Work Text:
Tonight, is like any other where Castorice is living in leisure in solitude. She's finally relaxing after a long day, looking back and honoring the memory of the very first time she had woken up, and managed to keep a flower in her hands without any sign of it withering.
The curse of death had been gone for quite some time now. Throughout those months, the sudden change didn't feel little at all; everything had become significantly happier ever since.
She could bid her farewell to the hundreds of past years that were lived with pain, sorrow, and coldness, sauntering around her, where she whispered to herself that the dead would rest easy after the graze of her fingertips. However, despite things being better now, this raises a vital question.
If the easiest method of silent death is no longer available, then what will it take to find the second in sake of keeping her needed role of an executioner?
Well, she had plenty of time to contemplate ideas on finding another method. It was easier than many would think, it's just that she hasn't had the time to fully discuss everything with all of the other heirs.
All except one…
Speaking of which, where was she right now? That's the bigger question for right now. Was she sneaking off into the cities, and stealing things, telling stories, or was she treasure hunting with bartholos?
Whatever she was doing, many people in Okema believed that her leisurely activities were fully selfish.
Castorice did not agree with this however; she knew the more vivid picture; the thief had lived in poverty for such a long time, stealing things for the sake of survival. However, it was only after a matter of time until greed eventually manifested in these habits, slowly luring the tendencies of lying and deception to form.
Her observations were still keen on her; noticing subtle differences in her actions towards her in comparison to others.
Say? Could it be because of being blinded by love, or was it something more than that?
It was the latter; flowers of evidence bloomed in the form of the numerical amount of romantic love poems she wrote about herself, and her. From simple dates, to exchanging kisses, she wrote it all.
Just like how she was doing so right now in the well furnished bedroom inside of her house. There was a lamp not too far away from where she was sitting, dimly luminating the room alongside a candle she had at her desk.
The flare gleamed just enough for her to see the paper, where her hand was gently drifting a quill across it, relieving her current emotions in bold. But soon, the letters become less full, and more raggedy due to the lack of ink. She keeps her eyes on the paper, before dipping the pen in the ink bottle.
At least she thought she was. She blinks a couple of times, then glanced over near the candle, suddenly realizing that the ink bottle on her desk was out of the picture.
In a haste, Castorice shot up from her seat for her search, twisting over and eyeing everything in her room. However, she caught track of a sudden difference in the set up, resulting in the reaction of a soft giggle, “I know you're here somewhere, lady Cipher.” She gets up, stepping to the center of the room, “Can you come out? I've been waiting to see you for quite some time now.”
Her elongated ears pick up a rougish laugh from nearby, she turns over, sauntering to the peculiar second lamp inside of her room.
Tapping it a couple of times, her head tilts, "Now where did this come from? I could have sworn that there was only one. Did you drop it off, lady Cipher?"
She keeps poking, hoping that it was just one of the thief's illusions. Then before she knows it, the lamp poofs into thin air.
She puts a hand to her chin, "Just as I ex-" her sentence suddenly cuts off, nearly flinching from a sudden embrace.
“Gotcha!” Cipher chirps, pulling her closer by the waist and snuggling herself up against her.
Castorice stifles a laugh; flattered by a sweet sense of comfort tickling her heart. She was finally here, all safe and full of spark just like usual.
Cipher wears a playful smirk, leaning closer to her ear, “Aww, seems like princess homebody can't contain herself, now can she?~”
Castorice's body gets tugged closer, pressing more firmly into hers, forming a few butterflies in her stomach. How could she ever get enough of her embrace? It was full of a love that caressed her heart, making her world brighter than ever.
She felt warm.
Almost too warm…
That's when her smile suddenly fades, not because she suddenly felt bad or anything, in fact it was quite the opposite.
Cipher loses her grin, “Wait… Cas, is something wrong? You're oddly stiff here.”
Castorice brushes her hair back, shaking her head before turning over, “No, of course not. I'm just not used to this much affection all at once.” Fondly, she wraps her arms around Cipher's shoulders, "To put it simply, I feel a lot from it.”
Cipher sighs in relief, “Alright, that's good.” She senses the unusual amount of heat, then pauses for a moment. Her tail moves a little bit in curiosity and she can't resist leaning closer, “I have to wonder though, just what kinds of feelings are you feeling right now?”
Castorice’s eyes widened, then her face turned to the side, attempting to hide the tint of red that was forming on her cheeks, “Well, there's… There's a lot right now.” She feels her body tense up, now beginning to get a bit impatient from the teasing and lack of time in cooling off. She wanted to express how the embrace gave her a hot flash, but now it felt like a few more additional ones had gone through her.
