Another 4 days had passed since they rescued Nova. Things were still going generally okay - Rapunzel went out less and Cassandra had even agreed to come with her on some of the outings. Cassandra had to admit, the people of this town weren’t half bad. The friend's Rapunzel made were good people - funny people - and unlike Clarissa, they welcomed the warrior with open arms. Cassandra originally thought that Rapunzel was leaving her in the dark when she continuously went out. But apparently, Rapunzel had talked about her non-stop. When she found out about that from her friends, she had never seen the princess’s face light up as much as it did. And of course, Cassandra teased her about it. A lot. To the point where she was so flustered that the princess had to make an excuse to leave. When they got back home… well, let’s just say it was a fun night. 

 

Currently, it was probably around 4 AM. Both the warrior and the princess were sound asleep. One in a peaceful slumber, the other… not so much. Rapunzel twisted and turned, mumbling incoherently in her sleep. She let out a small whimper and mumbled a couple of things under her breath. Suddenly, she shot up, her breathing quick and her eyes wide. The princess took a second to take in her surroundings and where she was and when she realized that she was safe (or rather when she realized that Cassandra was safe), she was able to inhale a deep breath and plop back onto her pillow as she ran her hands tiredly down her face.

 

She turned her tired eyes to glance at the sleeping warrior, who was still sound asleep. She was surprised that she wasn’t jolted awake with her because she usually woke up with her when Rapunzel was startled awake. Rapunzel was glad that she didn't though cause she didn’t want Cassandra to lose any more sleep because of her. The princess tried to go back to sleep back after an hour of trying, but she gave up and sighed, and sat back up. She grabbed her jacket and decided to get some fresh air in hope that it would help. 

 

-----------------------

 

Rapunzel had been sitting on a hillside overlooking the village, hugging her knees close to her chest for some time now. She stared blankly, the wind blowing her hair. She didn’t know how long she had been out there but the sun was starting to come up so she guessed probably a couple of hours. It was then that she heard the crunch of leaves and although she should’ve been startled, without even turning around, she knew exactly who it was. Or rather, she could feel exactly who it was.

 

Cassandra came up from behind her, dressed in her daily attire. The warrior moved to sit next to her. Rapunzel didn’t look at her, she only pulled her knees closer to her. “...You okay?” Cassandra asked eventually. 

 

Rapunzel took a deep breath before responding: “Yeah,” She said softly. When Cassandra gave her a suspicious look, Rapunzel added: “...Just another bad dream.” 

 

“You haven’t had one of those for a couple of weeks,” Cassandra responded. She paused, knowing that this was probably a futile question, but she risked it anyway: “...What was it about?”

 

Rapunzel seemed to consider her. Cassandra knew that most likely the princess wasn’t gonna answer the question; considering that in the past, it usually ended in a fight whenever she did ask. Rapunzel suddenly looked away after a couple of seconds. Cassandra was right. A part of her was slightly hurt - she thought they were getting better with this. Rapunzel promised-

 

“...It was about you.” The princess said quietly. Cassandra snapped her head towards her in surprise. Rapunzel didn’t look at her, she only kept her eyes directed downward. 

 

“Me?” Cassandra asked with a tilt of her head. Rapunzel nodded. 

 

“Most of my nightmares are about you, actually.” Rapunzel finally admitted. “Or Nova. But mostly you.”

 

“...What about me?” 

 

Rapunzel sighed. “Mostly you getting hurt, or me hurting you… or worse. They’re pretty graphic too.” 

 

“What was this one about?” Cassandra asked hesitantly. Rapunzel eyed her for a second. Cassandra wondered if this question was too much - after all, this was new to both of them.

Rapunzel looked away again. “We were fighting… something, trapped somewhere. Like... like a canyon, almost.” She started. Cassandra leaned in so she could listen better. “And then you got hit with… something and couldn’t get up. Something grabbed me and started taking me away. I tried to get to you, but…” Rapunzel tightly squeezed her fist, her voice twisted into a horrific expression. Cassandra reached between them and gently gripped the princess’s hand in her own. Cassandra waited for her to continue. “I yelled your name over and over again but whatever had me wouldn’t let go. I woke up after that…” Rapunzel hugged her knees even closer to her body. “And that’s not even the worst one I’ve had.”

 

Cassandra smiled and scooted closer until her body was pressed up against Rapunzel’s. “It was a dream, Raps,” Cassandra said softly.

 

Rapunzel side-glanced her. “But what if it wasn’t just a dream? What if…” The princess trailed off.

 “There’s nothing to worry about, Raps. I’m not going anywhere and neither are you.”

 

“You can’t promise me that.” She whispered.

 

“Maybe not,” Cassandra smiled and grasped her hand again. “But even if it did happen, I’d still make it back to you. I’ve been in worse situations.” Rapunzel looked away, unsure. Cassandra crawled until she was directly in front of her and gently held her by the shoulders. “Rapunzel, I promise. No matter what happens, I will always make it back to you.” Cassandra smiled sweetly as she rubbed her thumb over her cheek. “Nothing's gonna keep me from you.” Rapunzel looked at their joined hands, back at Cassandra, to back at their hands again before slowly nodding. 

 

“...You better.”

 

Cassandra smiled. “I will.” But then that smile turned into a cocky smirk. “I doubt that anyone can take me down. Or keep me down.”

 

Rapunzel let out a small giggle and leaned her body against Cassandra's, her head laying against her shoulder. Cassandra smiled and wrapped an arm around her, bringing her closer. The position they were in, the scent of Cassandra’s strong, woodsy scent, and the warmth of her body are what made Rapunzel pass out right then and there.

 

------------------------------------------------------

Rapunzel made a groaning sound when sunlight hit her face. She tried to go back to sleep and cuddle into the warmth of another body but she found that body was not there. Wait, not there? Rapunzel slowly cracked a tired eye open and immediately noticed the absence of her wife. The princess realized that they were back in the house, meaning Cassandra had carried her back. Rapunzel couldn’t help but smile. The princess rubbed the rest of the sleep out of her eyes before she swung her feet over the edge of the bed. 

 

She got up and stretched before she started making her way toward the kitchen where she smelled food. When she got to the kitchen, Cassandra was at the stove, humming happily to herself dressed in a tight long-sleeve shirt that showed off her curves and toned abs as well as tight pants that squeezed her body nicely. Rapunzel couldn’t help but look her up and down and lick her lips instinctively. Rapunzel loved waking up in mornings like this. It wasn’t often, she usually was the one up and cooking, but she wasn’t complaining. 

 

“Morning, Cass,” Rapunzel eventually made her appearance known. But Cassandra knew since the moment she stepped in the room; despite her back being turned. She didn’t miss how her wife looked her up and down either. 

 

“Morning, Raps,” Cassandra said with a more cheerful attitude than usual. Rapunzel walked behind her and wrapped her arms around her torso from behind, pressing a kiss to her cheek. Cassandra leaned into her.

 

“What’s the occasion?” Rapunzel asked, tilting her head.

 

“I can’t just cook for my beautiful wife without a reason?” Rapunzel raised an eyebrow and gave her a deadpan expression. Cassandra let out a small sigh. “We didn’t get to celebrate our anniversary a couple of days ago due to everything that was going on,” Cassandra started, surprising and catching the princess off guard. “So I thought we could celebrate it today. We’ve been married for four years now, I think that’s a cause for celebration.” She smiled. “Besides, we could both use the break from life-threatening, stressful issues for a day.”

 

Rapunzel smiled and nuzzled her. “I think that’s a wonderful idea,” She responded. Rapunzel looked around realizing the absence of a certain rambunctious two-year-old. “Where’s Nova?”

Cassandra smiled. “With the queen,” She responded. “I dropped her off this morning.”

 

“The queen? How did you manage to convince her to do that?”

