"Hellfire"...Closed thread

[cgraven]

Why? Your Highness I am ill suited to this mission. You yourself said that anyone sent must speak flawless French and I don't. On top of that Paris is where Byron was sent, if he sees me there he'll know Paul must be about somewhere and start sniffing about in possibly dangerous ways. My presence would endanger my husband much more than it could possibly help him Highness."

There was a soft pleading in Alex’s voice her knuckles where white with her death grip on the arms of the chair. The prince calmly observed her reaction to being told to go to France. Again a deep crimson blush colored her pale cheeks, she demurely lowered her eyes, and the Prince knew that Alex had not told him everything, that there was some unspoken reason for her redisence to go.

“Alex what you say may be true, but I have reason to believe that there is a double agent or traitor abroad in France and I need to let Paul Know. His life at this very moment may be in the gravest danger my dear.”

The Prince regent paused and he could see how his words had hit Alex as if they where a physical blow.

“Though Delery is a most capable and resourceful chap he needs to know the danger he is in. If you feel incapable to carry out this mission then please tell me who I should send in your stead.”

There it was either Alex would have to go or she would have to send another in her stead. The Prince ran his hand through his hair and continued.

“Alex then I’ll need you to go to the Hellfire club and recruit the men we have spoken of. They must think that Delery is recruiting them and must not know of my involvement the choice is yours.”

 

[caela]

“Alex what you say may be true, but I have reason to believe that there is a double agent or traitor abroad in France and I need to let Paul Know. His life at this very moment may be in the gravest danger my dear.”

A traitor? Paul in danger? Nearly everything else the Prince said after that she simply didn't hear. Her brain froze at the very idea that someone could betray Paul. Pure fury pushed away her fear at the very thought and her fingers curled at her sides as if seeking the throat of anyone that would dare to harm her husband. She wouldn't have it!

Still, how to get around the fact that she was highly recognizable? And how did she let Paul know she was there once she reached Paris?

Alex then I’ll need you to go to the Hellfire club and recruit the men we have spoken of. They must think that Delery is recruiting them and must not know of my involvement the choice is yours.”

It was the word "hellfire" that drew her attention back to the Prince.

"I'll go to Paris to warn Paul your Highness. While there I can discuss the recruiting of the men with him if you wish. I'm not sure what name he uses at Hellfire though, Geoffrey but I doubt it's Delerey. All of society thinks he's little more than a fop who plays the flatterer very well to stay in the Regent's good graces."

Folding back into a chair once more she still stared out the window and despite the way the gown she wore revealed her figure, she looked much like a lost little girl. She was in way over her head and she knew it.

"How am I to find Paul in Paris? How do I avoid Byron? And most importantly how do I keep Byron from finding Paul if the bastard does see me? I don't have a damned idea what it is I'm doing Geoffrey but for Paul, I'd walk through hell so please give me my instructions and I'll go make ready."

 

[cgraven]

"I'll go to Paris to warn Paul your Highness.”

With that simple decision made Alex seemed to collapse in the chair, her mind made up if not convinced that she was in fact the right person for this mission.

"How am I to find Paul in Paris? How do I avoid Byron? And most importantly how do I keep Byron from finding Paul if the bastard does see me? A hundred questions a thousand doubts and each the prince Regent passed off as if they where nothing that she could not overcome. Again she was given the simple instructions.

“Go to Paris and take a room at the La Petite Chate, Number 12. No other room just room 12. Paul will get in touch with you.”


<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And so it was that Alexandra Smyth found herself standing on the quay at Calais with Miss Susie Thompson as her maid. The country was a far cry from the France of the past. Hunger was seen in all and fear gaunt eyes stared back at the two English women. Paris lays another two days travel at the best five at the worst.

“Papier Mademoiselle “

Came the spark command form the Guard National sentry. Alex had arrived in the lion’s den.

 

[caela]

“Papier Mademoiselle “

The command startled her and for a moment she was confused but Susie wasn't and the other woman turned instantly to pull their papers from one of Alex' bags. Handing the papers to Alex, who gave the other woman a grateful smile and silently promised to buy her anything she needed, she gave the papers to the Sentry.

It felt like he went through them a million times but finally he grudgingly handed them back to the woman after notating that everything was in order on them. Breathing a sigh of relief they moved away from the docks and Alex, through Susie, ordered them a carriage to take them to Paris.

