Shameful

Ariana looked up in fright, though she could only see outlines in the dark night in the shade of the tree, the huge arms that surrounded her made it clear who they belonged to.

"Gideon!"

She whispered in relief.

"I know… don't worry, no one can touch you."

When the soldiers caught up with the girl, accompanied by Jerome, the King of Predin impatiently tried to initiate a conversation. In the darkness, only Ariana's blonde hair and golden dress were seen, the man in the black dress standing in front of her melted into the shadows.

"If you would allow a word Lady Violet… I would like to…"

"I won't allow it."

The answer came from Gideon's mouth. The foreign escort stopped from the sound of the deep voice.

"Violet is mine, and I don't want to see her in the company of another man… maybe you understand that, my dear friend."

He continued the sentence with strong sarcasm in his voice.

"Ah… oh… of course, I don't want to bother you."

Jerome was forced to back down.

"They are gone."

The king finally let the girl go.

"Thank you…"

Ariana was glad the incident had taken place in the dark because she was completely blushed by the long tight hug. She could feel her heart pounding so fast, that it would almost jump out of it's place.

'My God… the smell of his skin is driving me crazy… I want to bite into his neck… Ah!'

She tried to calm herself with deep breaths.

"I'm walking you back to your room."

The man walked int he direction of the west wing.

"Thank you very much…"

Ariana followed hesitantly. They were already walking within the walls of the building when the girl became aware of following footsteps. She saw a distorted image of the man following them in the golden vases adorning the hallway, but she recognized the blond hair immediately.

'Jürgen… oh no! '

She raised her hand to her mouth, for now she was not covered by the shadow of the night.

They had almost reached her room, but she knew the man so well, she was sure Jürgen was just waiting for her to be left alone… then he will definitely sneak into her room. She had to act fast…

"Your Majesty!"

She addressed Gideon.

"Hm?"

The king turned unsuspectingly, and she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately. The man then noticed a stranger lurking behind one of the pillars, so instead of saying goodbye after a kiss… he held the girl in his arms and disappeared with her behind the door of the room… indicating that he would not leave her until morning.

Ariana felt like this kiss, she was yearning for so long… would fade away her consciousness. The taste of Gideons lips got her drunk immediately.

Sadly the king broke off the sweet connection after the door closed behind them.

Ariana while panting, grabbed the mans collar… trying to get her composure back, and not to tear the useless shirt apart. Her hands were trembling, when she finally could let go of he king's outfit.

„I'm… I'm sorry…. it… it was only a self-defense…"

She stuttered.

„I saw him… Jürgen, am I right? The blondie…"

The always calm king walked to Ariana's bed, and pulled the rope, which signaled to the maids.

„Don't be afraid, I will leave a few guard in front of your room, and before your windows. No one can sneek is… sleep peacfully."

„ I see… thank you."

Ariana sit down on her bed disappointed.

'I don't want you to leave… I wan't to spend the night with you, in you arms…. Damn it! You drive me crazy, can't you see?'

When the guards arrived, the king left her alone after a mere 'good night'.

„Oh my god… I am such a slut…."

As she tried to drown in her shameful thoughts she leaned on the bed, and fell asleep.