Cassandra shrugged. “She offered, actually. She said that we deserve a day to ourselves to relax with everything that’s happened.” Cassandra shrugged. “Who knew that someone as threatening as her was good with kids?

 

“And you tried to pick a fight with her.” Rapunzel teased.

 

Cassandra huffed. “It wasn’t one of my prouder moments,” She admitted. “But you couldn’t blame me for being mad.” 

 

“I never did blame you for being mad,” Rapunzel responded. “I was too.” She gave Cassandra a teasing smile. “But I know how to control my anger so that I don’t attack the wrong people.” Rapunzel could see that Cassandra was getting ready to argue so she added that last part and the warrior immediately closed her mouth, grumbling to herself. 

 

“I’m glad you stopped me,” Cassandra admitted.

 

Rapunzel couldn’t help but laugh. “Yeah, me too. Otherwise, we would have had two casualties on our hands.”

 

Cassandra rolled her eyes. “Please, I could have totally fought her and won.”

 

“Right, like you stopped the large women that I oh so easily took down?” Rapunzel didn’t often get to brag about stuff like this considering Cassandra was usually the one who took the enemies down so when she had the chance, she was gonna 100% take it. Cassandra merely shot her a glare. 

 

“That woman was unusually large,” Cassandra responded. “And you had weird dark magic on your side. I literally had my fists because you made me drop my sword.” 

 

“I had to otherwise they wouldn’t have trusted us.” 

 

“We almost died anyway, thanks to your little ‘plan’.” 

 

Cassandra had to hold back a smirk when Rapunzel merely gave her an offended huff. “I didn’t see you coming up with anything. Besides, we were already gonna die already.” 

 

“I didn’t get a chance too.” 

 

“Please, just admit it, you had no idea what to do. We were trapped.” 

 

“I would’ve come up with something last minute.”

 

“Yeah, last minute didn’t really work for me.” She tilted her head with a smile. “Besides, it worked, didn’t it? We could Nova back and we didn’t die. I say that’s a win-win.”

 

“Without leaving unscathed.” 

 

“You did jump head-first into a fight that you had a slim chance of winning then you put yourself at risk despite knowing that you were gonna get hurt. Still pretty stupid on your part.” 

 

“I already said it wasn’t one of my brighter ideas,” Cassandra defended. “It’s over, there’s no point in holding onto it.” Rapunzel resisted the urge to point out that she was the one who brought this up in the first place.

 

Rapunzel slowly shook her head. “You really scared me, Cassandra.” Rapunzel responded, using her full name to show her that she was serious. “You need to stop putting your own life at risk for mine.”

 

Cassandra scoffed. “Now you know how I feel,” She responded. “Think about how scared you were then apply it to when you died in my arms and upgrade that feeling by a thousand. Then we’ll talk about scared.”

 

“You forget that you also died in my arms. Well, sort of.” 

 

“For a couple of minutes,” Cassandra defended. “You were gone for a couple of days.” Cassandra then smirked because she knew that if they kept going back and forth on this, it’d just end up as a fight and she really didn’t want to fight with her on today of all days. “You’re just finally getting a taste of your own medicine.”

 

Rapunzel narrowed her eyes. “If you die on me anytime soon, I’m bringing you back just to kill you myself.”

 

Cassandra chuckled. “I thought you said that wasn’t how it worked.”

 

“It is now.” 

 

Cassandra shook her head with a smile. “Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere anytime soon.” She paused. “Hopefully.” 

 

“You better not,” Rapunzel huffed. Cassandra pulled her into her by her hips and nuzzled her nose with her own, causing a cute giggle to arise out of the princess.

“I’m not,” Cassandra repeated. Rapunzel smiled and nuzzled her back before leaning up to press a soft kiss to her lips. Cassandra smiled and returned it before Rapunzel pulled away. 

 

“So what did you have planned today?”

 

Cassandra smiled and pulled her even closer against her body by the loops of her pants. “I thought we’d stay here,” She responded. “Just us. No interruptions, no nothing.” Cassandra gave her a heated smirk. “And have some fun~” 

 

Rapunzel blushed but giggled. “Perfect idea,” She nuzzled her before winking. “It works amazingly, actually. Because I have a surprise for you~”

 

Cassandra tilted her head and raised an eyebrow. “A surprise? What kind of surprise?”

 

Rapunzel merely giggled and bopped the tip of her nose with her index finger. “You’ll see.”

 

“Will I like this surprise?” 

 

“Knowing you, definitely.” 

 

Cassandra tilted her head. “When will I get this surprise?”

 

“Depends,” Rapunzel responded. “How horny are you?” 

 

“Pretty damn horny.” 

Rapunzel laughed, making Cassandra grin. “Alright then, horndog.” Rapunzel pressed a quick kiss to her lips before pulling back and winking. “You stay out here, I’ll be right back~” 

 

Cassandra didn’t question as she watched her head toward their bedroom.

---------------------------------------------

Cassandra had been waiting in the living room for the past 15 minutes and she literally was jumping out of her skin. What was taking her so long dammit? She was about to barge in there, her 'surprise' be damned. But before she could, Rapunzel finally called her name, her voice very much desire-filled and flirty. 

Cassandra quite literally rushed to the bedroom. “It’s about damn- woah.” She stopped in her tracks. There sat Rapunzel on the bed dressed in a dark purple-like long-sleeved crop top, sitting on the bed with a dark red pair of thongs on, with her legs closed and dark blue leggings. Cassandra was fixated. Rapunzel gave her a heated smirk and signaled her to come over with her finger. She was giving her the most lustful look that she had ever seen on her, and a dark blush spread throughout her cheeks. She looked absolutely breathtaking, a goddess just waiting to be worshiped. She looked exceptionally magnificently hot.

 

Cassandra must’ve been quiet for too long. “So, what d-” The princess didn’t even get to finish. Cassandra was on her as soon as she got her bearings. Cassandra kissed the princess with an intensity Rapunzel had never felt from her before as her hands roamed her exposed flesh. Rapunzel groaned into the kiss and pressed back. Cassandra eventually pulled back, giving her a heated smirk as she grabbed her face, her hand hidden in her hair, and sat on her knees so that she was peering over the princess. Rapunzel was leaning forward, her body pressed against Cassandra’s as Cassandra looked down at her with the most heated, intense smirk Rapunzel had ever seen. It made her knees weak and liquid rush between her legs.

 

“So, I’m guessing you like the surprise?” Rapunzel asked with a heated smirk of her own as she stared up into Cassandra’s desire-filled eyes.

 

“Mhm~” Cassandra merely responded. “But you do realize that it’s not going to last, right?” Cassandra emphasized by slipping her hands under her shirt.

 

“I guessed as much,” Rapunzel responded. “And that’s why I bought an extra set.” 

 

“How long have you had this?” Cassandra asked, looking her up and down while licking her lips. It made Rapunzel’s body let out an involuntary shiver at the way she looked at her.

 

Rapunzel smiled. “I got it in the first village we stayed at after we left Corona.”

 

“That was like 5 months ago,” Cassandra responded, raising an eyebrow. “And you decide to wear it now?”

 

“I was waiting for a special occasion.”

 

“My birthday would’ve worked.” 

“I didn’t have enough confidence for it at the time,” The princess admitted. “Better late than never, hm?” 

 

Cassandra pulled her forward and pressed a deep kiss to her lips before pulling back. “You won’t see me complaining.”

 

“You just were.” 

 

“Shush,” Cassandra responded as she pressed forward again, her lips brushing over Rapunzel’s. She pressed the rest of the way forward and instead of kissing her with desire, this kiss was instead filled with love and admiration. Rapunzel smiled into the kiss and tilted her head a bit to better reach her. Rapunzel knew what the warrior was telling her even without words. She told the warrior the same thing by deepening the kiss and putting as much love back into it.