Overall the trip was a boring one and little happened. Alex had brought more than enough money to handle the few small bribes that were needed and on their arrival to Paris the driver took them right to the door of the La Petite Chate for just a little extra money.

Inside she counted heavily on Susie and her excellant grasp of the French language to secure them room 12. It took time and once the owner of the hotel realized that they were intent on only taking room 12 the price of course increased but it wasn't as exorbitant as it could have been for which Alex was grateful.

In their room the women got settled and Alex sighed as she fell into a chair, "Damnit Susie I hate waiting games. I can't go outside where Paul might see me because Byron might see me as well. All I can do is hope that there's some sort of message system in place that will tell him someone had checked into room number 12."

Before they'd left she'd told Susie what was going on. She wouldn't ask the woman to walk blindly into danger. Alex didn't give her all the details, for instance Susie didn't know that Paul and Alex were married, but told her enough to be able to speak in relative freedom in front of her.

"You shouldn't be cooped up here though Susie. You speak nearly flawless french and you're unknown to Byron. Why don't you get out for a bit. Problems or not it's likely that Paris is still teeming with shops just waiting to relieve us of our money. One of us should get to have some fun while we're here," the last was said with a smile as she slipped a money purse into Susie's hand and wouldn't hear it when the woman tried to give it back.

 

[cgraven]

The coach was crowded, the roads dusty and thronged with people fleeing from Paris and the city. Vagabonds dressed as counts, whores as Grand Dames the world was truly turned upside down. Paris was no better the great Cathedral of Notre Dame now made into a brothel whores taken on the high alter. This is the world that Alex and Susie arrived in.

The La Petite Chate was a modest little hotel on the left bank the owner wore the old tattered uniform of the regiment Long Duc, a grizzled old man with half his scalp missing. He turned a jaundice and lecherous eye on Alex, as she demanded Chamber 12 . He smiled his yellow teeth beam as he handed her the key and licked his lips.

“Madame.”

Four days went by and there was no sign of Paul, no word from anyone Alex had wanted to take her meals in her room but Monsieur Batard refused to let her do so unless he could join her for a Late night Supper as he put it in his broken English. Alex’s beauty always seemed to dra2w the most unwanted attention at these meals and one night a rather drunken Officer of the Guard National seemed to take particular interest in her. He was despicable and slovenly in his appearance as he joked and prodded his companions making the most lewd gestures in Alex’s direction.

Alex had just retired to her room when She heard the turn of the Key in the Door, Susie was out, She turned calling the calls name and was greeted by the sight of Batard standing their with the French Officer who tossed the landlord a small purse of coils then Batard backed out grinning and the finality of the door being locked filled the small room.

 

[caela]

Alex hated Paris. Or rather she hated the cesspool it had become. She had no doubt that not long ago the grand city had been as lively and at least semi ordered as London but now it was ruled by the mob and that rule showed in the faces of everyone that passed. Most of her time she spent in her room tucked safely out of sight and sound of everyone except Susie. Susie now and then went out to pick up the few items that they needed but even she didn't enjoy Paris now.

To pass the time Susie would tell Alex stories of the way Paris had been before. She'd been here often with the family that used to employ her and had known all the best shops to get the latest gossip and see the latest fashions. It was clear she'd loved the city and was saddened by it's downfall.

Dinner was the worst. The proprietor of the hotel refused to allow her to take supper in her room unless she agreed to allow him to come up afterward. If she hadn't let Caroline into her bed she sure as hell wasn't going to let this foul little man! Her distaste at the suggestion had shown and she could tell the man was angered by her rejection but she was paying him in good coin and in a city that had gone mad you didn't turn down a paying customer.

She wished later that she'd remembered that and sent Susie to buy food for them instead of eating downstairs with the other guests of the hotel.

On the fourth night Susie slipped away having seen an old aquaintance and asking permission to be gone for the night. Alex couldn't see any reason to keep and had given her blessing, telling Susie to enjoy herself and to please be back before supper the next day so she wouldn't be forced to eat in the dining hall alone. Seeing the smile that Susie's face when she'd said yes was enough to make it worthwhile to Alex.

Until she heard a key in her door. She was dressed for bed already in a long flowing nightgown that was semisheer and when she stood in the light just so the outline of her body was evident beneath the material. She bought it thinking of Paul.

