lonely sentinel

They walk through a special narrow path Lyn was wondering what was on his mind but she wasn't nervous at all as long as he wasn't angry she was safe with him.

And probably follow him to the end of the world without blinking twice. Soon they arrived and Jetaime watches her every reaction. The spot took her breath away.

She shut her eyes at first to inhale the most amazing smell of nature. She gently let the robe around her neck slip off into the ground and she enjoyed the coolness of the night air on her face and soft skin.

She could smell the freshly cut glass, the sweet scent of jasmine, the sound of crickets chirping in the distance, and the rustle of leaves in the wind They were on the balcony of the king's chamber but she has a sharp nose and ears. It was magical and she felt at her best. The best she had ever been in her life and yet that wasn't what he wanted to show her.

"Here open your eyes," Jetaime whispered close to her ears and she could feel his hot breath in her face, she opens her eyes slowly to see him pointing to the skies, she carefully follows his gaze and she froze.

Her eyes glitters as she stares into the skies, the stars as bright as diamonds around the lonely sentinel moon yet it didn't stop its silver light from shining.

"It's magical isn't it," Jetaime whispered.

"It's breathtaking and yet holds the secrets of the unknown. What will be or wouldn't be? It looks like the moon is utterly lonely but actually, it is never alone," Lyn whispered in a daze as she fixed her gaze on the skies. She has never seen the moon up so close in her life.

"Why," Jetaime hissed. "Why not, it shines so well on its own, it perfection on its own. Look at all the stars in the skies to think they won't even shine without the moon because the moon guards the darkness. A vast, endless, and unknown universe beyond the human eyes," Lyn mumbled turning to look at Jetaime while he smiles at her logic.

He always thought he was alone as the moon in the skies. But a lot of people depended on him, he might feel alone but never alone. There are people rooting for him in Secrets. If not the night could do away with the stars. He thought and smiles while Lyn finds him more attractive than the diamonds of the night.

"What is this place?" Lyn asked while breaking their eye contact.

"My secret hideout, see those glasses, they make the skies close to us. Most of the time I spend my nights here contemplating the many questions of the kingdom under these great lights," Jetaime hissed as he tugs a strand of hair behind Lyn's ears brushing her face gently with his hand. They both smile looking at each other.

"Well, it's beautiful, thanks for sharing it with me. Can I come here anytime I feel like it?" Lyn asked with a puppy eye looking at Jetaime who took his time to answer. He held her hand gently and Lyn felt a strange feeling in her body, a feeling she was new to and couldn't even explain why she was having them.

Jetaime picks the robe from the floor as he leads her to seat on the chair. He wraps the robe around her. "Don't catch a cold," he whispered adjusting the robe well around her neck.

"Can I not?" Lyn asks sadly. "You can," he said with a smile, Lyn was too excited and the next thing she did without thinking about it was wrapping her hand around his waist laying her head on his chest, closing the gap between them. Jetaime smile. He was glad she hugged him.

"That means you will always share my chamber with me?" Jetaime broke out making Lyn realize she was actually hugging him.

"What," she hushed sitting up straight. "The only road to this place is through my chamber," Jetaime said with a teasing eye.

"Ah, is that so? Well then can we stay here for a little longer," she mumbled.

"Okay, we shall or we can also go back and do the marital act, which is more magical I was told," Jetaime hissed leaning forward to her taking in her beautiful scent.

"Arh, marital act? What could be more magical than this?" Lyn asked straightening her back to look at Jetaime.

"Yes,"

"I see," Lyn fakes a smile.

"You do know what the marital act is right?" Jetaime asked again staring at her cute reaction and trying so hard to come up with an answer.

"..."

"No?" Jetaime asked as she nods her head. Did they not teach her anything?

"Well then let me ask you. How do people make babies?" Jetaime asked.

"Arrh. Well, I guess it happens on a marital night I suppose when the wife and husband perform their marital duties to each other," Lyn explain, she was glad she remembered what Demelza told her on their bridal night.

"I see, and do you know those duties?" Jetaime asked again.

"Are you suggesting I perform my marital duties to you?" Lyn asked creating more space between them.

"Arhhh, " Jetaime hissed running his hand through his hair and sighing. He gives up. She was absolutely clueless in that as much as he finds that cute it was going to be a long journey of explaining and that was frustrating.

"Forget I asked, " Jetaime hissed.

"Are you angry?" Lyn asked.

"No,"

"You are, you look angry. I asked you if you want me to perform my marital duties to you?" Lyn asked again this time around on her feet.

"I'm not mad and not asking you to perform your marital duties to me at least not now," Jetaime said calmly.

"At least not now? So you want me to perform my marital duties to you and you are angry too. Look at you, you are sweating," Lyn said in one breath more nervous than Jetaime was.

"Do you want to?" Jetaime throws the question back to her.

"No, I don't think I want to bore you an heir, well perhaps not now," Lyn answered back.

"Fine, it's settled then and I'm not angry this is what happens when one...just forget it," Jetaime throws in the towel, she won't understand anyway. Lyn will do anything not to see him angry. She has never been scared in her life but she was always terrified when Jetaime was angry.

"Come here," Jetaime hissed forcing a smile and hiding the burning desire that was building up in his body. Lyn obeyed and sat next to him.

"I'm not angry alright so don't be scared," Jetaime said setting her head gently on his chest, Lyn's heart was thumping in her chest but she lie there calmly.

"Will you tell me what the marital act is ?" Lyn asked softly breaking the long silence.

"It's the kind of act couples do, it kind of brings them together you know close together and having an intimate relationship, " Jetaime said choosing his words carefully in order for her to understand and above all not scare her.

"I see, like now?" She mumbled innocently. Jetaime didn't know how to tell her there was more to that and more touching in specific places and all that.

"Well yeah kind of, but there is more to that," Jetaime hissed patting her head gently.

"More?"

"Yes, like more intimate," he said holding her to face him as they gaze at each other in the eyes, Jetaime caress her lips, he runs his thumb on her wet soft lips and the other hand behind her neck, Lyn moves to the rhythm of his warm hand around her neck, it was cold and sending a chill to her core. She didn't know what was happening but it was the first time she felt that good and for a quirky reason she didn't want it to stop.

Jetaime and Lyn never broke eye contact, Jetaime lean closer to her face tilting his head to kiss her but Lyn panicked wondering if they were about to do the marital act. Of course, she can't do that, she is not her sister. Jetaime senses her nervousness and restores to planting a feverish and passionate kiss on her forehead.

"I will tell you about it some other time," Jetaime said with a smile setting her head back on his chest and wrapping his arm around her. He was surprised when she returned it. She hugs him back.

"Shall we go back?" Jetaime asked.

"No, a little longer, " Lyn hushed.

"A little longer then, " Jetaime hissed as they both sit under the great moonlight and stare into the beautiful skies in each other's arms.
