MorningStar's Kitten

They entered the room and found Danae packing Keira’s new wardrobe into her new chest. She turned as they entered and smiled at them. Danae moved to the bed and folded down the covers as Keira sat at the dressing table. Danae wet to her and started to undo the braid and brushed out Keira’s hair. She quickly redid the braid and when she finished she turned to leave the room

“Night, Lady Keira.” She said softly “Night, M’lord.”
“Goodnight, Danae.” Cade said

When Keira didn’t respond Danae turned to look at her. Keira still sat at the dressing table, her head down and her body trembling. Cade walked over and as he put his hand on her shoulder she jumped up and threw herself into his arms, sobbing. He held her tight and looked over at Danae, puzzled.

“What’s wrong, Kia?” he asked.
“You’ll think I’m being silly.” Keira sobbed.
“No, I won’t, my pet. Please, tell me.”
“I don’t want to leave, Danae.”
“You don’t have to.”
“But we leave tomorrow.”
“Yes, and Danae is coming with us.”
“What?” Keira exclaimed, looking at Danae, who just nodded.
“Aunt Colleen is giving you Danae as a wedding present.”
“Really?”
“Would I lie to you?”

Keira gave Cade a tight hug and then to Danae and hugged her as well. Dana told Keira that Colleen had told her earlier and her things were already packed. Cade told the girls he’d had Kelly buy a small wagon that the girls would ride in along with the supplies and Keira’s things. Keira hugged Danae again and the girl left the room. Cade started to undress and Keira kicked off the silver shoes Danae had lent her.

“Oh, hell.” Keira said, looking down at the shoes.
“What?” Cade asked.
“Shoes,” Keira said, looking at them “Danae realized earlier that we’d forgotten shoes.”
“Oh. Well, we can take care of that in the morning before we leave then.”
“I never realized how complicated things were outside the village.”
“They are a bit. Mostly it’s just so many things for you to get used to. It’ll get easier.”
“Goddess, I hope so.” Keira muttered.

Cade laughed and quickly finished undressing. He turned to find Keira dressed onl in a camisole and panties. She smiled up at him and slowly walked over to him. Cade leaned down and kissed her gently and took her in his arms. He lifted the edge of the camisole, pulled it over her head and tossed it aside. He lifted Keira and lay her on the bed. Cade kissed her then each of her breasts, and then her stomach. Keira raised her arms over her head and closed her eyes as Cade slipped off her panties and dropped them to the floor. A moment later Cade had covered her body with his and kissed her deeply. He slid his hands down her body, over her hips and sliding his hands under her knees and lifted her legs. Cade slowly slid his thick, hard cock inside her tight, wet heat then back out. Keira moaned softly and Cade slammed into her deep and hard. He took up a frantic pace as Keira wrapped her legs around him and ran her nails down Cade’s arms. Their lovemaking was frenzied and Keira quickly climaxed. Moments later Cade had her once again at the verge and they tumbled over together.
Cade rolled over still holding her close and Keira nestled against him. Cade gently rubbed her back and she was soon fast asleep. Cade however, found sleep slow in coming as he reviewed in his head the plans for the following day. The journey home would take about five hours, so the unexpected shopping for shoes wouldn’t be an issue. His only real concern was whether Regan would be willing to put off the summons to the Castle he’d sent. Cade didn’t think Keira was ready to meet the King and Queen so soon and hadn’t told her of the messenger that had come while she bathed. Regan hadn’t yet sent back a response to the reply Cade had sent and none would mean a trip to the palace before they left.
Cade looked down at Keira and sighed. He was going to have to make assigning her permanent guards a priority. He also realized he’d have to speak to Kelly about returning for the Autumn Festival. He was sure Regan would agree to host a ball to formally introduce Keira as Lady MorningStar. He groaned softly when he realized that would mean most of the main household traveling back to Dareth in two months time. He fell into a fitful sleep with that and more on his mind.

“M’lord!” Danae said in an urgent voice.

Cade awoke with a start and sat up, he looked over to the other side of the bed, which was already empty. He turned towards Danae who was holding out his breeches to him. He looked up at her curiously as he swung his legs over the side of the bed, took the breeches and started to put them on. Danae went over to help Keira with her hair, which she quickly pinned into a neat bun. Keira was dressed in the green and gold gown, stood and turned towards him for his approval.

“What in hell is going on?” Cade demanded
“The King is here!” Keira said excitedly
“He’s what!?”
“His Majesty arrived a short time ago and asked for you and Lady Keira.” Danae explained. “Your Aunt has him out in the garden and the cooks preparing a breakfast.”
“You’re kidding me.. “
“I would never joke about the King, M’lord”
“Cade, do I look alright?” Keira asked looking into the mirror worriedly.
“Yes, my beautiful pet.” He said glancing at her.
“Danae said this gown looks the best.”
“You’re lovely, Kia. Let me finish dressing.”

Keira sat at the dressing table and watched Cade pull on his boots, and vest. He strapped on his sword, pulled his cloak over his shoulders and fastened it. Keira stood and moved over to him, smiling up at him. He put his arm around her and led her down stairs and out to the garden with Danae following.
