Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Forty-Eight
"Do you want to put your feet in?" Erik asks as we stand by the stream, holding his hand out. He's already removed his shoes and is standing in the water, so I nod, taking his hand. I hadn't been wearing shoes, unlike him. That was something else crazy about this world. I didn't have to worry about stepping on broken glass or a needle here. I didn't even have to wear shoes if I didn't want to and since Erik hadn't given me any, I'd just gone without."It's cold." I gasp when I close the distance between us. He chuckles, and I look up to meet his gaze. We're maybe six inches away, my hand still in his, just staring up at him. I can see a bunch of images of him in this creek going through my vision. Young him, older him, sad him, lonely him. My heart ached at how it seemed he always came here with tears in his eyes, or anger in his chest. He often picked up the rocks and hurled them at the wall on the opposite side or yelled into the sky and made sharp bullets of water pierce the trees.

It's the same as image as I saw before, Erik's mother shoving him into a cabinet I could now recognize as one from the kitchen I'd been eating in. I could feel the fear and panic in his chest at seeing how scared his mom was as she closed the door on him, even though I could feel him begging her not to go. Dad's going to hurt you.This time, the images keep going. Blackness for a moment, and then I can see Erik opening the door, sneaking out and towards the sounds of shouting. The shouting was muffled, and I couldn't understand it, but I could also hear crashing, and women screaming."She had freed a twelve-year-old girl my father planned on using for breeding, because she had golden eyes and white hair and was three fourths of the way pure blood. He liked the way she looked and wanted more like her. He planned on holding her captive until she got her first blood, but my mother sent her to the valley, where she was hidden. This wasn't the first time she had done something like this, b

We continue walking through the water, quiet now.After a little, we come to the source of the stream.It was a natural spring, flowing down from the top of a twenty-foot-high incline of jagged rocks, covered in moss and flowers and other plants. The pool at the bottom wasn't anything special, only hot tub sized I'd say, but the whole thing was so pretty and serene. The water looked so clear and clean, I bet I could drink it."Let's sit with our feet in the water." I nod, following him out of the stream so we can walk to the edge of the pool. He wipes a spot clean for me to sit first at the edge and rolls up his pants a little. I sit beside him and let my feet dangle in the clear water. It's cold, like melted ice temperature."Can I ask you something?" He says hesitantly after a moment. I look at him. "Do you think... you'll be returning home?" I look away, pursing my lips.That was a very good question.I shrug. "I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. I mean... I miss my ho

"Did you have a nice day with Erik, Lady Delilah?" I hum, watching Chepi and the other servants move around the kitchen I found myself sitting in once again. She was helping with dinner she had said when Erik dropped me off with her like a child. He said he had something to go do, and I had said I could entertain myself since Chepi was too busy, and she had burst out quickly, "I am never too busy for you, Lady Delilah!" And I had been pretty much forced to sit and watch her help cook a giant pot of what looked like stew.There were four other women in the kitchen, all with their sleeves rolled up, chopping, kneading or stirring something. Pur was in the far corner, giving a ball of dough the works. I didn't know any of the other women, and I seemed to make them uncomfortable, so I didn't talk to them."We had fun, yeah." I lean my ch

I stop at the dresser before I crash to pick out a nightgown. I settle on a dark green one, a bit longer than my last one, but with a low front this time. So low if I moved wrong, I would be exposed. I would have to talk to Erik about getting some less revealing nighttime clothes.I stand in front of the many mirrors Erik had, examining myself before I get into bed."Skit." I hear Erik mumbling suddenly from the entry way, muttering what kind of sounds like a curse as something falls to the ground."Erik?" I ask, stepping off the mirror surrounded platform. I feel myself crossing my arms across my chest, and I stop a couple feet in front of him. He stands, and the look on his face makes my heart jump. He looks so flustered; his eyes won't stop moving. I can tell he's trying

"Why are you looking at me like that, my flower?" Erik asks from the end of the bed. I don't say anything. I watch as he puts something he had in his hand in between his teeth. It glints in the moonlight trickling in from the window.It's the bracelet. He must've grabbed it from the box that still sat on top of the dresser.I stay still as he crawls onto the bed, knocking away his wall he had worked so hard to build. God damn he's so good looking. The way his arm muscles moved as he approached me. The curtain of white hair hanging from his head. There was just no way this man was attracted to me."I ask again," he mutters as he closes the distance between us, staring into my eyes and leaving only a couple inches of space in between our faces. "Do you want me to put this on y

