Claiming territory (49)

     Miss Hope, Annianka and myself waited in the dining room with Sert and Cole standing guard at the doors into the foyer. A half dozen of each of the four Royal Guard divisions were in place lining the walls of my study. All that was left for this to start and be done with was Princess Trixie of the pixies.

      "I am still worried regarding what you have planned.” I muttered. Annianka still wore the mischievous grin. “Have the Royal Guards present been warned of her plan?” I asked miss Hope.

     “Everything will be explained after that pixie departs from here.” she purred back.

     “Just play along and everything will end wonderfully.” Annianka remarked again. “All will understand and turn the pixie's rumours against them.” she added. I could feel the mirth-filled sparks playing along her skin as she held my arm tightly against her.

     “Why do I sense a Valhalla moment from your sister Joy?” I whispered mentally to her.

     “We do share a familial streak.” she returned calmly. A soft knock at the doors announced that Trixie was in place. Annianka giggled in glee as she straightened on my arm. She nodded once to miss Hope signalling the start of this play. The door opened slowly. We followed miss Hope across the foyer in a slow regal pace to the door of my study. Sert and Cole drifted with us in silence to take position of matching bracketing statues at the entrance of the study.

     “Guards to Princess Trixie!” miss Hope growled. They came to attention in ranks beside us. “In the name of your Captains, I order you to patrol the perimeter of the estate.” she told them directly. A group salute was their only answer. “You will be informed when she is ready to depart.” she ordered. “Explanations of her condition will follow at a later time.” she added in a purring chuckle. The Guards rushed out the door with nothing but the sound of their booted feet against the marble floor.

     “You know what is about to transpire?” I exclaimed in feigned shock.

     “Yes!' she interjected. Both woman wore matching mischievous smirks. “You may see it as Her Holiness marking Her territory.” she continued with a deep purring chuckle. Annianka giggled as she snuggled tighter to me. “Now.” miss Hope added. Cole held the door open for us while Sert held a Royal Guard salute to us. As miss Hope entered, the two dozen Guards came to attention drawing Trixie's attention to the the door. The pixie lounged on a low back divan placed facing my desk and new oversized chair.

     “You're definitely not the Envoy.” Trixie commented petulantly. She half rose on her dragonfly wings. “Where is this mystery Envoy that speaks for beings supposedly above the gods?” she remarked arrogantly.

     “Presenting Lord Kestrel, Envoy of the Ones On High and Right claw of Her Holiness!” miss Hope proclaimed at the pixie. Trixie was winging her way at me as miss Hope stepped aside to reveal me entering sideways through the door. The pixie Princess' wings froze dropping her to her knees before me. I saw a perverted series of thoughts form in Trixie's mind making her lick her emerald lips with a pointy bluish tongue. I turned to face her directly as she inched closer. “And Her Holiness Annianka, Living Heart of Atlantis!” miss Hope added purring. Annianka's knee rose to cover Trixie's chosen target forcing the pixie to look up. Trixie's eyes widened as they meet Annianka's gaze.

     “Best I take my chair so you are not forced into such an unseemly position for our discussions.” I stated casually. This earned me a warm giggle at my neck from Annianka. I walked around giving the pixie a wide berth even in the small space left with the Guards standing in the room. I thought a second chair would be moved for me to sit upon while Annianka used the throne like new seat. She hooked her leg behind mine tripping me into the large chair while moving to sit across my lap with her legs over the arm rest. She snuggled her head against my chest with an arm placed around my neck and the other across my body as she ran her fingertips on my other arm. I smiled at Trixie as I used my free arm to pull Annianka closer to me. My hand rested on her hip where I ran a finger in slow patterns against her skin. “And why did you wish to meet with me?” I asked casually. I ignored that Annianka's see through wrap dress barely covered her privates as she sat on me but it was an ordeal. Miss Hope moved to join us before Trixie even moved from her knelt position. “If you have nothing to say while remaining on your knees, please leave before I decide to order this noble Guards to remove you.” I stated bluntly. The Guards moved forward a step with weapon suddenly in hand. “Princess?” I added softly.

