The Commission Files- File #a1368 A Knight's Love
Characters: Kent, Carrie, Sain
Based on: a commission by horn_purple on Twitter
"You know Kent, it's not like you to be secretive like this, if I wasn't your best friend I'd be worried that something was wrong." Sain teased Kent as the door was closed to his room. Kent had come to him late this night saying he needed to talk to him about something but that he didn't want anyone else to know what was going on. "And shouldn't you be talking about important stuff to like Carrie or something?"
"Well, I would, but the subject that I want to talk about is her and that would kind of defeat the purpose wouldn't it?" Kent replied as he took a seat at the small table that was in the middle of Sain's quarters. Being the sub-commander of the knights had it's perks.
"Oooh, intriguing." Sain noted with a big smile on his face as he sat across from Kent. "You're lucky I don't have any company tonight." Kent shot him a knowing look but Sain brushed it off as usual. "So what shall we talk about involving the lovely lady Carrie?" Sain was actually really happy that Kent had found someone special in his life. It didn't drastically change his personality like he was expecting, but getting to see his best friend happy pretty much every day was it's own reward.
"Well, you remember when I told you I might want some advice on how to propose to Carrie right? This is that. I have an idea and I wanted to run it past you to see what you thought and if you had any improvements I could make to it." Kent answered, knowing very well that Sain had remembered.
"Look at you Kent, ready to step up and make the big decisions like always." Sain noted with very little sarcasm because he was really happy to hear this news. "Alright, lay it on me, what were you thinking?" So Kent laid out what he had come up with to Sain and Sain really liked the idea, though he had a few tweeks to implement.
"This idea is very 'you' Kent." Sain noted when the explanation was done with. "It's very understated as expected, but pretty romantic nonetheless. Though I think you should spice it up just a bit. Not too much, just one thing that I would suggest."
"And what would that be?" Kent wondered, glad that Sain was actually seeming to give him genuine advice and not making fun of the situation. So Sain let him know what his idea was and Kent liked what he came up with.
"Oh, I would be remiss to not let you know she's probably gonna want to jump you as soon as you get back." Sain ended with a little tease.
"Yeah, I've got that in the back of my mind as well, but thank you for bringing it up in case I didn't." Kent noted.
"Hey, what are friends for?" Sain asked with a chuckle. "And just because I know you're gonna be nervous, just remember that things don't have to be perfect. Look at me for example, I'm far from perfect but I'm happy with where I am in life. I make mistakes all the time as you know and you're still my friend, so if things go awry with Carrie I'm sure she'll understand."
"Thank you Sain, you really are a reliable guy when you feel like being one." Kent noted with his own small smile to his friend.
"What can I say, I like it when my friends are happy." Sain smiled back. "Is that all you wanted to talk about? Because the longer you're in here with me and not with Carrie the more suspicious it might seem?"
"No, I think that's it." Kent said getting up. But then he did think of something. He pulled a small box out of his pocket and opened it up to show Sain the ring inside. "You think Carrie will like this?"
"I think she'll love it."
Carrie woke up the next day alone like she usually did. It was nice for Kent to sleep with her at night, but he had to get up so early to take care of his knightly duties and he rarely slept in. She was used to it though so it didn't make her that lonely anymore. Though what did surprise her this morning was a small piece of paper that was left on her nightstand. She picked it up and started to read it once her foggy morning vision cleared up.
To Carrie:
Sorry for leaving you so early once again, but this time it's for a slightly different reason. Meet me by the stables after you eat breakfast and do anything you need to do for the day. I want to take the day off and spend it with you taking a nice ride out by the lake and having a meal there as well. Oh, and don't forget to bring your swimwear since I have the feeling it's going to be a warm day.
Kent
As Carrie read the note her heart started to feel very happy and full. It wasn't rare for Kent to do something romantic like this for her, but every time he did it was a special occasion and he did his best to make everything work out wonderfully. It energized Carrie to get up and get dressed and start getting everything she needed to get done organized before she met with him.
