Chapter 17


    The Crests


    Cassandra didn’t even see the Governor’sst moments. Carried by Kairen against his chest, she only


    heard and that was enough. Very quickly, she was whisked all the way to his bedroom and thrown on


    the bed.


    “My Lord… I didn’t think you’d be back so quickly.”


    “What the fuck were you doing in his chambers?”


    She was surprised by his question. Kairen started undoing the thick armor he was wearing, the cold


    metal loudly falling to the floor. Cassandra was searching for words, trying to gather her thoughts while


    sitting there.


    “I brought him his dinner…”


    Kairen looked furious. Wearing only his pants now, he threw his shirt across the room and crawled on


    the bed until he was facing her. He grabbed Cassandra’s waist, pulling her against him, and kissed her


    forcefully without warning. She didn’t even have time to breathe. With his tongue on hers, she


    awkwardly held on to his shoulder to keep her bnce. She was sitting a bit on top of him, and he


    grabbed her hair, keeping her close to him.


    When he finally let her go, Cassandra’s lips were numb from the intense kissing. She tried to catch her


    breath.


    “Your lips are cold,” groaned Kairen.


    “The dungeon was cold…”


    He clicked his tongue, annoyed, and kissed her again, even more intensely. Cassandra waspletely


    unprepared. It was only moments ago that she was still alone in that cold prison cell. Now she was on


    his bed, in his chambers, illuminated and warmed up by candles and a roaring fire. She did her best to


    answer his kiss, still getting used to his savage intensity. The way he yed with her tongue was


    restless. Cassandra could feel her skin warming up, the change so fast she shivered under his fingers


    and the sensation of his hot palms caressing her body.


    Kairen’s lips weren’t stopping. He kissed her lips, her cheeks, her jawline, her neck, moving lower and


    lower. Cassandra struggled to undo her dress, taking off theces and getting rid of it before he would


    rip it apart again. It was an embarrassing position for her to be in, straddling her master, her arms


    behind his back while he was caressing and kissing her breasts. She caressed his short ck hair,


    closing her eyes as he kept kissing her breasts, sucking her little pink extremities.


    “My… Lord…” She gasped.


    Her cheeks were red, and she was flush from excitement, a fire burning within her. Kairen, his hands


    on her hips, finally raised his head up to kiss her again, a bit gentler this time, as if he had been


    appeased. Cassandra answered his kiss, almost guiding it as she was on top, and able to keep up.


    One of his hands climbed up to hold her neck’s nape, while the other went down, caressing her


    entrance slowly.


    She shivered at the sensation of his fingers between her legs, rubbing against her sacred parts. He


    caressed her slit thoroughly, reaching out for her entrance in slow motions. Cassandra moaned faintly,


    her desire flowing as soon as his fingers prated her. She held onto his back, biting her lower lip as


    the feeling grew stronger. She could feel the bulge in his pants against her thigh, and that only made


    her more excited. Was she really already used to these sensations? A bit ashamed, she couldn’t help


    but react and move against his fingers. Kairen smiled faintly.


    He undid his pants, freeing his dick, and positioned it against Cassandra’s entrance. Guiding her, he


    slowly pushed in, enjoying her long moan. She held onto his shoulders, breathing hard and adjusting to


    the sensation, the fullness….


    “Move,” he suddenly whispered into her ear.


    Cassandra felt the blood rushing to her cheeks and ears. He wanted her to move? On him? She could


    barely


    endure it already… But Kairen waited, only moving slightly under her, and that was far from enough.


    She bit her lip again, and progressively, moved her hips on him. She could feel his cock rubbing inside


    her, and panted heavily from the sensation. She liked it, and she wanted more.


    Forgetting her embarrassment, she kept moving, finding her rhythm, guided by his hands on her hips.


    Kairen matched his movements to hers, grinding his pelvis fiercely each time, Cassandra moaning with


    each collision.


    He kissed her neck after each thrust. She was crying out so loudly from their passionate love making.


    Cassandra felt like this was surreal. She could feel him under her, responding to her movements, filling


    her up as he held her firmly yet gently. She gasped and moaned, widening her legs over him, feeling


    the pleasure grow and her rationality wane.


    As she started to lose some energy, Kairen took over in full force, forcing his hips up, thrusting faster,


    leaving her no room for rest. She couldn’t control it. Cassandra felt that urge, that explosioning,


    and moaned harder with each of his thrusts. He held her by the waist so she wouldn’t get away. She


    clenched around his thick cock. she exploded, her orgasm overtaking her in a huge wave of pleasure.


    She cried out, long and loud.


    A couple of hourster, she wasying on her side, exhausted, her head on the Prince’s shoulder. Her


    lower body waspletely numb after their passionate sex. Of course, just once hadn’t been enough.


    She blushed thinking about all the positions she had taken to satisfy her Master.


    Kairen had his eyes closed, but his fingers werezily caressing her shoulder.


    “Don’t ever go to another man’s chambers again,” he suddenly said.


    Cassandra looked at him, confused.


    “My Lord, could it be you’re…”


    But before she could end that sentence, Kairen suddenly leaned to face her, looking angry.


    “You are mine. All of you. I told you, if another man touches you, I’ll kill him.”


