Unattainable

By the time Nadya awoke Clopin was already gone. There was a small plate of food on a nearby table. She sat up and moved too it realizing that Clopin had prepared it for her.

Poking at it she frowned wondering just how the man lived before she came along. Nadya took only a few bites before desiding it best that she made sure to wake before her husband to prepare their morning meal.

She got cleaned up and soon ventured out into the court. In a much better mood thanks to their late night walk. Nadya set off to find Clopin's uncle.

She hadn't realized that the court was so big. It must have held hundreds of gypsies. She asked around to a few people if they have seen Methalius but each time turned up a dead end. Nearly two hours had passed before she finally found him.

"Shouldn't you be our earning money or stealing something?" She asked as she approached him.

Methalius laughed. "I am working." He said. "I help people around here. I repair things, do random favors... it gets me by."

Smirking she looked around then took a seat near by. "He took me uptop last night..." She said quite a bit more chipper now.

He smiled. "That's good." He said. "And? Do you like him a bit more?"

"Hmm...." She tilted her head to the side as if in deep thought. "Well... I think I can deal with living with him.... but 'like' is such a strong word..." Nadya looked to the tunnel. "I would like to take him a meal.... I.. Had the unpleasent fortune to taste food he prepared and it nowonder he's a twig........" She paused then looked to him. "Can you take me into town?"

"If we can get out of here." Methalius said. "Clopin is working right now so there's no way for you to get his permission." He said. "But there's not harm in trying."

Nodding she held a hand to him. "Let me get some things I'll be back shortly." She pushed off the box and disappeared she returned with a bit of food wrapped in a peice of cloth.

"You ready?" He asked.

"Yes" Nadya tucked the cloth against her and looked to the tunnel praying that they would have no issue.

They made their way through the tunnels and to her suprise the guards mearly watched them as they passed.

She raised her brow as they made it through without a hitch. "I think he trusts me now..."

"Either that or he blieves he did something wrong." He said. "Where do you want to go?"

She paused a moment as they finally were out of the tunnels and heading toward the city. "I don't know..." She took a deep breath. "Other then dropping this off... What should I see?"

"I suppose you'd want to see what Clopin does for a living." He said. "I think once we get there we'll see if he can take over non?"

"Mm... I'm sure you have other things you need to get done... So I think that would be best." She nodded in agreement.

She looked around as she heard the sound of bells before she turned back to Methalius to see him already walking away.

She moved quickly to catch up with him. The city was larger then she thought.

The sound of bells began getting louder and louder before they stopped. She could hear the faint sound of someone singing in the distance.

Her attention was drawn from the sound of the bells she listened carefully she knew that voice.

They turned the corner and she could see in the short distance a very colourful cart.

Looking to Methalius she raised a brow. "What is it he does for money?"

Methalius pointed to the cart as they walked closer. She now could see Clopin standing in the cart talking to a small group of children.

"I wasn't lying when I told you he loves children."

She stopped before they reached the cobblestone market place to watch on as the children looked on eagerly.

Clopin saw Nadya out of the corner of his eye but didn't waver from his story. He told the children a story of a girl and her three ugly step sisters.

As the story came to a close Nadya smirked shaking her head. "Where does he come up with these storys Methalius?" She was amused by the childish quality and the hidden lesson.

"I have no idea." He said. "But he's good is he not?" He watched as a few parents came to collect their children a few putting some coins into his little collection box on the side of his cart. He smiled and thanked each one in kind.

"Yes..." Nadya nodded in agreement. She would wait until the last child was pulled away before moving toward the cart.

Clopin watched as the last child was pulled away and he pulled the coins from the box.

"This is what you do? Play with Children all day?" She asked with an unimpressed look on her face.

"I entertain children, keep them occupied while their parents are about doing their daily routine. I also do some acrobatics and host the feast of fools every year."

"Hm..." She shifted her weight to one leg and looked him over. She tossed him the bit of food she had prepared. "Lucky me... My husband has to be the center of attention every chance he gets..."

Clopin smirked and opened the cloth. "What can I say?" He asked. "I like the attention."

