She is face to face with his bulge and Calista hesitantly places her hands on his thighs. Butterflies erupt in her stomach and she fumbles to undo his trousers.

He helps her pull them down so he is only left in his boxers. Jasper shivers under her touch and she starts to slip his boxers down.

His member springs up and the boxers are discarded. He loves how her eyes widen and she licks her lips. It makes him want her even more.

Her fingers wrap around his shaft and looks up at him. "I don't know what to do." Her cheeks redden and her black eyelashes flutter.

"Put it in your mouth" He instructs. She opens her mouth and places his tip on her tongue. Jasper groans and she feels him twitch under her touch.

She was making him feel this way. Her lips wrap around his length and swirls her tongue to taste him.

His hand fists in her hair and she eases him in and out. Tingles shoot through her whole body when he thrust in herself. She almost gags and her eyes water.

She slips him out of her mouth and gently kisses the head. That's when Jasper loses it. He abruptly grabs Calista and throws her on the bed.

Was she doing something wrong? It was her first time doing that so she was probably terrible. Jasper's hands pull at her clothing until she is naked underneath him and he kisses down her neck.

"You had me so close to releasing myself all over your pretty face." He mumbles. His stubble brushes up against the soft skin of her neck causing a moan. "So who was the boy in the market today?"

She freezes under his touch. "He was no one, I was just talking to him."

"I heard that he knocked you to the ground, Calista." He growls. She huffs and pushes him off. When he doesn't budge she rolls from underneath him.

She lays on her side her bare back facing him. His jaw clenches and he pushes himself against her from behind. "What did you say to this boy?"

"It's none of your concern." Wrong thing to say.

On her side she feels Jasper enter her from behind. "If it involves you it is my concern. And if you ever talk to this boy again I'll kill him." He grunts, punctuating his words by slamming into her. She doesn't get a chance to reprimand him.

Calista moans and arches her back against him feeling his muscled chest. His length feels huge inside her but there isn't pain.

Picking up his pace the she feels him swell deep inside her. Jasper bits her shoulder as he releases himself inside her. She feels the wet good stuff between her thighs and Calista stops herself from reaching down there to feel it herself.

Jasper rolls off of her and pulls Calista into his chest. She tilts her head up and for the first time places her lips on his. Her kiss is sweet and gentle not like the heated and rough ones Jasper gives her.

Sated, Jasper stares down at Calista and her eyelids are already fluttering closed.

:::::::::

When Jasper came into the bedroom that afternoon he finds Calista reading a book in the corner.

She looks up when he closes the door. "We have to talk, princess." He says. Calista closes her book and sets it back on the shelf. "I have to go to Phintis to negotiate something with King Midas. I want you to come accompany me."

The is a island smaller than Brealle all the way to the west. "What business do you have in Phintis?" She asks.

Jasper looks away, seeming uncomfortable. "I have to apologize to the King."

"What did you do to upset King Midas?" Calista crosses her arms in front of her. Jasper's eyes shoot to her cleavage and he runs his jaw as if thinking. "Are you going to answer?" She says irritably, dropping her hands to her sides.

His hand rests on her waist. "I was going  to marry his daughter. But I backed out, instead, marrying you."

Calista's eyebrows scrunch together. "When were you going to tell me this?" She pushes away his hand.

"I told you now, that's all that matters." Jasper says, his fingers twirling a piece of her hair.

Calista wraps her arms around Jasper's neck, her body pressed against his. He doesn't expect such a move from her and he's stunned for a second.

"When do we leave?" She asks, kissing along his jaw. He shudders and Calista is enjoying the role switches

"As soon as possible." He kisses her, biting her lip. "Give me ten minutes." Jasper picks her up and tosses her on the bed.

:::::::::

Storm clouds gather in the sky and Calista can't help but feel nervous. "Are you sure it's safe to sail west in this weather."

"We're perfectly fine." Jasper nuzzles his face in my hair as the ship leaves the docks. Phintis is three day trip from Laeth and she wants to enjoy as much of the sea as she can.

Fat rain drops start to fall down from the sky and Jasper ushers her inside like she's made of sugar.

This is the same ship that took her from Brealle. Jasper leads her down to his chambers and kisses her forehead gently. "I have business to attend to, but I'll be back."

She enters Jasper's chambers and shuts the door behind her. There is really nothing for her to do so she plops on the bed and soon the rocking of the ship lulls her to sleep.

::::::::

Calista wakes to the sound of thunder. She feels groggy from her long nap but she instantly feels sick from the violent rocking of the ship.

Thunder booms again and she has a bad feeling about this. She decides to see what's happening up on the deck.

Rain beats heavily on the deck and men run around attending to the ship. Lighting flashes and it seems to light up the whole sky.

Someone notices her. "You Highness, please stay in your chambers."

"Where's the King?" She asks. A huge wave crashes against the boat and she stumbles out into the rain. He doesn't answer her. Calista watches as a man close to the east side of the ship falls over board.

Cargo is being thrown over board and instead of just standing there, she helps with the heavy lifting.

Lightning strikes the boat at the north end and a fire blooms to life. Screams erupt around her and men scramble to put out the growing flames.

Her clothes are soaked from the rain and Jasper is still nowhere to be seen.

"Brace yourself!" Someone shouts. Calista couldn't find anything to hold onto quick enough and the force of the wave knocks her overboard.

She plummets toward the dark water and she is swallowed by the waves. It's so dark that she doesn't know which way is up or down.

Calista kicks her legs and swims in the direction she thinks is up. Her head breaks the surface and she takes a huge gulp of air, only to be slammed back down by a wave.

She doesn't let the fear get to her. Calista's lungs scream after awhile of trying to get back to the surface. Once her head pops up out of the water she looks for something to hold onto.

A wooden crate is the closest thing to her and she holds onto it tightly. She has drifted far away from the ship. The fire has been doused but she could see the lights from the lanterns.

Stay calm. Tears threaten to spill. There is not way she could swim that distance. Calista will drown if she tries.

She curses the storm and worry settles in. What happened to Jasper?

The ship drifts away until it is only a speck of light. Then she feels utterly alone.