    Right after that sentence, he leaned over to kiss her, pinning her to the mattress. She couldn’t help but


    answer his kiss, like a conditioned response. Cassandra was starting to like his forceful ways. She felt


    warm in his embrace, and safe…


    She fell asleep shortly after as Kairen held her tightly against his chest. Cassandra almost didn’t need


    the nket, as the Prince’s body was hot enough naturally.


    When she woke the next morning, Kairen was already up. Grabbing the fur cloak to cover her bare


    chest, Cassandra slowly sat up, feeling some back pain. The Prince was putting on his pants, and


    noticed she was awake.


    “You can sleep more.”


    “I’m fine… Are you going back to the Military Camp?”


    “Yes. You’reing too.”


    Cassandra took a few seconds to process what he had just said.


    “With you? My Lord, I can’t go to a military camp!”


    “Why not?”


    “It’s not a ce for… women…”


    She had wanted to say concubines at first, but that term was still too new for her to use it for herself.


    Indeed, it was truly unheard of for a woman to visit a military camp! It was a ce for men only,


    soldiers. Women were never allowed to be warriors or to be inside military camps.


    “If I leave you here, who knows which man’s chambers I’ll find you in next…”


    “My Lord! I wouldn’t…”


    “I don’t care. You’reing with me.”


    His sentence was clearly an order, and Cassandra didn’t dare argue any further. She couldn’t believe


    he was so jealous and distrusting after that stupid incident. A bit unhappy, Cassandra grabbed her


    dress and put it back on. While doing so, she suddenly remembered Nebora’s words about asking for


    some clothes.


    “My Lord… Madam Patrina mentioned I would need more clothes if I stay here. There’s only this one


    dress.”


    For a moment, Kairen hadn’t seemed to have listened to her, as he was putting his boots back on.


    However, the Prince got up and walked to the other side of the room, opening one of the big chests.


    “Just take whatever you need.”


    Cassandra left the bed and walked over to the chest thinking she may find an extra dress or two, but to


    her surprise, the chest wasn’t filled with clothes but with… gold bars! She was speechless as she


    looked down at dozens of perfect gold bars, lined up in several rows. She had never seen so much


    money in her entire life! One gold coin alone could buy several meals for a family – exactly how much


    money was there? Just a single gold bar could buy hundreds of dresses!


    “My Lord, this is far too much!”


    “Then just take one and buy what you need.”


    She looked at him, truly shocked. Did he really think she would need more than one in the first ce?


    Cassandra didn’t even know what to say. She knew the Imperial Family was richer than most, but this


    was truly too unbelievable. She tried not to think about the two other chests in the room, and just


    quickly grabbed one of the bars. Even its weight was impressive. Would she even be able to use that in


    a normal shop? She probably could ask Patrinater.


    She quickly closed the chest, wondering why he had such a thing in his room, when someone knocked


    at the door.


    “Your breakfast, Your Highness.”


    Marian walked in, carrying arge tray of food. A bit embarrassed to have the young girl serve her,


    Cassandra walked over to help her. Her friend faintly smiled as Cassandra handed her the gold bar.


    Marian had exactly the same expression as her, eyes wide open and fixed on the shining bar before


    her. She nced at the Prince, worried, but Kairen was putting his shirt back on, not even looking in


    their direction.


    “Marian, can you give this to Patrina and tell her it’s for buying new clothes for everyone?”


    “F…For everyone? But…”


    “Just ask her to handle it until Ie back, all right?”


    “Y…Yes…”


    Marian held the gold bar with the tip of her fingers, as if she was afraid it would explode in her hands.


    Then, she ran off. Cassandra wasn’t only doing this because it was too much money just for her. She


    didn’t feel right being the only one to receive new clothes when she had noticed the other servants had


    some that were a bit too used, or in the case of Bina and Prunie, too short. She trusted Patrina would


    know how to allocate the money fairly.


    Cassandra turned to Kairen, hoping he wouldn’t be mad at her for sharing the gold bar, but the Prince


    didn’t seem to care at all about the conversation. He had just finished dressing as he went to sit on one


    of the armchairs in front of the food.


    “Aren’t you hungry?” he asked as she stood there.


    “Ah, yes…”


    She walked over and took the seat next to his so she could start eating. After a few minutes of silence


    between them, she suddenly remembered something she had been meaning to ask for a while.


    “My Lord, howe you came back so soon? Nebora said you usually stay longer at the Military


    Camp.”


    Kairen frowned a bit.


    “It was boring. And Krai was annoying, too.”


    “He came back before you did…”


    “That stupid dragon flew back here on his own. He was too bored at the camp and kept looking for you.


    Cassandra couldn’t help but smile at that, thinking about how Krai had missed her. She bit her lip,


    hesitating slightly before asking.


    “Did you miss me as well?”


    Kairen suddenly stopped eating, and turned to her. His ck eyes on her were making her blush. Oh,


    how he was scrutinizing her! Cassandra, too embarrassed to endure his gaze any longer, looked down.


    That’s when Kairen grabbed her wrist and brought her onto his knees, so abruptly she didn’t have time


    to resist. Her face was suddenly very close to his, and she blushed even more, unable to avoid his


    stare.


    “Why do you think I’m taking you with me this time?” he suddenly whispered. (14)

    Grabbing her hair, he brought her closer and Cassandra, overwhelmed, put her arms around his neck,


    slowly kissing his lips.
