Aria's POV

Being Queen is hard work, I didn't realize my mother did this much. It's been a week since the coronation and let's just say I've been busy.

I've had multiple meetings, I've visited all of the different schools of the village, helped design some of the new pack house, and make sure everything is running smoothing throughout the whole Kingdom. I've become much closer to a few of the people I work with, such as Daniel's mate, Claire, and a few of the top warriors.

I've barely seen Damon, we both work all day and then are exhausted by the time we see each other. It's been hard not being able to talk to him and connect with him. Our wolves have felt the disconnection and have been yearning to see each other more than a few minutes a night.

I'm currently walking through the village, towards the worksite of the new pack house. Damon has been working with the rest of the warriors, he says 'it helps me bond with them and be the King, I want to be.' Once I arrive at the worksite, I see my sweaty mate holding up a wall frame. His shirt is off and his muscles are bulging as he holds up the heavy wall. The pack house was almost done with the framing and in a month or two, it'll be finished. He must have sensed me as he look directly over to me and makes eye contact. He gives me a wink and mouths 'one minute'. They nail in the wall Damon was holding, he makes sure it's in place before he jogs over to me.

"Hey baby, what're you doing here?" Damon asks, after giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"I finally have a day-off and wanted to see you." I say, smiling up at him. I really want him to take the day-off with me but I doubt he's able to. He takes his royal-duties very seriously which makes me so proud.

"Really? Well if you have nothing to do, I'll pack up my stuff here and spend the day with you." He says.

"Are you sure you're able to?" I ask, unsure if he's truly free all day or just saying it because I was here.

"Of course, unless you don't want to spend time with me." He says, grabbing some of his stuff from the worksite.

"NO, no no no, I want to spend time with you." I panic.

"I was just joking, A." He laughs, then he leans down and captures my lips with his. A round of cheers and catcalls come from the men on the worksite. Damon pulls away, still laughing. He turns around and gives the men on the worksite a glare, signaling them to quite down.

"Hey Blake, I'm leaving, you're in charge." Damon says, still smiling.

"Yes, Your Majesty." A warrior says from the worksite.

"Let's go!" Damon says, he grabs my hand and starts running towards the castle. As we run though the village, we get a few strange looks from some people. I mean the sweaty, shirt-less King pulling along the Queen with heels and a dress on isn't normal. We finally make it to the castle, I'm out of breath and heaving as Damon just stands there like we didn't just run 5 miles.

"Your Majesty's, are you alright?" A maid walking by asks.

"Yes, she's perfectly fine." Damon answers for me. The maid keeps on walking past us. "Maybe you need to work on your stamina, A."

"Shut up, Damon." I grunt, taking off my heels and storm up to the suite.

"Come on, baby, I was just joking!" Damon pleads, running catch up with me. I decide to give him the silent treatment even though I'm not terribly mad.

"Oh Goddess, please not the silent treatment, please baby I'm sorry!" Damon says, stepping in front of me, stopping me from walking. I stare blankly at him until he moves and lets me enter the suite. I walk up to the loft and place my heels in the closet. As I walk out of the closet, I'm tackled onto the bed by a sweaty body.

"Please, Aria! Just say something, I'm sorry." Damon's pleads, pinning me onto the bed. I stare up at him, his eyes show how sorry he truly is and how much this is hurting him. I can't take the sad look in his eyes any more.

"It's fine baby, I wasn't even that mad!" I smile, pecking his lips. He then wraps his arms around me and squeezes me tight. His head is resting on my chest as I play with his hair. We just lay there, enjoying each other's presence. Our wolf were loving this, just being in physical contact with Damon made my wolf purr. I place a kiss on top of his head which makes him push up so he's hovering over me.

"Do you want to watch a movie down stairs?" He asks, he knows I barely watch movies but he's confessed he loves them.

