Corrupt Nature (My last breath x Raitachi)

Edward watched as Ava timidly did as she was told at satisfied smirk crossing his lips as she did everything he thought she'd do, except cry. She must be holding them back he thought as he leaned over her, frowning slightly when he noticed that Ava still kept her legs together. He again raised his hand and scoldingly wagged his finger at the princess "Na uh uh, keep them open for me" he teased, scolding her as though she were a child. He imagined that she her body would not be ready for what was about to happen and he was not a barbarian, he would not force himself onto a dry virgin. Even though he had already forced her to this point he wanted to make sure her body was ready to recieve him, even if she wasn't. She had been almost entirely compliant until now, he would give her something of a reward for being good, more like incentive really.

"Open your legs" he commanded, his cold expression returning, as his impatience grew even more. He watched her for a few seconds as she looked at though she was processing the command, or at least trying to work herself up to doing it. Edward however was sick of waiting, reaching down he wedged his hands between either of her knee's forcing them apart and pushing them up so now they were high above her hips, exposing her virgin pussy to him. Edward licked his lips hungrily as he layed his cold steel eyes upon her pretty pink lips, it looks like it's blushing he thought to himself as he turned back to look at Ava. "Keep them there" he ordered, referring to her legs, he didn't wait for her response this time before leaning down taking in the sight up close, before extending his tongue and tracing it up and down the newly exposed slit, slowly at first but he soon began to increase the pace, especially when he reached her clit, taking extra measures to trace circles around the small bud of flesh, preparing her body for what was about to happen.
 
She flinched when he raised his hand, relieved when he only shook a finger at her. She heard his command, and she knew she should comply. The fear of what was coming next had her frozen though. Her body began to shake again, though not nearly as noticeable as the beginning. She tried to will herself to open for him, but her muscles wouldn't respond. She shook more as he repeated the command, afraid of the consequences of her reluctant body.

Ava jumped again when Edward reached between her knees, forcing them apart. Her fingers gripped the blankets tighter, as she watched him lower himself between them. Shaking her head letting him know she understood, "o-okay." Her body jerked when he set his tongue upon her virgin flesh. Her body lay tense at first, but soon relax as his pace increased. Her fingers began to flex into the blankets, as her breaths started coming in quick pants. Her body jerked again when he made contact with her clit, her back arching slightly at the sensation. Her pants turned onto soft mews as his tongue traced circles around the tiny bud. Her hand found his, lacing fingers into his.

"Ah, Edward," she hadn't been thinking when she said his name, slightly above a whisper. A new heat travel through her core to her thighs. Any fears she had of what's to come moments ago, were nearly forgotten.
 
Edward chuckled into Ava at her initial reaction, as he continued the fast but steady pace, teasing her clit and then back down again. Her body was reacting beautifly to the movements of his tongue, she was relaxing, this was a good thing for both him and her. It meant that he had another way to control her appart from fear, frankly this was more fun then threatening her. He looked up as her body jerk upwards pushing her chest higher into the air, causing her shapely breasts to bounce with each hearty breath, this caused his own arousal to ache painfully with need. It was not long before he began to detect the unmistakable taste of her arousal, this along with her small hand now intertwined with caused him to smile again, she is almost ready he thought, increasing the pace slightly. He had to admit he had not been expecting her to make an intimate contact with him this, even if it wasn't a conscious act, he would have thought that she would be more willing to keep as much of herself away from him as possible. He understood that she probably hated him for what he had done, and what he was about to do, but at this moment he was hopeful that she would one day forgive him.

Her last cry snapped Edward out of his thoughts, did she really just cry out his name? Her heavy breathing certainly indicated so, he smirked again, I need her now he thought his own desire taking over once again as he left Ava's saturated lips behind, cleaning his mouth briefly before leaning down and forcefully kissing the princess on the lips and slipping his tongue into her mouth. He hoped that this actions would be at least be mirrored, even if she did not want him doing so. After a few moments, Edward stopped his face hovering just over Ava's as he stared down into her shining blue orbs as he lined himself up with her entrance, "it shouldn't hurt as much now" he whispered softly, trying to take away as much fear as possible before he thrusting his hips forward, he let out a pleasaured gasp pushing at least 3 inches of himself inside before he waited, watching Ava's facial expression's every moment, making sure she didn't scream loud enough to attract anyone else's attention.
 
