"Hak we can't." a high pitched voice came through the night. "Hak! We can't!" Yona pushed the general's head away. He had only just started kissing her neck. The good stuff was yet to come. And Yona wanted the good stuff. She could feel it in her bones, how much she craved his touch. She wanted him to do… everything.

But now wasn't the time. She was to be coroneted in the morning- that meant that a whole team of maids would be in her room in the morning. The new General of the Sky Tribe, Hak, couldn't be found in her bed. It didn't matter how much they loved each other. Princess Yona had one more night until she became Queen Yona, and she needed to make sure that there was no reason for anyone to deny her claim.

There were, are, still many who are loyal to Soo-Won. Yona had the wind tribe and the water tribe. The wind tribe was always loyal, and Lili had already succeeded her father. Tae-Jun had talked his brother into following Yona, especially after he found out how Il really died. And that it was Yona who discovered Iza seeds. It wasn't a perfect hold though. But the real problem was the Sky Tribe and the Earth Tribe. The Earth Tribe followed the strong, as Gun-Tae was wont to do. But he had come to respect Soo-Won. He only started following Yona after he saw the four dragons. Actually, he only started following Yona when his people saw the four dragons. The entire city of Awa rallied behind Yona, along with almost every other citizen of the Fire Tribe. He saw who the people wanted, but he was on the fence about Yona himself.

The Sky Tribe was all completely loyal to Soo-Won. They had to be brought down. They had to be just about gutted. Joo-doh was actually killed in the fight, Soo-Won was captured. The Sky Tribe was forced to take a new general, and a new monarch.

This was a month ago. And in one month, Yona had managed to quell as many worries as possible. The biggest one was her illicit relationship with General Hak. They loved each other, and when they started having sex- she had never been happier. But in the month since she had claimed her place, they hadn't been able to spend the night together.

"Yona… It's been a month. I don't think I can last much longer." He breathed into her ear.

"Me neither… but if we don't make it through tomorrow. An unmarried queen-"

"By law can't know the touch of a man."

"And the moment I marry he becomes my King."

"Which I don't want to be. I am no king- I work better as a general."

They had this conversation every night for the past month. Every night since they came back into the palace.

But Yona had a plan. It was the first thing she was going to do as Queen. She was going to make it so that the marriage and coronation were two different things. So one's spouse wouldn't automatically become the other monarch.

But Yona needed to be Queen to do it.

He gave Yona a deep kiss, let her feel his emotion, his longing, and then he left. Zeno and Shin-Ah were one the other side of the door. Zeno gave a supportive smile.

"Just one more day, mister. You can do it."

Hak half smiled back. He just needed to go back to his room and take care of the business. Too bad Jae-Ha was there with a bottle of wine and wish to celebrate the princess's promotion to queen.

Yona, on the other hand, was alone. Alone and riled up. She wasn't happy with the month long wait either. So just like she had every night for three and a half weeks after Hak left her room ( when her self-control gave out) , she left her hand travel south.

She was already wet, when she wasn't focused on politics, this was all she was thinking about. Hak, kissing her neck, just a few minutes ago, Hak… kissing her chest, her stomach, her womanhood.

Her finger dipped into the slit, coating it in a thin film of her juices before travelling up to find her bud. She rubbed, thinking about Hak's hands, trying to emulate what Hak always did. She tried to feel him touching her, tasting her. She felt herself rise higher and higher. She went harder, rougher, higher. Her back arched and she let out a moan. And then… she was done.

It was too fast.

She hated it. She hated waiting. She hated that this anticipation made it go so fast. There was no build. The orgasm didn't feel proper. It didn't feel full.

She needed Hak.
