Here's the chapter 12 ;) enjoy
"Time to wake up Cara."
"Already?" The Mord'Sith asked sleepily. She couldn't even open her eyes.
"The night has been short because of you!"
"Yeah, yeah" the blonde sighed. "But you have to get up, not me. Let me sleep."
"I thought you said you would be here for me."
"I am here for you... from your bed."
"I need my bed anyway. My mate won't be long."
"Ah, that's what you meant by here for you." Cara had already jumped from the bed.
"Yes this is what I meant. So, let me dress you." Kahlan had that big grin on her face that scared Cara.
"What the hell did I say..."
"You said 'I swear I'll spend the whole day in a dress'."
"Thank you Kahlan I really needed to hear that."
"Then you said 'please Kahlan, please, please...' " The Confessor faked Cara's tone. "And another 'please Kahlan' and finally you said 'make me come' "
"Is that an order?"
"No it's not. And you're too tired I'm not sure it would be as great as last night."
"It's a shame I can't say you're wrong. Oh Creator I'm so weak..."
"I think it's a good thing. it proves you're not a robot. You know you can just kiss me when he is here. It's enough to make me forget the world."
"It will begin with a kiss and..." Cara slightly ran her hands on Kahlan's arms.
"No, I'm tired too actually. If we make love once again I won't have the energy I need to work properly. You neither."
"What do you mean me neither?"
"You're coming with me. You will meet people who will train wizards with you."
"Just so we're clear, I'll do it my way. If anyone says do it like this or like that, I will stop."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure of that. I'm sure they will like you. They expect results and you will give them. They will be stronger than expected."
"Is that what you think or just your way to say do it please?"
"No I mean it."
"You know, I don't care if I disappoint them. But I won't disappoint you, I promise."
They smiled to each other, until they heard a knock on the door. Kahlan opened the door and let her mate come in. He was surprise to see Cara in the bedroom. She was still naked and she realized it only when she saw the cold glance on Kahlan's face, telling her to get dressed.
"What is she doing here Confessor?"
"Yeah Confessor, what am I doing here?" Cara teased her. "Get out of your dreams, you fool. This isn't going to be a threesome."
"I wasn't thinking about this. By the way I want only my Mistress."
"Well, it's too bad because you're Mistress is mine."
As the two argued, Kahlan could see in Cara's eyes all the angst and the jealousy she had for this guy. She didn't blame her of course, and she didn't really appreciate him neither.
"And why would she be yours? You're nothing."
"Oh because you are something?"
"I wouldn't be her mate otherwise."
"I'm glad for you." Cara said ironically. "You lost everything you were to be used by someone who doesn't even care about you. I prefer to be nothing."
"It's a matter of time before she realizes I'm the best for her."
"A matter of time? I'm impatient to see that!"
"Don't worry you will. Now we should start Confessor."
"How many times will I have to tell you not to call me that?"
"Why? You are a Confessor. The best that has ever existed."
"One of my privilege, boy. No one but me can say it."
"That's ridiculous."
"What's ridiculous is you, thinking you will have her."
"She's right. Don't get false hopes, I don't even remember your name." Cara laughed at this.
"It's David."
"Well, David, first I don't want you to talk to anyone about her and me. Second we decided that you will penetrate me only to cum inside me."
"Just those seconds, not more." Cara nodded with a 'she will need a new mate if you don't do this' look. You can ring a girl or just do it on your own, I don't care. As long as you're not fantasizing on her." she added quickly.
"But, Mistress, I was chosen to please you."
"Seriously?! You didn't get it?! It pleases her not to fuck with you."
"Enough! I don't want to waste my time seeing you two arguing. And no 'but' Cara." She tried not to blush at what Cara just said. Actually Kahlan had hope the blonde would have say that in a different way. It was true of course, however she didn't have to be that rude.
"Hey! I didn't say anything!"
"You would have say 'but' in the end, don't deny it."
"Maybe..." The Mord'Sith wrapped her arms around Kahlan's waist possessively. In fact each movement shown Kahlan was hers. "I want you to keep your name." Cara whispered slightly.
