Chapter 04 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u201cMilady, how does the dress feel?\u201d Teyla asked as she saw Aracely in the beautiful dress that tailor Cadman had brought over, after quickly sizing the lady up. It seemed like a perfect fit, almost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Struggling to breathe, Aracely looked down, where her bosom was pressed flat from the corset. \u201cLike every other – uh – uncomfortable formal that I had to attend as a child,\u201d she replied before gasping a little when Teyla pulled the cords tighter in the back. \u201cIs this necessary?\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re going to be wedded to Prince John, of course it is necessary, even if it\u2019ll be a very small ceremony, because of the King\u2019s health.\u201d Teyla smiled warmly. \u201cIt is the only fitting dress we have right now, but, if you wish, our tailor could make you better dresses, for future formal occasions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wish, I wish,\u201d Aracely squeaked out. \u201cChaya would have fitted this much better. I am afraid I am not as slender as she.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re healthy, that is all that matters.\u201d Teyla then looked at her. \u201cI do not suppose you have something of your own that looks appropriate to wear?\u201d She motioned for another maiden to fix the corset, so that Aracely could at least breathe easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the upper cords loosened, she was more comfortable, even if she now appeared to have a larger bosom than she truly did. \u201cNot with me, I am sorry. This is a lovely gown and your seamstress worked so hard on it, already.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou look beautiful,\u201d Teyla smiled. \u201cI am sure John will appreciate it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf he does not, I will make him wear one of these things and then I will be positive that he will appreciate the lengths that I would go through,\u201d she said as she shifted the waistline, so that it sat on her frame a bit more smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMake sure that I will be able to see John in one, should he say something.\u201d Teyla chuckled. \u201cDo you want me to do your hair?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely looked at her reflection. \u201cI don\u2019t know. I suppose we could pin it back? I don\u2019t see the need to make it overly-elaborate. We are holding the services in the King\u2019s chamber, yes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe so, Meredith has gone to ask John.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeredith?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJohn\u2019s godfather… strange little man.\u201d Teyla shook her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t say anything but still was rather amused. Once they were done, she turned to Teyla. \u201cI suppose now we wait for John?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, there was a racket outside Aracely\u2019s chambers. \u201cRonon put me down!\u201d John\u2019s voice could be heard. \u201cI can walk myself… you\u2019re embarrassing me… come on, please put me down, don\u2019t make me beg…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe he\u2019s already here,\u201d Teyla said with a smile on her lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely went to lift the dress, so that she could go to the door, but Teyla held her back. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou may not see or feel how eager you look, but you will wait here. I will go to make sure that John is waiting in the bedchamber for you, with the minister. Patience milady,\u201d she grinned before making her way out to the hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTeyla…\u201d John complained. \u201cRonon is stopping me from going to see Aracely.\u201d John was sitting on Ronon\u2019s shoulders, having to duck for almost every light fixture on the ceiling. \u201cI can walk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teyla had leaned against the door so that he could not enter past her, either. \u201cI am sorry, but you will have to go wait for her with your father. She will be there, shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTold you so,\u201d Ronon said and looked at Teyla. \u201cWant me to release him?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnly if his Highness will behave and go wait in the King\u2019s chambers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI promise I\u2019ll be good,\u201d John said and sighed. \u201cPlease put me down…\u201d He was glad to be able to feel the ground again; he didn\u2019t really like heights and Ronon was an unusually tall man. \u201cThank you,\u201d John said as he continued to walk towards his father\u2019s chambers, slightly annoyed that he wasn\u2019t allowed to see Aracely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teyla looked at Ronon silently. All he did was nod and he knew that he was to keep their friend in the room, as he would more than likely sneak back out. \u201cI promise that I won\u2019t keep her long. Just a few more moments. Gabriella should be there already. I had someone send for her while the Lady was finishing her bath.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFine,\u201d John\u2019s voice sounded from the end of the corridor. He opened the door to his father\u2019s chambers and found Gabriella sitting in a chair next to the door, on the inside. If he wasn\u2019t mistaken, she was wearing an old dress of Teyla\u2019s, and made a mental note to make it more clear to Meredith, who was sitting beside John\u2019s father, to keep his hands off of the young woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey are keeping you from seeing Lady Aracely, too?\u201d she asked as she stood eagerly, having hoped that it was her friend who had arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John nodded. \u201cIt\u2019s not fair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMiss Teyla told me that she wanted Aracely to be a surprise for us, as we would not see her in such a manner again. That she would only be wed once, to you,\u201d she smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know,\u201d John said slowly. \u201cIt\u2019s just that I want to make sure she\u2019s alright, because knowing Teyla, she has been forced into a corset dress, and I am sure she doesn\u2019t like them…. although I think she must look really pretty in one!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabriella chuckled and nodded. \u201cShe does not like the feeling of being trapped. She always considered them to be a method of cruel torture to women.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI find them hazardous for the fingers of men.\u201d John nodded as he excused himself to check up on his father, getting a glare from Meredith. \u201cStop it, Mer,\u201d John warned him as he sat down in the chair beside his father\u2019s bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister slipped in quietly, with Carson, and they made their way over. The physician had large smile on his face as he looked down at the boy that he come to watch grow up. \u201cI just caught a glance of the young lady coming down the corridor. She really is quite lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John groaned. \u201cIt\u2019s not fair that you got to see her first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am not the one to wed her,\u201d he pointed out as the sounds of the doors being pushed open filled the space. Teyla entered, but paused briefly before Aracely entered, to say something to her. It took another moment before she stepped aside, to reveal the bride stepping in slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John couldn\u2019t believe his eyes. Aracely looked enchanting and even more gracious than she already was. He quickly rose to his feet and walked towards her. \u201cYou look… amazing,\u201d he smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you,\u201d she said as she looked at him. He certainly looked more attractive than she imagined while she was preparing. Regardless of the blush on her face, her cheek was still very much reddened from Chaya, but she couldn\u2019t even feel the pain from it anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carson coughed to get their attention, as he stood from looking over the King, who happened to awaken amidst their distractions. \u201cMy John…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John took Aracely\u2019s hand and walked with her towards the bed. He kneeled down next to the bed and took his father\u2019s hand. \u201cI am here, Father.