Chapter 24: Later that night after the ball.

In the early hours of the morning, Hawke and Elayne finally reached their room. Elayne was feeling a little intoxicated, and was having trouble walking, so Hawke picked her up and carried her. Once they were behind closed doors, she continued to giggle as she playfully removed his shirt, before pulling him upstairs. Once they reached the bedroom, she turned around and pressed her hands against his chest, pushing him onto the bed, and helped him remove his pants.

Gone was the giggling, the laughter in her eyes. Instead, there was sexual hunger. "We're finally alone, Hawke," she murmured with a hint of longing in her voice. She let down her hair from its bun, allowing her beautiful golden locks to fall loosely. With a teasing motion, she lowered one strap of her dress, revealing one of her breasts, then ran her hand across it, playing with her nipple, before she did the same with the other strap. And exposed both of her breasts, running her hands across them, rubbing her nipples. As she continued to undress, she teasingly slipped the dress down her hips, exposing herself to him and making his need for her even stronger.

He saw where she was standing and walked over to her, holding her head in his hands and gave her a deep, tender kiss. She pressed herself against him, placing her hand on him, but he wanted something else from her first. He gazed into her eyes before he turned her around to face the mirror. As he placed his hands on her breasts, he watched the excitement in her eyes while his fingers pulled, teased, and twisted her nipples.

"Do you enjoy the sight of me satisfying you, my tempting little enchantress?" Her hungry gaze met his through the reflection in the mirror. "Tell me, Elayne. I need to hear you say it, baby," his voice was deep and rough as he moved his hand down towards her lower body but stopped just above the area between her legs. He trailed his fingers down the inside of her thigh, feeling her body tremble under his touch. Then he brought it back up, teasingly caressing her outer lips before repeating the same on her other thigh.

She looked up at him, her eyes locking onto his. "I love watching you pleasure me, Hawke," she whimpered. Her voice became more brazen as she continued, "It turns me on just as much as it turns you on, watching yourself sliding in and out of me."

He growled at her, pure animal lust coursing through him. She watched the change in his eyes as they became more intense, and her body responded to his look. She let out a soft cry as her rear brushed against his stiff shaft. Her own arousal intensifying, as she became aware of the dampness between her thighs.

He used his magic to move the mirror in a perfect spot and to soundproof the room from the floor up. He loved hearing her screams of pleasure, and tonight, he had no intention of quieting them. He completely merged their minds and bodies together, becoming one as he pulled her to the corner of the bed with him behind her, sitting her in front on the edge. He arranged her body and legs so she could witness herself fully open to them. With one hand on her breast, his other hand went to her clit rubbing her before his fingers went inside her. Her gasps turned into pants of pleasure as he penetrated her and began thrusting his fingers in and out. The sensation was electrifying, intensifying with every movement, taking her to new levels of pleasure with just his fingers. Each time he withdrew his fingers, they were coated in her juices, which only added to her excitement as she watched him pleasure her.

He grabbed a couple of pillows and arranged them under her so she could watch him, as he got in front of her and put his head between her legs. With his eyes on hers, he began to kiss her, flicking his tongue over her clit, causing her to moan in pleasure. As he continued to suck and lick, he inserted his fingers back inside of her. She thrust her hips up against his mouth, pushing his fingers deeper inside of her. He moved his fingers in and out while licking and nibbling around and on her clit, watching as she started to buck wildly in response. He felt her muscles tighten around his fingers and watched the change in her eyes just before she reached her climax. At that moment, he shoved his tongue deep inside of her, bringing her to another peak of pleasure. She watched as his tongue penetrated her deeply, feeling and seeing the intense reaction it caused in her body, she screamed in ecstasy. He continued to lap and suck up all of her juices, as he brought her over the edge again and again.

"Hawke," she whimpered, "I need to feel you inside me, baby please."

