will be next.” Willa’s breath hitched and looked at the other items in the drawer.

“These,” the handcuffs clinked as I held them up, “make it so you can’t touch me, but I can touch you. You may want to run your hands through my hair, my body but the anticipation of you wanting to touch me will mean so much more when you can. This crop, is to be used for touching you, tickling you and maybe a light smack or two.” Willa released a breath and rubbed her thighs together.

“We don’t even have to use these things!” I threw the things back in the drawer and slammed it shut. I just want you, and you only. I don’t need them to make me want you, it is just a way to play that’s all,” I pleaded.

“So, you aren’t forcing me to stay or try to hurt me or take anything away from me?” She sniffed as my heart clenched. “Darling, I would never,” I pleaded. It was a bad move on my part putting those there, but I didn’t have much time to move things around before she arrived. f**k, I was dumb. She is so innocent when it comes to intimacy and here, I am holding things in my drawer making her think I would hurt her.

“I swear to you baby, I would never. Please, can I hold you. It’s killing me seeing you like this.” Willa nodded and I rushed to her side, kissing her forehead. “I’m sorry, Darling. I should have moved all of that out of here.” I continued to pepper her face with k****s and she finally started laughing.

“You fae people are crazy,” she laughed. “Maybe after a while, once I’m comfortable with other things, if we progress, we could try it.”

“Are you sure, Darling,” I answered seductively, nipping at her ear. Hell, we were going to progress, I can promise you that.

“Yes,” she whispered as she leaned into me.
