Chapter 8: The Heart's Desire
Bubblegum paced about her room anxiously. It had been almost two weeks since she had heard from Marceline. Fourteen days, two hours, and twenty-seven minutes, she thought (not that she'd been counting). Sure, Marceline often vanished for a few days, but never for so long, and never without leaving Bubblegum a little not first.
So Bubblegum paced. You know what though? I'm sure it's nothing. After all, I have councils that I have to conduct for days at a time…I mean it's only like two days at a time and everyone knows where I am but I'm sure this is normal! After all, she is a vampire queen, it must just be that their customs are very different from our own and require more time and more…vampiric junk. Of course this last thought flung violent images of people tearing each other apart into her head while shape-shifting to bite heads off and the like.
This caused the Princess to feel a little light headed, and she sat down at her vanity. Now, now, Marceline is a royal! I'm sure all of her meetings are very diplomatic. That's how royalty acts…but then, Marceline doesn't really conduct herself like royalty or dress like royalty or speak like royalty so there is no way that their royalty is the same as ours which means there is blood and heart guts and vampire beheadings and–! She let her head fall heavily onto the dresser as a barrage of images portraying a very mutilated and dead Marceline invaded her nervous mind. She felt like crying.
Just then, there was a faint tapping at the window of her balcony. So faint, she thought it was her imagination playing tricks on her. She had herself so thoroughly convinced Marceline was lying dead somewhere in her unknown homeland that she didn't notice the chilled, exhausted girl outside the window, who knocked again, harder, to catch her attention. Finally, after practically pounding the glass out of the framing, Bubblegum looked up from her vanity to see Marceline outside, waving, with a smirk on her face.
The princess rushed over and flung the doors open and backed up as Marceline slumped her way inside the room. Once she reached the center of the chamber, she let her axe bass drop unceremoniously to the ground and sighed, giving a soft, "Hey, Bonnibel."
At that, Bubblegum jumped and flung her arm around the older girl, squeezing what would have been the life right out of her. Realizing the difficulties the princess was having, Marceline said, "Here, let me help you with that," And chuckled as she shrunk down to fifteen, and only an inch or two taller than Bubblegum rather than four or so. Bubblegum clung desperately to her neck, as though to make sure Marceline was really there after all. The vampire hugged back, but eventually pried the younger girl off of her, making to sit on the bed. It was at this time that Bonni took stock of Marceline's appearance.
She looked well-worn and almost haggard. Definitely exhausted, and by the state of her clothes, like she hadn't changed in the two weeks she'd been away. She sat down on the bed next to Marceline, and, with concern and more than a bit of annoyance in her voice, asked, "Where have you been?"
Marceline took a deep breath and sighed. "I had to go home and take care of some Vampire business. They're a stubborn bunch so it takes a while…" She lied. In fact, Bonnibel's imagination hadn't been far off. Marceline split her time between Ooo and the Night-O-Sphere and a couple of groups of would-be usurpers tried to take her throne from her. Of course, she had to go and reassert her power which led to a big fight that lasted almost two weeks followed by public humiliations. Sure, she had dealt with small attempts at stealing her throne before, that was how one came into power in the Night-O-Sphere, but she hadn't had to deal with anything this severe in several hundred years. Most were very pleased with the way things were run. But this was an assassination-attempts-at-night situation, though Bonni would never find out about that.
Bonnibel hugged her tight, and Marceline laughed. "Could you tell me next time, you ruffian? I thought something bad had happened to you like the other vampires tried to kill you or mutilate you or feed your body to some wild animals or something horrible like that!"
Marceline laughed again, which caused the princess to go red. "I know I should have told you and I'm sorry. Really I am. Look, I even brought you something back as part of my apology!" She took a small pack off her back and pulled out a shirt. "I know it really isn't your style, but it's a tee shirt from my favorite band, Exquisite Corpse from their latest album Sweet, Sweet, Death. I mean…I didn't know what to get you in apology so I figured something that would remind you of me while I'm away. I mean, I was going to get you something pretty or some junk like that, but you're like, a princess and all, so I figure you could have anything your heart desires and-"
Bubblegum cut her off with a searing kiss. All through Marceline's nervous monologue, she had been overwhelmed with happiness and a certain giddiness that she had never felt before, and the more she kissed Marceline, the more the fuzzy became sort of a heated burn, in a good way. She pulled away for a moment and rested her head against Marceline's. "You are what my heart desires, Marci…" she whispered, and pressed her lips to the vampires slightly chilled one's yet again, pushing her down onto the bed.
