Sorry for the long delay in giving Elle the happy ending she so richly deserves. I thank the many readers who encouraged me to get off my butt and finish this adventure.
*****
The following day, Elle felt an inner elation unlike even her most blissful previous hours of slavery. She performed fellatio on her beloved prince, very much aware that later this same day, Duchess Paulina would, quite possibly, do the same thing. For reasons that Elle did not even attempt to understand, she possessed no fear that the blonde radiant beauty would steal Adam away from her. Indeed, she very much wanted to share him with the fetching royal. Even as she brought her Master to climax, Elle was contemplating the trim, pale beauty of Duchess Paulina. She very much wanted to share the woman's bed again, if the means to that ends was sharing her Master with her, so be it.
"Does not Master Adam share me with Roger Duken?" she explained to herself. "Is it then not more than fair that I share HIM?"
Elle swallowed Adam's cum then hurried through her regular duties so that she could hasten to aid Duchess Paulina in arising and preparing for her day. Prince Adam was quite inclined to assist his slave on her way. He shaved her privates quickly and efficiently, rather than taking his usual prolonged and leisurely time. Still, he kissed and licked his slave's secret place with relish. His mind filled with sudden curiosity as to what the alluring duchess looked like sans clothing. Was her pussy the same golden shade as the long locks tumbling past her shoulders? The duchess seemed to awake many new desires in Adam. The only woman he had ever encountered that approached her beauty, was his own devoted Elle. Her dark mane and Paulina's golden nimbus were equally enchanting. But would the pampered duchess, be as nimble between the sheets as Elle? Adam pondered that question. The thought of training Paulina to do the same things as Elle was quite beguiling. If he could not do that, the young prince rationalized, he would have Elle perform the "dirty" stuff and Paulina the "clean" stuff. Prince Adam swelled with pride at the realization that he might be so doubly blessed. That was of course if the duchess would have him. With more pride than was good or him, Adam then asked himself, "Who would turn me down? I'm practically a king!"
With a smile, Elle strode into the lovely visitor's chambers. The blonde duchess greeted the slave with a smile of her own. United in their conspiracy, Paulina and Elle chose a daring gown in Adam's favorite color and selected a complementary shade of nail lacquer and lipstick. Elle provided the duchess with all of Prince Adam's likes and dislikes which she was not already aware of. During all of this, the two women exchanged several deep and passionate kisses. Elle sought more but Paulina begged off.
"This day I am for Adam, Elle. We can exchange our gifts with each other at a later time. Yet, I will confess that I would enjoy nothing more than sharing my bed with you. However, we must BOTH keep our eyes focused on the prize!"
Prince Adam's eyes lit up when he spied Paulina entering the dining room. The decolletage of her shimmering gown exposed an enchanting, yet tasteful, expanse of ivory toned bosom. Only later did he note Elle standing three paces behind and to the left of her. Elle marveled as she watched the young royal work her wiles on her Master. Elle knew that she could never match the confidence and subtlety of the duchess as she overwhelmed Prince Adam and was soon leading him about much like a groomsman did a pony. Winning Elle's affections, even more, was the astonishing way in which Paulina included Elle in every conversation yet maintained all focus upon herself. Before very much time had passed at all, prince and duchess were exchanging deep lingering kisses.
Paulina later sang sweetly in her fine voice. Afterward, the three took a pleasant walk through the summer woods of the castle grounds. As they passed through a sylvan glade abutting a shimmering pond, Paulina stated quite sensually. "Perhaps, Adam, one day, we can go skinny dipping in this spot?"
A flummoxed Adam replied with a hearty, "Why wait?" and grasped the buttons of his tunic.
With a wave of her hand, the intriguing princess stopped the eager suitor.
"But darling Adam, such a thing cannot occur today. I have yet to receive a proper proposal and my ring finger is still quite naked. When it is dressed, WE shall undress!"
"That's not fair!" cried Prince Adam petulantly
"Perhaps not, my dear Adam, but it is the way of royalty and is the proper way a gentleman deports himself."
A completely besotted Adam fell to his knees on the spot and asked Paulina for her hand.
"Oh, my sweet, Adam, I would gladly have you, but your father must consult my father. A dowry must be agreed upon and an auspicious date for the nuptials chosen by the royal astrologers. Were that not the case, I would gladly allow you take me right here, under the eyes of God."
Duchess Paulina smiled, then, embraced Prince Adam and planted her most succulent kiss yet upon his lips. Once their lips parted Paulina whispered, "If it were permissible, I wish I could find some way to gift you with just a taste of my charms."