"I am so lucky to have a man like Kent in my life." Carrie said to herself as she went about doing the things she needed to do after breakfast. "He's so considerate of my feelings and he goes out of his way to make me feel special. And he's just a wonderful person who helps those in need and takes charge, he's great!"
"Yeah, I'd say Kent is a pretty awesome guy myself." Sain chimed in since he had started walking next to Carrie in the hall. She jumped slightly but this wasn't the first time Sain had done something like this while she was zoning out.
"Sain, how many times do I have to tell you to stop doing that?" She asked him with a bit of a headshake. "Anyways, do you have something for me, because I'm a bit busy right now getting ready."
"No, no, I just wanted to wish you a happy day out with Kent." Sain replied genuinely. "And to say that I'm glad he found such a lovely and caring woman to call his own. I was starting to think that we'd both end up alone."
"Ha, good one Sain." Carrie chuckled.
"No, I'm serious." Sain noted. "Before you came along, I wasn't sure that Kent would ever get over his feelings for Lyn. But now, it's been forever since he's even said her name without it being prompted by some news about her and Mark or something. That may sound like a small thing to you, but for someone like Kent who is so single-minded on things, that's a big deal."
"Sain, why are you dumping all this on me all of a sudden?" Carrie wondered. "We've been through this all before, is something up?" Sain realized that he might have been laying on to thick and he began to backtrack.
"Why would something be up? Can't I just be happy and jealous of my friends for a bit?" Sain teased. "Anyways, I'll see you two lovebirds later, bye!" And with that he scurried off before he could say anything else that might give something away.
"That was weird. I mean it was Sain, but it was weird even for him." Carrie noted to herself when he was out of earshot. "Oh well, I'm sure it'll all come out eventually. I need to get going if Kent and I are going to have time to do everything he wants to." So she hurried off and finished everything she needed to get done and headed down to the stables where she found Kent grooming both of their horses to prepare them for a ride.
"Carrie, I'm so glad that you could make it." Kent said with a warm smile as she walked up. "I hope my note wasn't too messy, I was in a bit of a rush when I wrote it."
"It was perfect Kent, and it's really romantic that you wanted to spend the day with me." Carrie replied as she moved closer and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Before we head out though, is something up with Sain? He was acting weird when I saw him earlier."
"Not that he's told me." Kent noted. "I was talking with him last night and he didn't bring up anything. What was he doing?"
"He was just going on about how happy he is that we're together and how he's surprised you were able to move on from Lyn." Carrie explained. "Like it wouldn't be weird if he hadn't already told me that in the past."
"Maybe he's just having a crisis with his own love life as usual." Kent said, hoping that would end the conversation since he knew Sain was acting weird because he knew that he would be proposing to Carrie tonight.
"Yeah, that's probably it. He'll get over it eventually like usual." Carrie commented before moving on. "So, are the horses ready to go?"
"Yes, I fed them and made sure their shoes are on properly as I was waiting on you, so everything should be all set." Kent noted.
"Great, I brought a healing staff and some medical supplies in case something were to happen or if we come across anyone who needs help on the way." Carrie stated.
"That's a good idea, I should bring a sword just in case as well then." Kent said walking over to a weapon rack and putting one in his sheath. "Okay, we should be ready to go now." So they both saddled up on a horse and a few minutes later they were off. The land surrounding Castle Caelin and it's town were very beautiful. There were trees everywhere as far as the eye could see and large clearings where you could see all sorts of wild animals just living their lives. As they rode along to the lake Kent wanted to stop at him and Carrie got to talking about things.
"You know, I can't believe that it's only been almost two years since we first met each other." Carrie noted. "It actually feels like we've known each other for much longer, don't you think Kent?"
"I agree, I feel like you've been in my life much longer than that, but that's not a bad thing obviously." Kent replied. "Who would have known when I accidentally ate some poison laced cake that it would lead up to me meeting the love of my life?"
"I'm just glad that Mark had the confidence in my staff skills to let me use that Restore staff all the way back then. I was sure one of the other students in his class would be much better at it, but he trusted me and it made all the difference." Carrie noted.