 

When what they needed to say was told, the kisses started turning more passionate again. As time went on, the more desperate and passionate the couple became. Cassandra started to become more aggressive, more dominating, and more controlling as the passion rose. Just as she said, she eventually ripped the clothes she was in to shreds before she started attacking her neck. Rapunzel threw her head back and moaned as Cassandra attacked her neck; biting, kissing, licking, sucking… everything that drove the princess crazy.

 

Cassandra eventually moved to her breasts, taking one in her mouth before roughly, but softly, kneading the other. Rapunzel moaned deeply as she tried to keep up with the warrior’s pace. Cassandra switched to the other, and worked on it for a minute or two, before she came back up to Rapunzel and caught her lips into another fiery kiss. Rapunzel’s head was quite literally spinning. Sure, they’ve had a lot of sexual moments together but nothing quite like this. Cassandra had her hands all over her body, her hips were thrusting forward involuntarily and she was kissing her like she was the only thing to ever exist in this world and the next. She treated Rapunzel with such care and love but also with dominance and roughness. Rapunzel felt like she was flying.

 

Cassandra eventually pretty much threw her off the bed before pushing her into the wall. Rapunzel wrapped her legs around her waist and Cassandra thrust into her roughly. Cassandra continued her tortuous thrusts and as time went by, Rapunzel’s moans grew. Rapunzel’s nails dug into her back, making red marks trail down her back, stopping just short of her still tight-fitting shirt. 

 

Cassandra then returned to kissing her after some minutes. Rapunzel started to kiss her back like never before; pouring all her passion and hornyness into it. At this point, she must’ve been dripping down there.

 

Rapunzel kissed her with so much passion, it actually made Cassandra’s head spin. But it only pushed her to go even harder at it. It wasn’t long before both women were panting; their minds only focused on each other. The world just seemed to disappear for them. Rapunzel started to tear at Casandra’s clothes and the warrior only pulled away for a split second to lift her shirt over her head before returning to the princess. Rapunzel ran her warm hands all over Cassandra’s now-exposed flesh. She ran her hands over her muscular arms, and her toned stomach, then back up again. She eventually started to knead her breasts and Cassandra couldn’t help but moan into the kiss which made the princess even more soaked.

 

Cassandra trailed her hand downwards until she slipped it into her thong and immediately started to rub. Rapunzel threw her head back and moaned. Cassandra smirked when her hand merely came back wet and sticky. “Excited, much?” Cassandra asked and Rapunzel nearly groaned at how heated she sounded.

 

“Please,” Rapunzel responded in a whisper, panting softly; her voice just as equally as heated. “I know that you’re in the same state that I am.” 

 

Cassandra merely gave her a smirk and grabbed her hand. “Why don’t you see for yourself?” The warrior asked bringing her hand down between them before placing it over her own underwear. Rapunzel was right - she was just as equally soaked as her, if not more. Rapunzel rubbed, making Cassandra let out a low groan into her neck. “You have no idea what you do to me, Rapunzel.” She groaned. 

 

Rapunzel rubbed down there for a second or two before redirecting her eyes back to meet Cassandra’s. “I think I do,” She said softly before leaning forward, her lips brushing over the warriors. “Because if it’s anything like what you do to me…” She rubbed harder. “...Then I know exactly how you feel.” She whispered the last part before recatching her lips. The princess removed her hand only to dig it into Cassandra’s hair to push her even closer. When their tongues met, both women groaned. Rapunzel then grinded against her and considering they were both in merely their underwear, it caused Cassandra to pull back with a deep moan. 

 

Rapunzel made do by attacking her neck; leaving marks wherever she could. She trailed her hands all over her body; stopping at her favorite places to give them extra attention; places like her muscular arms, toned stomach, breasts… Cassandra groaned as Rapunzel pretty much ravished her body. She kissed, sucked, and licked anywhere she could; leaving her own marks on Cassandra’s body to remind people who she belonged with. Rapunzel trailed her hand back down her body to place it between her legs. Cassandra’s instinctively spread her legs slightly as the princess rubbed down there. “F-Fuck…” Cassandra moaned, hiding her face in the princess’s neck. 

 

“Like that, Cass?” She heard Rapunzel ask, her voice filled with a desire Cassandra had never heard before. 

 

“F-Fuck, god yes…” Cassandra responded with a moan. Rapunzel responded with an absentmindedly ‘hm’ before slipping her hand into her underwear. When Rapunzel entered her with three fingers, Cassandra couldn’t help but throw her head back and moan. The princess made haste as she rubbed and pumped her fingers in and out, taking extra care to rub her clit too. Cassandra was not used to Rapunzel attending to her like this but she wasn’t complaining. The opposite, actually. The closer she got to a release, the more horny and assertive she became. She didn’t let Rapunzel bring her to a release - she decided she had enough of foreplay. Quick as lightning, Cassandra pulled her hand away and pinned both of them to the wall, all the while panting harshly, before catching Rapunzel’s lips in a searing kiss. 

 

After that, Rapunzel couldn’t even describe what happened. She must’ve awakened something in Cassandra because the warrior was all over her now; touching and attending to every place that she could. She kissed harshly and with a passion that made her swoon. She kissed her with open-mouthed, hot kisses that sent even more liquid rushing to between her legs. “I’m gonna fuck you so hard, you’re gonna be screaming my name.” Cassandra’s hot dominant voice wrung out. 

 

Rapunzel could barely think much less respond but she was still able to come up with something. “Mmm…” She mumbled, her eyes half-open. “And probably not walk for a week.”

 

Cassandra chuckled darkly. “If you’re lucky,” She said with a smirk. “It may take you a year to recover.”

 

“I hope it’s gonna be worth it,”

 

“Oh, trust me, it will be.” Cassandra thrusted against her which made the princess’s head fall back with a deep moan. With her foot, Cassandra dragged the bag their special toy was hidden in. She bent down slightly to open the bag and take it out. Rapunzel watched in a daze. Cassandra had it set up in a couple of seconds but before she could press forward, Rapunzel stopped her.

“Wait, Cass. Can we try something?” 

 

Cassandra tilted her head to consider her. “What do you want to try?” 

 

“A new position,” Rapunzel responded. “Lay down on the bed.” Cassandra gave her a confused expression so Rapunzel added with a smile. “Just trust me.” Cass seemed to hesitate for a moment before nodding. She crawled onto the bed and Rapunzel immediately followed. Rapunzel climbed on top of her and straddled her before she slowly started to lower herself onto the toy, all the way to the hilt. The power of the toy immediately sent waves of pleasure to Cassandra. She had to bite her lip to hold back a moan. Rapunzel seemed to test the new position, moving forward only slightly. Cassandra couldn’t hold back a groan this time as her head fell back. 

 

“F-Fuck..” Cassandra moaned. Rapunzel seemed satisfied with that response as she rolled her hips only slightly. That made Rapunzel moan that time. Cassandra shot her hands to her hips as she moved her back and forth, up and down, and repeated the process. Although Rapunzel was on top, the princess gave her full control as she leaned down to catch Cassandra’s lips into another searing kiss. Cassandra thrusted her own hips upwards, causing the thing to go even deeper. Rapunzel groaned into the kiss and Cassandra smirked. Cass slowly started to quicken the pace, thrusting upwards, all the while moving the princess’s hips back and forth. Rapunzel moved her own hips up and down as well, causing a wonderful friction. 

Rapunzel had to eventually pull back and sit completely down until she was basically sitting on her stomach. Cassandra kept moving her hands as she sat up only slightly so that they were both in a sitting position with Rapunzel still draped in Cassandra’s lap; her legs on either side of her, the toy still buried deep into her womanhood. Cassandra recaught her lips and continued to move Rapunzel’s hips back and forth as the princess moved them up and down. Rapunzel wrapped her arms around her neck and kissed her deeply, her tongue running along her bottom lip. Eventually, Cassandra got tired of how slow they were going (even though it wasn’t really all that slow) and finally tipped Rapunzel over so that she could take her rightful position above her. She gave Rapunzel a heated smirk and that was the last thing she saw before Cassandra snapped her hips forward. Rapunzel was forced to let go of her lips. “A-Ah!” Cassandra made haste as she started pounding in her like never before. The warrior didn’t stop for a second, the snap of her hips getting quicker and harder with each thrust. 

