| Rathkanar first took Mari to a secluded spot in the forest, where he planned for the both of them to have a luxurious meal courtesy of his councelmen; they had prepared a supper for them so large that it seemed that both of them would be at the table for hours. And they were. Rathkanar and Mari ate their fill and talked for hours while one of the royal lyrists played for them. Shortly afterward, Rathkanar took Mari for a little walk around the forest, then finally returned to the stronghold. He brought Mari in his arms to his quarters, being sure not to wake anyone. The prince looked down upon Mari, who lay clothed on his bed. "It has been an evening to remember," he said. "You are a beautiful and dear girl to me, Mari. Will you share my bed with me this evening?" Mari gazed up at him. "Everything was wonderful," Mari said, smiling. "You are a loving young man, both a scholar and a gentleman. I shall lie with you tonight." Rathkanar was excited, but he only could smile. He knelt down beside the bed next to Mari. He kissed her over and over, and felt her body, and held her close to him. Finally, his big moment came; Rathkanar removed his cape, then began to remove Mari's clothing. First he untied her purple cloth and set it aside, folded neatly. He then undid the laces that kept her leotard held securely to her body, then pulled it down and off. Mari lay bare before him, staring at him intently as he removed his armor. Both of them finally were bare, each of them stimulated. Rathkanar laid down next to his naked mate, and Mari rolled onto her side. As they exchanged a few kisses, the young prince entered her, causing her to moan slightly. "Quiet," Rathkanar giggled. "It's all right. You feel all right, don't you?" "Yes, yes," Mari said, eager for them to continue. "Take me as I am, and let us enjoy this." For almost an hour, Rathkanar and Mari playfully rolled in bed together, making love and enjoying seeing each other together once and for all. It was very exciting for each of them; neither of them had made love before, and they were all dizzy with happiness and romance. Rathkanar was especially overjoyed; he had never seen the girl he loved bare before. Mari was a joy to see naked; she had perfect breasts and a trim figure, as well as slender legs and dainty feet, all orange and yellow and covered with brown rosettes. Neither Rathkanar nor Mari could stand to stay still while in bed; they often rolled back and forth, exchanging thrusts. At long last, Rathkanar and Mari became increasingly hot and began to sweat heavily, and with the sudden exhalation of a deep breath, both of them climaxed at once. Rathkanar fell back onto his bed, with Mari's face resting on his chest. Each of them were too exhausted to continue, but exchanged smiles and kisses until finally standing to stretch. The two of them then went to wash themselves clean together, often taking turns washing each other. Finally, Rathkanar and Mari returned to the bed; the sheets were somewhat rumpled, but it didn't seem to bother them as prince and wench climbed under them and laid down to admire each other naked. As they stared, they became sleepy from being exhausted from lovemaking and the time of the evening. After a few more kisses and touches, Rathkanar kissed Mari on the forehead, and the two fell asleep next to each other, Mari's hand resting on Rathkanar's. Chapter 3, part 1 |
