First Steps

Seliph turned around after locking the door. "Julia." He said her name lowly as he turned. "You sure about this?" Something felt off about the night, less what they were about to do, and more of a simple nagging feeling that settled in the back of his mind. It was far too early to celebrate- they only had achieved their first real victory: just a stepping-stone on their path to victory, and freedom from the Empire. Even so, the past couple weeks since they had set march from the Manor at Tirnanog, they had overthrown Imperial control and wrested Isaache from Imperial hands.

His eyes locked with Julia's, and she nodded. "Yes, my lord." She said brushing her hair off to the side, and sliding backwards onto the bed. Lewyn had asked that he take care of this woman, and he had promised to keep her safe. He had no idea passion would erupt between them, but as he had crossed the fields from Gaineshire, those fleeting nights when they were harried by troops under Imperial command, she grew on him, quickly. But part of him thought perhaps this was too much- it might have been the night's wine and ale that had him going this far, but he couldn't be sure. However, he knew, that much like finally making the move against the empire, nothing came of sitting back- perhaps she was a gift, he couldn't tell.

However, as his eye admired her slender form, her long silver hair and pale skin, all softly illuminated by the light of candles around the room, he knew that any doubts he had about it paled in comparison to her beauty. "Very well," he said, "if you're sure, then so am I." He reached out and touched her shoulder; her skin was soft and smooth, and pleasing to the touch, so much so that he felt his heart begin to pound, knowing they were hardly beginning.

She smiled lightly, "My lord, remove anything that's in your way." She said, taking hold of a loose knot that held her nightgown on and undoing it.

"I will." He said, leaning closer to her. He took in a deep breath, and pulled her close to him, placing his lips upon hers, their mouths opened slightly, allowing passage of their tongues into the others. As he his tongue played with hers, he could taste a hint of the night's wine in her mouth, reminding him swiftly how they came to lying with each other.

"…We won!?" A soldier shouted as a few of the troops stationed under King Dannan surrendered.

"King Dannan is dead!" Another soldier shouted. "Lady Julia killed him with her Nosferatu spell!"

Seliph breathed a sigh of relief, Julia had insisted on attacking Dannan personally. He was worried as he got caught in the fighting in the castle grounds, but with her appearance at the gate, it seemed everything would be alright, and perhaps more importantly, the Liberation Army had won its first critical victory- the Imperials controlled Isaache no more.

"Here's to Lord Seliph and Lady Julia!" A man shouted, raising a glass of beer high.

"And here's to that Johan punk who wheeled out these casks!" Another, clearly drunken man shouted in the revelry.

Seliph shook his head at the whole mess, although he wore a smile on his face.

"Hey, Larcei, have this dance?" A boisterous voice called over, prompting Seliph to look over to his left, taking a sip of his wine.

"With you, Johan?" The female soldier shook her head. "I would, but… no."

"…Why's that, my love?" Johan replied.

"Look, I know you did just throw out your ties with the empire, and all, but I'm…" Larcei said, only to yelp a moment later as Johan simply picked her up.

"Have fun Larcei!" Seliph called out, "You two were great out there!" He shouted to them before turning back only to find Julia staring at him.

"Lord Seliph…" She said, having a sip of wine from a glass.

"Julia." He nodded.

"Thank you for all you've done since I've met you." she said.

"It's been my pleasure. Sir Lewyn asked me to anyway." He responded, "But you're… something else, you know."

"Thank you, sir." She nodded.

"Care to join me in this revelry?" He asked, looking over towards the celebrations breaking out in the courtyard.

"Of course." She nodded. "But… sir…"

"Julia. I want to say something." He said, wrapping an arm around her waist. "…Look, I know this is weird, but, I love you."

"I love you too, sir."

He broke the kiss after a few moments and caught his breath, his eyes looking up and down her. He smirked slightly, reaching his hands towards her chest, with the tie already undone, it was easy for him to pull open her shirt, exposing her breasts— she wore nothing underneath. They were fair in size and round, her pink nipples adorning each. "I think this'll be a good point to start." He said, squeezing her breasts and teasing her nipples, which elicited excited squeaks from her.

He arched his back as he played with her, kissing each of her breasts once before suckling on one, his fingers continuing to play with her other side. "M-my Lord Seliph..!" Julia shouted with a clear ringing of pleasure. "Oh gods…" She quivered with delight and fell backwards onto the bed, him coming along, continuing to suckle her nipples, but their new position let him slid his hands freely. He ran his hand down her chest, his fingers gliding over her skin, and slipping into her lower garments.

