“Zelda, dear? Might I ask you to bathe with me this evening?”Caught entirely off guard, Zelda nearly dropped her teacup, only saving it at the last minute from meeting a shattering fate on the balcony floor. “O-Oh! Oh dear, I-I don’t think that would be appropriate, my queen,” she stammered, nearly tripping over her words and flushing at least ten different shades of red. Growing up in Hyrule Castle, she’d often had maidservants assist her in bathing— drawing water, fetching towels, and the like— but never in her life had she bathed with anyone. Surely that wasn’t normal? Or— or perhaps it was another custom of the Zonai that she’d yet to learn about? Was she being impolite in her refusal; had she offended the queen?Sonia didn’t seem displeased, thankfully, if the twinkle of amusement in her deep green eyes was anything to go by. Zelda felt herself relax slightly, having expected a scolding (or worse). “Relax, Zelda; there is nothing shameful in enjoying the company of others while bathing. Here, it’s quite common,” she reassured the skittish princess— and then, with a conspiratorial wink, “As a matter of fact, in the seaside village where I grew up, it was quite normal to take a dip in the waters with no clothes on at all.”The rosy blush bloomed even deeper across Zelda’s cheeks; she looked amazed, as if such concepts had never even occurred to her before. Did— did the people of Lurelin Village in her own time still do that, she wondered? She couldn’t help but let her mind wander traitorously toward the sun-kissed sands of the coastal settlement, wondering what it would be like to— to wait until the cover of night, and then shed her clothes behind the cover of a tree, and then maybe—Sweet Hylia, what was she thinking?!Sonia chuckled affectionately at the way Zelda half-covered her eyes in embarrassment. “You needn’t do anything like that unless you want to, little princess. But for now, would you indulge me in some company, hm?” She extended her hand toward Zelda, warm and inviting.Zelda stared at it for awhile, still flushed and obviously hesitant, gazing at the delicate patterns of white paint gracing the queen’s skin. Would— would it really be so bad to try something new? She trusted Sonia, and if she were honest, the opportunity to see even more of the older woman’s beauty was a dangerously enticing idea. She shoved that embarrassing idea out of her mind and blamed it instead on her overly-curious nature. She was just learning a little more about the customs of ancient Hyrule. That was all it was.Slowly, Zelda curled her fingers around Sonia’s and offered a slightly bashful smile. “I’d be delighted to join you, Queen Sonia.”
___________ It seemed like centuries since Zelda had been able to truly relax and enjoy the luxury of a hot bath. At home in Hateno Village, she and Link tended to take turns washing with towels and a pail of heated water. She’d been uncomfortable undressing in front of her best friend at first, but after learning that he preferred men in the same way that she preferred ladies, they both soon relaxed about it, and it became simply another casual routine in their way of life. Zelda exhaled slowly, feeling her body start to relax against the queen’s, her anxieties melting into the soothing warmth of the water and the faint, heady scent of lavender and warm safflina. With her head nestled under Sonia’s chin, and her smaller body resting back against the queen’s chest, she could feel the steady rhythm of Sonia’s breaths and it soothed her. She no longer felt quite as anxious, or as ashamed of her nakedness. For what seemed a long while, Sonia let her simply get used to the new sensation of bathing without her usual privacy. By now, Zelda was fully relaxed against her, and the queen took a few minutes to truly appreciate the beauty of the little princess who shared her bath. Although much of her creamy ivory skin was hidden under the water, Sonia could feel her soft curves; she could see the very tops of Zelda’s perky breasts, and the snug little hollow of her throat. The queen longed to lavish kisses on every sun-kissed inch of Zelda’s skin, until the lovely girl was a soft, whimpering mess of arousal under her.“Are you ready for me to wash you now, dear?”Zelda stirred in the water, a faint squeak of surprise escaping her lips at the unexpected offer. Were.. were such things quite normal? Once again feeling foolish and ignorant of Zonai customs, she felt a deep blush climbing up into her cheeks. “O-Oh! I didn’t know that that was traditional.. please, forgive me..”“Hush my dear, you have nothing to be sorry for.” Sonia chuckled lightly, but her tone was soft and husky, and her blue-green eyes glistened with something not unlike desire. Zelda froze, suddenly feeling a rush of embarrassing heat as she realized that she was practically lying on top of the queen in the bath, all of her young body in full view. Oh Hylia, did Sonia think she was trying to seduce her?! Zelda opened her mouth in an attempt to offer a frantic apology, only to gasp as she felt the queen’s lips full on hers, soft and hot and wanting.