The princess knew what was happening, she did. But as she let her hands and lips begin to explore the girl beneath her, her mind drew a complete and wonderful blank. Marceline was right after all…reading and doing are oh so very different. And that was the last thought Bonni had, as a long serpentine tongue entered her mouth and played with her own expertly. She moaned, and grabbed onto Marceline's shirt, all too aware that the vampire knew exactly what she was doing. Still, she wanted to touch Marceline first. She had wanted to for so long, and so, she pulled out of the mind-boggling kiss and yanked Marceline's shirt up over her head, placing curious hands on a taut stomach.
Eyes wide with appreciation, she gazed upon her soon-to-be lover for a moment, before leaning down and whispering lightly into her ear, "You are so beautiful…" and giving the whole thing a lick, causing a small groan to escape Marceline. Bubblegum wound her hands around the vampire's back and unclipped her bra, yanking it off slender arm, before attaching herself to Marceline's scar and sucking lightly, a full on moan echoing from the two of them together. Marceline tasted wonderful, like strawberries and raspberries, most likely from the shades of red she ate so often, and Bubblegum couldn't get enough. She didn't know how she knew what to do, but she did, and soon, fingers were working quickly on getting Marceline's jeans off which, luckily for her, were not skin-tight this time around.
Bubblegum had been sucking and biting at Marceline's chill flesh relentlessly, and as she sat up to observe her in all her glory, she was blown away by the beauty of the breathless girl beneath her. Truly, nothing could ever compare to Marceline as she was now: slightly flushed, panting, and naked. Her fingers itched with want of touching, but quick as lightning, Marceline sat up, and said, "I'm not the only one who's going to be naked, Bonnibel…" And pulled off the pink girl's nightgown and undergarments with lightning speed.
Bonni hastily reconnected their lips and sighed at the feeling of skin-on-skin. There was something so peculiar about the way Marceline felt. It was as if she were vibrating. At this point, her skin wasn't warm or cold, as was to be expected, it was almost charged, as if every inch of her being was excited and expectant and the princess loved the feeling of it. They collapsed back down onto the bed and Bubblegum began peppering kisses over Marceline's neck and jaw, her right hand moving nervously down to the vampire's chest.
Pausing her kisses for a moment, Bonni bit her lip nervously, before placing her hand fully on Marceline's exposed chest, kneading a little at the flesh in her palm. She wasn't' sure in her movements until she heard Marceline breath out a heady "Bonni…" and she continued with new found confidence. Mind burning and going blank all at the same time, the inexperienced girl placed curious lips over Marceline's other nipple, kissing and sucking and playing and eliciting the most beautiful noises from the girl beneath her. Hands found their way around her head, silently begging for her to continue, and she did, with renewed vigor.
There was something so simply intoxicating about Marceline, that every inch of her being knew what to do and how to do it. There was nothing she had wanted more and Bonni knew now that there was nothing she could ever want more than a gasping, moaning, oh-so beautiful Marceline in her bed.
As her lips continued their work on Marceline's chest, her right hand, of its own accord, began to snake its way down a taut abdomen and play idly around her pelvis, causing a little whine to fall from Marceline. A sound which Bonni decided was definitely one of her favorites. Fingers ventured just that little bit lower and began to tease ever so slightly at the vampire girl's folds. Bubblegum lifted her head up and placed it next to Marceline's, asking with nervous excitement, "May I?"
Marceline nodded fervently and gasped out a stunted "Please–!" as Bonni pressed a little more daringly at her.
Nerves racing and permission granted, Bubblegum took a deep breath, and found Marceline's entrance. She gulped at the wetness of it, completely in awe of her girlfriend's softness, and pushed one finger slowly inside, causing Marceline to gasp out in pleasure. Bubblegum relished in the feeling of being inside Marceline. It was warm and hot and made her entire body vibrate with passion and desire. She wanted more from Marceline, more skin, more heat, more touching, more everything, so she plunged two fingers into her and began pumping with a heated desire she had never known before.
Marceline clung to her back; sharp nails leaving scratches on pink skin, as she wordlessly begged the princess for more and more, which Bubblegum was all too happy to give. She continued, pumping faster and harder, her thumb finding its way to a spot that made Marceline cry out, telling bubblegum she was doing something right.