     “Right Sir!” she yelped. I barely saw her wings flickering as she flipped back to the divan before me. “I wished to meet you since you are a new noble upon Atlantis.” she explained. “Discovering what type of things you could offer me and the pixies.” she added. She still leered at me while she spoke making Annianka rub against me harder. I could see in the pixies mind that a new flavour idea formed which included Annianka in her menu.

     “Your thoughts are not on the type of things I would be willing to offer in the name of Atlantis.” I retorted at her. My hand gripped tighter at Annianka's exposed hip.

     “She could not compare to your skill.” Annianka half whispered in my ear. At her words, Trixie was even more focused on me with lust-filled thoughts spiralling nearly out of control.

     “All others have been disappointments.” I returned. “Too weak to play long.” I muttered. I left a solar flame form in my left hand which Annianka plucked with her own fire. “So weak in comparison to you my sweetness.” I added nearly purring the words.

     “I know.” she replied in the purring sounding voice. “Just hand her the list of available goods and possible trade items so we can speed this up my little bird of prey.” she stated dismissively. “Would rather have more time alone with you.” she added. She began kissing at my cheek and neck leaving little lip shape flames as markers. The sudden silence in the room made the gulping sound from Trixie sound like rolling thunder. The half sneer I wore as I slide the page across my desk to her caused her to rage under the friendly mask she now wore.

     “Please read through it once and let me know if anything catches your eye.” I remarked offhandedly. She took the page in her hand slowly eyeing the list as a little smile formed on her emerald lips.

     “This kohl for eyes is what?” the pixie returned. With her curiosity piqued, all lustful thoughts had vanished from her mind.

     “Grey to black powder used to decorate eyes.” I replied. “Many of the items listed are decorative items for the face and body.” I continued calmly. “They come from humans that wish trading with Atlantis for any quality goods.” I added.

     “Quality dyed gold, pigments, and tricks to move the heavies stone with ease for one tenth of its weigh in these flesh decorating products?” she countered quickly.

     “I will have word sent to them requesting a prompt reply.” I answered. “Can you open the window miss Hope?” I requested. She did not reply as she reached behind herself to unlatch the window at our back. The frame yanked outward from a deft peck of my Little Thunder. He hopped from the windowsill to my chair and once again to land on my desk at my left hand. He stood straight as an arrow waiting to receive the message I slowly began writing. “I will send word to you of their decision but I warn you that Atlantians must act as transferal agents.” I explained slowly. I rolled the note and attached it to the leg of my kestrel. It darted out the window winging away in complete silence. “These human wish to keep its dealings secret from others and Atlantis is their chosen method for this.” I added.

     “I see no problems with this.” Trixie returned easily. “I await word of when Atlantis will need our half of the trade items for delivery.” she continued in a rush. “I'll return to my lodgings in Atlantis immediately to send word to my people of this great boon offered to us.” she stated smiling. I saw her mind bubbling with ideas on using these product to make them more irresistible to others which was their way of winning allies.

     “Send word to have Princess Trixie's Guard ready to escort her home.” I ordered. One of the Ferret Guards by the door poked her head outside the room to warn Sert and Cole. “It is unfortunate that you rush away without tea or delicate snacks I had prepared.” I stated with a false sigh.

     “This is too import for me to observe proper etiquette.” Trixie returned. “The sooner I send word, the more my pixies can have ready to transfer.” she told me. “Pixies may be small in stature but we're fast at accepting something good.” she continued smiling broader still. “Good parting Lord Kestrel and may all your trades be this profitable.” she added. She darted from the room proving that pixies gained speed from their distinctive wings. We waited until Sert entered to inform us she had left.

     “And it is done.” Annianka giggled. Miss Hope help her back to her feet next to me. “Now was that as insufferable as you thought it would be my kestrel?” she asked. I sat laughing holding my sides as I read the thoughts that spiralled around the room. “It was decide that it would be best to show Lord Kestrel as beyond Princess Trixie's reach.” she explained to the Guards. “I could not trust any other to perform this play at Lord Kestrel's hand.” she continued. She blushed as they all looked at her realizing what Her Holiness feels for me. “And I doubt Lord Kestrel would trust touching any other woman.” she added. She looked at me as I sat still chuckling as I smiled up at her. I pulled her hand to my lips for a fleeting kiss at her palm.

