The Emperor's Concubine

Chapter Seventy-Nine

(Warning, Graphic 18+)
--------------------

Cabel kisses me passionately, wrapping his arm around my waist.
He picks me up, holding me against his body as he presses my back into the tree.
I pull away, out of breath.
"C-Cabel-" I call out, cut off by another hungry kiss, "Cabel, what about the ball?"
Even as I try to break away, he refuses to let me go as he continuously kisses me.
"Won't someone come find you?" I breathlessly ask.
He pulls away, hovering his lips close to mine.
"Then I'll kill them for ruining this moment." Cabel's lips hungrily press against mine.

Cabel carries me in his arms, a breeze flowing through my hair.
I pull away to see we're by a balcony of the palace.
The balcony door opens as Cabel's lips meet mine again. He gently places me on the bed, moving on top of me.
I look to see we're in his bedroom, but his lips quickly meet mine.
His tongue entering my mouth to twist and play with mine.
I moan, my breath taken by his passionate kiss.
He pulls away, looking down at me.
"C-Cabel." I breathlessly call out.
He licks his lips, seductively staring down at me.
"How do I stop myself when you look at me like that?" Cabel grins, kissing me sweetly on my hand.
"I..." I trail off.
"Hm?" Cabel kisses my hand, trailing the kisses to each of my fingers.
"We can keep going..." I whisper, embarrassed.
"Keep going, how?" Cabel devilishly looks down at me, his kisses trailing down my wrist.
"I-I want you... So, please don't stop." I whisper, staring back into his entrancing gaze.
Cabel stops kissing my wrist, raising his torso slightly.
He snickers, lowering his head.
"W-What is it?" I ask, feeling my cheeks go warm from embarrassment.
"This is bad... I want to ravage you until you break." Cabel looks back at me.
His eyes lighting up dangerously with his face slightly flushed.
"Can I really continue?"
I nod, embarrassed.
Cabel sits up, untying his tie and jacket, throwing them on the ground.
He quickly comes back to kiss me. His hand moving up from my thigh to waist, before moving to my back to untie the gown.
I unbutton his vest and shirt, overwhelmed with the rapid beats of my heart as I get lost in the kiss.
He sits me up, slipping the dress off.
He touches my hair, taking out the pins holding up my bun. My hair falls down my shoulders as I slip off his shirt.
Cabel pauses, sitting back. His eyes piercing into me.
"W-What is it?" I mumble.
"What do I do? You're too beautiful that I just want to kiss you everywhere." Cabel grins, kissing my chest until moving down my stomach.
His kisses begin to trail lower, hitting a sensitive spot.
I yelp, surprised by the feeling over my underwear.
"C-Cabel!" I exclaim, trying to move away.
His hands grab my thighs, pulling me closer as he continues.
"Cabel, wait!" I call out.
A moan escapes my lips, unable to control myself as his tongue snakes past my underwear to directly lick me.
Something hot grows in me as he roughly plays with me.
"C-Cabel! Ah! I-I can't take it!" I moan, feeling the tingling warm sensation in my core overwhelm me.
I cry out, arching my back as a wave of ecstasy crashes over me. I tightly grip the bedsheets as he continues to lick me.
My legs trembling under his grip, preventing me from getting away from the overwhelming stimulation.
My eyes fill with tears as he continues, my mind blanking.
He releases my thighs, pulling away.
Cabel looks down at me, watching my reaction.
"Not yet." He mutters.
"W-What?"
"I want you to cry out more for me." Cabel gazes down at me, licking his lips.
Cabel unzips his pants, pulling them down as I feel something against my leg.
