Chapter 16: EMOTIONAL SUPPORT?
Soon Thaggar found himself standing outside Akira's bedroom door. He lifted his hand, ready to knock but remembered she told him to figure out why she was upset. He grunted in frustration and entered the room, finding her sitting in a chair by the window. She was holding something in her lap with a needle and thread in her hands while her head was now turned to look at him.
Thaggar closed the door behind him an walked to the bed to sit, his face showing little lines of trouble. Akira didn't fail to notice this and put down the fabric and sewing tools she was holding. His usually clear green eyes seemed like troubled and empty, a contrast to the love and lust she usually saw in them whenever they were together.
"Did something happen?" She asked settling down in front of him as she sat on her folded legs in front of him.
"Sit here." Thaggar said with a sigh tapping the empty space beside him.
"I'm fine here. I want to look at you." Akira answered holding his hands in her much smaller ones to comfort him," What's wrong?"
I want you to tell Savvy the truth."
"But Thaggar you...."
"I know but....I can't do it. It is difficult to speak to her when she's is staring at me with countless accusations in her eyes."
"I shouldn't be the one to say it still." Akira countered with a frown.
"Akira please." Thaggar pleaded freeing his hands from being held to holding hers with a gentle squeeze.
Akira found herself lost in the depth of his eyes. She felt like she was being pulled into another world that was only hers. His vulnerability was almost palpable. Her gaze softened as she looked at him.
"She would've believe me, Thaggar." She finally said and he nodded like he already knew that,"Then why do even want me to try?"
"Once you speak to her then she will come to me or ask her mother about it. That way all I have to do is confirm the facts."
Akira nodded and looked to the window, lost in her thoughts. She was pulled out of her mind when Thaggar's moist lips met her cheek. He smiled against her cheek and then turned her head to face him. As she was still sitting on the floor, Thaggar had to hunch over, an act he knew would give him a terrible back ache but he didn't care.
Slowly, he brought his lips down to meet hers and she responded with as much vigour. She sighed into the kiss and lifted herself off her legs to alleviate Thaggar's strain but she remained kneeling.
"Come here." Thaggar mumbled unwilling to release Akira from the kiss.
She broke the kiss, relishing the look of longing in his eyes before standing up. Akira didn't waste time and started undressing. Thaggar did the same and soon they were both completely naked. Thaggar remained seated while Akira stood in between his legs, close enough to touch him and far enough to escape when he attempted to touch her.
"What are you doing?" Thaggar asked, frustrated when Akira dodged him for the third time and he saw her smile,"It isn't funny. I'm trying to be nice."
"Oh my beloved king...will you force me?" Akira asked moving closer to him once more.
This time she guided his hands to her breasts and a low hum of appreciation escaped Thaggar's lips. She sighed as he started to kneed them gently and gasped pleasurably when he started sucking on them.
Akira moved closer and sat astride on his lap, each leg on either side of him.
"Thaggar...." Akira whispered as he gently stroked her waist with his mouth on her breast.
Her hands were in his hair, pulling him even closer as if she wanted to absorb him. He gently lifted her bottom and entered her. She let out a loud moan, throwing her head back seeking to creat the same feeling again. Akira begun to move slowly and then much faster after getting comfortable.
It wasn't long before a noise come from outside the door and someone knocked on the door.
"Your majesty!" Came the frantic voice of a guard,"Your first wife is about to jump off from the third floor balcony!"
Both Thaggar and Akira who had initially planned to ignore the disturbance got up quickly and begun to dress up. Thaggar did not bother with his shirt and run out of the room, cursing under his breath. It didn't take him long to reach the third floor as Akira's room was on the fourth, as were his and Savvy's. When he reached the balcony, Savvy was sitting on the stone railing with tears in her eyes while some maids and guards tried to convince her to get down.
"Savvy, stop!" Thaggar boomed directly going to grab her.
Savvy had no time to even process his arrival but she soon found herself on the floor while Thaggar held her; a touch she had longed for since their marriage.
"When did you....?"
"Does it matter?!"
Savvy froze and looked down at her shaking hands, unable to say anything else. Akira arrived shortly after and Savvy seemed to finally recover from her shock.
"I told you I needed you and you went to this orphan to be with her!" Savvy screamed accusingly while pointing her still shaking finger at Akira who was standing looking at her with concern.
"Savvy, Akira is my wife...."
"And me?!"
"I was just for emotional support." Akira said.
"Emotional support?" Savvy repeated while her eyes examined Thaggar's disheveled state.
She let our a pained chuckle. Even an infant could tell what they were doing and yet Akira thought she was stupid enough to fall for such a childish lie?!
"Everyone leave." Thaggar said seriously and all the servants left leaving the three alone.
Thaggar stood up and looked down at Savvy who was glaring at Akira.
"You came here and took my husband from me and now you think you can make fun of me for still being a virgin even though I've been married for nearly three moons?!"
"I never made....."
"Then what you vixen?!" Savvy exclaimed finally finding the strength to stand up.
"Savvy I am....."
Savvy screamed, once more cutting Akira off and getting on Thaggar's last surviving nerves.
"Savvy!" He growled and she fell silent, back to shivering and trying to hide herself.
Thaggar took a moment to calm down, the air becoming much denser from the tension.
"Savvy, I haven't consummated our marriage because it is void." Thaggar stated clearly.
Confused, Savvy laughed, still holding on to the hope that he was just playing with her.
