Gwennalyn opened her eyes to a wet pressure on her shoulder. Zephyr was standing over her prone form, snuffling at his owner.
"I'm awake," she groaned, rolling over to pat him on the head. She used him as leverage to bring herself to her feet, her sore body complaining.
The sky was streaked with red, the sun setting already.
Damn, I need to get home! I'll miss the feast...
She rooted around for her clothes. Her tunic was torn, but when she fastened her vest over it, the tear was covered. In just a few minutes, she was fully dressed. The burbling of a nearby brook reached her ears, and although she was tempted to go wash up, she knew she needed to get home.
By the time she reached the castle, it was dark. She reached the royal stable, and gave Zephyr to the young stable hand. The guard nodded at her as she slipped into one of the private entrances; she hoped he would not recognize her as the princess.
She reached her room without incident. Deiara was at her sitting room table, tapping her fingers impatiently on the smooth marble.
"Where have you been?!" she asked, hurrying over to Gwennalyn, eyes widening at the state of the princess, face streaked in dirt and sweat, clothes rumpled.
"Long story," Gwennalyn said. "What happened with the feast? Are my parents angry?"
Deiara shook her head. "I told everyone you were feeling ill."
She nodded. "Thank you."
"What happened?" the anxious handmaiden asked.
"I'll tell you later," she said. "Please draw a bath for me."
"Ok. But then I have to head down to the feast, talk to those who you were supposed to charm."
Gwennalyn rolled her eyes. A large part of her was fine with being out so late, since she avoided the dull niceties of the feast.
She headed up the steps to her bedroom. When she pushed open the door, she had to stifle a groan.
"Hello, my love," Lucien said from the sill.
She smiled and curtsied.
"Your handmaiden said you were ill," he said, coming over to her, concern entering his expression at her state.
"I went for a ride," she explained, "they usually help me feel better. Zephyr threw me."
"Are you okay?"
She nodded. "Just bruised."
Lucien smiled. "Wonderful. Did the ride at least help you feel better?"
"Unfortunately, no."
"Perhaps I can help you feel better," Lucien offered.
She shook her head, inwardly groaning again. "No thank you, my love, I need to rest."
Lucien smiled, as if relieved, and headed towards the door.
Gwennalyn watched him go, her husband-to-be moving quickly, as if wanting to leave before she changed her mind. She did not want to marry him, and was certain that he felt the same way. A strange boldness came over her, inspiring her to move after him.
"Lucien?"
He turned, raising an eyebrow. "Yes, my love?"
"As we are to be husband and wife, we need to be honest with each other, yes?"
He nodded. "Yes, my love."
"So I shall ask you a question, and I hope you will be honest: do you want to marry me?"
Lucien hesitated. "It is my duty."
"That does not answer my question."
He hesitated again.
"Be honest," she said, putting a friendly hand on his shoulder, "I will not be offended."
Lucien sighed. "You are very pretty, and charming. But I don't want to marry you."
She smiled. He seemed confused at her reaction.
"I feel the same way," she said. "I am sure some delightful lady would be glad to have you, but I do not want to marry you."
He winced slightly, just enough for her to pick up on it.
"But perhaps a certain love can grow," she continued. "Or at least trust."
"Perhaps," he murmured.
"Good night," she said, patting his shoulder. He nodded, and left, seeming pensive, as if considering what she had told him. Gwennalyn sighed, feeling somewhat better about their future union, that he could at least be honest with her.
She headed to the washroom, where her bath awaited. Steam came off the water, beckoning her in. She quickly disrobed, leaving her clothes off to the side. The soothing warmth teased her soreness as she lowered herself into the water. A few bruises littered her nude body, from the orcs' rough treatment of her. Her mind began to summon the memories, and her body reacted quickly. She bit her lip as her hand met her slit, swollen and leaking globs of orc seed. She had to remind herself that she had to clean up here. Once she was back in her bedroom she could pleasure herself again and again.
Gwennalyn washed up, the warm water and cleansing soap working wonders for her body. After washing off the dirt and sweat, she spent a good few minutes cleaning up her quim. The orcs had put a lot more seed into her than she had thought. She briefly wondered if the white blossom tea worked on orc seed as well as human seed. Once her quim was clean, she took time to relax in the tub. It took a certain amount of restraint to not let her hand wander down to her slit.
After a little while, she climbed out of the tub, wrapping a cloth around herself. She sat next to the tub, giving herself time to dry off. As she reclined, yet again the memories of the day came to her. She remembered the way the orcs treated her, the way they spoke about her like she was some object for them to use. It made her blush, her body warming, and quickly she was reminded of her reaction to their behavior, at the memory of how she had orgasmed multiple times while they defiled her.
Princesses aren't supposed to act like that.
She at least had some solace in the fact that the orcs would just think she was a random woman.
Once dried, Gwennalyn headed back to her bedroom. The clothe hit the floor, and she clambered onto the bed. Her body was less sore, soothed by the warm water, but she could still see various bruises. Her thighs had a few round spots, where her pale skin was stained blue. One wrist had a mottled green spot, and one leg had a round, light-yellow bruise. Despite the ache that radiated from them, they reminded her of her trials with the orcs, of how good she had felt being their plaything.
Her hand drifted down to her slit, brushing across her heaving belly. This time she did not stop the downward trek, only shivering and spreading her legs. Soft sighs spilled from her parting lips as a finger brushed along her lips. That finger took a long time to trace along the slit, collecting the dew that formed there. She shivered, her body reacting to that delicate touch. Gwennalyn closed her eyes, sinking into the silk sheets as her mind replayed her debasement over and over again. The memory of being used like a cheap whore made her body jerk in pleasure. Those thick cocks had possessed her body, filling her mouth, her quim, her ass, reducing her body to a simple tool.
As she stroked her slit, her other hand slid up to her breasts, caressing the heated flesh. She bit her lip as she caught her nipple between two fingers, rolling the straining bud, tweaking it a bit too hard. That quick pain sent more sparks through her body.
