Odette had just been about to pull back when suddenly John was leaning down towards her. Was he fainting? How was she going to hold him up? She wasn't strong enough for that. Though the thoughts flew from her mind the moment his lips collided with hers and her entire body froze. It was unlike anything she had ever felt before. At first she didn't know how to respond...but within moments, her body responded on it's own. Her fingers gripped his shoulders as she began to kiss him back. She could feel her body shiver and Odette stood on her tip toes, her arms wrapping around his neck. Though her body trembled and she lost strength in her legs causing her to stumble back. Her legs caught the edge of the bed, causing her to fall back and she pulled John down right on top of her. The robe had come untied, the silky fabric slowly slipping from her form and leaving her helpless beneath him.

John moaned as Odette responded, all rational thinking had escaped him and in that moment he was acting on pure instinct alone. He smiled into the kiss as Odette landed back against the bed, making no move to stop him. He would have stopped immediately if he had picked up on anything. The moment her robe fell back, his hands slid up and massaged her breasts. The feeling of them under his fingertips making him more eager. He pulled back from the heated kiss and instead turned his attention to one of her beautiful breasts. His mouth latched onto one and he licked and sucked on it eagerly, while his other hand played with her other. "Gods you're beautiful." He groaned into her skin, loving the taste of her. His hips pressed against her, so his fully clothed member was right against her entrance. He failed to notice the door opening, nor did he think he could have stopped himself anyway. Let the whole kingdom hear, he thought rather wickedly. A selfish part of him wanted people to know that she was his...and he had no intention of letting anyone else touch her like this again. After having had a taste, he knew he'd never be able to stop fantasizing about her.

Odette gasped as she felt fingertips on her breast and her whole body ignited with a need. It was like she wasn't even in control of herself. All common sense was gone and all she wanted was to forget. Goosebumps spread across her skin the moment she felt his lips suck at her breast and her body arched into him. "John.." His bulge pressed against her area and a needy moan flew past her lips. Odette glanced over his shoulder and her whole body tensed at who she saw. It was Phoebus. Why was he here? Had he come to check on her? John's fingers pinched her nipple causing her to make a sound of delight before she came to her senses. Her hands pressed against her brother's shoulders as she tried to get him off of her, her heart pounding in her ears. "Ph-Phoebus, what-" Before she could even warn John, Phoebus had made his way across the room and grabbed John's shoulders. He flung her brother off of her and immediately drew his sword. "Phoebus no!" She cried and she tried to stop him but he silenced her, shoving her back onto the bed before he faced John again. "How dare you threaten me and try to claim her for yourself! What kind of man are you!" Phoebus growled.

John smiled into Odette's skin as said his name in that tone, and then moaned. He dimly wondered why he hadn't done this before...he had been stupid. It was only then he registered Odette saying something and then he was pulled away from her. He stumbled a few steps and then swung his head up to glare at Phoebus. His eyes narrowed as Phoebus had the gall to shove Odette back. "A true man doesn't push women around....especially the Princess." He growled in a dangerous tone, his hand resting on his sword. He'd draw it in an instant if he had too, "I'm far more of a man then you...for acting as such." He stated firmly, refusing to back down. Phoebus was out of line for intruding on such a private moment, he sighed and unclasped his cloak. "Now if you'll excuse me." He said and moved to cover Odette's bare form, keeping his eyes carefully averted. His whole form was taut, if Phoebus so much as tried interfering he'd remind him who was in charge.

Odette shrieked as Phoebus shoved her back onto the bed, her hands shaking as she tried to close the robe around her body. Phoebus had seen her naked but John didn't know that yet...but why had she willingly been naked before her brother? What on earth was going on in her mind to let something like this happen? Phoebus narrowed his gaze at John's words. "A man would not take advantage of his own sister in a time of distress like this." He growled, his gaze never leaving the prince as he moved and covered Odette in a cloak. Odette didn't even know what to do...she hadn't planned this. Just based on Phoebus' reaction and the very fact that he was here at such a late hour, John would be suspicious of their relationship. "Phoebus...please, just leave." She begged but she immediately shut her mouth at the look he gave her. "I cannot stand by while your own brother molests you in this way! I cannot stand by and watch this happen to the woman I-" His words cut off as he saw her eyes widen and he realized what he had almost said. He had almost said that he loved her right in front of the prince. Their secret could be found out just on that alone.