At first she was sure that it was just excitement, but now it was getting a lot more mixed up for her. Being clouded with confusion was a bother, and she was getting to the point of having enough of it.
Suddenly, an idea strikes her, and her eyebrows raise up. The adorable and flustered pout she once had with her, now changes into a smile full of pure seduction.
She secures her gaze with the teal irises that were full of wonder. Then, her hand gently brushes the silver strands away from the thief’s face, making it more visible. Her fingers graze the soft skin of her cheek before getting a tender hold of it, rubbing it with her thumb, “Of course not. I just needed a moment to cool off.”
Cipher's tail affectionately brushes its way around the maiden’s waist. She felt like she was getting lured in too deeply in those lilac irises, but then again she wouldn't see any sort of issue in doing so. She was alone, no one here would be able to witness her freeing out her emotions.
Castorice recognizes the dilation of her pupils, which told her everything she needed to know. Allured, she leans in closer, finally pressing her lips deeply into hers.
Cipher’s hand went up, and held her cheek, moving it closer in an elated response. She fastens her hold on Castorice, savoring every bit of her lips.
The kiss lasted for a few moments, then they both drew back. Cipher was now biting her lip, hardly able to contain herself. She held her gaze at her for a moment longer, then went in for another one.
They kept giving each other kisses, every one being more fervent than the last. The tension between them grew, with titillation racing in their veins. Sooner or later, both of them were making out compulsively, unable to hold back anytime soon.
During the exchange Cipher felt tempted to get a deeper taste of her skin. Her hand soothes its way over the maiden's collar bone, hidden beneath the pure white fabric of her nightdress.
Castorice nearly shivers in response, then gasps, feeling light grasp around her neck. She stifles a moan, and her hand creeps over to take hold. Her breath hitches again, urgently reminding herself and the other woman to stay in control.
Cipher couldn't guarantee in keeping her composure; temptation was bearing beneath her fangs. She let loose out of nowhere, moving and lightly biting the skin a couple of times, causing the other woman to stifle a moan. She draws back from her, "Aren't you just the cutest little thing when you're wanting me like this?~"
"Why are you holding back right now? Is it just because you wanted to tease me?" Castorice groans, pulling her back into another desperate kiss.
Cipher let's out a sharp sigh, and her grip on her shoulders tighten, but she had to resist. She couldn't risk drawing blood from her; she had to make sure she was safe just like the other times.
She's gone to a familiar length before in other sessions, but she swore to herself that she didn't feel the amount of hunger that she did now. Lust clouded her mind, leading her into a slight waltz with her. She went in a few directions with her steps, but she was still getting the maiden's heels closer to the bed, precisely as a way to make her less suspecting of when she was about to pounce on her.
However, Castorice picked up on this well.
Almost too well.
Despite being in such a daze with her, she was still rational enough to think of her next move. She just had to wait until the thief pounces.
Cipher suddenly springs forward, hoping to pin her down like she planned. However, she was met with an unexpected turn of events, eventually having herself be the one pinned down to the bed. She squirms beneath her frame, with heated emotions boiling up inside, “Huh… didn't think you had this one up your sleeve.”
“I think I know you a bit too well to fall for a trick like that.~” Castorice hums, gently sliding her finger closer to the other woman's mouth, “Although, I think you might be getting a little bit too worked up here. Anxious?”
Cipher’s head tilts back, her heart pounding faster, “Heh, nonsense. How could I ever be when it's with you?~”
“Then… would eager be the better word for it?” She inquires, inching her hand closer to her hood. She slides it down, hoping to snag a good response from her.
Cipher bites her lip, locking eyes with her and wearing a smirk, “You could put it that way.~”
Her finger slips down, tugging lightly at her collar, “Are you sure? Answer me honestly, Cifera.”
Her smile falters as her face reddens, both out of frustration, and arousal, “Listen, princess, I may have lied about a lot of things, but I can assure you that I have never- and I mean never, lied about how I feel for you. So take my word, would you?”
A lighthearted giggle escapes her, “I’ll take it. Good girl.~”
Her playful expression returns, and a heated breath escapes her, “Seems like princess homebody is really enjoying herself here.”
Castorice rewards her with another kiss, then slides her leg in between her thighs, “Well, how could I not? That's the point when you're doing something like this. Speaking of which, how do you feel right now, love?”
Teasingly, Cipher grinds a bit against her, “What do you think? The body doesn't lie, does it?~”
Castorice takes her answer, more than reassured by the ambition in her voice. Her hands meticulously trail up on the latex of her suit, in preparation to remove it.
