Can I Talk To You

Trevor POV

Carriages are so much less convenient than cars. At least during our trip back to the Lutz castle, I didn't have to hear my sister freaking out about my driving. No matter how many years passe;, cars, planes, and buses terrified her. Of course I liked to go a bit over the speed limit myself. Her Father complained just as much as her. Maybe I should have slowed down a bit more often, or used my break when I was supposed to.

The ride was a little over a day's trip. Aileen had fallen asleep with both her kids snuggling in her arms. Children really were adorable. Those two loved each other at times and fought at times. Much like how Aileen and I used to battle each other at my parent's house. I wondered to myself what my children would be like. I bet they would be close to their older cousins. Both Shion and Kalum were very protective over any they considered family. The demons would do anything for those they loved.

If only they could sense how lonely I felt in this carriage. Both of them would charge at me and I would wrap them in a bearhug. As I observed the loving family in front of me, feeling like an outsider, I thought of my innocent Cupcake.

Did she want children? I hope not as many as Lord Devon. I can't imagine having more than two. I bet our daughters would be just as beautiful and sweet as their Mom. Our boys would be devilishly handsome, strong, and criminally amazing just like their Dad. We could live in whichever dimension we all decide, after the final battle in two years. I guess I did secretly yearn for a girl I could spoil rotten with anything from her wildest dreams. We would live in a large house. A specious yard for our kids to play in and many extra rooms for our friends and family would be a necessity.

Naturally, we would have sex in every room except the kid's rooms. There wouldn't be a single day she'd be left unsatisfied. I'd take her in every position imaginable until she begged me to let her cum. I'd give her the best ecstasy of her life for the rest of her life.

The carriage hit a large rock and all of us bounced in the air. Aileen and baby Kalum fell right back to sleep. Shion's eyes snapped open as if we were under attack. His little hand wrapped around the stick he just had to bring with him. Wind swirled around the wooden weapon.

Pride struck through my aching heart. He was learning from all our training sessions! Sure the wind wasn't strong and kind of wispy, but he wasn't losing control of it! If this was just a twig of the jubilant feelings a parent can have for their child, I could only imagine when I had my own.

"Shion, everything is fine. Put the stick down before you stab out your eye."

While Shion was prepared to fight for his Mom and baby brother, Kalum had stretched himself all over their Mom. He got a pouty face and looked up at me. "Can I sleep with you? I don't like sleeping alone… that bad man shows up."

*Only for a little while longer, little man. Your incredibly strong Uncle will protect you from him. The demon lord will never hurt our family again. No one will.*

"Hop up, I'm much cuddlier than your grumpy Mom anyway."

Shion gave a quick glance to his Mom and brother. "Yup."

Oh would I be gloating when they all wake back up! Her own children know who the superior body is and I don't even have pillows on my chest like her!

Little Shion curled up in my arm. I could get used to having someone I love nestling on my chest. Those were the last thoughts before sleep took hold of me as well.

None of us woke up again until the carriage came to a halt. In front of us we could see the grand castle. A statue of the last three Kings stood tall and proud to our right. I recognized the looming statue of her Father wielding a sword above his head. Little rubies along the tip of his blade twinkled in the morning sun; the blood of his enemies when he reclaimed his throne. Aileen stood in the carriage and pointed the statues out to her children. They demanded to know the story behind the statue.

We were already through the first several gates leading to the inner city. I heard Aileen explain the statues were placed near the inner city; a superstition the King's souls would always protect them.

Right, I heard the previous King cared none for his citizens. As for the statue of the current King raising his sword during the battle; I knew the real story. He was in his youth and very stubborn. The only reason he came back and took the throne was because he wanted to prove his strength. None of it was out of concern for the people. King Ulrich cared only for himself up till the day his daughter was born. She had melted a bit of the ice in his chest. Now the man had a wife he loved and grandchildren. I think he even had a soft spot for yours truly.

The carriage lurched forward and we were taken to the castle's back entrance. Aileen had insisted on going in away from large crowds. This door was mostly used by servants and merchants bringing in food.

Last time we were here, a large celebration had been held. Guards had to push back on the citizens to keep them away from their princess. The demons, sorry, the blessed, rushed to her as well. They loved their princess who gave so much to plot against their tormentor.

A few had asked her about the Women's Safe Haven. They were interested in getting counseling for what they had endured. She gladly helped them, but all the socializing, posture, and being a proper princess took a toll on her. This time she decided to avoid the cheering crowds. If any girl asked her for help, they would be welcome to in private.

She had enough stress on her shoulders without the country's citizens all swarming her.

Me, on the other hand, would have preferred to be adored by my fans. Girls rushing me, only kept at bay by armed guards; who wouldn't want that… My cupcake wouldn't… She seemed to hate large groups more than Squad Leader Tom, or my sister.

Opposites attract indeed. For a minute the music video was playing in my head. I would have made a much sexier cat.

