#8 Lust

The silence was beginning to annoy me, it was better when they were talking about me, "Well, please don't let me stop your chatter on how unfit I am to be the Queen.
Please go on", I pleaded. Since they took it upon themselves to hate me already, I'll give them an actual reason to hate me. To be honest, part of the reason why I was acting like a complete vagabond was that I was mad at Matt.
Although I was very sure my attitude towards the other elites will not upset or affect him in any way, I still had a spec of hope in me that he'd hear about today's meeting and come back home.

Two weeks later...
Lilly thought it had been two whole weeks since Matt left with no explanation. He left her confused and perplexed as she did not understand what happened that night.
Was it possible for him to just switch moods in a matter of seconds? These were all questions running through Lilly's puzzled mind. She had been in a very sour mood since the alpha king left, leaving only her newfound friend, who was the maid to comfort her.
Lilly did not ponder on this for too long for she had issues of her own, she was growing weaker, and as much as it pained her to admit it, she knew it was because of the absence of her choice.
His side of the bed was cold as it had been empty for days, his scent only lingering faintly but she chose to savor it. She knew everybody who lived on castle lands had noticed her unusual mood but none of them dared to ask her.
Whatever happened with the Royal couple was simply none of their business, and they on the other hand did not want to risk spending eternity in the confinements of a dungeon cell.

Now, as Lilly sat in the throne room, legs crossed over the other and champagne in her hand, she assumed the alpha was gone for good. could not be gone for good, she laughed at her initial thoughts,
Giovanni how could the king of the lycanthropes drop his position? It sounded so absurd. She sat with five empty bottles of beer, and three of champagne. Yes, she was attempting to get herself drunk, but, who was she kidding?
Drinking all this was like a human drinking juice. This could not get her as drunk as she wanted to be, she wanted to forget her problems.
After a while…
"The Alpha King has arrived", the guard informed, Lilly's head went into overdrive as her body responded immediately by jerking her off the throne. "Where is he?", she asked quickly, adrenaline was pulsing through her veins as she could sense his presence.
In his chamber the maid replied, Lilly, rushed to his chamber.

When she got to his chamber she began her unrehearsed confrontation, "How could you?", she banged her fists on the table making him stand up, "How dare you lead me like that for two whole weeks with no explanation, no note, nothing!
You can't just act cool one second then change to a complete dick the next, thinking I would be cool with it, do you take me for a fool? You know I need you to live and you left me, I craved your touch for days and you were not here,
I needed you here but you weren't, for two whole weeks Matt, two fucking weeks! You don't leave someone you claim to like for two weeks, It’s not practical", she was done rambling when she noticed his silence, "Say something", she screamed at him, "Do something!", she yelled again.
He crossed his arms over his chest, "What do you want me to say or do?", he asked her, "Tell me you would never leave like that again or kiss me you idiot",
she yelled at him, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. The alpha king growled, not angrily but with lust.

'Kiss me' was all his mind could register and he did not hesitate to walk over to her and pull her to him, placing his lips on hers. The kiss was magical as their lips moved in sync with the desperation and urgency. The kiss reminded her of when they first kissed,
they had both wanted this for a long time and they had finally gotten it, she had asked him and he had made the first move to act on it. As she meshed lips with him, she realized she had not expected it to go this way but she was glad it did, although he was not completely forgiven,
she chose to forget about his flaws at this moment. He pulled away for air and kissed her head, "I promise, I would never leave you again". He kissed me. It felt magical, as cliche as that sounds, he kissed me. Was I surprised by this? Completely.

Until today, she had never considered losing my virginity. As she lay awake in Matt's arms, I imagined what it would be like to go there with him.
Just thinking about this made my legs tighten and my stomach churn.
"Whatever you're thinking about, stop thinking about it," Matt said, opening his eyes and removing his arms from my shoulders. "What if I was thinking about you?", she asked him, placing his arm on my waist, dangerously close to my butt,
"Damn, Lilly", he groaned, turning away from me, his hands still placed on my waist as his body twisted in an awkward position. I playfully removed his arms and climbed on his back, "Are you serious?", he asked her with humor laced in his voice.
I started to rock back and forth, fully aware that her butt was pressed into him. Before I knew it, I was squealing as he switched our positions. He was now on top of me, using his elbows to support his weight in order not to crush her small frame.
He was looking deep into my eyes with his brown irises and I felt like they were invading my soul, knowing all my secrets and accepting them.
