29: Prime Queen

Being famous has its pros and cons.

When I first started to gain popularity as Sea Queen, it was private. I was an inclusive UTuber with no face, but a recognizable voice.

I have to be proud that I wasn't involved with drama. Sure, I was reached out by many other UTube animators, but I declined or never answered them.

I just wasn't ready.

Not even when I was invited to conventions as a special guest with everything paid, I wasn't ready to go out in public as my persona.

That was until the Parisian Film Festival.

I still could not believe that I gathered the guts to go there. But I don't regret it.

But what got my celebrity status to skyrocket was my contribution with Jagged Stone.

It's because of that I was able to meet Prince Ali and help with a noble cause.

I don't regret that either.

I'm still getting lots of emails and DMs from other celebrities that want to hang out or do something together. Some were charity events, others were some things that I had no interest in participating in.

I'm lucky that no one (other than the people that know) suspects that Jolene Baudelaire and Sea Queen are the same person.

I'm able to walk in a crowd without someone taking a second look and ask for an autograph or a picture.

Can't say the same for my boyfriend.

He's Adrien Agreste, teen supermodel. And he's Cat Noir, Paris' superhero.

"Are you sure you can't let Ladybug do the interview on her own?" I asked Adrien as we washed the dishes of our recent dinner.

It was the night that Nadja Chamack was going to do an exclusive live interview with none other than Ladybug and Cat Noir.

"And disappoint the viewers? No can do," He jokes. But when he noticed that I wasn't smiling, he grabbed my hand. "What's bothering you?"

"I understand that you do interviews, but Cat? Isn't he and Ladybug supposed to be… I don't know… mysterious?" I started. I groaned, "It's just- I'm sure Nadja is a good person, but she doesn't exactly make serious interviews. She likes to fish for gossip, things like that.

"And it worries me she's going to try something to compromise your secret identities."

Adrien squeezed my hand and brought it to his lips and my knuckles a kiss.

"I promise I'll be careful," He says softly. "Ladybug said the reason she agreed to do the interview is because she wants to reassure all of Paris that we are going to keep them safe and stop Hawkmoth."

Yeah, that sounds like her.

A naïve heroine.

"I know you don't like her, but she's my partner. She's not that bad," Adrien gives me a quick peck.

"I know, I know," I sighed. "I still need time to forgive her in my heart."

Adrien gave me a small smile, "That's my girl."

I blushed as I left the dishes alone and instead faced him completely. My arms wrap around his neck as I press my body against his.

"And I better be your only girl," I smile wryly as I pull him into a kiss.

Adrien immediately deepened the kiss as he grabbed behind my knees, pulled me up and sat me on the island counter. I wrap my legs around his waist and I moan quietly as his lips make contact along my neck.

"My only girl," Adrien breathes into my ear. He nibbles it, giving me goosebumps of pleasure.

But then Nadja's voice sounded loudly through my TV, reminding us that Cat has to leave very soon.

We groan as I slowly unwrap my legs from him.

"Have I told you that when you pout, I just want to kiss you more," Adrien says as he steals a kiss.

I blushed, but smiled as I put my hands on his face.

"And have I told you that I like it when you talk into my ear," I replied.

Adrien leaned in closer, his lips brushing against my ear, his voice was a tone lower as he whispered, "I'll do it more often then."

I only hummed with a smile on my face as I nipped his ear, "I look forward to it."

But I moved away when he went for a kiss and gave him a look.

"Cat needs to make it to the interview now if he wants to get there in time," I stated. "Or he just might not make it."

He pouted, but looked resigned. "You can be such a tease."

"Only for you, my love," I boop his nose. "Now leave and if your interview finishes soon… we can pick up where we left."

Adrien gave me a quick kiss before he dashed towards the guest room.

"Wait, five more minutes! The episode is about to end!"

"No time. Plagg, claws out!"

I smiled fondly as I went towards Chez Plagg after Cat left through my bedroom's window. I paused the episode and returned back ten seconds. Then I went towards the living room and got comfortable.

Might as well see Nadja's interview.


"Good evening, I'm Nadja Chamack and this is Face-to-Face. For our first edition, I welcome the beloved guardians of Paris, Ladybug and Cat Noir."

