Til Death Do Us Part - Red Queen Fan Fiction

Chapter 69 - What belongs to a King

The morning comes and Cal and I lay side by side, my head on his chest. He kisses the top of my head, and gets up to go to the bathroom and get ready for the day. I lay in bed, my heart and mind racing. The only peace i will probably get today so i don't bother following to get ready too.

When Cal is in the shower, my mom barges in, calling my name. Although i am not naked, and Cal and I didn't do anything last night, i still pull the covers up to my chin, yelping in surprise.

"Mom" i say breathless.

"Good Morning Mare" she says, a scowl on her face. She is thinking the worst.

"Nothing happened" i say, pulling the covers off to show her my shorts and top. I don't know why i even bother. My parents are not stupid.

"Mhmm" she says still unconvinced. "Breakfast is ready and then you both have to be at the Guards headquarters. Farley and Shade will be waiting to prepare you for tonight" I don't miss the tone of her voice, the fact she hates we are doing these types of missions. She is scared. I didn't hear the shower turn off, but before my mom could leave Cal comes through with his towel on. His bare chest still has specs of water and its toned. My mom doesn't miss it, her eyes watching Cal. I see her school girl crush on the young King, and i have to stifle a laugh because they are both looking at each other in shock and embarrassment.

"Im sorry" Cal starts. "How improper, i should have...ah" i laugh. Cal throws daggers my way.

"No. I shouldn't have barged in. Ah.." my mom looks back at his chest, his scars. I see her brow furrow from worry and sadness.

"Yes yes, how embarrassing" i say, trying to make light of the situation. My mom takes the hint and repeats something about breakfast again and needing to help dad read the paper. I laugh as she scrambles out the door.

"You think thats funny?" Cal says, a smirk on his face too now. I know he sees the humour in it.

"Hilarious" i say, throwing my body back on the bed laughing. Cal shakes his head, heading back into the bathroom, and i don't miss how pale he has gone. Embarrassed.

Someone knocks again, and i say come in. Mom pops her head in now, and tells me Caleb is here. I groan, hating what i know will happen. Drama.

She rushes straight out, as i get up to get ready. I take my clothes off, pushing the bathroom door open. Cal is shaving the stubble that has grown, and his towel is still around him. The room is covered in fog, from the hot shower he had. Knowing Cal, a boiling pot would be the perfect temperature for him, so i am not surprised he had the water on full hot blast. I come around him, wrapping my arms around his waist from the back. I get up on my toes, to reach his height and I kiss his neck, and he groans.

"We can't Mare. Your parents are in the next room" his voice sad. I know we missed eachother equally and sometimes all I need is a kiss or his touch.

"I know. Im just kissing your neck. Stop being such a perve" i laugh to myself knowing his reaction. The room starts to clear up, so i walk over to the shower, turning the water on. Luckily i love a hot shower too, but maybe a little warmer than what Cal does. He watches me, because i am naked and because i know he wants to join me. I look back, smiling and he just shakes his head, mumbling something about how hard his life is. I laugh as i step into the shower, closing the glass door. My hair is wet, and i feel it on my lower back.

"Caleb is here waiting for us" i say while in the shower, needing to tell Cal without looking at him. I know he hates him. After a few moments the shower door opens and Cal's arms are around my waist. I feel his hands travel up my thigh, my hip bone, my stomach, until he wraps both arms around my ribcage. He pushes himself against me, pushing me into the shower wall. I gasp, because i am surprised by his strength and his force. My hands are on the wall as Cal kisses my shoulder, my neck. I lean into his kisses, and the water falls on us both. I turn around, my back against the cold shower wall. Cal grabs my thighs, so i end up straddling him. His chest is hard under my touch, as i trace my fingers down his scars. Cals strong arms grab my face as he connects our lips with so much force, i groan under his kiss. I want him. I let my self over to him, our bodies colliding while his strong arms hold me steady. We dont make any noise, knowing well Caleb and my parents are in the next room. Cal and I lose ourselves in this moment, and i dont think of anything else but our bodies, the water and his hands on me.