Ava squeezed the hand she held, as her body arched again. She felt something creeping closer, as if trying to push her over some invisible edge. Her body shook as the heat continued to spread through her body. Her skin felt hot, almost feverish in her mind. The cool air in the room caressed her skin, her rosy nipples hardening.

She hadn't been expecting the kiss, but she melted into it quickly. She had day dreamed of this kiss before, when they would sit talking. She only wished the circumstances were very different. Her own tongue brushed against his tentatively at first, but she learned quickly from his own actions. Ava whimpered when he ended the kiss, opening her eyes she saw him staring down at her. Her hands came up under his arms to hold onto his shoulders. She could feel him pushing against her entrance. Shaking her head in acknowledgement, at his encouraging words. Her body tensed as he thrust his hips forward and pass her barreir. Her fingers dug sharply in his skin, as she tired hard not to cry out. It came anyway "no, please stop," she squeezed her eyes shut.
 
Edward grunted sharply at the sudden tightness he felt upon entering her and her nails digging into his skin, the act sent electricity throughout his entire body, he could not believe how well Ava was responding to his more recent actions. The return of the kiss was the part he enjoyed the most and the intimate stare they shared just before he took her virginity. He looked back down at Ava, he gave her a few seconds reprieve before pulling out and repeating the action, pushing slightly further in past the hyman this time. Hearing her cry pain and plea for him to stop, Edward leaned back down silencing her with another forceful kiss, repeating the actions from before with his tongue. He knew that it must have been painful for Ava right now, at least thats what he had heard about female virginity, however this was not a concern for him to worry about.

Steadily Edward repeated the action of his hips, pushing more of himself into Ava with each thrust until finally he was completely inside her, thrusting with a slow rhythm at first but progressively got faster. He growled primally into the kiss before releasing her lips and began watching her once again, his lust filled eyes studying her every twitch, every expression, every subtle movement of her face intently and he continued to deflower her. He watched for a few moments longer before leaning his head down and taking one of her rock hard nipples into his mouth, nipping, sucking and licking the pointed rosey mound as the pace of his hips increasing further, until a feint slapping sound could be heard from his hips roughly connecting into hers. Edward groaned loudly against Ava's erect nipple, her virgin tightness added with the power trip his was currently on, was beginning to send him over the edge, his breathing became laboured pants as he could feel his climax drawing rapidly near.
 
Ava's body stayed tense through the first few thrusts, she cried out with each one into his mouth. The pain slowly dissipated as he continued, her body relaxing into the rhythm. Accepting his kiss again like she did before. Her cries of pain soon turned to soft mews against his lips. Her fingers still dug into his skin, her nails leaving small indents. She felt him move deeper with every thrust, molding her virgin canal to him. When he broke the kiss she was no longer mewing softly. Her body arch as she got close to the edge from earlier. Her already tight canal grew tighter as she cried out.
 
Edward grunted again loudly; feeling Ava's moistened walls tighten even further as though attempting to seize hold of his manhood, releasing her nipple from his lips with a loud popping sound. He was enjoying listening to her screams of pleasure, combined with the sound of his hips uninhibitedly slapping into hers and the wet sound of his manhood pistoning into her pussy, it was a sweet symphony. His eyes remained upon Ava for a short while longer before another wave of ecstasy washed over him causing him to hiss sharply and the uncontrollable desire to taste her again.

Lowering his head, instead of planting his lips to her, Edward moved past that resting it in the crook of Ava's neck, opening his mouth and taking in a small amount of it between his teeth, gently nipping and suckling on the pale flesh. As he did this another gasp escaped his lips just as his climax reached it's inevitable peak, at this moment he did not care if they were found out now, he did not care about the consequences in the eyes of god, and he especially did not care if she became pregnant because of him his only focus was the present. Edward roughly thrust in one last time, pushing in as far as he could before letting out a loud roar of pleasure, releasing his seed deep within the princess. Wave after wave of pleasure shuddered through him like an earthquake, slowly he began thrusting again, the after shocks of his hyper stimulated nerve endings still very strong.

After a few more seconds he finally stopped, pulling his still half erect shaft out from Ava's motionless form, grunting sharply as he did and rolling over off of the princess, panting heavily as he tried to catch his breath, wallowing in his shameful ecstasy.
 
