  Richard

  ҉ ҉ ҉ ҉ ҉ ҉

  “I promise I will make this transition as smooth as possible. I will rule this country with love, humility, compassion, and determination. Long live Illium.” I finished my speech and the cameras switched off.

  “Well done, Your Majesty,” my new assistant, Scarlett, said. She was the one that had organized the press conference.

  I thanked her before leaving. It was only ten a.m. and I’d already done two press conferences, an interview, and spoken to presidents in three different countries.

  Being King put a lot of pressure on my time. All I could think about was my new wife. It had been dark when I left our bed this morning and I hadn’t seen her since.

  That had to change.

  “I’m taking a break,” I declared.

  Scarlett wanted to object so badly. It was written all over her pinched features, but she wouldn’t say anything. Nobody dared to object the king.

  The king.

  It still felt so odd calling myself that. My father had only been buried two days ago and I missed him dearly. We all did, including the citizens of the country. They were all watching me now, waiting for me to live up to the very big shoes my father left behind.

  I should have been on my honeymoon now. It was all planned and paid for but impossible for us to enjoy. The country needed me and I was trained since birth to put the country first and my own needs last.

  Melody had been fantastic. She took it all and gave me nothing but support and understanding. She’d been there for the worst and best days of my life and hadn’t put a foot wrong.

  God, I loved her.

  I hurried through the palace, purposefully avoiding everyone so they wouldn’t stop me in my quest to find my queen. It seemed like everyone had questions for me these days and I would rather dodge them all.

  The palace was a massive place and I didn’t have a way of finding Melody without some kind of supernatural ability. But it was morning, so she was probably out enjoying the gardens. She liked to avoid the people in the palace too.

  It was a beautiful day with the sky a pure blue and only a few fluffy clouds floating by. The flowers had all burst into bloom, giving off a scent so magnificent that it couldn’t be bottled.

  My exquisite flower was sitting in her favorite space at the corner of the Ladies Garden, looking as gorgeous as ever. I didn’t think I could love her more, but every day proved me wrong.

  “I am so glad to see you,” I said, catching her attention. A smile instantly lit up her face. I bent down and placed an urgent kiss on her lips.

  “I’m happy to see you too. I wasn’t sure when I would. You were gone so early this morning,” she replied. I sat down beside her, so close our sides were touching.

  I put my arm around her and made sure she was even closer. “My schedule is packed as usual. There’s so much to do and not enough hours in the day.”

  She smelled even better than the roses surrounding us. Everything about her was intoxicating. I had been thinking about her all morning and being this close to her reminded my cock how sexy she was.

  I leaned in and started kissing her neck. Just light kisses at first, but they quickly turned needier as they caressed over her jawline.

  My cock sprang to life, aching to be inside Melody. She was my sexy queen, and I wanted to rule every inch of her with my scepter.

  She giggled as I kissed the ticklish part of her neck and then continued to her lips. With my other hand, I pushed the strap of her dress down her shoulder. I wanted her right then and there in the garden. I didn’t care where we were.

  “Rick,” she sighed.

  I kissed her cheek and her ear, covering her skin with my lips. My cock throbbed, wanting to be inside her right away. The sooner I could get her naked, the better. It wouldn’t be soon enough, no matter how fast I managed it.

  “Rick.”

  “Melody,” I replied, matching her tone in a teasing way. My hand snaked down the front of her dress and found her nipple in her bra. I gave it a tweak, ready to make her groan with pleasure.

  She swatted at my hand. “We need to stop.”

  “My cock says no.”

  “Well, you’re King now, so it needs to stay in your pants. In public, anyway.”

  I would have loved to be able to carry her inside to our suite and fuck her all day. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time for that. It was a quick fuck in the garden or nothing.

  “We’ll be quick. Nobody will see,” I urged. My balls were starting to ache for some action. I could imagine them in her fingers as she massaged them, bringing me to the brink so easily.

  She pulled my hand from her dress and placed it on her shoulder, adjusting the strap while she was there. “It wouldn’t look good for the new king to be caught having sex in the palace gardens. Now is a very important time for you and we can’t put a foot out of place. The eyes of the world are on us.”

  My gorgeous wife was correct, of course. But there was no way I was going to go back and sit through yet another interview with a cock twice its normal size.

  I put my hand back into her dress and squeezed her boob. “Screw everyone else. I want you and I want you now, my sexy girl.”

  My lips found hers again, cutting off any further protests. If we didn’t get this time together, there was no point in being King. If I couldn’t have Melody, then I didn’t want anything.