She looked back to Methalius kissing his cheek she thanked him for bringing her to her husband. She watched as he made his way back to the court before turning to Clopin. "He's a good man... Why can't you be more like him?" She teased.

"You don't know me." Clopin said not looking at her as he put the coins into a small change purse. He looked upset by what she had said.

She hopped herself up onto the ledge of the cart almost tumblnig backwards into it. She was able to catch the ledge saving herself from completely humilating herself infront of her new husband. Grace was not in her nature.

Clopin leaned back as she jumped and raised an eyebrow at her. He shook his head and moved into his cart. "You shouldn't do that, this thing isn't all that sturdy." He said pulling up the backdrop of a ill drawn castle.

"No I shouldn't do it becasue I'm more likely to Smash my face into the ground then I am to ever make the ledge safely again." She turned herself pulling her legs into the cart watching him. "It's bigger then it looks in here."

Clopin sat down on a small mound of pillows in the corner and put his puppets back into their proper box.

Glancing behind her she looked to the people then slid of the ledge taking a seat behind him her back pressing to his. "Oh I should tell you... you are no longer allowed to make meals... Unless you are trying to kill someone..."

Clopin rolled his eyes and picked up one of his unfinished puppets and a needle and thread.

She looked back to him and frowned. She sighed as he remained quiet. She turned quickly snagging his hat from his head. "I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall!"

He moved so fast he was almost like a colourful blur. He snagged the hat back. "Never.... touch my hat." He said angrily.

"....." Nadya started at him for a moment then puched up from her spot. "I'll find my way back to the court." She held a bitter tone now, not knowing just what his problem was.

"Nadya stay here." He said putting his hat back on. "You didn't know, I didn't mean to snap at you. Just please don't touch my hat."

Turning back to him she frowned and shook her head. "What Worried your hair will fall out after." She near growled at him.

"It belonged to my grandfather." He said. "It's the only thing I have left of him."

"You need to control your temper!" She shook her head and leaned against the wall of the cart.

"I know." He said simply as he continued to sew his puppet. It was a girl with brown hair and a green dress much like hers.

Nadya sighed and moved back behind him falling to her knees on the pillows she rested her chin upon his shoulder watching him as he worked. "I enjoyed your Story.. You made those children so happy...... You will be a great father someday..."

"No I won't." He said looking away from her.

"Yes you will..." She slipped her arms around his abdomen taking a deep breath.

"I don't want kids." He said finishing off the clothing of the puppet. He put he needle and thread away and pulled out a paint brush.

"You're joking right?" She asked pulling back from him. "How can you love kids but not want your own?"

"I love kids. They are innocent." He said. "And easily coruptable. I wouldn't want any child turning out like me." He said. "I don't want to be like my father."

"Well... I've only known you for a little over a day now...." She pulled the paintbrush from his hand and moved around to sit in his lap. Her hands rest upon his shoulders. "I'm come to start to like you......"

"That doesn't change what kind of father I'd be." He said staring up at him. "I won't chance ruining a childs life cause of my own stupidity."

She raised a brow then cupping his face in her hands. She paused a moment looking him over before she slowly leaned in to press her lips to his.

Clopin closed his eyes and returned the kiss though not as eagerly as she had expected him too.

She was alright with that though. She nuzzled her cheek lightly against his and kissed his lips softly once more. "Lets go home...." She whispered softly to him.

"I can't." He said. "I have some work to get done. I have a few more puppets I have to finish and..." He trailed off when he realized she was looking at him funny. "What?"

Glancing quickly to the opening shetraced her hands down his and rolled her eyes in an innocent manner before looking back to him and just started.

"What?" He asked still confused. Surely she didn't want to... could she?

"Realy I know you aren't that dumb..." she said drumming her fingers on his chest. "Lets..." She pecked his lips. "Go home...." She repeated.

He smirked up at her. "Why wait to get home?" He asked.

Oh I think you would loose customers if we did this out on the streets..." She said with a smirk glad that he finally caught on.

He reached over and pulled the string that held the curtain to his main window causing it to close, the wood over top of it falling closed after. "What they don't know won't hurt my profit." He said smirking.