 

Cassandra pinned the princess’s hands above her which only turned on Rapunzel even more. At this point, she was practically screaming. “Like that, Rapunzel?” Cassandra asked with a heated smirk. Rapunzel could only nod; keeping her eyes open was hard enough as it was, there was no way she would’ve been able to respond with an actual response. “Good because there’s more where that came from.” Somehow, the warrior went even faster, reaching an almost inhumane speed. Oh yeah, Rapunzel was definitely screaming now. “Who do you belong to, Rapunzel?”

 

“Y-You….” Rapunzel was able to respond.

“No,” Cassandra growled sexily. “Say my name.” She snapped her hips harshly. “Who do you belong to?” She repeated.

 

“Y-you… C-Cass..” 

 

“My full name.” When Rapunzel didn’t respond at first because she was unable to, Cassandra narrowed her eyes and gave her an even harsher snap of her hips in warning.

 

“A-Ah..! Y-You Cassandra!” Rapunzel finally responded.

 

Cassandra smirked. “Good girl.” Rapunzel had to wrap her arms around Cassandra to steady herself due to the force of the warrior’s thrust. She absent-mindedly hid her face in Cassandra’s shoulder, moaning loudly, before pressing soft kisses to her neck. Once she could focus even a little bit, she pulled back and grasped the warrior’s cheeks before pulling her forward so that their lips could meet. Rapunzel pressed hot open-mouthed kisses to her lips and Cassandra returned them whole-heartedly. 

Rapunzel’s eyes opened ever so slightly, Cassandra’s as well, as they stared deeply into each other’s lustful eyes for a second. Rapunzel let out a soft moan in her mouth. She then rolled her hips ever so slightly, causing a pleasurable reaction in both of them. “Fuck, I love you so much.” Cassandra groaned into her mouth. 

 

“I love you too,” Rapunzel responded, panting softly. She let out another moan into her mouth before whispering: “Faster.”

Cassandra smirked and pulled back, tightly gripping her hips. “Don't have to tell me twice,” With that, she snapped her hips forward with a harsh thrust that made Rapunzel see stars.

 

“A-Ah fuck!” Rapunzel yelled out in a moan. Cassandra would have been surprised but she was too worked up to care as she aimlessly pounded into her, each thrust faster and harder than the last. Cassandra gripped tightly onto her hips, bruises already starting to appear. Cassandra suddenly lifted the princess’s legs up and placed them over her shoulders; hitting her at a different angle. The new angle caught the princess off guard and it immediately caused an orgasm to follow. Cassandra didn’t stop there, though, as she flipped her over onto her stomach and reentered her from behind.

 

All the while, Rapunzel never stopped moaning and the moans grew in volume with each passing second. Rapunzel tightly gripped the sheets, her cheek pressed against the bed. She felt Cassandra trace her backside, trailing her finger down in a sensual way; causing Rapunzel to let out an involuntarily shiver. Cassandra then gripped her behind harshly and used it as leverage to go deeper, faster, and harder. Still being sensitive from her first orgasm, Rapunzel found herself dangerously close to another release. Cassandra could tell by the way her moans grew even louder and the way her body already started to shake. Cassandra also found herself close to a release. She angled herself only slightly and pressed her hand in between them to rub her clit. That did it. Rapunzel’s mouth went slack, her body convulsed, and she had the best orgasm she’s had in a while.

Cassandra wasn’t far behind as she stilled her hips to the hilt and wrapped her arms around her stomach, all the while squeezing her eyes shut. Once she could move, even if it was only slightly, she pulled out, took off the thing, and threw it somewhere in the room before quite literally falling next to Rapunzel, both women still panting. “We haven’t had that intense of sex in a while.” Rapunzel eventually stated after some minutes had passed.

 

Cassandra’s head fell to the side with a smile. “Maybe you should wear that outfit more often then.”

 

“You mean the one you ripped to shreds?” Rapunzel asked with a raised eyebrow as she eyed the torn clothes.

 

“You did say you bought another one.”

 

Rapunzel merely gave her a heated smile. “Oh, I bought more than one. Except, not all of them are the same.”

 

“You mean to tell me that you bought a shitload of lingerie and you waited now to tell me?”

 

“Again, I was waiting for the perfect moment. Besides, we were fighting a lot for a while there.” 

 

“Hot make-up sex would have made it better. We could’ve avoided a lot of fighting.”

 

Rapunzel rolled her eyes. “I don’t think that’s how it works Cass.” 

 

Cassandra gave her a smirk. “It’s worked in the past.”

 

Rapunzel shrugged. “Nothing we can do about it now.” 

 

Cassandra pulled her into her by her hips and pressed forward to press a small, quick kiss to her lips before pulling back only slightly. Her lips brushed against Rapunzel’s as she smiled. “We can make up for it?”

 

Rapunzel smiled back and nuzzled her. “I plan to,” She responded. “But I think I need a break before round 2.” She let out an exasperated sigh.

 

Cassandra smirked. “Too good for you, hm?” 

 

Rapunzel merely weakly shoved her causing Cassandra to let out a laugh. “We have literally all day,” She responded. “Besides, it’s been literal ages where it’s been just us without any problems we need to worry about.” Rapunzel paused before adding, “Uh, current problems.”

 

Cassandra chuckled. “I get what you mean,” She responded. Cassandra’s face immediately turned to worry though when she saw the darkening bruises on her hips. “....Did I-”

 

“No Cass, you didn’t hurt me.” She finished for the warrior.

 

“How did-”

Rapunzel rolled her eyes. “Because you ask every time,” Her eyes then directed down to her hand as she gently grasped it and interlocked their fingers. “What about your hand?” 

 

“I told ya, there’s nothing that I can’t handle.”

 

Rapunzel gave her a deadpan expression. “That wasn’t the question.” Damn her. 

 

Cassandra just shrugged. “It always gives me problems but I’m slowly getting used to it.” She paused. “...again.” 

 

Rapunzel responded by placing a soft, lasting kiss on the top of her damaged hand before holding it lovingly against her chest. Cassandra couldn’t help but smile. “What about your rib? Is it still giving you problems?”

 

Cassandra shrugged. “It’s tender,” She responded. “But for the most part, it’s healed.” 

 

“What about your eye?” Rapunzel asked, inspecting her still bruised eye. It was healing but sometimes, it still gave her problems. 

 

Cassandra couldn’t help but smile and tilt her head. “What does that have to do with anything?”

 

Rapunzel rubbed under her eye with her thumb in a loving manner. “I just want to make sure that you’re okay…” 

Cassandra smiled and nuzzled her. “I’m okay, Raps. What about you? Anything hurt?”

 

Rapunzel smiled and leaned into her. “Other than my insides, no,” Cassandra smirked. 

 

“Your insides may hurt for the next year. Maybe three when we go for round 2. But hey, at least, you enjoyed yourself.” 

 

Rapunzel couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s worth the pain.” She nuzzled her before starting to get up. “Come on, we should-” But Cassandra immediately pulled her back down and wrapped an arm over her stomach to make sure she stays put, surprising the hell out of Rapunzel. She then dug her nose into the side of her neck. 

 

“Nah,” Cassandra eventually said. “Like you said, we have all day. And right now, I just want to cuddle and spend time with you.” Rapunzel’s heart skipped a beat at that statement. Rapunzel didn’t think she could fall even more in love with her but as time went by, as each day passed, the more and more she turned (and will forever stay) a love-sick puppy.