He grabbed her around the waist and rolled her over, stretching her arms in front of her with her rear raised. "Watch us in the mirror, darling," she watched as he put his shaft into her moist, tight sheath. She felt the same pleasure he did as he entered her, and she moaned with ecstasy as he penetrated her deeply. She could feel the heat and tightness of their connection, feeling herself clenching around him and seeing him become slick with her juices. He continued thrusting into her, grabbing onto her hips as he pulled her closer to him, his movements becoming harder and faster inside of her. Unable to contain himself any longer, he closed his eyes and let out a primal roar while his shaft thickened around her, plunging deeper before releasing his seed inside of her.

He collapsed over her, apologizing, "Sorry, my love, I couldn't hold back any longer," he chuckled in between breaths.

Instead of answering him, she rolled him over on his back, his head towards the mirror. She watched herself in the mirror as she positioned herself over him, spreading her legs and lowering herself onto him. He watched as she tried different positions, watching herself as she glided up and down on top of him. He moved her hips with his hands, helping her move up and down on him. He felt her tighten as he quickened the pace, all while she watched herself in the mirror and exploded on him. She gazed down at him, out of breath and content, a pleased expression on her face.

Without letting her rest, he pulled her towards him and brought their lips together, sliding her back and forth against him. She let out a moan as their hips moved faster. His mouth left hers and he took her nipple in his mouth, her back arching into him. She gasped and increased the speed of her movements, feeling him grow thicker inside of her as she tightened around him. With one last powerful thrust, he looked into her eyes and let out a deep growl as she screamed in pleasure. They completely lost themselves in each other, their bodies becoming one in the pleasure of their release together.

Rolling her over beside him, he leaned on his elbow, watching her. She had a satisfied smile on her face as she gazed up at him. "Are you satisfied, my love?"

She reached a hand up, cupping his cheek. "Very much so, thank you baby, this night will be a sweet memory forever in my mind. It was so sensual, erotic, intensifying, and exciting at the same time, especially so with our minds joined."

He grinned down at her, pulling her closer to him, "I aim to please, my love, that's all I ever want to do for you, however I can," he whispered, putting his lips to hers.

Releasing her lips, she sighed, grabbed his arm as she rolled over, putting it around her and closing her eyes. He pulled her tight against him, "good night, my beautiful angel, I love you, Elayne," he whispered in her ear.

"I love you too, Hawke," she whispered back before sleep took her.

Still buried in her mind, he watched as images of their night went into her dreams. He grinned down at her, kissed her cheek lightly, 'Dream well, my angel,' he thought as he pulled his mind from hers. He saw that it was daylight through the curtains as he laid his head down beside her, falling asleep with her in his arms.

When he awoke later, she was still asleep. He laid there watching her until his belly started grumbling. He slipped out of bed and put his pants on, and headed to the kitchen. He asked the cooks for two heaping plates of food on a tray. Once they were done, he thanked them and headed back to their room. He felt Elayne starting to wake up as he walked upstairs. He set the tray on the nightstand beside the bed and laid down on it, pulling her closer to him.

She opened her eyes, looking up at him with a sweet smile on her face, "Morning, my love."

He chuckled, "more like afternoon, baby, we slept the day away. The sun was already up when we finally went to sleep." He leaned down and kissed her. "Are you hungry, baby?" He heard her belly grumble, "I take that as a yes then," he grinned at her. He sat up and grabbed a plate for her as she situated herself on the bed.

"I can't believe we slept the day away, but I definitely enjoyed the night we had. It was a lot better than my turning sixteen ball. I hate those things, having a special ball just because someone comes of age to get married. I felt like a piece of art put on display for every available male to put in their highest bid. I'm just grateful father respected me enough to let me make my own choices."

She glared angrily at him, "I will not allow our daughters to go through the same treatment that I did. If they do not want to have a coming of age ball, it will be their choice. I will not force it upon them just because some man in the past believed it was a means to either rid himself of his daughter or improve his social status." Her words were filled with hatred and disgust.

"Love, I agree with you totally. Let them make their own decisions. You forget, I have a sister myself who's reached the marriage age. I'm not forcing her to go out and find a man or bring anyone around her. Whenever she's ready and finds the right one, then that's her choice."

