“There are Thousands of people in the arena! Any number of whom could come in! Now?! Really?!” Skye flustered as she stopped Tidas from his tugging at her dress’ strings.

“No one will come in here.. And even if they did.. No one would say anything.. We’re newlyweds.. It’ll be fine,” Tidas kissed along his wife’s neck as he’d spoken in a low, husky voice.

Tidas had wrapped his right arm around her lower back and pulled their hips together. Skye’s body fought against her judgement with everything it had. The fight she’d just been in and remembering Tidas’ demo fight earlier was affecting her like an aphrodisiac. Heat and need coursed throughout her body. Making her head tilt involuntary, giving her husband better access.

Tidas moved from Skye’s neck, to her shoulder, back to her neck, then up to the base of her ear. He suckled on her lobe while flicking at it with his tongue. Something he knew made her knees weak and lust flare.

Her husband’s skills were maddening when it came to the use of his fingertips and tongue. After a few moments, Tidas used his teeth to gently graze the edge of Skye’s ear as he held their lower halves together. He nipped a last time, then whispered in his wife’s ear; “If you want me to stop love, I’ll stop.. But just to be clear; I Really don’t want to.”

Skye could hear the restrained need in his words; feel it in his hot breath. She knew how badly the whole assassin situation must’ve shaken him. The desperation in his voice that she’d heard as he’d called out for her on the balcony had pained her heart greatly. Not to mention that he did win the demonstration bout..

When Tidas leaned back to hear his wife’s answer, Skye flashed her husband a coy smile; “I suppose I do owe ye a reward for yer victory.. But we do need to be quick.”

The prince smirked and quipped; “As I can be, but that depends upon you more than me..”

.....

Skye looked her husband in his eyes with an innocent expression; “What do ye mean by that?”

The prince couldn’t help but laugh. Innuendo wasn’t something Skye always picked up on, but her reactions were always worth it. Whether she understood it or not. He smiled at her with love reflected and said; “Take a seat and find out..”

Skye went and sat on the couch, then Tidas sat down on his knees in front of her. Without warning, the prince flipped up her skirts, pulled her underwear down, and immediately went to work on her most sensitive place. He rubbed at her bud with his fingers while dipping his tongue in and out of her sheath. The warmth of his tongue and the skill of his fingers quickly brought Skye to her first peak.

Tidas felt his wife’s entrance tightening as she muffled her cries of pleasure with the folds of her dress. As she panted, he quickly stood up and began to remove his armor. The sensor suit was one solid piece, and required him to remove it to get to the zipper.

Standing nearly completely naked in the storage room, Tidas told Skye to flip around. She happily complied; re-lifting her skirts after newly positioning herself. She didn’t have a favorite position with Tidas yet, but this one was in the running.

Teasing his wife, Tidas lightly ran his tip up and down along Skye’s entryway. The warm wetness felt pleasant, and made him want to tease her a bit first.. Which made Skye inpatient. She tried several times to slam against him, but to no avail. Finally becoming frustrated; Skye reached back, grabbed his hard cock, and pushed herself onto him.

Tidas had been amused by his wife taking the lead like she did. He loved how their passions matched so perfectly; neither could get enough of the other. He slammed deeply into Skye, making her moan loudly into her dress. Tidas repeated the action with a steady increase in pace, making his wife buck against him without restraint. If she hadn’t shoved some of her dress into her mouth, a passerby might think someone was.. Doing what they were doing.

As the prince increased his speed, Skye matched it. They moved together in nearly perfect rhythm. Tidas wanted to slow or switch positions, but that would only prolong their coupling. He knew that Skye not only wanted to see the trials; she wanted to study them. To fully understand why everyone cautioned her against participating this year, and to gain magical insight.

Skye honestly thought she would bite a hole through her dress. Tidas caused waves of euphoria to crash down on her, threading her conscious state. She gripped the arm and back of the couch to steady them. Right as she began to climb a new peak, Tidas thrust as deeply as he could. He hammered her into the couch as she nearly chewed through the lining of her skirt.

In unison; the couple called out each other’s names as they shuddered with release. They panted hard as Tidas tried not to crush his tiny wife below him. After very slowly sitting up, he saw a stack of small, clean towels on the vanity. The room was used for interviews right after the trials, and a small stock was kept for the competitors. Grabbing two, Tidas offered one to his wife to clean herself up with.

Skye was grateful for it; coupling was messy, to put it nicely. If the towels wouldn’t have been there, watching the trials would’ve been very uncomfortable. She grinned and thanked her husband, but he kept hold of the towel a moment, until she looked at him.

“Was that fast enough?” Tidas joked as he released the towel to put his sensory suit back on.