She watched as it closed and smirked slightly as she pressed herself against him and she dared it. Removing his hat she laid it carefully aside. "No...." She allowed her fingers to trace over the magenta mask. "I suppose not..."

Clopin watched her put his hat down and held his tongue about it. He sat back against the pillows behind him curious as to what she'd do.

She allowed her hands to move down over his face and his chest as she leaned forward resting herself against him. "I like you better with the mask on..." She said in a teasing manner laughing softly before she kissed him.

"Why? So you don't have to look at my ugly mug?" he asked slightly offended.

She laughed and hiked up her dress a bit to straddle his lap. "Maybe... Or maybe becasue there's something mysterious about masks..."

Clopin smirked. "Oui I'm the mysterious colourful man." He laughed and tried to sneak a peek under her dress.

She batted his hand away and playfully slapped his cheek and wagged her finger at him. "Ah ah... On my terms today..."

Clopin smiled up at her. "You can't blame me for trying." He said putting his hands behind his head.

"Oh I'm sure I could..." She laughed softly and reached back to the lace on her dress pulling it slowly loose. "How bad do you want me Clopin?"

"Why don't you look and see for yourself." He said looking down at the slowly growing bulge in his hose.

She moved herself agsint himfeeling his growling even larger she smiled leaning forward with her topfalling loose her breasts just barely covered still.

He watched her move over her and refrained from moaning.

Pressing her lips to his once more sheused her free hand to start slipping out of her dress.

Clopin deepened the kiss and pulled her closer to him a moment before he let her go so that she could remove her dress.

Nadya smiled at him as she slipped out of her dress leaving herself totally nude before him. She moved her naked body over him. She didn't know if she wanted to try this again. She heard many of the women in her old camp talk about sex like it was the best thing in the world. To her it was just painful. The only reason why she was doing this was because it was her duty as his wife to keep him happy.

Clopin leaned forward and kissed her. "This hardly seems fair." He whispered.

She smirked returning his kiss then opened her eyes slowly asking him. "Why's that?" Her hand slowly snaked itsway down over his stomach and down his hose.

"Because you... are totally naked and open to me... yet I am still fully clothed." He said running his fingers lightly over the curve of her breast.

Her fingers hooked around the waist of his hose and slowly pulled them down his leg pausing only a moment to remove his shoes. "I'm working on that...." Tossing them aside she looked up to him. "That a litle better?"

Clopin pulled his cock up so it lay on top of his tunic instead of hidden underneath. "Much."

Nadya smirked at this. She never really got a good look at him like this last night. Eyeing him up a moment she would start to pull his tunic free so they were naked in the cart together. Laying her naked body upon his on she whispered softly to him. "What would you like me to start with my king...."

"Though we where playing by your rules." He said smirking. "Tell me... have you ever taken a man in your mouth before?" He asked.

"You are the only man I have ever been with.." She answered honestly.

"You've never even... touched a man before?" He asked finding himself growing harder with this knowledge.

"I wasn't allowed." She stated looking down to him. "My father always said he had to keep me pure for my husband."

"Aw and here I thought you where willingly saving yourself for me." He said teasingly.

"Tell yourself that if it makes you feel better..." She answered and movedback taking his cock in hand she softly started to stroke his erect cock. She looked back to him watching his reaction as her lips pressed to his cock. Taking only the head into her mouth.

"I was teasing." Clopin said and shifted his hips. "And so are you..."

"I am not....." She spoke against his cock and took him in her mouth again. This time a bit farther. It wasn't much though and it was clear she didn't know what she was doing.

Clopin moaned. "Oui... you are..." He said. "Take it in farther." He said watching her. He had guessed she wouldn't know what to do and put his hand gently on the back of her head.

She tried to take him deeper into her mouth and coughed as his cock neared the back of her throat. Her mouth watered and she pulled back quickly.

Clopin moaned as she gagged a moment over his cock the vibration sending a wave of pleasure through his cock. He drew his knees up slightly spreading his legs giving her better access to him.

"You're okay." He said running his finger under her mouth where a little had escaped her mouth.

