Chapter 19 - Emilia

The past month has been exciting but busy as well. I've had more reading lessons from Lilas who says that my reading is getting better, for the past week I've been reading aloud to the others from one of the simpler novels after dinner which has been getting easier every night. In fact I've nearly made it the end of book with only a little bit of help for some of the words.

My riding lessons have started as well although I haven't moved past trot on my own yet. Having some free time from the Council we've been together on a few more rides with me continuing to ride with Kor on his horse. I can't wait until I'm able to go out for a ride with them on Reyesin who I still haven't actually ridden yet, staying on one of the ponies so far while I'm learning the basics but I've been told that soon I can ride Reyesin in my lessons.

Tonight though is Lady Hess's ball which has come together quickly at least from my point of view but Lady Hess has told me that she's organised events with shorter notice which is amazing. Tonight I'll get to go to my first ever ball and with my mates, it's beyond anything I'd ever imagined when I was growing up. Attending a ball in the capital with people who love me and who I love in return.

Since I'd told them 'I think I love you' I'd come to realise that it's not something that I need to think about, I love them. Knowing this has made it easier for us to get even closer, we share kisses more easily now and they're not the simple brief kisses that I'd started with instead they're deeper and last longer. It's been amazing getting closer to them in that way and now I might be ready for more.

I'm hoping that tonight after the ball will be the night, I've been trying to build the courage to speak with them about sex. But I don't really know how tonight will go because of the announcements that they and the Council will be making at the ball, with Lady Hess's blessing of course. Over the past few weeks they'd been meeting more often for reasons that they didn't tell me about until a few days ago. It had been a terrifying conversation.

I'm relieved to wake up surrounded by my mates who are all watching me for some reason. Last night they'd been late back due to the Council meeting running longer than expected so I'd ended up having to go to bed on my own. I'd struggled to fall asleep and even when I had it wasn't a peaceful sleep instead I was plagued with worries for my mates. When they'd eventually joined me at some point in the night I'd been able to sleep peacefully.

"Is something the matter?" I ask wanting to know why they're watching me.

"Just wondering when we can get our arms back." Bel tells me amused making me realise that I'd taken hold of them during the night. Kor's arm is trapped under my head where I'm using it as a pillow and I'm hugging Lilas and Bel's to my chest tightly, something that is making Bel grin cheekily because of how close his hand is to my breasts.

"Oh." I squeak out releasing their arms and sitting up so that Kor can move his, "Sorry."

"It's not a problem, Kitten." Kor says, "We're so sorry that we were back late. The Council meeting dragged on because of some news we received and it's something we need to talk to you about."

His words make me nervous, sure they'd told me about Council meetings before but it had never seemed this serious. Not wasting any time despite having only just woken up we all head downstairs to the drawing room after dressing simply for the day. I end up sitting next to Bel while Lilas and Kor share the settee nearest to us.

"As you know we've been a bit busier with the Council lately, more and longer meetings." Lilas begins easing me into whatever it is they want to talk to me about and I nod in response letting him know that I'm following, "That's because we received some news… from Nerkise. It brought information on Rhistel's plans; he is planning war with us." I can feel myself pale as the blood drains from my face.

"War…"I can't help repeating quietly as I try to absorb the news, "What does that mean?"

"Well there'll be a few more meetings to determine our next course of action. But it's been decided that in a few days after Lady Hess's ball, where it'll be announced to the rest of the nobles, Kor and I will start heading north with the troops that are here. We'd hoped for slightly more time to organise and train troops but we're ready for this. Lilas will be staying here in the capital to keep working on defences and strategies for battles so you won't be alone." Bel informs me and I feel myself go cold.

"Y-you're leaving?" I'd known that if war was ever declared that they'd be leaving but facing the reality of it is different.

"Unfortunately yes but it shouldn't be for long. Rialria's army is larger than Nerkise's and the only reason Rhistel was able to take over was the element of surprise which he doesn't have now. Plus Bel and I have hundreds of years of battle experience so we'll be fine." Kor tells me his voice strong and confident which helps my nerves slightly but the idea of them going off to war is still terrifying.

"The other reason for the longer Council meetings is not just preparing for war. As you know for many years the Council have been trying get us to take over as Kings which we've been resisting, now with the first war in over 500 years looming we can't push them back any longer. Rialria needs more than just the Council now so, as long as you agree, we'll step forward and be declared as the rulers of Rialria at the ball." Lilas continues giving me more sudden news, it's such a massive decision and I'll only have a few days to make my choice.

"How long has the Council been discussing this?" I ask needing to know that they hadn't hidden it from me.

