To Live and Serve (PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

[PoisonousIvee]

She shook her head, smiling gently, "I would rather be here in your arms everyday than hear their close minded bigotry..."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Well, that I suppose is a relief.. I doubt either of us are welcome back there.." He said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I wouldn't have it any other way.." She said and kissed him gently.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He made a noise and slowly kissed back.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I love you, Callan..." She whispered against his lips.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"I love you too, Elora.." He said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Do you want me to entertain you...?" She asked, moving to kiss his jaw and earlobe.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Unfortunately, we do not have the safety net we once had.." He said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She stopped and moved away, "I..." She frowned, "Right..."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"I'm sorry, Elora.." He said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I understand..." She muttered, "M...Maybe I should go...?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"I.. Only if you wish.." He said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Forgive me..." She muttered before climbing off the bed and leaving his room quietly.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He sighed and laid back in bed.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

Things felt strained between them after that; Elora hardly stayed by his side, spending all of her time finding safer ways to prevent pregnancy. But she felt like Callan didn't want her anymore, touching her was hesitant and almost uncomfortable. It broke her heart.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

The truth was, how could he? His arrogance had nearly cost her her life. He couldn't do that to her again.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She kept herself rather isolated while she went about her study; however Callan's advisors were softly praising him for "tossing aside that elven trash", saying how she only held him back from ruling with his true power and iron will. All words he did not appreciate hearing.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He snapped. He slammed an advisor against the wall and brought the point of his sword to his throat. "Not. Another. Word of it." He said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He panicked and nearly wailed, "Forgive me, your Highness!! I meant no disrespect!! None meant any disrespect!!"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Then why in God's name did you persist after I had told you to never mention it again?" He said and sheathed his sword. "I mean it. Not again."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

They all bowed hurriedly, sputtering apologies and praises to quell his anger. They had assumed he had just given up on her and was only putting on a brave face. They knew now that he was still sore about it.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He scowled and sat back on his throne. He crossed a leg over the other and rested his chin in his hand.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

At the entrance of his throne room he could see her spying in, her red hair so hard to miss. That long crimson spool of hair he missed tangling his fingers in, unnatural blue eyes looking up at him with desperation and need. Her milky soft skin flush as she pressed her bare body to his...
She left without coming in, leaving as quietly as she had even appeared.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

That was it. He'd had enough. "I could see you." He called.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She stopped and turned back before coming in, "Forgive me...I just wanted to check on you...see how you were doing today.." She apologized. The advisors looked between the two nervously before opting to leave.