In short, I've never been in this situation. I've never had to read what's coming next or know what I should be doing right now."I've never even kissed anyone." I whisper, looking up at him through my lashes. "You're the first man to show interest in me like this.""That can't be true. Look at you." He sighs. He scoops me up then from my sitting position and lays me down, hovering over me for a moment. "You truly look like a goddess." He mutters, leaning down and kissing my shoulder. "Mann is dumb." I gasp as I feel his hand running down my stomach. My hips arch as he draws circles around my belly button with one finger."You aren't lying. Look how sensitive you are." I look at him, begging for mercy almost. He laughs a little. "I'm not deflowering you tonight, don't worry.

My chest is heaving up and down, one arm is laying across my forehead, Erik has pulled my nightgown back down to cover my area up, and my knees are bent and touching."Do you feel better?" He asks, playing with a strand of my hair. I nod, my eyes flicking over the ceiling of the bed frame.That was probably a bad idea.But oh my god, I couldn't help myself. And I can't lie, I've never been able to make myself come like that, and never that fast. I can feel my face heating up from embarrassment. I was so pent up from spending the day with him. There was so much damn tension between us, it was driving me insane."Can I ask you somet

The following week was not fun for me. After the scene with who we now knew for sure was Griffin, Erik and Larkin were on high alert. Which meant one of them was always tailing after me, sticking their nose in my business and acting like I was made of glass. At first, I wasn’t too annoyed by it. I understand where they’re coming from; we were caught off guard and Griffin could have done anything he wanted to me. We all knew it. I was defenseless, especially against someone like him. So I’d been okay with the constant babysitting and micromanaging. At first.I’d stopped being okay with it… four days ago. When Erik busted in on me while I was in the tub. I mean, he’d seen me naked before, that wasn’t the issue. The two other guards he’d had with him who’d gotten an eyeful of my suds covered tits was what irritated me.Currently, I was attempting to sneak out. I wanted to go talk to my Alder, alone. Without Erik, specifically. I just knew if he knew what I was planning on doing, he wo

“Ah, who do we have here?” The Gud asks, grinning and circling around Erik. “Is this your…”I see his eyes flick down to my ankle, and notice the flash of recognition in them when he spots my anklets. “He is your husband.” He confirms, turning back to Erik to look him up and down, like he was assessing him. “How did a weak little man like you snag yourself a goddess?” He taunts, obviously trying to get a reaction out of Erik.It works, because I can see Erik’s face contorting in anger and his hand moving to rest on the hilt of his sword. His grip on it clenches and unclenches, and I could imagine the internal debate he was probably having right now. I hadn’t really seen Erik in a real fight yet, just training and stuff like that. But something was telling me he was more than capable of holding his own, especially with that giant sword on his hip.“Why are you here?” Erik asks. I’m impressed, because I’m sure that wasn’t what he really wanted to say. He was exhibiting some serious self

Red eyes that seemed to shine through the shadows of the trees as he appeared before me. Tall and wide, an irritated expression on his face.Before me stood the Gud, the main person I was trying to stay away from currently. I’m pressed against the wall, my three dragons in front of me, like they were prepared to protect me. I knew they were still too young though, too small and inexperienced to be able to really do anything.“Hello, pretty little thing.” I freeze, turning my face away as he closes the distance between us, easily shoving Binny aside with his foot to stand in front of me. His hand reaches up, and grabs a strand of my hair. He starts wrapping it around his finger, looking at it like it fascinated him. I swallowed thickly, doing everything in my power to keep my voice steady. “Why are you here?” I ask, my face still turned away from him as he brought my strand of hair up to his face and smelled it. His eyes fluttered shut as he inhaled, and I glanced at him. He did have

Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting outside of me and Erik’s bedroom window, watching Binny and Bacus wrestle playfully while Beatrix sat on the ground with me, pressed against my leg. She was watching them too, her eyes narrowed on them like she was judging them. I had come here because I had been hoping Erik had stomped off to our room, and maybe I could try to make him a little less angry. I’d been pretty disappointed when he was nowhere to be found. I could’ve gone to his office where I’m sure he actually was, still working, but I didn’t really want to get in a fight with him right now, and it kind of felt like we were on the cusp of one.So I’d sat outside with my dragons alone, just enjoying the warm night breeze. I sighed, resting my chin on my knees. What a complicated life I’d straddled myself with. “You okay?” I jump a little at the sound of a voice suddenly, and turn to see Larkin lingering a few feet away, looking down at me. I cursed a little eternally, because he w

