Sixteen - I'm getting married

(This chapter contains making out scenes.)

AMON

What in Horus's name just happened? Did I really just see that? And did I have to stare? Oh, by the gods, why can't I get the image of her naked body out of my head? Dressed in jewels and nothing else.

I rubbed my face and sighed. The sight was too much for my body to handle. I groaned, feeling my body's reaction. Annoyed with myself, I stripped down, walked to the tub and sank into the cold water, hoping it cools the heat below.

After minutes of just soaking in the tub and forcing myself not to remember that image, I got out of the tub and wrapped a towel around my waist. I walked into the main bedroom, lo and behold, the woman who occupied my thoughts stood at the door, this time fully dressed.

I would give anything to know what she was thinking right now.

JADE

Holy Ra. Holy Ra. Holy Ra. How is he able to do this? How is he able to make me nervous all of a sudden?

I gulped.

"Jade?"

"Hmm?"

"Is there a reason why you are in my room?", he asked.

"Eh?"

"Is there a reason why-- are you listening to me?"

"Yeah. Of course. Sure."

Ra in high, why am I feeling like this? And why do I think Amon looks perfect at this moment? How come I didn't think of him attractive before? Or did I just ignore it all this time?

I watched as a trickle of water rolled from his wet jet black hair to his muscled neck then to his chest that looked oh-so-inviting right to his god-sculpted abs that called out for me to touch, down, down, down till it disappeared under the woolen towel around his waist.

I swallowed.

"--de. Jade. Jade?"

"Hmm?"

I looked up to his face to see him smirking. For some reason, I blushed then cleared my throat and said,

"Umm. I came to say if you know what's good for you whatever you saw better not stay in your memory. You...pervert. I can't believe you just stood there and stared at me, you pervert."

"Just like you did right now?"

"That is very different."

"How?", he said as he walked close to me.

I stood my ground even though I had the urge to back away but when he got too close, I couldn't help but take steps back. He quirked his head to the side and then smirked.

"Don't come any closer", I said.

"Why?"

"Because I said so."

"That's not a good reason enough."

He kept coming closer and kept going back till I hit the door behind me. He came to stand before me, so close that we were practically sharing breaths.

"Is that all you really came to say?", he said softly as he put his arms on the door behind me, right beside my head.

I swallowed and said equally as soft,

"Yes, of course, you pervert."

"You know what, Jade?"

"What?"

He smiled.

"I think you have no experience in being this close to men in these kinds of situations."

"Oh, I have a lot of experience, more than you'd ever know."

"Is that right? So if I did something like this how would you react?"

"Something like--?"

In one second I was talking and the next Amon's lips were against mine, probing sensually. His hand went to my chin and tipped my head back and kissed me deeper. Then he moved away and smirked.

"As I said, no experience."

That's when I realized that I had just stood there, still. He looked so proud of himself like he had proved a point like that. I felt like proving him wrong since he had kinda taken my first kiss. My hands were in his hair before I even realized it myself, pulling him towards me then my lips were his. For a microsecond, he was surprised before he groaned as he pulled me closer by my waist.

He gave my bottom lip a little lick, asking me for permission. I smirked at that. His hand moved lower to my backside then he grabbed. I gasped and next thing I knew his warm tongue was swirling in the mouth. I gripped his hair, shocked at the effect it had on me. My legs felt like jelly and ecstasy ran through my veins. Our tongues swirled around each other, fighting for dominance, which he won.

He explored every inch of my mouth as his hands roamed my backside. Suddenly he grabbed me by my waist and hauled me up. On instinct, I wrapped my legs around his waist and held on to his shoulders. His hands were now also in my hair. He walked to the bed and laid me on it, without breaking the kiss.

His fingers were soon deftly removing the hooks that held my top together. He broke the kiss and sat back to take the sight of me in. I just lay there, out of breath, wanting more. He went to kiss me again but paused when a knock was heard at the door. He groaned. He was about to kiss me again but the knock now came along with a voice that said,

"Your majesty, Lord Mumm-ra, and Lady Aliya wish to see you before they leave."

He groaned again and got off the bed.

"I'll be out soon", he said to the person.

And that was what snapped me up from my haze.

What am I doing? How could I do something like that? And with Amon?

I sat up from the bed to see Amon rubbing his face, groaning then sighing. He turned but paused when he saw me sitting on his bed, watching him. He was about to say something but I stopped him by raising my hand.

"Don't say anything."

"But-- "

"Nothing concerning what just happened. Please."

He sighed and said,

"I'm going to get dressed. I need to tell you something really important."

I nodded and he left. I let out a breath. I fixed yup my top and held up my hair. After organizing myself I sat cross-legged on the floor just like I did whenever I was here, in his room. He came in wearing loose bottoms and an open shirt. He ran his fingers through his hair and for some reason he looked so hot and inviting, disheveled and disorganized like this.

"You wanted to tell me something."

He watched me for a while then sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. He sat on one of the sofas that were facing me.

"Remember what we talk about?"

"What?"

"About the solutions for my problems?"

"Yep", I said nodding.

"Well, tonight King Nazir spoke to me about forming an alliance."

"And?"

"I'm getting married."

"What? How possible? I thought you said Pa-- I mean King Nazir had no living relatives?"

"That's what I thought too but it turns out that he has a daughter no one knows of."

"An illegitimate daughter?"

"I have no idea."

"So...when are you getting married?"

"In a week."

"That soon?"

Why couldn't you make it sooner, Papa?!

"Mhmm. But--"

"But what?"

"A condition for this was you and Aliya were not to be here in the week before I marry."

"Why?"

"I have no idea."

I sighed.

"So have you informed Aliya of your marriage?"

"Yes", he said nodding.

"How was her reaction?"

"Pretty shocked."

"I wish I was there to see that", I chuckled.

"I know", he said also chuckling.

After that, we just sat there in comfortable silence. It was when he sighed then I said,

"I should probably go and pack up."

"Yeah," he sighed, running his hand through his hair.

I stood and walked to the door. As I walked out the door I turned to see him sigh and put his face in his hands. I couldn't help but smile for some reason.

See you sooner than you think.

After I returned to my room, I packed up the things I had since I got to the palace. I was to leave the grounds and meet Papa in the Kadir forest so I could finally go back to my rightful home. I was currently laying on my bed, still in Amon's palace, recalling all the events that occurred during my stay. As I lay there I heard a knock at the door and that made me sit up.

"Who is it?"

In response to the question, the door opened and a head popped up from behind it then a body then five other little bodies followed. I couldn't help the smile that blossomed at the sight.

"Amunet. Irisa. Jamil. Raq. Seth. Rami."

"Jade!", they cried out as they ran into my open arms.

I felt tears prickle the corner of my eyes as I hugged them. I pulled away and checked them for damages and found none.

"What happened? Are you okay? Did they hurt you guys? Please tell me you are okay."

They giggled and Jamil said,

"We are okay. Nothing bad happened to us."

"Thank the gods," I said before I pulled them into a hug again.

When I pulled back again I said,

"Get ready guys. We are leaving. We are going to someplace no one will ever hurt us again."