"We only just agreed to it at yesterday's meeting that's why it took so long. We've never wanted to be Kings but with the dangers Rialria is facing we have no other choice, reports on coming in from many cities about groups that support Rhistel's actions and want the same to happen here. It was so late when we got back that we just let you sleep and tell you this morning after we'd had some time to adjust ourselves. You don't have to make your choice now, there is some time left." Bel tells me placing one of his hands on top of mine stopping me from the nervous playing with my skirt that I'd unknowingly started, "The Council want to announce it at the ball along with the oncoming war they think that it'll help calm people when the war is announced. But none of this will happen if you're not comfortable with it. And it shouldn't change much, we'll be keeping the Council on as advisors so other than our titles very little will change."

"O-okay, I agree." There's not really a way I can refuse, not with the reasoning they've given. With war so close I'll need to do what I can to help even if that means taking up a role that I don't think I'm ready for. I just really hope that Bel's right about it not changing much.

"You're very brave Kitten." Kor tells me watching me with a proud look in his eyes and I can't help but smile relieved by his trust in me.

Drawing myself out of the memory I get ready for tonight's ball with Talindra's help wanting to take extra care of my appearance not just for the sake of the ball but for my mates, they always say that I look beautiful no matter what I wear but I want tonight to be special. Once I'm dressed in the now completed dress Bel made for me along with the necklace from Kor, Talindra sits me down and tackles my hair pulling it into an elegant bun complete with the ruby crown that my mates had given me in preparation for the announcement they'll be making.

Declared finished by Talindra after a final look over I head downstairs to join my mates who had sent word that they would wait for me in the drawing room. Nervously I enter worried slightly about tonight's announcements and how people will react to them. Seeing me enter they all stand and I see the crowns that they'd told me they would be wearing for the first time. They're all wearing matching crowns that still manages to match their different outfits.

"You all look amazing." I tell them only having seen them dressed casually before tonight. They never even bothered dressing up for Council meetings and they'd told me that if it wasn't for me they wouldn't be going to the ball, it means a lot that they're doing this for me.

"Well you look beautiful, my love." Bel replies walking over kissing my cheek before leading me over to sit down on one of the settees.

"He's right." Lilas says smiling at me as Kor grunts in agreement, out of them all he's the most reluctant about the ball but he's trying. He'd mentioned that balls make him uncomfortable as though he doesn't fit in, instead he'd rather be out training the soldiers like he's been doing since they first started arriving almost three weeks ago.

"We should get going." Kor grunts standing and holding out a hand for me, offering to escort me there. Still shaking slightly after all they've told me I place my hand in Kor's letting him gently pull me up off the settee and then out the door towards my first ball.

By the time we arrive at Lord and Lady Hess's manor the ball has already started, carriages are arriving with guest from all over Hadlau and there's a line waiting to be admitted into the ball. I thought we'd have to join them but to my surprise Kor leads me straight past them right to the door and no one complains. Instead they bow or curtsy as we pass uttering greetings seeming to be shocked by my mates presence at the ball.

"My Lords, my Lady. Welcome, Lord and Lady Hess have been awaiting your arrival." The butler informs us as we enter giving a nod to a footman to escort us the rest of the way to the ballroom. By now I know the way there very well but follow behind the footman anyway who stops us at the doors whispering something to a servant positioned at the doors before bowing and leaving us there. This seems to be normal though as my mates don't say anything, simply standing waiting for the doors to the ballroom to be opened.

"Lord Ruikor, Lord Lilas, Lord Belath and Lady Emilia." The unknown servant announces as the doors are opened and we walk through. As we enter the ballroom everyone present turns and stares at us.

"Why are they all staring?" I whisper feeling slightly uncomfortable with all those eyes watching me.

"It's not often we attend any balls, parties or feasts thrown by the nobility. Plus it's the first time many of them are seeing us together." Lilas leans down slightly to whisper in my ear from where he's standing next to me. Luckily as we move further into the ballroom everyone stops staring, helped by the arrival of Lord and Lady Hess moving through the crowd themselves to greet us.

"My Lords. My Lady, welcome. Thank you for coming." Lord Hess greets as they come to a stop in front of us.

"Lord Hess, thank you for your invitation." Lilas replies before turning to Lady Hess, "And Lady Hess thank you for including Emmy."

"It was a pleasure including Lady Emilia in the planning, Lord Lilas." Lady Hess tells him with a smile as she turns to me, "Welcome Lady Emilia. I hope you enjoy yourself tonight." Approaching me she pulls me into a gentle hug.

"I'm sure I will. I've been looking forward to it for weeks now." I tell her happily barely able to contain my excitement.

"That's true, over the last week she's talked about today non-stop." Bel joins in wrapping an arm around my waist and kissing my cheek.

