CHAPTER 50

Andrea entered the room and Starchild closed the door. Andrea looked around.

There was a very large four-poster bed. Each of the corners of the bed was a rose stem with a rose bud on top. Roses were carved into the headboard; the coverlet was in different shades of lavender.

There was a fireplace in the room with a lit fire. There were two chairs and a serving cart laden with food and drink.

"Would you like something to eat my lady?"

Andrea was afraid to eat anything. Her stomach was doing flip flops, she was so nervous she thought butterflies were in her stomach.

"No thank you."

She continued to look around the room, her gaze continually going back to the bed. What would he expect from her? Did he realize how nervous she was?

Starchild could read her mind; he did know how nervous she was. He walked up behind her, "My lady."

Andrea was so startled she let out a gasp. "I'm sorry. You startled me."

"Come sit by the fire and drink this." He handed her a cup of wine and led her to a couch by the fire.

"Drink up my lady. It will help warm you."

Andrea drank the wine, it tasted so good and it did warm her. Starchild sat next to her observing her movements. As she gazed into the fire his fingers traced along her cheek.

"You are very lovely."

Andrea blushed. No one had ever told her that before. Starchild took the cup from her and his fingers traced her lips. He leaned over and kissed her deeply. Andrea continued to blush even deeper. No one had kissed her like that before. Demon had kissed her in the meadow but he had just brushed her lips. There was something about this kiss that was more.

Starchild’s eyes sparkled, she could see there was something more in his eyes, he wanted something. Starchild's fingers traced along her neck and then his lips followed his fingers. Andrea closed her eyes she liked this feeling.

Starchild noticed her reaction and smiled to himself. He took her by the hand and pulled her up off the couch. He took her in his arms and kissed her again. At first the kiss was gentle, and then it became more passionate. Andrea was loosing herself in his kiss.

Starchild trailed kisses down her neck. Andrea was completely lost to this sensation.

Starchild stopped, "Andrea."

She opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion. Had she done something wrong? Did he not want her? Andrea looked at him with a question in her eyes.

"Andrea" he started again. "It would not be a good thing if Stephen decided to call you right now. I would like to block your mind so he cannot interrupt."

Andrea thought for a moment, "You are right. I can do it." She put her hands to her temples; quickly Starchild grabbed her hands and pulled them down.

"No. Let me do it. Let me protect you."

No one had ever offered to protect Andrea before. She had always taken care of herself. Here was this man who was offering her his protection. But Andrea knew if he put the binding spell on her mind, he was the only one who could take it off. She hesitated for a moment, she looked at him and with full trust said, "All right."

Starchild placed his hands on either side of her head and closed his eyes.

"When it is all over I will remove the binding spell."

Andrea had to trust him. Starchild knew that this was a big step for Andrea to allow someone to place a binding spell on her. He understood how much trust she had just placed in him and it made his heart glad. This was a good step.

He went back to his seduction. He held her in his arms and said, "Now, where were we?"

Starchild picked her up and carried her to the bed. Reverently he laid her down on the bed and he removed his robe he lay down next to her. No matter how much he wanted her he had to go slowly to complete his final seduction of The Lady.

Andrea tensed, what was he going to do next?

He waited for her to relax, the pleasure he created was so intense she did not think she could stand it.

They lay there, out of breath, waiting as their hearts slowed, and their breathing returning to normal. Starchild caressed her cheek.

"Are you all right my lady?"

She looked at him, "Yes. I never knew such pleasure existed."

Andrea curled up next to Starchild, closed her eyes and went to sleep. As sleep overtook her, thoughts ran through her mind, so this is what it is like. ‘This might not be as bad as I thought.’

In the middle of the night Andrea felt a tingly sensation on her body. She was not sure what it was; her mind was still reeling from her earlier experience. The feeling continued. She opened her eyes to find Starchild's hands and mouth busily working on her body again.

"I didn't think you would ever wake up."

Andrea laughed.

Starchild used all of his knowledge of seduction to bring The Lady to the highest peak. As she reached that high peak the intensity was too much and she screamed out. Starchild was pleased.