John's eyes snapped over to Phoebus the moment he started speaking. "Ahh of course...the late night hour...you just had to come visit her yourself didn't you?" He demanded his eyes narrowing as he glared at Phoebus. "So how long have you two been together? Or did that only happen right after you found her? Because if you want to talk about taking advantage...well that sounds to me like taking advantage in spades." John said as he withdrew his own sword. "You have about as much right to do so as I do." He pointed out his expression grim. "I really don't want things to get messy...and I'm sure my darling sister doesn't either." He continued, his eyes briefly landing on her as he said as much. "Now sheathe your sword." He said each word leaving him as he took advancing steps.

Phoebus felt his stance waver as John seemed to realize what he had meant and he cursed under his breath. Odette bit her lip before she shot out of the bed. "We are not together. I told you, all he did was save me! Now please, stop this!" She begged, her voice shaking as she spoke. Of course she was lying. If John found out, he would have Phoebus' head. Phoebus frowned at Odette's words, knowing that she was lying to save him but for some reason it still hurt that she was denying it. He lowered his sword before sheathing it and glared at the prince. Odette took that as a chance to get Phoebus out. She slid between her brother and Phoebus again before she shoved on Phoebus' shoulder. "Get out now, I have had enough of this." She begged, using all of her strength until Phoebus was finally out of the room. Her hands clung to the door handle, her back still facing her brother as she scrambled for an excuse. They were alone again but now...she couldn't face him. He would have questions and now that they were both back to their senses, her mind kept replaying the feeling of him touching her skin in her mind. "I want you to leave too..." She whispered, keeping her back to her brother.

John watched Phoebus react to Odette's words and realized that he had been right. Whatever had happened between them had indeed been intimate, and Odette didn't want him to know about it. He watched as Odette all but pushed Phoebus out of the room, and lowered his sword. "I see....I'm sorry for earlier on. It won't happen again...you have my word." He said quietly as he sheathed his sword. He had been stupid to think for even one moment that Odette would ever have feelings for him. And he also knew that if he ever hurt her, he'd never forgive himself. He backed up and bowed to her, his expression difficult to read as he did so. "Good night." He said and headed towards the door, after all he was a gentleman and if she wanted to dismiss him he'd obey.

Odette couldn't help herself from glancing over her shoulder at her brother when he mentioned what they had done. It wouldn't happen again...something like that should make her feel better but this time, it didn't. The thought of him never touching her that way again almost saddened her. "John, wait..." She whispered and turned to look at him, her eyes shining with unshed tears once again. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way...Phoebus and I.." She looked away from him before she shook her head. "We were never intimate. All we've done is kiss. We both have feelings for each other but I know it can never be so please, don't punish him for what I wanted. And tonight..." Odette found herself taking a few steps towards him, her hand resting against his chest. "I just want to thank you. That was the first time I had been touched so gently by a man and I liked it." Her cheeks blushed at the admission before she took a step back and averted her gaze. "Now I really must get some rest...goodnight John." Odette pushed a strand of hair behind her ear before she turned her back to him and moved towards her closet to put on some pajamas.

John glanced down at Odette as she moved towards him and gently took her hand in his. "Please don't lie to me Odette...I saw that look in his eyes." He said eventually a sad smile on his face at her next words, "You should always be treated as such." He said softly and pressed a tender kiss on her palm before he watched her turn to leave. "Goodnight...Odette." He whispered before he turned and left.