Ava held onto him tighter as the wave crashed around her. Her legs gripped his sides, as if her body was holding on for dear life. Natural instinct took over, as her body moved to match his pace. Edwards sounds of pleasure helped to bring her back to the edge once more. Her body slowly creeping closer. His hard thrusts rocked her body, her breasts bounced with each one. "Edward," his name whispered pass her lips once again.

Gasping when his mouth found the soft flesh of her neck. Her hands moved to tangle her fingers into his hair. "Edward... please... now" her pleas were answered when she felt him pulse within her. Her body arched against him, as he thrust once more, deep into her. Crying out again as the wave crashed around her once more. His continued thrusting sent little shocks through her body, as she breathed heavily.

The weight of his body left hers, but she didn't have the energy to protest. Ava's body laid lax in the bed, her eyes slowly starting to close. Her breathing started to even out, as she drifted into an ecstasy induced sleep. He soft skin prickled as the cold air in the room caressed her hot skin.
 
Edward lay silent for a little while longer as he listened to the sound of Ava's heavy pants slowly turn in to soft breaths as she fell asleep. He enjoyed that sound, he had done so ever since he became her body guard and she fell asleep in his arms. His mind was swimming as he tried to get it around what had just happened, the whole plan seemed to be entirely on impulse so far, the murder of the king, deflowering his daughter, the idea to usurp the throne. But it was working so far, it did seem too early to tell at this point though. His mind at this stage was far more focused on what had just happened between him and the princess, her body squeezed him, matched his movements, enjoyed every minute of his actions, towards the end anyway, even went so far as to call out his name and beg for him to cum inside her.

The fallen knight sat up and watched Ava sleep for a few moments, enjoying the sight of her chest steadily rise and fall as she rested. Remembering what she was like before this all started and how she was acting at end he silently wondered what she would be like when she awoke. Would she fear him? Hate him? Pretend nothing happened? Love him? The last option he seriously doubted, and he had never known princess Ava to be capable of hate, but then again she had never been raped before. In any sense knew that he had to get her out of here soon and take her into his hideout while the issues in the kingdom were worked out. In the mean time Edward planned to pretend to chase after the princess' kidnappers giving himself a solid alibi, while he actually was persuading the princess to marry him and taking off his originally intended extended leave.

Edward slipped off the bed and got to his feet, noticing the open bathroom door he headed towards the small room and using some of the left over water in the sink, cleaned himself of any left over dried juice or blood that Ava left on him, before walking back over to the bed, making sure he found every peice of armour that he discarded in the fray and put it back on, he no longer felt the extra weight of his armour, he was completly used to in by now, practically living in it for the last three years would have that effect on a person. Looking back down at Ava's sleeping form he sighed, she seemed so calm, so relaxed, it was as though she hadn't a care it the world, the only indication of the events that'd taken place earlier had ever occured was the fact that she was naked and a small amount of his thick seed was beginning to pool underneath her as it leaked out from her pussy onto the bed.

It took a large amount of will to look at her and not throw off his armour and take her once again, shaking his head of the thought as he leaned down scooping her motionless form up in his arms like he used to, althought at the time she wasn't naked. It was then that he remembered that she would need clothes if she was to not stand out in a sea of people but none of her royal dresses would do, aside from trying to not stand out they would be far too hard to carry. Sighing deeply as his frustration grew, Edward grabbed a nearby cloak and threw it over Ava's unconsious form wrapping her up in it, making sure her face was uncovered but still kept hidden from view. Exiting the room, he pulled his hood over his head and made s mental note to order his knights to fetch her some clothes later, as he checked both ways for anyone was nearby but thankfully there wasn't I guess my men handled crowd control he thought to himself as he made his way through great halls, the only people he walked past were firmly under his command, but no words were exchanged between them, just curt nods.

Finally after some nerve wrecking moments that seemed to take forever, Edward finally made it to the stables where a dark chestnut brown horse was waiting for him, his bags already packed with the clothes and provisions he would need for his time away. He was used to taking care of himself so there would be no one else where they would be staying, no one else knew where they would be exept a handful of his most trusted knights, and they would be far away from civilisation, so they would not likely be bothered by anyone at all. Edward carefuly loaded the princess onto the back of the horse laying her on her stomach, he wasn't entirely certain of how she was going to stay on yet but he couldn't just dash off at high speeds like he wished he could. The then mounted his steed before kicking off, moving at moderate speed so he didn't risk losing her, she must have looked like luggage to the people he past or even a roughly rolled up brown blanket because he didn't attract much attention as he made his way through the town and finally out of the city walls.
 