She begins undressing her, unraveling each garment one by one. However, there was an end once her shoulders and collarbone were exposed, because her hand had immediately shot up to grasp her wrist.
Caught off guard, eyes dart up to meet her, then she notices that her smile was replaced with a much more serious expression.
Castorice lost her smile towards this, noticing a vulnerability in her eyes that she's never seen before. She just was about to say something to check in with her then suddenly, Cipher breathes out, “Cas, I need you to promise me something, before we go through with this.”
She swallows her spit, but keeps her composure regardless, “What is it?”
Her voice turns into something between a hiss, and a tone of worry, “I have never gone this far with anybody, so I advise you to be very cautious about your next move on me.”
In contemplation, she looks over to her side, “I see, it's just as I figured.”
“As you figured? Explain.”
“I mean this in regards to how you always hide your deepest feelings from everyone else, because you don't want to get hurt.”
Cipher sighs, unable to deny that she was right. She still wasn't sure about going through, which felt odd to her because she was usually the type to risk it.
She felt like whenever she did there wasn’t a whole lot to lose, but making love? That was such an intimate thing. She felt like she'd be throwing her heart on the line, so she had to be a hundred percent sure she could fully secure trust with someone for a very long time before proceeding with such an act. Her girlfriend was the only one here who she had done this with.
Castorice leans in, wrapping her arms around her to better console her, “I understand that you're nervous, and if this is too much, then we don't have to go any further. I want to make sure that you feel safe with me, and I mean this with my whole heart.”
Cipher loosens her grasp, her expression softening up in relief. She nods, “Alright, I’ll take your word on it.”
Castorice eases down the clothes past her chest, saving the rest of it for later. Her eyebrows raise up a couple of times, then she chirps, “I promise, it’ll be fun for us!”
“I could certainly call that from a mile away.” Cipher laughs out, her chest now fully exposed to the cool air of the room.
Heat was flaring up in Castorice's body over seeing her breasts. As good as it felt, it caused her subtle discomfort, so in response, she decided to go ahead and lift up her gown, which revealed everything below the panel of her abdomen. It was relatively toned, with a faint outline visible in the dim lighting.
The sight had Cipher's ears twitching in excitement; it was relatively toned, with a faint outline visible in the dim lighting. She tilted her head, “Risking it this early, are you, princess?~”
Castorice tosses her gown to the side, “I want to make sure you're not alone in exposing everything, it's nothing much, really.”
Cipher moves her chest a bit closer, trailing a hand on herself there with a sly grin on her face, “I’d keep an eye out if I were you. Wouldn't wanna get too distracted now, right?~”
A smirk leaves Castorice, as her fingers trickle their way across her shoulder blade, eventually heading down to cup her breast, before gently massaging it, “Hm, I’m sure I’ll find my way around things. I’ve learned just about every trick in the book up until now.”
“‘Just about.’ being the key words here.~” Cipher teases. She rests her eyes, letting out a moan of relief as the tension simmers down. She could admit to herself that now was the best time to bask in her lover’s warmth.
Castorice is gentle in her movements at first, but then suddenly notices that she looks a little too relaxed, almost like she was about to fall asleep. She'd let her rest easy for a little while, but then ended up growing firm as time moved on.
Her fingers circle around her nipple, before pressing inwards to hit her nerves. She reels out a light gasp from her, but it was clear that it wouldn't get her worked back up like earlier.
Knowing this, she decided to do both breasts simultaneously, mainly focusing on applying pressure the sensitive buds. She catches a few giggles and shivers out of her, then she leans in planting a soft, loving kiss in between them.
“Go ahead, go further on me. I wanna see just how much you can give to me, my princess.~” Cipher purrs, her face full of mischief and a deep craving for pleasure.
Castorice didn't even need her comment, because in the midst of it, her hand had already left to grasp the fabric of her suit.
The advance had Cipher holding back a gasp. Her heart was thudding rapidly against her chest now on the verge of panting over the fabric sliding down her thighs.
The whole thing was enough to have her panties soaked within a matter of time, and it was all visible through the fabric, leaving Castorice more than elated, “Now, should I do the honor, or should that be left to you?”
“Well, they're not gonna slide down themselves, are they?~” Cipher comments, then her tail taps her on the shoulder.
Caught off guard, Castorice looks over to where she felt the sudden touch, then groans after feeling a firm pinch on her nipple. She turns back to Cipher, who had a very telling smirk on her face. Oddly enough, that was all it took to provoke her into sliding the other woman's underwear right off.