“M-mn.. ah?~”To Zelda’s humiliation, a soft, needy sound escaped her. Sonia let out a muffled chuckle, nipping lightly at Zelda’s lower lip, which caused the girl to shudder and open her mouth for a panting breath. “Mn~” The queen took advantage of the moment, curling her tongue sensually around Zelda’s, and thoroughly enjoying the way the small blonde’s body pressed against hers instinctively.“Oh, my..~” Sonia drew away long enough to stroke her finger over Zelda’s slightly swollen lips, her tone a husky, almost maternal scolding. “What a needy girl you are, hm? I offer to wash you, and you are already so desperate to be touched, aren’t you dear?” Zelda’s cheeks were flushed scarlet with embarrassment; the poor thing looked as if she was about to dissolve into the bath. Short golden hair mussed and wet, her bare skin glistening and her big green eyes blown wide with arousal; she made an irresistible picture of both innocence and debauchery. “I-I’m so sorry Queen Sonia!” the princess stammered out, palpable distress emanating from her. “I-I didn’t mean to take advantage of your kindness, I–““Oh sweetling.. I’m not angry with you, Zelda,” Sonia soothed quickly, realizing that the girl hadn’t understood her teasing. She felt the princess slump gratefully against her, looking so relieved it was almost heartbreaking. Poor thing, how starved she was for approval and for love. Sonia would need to go slowly with her, she realized; the young princess needed to be taught that her desires weren’t shameful or something she needed to bed forgiveness for.“You are welcome to my touch, if that’s what you desire, little flower,” Sonia hummed softly in her ear, gently stroking the back of Zelda’s softly flushed cheek with her hand. “How about we just start by washing you though, hm?”“A-Alright, my queen,” Zelda breathed, her eyes still wide and a little glassy. She looked as if she hardly knew what to do with herself, watching with slight anxiety as Sonia gathered some of the scented soap into her hands. Goddesses, the beautiful queen of Hyrule was about to touch her, wash her. The thought of Sonia’s strong, graceful hands caressing her skin– maybe even dipping stealthily into warm, wet places– shouldn’t have made Zelda’s knees tremble, but it did.“There now, just relax, dear,” Sonia hummed. Zelda only flinched a little at the first contact, but the older woman was careful to keep her touch chaste, allowing the princess to get used to the unfamiliar sensation of being washed. The heady, floral aroma of the soap and the rich, cinnamon-spice scent of her queen were making Zelda’s head dizzy, though, and she shut her eyes, slowly relaxing against Sonia as she lathered the soap up onto her shoulders. “Mm.. you are so lovely, Zelda.. I can feel the strength humming under your skin; may no one ever underestimate you,” she whispered, appreciatively stroking one finger down the curve of Zelda’s bare spine. Such a proud, stoic girl; did she know how it felt to be arched back in ecstasy, or folded in on herself like a little doe of the wild?Zelda opened her mouth to protest– You don’t know how unworthy I am, how I’ve struggled; how I failed to unlock my powers and save my people– but Sonia hushed her softly, rubbing her skin in small, circular motions. A faint yet familiar warmth began seeping into Zelda’s bones, almost as if drawing out the negative emotions churning inside her, leaving only a pool of soothing heat. Without meaning to, Zelda let out a soft moan, not quite understanding what just happened to her, but feeling as if a tremendous weight had been removed from her shoulders. The princess nestled gratefully into Sonia, trying to find words to express how she was feeling, but all she could seem to muster was an eager, messy kiss. “Q-Queen Sonia–“Chuckling softly at the needy tone, Sonia nipped teasingly at the exposed flesh of Zelda’s shoulder, enjoying the little squeal she provoked. Her Zelda was utterly adorable, such a delightful mixture of innocence and seduction.“A-Ah!~” Zelda whined when Sonia tweaked her nipple lightly between her fingers. They were already embarrassingly pert from the slight chill in the room, but it was humiliating that the queen knew how worked up she already was.“Hush now, my dear; there’s no shame in enjoying the touch.~” Sonia’s voice was soft, laced with honeyed heat. Zelda couldn’t restrain a soft whimper of embarrassment as the queen squeezed her other nipple, coaxing them both into hard, rosy pebbles. “So sensitive~” Sonia cooed, catching the way the girl’s breath hitched every time she touched her. “I wonder, are other parts of your sweet body so responsive, little flower?”“I-I don’t know, my queen.. a-ah!~” 💚Sonia pressed the heel of her hand firmly against the girl’s clit, and Zelda immediately stiffened with a loud whine, her slender legs shaking. “Oh my!