Ava only woke enough to realize he was lifting her from the bed, and then covering her with one of her winter cloaks. Nestling her self into his arms, she drifted back to sleep. Even the coldness of his metal armor couldn't keep her awake. His movements were at least soft enough to keep her sleeping. Then again what had just happened completely exhausted her.

Feeling the shift as he laid her across the horse, her eyes fluttered open. With her hands she braced herself up a little. "Edward.... where are we going," she asked a little alarmed to see herself outside the castle walls. The streets were dead at this time of night, save for the men lighting the lanterns along it. Managing to get herself to sitting position, she wrapped the cloak tighter around her still naked body. Moving closer to him, to support herself against his chest. "Why are we leaving the castle?" She turned to look up into his face, before hiding her face against him.
 
Edward tried to stay focused on the road as he noticed his passenger had awoken and was now resting against his armoured chest, she appeared to be cold, that must was obvious considering her state of undress. He continued to be surprised by how much she depended on him rather then try and run away, despite everything he'd done to her, then again, she wasn't exactly stupid either, Ava understood her situation well. By now she had began asking questions, and he knew that she wouldn't like the answer.

Edward kicked the reins to make the horse move faster, now that Ava was up there was no reason so fear her falling off the horse. "We are heading to my holiday cottage Ma'am" he replied, in a 'matter of fact' tone of voice "the one I haven't had the chance see in several years in fact" he continued on kicking the horse again.

"As for why well, you should understand why" his voice returned to it's former coldness as it was when this all began "I cannot trust you will keep our secret if I leave without you, so I am bringing you with me" he looked down to study Ava's expression for a moment before returning to what was in front of him, he wondered what she was thinking right at this second. He expected something like fear to cross her mind or even despair, because even though she had never been there before, she had to know that there was even less chance of rescue in the forest, in a secluded area like that he didn't have to suppress her screams.
 
It was natural for her to find comfort in Edward, she had been doing it for sometime now. Looking back out onto the road as he spurred the horse into a faster gate. Averting her eyes to the ground, "I..understand," she said quietly. Glancing back at her home most of the windows still glowed with light as it disappeared into the distance. The breeze kicked up, causing her to shiver as it found it's way under the cloak. She would have sought warmth against Edward, but the armor he wore prevented it. So instead she shivered through it, as they continued on their journey.

They rode in silence for an hour, the road completely deserted. She sighed a little, before speaking. "Edward...." she turned to look at him. Her blues eyes watching his face. "I would have come to you willingly.... if you asked me too." There was a reason she had always requested him for any of her outings. She was fearful of him now, the man she was with now was not the man from just days ago. Ava didn't know which was the true man, though it hardly seemed relevant now.

It didn't take long for someone to figure out the King was dead, and Princess Ava was missing. Edward didn't have all the knights under his command. That was proven by the approaching sound of thunder. Fifteen of the kings loyal knights ascended on them at break neck speed. "Halt," the largest of the men called out. They had searched for their commander, but not wanting to waste anymore time, they set off with out him. Not knowing the fugitive they pursued was in fact their commander.
 
Edward nodded as Ava confirmed that she understood the situation she was in, it was good, it meant that she shouldn't put up too much of a fuss. He felt her shiver under the blanket and frowned as he realised there was not much he could do to warm her back up execpt slow back down, unfortunatly for her that wasn't going to happen yet. For the next hour they rode in silence for the next hour or so, bobbing up and down on the horse as they rapidly sped along the dirt road, passing trees so fast he couldn't count them.

His steel blue eyes remained focused on the road a head as Ava began talking, a pang of guilt echoed throughout his body down to his very core, as her words hit home. He did not know that she had felt that about him, he inwardly cursed himself for acting so rash, but then again she did not know about the king yet, which was why they had to leave. It was far to late to stop now, the die was cast long before he had even approached the princess' chambers, deciding her words were pointless now, only designed to make him feel bad about his crimes and nothing else. "What's done is done, there is no turning back" he replied simply and coldly, wanting to appear like he was a hard man, that there was no compromise and that his words were law, as much as it pained him he could not appear soft or shower her with love affection like he had always wanted to.