"Well, we'll let you carry on. We have more guests to greet and once everyone is here the Council can make their announcements." Lady Hess replies giving a curtsy before leaning slightly more towards us, "Your Majesties." She whispers with a wink before moving on to greet other guests.

"Something tells me she's been waiting all day to do that." Bel quips as we make our way further into the ballroom, "Now would you care to dance, my love?" He asks me all but dragging me to the dance floor when I nod. He's been teaching me how to dance over the past month in preparation for the ball so we easily join the other couples on the dance floor.

As Bel and I move in a waltz around the dance floor I catch sight of Kor and Lilas talking to a few other guests I don't recognise, one is an orc which I've never seen before, while sipping at drinks. They're still keeping an eye on us though even while they talk.

"They're talking to some of the Council members. Borgan the Orc Councillor, Kavarthon the Dragon Councillor and Raziel the Vampire Councillor." Bel informs me as he notices that I've been looking over at them. As the dance ends Bel and I re-join Kor and Lilas where they're still talking to the Council members.

"Lord Belath. Lady Emilia." The Councillors greet as we join them and their conversation pauses.

"Emmy these are some of the Council members. Borgan, Kavarthon and Raziel." Lilas introduces me to them pointing out each one, "We were just discussing the upcoming announcements. While we'd prefer to do them at the end of the ball so as not to ruin the party there's no other way to do but at the start. Otherwise people will leave before the announcement and then the news won't reach the people it needs to and those that miss out will be offended."

"Humans are easily offended." Borgan grunts out getting stern looks from my mates at his words.

"Watch yourself Borgan. Emmy is human." Kor growls out warningly.

"And Lord Belath and I were both once humans." Raziel adds to my surprise.

"My apologies Lady Emilia. I meant no offence." Borgan says bowing his head in apology to me.

"It's okay Councillor Borgan, I know you meant nothing by it. And I agree, even though I've only been here a short time I've seen how easily offended some of these nobles are." My reply gets agreeing smiles and nods from the beings around me, all of them either immortal or long-lived so I suppose to them humans are more like children worrying and becoming offended about petty things.

"We'll start with declaring the war before the other announcement." Lilas continues, "Hopefully that way it'll keep things calm rather than having people panic about war. They'll need to know we have everything handled." They continue discussing the best way to make the announcements while I stay quiet sipping at a glass of water.

"Kitten, dance?" Kor suddenly asks, he's been quiet for the last few minutes as the others talk. I jump slightly at his question not expecting him to willingly dance but I nod in response anyway letting him lead me out onto the dance floor.

The dance is different than the waltz that Bel and I were dancing to earlier and it's one that I haven't really practiced before. Kor seems to know what to do though or at least doesn't care what the dance should be as he spins me around the dance floor and lifting me up into the air. I can't help laughing as we dance which only seems to urge Kor on, spinning me faster and lifting me higher. I don't even care that all the spinning is causing some of my hair to fall out of the style Talindra had arranged it in earlier, luckily not enough to dislodge the crown which somehow stays put on my head.

"Have fun?" Lilas asks grinning at us when we return at the end of the dance, the councillors have all left so it's just Bel and Lilas waiting for us. Red-faced and grinning I nod in response while Kor only smirks at them but his eyes are bright and happy.

"Everyone's almost here, the announcements will be made then. Then Lady Hess has suggested that we have dinner to give people a chance to calm down and discuss it among themselves in a place that's more easily managed. She's fully prepared to kick out anyone who causes trouble." Bel tells us. Sure enough not long after that a footman approaches us.

"My Lords, my Lady. The Council are calling for you, it's time." He informs us, leading us to the small stage set up in the ballroom. Waiting for us there is the entire Council and Lady Hess, all prepared for what is about to happen. After a short discussion it's decided that Lord and Lady Hess, being the hosts, will start everything off then the Council will join them.

"My Lords, my Ladies if we could have your attention." Lord Hess calls out as the music quiets down gaining everyone's attention.

"Thank you for joining us here tonight to celebrate my Lord husband's appointment as the Human Councillor. We will be going through for dinner shortly but before that the Council have a few announcements to make." Lady Hess continues before stepping towards the back of the stage allowing the Council to take centre stage.

"Thank you Lady Hess." The Elf Councillor who I haven't met yet says, "As you are all aware the Council of Nerksie has been overthrown and in response to that we've been preparing troops for the possibility of war."

"War is no longer a possibility, but a certainty. Recent news from Nerkise confirms that Rhistel, the new so-called King of Nerkise, plans to invade our beloved Rialria next." Raziel takes over and at his words people begin muttering and panic is starting to rise. "In a few days' time the troops gathered here will begin marching north to defend the border. Our army is greater than that of Nerkise so once it has gathered at the border we have made plans to march on Rhistel and his army with the aim to re-take Nerkise."