"Excuse me?"
"When you marry that idiot, I want you to remain Kahlan Amnell."
"Well, sounds good. Now go under the sheets, I hate it when you're naked in front of others. I will have to teach you how to be modest."
"Modest? You can't succeed Confessor."
"Really? I'm sure you'll be modest for me. A bit of blackmailing and it's done."
"You're bluffing, you wouldn't dare."
"Keep telling yourself that, but we both know I would dare."
"Don't worry Mistress, I'm not interested by her."
"What the hell are you waiting for?!" Cara yelled. She wanted this to end quickly. "Hey Kahlan, you don't look good. Are you ok?"
"Of course I don't look good, I look tired. And it's all your fault. We won't do it again tonight."
"Hey, calm down. I know exactly what you need." Cara whispered.
"Creator please tell me she's talking about her special massages!"
"She heard your prayers."
Cara started to undress Kahlan so that she had full access to her shoulders and her back. And then she started; with her palm and fingers of each hand, she squeezed Kahlan's flesh at the base of her neck on either side of the spine.
"When you do that I tell myself your fingers are the thing I love the most in you."
"Funny, to me it's rather your fingers are the thing I love the most inside me!"
Kahlan whished she could slap her, in a gentle way of course, but for now she was too relax to do so."
"I'm sorry Kahlan but I can't say that was a joke."
"So dirty... as always. Anyway, when you kiss me I change my mind and I prefer your mouth."
"You don't know, right? What you love the most in me."
"The choice is difficult, there's so much to love in you. You can't blame me."
"Who said I was blaming you? Let me help you to compare."
"No, you said massage!"
"But kisses are included. Here, let me show you."
Cara continued to rub Kahlan's skin gently with her hands and then her lips joined them. But what Cara didn't expect was the Confessor to push her back.
"Don't do this. I'm going to sleep all the day if you do it that way. Oh Creator, my eyelids are so heavy! Seriously how do you do this?"
"It's a secret."
"I thought there was no secret between us!"
"What?! I've never said that."
"In normal couple there's no need to say it."
Cara didn't answer, she just rolled her eyes. She pushed Kahlan on the bed again and, even though Kahlan complained, she started once again to kiss and rub her skin.
"Don't fight it Confessor. Just relax. You can let go you know."
Kahlan did so. She wasn't fully asleep, but she wasn't fully conscious either. The minutes passed by and Cara never stopped to enjoy the contact of her soft pale skin under her fingers. The blonde smiled at her relieved expression on her face. She didn't need to feel more of her, doing this was enough. Sometimes she whispered things like 'Sweat dreams?' or 'Do you feel good?'
Both of them were too lost in this moment to notice David, Kahlan's mate, approach them. He was on the edge of coming so he grabbed Kahlan by her waist and entered her quite violently. She instantly opened her eyes almost in shock because she didn't expect this to happen. Actually she had totally forget about him.
What brought her back to reality were his screams, followed by a "don't you ever do that again you bastard". Kahlan also heard the sound of the Mord'Sith's agiels.
"I'm sorry Mistress, I didn't mean to..."
"It's ok..." Kahlan had to say quickly to prevent Cara from killing him or hurting him badly. "Just be more careful next time."
"Oh no, there won't be a next time with him! Take another one."
"Yes Cara there will be a next time with him." The Confessor sighed.
"But he's nothing more than a savage."
"I can't confess everyone because I'm not satisfied with my mate. I was just surprised that's all."
"I'm sorry Mistress."
"David, I will forget this if you forget those... agiels."
"You shouldn't let her stay here if she's a..." But Kahlan cut him off.
"Just forget it."
"I can make him forget if that's a problem."
"Cara you're not helping! Get out for now please, I need to speak to him."
"Oh I see, you blame me for hurting your precious mate."
"What?! No I don't."
"Don't worry I'm leaving." Cara said as she dressed herself quickly.
David was glad her Mistress asked her to go. And also glad that blonde was upset. Kahlan sighed as Cara slammed the door. Truth be told, the Confessor knew she would react like that. But she really needed to make things clear.
