Lessons in Disguise (closed)

[Caralel]

Crisp morning sunlight filtered through the many full-length windows of Princess Alisia’s bedroom chambers. Even with the dusty-rose colored curtains pulled closed over most, their sheer material painted a daybreak glow into the air of her private chambers. Three rooms adjoined together by ornate doors made up the floor plan, with the middle room being the one most seen by visitors. It had a corner designated for lounge chairs with a small fireplace, overshadowed by large green-plants and wall hangings. Another corner had some shelves with books and keepsake knickknacks. There was a large area rug taking up most of the floor with a soft vine design in colors of green, purple, and tan. Yet at the back of the room was the main focal point for this morning’s breakfast. The curtains of these bay windows had been opened for maximum light, revealing an outside balcony overlooking a field of green gardens. A small table was set for two with a hot breakfast of sausage, eggs, and oat muffins along with finger sliced cheese, grapes, and melon.

In the Dulany palace there was little-to-no activity this early in the day save for working maids and servants shuffling around quietly. It was so early that seeing the princess dressed in nothing but a fancy robe covering her delicate nightgown attire was normal. She took the time to brush her long hair and pin up the sides and lightly powder her face but anything else would have to wait until her handmaiden arrived. It hadn’t been the first time she has had company this early nor would it be the last, but it was the person himself and her subject in mind that made her feel nervous and uncomfortable. She had invited him the day before with the excuse that she wanted to go over one of his lessons just to make sure she understood correctly before the next scheduled class meeting. Alisia had done this before, being the attentive pupil, so nothing out of the ordinary here. But she had no one to blame but herself for the awkward truth in this secret matter she desired to discuss, which had nothing to do at all with any of his academic lessons for the palace students.

She paced the floor nervously, repeatedly going over a swarm of words and thoughts. Why was she doing this again? Was he the right person of choice? Did she have to do this? Was this going to turn out to be the biggest embarrassment of her life? If it did happen would it hurt?

Her blondish-brown hair was long enough that the wispy strands extended below the curves of her young breasts. With her mind in fervent thoughts she absently raised a hand to a portion and pulled it over her shoulder so that her fingers could twirl with the natural waves. Only when there was a slight knock to the door before opening to reveal the face of a servant did Alisia’s fingers stop and her hand dropped. Father always berated her for playing with her hair. The servant announced that he had arrived, and with a big breath taken she nodded her head and accepted his arrival into her little private portion of the grand palace. It wouldn’t have taken him long at all to get there, considering he also had a private chamber and private study room in the palace. He was responsible for the tutoring of the royal family along with other young lords and ladies in the kingdom, so it was only expected for his person to stay close to his working environment and for Alisia’s father to pay him well.

It was getting harder to move up the damn stairs

Alex Tiberius Renton Stone scowled running a hand through his short black hair. He saw some of the servants moving past him, their eyes downcast to avoid attracting his ire. Normally he was a fun and happy sort but this morning it was unwise to get in his way. He was not a morning person to begin with but when you added his leg hurting then he became even more of a grouch. Even though the castle was beautiful and warm and inviting Alex Stone was not this morning. Instead he was dark and stormy grumpy and a little put off by the long staircase leading to the tower that made up the princesses room. Her father had given her a whole suite to live in and play in adding it onto the ancient castle.

She was a little spoiled but it was expected when you were the king’s only daughter. She had a good head on her shoulders to so she never acted like a “princess” might have acted in a similar situation. She was a good pupil as well always eager to learn and grow and accept his tutelage. Of course she was some times to eager hence why he was up so early this fine morning. She had a question and asked to have breakfast with him first thing in the morning. This wasn’t uncommon but it meant Alex had to not only get up early but also climb the long staircase leading to her suite.

He was the royal instructor though

He started to make his way up using his black and silver cane to help him up. It was plain but it got the job done be it whacking a stray hand or helping him up a staircase. His leg was starting to hurt more and more now and he made a mental note to see the royal physician since he was up so early. Every since that damn fall back in his apprenticeship days he had lived with the ailment. He liked to tell Alisea that is was a reminder not to be a fool and to not do stupid things.