     “None could have performed this role as perfectly as you Holy Annianka.” I replied softly. “Nor would I have wanted another attempting it.” I added. Her blush deepened as she held her hands at her back shyly swaying. Meli entered at this moment burdened with a large tray that held two tea pots, cups, and a well stacked layer of the quartered treat remaining from earlier that morning.

     “And the Guards will be very polite and accept this kindness.” miss Hope told the Guards. “We will not break with etiquette by rushing away.” she added. A cheer rose from the ring of Guards as each came forth to collect a cup of tea and a piece of fruit covered toast. They had all taken miss Hope's words as authorization to be at ease and gather in small knots within the study and the foyer.

     “We have done a good thing here.” I whispered. “Atlantis has stepped toward reconnecting with the world that surrounds it.” I continued in the same hushed tones. “One step closer to becoming the shining jewel to gleam in the darkness.” I added.

     “Is that not what Atlantis' honour orders it to stand for?” Annianka remarked.

     “More so than you could ever imagine.” I answered quietly. I received a giggle as answer before she take my hand to draw me to my feet so we could join with the others. The rest of the morning was spent slowly sipping tea, nibbling on fruity morsels, and talking with Annianka at my side. I still believe it was the greatest day I spent while upon Atlantis but that night proved Trixie's promise as genuine.

     I wasted the afternoon on our training field with Sert, Meli, and eight of the Royal Guards present for the morning play. The Guards were surprised by how quickly Sert had progressed over the five years I had become his trainer. Meli only problem was her non-aggressive technique. She feared striking at me and seemed to hold back while facing the others she sparred against. My body felt spent by the time I saw our extra Guards off. I disregarded eating to hasten my path to bed. I ignored Meli's reprimands that I should eat by claiming my fatigue as overpowering. I went directly to my room and stretched out mostly naked on my bed before noticing I had a guest.

     “That was a bit of a dirty trick you pulled on me.” Trixie whispered. I snapped a layer of silence around the room by emptying an inch of space from the walls, window, door, floor, and ceiling essentially sealing the room.

     “It seemed acceptable at the time.” I returned calmly. She fluttered over to sit upon the edge of my bed. “But I doubt you are that angered by my innocent game when first we met.” I told her. I sat up to look at her in the pale moonlight that glowed in the room.

     “Not anger.” she said. “But feeling cheated by your bonds to Her Holiness.” she continued. I could sense the annoyance that course through her body. “Hard to believe a Holy personage is so naughty in front of dignitaries.” she added with a sly glance at me. I could have formed clothing on my body but ignored it allowing her to see what she wanted most.

     “Annianka could surprise you with her tastes.” I mused. “It is like dealing with four different women.” I explained. “Each with their own unique method of gaining and giving exquisite pleasure and pain.”

     “Making my offer to you for helping me meet Lord Kestrel invalid.” she retorted. “You made that very clear to me.” she added. She turned more fully to look me over. I could feel her eyes like fingertips running slowly over my bare chest.

     “I stated the fact that I would not willing share Annianka with you.” I corrected. “We did have a pact, did we not?” I whispered. Her face snapped up to look into my smirking face. “Or are pixie oaths not binding?” I continued. She stared at me slowly running her pointy tongue along her upper lips. I tilted my head to one side. “I did find your thoughts while on your knees as something I have not experienced.” I suggested. Her eyes went down my body as she licked her emerald lips nearly moaning at the thoughts forming in her mind.

     “And doesn't Her Holiness wish to keep you for herself?” she asked haltingly. I had already shielded my mind to not receive the same berating comments from Annianka that Meli had spoken to me. In silence, I reached out to gently take her wrist to move her hand to the target of her thoughts. “Not answering?” she purred. She slowly began kneading with the hand I gently held in place. Her other hand reached up to untie the string that sat between her over-sized breast. With a shrug of her shoulders, the top of her scantly covering dress glided away to reveal her flesh. “I have heard that She sees all that happens on Atlantis.” she added. I felt her weak attempt at removing her hand from my grip before accepting what I offered firmly in hand.

     “She only look upon me when I allow it.” I whispered softly to her. Her wings flickered moving her body to disrobe fully. I released her wrist to remove the light cloth loincloth that was my only covering. Her hand returned without prompting to the spot she wanted to touch. I ran a lone finger along her cheek, neck, shoulder, and down her arm which she mirrored on my body. I had kept my head tilted exposing my neck to her which she moved in to lick gently then kiss hungrily with her burning lips. I let the chill of space run down my tongue as I returned the licking kisses at her neck. She hissed as she bit harder at my neck. It was easy with her airborne to flip her to float upside down in front of me as I sat on my bed.

