Chapter 113 - A Queen and a King

Lestat POV.

I watched everyone leave the room after those revelations. I had to finish adjusting some details with my generals, but I also needed to spend time with Hope. After all, tomorrow was uncertain, and I don't even know if everyone is going to survive the way Hope is, even though we made a plan, I know she won't hold back for long to take action, even more with the curse under control.

"You know, I recognize that you're going to enter the battlefield very quickly, it's part of your nature, after all, you wanted to train a lot before you turned 5..." I spoke and approached her, as she closed the door.

"You always knew me very well." I heard her voice followed by a low chuckle.

"Is Erick going to give you back your karambit?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"Probably, but if not, I have a secondary plan." The woman turned to me and I ran my hand through her hair.

"I never understood why you always dyed your hair, its original color is wonderful," I said with a sigh.

"I don't like it. I prefer any other color..." Hope's mouth twitched and then I slid my hand to the snake tattoo, feeling some of the power it held.

"One day you left the castle, without telling anyone, and when you came back you had this snake tattooed on your face, but you never used its power." I cupped my hand around the curve of her cheek and watched Hope lean into my touch.

"It has a specific trigger... I can't just use it at my pleasure." Hope answered me and I touched her lips with my thumb.

"I see. Does that trigger have to do with the fights that will follow?" Although our conversation had a serious tone, our actions were relaxed, because I saw and felt her take my thumb and suck on it very lightly.

"I don't know... Maybe... As I said, it doesn't depend much on me." That woman answered me by releasing my finger.

"These vines, that are all over your body, are connected to this tattoo. It's very subtle, but I can feel the difference since I also control the roses." I saw her sigh and close her eyes. She didn't want to talk about it. "I know you have many secrets, my Queen... I know their power is great enough to cover up divine scars."

Hope tried to pull away, but I wrapped her around my waist, bringing her body against mine. If she wanted out, she'd have to fight me.

"No, Hope..." I whispered and lifted her chin. "I'm not going to push this issue, but just tell me we won't get a bad surprise in the middle of the battlefield."

"I can't promise that..." Hope looked straight at me and sighed.

"Hope... I gave myself to this relationship body and soul. I accepted who I never thought I would, and my Beast accepted the Angel... He destroyed half the castle when we learned of Fate's bond with Marcus." I spoke with passion. "You never directly asked me to do this, but I did it willingly because I love you."

"And you're trying to use this as blackmail to get me to tell you, my secrets?" I can feel her body tensing in my arms.

"No! God, no! But just like the others, I feel bad when you hide things... A part of me thinks we're not good enough to be here if even your darkest secrets you don't trust to share." The woman's body relaxed a little.

"I'm not good enough to have all of you... But I'm selfish and I can't give any of you up." Her arms wrap around my shoulders. "But I can't tell you everything... Even if I wanted to, I couldn't... And really about those tattoos, it's not just that I can't, I don't want to talk about it."

I sighed and squeezed her against me.

"I keep wondering what kind of Queen you're going to be," I whispered and nuzzled my face into the curve of her neck. "The kind that's always suspicious of everything and always has a backup plan in case something goes wrong."

"And is that going to be bad?" I heard the question followed by another chuckle.

"In parts yes... I trust those around me, and they know what I intend to do. No one would have the courage to betray me." I replied with a half-muffled voice.

"You're better than me." I felt her body relax completely and then I put my hands between her robe, opening it and feeling my hand getting warmer. It was always like this, after I marked her, touching her always left this little trail of warmth.

"I still have a lot to teach you." I grabbed her around the waist, pulling her up and felt as she wrapped her legs around my waist. "But we're going to have lots and lots of years to fight and then have reconciliation sex." I started to walk towards the only table there and sat her down.

"Like we did a few times?" Hope asked, biting my shoulder, harder than she normally would.

"You've always liked to challenge people, even though you say you care about hierarchy." I step back far enough, so she can see me. Her eyes are bright, and a half smile plays on her lips.

"But you always liked it when I challenged you." She lifted her chin a little more.

"I won't deny that's one of the things I love most about you," I commented and then took my hand to the middle of her sex, already knowing she was naked under the robe and penetrated her with two fingers, with no foreplay, I felt her muscles fight against me, and her low moan of pain made me grin. "Mostly because I can punish you."