"That is not our only announcement. When the Gods departed these lands after creating the Stones they left behind a wish. It was their wish that Lords Ruikor and Lilas, along with their future mates, take over as rulers of Rialria." Kavarthon informs the watching nobles. Knowing what's coming next I start to shake slightly at least until Lilas and Bel each take hold of one of my hands, offering support and stopping me from shaking.

"At that time Lord Ruikor and Lilas did not feel ready to rule on their own so the Council assumed the rule of Rialria. Now with such a war looming after over 500 years of peace they, along with their mates, have agreed to assume rule of Rialria." The Elf Councillor announces gesturing for us to join the Council on the stage. Together we walk up the few steps to take our place on stage. "I present to you King Ruikor, King Lilas, King Belath and Queen Emilia. Rulers of Rialria."

"Long may they reign!" shouts out Borgan making me jump especially as the crowd in front of me breaks out in applause and cheers as they repeat his words. Lilas releases my hand and steps forward slightly raising his hands to try and get he crowd to quiet down so he can speak, it takes a few minutes before they fall silent.

"Thank you. We have always believed that the Council is a vital part of ruling, having each race and their interests represented, so although we have now been declared as rulers the Council will continue on. They will be our advisors and regents, when needed." Lilas's statement is met with more cheers which take a while to calm down. "With war looming it has been decided that Kor and Bel will be heading north to lead our troops in the battles against Rhistel. Now we should all continue dancing and enjoy the delicious food that Lady Hess has so generously arranged for us."

With the announcements finished everyone disperses as the music starts up again, some going straight to the dance floor while others head over to the food tables picking at the offered food. I walk off the stage together with my mates happy to no longer have everyone's attention focused on us. Likely sensing that I need a distraction from what just happened Lilas leads me out onto the dance floor where a waltz is playing again.

Dancing with Lilas is closer to the steps of the actual dance than when I danced with Kor and more controlled than with Bel. Lilas moves with his usual easy grace, which is useful for dancing so it's easy to place my trust in him and follow his lead through the dance. As the song ends we re-join the others who have collected some plates of food for us.

Knowing that there'd be guests of every race here Lady Hess made sure that blood was available for vampires, some raw meat for dragons along with other favourites of the various races. Kor's plate is piled high with food from all over the table I spot some pieces of raw meat on the plate along with some of the different cakes on offer, he's happily picking at all of it though currently holding a chicken leg. Bel is grinning as we return to them while sipping at a glass of blood.

"Looks like you two had fun." He says drinking more of his blood, "I'll have to thank Lady Hess, not many human nobles remember to offer blood. But Lady Hess she's not only done that but mixed it with alcohol, it's been too long since I've something this nice."

"Gods, you're going to be terrible." Lilas replies taking hold of his plate from Bel, "We don't let you drink alcohol mixed blood because you're uncontrollable when you're drunk."

"What if I promise not to drink too much?" Bel pleads pouting at Lilas.

"That's what you said last time. We found you running around the fields naked." Kor grunts looking slightly amused at the memory. I can't help laughing myself at the idea.

"It was one time." Bel cries outraged, "How about this one more glass then just normal blood, deal?"

Lilas and Kor share a look seeming to have a brief conversation without words before nodding in agreement to Bel's suggestion. Cheering slightly he returns to the food tables saying he's grabbing another before they change their minds. I can't help giggling but at the same time it makes sense, I can easily image Bel doing strange things while drunk.

"Bel seems to be having fun." I comment as my laughter dies down.

"He's just over excited about the alcohol. So long as he doesn't strip or burn anything down it should be fine. Although he might end up hornier than usual, which is saying something." Lilas tells me, over the past month it has become easier to talk about sex with them so I only giggle again at his statement. Since we've been discussing sex more often it's become clear that out of them all Bel loves sex the most but I don't really know why, from what they've said there seems to be a reason that they haven't told me yet.

"What you talking about?" Bel asks as he returns a glass in both hands now.

"Just about how you're going to be horny tonight." Kor informs him bluntly to Bel's amusement who breaks out laughing.

"Really. And is there any talk about doing something about it, my loves?" Sipping at one of the glasses Bel leans against Kor looking up at him questionably. I can't help blushing slightly at his words but at the same time I take a deep breath before speaking.

"M-maybe…" They all turn and face me making me blush more and I look down not able to handle them looking at me while I speak, "I think I might be ready." I blurt the words out all at once before I could lose my nerve.

Bel quickly places his glasses down on the nearest table before wrapping me in a hug. Next to us Kor and Lilas watch us in shock.

"Are you sure?" Kor asks watching my face for any signs of doubt. Bel pulls back from the hug watching me as well.