"Mistress, Mord'Sith are dangerous. You can't trust her."
"I know her for a long time now and I can assure you we can trust her. So please, don't do anything stupid, don't tell anyone. You might think you'd better tell them for my own good but it's not true. And just so you know, if she has to leave Aydindril, I'll leave too. Is that clear?"
"I won't betray you Mistress."
"Thank you David, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. You can go now."
"Yes Mistress."
Cara was waiting at the door and Kahlan was glad she didn't go anywhere.
"Come here."
"Alright boss." Cara said sarcastically.
"Look, it's not my fault if he had discovered who you are."
"I'm not sorry for what I did."
"I've never asked you to be sorry for that. But I had to make sure he's wasn't going to tell anyone. And it's done. So now, I have to take care of my lovely Mord'Sith."
"Lovely until you put that dress on me."
"No matter what you wear you're always lovely. But it's not the time to talk about that. I think the green one would suit you better."
"Choose for me. Quickly if you don't mind."
"Definitely this one."
"If you say so..." The blonde sighed.
After Cara had put the dress on, Kahlan took a step back and to have a better look.
"Humm, no. You won't wear that."
"What?! You're kidding me! Why not?"
"Because you're too sexy in it, I can't bring you at the Council like that."
"And what if I like this dress?" Cara lied, not wanting to change her clothes.
"No you don't. You don't like any of them!"
"Not true, I like them on you. But seriously, who cares if I'm sexy or not? That won't kill me. Unless it kills you." Cara teased her.
"Of course it kills me. I know them, they will spend their time looking at your revealing."
"Ok, ok you win." Cara sighed. She didn't want it to last much longer. In fact she wanted the day to be over so she could wear her own clothes.
"Thank you. Try this one."
"It's not just a try Kahlan, I will wear this dress. As the Mother Confessor, you can't waste your time to dress me."
"You're right. But this dress is good anyway. You're beautiful but not too sexy.
"Good. It means we can go now?"
"Not before you give me my last kiss of the morning. We won't be able to do anything together as long as we're not in this room"
"Where is the problem exactly? I mean everyone knows you and your mate it's just official and there's nothing between you two."
"I have to be a faithful woman, Mother Confessor or not."
"Oh come on this is ridiculous." Cara laughed, as if all of this was a joke.
"Confessors are not supposed to fall in love, so in theory it is not a problem. There's no reason to be unfaithful."
"You'd better be faithful to me anyway."
"I will try."
"If you're not then I won't be either."
"Alright, alright I promise." the Confessor answered quickly.
"Good to know. Now here's my little kiss for you." Cara put her lips on Kahlan's slightly. Too slightly to Kahlan's taste. Cara stepped back, she won't give her more.
"This is for yesterday night." Cara said simply.
"I don't really care you know." Kahlan lied, making the blonde laugh.
The meeting was totally useless according to Cara. Kahlan just said what she already told her. But at least she was sure; Kahlan told them clearly they can't decide how Cara was supposed to do it. That didn't bother anyone, as long as there were results.
Kahlan was right, these guys were looking at Cara with desire. And, of course, Cara played the game as if to say to Kahlan 'I told you that was a bad idea!'
'Damn she's too sexy in this one too after all. Why is she always so perfect? ' the Confessor told to herself.
"So Cara you'll work with Liam and Josh, even though that is not the same section. Any question?"
"No question, I'll be fine Mother Confessor."
"It will start tomorrow and you'll see together how you're going to proceed."
"Fine. Do you need me anymore here?"
"You're free to go."
"So... I will see you guys for lunch?"
'How dare she look at them this way!'
"Sure no problem." Liam answered, pleased to spend time with her.
She left after that. She saw the cold look on Kahlan's face and grinned.
'Alright, now sleeeeeep! I've two hours before lunch, it's enough.'
She couldn't go to sleep in the Mother Confessor's room since Kahlan wasn't here with her. It didn't really bother her, an inn would be good. The two hours passed very quickly for Cara. She didn't want to get out of the bed, after all they could decide without her.