I jump, startled.
I look to see he's fully nude, my face flushing as I look down at him.
"Ah! W-Wait!" I exclaim, turning over as my face grows hot.
"What's the matter?" Cabel calls out.
He moves, trying to look at my face.
"I-I'm scared." I mumble, avoiding eye contact.
"Scared?"
I nod slightly.
"I-It's so big..." I whine, embarrassed.
Cabel pauses until I hear him release a light chuckle.
"I was going to be gentle, but now I'm really tempted to break you."
Cabel's hand hold my hip, flipping me back over to face him.
"Ah! Cabel?" I exclaim, surprised.
"Can I?" Cabel gazes at me with seductive glistening eyes.
I avert my eyes and nod.
He positions himself closer, angling himself.
I throw my head back as he slowly pushes into me, causing a pain to rip through my body.
"Ah! Wait!" I cry out.
Tears well up in my eyes as I grip his arms.
He stops his movements, cautiously looking at my reaction.
"Does it hurt a lot?" He asks.
I nod, trying to catch a breath.
"We can stop, if it's too painful?"
I look back at Cabel, his cheeks flushed with dilated pupils as he gazes tenderly back at me.
I shake my head.
"No, I want to keep going... I'll endure the pain..." I whisper.
"Are you sure?"
I avert my eyes and nod, feeling the heat rise in my cheeks.
"I-I'll be okay, you can keep going."
"If you need me to stop, tell me." Cabel kisses my cheek, smiling as he holds me close.
He slowly begins pushing into me more.
I grip and scratch at his back, my core beginning to overwhelmingly tingle.
"Take a deep breath. You need to relax more..." He whispers, kissing at my neck.
"I-I can't-"
He cuts me off, sweetly kissing me.
Lost in the kiss, I wrap my arms around his neck.
Suddenly, he thrusts into me, causing me to throw my head back as I cry out.
"Does it hurt?" He asks, kissing my neck.
"I-It does, but I don't want to stop..." I pant, trying to catch my breath.
He kisses me sweetly, waiting for me to calm down.
"Luna, I love you..." Cabel whispers, his face flushed as he strokes my cheek with his thumb.
"I-I love you too..." I whisper, my eyes overwhelmed with tears.
We kiss as he slowly pulls out of me.
I wrap my legs around his waist, a shiver rushing down my spine.
"If you do that, I can't control myself..." Cabel snickers, pulling away from the kiss.
He begins to slowly move, the tingling moving from my core, spreading through my legs.
"Ah!" A strange cry escapes my lips.
I instantly cover my mouth, taken aback at the sound I made.
"What's wrong?" He freezes, looking back as I hide my face.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make that sound..." I whimper.
"Did it hurt?"
I shake my head.
"Then why did you make that sound, hm?" He grins, teasing my slightly.
"I-It... It didn't hurt... It felt good." I whisper, trying to hide my burning cheeks.
Cabel scoffs, chuckling lightly.
He pins my hand to the bed, preventing me from hiding my flushed face.
"How naughty. Do you know what face you're making at me right now?"
I shake my head, biting my lip as I look back at his analyzing gaze.
"Damn it... I can't control myself anymore." He grits his teeth.
Instantly, he pushes my legs up onto his shoulders, beginning to quickly thrust in and out of me.
"C-Cabel!" I cry out, "N-Not so fast, I can't take it!"
Unable to hold my voice back, my moans echo through the room as the sensation grows more pleasurable as he continues.
I scratch at his arms, feeling my eyes well up with tears.
Throwing my head back, my back arches as an intense sensation of heat releases from my core.
His lips quickly meet mine, swallowing my moans as he roughly entangles his tongue with mine.