He reached the top of the staircase and turned looking at his reflection in the window frame. He had chosen to wear a simple black and red suit. He had aged considerably since that fall all those years ago but he liked to think he still looked good. His suit was tight against his frame showing off his muscular body that he worked hard to keep every day, his features may be aging but they were still handsome with defined cheek bones and other features, it was his eyes however that always did the most work they were electric green and sparkled with a stormy look he had never seen before.
He raised a hand to knock on the door but before he could the servant was opening it and gesturing for him to come in. He smiled and walked in waiting for her to make sure the princess was ready before she led him in. He was starting to wake up more and more now and the smell of her food was starting to make his stomach grumble and pant. For some one who was not a morning person Alex loved breakfast loved it to much he even had it for dinner when he could. He smiled realizing the princess had probably made a big spread just for him and his arrival. She was a kind soul like that and it was one of the things that couldn’t be taught and only nurtured.

He walked in his cane clicking against the rough stone floor. He saw her and smiled before setting his eyes on the food. He gave her a soft bow before he sat down and immediately started pulling plates towards him.

“You asked to see me princess?” He asked looking at her and raising an eye brow.

 

[Caralel]

“Yes. Well…”

She had amber hued eyes which stuck to him like honey; reluctant to stay yet reluctant to leave. Watching him pull selections of food onto his plate she quietly pulled her own chair out from the table and seated. Her mouth closed, pressing lips together and drawing a heavy breath through her nose; remembering to breath!

There had been better days for professor Stone, she knew this. The way he had tapped his cane heavier upon the floor indicated a restless pain in his weak leg. His smile was short as well, and his indication to get straight into the reason for this meeting was not overlooked. This made her even more uneasy. Alisia couldn’t help but feel maybe now was not the right time to be approaching him with this. …maybe never would be a better course to take.

“…Um.” Still hesitant, her eyes fell to the selections of food on the table. Darting between multi-colored grapes, steamy eggs and his busy hands she just couldn’t bring herself to speak sensibly. Pressured to reply she did, but most likely not in a satisfactory light, as her gaze fell to the three medium-sized pitchers remembering to explain their existence. “I couldn’t recall if you enjoyed hot tea, coffee, or juice for breakfast.” Stretching her hand she chose the pre-brewed tea and poured some into her cup.

Giving him a smile she returned the pitcher and then dropped two sugar cubes into her dark tea. Letting them dissolve Alisia sat quietly trying to find her boldness once more. Alex Stone had always been very attractive to the princess, and to others! The girls her age always made comments and remarks about his physique, and every once in a while she would catch a remark from a more mature Lady or two about his libido. It gave Alisia reason to believe that he was not a hermit to the palace sex scandals like she had been taught to be; reason to believe he could keep secrets seeing as how no drama ever surfaced. Maybe she was thinking and fantasizing too deeply into things! But considering the recent stress on her situation where her father was preparing to announce a royal wedding Alisia just couldn’t help but become desperate in her fears.

Hands cupped in her lap she shrugged her shoulders lightly trying to ease her nerves and presented something a little more comforting to the table discussion, although concerning. “Thank you for coming this early. I apologize if it was of any inconvenience to you. Sometimes I just like to get things out of the way and off my mind before the new day begins with new questions and new issues. I hope you’re feeling well?” She watched him embrace the breakfast, speculating that everything was well with his appetite!

She was nervous

Alex had been her teacher for as long as she had been born. The king was a good friend of his and he knew how good of a teacher he was. When he was originally approached to be her mentor and her teacher he had been hesitant at first. Wouldn’t a governess be more suited for the role? He had argued but the king insisted his daughter learn a proper education and was lest interested in protocol and etiquette then learning how to run a kingdom and defend herself. Since he was well apt at both he was the primary person the king had in mind. Alex debated it over and over again before he finally accepted the job he had always wanted to help mold the future and young minds and who wouldn’t want to teach a future Queen.