  Her body relaxed into mine as she gave herself over to the need. It had been three days since we had sex and I couldn’t wait a moment longer. Three days had been almost impossible, four would have been criminal.

  “We should at least go into the bushes,” Melody said, laughing at my enthusiasm. I let go of her long enough to look around. We were on the path and quite conspicuous. Anyone could walk by and see us, including my mother.

  I stood and took her hand, guiding her further into the garden and off the path. There was a corner of large trees with tall agapanthuses flowering in front of them. It wasn’t a perfect screen but it would be enough to somewhat hide us.

  Once I had her in the corner, all bets were off. I practically tore off her dress and let it pool on the floor. Her bra and panties followed. She didn’t technically have to be fully naked for us to fuck but that’s the way I liked her. If I had a say, she would be totally naked all the time.

  She grabbed at my pants and opened the zipper. Her fingers grasped around my cock, feeling the erection for the first time. Her lips curled into a greedy smile. My bet was she couldn’t wait for me to be inside her too.

  “Turn around and grab onto the tree,” I ordered. She readily complied, licking her lips as she turned her back to me.

  That naked back was almost as seductive as her ass. I wanted to slap it until it was pink and then spend all afternoon rubbing it better again. If only I had the time, I would gladly indulge in both of our fantasies.

  I stepped closer to her and let my cock rub against her naked ass. The feel of her skin against mine was enough to make me intake a sharp breath. I longed for the release her body could give me. I craved it like nothing else.

  My hands went around her waist and upwards until I could cup both her tits. Her nipples were ripe and ready for plucking, two tight buds. I toyed with them between my fingers, feeling her pr
essing her chest further into my touch. Melody always loved me playing with her boobs like that.

  I left one hand on her tit and let the other delve lower. Over her belly button, over her ticklish lower belly, and then over her mound. She was freshly shaven with not a stitch of hair on her pussy. I liked it this way. I couldn’t wait to taste her when I had more time.

  My fingers enfolded her clit as I massaged it. She let out a breath as I increased the pressure and speed until her legs were practically buckling. I’d told her to hold onto the tree for a reason. I liked nothing more than bringing her to her knees with pleasure.

  Voices suddenly sounded. We both froze and shifted so we were shielded a little more by the tree.

  “I don’t know where he’s got to. He said he’d only be a few minutes,” Scarlett said as she walked by with another one of my advisors. They were hurrying through, luckily their search wasn’t very thorough.

  “The reporters are waiting. I don’t know what to tell them.”

  “He’s got to be on palace grounds somewhere. Maybe we should check the kitchens? He might have been grabbing a snack.”

  “My bet would be if we find his wife, we’d probably find him.”

  “Maybe so.”

  They hurried away. They would be searching for a while longer because I wasn’t going to return for my next appointment until I had thoroughly attended to my wife’s next orgasm.

  “Maybe we shouldn’t be—” I cut off Melody’s protest by rubbing her clit again. We both quickly forgot about the interruption as we fell back into the business of providing and receiving pleasure.

  My finger dipped into Melody’s cunt and found her dripping wet. She was ready for my raging cock and it wasn’t a moment too soon. I gently tapped on the inside of her legs and shifted them further apart for access.

  I bent over her body and positioned my cock at her entrance. I nudged in gently at first, spreading her cunt to accommodate my size. She was tight as I squeezed in, filling her completely until I was balls deep inside.

  My desire for her was tangible, wrapped around us like a blanket. It was a fully immersive experience, blocking out everything else in the world. All that existed was my hot naked wife and how she was panting with her own unsated need.

  My hips bucked against her sexy tight ass. I loved the noise our bodies made as they collided, even though we were trying to be quiet. I didn’t really care if we were caught, we were doing nothing wrong. Everyone was expecting a royal heir and we needed to fuck to make that happen.

  Of course, a more discreet place would probably have been more appropriate. But beggars couldn’t be choosers. I’d take it wherever I could get it.

  She was so tight, holding my cock in her walls with muscles that made everything so much better. I continued to rub her clit, massaging the sensitive nerves there until she was moaning for more. I sped up and applied more pressure while my hips started moving quicker to match.

  My orgasm wasn’t going to be staved off for long. I wanted to enjoy her body for longer, but we did need to be quick and I wasn’t sure my powers of suppression were going to work. It had been three days and I was a newlywed.

  “God, Rick.”

  I leaned in closer, making sure we definitely couldn’t be overheard. “Come for me, Melody. Nice and quiet, I want to feel your climax.”