"I'm sorry, Hawke, I know you would never do that, I need to remember our marriage night." A smile broke out on her face as she remembered that night and snuggled into him.

She looked over at him, "you know, to be honest, I never really thought of marrying until I met you. When you asked me to marry you, there was no hesitation. I knew deep down that you were the only one for me. And that night, when we said our vows, I didn't even hesitate. It felt right.

"When you mentioned kissing me for the first time, I wanted you to kiss me, but I was hesitant. I was afraid of the emotions that you were invoking in me. You were someone new to me, and I was scared, not in a normal way, though. Deep down, I knew that if you touched me and our lips met, I would never be able to break free from you. I would be connected to you forever. Part of me wanted that, craved it even, but another part of me was frightened by the intensity of my feelings for you. They were unfamiliar and intimidating. However, those fears have now faded away. I am no longer afraid of the love you have for me," she looked at him with love in her eyes. "You are my soulmate, destined to be with me. Our bond is unbreakable, and I never want to be separated from you. My love for you surpasses anything else, Hawke."

Tears started forming in her eyes, one fell, and he cupped her cheek with his hand, his thumb wiping it away. He stared into her eyes, "I love you, Elayne." He brought his mouth to hers, kissing her passionately, tenderly. She sighed, putting her arms around him, melting into him.

He pulled his mouth away, looking down at her. "I'm sorry I frightened you, I never meant to. I know I came on too strong, I tried to give you space, I even tried to ignore the way I was feeling about you. Hell Elayne, those same feelings you were having, I was having also. But I couldn't stay away from you, couldn't keep my eyes from you. You were the first thing on my mind when I woke up and the last thing when I went to sleep."

"Our first kiss, the moment our lips met, the feeling of you in my arms, I knew that you belonged to me. To be truthful, I wanted you from the first moment I saw you descending the stairs that night. However, it was a deeper, more profound longing, as if something deep in you was calling out to me. At the time, I was unaware of it, but our souls and hearts were reaching out to one another; this is why our connection was so swift, intense, and unbreakable.

"I don't regret any of it, though. You are my world, my life, my heart, my other half, my soul mate. I love you more than anything in this world." He kissed her once more, his passion growing more intense. Despite his efforts to restrain himself, he couldn't hold back. His hands and lips consumed her while his body longed for her. He made love to her repeatedly, unable to get enough of her.

Late into the night, he finally let her go, both of them exhausted but deeply content and satisfied. She curled up to him, her arm over his chest, her thigh over his as he lay there on his back holding her with one arm, watching her. She smiled lovingly at him, it melted his heart. "I love you, princess," he said as he rolled over, pulling her close to him.

She grinned up at him, "I know baby, you showed me over and over again." She wrapped her arm around him, kissing him. Sighing, "I love you too, Hawke," she whispered, closing her eyes.

He chuckled, put his head on top of hers, closing his eyes as he inhaled her floral scent, taking it into him, falling asleep with her in his arms.

When Hawke and Elayne went down for breakfast, Bryce walked in, glancing at the couple. "Well, I see you've both decided to finally join us even if it is a day later." He saw Elayne's face flush, and he chuckled as he sat down.

"Sorry sir, by the time we left the ball it was already early morning, we ended up sleeping the whole day," Hawke said, as he looked over at Elayne lovingly, making the flush in her cheeks deepen.

Bryce cleared his throat, "so what are your plans for today," he asked, looking over at Hawke.

"I really don't have any, I know I have to get Midnight out on a run. I was thinking if she's up to it, Elayne could show me more of Highever. And I know she's mentioned a couple of people who might be interested in helping me with my farm. In less than a month, I'm going to be gone for a while, and my family is going to be here. There will be no one to take care of the animals while I'm gone. I know my family will be ok," he looked over at Elayne, "all my family will be safe. But that farm is our home. And I want to make sure that it will be okay in our absence."