~” the queen giggled in delight, listening to the ragged intake of breath as Zelda tried to keep her hips still, her green eyes hazy with pleasure. “What pretty sounds you make, sweetling. Such a good girl~” She felt Zelda go slack against her at the praise, fighting another low moan. Sonia stroked her hand indulgently through the princess’ short, messy wet hair, enjoying the way Zelda almost melted into the touch.“P-Please, Queen Sonia.. please, touch me..” Zelda wanted to die of humiliation at how needy, how thoroughly debauched she sounded– straddling the beautiful queen’s lap in their bath, their breasts lewdly rubbing together, pleading for Sonia to touch her. The sticky heat pooling between her thighs was nearly unbearable. She wanted– no, needed the queen to touch her clit again, to put her fingers inside her–“Patience, needy girl~ There we go; breathe for me, dear,” Sonia’s voice was a low, musical hum, pressing warm kisses to her princess’ blushing cheek as she teasingly rubbed her thumbs along the puffy, slippery folds of her younger lover’s pussy. She spread the girl open lewdly, smirking only once as she felt how obscenely wet Zelda was. The determined little blonde was already wriggling her hips to try to get more friction, chewing her bottom lip plump and swollen, as Sonia finally pushed a finger inside of her.“O-Oh Hylia– Sonia– by the goddesses, more, please!~” 💚What a greedy girl~ Sonia giggled in delight, nipping at the sensitive tip of Zelda’s ear in a mock scolding. “Oh, do I have a naughty girl now? Are you demanding more?~”“S-Sonia! By Hylia, please—“ It was clear that Zelda was in no frame of mind to make demands; she was begging just as sweetly as a virgin, trying to get Sonia to touch that place that made her see the stars again. Her velvety walls were fluttering frantically, her sticky juices coating the queen's fingers as Sonia pulled them out of her suddenly, thoroughly enjoying the way Zelda jolted and keened in frustration at her lost climax.“Good girls use words to get what they want, sweet Zelda. Are you a good girl?~”Zelda nodded eagerly, eyes wide and glassy with pleasure. She wanted it so badly, needed it; she needed to hear the queen’s voice praising her again. She needed to cum. She was so wound up that if Sonia had produced a piece of raw zonaite and told her to fuck herself with it, she would’ve happily humped it right then and there if it meant hearing that rich, honeyed voice shower her with praise again.Flushing with shame and need, Zelda nuzzled against Sonia in the water, fighting against the humiliating urge to rub her aching pussy against the queen’s strong leg for some kind of relief. But Zelda knew how to follow orders. She was a good girl. Instead, she let out a muffled whimper and pushed her breasts forward, imploringly, longing for Sonia to touch her again. She needed it. A rush of red-hot arousal coursed through Sonia’s veins as she watched the dignified little princess of Hyrule thoroughly debasing herself for her queen. Beneath the surface, the proud girl was desperate to let her true self come out and play– soft, needy, so eager for affection and touch.”P-Please, my queen,” Zelda was begging her, this bright little star of hope was naked before her, pleading to be given her sweet release. “Please, p-please touch me, Queen Sonia; please let me cum!~” Goddesses be damned, Sonia could never deny her.”Then cum for me, my sweet flower~” 💚It took only a blessedly rough thrust of Sonia’s skilled fingers inside her, and Zelda was coming undone, her soft, earnest cry muffled by the hungry kisses of her queen. “Good girl,” Sonia purred in her ear– her strong, guiding hands were everywhere, petting and caressing her– “my good and perfect girl~” Zelda whined into the kiss, shaking, her mind numb and hazy with pleasure. No one had ever called her perfect, not even Link. Hardly anyone had even called her good. Her velvety walls clenched and fluttered as Sonia milked the bliss of her orgasm from her, all the while whispering praises in her ear and adorning her flushed skin with kisses.At last, her younger lover slumped against her in the bath, exhausted and wrung with pleasure. Sonia continued caressing her, but eased the touches to be chaste again, soothing and grounding. Uncertain, Zelda nuzzled into the touch, grateful for the skin-to-skin contact. “You did so well, sweet girl,” Sonia whispered in her ear, placing a warm and tender kiss on the princess’ forehead. “You are a treasure from the heavens, Zelda,” and for a few seconds, those bright green eyes flickered trustingly up to her, believing her. “T-Thank you, my queen,” Zelda whispered, so softly it could scarcely be heard. ___________
The bathwater had turned cold and the lamps burned low, but as the queen of Hyrule held the sleeping princess close to her chest, the warmth of the small golden soul inside her burned brighter than a holy flame.
