The reckoning of a Queen

He continued to hold her close, cradling her, and rocking her gently. She was small enough to fit fully in his arms, and he leaned back slowly, gently. Tumbling to the floor, and pulling her on top of him. She rested fully on his warm belly and off the floor. Her breathing was already sounding more even and soft, as through sleepiness was taking her.

He still felt out of whack, confused by the onslaught of emotions that had violently attacked him with the memories. Him and Zee’s relationship had been sleepy since he had become leader. Lacking in the fire and passion they had found before. He knew that it was wrong, and terrible, but some part of him was almost glad for the drama. The chance to feel her fire and energy against him again. He tucked his head gently over hers, holding her tight. “God, I love you Zee. I love you to the end of the world and back. You are mine. Mine, mine, mine. “ he whispered, almost like a lullaby, rocking her to sleep.
