His heart dropped when he realized what had caused it both times. It was thinking about the queen that somehow turned him on so much! He stopped moving entirely as he attempted to process that revelation. How could the thought of Shaka make him feel that way? She was the person who had taken everything from him, her army had obliterated his kingdom and stolen his throne. She robbed him of both his birthright and his dignity and planned to rape him in two days time. If it weren't for her the Orcs would never have come to this land, never have slaughtered his people or destroyed his cities. If it weren't for her that Orc wouldn't have gotten her hands on Delilah... How did he have feeling for her in spite of her reducing him to a powerless sex slave? Hesitantly a thought came to him. It was in spite of it, wasn't it?. It couldn't possibly be... there was no way it could be because of that very fact, could it?
The mere idea was enough was more than enough frighten him to his very core. He quickly decided that he had done enough masturbating for one day and popped the dildo out of his ass a little to swiftly for comfort. He tossed the toy back into the box, not bothering to wipe it off or fit it back into its proper pocket like he usually would. Instead he hurriedly put his pants back on, tucking his still erect penis below the waistband. Slamming the lid to the box shut he picked it up and shoved it into one of the drawers of a nearby cabinet, not wanting to even look at it. It wasn't enough though, he still knew they were in there. They still taunted him. He was pretty sure when Shaka gave them to him she meant it as a gesture of goodwill, but now they had just become a symbol of the hold she had on him. Rather than calming any fears he had, they had simply added a new one to the bunch. He was still afraid of what was happening to him, of what was going to happen, but now he was also afraid of how much he liked it.
He needed more distance between him and the damned toys, he needed some fresh air. He gave himself a minute to allow his boner to diminish and then, making sure he was in proper order, he stepped out of his room for a walk. As he exited the stairwell of his tower into the main grounds of the castle he remarked that it really was a beautiful day. The sun radiated brilliantly down to earth and coated the world in a warm lemony veneer. The sapphire sky, lightly freckled with puffy clouds, seemed especially bright and especially blue as it sat happily in the heavens. Birdsong fluttered through the air and gently wafted along with the breeze, hitting his ears just so as to sing him into a snug reverie like a comforting lullaby. Drawn out into the courtyard by the lovely noises he walked in and out of the shadow of a row of elm trees. Peter enjoyed the temporary coolness that the brief interlude of shadow provided as he passed the thick trees, the leaves of which crumpled satisfyingly under his steps. This at least the queen could not take from him. The Orc forces were unquestionably mighty, but even they could not conquer the day itself.
Eventually the prince wandered over to the royal wardrobe where the seamstresses worked to check on the progress they were making. As he approached the door to the workshop an Orc emerged and squeezed past him, still re-tying the laces of her trousers. Peter just rolled his eyes as she shot him a conspiratorial grin and stepped through the doorway. The Workshop was filled with the now familiar stench of Orc musk which he did his best to ignore. The head seamstress quickly stepped up to greet him, smoothing out her skirts which just a few moments ago had been hiked up around her waist. With her matronly face still flushed from her recent foray she brought him up to speed on their progress with the wedding attire. She explained that his outfit was complete but they were still working on the gown, not only was it a much more intricate and difficult piece but they had also been unable to get the queen in for measurements meaning they had to estimate the dimensions of the garment. She assured him that it would be ready in time for the ceremony and that if it didn't properly fit they were prepared to make last minute alterations.
Finding himself quite satisfied with her work the prince gave her a brief word of praise and left to check up on other matters. Over the next several hours he visited the pantry to observe the wedding cake and the rest of the feast, as well as making sure the fair grounds were being cleared and prepared for the tourney. Walking around the castle and taking to people helped make him feel a little normal again. It helped him forget for a while how he was being forced into marrying a sadistic Orc warlord and seemed almost how things were supposed to be. Of course it was all still there in the back of his mind, he couldn't ignore the myriad of Orcs that littered his path. The people seemed to be adjusting as about as well as could be expected though, many still coward in fear whenever their conquerors were nearby but they were slowly learning that so long as they stayed in line they had nothing to fear. Shaka had ordered her forces not to harm any humans they didn't have to, and if there was one thing the Orcs were good at it was following orders.
The queen seemed to command a great deal of respect among her people. They all stood in rapt attention whenever she was at hand and only ever spoke of her with glowing praise. They spoke endlessly of her courageous deeds and fearless leadership. If Peter had to hear the story of the time she slew a dozen dire bears with her own hands and a broken leg one more time he just might drown himself he thought. Still, even he himself had come to begrudgingly respect her for all she had seemed to accomplish. She had somehow managed to completely unite her entire species into a single cohesive empire, something which took humans centuries of warfare and suffering to achieve. Then, with seemingly no effort at all she had defeated the kingdom of men in less than a year. Despite his personal feeling for her, he had to admit she was an excellent leader.
As he walked down a long courtyard to the side of the main hall he found himself wondering, what were his personal feeling for Shaka? Their first encounter certainly left him with little reason to care for her, he recalled as he subconsciously rubbed his cheek where she had struck him. But she had shown far more restraint that the rest of the Orcs when it came to matters of courtship. She could have easily taken him at any time she wanted as many of her soldiers had done with his people, but for some reason she had decided to wait until they were properly married. But why, he wondered. Perhaps it was just to torture him, to give him more time to dread the unavoidable encounter and allow his anxiety to build to unstable levels. Did she think he would eventually succumb and willingly offer himself to her, preferring to just get it over with rather than live in constant fear? If so, she would be waiting a long time he resolved to himself
But what if that wasn't it? After all, she had given him those dildos so he could make their consummation more bearable, maybe even pleasurable for him hadn't she? Why would she do that if her only goal was to make him suffer, none of it made sense to him. He found the queen very difficult to read, she constantly kept a stony exterior that blocked any emotions or thoughts from escaping her face or body language. He thought more about her face, she had strong yet feminine features that would actually make her quite beautiful if only she smiled more he found himself thinking. Although at the same time, with their large imposing canine teeth, maybe it was a good thing the Orcs didn't seem to smile much. His thoughts traveled lower down her body, her breasts were impressively large even for an Orc he had to admit. He had never seen her wearing a top that quite had enough room for her, with her enticing cleavage always seeming on the verge of escape. Surely she could have some clothes custom-made to fit her better, making him think that she was aware of the issue and either liked to show off or simply didn't care. Next he thought about her abs, all the Orcs were in excellent shape but Shaka seemed particularly fit. When ever she moved you could see the powerful rippling muscles dancing just beneath her skin. He stopped himself before his mind could drift any lower than her abs, he knew what was down there and he wanted no part of it.
Although maybe some part of him did want it, as he realized that sometime during his reminiscing he had begun sporting a full erection! Quickly he slipped behind a pillar before anyone could see him and mentally berated himself for allowing his body to respond in such a way. Sure she was physically attractive, but he knew that she was also the architect of his kingdoms demise. It was practically a betrayal of his species to lust after her. As a prince, he was supposed to exercise a greater amount of restraint he reminded himself. He waited there for what seemed like hours for his excitement to subside, kicking himself the whole time. Just as he was beginning to think he had been permanently petrified he heard a distant sound that made his entire body go flaccid.