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking up at the minister, who nodded his agreement, Aracely joined John on her knees, taking care that she did not accidentally rip the fabric of her dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis,\u201d the King coughed, \u201cis this your Queen?\u201d he asked as he raised a weak finger to point at the girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, father, this is my heart, Lady Aracely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The King nodded, seemingly in approval, as he gave a small smile before closing his eyes. \u201cAlmost as lovely as your mother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour Highness, we should begin,\u201d the minister interceded softly, as he hugged his bible to his breast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John nodded as he smiled at Aracely. Instead of the long, traditional and extremely boring prayers that they would normally have endured, the minister was kind enough to shorten it for the sake of the King\u2019s comfort, as well. The ill man slipped in and out of consciousness a few times through their prayers, that had everyone, including Carson, on edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the couple finished with the vows prepared by the minister, Aracely could not keep her eyes from the King\u2019s sleeping form. From the pasty shade of grey that covered his skin, she was now sure that their pressure to perform the services that evening was the right one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finishing the final hymn, she squeezed John\u2019s hand reassuringly, as she could see that he too was thinking much of the same. It was not long after that the minister shared that the two were indeed now married to one another, but the moment was bittersweet. Lying on his death bed, the King was clearly slipping away more than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely could not help but to shed a tear. While she was not favorable of the King\u2019s choices, in regard to the well-being of her home village, for a man such as John – who was very much open-hearted – to lose the father he clearly was dearly fond of, was difficult to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small congregation that was present, as witness to the nuptials of the Prince, was soon broadened with more of the castle staff, to bid their final words of peace. For the many that remained, it was a near-deafening silence as everyone struggled to listen for the old man\u2019s breath. It wasn\u2019t more than shortly before the rise of the sun that Carson shared that he was certain that the King had departed their realm of life for another. \u201cThe King is dead,\u201d Carson declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLong live the King,\u201d the few people in the room chorused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John looked at his Father, the hand he was holding had gone limp. \u201cCarson, are you sure?\u201d he hesitantly asked, not really wanting to believe the physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am afraid so, my friend,\u201d Carson replied quietly. \u201cThe blood does not flow through his body any longer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John slowly nodded and carefully placed his father\u2019s hand on his body, along with his other hand. His father looked as if he was sleeping, and John had to tell himself that his father was sleeping, but he would not wake up again. \u201cPrepare for his burial,\u201d he managed to say. \u201cMy Father, the King, will be buried within three suns, in our crypt underneath the castle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, your Highness,\u201d one of the head staff murmured with a bow before leaving the chambers with a few of his workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely had long since stepped back to sit with Teyla and Gabriella, to allow John the time he needed to mourn his father. Teyla stood quietly, to leave to prepare John\u2019s room for his rest, as she was certain he would be soon weary from the long evening of events. As much as the girl wished to stay with her friend, Gabriella was also quite tired herself, and slowly nodded off, repeatedly, before it was noticed, and Aracely insisted she go rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John looked at Aracely; she was sitting alone near the door and she looked tired. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to stay…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her eyes flew open after realizing that she was slowly succumbing to her exhaustion. Looking up at her now husband, Aracely shook her head. \u201cNo, my place is at your side,\u201d she said before a small yawn escaped. \u201cI am fine. As long as you remain here, so will I.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be stubborn,\u201d John said and sighed. \u201cYou must think I\u2019m a fool for remaining with my father\u2019s empty shell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do not,\u201d she replied with offense. \u201cHe is your father and you simply are not ready to let him go, even as he has passed on. There is nothing foolish of feeling lost with his death, of any death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am afraid that if I walk out of this chamber, and I would return after some rest, that he would not be here any more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely sighed as she dropped her hands to her lap. \u201cYou are the Prince. If you so ordered them to leave your father in his bed until you return, they will do as you ask. In less than three sun\u2019s time, you will be crowned King and, as much as you miss your father, you must be mindful of your own health, for the people. Now, please stop being so petulant and go find yourself some sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He managed to pull himself away from his father and walked towards Aracely, holding out his hand for her, smiling. \u201cYou win, Aracely,\u201d John nodded. \u201cAre you coming?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearly hesitant, she knew that she had to follow. While she was not comfortable, nor did she believe she was even ready for marriage, especially of this regard, it would be a continual learning process for her to overcome her opposition to many things. Nodding, Aracely stood but kept her head low as she followed John, silently praying that he would not wish to consummate their marriage, however knew that it was likely and expectant of them now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere do you want to sleep, Aracely?\u201d John asked her as they exited the chamber, into the corridor. Apart from losing his father, getting married and becoming King in a matter of days, he was terrified and hoped that she did not expect him to force her into any intimate relations. He was so tired, he believed he wouldn\u2019t even be able to perform. He would love for her to stay with him, but he left that choice up to her, suspecting that she was feeling anxious herself. \u201cAnd I thought we had made progress, you and I. You\u2019re my equal, don\u2019t bow your head when you\u2019re walking through the corridor with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previously confident woman was certainly different with all the changes that were happening, but she would likely return to her former self, once she grew more comfortable with the new life she had accepted. \u201cMy apologies. I will sleep wherever you wish me to,\u201d she answered, looking up at him and taking a breath to prepare herself for if he requested that she join him in his bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was not my question,\u201d John said and rubbed his face with his hand, stopping dead in his tracks. They were in front of the chamber Aracely had been in before. He opened the door. \u201cI\u2019m too tired to argue, I\u2019m too tired to even want to ask if you\u2019d like it if we\u2019d… because I can\u2019t… I just want to sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely swallowed as she looked into the room. If it was only sleep he truly wished for, then she believed that she could join him. She had slept with him in the carriage, during their journey to the castle, and the time might help her grow more comfortable in his presence for when he did wish to seek more of her. \u201cThen I will join you for sleep,\u201d she said, raising her chin to him, feeling slightly put off that he was quick to choose for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you,\u201d he said, entering the chambers, not wanting to walk towards his own. He pulled off his boots and laid down on the bed. \u201cGood night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stood there, unsure of what to do as he laid in her bed, still in his day clothes from the ceremony. One of the maidens who had been confused as to the Prince\u2019s choice of bed hurried to assist Aracely out of her dress. There would be no way that she could sleep comfortably with a corset as tight as hers was. As she was assisted into her bed clothes, she glanced back at John, who looked to be in a sound rest so quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crawling into her side of the bed, she laid her head to the pillow as the staff left the newly-wedded couple to their rest. For as tired as the girl was, she found it difficult to fall into a slumber, laying there with a man beside her. He was not just any man though. Aracely had a lot of fears to overcome, she knew, but all she could think about was this man, John, who she decided to force her mind to not recognize him as anyone other than the Johan she met in San Franciskus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

