Two days before the wedding, Kaya is lying in her bed staring up at the ceiling. Her untouched dinner was still on the dresser.
After the fight with Sabella, she'd hardly said a word to the woman. She didn't hate her, but she was entitled to her opinion. Instead, she chose to focus on mending her own emotional wounds and giving herself the space and time needed to heal before attempting any form of reconciliation.
There was a knock at the door and Kaya groaned inwardly. "Go away, Sabella."
The door opened and her companion poked his head in. "Sabella?"
"My new maid." Kaya sighs. "Close the door if you please."
He did ask she asked and stood there awkwardly, clearly not knowing what to do.
"How can I help you?"
He cocked his head. "Well, uh, your maid came to me and said that you were acting strangely." he glanced at the untouched meal. "Are you ok?"
Kaya let out a frustrated sound. "Why?"
"Kaya."
She turned toward him and sighed. Kaya sat up and patted the spot beside her, hesitant at first he tried to protest but she said, "Please." and he nodded.
When he was comfortably situated Kaya wrapped her arms around her. "I'm just stressed with the upcoming wedding."
"Oh." he frowned slightly. "Why?"
"I don't want to marry him." she cries. "I mean, he is a stunning man..but he's not the one I want." Kaya wipes at her cheeks and stares down at the covers. "He's not the one..."
Her companion took her by the chin, lifting her face toward him. "Then who is?"
You.
Her breath caught in her throat as she stared into his stunning brown eyes that seemed they could see straight through her. Swallowing, she looked down, "I want...you."
Her companion cocked his head. "Me?"
"Yes." Kaya looked up at him. "You."
Then without thinking twice, she took him by the jaw and brought his face toward hers, pressing their mouths together. Her companion moaned with pleasure and pushed her onto her back, running his hands over her face and in her hair. Their bodies intertwined, their kisses deepened, and their hands explored each other's curves with increasing urgency. They lost themselves in a frenzy of desire, their passion igniting a fire that consumed them both.
Then her companion pushed away, gasping. "Are..Are you sure you want this?"
Kaya took in his pained expression. In another world maybe they could've been together, but not this one. Smiling, she drew him back down.
"I'm sure."
Kaya wasn't sure who started pulling clothes off first, but before she knew it she was down to her undergarments, while her companion kissed her on every patch of bare skin, occasionally drawing pleased moans from her. His hands explored her body with an increasing sense of urgency, leaving a trail of heated kisses and soft whispers in their wake. Time seemed to stand still as their desires mingled, their connection deepening with every breathless touch.
Breathless, she stared up at the shirtless elf leaning over her. "Can I ask you something?"
He licked his lips, giving a nod.
"What's your name?"
"Out of all the things you could possibly-" he started.
"Please."
He swallowed. "Nico. Nicholas."
Kaya smiled. "It's a beautiful name."
She then reached toward his midsection when his member was sticking up and hard. She squeezed it slightly, drawing a moan from him.
Great mother, I want to hear that again.
She could feel the warmth and pulsating sensation in her hand as she gently stroked his throbbing member. His moans grew louder, and she could sense his body tensing with pleasure, his breath becoming more ragged with each touch.
As she continued to stroke him, her own desire intensified. Thoughts of their shared pleasure consumed her mind, and she found herself yearning for more intimate connection with him. In that moment, nothing else mattered but the raw passion and connection they were experiencing together.
Nico leaned toward her and nibbled at her bottom lip. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."
"Why?"
"I'm trying to do the noble thing here and not take advantage of you." he growled in her ear, sending shivers up and down her spine.
Kaya pulled his pants down. "Stop being so fucking noble."
Nico's eyes flashed with desire and he grinned. "If you insist."
