Asteria lay sprawled out, naked spare a thin drape of white silk, loosely covering her buttocks and milky, upper thighs. The excess material spilled over the edge of her bed onto the mossy, woodland floor of her living quarters.
She sighed, blowing a long strand of white, blonde hair out of her striking green eyes. It was a balmy midsummer's night and though she didn't sweat, for fairies do no such thing, she did feel uncomfortable but at least she had brought some relief to herself.
"What I would do to return to Chion!" She had exclaimed to nobody but the sticky, night air, "to wear my furs and capes, to flit around the icy caverns and dance in the powdery snow...this climate is just not for me!"
Asteria turned over, pulling the silk up and around her, her small breasts silhouetted against it, her hard areoles still aroused from where she'd just masturbated, grazing the delicate fabric. Six months she'd been here, six months and he had still not graced her presence.
She didn't know what she hated more, the fact she'd been given as though she were a gift, or that the bastard that she now called her husband or her master, (she was unsure which he was to her) hadn't laid a finger on her.
What was not to like? He hadn't even been the one to collect her from her father's palace, he'd sent Cullen, his trusted friend and advisor in his place. The journey from Cion to Dendron had been in complete silence, though he hadn't taken his beady black eyes off of her, not for even a second.
Her father had told her to watch her mouth, for he knew how loose her tongue could be. So although she could think of many things she wanted to say to this creep, she kept silent and gazed out as demurely as she could at the passing landscape.
"Their kind are not as ours are Asteria," Her father had told her, "Keep your opinions to yourself, ensure you always look your best and do exactly what is asked of you. Nothing can go wrong if you adhere to those simple rules. Don't disappoint me any more than you already have done, daughter."
What touching parting words for the man who had pulled her birthright from under her feet, all because he'd caught her in bed with her lover. And yet, she would make that same 'mistake' again in a heartbeat, if it meant spending five more minutes feeling the heat of her body against her lover's naked flesh.
At least her father knew now why she'd turned down every suitor that had come her way. Even from realms as far as Asphodel, where fairy connections had ceased for nearly three hundred years, they had come. Her mother thought she were mad to turn down the Prince of Asphodel, whose father has not long left to live. She would have been Queen within the year of a realm more powerful even than Cion.
Oh, and he was handsome, more handsome than any man she'd ever seen. Yet Asteria had not even considered it and why would she? Not only did her heart belong to another but she wanted to change the way things had been done for centuries in the fairy Kingdom. Asteria wanted to become Queen in her own right, of her own realm and reign over her people without needing to marry.
The knowledge of her remarkable beauty to be so far spread had made Asteria arrogant and this she supposed, had been her downfall. She'd become complacent, that she was above and beyond reproach for her actions. For she was Asteria, the Princess of the realm of Cion! The only child of the Great Fairy King Zephyr of the West! She could lay with who she wanted and wherever she wanted, even in her father's chambers!
Alas, that was a fatal error, though it had been such a thrill. She would never forget the look on her father's face when he saw Faye between her legs with her tongue deep inside the chasm of her innermost being. Asteria had been clutching at Faye's long curly auburn hair as she felt herself about to cum into her mouth when he'd burst into the room.