John was slightly disoriented when he woke up; he wasn\u2019t in his own chambers. He was still fully dressed and someone had wrapped herself around him. Without freaking out, he managed to check to see who it was, afraid that he had already made a big mistake by sharing a bed other than with his new wife. He was relieved to find that Aracely was the presence in the bed, not even his bed, and looked up to the ceiling, wondering how he was going to get out of bed without waking her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he tried to shift in the bed, Aracely\u2019s hold on him grew stronger and she had now put a leg around his to stop him from leaving. John knew she was still asleep, but this was opposite to her behavior while being awake, and he had to admit he liked it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A maiden quietly entered with some fruits to set on the bedside table. She smiled lightly at the Prince. \u201cSome fresh choices for when you and her Highness wishes,\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow are the arrangements coming?\u201d John asked softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMiss Teyla said that you should not worry yourself, that everything is being managed well,\u201d she answered. \u201cIs there anything else that I could fetch for you, Sire?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, thank you,\u201d John said and watched as the maiden walked out. John gently tried to release himself from Aracely\u2019s hold, but as she started to stir more, he stopped. He didn\u2019t want to wake her and freak out because she had wrapped herself around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She let out a soft moan as she slowly began to awake. Tucking her face away from the light that filtered in from afternoon sun, she grumbled. Lifting her head to look around, Aracely narrowed her eyes on John.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood morning, your highness,\u201d he smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning to look back at the window, she blinked before sitting up. \u201cIt is long past the morning,\u201d she mumbled. \u201cWhy are you here?\u201d she asked with her post-sleep confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t want to walk to my chambers,\u201d John chuckled. Aracely looked adorable while she was still trying to piece things together. He sat up against the headboard and smiled. \u201cI gather you slept well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHeavily,\u201d she sighed as her eyes fell on the platter of fruit. \u201cIs that for us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes.\u201d He took the platter to bring it closer to her. \u201cWant some?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely hummed her approval as she reached to take a piece and raised it to her lips. Looking around, she was relieved that there were no servants in the room. As she ate the melon, she looked back at John. \u201cThank you,\u201d she smiled softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t thank me, you should thank the maiden who put it there.\u201d He smiled at her. \u201cYou look beautiful, today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know that is not what I meant – John,\u201d she blinked, trying to not think of his compliment, though it did bring colour to her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know what you mean, and you\u2019re welcome,\u201d he said playfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She found herself smiling unexpectedly. \u201cApart from managing the King\u2019s burial services – of which I am deeply sorry for, what other business do we have to address?\u201d Aracely asked more seriously as she passed a slice of melon to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNothing important right now,\u201d John said. \u201cMaybe I could show you around the castle, show you the gardens…. and I want to talk to you about something very important…. so maybe that is important, I don\u2019t know.\u201d He furrowed his brow. \u201cI just confused myself.\u201d He chuckled as he took the slice of melon from her. \u201cThank you, my Princess.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou confused me as well,\u201d she replied. \u201cWhat is it you wish to speak of?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know I have been going on about how I want you to be my equal, that I want you to treat me as me<\/em> and not as my title, and I know it\u2019s hard on you, but I am glad that you\u2019re trying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely nodded and bit on her lower lip. \u201cI truly am. I ask for your patience of course in regards to matters, um, more \u2026\u201d she trailed off unable to say the words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m a very patient man, I promise I won\u2019t do anything you don\u2019t want me to. You need<\/em> to be open with me, speak your mind because I can not read minds.\u201d He smiled. \u201cFor instance… if I do this…\u201d he slowly reached up his hand and started to caress her hair, it felt so soft even without having her brushed it. \u201cAnd you don\u2019t want me to… you should say it…\u201d He was suddenly fascinated by her hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She nodded unable to speak as her eyes stayed on his face. Every touch he made caused her to feel as if her heart was ready to jump from her chest. It was strangely frightening and exhilarating at the same time and when she turned her face to his hand a sense of warmth filled her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John fought the urge to kiss her, and gently removed his hand. \u201cWhen you\u2019re my Queen, I want you to have something to do, something important, something YOU can decide over. If you wish, I want you to take care of the villages that need help, I will send out my men and make a list of villages such as San Franciskus and I want you to oversee that they are helped with anything they need. Would you like that?\u201d John realized he had thrown a lot of responsibility in her lap, but he knew she was able to do it. \u201cShould you require anything but the standard things such as food, medicine and water… for example, you need men to help rebuild a village or defend it, we can coordinate that together, but other than that, it will be your<\/em> project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he pulled away, she could not help but to open her eyes in surprise and feel a sense of loss. As she listened she nodded. \u201cThank you,\u201d she said, still trying to come to sense with what had just happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know it\u2019s big, and scary, and I will help you any way that I can, but I know you don\u2019t like to sit around idly and if I want to change things, why not put you in charge of this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely looked up at him before turning away. \u201cI understand. I would very much enjoy assuring the needs of the villages are met.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He then gently pulled her in his arms, wanting to feel her body heat against him as he put the platter of fruit in her lap. \u201cIs there anything you would like?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She smiled as she found that she actually truly enjoyed the feeling of his arms around her. \u201cActually, I am finding this quite enjoyable,\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo am I.\u201d John smiled and sighed happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWould you answer a question if it were a deeply personal one?