"You know, we should get Mark to come back and teach some more basic combat classes, the squires really enjoyed having him and Lyn around." Kent suggested. "Though maybe after their child arrives, so it's not so hectic."
"Do you think we should go visit and try to help out when the time comes?" Carrie wondered.
"I've been thinking about it. I figured we'd sent them a letter and let them decide. Because Lucius and Serra, some other healer friends of ours, live a lot closer to them than we do, so they might be the better choice to ask." Kent noted.
"That's fair." Carrie agreed. "I'm sure whatever they end up having though, that baby is going to be super cute."
"Probably." Kent replied before trying to hold in a laugh. Carrie gave him a look and he knew he had to spill it even if it was a bit rude. "I'm just hoping it comes out with green or brown hair, if you catch my meaning."
"That's something I would expect Sain to say you know?" Carrie noted with a small laugh of her own. "But I'm sure it's theirs, they've been very careful about things. Kind of makes me wonder what kind looks a child we might have would have. But that's a long way off I'm sure."
Probably a lot shorter of a time than you might think. Kent thought to himself as they approached the lake. "Looks like no one else had the same idea today, though that's not completely a bad thing."
"Yeah, it just means we have the whole lake to ourselves." Carrie noted. "The water looks so clear and lovely today, and you were right when you said it's a bit warm, I could take a dip right now honestly."
"Well, why not then?" Kent suggested. "If we end up eating first we'd have to wait, and it hasn't been that long since breakfast, I think it would be alright."
"You make some good points there." Carrie replied with a big smile. "Let's tie the horses up and change into our swimwear." She said this, but she had something else in mind that they could get up to first.
"Sounds like a plan." Kent noted. So they tied the horses up and found a nice secluded spot to change into their swimwear in case someone did end up showing up. Carrie quickly undressed and put the bottom of her purple bikini on first and then took a few peaks to see where Kent was in his process and when she saw that he was naked she snuck up behind him and gave him a tight hug, making sure he could feel her bare breasts on his back.
"Surprise! She teased him as her hands started to explore his chest and down towards his abs.
"Carrie! What are you doing?!" Kent asked in a bit of shock. Of course they had done stuff like this before, but he wasn't expecting it here and now, especially not somewhat out in the open like this.
"I figured since you went out of your way to set up such a romantic day together I should give you a bit of a reward." Carrie noted as her hand slipped down towards Kent's shaft. "If we do something now like this then when we get to swimming then everything will wash off. Unless you don't want to of course, I'd understand that." Carrie brought up a good point, and it didn't look like anyone else was going to be coming around. Kent thought back to when he told Sain he could be flexible with what happened today and that helped him make the decision a bit easier.
"Far be it from me to turn down a well earned reward." Kent joked, letting Carrie know he appreciated the thought. "What did you have in mind?"
"Oh, nothing too much, something like this I suppose." Carrie teased before walking around to Kent's front side and getting down on her knees so she was more level with his crotch. "Hmm, a little excited already I see."
"Can you blame me?" Kent asked with a light chuckle. "What guy wouldn't get a bit worked up over seeing his girlfriend topless and in a position like that."
"No, I guess I can't." Carrie teased him some more. "But what I can do is rile you up a bit more, I know you can get a bit bigger than that." And with that she stood up a bit taller on her knees so her chest was level with Kent's shaft and gently placed it into her cleavage before starting to rock her chest up and down, pushing her breasts together slightly with one of her hands as well. "How does that feel, good?" She asked sensually.
"Very." Kent replied in a bit of a lower voice, a hint of a pleasured moan in his voice. Feeling the warm softness of Carrie's chest enveloping his shaft was a better feeling than being wrapped up in a warm blanket on a cold day and it sent goosebumps up and down his back with every up and down motion she was giving him. Very quickly his dick grew to full length and when it was there it would peek out of Carrie's cleavage every time she rocked her chest down. This was exactly what Carrie was expecting would happen so when it did she moved on a bit more.