I open my eyes to a dark quiet room, filled with the sounds of swaying trees, along with the distant sounds of music and laughter.
I slowly push myself up from the bed, looking down to see Cabel's arm around my waist.
My face flushes as I remember our night.
I glance to see I'm changed into a robe, Cabel wearing a matching one.

"Awake?"
Cabel gently calls out.
"Y-Yes, did I wake you?"
"Mhm. Only cause you moved away." Cabel pulls me closer, cuddling me into his chest.
He kisses my forehead, caressing my head.
"C-Cabel?" I call out.
"Hm?"
"I'm a bit parched..."
I hear him sigh as he gazes down at me.
"I suppose I did make your throat dry, from all the beautiful crying out you did." Cabel grins devilishly.
My face heats up at his words.
I quickly bury myself in the blanket.
"D-Don't say such embarrassing things!"
Cabel chuckles, sliding out of bed.
I peek out from a small opening in the blanket, watching him pour a glass of water, bringing it back over to me.
He sits on the bed, gently removing the blanket as he holds out the glass.
"Thank you..." I whisper.
I sit up to grab the glass, but jump as a sharp pain runs through me.
"What is it?" Cabel cocks his head.
"I-It hurts..." I place my hand on my lower stomach as it aches.
"Hm?... Shall I massage it for you?" Cabel cheekily grins.
"N-No!" I snatch the glass from him, my face burning up.
I drink the water, until Cabel leans over to lightly kiss my head.
I stare at him surprised.
"If you have this reaction every time I kiss you, you'll make it hard to stop teasing you." Cabel raises his brow, lightly kissing my lips.
"I'm not trying to... It's just, I'm still confused..."
"About what?"
"Us... I still feel like I can't stay by your side... Do you think we'll be okay?"
"I need to explain everything to you I guess..." Cabel faces me, holding my hand, "I agreed to let you leave being my concubine, to have it be fair."
"Fair?"
"You're the princess of Avris. Regardless of the past, your family heritage is of high nobility. Giving your title back meant I could officially be engaged to you, if you wished, without having issues arise if I married you as a concubine... I had to distance myself before because you were my concubine, and I had no choice but to throw the rumours of you being precious to me off... There was an incident involving you. Cethin and Petunia captured men who were sent to kill you."
"Me? W-When did this all happen?"
"After we got back from Avris, the night after I saw you in the library... You were fast asleep, and they tried to get in through your window. Those ridiculous assassins stopped them, but just threw them off the palace repeatedly. I had to call the gardeners to get rid of all the blood before you woke up." Cabel sighs, amused yet fatigued as he thinks back.
I stare blankly and nod.
"Ah, that's definitely something Cethin would do." I smile lightly, picturing Cethin having a fit.
"I kept this away from you, because you smiled so kindly to me... Every time I saw your smile, it reminded me that word spread of how I slayed everything in my way to get you back. It added more motive for kingdoms to see you as a threat. 'A lowly concubine, who holds a higher place than their princesses' is what they thought."
"What about the proposal? You said you wanted me to be useful?"
"That was half true... I thought about marrying you because I love you, but realized I couldn't... I can't keep you in harms way for my selfish desires. But, being close to me as a concubine meant you would only face more assassination attempts... I couldn't let that happen. The thought of a mistake happening and it costing your life, was too unbearable... I proposed with that reasoning, because I knew you'd be angry. It was wrong of me, but I had to make sure it was known you rejected me, which drew a clear line that you were only in the palace because I captured you. I couldn't continue to love you when there were eyes and ears everywhere. Along the way, my infatuation grew more and I became selfish and greedy." Cabel touches my hair, gazing at my hair wrapped around his fingers. "Lance told me everything about how I made you feel all that time... But, Duke Oslo unblinded me to the truth, showing me how much I actually made you suffer... I had to free you and hoped we would meet on better conditions... I did not however, expect him to carelessly fondle you."
Cabel's brow furrows as his eyes glow ominously.
"I should have just killed him there-" His voice switches to a cold, infuriated tone.
"H-Hey! Don't even think about doing that! He didn't fondle me either." I hold his hand, bringing it to my cheek to cup it.
"Besides... You did more of that anyways..." I mumble, embarrassed as I push my cheek into his hand more.
"I did, didn't I? Oh how the mighty have fallen. I was ready to burn this empire down if you started looking at the duke, with the loving eyes you stare at me with. What will you do to ease my mind?" Cabel grins, kissing the ends of my hair as he gazes up at me.
"A-Apologize?..." I avert my eyes.
"That's it? You won't do anything else?"
Cabel moves his body, crawling closer to me.
"W-What are you doing?" I question, backing up.
Cabel pushes me down on my back as he hovers on top of me, gazing down at me predatorily.
"Shall we go again?" Cabel grins.
"W-What?-"
Ignoring my confusion, Cabel locks our lips together, gliding his hand up my body.
