Just Because I Am A Prince Doesnt Make My Life A Fairy Tale. / From Day!

Just because I am a prince doesn’t make my life a fairy tale. / from day!

“I…” Anne’s words trailed off as she tried to formulate a reply that didn’t sound entirely ignorant. She knew that lives were rarely fairy tales, even for those with the world at their fingertips. She had been one, once upon a time, but even then her life had been far from magical. “I did not mean to make it sound as though you were living a fairy tale. I merely meant that it must be rather freeing to live such a life. A life of freedom and luxury. That's all I meant."

Troy Saga ❛  do what i say and you'll see them again.  ❜ ❛  what do you live for? what do you try for?  ❜ ❛  say no more, i know tat i'm ready.  ❜ ❛  the blood on your hands is something you won't lose.  ❜ ❛  is the price i pay endless pain?  ❜ ❛  something feels off here, i see fire but there's no smoke.  ❜ ❛  we should try to find a way no one ends up dead.  ❜ ❛  why should we take when we could give?  ❜ ❛  i see in your face, there's so much guilt inside your heart.  ❜ ❛  have you forgotten the lessons i taught you?  ❜

The Cyclops Saga ❛  it's almost too perfect, too god to be true.  ❜ ❛  what gives you the right to deal a pain so deep?  ❜ ❛  your life now is in my hand.  ❜ ❛  remember them, we're the ones who carry on.  ❜ ❛  what good would killing do when mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to use?  ❜ ❛  i am your darkest moment.  ❜ ❛  i don't know where i went wrong but i warned ya', and you failed the test.  ❜ ❛  that's just like you, why should i be surprised?  ❜ ❛  unlike you, every time someone dies i'm left to deal with the strain.  ❜ ❛  i'll remind you i saw you as a friend but now we're done.  ❜

The Ocean Saga ❛  at this rate, we won't make it out alive.  ❜ ❛  please don't tell me you're about to do what i think you'll do.  ❜ ❛  yes, but how much longer til your luck runs out?  ❜ ❛  you rely on wit, and people die on it.  ❜ ❛  you're like the brother i could never do without.  ❜ ❛  and suddenly you doubt that i could figure this out?  ❜ ❛  keep your friends close and your enemies closer, never really know who you can trust.  ❜ ❛  'cause the end always justifies the means.  ❜ ❛  do you know who i am?  ❜ ❛  you are the worst kind of good 'cause you're not even great.  ❜

The Circe Saga ❛  whatever you need to say can wait some more.  ❜ ❛  there's no length i wouldn't go if it was you i had to save.  ❜ ❛  wouldn't you like a taste of the power?  ❜ ❛  don't thank me friend, you very well may die.  ❜ ❛  did you do something to them?  ❜ ❛  if you make one wrong move, then you're done for.  ❜ ❛  you and i are now evenly matched.  ❜ ❛  you've given me no reason to bestow you with my trust.  ❜ ❛  who's to say, with the mistakes i've made that they will be the last mistakes i ever make?  ❜ ❛  this is the price we pay to love.  ❜

The Underworld Saga ❛  all i hear are screams, every time i dare to close my eyes.  ❜ ❛  i no longer dream, only nigtmares of those who've died.  ❜ ❛  when does a man become a monster?  ❜ ❛  now you tell us our effort's are for nothing?  ❜ ❛  how has everything been turned against us?  ❜ ❛  do i need to change?  ❜ ❛  i'm the only one whose line i haven't crossed.  ❜ ❛  what if i'm the problem that's been hiding all along?  ❜ ❛  what if i've been far too kind to foes but a monster to ourselves?  ❜ ❛  if i became the monster and threw that guilt away would that make us stronger?  ❜

The Thunder Saga ❛  you wouldn't have spared me. i made a mistake like this, it almost cost my life.  ❜ ❛  i've got a secret i can no longer keep.  ❜ ❛  you know that we are the same.  ❜ ❛  we must do what it takes to survive.  ❜ ❛  tell me you did not know that would happen.  ❜ ❛  if you want all the power, you must carry all the blame.  ❜ ❛  how are we supposed to trust you now?  ❜ ❛  how much longer must i suffer now?  ❜ ❛  someone's gotta die today and you have got the final say.  ❜ ❛  please don't make me do this.  ❜