"Well, let's see how you like the feeling of this then!" She said before lowering her head down slightly as she continued to move her chest up and down. Now every time that Kent's dick popped out of her cleaveage she gave it a quick little kiss on it's tip before raising her chest back up. That sent another wave of pleasure out through Kent's body and he was starting to actually make some noise from that. Slowly but surely Carrie kept lengthening the time she kept his dick popped up and able to be kissed or licked until eventually she let her breasts free and started using her tongue and hands on Kent's shaft fully.
"Oh Carrie! Carrie! Keep going, just like that!" Kent moaned out, not really caring any more if anyone would come around to hear them, he was lost in the blissful pleasure she was giving him. And in the back of his mind he was loving the fact that once he proposed he'd be a bit more willing to do this more often and maybe even initiate sometimes.
"Oh, I plan to." Carrie teased him, enjoying the fact that she could get Kent this worked up. She was starting to get a bit turned on herself, but she knew that she would probably get some love thrown her way once they got back to the castle so she wouldn't be too frustrated. Eventually she moved on again and moved her mouth in more closely and started to slowly take Kent's shaft into her mouth. Now she wasn't quite experienced at this part just yet so she couldn't take the whole thing in, but she was confident that she could take in enough to get Kent off. And that confidence was well founded because soon after she did that Kent could feel he was about to blow. It was a mix of the surprising nature of this encounter, with him not able to mentally prepare for it, and his own limited experience in intimacy combined to make him reach his limit sooner than most men his age would.
"Carrie! I'm about to finish!" Kent strained out. But luckily this time Carrie was prepared unlike that time that Sain burst in on them on her birthday. So she moved her head back and opened her mouth wide with her tongue out while she reached out and placed Kent's tip on said tongue, jerking it back and forth slightly to push him over the edge. That worked just as she wanted it to and with one last loud moan white sticky strings of seed started to spurt out of Kent's tip. Most of them landed right on Carrie's tongue or into her mouth, but a stray shot or two did end up hitting her on the cheeks and nose, though she didn't mind that much.
"Hmm, a bit saltier than I was expecting, but not completely rancid." Carrie commented as she swallowed up as much of the seed as she could. "You really shoot out a lot no matter what huh? I guess that would be a good thing if you ever want to start a family."
"I've never really thought about it, but I guess that makes sense." Kent replied as he tried to catch his breath. "That felt pretty good for that being the first time you've tried that."
"Yeah! It was fun. But I hope you know I expect you to return the favor when we get back home." Carrie teased him.
"Oh, I know." Kent said back with a wink. "Uh, though I think I accidentally got some on your face."
"No worries, that's why we're swimming next right?" Carrie said not really minding. So they finished up getting dressed in their swimwear and hurried into the lake. The water was nice and refreshing and they really had all the time and space to enjoy themselves. Kent actually wasn't that great of a swimmer but Carrie certainly was, so she was swimming circles around him the whole time.
"Are you sure you aren't part fish or something?" Kent asked after a while. "I think Mark and Lyn have met people like that before."
"I don't think any of them were fish though, they said they turned into cats and birds and such." Carrie noted with a laugh. "But who knows, maybe there are people who live like that in the ocean and they just can't survive on land. That would be interesting don't you think?"
"As long as they were peaceful, I'd hate to have to fight them. You know how strong fish have to be to live in the ocean?" Kent pointed out. "Pretty strong."
"I'm sure if they popped up people like Lord Hector and Lord Eliwood would know how to treat them right." Carrie commented.
"Yeah, but who says they'd meet them first." Kent noted.
"Hmm, good point." Carrie replied. "Well, we'll cross that bridge if or when it comes. Anyways, I'm getting a bit hungry, how about you?"
"I could eat now." Kent agreed.
"First one to shore gets to pick their food first!" Carrie challenged him. Of course she was the first one to get there, but she did wait for Kent to spread out the cloth and food before digging in. "Purple grapes, my favorite!"
"Of course, I've known you long enough to remember what kind of fruit you like." Kent said with a smile. "I brought some more of your favorite foods as well."
"I see!" Carrie said with excitement as she looked over the food. "You're such a sweetheart Kent, it's one of the many reasons why I love you so much!"
