Autumn Romance

Queen Melody was very quiet these days and prefered to spend her time either in the library or in the quiet garden where she found the kitten. Evey day was like the one before since that fateful banquet a while back.

She came to the door and saw Brian. She smiled for seeing him was one of her highlights of the day.

"I am ready to go to breakfast, Brian." she spoke softly.

"It was better than the last few nights so it is an improvement, thank you. I suppose that you spent the night outside of my door again?" Melody asked softly.

"I still would like to see you sleeping in a bed." Melody spoke as she did a final check on her clothes. She always made sure that she was properly dressed and was always able to pick up something simple from the kitchen before heading up to the library.

"Brian, why is it so painful to be away from me?" Melody paused in her walking and closed her eyes. She was not so sure that she wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Oh Brian......I wish that it could be so......I am a Queen and you are a guard......the best that we could ever hope for is a .....a....lover situation........I'd take you into my bed any time that you wish to join me. I have fallen in love with you for quite some time.....Since that first I kissed your cheek but I don't think that it is wise to have fallen in love with me, ....." Melody turned and faced Brain. The urge to lean against his chest was stronger than before. She looked up at him with sad tender eyes.

"Let's talk in the library......"

Melody walked in and headed towards the back where she was working. She turned and looked up at Brian.

"Brian, I do love you very much and very deeply. I feel a certian bond between us but I am not sure of this bond. It is like no other feeling that I ever had. I am just not sure that we should be this close. I have no desire to send you away. I am not sure that I can do that even."

"Would you accept me as your lover? While it will not come to a promotion, we might become even more closer. Who is to deny us? We are adults and so many sexual goings that I have seen ....you have seen even more." Melody spoke softly as she came up to Brian. She reaches up for his cheek which she careesed gently as her other hand slid around his waist.

"Could you refuse your Queen some loving comfort? I may a Queen but I do have urges and desires like any other female. Would you settle for a special time for just the two of us? Somewhere no one can follow us? Some where I can put my Queenly raiment down and become just a female who desires you and want to love you now and forever? DO you want to even try?"

""Come with me then. " Melody spoke gently as she took Brian's hand. She looked forward and walked up the steps slowly as if she was thinking.
Thinking she was for she was deciding whether or not to invite him to her private sanctuary. Would she get in trouble if she was found pregnant one day? Would she even get pregnant? What were the consequences of what she was about to do?

"Brian, if we go up these stairs, are you willing to share the consequences that might happen. Pregnancy? Possible jail sentence or worse? I am not sure what all the consequences will be but will you accept what ever happens?" she asked quietly at the foot of the stairs.

"Then you must submit to my ruling and do I say for it is for the best. This may seem impossible but follow me if you are able to. Trust me if you are able to. If not, then I can not be yours. This is your trial for my love." she spoke softly. then turned and walked ahead of Brian.

What he would see may be hard for anyone to understand and even harder someone that did not have any magic in themself................................................

A drop stairs came down and a mist surrounded her but anyone with eyes could see that the stairs lead even further upwards than what it should have. As she walked, she undressed starting with her crown then her jewels and as she started to fade away her shoes were left behind. Her dress could faintly be seen before she disappeared into the mists.......

Melody kept undressing until she was at the very top of the stairs where there was a door. All that she had on was a necklace with key and a few other things and her 2 arm cuffs. The arm cuffs were made speical for her. It allowed her to use her magic but not any magic against her. She could only hope that the spell worked for none have tried to use magic against her. Hopefully none will.

She took the key and placed it in a keyhole, gave it a twist then walked inside a room of mirrors. The ceiling and even the floor had mirrors. She walked to the ornate mirror at the far end of the room.

"Mirror standing before me. I bring a man with me. Allow him to come in, let our secret lives begin." she spoke quietly.

The mirror would shimmer for a minute then went clear to show the progress of Brian.

"Brian, hear my voice and do as I ask. Strip off your clothes as you go so that we may see each other unhindered." she spoke calmly even though her heart was pounding from adrenoline.

Melody turned slowly and spoke softly.

"Come to me. This is the room of mirrors. Step on the two mirrors that have silver edging. Yes, you will be wide open legged and so will I. We will see every crack, crevice, bump and lunp on our bodies. Any markings of any kind from tattoos to scars and sores. The mirrors will also show any thing that is hidden in our bodies including our hearts.

They will show our past and present. They will show our intention towards each other. Then finally they will show if there is any chance of us be compatable, even if we are desireous of each other.

What these mirrors won't do is show what we will be like in the future. How long our love will last. Will you take this chance with me?" Melody asked as she stepped on the two mirrors that were 2 feet apart, leaving her neither regions completely open and exposed.

A wind was blowing about suddenly and it blowed in various scenes of their past lives. Once the wind died down a series of pictures of their bodies over several times then it went dark. Colors began to move about for a minute then stopped. the warm colors were surronding them with warmth and desire.

"We have seen the past. We have seen all the parts of our bodies, We are considered compatable. Do you wish to comumate our relationship?" she asked quietly.

((As soon as they get into the bedroom))

"I too, wish for this happen. Come take my hand and come with me." She lead him into a large room where there was a bed at one end. It was heart shaped and had pristine white sheets on it.

If he was to look over to the opposite side, he would see a waterfall that ended in a small pool of water. Scented flowers were floating in the pond and more along the side.

Mirrors were here and there. A sofa in front of the fire place. Thick rugs on the floor was soft and inviting.

"Come to our marriage bed. It has been waiting for us." she spoke softly as she looked up at him, waiting for him to take her for she was now his and his only.

The lights dimmed and timed passed to find Melody waking up in Brian's arms. She smiled and kissed him on the lips gently.

"Hello there, Brian. How are you feeling?" she asked softly, hating to wake him but they had to leave very quickly but would need to take a scented shower.

"Well loved. But we need to sit for a bit in the pool so that the smell will be gone. Then we must leave. It is nearly dinner time. Time passed way too quickly." she spoke as she gently pulled away. T

"We will come again. I promise." she spoke quietly.

Melody looked at the bed where she spilt virginal blood. A solid red heart was left behind. A good sign for their union. She walked slowly and tenderly to the pool. She walked into the pool and sat down next to Brian.

am not sure when we will be able to come again, Brian but you are wonderful in bed. It will have nothing to do with what happens here but what happens out there,

I am only afraid that it will be a bit rough on us in the long run." Melody spoke as she leaned against Brian.

"No cuddling or sleeping together out there. And no disappearing for days at a time. Ok?"

"It would be nice but I am not sure how to get it arranged. One day I hope to go to my own castle. I keep my notes for the most part up here. Next time I'll take you to my work side.

There was a reason besides the deep desire for you to have comsumate...... You might have been killed other wise. You crossed a fine line from the realm of magic and and realm of impossibilities where we are. I am sorry if it came as a surprise to you." she whispered.

"Perhaps we shall talk of the various magics that you have seen. I think that is is time to go, Not that I want to but because of our other things we must attend to." she spoke softly as she stood up and walked out of the tub,

"I think that we have enough time for one more kiss." Melody smiled softly as she slid her arms around his waist then looked for the expected kiss.