She took a breath before allowing him to guide her once more. Taking his length in her mouth she tried not to gag this time she moaned in discomfort as the head of his cock was pressed to the back of her throat. She tried to pull back again but Clopin held her head there.

She tried to pull back tears welling in her eyes. He knew what he was doing through her tongue pressed against his cock rubbing against it anything to try to free her throat of his cock.

He moaned at the feel of her tongue rubbing against him and pushed in farther a moment before letting her go.

She once again quickly pulled her mouth free of him and coughed once more Wiping the bit of Saliva from her lips. She shook her head not wanting to continue this but feeling the light preasure of his hand on the back of her head she took his cock once again sliding him as deep into her throat as she could handle. sputtering less each time.

"Relax you're throat." He said. "It'll make it easier and you can take me in farther."

She tried to do as he asked and slowly her throat stopped tensing as she slid him deep into her throat. She struggled less with him now her tonguemoving against his cock every so often.

"Mmmm... yeah just like that." He said watching her as she moved over his cock her lips wrapped around his swollen shaft.

She moved a bit faster now his moans of pleasure made her quite pleased with herself. She forced herself to take him even deeper her brow furrowing and she moaned against his length.

Clopin moaned and struggled not to push up into her. "Stop." He groaned.

Opening her eyes she looked up to him and slowly withdrew his cock from her mouth.

He pulled her up to him and kissed her roughly. "I want you." He whispered against her lips.

Nadya drug her teeth over her lips tasting his kiss. She nodded and opened those pale blue eyes. She could feel his cock throbbing against her. Pushing away from him she took hold of his cock as she had done the night before and ran it over her slit a few times before she lowered herself onto him fully.

Nadya couldn't help but let out a moan. There was only a small amount of pain this time but the pleasure of feeling him in her she did not expect.

"Feels good doesn't it?" Clopin asked a knowing smile playing over his face.

"Yes..." Nadya uttered softly and placed a hand to his stomach as she raised herself and lowered back down on him. The feeling of his cock in her had become something completely new to her.

"That's it Nadya." He said. "Show me what feels good to you."

Nadya continued to move against him moaning softly feeling herself becoming more wet as she rocked against him. "Mm... Clopin....." She moaned softly and leaned forward pressing her lips to his.

Clopin wrapped his arms around her running his hands lightly over her back and rocked himself against her meeting her thrust for thrust.

She lowered her head resting her forehead against his jaw line panting a smile crossed her lips and she whispered to him. "You feel so good..... I want you more.... Fuck me harder..."

Clopin shook his head. "Not yet..." He said enjoying the feeling of her moving over him.

His denying her what she wanted only made her more hungry for him She moaned in frustration and took hold of his lips with her own.

Clopin moaned and stilled himself allowing her to take over. He ran his hands over her body as her slick walls squeezed his aching cock.

Pushing back she moved her hands over his chest pushing the plams firmly into his chest. As she rocked against him Nadya opened her eyes as he moaned. "You seem to be enjoying it more now....."

"I have a beautiful woman, nay... my wife... treating me like I'm the only man in the world, how can I not be enjoying myself." He said.

smirking she reached out flicking the nose of his mask lightly. "I would have found ways to make it even better if you would have said 'my beautiful wife' " She teased him and kissed the tip of the mask.

"Mmm I still called you beautiful did I not?"

"Hmm... Don't seem to recall that..." She said with a soft laugh. Lightly she traced the pads of her fingers over his stomach and leaned her head back letting out a soft moan. "Those old hens were not lying.... this ... feels so good...."

"Wait till you experience the finale." He said thrusting up into her harder. He wanted her to cum before he did this time. If all went as planned maybe twice. Clopin smiled to himself and ran his hand down her stomach and ran the pad of his thumb over her clit.

She shivered in pleasure. "Oh Clopin...." She moaned softly the thrill of knowing there were hundreds of people casually walking around the cart only added to pleasure of it all. her breathing was becoming heavy. Thrusting faster against him she was starting to feel slightly faint.

"Cum for me." Clopin whispered in her ear thrusting up into her hard and rubbing her clit in a smooth sensual manner.

