"When your brother is the crown prince of this country the possibilities become greater." Amelia said and leaving at night helped. Would just need to take the trail at the back of the castle she traveled down with her brother. Then Lillith was leaving again. She wasn't going to ask questions but just nodded. "Have fun." Was her response as she slowly stood up.
When Lillith was gone Amelia ventured over to one of the logs she sat on last night. Sitting there Amelia sighed before staring up at the sky. She really hated of being no use. Even Kaya had a job, all she got to do was sit here. At least the fresh air was nice. |
Lillith nodded and waved her thanks. She darted into the trees, looking around and frowning....She was sure she'd see... As she was snatched, she wondered if anyone heard the squeal that left her mouth... ~<3~ It was a few hours later when Noble plopped down next to Amelia. "Gran-gran gave me the afternoon off. You good? You wanna take a bath or you want something to drink?" |
Having sit there for awhile Amelia had completely became lost in her thoughts. So she gave Noble a somewhat horrified look when he sat next to her. That scared her pretty good, she turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Then go do something fun if you got the after noon off. I'm good, if being bored out of my mind is something good." However she wonder why Lillith wasn't back or if she was okay. Last time she was in the woods she got kidnapped, by the person sitting next to her.
|
Noble stared at her for a moment. Was she still afraid of him, then? Deciding this must be the reason for her curt words and scared look, Noble stood and stepped away. "Well, if you are so bored, find something to do. I was given the afternoon off so I could see to your needs and keep you amused." |
Amelia sighed and rubbed her hand through her hair. Noble was amazing at jumping to conclusions. "You could of told me that. Now sit back down. You just scared me, I have been sitting her for a few hours and kind of got lost in my thoughts." She looked up at him. Then shook her head. "I'm not afraid of you..." Stretching her legs Amelia crossed her ankles staring at the ground.
|
"I thought it was obvious!" Noble retorted, moving back next to the princess. "What would you like to do, then? You like horses...would you like to see the ones that pull our caravan?" |
"Not really. " Amelia said with a laugh as he tried to defend himself. "I have no idea. But yes, I like horses. Prefer riding them but it is something to do." With that Amelia stood up waiting for Noble. As she waited she twirled around on her foot.
|
Noble's eyes twinkled once more, "I doubt you'd want to ride these...they are draft horses. To sit on them, your pr-your legs would have to stretch very far...They are called Gypsy Vanners..." As he spoke, the male stood and lead the way to a clearing, vvery close to the camp. Inside, build using the trees as poles and fallen trees as cross poles, were about ten horses and two foals. They were mostly white, with large black spots, however, the stallion that trotted over as Noble whistled was a black beast, clearly taken excellent care of. It's coal coat glossened, and the large white tufts that fluttered and bounced as it trotted were completely free of clumbs and were a startling white. A white blaze covered it's forehead a muzzle, and it's mane and tail were a miixture of black and white. The horse stood about sixteen hands wide, and was massive in width. When it reached the gate, however, it lowered it's head over the railing and snorted softly. "Hullo, Merik..." Noble mummered, rubbing the giants broad forehead, before Merik turned to Amelia, nipping her hair and stomping a foreleg. http://www.vintagevanners.com/images...%20KBC%202.jpg |
"There is more then one way to ride a horse." Amelia tried her best to keep up with Noble. She kept getting distracted by everything around her. That was till she say the horses and he face light up in pure joy. Noble had been right Amelia liked horses along with almost all other animals.