\u201d Aracely asked, her fingers toying with the bed linen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John thought for a second and then nodded. \u201cOf course, you\u2019re my Princess now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease do not take offense but I cannot help but wonder how many women you have had. Of what I would be compared to when the time comes for you and I…\u201d she asked feeling almost like a small child in his arms. It was a greatly inappropriate query in her place but she hoped that he was true to being open to her as he had spoke repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh… oh…\u201d John frowned. \u201cI never counted them, really. I was happy to receive the comfort they brought me when I was in need…\u201d he then sighed and shook his head. \u201cI am just as nervous as you are, Aracely, because even now, your warmth against me makes me feel things I haven\u2019t felt before and I just hope<\/em> that when you\u2019re ready, I will be able to be gentle and to be give you the most wonderful sensation there is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely nodded as she let his words resound in her mind. Falling into a quiet lull, her head rested against him. Laying against one another like that for sometime, she soon realized that Teyla or Gabriella had not come in other than the one maiden. \u201cIs it odd that no one has come to see on either of us?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think Teyla realizes we need some time alone. I\u2019m sure that if they need something that they\u2019ll come in.\u201d John answered as he picked a grape from the platter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh,\u201d she replied. \u201cThe quiet is nice considering all that has happened in just a day\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He held the grape in front of her mouth. \u201cGrape, milady?\u201d He grinned as she glanced up at him and opened her mouth slowly as her eyes stayed on his. His whole body reacted to that sultry look she had in her eyes. Did she even know what she was doing to him? John swallowed hard as he popped the grape into her mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely chewed the grape, surprised at how sweet the fruit was. Unlike the quality she grew accustomed to for herself. She smiled and looked back at the tray. \u201cThat was delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John smiled widely and took another grape from the platter. \u201cOnly the best is good enough for my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHmm, I wonder if it is possible to change the thoughts of the King to be?\u201d she asked as she looked to the grape he held. \u201cBecause sweet fruits should be shared by all I believe,\u201d she added as she took it from his hand and reached up for him to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John chuckled as he opened his mouth as she put the grape into his mouth. He really needed to keep himself in check if he didn\u2019t want to ravage Aracely right then. She\u2019s not as innocent as she looks<\/em>, he thought to himself. He chewed on the grape and then put the platter back on the table next to the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She sat up confused. \u201cHave I done something wrong?\u201d she asked as she looked around nervously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d John chuckled as he gently pulled her back against him. \u201cRelax.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swallowing she let him guide her back to him and laid against his body again. The warmth she felt from him helped her to fall more lax as it gave her a sense of comfort. As Aracely had in her slumber, even in consciousness her form drew closer to his.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He softly started to caress her arm and kissed the top of her head, breathing in her scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her eyes fell closed as she allowed herself to be open to him, albeit small affections thus far. Aracely\u2019s breathing deepened as she waited for what the man, her husband, might do next as her heart raced from scared anticipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRelax…\u201d he said softly in her ear. \u201cI\u2019m not going to do anything you don\u2019t want me to, you\u2019re in control… I just can\u2019t seem to keep my hands off of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely nodded as she ran her tongue instinctively over her dry lips. \u201cI trust you,\u201d she said in barely a whisper. \u201cI trust you not to hurt me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan I just kiss you?\u201d he softly caressed her cheek, glad to see that the redness had started to subside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d she whispered, pleased that John had asked for her permission. Opening her eyes, looked up to be able to see his face, his own expressions and it reminded her of the looks she had observed her father give her own mother. In knowing that, some of her tension did disappear into the darkness of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John smiled and slowly moved his face towards hers, before unhurriedly kissing her. Gently parting her lips with his tongue to ease them both into a deeper kiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely let him guide her before she felt comfortable enough to press herself back into his. It was a new feeling that she quickly found she enjoyed very much. When they parted for air, she blinked before leaning back in for more, feeling a loss as if the softness of his lips had so quickly become a part of her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He kissed her again, after he was sure that she was okay. Her soft lips and her taste were already like a drug to him, he wanted more. John played with her hair while they kissed, burying his fingers into the thick strands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The position they were in had soon grown uncomfortable, with her back against his body and head angled up to his. Breaking their connection she immediately apologized as she struggled to sit up. \u201cI am sorry, so sorry,\u201d she repeated. \u201cIt was um, I was…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUncomfortable.\u201d John nodded. \u201cWhy won\u2019t you come sit on my lap?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely looked back at the door from her chambers to the corridor before carefully shifting on the bed so that she was sitting up, but faced him as her legs curled under her. She looked up at him with a small smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOr that.\u201d He smiled as he caressed her hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am sorry if this disappoints you,\u201d she said. \u201cI will sit on your lap if it pleases you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t do that.\u201d John told her and shook his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She looked at him with her large eyes, smiling. \u201cBut – I do mean that. I simply found this to be of more comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re doing what you want, and I\u2019m more than happy.\u201d He smiled as he kissed her again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being more than pleased herself with his kisses, Aracely returned them eagerly. Her hand had snuck up at some point, brushing against the skin of his neck that enchanted her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His hands slowly wandered from her hair to her back and hoped he wasn\u2019t going too fast for her. Feeling her hands on his neck, her skin on his, was unexpected but encouraging to continue with what this may very well be leading to. Slowly John began to stray with his kisses, over her jaw and down her neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her eyes wandered around on the wall behind him as she quickly realized what was happening. The beat of her heart nearly doubled but she did nothing to stop him, except to take a deep breath to calm herself. She had to remind herself that he had done nothing to indicate any harm to her and thus far kept each of word of promise he made to her. Vala had spoken a great deal of the pleasures of love that she had shared with her own husband but the one story that she was told was the only one that could think of then. The physical pain she very well may feel if she were to allow him to proceed to the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John wanted to feel her skin with his hands, he could easily sneak his hands underneath her night attire, but he didn\u2019t want to startle her. \u201cAre you okay?