Noryad, still lost in thought, doesn’t realize that he’s heading back to the Throne Room to talk to Coral. When he realizes where he’s heading he stops. He is indecisive of how to approach the situation. He snaps his finger as he comes up with an idea and calls for Irrony to come to him.
When the little girl appears he notices that she is still a little afraid of him so he drops to one knee and looks her in the eye, “Irrony, are you afraid of me?” She looks at the floor in shame and nods her head slightly. Noryad puts one finger under her chin and lifts her head until their eyes meet. He smiles sweetly at her, which makes her smile, and asks, “Can you talk, Irrony?”
“Yes, Milord.” She answers.
“You have a beautiful voice, Irrony. I have a favor to ask of you and I will appreciate it greatly.”
“But Milord, you are the King, you don’t need to be so humble to someone that isn’t even supposed to be this close to you.”
“My dear little Irrony, I may be the King, but that doesn’t mean I should abuse my power. I treat everyone as an equal, not higher or lower, and because of that I am asking you. What I am asking you to do is very important. I need you to look for Coral, the most beautiful girl with silver hair and aqua eyes, in the Throne Room and bring her to me. Tell her that I need to talk to her and if she is available she should come to my room.”
Irrony smiles brightly at the task she’s been given. “I will, Milord,” she says and is about to disappear when Noryad speaks again.
“Irrony, I am Noryad. I don’t like being called ‘Milord’. It makes me feel old.”
Irrony’s smile gets even bigger as she responds. “Yes, Noryad,” she responds and disappears.
Noryad heads back to his room as he says aloud to himself, “Now let’s hope she decides to come talk to me.”

Coral is wiping her eyes and apologizing to Merlin for breaking down when she hears a little voice speaking from beside her, “Umm, beautiful lady?”
Coral turns to see who spoke and spots Irrony standing a few feet from her. “Irrony, are you referring to me?”
“Yes ma’am. That’s who Noryad said to look for. ‘The most beautiful girl with silver hair and aqua eyes,’ and I have to agree with him.”
“I am glad you see me as beautiful, Irrony, but Noryad doesn’t see me that way.”
Irrony crosses her heart as she says, “Yes he does and those were his exact words.”
Coral raises her hands in defeat, “Ok Irrony, you win.”
Irrony smiles and jumps around happily for a second before she looks at Coral again. “Noryad asked me to tell you that he needs to talk to you and that if you are available, could you go to his room?”
Coral nods she looks at Merlin, “Why would he call for me?”
“I don’t know child, but you might as well take this chance to clear things up. You may not get another one.”
Coral looks at Irrony and asks, “Can you tell him that I will be on my way in just a second?”
Irrony nods, “Yes ma’am.” Then she disappears and reappears in front of Noryad in his room. “She says that she will be heading here in just a second.”
Noryad smiles, “Thank you, Irrony. You don’t have anyone to protect you do you?” Irrony shakes her head and Noryad summons Nohar mentally. Nohar appears beside Noryad instantly and Noryad looks at Irrony, “You remember Nohar, the Commander of the King’s Elite Guard?”
“Yes I do, I like him.”
Noryad nods and looks at Nohar, “Commander, I need you to take care of Irrony until she decides it is time to leave.”
“Yes Milord,” he responds to Noryad then he looks at Irrony. “Irrony, grab my hand. We are going home.”
Irrony smiles and jumps up and down before she sprints to Nohar and grabs his hand. Once she does they both disappear, leaving Noryad alone in his room. Noryad takes off his chainmail and shirt, but before he can remove anything else he feels Coral in the room with him. He turns around and locks eyes with her, “Thank you for coming, Coral.”
Chapter 22
Coral watches as Noryad turns around shirtless and her mouth goes dry. Her desire for him is so strong he can feel it radiating from her and see it shining in her eyes. “Thank you for coming, Coral.”
She is so consumed by her desire that she doesn’t register his words for a moment until she hears the hint of betrayal in Noryad’s voice. Her desire diminishes completely as she looks at Noryad, the only man who has ever ignited this raging inferno of desire within her. She shuts down her feelings and latches onto the fact that he rejected her because of her actions, but with no chance to explain herself. Now he has called her because he needs to talk to her. What in the world does he want to talk to me about? she asked herself before she took a deep breath and addressed him. “Mr. King, to what do I owe the honor of your summons?”
“Aren’t you going to take a seat?” Noryad asks, causing Coral to sigh, walk to the chair closest to her and sit down. Noryad uses his telepathic powers to call his chair and he sits across from Coral so he can talk to her face to face. “Goddess, I know I have been evading you the past few days, but I don’t like being lied to and you should know that. A wise man told me that I need to hear your side of the story before I decide what actions to take. If you lie to me I will know it and I don’t want to resort to the method of having your soul tell me. You may be a Goddess, but you hold a soul like everyone else and I am the King in that realm. I’m giving you the chance to fix the image I have of you.”
