Chapter 29

Rowan Knelt in front of Xavier and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her heart hammering and tears blinding her. She hadn’t thought he would do this, hadn’t even thought of it herself. It was so out of the blue that she was taken aback slightly and couldn’t answer him straight away. Thought she might have even been hearing things if she was honest. Had he really just asked her to marry him?

“Is this a yes?” Xavier asked, holding her waist.

“Yes.” She said before kissing him.

Her wings came out and wrapped around them. Their clothes disintegrated as the earth dropped away from them. Xavier held her like she was the most precious thing in the world to him and she loved it, loved him. Her heart felt like it was going to explode. Her head fell back and she laughed with pure joy.

“I love you so much Rowan.” He said against her neck, his lips leaving butterfly kisses between words.

She wrapped her legs around him, and he wasted no time in cupping her bottom and entering her.   They groaned in unison, they were one.

She brought her lips to his, tongues danced in time with their bodies. His strokes where slow, long, languid as he drove incredibly deep and pulled almost all the way out. She wanted to be closer still couldn’t get enough of him. He drove them higher as he held her hard against him, buried completely and moved his his in a circle, igniting another sensation within her, drawing her higher before wrapped his arm around her waist and stilling his movements. She was so desperate for him to move, she almost cried out from the pain of it, instead broke the kiss and bit his bottom lip drawing blood, his blood seeped into her, driving her almost mindless with need. He groaned into her mouth and thrust one finger into her bottom, as he moved his hips against her throbbing core, the tiniest of movements that she felt in every nerve she possessed. The pressure of his finger causing her to cling to him, as her whole body vibrated with pulsating need.

His groan almost succeeding in tipping her over the edge, she was approaching. Her body started to shake uncontrollably as he brought her to new heights. The unusual feeling of his finger, the slight movement of his hips grinding and his kisses filled with blood, she had never felt anything like it. It was the most sensual feeling she could imagine. She felt completely possessed by him, and wouldn’t have it any other way.

It was only after the mind blowing orgasm she noticed they were no longer on solid ground. They were floating in midair. Her entire body tingled.

“Oh My God” she said. Looking down before resting her head against his chest.

“Hmmm.” He groaned, dropping a kiss on her forehead before resting his chin on her head.

“Um Xavier. Do you think you could put us down now?”

“This is all you baby, I don't have that power.” He said kissing her again. “I don't know what you did, but that was the most incredible sensation I’ve ever had.”He kissed her nose before looking into her eyes. “Any idea how we get down.”

 “Not a friging clue.” She said, noticing blood dripping down his chin. She licked it from him, “You taste so good.” She groaned, as his blood coated her tongue igniting her desire again.

“If you keep that up, we’ll never get down.” His eyes sparkled at her, as he tightened his hold on her, showing her exactly what he meant.

“mmm” she groaned, feeling his erection growing inside her again. “What else are you going to show me?”

Before he had time to answer her, her teeth came down and she sank them into his neck, drinking him in, as he drove them into oblivion. Sparks flew, lights danced, air swirling as he sank his teeth into her and they truly became one. They experienced the same feelings the same sensations and their bodies reached orgasm together. She felt herself leave her body, as their souls intertwined, taking this to a whole new level of love, the sensations that she felt had no words to describe it.

When she came back to herself they were lying on the floor, their bodies as tangled as their souls had been. Her head  resting on his chest as he drew lazy circles on her back. Both of their breathing was ragged, she smiled. That was the most amazing thing she had ever felt and she wondered if it would ever be as good again or if that was it. If it was she wouldn’t complain because she sure didn’t think that was normal, not everyone got to feel what she had.

“You passed out baby. Are you ok?” he asked, a slight hint of worry in his voice.

“Never better, but I don't think I can move.” She giggled; feeling like her whole body was a mass of wobbly jelly, completely boneless.

“you don't need to baby, not for what I have planned for you..” He said rolling her over and kissing her again.

Her legs wrapped around his waist. She grabbed him as his kisses grew in intensity. He was insatiable and she shivered, loving every minute of it. His weight kept her grounded as his hips lay against her.

“I can't believe you can go again?” she giggled, when he let her breathe. Raining kisses over her cheeks.

“I never got to sample the rest of you, Princess. I can't have any part of you feeling neglected, now can I?” he said between kisses.

“Hmmm,” was all she could say. She had no idea how he found the energy to move because she couldn’t, even if her life depended on it. She was barely able to focus anymore, as he rained kissed all over her. Making her already sensitive skin scream for his attention. He moved down het body, kissing and licking every inch of her, branding her as his. Every inch of her loved this Prince, her Prince. He was going to be hers forever. She felt her lips curve up. Xavier was stroking her stomach with his finger tips, but it was when he dragged them to her side that she jerked and giggled.

