"You've spent months changing the stars, Giovanna. Today, it's finally time to reveal the new night sky." Kayden's words were floating in her mind as she kneeled down and accepted her crown, she was very lucky to have Kayden by her side.
"Today is a new day for Cordonia!" Giovanna spoke loudly to her anticipating crowd, "My regime will be for the people, I will bring justice to our kingdom and we will flourish once again!" The crowd erupted as Giovanna made her way to the ballroom.
She hadn't been queen for all but an hour and she was already tired of the ass kissing she was receiving. Thank goodness for Kayden's timing,
"Would you like to dance my queen?"
"My?" Giovanna cooed as she accepted Kayden's offer. "What am I to call you now?"
"Sorcerer? Killer? It's what everyone else is calling me." Kayden shrugged.
Giovanna peered around the room watching the ugly looks Kayden was receiving. The bystanders looked away once they noticed Giovanna watching them. "Don't listen to them Kayden. You're better than to falter to court gossip."
As the music shifts, Kayden dipped Giovanna, pulling her back into her chest. Giovanna faltering to the strong, powerful arms holding her tight but yet so gently. Kayden leaned in and whispered, “Join me tonight Giovanna, and I'll show you the value of things made hard, demanding, and fit for purpose."
Giovanna was unsure of the location of choice, the armory. But she couldn't fathom the beauty and history of the weapons before her.
After Kayden's lesson and compliments, Giovanna took a seat contemplating her future.
"As queen, you'll have to work on your ass kissing." Kayden spoke teasing her lover.
"I fear ass kissing is the least of my problems...If my enemies have their way, all the weapons in the world wont be enough to save me."
Kayden moved to stand before Giovanna, taking her chin with a grip that's gentle but firm, tipping her face to meet hers. "They wont have to be. No matter what happens, I will be there to protect you. Until my last breath."
"Does that mean you will be my Crown Shield?" Giovanna spoke, eyes sparkling.
Kayden bent down, face merely an inch from Giovanna's, "It means I will be yours..."
Giovanna's face grew with intense heat, heart pounding inside her chest. Kayden closed the remaining distance and captured Giovanna's lips, gently at first, then growing more and more intense. Giovanna latched onto Kayden and held on as she was hoisted from her seat and forcefully held against a wall.
"Sorry, I have wanted this for so long, it is nearly impssoble to hold myself back." Kayden panted.
"Then don't hold back." Giovanna challenged, earning a growl from Kayden who shoved herself harder against Giovanna.
Kayden reached around and grabbed and handful of hair and jerked Giovanna’s head back, leaning in to suck on her neck.
“Mmmmm! Kayden!” Giovanna moaned with pleasure.
“I’m going to tear you apart.” Kayden moaned between bites, making Giovanna writhe with pleasure.
“Undress me.” Kayden commanded. And Giovanna quickly obeyed, tearing the clothes from Kayden’s body before backing away to shed her dress.
She moved to take her crown off but playfully decided to leave the symbol of power in place to remind Kayden who’s the boss. A gesture that didn’t go unnoticed by Kayden, who cocked an eye brow with a small smile.
“Have it your way my queen.” She challenged.
“It is a shame I had you pardoned so quickly, I was beginning to like the sight of you in chains...” Giovanna teased.
“Well your majesty, it just so happens that I have a set of chains right here.” Kayden said holding up the cold iron.
“Oh my...why don’t you place those on me?” Giovanna asked.
Kayden shackled one wrist before easing Giovanna to the floor, resting her back down, before securing the other wrist around the desk leg.
With Kayden now straddling Giovanna’s hips, her hands started roaming the soft delicate skin of her majesty’s body, leaving a trail of kisses all over. “What does my queen desire?”
“Mmmm Kayden more...” Giovanna wiggled and moaned underneath Kayden.
Kayden’s teeth grazed Giovanna’s upper thigh earning a moan. Her hot breath just mere inches from Giovanna’s spot. Kayden nuzzled over the sensitive area lightly, Giovanna lightly twitching with the sensation.
Giovanna felt Kayden’s strong hands take hold of her hips and then the woman thrust her tongue deep within, making her pull hard against the iron restraints.
Kayden stopped and peered up from her place between Giovanna’s thighs, “More?” She asked hungrily, licking her lips.
Giovanna cried out more, hips bucking against the tight restraint from Kayden. The woman’s tongue moved in and out in a pulsing rythm. Giovanna could feel it build deep within. Slowly surfacing and when she reached her limit, she exploded into a state of pure bliss, body shaking violently as wave after wave of pleasure coursed through her body. Then she went numb and collapsed back against the floor unable to move.
Kayden undid her restraints and curled her body next to Giovanna, “Is the queen pleased?”