Edward had heard the faint rumbling from miles away, he was prepared to face the kings knights, he had played through every senario in his mind, they were likely being lead by commander Richard, his subordinate, a stupid man but fiercely loyal to the king, a fact that could prove troublesome. "Don't make a sound, keep yourself completely covered and hold on tight" he ordered as the rumbling of the kings knights rapidly became louder as they approached their position. Edward uttered a silent prayer that his good luck continued as he shifted the riens of the horse forcing him into the tree's of the forest just as he heard Richard's voice call out, hoping the daring act would be enough to lose them, darting through the thick branches, this would be where his true skill as a knight and a rider would shine through.
 
He wouldn't even look at her, even as she admitted that she had wanted him. Instead he spoke harshly, she drew in a shuddering breath, as tears threatened to fall once again. Turning her face back to the road, so he wouldn't see how much those words hurt. "I..know," another shuddering breath as she rubbed her eyes roughly. She didn't want to cry anymore, she wanted to be stronger about this. This was the true man, that was made painfully clear. The other was a guise, only part of the job. A way to to put forth a plan, that more then likely had been set in motion long ago. Edward was only indulging in a princess's whim, placating to keep her happy.

Her head whipped around when she heard the sounds of thundering hooves. Leaning forward she saw the knights carrying her fathers banner. They had already found her gone, they were already coming to save her. This thought was dashed quickly as she was ordered to keep quiet and hold on. The voice that called out to them, was familiar. It was Richard, Edwards second. Ava's hands gripped the pommel of the saddle, though staying atop the beast was proving to be much harder then she expected. She was not seated as Edward was, a leg on either side, she had both legs to one side. If it wasn't for his legs basically holding her on the seat she would have fallen from the horse.

As the horse barreled through the trees at his masters command, Ava squeaked as a branch came to close for her own comfort. Once again muscle memory took over, she turned into Edward wrapping her arms around him. She would normally seek his protection in this matter, if the circumstances were different.
 
After a few minutes of intense riding through the dense trees, Edward was finally convinced that he had lost Richard and his band of merry men. He had to admit the ride itself was rather exhilarating, defying the law, the rush of adrenaline as he ducked and weaved to avoid low hanging branches. But he doubted that Richard would give up their search that easily, the idiot was surprisingly stubborn and tenacious. He knew from this point on he had to be careful especially if they the castle was aware that the king was now dead and had already organised a search party to kind him and the princess.

Noting that his horse was probably more then a little worn out after the stressful ride, he slowed it down to a trot before turning his attention back to Ava. "Are you alright Ma'am?" he asked, looking down at her for the first time in a long while, his voice and expression filled with concern. The ride must have been hard for her, especially considering that she was not mounted properly on the horse and shaking from the cold before we took off he thought to himself, another pang of guilt washing over his body.
 
Ava was shaking not so much from the cold this time. The weaving through the trees brought a few a little to close for her comfort. It wasn't distrust in Edward, it was distrust in the beast they rode on. He may be use to riding like this, but she was use to the slow meandering rides on her cream colored mare back home. She clung to Edward tightly, eyes closed tightly. The knights had given up chase long before the horse was slowed to an easy walk.

As the horse slowed she could feel it's labored breathing beneath her. In a way she knew exactly how the horse felt. Her own breathing felt as if it were just as heavy. Pulling her face away from the comfort of Edward she cast her eyes upward into his gaze. Shaking her head yes, and answering as such. "Y-yes, I am now," she pried herself from him, limbs still shaky, "let's not do that again. I don't think I would survive another." She would have smiled up at him, but caught herself just as the corners of her mouth lifted. Biting her lip she turned her face forward. His words were softer this time, but they wouldn't last long. Reaching for the pommel of the saddle she shifted herself slightly to get more comfortable. "Is.. your home far," she asked quietly.
 
Edward frowned slightly when he noticed Ava's reaction, she seemed fine at first but as she looked up at him it looked as though she tried to smile but purposly stopped herself. This caused the concern on his face to linger until a long time after she had stopped looking at him. He sighed deeply choosing instead to focus on the road ahead, rather then questioning it. "Yes I agree with you Princess we should avoid that course of action if at all possible" he stated reaching down to pat the chestnut stalion's neck "besides I don't think Goliath here has another one in him" he chuckled, lightly tapping him before taking hold of the reins properly again.