"Y-yes. I think so." Under their scrutiny I can't help but stutter the words out. It seems to reassure them though as they all nod in acceptance.

"I think it's time for another dance." Bel declares taking hold of my hand and pulling me out onto the dance floor. He doesn't seem to care what the song they're playing is as he starts dancing, I follow his leading laughing along with. I'm glad he's done this; it's taking my mind of the slightly awkward conversation that we'd just had even if though it was one that we needed to have.

"Thank you for the distraction." I tell him, slightly out of breath from the dancing.

"No problem." Bel replies not even slightly out of breath as we re-join the others, "It's given us all time to adjust to surprising, but very welcome, request. And I'm sure that while we've been busy dancing Kor and Li have been talking about tonight, I'm not sure whose had more fun."

"Is Bel teasing you?" Lilas asks when we join them noticing that my face is too red to be just from the dancing. I give a small nod as Bel laughs slightly shaking his head.

"Only a little bit." He adds as Kor and Lilas turn their attention to him, "All I said was that you two might have been talking about later tonight while we were dancing." They shake their heads fondly but don't mention it again. Instead we head over to one of the seating areas that have been set up throughout the ballroom so that we can rest for bit and be able to sit and eat peacefully.

It's the early hours of the morning by the time the ball starts coming to an end. I've spent a lot of the night dancing with my mates, mainly Bel and Lilas but even Kor danced with me a few more times than I thought he would. Despite all the dancing and the early hour I don't feel tired at all but I am ready to go home.

"Maryam, I just wanted to say goodnight, and thank you, before we left." I tell Maryam having tacked her down after my mates had suggested that we return home now.

"Goodnight Emilia. I'm glad you've enjoyed yourself, now remember if you need help with anything just let me know." She says before having to continue saying goodbye to other guests. With using her ball for the announcements she'd been informed about it all at the same time I was so I'd been able to discuss it with her. Maryam had helped me understand what will be expected of me as Queen which has helped me adjust, at least slightly, to the new title. Hopefully with her help and guidance I'll be able to do well, I'll be expected to sponsor charities, host parties like tonight's ball and greeting foreign ambassadors. Although that last one might be far off with the upcoming war.

"Let's get you home." Bel says wrapping an arm around my waist to guide me outside. Lilas and Kor follow close behind us, Lilas leaning against Kor resting his head against Kor's arm.

The palace is quieter than it's been since the first day we got here, ever since there has been servants around at nearly all times. Knowing that we'd be back late the servants had been given the night off so although it's strange arriving to the quiet it's not surprising. We keep quiet as we head upstairs to our bedroom though, some of the servants might still have stayed here and we don't want to wake them.

As we reach the corridor leading to our bedroom Bel pulls me into a kiss, ever since my admission that I'm ready for sex he's spent the night teasing all of us. He's been kissing us all night as well, short ones at first but as the night went on they kept getting longer and this one is no different. Now that we're in the privacy of our own home he doesn't hold back, pressing me against the nearest wall so that I'm trapped between the wall and his body. Having the wall to support me Bel wastes no time exploring my mouth with his tongue while one of his hands ventures down my body mapping the curves and the other cups my face tilting my head slightly to give him better access.

He only pulls away as I start running out of breath instead he turns his attention to kissing along my neck. Moaning I tilt my head giving him more room and from the new position I can see Kor and Lilas watching us from the opposite wall. Lilas is leaning back against Kor occasionally lifting his head slightly so they can share brief kisses before returning to watching Bel kissing my neck.

"Bedroom." Kor commands after giving Lilas another kiss. Bel doesn't seem to hear as he makes no move to continue into the bedroom. Noticing that he isn't stopping Kor pulls Bel away from him, making him release a whine at least until Kor drags Bel into a deep kiss himself. Using that as a distraction Lilas takes my hand to lead me into the bedroom before Bel can realise what's going on and return to his attack on my neck, which I'm sure will be thoroughly marked in the morning.

Once we get into the bedroom Lilas and I sit down on the bed sharing short, sweet kisses until Kor and Bel join us.

"No fair, you stole Emmy." Bel complains although not really meaning it based on his smile as he takes a seat next to Lilas. Kor stays standing near the door watching us as Bel and Lilas take turns kissing me and each other but making no move to join us on the bed yet.

"Share Bel." Kor grunts gaining our attention as he starts walking towards the bed, removing his tunic as he comes closer. Tossing it to the side he stands in front of us leaning down to kiss me, Lilas then Bel. "My mates." He purrs out happily watching us with a possessive gleam in his eyes.