The camera focused on them, and I noticed Cat sat as far as he could at the edge of the couch, leaning towards the arm rest. It gave me a small amount of relief.

"Hello. Thank you so much for accepting this exclusive live interview!"

"Thank you, Nadja. We're honored to be here," Ladybug waves at the camera.

"And hello to all my fans," Cat winks and blows a kiss.

I smiled fondly at him.

"I'm sure thousands have tuned in tonight," Nadja grins.

"Don't encourage him or the cat won't stop purring all night," Ladybug jokes.

"Don't listen to her. Bugaboo's just a spot jealous," Cat smiles slyly as he stared at the camera. I don't know what was in the cameraman's mind, but he focused closer to Cat's face, it was soft and tender as he smiled, "You know you're out there watching."

My heart skipped a few beats and almost jumped when my phone vibrated from my hand.

It was a text message from Alya.

Of course she was watching.

"I thought we agreed on no more Bugaboo-calling, pussycat!" Ladybug jokes.

I sighed as they talked a little more as I focused on the text message.

Cat Noir was totally talking about you, gurl!

I texted back: He was talking about all his fans. I'm sure he wanted to make them feel special.

Another beep within seconds.

But then it made you feel extra special… ;) ;)

I didn't bother responding and instead focused on the interview.

"People know you, but they don't really know you. We see you saving Paris, but don't know anything else about you."

"We won't be keeping anything from you tonight," Cat says smoothly, as he leans back and crosses a leg over another. The posture of completely at ease.

"Well, we do have to keep a few secrets, including our identities, of course," Ladybug quickly adds.

"Absolutely," Nadja nods. "How about we start with questions from your biggest fans?"

"Yep. Let's do it!" Ladybug cheers.

The huge screen behind them that had the show's logo disappeared as a new image appeared.

It was Chloé and she was busy with her hair.

"Hello, caller, state your name and your question," Nadja says professionally.

Immediately Chloé didn't like that based on her scowl.

"Seriously, Nadja? Surely no one else would be the first caller but me! I'm only the most prestigious fan of Ladybug!"

Immediately, I got off of the couch and went to my room after turning the volume higher to hear it from a distance.

I don't know what compelled me, but I decided maybe I should be a caller. But I don't want to risk my face to be shown…

I set up a green screen in the guest room where I plan to make it a place where I could make professional videos.

It took less than two minutes to put on my wig, my contacts and set up the green screen to have my underwater kingdom background I would use on my UTube videos.

I closed the door so the TV wouldn't be heard as I waited for confirmation that I would be next. Apparently someone else was going to be ahead of me.

From my tablet I saw the video call screen pop up and I saw Cat, Ladybug and Nadja.

"Hi," I waved, my voice changing into Sea Queen's, "I'm Sea Queen. And I'm sorry I don't have a question. I just want to say thank you," I didn't bother to look at Ladybug, feeling bitterness gathering at my tongue, instead I focused on Cat, gathering all my love towards him. "Thank you for saving Paris. I'm sure you hear it a lot, but I just want to let you know that I'm glad Paris has you.

"So thank you from the bottom of my heart for protecting us." Then I looked at Nadja, seeing the small panic gathering at her face, "Thank you for your time, Nadja."

"Thank you for calling," She smiled softly and soon the connection was gone.

I quickly let go of the tablet and got out of the guest room.

I just heard Alya's voice coming from the TV, so I quickly went back to the living room, just in time to see Alya and a little girl.

I saw Nadja looking worried, but she must have pressed a button to cut off the video call.

Then she paused for a few seconds before looking at the superheroes.

"Uh, Ladybug, Cat Noir… Um, so, a lot of fans think of you as a couple of superheroes, but also, and I quote, a couple, unquote, period."

"What?!" They both shout. And it gave me the relief to see that they both looked uncomfortable with the question.

I know Cat has shown me many times that he loves me, but it doesn't mean I don't feel insecure. I don't think it will stop. My life has not been as nice as it could have been.

I was living a good life, but that changed overnight.

Then I was starting to live a peaceful life where I got closure, when suddenly that was shattered and made me realize just how vulnerable I really am.