\u201d He softly asked her and caressed her cheek as he looked into her eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She settled her hand on his shoulder, her fingers curling in the fabric of his blouse. \u201cYes, I am fine,\u201d she answered, shifting her head so that her cheek rested in the palm of his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan I put my hands underneath your night gown? I promise I will only touch your back, but you\u2019re covered up… I want to feel your skin, caress it, and not the fabric.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swallowing hard, she nodded unable to speak. Oh how she wished to feel his touch as much as he wished to touch her but she still was not yet brave enough to do more herself to express that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He gently tugged on her shirt, as she was sitting on the edges of the fabric with her knees, and made sure he didn\u2019t pull it off of her, even though he was eager to see her without the shirt. He kissed her as he put his hands underneath her night shirt and started to caress her back, loving the feeling of her skin underneath his finger tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling his fingers dance over her skin made it feel as if it were on fire. Every stroke made her feel like she was a magnet, being pulled closer to his body until there was only the small space of loose clothing separating them. \u201cJohn,\u201d she sighed into his lips, her unsaid words disappearing into his kiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John broke off the kiss and looked at her. \u201cHmm?\u201d He smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She narrowed her eyes as they were fixated on his lips and how they moved. \u201cWhy did you just stop?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He chuckled and started to kiss her again. \u201cYour wish is mine…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely enjoyed the moment greatly as her mind continued to comprehend everything. Coming to a decision, she pulled back from John, her hand on his chest. Her eyes were tightly closed as she struggled to compose herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo you want me to stop?\u201d John looked at her as he slowly removed his hands from her back. \u201cWhat did I do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou did nothing,\u201d she said quickly, shaking her head. She raised her eyes to his as she let out a shaky breath. Shifting on the bed, she moved to kneel beside him as her hands moved to her sleep shirt. Taking one last deep breath, she slowly pulled it over her head, feeling a moment of bravery to expose herself to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was surprised by her action, and astounded by her upper body. She was perfect, her breasts were round and surely they must be very soft. He looked into her eyes to see if there was any hint of hesitation, but she was staring at him in return. \u201cWow…\u201d he smiled and sighed happily. John had known she was beautiful, but he hadn\u2019t expected that she was hiding such a beautiful body underneath her clothes. He slowly reached out to her body, gently touching her shoulders, and then moving his hands down her torso, unable to control himself. She\u2019d stop him if she didn\u2019t want him to touch her, he was sure of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as with her back, his touch felt as if he was sending flames over her skin. Looking down, her eyes followed the trail that he made as his fingers moved lower. \u201cDo I please you?\u201d she asked, nervousness in her voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlways.\u201d John swallowed hard as he looked at her. \u201cWould you be more comfortable if I took my shirt off?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you wish so,\u201d Aracely smiled recalling vividly his body as he worked on the holes outside her village. Her hand had settled over his as it rested on her waist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John kissed her as he started to unbutton his shirt. \u201cYou are beautiful, my Aracely.\u201d His eyes were dark with desire. \u201cI think that God had a spare magic trick, and decided to create you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her eyes watching him and reveled in his attention. Yes, she understood the attraction many of the women she heard speak of him. Until that day, she did not care but now he was hers in a small way. Sighing, she could not resist reaching to feel the curls of his chest hair once he shed his shirt. \u201cI must admit that I had thought often of touching your skin after seeing you work that afternoon,\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I hope I live up to your expectations.” John loved the feeling of her fingers moving across his chest and shifted a little so h e was more comfortable sitting. He gently caressed her sides, slowly moving towards her breasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely froze briefly under his fingers but did not stop him from his exploration. “Your touch is like fire to my skin. Is that unusual?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think so…\u201d John responded as he gently cupped her breasts. They felt glorious! \u201cYour touch has the same effect on me… when we kiss, it feels as if the world around us disappears, the taste of you driving me mad…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely nodded and leaned in closer where her body pressed into his palm and initiated a deeply felt kiss. “Yes, your taste is quite intoxicating as well.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John groaned as she pushed her body into his palm to kiss him. He couldn\u2019t help but squeeze them a little, before brushing his thumbs over her nipples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wave of excitement rushed through her straight to her core. The sensation surprised her so much that she bit down on his lip in a moan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had been ignoring the growing erection in his trousers for the sake of sanity, but her moan resonated through his entire body and combined with her unexpectedly biting down on his lip, his arousal started to press against the fabric. He deepened the kiss as he teased her nipples again, before lowering his hands to her sides again, caressing her stomach and lower back, to give Aracely a reprieve of the new sensations her body were giving her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She could not help but grin. “That was interesting. Did I hurt you?” she asked while reaching up to touch his lip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No, you didn’t hurt me.” John smiled, glad that she found it interesting and not scary. If she’d allow him to, he might make her scream out in pleasure later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely looked at him, almost as if waiting for more. “What do you wish for me to do for you?” she asked, her eyes searching his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I can almost promise you, you’ll like my touches more if you’d lay down and just relax.” John said with a lopsided grin. “I’m still not going to do anything you don’t want me to, I’m not going to hurt you… I just want to make you feel marvelous.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Alright,” she nodded as she moved to lay in the center of the bed, beside where he sat. She watched him move around with a wary eye but smiled reassuringly that she was thus far, alright with what he had already done to her. “You may continue on, John, but please if I do change my thoughts…”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am not going to do anything you don’t want me to.” He said again, and softly started to kiss her neck while he leaned on one arm and his free hand caressed her stomach, making sure he didn’t even come close the waistline of her night trousers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely nodded. “I will tell you to stop if need be,” she too reminded him with a soft moan of his lips on her neck. Her eyes rolled back in her head as John’s tongue traced her veins causing her hands to flex over the sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he slowly kissed his way down towards her breasts, his hands moved upwards. He decided to brush his thumb over her now erect nipple and felt her squirm underneath his touch, and her moan was the sound of heaven. John then decided to place a kiss on her breast, before capturing her nipple with his lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy the Gods!\u201d she cried as her eyes flew down to him. Was this the heaven that her friend spoke of often? If so, she was afraid she had been missing a lot. Her legs grew restless as they parted to give him a more comfortable place above her body. \u201cOh, John…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John grinned up to her with a mischievous look on his face. \u201cYes, my lady?