"Our possessive dragon." Bel returns jumping on Kor wrapping his arms and legs around Kor leaning down from his new height to draw Kor into a deep kiss. Lilas and I watch them kiss for a moment before returning to kissing each other again. Running his hands up and down my side Lilas eventually moves his hand to the front of my dress, playing with the ties and pulling back to look me in the eyes silently asking for permission to undo them. I nod leaning back in to continue kissing him as he easily start undoing the ties.

With the ties loose I stand up pushing the dress off standing before my mates in just my underclothes for the first time. Lilas is staring making me blush slightly which only deepens when I notice that Kor and Bel have stopped kissing to stare as well.

"So beautiful." Lilas whispers standing himself and beginning to remove his own clothes, starting with the crown. Bel jumps down from where he'd wrapped himself around Kor coming over to me and helping remove my own crown which Talindra had secured to my head so well that there'd have been no I could have done it on my own.

Before long all of us are almost naked, I'm only in my underwear while the others are all shirtless. Us all being equal is making me less nervous about my state of undress. Bel looks briefly at all of us seemingly trying to decide what to do next before he pounces on Lilas pinning him to the bed in a deep kiss. I watch fascinated as they take this kiss further than I'd ever seen as Bel runs his hands along Lilas's chest, one hand staying playing with one of his nipples while the other reaches down and into Lilas's trousers.

"Kitten." Kor says as he approaches wrapping me in a hug from behind so that he can still see Lilas and Bel over my head. "Are you sure?"

"Yes." I reply knowing that he's asking if I'm sure this is what I want. Earlier I was slightly nervous and unsure if I was truly ready but now I know. I want to have sex with my mates.

"Good." He purrs before spinning me around and lifting me up to kiss me. He starts walking back over to the bed, not even watching where he's walking, until he's close enough to lightly toss me onto the bed. The feeling on me landing on the bed disturbs Lilas and Bel from their kissing.

"Hey Emmy." Lilas says smiling and giving me a brief kiss, "So how do you want to do this?" I hadn't actually thought about that.

"Bel first." Kor states making us all turn our attention to him as he comes and joins us on the bed sitting down next to us, "He's the most experienced." That's true, when we'd starting talking more about sex I'd learnt that Lilas has only ever had sex with them and Kor had only slept with a few people before us. Bel on the other hand had much more experience although he hasn't talked too much about the details.

"Emmy?" Bel asks turning and facing me waiting for my response. Looking into his eyes and seeing the want there I can't trust myself to speak so instead I kiss him, deeply and passionately pouring my own want into the kiss. He returns it with just as much passion rolling us slightly so he's on top, the perfect position to deepen the kiss even more as his hands start exploring my body. One of his hands tangles itself in my hair giving Bel control of my head and its position as we kiss while his free hand sets to work undoing the ties of my corset and removing the last of my clothes.

Panting I try to catch my breath as Bel pulls away slightly needing room to remove his trousers. I sit up slightly as well using the space between us to finish taking off my underclothes, tossing them to side not caring where they land. While I'm stripping I notice Kor and Lilas have moved themselves to the head of the bed, sitting against the headboard kissing and touching each other while they watch Bel and me. At some point they've stripped themselves although from my position I can't see all of them, although over the last month I've seen them shirtless often I've still not seen them completely naked. That fact doesn't last much longer though as Bel finishes stripping and leans back down over me, taking in my own naked state for the first time.

"You're perfect." He breathes out as he looks me over from head to toe, his scrutiny making me blush. He cups one of my cheeks rubbing his thumb over it, no doubt being able to feel the heat coming off from it.

"So are you." I reply looking at him as well, not being able to help blushing more as I look between his legs. It's the first time that I've seen a cock and I can't help but stare. Bel gently tilts my face back to his leaning down for a gentle kiss that quickly turns deeper the longer it goes on.

I let out a gasp as Bel brings one of his hands to my breast, cupping it gently and running his thumb over the nipple. Hearing my response I can feel Bel grin against my skin as he moves to kissing along my neck as he brings his other hand up to my other breast doing the same thing making me release a moan.

"Think she likes that Bel." I hear Lilas say from where he and Kor are still watching. Tilting my head towards them, giving Bel more access to my neck, I find that Lilas has moved to sitting between Kor's legs. Watching them my eyes drift down and let out another moan, in this new position Kor has a hand between Lilas's legs slowly stroking his cock. The sight of them together like that makes the strange feeling, which has been building since that first kiss from Bel earlier, even stronger.

"Something feels strange." I manage to moan out as Bel starts lightly pinching my nipples. He lets out a hum in response and moves one of his hands down between my legs, running his fingers gently along the most sensitive part of me.

"It's your pleasure, a very good thing Emmy. You're already so wet." He groans out next to my ear keeping his fingers there stroking up and down gently.