I'm illegally carrying pepper spray in my purse now only because I begged Kathy to buy it for me.

And now, I'm living a life filled with love. I'm scared that will change in an instant, and this time, leaving me broken beyond repair.

"Can you confirm you're dating?" Nadja's voice brings me out of my dark thoughts.

"I'm very sorry, Nadja, but we're superheroes. We're not here to answer such personal questions," Ladybug frowns as she crosses her arm in front of her chest.

"Meow, Ladybug's growing claws," Cat smirks as he sits back.

"We're here to assure all Parisians they're safe, and it's only a matter of time before we defeat Hawkmoth. That's all," Ladybug continues, her voice strong and confident. It almost made me forget that it's Marinette behind the mask.

But then one look at Nadja made my stomach drop, "Fine. How do you explain these photographs, then?"

The huge screen behind shows a close up picture of Ladybug kissing Cat. And I saw Cat's lips were stained back.

It was when Cat was hit with Dark Cupid's curse…

"What? When did that happen?!" Cat looked furious as he narrowed his eyes at Ladybug. His pupils were turned to slits...

Ladybug waves her hands in front of her. "I was saving you, not kissing you!" She replies quickly.

Nadja didn't waste time to show different photos.

And it hurt to see it all.

Cat was hugging Ladybug while he was sliding down his extended stick.

Ladybug scratching Cat's chin on a bridge, a smug smile on her face.

Cat holding onto Ladybug's waist as they are swinging through the air.

And the final picture was threatening to break my heart.

Cat was on top of Ladybug in a rather intimate position that I know all too well.

"It's so obvious you're both in love!" Nadja exclaims.

"These are just a bunch of photos taken out of context!" Ladybug stood up. Cat did as well, his arms crossed over his chest now, and his lips turned into a frown.

"We were only doing our job," Ladybug continues, "We save the city together everyday! We're not a couple!"

"Why won't you tell the truth?" Nadja is seriously testing my patience.

"That is the truth," Cat states, the playfulness gone.

"Come on, the audience awaits your answer."

"This interview is so over," Ladybug says and without another word, both of them leave the area.

The camera focuses on them, showing that they are indeed leaving the studio. The door was opened ajar when Nadja shouted.

"Wait, don't go!" The camera turns back towards her, her face now desperate, "Your fans will be disappointed!"

The camera returns to Cat and Ladybug.

"If they're our true fans, they'll understand," Ladybug nodded as she finally opened the door fully.

"The lady is right," Cat nods, following after her partner.

A car commercial came up and I quickly turned off the TV.

Time to get ready for bed.

Just as I put my wig away, I got a text from Cat.

I need to talk to you.

It took a while, but I texted back.

And I need to hear it from you.

Not even a second later my TV turned on by itself, scaring the life out of me.

A neon face appeared on the screen and immediately movie scenarios involving I, Robot's VIKI went through my mind.

"Welcome, everyone, to a new show hosted by me, Prime Queen! Ha ha! Don't be bemused, it's just the news!"

The lady laughed evilly, and the more I looked at her, I realized that it was Nadja.

Somehow it didn't surprise me that she was akumatized. Afterall, her interview was cut very short. Must have been a blow to her TV host career.

"Tonight, Ladybug and Cat Noir disappointed all their loyal fans by refusing to admit their love for one another! I've prepared some trials to see how far they'll go to keep the truth hidden from us."

The moment she looked like she was going to get out of the screen like the Ring, I immediately ran towards my TV and pushed it off the TV stand and jumped on top of it.

"Nuh uh, no way in hell," I mutter, satisfied to hear it crunching under me.

I groaned at the mess I made, but I waited in my living room.

Hopefully the ladybugs will fix this. If not, well, I guess I will live without a TV for a while.


I might have dozed off waiting for Cat to return because suddenly I felt someone gently brushing my hair away.

I woke up and almost knocked heads with Cat.

I looked around and saw my TV in one piece again.

"Sorry if I scared you," He said softly as he sat down next to me. He was about to kiss me, when I stopped him.

"We need to talk," I stated seriously.

He looked hurt, but nodded slowly.

"I swear I don't remember kissing Ladybug," He starts as he grabs my hand. "You believe me right?"