He had watched her grow up, turning from a mischievous child to a beautiful and capable young woman. He was like a father to her in some ways and she a daughter. They had spent so much time together he had come to pick up on her little quirks and knew when she was nervous.

Like now for instance

“Juice is fine Alisia” Alex said reaching over and putting a hand on hers “I can tell your nervous and obviously you have some thing on your mind speak freely sweetie you know I am only here to help you” he said before gently giving her hand a squeeze and letting go of it.

“Remember what I taught you a good Queen doesn’t beat around the bush” he said eating his eggs and eagerly eyeing the sausage a few plates away “you must be prepared to speak to your subjects with calm and confidence a good Queen understands that politics and decorum can only go hand in hand for so long and eventually one must be a Queen and demand what they want” he said trying to impart the best advice he could.

He wasn’t a ruler by any stretch of the imagination but he had read up about most of the great kings and queens before her. Her father was a good king as well and he had helped prepare Alex for the tasks of teaching a ruler how to rule. Some times it was touch and go but there were days when Alex departed form the classrooms and knew that his young charge would be more than ready for her trails of rule. He was vain enough to indulge that it wash is work that had done it but not enough to realize it was her spirit as well. Her impending marriage was almost upon them but he had no doubt that she would be more than ready for the challenge that it would bring.

 

[Caralel]

Alisia felt her heartbeat pause when Alex cupped his warm hand over hers. The contact seemed to wash away some reluctance and second thoughts, enhancing the belief that some sort of sensitive understanding and affection could exist between them. She really didn’t know what to expect in her request, affection-wise, though. Was care and warmth needed for such a delicate arrangement? Her eyes fell to their hands when he gently squeezed. He was like a father to her, and she undoubtedly knew his touch was one meant for reassurance.

Sitting quietly she listened to his advice and encouragement, trying to ignore the embarrassment for being so easy to read. Alex Stone always appeared to be one step ahead of her in every way. She was used to it by now. Or at least she should have been!

Her voice came soft, “To be honest with you Mr. Stone I don’t have any reserves concerning your lesson the other day.” Her spine straightened just enough to house the boldness needed to carry forth her crazy request, “I wanted to talk to you this morning about a more personal matter of mine that I hope you can help me with.”

Alisia’s gaze lifted from the assortment of foods to look at his face, trying to gauge if the truth in her confession bothered him. She continued, “You are aware that my father is preparing to announce my marriage to the man of his choice? Although still a few months away these life-changing events will be upon me sooner than what time appears.” Taking a pause to breath she dropped both hands into her lap beneath the table and fiddled with her fingers as nervousness amounted once again. Her voice dropped to near a whisper and her eyes grew slightly harder with the fear she felt in her next sentence, “I still don’t know who this man will be. Chances are I’ve never met this man in my life! I worry that I won’t be of satisfaction to him in bed, Mr. Stone. I might turn out to be a disappointment to him and a mistake. I feel unprepared for this, and tremendously naïve on all accounts.”

She was coming to him about sex

Alex starred at her momentarily struck speechless (not an easy feet either) he must have heard wrong. There was no way the princess was coming to him about sex?! I mean granted they had never really….. Well he had never taught her any thing to do with sex but he never really thought there was a need to. I mean every one expected the princess to remain “unspoiled” before her marriage but Alex knew what being a teenager was like enough to doubt it would be like that.

There wasn’t any thing wrong with her having sex before her marriage. Sure the “gods” frowned upon it but Alex was a scholar and personally thought it was a scare tactic for children. Of course he could never say he didn’t believe in the gods lest he face heresy but he still had a hard time thinking people actually did.

Superstitious fools

“I uh” Alex said clearing his throat before smiling “Forgive me Princess….. Alisia you question caught me off guard but your right we have not talked much about sex it wasn’t really my place and I assumed your mother….”

Alex saw the look in her eyes with the mention of her mother and quickly switched gears “I would be honored to help you through his Alisia as me any question you want and I will give you the honest truth” He said tapping his cane gently on the ground as he continued to eat his breakfast.

