A/n- I really need to stop making Part 1's and actually finish a series one of these days. Either way, something new and interesting. This first part might be tame by my standards, but the next parts will be pretty kinky in my opinion, if/when I get to them.
The Commission Files- File #704 Treetop Getaway Day 1
Characters: Rutger, Lilina, Clarine, Dorothy, Roy, Guinevere
Based on: a commission by kumi_art on Twitter
"Hey, you two made it!" Clarine said excitedly as Rutger and Lilina walked up to the meeting place that they had decided on a few weeks earlier. Clarine had invited them along with some others to a private Etrurian getaway that was actually quite hush-hush so they had to be a bit secretive about everything. In fact from where they were standing you couldn't see the location because a large magical barrier was in place to make it look just like a normal forest.
"And I made sure to cover our tracks as well so no one followed us." Rutger replied. "So we should be good on that front."
"Oh, and you're here too Dorothy, what a nice surprise!" Lilina said flashing the other woman a bright smile.
"Thank you Lady Lilina, it's nice to see you again as well." Dorothy replied calmly, but with her own smile as well. Rutger was surprised to see Dorothy here as well, seeing as this was supposed to be a couples getaway, though he wasn't opposed to getting straight to the point as usual.
"So, are we to assume that you two are here together?" Rutger asked Clarine. "Nothing against that of course, it's just kind of a surprise honestly given how obsessed you can be about things being 'proper' and such."
"I expected it might be a bit of a shock to the both of you, but yes, Dorothy and I are together as a couple. We've been together for about a year actually." Clarine explained.
"It's still a bit of a shock to me as well, a woman such as Clarine being interested in a plain woman such as myself? Sometimes I still think I'm dreaming." Dorothy added.
"Well, we're happy for you." Lilina said speaking for both her and Rutger. "Finding someone special is one of the best feelings in life."
"And while I might be assuming here, having parents that accept your decisions is good as well." Rutger added.
"Yes, my parents are quite happy about all of this as well." Clarine confirmed. "And even if they weren't, they have my brother to continue the family line with Tate anyways. Honestly we don't even have to hide much because I'm the secondborn, so it's quite nice."
"Lord Pent and Lady Louise are wonderful people." Dorothy commented and Rutger nodded knowing that very well. "What about the other couple joining us, did you see them?"
"Yeah, where are Roy and his guest? I need you all to be here so I can explain things before we can get into the resort." Clarine agreed.
"I'm here! I'm here!" Roy called out from a bit in the distance. It seemed like he had been in a rush so the group split the difference and walked towards him so he could rest some. "Whew, that was quite a jog."
"What has you running like this Roy? And didn't you invite someone to come with you?" Lilina wondered, a bit worried about her best friend.
"About that." Roy started as he caught his breath some more. "Rutger, I need to talk to you, privately."
"Um, alright." Rutger replied a bit confused as why Roy was making such a big deal about whatever this was. So the two of them walked a bit away from the group so they could be alone. "So, what's up?"
"Okay, so you know how I haven't been too specific about who exactly I've been in a relationship with?" Roy asked.
"Kind of." Rutger noted. "Didn't really pay it much mind, figured I'd find out who it was eventually and if they made you happy I'd be fine with it. Like, what's the big deal? You think I'm gonna hate her or something?" He added the last part with a slight chuckle, but he could see in Roy's face that his joke hit a bit more closer to home than he had expected.
"Maybe." Roy answered a bit timidly.
"Well, you won't know unless you tell me." Rutger stated, still not quite having a clue as to who it could be. All the people he hated were dead, at least that he knew of.
"It's Guinevere, the Queen of Bern." Roy finally stated after a bit of silence. But then he started to speak quickly before Rutger could reply. "Look, I know how you feel about Bern, I really do, but Guinevere isn't like that. She didn't approve of what her brother did and she's working on making amends for everything he did and I really think if you give her a chance that-" After a bit Rutger just put his hand over Roy's mouth to shut him up so he could speak.
"Roy, you don't have to worry about it." He stated calmly. "I know Guinevere is a good woman, I've seen what she's been doing in Bern and I saw what she did during the war. I may still have some deep seeded feeling against Bern as a nation as a whole, but I respect her. And if she makes you happy then I'm okay with that." When he was done talking he pulled his hand back so Roy could respond.
"Really, just like that?" Roy wondered.
