Chapter 15 - The Bath
After kicking their shoes to the side, Kamryn unzipped Anna's dress and let it fall to the floor. He then took the pins out of her hair, letting it cascade down her back. He stepped back and looked at her in nothing but her white lace panties. "As much as I loved the dress, I like you wearing nothing but these panties even better." Anna blushed as he stared at her. She looked at him in his suit and smiled.
"I don't want to be the only one standing here with nothing on. Let me get you out of that suit." She reached up and pulled his jacket off. After throwing it on the bed, she started unbuttoning his shirt. When she was done and his shirt was gone, she ran kisses over his chest and abdomen, making him suck in his breath. She then took off his pants, leaving him in nothing other than his boxers.
"Now it's fair." She said, rubbing her hands over his muscles, liking the hardness and warmth against her palms. Kamryn bent down and kissed her while picking her up, so she wrapped her legs around his waist. He carried her into the bathroom and put her back on her feet.
He turned the water on and added some bath oil and bubbles he had never used. They took off their last pieces of clothing, and he helped her step in. Kamryn sat down first, and she sat between his legs with her back resting against him. "The dinner wasn't as bad as I had expected. I'm glad your family seems to have accepted me." Anna said softly as Kamryn massaged her shoulders.
"I told you they would come around. It helped that Elsie is the way she is. My parents don't tolerate people like that in the palace. I feel sorry for Micah for having her as a mate. I hope he rejects her so he can find someone more suitable." Kamryn thought about his quiet brother with the witch and shook his head. That would be bad all around.
"What happens when mates reject each other?" Anna asked. She could never imagine rejecting Kamryn. He was her lifeline.
"They will feel an immense amount of pain. Typically the one being rejected feels the most pain if they don't want to accept the rejection. If it's mutual, they will still hurt, but not as much. It can even lead to death, depending on the bond's strength. For example, if you suddenly rejected me, it would probably kill me." He wrapped his arms around her, shuddering at the thought of not being with his angel.
"Don't even think about that. I will never reject you. So if Micah rejects Elsie, she will feel the pain, but he won't as much, so he would be able to start over with someone new?" Anna tried to process this. Everything was so complicated. She was lucky Kamryn was such a fantastic mate. Otherwise, he may have rejected her when they first met as a girl with no name or background; she didn't have much to offer. Hopefully, that will change soon, and she will know who she is. "There's an opportunity for a second chance mate. If you reject your fated mate, you may find a new one that has also been rejected. Micah could also find a chosen mate. If he falls in love, he can mate with that person, and once they mark each other, they will be mates." Anna frowned.novelbin
"If this person mates with Micah, what happens if she crosses paths with her fated mate?" She asked curiously.
"Once someone mates with their chosen mate, the ties to their fated mate are broken. As long as they had never met prior to marking another, nothing will happen to them. Her fated mate would be fated to another or find a chosen mate." Anna shook her head. It was too much information for a late-night conversation. She had more important things she wanted to do. She moved away from Kamryn and turned around, so she was facing him.
"Enough talking." Anna brought her mouth to his as she straddled his lap. This was a new position for her. She had never taken the lead, but she felt empowered now. She slowly lowered herself onto him. Kamryn had been pleasantly surprised when she took the lead. Once he was fully in her, they paused to get used to the feeling. He looked into her grey eyes that were dark with desire. As she started riding him, he pulled her to him sliding his tongue into her mouth.
Anna couldn't believe that it felt like he was even deeper inside her in this position. While she continued to ride him, he started kissing her neck, and she tipped her head back, moaning in pleasure. She had so many sensations running through her body Anna had never felt more alive. When he put his mouth on one of her nipples and began sucking, she increased her rhythm. She soon felt the familiar pressure beginning to build in her lower abdomen. They came together in a shuddering explosion.
Neither could move for a few minutes. It was their most intense orgasm yet. Kamryn kissed her face as her breathing started returning to normal. Her eyes looked glassy as she peered up at him through her long eyelashes. He felt his breath catch. She had never looked more beautiful than she did when looking up at him in satisfaction.
"That was incredible. I think I like that position the best." Anna said against his lips.
"Are you ready to get out? I would like to show my mate how much I love her before we fall asleep from exhaustion." It was their first night in the palace, and they'd had a five-hour run. Even though they were tired, Kamryn wasn't ready to sleep yet.
"I'm ready to get out. Although I'm going to want to take a lot more baths with you." Anna stood up and grabbed a towel. She carefully stepped out of the tub, and Kamryn did the same. When they were dried off, they went to the other room, and she noticed their clothes were no longer on the floor or bed. Someone had been in to clean up. It made her a little uneasy knowing someone was in the bedroom while they were in the bathtub.
"Who put our clothes away?" She asked as they walked to the bed.
"Probably one of the maids." Anna frowned.
"Do they come in whenever they want? That feels like an invasion of privacy." She looked up at him, suddenly feeling exposed.
"Typically, they knock and peek in to see if anyone is in the room. I'll lock the door so they know to leave us alone." Kamryn locked the door and then walked back over to Anna.
"Thanks. I don't want anyone popping in when you're making me go out of my mind." He smiled down at her before kissing her soft lips.
"Anything for my angel." He lifted her up, so she was sitting on the bed. Anna shifted when she felt something under her bottom and jumped back off.
"There's something on the bed." She said as she pulled back the blankets. Underneath them were all the pins that Kamryn had taken out of her hair. The tiara hairpiece was also there broken in half.
"Who would do this?" Kamryn said half to himself. The only person they could think of was locked in a holding cell. Anna noticed the closet door was slightly ajar. She walked cautiously over and pushed the door open. She gasped when she looked inside.
"Kamryn." She said quietly. He ran to her side and couldn't believe what he was seeing. Every piece of her new clothing had been ripped to shreds. The dress she had worn to dinner was lying on the floor, torn to pieces. All of his clothes hadn't been touched. Whoever had done this was clearly targeting Anna.