I started to move my fingers in and out hard, starting to feel her get wet and my movements became easier, especially as I flexed them to scratch her inner walls and saw her eyes start to darken with pleasure.

"I love that look in your eyes... Watching your pupils dilate as I move inside you." I twirled my fingers inside her and the wet noise echoed low, it was the sound of my fingers against her body.

I smirked at the sight of her opening her lips and letting out a muted moan, holding my shoulders tightly, and tilting her back to make her breasts stick out more.

"You want me to pay attention to your breasts, don't you?" I asked rhetorically and saw her nod, I took my fingers out of her and brought them to my lips, licking.

"Ahhh..." I heard her groan in frustration and then her gaze became voracious as she followed my movements. "Lestat..." She called me, and I gave a low chuckle.

" That's my name, my Queen," I said controlled. After wiping all her taste from my fingers, I can feel the pressure of her fingers increase on my shoulder. I took both hands to her legs, more precisely to her thighs, lifted them and placed her feet resting on top, leaving her wide open. "I'll help myself first..."

I said and then I bent down and soon I'm facing her breast, her smell is always intoxicating and now it was even more so, because we all mark her in some way, so our smells mixed with hers, it was very subtle, but I can distinguish them.

I brought my face closer, pulling in the scent and then ran the tip of my tongue along the entrance, seeking some of the oozing nectar, yes, her taste had changed too.

"You got even more intense," I commented and with my right hand, I opened the big lips and exposed the little ball and gave it a lick and saw her shudder. "More sensitive too... Having sex with five different men made you that way, did it?"

The faint smell of blood caught my attention. Hope is probably biting her lip to keep from moaning out loud and I can see her muscles tensing.

"I bet if I called them over to watch you get fucked by me, you’re cum would come fast."

I continue teasing and close my lips blowing on her entrance, a cooler breath and she shudders.

"That excites you so much it's dripping out." Yes, her fluids now even stain the table. "And all I did was stick my fingers in for a brief moment. Are you going to cum when I bury myself deep?"

"Oh, damn!" I heard Hope's voice muffled, as she hiked her waist up slightly, trying to rub her sex against me, but I pulled away the same amount she had approached.

"Are you that desperate?" I asked wryly.

"Lick me, bite me, stick your fingers in me, eat me..." Hope begged in various ways for me to touch her and I laughed slowly. I love having that power over her, to leave her in that state without even really touching her.

"But then what fun would that be?" I put the tip of my tongue at her entrance, and I know she wants to rub herself, but Hope knows if she does that I'll pull away. But her body trembles in anticipation and I can feel her muscles trying to pull my tongue out. I make a circular motion, touching her entire circumference and pull away.

The smell of blood increases and her breathing is ragged, I know from older experiences that she is biting the back of her hand to keep from moaning loudly because she knows if she makes too many noises, I will torture her more. I smile satisfied for the moment.

"How about I call yours, Master? What do you think he'll say seeing you like this?" I asked and heard her let out a loud moan, shuddering, closing her legs involuntarily as her fluids came out in waves. Hope had just reached her first orgasm.

With that I picked her up hard and threw her against the floor, listening to her moan in pain as my clothes quickly disappeared through my body heat and I buried myself in her, hard.

"But now you're mine, only mine!" My monster and I spoke, and Hope shuddered again, writhing, squeezing and sucking me, with no control over the second orgasm that followed.

I had to control myself not to move, not before she came back enough to understand what was happening, I smiled in a voracious way and didn't measure the force much with each thrust, feeling it hit the bottom every time and watching it go up and down as our bodies met. Our moans and cries of pleasure mixed and echoed inside the room.

"Your..."

I heard those words come out of the female lips and I wanted to say that I could hold out longer, but that statement brought me to the highest point, I pulled her tighter against my body as I gave one last thrust. My mind almost blacked out from the pleasure, especially since I know Hope also reached orgasm at the same time.

After a few minutes I finally get off her, rolling to the side, I know her body has several purple spots. It wasn't every time I took her this way, so brutal.

"My Queen..." I spoke and felt her snuggle against me, my scent mingling with hers.

"My King." Her voice whispered against my ear and made me shudder.

I want her one more time, no, a few more times.