Edward shook his head noting the route that they had taken to get here now, knowing exactly where they were without need of a map. "No it's not far now" he replied his head turning occasionally, picking up on feint sounds, but dismissed them as generic forest noises he promised as he kicked the reins to make the horse move slightly faster. He remained silent for most of the journey, remaining constantly vigilant for anyone who could hinder his plan, thankfully however, it had remained largely uneventful. Every so often he made sure to check on Ava, to see if she was still okay, for a while he was sure his concern would betray his rouse, but that didn't appear to be the case. "I am sorry about earlier" he spoke suddenly breaking the long silence "I should have given you more warning" he stated, no longer able to hold back his guilt, as they neared a smallish sized cottage, Edward pulling on the reins, bringing the stalion to a stop.
 
He was displeased with her again, she could tell by the heavy sigh. Ave would have to remember to make sure she didn't do such things in te future. She was confused, when she spoke to him he acted as he would rather her not. When she didn't speak to him he would get frustrated with her. Her eyes narrowed as he spoke, 'Goliath didn't have another one in him, what about me? Do I normally ride at break neck speeds through a forest?' Pulling the cloak tighter around her she continued staring straight ahead.

Ava nodded her head when he told her it wasn't far. She was eager to be off the horse and on solid ground at least. Most of the ride was done in silence, even though she had to fight herself not to break it. She did however find herself leaning back against him for support. She was still exhausted from the nights previous events. The slow movement of the horse was beginning to lull her to sleep. Her eyes flew open though at his apology, 'why would he be apologizing?' "You didn't have time, I understand," he voice was flat, little to no emotion behind the words. She couldn't take another rejection from him so soon, the last still stung deeply.

A small stone cottage came quickly into view, when they headed for it she was was able to discern this must be his home. Confirmation of this thought came with in moments, when he pulled back on the horse right outsside of it. She chanced a quick look at him, before looking abck at the home. This was where he would keep her for only the gods knew how long. As a lady would she waited for him to dismount then help her from the saddle.
 
Edward dismounted from the chestnut horse, his armour making a loud 'thunk' as he landed. Grabbing the reins he pulled Goliath over to a nearby fence tying him up for now, making sure that everything they needed would be inside before he lead him to the stable. Once the horse was tied up Edward moved back to the side holding out his arms to help Ava down from the horse. Instead of letting her down however, Edward threw the bags over his shoulders and scooped her up in his arms, carrying her towards the cottage, only letting her down when he was in the door.

Luckily by then the morning sun was already illuminating the what would be otherwise dull, black room. He was thankful that he had paid a house keeper to look after the cottage while he was away, the place looked exactly the same as it did when he last saw it. "There should be some clothes in that room for you to change into" he said in an informative voice, pointing to the open door just a few meters away "they wont be as glamorous as what you're used to but they do the job". Hopefully his men had stopped by before they got there, moving to the pantry he was delighted to discover that it had been fully stocked with as much food as possible, meaning that they had indeed visited and dropped off his requested supplies.
 
The tired horse walked easily as he was lead to the fence, Ava's hands gripped tighter to the pommel. The area around the cottage was heavily wooded, this would make it hard to find she was sure. It would also make it hard for her to find her way out. Ava had led such a pampered life, the survival had never crossed her mind. A fact he no doubt thought of, knowing that her inexperience and fear would keep her here with him. When he came back to help her off the horse, she held her hands out as usual. When he instead scooped her up into his arms, she squeaked a little in surprise. The cloak falling open up to her bare thigh.

She had been on the horse so long her legs felt like pudding at first. She used him for support when she was set on her feet inside. Once again when he spoke to her it wasn't in the sweet friendly tone she was use to. Nodding her head, she let go of his arm. "I will just get dressed then," her voice quiet, a touch of sadness in it's tone. Entering the room she closed the door, feeling she was finally alone, she let a few tears fall. Rummaging through the traveling trunk, she pulled a pale pink muslin dress from it's depths. Dropping the winter cloak to the floor, she stepped into the dress. It was rather low cut, something she wasn't quite use to, and the cream colored corset pushed her breast up higher causing the soft swells to peek nicely from the neck line.

She ran a brush through her hair a few times to release the snarls caused by the rough riding. When she would have rejoined him, Ava turned towards the bed in the room. As her hand hovered an inch from the door knob, she removed it, dropping it at her side. She backed towards the bed, crawling onto it's soft plushness. Tucking her feet into the dress, she curled up on her side, then covered her face with her hands. She was confused, why would Edward have changed so much? Did he really share none of the same feelings she thought he once had? Ava couldn't help but shed a few more tears.
 