The horse that came trotting over brought a smile to Amelia's face. He was gorgeous, the black luster of his coat was amazing. Amelia turned to look at Noble smiling, "Merik is beautiful." she said until her hair was nipped at. Jumping a little, from being startled because Amelia was jumpy. Quickly she faced Merik with a raised eyebrow. "I would prefer not getting my hair cut..." Amelia had moved closer to Noble. Was not use to such a large horse and seemed to disapprove of her. |
Noble raised an eyebrow, glancing to Amelia and chuckling. It was as if Merik understood as well, for her tossed his head up and whinnied loudly. "He just wants you to pet him...here, he won't hurt you. He's just a big baby..." Noble stepped behind Amelia, taking her hand and raising it to the horse, who lowered his head. The gypsy boy pressed her hand down, petting Merik with it. "See? I know you aren't afraid of a whily horse...yours seemed spirited enough. He's just a bit spoiled..." The male flushed, and licked his lips, realizing he was still holding her hand. He let it go, his dropping down to his sides and Noble glanced away awkwardly. |
Amelia blushed at Noble's touch, the feel of the horses soft coat was nothing compared to the warmth of his hand. Too hide the blush even when his hand was gone Amelia brought up her other hand to pet Merik. "You haven't truly met my horse then, spirited is a downcast for that studs attitude." She said with a laugh. If only Noble could see the chaos her stallion was causing. Thinking about her horse, Amelia used it to distract herself of Noble. Her attention was now on the horse before her. Giving him all the affection she had bottled up from Noble's touch she let out on Merik. Hopefully, the gypsy boy would do something like that again. Didn't know if she would be ably to hold herself back.
"I'm guessing he is your horse?" Amelia asked Noble. For some reason Merik reminded her a little of Kaya. Which only made her laugh and smile at the horse. |
Noble continued gazing at the trees when he answered, "Technically, he belongs to all of us, but yes. He pulls my caravan, come to me, I feed him and groom him." He shifted, standing a bit closer and stroking the horses neck. "Lillith is going to repair you dress, and I found your corset earlier today, so you'll be all ready to leave. The letter was delivered early this morning...You don't seem very princess like, though." |
Amelia swallowed slowly as Noble came to stand closer to her. She tried to hold back the blush that threatened to heat up her face. That was till Noble commented when she wasn't much of a princess. Crossing her arms under her chest she looked up at him with surprise. "And what is so wrong with that? Would you rather I acted pompous, annoying and looked down on you. It seems to anger you when people do." Really Amelia used her anger to look at Noble. If the letter was sent she would be leaving soon.
|
Noble stared at her, "Of course not. I just mean you don't act like that now, not that it's a bad thing." God, why did her eyes look like that? In an effort to avoid her eyes, Noble's gaze fell to her lips. Before he could think, he'd bent down, pressing his to Amelia's gently. |
Amelia's face heated up in an instant along with the rest of her body. The kiss was so different from the first, it caused her heart to flutter. This time though Amelia kissed the gypsy boy back, drawn by how good it felt to have his lips against hers. It was going to be hell to leave this hot blooded fool now. His gentle kiss ensnared Amelia to allow her feelings to poor out. Ones she didn't even know she possessed.
|
Noble was astonished. Amelia was kissing him back! He straightened just a bit, though he didn't remove his lips, instead deepening the kiss. His hands lifted, gently cupping her face. Lust roared through him, unbridled and unchecked. He wanted this female. There was no way he could have her for a wife, and honestly, he didn't even know he well enough for anything further than a romp, but Noble decided then and there he'd have the princess before she left... |
Amelia hadn't known what came over her, as her lips pressed against Noble's with a strong desire that raged through her veins. She knew this wouldn't change anything between them. Yesterday she had wanted to remove his head. Now what she told Lillith and their grandmother was a lie. Leaving her a virgin was most likely inevitable.
With his new found passion a light in her, her hands went to rest on the gypsy's chest. Even if she hadn't acted like it before, Amelia was a novice at this. So she was leaving everything up to Noble, hoping his words of being experienced weren't said out of anger. |
Elated to recieve the response he did, Noble ran his tounge over her lips quickly, before his lips released her. His thumb replaced his lips, running over Amelia's. He stared at her for a moment. "Beautiful little dove of mine..." That was muttered before Noble tilted her head gently. His lowered once more, kissing along her jawline, finally stopping and licking her neck. Noble began to suckle gently, his hands continuing to caress her face. |
Amelia was left with her lips parted open slightly, her minded had clouded over long ago. She could only stare back at Noble with eyes glazed over in anticipation for what he did next. His voice that was of soft velvet, sent her heart fluttering and her temperature rising.
