The Cursed Tyrant and His Reluctant Queen

After dinner, we move to the sofa and continue talking from there.

My small actions seem to have an effect, but Ignis bears it all without losing control. His arms surround me, making me lean my head on his chest, but he doesn't try removing my clothes or touching me more.

He's more interested in hearing what I've been through than checking if my body still recognises him.

As a lady, how can I even think of making the first move? He's the one that has to initiate contact.

But it's frustrating. When is he going to wake up? We've been talking forever.

«Is this the King's personal room?» I inquire.

«Yes, it is. Here, discussions can't be heard, and interactions can't be seen. It's a safe room.»

«Oh, nice...»

And he brought me here just to listen to trivialities?

«If no one can hear or see, then we should take the chance to...» I start.

My words are interrupted by a sweet kiss.

«We can do that in my bedroom as well. Or in yours. But I prefer mine for tonight,» he says.

Are we talking about the same thing?

«Aren't you bothered by others hearing?»

«No, I'm not. Are you?»

«Not really.»

I don't know anyone from the Palace, and we're married. It's not like anyone would have any use hearing out sighs of pleasure.

«What are you talking about, Ignis?» I ask, just to be sure.

«Love,» he breathes.

His red ear pokes from his hair, barely visible. His face stays composed as if he wasn't concerned nor embarrassed.

«Then, let's go!» I exclaim. «You have to erase the last memory you left me! Come on, come on...»

I get up and pull him, but he resists and drags me back.

«You always hurry,» he complains. «Sit here and talk some more.»

«Talk about what?»

«About anything. I just want to hear your voice.»

He pecks my lips before retreating and settling comfortably on the couch.

«I missed you,» he says. «I want to look at you as much as possible. Tomorrow, I'll be too busy to come to visit you.»

«Even at night?»

«Yes,» he sighs.

«Oh, how odd... What could you possibly do at night?»

His eyes caress my neck and shoulders, stopping for a moment on the cleavage.

«Boring meetings,» he says.

«Boring? So, no alluring ladies will entertain my King?» I murmur, pouting my lips. «I don't need to worry, right?»

«The only lady allowed to entertain me is my lovely wife,» he chuckles.

«Is that so? Am I lovely?»

«Oh, yes,» he sighs, dragging me closer and pecking my cheek. He leaves a trail of kisses on my jaw, down on my neck.

Well, I guess I can trust him about this. He said he wouldn't have mistresses. A King has no reason to lie about something so trivial.

«If your lovely wife has to entertain you, you should show her how,» I continue.

To hell with ladylike manners. We won't reach the bed ever if I leave it to Ignis. He's content with just watching and listening to me!

«Because she might have forgotten in all the time she spent away from you, my King.»

«Call me by name,» he murmurs against my skin.

«Is it an order, your Majesty?» I inquire, pulling his hair. Oh, how soft! I've missed it.

«Take it as a plea.»

«Kings don't do that,» I chuckle. «Yours can either be orders or requests.»

He stops kissing me to look at my face.

«I don't want to order you around. It's not my intention.»

«Oh, good,» I purr. «Because it has never been mine to follow your orders. Not in bed, at least...»

Instead of putting me back in place or frowning annoyed, my words seem to please him more. He smiles, happy.

He's too weak. How can he let me act like this? I'll take advantage of his tenderness if he doesn't know how to react to my provocations!

What kind of tyrant would ever forgive such temper?

I grab his chin and force him to look into my eyes. His emeralds shine with happiness, and his hands are so gentle around my waist.

«Bring me to bed,» I order. «Undress me, and make love until I tell you to stop.»

It's stronger than me.

«Now, you dare order me around,» he notices, tilting his head. «How shall I react to this, ah?»

«The only thing you're allowed to choose is the order of those actions, your Majesty. But you'll have to fulfil all three of my desires.»

I lift my skirts just enough to straddle him, and I start unfastening his belt. I might as well begin with the fun part.

Until Ignis decides I'm being too naughty and prevents me from touching him again. Or he punishes me for giving orders.

It's worth losing my head, but I hope he's the one taking action, and this doesn't become a diplomatic incident. Since no complaint comes from his mouth, I guess he's agreeing to play this game.

«Ignis, you promised me,» I say. «You will tell me to stop if I do something you don't like, right?»

«Right,» he sighs. «And you will tell me if anything...»

«Oh, I'll tell you everything from beginning to end!» I exclaim, stopping his nagging. «I'll tell you what to do and what not to do. What I like and dislike. You just have to listen to me.»

He gulps, and his trousers tent up around his member. If I knew he likes it when I talk like this, I would have done it right from the start. We could have become lovers from night one.

«Now, now... Undressing can wait for later, right?» I say. «For after you bring me to bed. Right now, we can proceed with making love.»

He sighs, not knowing how to react to an assertive girl. After all, this isn't something one can witness too often.

I free his member from the clothes, and I stroke until it becomes harder.

«Not so fast, Veronica,» he murmurs. «Last time, you...»

«Don't talk about that,» I moan. «Don't remind me.»

I kiss his neck, using my free hand to unbutton his shirt.

His hands move on my back, caressing me through the clothes until one lands on my knee and slips higher.

Even if I don't want to hear about it, I still remember what happened last time. If I get hurt at the start, then we won't be able to make love for the whole night. I have to be careful this time.

Or I can let Ignis do it. He's always careful as if it was his way of being.

«You said I can choose the order,» he sighs.

He picks me up, passing his arms behind my knees and back, and he walks towards the second door.

«Open the door for me, will you?» he says.

I press the handle, and we cross into the room nearby. It's a bedroom with a huge canopy bed in the middle. Big enough for four. And for very, very tall people. It's twice a normal bed.

Oh, a King size bed? Wonderful! We can roll on here without falling down. I like it.

He lets me down slowly and is careful not to hurt me. As if bouncing on this soft mattress would hurt. Then, he sits next to me.

He undoes a few buttons of the dress, and I sigh while letting him undress me. He also gets rid of his clothes as they're not doing their bidding anymore.

I've uncovered his chest already, and his trousers hang from his hips but show his erection. He doesn't dare to put them back, lucky for him, so he just removes them.

Once naked, he kisses my lips and moves on my chest. I lie down and block his head with my hands. I make him look at me, and I lick my lips while observing his face.

«Not here,» I say. My voice is low because I'm actually embarrassed for what I'm doing. But Ignis is fine; he doesn't mind.

I push him down, spreading my legs for him.

«Here,» I say, and he pecks my thigh before sliding in between. His forefinger splits my lower lips, and he licks around the pleasure bud until I start panting.

My legs quiver, and my belly burns with electricity. As the pleasure builds up, I close my eyes and clench the sheets. Indeed, getting in bed first is a wise decision.

I'll praise Ignis for this later.

I arch my back and groan, ready to let loose when his mouth returns on the thigh. He kisses up on my belly button, moving to meet me and make love.

Too bad that I've changed my mind about letting him choose the order.

«Have I said you can stop?» I moan, pushing him down and folding a leg on his shoulder. «Not until I tell you.»

His face doesn't even show a trace of annoyance. He does as he's told and kisses my core again, this time using his fingers and making me moan in ecstasy.

I didn't know that ordering a King to pleasure me would feel so great.