"I do," I answered truthfully. "And I remember when."

He blinked.

"It was when Kim turned into Dark Cupid," I explained briefly.

"Ooohh," He says. "Wait, I never thought Ladybug actually kissed me like that. I swear!"

I grabbed his hand and patted it, "And I believe you."

He frowns, "Then why are you mad? Or are you mad?"

I groaned as I laid my forehead on his shoulder, "I'm… mad. Not at you, but that interview really got under my skin."

He rubbed my back soothingly, "When they showed those pictures, I was furious too."

"Because you knew that I was seeing them?" I whispered.

"Yeah," He starts softly, "But also because it reminded me how stupidly in love I was with Ladybug. I can't believe I loved her for just that one thing and got hooked on it for months. Trying to justify what I felt and place her on an unreachable pedestal.

"But now, I know that our love is true. You are able to love me for me, not just as Cat Noir.

"And the best thing is… we started our relationship as friends and it grew to be this beautiful love that I know will never die.

"If I placed her on a pedestal, then to me you are sitting on a throne. And this time, I can envision myself sitting right beside you."

A tear of happiness fell down my cheek as I felt the pure love that came from his voice. I hugged him, and his arms wrapped around me like a protective blanket.

"All I know now is that I love you more than my life," I whispered.

Cat's arm managed to bring me over his lap as I laid my head more comfortable at the crook of his neck.

"And I'm scared of losing you," I confessed. "When I saw those pictures, I wasn't jealous, I felt my heart breaking."

Cat then grabbed my chin so that I could look into his eyes.

He didn't say anything for a while, we just stared into each other's eyes.

"I'm scared of losing you too," He confesses as well.

I cupped his face and brought him closer for a kiss.

He kissed me tenderly, and he gently placed my back on the couch. He was on top of me as we kissed and touched each other with soft caresses.

His kisses gave wet trails that went from my lips to my neck.

My legs unconsciously spread wider and wrapped around his waist. My hands roamed over his back and gently tugged on his hair.

His hand grabbed my thigh and let it trail down towards my ass, giving it a squeeze. In response I would roll my hips towards him to his rhythm.

Then that's when we felt it.

Cat groaned and immediately was about to pull me away, but my legs only wrapped around him tighter.

"Don't leave," I gasp. I felt a tingling and moist sensation coming from my lower regions, leaving me with a strong urge.

Cat groaned as his arms shook as he was hovering over me.

"I don't want to either," He groans.

I grinded against him, making us moan.

"Then don't stop. We still have our clothes on," I dominate my tongue against his.

But my dominance was short lived as he took control and the steady rhythm we had going on, picked up pace, leaving me breathless. And I enjoyed hearing his low growling against my ear.

Then he slows down and then bucks his hips forcefully before he stays in place. It took a couple of seconds, as I heard Cat moaning in pleasure.

However, I still felt unsatisfied. I felt it burn with need.

"I'm not going to leave you hanging," Cat nips my ear.

I moaned as I felt his hand under my pants and lowered to the place I longed to reach for orgasm.

He moves his claws just in the right places, my breath hitching in pleasure giving away what I want, no what I needed.

"I want to make you cum," He breathes into my ear. "I want to be the only one that makes you cum, little lady."

He started to nibble and suck on my earlobe.

"I want that too," I manage to breathe out.

His fingers pumped faster, it didn't take long for the pleasure to finally explode.

My back arched and my legs shook, but I grabbed Cat's face so I could kiss him deeply.

His hands grabbed my face, kissing me back until my body stopped shaking, riding out the orgasm.

When we parted I was out of breath.

Cat only smirked and then moved me so that we were cuddling on the couch, chest to chest.

"…I love you," I manage to breathe out.

"I love you, too," He says softly as he kisses my forehead and rubs my back. "I wish I could stay here forever."

"Me too," I replied as I traced patterns on his chest.

He started to purr, but unlike last time, he didn't stop.

Instead, he pulled me closer and wrapped a leg over me. I wrapped an arm around him and laid my head against his shoulder, my eyelids getting heavier by the second.

The vibrations coming from his chest were comforting, helping me relax.