“You’re ticklish?” he laughed with her, doing the same again to the other side. Causing her to erupt in full laughter. “I love the sound of you laugh.” He growled crawling up her body to kiss her again.

“Don't you have something to tell me baby?” He asked, looking into her eyes with such love in his gaze, that she felt her heart flip and her breath catch.

He stroked her hair from her face and kissed her nose.

She couldn’t speak, wasn’t able to think past the look he’d given her. The look that had melted her heart, If she hadn’t been sure how much she meant to him, it was evident in that look.

“Not sure what I'm asking you, are you baby. It's probably too soon for you to know.” He said brushing his lips over hers, a whisper of breath caressing her.

“There they are.” A booming voice broke into her foggy brain.

“Jesus, He’s raping our Princess, get him off her and beat him, but don't kill him.” The voice boomed again.

Xavier’s eyes captured hers, they flare bright red, he was angry, his body tensed protectively over hers, before he collapsed on top of her, his weight pressing her into the floor.

Air rushed around her, cold and not just in temperature. Xavier was being dragged away, he didn’t fight it. Why wasn’t he fighting it. On his knees, his head hung down, flopping as he was held up by his arms.

She didn’t have any energy left, nothing to stop these men with. She could barely move her head to watch them.

“Cover her up and get her home.” The voice boomed again, she wasn’t sure she recognised the voice. He brain was completely scrambled; all she wanted to do was curl up beside Xavier and sleep in his arms.

“Please.” She managed to say.

“Don't worry Princess, we have you, you’re safe now.”

She felt the warmth wrap around her as she was picked up and carried. Xavier was being brutally beaten, his face was bleeding profusely and spectacular welts were appearing over his chest. His head still flopping uncontrollably every time they struck him.

She gasped before everything went white.

“Oh my goodness, what happened to her? Yes yes, put her in the bed, I will have the medicians attend her.” Shae said.

“No.” She rasped. “Xavier.”

“Don't worry about him my dear, he will be dealt with.” Shae voice was hard and harsh to her ears.

“Please, mother.” Good god, why couldn’t she speak, why wouldn’t her brain focus and put together a blood sentence that made sense. Xavier was in trouble, he needed help.

“Don't you worry about anything Ro, just rest, you’ve been hurt.” Shae said stroking her face.

“I'm ok.”

“I'm afraid you’re not baby, but you will be, I’ll make sure of it.” Shea started crying.

“Whats wro.”

“I need to leave you for a while baby, and check on your father, but I’ll be back soon ok, you just rest honey.”

What was going on. Why was her mother checking on her father? Why wasn’t her father here for her? Nothing made any sense. The medicians came in and injected her with something, she fought the blackness but it kept creeping in, the edges of her vision going grey, she was going to pass out. Shit.

Xavier came awake, as water hit him in the face. He gritted his teeth against the sting it created. He tried to move but was chained to a wall by his wrists; his feet dangling off the ground.

Shit, what had happened? Had Rowan done this, was she paying him back for leaving her?

No, it couldn’t be, he had felt her love for him, there was no malice in her. So why was he chained.

His wrist protested against the weight they were holding up. Pain shot down his arms as he pulled himself up, but wouldn’t be able to hold it for too long. He needed to get out of this before his wrists were separated from his arms.

“You are a disgusting bastard, I'm going to enjoy teaching you a lesson.”

Xavier focused on the guy standing in front of him. A huge grossly disfigured man with a whip was standing with a grin on his face.

“Where am I? And why am I chained?” He asked, his voice horse, his body weak from the earlier love making with Rowan.  “Do you know who I am?”

“Oh, I know who you are.” The guy spat at him. “And it wont save you, not after what you have done.”

“What have I done to deserve this?”

“Treason and rape. You’re lucky the Queen wants you alive just now. I don't think you should be allowed to breathe.”

Xavier froze, rape! He hadn’t raped anyone. And treason, what the fuck did that mean?”

“You have the wrong man. Let me down now and you may live to see tomorrow.” He ground out between clenched teeth as he felt his wrists tear open more.

“Not bloody likely, we have you accomplice and we caught you red handed defiling the Princess. You’re going to die, and die very painfully.” The guy laughed.

 Xavier looked around, Storm was chained to the wall not far from him. Her head hung forward, as she dangled by her wrists as well.

What the hell had happened?