Seeing the large french Officer just inside her doorway her eyes narrowed and without thought she grabbed the ewer of water from the bedside table, more than ready to break it over his head.

"Get the hell out of my room you drunken sot!" she hissed sharply.

 

[cgraven]

The vision of the young flaxen haired beauty dressed for bed already in a long flowing nightgown that was semisheer and when she stood in the light just so the outline of her body was evident beneath the material.

"Get the hell out of my room you drunken sot!"

Those flashing emerald eyes the fire in them as the ravishing beauty held the corky weapon ready to strike in defense of her honor only seemed to amuse the Guard National Officer. He insolently wiped the back of his hand across his unshaven face his dark eyes seeming to take in ever subtitle sensual curve of Alex has seductively silhouetted form. He was a big man apparently drunk a clod of a country boy and when his hand lashed out quick as lightening catching Alex’s wrist, her weapon useless his other arm snaking around her trim waist to crush her body to his. The crash of the water ewer on the floor her scream and the laughter of the landlord as his foot steps where heard retreating down the hall.

The nightgown ripped open as Alex clawed her way out of her unwanted lover’s arms her firm breast bared to him her chest rising and falling with the effort and the resounding slap of her hand on the Officer’s cheek. Alex found her wrist captured in his hands held behind her back as his eyes danced with merriment.

“Now is that any way for a wife to treat her husband?”

Delery whispered in Alex’s ear.

 

[caela]

“Now is that any way for a wife to treat her husband?”

Alex eyes widened at the whisper in her ear as she murmured softly, "Paul?"

Without thought to his grip on her wrists she spun quickly and he released her as she threw her arms around his neck and pressed dozens of tiny kisses to his bearded face. How she'd missed him! She clung to him tightly, no longer caring that he was dirty or smelled of liquor, only caring that he was here with her.

Finally releasing him she stepped back and took in the sight of him. The was neither her red savage or the fop he played so well but another face of the man she loved. The beard was interesting and didn't look bad on him but she found she prefred him clean shaven. Still in a city in as bad of shape as Paris was the beard allowed him to hide his features which she suspected was the point.

"This whole thing with you leaving me at home to worry about...it just didn't work for me darling," she said with a grin. She might be here on the Prince's business but she was happy to see Paul at last and couldn't resist teasing him. "And if you ever leave again with just a note instead of waking me up to say goodbye you'll find out just how difficult an angry wife can be."

Just looking at him she wanted to leap at him and push him back into the bed he was standing so close to but she knew there was business to attend to as well and she grew more serious.

"The Prince suspects a traitor or a double agent is at work here, love. He sent me to warn you of the increased danger. He also wants us to work how to recruit the men from the Hellfire club that we agreed might be trustworthy and able for this particular line of work."

 

[cgraven]

"The Prince suspects a traitor or a double agent is at work here, love. He sent me to warn you of the increased danger. He also wants us to work how to recruit the men from the Hellfire club that we agreed might be trustworthy and able for this particular line of work."

The light in Alex’s eyes as she realized who it was that was crushing her to him the way she threw her arms around Delery’s neck and bathed his face with those loving kisses thrilled him. The stern look in her blazing emerald eyes as she admonished Delery for leaving and not waking her. God how he loved his little fire brand.

“The traitor, at least one is Byron of Essex who offered to ferret out French Aristocrats for the Government for a price, and I am sure he would not be above slipping a French agent into England if the price was worth his time and effort.”

Paul paused for a moment his wife enveloped in his arms her shimmering emerald eyes intend with her concentration her smooth brow slightly wrinkled.

“Yet Bryon does not appear to me to be ingénues enough to recruit or carry off the role of traitor, he is merely an opportunist. and the first Minister Rose Perrier does not trust him.”

Delery did not explain how he had such intimate knowledge of Rose Perrier’s feelings.

“As for the matter of recruiting agents from the Hellfire club my dear Alex that I fear is not my problem for my mission holds me here in France.”

Delery gave Alex’s firm derrière a sharp slap and she screamed in surprise at it. He quickly kissed her and whispered in her ear.

“After all I just bribed the Landlord to let me ravish my you Alex and It should at least sound good for him.”

There was a devilish gleam in his eyes.