"Yeah, you pick it." I smile, I'll do anything for him. He smiles and grabs me, lifting me over his shoulder. This cause me to start laughing as he runs down the stairs and head towards the couch. He lays me down and then grabs the remotes. He lays down next to me and turns on the TV. Since we've moved in, I've had some maids re-decorate the suite. Instead of green and pink theme, it's now burgundy and gold. I've also gotten some new furniture and such. Damon turns on a movie, I'm not sure which one. He wraps his arm around me and I snuggle closer into his chest.

~~~~~~~

As the credits roll on the screen and the movie ends, the day turned into a movie day, with popcorn and tons of movie. But as the day turns into night, I feel Damon start kissing my neck. He keeps getting close to my mark but then kissing the other way. He's teasing me and I'm getting frustrated.

I soon swing my leg over his hips, so I'm straddling him and place a kiss on his lips. He deepens the kiss as I wrap my arms around his neck. His fingers run through my hair as our lips move together. He soon licks my lips, asking for entrance, which I gladly grant him. His tongue darts into my mouth, explore every spot it can. I soon pull away to catch my breath and start kissing down his neck. I've never been this bold or lustful with Damon, but I sure as hell am enjoying it.

"Aria...Baby." Damon groans as I found the spot where his mark is supposed to be. Not many females are mark there males as it isn't necessary, but I want to so bad. My wolf must have felt it to, as my canines elongate. I brush my new sharp teeth against his marking spot, getting a deep moan out of him. That was enough for me to plunge my teeth into his skin, it was like instinct. The metal taste of blood hits my tongue as Damon let's out a load moan. It made my wolf purr at the pleasure we were giving our mate. I soon pull away, licking up his blood. My teeth go back to normal as his mark heals to match mine. It was a small wolf howling towards the moon.

I move back to give Damon a deep kiss, he had placed a shirt on half way through the first movie. I now wanted nothing more than that shirt off of his body. I quickly pull the shirt off, breaking our kiss. We stare at each other, breathless.

"How far we going, baby?" Damon says, placing his hand on my hips. Over the past week almost every night we've come to this point but haven't made it past this. I stare at his beautiful eyes, I realize that I'm ready to give myself to this handsome man.

"Let's go all the way." I say, looking at him with all the love I can give. As soon as the word come out of my mouth. His lips cover mine, pressing to point of bruising, but I didn't care. All I wanted was him, and only him. He picks me up, carrying me up to the bed. He lays me down on the bed, keeping our lips locked.

He slowly starts to unzip my dress, he pulls it off my shoulders and it pools at my feet. His eyes run over my body, taking it all in. His eyes shot back up to mine, dark with lust but slightly over-powered by love.

"Aria, I love you so goddamn much." He whispers, leaning closer to me.

"I love you more."

~~~~~~

My eyes slowly open, groggy as always. I smile as the memories of last night flood back into my mind. But that smile is long gone when I try to move and almost everything hurts. The cause of the pain is sleep peacefully next to me. Let's just say Damon isn't all soft and fuzzy in bed, not that I didn't enjoy that. I very slowly roll over, onto my back, and reach down to the floor to grab my button-up shirt from yesterday. It luckily was rather big on me so it reached mid-thigh.

I look over at my very naked mate, sleeping on his stomach, small snores coming from him. I can't help but smile at the beautiful man I get to call mine. I can see the mark that I left last night, a sense of pride surging through me. The thin sheet was bunched up from his hips down. I continue to stare and admire him until I hear him say:

"A, you know it's rude to stare, right?" He laughs, opening his eyes to look at me. I roll my eyes at his comment.

"Not if what I'm staring at is mine." I smirk, as he rolls over on his back. He smiles at me, placing a hand on my thigh.

"I'm sorry..." He says, rubbing my thigh.

"What do you mean?" I ask, confused. He gestures to my thighs, I look down to see some deep bruises. They don't hurt, I actually sorta like them.

"How sore are you?" He asks, placing a soft kiss on my bruise.

"I'm not that sore, Dam." I smile, trying to show him by swinging my legs over his hips but the pain on my face gave it away.

"I'm sorry baby, I can go get you some Tylenol." He says, ready to get up.

"No stay! I just want to lay with you." I say, stopping him from moving. I slowly lay down on his chest, trying to find the least painful position.

A loud 'beep' sounds through the suite, coming from multiple places. I sit up, confused on what it was.

"It's the intercom, one sec." Damon says, he reaches over and presses and button on the phone next to our bed. Soon Daniel's voice comes through the speaker.

"Hey Damon and Aria!" He says, his cheerful voice coming through.

"What do you want, Daniel?" Damon's Alpha side comes out mixed with his frustration of us being interrupted.

"Well Claire wanted to make you guys some breakfast, and I thought it was good idea since you've been working so hard.." Daniel says, you can tell he's nervous about how Damon's going to react.

"No, Daniel I don-"

"Thank you very much, Daniel, bring it on up." I say cutting Damon off. I press the button to let them up.

"Really baby? I just wanted it to be us.." Damon groans, sounding like a child.

"But they were being nice, now go put some pants on." I smile, getting off of him.

"You stay up here, they'll just freak out over our scents and everything." He says pulling on some joggers.

"Fine." I say, knowing he won't budge on it. I hear the front door open and before I fix Damon's hair or tell him to put on a shirt to cover up the multiple hickeys, Damon is headed down stairs. I throw on a pair of his boxers.

"Sweet Moon Goddess, it stinks like sex in here so bad." I hear Daniel groan from downstairs.

"Daniel, leave them alone." I hear Claire scold Daniel.

"Damon! She's got you whipped, look at that mark!" Daniel says, probably smirking at Damon.

"Daniel, shut up." I hear grumpy Damon say.

"Where is the lovely Luna?" Daniel calls, looking for me. I walk to the end of the loft looking over the kitchen. Seeing Daniel, Claire, and Damon with a bunch of food.

"Hello everyone!" I smile, seeing Damon get even grumpier. I slowly make my way downstairs, still very sore. Once I reach the three, I wrap my arms around Damon's torso from behind.

"Well, we're gonna leave before you two ruin my innocence." Daniel says, pulling Claire towards the exit.

"Oh shut up, Daniel, we all know you aren't innocent." Claire laughs, but leaves with him.

"Now I have to all to myself!" Damon growls, picking me up and heading back towards the bed.