"F-feels good." I whimper as he brushes over something more sensitive, "W-what was that?"

"That." Bel tells me touching it again, "That is your clit. It's something that'll help you feel so good."

"Please." I beg wanting him to do more, I don't know exactly I'm asking for but I just know that I want it. He keeps to light touches not giving me anything else, it's driving me insane.

"Bel, stop teasing Kitten." Kor tells him. Obeying Bel removes his hands from where he's been touching me and instead he kisses his way down to between my legs. Locking eyes with me from there he smirks and then licks me. I let out a louder moan than I thought possible at the feeling, it is almost a scream.

"So sensitive Emmy." Bel quips as he continues kissing and licking me. I can't keep still, or quiet, as he continues making the pleasure he mentioned earlier grow. It keeps going until suddenly it's like something snaps and I let out a scream as the pleasure seems to reach a peak.

"Fuck." I vaguely hear Lilas moan out and looking over at him I see him breathing heavily. Looking down at where Kor had been stroking his cock I find that Kor's hand is covered in some white liquid and Lilas's cock isn't hard anymore. Bel moves back up from between my legs coming to rest next to me where he can watch Kor and Lilas as well.

"You did that Emmy. Watching you made Lilas come." Bel says, his breath right next to my ear making me shiver for some reason. "Poor Kor though. You and Lilas have both got to come, I got to taste you but Kor… our poor dragon is just hard and aching." Even though Bel's words are making me blush I can't help but want to hear more from him, he's making that strange pleasurable ache return between my legs.

A slightly strangled whimper from Lilas draws my attention back to the head of the bed but I can't tell what caused him to make that noise. Neither Lilas nor Kor seem to have changed positions but whatever's happened must be familiar to Bel as he releases a slight moan next to my ear. He starts trailing one of his hands along my body, the touch light and teasing never staying in one place for too long.

"This is going to be good." Bel tells me keeping his voice low and quiet speaking right next to my ear, "Do you want to know what Kor's doing to Li right now?"

"Please." I beg not taking my eyes off of them trying to figure out what's going on. Despite knowing that they're doing something I still can't tell what it is, but it has to feel good because all I can see is Lilas's cock twitching and getting hard again.

"Well, it seems Kor doesn't want to be left out anymore. So he's preparing Lilas." As he's speaking Bel's hand trails lower down between my legs stroking there gently like he had earlier, "Just like this." Suddenly I can feel him pushing one of his fingers inside of me, the feeling of just that one finger has me moaning.

"Gods." Lilas whimpers his eyes focused on where Bel's finger is disappearing inside me, "Kor please. More." Behind him Kor smirks as he leans forward slightly biting gently at the tips of one of Lilas's ears making him moan more then he does something that has Lilas's cock twitch with something leaking out the tip. The whole time Kor watches Bel's finger.

"Second." He grunts which means nothing to me at least until Bel works a second finger inside me.

"Looks like you and Lilas are going through this together. But you like that don't you, watching them is making you so wet Emmy." I'm too focused on the sight of Kor and Lilas as well as the feeling of his fingers to still feel embarrassed about my response to Bel's words which only seems to encourage him, "You're doing so well, such a good girl. We'll go at the same pace Kor is with Li. He'll work Lilas open slowly, probably four fingers, so we'll do the same. Get you nice and stretched for your first time."

I'm lost in pleasure then, never quite enough to reach that peak from before but I don't care as long as Bel doesn't stop. Moving from two to three then four fingers is driving me crazy especially when he starts spreading his fingers, gently stretching me. The whole time Kor does the same to Lilas in some sort of strange loop but even to my not fully focused mind it becomes clear that Kor is in charge.

"Kor. Please I'm ready." Lilas begs, it's all he's been saying for the past few minutes like those are the only words he knows now. It seems to finally work this time as Kor gently pushes Lilas forward until he's on his hands and knees, close enough to me and Bel that he's able to lean forward and kiss me. The kiss lasts only a moment before Lilas pulls back with a moan, looking past him I spot Kor has pulled his fingers out of Lilas and is instead reaching for a jar of something that I haven't noticed before.

"Think you're ready now Emmy." Bel breaths out next to my ear as he removes his fingers from me, I release the same type of broken that Lilas did at the loss. He leans over me sharing a brief kiss of his own with Lilas before moving to hover over the top of me. "You're sure you want this?" He asks reaching down with a hand to give his cock a few strokes, he's watching my face for any signs of reluctance but my own eyes follow his hand fascinated by the sight.

"Yes, I'm sure." I mutter returning to look at his face, "I want you." Wrapping my arms around his neck I pull him into a kiss, letting him know that I'm not backing out.

