The Prince and the pirate (Now puplished on dreame in extended version)

Getting maids out of their dresses

*Zac*
Her breathing is getting more shallow really fast and she is faintly whimpering in pain. I am really scared she might have broken some ribs. If they puncture her lung or heart, Well there will be nothing to do to save her. I need to get her back to the castle as soon as possible and into a bed so Hendry can look her over, he is both our priest and doctor.

When I gallop into the courtyard at full speed she is barely conscious. I manage to slide of the horse, keeping her in my arms and not bumping her to much. I look at the surprised looking stable boy. "Cool down the horse, give him water but not to much or to cold and clean the scratches on his belly".

I gently carry her up the stairs, barking to one of the guards at the door. "Run get master Hendry immediately.. tell him to hurry to the blue.. we have a Young woman with hurt ribs".

As I make my way to the blue bedroom, which is the closest, I can hear that her breathing is getting really laboured. I lay her gently down on the bed and feel relieved when Hendry walks through the door after a few minutes. Quickly explaining to him what happened.

He swiftly and carefully look her over. "We need to get her out of that dress and fast, it is tied in to tight, making it much harder for her to breathe".

"Oh.. sure.. we should do that". I feel myself getting all flustered by the idea of seeing her in her underwear. What will she say ? I might be looking a bit panicked.

He looks at me and winks. "Come on Zac, don't come here telling me you don't know how to get a young maiden out of her dress". I blush deeply, I mean he is my teacher and priest, and well I am not married so strictly speaking I should still be a virgin. He just laugh at my expression. "I'll go get some things and I expect her to be out of the dress when I get back".

He leaves the room and I try to gently roll her on her side, so I can get to the corset lacing in the back. "Sorry darling, but we need you to be able to breathe better".

The dress is very tightly laced all the way down her back, it will take some time getting it of and I suddenly realise her lips have started getting slightly blue, I don't have time for this.

As I don't know what else to do, I grab my hunting knife and simply cut open the dress, hearing how she immediately breathe much easier, making me breathe a sigh of relief. I roll her back on her back and slowly pull the dress of her arms. I take a deep breath, grabbing the dress and sliding it of her body.

She is only wearing a thin lazy top and long lazy knickers underneath and I feel my throat go dry. I can clearly see the soft orbs of her full breasts and her small pink nipples through that top. I hurriedly pull a blanket over her, it feels very wrong looking at her like this without her consent.

I sit down just holding her hand waiting for Hendry. To my great relief she is getting her natural colours back, but her breathing is still a bit laboured. Luckily the priest soon enters the room again. But that also means that he pulls the cover of her and I try to avert my eyes while he examinings her gently, poking and squeezing.

"She is lucky, nothing is broken, she just has something kind of locked here at her side". He says. "You need to hold her, so I can snap it back in place".

He instructs me to sit behind her on the bed and hold around her, pinning her arms down, so she can't move. I do it, trying to keep my breathing even, and place my hands so I don't touch her inappropriately.

Then he grab a hold of her sides with both hands and starts manipulating her ribs. She goes stiff as a bord, screaming out, pressing her body into me.

*Naria*
I am pulled back to reality by a blinding pain, I try to get away from it, but I can't move at all. Something strong is holding me tightly. I kick my legs, but then something long folds around my legs holding me totally still. And then I hear his voice in my ear. "Shh darling, I know it hurts, but we need to fix this okay ? It is over soon, I promise".

And then something kind of snaps in my side and the pain is almost gone. I can also breathe freely again and I start sobbing. Zac gently eases his grib, and without thinking I turn in his arms, snuggling into his warm chest. He gently comforts me, rubbing my back.

I faintly hear the priest tell Zac that I just need to sleep and relax a couple of days and then I will be perfect again. Honestly I have a hard time focussing on anything else than the fact that I am in Zac's arms, in a soft bed, only wearing my undergarments.

When the priest has left, the room goes weirdly quiet, like none of us dare to speak. But Zac just keep holding me close and I snuggle into him. Never have I felt this safe and this content. I close my eyes, daring to dream for just a minute that I am a princess and this could be for real.

After a while he gently gets up, tugging me down in the soft bed. "Get some sleep darling, rest. I will be back later to check up on you".

"Thank you Zac, thank you so much". I grab his hand shortly, squeezing it softly. And he smiles warmly before leaving me alone with my thoughts.