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have the soul of a devil child,\u201d she replied in a daze as she reached to touch his shoulders and slid her hands down his arm revelling at the detail of his muscle tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoes that mean you wish for me to stop?\u201d He teased as he decided to brush her other nipple with his thumb. He knew he would have her cry out sooner or later, and it had sounded as music to his ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small laugh filled Aracely as she rolled her head back and forth. \u201cI have not said as much, have I? Or is there little else to do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh no, my Princess.\u201d John grinned. \u201cThere is so much more I can make you feel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow can you feel more than the heavens\u2019?\u201d she asked in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, the sensation of multiple heavens, of course.\u201d He replied simply. \u201cDo you allow me to help you out of the rest of your night attire?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking another breath, she nodded her permission. Dropping her hands from his arms so that he could move to do so, she let them fall back to her sides. She knew that the closer to let him to the level of intimacy that they were approaching, it would become much harder to say no if she could even put a coherent thought together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John helped her out of her night trousers, taking her underwear along as well. With her laying on the bed for him, sprawled out and naked, all he could do for that moment was to look at her, a beautiful wife with a heavenly body. Her curly mound of tawny wet hair was inviting, but he forced himself to stay away from that for the time being. He licked his lips, thinking that he\u2019d get her used to be naked with him for a little bit first, and then started to kiss her on her lips again, deepening the kiss as he reached yet again for her glorious breast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely arched her back as she tried to keep her mind with John but it felt as if she was going to explode. Her pants were soft and quiet but each time he squeezed her breast, her hands struggled to find some place for them but they just could not stay still long in any one location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He started to kiss his way down again, her jawline, her neck, her chest… he lingered once again at her breasts and nipples, while he started to run a finger up and down her inner thigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She felt so full, and so lost. There was a yearning inside for her to move, to stay, to do something and do nothing all at once. Instead, she buried her hands in his hair and tried to enjoy the sensations as consciously as she could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid…\u201d John said in a soft voice as he put his hand over her wet pussy, his fingers getting slightly tangled in the moist hair. He didn\u2019t do anything but cover her center with his large hand and continued worshipping her nipple with his lips and tongue. Allowing her to get used to the sensation of his hand down there, he could feel how her skin started to burn. He was sure she was enjoying herself, and hoped that he wouldn\u2019t do anything against her will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at her face, he saw that she had her eyes closed, a beautiful red color had started to show on her cheeks. \u201cHow does that feel?\u201d He managed to say, and all he got in return were some garbled noises. \u201cWant me to stop?\u201d Aracely violently shook her head with a grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John moved his hand from her core, resulting in a whimper from his beautiful wife, and started to treat her pleasure center the same way he had done with her nipples, playfully brush over it with his thumb, causing Aracely to moan and convulse in pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He could tell she was getting close, and he knew that women were able to climax several times in a row and that with her being a virgin the penetration could hurt. Right there and then he decided to give her the pleasure of coming down from an orgasmic high first, before he\u2019d gently try to do his best not to hurt her while loving her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prince kept brushing her pleasure mound and started to suckle on her nipple while flicking his tongue against it for good measure. It didn\u2019t take long before Aracely\u2019s breathing to grow unsteady, before her moans turned into pleasurable whimpers and soft cries as her smaller hands held onto his shoulders tightly. \u201cGive into the feelings, my love.\u201d He said softly which was followed by her nails digging into his shoulders, her center arching into his hand and her whole body tensing up before the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She looked beautiful when she climaxed, crying out his name repeatedly as if it was some sort of hymn, the look on her face driving him mad while he tried hard to keep himself together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John crawled up to her and took her in his arms as she basked in post-orgasmic heaven. He softly caressed her hair and waited for her to speak up, to be coherent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely thought she had died and had ended up in the heavens. There was no pain, only pleasure, and she had been feeling it build up in her body ever since she trusted John not to hurt her. Thus far, the old wives tale of it hurting the first time, wasn\u2019t true. When John took her in his strong arms, she could not help but smile at him goofily. She was unable to speak then, but her husband was taking care of her now, making sure that she wouldn\u2019t lose her head in the clouds forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAm I in heaven?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John chuckled and shook his head. \u201cNo, you\u2019re in your bed, with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think I am in heaven, or several heavens… I did not believe you when you said that would happen,\u201d she breathed out as she tried to focus her eyes on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reached for the fruit platter and took a piece of melon for her to chew on. He gently put it in her mouth and smiled. \u201cChew and swallow that, my beautiful wife, you will come back to me soon enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely had no hunger of yet but accepted the fruit. The sweet juice coated her lips as she swallowed it, forcing her tongue to dart out to catch it before it would drip to her chin. Still, she had no need because John\u2019s eyes had been on her through every bite she made and leaned in to lap the nectar before covering her mouth in a lover\u2019s kiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When John was certain that Aracely had recovered from her climax, he started to caress her center again, making sure that his fingers wouldn\u2019t get tangled in the hair there, as it was a sensitive area. He was glad to find out that she was still wet as well as hot down there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely looked at him with eyes wide in surprise and gasped when he accidentally rubbed her sensitive spot again. \u201cJohn?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI promise, I will try to make this as painless as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRelax…\u201d He said, removing his hand from her center and kissed her before he got to his knees and started to remove his trousers, revealing a fully erect and eager to get a release cock as he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely\u2019s eyes grew as large as saucers. She had seen the male reproductive organ before, while the little boys in her village would run around naked over the town square during a hot summer night, but she had never thought they would turn out to be so – big. She was certain that John would not fit inside of her. \u201cImpossible…\u201d she managed to say, which resulted in a heart-warming chuckle from her lover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John got back on his knees as he placed himself between Aracely\u2019s legs and he moved towards her to kiss her tenderly, placing his hand back on her delicate softness. Aracely moaned as John pressed his hand down, she was unable to understand how eager her body was for his touch, for his kiss and for his undivided attention after such a short period had passed since she had came down from heaven. John was easily sending her back there now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He gently broke off the kiss and looked down on her as he yet again removed his hand from her hotness. \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid, this might feel a bit awkward and I will not blame you for stopping me.