Mia sank back into the downy pillow, her heavy breathing subsiding. Beside her the pink, flushed face of princess Lianna emerged from beneath the blankets, her red hair dishevelled and a twinkle in her eye. The princess moved closer, taking Mia in her arms and pulling her into a close embrace. Mia turned her head and whispered into her lovers ear.
"Thank you Ma'am" her voice was airy, her breathing not fully calmed. She felt that she could still sense the warmth of Liana's tongue where it had been between her legs. Liana did not reply, but held her closer, cheek to cheek, their naked bodies intertwined. Mia thought how strange it was that she was here, sharing a bed with the princess. It had been a month since she had become her bedmaid, and in truth the relationship was hardly that of a mistress and her servant anymore, they were lovers now, although they still had a lot of fun assuming the old roles and Mia still liked to call Liana Ma'am. Strange as it seemed that she should be a princess lover, it felt natural and that brought a happy smile to her face.
It was early morning. The sun shone in through the lacey curtain of Liana's room. The pair lay in each other's arms for a long time, but eventually Liana pulled away and rolled over onto her back, reaching out for a little bell that sat on the bedside table. Lucy would already be waiting, probably getting impatient by now for the sun had risen some time ago. Before Mia had started sharing Liana's bed the attendant would simply have walked in by now and woken the princess herself. These days she let them have their mornings together. Liana rang the bell and sure enough Lucy entered the room almost immediately, she had been waiting by the door. Lucy liked to complain about Liana's late rising from time to time, but the princess knew she didn't really mind, Lucy was never without a book to read and she was always glad of a quiet moment.
Lucy smiled warmly at the couple as she performed a small curtsy to Liana and gave a nod to Mia, all the while holding the tray in her hands steady. Lucy was perfectly presented as always, her neat blonde hair framing her face then curling into two wide ringlets that fell prettily on her shoulders. Her feline ears were perked up and the tip of her tail flicked gently from side to side. Mia was often amazed that Lucy could look so perfect so early in the day and had to remind herself that not only was she a beastkin, and thus not in need of so much sleep, but she was also a mage and according to Liana used a spell to arrange her hair.
Lucy approached the bed and offered the tray to Liana. It held a delicate silver coffee pot and two small cups, as well as two cups of water and a little silver lidded bowl. Liana sat up to take the tray, unashamed at showing Lucy her nakedness. She placed the tray over her lap then washed her mouth out with some of the water and Mia, also sitting up now and similarly comfortable in front of Lucy did the same. Liana poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Mia, who blushed a little as she took it, feeling that it should be her doing the serving. Once Liana had poured her own cup and taken a long sip she turned to Lucy who was standing beside the bed watching the couple with an affectionate look. Lucy was very pleased with the match.
"Is there any news for me this morning Lucy?" Asked Liana, her tone making it quite clear that she hoped there wasn't.
"Nothing urgent." Replied Lucy. She never called Liana M'lady in private as she did in public. "Your father will want you to take lunch with him as there are guests, but he plans to take them hunting for a few days so you won't have to join them for anything other than lunch."
Liana sighed and took another sip of her coffee, then she spoke. "I suppose it's not too bad. Thank you Lucy. I'd like to take a bath this morning, could you have one drawn for me?"
"Of course." replied Lucy with a smile and she turned and left the room. Once she was gone Liana turned to Mia and spoke.
"I want to ask you something Mia, and it's very important to remember that you are free to say no, I won't mind at all and I'll never ask again."
Mia, immediately curious, nodded her understanding.
"Before I met you, me and Lucy used to share a bed some nights, and do other things as well. It was never like you and me, we were always just friends, but it was fun. Lucy is very skilled and she can do things with her magic. I wondered if you would be interested in having her join us sometime. I'm sure she would like to, though you don't need to worry if you aren't interested, she has other people and she's not the jealous type at all. She's very happy we have each other."
Mia didn't answer immediately. She had always assumed that Liana and Lucy had done such things. She'd actually lain awake at night imagining just that quite a few times before she and Liana had become close, it had always been an appealing thing to think about. When she thought about the suitors that pursued Liana's hand she always felt a little sick, but when she thought of Lucy and Liana she felt something quite different.
Liana had an anxious look on her face that seemed out of place on one who was usually so confident. She was concerned that Mia might be upset by the question. She wouldn't have asked if she wasn't fairly sure Mia would be interested, but it was nerve wracking, if she was wrong it might feel very hurtful.
Seeing the princess's anxious expression Mia smiled and answered.
"I think it's a very good idea. You know, I used to fantasise about the two of you sometimes." Mia blushed a little as she answered.
Liana laughed as her anxious expression fell away into a relieved smile.
"I was sure you'd be interested. I really wouldn't have asked otherwise."
The pair smiled at each and Liana leaned over and place a soft kiss on Mia's cheek, making her blush, then the princess put down her coffee cup and spoke again.