 

[caela]

“After all I just bribed the Landlord to let me ravish my you Alex and It should at least sound good for him.”

Alex eyes flashed wide with mirth and it took all her control not to burst out laughing at the devilish glint in Paul's eyes. Leaning up she kissed him softly, her lips lingering on his for a long moment before she murmured, "You Paul Delery are a bad, bad man."

Taking his hand she pulled him toward the bed and gently nudged him until he fell back to sit on it. Without a word she slowly began to undress him, his clothes falling into a pile beside her feet. By the time she was done she was kneeling quietly between his legs her eyes flashing heat and longing up to him while her fingertips brushed lightly up and down his inner thighs.

"Besides, I am more interested in pleasing my husband than in giving the landlord something to listen to."

 

[cgraven]

"You Paul Delery are a bad, bad man."

There was an impish glint in Alex’s eyes, her voice soft and sensual as he pushed Delery back on to the bed her delicate fingers eagerly stripping away the soiled uniform that he wore. Alex’s eyes where blazing with her desire for this man of many faces that she called husband.

"Besides, I am more interested in pleasing my husband than in giving the landlord something to listen to."

“Ah perhaps a bit of both would be in order Alex.”

Delery smiled down as she knelt between his thighs her fingers leaving fire in their wake. Her flaxen head bowed an impish smile of the young beauty’s lips as the tip of her pink tongue darted out to caress Delery and her full ripe lips sensually “O”ed.
Paul Delery stopped his young headstrong beauty Drew her to her feet to stand before him he eased the tattered remains of her night gown from her shoulders.
Slowly he drew Alex down to the bed and had the ravishing young flaxen haired beauty straddle him her ripe lips now hovering over his manhood and her sweet shaven pussy above his hungering mouth. As Alex’s head bent once more to please him with her mouth Delery’s tongue snaked out to taste her once again his tongue sensually licking her quivering pussy.

 

[caela]

Alex whimpered softly when Paul drew her upright. She'd been eager to have him in her mouth but she followed his lead making it easy for him to remove the nightgown and giggling softly when she straddled his head. It was something that wouldn't have occured to her on her own!

She felt his tongue sweep out across her flesh and purred low in her throat, her hips tiliting and knees spreading further giving him full access to her body while her head tipped down and her lips parted to draw just the head of his cock between full, ripe lips. Gently she suckled on just the first part of his shaft, letting the need and anticipation build in both of them.

 

[cgraven]

She felt his tongue sweep out across her flesh and purred low in her throat, her hips tilting and knees spreading further giving him full access to her body while her head tipped down and her lips parted to draw just the head of his cock between full, ripe lips.

There was something very basic very sensual in the low ferial moan that escaped Alex’s lips as she took Delery into her mouth. This new sexual experience seemed to lose something in the ravishing young beauty, something that pleased Paul. He feasted on his young lover brought her to the edge of the most forbidden pleasure she had ever experienced. When Alex was almost mad with the pleasure that Delery mouth and tongue promised her he drove her over the edge of that abyss. Till she collapsed on him her body quivering in the aftermath of her orgasms, his seeming from the corner of her mouth.

“Alex you will be in danger as long as you are in France. If you fall into the hands of this regime I may have to do things to you that will be very unpleasant unless you can embrace the darkest side of pleasure.”

He paused gathering Alex into his arms. He kissed her forehead and waited for her to respond.

 

[caela]

“Alex you will be in danger as long as you are in France. If you fall into the hands of this regime I may have to do things to you that will be very unpleasant unless you can embrace the darkest side of pleasure.”

Alex curled against Paul's chest, her tongue still sweeping out in little kittenish licks to gather the last of his pleasure from her lips while she nuzzled his chest with her cheek.

"I didn't think you were going to be here that long. I didn't really plan to stay myself darling. I've kept myself shut up here to keep Byron from seeing me. If he finds out I'm here he'll start looking for you and won't be satisfied until he finds you. "

Reaching up her fingers traced the line of his jaw as if memorizing his features, "I put you in danger just by being here love. I've done what the Prince sent me to do, give you warning of a traitor. If you agree I'll leave in two days."

 

[cgraven]

Reaching up her fingers traced the line of his jaw as if memorizing his features,

"I put you in danger just by being here love. I've done what the Prince sent me to do, give you warning of a traitor. If you agree I'll leave in two days."