Skye beamed at her husband; “Actually, I wish it could’ve lasted a bit longer..”

Tidas feigned insult as he quickly dressed; “Geez.. Just can’t seem to please you..”

“Ye please me plenty, but don’t ye Ever stop tryin,” Skye smoothed a few wrinkles from her dress as she’d spoken.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wrapping his arms around her, Tidas replied; “Oh, I don’t ever plan on it. I’ll find every spot on you that makes those tiny toes of yours curl..”

Stretching her arms around her husband’s neck; “Mmm.. I’ll hold you to that, love..”

After Skye and Tidas finished getting cleaned up and dressed, they headed back up to the balcony. As soon as they made it out of the competitors area, three of Tidas’ guards were waiting for them. Skye felt a little embarrassed, but didn’t really care at that point. She’d been through a hell of a day, and simply wished to eat and sleep now. But the trials were literally about to begin.

They could hear Magnus’ explanation of the trials as they made their way up the stairs, but Tidas was preoccupied. Although most of it had been cleaned up, the evidence of Skye’s fight was still visible. Near the top of the stairs, blood spatter was still all over the part of the wall that the assassin had been flung into during the explosion.

The fact that Skye was in the same area and yet came out unscathed, baffled him greatly. He thought of several ways that she could’ve avoided the blast, but all still showed her covered in dirt. As they reached the top of the stairs and the others came into view, the prince asked his wife what she’d done to avoid harm.

Skye pointed at Maevis; “Honestly I didn’t protect us; I froze. Twas Maevis that saved our arses, not me.”

Tidas Stared at the tiny Fae as she fluttered next to the king. She’d promised to train and protect Skye, and that was exactly what she’d been doing. Granted, their training hadn’t really begun yet, but the prince now trusted the old fairy to get the job done. He had no doubts about her skills or magic, just her level of commitment to protect his wife. The friendship between the Fae and his wife was strong. Making the prince feel like he had one less worry for it. He made a mental note to thank her later as his father completed his explanation, and sounded off the start to the Mage Trials.

The six teams each had eight teammates; bringing the total amount of competitors to forty-eight. On average, only twenty-four to thirty competed yearly. The massive jump in competitors was directly related to the amount of magic users there were in the kingdom. In the past twenty years, more and more people were being born with magic. There’d never been so many at once in their known existence, which made Maevis even more nervous.

The legend stated that the world would overflow with magic. Nicolas and Maevis always thought that it referred to natural magic, not mages, but the truth was that it had meant both. Nicolas had been studying natural magical hotspots to help Tatiana. He noticed that magic was beginning to slowly increase in nature, but it was being spread out instead of building up in the hotspots. Thinking on it now, Maevis realized that he hadn’t thought to consider the increase in magical humans and creatures in his calculations.

‘I can’t wait to point that flaw out!’ Maevis thought inwardly as she smiled and waved at the people close enough to see her. She’d dimmed her glow a bit so the people could make out her face, if close enough to. The spectators gathered on the landing closest to the balcony. They yelled to her to come closer, and asked random questions, but Maevis was preoccupied.

The competitors were filing out and taking their positions. The six teams had a hard time fitting on the starting line together. Teammates elbowed each other in an attempt to get a better head start. Magnus had implemented some of the rules for next year, but not the one that the mattered most; reaching the finish line. The Three Pillars weren’t involved in this year’s trial, so at least one member from each team had to complete the course for all of them to have a chance to pass. After that, it depended upon their personal points.

Skye examined the competitors and their conditions, and thanked goodness she decided to wait. Her size coupled with her limited use of her powers would’ve made her easy pickings for the giants that were competing. Nearly half of the people competing were Tanks, and looked as though they favored power. With two of her traits being so new, one being a support type; Skye most likely would’ve been one of the first competitors taken out.

Shasta and Zas walked up behind the royal newlyweds as the starting horns blew. As a frenzy broke out between the teams, Shasta began to laugh with an amused tone. Zas and Tidas both had smiles as well as they traded glances. Confused, the princess asked what the nudging and nodding was about. The two exchanged another look before Zas said; “The skirmish below just looks familiar, that’s all.”

Skye flashed a nervous smile as she asked; “What? Like Hell? There’s already about a dozen bloody on the ground!”

Tidas flashed a devilish smile; “Aye, that’s how it looked after my trials. But more..”

“More what?”

Tidas wrapped his arm around his wife and replied; “More on the ground. My team and I were the only ones left standing, once we cleared the halfway mark. We took out the teams on our side before we’d even started the actual course. Then we took out the others once the paths merge, just passed the halfway point. Looks like they’re trying to do the same.”
