I'm Your Red Queen (Mare + Maven fanfic)

Chapter 2

But then why does it feel so real? He stood up and walked towards me. I gulped, nervous for his actions. You can never be too prepared when it came to Maven Calore.

"Please Mare, please forgive me." Maven whispered, wrapping his arms around my seated waist while laying his head on my lap. Tears, I could feel tears soak through my dress. I gently patted his head from his crown to his neck. I heard his heartbeat slow down and his breathing evened out. I exhaled at his relief.

I didn't want to aggravate him but this was too overwhelming, I needed space. It was too suffocating and uncomfortable. "Maven, honey. Can we um, can we go to ou--our room? You--you should rest." I stuttered, my own heartbeat accelerating at our proximity.

He lifted his head and took out a silk handkerchief from his coat, he swiftly dabbed his now--red eyes and nodded. He stood up and gave me his hand. Politely accepting, I grabbed his hand and made my way up to my-sorry our chambers.

I knew that if I was going to play the player, I was going to have to fall deep-- deep in his obsession. What else could I do? It was pitiful and shameful to stoop to his level, but I have to remember my goal. Break his heart and shatter his soul. It was the time for justice. And I'm going to get it.

As I was walking up the staircase to the upper level, I felt Maven's breath on my neck. How could he walk so close without bumping into me? I knew that the hairs on my neck have stood up and I was visibly shivering, and I knew that Maven saw how he affected me. If I turned around, he would surely be wearing his kingly smirk that he flaunts everyday.

The Arvens on the other hand had adjusted the silence on me so that I could breathe and feel the slight hum of electricity around me yet still lay helpless when it came to wielding it. I feel bad for the guards, they're going to be chasing after me 24/7.

As I entered the room, I went into my walk-in closet and looked for my pajamas. Yet what caught my eye was this silk nightie which had the right amount of coverage yet still managed to show off. Smirking to myself, I changed into the lacey nightie. Game on Maven.

I tried to act nonchalant while walking out of the closet in a flirty way. At least I think it was flirty, I mean I could've looked like a waddling goose but judging from the lustful glare and anxiety waves coming from Maven, he was turned on. Walking to the side of the bed and avoiding eye contact, I tried to slip into the covers. Yet an angry Maven and a hand gripping my waist did not make it easy. He swiftly grabbed my waist as my back was going to lay down on the bed and rolled us to the center of the bed, him being on top. He then took my wrists and held then above my head while lowering himself so that his area was rubbing against mine. Needless to say, this plan backfired. It was me who was out of breath.

Panting lightly as he continued to grind himself on me, I couldn't help but to look into his clear blue eyes which seemed to grow darker as the minutes flew by. "God Mare, do you know what you're doing to me?" Maven asked, dipping his head down so that his lips left a ghost kiss on my ear. "W-what? I-I'm not doing a-anything." I stuttered, arching my back at his lips which were attacking my neck with fierce kisses.

He lifted himself up slightly when he heard my breath hitch. With a devious smirk as well. Ugh, way to ruin the mood. Wait, what? I mean I could care less, as if I would get worked up over him. "You are so perfect." He mumbled while looking into my eyes, desperately searching the deep abyss of brown to find any submission. But no, I guarded my eyes just in time so all he could see were a set of emotionless eyes, hiding the embarrassing emotions I experienced a few minutes ago. "Can't say the same." I replied with a small smile. He smiled back chuckling. "One day I will get you... fully. One day you'll become mine." He whispered and dismounted me, laying on my side.

Turning to my side to face Maven, I pushed my hair pack on the pillow and curled my body slightly to get comfortable. "You know Maven, in all of time together as 'betrothed', we never really got to know each other." I stated, staring at him. "Well, what do you wanna know? I would like to get to know you too." He replied, turning so that our eyes make contact. "Okay, then let's play twenty questions."