The soft touch of Alex’s fingers on his face the lost sad little girl looks in her soft eyes. The moment was bitter sweet for the hapless lovers. The realities of this hell that had descended on Europe seemed to be tearing them apart. How could the happiness of two people count against the hundreds that now where in danger?

“Alex you must leave by tomorrow afternoon. There is no place that is safe for you in France. If the landlord would sell you to me then he would sell you to anyone that had his price.”

Delery paused and then he kissed Alex with all the passion that raged through him for her.

“I can stay until morning and see you safe away but you must leave in two days it may be to late.”

 

[caela]

“I can stay until morning and see you safe away but you must leave in two days it may be to late.”

Alex clung to Paul, tears shining in her eyes. "I hate this. I want you home, safe, with me but I know you can't be. I know this is where you have to be. Susie may not be back until late afternoon tomorrow though Paul. I gave her leave to spend the day with an old friend she knows from working with the Devon's."

She didn't know what to do. She couldn't leave without Susie, it would look suspicious and would attract undo attention.

"I'll give you money before you leave in the morning. Pay the landlord for tomorrow night as well love and we'll leave the following morning. I won't leave the room except for dinner which is my normal pattern here anyway so it won't look strange."

Glancing up at him she bit her lower lip and worried it gently knowing she needed to tell him about Caroline as well and thinking she wouldn't get a better chance. "There's something else I need to tell you as well my love," she said quietly and so told him about Caroline, the kiss and what the Princess had both said and implied. She also described the daydress Caroline had given her to wear before the Prince when he'd asked for her list of possible female spies.

 

[cgraven]

Alex clung to Paul, tears shining in her eyes.

"I hate this. I want you home, safe………….. I won't leave the room except for dinner which is my normal pattern here anyway so it won't look strange…………………”

Alex’s words trickled over her lips, her voice was soft as she clung to Delery as if that physical contact would make all right and erase the hell they where both now emerged in. She knew as well as he did that they must part or they would both be in increased danger a threat to each other no matter what they wished. Alex drew a deep shuttering breath. Glancing up at him she bit her lower lip and worried it

"There's something else I need to tell you as well my love,"

She said quietly and so told him about Caroline, the kiss and what the Princess had both said and implied. She also described the day dress Caroline had given her to wear before the Prince. Delery wanted to smile when he saw how Alex blushed as she recalled the incident with the princess, and he could feel her heart begin to race. He could tell that his little dove had been aroused by the encounter. What Delery knew but Alex did not was that both Royals where members of the Hellfire Club, and their envelopment was a closely Guarded secret.

“Alex we are both servants of the crown and our wishes must be second to the demands of sate.”

He paused as he let his words sink in, for he knew that the Prince Regent had, had his eye on Alex ever sense that night he had found her passed out in her Father’s garden and he and the Princess Royal had loosen the innocent young beauty’s bodice to feast their eyes on her virginal breasts. Delery also knew Bryon had been exiled to France for wishing to pluck the tasty morsel that the Royals desired as their own. His part in the farce had been to seduce Alex, wed her so that no scandal would touch them when they claimed the prize they desired.

“Alex you must leave by noon with or without Susie.”

Delery had done his duty what he had not counted on was falling in Love with Alex.

 

[caela]

“Alex we are both servants of the crown and our wishes must be second to the demands of sate.”

Alex was startled by Paul's words and looked up into his face her eyes wide and questioning. Did he mean what she thought he meant? Did he mean she should respond favorably to the advances of the Royal couple? They were a handsome pair there was no doubt of that and she wouldn't deny that Caroline had sparked her arrousal...but Paul was her husband and Alex saw no hardship in being a faithful wife. She'd never thought that she wouldn't look at other men from time to time - or expected Paul not to look at other women - but when she'd given her vows she'd certainly never thought to touch any man but Paul.

She was still trying to sort out what he'd meant when he spoke again, “Alex you must leave by noon with or without Susie.”

With uncertainty glowing in her eyes she whispered softly, "I'll leave whenever you tell me the arrangements are made. I can leave a note and money for Susie to follow. Paul...did you mean...when you said we were servants of the State...did you mean what it sounded like you meant?"