Nadya shivered again leaning forward she thrust faster against her husband. She could not hold back a loud moan quickly placing her mouth to his neck to muffle it. Her muscles tightened and one final thrust against him she felt herself release.

The pleasure washed over her and her elbow buckled She lay ontop of him panting lightly.

"Amazing isn't it?" Clopin asked as he took over moving against her.

She tried to regain her composure but another shiver rolled down her spine as he moved against her now. A soft moan slipped from her lips. "Yes...."

Clopin gently moved her over so that their positions where reversed. He knew he shouldn't do this but he couldn't hold himself back any longer. He didn't care who outside the cart knew what they where doing.

He slammed into her hard and fast against the soft pillows his pleasure increasing with every thrust.

She choked back a cry of pleasure as he thrust into her her hands gripped the pillows on either side of her head. Trying her best to match his pace. "uh-neegh... Oooh Yes!" She groaned through tightly grit teeth.

Clopin moaned as he thrust his cock into her again and again. "Fuck I'm so close..." He said.

Nadya twisted her hands in the pillows and pressed herself into him as hard as she could. "Yes.... Cum in me...."

Clopin moaned at her words and found himself brought over the threshold of pleasure as he came harshly inside her spilling his hot juices inside her.

She exhaled slowly feeling the warm cum spill into her. She closed her eyes and reached out for him. Weakly she pulled him close to kiss his lips. She had never had anyone make her feel that good.

"We better get out of here before someone shows up." He said. "We could be arrested for this." He kissed her once but made no effort to move. He really didn't want to.

Holding him lightly she nodded in agreement but like him did not make a move for her clothing.

Clopin sighed and slowly got off of her slowly slipping his soft cock from her tight dripping pussy. He picked up his tunic and put it on before grabbing his hose.

Nadya Propped herself up on her elbows watching him for a moment as he dressed. She did not want him to leave her. She pushed herself up as well and wrapped her arms around his neck pressing her naked form to his and whispered softly into his ear. "I think I'm falling in love with you....." She pulled away and gathered her dress pausing a moment to look back to him.

"Don't say that." Clopin said quietly as he continued dressing.

"Why not... You're my husband...." Nadya pulled her clothing on before she turned back to him. "Am I not supose to love you?"

"Only if you really did." Clopin said. "You don't know me... how can you say you love a man you don't know?"

"That is why I said I think I'm falling in love with you..." She whispered softly to him as she moved toward him. "Would you rather me hate you?"

Clopin sighed. "I don't know..." He said honestly. "It's what I expected."

Nadya stepped right up infront of him looking down she closed her eyes and pressed her forehead to his chin and let her hands rest upon his shoulders. "I wanted to keep hating you but .... somethings changed....." She whispered softly.

"That was fast." He said. "Anyway we had best be getting out of here before a guard shows up or something."

"right" She said with a nod and moved to the door of the cart opening it slightly to look out making sure it was clear before she would step out.

"There she is! Arrest her!"

Nadya came face to face with a guard. She tried to draw back into the cart but the guard grabed hold of her wrist pulling her out of the cart. "OW! CLOPIN!" She yelped in surprise.

"You're both under arrest for public indecency." The guard said. Clopin came flying out of the cart in a blur of colour. His hat flew off his head as he jumped onto the guard holding her.

"Run Nadya!" He yelled. The guard grabbed onto Clopin and flipped him over throwing him hard to the ground dazing him.

"You think you're funny Gypsy?" He asked. The guard brought his foot up and slammed it down crushing Clopin's hand. Nadya flinched at the loud crack sound that was almost drowned out by Clopin's cry of pain.

She looked on in shock and moved to try helping her husband, She stopped as two more guards were running their direction. Heeding his order she grabbed his hat and ran. She could hear one of the guards chasing her. She did not look back she kept running. Nadya had no clue where she was going.

---

"What happened to him?" Methalius asked. A gypsy came running up to him and Nadya.

"They are keeping at the palace of justice for now. He's to be publicly whipped and thrown in the stocks for three days as punishment for his crime."

Nadya Stood as the gypsy told them the news and walked from them. She didn't want to be seen, she felt so stupid. she should have never let him talk her into staying in the cart. Maybe she should have never pushed to try pleasing him until they were safely in their own tent.

