Did he touch me or was I Dreaming

Ivey woke up today like any other day

long dark curly hair spread across the bed carelessly.

Rubbing her eyes as the sun peeps through the window.

Shinning off her chocolate brown face exposes her honey brown eyes.

She slowly sits up.

The covers fall, exposing her large bare ******.

The breeze from the open window brushes past her sensitive spots.

Ivey, pauses for a moment, slowly lowering her hands

she looks down in confusion.

"When did I take my clothes off?"

She says quietly.

"You didn't, I did"

The most attractive masculine voice spoke hastily.

She looks around frantically and sees no one

Fear setting in her mind.

Did I imagine that?

Suddenly, a figure appears out of thin air before her.

This dark, muscular, tall man stands shirtless at the foot of the bed.

All he wore were leisure pants that showed his manhood's shape.

Muscles reflected in the sun light that peers into the room.

Tattoo's shaping in around each muscle.

Ivey swallows deeply

So that wasn't a dream after all, she thinks to herself.

The man slowly walks to the side of the bed Ivey is laying on.

His shoulder-length curls drape his face and sway with each step.

Never breaking eye contact with hers.

He had a look of lust, hunger, and confidence.

Ivey looked terrified, unable to process what was a dream and what was not. Stares at the man in fear.

He wasn't just a man at all, though.

He was the king she so lusted after when she saw him the first time a week prior at the local market while Shopping for her mother, she went as she always did on Sundays.

Ivey was a 22-year-old unwed beauty with the richest coffee brown skin tone.

A voluptuous figure with curves, large breasts, and wide hips.

Her hair was black as night.

kinky curls that lay wildly against the sparkling brown eyes it paired with.

She was often sought out but refused to marry a man she knew she couldn't depend on or even love.

Her father left her mother for a rich widow when she was 4, and she refused to live the same fate as her mother. Sad, unable to move on.

Reading the list her mother gave her, she walked through the marketplace.

First meat, then eggs, she says to herself.

As she walks along the markets street, she hears frantic horses and looks around to see where the noise came from.

Woooooah!!!

You hear someone trying to tame the clearly erratic horses.

A block up her path, she sees a carriage much fancier than anyone in her village could afford, so they must be from the palace.

There is a very tall man wearing a black hooded cape trying to calm the horses that were jumping erratically.

He clearly had little experience with horses

Ivey's curiosity got the better of her.

She walks right past the meat market and continues towards the man.

She wanted to see who had this fancy carriage and what he looked like from the front.

As she walks closer, the two horses are calming down.

The man now rubbing their faces.

There, there, it's alright.

You two couldn't let me be inconspicuous, could you?  He says sarcastically

His voice sent a chill down her spine

She had never heard such an attractive voice.

She got nervous, remembering her pact to stay away from men.

She would just look and then go back to finish her shopping.

She was only a few steps away from him. She puts her head down and pretends to read the list aloud, trying to seem busy.

IVEY, where are you going?

The butcher who saw her walk past called down to her.

She froze.

She slowly looks up and sees the most green eyes looking at her.

Her heart sank

And her face went blank as If she had seen a ghost.

She was mesmerized, and the fear escaped her body.

This man was the most beautiful creature she has ever seen.

She blinked repeatedly after realizing she is standing there staring at this man who is looking directly back at her.

Ivey you ok?

The butcher calls.

Noticing the man who was staring blankly back at Ivey, he recognized him.

Good morning, you're majesty, the butcher says taking a bow.

Her eyes widen.

Neither of them looks away to acknowledge the butcher.

She breaks the eye contact , now embarrassed.

Your Majesty??? She thinks in confusion

Is that the king?

She slowly turns around and goes back to the meat shop.

Walking faster, the closer to the shop she got.

That was the only time she ever saw him.

How did he end up shirtless in her bedroom?
