Sovereign Fate Chapter 8 Teaser

I simply couldn't wait till morning to share their wedding and meeting or this peek into thier Wedding Night! Chapter 8 should post Thursday (unless I get antsy again and decide to live on Australian time and post Wednesday night as I did last week) LOL

When Princess Isabella finally had her emotions completely subdued, she stepped to the doorway, nodding to Angela who opened the door and led her through the hall to the room full of stodgy old men. They crossed regally and with purpose to the bedside. The men turned their backs as Angela helped a trembling Isabella remove the robe and slide underneath he covers. The nervous Princess pulled the covers to her chin as she leaned against the headboard, her face coloring slightly with her discomfort.

She glanced around the room at the familiar faces anxiously, even more mortified that these men who had know her for years were going to be privy to her first intimate exchange. It disgusted her to think on it, so instead she focused on the design of the quilt adorning the large oak bed, hoping her husband would hurry.

Moments later, Edward strolled into the room, wearing nothing more than his trousers and a smile. Bella felt her body react strangely to the site of her beautiful Tony’s strong muscles and slender waist that led to a muscular V shape just above the edge of his slightly open trousers. A thicket of fine bronze hair peeked above the waistline before thinning into a line that stretched up to just below his abdominal button.

Bella felt the muscles in her lower abdomen twitch and tingle, a slickness pooling at the apex of her legs. She swallowed thickly as her mouth began to pool with the desire to taste his skin. Her eyes slowly made it back up to his, to find him staring down at her with dark eyes that made her abdomen tighten even more.

Edward smiled down at her, his eyes twinkling at the look on her face. He knew that this night would be full of many new experiences for his bride and he had every intention of taking his time to make sure that she got as much pleasure as she possibly could from the event.
A steward pulled back the bed sheets for Edward to slide in next to Bella. He reached over, taking one of her hands balled tightly around the top of the sheet and brought it to his lips to kiss. His eyes never left Bella’s as he spoke.

“Gentlemen, I am informing you now that I intend to take my time worshipping my bride this evening. It will be quite some time before we reach the point you need to observe. I highly suggest you find alternative ways to occupy your time. I will pull the service bell to inform you when we are ready to engage in our official union.”

He glanced at the men who all blanched slightly, shuffling their feet as they stared at the floor. One by one they nodded and disappeared through the doorway until all that was left was Angela and Edward’s principal steward, Ben. The two subjects smiled at their friends for whom they served, carefully freeing the curtains tied up along the four bedposts to conceal the newlyweds behind a wall of white silk. They quickly left the room, leaving the newlyweds completely alone for the first time, no other eyes watching them, no other ears listening in, just Isabella and Edward, his Bella and her Tony.