"Oh this is all my fault!" She said angrily. Despite not wanting to be there she wanted information. Going back to Methalius she heard the gist of what she needed.

"-going to be tomorrow afternoon in the city square."

"With any luck the arch deacon will put a stop to it."

"Not likely. Frollo didn't allow it last time remember? And his crime was even more petty then Clopin's."

"Is there anything we can do...." She asked the two men.

Methalius sighed and shook his head. "No..."

Nadya rubbed her arm keeping her eyes cast to the ground. "Then what do we do?"

"We do the only thing we can do." He said. "We support him when we can and take care of him when he gets free."

Nadya shook her head. "This is all my fault..."

"It is not your fault." He said looking down to Clopin's hat in her hands. "He will be grateful to you though... that you saved his hat." He laughed knowing how his nephew was about the thing.

She gave a weak laugh then looked to the hat as well. "I couldn't help him I guess I say this as the only way I could....."

"You did what you could my dear." He said. "Believe me Clopin has bounced back from worse than this." He said.

Nadya leaned against him for comfort. "I hope so... I'm not off to a good start with being his wife..."

Methalius laughed. "Well knowing Clopin's pride as I do. I think he'd rather go through this than be saved by his wife." He laughed.

-----------

Nadya made her way through the crowd of people on the stage she could make out her husband as he was lead onto the stage.

Clopin was pushed to his knees, shirtless. He was already bleeding from a good beating she could tell and his hand looked...

Nadya watched as he his wrists where tied over his head. He didn't even cry out at the pain in his wrist anymore.

Looking around she saw several other Gypsies watching none seemed too pleased that this was happening to their king. Nadya closed hr eyes not sure she even wanted to stay here... She would have left but as she turned she found Clopin's uncle standing behind her.

"He'll be glad you came." Methalius said to her.

"Why? So I will have to watch him be whipped?" She asked then the sound of the first lash sent an unpleasent shill down her spine.

"No." He said equally unhappy. "But he'll like the support."

Finally the last crack of the whip fell upon his back. Blood had been splattered from each painfull snap. She stood there waiting for the croud to start to clear.

Clopin was quickly untied and he fell to the ground. Even the strongest of men can be felled from twenty lashes. They picked him up and quickly locked him in the stocks.

As the evening crept in people vanished into their homes leaving only a few wandering the streets. Nadya was one of them slowly she made her way toward her husband. "Clopin...." She whispered softly as she made sure to keep an eye out for guards.

He looked up at her slowly but didn't say anything. His throat was to dry to even speak.

Kneeling infront of him she reached out to touch his cheek. "I'm sorry Clopin...... I'm so Sorry...."

"It's not your fault." He said his voice raspy.

Nadya looked him over a moment and without a word she stood and left him in the clearing alone.

Clopin watched her leave hurt that that was all she had to say to him. He looked to the ground not having the energy nor the ability to do much else.

After a short while she had returned. He looked like a sad sorry lump. She knelt back infront of him reaching out to cup his chin. in her other hand she held someones water laddel. "Drink...I have a bit of bread... You need to keep your energy up.." Nadya whispered softly.

Clopin took the water but wound up coughing when he tried swallowing it.

Nadya pulled the light cloak from her shoulders and dipped the corner of it into the water then offered it to him this way.

They stayed there for what seemed like eternity to Clopin. Her giving him water every few moments or a piece of bread once he was able.

"Thank you." He said to her once the bread was gone. His throat was still soar but not dry.

Nodding she would stay with him a while longer. Neither of them spoke. Shivering as the night air had become cool she looked to her husband and then to the cloak that rest in her lap. Nadya stood shaking it our and carefully laid it over his back being mindful of the gashes.

"I should go..... I will be back tomorrow with a bit more food and water for you... " She caressed his cheek lightly then kissed his lips.

Clopin hissed quietly as the material hit the gashes. "Thank you." He said once again. "Be careful if you do. I don't want you getting arrested. They are still after you."

"I will... I'll come at night...." She rubbed her arms to warm herself as she stood and turned away moving through the shadows to reach their safe haven