Coral is surprised by the Noryad that is in front of her, but she knows she needs to do this so she takes deep breath and begins speaking to him with her mind: Over the course of the years I have been alone, taking care of prophecies and trying to save mankind, but no matter what I did nothing helped. The more I tried to change their fate, the more my throne was being hunted. The problems started to approach my kingdom and the other Gods and Goddesses wanted me to relinquish my Goddess status because I wasn’t supposed to be alone for a long period of time. I needed to find someone who would keep them at bay, so I started to look for my consort. One who would be my mate until my time was up. I knew that I was supposed to have my one true mate by my side, but my powers prevented me from finding him because I am not permitted to use my power to benefit myself and that would cause me to lose my Goddess status. I kept looking for my mate until I came across a letter from the Goddess before me. The letter said, “Only the King of Death will set the balance once and for all and only a Goddess of Fate will be his mate. The one with silver hair will meet him, but she will not know him as her mate until he announces his status as the King of Death. Her own mistakes may make her loose him, only he will find her worthy. Will she fix her mistake? Or will she fail to find true love.” As I continued my search for the King of Death, Albert Rose crossed my path. He was humble and he was in line for God status. I knew if I married him my kingdom would have been saved. He started to court me and I gave in because I found him attractive. He knew my situation and he offered to be my consort, knowing that I would never love him. I never felt any kind of spark, and I thought I never would, until….
She closes off her thoughts and smiles, remembering that touch she and Noryad felt. After a moment she breaks off that train of thought and continues: I agreed to marry him if I didn’t find the King of Death within a year. I would marry him and have a child with him, which would ensure the kingdom wouldn’t fall into another’s hands. What I realized too late was that he wanted my kingdom. She shuts down her thoughts and continues out loud, “The reason I didn’t say anything is because I didn’t know you are the King of Death until today and I didn’t want anything to stop what was happening between us. Somehow Albert caught the news and decided to make sure you never approached me, and he got what he wanted. He has told me to stay away from you or you will be killed.”
She stops talking when Noryad bursts out laughing. He gets up from his chair and pulls Coral from hers, the intensity of his ga
ze immobilizing her. The next thing she knows she is pinned against the wall with Noryad’s body pressing against hers. Despite the jolt of electricity running through their bodies, the desire threatens to consume them. Noryad lowers his head until his lips hover less than an inch above hers and he whispers, “I decide if I stay away from you.” Then he captures her mouth in a kiss so intense it weakens her knees.
She wraps her arms around his neck as he grabs her thighs and lifts her. He carries her to his bed and starts slowly taking her clothes off as he continues to devour her mouth. He breaks the kiss and presses his lips to her neck in a gentle kiss before he softly bites it, causing her to moan in pleasure. He continues kissing and biting her neck as he works his way to her collar bone. He bites softly on the tender flesh there and she moans loudly again. He kisses his way back up her neck to her ear and bites it gently before kissing his way back down. He kisses and gently bites his way down her neck again until he reaches her breasts.
He cups one breast in his hand and rubs the taunt nipple with his thumb, causing her to bite down on her bottom lip. He locks eyes with her and in a gruff, desire-filled voice he utters the one word she never thought she would hear, “MINE!” Then he lowers his head and softly licks one of her rose colored nipples before pulling it into his mouth and gently sucking while rolling the other between his thumb and forefinger. Before switching breasts he bites down just hard enough to leave his teeth marks around her nipple, causing her to cry out in pain-filled pleasure. He continues to worship her body by kissing and licking his way down. When he reaches the juncture of her thighs he’s ready to lap at her juices, but she stops him just before he can dive into her sweet, exotic heat, “Stop, it’s my turn now.”
Chapter 23
Coral gets out from under Noryad and makes him lay on the bed as she slowly climbs on top of him. Her sex rubs against his thigh as she captures his mouth in a kiss. As she coaxes his lips open with her tongue and deepens the kiss his hands roam her body, making her moan against his mouth. She breaks the kiss and bites his bottom lip before pulling it into her mouth to suck. When she releases his lip she kisses her way down his neck to his chiseled chest, darting her tongue out to softly lick his nipple before gently biting it.
Kissing her way down his abs she dips her tongue into his navel before working her way down his V. When she reaches the point she pauses and looks up into his desire-filled hazel eyes before she looks down to see the evidence of his desire calling for her attention. She licks her lips and looks at him again with desire, ownership and hunger shining in her eyes. She wraps her hand around his rock hard shaft and says, “Mine!” before lowering her head and taking his pulsating length into her mouth.
She slowly slid him into her mouth until his head was against the back of her throat. His length and thickness causing her gag reflex to kick in as she continues taking him deeper in her mouth until her lips connect with his pelvis. As she slowly starts pulling away she lets her teeth gently scrape across the veins running through his shaft, savoring the taste of him. When she reaches his head she sucks hard causing him to groan deeply and move his hips, pushing himself back into her mouth.
She knows she’s taken him to his limit when he grabs her by her hair and starts to move his hips, thrusting into her mouth in deep strokes. She wraps her hand around his base so she can control how far into her mouth he pushes and starts pumping him as he’s fucking her mouth without abandon. After a few minutes she feels him go rigid and shout as he shoots his seed inside her mouth. She swallows his thick, salty cum and licks him clean as his muscles relax under her, but his shaft remains hard, like he hasn’t released his pent up desire.