 

[cgraven]

With uncertainty glowing in her eyes she whispered softly,

"I'll leave whenever you tell me the arrangements are made. I can leave a note and money for Susie to follow. Paul...did you mean...when you said we were servants of the State...did you mean what it sounded like you meant?"

Delery was saved from answering Alex as all hell broke lose in the hall and Susie could be heard screaming at the landlord who had taken the price of Ale’s honor from the man he knew Only as and Officer of the Guard National. Alex and Paul only knew they had just a matter of moments before ther turmoil would reach them.

His lips brush Alex’s in a tender kiss as he pulls on the guise of the French Officer again and her naked on the bed as he pulled on his clothes Delery was just dawning his Jacket as Susie burst in the door running to her mistress.

“I look forward to sampling your charms again Madame when the people’s revolution sweeps across the channel to your England.!”

With that simple taunting phrase Delery let Alex know what was really in the balance, England and all she knew and held dear was at stake. Delery spun on his heel and they both knew it was time for Alex to leave France and return to England and the Royals.

 

[caela]

Delery was just dawning his Jacket as Susie burst in the door running to her mistress.

“I look forward to sampling your charms again Madame when the people’s revolution sweeps across the channel to your England.!”

Alex watched him leave while Susie grabbed her a robe and placed it around her shoulders. All the while the other woman glared daggers at Paul's back and at the landlord who stood leering in the doorway. Feeling bereft without Paul's prescence and knowing from his statement what was at stake she simply burst into tears. Susie remained quiet and tried to sooth Alex as best she could but Alex wouldn't be consoled and cried until she fell asleep.

Susie thought nothing of it when Alex woke early the next morning and told her to go settle their bill and arrange transportation for them. They were going back to England as quickly as they could. Taking the money Susie went down and paid the proprietor what he was owed, though she truly wanted to claw his eyes out, and made the arrangements necessary to get them home.

Before the noon bell had rung for lunch they were in a coach and on their way to Calais and from there home. Through the long ride Alex said nothing and Susie didn't try to force her to knowing she'd speak when she was ready and thinking she was holding up remarkably well for a woman who'd been raped by that brute of a french officer.

Alex though to disabuse Susie of the notion of her having been raped but chose not to. No doubt the story would spread like wildfire through the servants - and thus to their Masters and Mistresses - and would only serve to increase their sympathy for the Mistress who had sought only to rejoin her Benefactor.

 

[cgraven]

The two women fled back across France to the coast and the Pas De Calais, The channel ports where swarming with English and French aristocrats trying to flee the madness. Thought it had been Delery that had come to Alex at Chamber Number 12 it just as well could have been another who could have bought her for the evening. The Royals had to be warned that any agent that was sent to France would not be protected by the fact that they where English. It seemed all the old values of the Kings and Queens of Europe had been swept away by the madness that was now France a madness if rumors where to be, believed, where now spreading to Belgium and the German electorates. There was no doubt that sooner or later the monarchies of Europe and England would have to fight France. It was this cold inescapable fact that gnawed at Alex as she crossed the channel from Calais to Dover and the letter she bore form Delery to the Prince Regent held his evaluation of the mood in France and in Europe. Alex would have to go directly to Windsor and the couple that lusted after her supple young body, the couple that would have to lead England in her darkest hour.

 

[caela]

Alex didn't think she had ever felt such relief as when she stepped back onto her native soil. England. Home. Relative safety. Here her worst problem was a couple that seemed to wish to use her as a plaything for their enjoyment. Something her husband had given his tacit approval for. There were much worse things than having a Royal couple wish for your company in their bedchamber...she'd learned that firsthand in France in the moment before the french officer had revealed himself as her husband.

Back in England she began to speak once more which gratified Susie. The other woman still worried over Alex but once she started speaking again she no longer hovered like a mother hen.

It was no surprise that Alex determined their first destination would be Windsor Castle. After all it was well known that she was intimate with the Royal pair as was her benefactor and that she should seek them after such a harsh trip only made sense. The gaurds at the gate recognized her - they were the same as those that had been posted the first day Delery had brought her here and weren't likely to forget her - and waved her coach through. Her appearance was disheveled from travel but at least time she would appear before the Royal couple fully clothed.

The thought made her smile slightly.

She was admitted to one of the studies to wait until the Geoffrey and Caroline were ready to see her.

 

[cgraven]

Alex was admitted to one of the studies to wait until the Geoffrey and Caroline were ready to see her.

