The Crown's Entrapment

At Everett Manor, Black Claw Territory

The day couldn't begin any sooner as Freya opened her eyes to a brand new morning. Her body was sore all over, but she didn't mind the pain one bit. In fact, she rather liked it. And she wouldn't mind going through the events that led to them again one bit.

[You can say that again,] Yal preened in her head. [That was some of the best experiences you've had in your whole life!]

The princess couldn't help but smile as she weakly sat up. Sure enough, she was naked, but that wasn't even the best part. Looking at her shoulder, Gideon's mark made itself known to her, their Bond pulsing with life in the back of her head as she felt him stirring beside her.

"Good morning, Gideon," Freya greeted with a smile. "That was... That was the best night I ever had."

Gideon rose from his side of the bed, and she found herself being reminded of last night's escapades with how much she remembered every inch of his body touching hers. His lips were still wet, making her recall the wonders that he had done throughout her being that she honestly thought she was going to die from the pleasure.

"Good morning, Freya," Gideon greeted back, a wide smile on his face as he sat up to meet her in the eye. "And you're still as gorgeous as last night."

The Freya of before would've blushed at the thought of being seen naked by any man. However, this was the Freya that had just gotten her world rocked by the love of her life. Gideon was the man that had seen everything that she had to offer both in mind and body. He was the one that she had a Bond with, and the one that she had marked just as much as he did to her.

[I'm glad you think that,] she mentally replied, a smile adorning her face as she cooed at him. [And thank you for... everything that you did to me last night. It was literally life-changing.]

Even now, their Bond was abuzz with love and affection going both ways between them. Freya couldn't stop herself from smiling as she felt her heart warm from the sheer feeling of belonging and contentment coming from her mate. And of course, she rewarded it back to him tenfold as she made sure to give him what he deserved.

[I can say the same to you, you know,] Gideon promptly replied back, his arm already snaking around her shoulder as he pulled her in for a hug. [You accepted me, and you gave me more than I could ever hope for. Thank you for being my mate, Freya.]

A comfortable silence settled between them as they ended up giving each other a warm hug. With their bodies still naked, their bodies exchanged both warmth and affection as Freya let Gideon rub her head against his naked chest. In response, she wrapped her arms around his back, pulling him closer to her as she inadvertently rubbed her chest all over his own bulging muscles.

She couldn't help but blush as the warm moment suddenly became hotter from her own actions. She could feel the tip of her picks stiffen from the bodily contact, her own core starting to tingle the longer their embrace continued.

[Freya? Are you alright?]

Her eyes widened as Gideon suddenly asked her through their Bond. She could only assume that he felt her arousal growing through their Bond, and there was no way that she'd be able to hide anything from him even if she wanted to.

[I-I'm alright,] she stammered through the Bond, her cheeks flushed red as she tried to control the desire starting to burn within her. [I'm just...]

[Freya, you don't have to lie to me,] Gideon cut her off. [I can see you as plain as the day. And likewise, you can do the same. Feel through our Bond, my sweety. Do you think I'm lying?]

Blinking, Freya felt through their Bond, and sure enough, she couldn't see anything in Gideon that would even hint that he was lying to her. He was completely genuine in his concern for her... And like her, it seemed as if he was also starting to get aroused just by looking at her naked body like this.

[See? There's nothing between us that can even result in a misunderstanding,] Gideon chuckled. [You can read me like an open book in the same way that I can do with you.]

She nodded, her feelings of excited resignation shining through the Bond.

[So tell me, Freya... Is there something wrong?]

Shaking her head, she kept both her mouth and thoughts quiet as another idea went through her mind. With a small smirk, she unleashed her burning arousal through their Bond, telling Gideon that they should do whatever needs to be done to try and quell this raging inferno within her.

"Freya," he growled into her ears, his voice sending shockwaves all the way to her core. "You really want this to happen?"

"We have all the time in the world," she growled back, her grip on his body tightening as she felt his shaft come up and greet her stomach. "We don't have to leave until a few hours later. What's a bit more time to feel each other up in the meantime?"

She pushed him away only to look him straight in the eye. For a split second, she saw the gift that her mate had given her last night. She recalled telling him that she'll look at what was inside of it at the earliest today, but she really didn't feel like doing so at the moment.

"You can take a peek at my surprise for you later, my love," Gideon huskily breathed out, having read her mind through their Bond. "In the meantime, let me help you with that 'burning sensation' problem you have in your loins."

Freya bit her teeth in anticipation. Laying back down on the bed, she resigned herself for at least another hour of being sent into the highest peaks of pleasure and loving satisfaction.

Really, a part of her knew she was getting addicted, but she didn't care. This was all that her love was giving her, and she was more than ready to take it all.