Her hands then move up her thighs, spreading them open, with her fingers crawling slowly towards her pussy. They trace across her folds gently, stealing a gasp from her. She slides her index across the skin, collecting a string of the great amount of spit leaking from her pussy. She caught a quiver of her legs before practically threatening her clit.
“Heh, seems like I really riled you up there didn't I, princess?~” Cipher breathes out huskily. She was gazing at her with bedroom eyes, heart quickening within her chest, bursting inside to see what her next move would be.
Castorice leans closer toward, keeping a full fixation on her, “I’m only going to say this once, you can stay put where you are, and we can do things together gently, or you can try and sneak your way out of it with it ending in something more rough between us.”
She tilts her head at her, “Aww, is, princess homebody worried about how I can get her pinned down and squirming for me? Don't think that you can just make a mess out of me and run away with it. If I’m going down then you're going with me.”
“You’ll be able to return the favor sooner or later, you have my full consent on that. I would just prefer that I take care of you first since you recover your energy much faster than I do.”
“You have a fair point, but then again… what if I didn't?” Cipher raises a brow, her signature grin widening.
After noticing it, Castorice can't help but feel a little on edge with her now. This was also her first time she hoped to do things in a careful and controlled fashion, and up to this point, she was almost certain that her plan would happen one way or another, but now she's becoming a little unsure, “I’d choose my words very carefully if I were you right now, Cifera. One wrong sentence and this will end very badly.”
She developed what almost seemed like a crazed look in her eyes while her thighs and ears twitched in anticipation. A small laugh falls out, then she grips her by the shoulder, dragging her closer in hopes that it would make her believe that she could fleet away at any second, “Don’t threaten me with a good time, princess. I think both of us know by now just how badly I’ve been wanting to make love to you.~”
Castorice lets out a small laugh towards the comment, but it is by no means a sign that she is going to play nice. She presses a couple of fingers against the stiff and painfully sensitive bud of her clit, moving them in a circular motion.
She was gentle for a few seconds, then Cipher had a lightly strained moan slip out, once it did, she wasn't going to risk anymore words spilling out. She started getting more firm with her, striking every nerve faster with a devilish smile on her face.
It was satisfying to see the woman who was always playing games, and tricks on her for the upper hand, finally fall under her grasp. Her body was squirming on the bed, with her brow furrowed on her deeply flushed face, drowning in pleasure while moaning in between her labored breaths.
Every needy whine that left Cipher's lips had Castorice giving extra force into pushing her fingers against her bud, and she would continue doing this for the sake of playing around with her.
With a teasing smile, Castorice halts for a moment, “Seems like my dear Cifera’s really enjoying herself isn't she?~”
Cipher's hand tightens on her shoulder, on the verge of digging her nails into them as she hauled her closer with a borderline obsessive desire flashing in her eyes, “What's stopping you from going in fully? Come on now, I know you want to make a bigger mess out of me. That look on your pretty little face says everything to me.~”
Castorice brushes the sweat away from the other woman's forehead, then caresses her cheek fondly, “I have to admit, I think I shocked myself with how desperate I was able to make you right now.~ Overall, you're doing good for your first time.”
“I think I’m doing more than fantastic, but I get what you mean.~” Cipher whispers huskily, pushing her hips against her hand, in dire need of more affection.
In response, Castorice leans in, kissing her deeply. Then her hand trails back down to her clit, rubbing the highly sensitive skin with a lot of pressure. She found her breathing getting slightly labored with how aggressive she was right now. It felt like if it was heard, it'd be an noticed fracture in her composure.
Thankfully however, Cipher's moaning was loud enough to give it no chance of happening. Overall, she was getting closer to her climax, gripping the sheets, writhing, and pulsing needily.
However, just when it was about to hit, that's when Castorice stopped.
Cipher’s eyes flutter open, “Cas…? What's the hold up all of a sudden?”
She wanted to say something, but all she did was take her hand away, before putting it over her mouth, and giggling.
What was this? Was this some sort of golden opportunity for Cipher to get back at her? If it was, then she could admit that it was a bit humiliating, because in the end she wanted to follow through with the proposed plan, and let everything happen to her due to how good it felt.
“Considering that you're just on the edge at the moment, let's do something more… interesting to finish the job.~” Castorice purrs, before suddenly taking her legs over her shoulders.
“Oh, I think I see where this is going now.~” Cipher laughs in response, sliding her hips closer.
Castorice bites her lip; the slick leaking out of her pussy was more than enough to have her salivating. Her eyes rest as she gives in, slowly starting to lick around her folds.