'No, Kahlan would want me to go... And it's not like my Confessor is in the bed with me'
It was true, if Kahlan would have been here with her, then she wouldn't have moved. But she wasn't here. However, she was here when she met the two boys.
"Mother Confessor? You're joining us?"
"I want to know how you're going to do this." It was her way to say to Cara 'don't do anything stupid with them, I have an eye on you.'
"It's always a pleasure to have your company." the Mord'Sith said in a mocking tone.
"You don't have to say that you know, she's a pretty cool Confessor."
"Excuse me? What does that mean exactly?" Kahlan felt insulted, as if she was not a serious leader.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to offend you. We never had a Mother Confessor close to people like you."
"A cool Mother Confessor? Interesting. But I meant it. So, I was thinking about separating fight and magic. Which means for example the first month, they learn fight and the next they learn magic. It's important that the separation is clear in their heads. It's just my opinion but focusing on one thing first and then the other is the best way."
"Are you sure about this? Is it really better?"
"I assure you it gives better results. It always did when I trained people."
"So it's not your first time?"
"First times are over for me." Cara winked at him with sexiness." They say I'm pretty good actually."
"Maybe you could give me advice."
"I'd like to have some too, miss Mason." Josh added.
"It's Cara for you guys. Well it's not complicated. Make them go beyond their limits. No better way. And step by step, this is important. Why, you didn't train anyone before?" Cara asked surprised. She knew how important it was to train the wizards and Kahlan would have never asked to novices.
"I did but no one told me I was pretty good at this."
"Me neither... "
Both Cara and Kahlan knew they didn't want advice from her, but time with her. Cara didn't roll her eyes but really wanted to.
"So we agree with that? Each month they change their lesson."
"It's ok for me. Mother Confessor, can the students give up and go?" she asked.
"This is their right. But I'd be glad if no one does since they're not numerous. So you'll have to convince them you're doing a good job. Don't let them go."
"I am afraid this is something I can't promise."
"And I am afraid I know that. Just don't be too harsh with them."
"Who knows, maybe some like it this way..."
"You're right. You can show me how you do it." Liam said seductively to Cara.
"This is not time for this." Kahlan said before Cara could answer anything. She knew it would end like this since Cara was in a flirty mood today. 'She is never going to change...'
"I think there's nothing more to say Mother Confessor." Liam couldn't take his eyes off of the lovely blonde before him.
"Really? Then tell me who's going to start? Because I don't remember you said it."
"I will, don't worry Mother Confessor. Your little wizards will grow up I promise."
"They're not children. At least they're not all children. Some are older than you. And I ask you to adapt their training according to their age…"
"No problem, they'll suffer all the same anyway."
"It's good as long as you don't go too far."
"I will make an effort."
"Good."
"I think she's right. We need to use force."
"So if you all agree with this it's fine. Can I have a word with you alone Cara?"
"Sure, what's the problem?"
Of course Cara knew what the problem was. Her behavior towards the boys (especially Liam). One last smile to the guys and she followed Kahlan.
"Tell me what is it, no one can hear us now."
"Are you kidding me?! Don't play that game with me!"
"Interesting. What game do you want to play exactly? I have few ideas if you want."
"Not funny..." the Confessor didn't want to, but she blushed.
"You can stop me if you want, you just have to kiss me."
"Not here. You know I can't."
"Alright, I'll do it for you."
"No Cara don't..."
Too late... the Mord'Sith had already stolen her kiss.
"Stop it."
"Come on Confessor, you had that look on your face all along... Your turn to give me a kiss. If you don't want me to flirt with them this is the only way."
"So I have no choice then." A small smile appeared on her face before she kissed Cara. Tongues met, fought for dominance and expressed their need to possess each other.
"For someone who didn't have the choice, that was pretty good. Admit it, you wanted it so badly. This is why you were here with us."
"I don't want to play with fire."
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Anyway, I'm going to go back and make things clear, as promised. Satisfied? But you know, I think they love the dress more than me."
"You think? Well I think they prefer your body to the dress."
"That is so selfish from you because you love my body too!"
