17- The Stables
Everly
I feel the warmth of the morning sun caressing my back as t slowly begin to wake up. 1 snuggle my face into my soft silk pillow more only for it to vibrate. I reached my hand up near my face to pat the moving pillow, keeping my eyes glued shut as I had the best dream and didn’t want it to end. My hand came in contact with a rock–hard surface, smooth to the touch but it continued to vibrate and it was annoying me. I groaned in dissatisfaction
A deep husky chuckle brought me out of my limbo slumber along with soft, gentle massaging strokes along my back. “Good morning little mate” the husky voice said. Yep definitely not a pillow. I slowly open my eyes and it takes a minute for my vision to clear enough to notice the beautiful face of Alexander staring down at me, his smile practically about to fall off his face.
“Hmm, morning” I numble in his chest, deciding to snuggle deeper into his chiseled abs. He was warm to the touch and I felt like I was a burrito and it was glorious. I felt another a pair of large hands on my hips and felt a strong, also rock hard and equally warm figure press firmly against my back, shrouding the sun from my skin. I didn’t feel suffocated, but content.
“Good morning my angel! I would ask how you slept, but I am pretty sure the answer is good seeing how you haven’t moved since you passed out last night.” The hearty sweet chuckle of Tristian behind me, I only smiled in response and again tried to nuzzle more into my makeshift pillow. Tristian kisses my exposed shoulder then my forehead before leaving the bed.
Alexander lets me snuggle with him for a few more moments before detangling himself from me and walks into his ensuite bathroom. Not long after he exits, fully dressed in a suit, his hair still damp from his shower. He comes over to me and gives me a searing kiss, leaving me breathless and hot all over despite me wearing a very thin black satin and lace nightgown that barely covers my ass.
“Take your time and get ready. Breakfast will be delivered here for you this morning shortly as we Kings have a council meeting. I will have someone lay out your outfit for the day. You have a date with Atticus and Jupiter later. They will send a servant to fetch you when they are ready. Be good!” He added at the end, kissing me on my forehead before exiting the room. Last night after our date, we had dinner with others before retiring for bed. None of us wanted to end our time together so when Al asked if I wanted to spend the night in his room, I said yes. I felt so much better being near them. I felt safe. I am pretty sure I fell asleep as soon as I crawled into this luscious bed,
The room was very similar to Lucien’s in terms of layout and design, except it had lots of deep blues, greens, and browns. It was very earthy and tranquil. I took my time and took a bubble bath with rose petals, thinking about Alexander joining me next time. I even put on one of his honey masks which was really refreshing. When I walked out of the bathroom in my robe, my clothes were laid out and a small table was set up near the window with a small breakfast feast full of pastries, fruits, eggs, and meat. The clothes were quite casual: a light royal blue three quarter sleeve knit sweater dress that went down to my knees, black leggings with matching black ballet flats, the black lace bra fit like a glove but I was not excited about the lacy panties that were more a thong. I mean pick people: either a true wedgy thong or a full panty that covers at least 75% of the back globes!
The dress had an open swoop neck, it was loose on my figure but still showcased my curves, hidden pockets at the hips, and a pendant of a small golden dragon wearing a jeweled crown rested on the left–hand shoulder. There was a small gold and black box which held gold and pearl stud earrings
to finish the look
cup that was left in the bathroom. I decided to braid my hair in a three–part weave and I have to admit to myself, I felt
I dressed and put on a little makeup
al pretty.
Breakfast was delicious and I enjoyed the beautiful scenic view of lush trees and hills. The maids soon came and took the trays. I convinced them to stay for a few minutes to chat and soon enough Rose was at the door to escort me to my mates.
Before I knew it, we had whizzed through private royal quarters and to the other side of the massive estate, going out a massive glass door on the side of the building. A paved walkway in front of us next to the expansive driveway. Atticus and Jupiter were standing there in a casual conversation, they were wearing long sleeve polo shirts and jeans and boots. To say they were hot with all capital letters would be an understatement. I was visibly ogling them and felt no shame.
Upon seeing me walk through the doors, Atticus approached me immediately with a sultry smirk and brought his hand to chin, adding a little pressure so it closed my open jaw. Again, no shame in ogling these fine pieces of meat that 1 just want to roll in pound of butter, sear it to perfection, and bite into like it was my last meal.
“You look beautiful little mate” Atticus said to me sweetly. I looked into his golden hazel eyes that held adoration. It was the first time I really got a good look at him. His eyes were smoldering and they had flecks of gold and blue swirling like a raging sea.
“Thank you” I said meekly, pushing a stray hair behind my ear. Then I saw Jupiter approach with a small smile, giving me a lingering kiss on my cheek said close to my ear,
“Absolutely ravishing!” He pulled away and winked at me making me smile in return while my cheeks heated up and no doubt were a nice crimson color.
17- The Stables
Without further delay, they took my hands and we started walking down the paved path. We continued a stroll, making small talk about their schedules,
the weather, my night until we came to a clearing that had three massive large warehouses. All three were bigger than my old school which wan converted from an airplane manufacturer so it was massive. One building was easily four stories tall and had huge sliding bouts doors on the side as well as smaller entry doors for people, it was a log style design, very earthy.
The other two buildings were entirely made of frosted glass and had a very high pointed ceiling.
Atticus pointed to each one and explained “the glass one on the left the greenhouse where we are going in a little hit. That is where we grow many of the palace foods as well as medicinal herbs for the healers. We also have a preservation garden for the rarer specimens for Drakkon Vale as well as the Terra Realm. The large wooden structure is one of our barns. This particular one has some of our pets that we wanted to introduce you to and the other glass structure on the right is one of our larger armories and training houses for our palace warriors.”
Upon further inspection of the glant clearing I could see there was an outdoor obstacle course like you see in military camps on the side of the last building and there was a red paved track circle just in front of us. Several groups of soldiers were running in groups or playing a sport in an open field. The soldiers though were not all humans or not in a human form. There were different species: some demons, sonte fac, centaurs, and others only dreamed of in fables. There was a pack of wolves sparing in their wolf form near the edge of the tree line. There was a large open pasture on the left where there were horses, zebeas, giraffes, even a few elephants grazing, I thought they were extinct! Holy shit! They actually had a fucking menagerie at their fingertips.
I started giggling to myself and the guys looked at me confused. “Care to share what you find so amusing little one?” Jupiter quipped,
“Nothing, I was just laughing at something I thought about. I see you have a lot of extinct species like Giraffes and Elephants. So I was joking with myself saying I bet you guys have like Griffins and unicoms too. I kept laughing but stopped when Atticus and Jupiter weren’t laughing with me or telling me I was crazy. Which means I could deduce only one explanation.
“Holy crabapples. Don’t tell me you actually have Griffins and Unicorns?” I practically screamed.
They just smiled at me and I was flabbergasted!
“Show me!” I commanded and grabbed their hands, dragging them to the large wooden warehouse would all my deepest childhood fantasies apparently lived.
Jupiter opened up one of the barn doors and I if I thought my mates were jaw dropping worthy, my jaw was on the floor and around the corner.
“Welcome to the Stables!” I hear behind me.