 

[Caralel]

She remembered her mother quite well. The Queen had always been a gentle heart to the people; solid and dependable. To Alisia the Queen had been no different, and having her pass away so suddenly had been hard on the princess. A few years had passed since the tragic event, but her mother would always remain as a strong memory and a sensitive subject to Alisia. Perhaps if she were still alive then Alisia could have had her as guidance in this matter. So Alex had every right to assume that her mother had already prepared her for this. However solid and dependable, the Queen never spoke about the sexual aspects to Alisia but instead always stressed upon the obligatory duties she must have for her kingdom and people. Alisia had missed out on a lot of valuable guidance when her mother passed away.

Relieved that Alex was understanding and willing to help she should have felt secure that these fears would disappear. She would gain confidence from having her questions answered. But somehow she knew this wouldn’t be enough. It was like learning to ride a horse. You could talk about it all you wanted but one would never learn without the experience of sitting in the saddle.

A small frown started to appear on her face, putting her lips into a sealed press. A pause of silence ensued, simply because Alisia needed more from Alex than just answered questions. Alex got a few more bites of breakfast down before Alisia found the nerve to go deeper into what she wanted from him. “Actually I was thinking some real hands-on experience would be more beneficial than just answered questions.”

“There is a lot at stake here. If I fail to please my future husband than things can go downhill quickly. I can’t let that happen. It is my duty not to let that happen. And it is your duty to prepare me and instruct me for my future role. You’ve been thorough with me in all of my lessons thus far; why not be the same for me in this matter as well?”

Alisia looked away, utterly embarrassed by what was coming out of her mouth. Yet there was still a bold conviction in her features that were visible suggesting how much she believed this was the right thing to do. “Do you find me attractive Mr. Stone?” She still kept her gaze away from his face. Shyness always had a way of overwhelming her. “If not, perhaps you can arrange for someone else? I have a feeling you are not a stranger to palace secrets and those who can keep them well.”

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

Oh Crap

She didn’t? Didn’t want to?

Oh Crap

Oh Crap

Oh Crap!!!!

Alex fell back against his chair his composure failing. His mouth slipped open in shock starring at the girl as if he couldn’t believe her words. She had just asked her for “hands on” experience. Alex was by no means a dumb man so he knew what that meant. He knew what his charge was asking him to do for her.

To have sex with her

It was treason! If any one at all found out about it he would be killed as easily as waving a hand. He was the kings best friend but there was no way in hell that he would forgive Alex for fucking his daughter. She was promised to another and if he didn’t have his bride as a virgin then he was going to be angry. The very fate of the kingdom could rely on her purity.

“Oh Alisia” Alex said pinching the bridge of his nose and moving forward to look at her “I have always found you stunning and beautiful as does any man in the kingdom if any man was going to pleasure you and teach you it would be me not some other man” He said surprised by how angry he was at the thought. He was possessive of her more so then he had realized which meant it was all the more important for them not to do this.

“I know your worried but we cant do this” Alex said trying to ignore her beauty and much as possible and remain neutral “if any one found our you were not a virgin any more the kingdom could fall apart and even if I was to agree to couple with you if some one found out I would die”

 

[Caralel]

“I would never let that happen.” Her vision fell back to Alex possessing a strong indication that his death would be something she could not bear. She was still struggling with her mother passing away even after these few years. The thought of losing the next person closest to her was very disturbing.

But emotions held very little insurance against an act of this kind. “The only two people who will know anything will be you and me. I know that you would keep this secret. And you can be assured that I would keep our secret for the very reason you pointed out – that kingdoms can fall apart. Surely you know me, and you know that I would never risk the shame and embarrassment it could bring upon my family. And as for my virginity, if you teach me well, my future husband will be so excited in bed that taking the time to check my purity will be furthest from his mind.”

She felt tense and nervous all over her body. She couldn’t believe the path she had set her feet on in front of Alex. Princesses were not expected to act like this! Perhaps the only thing keeping her from dying out of humiliation was maintaining a degree of business-like interest. He said she found her beautiful so there was an attraction between them considering Alisia had always thought Alex was handsome all the way around. But Alisia planned on appealing to his sense of duty as well. She was his charge after all, and a future Queen. Alex spent so much time trying to teach Alisia that sometimes a Queen just needed to make demands. Maybe she needed to do just that to get what she felt she needed so badly from him.