 

Rapunzel smiled and nuzzled into her. “Fine with me,” She said softly. The two of them lay in comfortable silence for some minutes. Neither knew how much time had passed but what they did know was that they honestly didn’t care.

 

Finally, someone spoke: “....I know I’ve said it before,” Cassandra started. “But I really am so proud of you.” 

Rapunzel gave her a sorrowful smile. “Thanks, Cass,” She responded simply but her voice held sadness and shame. “But I’m not any closer to finding any answers.”

 

“Doesn’t matter,” Cassandra responded simply. “...Just look at where you were a month ago then look at you now. You’ve already come so far - way farther than I was when I first started out.” She looked down at her and smiled. “You should be proud of yourself too.”

 

Rapunzel shrugged and looked away. “I guess.” 

 

Cassandra sighed and hooked her finger under her chin so that she could redirect her eyes back to her own. “You’re way stronger than you think you are, Raps,” Cassandra said softly before moving her hand to her cheek and rubbing it lovingly with her thumb. “I just wish that you could see it too.” 

 

Rapunzel leaned into her touch and gave her a saddened smile. “Yeah,” She responded softly. “...Me too.” Cassandra didn’t say anything as she pulled Rapunzel into her arms and then pressed a soft kiss to the top of her head before resting her own on it. Rapunzel nuzzled her and pressed her nose into her neck. Minutes passed and no one said anything. 

 

“...And I know I’ve said this a thousand times,” Rapunzel started, pushing herself back so that she could meet Casasndra’s eyes. The warrior kept her arms securely around her though. “...But none of this would be possible without you.”

“And we’ve been over this a thousand times,” Cassandra responded. “You were the one that-”

 

“I know,” Rapunzel softly interrupted her. “You saved my life.” She stated simply.

 

Cassandra gave her a slightly teasing smile. “Don’t I always?”

“Yeah, but…” Rapunzel trailed off. “...This was different. You saved me from myself. Any second later and…” Rapunzel swallowed, unable to even think about it. She was still ashamed that she almost… went to such lengths to rid herself of this world. She was still ashamed that she put her lover through that and her daughter too. Cassandra had a feeling she wasn’t done so she waited for her to get her thoughts together. “I think…” Rapunzel started hesitantly. “I think that I’m ready… to talk about it now.” Cassandra pulled back in surprise. Did she just hear that right? The words that she had been waiting for nearly 7 months… did they finally just come out of her mouth? “I don’t want to get all depressing on our anniversary, considering this is supposed to be a... relaxed day from depressing topics... but…”

 

“No, no,” Cassandra quickly cut her off. There was no way that she was wasting this opportunity. Cassandra sat up and Rapunzel followed. “It’s okay. No time is a bad time.” The warrior nodded for her to continue. 

 

She waited as Rapunzel collected her thoughts. “I was… scared.” She started, not exactly sure how to continue. “When this first started, I didn’t know what was happening. I was confused and I was just so… angry at everything. I didn’t know why…” She trailed off. “....So I took it out on you. I knew that you were just worried and just wanted to help me but… it made me feel almost... inferior. I thought that by accepting help, especially from you, it would mean that I was weak; that there was something… wrong with me. But the more I pushed you away, the worst things seemed to get.” Rapunzel started wringing her hands together, something she did when she was upset or uncomfortable, and refused to meet Cassandra’s eye contact as she stared directly in front of them, a pained expression on her. Cassandra wanted to stop her but she knew that there was no way that she was gonna get better if she didn’t talk about how she had been feeling. “....I just felt so alone,” Her voice cracked, breaking Cassandra’s heart. 

 

“I-I don’t know why… deep down I knew that I had so many people by my side who cared about me… I knew that I had you by my side. But when Azriel showed up and started to get into my head, I went after you instead. I was terrified… so damn terrified t-that… that I was gonna hurt you again.” She whispered. “...So I thought if I made you mad enough, if I yelled at you enough, if I continued to push you away… you would… leave so that I wouldn’t have to face that possibility. And then when Carina showed up…” She trailed off, unsure how to pose this next part. 

Cassandra gave her a reassuring smile, which seemed to calm the princess ever so slightly. At least, slightly enough to help her continue. “...I just felt so… so undermined. I know you didn’t mean to but you continuously took her side and I thought that maybe… t-that maybe I had pushed you away enough for you to leave me. I felt like I was losing you… rather than I was losing myself. R-Right before we left Corona, when I had that dream and you stayed up with me… I dreamt that I attacked you; while repeating the decay incantation over and over again. I saw Corona, littered with blood and dead bodies… dead bodies of our friends.. falling under my wrath. You were injured, badly, and you looked so betrayed… but then I raised my hand, without my control, and waited for the inevitable... I heard a scream then I woke up.” Cassandra gave her a surprised expression but that expression quickly turned into pain for her lover. Rapunzel still refused to look at her. “So when I did turn and I almost hurt you…” She whispered. “I couldn’t fathom it. Then Carina said that there was a 99% chance it was gonna end up happening again... Then Azriel proved it. After that… I gave up. I would have rather died than ever hurt you or Nova. So… that’s what I tried to do. Take care of the problem… because that's the one thing I knew that I could do right." She sighed. 

 

"Except fixing my own, I guess." She stopped for a second to take a shaky breath. “I never wanted to put you through what I did…” She said, finally meeting Cassandra’s eye contact. “That must’ve been… really scary… seeing me like that.” She groaned. “God, I still can’t believe that I ever thought that… that would be the answer. Like it would solve anything…” She looked down. Cassandra waited for a second or two to see if she was done or not and when she said nothing, Cassandra finally chimed in.

 

“....I should’ve done a better job of listening to you,” She started softly. “....And watching you.” Cassandra shook her head. “It’s funny,” She said, looking downward. “All that time I thought that I was helping you, that I was looking out for you but…” She sighed. “I let every single sign slip right through my fingers because I was so focused on keeping you going, on keeping you safe… that I didn’t even let you feel any of it and I ended up making things so much worse."

 

“Cass-”

 

“No, Rapunzel,” Cassandra cut her off, using her full name. “I pushed you to that point.”

 

“No, Cassandra,” Rapunzel did the same as she shook her head. “I was already heading to that point.” 

 

But Cassandra kept going. It was as if she didn’t even hear her as her voice started to become more distraught. “I-I was so scared… so scared that I was gonna lose you again… that I didn’t even stop to look at the bigger picture o-or what you needed and-”

 

“Woah, woah, Cass, sweetheart,” Rapunzel said softly as she gently grasped her hand that was shaking and balled into a tight fist. The warrior’s hand immediately relaxed but Rapunzel could still feel the tension. “None of it was your fault.”

 

“But-”

 

“There are no buts about it,” Rapunzel cut her off. “You tried to get me to talk to you so many times but I downright refused or yelled at you every single time. That wasn’t on you.”

 

“What about the Carina problem, huh? You’re right, I took her side over yours on multiple occasions. And then I yelled at you and snapped at you all because you were trying to tell me that we shouldn’t trust her. And I know how that feels….” The warrior looked down, unable to meet the princess’s eye contact anymore.

 

“Cass, love, hey..” Rapunzel tried to catch her eye contact but Cassandra continued to avoid it. Sighing, Rapunzel hooked her fingers under her chin and not exactly knowing what to do, she caught Cassandra’s lips in a soft, loving kiss. Cassandra tensed for a second before she melted into the kiss and pressed back. Rapunzel pulled back when she thought Cassandra was calm enough to listen to her. “Don’t blame yourself, Cass. Everything that happened… was my fault.”

 

“No, Rapunzel-”

 

“Yes, Cassandra,” Rapunzel quickly defended. “I pushed you away, I left you in the dark, and I got myself to that point. You did everything you could for me and you checked on me continuously. I went too far with Carina and if I was in your shoes, constantly listening to us scream at each other back and forth for hours on end while trying to navigate us through dangerous areas, I’d be pretty on edge too. I never trusted her but I was more jealous than I was worried about her turning on us. And I was pissed off at her for abandoning you like she did and then acting like she didn’t nearly get you killed and spend time in jail for her crimes. I let that jealousy and anger get in the way and it eventually pushed us both over the edge.” 