The statement, which was not a question and not exactly an invitation, was left unanswered aside from a single nod on the part of Prince Adam. With twilight approaching, the trio made their way back to the castle. At the dinner tables, Adam only had eyes for Paulina, oblivious to all other events. To Elle, it seemed like her young prince was drunk but he had touched very little of his wine. The other guests at the table, King Julius, and the queen were quick to note the moonstruck condition of their son. He seemed incapable of much more than polite "yes" or "noes" to even the most detailed questions Duchess Paulina was quite aware of the importance of impressing Adam's parents and was quick to regale them with stories and anecdotes that, she hoped, would endear herself to them. Certainly, having King Julius desirous of a match between the two blond royals would not hurt her case. Yet through it all, Paulina, with subtle touches and glances, kept Elle very much aware that the young duchess was just as infatuated with her as she was her Master.
Keeping the royal parents enthralled until late into the evening, Paulina made an impressive impact. Julius was absolutely sure that he wanted this fetching creature for his daughter-in-law and, if his son objected, he would insist upon the match. King Julius, however, though sometimes oblivious to his son's emotional state, clearly discerned that he was as taken with the trim blonde woman as he was himself. It was very late indeed when Paulina made her excuses, held her hand out for Elle and announced,
"Sires, I don't know when I have enjoyed myself more, however, it is time, I collect my beauty sleep. If you would assist me, Elle."
Paulina then leaned over and planted a chaste kiss on Adam's lips and whispered "Midnight" in his ear before rising and allowing Elle to lead her from the room. Once the two co-conspirators were out of earshot both giggled with delight and Duchess Paulina stated,
"What did you think of my performance, Pet?"
"I've known the prince for quite some time now and I have never seen him like THAT!"
"Men are such simple creatures, Pet." stated Paulina, "I've had them eating out of my hands since I was thirteen but Adam is the only one I could imagine spending an entire lifetime with and a big reason for that is you, Elle! All day I've waited until the two of us could be alone. I'll be taking you with me until the nuptials, you know."
A flabbergasted Elle replied, "What?"
"Certainly. I am permitted to ask the loan of one gift as a promissory note guaranteeing that a betrothal is forthcoming. Adam values nothing more highly than you. Further, a period of celibacy will be good for the prince. It will also prevent him from fantasizing about ME when he is with You! After a proper period of living like a monk, Adam will be so grateful for my affections during the honeymoon, that I will forever be able to lead him like a blind man's dog. He will also come into a new appreciation of you, Pet. I will make him treat you with even more kindness and, most importantly, under my parent's roof the two of us can delight in each others company without having to share Prince Adam. It will be my honeymoon before my honeymoon!"
"But Mistress", replied Elle, "is that not most unfair to my Master?"
"Oh, sweet sweet, Pet. This is a man's world. Men practice duplicitous diplomacy, men stumble into war," she looked meaningfully at Elle and continued, "men use innocent girls to ensure the peace for wars that never should have begun in the first place! What has all that maleness brought the world? Women should NEVER be ashamed to seek their own pleasures and their own peace in this man despoiled world. Prince Adam will retain his power everywhere, EXCEPT the bedchamber. I will be a dutiful bride, an engaging princess and, eventually the mother to kings. In exchange, should I not get what I want?"
"When you put it that way, Mistress, it sounds like a profound truth. But I was not raised that way."
"From what you have told me about your past, Elle, it is clear that your parents, while well meaning, intentionally kept you ignorant of many things. You have learned much as a slave. I can teach you even more. The sad irony of your situation is that only now, after being reduced to chattel, gifted like a toy, and responding to the love of men and women, you are far more fit to be a princess than you ever were AS one! I want you not only as a lover but as a friend. Sharing Prince Adam should be a delight for both of us ... and him! It is high time, however, that he learned the value of a woman's passions!"
In the guest bedchamber, Elle savored the satiny smoothness of Paulina's skin as she undressed her. Paulina's hands darted under Elle's own camisole. They kissed deeply and Elle was soon as naked as the duchess as she bathed her. At one point, Elle stepped into the tub and lowered her shaven privates to the lips of the blonde duchess. Elle squealed with delight at an orgasm that had been bubbling just under the surface all day long finally released itself. Although it was risky, at the conclusion of her bath, Paulina brought out the double headed phallus once more. This time, Elle assumed the superior position. As primed as Elle had been a few moments before, the duchess was not long in coming herself.
From a secret compartment in her luggage, Paulina produced a bit of gossamer fabric. Once dressed in it, Elle noted that the fabric barely concealed the duchesses trim body, being just opaque at the nipples and crotch. The front overlapped and tied loosely with a silk obi.