"This conversation is useless..." Kahlan sighed, knowing this was leading nowhere.
Cara just smiled and left. She told Kahlan she would pay for what she did last night. It was her turn to tease her.
"So, what did she want from you?" Liam asked, a bit concerned.
"Nothing special."
"Nothing special? Then why did she want to speak to you in private?"
"Actually she said it was between me and her. I can't tell you. Top secret."
"A secret between you two? Suspicious..." He smiled at her with an intrigued look on his face.
"Suspicious how?" Cara giggled. "Do you think something just happened between me and the Mother Confessor?"
"Who knows?" John said. It was the first time he spoke since she came back. He was clearly not a big talker.
"In fact we shared a passionate kiss..." Cara joked though it was true.
"And would you share a passionate kiss with me?"
"I'm afraid the Mother Confessor won't allow me to kiss you. She could confess me..."
"So it's a no, right?"
"My heart belongs to someone else."
"Too bad, I'm sure you're a good kisser. But I can't really know unless I try."
"I'm dead if I do that."
"I don't think so, you're such a strong woman."
"Not when it comes to that. We should stop talking about this now." Cara tried to change the subject. She didn't like to talk about her feelings, except with Kahlan. Actually she gave up to hide her feelings to Kahlan long ago.
"Yeah sorry. But one day I'll have my kiss."
"Maybe. But for now, you're wasting your time if you think about it. Don't worry there's a lot of pretty girl here."
"I know that. I wish I could have the Mother Confessor."
Cara instantly froze as she heard him say that.
"If she hadn't those stupid magical powers I would have already done dirty things with her. Oh yes that would be soooo good! She's as sexy as beautiful. One day, in the morning I saw her with her mate in her room. It was pretty hot. I wish I was her mate, he must have good time with her."
"You're crazy man, she would ruin your life with her magic."
"That is your opinion, not mine. They have sex each day. Cara you shouldn't have talked about sharing a kiss with her…" And here he was, lost in his thoughts.
The Mord'Sith remained as calm as she could, but she really wanted to use her agiel right now. He was so disrespectful!
"I'm sorry I have to go. I forgot I have to do something."
"Can I see you later today?"
"Why? Trainings start tomorrow."
"I know but maybe we could learn more about each other."
Cara didn't answer but rolled her eyes.
"It's useless man, nothing's going to happen between you two." John said to him. He was amused by the situation. Usually, girls never say no to Liam.
"We'll see."
"You're wasting your time."
"Are you serious?! Look at her; nice boobs, nice ass and those lips... she's perfect. How could I be wasting my time?"
"Alright, do what you want, I don't really care."
"Don't worry, I will tell you what it's like to have sex with her."
"Yeah, or maybe we could..."
"Oh no, she's not the kind of girl I would share. You can forget it."
"If you say so. It's a good thing actually, I'll have more chances with girls if you're waiting for someone else."
"You're wrong, I can't do without girls. Cara is just a goal but there's a long way to reach it and I will need comfort from lovely girls."
'How dare he say that?! If he does anything to her I'll kill him, no matter what Kahlan says. I hate that guy. He's a fool if he thinks something is going to happen between us. He's not even my sex partner type! In the end I'm lucky she's a Confessor. If they do anything to her I won't have to hurt them, Kahlan will do it herself. She will destroy their soul even before she realizes it. And they're scared by her. No concurrence, it's good.'
Cara's smile was back. Hers, Kahlan was just hers. The only man who could possibly be a problem was in D'Hara. But still, even when they're just thinking about her it's too much for Cara. She was so jealous, she was going to be insane.
'Love is so stupid! And I am so stupid either. But it's Kahlan's fault. None of this would be happening if she wasn't Kahlan Amnell.'
For the first time Cara realized how hard it will be to live this new life. She didn't want things to be always like this. Always an eye on her to see if someone gets too close to her. She knew Kahlan felt this too. Especially since the only magic she had was the breath of life. She was more 'accessible' to people. That was a theory of course because Cara wasn't use to be close to people. A very reassuring thing for Kahlan!
