"Would you like it if I were older?" he whispered.
"I had thought," she said, "that it would be easier. To be commanded by one so
very young," she said, "is to feel one's helplessness."
It seemed the tears had welled up and were spilling out of her eyes, so he pushed
her gently back so he might see them.
"My darling, I have awakened you from a century's sleep, and restored your
father's Kingdom. You're mine. And you won't find me such a hard master. Only a very
thorough master. When you think night and day and every moment only of pleasing me,
things will be very easy for you."
And as she struggled not to look away, he could see again the relief in her face,
and that she was in complete awe of him.
"Now," he said, pushing his left fingers between her legs, and drawing her close
again so that she let out a little gasp before she could stop herself, "I want more of you
than I've had before. Do you know what I mean, my Sleeping Beauty?"
She shook her head; for this moment she was in terror.
He lifted her up onto the bed and laid her down.
The candles threw a warm, almost rosy light over her. Her hair fell down on
either side of the bed, and she seemed on the verge of crying out, her hands struggling to
keep still at her sides.
"My darling, you have a dignity about you that shields you from me, much like
your lovely golden hair shrouds you and shields you. Now I want you to surrender to me.
You'll see, and you'll be very surprised that you wept when I first suggested it."
The Prince bent over her. He parted her legs. He could see the battle she fought
not to cover herself or turn away from him. He stroked her thighs. Then with his finger
and thumb, he reached into the silky damp hair itself and felt those tender little lips and
forced them very wide open.
Beauty gave a terrible shudder. With his left hand he covered her mouth, and
behind his hand she cried softly. It seemed easier for him with him covering her mouth
and that was all right for now, he thought. She shall be taught everything in time.
And with his right fingers, he found that tiny nodule of flesh between her tender
nether lips and he worked it back and forth until she raised her hips, arching her back, in
spite of herself. Her little face under his hand was the picture of distress. He smiled to
himself.
But even as he smiled, he felt the hot fluid between her legs for the first time, the
real fluid which had not come before with her innocent blood. "That's it, that's it, my
darling," he said. "And you mustn't resist your Lord and master, hmmmm?"
Now he opened his clothing and took out his hard, eager sex, and mounting her he
let it rest against her thigh as he continued to stroke her and work her.
She was twisting from one side to the other, her hands gathering up the soft sheets
at her sides into knots, and it seemed her whole body grew pink, and the nipples of her
breasts looked as hard as if they were tiny stones. He could not resist them.
He bit at them with his teeth, playfully, not hurting her. He licked them with his
tongue, and then he licked her sex, too, and as she struggled, and blushed and moaned
beneath him, he mounted her, slowly.
Again she arched her back. Her breasts were suffused with red. And as he drove
his organ into her, he felt her shudder violently with unwilling pleasure.