 

“It’s still not an excuse, Raps..” Cassandra said softly, once more looking away. “I threatened you and I shut you down. Then I called you names and left, despite knowing what you were going through. I left you and Nova alone with her. What if something happened?”

 

Rapunzel sighed. “Cassandra, it is not your job to constantly watch over me.”

 

“But it is-”

 

Rapunzel shook her head. “It’s not. Your ‘job’ is to be there for me and to be my wife. I don’t need a protector and I don’t need to constantly be watched over.” She grabbed the warrior’s hand and rubbed her thumb over her knuckles in a loving manner as she stared at their joined hands. “I just need you to be my best friend,” She said softly. “And the person I love most in this world.” She looked back up to meet her eyes and whispered: “And nothing more.” Cassandra didn’t respond so Rapunzel sighed. “You told me that I needed to stop running,” She started. “And you were right. So that’s what I’m doing - I’m not running anymore. And to do that means I have to admit all the things I did wrong, whether or not my actions were driven by something that I couldn’t understand. And what happened… was my fault. Not yours, not Nova’s, not anyone's but my own.” She paused before adding, “And maybe Azriel’s.” She interlocked their fingers and held them up to eye level. “I was wrong in the way I acted and I was even more wrong for trying to keep you out of it, or even accuse you of being selfish. Among other things…” 

 

She whispered the next part, her voice cracking: “And I was the most wrong for trying to…” She trailed off, unable to say it as she shook her head. “And I am so sorry that I put you through all of that.” She looked away for a second. “I still have no idea who I am or… how to find out. And there are so many things that I’m still confused about but…” She shook her head before remeeting Cassandra’s eye contact, this time with a more serious expression. “But I promise you that I am going to get help and from now on, I won’t keep anything from you.” Rapunzel smiled and pressed a kiss to the top of her hand. “We’re in this together.” Rapunzel finished, saying the one thing that Cassandra had been trying to get her to see for almost a year now. She shook her head and repeated with a serious expression: Rapunzel held up her pinkie finger to Cassandra. “No more running.”

 

Cassandra, who was honestly stunned into silence at her declaration, took a second to react. But if she was being honest, she had never been more proud of Rapunzel right then and there. Without a word, she raised her pinky and it hooked it with Rapunzel’s before repeating softly: “...No more running.” Cassandra paused. “I love you, Raps,” She said softly. “And… thank you. For telling me.”

 

Rapunzel smiled and stroked her thumb over her knuckle. “I love you too,” She responded. “And it was long overdue.” 

 

“You should be really proud of yourself,” Cassandra repeated her earlier phrase. “I’m serious. You just took a huge step.” 

Cassandra smiled and kissed her hand lovingly. “I know I am.” 

 

“I’ll get there,” Rapunzel responded before giggling. “Hopefully.”

 

Cassandra gave her a confident smile and nuzzled her, making her giggle. “You will.” 

 

Rapunzel smiled as she scooted herself closer and leaned against her. She grasped her hand together and held it in her own, playing with the ring on her finger. “I can’t believe we’ve been together for four years now,” Rapunzel giggled. “Is it just me or does it feel like longer?”

 

Cassandra chuckled. “Well, we’ve technically known each other for 11 years so.”

 

“Wow,” Rapunzel whistled. “That’s a long time.” She then had a realization. “....I’ve been out of the tower for 11 years.” She said almost in disbelief. “It almost feels like just yesterday that I left…” 

“In a couple of years, you will be out of the tower for as long as you were in there.”

 

“That’s really weird to think about. 11 years ago if you told me that I would end up being married and have a daughter by 29, I’d call you crazy.” She then had another realization. “Holy moly I’m 29..” 

Cassandra snorted. “Think about how I feel, I’m four years older than you.” 

 

“Time really does fly.” 

 

“And Nova’s gonna be three soon.” 

 

Rapunzel groaned. “Don’t tell me that,” She pouted. “I don’t want our baby to grow up.” 

“Me neither but unfortunately, it’s something we can’t stop.” 

Rapunzel grinned. “Unless we found that top-of-time thing from the house of Yesterday’s Tomorrow.” She teased.

 

“That whole place was cursed, I swear,” Cassandra groaned. “Hopefully it stays gone.”

 

“With Zhan Tiri not around, hopefully, it should.” 

 

“I wouldn’t want anyone else getting trapped there,” Cassandra responded. “It was horrible.” 

 

“Or have any other person get life-changing news.”

 

“Or have a revenge-driven demon ruin a perfectly good, but unstable, friendship.”

 

“Unstable?” Rapunzel asked with a raised eyebrow and an amused grin. “We weren’t that unstable.”

 

Cassandra snorted. “Are you kidding? At that point, we were pretty damn unstable.”

 

“You did keep all your feelings to yourself.” Rapunzel grinned. “I guess I see where I learned it from.”

 

Cassandra narrowed her eyes. “Nuh-uh. Don’t put that on me. You’ve always been like this.”

Rapunzel gave her a teasing grin. “I thought you said that it was your fault?” Cassandra merely huffed in response and gently shoved her; making the princess laugh.

 

“You’ve always been great at helping others deal with their feelings but your own?” Cassandra snorted. “You sucked at opening up worse than I did.” 

 

“‘Do’.” Rapunzel corrected her with a grin. Cassandra merely shot her a glare which merely made her grin widen. 

 

“Fine, if you want to play it that way, then you still suck at opening up. At least I wasn’t the one who hid being suicidal for months.”

 

“No, but you did hide that you found out that Gothel was your biological mother for months.”

 

“Those were under…. different circumstances.”

 

“Alright, Mrs. Excuses.”

 

“Well, at least I’m good at keeping up with my promises.” Cassandra had to bite back a smirk when Rapunzel huffed in response with an annoyed, cute pout. She knew that would get her.

 

“Oh, you did not just bring that up.”

 

“I sure did,” Cassandra responded with a smirk. “Whatcha gonna do about it?” Rapunzel merely made a humming sound in response and before she knew what was happening, Cassandra was suddenly being flipped onto her back with a Rapunzel straddling her while tightly pinning her arms above her head. The warrior blinked once, twice in surprise. 

 

Rapunzel merely smirked and leaned down, her lips brushing against Cassandra’s as she tightly held the warrior’s hands above her head, careful of her burnt one. “How’s that for dominant, hm?” She leaned forward, whispering hotly into her ear, making the warrior shiver.

 

Cassandra merely looked her up and down, and licked her lips, before raising an eyebrow and remeeting her eye contact. “You do realize that this isn’t gonna last very long, right?”

 

Rapunzel made another humming noise. “I know,” She responded, leaning forward again. “But I’m gonna enjoy it while it lasts.” With that, she pressed forward and caught Cassandra’s lips into a searing kiss. Cassandra immediately melted into it as she pressed back just as feverishly. The warrior tested Rapunzel's grip by gently tugging on her hands and Cassandra had to admit, her grip was strong and relentless. But not enough to keep her down. Cassandra let Rapunzel take control for the time being as the princess pretty much ravished her mouth. 

 

Cassandra eventually got tired of positions though and before Rapunzel could suspect what was coming, Cassandra easily escaped the princess’s grip and flipped them around, switching the positions so that she now had Rapunzel’s hands tightly in her grip. But unlike the princess, Cassandra used her belt sash to tie them to the base of the bed. 

 

With that, she started ravishing the princess’s mouth, running her hands all over her body. She applied featherlight touches, knowing that it would drive Rapunzel crazy. And it did as the princess tugged on her bindings but to no prevail of getting free. 