The Royal couple came to Alex Caroline through her arms around the bedraggled beauty a and her lips brushed the ravishing young beauty’s cheek, her eyes where soft and sultry as the Princess broke the sisterly kiss.

“Are you all right Alex?”

There was true concern for the flaxen haired beauty as th Princess’s eyes held Alex’s. The Prince took Delery’s letter form Alex and carefully read it. His face darkened, and Delery’s wife could see the Princes anger rising as his knuckles turned white with anger. Alex could see hw her liege Lord was struggling to maintain his control.

“The House of Essex will pay dearly for this.”


Geoffrey questioned Alex at length about all she had seen and experienced on all that she had seen heard and suffered this interview was stretching into it second hour when Caroline softly asked.

“Geoffrey could this not wait till the morrow I fear Alex needs to bathe and have a bite to eat after her long and trying Journey.

The Prince nodded not trusting his voice. Caroline took Alex by the hand and led her from the study to her private chambers and shooed all the ladies in waiting and maids away. Then with a sensual little smile she stepped up to Alex her body so very close to the worn beauty’s/

My dear I shall be your maid

Without further ado the Princess Royal slowly began to strip Alex of her clothing and then let her own dressing gown slip from her shoulders till both young beauties stood there naked. Caroline led the ravishing young beauty to her bath and led her into the pool of warm water, for Caroline’s bath was not a tub but in the fashion of a roman bath. Picking up a sponge the Princess began to wash Alex in a most sensual and arousing manner.

 

[caela]

Alex was startled when Geoffrey and Caroline came to her instead of having her brought to them. One of the perks of being Royal was that you never had to go to anyone. That they chose to come to her touched her almost as much as the warm hug and the sisterly kiss Caroline gave her.

“Are you all right Alex?”

Managing a small smile Alex nodded, "I will be Caroline. Nothing happened that a few days to give my mind time to assimiliate it all won't cure."

Reaching to her friend she gave Caroline's hand a gentle squeeze in thanks for her concern before turning her gaze to the Prince and seeing the thunderclouds forming on his brow. His anger was obvious and she wasn't surprised at the long interview or his frustration with how little she could tell him. She had pondered not mentioning that the hotel owner had been more than willing to sell a night of his English guests company to anyone with enough money to pay for it but in the end she told the Royal pair even that humiliating fact because it spoke so heavily to the state of mind in Paris.

It was the most telling point in how unsafe France had become and how little being English would protect anyone there.

“Geoffrey could this not wait till the morrow I fear Alex needs to bathe and have a bite to eat after her long and trying Journey.

Alex could have kissed her friend then. The longer the interview had drawn out the more Alex had realized how weary she was. All she truly wanted was a bath and sleep, even food could wait, her weary body just wanted rest. Happily she followed where Caroline led and was once more surprised by the Princess when she led her to her own chambers and undressed her, herself.

Alex didn't bother to protect when Caroline too slid out of her clothes and led her to the bath. Alex thought the warm water licking her skin was heaven and sank gratefully into it with a soft weary sigh. She wasn't at all surprised when Caroline began washing her with soft gentle caresses of the washcloth and she merely smiled gently and relaxed against her friend, her voice light and teasing, "Why Caroline, I get the impression that you are trying to take advantage of me."

Alex wasn't at all surprised when Caroline began washing her with soft gentle caresses of the washcloth and she merely smiled gently and relaxed against her friend, her voice light and teasing.

The princess smiled as The ravishing young beauty relaxed her supple young body so firm so inviting as she rested against the Princess. That soapy rough wash cloth caressing Alex’s soft silken skin.

"Why Caroline, I get the impression that you are trying to take advantage of me."

“Would that be so bad Alex?”


Caroline knew that Alex was very vulnerable at this moment and she had no intention of letting the stunning young beauty slip through her fingers again. The Princes had been waiting to have her like this ever sense that night she and Geoffrey and come across her in her father’s garden. The terry washcloth now caressed Alex’s breasts, the odd sensually seductive of the slick soap, gliding the rough cloth across Alex’s rose bud nipples till they are taunt and throbbing and then the cloth slid sensually down the stunning young beauty’s belly to now caress her naked shaven pussy. The Princess royal began to seduce the young ravishing beauty’s body.
