Talia knelt on the floor in front of Alec's bed, naked but for the black leather collar she wore around her neck. Her hands rested on her thighs whilst her long blonde hair fell in a single, tight plait down her back. Her knees were aching slightly, the wooden floor pressing into her bare skin, but she did not mind the pain. Alec had told her to sit there and she would obey him.
She felt sad as she looked around the room that had become her home for the past few nights. They would be returning to the capital later that morning, leaving the Vale and the magic of their secret weekend far behind. The thought made her ache inside. The idea of returning to her duties, of the fake smiles and forced conversations with sleazy politicians and self-serving diplomats, making her feel more like a prisoner than a Princess. The irony of feeling imprisoned at home given her current position, was not lost on her.
A noise outside the room drew her attention and she instinctively sat up a little straighter. A moment later the door to the bedroom opened and Alec strode into the room. He was dressed in smart black travelling clothes, his dark hair swept back above his grey eyes. He walked past her without saying a word, a letter held in one had which he read as he opened his wardrobe to retrieve his coat. He seemed oddly tense but Talia kept her gaze on the wall in front of her, waiting patiently as he finished reading.
"I have to make a stop on the way back to the capital," he said at last, his tone laced with frustration.
She risked glancing round at him as he tugged on a knee-length overcoat of deep blue that contrasted sharply with his pale skin. The letter she noted was shoved into the side pocket of the coat.
"It shouldn't take long," he continued, turning around as she swiftly refocused her gaze on the wall opposite the bed. "But I think it best we not be seen travelling together."
She nodded, swallowing a lump in her throat that she couldn't explain. "Is it far?" she asked tentatively. "I could wait here. You could go to your meeting and come back for me. We could even wait and go back to the capital tomorrow."
His boots echoed on the floorboards as he walked around the bed to stand in front of her. She closed her eyes as he brushed her cheek with his fingertips, his skin cool against hers as he brushed a stray strand of hair behind her pointed ears. "We have already stayed a day longer than we should have, Talia," he chided her. "The illusion that I placed on your handmaiden could wear off any day now. Besides, the people of Everdale must be missing their favourite Princess."
She groaned softly as his fingers brushed her lips, the rest of her body desperate to feel his touch. In that moment she didn't think she would care if the Kingdom found out that she had absconded with Alec, but then she thought of Melissa and the punishment she would face if it was discovered that the Princess had been absent from the castle for the past three days without anyone knowing.
"Fine," she said glumly. "Is there somewhere I can wait for you whilst you finish your meeting?"
He looked down at her, his lips turning up at the corners in a smile that sent a shiver of excitement down that spine. She knew that smile well, and what followed was usually entirely pleasurable.
"Up," he ordered.
She stood as instructed, placing her hands behind her back as Alec went to the bedroom door and retrieved a box from the corridor outside. He placed the box on the bed and nodded for her to open it. She slid the lid off the box, setting it to one side as the excitement continued to build within her. Inside the box was a bodysuit of glossy black fabric. She picked it up carefully, noting how the material stretched which was a good thing given that at first glance it appeared several sizes to small for her. A double gold zipper ran from the collar at the back of the suit all the way down the back and over the crotch area. She looked down at the box, noticing that there were other items in the box; half a dozen straps of black and gold, some kind of leather corset and what appeared to be a mask made from the same strange fabric as the bodysuit.
"Put it on," Alec instructed.
Her heart beating a little quicker than usual, she carefully unzipped the suit and stepped into it. It was awkward to put on. The strange fabric clung to her skin and she had to keep tugging and stretching it over her legs and then her body. The suit was tight but not uncomfortable. It felt more like a second skin than a piece of clothing and as Alec gently zipped the back up she felt it cinch her waist, the stretchy, glossy fabric moulding seamlessly to the curves of her breasts and hips.
"Now these."
She turned to Alec who was holding out a pair of knee-high boots, the heels glinting with gold whilst the lace-up tops shone with the same glossy sheen of the bodysuit. She pulled them on, the bodysuit creaking softly as she best over to fasted the laces one after the other.
"Good," Alec said approvingly.
She shuddered as he moved behind her, his fingers, digging into her hips as she felt his breath on her neck. She arched her back, backing her hips into his hardening cock, hoping he would take the opportunity to bend her over and fuck her. but instead he pulled her arms behind her back and began to bind them in the corset. She winced as he cinched the leather tight about her arms and hands, looping two straps over her shoulders and around her breasts. The corset forced her arms together in an unnatural position, causing her to arch her back and thrust her tits out in front of her.
"Comfy?" he teased.
"Not particularly," she muttered.
"This is called an armbinder," he told her, tightening one of the straps in order to illicit another gasp of discomfort from her. "You'll be used to it by the time we're back in the capital."
She groaned, her arms already aching from the thought, but Alec wasn't done with her yet. He pushed her forwards, driving her face into the soft sheets of the bed, and she felt him gently open the zipper over her crotch. She bit her lip, moaning softly as his fingers grazed her pussy. She knew she was already wet. Alec had that power over her.
Something cold splashed against her ass and she held her breath as she felt the now familiar sensation of a plug being pushed into her ass. This one was bigger than normal and she dug her fingernails into her palms as her asshole stretched to accept it.
"Fuck!" she hissed into the sheets.
She thought that would be it but then suddenly Alec was sliding something into her pussy as well. She flinched in surprise, his fingers digging into her hips in warning as he eased the zipper shut over her crotch.
"What was that?" she asked, feeling both things settle inside her as she stood up.
He smiled at her as he attached her lead to her collar. "A surprise," he said simply.
She watched him turn around and walk out of the room, tugging her along behind him. She took one last glance at his bedroom before following him dutifully out into the hallway and through the manor house. She would miss Alec's home. Yes it was dark and a bit spooky but it was also warm and cosy compared to the vastness of the Royal Palace. She hoped one day she would return.
