"It won't work that way, love," he pointed out, pushing into his room and easing the door shut. "You'll have to marry someone, very publicly and that man will be your king. He’ll be the King of your people and a very public persona. Even if there are many lovers attending one another in the Royal chambers all over the realms, there cannot be but one King to each Queen, that's how it is and how it will forever be.” Dierk looked at her and smiled, "If it makes it easier I'll step aside in all ways, love. I don't want to and it would shatter something, but I don't want this to be hard on you either."
“Why do I have the feeling that you’re all going to tell me the same thing?” she asked with a tired sigh. Shaking her head, she held up her hand. “Don’t answer that. Don’t worry about it,” she murmured. “I suppose I’ll have to see what the uncles have to say about who will be my King.”
Moving to her, Dierk cupped her face in his hands and stared down at her. Licking his lips slowly, he swallowed hard, "Niklaus is too loud and often too obnoxious to be King, which he’d tell you if you were to ask him, but I think that sort of brashness could also be an asset. Baldric would be a good King, but he’ll hesitate and likely try to back out if you ask him. He didn’t like the public life even before he came to join us. Which leaves me," he murmured quietly. "I honestly don't know if I'm king material, Snow. I have the most patience out of the group, but I think Baldric is the more calming force even when he's pulling a prank. That’s what you have in us three. If you still wish to have your uncles choose the King for you we’ll bow to your judgment."
“I don’t know who to choose,” she whispered. “You already said you want nothing to do with it and you would have been my choice, Dierk. You’re intelligent, kind, and you truly are a calming force, for me at least. You lead without even realizing it. Niklaus and Baldric do as you wish them to without them even realizing it. You’d be the ideal man to stand at my side if we’re able to wrestle my kingdom from my stepmother.”
Staring down at her for a time, he nodded before going down to a knee and bowing his head. "If that is your wish, Princess, I’ll abide by your choice.” Lifting his chin slightly, he peeked at her. "How was that for humble?" he asked with a faint grin curling his lips.
Snow laughed and shook her head. “You’re a very silly man.” Reaching out, she cupped his strong cheek with her much smaller hand. “But that’s alright because it’s just one of the many things that make you so amazing. Now, rise, Dierk, let’s get cleaned up and dressed so we can get back to relaxing.”
Getting to his feet, he wrapped his arms around her and lifted her into the air. "You didn't say you'd accept me in the position, love," he stared up at her. Letting her slide down his body slowly, he tightened his arms when her face was level with his. "Or would you prefer I insist one of the others take the job as your King?"
“I want you, Dierk,” Snow said softly. “If you’d truly take it, I want you, I already have such a deep affection for you. You help me to remain calm and collected and you’ve been with me longest. Plus I honestly think you’ be best to sit on my father’s throne.” She didn’t doubt his friends, but her gut told her he’d be best.
"Oh God, I didn't even think of that," he groaned, resting his forehead to hers. Making a face, he mumbled under his breath for a moment before looking at her as he drew back, "Alright, I'm your man or sucker or whatever term you want to use.” Lowering her to her feet, he moved to the tub and pumped out a bit of water onto a towel, "Come here, sweetheart, and let’s at least cleanse you."
Snow moved to him, braced her hand on his shoulder, and smiled. “Now that we have that out of the way I’m sure your friends are going to be very, very happy to talk to you. They’ll likely feel much better once you tell them you’re putting yourself on the sacrificial altar, so to speak.”
"I'm never going to live it down," he muttered, crouching to wash his seed and her blood from her thighs. Stroking the towel over her pussy as gently as could be, he cleaned her. Straightening up, he gave it a rinse and, squeezing out the excess, he began to clean the sweat from her body.
“Live what down?” she asked with a frown. “Will being married to me really be that much of a chore? I mean if we’re to survive that is. If it’s too much, you should tell me now. I don’t want you doing something you really don’t wish to do.”
"I didn't mean that, Snow, not at all. I meant I’ll have years of ribbing from the others. They can be extremely creative in their taunts when they put their mind to it.” Running the towel down her arm, he kissed her shoulder, "Being married to you won't be a chore at all, but I should warn you, I don’t do fancy and stuffy clothing outside the wedding."