What he did next though did not disappoint. Every kiss sent a jolting shiver up her spine causing her to press her body into his. A soft mewl escaped her lips, painting her cheeks a cherry red. Only to end up gasping, "Noble..." Amelia pressed the side her face into his hand that caressed her face so fondly, elongating her neck. The pleasure she was feeling was intoxicating making her desire grow. |
Noble groaned, rubbing his cheek against her soft neck. He nipped her ear, before Amelia called out for him. A jolt of pleasure shot through the gypsy's body, and he began rougher, finally pulled away. "Princess, I wa-" He frowned, his words sinking in. Noble released her and stepped backwards. She was the princess...no matter what he wanted, it was wrong of him to take it from her. She'd be leaving in a few days. And, she didn't belong in his world. Didn't belong in those clothes, didn't belong in his arms. And most certainly, Amelia didn't belong in his bed. Noble licked his lips, tasting the sweet mark she'd left there and shuddered. He looked away and leaned against the railing once more. "We should get back." Yes, back to other people, who would keep him from acting foolishly. |
Once the connection was cut Amelia slowly came back to reality, the reality of how foolish she was. No matter how much she desired to stay in this world, or the gypsies body. It wasn't hers for the taking, she didn't belong. In a few days she would be home and getting married off to some Duke to be his trophy wife. Either way she wasn't upset with Noble for doing that more along the lines of thankful.
Cautious steps were taking as she closed the distance between them and used him looking away as an advantage. Quickly before he realized Amelia placed her hand against his bicep for support and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you gypsy boy." And with that she started walking back, disappointed but unwilling to show it. |
Noble's eyes widened, at her touch and kiss, and he lifted a hand to his cheek as she moved away. Merik knickered, and the gypsy glanced at the horse with disapproval. "Don't look at me like that." He moved after Amelia slowly. Thank you...for what? For almost taking her in the middle of a bunch of horses? And, hadn't he heard something in the town below about her getting married? "H-hey, princess. Aren't you engaged or something?" |
Amelia couldn't contain her surprise at the question Noble asked. Stopping in place she couldn't help but laugh. Engaged... That brought a smile to her face. Then she looked over at Noble, letting out a few more laughs she took a deep breath. It would be rude not to answer him. "More like bought, gypsy. My world is different then yours. People don't get married for love, they do it for personal gain. I'm just a pretty accessory for the man to make him look good and will allow my father more power. I had no choice in it along with the rest of my life" She couldn't help but rant slightly, her dislike for home was astonishing. But thinking about it made her realize why she liked being with the gypsies. The loneliness Amelia felt had faded. They ate together, sang, dance. While she was tied to a chair being yelled at to sit properly and was always in lessons for things she didn't like.
|
"Well..." Noble frowned, "At least you will have a warm bed, food everyday, pretty jewels and dresses. Anything you could want." He paused, "And gypsies don't marry for love, not always. Take Lillith...she's gotten it into her head she loves this boy in the town. She can't have him." Like I can't have you... The words were unspoken, though they seemed to hang in the air. "Why don't you wish to marry him? He must be titled, yes?" |
"Noble, I don't want any of that!" Amelia sighed holding her head slightly looking at him with only pain in here eyes. Making the only thing that interested Amelia was the tidbit on Lillith. It would explain why the girl ran into the woods all the time, but it worried her that it was a towns boy. The whole thing of not having him didn't worry her, it was the danger it brought along in trying.
"As surprising as it may be he is as practically the age of your grandmother. His son is my age and when he dies I'll just get passed down. Oh and on top of that I'll probably never see my family again. My title as princess will fade away into the background never to be spoken of again. I don't have family...Titles mean nothing when they can be disposed of. So I don't care if he is or not..." Amelia let out a frustrated groan, it aggravated her thinking about it. "I much prefer not wearing 11 things to make up a stupid dress. You try caring a metal cage around on your waist. That dress of mine is just the undergarments...." |