"Yeah, just like that." Rutger confirmed. "Look, we've both grown in the last couple years and we've both matured, at least I would like to think we have. I've moved on for the most part. Yeah it still hurts, but there really isn't much anger is going to do about it. Plus I trust your judgement Roy, I always have. I know if this wasn't good for you or for Elibe you wouldn't be doing it. I'm just wondering why you didn't tell me sooner."
"Well, I was looking for a good opportunity, but I was kind of scared of your reaction obviously and we have been trying to keep this a bit secret as well." Roy explained. "We honestly just came out to the Bern royalty recently, and we wanted things to spread at a controlled pace."
"Yeah, that makes sense with everything that's happened between Bern and Lycia." Rutger noted.
"So when Clarine said that this getaway was private we figured this was the perfect opportunity to enjoy ourselves without having to worry about being found out." Roy added.
"Alright, that answers all my questions." Rutger said with a smile as he put his arm around Roy's shoulder. "Why don't we join back with everyone else so we can finally see what this place is all about?"
"Sounds good to me." Roy replied. "And thank you Rutger, for being a good friend and being cool with all of this."
"Hey, what are friends for?" Rutger teased him slightly. So they walked back to the group and when they got there Guinevere was already talking and greeting the other girls.
"I knew it! I knew it!" Lilina said to Roy as she walked up to him. "I knew you were in a relationship with Guinevere, I could just tell."
"Oh, and there was that." Rutger added. "Every letter you sent to Ostia she just kept saying she knew it was her, so I've been kind of prepared for it."
"Well, I guess I should have known with someone who knows me so well." Roy noted, getting everyone to laugh. After that they all walked together to where Clarine said the entrance was, but she stopped the group before they entered.
"Alright, time to tell you all the rules of this place." She stated. "So, like I told all of you this resort is very, very private. Anything you do in here will not get out into the rest of Elibe, short of murder or anything like that. And we in Etruria take this very seriously. Like if you leak information from out of here, you will get hunted down and tried in court. Even you Guinevere."
"Yes, I have a bit of knowledge of this resort seeing as our families are distantly related, and I don't plan on doing anything to cause Elibe any more trouble." Guinevere confirmed. "I'm just here to have a nice relaxing and calm romantic getaway with Roy since we don't ever seem to get any alone time anywhere else."
"Good. Another thing about this place is that every Etrurian noble only gets to come here once during their life, which also means that you all probably won't get to come here ever again unless you befriend more Etrurian nobles. So I suggest that you do everything you want to do during this visit since it may be your only time here." Clarine continued. After that Rutger raised his hand to ask a question. "Yes?"
"You said that everything that goes on in there is private, but is there anyway to know if someone has been here before?" Rutger asked. "Say, like, my parents? Since they were close to your parents and all."
"It depends." Clarine answered. "When you leave you are allowed to leave gifts for people you think might come at a later date, so if your parents came here and left you a gift then you'd find out. Otherwise there really isn't any record keeping of non Etrurians who visit."
"That's fair I suppose." Rutger noted.
"Okay, anything else?" Clarine asked. No one really had anything else to ask so they were ready to head in. "Alright, let's have some fun then!"
"Hey, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Lilina asked Rutger as they fell to the back of the group for a moment.
"I think so. If you're thinking about letting loose and trying to get into everyone's pants." Rutger replied.
"I am actually, how did you know?" Lilina teased him. "Just wanted to be on the same page before we got in." After that Clarine led them into the resort and behind the magical barrier was an amazing sight. When they walked in they saw some of the most beautiful scenery that they had ever seen in their lives. Everything looked absolutely bright and perfect. There were small buildings scattered around with flowers growing on them, pools of what looked like natural water were dotted all about, but what was the real attraction was the huge tree in the middle. It was the biggest tree that any of them had ever seen in their lives, but it wasn't just that. There were rooms built into the branches of the huge tree and rope bridges to get from each one along with rope ladders to get up and down. There were even staff users towards the bottom with Warp staves that could get you up the tree as well.
"Whoa, this is much bigger than I was expecting." Dorothy commented about the tree since Clarine had told her a bit about it before they arrived. "It's safe up there right?"
"Of course!" Clarine replied. "This place is on the cutting edge of magical and practical technology! Running water, waste disposal, warp magic, entertainment, safety. The only other place that might have this one beat is Arcadia, but even then they didn't seem to be using much of their knowledge. And ever since my father retired from being the Mage General a lot of his magic research has gone to improvements to the resort."
"This place is amazing, I can't believe so many people can keep this a secret." Roy commented in wonder.
"Thank you for inviting us here Clarine, this is amazing." Lilina added.