     Her hand that had remain attached to her lower target tightened with every icy nibble of my mouth. It was a pulsing heart beat which my body responded to easily. She crawled down my body leaving little flaming green lip and tongue marks while forcing my head with the other hand to her ample bosom. Our tongues flickered and we kisses in unison against the others chest. Finding each others nipple with tongue and mouth, we licked rougher, kissed slower, and bit harder as I felt her passion flaring in the room. Now I felt magic from her to stifle noise that was escaping her mouth. Icy white marks from my mouth formed on her body as I forced the spell to fail her. Her moaning whines filled the space around us as more flaming green marks from her mouth appeared as she drifted farther down my body.

     As her tongue flicked fire at the tip of my manhood, I had one hand tangled in her bluish-green hair while the other snaked up the side of her body to firmly grasp at her buttock. She yelped as my ice tongue flickered along the joint-lines toward her inner thigh. Her legs separated with another icy flicker as she released a whining moan as my manhood entered. With a few teasing flicks her legs opened wider as I pushed her lower. She now began suckling while still moaning in the back of her throat. It felt the heat increasing to that of a bonfire in her mouth. I licked slower with an ending flick of my frosty tongue at her sensitive spot drawing deeper whining moans from her. The cold from my mouth enticed her fiery mouth to work harder as both tried to push the other over the edge of pleasure. She yelp and bit gently down on me as my finger touched with frost slid inside her while my tongue flickered faster leaving alternating ice and lightning on her.

     She forcibly yanked her pelvis from my face and gasps as she released my manhood. With a spin she was facing me letting me see the emerald flames playing on her lips and in her mouth. Holding my manhood in position she teasingly rotated to brush the tip against her wetness. My hands moved quickly to grapple on her hips guiding her lower. She gritted her sharp teeth as I entered her. I felt her stretching to fit my size size into her smaller body. The bonfire of her mouth could not compare to the volcano release as I filled her. Her wings snapped shut dropping her fully on me as I pulsed rings of arctic blasts through my manhood to meet her blazing eruption. Her lips locked on mine letting her flame tongue battle with my ice tongue. I toppled to my back and used my hands at her neck and hip to force her rhythmic pounding against me. Her muffle scream of pleasure filled my mouth as her heat rose exponentially as my cold dropped to match her. She collapsed on top of me with my manhood's fiery ejection from her body. Trixie clutched at me breathing hard as sweat dropped from her to be lost in the sweat that coated my body.

     “Let me know when you feel capable of continuing.” I remarked with a chuckle. Her head snapped up to look at me wide eyed. The flood of swears and praises ran through her mind as she stared in disbelief at me. “Or have I broken you?” I whispered. I smiled hungrily as frost formed mist wreathing up from my mouth. She smiled back licking more flames on her emerald lips. I tumbled her to her back as I reentered her still fully hard. She gasped as our fire and ice battled once more inside her with each driving thrust. I let my power shift my shape growing both in thickness and length inside her. She grappled her mouth onto mine to stifle the screeching moan that escaped her. Her internal space stretched without fail to encompass my increasing size. The night was spend as we used each other body in a meshing of fire and ice eruptions until slightly before dawn. We both learned and thought each other many new tricks and positions before laying spent with the bed soaked in our combined mess of mixed bodily fluid we had expended.

     “Sun will rise soon which means I should disappear.” she whispered. She snuggled against me purring. “But whenever you are in the mood, call me or any other pixie that catches your eye.” she purred into my ear. “All the women in my race would not know living without a night with you handsome.” she continued. We kissed one last time before she sparkled and disappeared from the room.

     “And don't forget to visit again you tricky pixie.” I stated into the empty room and into her mind as she reappeared in her empty room. I gave it a moment before dispelling the layer of silence I coated the room in. I closed my eyes and centred myself while spelling away the smell of sex that perfumed my room. This had been a very profitable day that ended in a pleasant night of release. We would have to wait and see what other troubles I could turn into successes for the betterment of Atlantis.