"Thank the Gods." He groans in relief releasing his cock to run his hand teasingly over my entrance, "I can't wait to fill you with my cock. It might hurt a bit though." I nod, they'd told me many times that my first time might hurt a bit but that they'd do everything they can to make it as pleasurable as possible.

"Please." I moan spreading my legs to give him access, wanting him inside desperately. Swearing under his breath he doesn't say anything more as he uses a hand to move his cock into position at my entrance. I can't help the shiver that comes over me as I feel the head of his cock against me before he's gently but firmly pushing inside of me.

"Gods, Emmy. You're tight. And wet." He grunts as he stills once the head of his cock is inside me, letting me adjust to the new feeling. Slowly he pushes a bit further in then pulling slightly out, he keeps this motion up pushing in slightly further every time until he reaches something. "Okay this is the bit that might hurt." Without any more warning he draws me into a deep kiss as he thrusts firmly inside me. Breaking the barrier that they'd told me about which does hurt slightly but it quickly fades in favour of the feeling of Bel's cock moving inside me.

"Fucking perfect." Kor growls out, I'd been so distracted by Bel that I'd almost forgot that Kor and Lilas were right next to us. Only vaguely aware of the moans coming from them. Breaking the kiss with Bel I turn my head towards them and can't help the loud moan that escapes me at the sight of them. Kor is kneeling behind Lilas and has hold of his hips, pulling Lilas almost roughly back into his own hips. Despite how rough and painful it seems Lilas is moaning and pushing back into Kor begging for more, faster, harder.

Bel continues gently working his cock into me until he's managed to fit all of himself inside me. He tilts my head back towards him for another kiss while keeping still letting me get used to the incredible full feeling. I'd thought that having him inside me would feel just like his fingers but it's even better, maybe it's the more intimate connection with Bel that's making it better.

"Doing so well, Emmy." He groans out next to me clearly feeling as good as I do, "Feels so good around my cock. I'm going to move now." Waiting for me to nod he starts pulling out of me before thrusting back inside. He goes slow at first but soon settles into a gentle steady pace, nothing like the harsh fast pace that Kor is moving at.

I lose myself in the feeling of Bel's cock and the pleasure it brings. Somehow it feels greater than that peak I'd reached earlier when Bel was licking down there. Next to us Kor is easily turning Lilas into a moaning mess, the only words that seem to leave Lilas now are pleas for more and Kor's name. I look over when Lilas releases a strangled moan to find that he's come, the white liquid from before covering the bed. Behind him Kor growls loudly thrusting hard into Lilas a few more times before stilling deep inside Lilas with a grunt. After a moment he falls back against the pillows resting and pulling Lilas, who almost seems to be asleep, to lie next to him stroking his hair.

"Fuck." Bel moans having turned his attention to them as well although he doesn't stop moving his cock into me. Something about seeing them like that has the tightening I'd felt before building even more than that first time, but I can't seem to reach that same peak.

"Bel please. I need…" I don't know what I need but I'm hoping that Bel, or any of them know what it is.

"Don't worry. I know, I can feel your pussy gripping me. You're so close Emmy." Grunting slightly Bel sets a faster pace which has me moaning at how good it feels. He's still taking care not to hurt me though and even this faster pace doesn't seem enough.

Kor suddenly moves next to me, having caught his breath after resting for a bit. Lilas on the other now seems to be fast asleep. At first Kor doesn't do anything as he lies down next to me simply watching Bel thrusting into me from closer than before.

"You want to come, don't you Kitten?" He growls out, his voice low and deep in my ear. Whimpering I nod facing him and silently begging, wanting what I can see promised in his eyes. A deep purr rumbling in his chest he moves slightly away from my head so he's in a better position to reach both me and Bel. "My pretty mates. You're close as well aren't you Bel?"

"Y-yes, please Kor." Bel begs looking over at Kor. Smirking Kor reaches the arm nearest Bel around him and then does something that I can't see from where I am but from the way it manages to throw Bel off rhythm it must feel good. Turning his attention to me Kor brings his free hand to one of my breasts and starts playing with the nipple.

"Kitten, bring your legs up a bit. Wrap them around Bel." Listening I quickly wrap my legs around Bel's hips and moan out as the new position allows him to thrust in deeper. "Good girl." Kor purrs out as he moves his hand off my breast and instead down to where Bel and I are joined. Then he rubs my clit, sending me screaming over the edge.

It feels more intense than last time and seems to last longer. I'm so overwhelmed that I'm only vaguely aware of Bel growling and stilling inside me after only a few more thrusts. As I start to return to normal I feel one of them cleaning between my legs with a warm, wet cloth before I'm picked up and set down next to Lilas. Too tired to do anything else I cuddle close to him and fall asleep never having felt more relaxed or as close to my mates than now.
