MASTER THAEDON KREE
“I am right. He cannot take her from me?” I asked Huine Srit.
“No, after tags have been replaced, the slave is rightfully yours. He could file the appeal, but as the master you have the power to deny it as soon as it is filed. He has nothing,” Huine said.
I sighed in relief. I needed to tell Ella. I had kept it from her but now I had other arrangements that would keep any Kalazaron from ever questioning her position in my life.
“And the other arrangement? I am ready to do it tomorrow. Is everything in place?” I asked.
“Yes, all is ready.”
“We will be there tomorrow. I must go to her now.”
I walked into the living quarters to find Ella packing a bag. I was confused and shocked and a little bit angry.
"Ella, what are you doing? Are you trying to run?"
She stopped and looked at me stunned. It was clear that she was not expecting me to come back to the living quarters this early in the day. Her face was stained with tears and her eyes were red, as though she had been crying for hours.
"That is it. I have had enough. You are going to tell me what is going on. You have been acting strange for a while now. We were so happy after the Belvenreed Outpost. I know that something is wrong and you were keeping it from me. Where do you think you are going?"
"What do you care? You cannot have me anyway. You cannot truly have me the way you can have a Kalazaron female. I heard you say so yourself in the council room. You cannot be with a human female; it is not right for the master to do so. I am better off at the Belvenreed Outpost where I can have some sort of freedom. You must let me go. I will not be owned by the Loki family again, especially if one of the sisters is your wife. You cannot put me through that, Thaedon. I beg you."
She was shaking with fear. I pulled her into my arms and hugged her. "Ella, I would not do such a thing. Where did you hear of this?"
"I ran into the Loki sisters in the market. They said their father had negotiated for one of them to marry you. I did not get the details, but they seemed to be saying the truth."
I could have slapped those sisters for making my sweet Ella become so frantic and hurt.
"It is true that their father approached me and tried to take you from me. He tried to negotiate a trade that I marry one of his daughters in order to gain full ownership of you. But my advisor looked into it; we now know that he can do no such thing. You are mine. And I mean to make it even more official tomorrow, if you will have me."
"What do you mean?"
"It is all set up tomorrow. We must do it in secret. I have been facing opposition about being your mate because I am master. But because I am master, I am going to do what I want. We will do it in secret, and then no one can do anything about it."
"Do what in secret?" she asked me.
"Ella, will you marry me? Will you be my wife? I love you so much. I cannot be without you."
"Thaedon, do you really mean it?"
"I do. The arrangements have all been made. We are to meet in the morning where the ceremony will take place in secret."
"Yes. Yes, I will marry you."
I kissed her. I kissed her passionately and deeply. I laid her on the bed. I moved my body over hers and rested my weight on her. She quickly pushed her hands against my chest in panic and said, "You must not put weight on my belly."
"What? Ella, why not? Are you sick?" I asked her, searching her face and feeling worried. This was news to me.
"No, not exactly. I am carrying your child, Thaedon."
I was shocked into silence. I rolled off of her and lay beside her. I laid my hand on top of her stomach as she stared at me.
"Say something, Thaedon. Please say something," she said to me.
"It is unbelievable. Do you know how rare it is for this to happen?" I said to her as I was in complete shock that this was even possible. I had only heard of it happening once or twice before, and none of that was recorded. There had been rumors that it had happened at the Blue Mountain rebel base years before.
"So I have heard. But it is true. I have known for some time, but I did not think that you wanted me. I did not think you wanted me as a proper wife, so I kept it a secret."
It hurt me to hear her say those words. She had been dealing with this alone. "Ella, I want this. I am very happy. I have done many things that no other Kalazaron master has done before. Let us just add this to that list. You will be my wife and you will have my child. We shall be happy."
She smiled at me and kissed me. I delicately and softly made love to her. I was careful taking off her clothes. I made sure that I touched her with the care and gentleness. I slipped the muslin dress off of her and she lay naked on the bed before me. I kissed her belly. My child was in there now, and it filled me with pride. I pulled off my clothes and laid on the bed and said, “Come. Straddle me. It is the best way so that I am not on top of you. You are so small and delicate, I don’t want to hurt you or our child.”
“I don’t know how to do this,” she said in her small voice.
“I will guide you,” I said. She straddled my hips and lifted herself up. I guided my hard rod just inside of her, just the tip.
“Now, slide down as much as you want. Put your hands here on my chest to hold yourself. Then move up and down slowly,” I said to her.
She bit her lower lip and slid down on my hard staff. I sighed in great relief at the feeling. I loved watching her naked, olive skin and her breasts jiggle with every moment. Then she stopped and slid back up. She smiled as her eyes grew wide and I knew that she had figured it out. She understood. She moved up and down slowly, all the way down taking me all in. Then she varied the speed and had fun with exploring what she could do. I was at her mercy. I was holding onto her hips as she decided what pleasure she wanted to give to me. I enjoyed watching her learn. But I wanted to give her some pleasure as well. I moved my thumb over her clitoris.
“Oh, Thaedon,” she moaned. I smiled at her reaction. I massaged her clitoris until her head was arched back and her long, brown hair was cascading down her back. She moved up and down, faster and faster on my rod as I massaged her. Then she shouted, “I’m cumming! I’m cumming!” Her release turned me on beyond anything, and I released too with her.
In the morning we were married.