"I understand, Hawke. I've already told you, we'll help however we can." He looked at them both, wondering if he should tell them of the missions he was thinking about sending them on. Hawke really hadn't shown an interest except for that one day when he had closed off the caves. There was only one way of knowing for sure.

"I think you wanting to see more of the land is a good idea, that's why I'd like to have you both go on some patrols with some of my men. Not only can you see more of our land, but you both can learn more of how the soldiers operate. I know the subject bothers you, Hawke, but if something were to happen with Fergus and me, Elayne will be taking over. She needs more experience around her men and out on the field, being that you two are married, that means you need to be involved with this also." He sat there watching both of them as they looked at each other. Coming to some kind of agreement between themselves, Elayne took Hawke's hand as he turned towards Bryce.

"We agree sir, it is important for her to have a better understanding about the training and the soldiers and as her husband," he looked over at her again, sighing, "I also need to be familiar with them. That means that she'll be part of the daily training, excuse me, both of us will be in the daily training exercises with the soldiers and also go on patrols with them."

Bryce nodded, pleased with the agreement. He had another idea, but he decided on waiting for that after Hawke came back from his trip.

"You're still intending on entering the competition," he asked Hawke.

"I am, sir, for the same reason I told you before. I won't be part of the King's army, I'm not looking for fame and fortune, but I do need men for when I can't be around to protect my family. The only way I can see to getting them is by proving myself. I have to show them that I know what I'm doing."

Bryce looked at him, "you do know that with the training that you'll be getting with my men will also help. You don't need sword training, so you don't have to be part of that unless you want to." He looked over at Elayne, "but you're not excluded."

"But Hawke has already started training me, I finally figured out how to focus my mind. We're going to train on how I can focus better on my surroundings, then on sword training. I want to train with him."

"Elayne, you and I will still train, but it's a good idea you learn with your men also. You've told me the training that you've been getting is one on one, since I will be taking over your individual training, you will be learning to train in a group with others. And since I'm asking you to do that, I will be joining you too." Elayne gave him an odd look, and he sighed, "I can't ask you to do something if I won't do it, so I will be joining you."

Bryce nodded to himself, the young man was right. If Elayne wanted to continue on the path of a warrior, she needed more training than the individual training she was getting. But if she was talking about starting a family, he wondered if she would continue her training? Motherhood was a demanding task just of its own, but learning to be a warrior was just as demanding. He wondered what Hawke would do once she did get pregnant and become a mother. Would he allow her to continue with her training? That was between them, though, hopefully a long way off.

Hawke looked at Bryce, Bryce was making sure that Hawke was getting more involved with the inner workings of his men, and he was doing it through his daughter. If Hawke was honest with himself, every time they did get into the discussion of him being part of Bryce's military, Hawke would get upset with him. So Bryce was going about it a different way, but Bryce needed to understand that he wasn't one of his men. He was Elayne's husband, just because he was married to Bryce's daughter, that didn't mean Bryce could manipulate him.

Once they were done with their meal, he looked at Bryce, "we'll be there starting tomorrow. In the meantime, my wife and I are going to spend some time together." And he walked out with Elayne.

"Is there another way out of here without anyone noticing," he quietly asked Elayne. "I was serious when I said I wanted to spend some time alone with you, and I can't do that with our men tagging along. I'm also tired of the fact that the only time I can be completely alone with you is when we're in our room."

She looked at him with a secret smile, "follow me." She led him through some storage rooms, and when they got to one room, she manipulated something on a wall. She pulled him into another room that was really dusty with some broken crates. It was obvious that no one had discovered this room in a very long time except Elayne. She manipulated another part of the wall, and it opened up to the outside. What was even better, it opened up by the corral that Midnight was in. He looked at her, pulled her close, and kissed her before grabbing her hand. He called Midnight over, and they took off avoiding people until they found a road which led to the main road called the North Road.

"You want to feel what it's like when Midnight and I ride, when we go on our runs," he asked her. He could feel her excitement, but also her nervousness. "Elayne, I would never allow anything to happen to you, I promise. Will you trust me, baby?"