Edward caught himself watching the door every so often, did it usually take women this long to dress themselves? Or was Ava just not used to looking after herself like this. The latter was highly unlikely, the young woman he'd known was always independant when it came to simple things like that, he had heard that it was not uncommon for royalty to have everything done for them, including things like chewing food, dressing and washing, the princess was not one of these people. He thought back to her words just before she had disappeared into the next room, she sounded so sad, it was not the same as the happy, energetic voice that he was used to. When he thought about it the answer was clear to him though, Ava was scared, she did not know what was going to happen to her, though she could probably guess, he had raped her and kidnapped her from her home and he expected her to be happy? Edward shook his head in disbelief at himself feeling like an idiot for thinking so.

Deciding that there was no point in waiting for her to emerge any longer so he might as well get comfortable, Edward slid his gaunlets of and reached down to his sides and began unfastening the buckles along the seams of his chest plate. Removing his armour was always a long tedious process; not as long as it took to put it back on, but finally when the last strap was undone, like a snake shedding it's skin, Edward slid the heavy plate off and over his head, placing it down at his feet, followed closely by the chain mail tunic he wore underneath and the padded linen under shirt he also wore to protect his shoulders and skin from the harsh wear and weight of the heavy metal. His body instantly screamed in relief, suddenly feeling a hundred times then before, the muscles of his newly exposed chest flexed as they touched the cool morning air, revealing his lean but muscular torso.

He let out a satisfied grunt as the last bit of wieght on his upper body was finally gone, Edward practically lived in that armour, he had done so for the last two years thanks to Ava's father, only ever taking it off to change the underlay material but it after that it was instantly put back on for his various duties or even battles. This time he had no intention of putting it back on, he was free of the cage of the so called protection. He felt so light, lighter then he had ever been, looking up he squatted slightly and jumped, reaching out he easily touched the high ceiling of the cottage, a wide smiled spreading across his face as he landed. Wow this feels great he thought admiring his increased skill before shivering slightly, the cold beginning to take it's toll on his exposed chest, turning to the open fire place he picked up some of the cut wood that was stacked up next to it and placed it carefully within, there was nothing but ashes in there at the moment but when he got the fire started it should make the place feel more welcoming for Ava.

After a few minutes of smoke and frustrated cursing, Edward finally got one of the logs lit, watching the flames as they quickly spread to the other two, feeling the warmth already begin to creep into the room. His triumphant grin returned to his lips as he stood up, only a small amount of the ash covering his face, much better he thought before turning to the door in which the Princess had disappeared behind quite a while ago now. He silently wondered what she would look like in the dress that his knights provided for her, Edward had never seen the dress before so he had no idea what to expect when she finally emerged. Listening carefully he could hear soft sobs from behind door causing the all too familiar wave of guilt to wash over his entire body. Hanging his head Edward couldn't really blame her, after everything he'd done how could he expect her to react positively to the situation, he knew that he had a plan and he knew that he had to keep the act up but he wasn't sure how much longer he could keep up he had to see it through to the end, even though he couldn't stand to see Ava suffer.
 
This was the only day Ava would allow herself to cry, after today she would be stronger. If Edward's attitude can change so can hers right? So instead of trying to stop the tears, she let them flow freely. She was alone was she not, this would probably not happen again int he near future anyway. Her face was still covered mostly by her hands. She also cried for her own stupidity, she had fallen so easily to him, at the first sign of a sweet smile.

Ava could hear as the metal of the armor clinked, and rubbed together. He mist be planning to stay for a while, otherwise he might not be removing the armor her wore. She thought back on the times she dreamed of him removing it. It had never gone like this however, stolen and squandered in a hidden cottage. For no known reason when she heard the plate of his armor hit the floor she jumped. Maybe it was from memory of the night before. If she listened now she could hear the sound of the chain mail, the slight tinkle sound of the small rings coming together and moving. When most of the noise had stopped, Ava returned to her weeping. She was sure that he could not hear her.
 
