To Love, Once Again

Lucien seems to slowly wake up from his stupor when Sera helps him take off his clothes and bandage him up.

The clothes he'd worn were rags now, too stained with blood and cuts to be of any use.

There was a problem though. With his shirt off and his belt unbuckled, it was clear as day what kind of condition he was in. His body was ready for a different kind of battle.

It wouldn't have been such a big deal if Sera wasn't too close to him. But as the situation was, she was almost plastered to his side. He'd never let go of her hand the whole time she'd tended to him.

Also her hip was glued to his, like siamese twins.

It took a lot of maneuvering for her to get him somewhat cleaned up and bandaged with only one hand and being glued to his side.

Her current task was to make him drink some herbs that would help with the poison.

"Please Lucien, just chew on these leaves" she begged as she held two leaves to Lucien's tightly closed mouth.

It was a matter of life and death. Sera needed to get him to take the medicine. The medicine would help neutralize whatever poison had entered Lucien's body from Dorne's blood....If he would only open his mouth.

"Please!"

Lucien mumbles something under his breath.

She leans in, trying to make out what he said.

"Give me a kiss" he mumbled again, eyes down on the ground. Sera couldn't believe he was bartering for a kiss with her, using his own life as payment.

Throwing her hands up in the air, she grabs his cheeks, getting ready to give him a big, childish smack on the lips. She didn't want to waste time arguing with him.

One peck. Like a child would give their parent.

"There, now please-"

Both hands cup her face, and he presses a light kiss to her forehead.

"Thank you" he says, as their eyes lock.

He leans his forehead against hers.

"You can thank me once you take the neutralizer."
Sera responds, trying to keep the mood light.

"No, thank you for watching. Standing there. I know....how hard the violence that's common here can be for you."

Sera's at loss for words, unsure of how to respond...It was such a sweet thing to say. His words so different from the usual bluster, free from the anger and pain she could sense roiling in him. It wasn't something he would have said before. Before, he'd tried his best to make her understand that this was the way things were in Thornmere. It had been hard for him to comprehend how differently Sera's mind was wired compared to those who lived in this strange world. Lucien had grown during their time spent apart.

"I'm proud to have you as my Queen."

His thumb brushes over her lips. Stroking each nerve end that sparks to life, making Sera's heart throb erratically.

That utterly confused her. She was his former Queen. Sera was his maid. Questions circle around her mind like a flock of birds that take flight, and she was lost.

"Wha-"

Sera feels a large hand cupping the back of her neck. He swallows her words and kisses her, hard.

Pressing her lips firmly together as to prevent his entry, Sera tries to make him release her by tapping on his chest. He had a big hole in his shoulder she'd just cleaned and bandaged, and she wasn't willing to agitate it.

Lucien ignores her taps, sucking at her plump lips, and nipping at them for her to open up. He keeps licking and sucking, her lips starting to feel sensitive, in a delicious way, under his onslaught.

She steps backwards, and he follows, until her back is bending over the edge of the table where she'd laid her doctor's bag. Sera gasps, and Lucien takes the window of opportunity she'd inadvertently given him.

Lucien enjoyed chasing after her tongue with his. He thrusts in and out of her mouth with his thick tongue, a pantomime of what he wanted to be doing to her body.

He groans, swept away by the euphoria of her taste, the way her mouth is so warm and wet, her tongue, slowly starting to respond and return his caresses.

His hands are in her hair, stroking her neck, making goosebumps run down her spine.

Between kisses, Lucien groans against her lips.

"I'd"

Another long kiss.

"Promised to make..."

Sera moans as his hand runs down her neck, over her breast, down. Pulling up her skirts, so her naked legs are bared to him.

"...you forget.."

Deftly, he unbuttons the back of her dress.

"....A world with only the two of us"

Her dress falls to hang around her waist, and Lucien leans down, kissing her elegant neck and fondling her body. Lucien kisses each mark he'd left before, on her breast, the skin smoother than whipped cream, juicy like a peach.

Sera pushes at his pants. Her body was hot. She needed him, wanted Lucien to fill her up. With his belt unbuckled, it was easy to release his hot brand.

She wanted him to take her now, against the table. They both urgently needed each other, desire too great to make it to the nearby bed in Lucien's room.

Lucien gives a heavy sigh when he enters her. This was perfection. He felt like he was going crazy, within her tight grip.

He didn't know if he wanted to withdraw from her so her could ram himself in, or stay inside of her, in her rippling wet warmth.

Slowly he starts moving, speeding up faster and faster as Sera tilts her hips to meet his. Sera doesn't know the power she holds over Lucien. Her reactions were every bit those of an innocent, lewd temptress. Gasping as Lucien plundered her depths, her eyes widening, drowning in pleasure.

The tabletop where Sera's placed her hands to keep herself upright shakes as the various bottles she'd taken out of her bag and set on the table rattle against each other.

"Your eyes are magic"

Lucien growls out, kissing her lids.

"Shining gold, drawing me in" his hair falls over his shoulder, and Sera breathes in his wonderful fresh tea-like scent.

Tracing a finger over her lips.

"These delicious lips" he licks them.

"This soft body" he squeezes his hands where they're placed on her hips.

"Your beautiful mind" his hot lips burn her forehead, and Sera moans, wrapping her legs around his hips. She looked like a beautiful woodland nymph, her shining body and long chestnut hair that fans around her body like silk.

"I want it all" he growls.

Sera clenches around him as the sensations overwhelmed her mind. Lucien's body heated up, and he lets himself go, climaxing. She bit his good shoulder as she followed after him.

As she slowly felt herself falling from her high, Sera was shocked to feel him growing big inside of her again. He was supposed to be injured! How was he this energetic.

She focuses her blurry gaze on his shoulder. It was bleeding! Pressing a hand against his shoulder, she makes Lucien's blue gaze meet hers.

"We need to bandage your wound" Sera tells him.

"No" he thrusts hard inside her again.

"Lucien!"

"I said no. Right now, this moment is reserved for us alone. We celebrate the victory."

This brought home the awareness in Sera that Lucien was a savage warrior. He'd won a violent challenge, protecting the honor of the women Dorne had wronged, and affirmed his right to the throne.

He was taking her after completely destroying his opponent.

In a deep, buried part of Sera, which she didn't want to acknowledge, she found it hot. Her education was screaming at her to not accept the brutality of this world....Maybe it was the primal instincts within her that wanted to be won by its mate. This warrior god wanted her. Sera, a former college student, who had nothing to offer.

It was in this world, where blood and power reigned supreme, that Lucien ruled. The best of the best, the most powerful man was letting his desire for her completely consume him.

He tweaks her nipple, which distracts Sera.

"I know my own body. It will heal..Now is the time to do what every King does after a victory, and take his woman." His hand squeezed her buttocks.

Lucien lifts one of her legs over his good shoulder, completely exposing her most private parts to him. His fingers grip her thigh and around her ankle, where it sits on his shoulder. Sera knew she would have finger marks on her butt later.

"We have years to make up for....the two of us.."
Lucien loses his words as he focuses on her pleasure, kissing her wildly.

They looked like mindless animals as he took her hard and fast. He conquered her mouth in time with his lower body that drilled into her.

".....just the two of us.."

Sera whispers between kisses. They were in their own small world, a pocket of limited time.

Sera's body spasmed around his again and again, her fingers clenching and unclenching on Lucien's arms as wave over wave of euphoria crashed into her. Lucien was fulfilling his promise. There was no other space in her mind for anything but him.

No matter how deeply they connected, no matter how much time he spent inside her, tonight was not going to be enough.