"Of course, why wouldn't I invite my closest friends to a place like this, you only get chances like this once in a lifetime and we should get to experience it while we're still decently young!" Clarine replied happily. "Now before I let you all go we have to check in." So she led the group to the check in desk and got the process started. It took a few minutes to do the paperwork and a few more for it to get processed.
"Well, it looks like we have gifts from previous visitors for five of you." The woman at the desk told them when she came back. "First, a gift basket of assorted items for Lady Clarine from her parents."
"Ooh, I wonder what's in it!" Clarine said taking it but not looking inside quite yet as to be polite to the others.
"Next, a bracelet made from black pearls said to increase one's charm for Lord Roy from his godparents."
"Hey, that means your parents were here!" Roy said with a bit of excitement as he took his gift.
"Yeah, I wonder what they left you." Lilina noted.
"Next, two bottles of Etruria's finest wine along with glasses to go with it for Lady Lilina from her godparents."
"Your parents had good taste." Lilina teased Rutger as she took her gift. "I think we'll be able to use these well, don't you think?"
"For sure." Rutger answered with a smirk.
"Up next, a number of fine red outfits and a letter for Rutger from his parents."
"A letter?" Rutger wondered. "That's actually very thoughtful of them." He took the outfits and saw they were a mix of some Sacaen ones with some others that were more Lycian and Etrurian in style, along with a new pair of swim trunks."
"Are you going to read the letter?" Roy asked, wanting to know what Mark and Lyn had to say as well since he missed them almost as much as Rutger did.
"Is that okay with everyone?" Rutger asked and of course everyone nodded in agreement. "Okay, let's see what they said."
Dear Rutger,
Hopefully you are getting to read this at a happy point in your life, we know that we're writing it in one of ours. We hope that when you get to visit this place it's with close friends and with the person you care about the most. This place is amazing and we know that you'll have a lot of fun with your friends and meeting new people as well. And if you're wondering how we got your clothes size right (We're writing this when you're 5) we got the measurements from a version of you in another Outrealm we met once. Hope you have a wonderful time and we look forward to the next time we see you.
Sending our love as always,
Your parents, Mark and Lyn
Of course there was a few tears running down Rutger's face once he was done reading it, but they were mostly tears of joy at getting to feel his parent's love once again. He was really glad that they left him a letter like this that he would treasure for the rest of his life.
"I know I don't know a lot about your situation or parents, but from just hearing that I can tell that they loved you very much." Dorothy told Rutger, finally understanding a bit more why he was so angry during the way.
"They did, and thank you." Rutger noted as he dried his eyes and tried to smile. "But don't let my sappy moment bring the mood down, don't we have one last gift to get?"
"Oh, that's right." The receptionist noted. "Finally, we have a really cute stuffed fox plush for Queen Guinevere from her late brother."
"It's, it's quite cute." Guinevere noted as she took it, her own emotions flooding into her mind. They weren't as upbeat and positive as Rutger's were, but she knew better than to dwell on them now.
"Perhaps it was from a time before he lost confidence in himself and humanity." Roy suggested. "Back when he had hope for the future."
"Yes, I will believe that to be the case." Guinevere stated. "This is from the brother who loved the world and it's people, who wanted to make changes for the better." It was still a bit awkward after that though so the group finally decided to split up into pairs and take a tour around the resort to see what fun they could get into in the next couple of days. It was already getting to be sundown so they really couldn't do much other than that. Eventually they all found a set of rooms next to each other to stay in and started to settle in for the night.
"Well, this certainly has been a day hasn't it?" Lilina asked Rutger as they sat on the bed in their room. It didn't have a roof so you could lay down and just stare into the sky. And the magic barrier around the resort protected it from rain so you wouldn't get wet, though there were a few stray leaves here and there from the tree, but that added to the charm of the place.
"It has." Rutger agreed. "I think I'm gonna enjoy myself here. Though I am a bit shocked that Roy thought I was going to be upset that he was dating Guinevere." He admitted.
"Well, you know Roy as well as I do, he worries about everything just a bit too much until it's confirmed everything is alright." Lilina assured him. "Since you told him it's alright he'll be fine. But I wanted to ask myself, is it really fine?"
"Like I told Roy earlier, she didn't do all that stuff to me, her brother and his regime did." Rutger replied calmly. "And you and me both have seen how hard she's been working to make Bern a better and more understanding place for the betterment of everyone in Elibe. She is someone who deserves a lot of respect and doesn't get it, I'm not gonna hold a grudge against her when everything she's done has been the right thing to do."