But when his purring stopped, I opened my eyes and saw him dozing off.

I admired his relaxed face, hoping to have it memorized for my entire life.

I don't know how long I've been staring, but I knew he had to leave.

"Amor, wake up," I said softly.

His eyes lazily opened, "Hmm?"

"You have to go back to your own bed."

He only grabbed onto me tighter and snuggled his face on the crook of my neck.

"I'd rather sleep in your bed," He replied groggily.

I felt heat rushing to my cheeks as I started thinking into the erotic books that had several bedroom scenes…

"Maybe in the future," I said absently.

That got him awake as he sat up, bringing me up with him.

He rubbed his eyes before staring at me.

"Did I hear that right?"

My face burned.

"Uh… what did you think you heard?" I say slowly.

He smirked, "That we will get to sleep in your bed."

"Okay, you heard right," I squeaked before covering my face with my hands. "I'm a pervert."

His hands grabbed my wrists and pulled them away from my face.

I looked at him to see him still smirking.

"We can start now," He says and I broke away from his grip and gently slapped his shoulder.

I pouted as I crossed my arms. "As much as I love you, I'm not prepared for that yet."

Cat's smirk transformed into a tender smile, "I was sort of joking. When we get to that point, I want us to both be prepared for it. And I want to make sure that it's special."

I returned his tenderness as I hugged him, "I want that too."


Cat did his best to delay returning to his house, but we both knew that he had to leave.

And that night seemed to last longer as I lay restless on my bed.

Then I felt a powerful urge to touch myself, in the same area Cat gave me pleasure not too long ago…

Erotica books are not enough to help me anymore.

I need to talk to someone. Preferably someone older and has experience.

It's been a while since I talked to Kathy.

I should invite her to lunch. She did say she loves my cooking…


Omake 18

Plagg always knows when he needs to leave my room when I have to fix my problem. I'm very grateful that I didn't need to explain, but it did get me curious.

"How do you know?" I asked him once he returned back as I placed my soaked sock in my dirty laundry.

"Most of my previous masters were male. They had similar troubles like you. So I learned that it's best that I leave the room and pretend not to hear the weird noises.

"Ignorance is bliss as they say," Plagg says. "But sadly, I know why it happens. Ugh, you and Jolene are turning into caramel popcorn and milk chocolate covered pretzels."

"Sweet and salty?" I was confused by the sudden metaphor.

One thing I've learned about Plagg is that he likes to associate feelings to food. Or anything to food, mainly cheese.

"Lust tastes like salt," Plagg sticks his tongue out. "You and Jolene were very salty and frankly it was making me cringe."

"You… felt that?"

Plagg shrugged, "I decided to be dormant when it was getting too salty. Whatever you two are doing, I hope it's not frequent. Or at least when you aren't Cat."

"…We'll do our best," I blushed, thinking back on what we did earlier…

I didn't plan for it to go that far, and I don't think neither did Jolene, but I don't regret it.

I'm glad we agreed to continue. I don't think I would have been able to travel from her apartment back to my bedroom without feeling awkward.

I wonder how it would feel if Jolene's hands actually touched it…

"And now I'm leaving again," Plagg sighs. "I better get my beauty sleep soon!"

I looked down on my lap and I groaned.

I took out the other sock and put it over my stiff member. I closed my eyes as I laid on my back, imagining Jolene and remembering her touch…


AN: ...

And that's the reason why I have to change the rating of this story!

Sorry folks, but from the beginning I knew that this story will be for mature audiences. I wasn't going to put suggestive themes right away of the story since Adrien's and Jolene's relationship had to grow first before we arrived to this moment. And I will be writing more scenes like that in future chapters. So you are all warned!

Hope you guys aren't mad... It took a lot of debating wether I should even post this or fix it to be censored... so now you know the answer.

But anyways I want to thank leenap1105, the guest reviewer, and starrat for reviewing. You guys are awesome, like always.

And many thanks to luckyhyna, private-emkay, RainyLove, Alepxa Batista, Imaoodisaccountman, JudiAndTheFandoms, Supred, Millie Belle, and Hanta Shiromoto for following/favorited this story.

And sorry once again for changing the rating, and hoping not regretting it.