The Wisdom Saga ❛  you've made your worst mistake here.  ❜ ❛  this cruel world doesn't give out presents just for being good.  ❜ ❛  you're my friend, i couldn't ask for more.  ❜ ❛  did you know you talk in your sleep?  ❜ ❛  i'm what you want here, i'm what you need here.  ❜ ❛  you don't know what i've gone through.  ❜ ❛  i know your life's been hard, i'll stay inside your heart.  ❜ ❛  life would be so much worse if you had died.  ❜ ❛  you dare to defy me, to make me feel shame?  ❜ ❛  no one beats me, no one wins my game.  ❜

Deeply Exhausted Starters

"You can barely stand, you need to lie down."

"When's the last time you slept?"

"You're not fooling me, I can see the bags under your eyes."

"Rest is not optional!"

"You promised you wouldn't stay up all night reading."

"I'm just - exhausted - I'm sorry -"

"I can't remember the last time I slept."

"I just want to rest for a bit."

"I'm so tired, I can't think."

"I'm trying, I am, I just... I just wanna lay down..."

"No, I'm not tired. Leave me alone."

"It doesn't matter, I can't sleep anyway."

"Leave me alone, I'm an adult, I choose when I go to bed."

"Oh, like you're any better?"

"I'm not even that.. that tired, I'm... mm, I'm fine."

Her mind is blurry, clouded over with a haze of longing as his hands graze over her skin. She'd imagined what this moment might feel like for longer than she'd care to admit, but it would never have matched up to the reality of it. His rough hands trailing over her soft skin was a chaotic mixture.

She moans into his mouth as his hands find their way between her legs and she slinks her arms around his shoulders to steady herself. It had been nearly a decade since she'd last been with a man and Anne can't help but think all the waiting had been worth it. She doesn't know if she'd be strong enough to wait again, but she wouldn't have to. Not anymore. She knows she would've contained herself if he hadn't wanted this. If he had been perfectly content just going to sleep fully dressed, she would've cherished it just as much. But there's no denying she had hoped for this sort of ending. That she had prayed for this sort of blessing on their wedding night.

"John." His name slipped out as she hitched a breath, craning her neck to the side to allow him more ground to cover. She felt dizzy, her heartbeat erratic as each circle of his fingers brought a wave of pleasure. After she grew content with his lips on her chest, Anne reached out to take his face in her hands, leaning in to place a tantalizingly brief kiss to his lips. "Show me how much you want me."

Lifting his arms, John helped shrug out of his shirt. He could feel Anne's bare legs brush against his bare middle and the sensation of her skin over his was maddening, but when her hand trailed between them, his brow furrowed offering a painless wince when her fingers brushed over the scar on his abdomen, but then her soft hands were overs his and any transgressions were forgotten, all his focus remaining on her as he was malleable under her touch.

"Hopefully I can live up to your expectations."

He stifled a laugh, swallowing thickly as she guided his hands upward, his calloused hands skimming over her smooth curves -- up her thighs, over her hips -- and with each movement, the hem of her shift was forced to rise with them. He couldn't help but stare as she exposed more of herself to him. She was beautiful, there was no other word to describe her, no other image to compare to her from artwork, from the likes of poetry.

He was faintly aware of the blush burning in his own face; he felt warm, heated, an acute ache of want settling all throughout him.

When Anne guided his hands to rest over her breasts, John shifted uncomfortably beneath her, his breeches becoming more restricting by the second; instinctively, he leaned forward to kiss her, grazing his thumbs over her hardening nipples but that was when his eyes flickered to hers, almost startled to meet her gaze.

"I'm afraid so. Terribly in love." He grinned faintly, "I don't think there's a world in which I wouldn't have loved you."

"Anne..." but her name was more a moan than speech as he released her just long enough to lift her shift the rest of the way from her form so she was bared to him and he closed the space between them, capturing her lips in a hungry kiss, one hand remained anchored to the back of her neck, the other slipping between her legs. The slick that awaited him made him groan into her mouth and breaking away, he trailed open mouthed kisses across her throat, wanting, needing to taste more of her, all the while rubbing slow, meticulous circles against her clit.
