Kingdom

52. Truce (10)

His eyes widen. "Yes? Is that a yes?"

She nods again, mouthing the word yes, without making a sound.

The King beams, glowing in triumph. "You agree!"

Nori smiles and nods again. His childlike enthusiasm eases the tension that grabs on her throat.

"You can touch me." she says. "I want you to touch me."

His pupils dilate and his smile fades. Nori's body heats up just seeing his expression changing. She is certain that at one point her heart will give up and stop working or simply fly out of her chest and explode in the air. The thrill of this moment is incomparable to anything she has ever experienced. As if she is on top of a tower so high that it touches the clouds. And she stands right at the edge of that tower looking down.The fall will be deadly. She must not fall. She must jump and fly. Like the birds - catch the current, experience the moment and land safely. Do not fall.

The King drops to his knees in front of her, grabs the edge of her nightgown and moves it up her legs; then pulls down the big underpants she is wearing and throws them away. Nori watches him stunned in place, unable to move or speak or even feel a thing. She is so tense that it seems like her flesh is made of steel. Once her underpants are on the floor, the King raises up and leans over her; his eyes lock into hers.

"I can't believe you are allowing me to do that." He licks the edge of his mouth."What did I do to make you so willing?"

"You asked nicely."

"Oh, I can be very nice indeed..." His lips curve into a smug half-smile. "Are you ready?"

Nori nods and swallows, her steel body turning into stone, heavy and unresponsive.

The King moves his hand below her nightgown and slides up her thigh. Nori's legs squeeze together on their own.

"Relax..." He slaps her thigh playfully and parts her legs a little, enough to move his hand up her inner thigh. Her body burns on the inside. She fights the desire to squeeze her legs back together, her core clenching repeatedly.

He stares into her eyes, making it impossible for Nori to look away. She stares back at him as if hypnotized, her stomach tightening. She holds her breath and trembles.

"Relax." he repeats softly. "It will feel good, I promise."

Nori nods, trying to normalize her breathing and ease her stunned muscles.

He slips his hand beneath her underwear. His fingers are warm, yet slightly colder than her heated skin. For a moment Nori senses nothing but those long fingers, sliding over her. Her eyes lose focus as the tickling touch of his hand makes her core clench again. He dives his fingers into her and presses his thumb over her clit. Heat and pleasure spread between her legs, a soft moan escaping her lips.

"You are so sensitive ..." He licks his lips as his fingers travel down between her folds, feeling every inch of her heated skin. "and .. drenched...I didn't know you liked me that much."

He rolls his fingers, collecting the wetness of her arousal, causing Nori's toes to curl. She bites her lower lip, trying to hold back a moan but failing. He moves his hand lower and circles a pair of his fingers over her entrance. She moans louder; her walls convulsing over nothing. He continues his movements for another electrifying second and then sinks the tip of his finger into her. She gasps and digs her nails into the hard surface of the trunk, leaving traces over the painted flowers.

"Please...." she says, out of breath, her eyes rolling up.

"Please, what? You want more?"

"Yes....I mean no... Stop...It's too much...."