Giovanna, looking sheepish spoke up, “That was um...my first time. With anyone, so I’m glad it was with you.”
“You know it’s been a long time since I allowed anyone to get this close to me, I want to give every piece of myself to you.” Kayden replied pulling Giovanna even closer to her, rubbing her leg as they let the time pass in blissful relaxation.
The two would soon part, rejoining the party before its end. Kayden staying from attention and Giovanna the center of it. But the two would rekindle in Giovanna’s master chambers that evening.
Giovanna lay awake while Kayden gently snoozed beside her. She was thinking of her future and the power she held and what it meant for her and the love she shared for Kayden. Her thoughts were pulled when she heard her door ease open and then watched a figure crawl on top of her quietly.
“Who’s there!?” Giovanna shouted waking Kayden.
It was Renza, “Hello Giovanna.” She spoke grasping one hand around the girls throat and pressed a dagger with the other against Giovanna’s chest.
Before Kayden could reach for her sword, she felt a dagger press against her throat. “Dont. See here? I have a charm of my own.” The assassin spoke showing off his black triangular ornate. “It stops magic before it starts. Your tricks won’t save you this time.”
“Renza? One final scheme huh?” Giovanna spat out.
“Mhm final... Yes I do like the sound of that. It’s a shame Giovanna that our little dance back and forth has to come to an end, but if you want something done right, I guess you have to do it for yourself.”
“Renza, you are heavier than you look. Oof.” Giovanna mocked one last time.
“Why you little bitch.” Renza snarled. “You ruined everything. If you had just fell in line when I poisoned you, I would be queen and you would live to see tomorrow.”
Renza looks over at your crown, “I’ve wanted that crown for years, it was finally my time to take it but you came along. I deserve it.” Renza went to each for the crown, lust filling her eyes when Giovanna shoved her away, surprising the girl.
“You deserve nothing. You were willing to sacrifice anyone who got in your way for power. And how sad. Because for all that you have lost, and all the pain you caused, you didn’t win. Not even once.”
“Winning comes now, at the end of the game. Everything else was merely a step towards the inevitable conclusion. Don’t you see Giovanna? I have always been one step ahead of you.”
Renza pulled back her arm and forcefully shoved her dagger into the chest of Giovanna, earning a shriek from the girl. “Checkmate.”
“No!” Kayden yelled as she watched Giovanna clutch her chest and shakily fall to the floor.
“Oh don’t worry, you’ll see her real soon.” Renza laughed out. “Can’t have any witnesses can we?” She teased. “Finish her.”
The assassin moved to slice Kayden’s throat but she remembered her promise to protect Giovanna until her last breath and she quickly jerked a dagger from under the cover, sticking it into the side of the assassin who collapsed to the floor in pain.
Kayden jolted from the bed, grabbing her sword, approaching a frightened Renza.
“Get up you idiot! She’s going to kill me!!” She screamed to the Assassin who regained his footing. But he was too late, Kayden slammed her sword through Renza, giving it a painful twist before pulling it out. She watched the life drain from the woman’s face and quickly turned to face the assassin.
He was no match wounded, magic or not. Kayden was a force. So he quickly averted the crown shield and limped his way to the window making his escape.
Kayden heard a weak moan and quickly rushed to Giovanna’s side. She pulled the girl onto her lap removing Giovanna’s bloody hand to assess the injury.
“Kayden?” Giovanna spoke softly.
“Yes love. I’m here.”
“I’m not gonna make it an I?”
Kayden had her doubts, the cut was deep and she had already lost a ton of blood. “Of course you are love. It was just a scratch.”
Giovanna laughed at Kayden’s comforting words before coughing violently.
“Kayden I’m cold. So cold.” She spoke shakily.
“I’m going to go get help.” Kayden rushed but was stopped when Giovanna placed her bloody hand to her cheek.
“Promise me something Kayden.”
“Anything.”
“Promise me you’ll find someone to love you unconditionally, and that you’ll open that bakery.”
Kayden was in full tears, “Please, I can’t go on without you Giovanna, I love you.”
Giovanna smiled weakly, “I...I lo...love you Kayden Vescovi.”
Giovanna began to still in Kayden’s arms, Kayden began to panic, “No, no, no, NO!”
She tried to shake the girl and keep her awake, not believing what was happening, when she had a thought. Her magic. It was a long shot, if she could stop things, maybe she could stop the one she loved from dying? It was a long shot but worth a try.
It's not an impossible decision. Say no to Theodosia's alliance so the sister can be with Percival, abandon the claim to be Queen, go off and fuck Kayden's brains out and have lots of cute babies with Kayden in the countryside.
