Her Forever

Orion’s POV

I couldn’t sleep. My mate was finally mine, she was my Queen, and I would treat her as such for the rest of eternity. Willa lies face down into the mattress, her head slightly turned to the left as she cuddled into the sheets. Back bare, you could see the tiny goosebumps that tickled her skin as I rubbed small circles in her back.

She had been sleeping for well over an hour, and I knew if we wanted to head to our final destination, ‘our honeymoon,’ as she put it, I would have to wake her soon. The light sources had started to descend, the reception was still blazing with music with another wave of travelers that had heard of the massive unmated party. You could listen to growls, screams, and cheers as many supernaturals found their mates.

It was all Willa’s idea to turn her classical reception into a raging party so mates would be found. She opposed the idea just a month ago; I’m glad now she was a strong advocate for finding mates.

Tickling her on her sides, she started to smile but nuzzled back into the sheets. The sheet came down low on her lower back as I now hovered over her. My hair tickled her sides as I started planting small k****s down her skin.

“Mmm, five more minutes?” she whined as she grabbed a decorative pillow and shoved it in her face.

“I would, Darling, but part the second part of our honeymoon is waiting.” Willa’s eyes popped open as she leaned up on her forearms. Her breasts tickled the sheets as I reached around to cup them. Giggling, she spat, “I thought we had places to go, my king?”

I g*****d at the question. Of course, we do.

We both quickly dressed, and I pulled her into my arms as we glided down to the ground. Several warriors were set around Horus, who was already packed with our belongings for two weeks. We would have clothes in the mountains, but I had numerous gifts to give Willa, and I knew I wouldn’t find them in the cold tundra of the Northern Mountains.

“Are you ready, Darling?” I turned to her as I finished tightening the straps of our cargo. Willa turned to me, and the light hit her face just right, making her look like the Goddess Aphrodite herself. She was wearing tight-fitting leather pants with a warm overcoat, but it didn’t cover her cleavage as she picked the smallest brazier she could find to tease me. “I’m ready, my King,” she said, sultry as I pulled her to me. With a quick k**s on her forehead, I pushed her up onto Horus’ back, who purred gently. Horus had a soft spot for her, as well as every other animal. Tokie hopped outside and immediately shrunk down to the size of a small hamster, and jumped in her front pocket.

“Tokie is freaking adorable! Look at this wittle face!” she cooed as she petted his head. “And he can get big too, right?”

“Big enough to ride,” I joked as her eyes lit up.

“In a few years, Darling, he is still a kit.” Nodding in understanding, I made Willa hold onto my back for the two-hour flight to the Northern Palace.

If we had flown ourselves, it would have taken well over six hours, and on foot or carriage, it would have been days, but Horus and his speed were unmatched. He flew high in the sky, away from the bustling of fairies and faes fluttering about. His wings would glide long and hard as he strode with the wind.

Every so often, I would hear Willa’s awe over the scenery. From the forest area where we lived to the foothills of the elves and the more mountainous terrain of the dragon shifters, we flew on. Several areas were unclaimed territory which some rogues used as their own. They were those without packs or families that chose to remain outside of kingdom protection, not wanting anything to do with others.

Not all rogues were evil, but many were. The term rogue had earned itself a bad name. It only meant they were without companions for one reason or another. It could have been for an evil crime, rebellious against kingdoms, or have ill understanding for their own kind. There could also be packs of rogues, which lead to nothing but trouble.

The weather became cold as we neared the tallest of mountains. Many frost pixies and fairies stayed here, unable to bear the heat of the light sources for long summers. They would visit when we had our own ‘winter’ in The Light Kingdom, which lasted three weeks out of the year.

Snow had recently fallen; stags, bears, and winter fairy foxes were following the shadow of Horus. His bright scales proved to be a treasure they wanted to seek. If only they knew they would be dinner once landed if they dared to follow further.

Willa gripped me tighter as the wind began to pick up; her cheek was cold against my own, and Tokie was even chattering his tiny teeth. “I thought he was supposed to be a winter fox thing?” Willa joked as she nestled him into her jacket.

“He has spent too much time in the Light Kingdom; he’s become acclimated to our weather.”

The snow started to fall again as we approached. The palace sat on the side of a mountain; it wasn’t as large as back home but still beautiful in all its grandeur. As the snow fell around us, I heard Willa squeal and pull out her hand. Small flakes with an iridescent sparkle melted into her palm.

“It’s like a pastel rainbow on each flake!” She laughed as Horus landed on the large balcony overlooking the snowy tundra. As we dismounted, winter fae came close to us to unload our bags. It was now sunset, and Willa ran to the side of the balcony to get a better look. After beckoning the servants to ready our room, I followed her while Tokie jumped out of her pocket and ran inside.

Even he was cold.

“Orion, I’ve never seen anything like this!” The forest was covered in white powder, the wildlife was abundant, perfect for hunting. The snow garden had beautiful bright flowers that only thrived in cold climates already blooming. Winter flowers could be fickle with too much snow on their petals. Trolls that lived in the nearby caves were handsomely paid for their help in keeping them alive. Willa continued to frantically look about, trying to bring in the entire sight.