\u201d He said as calm and reassuring as he could while the fire inside his body kept raging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had Aracely been one of his adventures, he would have been done within ten minutes of her arrival because he simply wouldn\u2019t care about her<\/em> but only for his own release. He took pleasure in pleasuring Aracely, and his own patience surprised him greatly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She nodded for an answer, and he kept an eye on her as he softly started to push a finger inside of her, causing Aracely\u2019s eyes yet again to become saucers. He made sure that her opening would be wet at all times, and he even gently teased her by brushing his thumb over her sensitive spot, sending Aracely\u2019s arms trashing about again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When his finger wasn\u2019t meeting any resistance anymore, he inserted a second finger inside of her, causing Aracely to gasp loudly and moan in pleasure at the same time, instinctively arching her back towards his hand. John was sure that Aracely was yet again far removed from any coherent speech, but he decided to tell her what he was doing, knowing that she\u2019d understand. \u201cYou\u2019re too tight…\u201d Oh yes, dear God, you\u2019re tight! That\u2019s going to feel…. oh… Ronon in underwear.<\/em> He managed to stop himself from prematurely releasing himself, by just a second. His cock was dripping as if it had a runny nose. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not impossible for me to enter your body with my penis unless I make sure that there is enough room… Do you understand?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely moaned as she nodded, John\u2019s fingers inside of her felt weird at first, but the sensation of his very capable fingers stretching her felt good, she was sure this wasn\u2019t going to hurt. When John added a third finger he accidentally brushed her heat, she sat up and her eyes flew open, dark with lust and desire as she let out a loud moan that filled the entire chamber. \u201cGood grief!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John eased her back down with his free hand and revelled in the fact that his Princess was as sensitive as she was. He kissed her tenderly on her lips, and then decided to distract her by sucking on her nipple again as he decided to add a fourth finger to make sure she was stretched enough for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJohhhhnnnnn…\u201d she moaned as she arched her back again, impatience was shown on her face, she wanted to have another release bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When John was sure that the first part of the journey into her body would go smoothly, he removed his fingers from inside of her, causing Aracely to whimper again. He spread her legs a little more and bended her knees so that it would be easier for her as well. \u201cBreathe, my love.\u201d he told her as he started to push his cock inside of her, inch by inch, meeting resistance after a few gentle pushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John felt how Aracely\u2019s body tensed up, her face showed that she was in pain but she didn\u2019t say a word. \u201cBreathe,\u201d he said again, \u201cRelax, my sweet… I know it hurts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo much…\u201d she managed to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know…\u201d he actually felt sorry for her, but if he didn\u2019t do it now, they\u2019d stop at this very moment every time they\u2019d make love to each other. \u201cI know…\u201d he kept pushing in, and pulling out. He loved it that she was so tight, but he also knew that it was hurting her. \u201cIt won\u2019t hurt this much again, I promise… you\u2019re doing so well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a bit more of pushing, staying still, withdrawing and doing it all over again, he knew that Aracely was going to scream in agony if he pushed a bit further, but it had to be done. \u201cTake a deep breath, my love, this will<\/em> hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wanted him to stop. No, she wanted him to continue. What if he ruptured one of the veins down there? She\u2019d bleed to death! She wanted him to stop… continue… She swallowed hard and took a deep breath. She was brave, she could do this. Easily. She took another deep breath, she had survived season in her village with a broken leg and a wound in the other, nothing could hurt as much as that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John slowly removed his cock from her, before easing it back in, and when he met the resistance he was looking for, he continued to push through until it was gone. Aracely cried out a lot of obscenities, mainly directed to the cruel God who invented the woman\u2019s body like this as tears ran down her cheeks. \u201cBreathe…\u201d John reminded her and kissed her tears away when he was through. \u201cMy brave Aracely…\u201d he said as he caressed her hair. \u201cI promise, it won\u2019t hurt like that ever again.\u201d She\u2019s so tight… so tight… oh… I hurt her… so tight…<\/em> His thoughts were going fast, but he needed to make sure that she was okay before he would proceed to work on his own release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely\u2019s jaw quivered as she tried to keep herself together. Her eyes squeezed shut as she held her arms up at her sides. She had fisted her hands so tightly through the pain, her nails had broken the skin of her palm to spill a small amount of blood. She drew several deep breaths as she waited for the pain to subside. One thing the woman did know was that Vala had said it could be painful, for some it was not. Aracely knew now that she was not so fortunate and prayed that the next time, if there would be a next time, it would not be so difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening her eyes she found John looking down at her with deep concern. \u201cPlease, just a few moments longer,\u201d she said quietly. She needed just a little longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry, my love.\u201d John said. \u201cI\u2019ll give you all the time you need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a few minutes before the sharpness truly left her. Swallowing she smiled lightly up at him. \u201cAlright, I am alright,\u201d she said as she carefully went to rest her hands on his arms that were supporting his weight over her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John kissed her as he moved his hand between his cock and her sensitive spot, only to tease her with the sensation. He then started to thrust in and out of her, gently picking up the pace, knowing that he didn\u2019t need much to come to a climax, but he wanted her to feel good too. With his hand getting in the way, he placed it on one of her breasts and started to fondle it as he stopped kissing her to allow himself air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though John still hurt her, it didn\u2019t hurt as much as before, and she actually found it an other worldly experience, her husband\u2019s manhood inside of her. Despite the pain from the other moment, she was quick to lose herself in her husband\u2019s touch, moaning as the combined sensation of him thrusting into her and him playing with her breast filled her body with ecstasy. \u201cOh lord… Johhnnnn!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Aracely arching her back, pushing herself deeper onto his cock, and reaching a climax for the second time, he couldn\u2019t help but follow her suit, and coming hard and fast. \u201c<i>Fadge<\/i>,\u201d he groaned as he released himself into her, his face falling into the crook of her neck as he collapsed over her body. She felt so glorious, her body wrapped around him that he did not want to separate from her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely didn\u2019t even feel the weight of her husband on her, she felt as if she had flown higher than the heavens, and loved the warmth of John spread out over her as if he were a blanket. Her hands fell to his body, her hands feeling the sweat across his skin. \u201cMy Lord,\u201d she let out with a sigh of pleasure as she slowly came back to herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John groaned as he pulled himself away from Aracely and rolled off of her before taking her in his arms and pulling the covers over them. He had never come so hard before, and he certainly never had such a high before either. \u201cHow are you feeling?