Thread: Rags, Riches, and Rumors [ Bear & LordBesar ]

Theo felt his heart begin to sing as Ermine accepted him as husband and herself as his queen. He knew not why yet, as they had known each other for such a short time. Even so, he already felt the burning of desire and lust for her that no woman had ever inspired within him before. His eyes were full of adoration for her as he reached out and took the coronet. Nodding for her to kneel slightly, he rested the crown on her golden tresses and nodded for her to stand. Taking both of her hands, he took a ring that had been made for her. With a sapphire in silver, he guided it onto her finger and handed her a large gold ring to place on his own finger. Once they had been united with their rings, they turned to face the crowd. And hereby, I give to all Queen Ermine, wife of King Theolious. the priest spoke to the crowd. With the ceremony over, family came to wish the couple well. Irmlia, Karolina and Katjya were some of the first to welcome Ermine into the family. We're so glad to have another sister!!! The younger Katjya beamed as she hugged Ermine. I do hope that Theo does not occupy your time fully, as I wish to know you much better!!! Karolina rolled her eyes a bit and laughed. Do forgive us sister, the elder spoke to their sister in law. Katjya has always wished for another sister. And we all have become quite fond of you already! Irmlia also embraced her new daughter. Do try not to wait to produce children. The Queen mother insisted, much to the embarrassment of her daughters and irritation of her son, who shot her a glare. She ignored him and continued. I would very much like to hold a young one in my arms before my age has limited my movements. Theo smiled but still glared a bit at her. Thank you mother. He replied with a light growl, before sliding his bride away so they might talk with her family for a bit before they all moved to the hall for the dinner of fresh deer that had been hunted and roasted that morning. After receiving the wishes of Ermine's parents and siblings, Theo took her hand and guided her into the castle and the hall where the deer and small feast were waiting. Nothing extravagant as per the bride's wishes. But enough to satisfy the appetites of those in attendance. Most of all Theo, who had a very veracious appetite. Servants quickly came around to serve, and he took an ample share of the deer as well as tomatoes, cheese, and potatoes. Sipping his wine as he nibbled at a bite of cheese, Theo couldn't help but wonder how his young bride was handling the whole event. In just a short time, he would finally have her alone. How are you feeling my dear? He leaned over to whisper in his ear. His deep growl of a voice caressing her ear and his beard so close to touching her. I have a surprise planned for you tonight. Something to....help make you feel at ease. He couldn't help but flirt, and there was an unmistakable tone of innuendo in his voice as his words caressed over her. So far, he'd been a perfect gentleman. Eager to make her happy and listen to anything she had to say. But the man of honor and chivalry had developed a strong ache for his bride's flesh, and he could not hold back the beast within him forever. He wouldn't rush her to his bed, but he had no wish to delay it any longer than necessary. How might she liked to be touched? Perhaps a gentle kiss. First on her cheek, as they had never shared a kiss before. Then a gradual move to her lips. Lingering there before he would drift to her neck. Eventually moving to her soft and young breasts. Bit by bit he would kiss every single inch of her until his lips had claimed her so fully that there could be no doubt. Shaking himself out of his fantasy as his manhood had begun to swell, Theo looked at his new wife, smiling widely at the thought that she was no his. Bringing her hand to his mouth for a kiss, a low growl escaped his throat and his eyes became fierce. Contact with her skin inflaming his lust once more. The night could not come soon enough.
