Twenty-six
Pov Lydia
The princess, Lydia, sat in her royal chambers with a deep sigh. She couldn't seem to remove the memory of Ava's kiss from her mind, and was equally enthralled by it as she was terrified. Memories of their clandestine meeting echoed through her thoughts like a haunting lullaby-so filled with desire that could not be denied, no matter how much she tried pushing them away.
Lydia reached for the rose on the windowsill, breathing in its sweet aroma before pressing it gently against her lips - attempting to relive some fraction of what had passed between herself and this forbidden love just hours ago... yet unsuccessfully. Suddenly, there came an almighty thud outside - frightened out of daydreaming, Lydia jumped up, intent upon finding its source....
"Ava?" asked Lydia timidly, feeling both relief and apprehension at seeing Ava looking back at her when opened as if the door.
"My Lady" Replied Ava, bowing deeply while trying to hide any impression of emotions playing across the character face which would suggest something other than respect brought here today.
Taking courage into heart, Princess stepped closer towards where stood the nursemaid, asking : "What are you doing here?" Quiver, revealing vulnerability hidden beneath Royal composure.
With delicate poise, she replied: "I wanted to see you again since we kissed earlier today ... I know it is wrong, but cannot deny passion felt passionately inside me those moments our skin touched each other's faces ".
Instantly nerve endings tingle causing body flush shy heat ; cheeks reddening embarrassment sending hot swelling chest knowing feelings were mutual ."
With growing boldness, moved close enough, gesture signified appreciated her determination to come despite consequences risked being found together ..." It takes great courage to do such thing ". Whispered softly sadly lest two should never apart …
Then suddenly overwhelmed sensual moment threw arms around neck burying head throbbing pure emotion surged flooded veins culminating gentle joining mouths together ....
Ava tiptoed over and knelt beside her bed, so she could whisper softly into the sleeping woman's ear: "Lydia… my love… I have come here tonight for you…. To give pleasure beyond your wildest dreams… let me bring delight upon us both…."
Ava words caressed every inch of Lydia's body until finally, she stirred awake. Her eyes met Ava's hungrily before they moved down below, where hands tenderly explored each other's bodies through their clothes - teasing out gasps and moans that threatened anyone nearby who might be listening (but no one ever did).
As passion flared between them, tongues delved deeply entwining together as if two separate souls were searching within themselves to find unity again after years apart....
Soon enough, clothing had become unnecessary and haphazard piles scattered across the floor, leaving behind even bolder discoveries and new heights reached at last!
That's when I wake up. I see my maid who must have come to bring me my breakfast. So it was all a dream, what a disappointment.
POV Ava
The next morning I wake up a few minutes before my alarm clock and turn it off, I yawn a little and then can't help but blush thinking about the kiss I had with Lydia yesterday. It probably means nothing to her but I think for a while I won't see her like I used to.
I head into the bathroom and take a cold shower to get her thoughts off my head. Once showered and dressed I go downstairs to get my breakfast and leave my house.
I realise that I have just left my house quite early and there is no sign of Theyla, so I continue on the road until I arrive in front of the school which is almost empty, at this hour people are really not in a morning mood I see.
I wait for a while before I see Ayumi waiting by a tree, she seems to be lost in her thoughts, I wonder what she's thinking. I decide to go see her, but Chloe and Alya precede me and take Ayumi with them before Mei and Ayaka arrive.
"Hi Ava." Ayaka approaches me.
"Hi, let's go to class, the bell will be ringing soon."
"Yes, let's go."
Today we only have basic classes nothing really interesting so during the whole day I try to talk to Ayumi but every time Chloe and Alya stop me which starts to annoy me so I decide to go home once I arrive I go straight to my room.
They start to annoy me Chloe and Alya it's like Ayumi has a guard up that prevents me from getting close to her, they are complicating the mission that Lydia gave me.
****
That's how a month went by where I was trying to get close to Ayumi but still couldn't. Now there was Chloe and Alya in class and outside of class she was being followed by guards.
I was doing missions with Jane's help, I could learn a lot about the job and about her, she was an only child and lived alone with her mother. I even had the opportunity to go and eat at her house, her mother was very nice but they were poor and couldn't afford everything which is why Jane was working at Lexa.
I also trained with Theyla to be a better swordsman. At first it was a little uncomfortable to be with Lydia, but now it's getting better, she told me that the kiss we exchanged didn't mean anything and that we had to keep our relationship as princesses and spies and that it was only friendly and that there would never be anything more. Besides, she didn't give me any other mission except to make Ayumi fall under my charm.
