Valeria

In a room, in the royal palace, Oberon and I were performing our late-night activities. “Did you hear something Val?” Oberon who was laid down on our bed asked when I paused in the middle of exercising his legs.

I shook my head. “It’s nothing I just felt like someone was talking about me.” I continued exercising his legs.

“That’s not surprising, other than the events in the dining hall you are probably the most popular topic today.”

I would like to think it is because of my beauty but after what old steward Wes told us I doubt it.

I smiled apologetically at him. “Sorry, I know you didn’t want me drawing attention. I should have noticed people were close enough to see my scuffle with Sir Foltest.” I finished exercising his legs and stood close by.

Oberon laughed and sat up reaching out to me with his right hand. “It’s not your fault. Sir Foltest pushed us into a corner and besides, we were able to make it work in our favor.” I held his arm as he prepared to stand.

With great difficulty And trembling legs, Oberon stood up. I held onto him, and we paced around our considerably large room. Oberon looked determined as he took each step and when he could no longer take another he fell into my arms his face buried into my plentiful bosom which I am sure he aimed for on purpose.

He is improving! He may never make a full recovery but the time that he no longer needs a wheelchair is approaching. I know that it is a good thing, but I will miss taking care of him when the time comes.

“I’m almost there Val. I can feel it.” He said as I lifted him and took him to bed.

“I wonder. What will you do when I am no longer so reliant on you Val? I know you take some twisted pleasure in taking care of me.” He said teasingly as he removed his shoes and took off his shirt his doublet having already been removed beforehand.

Twisted pleasure!

I snorted slightly angry and kicked off my boots and began taking my clothes off as well. “I do not believe there will a time when you do not rely on me just because you’ll be able to walk. Walking does not mean you will be able to do everything yourself. You are still a pampered man who knows not how to make his tea, prepare his meals, dress accordingly-.”

Perhaps realizing I was going on a rant Oberon groaned and held up his hands in surrender. “Please Val I was just teasing you. You know that I will always need you. There is no Oberon without Valeria by his side.”

Appeased, I decided to stop listing his inadequacies and made my way to bed in my undergarments. I laid down next to him and rested my head on his chest as he hugged me with his right arm. “We did quite well today I think,” I said getting comfortable.

“Indeed. Unfortunately, we were not able to Approach Prince Bertrand and Princess Ludivine, but we will have the chance to acquaint ourselves with Princess Ludivine when we head out to Leonis. As for Prince Bertrand, I am at a loss on how to approach him, but I am sure the opportunity will present itself eventually. I am more than satisfied with our alliance with Lady Alexandria and her companions for the moment. What are your thoughts on them?” He said gently stroking and playing with my red hair.

“Alexandria seems to be a straightforward honest girl and I do not think it ambition that makes her want to take the throne but rather her duty because she knows Sylvain would be a terrible king. Sir Foltest is as you said a dangerous individual he is still wary of us, and I do not doubt will continue to push and test us, but I do not think he will turn on us without warning. Brigette is an interesting girl I thought her a mere tag along to Alexandria and Sir Foltest, but she has a strength to her, and I believe she will surprise us with how useful she is.” I finished speaking and ran my finger across Oberon's chest taking note of a particular long chest hair.

“I agree. I have high hopes for Lady Alexandria, and Sir Foltest will eventually warm up to us if for nothing else than to pester you to fight. Lady Brigette is indeed interesting, and I cannot help but feel a kinship to her.”

A kinship is it?

Without warning, I plucked out his long chest hair that stood out.

“Ouch! No need to be jealous Val. You will always be the only one for me.” Oberon grumbled rubbing his chest where I pulled his hair.

“I don’t know what you mean that long piece of hair just bothered me is all. Let us get back on topic. After the brilliant way you took control of the conversation with the old king when discussing how to deal with the Orion Kingdom have you figured out why he invited you here?”

He gave a soft laugh. “I had thought our activities went unnoticed, but it seems King William took notice of us and now wants to use us. I believe he wants to make me like steward Wes, a reliable and loyal servant that will serve whoever becomes his heir for the years to come.”

“An old fool then if he did not notice that we would serve no one,” I said lightly.

“Perhaps, but that doesn’t change the fact that we need his trust. I trust that you will be able to deal with anything unexpected in the mission to kidnap the Duke of Betelgeuse but try not to use your unique talents too much. Sir Foltest will be watching you and that Lady Sirena seems quite capable as a scout and spy so be cautious.”

“Of course,” I said snuggling closer to Oberon.

“Seems like the Kingdom is finally taking the Vigil syndicate seriously and they seem to be more knowledgeable now, it’s a shame that Sylvain's appearance ended the banquet early I wanted to hear more of what they knew. I wonder if people will believe Alexandria sent the assassin.” I said with a yawn.

“Some will choose to believe it simply because they side with Sylvain and will use it to condemn Lady Alexandria. Others will believe it because of her no doubt well-known dislike of Sylvain. But enough of that we will learn more of the assassination tomorrow I am sure, so let us get some rest.

I smirked and decided to tease Oberon. “Can you rest so easy with an assassin on the loose? I am sure others will be on guard all night. Perhaps we should be on guard and as well. I am sure we can find something to do to stay up all night if we wanted to.” I had brought my lips to his ear as my voice shrank to a seductive whisper.

I gazed at Oberon who was stoic when suddenly his hand lightning-quick slapped and grabbed my rear end. Since my body was sturdier than a normal person's he hurt his hand but managed to hide the pain. Before I could react he soon took my lips and our tongues clashed.

I only wanted to tease him, but I suppose I do not mind staying up all night.

I unhooked my bra still kissing Oberon. He helped take it off then pinched a pink nipple pulling and twisting the way I liked it. Panting and growing warmer I used one hand to bring down my panties the other grabbed his free hand and brought it to my wetness below. He teased tracing with his fingers lightly and then inserted a digit causing me to moan into his mouth. He worked me gently and I pulled away slightly from our kiss a line of saliva between us as I leaned my forehead on his. “Faster!” I panted erratically.

He obliged and soon I felt my climax coming as Oberon made a come-hither movement inside me causing me to shiver in anticipation. Then suddenly before I reached my climax he removed his finger with a wet Pop! and gave me a light kiss on the lips before grinning and laying down.

What!

“Well, I think that’s enough for today. You would have been insatiable and making love to you bruises me, we will have to get our affairs in order here before departing to Leonis on the morrow so let us get some rest.” He offered my bra back still grinning.

I glared at him not taking my bra back. “Are you serious!?” I hissed. “After all that you want to sleep!?”

He nodded solemnly at his pitched tent. “It is difficult for me as well Val, but I pride myself on my mental fortitude and restraint.”

I continued glaring debating whether I should take him by force anyway.

He dropped my bra realizing I was not going to take it back and pulled me down embracing me and spoke softly. “Sorry for taking it so far and not following through but we do need to rest. We will be busy tomorrow.”

I sighed. He is right we will be busy but that does not mean I cannot be upset that he pushed me so far.

I hugged him and wrapped my long legs around him pulling him closer and grabbed his hand taking his wet finger into my mouth looking into his eyes smiling and gazing sweetly with my sapphire-like blue eyes, I licked and sucked lovingly. “I want you to know that I will pay this back to you when you least expect it so every time we make love you will always have the lingering fear in the back of your mind that perhaps this is when she will make me pay.” My sweet rich velvety voice and submissive actions at odds with my words. I gave his finger one last long lick and finished with a bite that caused him to yelp. “Good night,” I said closing my eyes and squeezing him.

I heard Oberon gulp. “G-Good night.” He sounded scared as he should I thought, dozing off in his embrace.
