The Hidden One

Chapter 26

Letta patted her hair dry as Aaron sat on the bed and watched. She stopped as she heard him speak, "Why have you never learned to swim?"

Letta shrugged as she turned to him, "I've always been afraid of water, not sure why though. Why do you ask?"

"Aaron bit his lip as he smiled, "I'm going to teach you."

Letta nervously chuckled, "Your joking right?"

Aaron eased up from the bed and cradled her face, "You terrified me when I heard your voice crying from the water. I don't ever want to go through that again."

Letta searched his eyes before he kissed her. He then rubbed his nose against hers, "What is your desire for today wife?"

Letta cocked her eyebrow, "May we go to town? I need some new fabric."

Aaron tipped her chin to met his lips and gave a gentle peck, "Of course, but make sure you get plenty for your dress for the Governor banquet."

"Governor banquet? I don't recall you telling me about it."

Aaron sighed, "The Head Administrator was so pleased with your city farm, he is holding a mandatory holiday here to give them a tour."

Letta's chest heaved, "All of the Governors!? No! Demetrio will make me go back! Emella will kill Merick! Oh please Aaron.. Don't let them take me!"

Aaron frowned as he held his sobbing bride, "No one is going to take you from me. I promise. I would die before I let them take you."

Letta sobbed in Aaron's robe as she clung to him, "What about Merick?"

Aaron led Letta to the side of the bed and sat her down. He kneeled before her, "Letta, I sent one of my trusted men to search for Merick before our wedding. He had passed away a month after Emella's took you."

Letta was in shock, "Wwwhhyy.. why didn't you tell me.. I stayed there for so long.. for no reason!" Letta was shaking from anger.

Aaron grasped her hands to comfort her, "Letta, you did nothing wrong. Her own evil will be her down fall. After everything you've been through, your heart never hardened."

Letta sighed as she looked down, "Why did you send someone to look for him?"

"I wanted him safe, and for him to be there when I took your hand.." Aaron stared at her with sorrow in his eyes as Letta cried harder. "What is it dearest?"

Letta sprung into his arms and hugged him, "I don't know what I've done to deserve you."

Aaron pressed his mouth into her shoulder as he squeezed her tighter, "No, it is I who is blessed."

Emella and Demetrio sat in the dining hall as they ate in silence. Her emotionless daze was interrupted as Demetrio spoke, "We are expected in Rome in a month, the Head Administrator demands it."

Emella rolled her eyes, "Why not take one of your whores, I do not wish to go."

Demetrio pushed from the table and angrily strutted over to her. She squealed as he grabbed the nape of her neck, "You will obey my orders! You will not be the cause of me losing my Governorship!"

Emella sobbed as he yelled in her ear, "Yes husband!"

"That's better! Now clean yourself up! I expect you in my chamber in a hour! I'm sick of having bastards for heirs!"

Emella held her sides as she sobbed. She slumped foreword and pressed her head to the table, dreading him to touch her again.

Aaron growled through his gritted teeth. He kept pressing the man's head into the dirt as he strangled him. He kept thinking, "Dead! All dead! Because of you!"  Aaron watched as the life from the man's eyes drifted away. 

"Aaron..! Aaron...!"

Aaron bolted up in bed. His chest was covered in sweat as it heaved. He jumped as Letta gently touched his arm.

Letta quickly pulled her hand away, "I'm sorry, I don't mean to scare you, but your were having a nightmare."

Aaron squeezed his eyes closed as he caught his breath, "I'm sorry to wake you. It was a memory, a memory that I cannot forget."

Letta caressed the side of his face, she squeak as he jerked her into his lap and feverishly started to kiss her.

Letta smiled as she accepted his kisses. She sighed into his mouth as he caressed her breast. She watched as he eased down on his back and untied her nightgown. Letta bit her lip as he helped her straddled him, "I want to see you."

Letta eased up and gasped as he eased her onto him, he leaned his head back as she eased up and down.

Letta closed her eyes as she tried to focus her rhythm. She unknowingly let a moan escape her lips as she rode him.

Her eyes eased open as she heard his voice, "Mmm... That's it.. so good.. mmm.."

Letta shivered from his words giving her butterflies. She wrinkled her brow as the pressure between her legs started to build. She loved that she was in control of their pleasure. Aaron reached up and cupped both breast as she leaned forward.  He could not believe how perfect she was as he watched her bounce. She started to moan as her angle hit her g-spot. Aaraon gritted his perfect teeth as his member rubbed her sensitive area. He could feel her tightening around him.

Letta spoke through gasp, "Aaron... mmm... I can't stop... I'm .. Ooohh.."

Letta's legs tighten and shook around his hips. Aaron gasped as he came at the same time.

Letta's eyes eased open and closed as he stroked her back while laying on his chest. He smiled at the sound of her breathing in her deep sleep.