"You're already wet." He said, his eyes lit up as his fingers teased her slit. "Let's see though," he said, letting his forefingers dip into her entrance.

"Oh gods..! Seliph!" She exclaimed as he toyed with her. She rocked and shook out of pleasure for a few moments but Seliph brought himself to a stop and lifted off of her. "What's wrong?"

"Your pants and all of my clothes are still on." He answered, undoing his shirt, casting it aside and stepping out of his pants shortly thereafter. He was already erect, a fact that was clear to her as her eyes settled on his cock. She leaned in a bit closer to him, but he moved first, grabbing hold of her garments and with a swift tug, pulled them down, letting gravity take care of the rest, leaving both naked. "Now, where to go next..?" He pondered, his eye locking on to her crotch. A smile crossed his face, as he dropped to the ground.

"My lord?" She asked, but stopped as she felt his hands grasp her thighs. She spread her legs slightly realizing what he was doing, the edge of his mouth touching the sides of her vagina, his tongue teasing her walls. "Oh… Seliph!" His tongue flicked about within her, his saliva mixing with her natural juices as he lavished her. He flicked his tongue around, catching a few points that made her coo in sheer delight.

"Who'd have thought, that I'd actually fall for you?" He asked as he held her, each rocking slowly. "When I met you at Gaineshire, I had no idea. It happened so fast… so blindingly fast." He said, kissing her cheek. "I just knew I had to protect you. But then… I don't know."

She shrugged slightly, tilting herself into his rocking as the slow piano piece played behind them. "It doesn't matter, my lord."

"I don't know if this is right, I just confessed to you and all, but… when the war's done, I want to marry you." He said.

"I'd be… more than happy to." She replied. "But…"

"…Why wait until then?" He asked. "We love each other… no harm."

Seliph pulled his head up, panting. He leaned forward, pressing into Julia, teasing her abdomen with his fingers, tracing around her navel. His legs entwined with hers, as he felt her release her juices- she couldn't contain herself, and neither could he. Dipping his fingers into her once again, he moved swiftly this time, continuing for a while, as she moaned and chirped; only stopping when he felt another wave of fluids drip down his hands.

"You ready?"

"…yes."

He took in a breath sliding his hands around her, taking hold of her arms, and his erect cock into her vagina. She pushed back, yelping slightly- while her constant flow of juices and his precum made entry feasible, he was a bit big for her and entry stung.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Yes." She responded, knowing that his thrusting was about to begin. "Don't stop."

He nodded, rocking his hips, his cock slamming into her, faster and faster with each motion. She squeaked in pleasure with each thrust. For him this was a moment of bliss, a surge of pleasure came over him as their bodies rocked together, his cock enjoying the feeling of being inside Julia's body. As it rubbed against the inner walls of her vagina with each thrust, it sent a wave of feeling, of energy, through him. He arched himself, not slowing for anything, allowing him to lick at her nipples once more. It was heavenly.

"S-sir Seliph!" She blissfully cried out, as he thrust into her and played with her breasts. She wanted this to last forever, but she could feel herself climaxing from it. Her body shook and quivered with the motions and her world spun. Eventually, everything seemed to stop, fluids dripping out of her, around Seliph's member and onto the sheets.

Nearly at the same time, Seliph exclaimed "Julia..! I'm going to…!" before he released, almost unexpectedly with a final strong thrust that pushed deep into her. His semen shot out into her, hot and sticky, repeating several times, as his heart pounded in his chest.

Everything was so hot, sticky, and there was a distinct stench in the air as he collapsed onto Julia. He finished, and at that moment, wanted to cuddle with her for the rest of the night. He caught his breath, each heavy and strong as they recovered.

He placed his arms around her, and kissed her once more, quickly. For everything ahead, they had a long road laid before them. In life, in love, and in war, but they knew they were together.

The following Morning.

"Sir, I'm not one to give you orders." Oifaye said, looking at the blue-haired man. "But… for the other's sake, if you're going to have sex with Lady Julia, do keep it down."

"I'll try, Sir Oifaye." Seliph nodded.

"…Although, I suppose it runs in the family. Same thing happened with your father and Lady Deirdre."