Edward occasionally caught himself looking up at the door as his concern grew for the princess, he could only guess what was going through her mind right now and the more he thought about it the more guilty he felt. Finally he decided that he didn't want to wait for her to emerge any longer, reaching into his pack he pulled out a form fitting, short sleeve, knee length, dark forest green tunic, with a v-neck collar and pulled it on over his head, before fastening a wide leather belt around his waist to keep it in place. He was not used to wearing such clothes and hadn't in a long time, despite how much he enjoyed the weightlessness of no armour, he hated feeling so exposed.

Walking out the way he came in, Edward headed back over to where he had left Goliath and untied him walking the chestnut stalion over to the stables, giving him a lengthy and loving pat, before closing the gate behind him. With that chore taken care of Edward decided despite how Ava felt about him now, she was probably hungry and it was well past the usual eating time, with that in mind he walked over to the where the chicken's were kept, gathering a half dozen eggs up and headed back inside. He didn't have a glamouros meal planned for himself and her, but it would do the job all the same.

It was not a highly unlikely event for him to cook but he was more used to cooking for himself, eggs were the simplest thing he ever prepared so Edward figured that he would start there, placing a pot of water in the fire place he waited a few moments for it to boil before cracking the shell of the eggs and dropping them in the boiling water, poaching them for the next couple of minutes before carefully removing them from the pot onto a porcline plate that he had gotten from one of the cupboards while waiting for the eggs to solidify. Serving them up with a side of the salted mutton he'd found in the pantry he placed them on the table, he waited a moment to see if Ava would come out before finally desciding she would stay in that room for as long as she had to. Sucking up he pride Edward moved over to the closed door, gently knocking on it "there is some food on the table if you're hungry" he called out softly before moving back to the table, sitting down in front of the larger serving, waiting a few moments, staring at the door, before he began eating.
 
Ava had stopped crying but she wasn't ready to join Edward in the main living area. She could hear him moving around again out there. A small part wondered what it was he was doing. Then she heard the door open and close shortly after. Sliding from the bed, she walked to the door opening it slowly. Making her way quickly to the window, she wanted to make sure she wasn't going to just be left here. Following from window to window, she watched as he stabled Goliath, then walked to the chicken coop. When he started walking back, Ava ran back to the bedroom closing the door mere seconds before he walked back in.

She backed towards the bed until she felt it against her legs. Sinking down onto the bed, she listened as he Edward move around the cook fire. The smell of food made her stomach growl a little. At the castle she would have already had her first meal. She heard the plates being set on the table, and then his foot steps coming closer to the bedroom. With a soft sigh, she knew she would have to join him. She was being very rude after all, hiding out in his bedroom. Looking quickly in a near by mirror she was satisfied with her appearance. A shaky hand reached for the knob and turned it. She first peeked around the door, before actually walking out. The low cut muslin dress revealed a lot more then she was comfortable with. She was all but spilling out of the dress. Her normal attire had a higher neck line, and was also made of silks and lace. She wouldn't complain though, anything was better then the winter cape she had arrived in.

With her eyes averted to the floor, she sat in the only other chair available. "I'm sorry, I am just tired," she hoped he wouldn't hear the lie. The last thing she wanted was for him to know she had been crying. Taking up the fork next to her plate, she took a small bite.
 
Edward looked up as he heard the bedroom door open and smiled as the nervous looking princess Ava walked out of the room. Her dress she wore surprised him, it was a bit more low cut then he imagined, the style pushing the curves of her chest up further so they looked like her breasts would spill out at any moment. He internally frowned as noted her body language revealed that she didn't look entirely comfortable in the clothes, he did not blame her, this dress was fair different then her regular lavish gowns, if he was honest he would tell her that he missed her other ones, but he kept quiet about this, focusing on her face trying not to gawk at her all but entirely exposed chest. He already caught himself staring a couple of time as she made her way over, despite everything he'd taken from her since yesterday, his chivilrous tendancies still effected his actions, to the point they were almost reflex.

Edward knew that Ava had been crying, he had heard her, from her statement this was obviously something that she didn't want him to know. "That's okay Ma'am" he replied not wanting to draw attention to the fact he knew "did you want to rest for a while longer? his tone was even, it was neither cold nor warm as he watched her take her first bite of the food he made. His steel blue eyes studied her features and expression as she chewed the poached egg, feeling the anxiety begin to fill him as he awaited her response to his food, "I know it's not as lavish as what you're used to Princess, but I hope it's at least passable" he stated, shifting slightly in his chair before he resumed eating, chewing the last of his salted mutton.