"Trevor, I'm heading with the kids straight to my Father. Figure I might as well give him the bad news he has to go another few days without his Queen." She ran a hand through diamond adorned black hair. "Don't be too long. I know what you're going to do first; or who I should say."

Damn Devon, he must have told her I was still thinking about the girl. Can't the man keep one secret from his wife?! Bet he didn't mention his advice to get laid.

"Be careful Trevor. I don't want to see you get hurt." She ruffled my hair. "And if you hurt her, we'll relive some of our childhood 'negotiations'."

Right, because I was the one who lost most of those fights. Her pregnancy brain must still be in full swing. I rolled my eyes. "And who really won most of our fights?"

Her kid's ears both must have perked up because the next question was, "You two used to fight? So why do we get in trouble!?"

"That's my cue to leave. Love y'all. Mommy can answer your inquiries little men! Adios!"

Getting myself out of that situation, I sprinted inside the castle. Many of the maids scurry away unless they wished to be trampled. It was absolutely a necessity to get away from my enraged sister.

After my madman dash, I started looking around. I had no idea where I had run off too, but Aileen wasn't chasing. I was safe enough.

Wondrous aromas of bread, eggs, and potatoes filled the air here. In front of me were maids hustling about. They must have been preparing breakfast. Did they run around like wild turkeys every morning? Even the demons were on edge.

A loud crash sounded from the next room. The gentleman that I am, just had to make sure any cute maids were safe.

"And I heard Trevor is still single! I really might have a shot with him." A petite blonde smiled brightly to some girl who had her back to me. She was really adorable and already knew what an exceptional man I really am. Great! Maybe I wouldn't need to bed the princess to kick start my engine.

My fingers gripped the edge of the wall tightly. I was sure my knuckles were turning white. For an odd reason, the adorable blonde wasn't who ensnared me. No, it was the girl with the sexy figure and chestnut hair pulled back into a messy bun. My heart was hammering in my chest. Could I finally move on from the girl who haunted my dreams?

Silently I willed her to turn around. I wanted to see her angelic face. This was the girl who would free my soul from my frightened obsession. *Turn around please!*

She was torturing me! The girl turned ever so slowly to speak more to her friend. I didn't hear anymore of their conversation. No, I was staring at the prettiest, sparkling blue eyes I could never forget. This was the first time I had seen her with no trembling, or sweating. Her gorgeous long legs were steady under her long plain green dress. Her face was so carefree and happy. She had me by the balls and I hadn't even said a word to her.

"I'm back, Cupcake!" I yelled in a cheery voice. I didn't care if any of the other women could tell I was mesmerized by my adorable sweet girl.

At the sound of my voice she began shaking again. My feet became glued to the concrete floor. Why? Why did she have to fear me! The only woman who I wanted to give my heart to. The only woman to outshine my dead true love.

The girl I had initially seen held my Cupcake. She should have been leaning into my strong arms. I should be the one taking care of her. Instead, I was the one causing her to hyperventilate.

I put my hands behind my back and approached the pair of friends carefully at a measured pace.

"Sir Trevor… I'm sorry if we insulted you! I uh, I've never seen Natalie like this before!" The girl hurried to explain. The only word I really heard was Natalie. Finally I had my Cupcake's name.

I decided to test the name from my mouth. "Natalie."

How did a simple name make me hard? The fuck! Already I could hear myself groaning her name as her legs wrap around my hips… At least I am in fact still able to get aroused. I wasn't so sure after walking in on my sister.

"Natalie, my sweet cupcake…" Since when do I have to search for words! I sounded like a freaking idiot! "Can I… talk to you?"

I waited with a heavy heart for her to refuse me again. Her delicious pink lips formed the words. Here it came.

"Sure." She glanced at her friend, "not here."

*Wait what? Yes Yes YES!!!* If I wasn't convinced it would scare her, I would pick her up and spin my Cupcake around and around until we were both dizzy.

Three words; three words was all it took to make my whole day shine brighter than the sun!

"I've got just the place! I'll even let someone tie my hands behind my back if it makes you more comfortable!"

Unfortunately, she did not crack a smile. Natalie finished her batter and gave some instructions on how long to let it stay in the oven.

"Let's go."

"I should probably escort you properly." I pressed my luck. It was a miracle she'd agreed to walk with me. I was about to curse myself out when she surprised the heck out of me again.

She fought past her obvious fear and reached her hand out for me. God truly loved me today. Sparks flooded my senses when I gently held her arm. Strange I only felt a fraction of this sensation when my true love grabbed me. Maybe Aileen was right about that vile demon. At least I had a single star of hope poking out from my dark empty sky.

As I led her away, I kept stealing glimpses of her face. She had no idea that I couldn't take my eyes off her. Natalie was completely focused on where I was leading her. I zeroed in on her kissable little mouth. My smart, sweet Cupcake was so close to me. How was I to concentrate on anything else?

Oh yes, today I was finally going to taste those delicious alluring lips!