That had her grinning hesitantly, “I’ll keep that in mind.” Leaning in, she pulled his head to hers and just rested her forehead against his. “I know this isn’t what you signed up for when you saved my derriere in the forest, but I’m very, very happy that it was you and that you care for me at least enough to be willing to marry me.” If they survived.
"I care a lot more than you know," he whispered softly. "I just hope I can show you how much.” Cupping her face, he kissed her gently, pulling her closer to his body and wrapped his free arm around her. Sliding his hand down, he cupped her ass and squeezed as he pushed his tongue deep into her mouth.
All was forgotten when Dierk began to kiss her. Snow suddenly only wanted to be close to him, to have him touching her, kissing her, loving her. Her hands wrapped around his neck to hold him close even as her body melded as tightly to his.
Dropping the towel, Dierk turned them and put her back to the wall. Catching her hands, he pushed them up over her head. Kissing her hard and fast, he began to move his mouth to her neck dropping little kisses down her throat.
Snow lifted a leg and wrapped it around Dierk’s upper leg rubbing against him. “I’m feeling all wet again,” she said with a moan. “I really think you should do something about it, especially since you said it won’t hurt this time.”
"You were virgin, Snow," he murmured on a groan as he rocked his cock through her moisture. "You'll be sore if we do this again so soon," but he pressed his cock into her body as he lifted her up. "We'll go slow and gentle so you don't feel any more bruised than you already do."
Snow wrapped her legs around his hips and held on. “Right now it only feels so good.” There was a small sting but she was so wet that her body was accepting him easily. “You are big and I feel you stretching me down there but it feels good, not bad.”
Brushing a kiss to her neck, he nibbled lightly, "I love how tight your pussy is as you wrap so warm and slick around my cock.” Lifting his head, he began to thrust slowly into her body, "It's the most intimate of hugs there is."
“I love the feeling of your cock inside of my pussy,” Snow used his words right back at him. “I think it’s the most amazing feeling in the world and I want it, often. I’m not sure I’ll ever get enough of this.”
"You haven't had us all yet," he murmured with a smile. "Just think of all three of us with just you in a bed as we all make love, touch and do whatever we want. I know you're thinking about it because I just felt your body coat mine with more liquid silk," he chuckled as he thrust his cock into her over and over in his leisurely pace.
“I was thinking about it,” she admitted and shuddered, “I need to know.” She leaned in and brushed her lips to his. “How will we all fit together?” Another shudder and another release of her pleasure onto his cock. “I have only one pussy, darling,” she teased happily.
"There are many ways if you’re open enough to the possibilities," he said softly. Thrusting slowly, he traced his fingers up to her breast and rubbed his thumb to her nipple. "One in your pussy, one in your ass, and if you ever felt the urge, one in your mouth."
“Oh God, that’d be so naughty, wicked, and I love it,” she admitted with a slow moan of need. “I really would like to try that one day. For now, God you feel so good where you are.”
"I happen to like wh
ere I am too," he smiled at her. Wrapping his arms around her, he moved them from the wall to the bed. Kneeling on the bed, he eased her down under him carefully. Settling over her, he began to move again, "I happen to like where you are even better."
“I really like where I am a great deal as well.” Snow wrapped her leg around his and pulled him closer. “I love having you where you are, Dierk, and I could happily have you here as much as we could possibly get by with it.”
"Well I plan on being buried deep in your sweet pussy for days, if not weeks.” Thrusting his hips to meet hers, he lowered his head to nibble on her neck. "When I'm not licking you," he whispered softly against her ear.
“Oh lord,” she moaned and tightened her legs on him all the more. “I really, really think I’m totally on board with that one. In fact I know that I am,” she said with another shiver of pure delight racing through her body.
Stroking his hand down her body, he slipped it under her and began a slow rub of her anus. Slowly pressing a finger in, he circled the muscles gently as he continued to rock his cock into her slick pussy. "I plan on licking you as soon as I give you another orgasm, give you another couple and then maybe fuck you once more. If you're open to it," he licked at her throat slowly.