"Well, I try." Kent replied modestly.
"And you try well." Carrie said giving him a kiss on the cheek. After that they dug in and started to eat their fill until the majority of the food was gone. "That was so tasty! Thank you Kent, this was a wonderful trip!"
"Well, it's not over yet, don't you want to just sit here and take in the view together?" Kent offered.
"Of course I do. Let's get comfortable then!" So they snuggled up together and just watched the scene on the lake as they talked to each other about this and that, joking together and just speaking what came to their minds. Eventually though Kent felt like it was the right time for him to finally pop the question. So he shifted around so that he and Carrie could look at each other as they spoke.
"Carrie, there is something I've been wanting to talk to you about." Kent started out slowly, trying to calm his rapidly increasing heartbeat. "Something important, regarding our future together as a couple."
"You know you can tell me anything right?" Carrie assured him, though she had read enough romance novels to know where he might be leading this conversation and it was getting her excited as well.
"I know." Kent confirmed. "I know a lot of things about you Carrie, and I know a lot of the feelings I have for you are true. I know I that I love you, more than I've loved anyone else before, and that's why I wanted to give you this and ask you a question." As he said that he took the ring box out from where he had it hidden and opened it up to show the ring to Carrie. "Carrie, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" His proposal was short and to the point, but Carrie could tell he had been working on it for a while. It was so very in character for him that she couldn't help but pull him closer into a hug.
"Of course I will!" She exclaimed happily. "Kent, I love you so much as well, and I can't imagine my life without you anymore. I want to learn so much more about you and I want to spend as much time as I can with you to deepen our love together. I never thought a girl like me could fall in love with a knight and have him love me back, but I'm so very glad that I did. You've made me so happy today Kent, I love you! I love you! I want to love you for as long as I can!"
"Carrie, you don't know how happy I am to hear that." Kent replied in a very relieved voice. "It feels like a large weight has been lifted off my shoulders knowing that you want to move on with our relationship like I do. I promise that I'll do everything I can to have a wonderful wedding with all of our friends joining us. And I promise to be the best husband that I can be as well."
"I know you'll do your best as you always do." Carrie assured him. "You always take things so seriously, but this is one of those things where that is very comforting. I always know you're going to be there for me when I need you because you are so reliable in so many ways. And honestly, it doesn't have to be a big wedding, just our families and our close friends would be nice."
"That does sound nice. It's been a long time since I've seen a few people and I'm really looking forward to it." Kent noted. "I hope you don't mind Sain being my best man."
"As long as you're okay with Lyn being my maid of honor." Carrie replied back.
"I couldn't think of anyone better to make things easier for you." Kent commented. After that they snuggled together some more in comfortable silence, just watching the lake and holding each other close, until the sun started to set. "We should probably get back soon."
"Yeah, we should." Carrie agreed. "Thank you again Kent, this was the best way I could have spend the day, and it's all because of you."
"I could say the same thing about you." Kent replied softly back. So they got dressed back in their normal clothes and rode back to Caelin castle as the sun was going down. By the time they had put their horses in the stables and made it back to Kent's room it was nighttime, but the night was still young for the recently engaged pair.
"Soooo, should we take a bath first or should we get busy on the bed first?" Carrie wondered with a teasing voice.
"I'd say bed first and then a bath, that way we can clean off like earlier today." Kent answered.
"I was hoping you'd say that!" Carrie said with a smile. "Let's skip the foreplay though, I think we got enough of that earlier as well."
"Sounds good to me." Kent noted. "How do you want to do it tonight?"
"You should lay on your back and then I'll get on top of you so you don't have to do that much, my lovely fiancée." Carrie teased him.
"As you desire my lovely future wife." Kent teased back. So they got undressed and not that much later they were in the agreed upon position with Carrie about to lower herself onto Kent's erect shaft. "Is it a safe day today?" Kent asked as usual.
"I believe it is, but even if it isn't, we're getting married, what could go wrong?" Carrie wondered.
"What indeed, what indeed?" Kent replied back before they spent the rest of the night together, the first of many more that would follow in the future.
