It’s Exciting When You Finally Have A Firm Decision For What Will Happen Going Forward
—
“I’m going to keep the baby,” Millicent said, hand in Edwin’s. “But I want you to promise me something.”
“Okay.” They were walking just outside Techen’s Stand, along the cliffs, snow falling in their hair. “Anything you want.”
Millicent sighed. “You shouldn’t say that before you even know what it is.”
“It’s true, though,” Edwin said. “I’ll do anything.”
“No you won’t. What would you do if I said I wanted to get married?”
Edwin blinked, resisting the urge to pull his hand away. “You wouldn’t. You already said you didn’t want to get married.”
Millicent nodded at that. “Yeah, I guess I did. I just find it weird how easily you trust me, that’s all.”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Edwin asked, looking at her in the stark moonlight reflected off the snow.
Millicent’s nod was slow, and she was looking out over the cliffs. She exhaled slowly, standing closer to Edwin in the snow. “I’m not…sure I want to be a mother. It seems like so much, and I don’t know if I’m ready, or if I want to at all, or if…” she shook her head.
“That’s okay,” Edwin said quietly. “You don’t have to be.” She had just said she wanted to keep the baby, though.
“I know. What I mean is, I want to have the baby. But once I do I’m worried I won’t want to raise it. And I know it’s selfish to ask this of you when I’m admitting I might not be able to do it, but if I can’t…”
“I will,” Edwin promised, immediately. “It’s totally okay if you can’t or don’t want to, I’ll raise them even if I have to do it by myself.” Which he wouldn’t. He had no doubt Erik and Robby would help him, to say nothing of Owen, Gavin, Louis and Denver.
“Are you sure?” she asked quietly. “I don’t want you to feel obligated.”
“I don’t. I want to be a father. I’ve thought a lot about it and I’d really like to be a dad. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want you to feel like I was pressuring you. If you decided not to have the baby that would have been completely okay and I would have understood. But since you do…” he shrugged, not sure what he was feeling. “I’d like to have a kid. I think I’d be a good dad.”
“I think you would too. I think you already are.”
“And I think you’d be a good mom,” Edwin added, blushing. “If you wanted to be.”
“Thank you. Okay.” Millicent stopped walking, looked out over the mountains for a minute. “Okay. I’m going to keep the baby, then.”
“Okay,” said Edwin, smiling. He was going to be a dad. “Do you have any names you like?”
“We’ll think about that in the spring,” Millicent laughed.
Edwin already had some ideas, but he nodded. They started walking back to the town. “You know that you’re welcome to come stay at the keep, too, right?”
“I know.” Millicent smiled. “Thank you. I’m sure I’ll visit and stay there sometimes, but I don’t think I want to move away from my parents. Besides, Robby loves that he gets to have a space with just his brothers there. We’ve had to share a lot growing up here, I think he’d be disappointed if he had to share that with a girl all the time too.”
Edwin felt himself warming even more at that. “Maybe a little, but don’t let that stop you from visiting.”
“Oh, I won’t. It hardly seems fair that Robby gets to have sex with you constantly and I’ve only had the one turn, especially since I saw you first, Sir Edwin,” she said, giving him a strong poke to the chest.
Edwin faced her, and Millicent was grinning. “Well, if you’d like another turn, just say when.”
“I was thinking tonight?”
“Deal. Your place or mine?”
“Well, your place has the benefit of my parents not being there,” Millicent explained.
“I…think your parents probably know we’ve had sex before.”
“Yes, and that doesn’t mean that they want to hear us doing it again.”
Oh, right, some people didn’t mix sex and family. “Well, my place it is, then. I’ll take you through the portal.”
Millicent nodded, and let Edwin lead her back into Techen’s Stand, around the back of the inn where the portal was. He knew Robby was spending time with some of his friends tonight, and Erik had a night shift, so it would just be the two of them in the keep except for Nikolai and Nigel, who probably wouldn’t bug them.
Edwin opened the door and they walked through, into Stag Keep’s empty entrance hall. “It’s so big,” Millicent said, looking around. “Which I suppose isn’t surprising in a castle, but I wasn’t sure what to expect after Robby’s description, he likes to exaggerate how big things are.”
“It’s not a castle, but yeah, it’s pretty big,” Edwin agreed. “It’s too big for me, honestly, but hey.”
“I think it’s just the right amount of big,” Millicent said, and she pulled Edwin into a kiss, then pulled him harder, and he put his arms around her, kissing back. Now that they were somewhere warm he quickly found himself too hot in his coat and hat, and he started undoing Millicent’s buttons, pushing her coat to the floor, as she started doing the same for him.
A clearing throat got Edwin’s attention, and he looked over, saw Nikolai standing there, trying not to fully look at them. Edwin felt bad; he hadn’t even looked around to see if anyone was here. “I’m sorry to interrupt, sir. But you’ve got someone here to see you. He said you know him and that for some reason you still like him. His name’s Ned?”
Edwin sighed, dropping his hands. “Tell him I’m busy and to come back in the morning.”
“Okay. Sorry to interrupt.”
“It’s fine, Nikolai. This is Millicent.”
