Finishing their meal, Aurelia picked up the plates and found herself at the sink again, washing. She would have never thought of herself as the type of woman who would do dishes for a man, but she wanted to and she couldn’t grasp why that was.

She felt arms wrap around her stomach as kisses were placed on her neck, moving from her ear down to her clavicle. Pushing her butt into him, she felt his size and heard him let out a slight groan.

A sudden pounding on the doors of the castle perked them both up. Aurelia turned to look at Noxus, worried. She couldn’t help but smile when she saw him adjusting himself to make it less noticeable.

With a kiss on her cheek, Noxus walked out of the kitchen. She followed closely behind him.

Opening the door, Noxus recognized the two wandering basilisks who stood before him. They were two that had left under his father’s rule, upset with the ways that were in place.

“King, we would like to come back under your rule. We were at the counsel when you spoke with the elders,” the man said as he and the woman behind him bowed their heads.

Noxus opened the door further to invite them in and looked at Aurelia, whose brows were furrowed. He knew she was confused; he hadn’t been able to talk to her about what had happened at court, and he was a bit worried about how she would react to the timeframe they had to get married.

Leaning into her ear, he whispered that he would talk to her about it later. She nodded her head and asked how she could help.

Aurelia was told to go into the washroom and grab a bet setting for a room on the third floor. As she did so, she found herself back in her thoughts. They had called him king, and it had struck her in a strange way. She wasn’t sure how to react. She knew that he was to be a king but had turned it down after his parents had been killed. She couldn’t figure out what was going on, so she shoved it to the back of her mind. She opened the door to the bedroom Noxus had picked out for the two newcomers.

Noxus stood talking with the man and the woman as Aurelia started to make the empty bed. She felt a hand on hers. She looked up and saw the woman.

“Let me do that,” she said with a small curtsey.

Aurelia glanced at Noxus, who had a smile on his face. She nodded her head and took a step back to allow the woman to make the bed.

Finishing, the woman told Aurelia that her name was Astrid. Aurelia shook her hand gently as Astrid did another curtsey.

The man stepped forward and introduced himself as Orin as he gave a bow.

The feeling of both Aurelia and Noxus were profoundly different. Noxus was struck with pride that Orin and Astrid had accepted Aurelia. Aurelia felt as if she didn’t belong. She was unsure what was happening and didn’t enjoy the feeling.

The day wound up as Orin and Astrid were shown around the castle. Noxus had led, hand in hand with Aurelia.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Saying their goodbyes and goodnights, Astrid and Orin found their way back to their own room for sleep.

Noxus watched Aurelia as she finished washing the dishes she had started before the others had arrived. He felt guilty that he had not told her what was happening.

She finished the dishes and made her way to Noxus’s side, looking at him with longing and question.

He grabbed her hand, leading her out of the kitchen and up the stairs. He didn’t want to sleep separate from her but didn’t want to take away her own place.

“Can I sleep in your room?” Aurelia asked against her better judgment; she knew that he had already faulted from his own beliefs, she felt horrible about possibly breaking more.

Picking her up in his arms in one motion, Noxus smiled as he walked to his bedroom and placed her gently on the bed.

She found herself breaking the silence again, “Can you tell me about court?”

Noxus sat next to her and took her hand in his. He wasn’t completely prepared for this conversation. He told her of what had happened at court, that he had taken his place as king to keep her in their realm, and that they had given them a year to be married.

Instead of the shock or sorrow that he thought he would find on her face, he found a smile that met her eyes.

“Is this your way of asking me to marry you?” Aurelia asked with a smirk.

Noxus let out a sigh, “No. You deserve a better proposal than that.”

Aurelia reached for his head and met him for a kiss.

“So Orin and Astrid are wandering basilisks?” she asked.

“Yes, those were wanderers pledging their allegiance to us. They will stay with us until we can get more places rebuilt for them. They will be a part of our pit.” He paused as he thought of how to explain the situation. “Even before the war, some Basilisks did not agree with my father’s rule as the way of life for our kind. He was very old-fashioned. We lost several good members because of that. Some searched for other Basilisks to join with no luck, and some went and lived with the humans. None can repopulate without a king and queen as their leader, though.”

Aurelia nodded her head as if she understood. She didn’t, though. She didn’t completely understand the ways of life of basilisks. She wasn’t part of this; she wasn’t an Otherworldly, let alone a Basilisk.

“My king?” Aurelia said as she broke from her thoughts.

Noxus looked at her with the darkness in his eyes that she had seen earlier that day. The name she had just called him filled him with a feeling he had never experienced before.

“Take me again, please.” She wasn’t requesting; it was a command.

Even with the soreness within her from earlier that day, she wanted him. She needed him.

He pushed her to her back and climbed on top, slowly removing each piece of her clothes before she lay naked before him.

“You are perfect.” He said before taking her mouth in his as he started undressing himself.

Positioning himself between her legs, he played with her pussy with his fingers. Using her juices dripping from his hands, he lubricated himself as he jerked his cock up and down a couple of times before placing it at the entrance of her.

He pushed in slowly, allowing Aurelia to feel every inch of him. Then he slowly pulled out and pushed back in over and over in a rhythm that felt a different type of good than compared to earlier.

Picking up the pace, Noxus thrust harder and faster, causing her fingernails to find his back and scratching it down the length of it.

Her pussy tightened around him, eliciting a loud moan. He covered her mouth to ease the volume before coming himself. She felt each pulsate of his cock within her and felt bliss.

They couldn’t get enough of each other; they felt the pull between them and melted into each other.

As Aurelia felt her body come down from the high she had just experienced, she nuzzled further into his chest.

“Since I’m not your queen, am I able to get pregnant?” Her longing would have embarrassed her a week ago, but now it just felt right.

Noxus lifted her chin to look into her eyes. “You are my queen. You will always be my queen.”

He kissed the top of her head before they snuggled even closer. She noted that he hadn’t answered her question completely, but the thought of that overwhelmed her with the thought of being a queen. She had never expected her life to go this way, and while she was extremely happy, she wished more than anything she could share all of this with her sister.