“Besides, you owe me this. It is your job to make sure I am prepared to step into my future roles. I’ve got no one else to turn to for this matter. Please Mr. Stone, this is something I need experience on. Please don’t turn me down on this.” Ok, so maybe she still needed to work on how to make demands. Somehow it never worked well with her personality; as if demanding was not something she was capable of doing.

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

“It’s not about us both keeping it a secret Alisia!” Alex hissed getting up and almost making his food scatter. He paced when he was nervous and so he began to move back and forth clicking his cane as he tried his best not to regard her. Of course she wouldn’t take no for an answer but Alex knew he needed to make her see reason. It was a dangerous game she was playing and the danger was more in his court than any thing else if he did do this……. Then he would be in a lot of trouble.

“This is a very dangerous game you are playing Princess” Alex said walking over to the door and checking the lock once again. He placed his hands on the warm wood paneling and turned closing his eyes and sighing as he regarded the princess.

“You really want to do this?” Alex asked not even believing what he was saying but continuing nonetheless “Do you really want me to take your virginity? Wouldn’t you much rather it be with some one handsome and closer to your age?” He asked finally sitting down at the breakfast table and studying the food in front of him.

 

[Caralel]

Remaining at the table when Alex abruptly got up her eyes was forced to the food. She disliked seeing him unsettled, especially when she was the cause for it. When Alex reached the door to check the lock she rose up from the table as well, however turned her back towards him to stand in front of the bay windows. She smoothed the front of her robe slightly as if it were a dress needing attention and peered out over the impressive scenery. Taking a deep breath she let Alex’s words filter between them before replying softly, “I know that this is dangerous; more-so for you than for me. I won’t blame you if you walk away and we will pretend the conversation never took place.”

She reached out for the curtains on both sides of the windows and pulled them together, shutting out the bright light of the morning sun. Then, with slow grace her fingers un-tucked the wrap of her fancy robe and shifted it off her shoulders to let the fabric drop and pool on the floor around her ankles. It revealed her lingerie which was very thin and delicate; barely nothing at all except for a slip of royal quality. Doing very little to hide and cover her young curves it hugged the shape of her hips and breast letting feint indications of her nipples show.

Alex had returned to his chair and Alisia turned from the windows to look back into his eyes. “I’ve spent many nights thinking this over Mr. Stone. I am very sure that this is something I want to do.”

Her bare feet were silent on the rug when she closed the distance between them to stand next to him. She cupped his cheek with her warm hand, laying fingers along his distinct jaw. Golden eyes roamed his face before locking with his gaze and smiling. “If I had a choice, there is no one else in the palace I would want to take my virginity. I’ve always fantasized about you. I trust you, and I feel safe when I am around you.”

 

[thepoeticmaster2121]

Alex couldn’t stop the low groan that came out of his mouth at her words. She had always fantasied about him? Alex knew he shouldn’t let it but those simple words stroked his ego giving him a almost smug thought. He knew he was handsome but he never thought he would capture the attention of a princess. Alisia was one of the most if not the beautiful girl in the kingdom and the world.

And she wanted him

When her fingers cupped his cheek he sighed and turned his head into it giving her a gentle kiss on her wrist. He could see the lingerie she was wearing and it was already affecting his body. His cock had been struggling to maintain its neutrality ever since this conversation started and seeing her in her lingerie was enough to finally break it his cock began to harden and jump and he quickly but his hand over it to cover himself.

“Alisia” Alex said before sighing and closing his eyes “There is no one in the castle I would rather let you give your virginity to either I have loved and cherished you for so long…… I have even fantasized about you ever since your body began to grow” He admitted trying hard not to give in to his nerves.

“I still don’t know if this is the best idea” Alex said before gently placing his hands on her hips and running his nails up and down her legs “but if this is what you want then yes I will teach you”