“You,” Millicent said, hand on Edwin’s chest. “Should talk to this person. You’re an important lord now, and someone needs to see you.”
“I’m not really a lord, and Ned isn’t someone, he’s just…”
“And I,” Millicent said, leaning in. “Could use a few minutes to get undressed anyway. So I’ll go find your bedroom while you do this, and then we’ll see more of each other, okay?”
Edwin gulped, his boner twitching in his pants. “Okay. Nikolai, can you show Millicent where my bedroom is?” God, two minutes owning a keep and Edwin was already making his poor servants bring people to his bedroom for him.
“Yes, sir. Your friend is in the kitchen, we weren’t really sure where else to put him.”
Edwin nodded, taking off his coat as he headed into the main hall to get to the kitchen. They followed him. “In the future, we do have sitting rooms, or they could just sit here, I guess.”
“Yes, sir.” Nikolai insisted on taking Edwin’s coat, even though the hooks were just over there, and only after he’d taken it did he lead Millicent upstairs.
Edwin sighed and went into the kitchen tent-first, and there was Ned, eating a piece of pie with Nigel. “Hi.”
“Hi. I’m sorry to intrude,” Ned said. “But you did say I could follow you and then you made it kind of hard to follow you. You teleport around a lot, did you know that?”
“Yeah, sorry about that.” He gave Nigel a smile. “Thanks for taking care of him. Ned’s kind of spying on me, so he’ll probably be here a lot. Maybe set aside one of the guest rooms for him?”
“Sure,” Nigel said, eyeing Ned strangely. “He’s spying on you? Don’t people usually do that in secret?”
“Ned’s special,” Edwin explained. He turned back to Ned. “Listen, I kind of have a date and she’s up in my bed right now taking her clothes off, so this isn’t a great time.”
“Oh. Oh! I’m so sorry!” said Ned, wiping his mouth on his sleeve. “I can come back in the morning. Or maybe I could stay here tonight and just see you in the morning. It’s just that you’ve been so many places lately and I don’t fully know where those were and Cameron wants a report, so.”
Edwin sighed. “I’ve been here, and in the capital working, mostly at the castle and the fortress. I went to Pelican Bay to see a friend, and I went to Techen’s Stand three times to see my date and my brother. I haven’t been anywhere else.”
“Okay, great. Sorry, it’s just…”
“It’s fine,” Edwin said. “I’m sorry. I did say you could shadow me around and then I kind of made it impossible. But if you can’t find me, come ask Nigel or Nikolai where I am. They can tell you.”
Nigel nodded, finishing the last of Ned’s pie. “It’s true. The only reason I didn’t was because I thought that was the opposite of how servants treated spies.”
“Okay.” Ned smiled. “That’s good. Thank you, Edwin.”
“Sure. Stay here tonight, okay?”
“Oh, I shouldn’t impose…”
“There’s no Cameron here, just me and Nigel and Nikolai. And Millicent upstairs. You can eat breakfast with us in the morning and I’ll give you more details about what I’ve been up to.”
“Uh. Okay, that’s really nice of you.”
It was common courtesy, but Edwin nodded. “I’m going to go upstairs. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Okay. And sorry for interrupting again.”
“It’s fine. Goodnight, Nigel.” Hopefully Ned (and Edwin) hadn’t ruined Nigel and Nikolai’s plans for tonight too badly.
“Goodnight, sir,” Nigel said, as Edwin left.
He went up the stairs to his room, running into Nikolai halfway down. “Is Millicent settled in?”
“Yes, sir, I asked if she needed anything and she said she was okay. She’s very pretty.”
“Yes,” Edwin agreed. “She is.”
“I didn’t know you liked girls too.”
“I like everyone.”
“Okay.” Nikolai was blushing as he got out of Edwin’s way. “Sorry, I shouldn’t hold you up.”
“Don’t apologize,” Edwin told him, patting Nikolai’s shoulder on the way up. “You two are doing a great job, I promise. I’m sorry for all the disruption.”
“Thank you, sir.” Nikolai hesitated. “Can I say something?”
“Of course you can.”
“You don’t have to apologize for living here, sir.” Nikolai shrugged, half a smile on his face. “I know you’re trying to be nice to us, but you don’t have to try, you are nice. It’s awesome that you want us to be happy here. But we also have jobs we got hired to do and we want you to be happy too, okay?”
Edwin blinked. Oh. He’d been acting like he was imposing on them, but Nikolai was right. This was his keep. “Right. Well, okay. But promise me you’ll tell me if I’m being too hard on you, okay?”
“Promise, but the only hard thing about you right now is your dick and I think you should go use it on Miss Millicent, sir.”
Edwin laughed at that, feeling a lot better. “I’ll do that, then, while you go use yours on Nigel. Goodnight, Nikolai. And if you wouldn’t mind…I mean, Millicent and Ned will both want breakfast in the morning.”
He went up to his room, and there was Millicent, slowly turning in the centre of the room, looking around at everything with one of Edwin’s shirts spreading around her. “I hope you don’t mind I borrowed this,” she said, turning around. “I was going to be all sexy and naked, but it was too chilly even with the fire.”