“Do you like it here?” I wrapped my hands around her waist. Her head leaned back on my shoulder while she smiled.

“It’s so beautiful; I can’t imagine anything more perfect,” she sighed.

“I think I can,” I whispered in her ear as I turned her around to face me. “If you could see the way I see you, you would know how perfect you are for me.” My thumb traced her cheek as she leaned and gave me a sweet and gentle k**s.

Leading her inside the palace, it was much different than at home. Its ceilings were high, but thick red drapes hung over the windows, and animal rugs decorated the floor. The entire palace radiated warmth as each room had a roaring fire keeping us warm.

Our bags were already emptied and place in their respective closets; thick winter furs and clothing were also waiting for us. The large bed held a white snow beast fur, the head no longer attached, knowing it would upset my mate seeing such an evil face. Willa’s hands brushed the fur as her face glowed by the fire.

“I’m scared I’m living a dream, and I’m going to wake up alone again,” she choked as I walked up to her. Pushing back her messy hair from our flight, I cupped her cheek.

“Do you feel this?” The sparks flew across my hand and her cheek, and she nodded sadly. “This is not a dream, and you will not wake up without me. I will be here when we go to sleep, hold you every night, and when we wake, I’ll make love to you every morning so that silly thought of yours is gone.”

Willa smiled as a pink blush dusted her cheeks. “I’m going to hold you to that, my King.” I hummed and kissed her forehead.

“We have a busy day tomorrow. We can explore the palace and the grounds so you can become familiar with it and then maybe see some wildlife. How does that sound?”

“Wonderful,” she breathed. Feeling her heart race, I knew she was thinking of something other than a tour.

“I’ll go get ready for bed.” Her hand trailed down my chest as she left.

The Goddess blessed me with a mate that could keep up with my stamina; at first, I was afraid she would be too shy, but that proved wrong far too quickly. I stripped my overcoat and left nothing but my trousers and my bare feet. Pulling the pillows off the bed and pulling the covers, I hear a light clearing of Willa’s dainty throat.

She’s dressed in a babydoll pink lingerie set. Her navel has a dangling mini-chandelier piece that flickers in the light. I g*****d internally, not wanting to ruin the moment. She wearing a thigh-high garter belt with a matching thong. She looked like a goddess, a s*x goddess that would put any female to shame. The love I have for her only swelled more in my chest. Willa has given herself to me many times the past few weeks, but this was the ultimate gift.

The smile, the love, and humor she has about love if uncomparable to any other woman I had ever had the chance of knowing. If all of the women of the planet had disappeared, I would never know because my eyes would always be on her, my Queen. It isn’t often I am left in shock, but this stunning beauty before me has once again proved me wrong. Willa’s hand is setting on the doorway, waiting for me to beckon her towards me.

“Come,” I rasped as I walked around the bed, slow and steady. Like hunter to prey, or is it really hunter to hunter? We both had l**t in our eyes, raking through each other’s bodies and souls. She was my soul; I could never live without her. “You are everything my heart desires,” I gasped as I pulled her close.

I raised the silk fabric above her h**s as I felt the backside of her body. Willa was already wearing too many clothes.

Leading her to the bed, I picked her up and laid her down like she was a precious work of art. I hovered over her, kissing her forehead, cheeks, and chin, and finally her lips as I grabbed her hair. She pressed her laced chest up my body as I clipped her bra in one stroke. Pooling into my hands, I squeezed and flicked her glorious n*****s as her hands touched my face.

Each finger stroke left the sparks trail down my body. Our hands explored each other like it would be the last time we would see each other. Memorizing every detail, every indention of her skin, my hands trailed down to her luscious thighs. I wanted to be in her; it was a simple as that.

Taking a large breath, I smelled her arousal; it was thick and heavy of l**t. My c**k gently brushed her slit as she m****d my name. Tickling her as I wiggled inside her, her p***y clenched instantly. Tightly, she squeezed my girth as I slid in and out of her.

Neither of us begged; neither of us demanded anything from each other. Just the soft touches, the gentle pull of our nether regions kept us sated. We stared into each other’s eyes as our bodies moved in sync with one another. “I love you,” she g*****d as her eyes started to roll back into her head. Her hair spread throughout the pillow as I pulled both of her legs around my h**s.

Getting a better angle, I sped up my motion, pulsing in her. Within a few seconds, I had already released myself. Her body and mine glistened with sweat. I kept myself inside her wet cavern as I pulled her to my chest while laying on my side.

“And I love you, Darling,” I panted. “Forever, I will.”

“Through thick and thin and whatever future Bergarian throws at us,” she whispered. Knowing there would be a war coming, the double meaning behind it brought me back down from heaven.

“For now, we are in our own paradise, and I will make sure you will always have one.” I rested my chin over her head as we both dreamed about our beautiful future together.

THE END
