Thread: The Dragon Slayer's Princess (Javorcek X MissMelly)

Ah excellent. A change in topic and now she was sitting a bit away from him. William visibly relaxed now that God seemed to have answer his call and was making this whole ordeal much more easy to handle. Just watching her braid her hair, he seemed to be quite taken with her. The young knight had always been amazed by the dexterity of a womans hands that were so unlike his own clumsy and rough fingers. No I am afraid I have never been to Argis. I hear that it is a beautiful land though. You must miss your home greatly. William smiled gently down at her. While Berges was his country, he had never really had a home. But life on the road made him love to tell stories at least which was excellent in situations such as now. It was how he made friends so quickly everywhere he went. Townsfolk and other warriors would gladly sit down with him and swap war stories and young maidens were always impressed when he told them tales of his adventures. Yes, yesdragons. William chuckled at her surprise. There are many in the mountains, sometimes they come down into the villages when food is scarce. Their hides are softest by the throat. Getting past the teeth, fire and claws is the hard part. Charles is very good at helping me slay themI could never have made it through so many scrapes without the boys help. He knew that humbleness was a necessary quality in a knight. Arrogance just made warriors careless and he wasnt ashamed to admit that Charles was such a god lad and helped him in all of his adventures as his eager sidekick. We fought a Chimera once, hardly ever see those aboutnasty things. Almost as bad as dragons because they breathe fire as well. William jumped a bit at the sound of knocking at the door. What on earth was someone doing here at this hour?! It sounded like the owners wifecome to collect more coin no doubt. He was glad to let Lenia go deal with the nosy old woman, William himself wouldnt have been able to do anything more than to pay her to leave him alone. It was a bit hard not to laugh as Lenia spun the woman a tale about her being his wife. William was her -husband-? The young knight perked up a bit at the thought. Nohed never get married to a princess. Perhaps some other noblewoman one day, but never someone so highly prized as a princess. Besides, she looked about the age where she was surely promised to another man. Probably some pompous prince from another land that didnt know anything about chivalry or honor. William set his jaw a bit, what did a prince have that he didnt?! Oh just lots of a land, a royal pedigree, gold. Alright finemaybe a prince had a lot more than William had. Very good at handling people, arent you mlady? William chuckled a bit as Lenia came back to the bed. He liked that she was here with him and wanting nothing more than to show her. What he wouldnt give to just kiss her and hold her. Now Lenia was staring at himor perhaps he was just staring at her. He couldnt tell anymore. All he wanted to do was lean forward and kiss her, to claim those pink pouty lips for himself and steal her away from whatever man was stupid enough to let her out of his sight. The warm breath on his neck had the burning lick of dragons fire. It was everything William could do to suppress a happy groan that Lenia was so close to him. He could smell her perfume, could feel the heat radiating off of her. And for a moment he was wondering if it were at all possible to make her blood boil any hotter. He really, really shouldnt be doing this. But he couldnt seem to stop himself. Since you would only be dreamingI neednt actually rescue you. William smiled down at her. She was tempting himchallenging him. And if this was going to turn into a competition to see who would break first, he needed to do something to goad her on. A strong arm wrapped around her waist and he pulled her closer to him, letting her body press up against his well muscled form that promised to keep her safe all through the night with its strength. His hands began to roam, stroking and rubbing her back as though trying to soothe her from a bad dream. I only would have to hold youand promise you that you will never come to harm while you are in my care. She was so close nowso terribly close. His dark eyes bore into her own and his mouth was mere inches from the lips that he had wanted to kiss ever since he had first laid eyes on her. He could feel her breath tickling his beard but seemed frightened that he had overstepped his boundaries. He was a knightshe was a princess. Chivalry be damned. If she slapped him across the face for being impetuous then he would just go get himself another room and then escort her back to the castle in the morning. So with a little gulp and a deep breath to help steady himself, William finally closed the distance between them, pressing their lips together in a surprisingly slow, sensual kiss. His free hand came up to her cheek, gently cupping the delicate flesh as though she was something precious as he deepened their kiss, praying that she would not pull away from him.
