Cecily (Prince!SteveRogers AU)

14

I rise early like I sometimes did back when I lived here with father, wanting to see the sunrise once again. The last I saw of it was the day I travelled to Auburndale and even though we have been here a mere few days, I've been a little tired from all the duties. I quietly slip from the bed and tiptoe to the window seat, being careful not to wake Steve, and there just about to peek through the trees are the orange yellows and reds of the sun. 

I feel contentment once more and glance back to Steve's sleeping form beneath the sheets, then turning to the window again. Below some of the servants are already awake and starting their day - Hilde is most likely down in the kitchens barking orders and overseeing breakfast. Steve and I bestowed the role of housekeeper on her - one of which she was surprised by, but I would have no one else. She knows this place inside and out, plus the others will listen to her. It will mean getting a new lady's maid but that does not trouble me. 

"Cessy...come back to bed". There's a kiss that's pressed onto my shoulder and Steve's arms clamp themselves around my waist. "You're cold". 

I smile to myself. "It's just as well I have you to keep me warm then". 

He sweeps me into his arms and carries me to bed again, putting me down and sliding my nightgown from me as I kneel upright in front of him, shedding him of his nightwear and letting him guide me back onto the sheets. I'm no longer nervous now, instead wanting him to be inside of me. 

Kneeling by me, he pushes my leg up and rests it against his shoulder, now trailing kisses down it from my ankle to behind my knee. Eyes on me all the time. 

My stomach feels like there's butterflies inside. "Don't make me wait". I tell him. 

There's a smirk on his lips and he takes my leg away, now crawling over me and settling between my legs before slowly pushing into me. "Let's put a son inside of you Cessy". His hand now hoists one of my legs up to his waist, the angle that he now takes me from being new, but pleasurable. With every thrust he goes deeper, harder until I can feel myself cling to him and begin to lose all my senses. 

"Steve..." 

"That's it...be a good girl, show me how hard you can cum". He encourages me more, the urgency clear as I know he's also nearing release. 

I let out a small cry, allowing myself to lose all control and feel him release all he has into me. My body goes through the aftershocks until we collapse against one another, hot and breathless. 

"Are you alright?" He asks, slowly pulling out of me and laying by my side. 

I nod and snuggle against him, fingers tracing the scars on his chest. "Do you think it worked?" I ask after some minutes of silence that we lay in. 

"We'll know soon enough" He tells me quietly and kisses my head. 

I feel tired again and must have drifted off because when I wake Steve is not there. 

The door opens and Hilde walks in. "Ah, you're awake my lady, the prince told me to let you sleep a little longer". 

"Where is he?" I ask. 

"Out in the gardens taking some air, he said he'd wait until you were awake so you could eat together". She informs and I get up, crossing the room to change behind the screen. 

"I'd best go and find him. Did he seem ok?" 

Hilde nods. "He looked like he was thinking, why? Has something happened?" 

I shake my head. "No...No it's just he's not been sleeping well since his return". 

"I suppose keeping him awake isn't helping either" She smirks, helping me to lace my bodice. 

I blush. "I have to have an heir, or at the very least a child to know that I'm fertile. It never happened before he went away, and many were disappointed. I guess I've lost a little faith in wondering whether I can do it". 

"These things can sometimes take their time. Do not stress about it my lady, if it's your will to have a child then you shall". 

I sigh. "I just feel it may help us bond more. We're getting to know one another, but something like this may help me feel more grounded? If that's the word?" 

Hilde smiles. "You mean it would help you both to connect more". She now looks at me. "Do not be hard on yourself, relax. Enjoy getting to know one another first and if a babe shall appear? Well then you know your fears can be put to rest". 

I hope she's right. To be a Princess is a constant pressure, but the duties that come with it? They are certainly more than I bargained for.
