Synucian: A little note about the rum drinking: People in the Middles Ages did not know about FAS and most women drank during their pregnancies. Although this is not safe, it was normal in these times.
CarmillaIsLifee: Sorry for the shortness of this chapter, but the next one should make up for it. We hope you enjoy!
Carmilla pushed open the door to William's quarters and slammed him against the wall. "What the fuck were you thinking?!" She growled. "Get off of me!" William shoved her back. "Your one fucking job was to protect her!"
"Why do you care?" William spat back. "You fucking her?" Carmilla snarled. "How dare you," She muttered. "I care because it's my job to protect her."
"So it's just all about the gold with you? Or maybe you're hoping the Princess will give you something extra?" Carmilla didn't understand why the human kept insisting that she wanted to fuck Laura- Okay, well. It was true. She did fantasize about it earlier that day, but it was nothing she'd act out on. "What? No," Carmilla growled. "You're not fooling me! You decided you're gonna play hero and hope she spread her legs for you. A rogue knight wandering the land just suddenly decides to settle down and work for someone? You have a motive, Charles, and it's pussy and gold-" Carmilla slammed him against the wall, much harder this time. He let out a gasp and then grinned. "Did I hit a nerve, Charles?" She was ready to do it. Ready to sink her fangs into his throat and rip out his heart. She didn't particularly care who would find the body, and she doubted they would care either after tonight's incident. "Charles!" She heard the King's voice shout. She stepped back, but never removed her eyes from William. "I will deal with him, Charles. Go sit with my daughter. She's asking for you." Carmilla finally broke her smoldering gaze away from William and nodded to the king.
As Carmilla walked back to Laura's room she began to ponder. Why do you care for this human so much? I'm just her guard, that's all. I just want my job to be done correctly. Sure, she's an attractive woman and, well, I wouldn't mind having sex with her but that's it! It's just my job to protect her. She slowly opened Laura's door and added a light knock just in case Laura was getting dressed but when she stepped into the room she saw the princess was already dressed and tucked into bed.
"Carmilla," She said and gave a weak smile. "How's your head feeling?" She asked. Laura gestured to the side of her head. "Like someone smacked it hard . . I can't believe William acted like such a coward. Do you realize how embarrassing this is for me? Now all those old women who have nothing better to do are going to talk about how I've married a coward."
"Against your will, don't forget that," Carmilla added with a smile as she took off her heavy armor so she could sit beside Laura. "You wouldn't have let anyone hurt me. You would've been right there in an instant." Carmilla tensed up. Sometimes Laura said things that made this weird feeling happen in the pit of Carmilla's stomach. She gave a nervous chuckle. "Well, it is my job to protect you, Princess." Laura nodded. "Carmilla . . ." Laura began. She looked back at Laura to see she looked a bit nervous. "What is it?"
"Would you sleep next to me tonight?" Oh fuck me, Carmilla thought. "Wouldn't that be a bit . . . unprofessional, cupcake?"
"Oh come on! We've slept in the same bed before," Laura protested with a pout. Carmilla looked at the bed as if she was debating on whether to say yes or no. "I really shouldn't, cutie." She tried to smile at Laura but the other girl frowned and after a moment turned over in the bed, facing away from Carmilla. Carmilla sighed and sat down in her chair and slowly fell asleep.
Carmilla noticed that Laura had been acting strangely towards her. First, it started when she asked Laura if she wanted her to get her breakfast. Laura didn't even answer her. She instead called for Perry and asked her to do it. Then after breakfast, she made Carmilla follow her around in the market and didn't say a word to her.
Later that evening, Laura walked off into the garden. At this point, Carmilla was getting annoyed with the little human. She followed her into the garden and said, "Cupcake, why are you being so quiet today?" No answer. "Princess." Still no answer. Carmilla's mouth twitched in annoyance. This damn human is going to drive me insane . . They walked through the garden in silence. Eventually, they went back inside the castle and headed back to Laura's room. Once inside the room, Carmilla backed the princess into the nearest wall. She grasped one of Laura's hands and pinned it above her head. "What the hell is going on with you?" Carmilla growled. The growl in her voice almost made Laura whimper. "Wh-what do you mean?"
She stammered. "You've ignored me all day. I would like to know why." Carmilla demanded. "I-I don't know what you're talking about," Laura retorted, looking away from the knight. Carmilla gripped her chin and tilted her forward, forcing Laura to look her in her dark eyes.
"Tell me princess." She ordered. A shiver ran down Laura's spine. There was something about this side of Carmilla that she found . . . enticing. "You . . . I wanted you to sleep next to me last night, and you wouldn't." Carmilla set her jaw. "That's why you've been avoiding me all day? Because I wouldn't sleep in the same bed as you?" Laura's eyes become teary. "J-just forget about it," She said dismissively. "It was stupid."
"Princess. ." Carmilla whispered so lowly she was scared that Laura didn't hear her. To her surprise, Laura looked her in the eye. She held Carmilla's gaze for a while, but then her eyes darted downward. Carmilla watched as the princess' tongue darted out of her mouth to moisten her lips. It took every ounce of Carmilla's being not to attack those lips with her own, but that didn't mean she didn't find herself leaning in a bit. Right when their lips were just about to touch, Carmilla could feel the vibration from Laura's lips to her own, there was a knock at the door.
The girls sprang apart, Carmilla letting go of Laura's hand above her head, and Laura smoothing out her dress. "Come in," Laura called as she watched Carmilla slink back to her chair.