\u201d He asked her softly as he nuzzled Aracely\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel…as if I will be feeling very sore the coming days,\u201d she smiled sleepily. While yes it hurt painfully, Aracely knew the pleasure was well worth that pain. She had rested her head on John\u2019s shoulder as he had pulled her to him and opened her eyes to take him in. Catching her eyes, she had taken notice of a pitcher of water on the bedside that she did not recall being there before. \u201cWhen…?\u201d she asked lifting her head and pointed at the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John thought for a second. \u201cWhen you were recovering from the pain I had to cause you.\u201d He softly kissed her. \u201cSorry for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do not remember hearing anyone enter,\u201d she murmured. \u201cWould you please?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John reached for the pitcher and poured some water in to the two mugs. \u201cThe maidens and servants are very discreet and quiet if they have to be.\u201d He replied as he helped Aracely to sit up before handing her water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHmm,\u201d she hummed as she sipped the water greedily. \u201cI am so parched!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He got himself some water too. \u201cI can imagine,\u201d He replied, \u201cSo am I.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John heard the door open and looked at Teyla\u2019s amused face. \u201cGlad to see you awake, your Highness’. I am wondering if you would keep an eye on the proceedings of the servants as they transfer your Father from his bed into his coffin, so that he can be transferred to the main hall for the Royal Court to pay their respects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sighing, John nodded and kissed Aracely. \u201cGet some rest, my love. I will return shortly.\u201d He said as he got out of bed and started to look for his clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teyla had lowered her gaze away as he hurried about to dress himself before giving his bride one last kiss and leaving. Aracely looked to the woman who still had that smile on her lips. Pulling the covers up to cover herself more, she flushed from embarrassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan I get you anything, Aracely?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPerhaps some dignity?\u201d she asked innocently. \u201cI am only just realizing what everything truly appears.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teyla frowned and turned her back towards Aracely. \u201cIs this better?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou were just fine Miss Teyla. I simply meant that I realized that the Prince and I – were not alone all that time,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou were, for the most part.\u201d Teyla turned around again. \u201cI am sorry, I told Katie that she had to bring you some water, I did not realize you are not used to the maidens walking in and out of the room during… happy times.\u201d She smiled warmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely pushed her hair back behind her ear and looked pained. \u201cBefore this even I had never experienced these – happy times,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh dear child, are you alright?\u201d Teyla asked worriedly, knowing that John could be rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will be I believe. The Prince seemed to be concerned for my experience and I did wish to please him as he had given me. I did not expect him to be so…\u201d she trailed off unable to find the words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCareless?\u201d Teyla offered, \u201cRough? He usually treats women with respect, I just wished he did the same behind closed doors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely looked up at her full of fear and shock. \u201cHe was not rough with me. He offered to stop many times over…You mean he has been -\u201d She cut herself off as she tried not to imagine John being so aggressive with anyone but the thought made her feel ill deep inside. \u201cOh my!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am glad to hear John was patient with you, and gentle.\u201d Teyla smiled. \u201cYes, John often mistreated his adventures in the past, but then again, I don\u2019t think he really cared about what he was doing to the girl, only to get his own release out of whatever emotion he felt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swallowing hard, she could not help but be fearful that he might use her as a vessel for his frustrations as her new friend described. If his being gentle this even hurt that greatly, what would that be for her body then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJohn seems to truly care for you, and I am glad that he does. I am sure you will be treated with the same gentility as today.\u201d Teyla bowed her head slightly. \u201cI can already tell that you have a good influence on him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you,\u201d she smiled still uncertain. \u201cHow is everything progressing? Gabriella settling in well? I did not wish to disturb her early this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are showing Gabriella around, making sure she knows every fast route through out the castle and every place she needs to know to be of service of you.\u201d Teyla smiled. \u201cSo far, she\u2019s doing alright, she\u2019s a quick study. As for the Royal chambers, we cannot do anything with it until the King is transferred out to the main hall today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely nodded. \u201cI suspect that Prince John will be in no hurry to move into his father\u2019s room,\u201d she shared. \u201cHe does not need to speak those words for me to feel them as I watched him at his side last evening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrince John absolutely hates the Royal Chambers.\u201d Teyla chuckled. \u201cIt is that his Father slept there, otherwise he would not have gone in to it. I believe he got frightened by something as a young boy, and ever since then he hates it. Before John wants to trade his own chambers for the Royal Chambers, we need to refurbish. And even then, John can decide he wants to keep his own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She could not help but wonder what could be curious as to what John would say to that and considered asking him after events settled. \u201cIs there anything that I can assist with?\u201d she asked as she shifted over to the side of the large bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, I don\u2019t think so Princess.\u201d Teyla answered and looked at the clothes Gabriella had given to her to hand to the Princess. Making a face, she said; \u201cWe could visit tailor Cadman for a wardrobe fitting?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aracely stretched her neck to see what dress she held. \u201cIs there something wrong with what garments I had brought with us?\u201d she asked, actually fond of that particular one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course not, but surely, you\u2019d like more clothes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I must but I am sure that the fabrics could be used for someone in more need than I?\u201d she asked. \u201cI understand that there are more formal garments that I would be expected to wear but for routine days can we not save the finer items?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teyla sighed and nodded. \u201cAs you wish, if you\u2019d like, I\u2019ll leave you so you could dress properly. Would you like a bath first? I have maidens standing by to refresh your bed, we hadn\u2019t expected that John would sleep here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A bath sounds lovely,” Aracely smiled gratefully. She crawled off the bed fully, keeping the bed sheet wrapped around herself. “And you do not need to leave. You have been nothing but a pleasure to me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teyla bowed gracefully. “I shall get the maidens in to run you your bath.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She nodded and ran a hand over her face before her fingers got tangled in her hair. Reaching up she made a face as she came to a realization as to how she must have appeared. What a sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
