"At the Stroke of Twelve" 

by littlemissjazz 

____________ 


Scene Set-Up: It is a warm summer night with a sweet breeze in the air. The royal ball is in full swing. The castle–your home–is overflowing with guests from all across the kingdom, including the finest, eligible women in their best gowns, anticipating their meeting with the prince. However, you–the prince–are not worried about them. As kind as you try to appear as your father watches from above like a hawk, pressuring you to take the hand of literally any woman available, your mind is on one woman and one woman only. 

She has possessed your mind ever since she walked in, appearing at the threshold like a manifestation of your dream. You knew you had seen this woman before. You knew you had to speak to her at least once. So when she exits to the royal gardens, you finally have your chance to be alone with this strange, alluring woman. 

Setting Notes: Cinderella is based in the 1830s, so feel free to add a little poetic sparkle to your words. Even an accent would be welcomed. :) Be as sappy & corny as you want! It's Disney-based!

[Sound of classical music & distinctive chatter in the distance as you walk outside] 


[Garden SFX including crickets chirping, cicadas singing & a fountain bubbling water in the distance] 


[The sound of footsteps accompanies you] 


[Footsteps cease as you pause] 


It is a beautiful night, is it not? (chuckles sheepishly) I’m sorry. Did I frighten you? Forgive me, I’m afraid I don’t have a heavy footfall to alert my presence. I get it from my mother. 


Was I...interrupting you? I’m sorry if I was. It was just becoming extremely hot in that ballroom that I needed some air. And where better to get that air than the royal gardens? I am assuming you had the same idea as me. 


Are you enjoying the ball so far? [A pause] Is this your first time to one? 

[A pause] (chuckles) Do you give it away? Well, you didn’t at first, but now that you mention it… 


(chuckles) I tease you, miss. You could have fooled me, whether I frightened you or not. Your gown is made for even the most prestigious woman who enters a royal ball. [A pause] You’re very welcome. 


So...are you enjoying yourself? [A pause] It’s magical, eh? Well...if you say so. [A pause]


(sighs) Well, when you’re the prince of the kingdom, balls become a daily routine. And for me, they unfortunately are. It takes a lot of work to create an event such as this and even more time hosting it. 


(laughs at her shock) What is that look on your face, madam? [A pause] Why, yes, I am the prince. Prince [Insert Name Here], but just call me [Insert Name Here]. There’s no need for royalties in my presence. 


Pleased to meet you… Forgive me, but I didn’t catch your name. [A pause as she responds] Hmm...lovely. Then, as the gentlemen I am, may I place a kiss on your hand? [A pause] *softly* Thank you. [A soft kiss] 


(chuckles) Your blush is adorable. This really is your first time at a ball, isn’t it? [A pause] (laughs) You don’t get out much? Well, take it from me, miss: there is not much to see. This kingdom is fairly small, but I suppose the wide oceans, mountains, forests and roaring fields in the countryside are worth seeing. 


[A pause] Not as worth seeing as these gardens, hm? They are especially worthy at night when the fireflies come out to play and the moonlight shines its silvery glow onto the flowers. These gardens were my mother’s. Would you like a tour? I assure you that there are more of these swan-shaped fountains to bestow. [A pause] *delighted* Then follow me, madam. 


[Footstep sounds as you two begin to walk] 


So I must ask you...are you one of the many maidens my father invited to this event? *sheepishly* Forgive me; how stupid of a question to ask. 

*irritably* My father was already very serious about the “every unwedded young maiden will attend” thing. The old man is hellbent on finding me a suitable wife so he can get his grandchildren. 


[A pause] Do I wish to marry? Well...yes. Yes, I do. But I want it to be my choice. I’d love to marry a kind, beautiful woman who will love me regardless of my flaws, but not because my father wants me to or chooses my bride-to-be. My mother always said that love does not work that way. Sometimes I think my father just wants to see me marry before he passes. 


[A pause] (chuckles) I’d be a suitable husband, hm? What, because of my riches and my status? 


[A pause] *shocked* My generosity and my honesty? Well...you’d be the first one to say that. Many of the women I’ve come across do not look past my face or the fact that I have all the treasures in the world. But you...you don’t. In all the time I’ve known you, you’ve always looked inside me. 


[Footsteps cease] 


Forgive me. I know my words are strange to you as we’ve only met each other minutes ago...but we haven’t. We have met before, but not here. Somewhere else. Somewhere beyond here, on the softest beaches. 


And I can explain it all to you if you’ll step into the moonlight. Yes, where the light hits the white rose bushes behind you. Come into the light, my beautiful mystery maiden. 


[A pause as she obliges] 


*wonderstruck* Your face...your gorgeous, gorgeous face… I knew it. I knew it was you. I have seen you so many times in my dreams. I have seen your face, heard your voice, felt your touch... tasted your lips. I knew it from the moment you walked into the ball. Every other woman in there did not matter to me anymore. Only you. That is why I followed you out here. 


*unsure, nervous* Do you...remember me? I will step into the moonlight with you. 


[A pause] The way you’re looking at me… *excitedly* You remember me too, don’t you? You have seen my face in your dreams as well. You remember our meetings. Maybe you didn’t know I was the prince, but since you do now...what is your response? 


Oh...your hand feels so soft in mine. So...right. Your face is so angelic in the moonlight. And those eyes… Forgive me, but I must kiss you. I must taste the sweetness I have been chasing after in my sleep. 


[Soft kissing sounds] 


Why are you pushing me away? [A pause] We...we can’t do this? Why not? We have found each other after dreaming of each other for so long! You can’t… [She begins to leave] No. No, please! Please don’t go! Wait! 