Noryad pulls out of Coral’s mouth, surprised that even after that amazing release he wants more. He flips her onto the bed and spreads her legs. He rakes his gaze over her body and licks his lips in anticipation when his eyes lock on her glistening sex. Like a man possessed, he drops to his knees in front of her and spreads her legs further apart. She opens willingly as he lowers his head and starts teasing her clit with just the tip of his tongue.
She moans loudly and begs for more, “Please my King. Please taste me, claim me, make me yours.” Her pleas drive him over the edge and he closes his lips around her clit and sucks hard as he slips his finger inside of her, using his magic to enhance her sensations. She starts to squirm under his ministrations and she clinches tight around his pumping finger. “OH GOD! YES!” she cries out as she starts shaking and shatters around him.
Noryad continues to lick her, savoring in her flavor, until her shudders slow. Then he kisses his way up her body and settles himself between her legs. As his lips latch on to hers he enters her in one hard, deep thrust.
She cries out as his thickness fills her to the point of bursting. “You’re so big,” she says breathlessly as her insides clench tightly around him, making him grunt as he slowly starts moving his hips.
When he feels her relax around him he starts increasing the pace. His control snaps when she clinches tight again and he grabs her hips, raises her off the bed and starts pounding into her hard and fast, causing her to lose control. She wraps her legs around him and digs her nails into his arms as she holds on tight. He continues pounding into her as her body convulses from the incredible sensations running it.
He pulls out, causing her to whimper at the loss of him, and flips her over, pulling her to her knees in front of him. He knows he should slow down and cherish the gift of her, but he can’t rein in the beast. The sight of her ass in the air, begging for attention, causes him to break further. He reaches out and smacks her butt cheek hard, causing a jolt of electricity to run through her and she can’t help but cry out from the pleasure the pain brings. He smacks her butt again and she can feel the moisture dripping from her core and running down her thighs.
Wanting more, Noryad pushes himself inside of her from behind. Having never felt the sensations coursing through her body, Coral loses her breath for a moment and when Noryad grabs her by her hair she cries out in surprise. No one has ever possessed her like he is and she is discovering what she has been missing for the past six hundred years.
He pulls her head back harder by her hair and leans over her to bite her collar bone, making her clench around him. Her reaction causes something to snap inside him and he starts to pound into her from behind, reaching deeper than before. Surprised by the fierceness of his possession, she surrenders herself to him, giving him complete control over her body, mind and soul. Her body now belongs to him, and whether she wants to admit it or not, if Noryad decides to have her again after tonight, her body will respond to his touch.
Noryad is grunting and sweating as he rides the waves of pleasure Coral is bringing him. He knows they’re both enjoying the feel of each other’s bodies, but he has never felt this intense pleasure from anyone before. As his body reaches its breaking point he screams her name and spills his seed deep within her. She clenches tightly around him as she reaches her peak and explodes, too. They collapse together in a heap on the bed, Noryad on top of Coral. Afraid he is crushing her, he slowly moves to the side and she snuggles close to him. Laying her head on his chest, she listens to his erratic heartbeat and falls asleep instantly. Noryad drifts into sleep with nothing to haunt his dreams.
Chapter 24
Midnight
Noryad wakes with a start, feeling the presence of someone in the room besides himself and Coral. He opens his eyes, looks towards the door and sees that there is someone putting something on his door. Creating an invisible hand he reaches for the silhouette of the person at his door, but the person senses that there is someone awake, leaves whatever was in his hand and jumps out the window. Noryad, trying not to wake Coral, uses his powers to make his footsteps lighter so he wouldn’t make any sound as he gets out of bed and walks toward the spot where the silhouette was standing. He stops and looks down, finding a piece of paper on the floor he picks it up and reads it: I called you and you did not answer. Now you will find out wh
at happens when you don’t do as I told you. The news of this will make it to Albert. If you want this to remain a secret you must come to the church at Midnight tonight or I will destroy the souls of the dead…. Blake…
Noryad is so furious at the note that his powers shake the room. He knows he needs to calm down before he wakes Coral up so he takes a few deep, calming breaths before he gets dressed in his battle armor that he was using earlier. Once dressed he goes to Coral and kisses her on the lips, making sure he doesn’t wake her, and leaves. As soon as the door closes behind him he mentally calls Nohar; Nohar, have all the guards surround the church. I am heading there now.
A moment later he hears Nohar’s response: Yes Milord, it will be done.
He smiles his approval and heads to the church.
******
Blake is waiting at the church after being seen in the room by Noryad. He felt someone awaken in the room so he decided to jump out the window to avoid being caught and head toward the church, but now that he is at the church waiting for Noryad he is catching his breath. He knows Noryad will come because he threatened to destroy the souls of the dead he has captured, but, more importantly, he knows Noryad will come to keep the Goddess safe.
Blake gets the feeling he won’t come out of this alive when he opens the door of the church and sees the souls of the dead surrounding the church. He notices that they are more visible and hold a more solid form than before and knows that this is because of Noryad. From where he is standing he can see the catacombs, which are not far from the church, and when he looks back toward the castle he sees that Noryad is approaching the church.