Cassandra pulled back for a second and smirked down at her due to the fact that she was completely at her mercy. The warrior sensually trailed her hand down her body before trailing it back upwards. Rapunzel involuntarily shivered under her touch as her muscles tightened whenever she passed over her stomach. The warrior started to trail kisses down her body as the princess tried to keep her eyes open to watch. Cassandra kissed down from her face, to her neck, to her chest, to her stomach, to back up again. The second time she started to trail back down, she took one of the princess’s breasts in her mouth while softly, but with a harsher touch, kneading the other.

 

“A-Ah Cass!” Rapunzel moaned deeply as the warrior basically sucked her like a newborn baby. When the one was properly worshiped, she moved to the other as Rapunzel’s moans grew and she continued to pull on her bindings. Cassandra eventually got tired of just attending to her breasts so she started to trail down her body again. This time, she kissed past her stomach, to her thighs, to back to her stomach again. She eventually moved farther down and pressed a kiss on each inner thigh. Rapunzel tried to watch her but the sensation of her lips and hands all over her body clouded her mind. So when Cassandra put what she had in mind into action, Rapunzel was not expecting it. 

The warrior gripped her behind, making her let out a surprised squeak, and lifted her hips ever so slightly before she quite literally disappeared between her legs. The first hot, wet sensation of her tongue invading her womanhood made her eyes widen before they closed and she threw her head back with a half-moan, half-yelp. Cassandra then, what one could only describe as, started to ‘eat her out’; hitting in all the right places. Rapunzel’s moans started to rise as she helplessly pulled on her bindings. She wanted to touch her dammit. And Rapunzel knew that Cassandra knew of her frustrations; if the smirk she could feel said anything about it.

 

“C-Cass, pl-please…” Rapunzel moaned, her voice hoarse and pleasure-filled. Cassandra didn’t respond but she knew that the warrior heard her plea because she suddenly added a finger for simulation and pumped. That pushed the princess over the edge as her mouth went slack and her body convulsed. Cassandra moved from between her legs, wiping her mouth in the process, and didn’t let the princess live it out as she recaught her lips. Once she could focus enough, she greedily returned Cassandra’s hot, wet kisses that sent even more liquid rushing between her legs. But due to her bindings, she couldn’t reach her all that well and it was seriously starting to get on her nerves.

 

She tugged on them and looked at Cassandra with what she hoped were pleading eyes. “Cass…. Please?” Cassandra seemed to consider her before promptly making up her mind as she reached up and unbound the princess. Rapuznel’s arms immediately flew to around Cassandra’s neck as she pushed herself up to catch her lips once more. The princess started leaving hot, wet, open-mouthed kisses on her lips as the warrior kissed back just as feverishly. Cassandra reached her hand from off the bed and grabbed their ‘magic worker’ once more, getting it set up in under a couple of seconds. Cassandra suddenly pulled away.

 

“Onto your stomach,” The warrior demanded simply. Rapunzel didn’t even question it nor argue as she flipped herself onto her stomach. Cassandra ‘rewarded’ her by tracing her backside with her fingers in a loving, comforting way before, without warning her, thrusting forward and immediately entering her from behind.

 

“A-Ah!” Rapunzel let out a surprised yelp, almost falling in the process but Cassandra’s hand placed under her stomach kept her upward. Cassandra made haste as she started to endlessly pound into her, holding onto her hips for leverage. Rapunzel’s face was pressed into the bed, and her fingers tightly gripped the sheets below her as her moans grew and grew. “G-God… fuck…” Rapunzel groaned. “...F-Faster..” 

 

Cassandra smirked. “Anything for you baby,” Cassandra pulled all the way out, making Rapunzel let out a low groan at the loss, before the warrior thrusted forward harshly with a snap of her hips, entering her once more swiftly and harshly. 

 

“A-Ah…!” Rapunzel yelled out again, her voice even more hoarse. She was unable to keep her eyes open anymore as she squeezed them shut tightly, her moans growing by the second to the point where she was practically screaming. The princess mumbled the warrior’s name incoherently, the syllables broken.

“Yeah, that’s it,” Cassandra panted, sweat dripping down her forehead. “Say my name.” 

 

“C-Cass-Cassandra-” Rapunzel forced out.

 

“Good,” Cassandra responded, snapping her hips even faster. “Good girl. Scream to the world who you belong to.” Rapunzel honestly tried to say her name again but the warrior’s tortuous thrusts clouded her mind and her thoughts. Cassandra made a humming sound before smirking. She quickened her pace and quickened her thrusts until she was using all of her energy to fuck the princess. Which was a lot. She vaguely heard Cassandra demand something of her but she missed it, she was too lost in pleasure wonderland. Rapunzel knew that the warrior was purposely trying to cloud her thoughts and quite frankly, her plan was 100% working.

 

“Scream my name, Rapunzel,” Cassandra demanded. Rapunzel definitely heard it this time but she still could not respond. “Fine,” Cassandra suddenly said. “If you aren’t gonna listen, then until you do, you aren’t allowed to climax until I say so.”

 

Rapunzel vaguely heard her as she opened one eye. “Y-Yo-You C-Can-”

 

“I can do whatever I want,” Cassandra cut her off. “Do as I say or you’ll be punished accordingly.” Cassandra leaned over her body and with a smirk, she leaned forward and whispered into Rpaunzel’s ear: “And I promise you, you won’t like what I have in store if you don’t listen.” She blew in Rapunzel’s ear hotly before licking the outside of it; causing Rapunzel to shiver. Rapunzel eventually merely nodded. Cassandra pulled back and smirked before she snapped her hips forward, purposefully hitting deeper and deeper. Rapunzel let out a low groan. “Did you really think I was gonna make it easy on you?” With that, she angled herself ever so slightly and started hitting her in a different area; an area that brought immediate immense pleasure.

 

Rapunzel’s mouth went slack but she held on although it was becoming increasingly difficult to oblige to Cassandra’s commands. Rapunzel could feel the release creeping onto her but somehow, she kept it at bay. Cassandra continued to pound into her; hitting her deep in the same spot over and over again. “I’m impressed,” Cassandra said suddenly, tracing her backside sexually. “You’re holding on a lot longer than I thought you would.” She smirked. “Let’s see how long you can hang out~” She moved their positions so that Rapnzel was back onto her back. She lifted both legs over her shoulders before reentering her; hitting a whole different area.

 

Rapunzel found that she couldn’t hold out on this position; it was too good. It actually started to be painful to hold on. “C-Cas-Cass… p-pl-please..” 

 

“Scream my name,” Cassandra demanded simply.

 

“B-But they-”

 

“I don’t give a fuck if they hear or not. You belong to me and it’s time everyone here knew that anyway.” Rapunzel didn’t respond so in one final act, Cassandra smirked and picked up Rapuznel’s hips ever so slightly before thrusting upward. Rapunzel’s mouth went slack, an immediate wave of painful pleasuring washing over her.

 

“A-Ah! Ok-okay f-f-fine!” Rapunzel eventually submitted, unable to hold it back anymore.

 

“Scream. It. And you’ll be rewarded, I assure you.” One more thrust was all it took and Rapunzel finally gave in.

 

“A-Agh - Cassandra!” 

 

“Good,” Cassandra responded, tightly gripping her hips. “Louder.” Unable to take it anymore, Rapunzel decided that her dignity be damned - she couldn’t hold it in anymore.

 

“CASSANDRA!” She screamed with everything she had. Cassandra smirked. 

 

“Good girl,” She responded and reached between them before gently rubbing her clit. That was all it took. Once she got the okay, Rapunzel finally let go. The release hit her like a ton of bricks - pleasure after pleasure taking over her senses to the point where she was sure she went deaf and blind for a second. She vaguely felt Cassandra fall into euphoria after her but she was too far gone to notice anything else around her. She wasn’t sure how long it took her to come down from her high but when she did, she could finally breathe and she was left trying to catch her breath; panting roughly, her chest heaving. Cassandra had fallen next to her, herself in the same state. 

