Chapter 5: Trouble

Later that night, Tita and Finn assisted Alaina in changing into a comfortable night dress. She'd complained of a slight headache so she'd retired early and almost dozed off when Alistair walked in.

His eyes zeroed on the little lady laying on the bed with her behind facing him. He grew hard, remembering the feeling he had when driving into her early this morning.

"I learnt you have a headache." He said, taking off his training armour. He'd been to the stables with Jessica and had taught her how to ride a more stubborn horse.

"Yes but it's cooling off." She replied and sighed sleepily as he walked into the bathroom. After washing up,he dried his body and got into bed,naked.

She stiffened when she felt his hard c0ck pressing her thighs from behind. She'd barely recovered from in invasion this morning and now_? She thought to herself as he turned her to face him.

"You were going to sleep without kissing me goodnight?" He asked, looking into her eyes as she gulped hard. She was still sad about the way he treated her earlier on but she knows there's nothing she could do.

He'd only flare up more if she asks questions.

"I_ I." She stuttered and finally kept quiet before resting her gaze on his exposed chest. "Look at me." He whispered, kissing her jaw and earlobe.

"A ball is coming up tomorrow,by night fall,I want you to look extremely beautiful." He said as she nodded.

"For now,let me make sweet love to you." He whispered before pulling her night dress off her shoulder. His mouth took in a pink n'pple as she shivered and held his head.

His second hand kneaded and twisted the second n'pple as she moaned out loud. She hoped he'd not go down to her snatch cause she was so much afraid.

"Please_please." She begged and Immediately he stopped. "What's wrong?" He asked and she shivered.

"It_ it hurts." She whispered,her face growing hot from embarrassment as he chuckled.

"It won't hurt. I promise." And again,his hands found her breast before trailing to her womanly folds. She gasped and almost jumped off the bed when his fingers slid gently into her.

He worked his fingers into her, increasing his thrust's as her moans increased. Soon,she began moving her hips to meet his fingers as a wave of pleasure shot through her.

"Sleep well sweetheart." He whispered into her ear, kissing her brows as she smiled drowsily.

 Nothing will stop me this time. Jessica thought as she tossed and turned on the bed. Her thoughts went back to Alistair and the time they spent together.

They'd almost kissed but realization hit him and he'd walked away, uttering apologies as he did so. She'd been hurt and anger flashed through her.

If only she was the lady he loves. She thought as her window threw open and breeze,heavy breeze came in.

She climbed down from the bed and walked over to the window, attempting to shut it but her eyes caught something or someone.

It was Rodger and a lady. But who could that be? She thought before going back to her bed.

..

Rodger looked around before collecting the poison from the lady. She'd traveled from a far distance just to bring this to him.

"Just a drop and the most powerful man or woman will bow to you." She said as he smiled. Finally the throne would be for him. He thought and went away happily as the lady chuckled evilly.

°°°°°°°°°°

 Morning came too soon for Alistair and Alaina and before they knew it,a loud and resounding knock was heard at their door. Alistair groaned before wrapping himself in the blanket and moving to the wardrobe.

Alaina was still naked under the duvet so she stayed back, watching as he changed into a garment. "What's it, Lyonne?" He asked the guard and in no time,he walked back into the chamber.

"Several kingdoms would be present." He started, turning to stare at Alaina as she furrowed her brows. She'd known balls were organized to bring kingdoms closer and together but this? She didn't understand why he was telling this to her.

"Why are you telling me all these?" She asked and he sighed. "In case you think of running away with your parents,I won't hesitate to kill them." He replied bluntly as she shivered.

She couldn't believe Alistair was saying all these. She'd never think of running away,not now not ever.

°°°°°°°°°°°°

 "I want my dress and makeup to be standard. I want to outstand every female in the hall, including the queen." Jessica said as Beula and another maiden stiffened for a while.

Beula knew her mistress was ambitious and slightly goal driven but been more beautiful and outstanding to the queen was something she didn't think her mistress would fit in. She couldn't deny the fact that Queen Alaina was a very beautiful lady and her young age added to it.

A knock resounded through the door and Immediately, Jessica stood up. "I'll be right back." She said and walked over to the door before walking out.

She had two agenda's today. Two things to do. "I see you're here." She said to Rodger as he smiled. "Yes my queen,I have another plan,trust me it'd be good." He said as she cocked her brows.

"What do you mean?" She asked as he slid a little bottle from his clothes.

"It's vinegar mixed with a deadly poison. We have two plans." He started as Jessica's eyes followed the bottle.

She wished she could snatch and pour a mighty content down Alaina's throat.

"We either poison the queen or we set her up." He said as she smiled. "Anything you do, make sure Alistair does not lose his life." With that,she turned around and walked back into her chamber, hoping no one saw her.

°°°°°°°°°°

 "You're looking beautiful my queen." Tita and Finn chorused as Alaina blushed, looking at herself in the floor length mirror.

She wished she could remove the coldness from Alistair's eyes. Just hours ago, everything was alright but now? She couldn't tell.

"Thanks." She replied as the door swung open revealing Alistair in his Royal apparel. His eyes took in her beauty, going from the swell of her breasts to the flat of her tummy.

She wondered if her dress wasn't pleasing to him then she'd change it. "You_ you don't like it?" She asked, stuttering as he growled and shut the door.

"You think I don't like it?" He asked, wrapping his arms around her as she melted into him. "I_ I thought" he sealed her lips with a kiss as she reciprocated it.

Kissing him with the same intensity as his. Her hands trailed into his hair, tugging gently as he pressed her boobs through the fabric of her dress as she moaned.

"We'd better leave this till later,we can't keep the visitors waiting." He said gruffly as she sighed and kissed his lips lightly.