In walked Perry holding a cup, "I brought you some tea Laura, it will be good for the baby." At the mention of the baby, Laura smiled and subconsciously placed her hand on her slightly protruding belly. "Thank you so much Perry, that was very thoughtful." Perry smiled and then worry etched onto her face. "Do you have a fever princess? Your face is very red." Laura's eyes slightly widened, and she shook her head, "No! I'm perfectly fine." She gave Perry a smile to reassure her that everything was okay.
When Perry turned to leave, Laura took notice that Carmilla was no longer in her chair. "Where did Charles go?" Perry asked.
"I have no idea."
Carmilla strode down the halls of the castle for a long time, thinking about what almost occurred in Laura's bedroom. She was very aware of all the dangers of her losing control over herself. For one, she could hurt Laura with her strength, and that was a big concern of hers. In fact, she thought to herself, I should probably check Laura's wrist for any bruising from me holding it to tightly. She shook her head, disappointed in herself for letting her sexual desires get the better of her. There again was that nagging feeling Carmilla had in her belly. She didn't understand the feeling at all, it came and went, and only occurred when Laura was in her thoughts.
There was only one way to fix all the sexual tension she felt in her body. Only one way to clear her head and be able to resume doing her job correctly. So without even really thinking about it, Carmilla strode out the front doors of the castle, and started the long walk to the closest brothel.
What she didn't know was Laura watched her leave from her window.
Carmilla walked into the brothel to see several women standing around. A redhead sashayed over to her and wrapped her arms around Carmilla's neck. "What can I do for you, sugar?"
"I need to fuck someone. Now." The redhead let out a giggle. "Well, you've come to the right place dear." She placed her hand between Carmilla's legs and rubbed it against her bulge. Carmilla let out a groan. "Take me to a room." The prostitute smirked at the knight and led her into one of the vacant rooms. She pushed Carmilla against the wall and kissed the side of her neck. "You look familiar . . . have you been here before?" Carmilla shook her head and watched as the woman placed kisses down her chest over the fabric of her shirt. She continued working her way down until she was squatting down in front of Carmilla. "I swear I've seen you before," She said as she undid Carmilla's trousers, letting her cock spring out. The redhead gazed up at her with a mischievous look and then returned her eyes to the knight's erection. She wet her lips before she placed them over the head of her hard cock. Carmilla balled her hands into fist as she let out a groan. "Oh fuck." The prostitute pushed more of her cock into her mouth, running her tongue over her shaft. Carmilla grabbed a fistful of her fiery hair. The woman's head bobbed as she worked her tongue up and down Carmilla's throbbing member. "Laura," Carmilla moaned out, which caused her to tense up. The woman didn't seem to mind or maybe she just didn't notice. She was now too busy licking the precum off the tip of her cock. Carmilla quickly shoved the woman away. "I-I have to go," She said as she frantically worked at her trousers. "But we're not done yet!" The woman protested. "I have to leave." Carmilla adjusted her clothing, flipped a gold coin at the lady and ran out of the building. This wasn't right, Carmilla knew that much. She understood now that the feelings she had for Laura were not just sexual. They were deeper than that.
Carmilla ran all the way back to the castle, up the stairs and down the long hall to Laura's room. She burst into the bedroom, and saw Laura sitting on the windowsill. When Laura turned around and saw Carmilla she looked at her with wide eyes. "Carmilla? Where-" She was cut off by Carmilla striding forward, grabbing her face and crashing her lips down onto Laura's. Laura was surprised at first but soon gave into her long-time wish to kiss Carmilla. It was a mesh of teeth and passion for a few minutes, until Laura pulled away for a breath. Carmilla remembered breathing, and she too took a large breath even though she didn't need it. Laura leaned her head on Carmilla's forehead and whispered out, "What got into you?" Carmilla was quiet, and Laura didn't think much of it until she felt something wet hit her collar bone. She pulled away from Carmilla's forehead and examined her, seeing that the knight had tears in her eyes. "Carm?" Laura asked with worry in her tone. "Laura I'm so sorry. I'm sorry please forgive me." Laura was confused, "What do you mean?" She asked petting Carmilla's hair, pushing the short locks to the side. Looking down, Carmilla took in an unneeded shaky breath. "For a long time I have been having these. . . feelings?" Laura nodded, prompting her to go on. "I don't know how to explain them, but I do know that even given the chance to be around someone else, I didn't want to be."
Laura stopped petting Carmilla's hair and placed her hand on the knights cheek, lifting her head. Carmilla closed her eyes though, not wanting Laura to see her vulnerability. "Look at me Carmilla." Carmilla obeyed opening her eyes slowly. What she found when she opened them was Laura's beautiful smile, and her eyes shining so bright they out shined the stars. "You didn't want to be with anyone else?" Carmilla shook her head, "No one else." She said lowly. Laura grabbed Carmilla's hand and led her to the bed, where she got her to lay down, then Laura climbed in next to her. She brought the knight's head to her chest, and she began to smooth out her hair.
Carmilla focused her hearing and found comfort in hearing the heart beats that belonged to Laura and her babies. After a while Laura spoke up, "You aren't going to go running out on me, are you?" Carmilla shook her head slightly, remaining quiet. "Good." Laura said, then went back to being quiet and petting Carmilla.
It took everything in Carmilla not to purr.