“I think I’m totally open.” She lifted herself up to meet him halfway and shuddered. “Oh God you feel so good,” she moaned. “I like that.” She looked up into his eyes, “You touching me back there.”
Smiling at her he pressed his finger a little deeper, "Just imagine how good it’ll feel to have a cock pressed in deep, filling you up back here, while another is in your pussy," he whispered. Sliding his finger in and out slowly, he matched the rhythm with his cock, "Overflowing and stuffed to the brim."
“Oh, I think I’m going to love that feeling,” Snow whimpered. “I want that. I want to feel all of it. Do you think we can do that tonight?” she asked hopefully, “Or now. I’d be good with now too.”
"We need to stretch you so you aren't harmed in any way, but it's possible if you don't mind a pinch of pain," he murmured, licking along her jaw. "Who would you like to be stuffed back here?" Dierk wiggled his finger in deeper.
“Whomever you want,” she told him honestly and shivered. “I want you, I want them as well,” she admitted to him. “So it’s your choice, darling. You tell me who you want to have inside of me with you.”
"I think we should ask Baldric," he told her, working a second finger into her ass. "He hasn't gotten a chance to spend time with you and I know you’ll need to spend time with him too so you can be comfortable with us all.” Spreading his fingers, he began to slide into her pussy faster, his balls lightly bumping her ass and his fingers.
“Oh God,” she moaned. “Yes, yes I think we should do just that,” she whimpered. “I want to feel you both inside of me. I need to feel you both inside of me. Please,” she begged.
Pressing his fingers even deeper, he spread his fingers wider and thrust hard. Nipping at her jaw, he pressed a kiss to her mouth, "We'll talk to him after I'm done with you, and I'm definitely not done with you just yet."
“Good thing,” Snow said with a smile. “Oh god that feels so good,” she whispered, “Especially when you go really deep like that. It feels so good.” Her fingers clenched on his back tightly and she cried out, “Harder.”
Slamming his cock into her pussy over and over, Dierk pressed his fingers fully into her ass and spread them as wide as he could. "Scream for me, Snow, let me know you like what I'm doing with you right now."
Snow did just that. She screamed as she came hard in his arms. She shivered, licked her lips, and sobbed out again. “Oh God,” she sobbed. “Dierk,” she cried out hard, her vision wavering as she did.
Slamming into her repeatedly, he arched back and bellowed her name as he came. Collapsing over her, Dierk didn't move for long moments as they both sucked in air. Finally he rolled them so she was on top and withdrew his fingers to rub at her ass in gentle, massaging movements.
Snow shuddered. “I really do like this a great deal.” she whispered. “I’d like to do this often, please,” she whispered as she gasped for air on his chest.
Giving a breathless chuckle, he nodded and groaned, "Often could be done," he wheezed out. Groaning softly, he squeezed her ass cheek and let his hand fall to the bed. "Gods that was wild and definitely worth repeating every damned day."
“Good,” Snow yawned and curled up close to him. “Talk about a marvelous way to relax. I really think you did a great job relaxing me,” she whispered with a smile.
"I'm sure you'll relax this way with the others too," he said softly. Stroking his fingers over her back, he relaxed another moment before shifting around. Grabbing the blankets, he hauled them up and over their bodies. Settling back, he wrapped her in his arms, "Sleep if you can for now. Dinner will be a couple hours yet and hopefully by then we’ll have heard something back from the Elven Queen."
“I hope so as well,” Snow said with a sigh. “I truly want to mitigate the damage that might come to you and the others if at all possible, please.” Snow had only just met these men but she didn’t want anything to happen to them, ever. But she needed to get to her uncles and quickly. She knew it would not be easy, it had been circling in her mind since she’d broken free just how to get there and not get caught by the Queen. That had been before she’d met the Huntsmen of course. From all she’d seen so far these three men would get her there quickly and as safely as was possible. But that didn’t seem to help the niggling worry in her head.