 

“Wow,” Rapunzel eventually said breathlessly. Rapunzel turned to her with a satisfied grin. “I’m not sure whether I hated or loved that,”

 

Cassandra couldn’t help but let out a breathless laugh. “I, for one, enjoyed it a lot.” 

 

Rapunzel rolled her eyes. “Of course you did.” But she then cuddled into the warrior, pressing herself into her warm embrace. Cassandra immediately wrapped her arms around her and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. 

 

“We’re going on a date tonight,” Rapunzel said simply. 

 

Cassandra tilted her head. “A date? We haven’t had a ‘date’ since we were dating.”

 

“And that’s exactly why we're having one.” She then fixed Cassandra was a half-attempted glare. “And you have to let me treat you for once.”

 

“What? No way!” Cassandra defended. “That’s my job. You’re the princess.”

 

“If you want to use that logic then technically, you are too, since we’re married.” 

 

“I prefer prince instead of princess.”

 

Rapunzel tilted her head with an amused smile. “Why? ‘Princess’ too soft for you?”

 

Cassandra looked down at her and grinned. “Yes.” Rapunzel’s smile immediately fell and she huffed, gently shoving her, causing her to laugh. “And according to every fairytale, it’s the prince that treats the princess.”

 

“Maybe but we’re also not ‘every fairytale’ and with everything that has gone down these couple of months, I want to treat you for once.” Rapunzel then pulled out the big guns as she pushed her bottom lip outward a bit and gave the warrior a pleading, puppy-eyed look. “Please, Cass?”

 

Cassandra huffed and looked away. “Nice try. That’s not gonna work this time.”

 

Rapunzel pushed herself closer before grasping her cheeks gently, but tightly, to make sure that she couldn’t look away. “Please, Cassandra?” She repeated, letting out a small whimper for extra measure. 

 

Although she tried with all her might to resist, Rapunzel was just too adorable not to give in. The warrior groaned and as soon as she did, Rapunzel grinned cause she knew she got her. “Fine.” The warrior pouted. 

 

“Really?” Rapunzel asked, excitement edging in her voice.

“Yes,” Cassandra responded hesitantly. “But no big gestures or anything, got it? And this is the only time.”

Rapunzel nodded frantically, an excited, wide smile filling her face. “Uh-huh, I promise!” Cassandra never understood why stuff like this was so important to the princess but she decided she would put up with it all if it meant she could see her love smile like this. 

 

“I don’t know why it’s such a big deal or anything. It’s just a date.” Cassandra commented. 

 

Rapunzel gave her a half-exaggerated gasp. “It is not ‘just a date’,” She said in an offended tone. “It’s the first one we’ve had in years! And for once, I get to do the spoiling! It’s huge!” Cassandra merely rolled her eyes at her wife’s excitement but it was so infectious that a smile of her own couldn’t help but shine through.

 

“You better make it good because it’s the only chance you’ll get.”

“Oh, trust me,” Rapunzel responded, wrapping her arms around her neck to pull her closer to press a soft kiss to her lips. “I plan to make it the best night ever.”

 

Cassandra rolled her eyes. “Whatever you want,” Cassandra mumbled against her lips.

 

“Again, you’re gonna seriously regret saying that.” 

 

"Most likely but I kinda already dug my own grave, so,” 

 

“Oh come on, it’s not that bad.” Rapunzel tilted her head. “Why are you so keen on being the only one who can spoil anyway?”

 

“Because you’re my princess,” Cassandra responded. “And as your knight, it’s my job to treat you, not the other way around.”

 

“My knight? I thought you were my prince?” Rapunzel asked with an amused grin.

 

“I’m both,” The warrior responded simply.

 

“Hm, we’ll as your ‘princess’, it’s my job to answer to my subjects and reward my hard-working knight like she deserves, am I right?.”

 

“I guess,” Cassandra shrugged. 

 

Rapunzel rolled her eyes at her lack of wanting to be appreciated and nuzzled the warrior’s nose with her own. “It’ll be worth your while, I promise.”

 

Cassandra chuckled. “I don’t doubt that but don’t you think that after everything that you’ve been through, it should be me that-”

“Nope,” Rapunzel cut her off. “Because you went through so much with me and I just..” Rapunzel looked away and toyed with her hands. “Honestly Cass, I think I just need this. I think that I need to do this. For myself... And for you.”

Cassandra shrugged. “I don’t see any point but if it’ll make you happy then be my guest.” She then gave the princess a teasing smile. “I’ll sit through hours of your fussing and constant attention if that’s what you want.”

 

“Please, you love my attention. You basically begged it outta me the other day.”

 

Cassandra huffed. “I did not beg,”

 

“Oh, that’s right,” Rapunzel started sarcastically. “You gave me your ‘insanely annoyed and irritated’ tone and then tried to push me away again.” She then smirked. “And then you begged.”

 

Cassandra rolled her eyes and pulled her in by her hips. “If I remember correctly, I’m pretty sure you were the one that was begging.” Cassandra only smirked when Rapunzel’s face lit up in color. Rapunzel huffed and shoved her away, her face red. 

 

“S-Shush.” She said, covering her face.

 

“Aw, are you flustered?” Cassandra teased, Rapunzel merely continued to look away, her face growing even redder. “That’s adorable.” Cassandra nearly snickered when Rapunzel’s eyes snapped to hers in a glare. “My little snowflake getting flustered so easily~”

 

Rapunzel huffed and pushed away from her. “Call me snowflake again and I’ll give you something to laugh about,” She mumbled under her breath.

“Hm,” Cassandra made a humming sound before she pressed forward, her lips brushing against Rapunzel’s. “Was that a threat?” She asked darkly as she pulled the princess into her, tightly gripping her hips. Her voice was dark and threatening. 

 

Cassandra’s intense teal-ish eyes stared into her own as they basically froze her to the spot. Rapunzel cowered ever so slightly before looking away from her intense gaze. “N-No.” She responded simply.

 

Cassandra’s glare immediately lit up as she pulled back. “Good, that's what I thought.” She then smirked and scraped her nails down her back, causing her to shiver. “Because I have no problem showing you whose boss again.”

 

“Do you ever run out of stamina?”

 

“Do you?”

 

Rapunzel considered the question for a second before shrugging. “Touche.” But besides the topic, a yawn betrayed her. 

 

“Looks like I wore you out, huh?” Cassandra asked with a smirk.

 

Rapunzel’s eyes were half-open as a wave of exhaustion 

suddenly took her over. She gave her a half-hearted glare. “Shut up.” She said, her voice slurred. Another yawn arose from her. “It’s like mid-day… no time... For a nap..” Rapunzel mumbled but with each passing word, the closer and closer she got to slumber. Instinctively, she cuddled into the warrior’s warmth and pressed her face in the crook of her neck.

 

“We literally have nothing to do all day,” Rapunzel merely made a humming sound to show her she was listening but before Cassandra could say much of anything else, the princess was out. Cassandra chuckled and wrapped her arms around her, pulling the blanket over them in the process. A yawn of her own escaped from her mouth. “I guess a little nap won’t hurt.” The warrior mumbled. She pulled Rapunzel closer and nuzzled her face into her short brunette hair; breathing in the scent that was all Rapunzel.

 

As the warrior was dozing off, she couldn’t help but smile softly as she held her. Her reaction to ‘spoiling’ Cassandra warmed her heart like no other and quite honestly, she was quite excited to see what the princess had in store for her. She already loved the first ‘surprise’ Rapunzel had for her and for once, she was excited to be spoiled for a change. She didn’t allow it often - but if Rapunzel really wanted to treat her, then she wasn’t complaining. She might as well enjoy it while it happened. With that in mind, the warrior immediately started to doze off as she squeezed Rapunzel with tight and protective arms; the smile never leaving her face.