Odette had been confined to her bedroom ever since the dinner but no matter what she begged, they would not let her out. John had been poisoned during the dinner that celebrated her homecoming. She could still see it perfectly in her mind...she screamed...cried...begged to stay with him but her mother would have nothing of it. Nowe she sat on her bed in her night dress, unsure of what to do with herself. Guards were posted just down the hall, how could she ever escape? She would just have to try. All these guards were worthlessy slow...she could outrun them. Odette grabbed her robe, flinging it around her shoulders before she quietly moved into the hallway. She glanced around the corner to see the guards facing the other way. Perfect. Odette ran down the corridor towards John's room, only stopping once she reached the door. Without waiting another moment, she stepped inside, gasping at the sight of her brother. Tears springed to her eyes as she ran to his side and fell on her knees beside him. "Oh John....I'm so sorry..."

John shifted in his bed, his entire body was outlined in sweat. His veins starkly stood out against his body and he seemed to be in extreme pain. "Your Highness...you really shouldn't be here." The court physician said as he moved to stand near Odette's side. His eyes full of sympathy for her, "He's in a critical condition, and we're still not sure what he was poisoned with. Until we know, he...he won't make it. I'm doing all I can but this poison is deadly...and moving fast." He said as he moved to rest another cool damp cloth against John's forehead. "You can stay with him for awhile but I must insist that you leave before the night is over. You need your rest as much as he does." He pointed out firmly.

Odette ignored the physician as she took her brother's hand in hers, placing a desperate kiss against the back of his hand. "I will not leave him...this happened to him because of me..." She whispers, tears falling down her cheeks. His skin was already pale and covered in sweat. She knew he wasn't going to last much longer. When the court physician said she would have to leave, she shook her head. "Please...I have to stay with him. I could never live with myself if he passed and I wasn't here." Odette sat in silence for a few moments before she looked over at the physician. "I will tend to him. Just do whatever you can to find out what he was poisoned with...please, I beg of you. I cannot lose my brother."

The Physician nodded, "He's a lucky man, your brother....to have family who care so deeply for him. If I might be so bold Milady...don't be so harsh on yourself. Being a King is dangerous and he knew the risks, as every King does." He said solemnly. With those words he started putting his instruments away, "If he starts getting feverish again, ring the bell pull. One of the servants will help assist you into getting him better, if he worsens send for me immediately. I'll be here for as long as I am needed." He said and then left leaving Odette alone with John. John shifted under the covers his body twitching due to some unknown phantom pain that ghosted through his entire body.

Odette sat with her brother for hours and after some time, she must have fallen asleep. She had pulled up a small chair earlier and now she was fast asleep, resting her head on John's chest and her hand still holding his as she slept. Her dreams kept returning to that dinner and it replayed in her mind over and over again. A shiver ran down her spine as she felt something cold against her skin and it gradually woke her up. Odette stifled a yawn as she sat up and stretched though she immediately froze when she saw John. He was paler than before and almost looked...dead. "John? John!" She shook him but her hands flew back the moment she touched his skin. He was like ice. His fever must have gotten worse after she dozed off. What was she supposed to do? "Please don't die on me John...please..." Odette heated up some more water, trying to get his temperature up but nothing was working. If she didn't do something soon, she was going to lose him. There was one last thing she could do...
Odette locked the door to her brother's room to make sure no one would walk in. She wanted to handle this on her own...she had to. After a few moments, she slowly undressed herself, only leaving on her bra and underwear. Then she removed the covers from John's body and gently stripped him down to his underwear. The only thing left she could think of was to lay with him and hope that it helped somehow. Once they were both ready, Odette swallowed as she climbed into the bed with him. Her body straddled over his and she laid on top of him, tugging the blankets over their bodies to hold in the heat. "Don't leave me..." Odette whispered before she leaned down and kissed John's lips. The feeling of his frozen skin against hers made her shiver but she rested her head against his chest. Within an hour or so, she had fallen asleep with her fingers weaved into her brothers as she held his hands in hers.