“Thank you again, for doing this.” I say to Larkin as I lead him and his men to their prepared rooms a few hours later.They’d arrived just after the sun started setting, so I told them to rest for a little, clean up if they’d like, and we’d get dinner and drinks ready for them. Larkin looked a little surprised and… maybe a bit smug about the good treatment. I’m sure he was expecting something more along the lines of what Erik was going to do, shared rooms with no space. “Course. I gotta say, the dragons have really taken a liking to you.” When they’d first approached over the hill in a group, looking rather intimidating, the dragons had reacted to say the least. I’d been waiting with a few Alva and my dragons, and as soon as they’d locked onto them, they’d charged them head on, seemingly prepared to fight despite their immature size and age.They’d only stopped when I told them to, scolded them was more accurate. They’d shrunk and sat down by my feet, looking up at me with big sad e
Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Ninety-Nine
The next couple of days we spent preparing for Larkin and his men’s arrival. When I say we, I don’t mean Erik and I. It started when we’d addressed the servants together and he’d told them rather flippantly to prepare five rooms for the incoming guests. I remember the moment I realized Erik was not in fact going to be a grown up about this whole thing, and it would in fact be nothing but one giant headache for me.“He told you ten, plus him.” I had said to Erik. I hadn’t thought for a second he had forgotten; I knew he was being snotty about this whole thing still. Which was fine. I get it. But still. I had taken charge, told them no, we weren’t doing that, but to prepare eleven rooms for them. I had told them if we didn’t have enough room, our people could bunk together for a few nights. These people were guests, and coming of their own accord to help protect me. Erik at least had the decency to look bashful when I’d reminded him and the group of that fact. I’d told Erik to run al
Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Ninety-Eight
Erik and Larkin talked for another hour. I got bored halfway through and started organizing Erik’s desk. He had glanced at me curiously when I’d begun, but now I think I had mostly faded into the background of this conversation. Erik’s idea was we should go to where the remaining Gud species reside, confront them head on and get this over with. He said he didn’t want to wait around for him to attack, always looking over his shoulder. Maybe I was stereotyping here, but I found it interesting how Larkin argued against doing that. I guess from looking at them, you’d assume Larkin was the brute, the one who wanted to charge in head first, swords drawn, ready to die. Unfortunately for me, it seemed my new husband fit that role more accurately. Erik’s eyes were alight with passion and anger as he spoke of his plan to sneak onto their land. Then Larkin would point out the only idea Erik even has on what their territory looks like is based on a fifteen year old sketch of a map his father h
Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Ninety-Seven
“All good?” Erik asks as we walk inside and join him again. He really had been waiting close by; just past the entry way, standing there like he was a guard himself. As soon as I turned the corner, he had gently grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back against his side, like me not being there had been physically paining him. More like letting me talk to the one man who amounted as my ex, but I was trying not to focus on all the awkward tension rolling between the three of us.“Yup.” I nod and smile up at him, standing on tiptoes to press a kiss to his cheek. He seemed to visibly relax, which was kind of cute. “He wants all of us to talk about the Gud now though.” I say, tilting my head to where Larkin was lingering behind us, awkwardly looking anywhere but at us.Erik nods. “Yes, yes we should. I would go as far to say it’s impossible to think he’s not hunting you.” His hand that had moved to wrap around my waist as he guided us all somewhere tightened a little at his words. I could te

“I came down here for a reason other than breaking up your cat fight.” Erik calls after me as I walk away from him and back towards the main estate. “Someone is here for you.” I stop then, my heart jumping. “Who?” I ask, not turning to look at him yet. He’s quiet for a moment, then says, “Larkin. He wants to talk to you about Bacudal’s death.” I nod, and take a deep breath. “Okay, take me to him.” Erik walks beside me as we head towards the main estate together now. We don’t say anything at first, then I ask, “how did he… seem?” I glance at Erik.He sighs. “Tense. Angry, impatient. I worry another war with the Gud species over this.” I furrow my brow. Another? “Would you like me to remain with you while you talk?” He asks, looking down at me. I shake my head a little. “I feel like you being there won’t help his irritation any.” “Very well. I will remain close by, just in case he attempts to take you back with him again.” I can hear the edge in Erik’s voice when he talks about L