Cipher shivers, getting wetter by the minute; not just because of Castorice's spit, but because of how desperately she needed her. She fastens her grip on the sheets, moaning needily while buckling her hips against her face.
Tongue sliding in and out, Castorice makes sure to take her sweet time on getting every end. She had her all to herself, so she was going to cherish every second of giving love and attention to her.
She presses a couple of kisses against her clit, then starts to suck lightly on it, resulting to her hips jolting forward against her face.
“Cas… Harder. Please, I’m so close.” Cipher begs, her eyes squeezed shut, writhing and panting in desperation.
She wasn't going to let her come so quickly though, so she took breaks in between intervals to coat every inch of her folds in her spit, sometimes fully making out with them. She sucked her clit like she'd die tomorrow, hoping that it would throb and ache worse than it did before after she finished. She felt herself lose control entirely, recklessly administering her a constant cycle of pleasure and stimulation.
It was all to the point where Cipher had her legs fully stretched out for her; her chest heaving up and down rapidly, her hands clasping the sheets to the extent of ripping the fabric, “Cas, please, I need every bit. I need to feel it, please. I need to feel you.” She moans needily. She loved every second of it, and most of all she loved her. She felt like she was experiencing a whole new side to her; something that felt like her most intimate part.
It had her on the edge, begging to burst out for her as hard as she could. Then before she knew it, she finally did; moaning loudly, and allowing every ounce of euphoria to consume her.
Castorice took herself out of her, a couple strings of spit bridging between her mouth and Cipher's entrance. She smiled in full satisfaction, while licking the rest of it off her lips, happily gazing at her heaving chest, and deeply flushed face, which were now fully drenched in sweat.
“So, how was it for you, princess? Did I taste good? Did you have your fun playing with your food?” Cipher purrs, her voice coming out in a rasp.
“I had a lot of fun; you tasted wonderful." Castorice giggles, then gently sets the other woman's legs back down on the bed. She crawls her way into her arms, fully taking her into a loving embrace, “So, are you ready to give me my share?”
Cipher turns over onto her side, pressing a gentle kiss onto her cheek, “Can’t say… I have to admit; you really took a lot out of me tonight, more than I thought.”
“It must’ve been that nice then. Maybe you can give me something for another time.” Castorice murmurs, pressing a kiss against her flushed cheek.
Cipher gazes into her eyes, doing so with a vulnerability present in her own, “Hey.”
Recognizing her feelings, Castorice’s eyes widened a bit, “Yes? What's the matter, my love?”
Cipher’s hand grasped hers, getting her fingers intertwined, “Is it alright if I can stay with you? I haven't seen you in a good while up until now.”
“Of course, after all I was just about to ask you the same thing.” Castorice responds, smiling affectionately at her. She shuffles over in preparation to take the covers, but then suddenly pauses after hearing a light gasp from her.
“Agh, shit, I didn't think I would have scratched you, let alone have it bleed… Cas… are you sure that you want me to stay?”
“Wait? Really?” She gets up, heading into the bathroom.
She brushes her hair back, then leans closer to the mirror. Her fingers gently graze over a few tiny marks on her shoulder with the small bits of golden blood having already rusted, and her head tilts in observation.
On the other end, Cipher was sitting on the edge of the bed, fidgeting with the sheet. A shivery sigh escapes her, and her brow was slightly furrowed.
Her ears suddenly perked up, sensing the soft footsteps coming back towards her. She looks up, noticing the beaming smile that the maiden had as she crawled back onto the bed.
Castorice lifts up the covers, mindfully shifting herself beneath them. She looks over at her with a soft invitation, “I say it's nothing to worry about. It's just a few cat scratches.”
Cipher sighs in relief, then slid under the covers with her. Lovingly, she wraps her arms around her, pulling her into a warm embrace, “Phew, alright, good. The last thing I’d want to do is hurt you really badly, y’know? I'd get into a good bit of trouble with lady Aglaea if I did, and I'm definitely not in the mood for that.”
Castorice hums, "I'm sure she would understand what happened. It may be a little bit of an... uncomfortable... conversation... but I doubt we would get any reprocussions over it." She snuggles up closer against her, smiling happily on the verge of sleep. But then she feels something light touching the skin from the back of her shoulders, causing her to giggle a bit, “Hey, Cifera, that tickles.”
Cipher nuzzles her a bit in response, resting her tail around her waist, then she continues to gently lick the scratches.
Seems like she couldn't resist herself from giving her some cat kisses.
How cute.