I landed in the fighting pit face first, my mouth flooded with mud. Bruised, I stood on my palms and knees, spitting out the red hot clay.
My stomach churned as I struggled to my feet, wiping my chin with the back of one arm. My clothes were ruined now...
This was not how I had planned to spend my Friday night. Above, my opponent was there, illuminated by artificial lights. Bleachers filled with people surrounded the fighting stage.
The ringmaster, a red-eyed, brown-haired demoness with a pale complexion, dressed in a crimson jacket and a grey-checkered kilt, leaned over the edge of the stage, at least fifteen feet high. To look down on me.
A tattoo with the number 110 on her neck she is part of another criminal group that don't like ours.
"You thought you could rob us?" she hissed.
Lexa always likes to give me complicated assignments, but this one is really easy. In a few seconds I approach the demoness.
She backs away as I approach, but before she can back away my fist already hits her face and knocks her back a few feet.
I have to get even though she ruined my new clothe. I kick her in the stomach right after and break a rib. I see blood coming out of her mouth, it's absolutely not enough.
I use my magic and make my katana appear, and I pierce her with a sharp movement and see her body fall lifeless on the ground.
I remove my blade before wiping it clean, pick up the painting that was on the ground and set off to join Jane.
" Well we finished our mission earlier than expected today" say Jane.
" Yes, what are we going to do now?" I asked her.
" I don't really know."
"Oh I know, come with me I'll take you somewhere"
Jane follows me and I take her to eat ice cream with me.
"Sir can I have two ice creams please"
" Yes of course but what flavor?"
"I want strawberry and you Jane what do you want."
"I would like a mint ice cream"
" Sir, one strawberry and one mint ice cream please"
" I'll bring it right away ladies"
The merchant gives us our ice cream then I pay and me and Jane go out of the shop to sit on the grass while eating our ice cream I think about the fact that Ayumi is getting my mission more harder now.
"What are you thinking Ava? "
"Well, let's say you like a person and every time you try to get close to this person, a lot of people stop you?" Lies.
"I think you should try to get close to this person even if people stop you, love is a difficult thing sometimes"
"Yes, you're not wrong, thank you for your advice Jane"
"And if you are looking for someone I will be there for you." Would she have developed something for me?
"Yes, I'll make a note of it Jane"
Jane comes up to me and gives me a kiss on the cheek and then she hugs me and I hug her back.
" What's wrong with you?" I asked her, stroking her hair.
" Can we please stay like this for a while?"
"Yes no problem"
We stay in each other's arms for 15 minutes during which I take a deep breath of her enchanting perfume. I don't want to stop hugging her but we decide to part and I say goodbye to her and then she goes home and I decide to go for a walk
What am I going to do now .I walk for a few minutes then without realizing it I was right next to Ayumi's house so I decide to knock on her door and she opens it
"Oh hi Ava what are you doing here?" asked Ayumi.
" I just wanted to see you." I said with a fake smile.
"Come in then don't stay out."
She opens the door for me to come in and then we go like last time in the living room
" So how was your day?" I sayed
" Oh normal as usual"
"How about tomorrow you and I go to see a movies, I have two tickets to go and it's the weekend." I will do everything I can to succeed in my mission.
" Yes that would be great"
I give her a hug but my phone rings at the same time and I answer it
Phone conversation:
"Hello"
"Tomorrow night we need you for a mission" say Lexa
"Don't worry I'll be there tomorrow"
" And please don't be late."
"Yes don't worry." I'm never late what is she saying.
I hang up and Ayumi looks at me a bit confused.
" Don't worry it's nothing Well I'll pick you up tomorrow at 2pm you understand"
"Yeah don't worry I'll be ready"
" Well, I'll see you tomorrow so I have to go home."
"See you tomorrow"
I leave Ayumi's house and go home when I get there I hug mommy and eat and then I go see Louise
" Louise I have a question for you"
"Yes tell me"
"I invited someone to go to see a movie with me tomorrow."
"Oh that's interesting, tell me who it is ? "
"I invited Ayumi"
"What?" she says surprised
" I knew you'd be a little surprised by this"
"Just explain the situation to me" she sighs
"Well I've always been in love with Ayumi and even after what she did to me I still loved her just as much and now it's changed she doesn't harass me anymore"
"Yes, I see, but who's say that at any moment she won't betray you ?"
" Don't worry Louise I assure you that everything will be fine and I just wanted to ask you for some love advice."
I'm the one who might break her heart, I'm not afraid of anything.
"Well tomorrow do as you feel like and try to make her as comfortable as possible"
"Yes, thank you for your advice."
Sorry for the spelling mistakes.