"Worry not, Snow, we’re quick of foot and only slightly slower of mind," he grinned at her. "We’re not looking to have our asses handed to us, but we won't back down from what is right and just. If it helps any we always think through all available options before we choose one."
“Thank you,” Snow said sleepily and yawned again. Nestling in closer to Dierk, she sighed. “I could very easily become accustomed to this, Dierk, to being in your arms and bed,” she whispered just as she dropped into a deep sleep.
"As could I, Snow, as could I," he whispered, staring down at her relaxed face. Letting out a breath, he shook his head and settled down to rest for a few hours.
Chapter Six
Coming into the home the next morning, Niklaus held up a scroll. "We've gotten word from the Elves," he said joining them at the table.
"I thought I heard one of their horns earlier," Baldric commented with a frown.
"You did, I was out checking for new tracks when I heard it so I went off to see what they wanted," Nik continued and rolled the scroll over to Snow. "Give it a read, Princess, and let us know what they've decided. Let us see if Dierk is as smooth with his words as he is in other regards," that was said with a wink thrown to his friend.
"Don't make me come over there, Niklaus, I will thump you," Dierk murmured before yawning wide.
Snow took the scroll and looked it over. “She’ll accept, but she wants a boon from me, not you.” Closing it quickly, she nodded, “She will have it.” It didn’t matter what it was, this was Snow’s fee to pay, not the men that she had grown to care for. “She said we can leave on the light of the morning and she’ll have her Royal Guards at the entrance. They’ll lead us to one of my uncle’s lands and then when the time is right, join the fight with us against the Queen.”
"Not so fast," Dierk said, snagging the scroll from her and read it, "It's not that she wants a boon from you, Snow, she wants a boon of you. That’s a big difference in the Elvish language and in their minds as well. I’d ask her what boon she might request before you accept her invitation. She may end up sticking you with one of her relatives and insisting you marry him," he pointed out, handing the scroll back to her, and yawned once more.
Snow sighed, “I know.” She just didn’t know what else to do. “Alright, then we need to find out what this boon is she wants from me, of me, so we can actually get this over and done with.” She just wanted to get to her uncles, assure them she was alive and well,
then begin to plan to overthrow the rotten bitch that had taken her throne.
"I'll write up another message and take it to the Guards, they said some would be in the area near the border for a while in case we had a message to return," Niklaus said. "I’ll even be polite," he grinned, "mostly."
“Thank you, Niklaus,” Snow said with a soft smile. “I appreciate you doing that and yes, please be polite. I’d truly hate to have to face off against the Elven Queen in order to keep you alive and whole and with me. I would but, yeah.”
"You'd do it anyway," he said getting up. Running a hand over her hair, he moved around the table and headed toward the small table under a window. Sitting, he pulled out a sheet of parchment, an inkwell, and pen. Staring out the window a moment, he began to write.
"Well, while he's doing that I'm going to go and check the perimeter on the other side of us," Dierk said, getting to his feet with a stretch. Leaning over the table, he pressed a kiss to Snow's lips, "Be good," he murmured with a wicked grin on his lips. Brushing his lips over her cheek to her ear, he kept his voice low, "Get to know Baldric while we're out, love.” Pushing away, he winked and, collecting his bag, he headed for the door.
Snow smiled at Dierk and then looked to Baldric, feeling a little unsure. When they were alone she settled down at his side. “So he wants me to get to know you. Do you want that?” she asked. “I’d very much like to become a part of all three of your lives, what do you want?” He was so quiet in comparison to the other two that, beyond the hug he’d given her and some encouraging words, she knew next to nothing of his character.
"Of course I want that," Baldric said quietly as he looked at her. Leaning in, he lowered his voice, "But it's often hard to get a word in edgewise with Nik and Dierk around, they’re very talkative people," he whispered. Grinning, he sat back and looked at her with a slight wariness to his own gaze, she noted. Maybe he was as worried as she was. "How are you doing? I know a lot has been going on and everything seems to be coming to a head quickly in the kingdom, how are you handling all this?"