Soon, Marceline was gasping under her, "Bonni…I-I'm close…" Close to what, she wasn't quite sure, but it had to be something good. With one final exclamation of her name on Marceline's lips, she felt a clenching around her fingers, and Marceline arched up off the bed, Bubblegum still on top of her. As Marceline lay gasping beneath her, Bonni removed her fingers and wiped them off. "Marci…we're floating…" She whispered, but instead of a response, she found hot and needy kisses being given as she was flipped over and placed back down on the bed.
Gasping in want and shock, Bonni relished in the feelings that came from everything Marceline was doing to her. Well-practiced hands and lips teased at every sensitive spot Bonni had, moving slowly, but not too slowly. As Marceline's hand got closer to Bonni's core, her fervor decreased into a soft, warm desire, remembering that it was the pink girl's first time. She placed feather-light kissed on Bubblegum's neck while playing lightly with her core. "Are you sure, Bonni?" she asked.
The princess just shook her head, unable to formulate an audible response.
"It's going to hurt a bit, sweetie…" Marceline whispered.
"I kn-know." Bubblegum stammered, want coursing feverishly through her veins, "I–Marceline–Please…"
And with that, Marceline slowly pushed one finger into her, a sharp pain resounding through her and causing tears to spring to her eyes. Marceline didn't move, and whispered lovingly, "Tell me if you want me to keep going…"
A few moments later, Bonnibel nodded her head for Marceline to continue, and the two shared a light kiss as the vampire delicately began to move inside Bubblegum, who winced slightly at first. But soon, the pain began to dissipate into the most intense form of pleasure she had ever know, and she whispered a quiet, "More…" To Marceline, who obliged. At the time, Bonnibel hadn't known what she was asking for more of, but when the vampire added another finger and picked up her pace, she knew it must have been that.
Breathing came quick and heavy, filling the air with gasps and cries of pleasure. "Are you okay?" Marceline asked, never giving up her pace.
Bonni nodded, feeling more than okay. "S-something's w-weird." She stammered, and Marceline smiled, putting a thumb on Bonni's most sensitive spot "M-Marci…Marceline!" the pink girl cried, and was sent over the edge, mind flooding with sheer pleasure.
Coming down slowly from her high, she found herself wrapped in Marceline's arms. As she drifted off to sleep, she heard (or maybe dreamed) the vampire say, "You are what my entire being desires, Bonni…"
When Princess Bubblegum woke up in the morning she was alone in bed and wondered for a moment if it was all a dream. However, upon further inspection, on the pillow next to her were the rock tee-shirt folded up and a note from Marceline.
"Bonni-
I figured it would be best if your
butler didn't find two naked girls
in your bed, so I went home. I'll
see you later tonight and we'll talk,
okay?
Your Heart's Desire,
Marceline"
Bubblegum laughed at that last little bit and clung to the tee-shirt and note. She'll be here later tonight… Bubblegum thought with glee, and a huge grin spread across her face. A knock came on the door, and she quickly stuffed the note and shirt and her nakedness under her covers. "Come in!" She sing-songed at the door.
Peppermint Butler walked in. "Hello miss. Are you all right? I thought I heard strange noises last night…was that ruffian here?"
Bubblegum scowled, her cheeks reddening slightly. "I am fine, Peppermint. And how many times must I tell you not to call Marceline names? Besides, she wasn't here last night. Now if you'll excuse me, I must get ready. I'll be down in a bit."
He looked at her skeptically. "Yes, Princess…but be careful. Your people might not take too kindly to one of her kind being close to their princess." And with that, he left.
Bubblegum stared at the closed door after he left. She pulled out Marceline's note again, and smiled. Yes…she is my heart's desire…
Everything else Bubblegum could worry about later.
A/N
Sorry about the lack of updates these last couple days, I had appendicitis and then an appendectomy and my pain meds leave my brain all fuzzy! Haha! Anyway, this chapter comes from Shadowfox who wanted 'How PB got the rock shirt from Marceline' as well as someone else who PM'd me about wanting to see 'their first time' so I'm assuming they wish to remain anonymous. Shadowfox suggested that the shirt be significant to their first time as well, as it would mean a lot, so viola! Fluffy smut chapter FTW.
I DON'T WANT THE STEM OF SUGGESTIONS TO STOP! I LOVE IT!
Right so I might be updating a bit slower for a few weeks what with the surgery and all, so I'm sorry 'bout that. But thanks all for reading and suggesting and I'll try not to suck with the updates!
