Chapter Text
It has been half a year now. Half a year since Lucette lifted her curse, half a year since she saved Rod by confessing her undying love to him. Half a year since their secret relationship started… In the beginning it had been enough. A small touch that lingered just a fraction too long, a smile that was maybe a bit too wide, a wink that was uncalled for or a hug in the dark save from the court’s eye.
The secret meetings in the woods had had filled some of her hunger for Rod.
Lucette could touch him all she wanted in those precious moments. Could run her fingers through his strawberry blonde hair, could kiss his sweet lips. She could wrap her arms around his strong body as much as she wanted.
But her hunger for her beloved had turned into an addiction. An addiction those few hours every few weeks couldn’t stave it off anymore.
Duties had called them both away from each other, but as members of the royal family they had duties they couldn’t ignore.
As the future queen it was of utmost importance that she attended every big social event, there were lectures she had to participate in, meetings with her father… The day didn’t have enough hours for all the duties Lucette had regained with breaking her curse.
But all of this hindered the budding romance between the crown princess and the prince. They hadn’t been able to meet up in weeks! Something that teared at Lucette’s nerves.
This was why Lucette found herself in front of Rod’s bedroom in the middle of the night. Her hand hovered over the door, too afraid to knock but she also didn’t want to leave… The guard had just turned the corner Luxette had at least 10 minutes before his rotation brought him here again.
She swallowed.
Come on Lucette… you are the bearer of the Tenebrarum and the crown princess. A little knock should not scare you!
The sound the knock made seemed to vibrate through the empty corridor. Her heart stopped. What if somebody heard her? Her mind was racing going through all the all the possibilities, that she didn’t even notice when the door opened and a hand grabbed her to pull Lucette inside of the room.
She screamed but a hand over her mouth stifled the sound.
“You seem to want to get into trouble…”
“Come on the princess came all the way just to see you Rod!”
Rod sighed. He seemed annoyed after all he didn’t want to worry about his girlfriend doing something stupid every time he turned his back. But even he could not deny that he had missed her… That seeing her face made a horrible day just a bit brighter.
“You can’t deny that you are happy to see me Rod. Your eyes always give you away.”
Lucette smirked. No matter how stoic his face was his eyes were like a window into Rod’s beautiful soul.
“Still you should not be here. what if somebody saw you...”
Rod wasn’t even able to finish his before Lucette crashed her lips against his. Their lips tangled in a dance that they knew by heart. Every step was calculated. Every motion had been practiced a thousand time over. A moan escaped Lucette lips and Rod took the chance to plunge his tongue into her mouth.
The kiss that had been almost coy in the beginning turned passionate in a blink of an eye. Tongues were locked, hands held on to the other person, hair was pulled and skin was caressed.
Their breaths mingled when they finally pulled away from each other.
“I missed you Rod. Another day without you and I would have gone mad. I don’t want to go.”
Lucette silently pleaded with him. It wasn’t often that she asked something of him. Lucette demanded and took but rarely asked and pleaded. How could Rod deny her that. He knew that Sebby was delighted with the turn of events. The magical plushie had to endure Rod’s bad mood.
“Fine… You can stay for one night!”
Before he even uttered the word Lucette had already taken up half of the space in his bed.
She pointed to the empty space next to her.
“Well what are you waiting for?”