  My fingers tugged on her clit hard and she was gone. Her cunt contracted around my cock, squeezing me harder until I lost all control. She quietly sighed as she rode the waves of pleasure.

  My cock twitched as I shoved it into her as far as it would go. The orgasm was rolling over me, making everything seem bright and shiny. Her body felt so soft against me. I wished I was naked with her so we could writhe together skin to skin. It never got old with Melody.

  If anything, marriage had only made it better. Our love making was always completely free of inhibitions now. Like there were absolutely no barriers between us. We were one person, and we had made that vow for a lifetime together. I couldn’t have been happier or more surprised that it could be that way with a woman.

  Adrenaline still coursed through my body as my cock started to go soft. It was still inside her. Our combined juices starting to run down her legs. She was going to have to clean up after this and that made me somewhat satisfied.

  I was still feeling the high when I pulled out of her and took a step back. I spanked her ass as I did, making her jump with surprise. “Someone’s been a bad girl,” I whispered.

  She gave me a sly smile. “I’m not the only one who’s been bad. A King having sex in the palace gardens? How scandalous.”

  “It wouldn’t be the first time,” I reminded her. Although, I supposed I was only a Prince then. A Prince could get away with a lot more than a King could. I’d already discovered that for myself.

  I zipped my pants and hoped any lingering scent wouldn’t be too noticeable. I would have to stop by a restroom on the way back to the media rooms. Reporters would just love to report that I smelled like funk.

  “I’ll try to join you for dinner tonight,” I said. I tucked my shirt back in and hoped I looked presentable. Another reason to stop by the restrooms.

  “I’d like that.”

  I gave her a quick kiss before I stepped out of the bushes and back onto the path. I headed straight toward the palace with a million new tasks already scrolling through my mind.

  At least now I could walk straight without my cock begging for some action. That just might ensure I could get through the rest of the day without going insane.

  Chapter 2

  Melody

  ҉ ҉ ҉ ҉ ҉ ҉

  I was left naked in the garden by myself. I felt cold, even though the air was warm. I watched Rick as he hurried away from me. I watched until he was out of sight.

  My dress was on the floor, discarded by the king who had no time for me. I picked it up, along with my underwear, and started to dress. It was the most time I’d spent with Rick since the wedding.

  Our honeymoon was spent at the palace, attending to funeral preparations and public appearances. I had been there for Rick during his grieving and it only made us stronger.

  But now, after he assumed the king’s duties, I’d barely spent any time at all with him. It was a difficult balance we were trying to strike and we hadn’t worked it out yet.

  I dressed with sadness weighing me down, wishing I had Rick’s arms around me. Cuddling after sex was one of the best parts and we hadn’t done that in a long time. It was like we were just doing the basics to get us through.

  It seemed clear on the path so I stepped out and pulled self-consciously on my dress to make sure it was correctly in place. Ever since Rick had taken the throne, it felt like we were always being watched. My husband more than me, but I still couldn’t be too careful.

  I headed inside and straight up to our suite. We hadn’t moved to the King’s suite yet. It still seemed like it belonged to Rick’s father. It would be weird for us to live in those rooms at the moment. Maybe one day, when his ghost had settled.

  For now, we were still in Rick’s rooms. They were the same as they were before we were married. Just now my clothes hung in the closet too. We hadn’t had any time for redecorating.

  We hadn’t had time for anything.

  I imagined that we’d have a lot more time together before Rick had to take on such a heavy burden. I pictured us traveling the world and lazing on beaches, spending late mornings in bed, and sailing along blue oceans. That fantasy was well and truly gone now.

  I closed the door behind me and headed for the bathroom. Stocked in the bottom drawer of the vanity were a small pile of pregnancy tests. I pulled one out and followed the directions.

  Since the wedding night, I hadn’t used any contraception. The queen said it was of the utmost importance that the kingdom had a line of succession. At the moment, if anything happened to Rick, his uncle would take the throne. I only met him on a few occasions but already I understood why they couldn’t let th
at happen.

  His uncle was an egomaniac, a sadist and greedy as all hell. He was not the kind of person that should rule an entire country.

  A lot hung on my ability to produce an heir. Even a baby was a better option than his uncle. At least the child would be able to grow up with good people around him. He would learn to be a good King instead of just assuming the throne with a lifetime of bad behavior behind him.

  While the pregnancy test worked its magic, I cleaned myself up. Rick was messy when we had sex. It was almost sad cleaning the scent of him off my skin. It seemed silly to miss him so much when we lived in the same home and shared the same bed.