"I hope you don't take this as me saying you aren't, but that's very mature of you Rutger, you've really grown since the war." Lilina noted.
"All thanks to people like you being in my life and supporting me." Rutger said softly back before nuzzling his head into her hair. "So, you wanna do anything tonight?"
"Honestly, I was wanting to crack open those bottles of wine your parents gifted me and take a nice long bath." Lilina answered. "With my favorite lifeguard of course."
"That sounds like a great idea." Rutger noted. "Plus we get to see just how good the water system Clarine explained is. Apparently the water is already hot when it comes into the tub and it only takes a minute or two for it to get filled."
"The wonders of technology." Lilina said with a giggle as she stood up and started to undress. "Makes you wonder if they had stuff like this in Arcadia before things went down."
"I'm sure we could always ask Fae or Idunn, they probably have some idea about the past." Rutger noted as he started to get undressed as well.
"We'll have to ask them if we ever end up in the desert again." Lilina joked. After that they walked over to the bathroom section of their room. One of the outside walls was missing, but in it's place was a large patch of branches that made it so no one could see what was going on inside, for the most part.
"Let's she, she said just turn the knob and- woah!" Rutger said turning the knob by the pipe above the tub. He was surprised at just how fast the water was coming down. And as he felt it he could tell it was quite warm as well. "This water feels really nice."
"Good, I hope it stays warm for a while, I want to take everything nice and slow." Lilina noted. So they filled the tub and got in together, Lilina resting against Rutger as usual. They uncorked the wine bottles and poured some glasses, putting them all down on a small table by the tub when they weren't in use. The taste was very sweet and refreshing, and of course the alcohol in the drinks helped them calm down as well.
"You know, one of my father's notebooks mentioned that if you drink a small cup of wine every day it can actually help steady your heartbeat." Rutger noted as he submerged most of his body in the warm water.
"Mark really did dabble in just about everything didn't he?" Lilina asked joining him.
"Well, when you had all the time he did out on the plains and a mind like his, yeah pretty much." Rutger replied. "I'm sure that there are a lot of things that he never even wrote down because he though he would have time later, Gods I wish he and my mother were still here with us."
"Me too." Lilina noted. "Of course I could never miss them more than you do, but they were almost like another set of parents for me. When my parents were busy they always had time for me and I can just remember their smiles as I told them about my day and what I had learned. I don't even think I saw them get angry, which is rare."
"I've told you before, but they rarely ever fought or even raised their voices at me." Rutger commented. "What they had was special, it's something I hope that we can continue to work on having and something we can teach our children to do as well."
"Rutger, I think that might be the first time you ever mentioned having children." Lilina pointed out.
"Hm, is it?" Rutger wondered. "Well, either way, I've been thinking about it recently so that's probably why it came out."
"Interesting." Lilina replied in a bit of a teasing tone. "I guess we'll have to have a real discussion about it sooner or later."
"Like you don't want to start a family." Rutger teased her back.
"Hey! I could have changed my mind!" Lilina lied. "But like I said, sooner or later, we're supposed to be having fun and relaxing here."
"Sure, sure." Rutger replied with a chuckle. But after that they did go silent and just relax for a long while just sitting in each other's embrace and enjoying the warmth of the water and the feeling of being so close to each other. That is until one of them couldn't take it any longer.
"Oh, screw it! Let's fuck!" Lilina said moving around into a better position. Rutger was a bit surprised, he figured they would just be taking a relaxing bath and talking like Lilina suggested. But of course he wouldn't turn down a round of intimacy with his smoking hot wife now would he?
"Can't resist me for more than an hour huh?" Rutger teased her. "But I guess I can get it up for you, just this once. How do you want to do it?"
"I was thinking anal actually, so I could get it from both ends if I use my fingers." Lilina admitted.
"Sounds good to me. Don't need lube or anything?" Rutger asked.
"I think the water has softened it up enough." Lilina replied as she smoothly lined herself up. "Yeah, that's the stuff."
"Just don't rock the tub too much, we don't want to break it or splash water on the lower levels." Rutger noted with a smirk.
"Well then, you're just gonna have to hold my other hand and the tub to keep us steady." Lilina teased him, offering him her other hand to hold.
"If I must." Rutger teased her. When they were in a stable position Lilina lowered herself onto Rutger's shaft, biting her lips in pleasure and anticipation as she did so.
"Elimine! This is going to be the best vacation ever!" She moaned when she was all the way down.
"And just think, this is only the first night of many."
