I keep trying to write a T rated story, but somehow always end up with innuendos. For those who didn't notice, the rating has changed.
King Arthur and his knights were camping for the evening. "We should reach the castle tomorrow. But for now we rest." Arthur said. "Gwaine's first night camping without another warm body this time." Elyan joked. "Sounds like someone wished he had a warm body to curl up to." Gwaine shot back. "I thought it was very noble of her to stay in that village, not many ladies would have done the same." Merlin stated. "Not many ladies would have come wit hus on this queste to begin with." Sir Leon added. "She is extraordinary." Gwaine muttered under his breath.
"Merlin get up, we're leaving." Arthur kicked his servant awake with a sliight nudge. Merlin groaned to the entertainment of the others. Suddenly Merlin shothis eyes open and shouted. "Arthur, duck!" An arrow came searing over their heads. "Bandits!"Gwaine shouted. From the trees came at least a dozen badits, all had their faces covered. The knights and Arthur were slaying bandits lef tand right, but they seemed to just keep coming. One bandit stood out, he was shouting commands to the others, but did very little fighting of his own. It was starting to look bad for the knights of Camelot. When something or someone started shooting arrows from the forest into the bodies of bandits. Some of the bandits started to run towards the archer, they never made it far. There were only a few bandits left, including the big one. The arrows stopped and the knights were on their own again.
"Kill them all!" The leader of the bandits shouted. "Kill them a…" "You sure you want to finish that sentence?" Someone had been sneaking up on the man and was now holding a knife to his private parts. "You finish that sentence and I cut off your little toy. If you start a new sentence calling your men back, I might leave it on." The big man swallowed. "Draw back men." "But we almost…""Draw Back!" The bandits reluctantly agreed and started to make a run for the forest. But their leader was still held captive by a litte knife. "Now that wasn't so hard was it." The mystery warrior removed the blade. "Now go before I change my mind." The man run as if his life depended on it.
Finally the knights could see who this archer was. "Lady Lilly!" Merlin exclaimed in relief, the others just laughed or stood flabbergasted. "Told you I could fight." Was all Lilly said before giving Merlin a friendly hug. "We thought you wanted to stay in the village?" Leon asked. "Turned out they were doing just fine without me. They actually send me away to fight the bandits." Lilly explained. "Well I'm glad they did."Arthur said. "Welcome back."
They were riding again, and Gwaine had found his spot next to Lilly. "So you are even more dangerous than I thought."He said jokingly, meaning the knife to the crotch move. "There are many things you don't know about me, Sir Gwaine." And with that she sped up her horse to ride with Elyan. Leon rode his horse next to Gwaine's. "A girl like that could be trouble." Leon said. "A girl like that is worth it."
"So tell me Lady Lilly, how did you know those children at the village?" Sir Elyan asked. "The were orphaned a few years ago. We took them in to care for them. They are like a brother and sister to me." Lilly explained. "Our land is quite small, I know most of the villagers near our castle. It if nice to feel their support, and it makes the maids gossip much more interesting if you who they are talking about." She joked. Elyan laughed with her. "You never struck me as a person who interests herself with gossip." "There is not much to do around the castle, my sparring partners have grown a bit scared of me. And it greatly annoys my mother, wich is a great bonus." "I thought you loved your mother?" Percival asked. "I do, I love her very much. But she wants to make me a proper lady, well behaving and doing as she is told. But those frilly dresses are not for me, I'd rather smash some heads than to needlepointing. I know she means well."
They had reached the castle early in the afternoon, luckily before the bandits had dared to attack. The seven of them rode into the courtyard, to be greeted by the lady of the castle. "Mother." Lilly jumped from her horse and ran to her mother for a quick embrace. "Thank goodness nothing has happened yet." "Thank goodness you are alright my child." Her mother answered.
After a quick introduction they were led to the throneroom, Lord Talltree rarely came out of his chair since he had send his daughter away. "Father." Lilly started running toward the old man in the chair, who seemed to liven up at the sight. "Lord Talltree, I am King Arthur and these are my men. We have come to help you in your fight against the bandits." The old man finally seemed to notice the other people in the room. "Thank you." "We should get ready, father. I'll be back as soon as the fight is over." Lilly said. Her father grabbed her hand. "No, you are not fighting. I can't risk losing you." The old man spoke. Sir Gwaine stepped forward. "My lord, you have an extraordinary daughter. She is as brave and skilled as us. She saved our lives just this morning. All she wants to do is protect you, my lord. Let her." Lilly looked over to the black haired knight with a gratefull smile. "What is you name, brave knight?" Lord Talltree asked. "Sir Gwaine, my lord." The old man looked down at his daughter, and then back at the knight. "Look after her, Sir Gwaine. She can fight." "Thank you father." Lilly finally dared to breath again. "Men to your stations, Lilly you go with Gwain."Arthur commanded.
Once the finally had a corridor alone Lilly practically jumped on Gwain to give him a hug. "Thank you." She exclaimed. "No trouble my lady. None at all. After this journey, you deserve to fight." Gwaine answered, still holding her. "Those things you said, about me being extraordinary, is that true?" She asked shyly. Gwaine pulled her closer. "I meant every word." Lilly put her lips to his with great passion, Gwaine immediatly started to kiss her back. Working his tongue to open her lips, she gladly obliged. Slowly Gwain started to push Lilly against the wall to deepen the kiss. They broke up for air, both panting. "My apologies, my lady. I…" Gwain started. "Shut up." Lilly said and kissed him again.