Edwin chuckled, went over and kissed her. “You’re very sexy even not naked.”
“Thank you,” Millicent said, and she started undoing Edwin’s pants, untucking his shirt. “I may keep it on for a while.”
“You wear whatever you like,” Edwin told her, lifting his shirt over his head. He got down on one knee to unlace his boots, tossing them aside. He lifted up the hem of the shirt and leaned in, kissed her right between the legs.
She laughed, and Edwin got up, pulling his pants down as he went. He stepped out of them, closer to her, putting her off balance and catching her in another kiss, his hand on her ass. He groped her as they kissed, and she groped him back, hands travelling all up and down his back before settling on his ass to squeeze him. Edwin slipped a hand between them and up the shirt Millicent had on, between her legs, found her wetter than a minute ago.
She moaned a little bit as he slid a finger inside her, and moved her hips against his, so he slid in another one. Her slick ran down Edwin’s hand as they kissed, and he explored all around, finding all the spots that made her gasp into his mouth, and the one that made her bite his tongue.
When he hit that one, she pulled away. “I didn’t come here to petition for your fingers, Lord Edwin.”
It was nice to know that even girls didn’t properly appreciate good foreplay. Edwin smiled, pulled his fingers out, and put both hands on her ass. “Well, let’s give you what you came here for, then.”
She nodded, then yelped as Edwin lifted her up, sliding his hands under her thighs. She wrapped her legs around his waist and Edwin lifted her shirt so it wasn’t in the way, settling her down on his cock. She made a face as he slid into her, bliss spreading across her features. “Oh,” she said. “I forgot how good this was.”
“Me too,” Edwin said. Millicent was so warm and tight, fuck. He started bouncing her up and down, moving her back and forth on his cock. Admittedly he’d done this more to impress her than out of practicality and she was heavier than Robby, so now his shoulders and back were already sore, but he kept it up, letting his back muscles work for both of them as Millicent touched them all over. He managed to slide a hand up, still supporting her while using his finger, slick from earlier, to slide into her other hole, just for fun. She definitely liked that if the way she cried out was any indication, and so Edwin kept doing it, thrusting in place as he held her up, sliding his second finger into her asshole as well, maybe a little harder than he should have because he was so close to cumming.
Millicent buried her face in Edwin’s shoulder as he came in her, and as he was finished squirting, she started to shake, clinging hard as she came too. “Edwin…”
“Mn,” Edwin agreed, holding her through it. When she was done, he walked her over to the bed, still on his cock, and laid her down. “You’re even better at that than I remember.”
“You too,” Millicent breathed, looking up at Edwin. “I enjoyed that, with your fingers.”
“It’s fun,” Edwin agreed. He hadn’t been sure if someone without a prostate would find it as fun as he did, but he was glad that Millicent had good taste.
“Though we did establish that…” Millicent kissed him. “I’m not here for fingers.”
Edwin laughed, and pulled out of Millicent, lining up against her other hole. “This might sting a bit until you get used to it,” he warned her.
“Okay. I trust you to be gentle.”
Edwin was as gentle as he could be, pressing into her asshole slowly, giving her time to adjust. It was clear she’d never done this before, and a few times she screwed up her face in obvious discomfort, getting him to stop for a second so she could get used to it. But he got it all the way in, and she smiled, sweat on her forehead. “This is…really something.”
Edwin nodded, moving her hair out of her face so he could kiss her. “That was what I thought my first time, too. Ready?”
“Ready.”
Edwin started moving, and Millicent gave a good whimper as he did. She was so much tighter around him this way, and even though he went so much slower it was so much more intense. She was just as tight as Robby if not as skilled as he was, and Edwin kissed her as he fucked her slowly against the mattress, letting Millicent feel every piece of him.
She pulled his hand down to her and he slid two fingers back inside, not the same ones that had been inside her before. He explored her, poking at her favourite spot, as he fucked her, and this time he got her to cum first, needing another five, ten thrusts after she was done to fill her asshole.
“Oh, fuck,” Millicent said. “We should have done that the first night. None of the rest of this would have happened.”
Edwin chuckled, pulling out. He kissed her again, and got out of bed. “I’m happy with what happened.”
“Me too. I hope you’re not done, because I’m sure not.”
Edwin got a rag and wetted it in the basin to wipe his dick clean, mentally thanking Nikolai for remembering to put this stuff out for him. They really were the best at the servant thing, those two. He’d have to thank Owen later. “Oh, no,” he said. “Just good hygiene, don’t worry.” He got back in the bed, on top of her, his cock pressed against her pussy again. “Since things did turn out how they did, we can do this as long as you want, and you know what?”
“What?”
“You don’t have to worry about getting pregnant.”
Millicent laughed, and pulled Edwin closer, urging him inside her. “There is that. Let’s take full advantage, then, Daddy.”
Edwin shuddered, and they did exactly that, staying up all night together with no other interruptions except for the door opening much later to admit Erik, who left as soon as he saw Edwin was busy. When the sun came up, Edwin was holding the sleeping Millicent close, and he watched it rise over all the people he was so happy to take care of before drifting off.