[You grab her hand] No, I won’t let go. I won’t because I know you don’t want me to. From the way your hand clings to mine… You want to give in, but you are scared. Tell me why, my beautiful lady. Tell me what has you so frightened. If it is truly me then I will let you go and– 


[A pause] No? It’s not me? Then what is it? Sit with me by the fountain and tell me. 


[A pause] You are not a maiden of wealth? What does that matter? I don’t care about wealth nor the status of a woman. To hell with that! [A pause] *shocked* Unworthy? My beautiful, foolish woman, look at me. 


Nothing about you is unworthy. You are worthy of any man you set your beautiful eyes on. If someone here is unworthy, it is me. I do not deserve to revel in your kindness or your beautiful energy. I am honored to be sitting with you here as I am to have been with you in my dreams. Even if my father had forced me to marry another woman by dragging me down the aisle chained and gagged, I would have still searched for you. 


You are truly the one I want. Please, my love...let me make our dreams a reality. [Soft kissing sounds in between dialogue] Yes, kiss me. Let this sweetness bloom between us. Please do not leave me. Not again. 

(softly gasps) Oh...the way you cling to me so tightly is almost too good. Your skin is so sweet and soft. Everything about you is so...beautiful. 


(softly grunts) Forgive me. No, it isn’t you at all. I am just afraid I will let my passion and want for you consume me too quickly. *in a soft, deeper tone* Yes, I want you. Please forgive me if I am improper. I am trying to be a gentleman, but I’m afraid the fire is too much. 


[More urgent kissing sounds] 


That kiss was so….passionate. I am guessing you want me too? [A pause] R-Right here? I...yes. God yes. I will do anything you command. I am completely at your mercy. 


[Kissing & soft moaning improv in between dialogue] God, you feel so good! I never thought I’d be able to touch you like this. I thought sensations such as these were only possible in my dreams. 


Don’t move. Feel my hands slip under your dress. Let’s get rid of these undergarments, shall we? [Sound of clothes rustling] No, nobody should see us over here. The bushes and trees are blocking the windows. Relax yourself, my love. I would never do this in the view of unwanted guests. 


*slightly demanding* Open your legs. Wider. Yes, that’s it. [A pause] My God...you are so beautiful. Your flower petals are glistening wet. You truly do want this, don’t you, my beautiful girl? 


Allow me to kiss up your thighs [Soft kissing sounds] leading a trail right to that sweet, delectable cunt of yours. I can see you blushing. (chuckles) Do my filthy words make you shy, my love? 


[A pause] They make you wetter… (chuckles nervously) Now it’s my turn to blush. It wasn’t enough to have a prince on his knees for you, was it? 


*demanding* Enough talk. Time to taste what I have been dreaming of for so long. 


[Cunnlingus sounds in between dialogue] Mmm, yes! God, you taste so good! I didn’t think anything could be so sweet. And your moans… They are music to my ears. No ballroom music can compare. Yes, my gorgeous girl, writhe and buck your hips. Let me take you there. Let me make you spasm all over my face. 


[Cunnlingus sounds & dirty talk improv] {Keep it romantic & poetic cuz...you know...fairy tale shit lol} 


[Cunnlingus sounds intensify as she gets closer] You’re about to cum, aren’t you? Please do it, my love! Let me lap up that honey with my tongue! God, please cum for me! Give me the gift of your orgasm. Cum all over my face! 


[More encouragement & dirty talk improv as she finally climaxes] 


[Moaning & gasping excitedly as you continue] God, you’re still cumming! You taste so delectable! Mmm, I never want this to end. Keep gushing around my face, my darling. Keep cumming for me. Let me lick up every last drop of your honey. 


[More encouragement & dirty talk improv until you finish with a sign] 


[A pause] Now it is my turn? *nervously* Are you sure? [Listener says yes] Well...only if you want to. I hope you do not feel like you must just because I took care of you. Oh...that hunger in your gaze is...quite arousing. *in a demanding tone* Fine then. Get on your knees. 


[Moaning in between lines] Yes, take my **** out. Feel it. Stroke it. Feel what you do to me. Yes, just like that. I have to keep quiet, but goddamn, is it hard! (snickers) No pun intended. You did this to me, you vixen. Now you must take care of it. Face your consequences. Yes, put me in that pretty mouth. 


[Blowjob sounds & moaning improv in between lines] Oh! Oh, God, yes! Yes, that’s amazing, my gorgeous girl. The way you swirl your tongue around the head and down my shaft...and then take me back into your mouth… (gasps) What sorcery is this? The way you work your mouth on me cannot be legal. 


Such a prim and proper woman and yet so naughty. Are you my naughty girl tonight? God! The way you bob your head as you nod… You’re going to make me cum so quickly, my love! The way you swirl your tongue around and around...and the way I can see the moonlight glinting in those eyes… 


[Blowjob & moaning/grunting/groaning improv] 


[Gasing & panting as you get closer]  I’m going to cum! Y-You must stop before I… You want me to cum? Then you’d better take it. Take every ounce of my seed down that throat! Goddammit yes, make me cum, my love! Make me cum for you! 


[Moaning & dirty talk improv as you finally climax] 


[Panting] That was...wonderful. Come here and kiss me. I want us to taste each other. [Soft kissing sounds] Delicious, just like you. But as satisfying as that was, I am not done with you yet. Come with me behind these bushes. No one will see us here. 


[Sound of rustling] 


*In a demanding tone* Now bend over. You heard what I said. Bend. Over. Do you wish to go against the prince’s wishes? ….I thought so. [A pause] Are you giggling? (chuckles) Do you find this amusing, my darling? Are you having fun? Good. Then this next part should be even better for you. 


Do you like the way I hike up your dress without a care? Does the cool summer air feel good on your bare skin? How about my big hand coming down on that sweet ass of yours? Does that feel good, my little vixen? 


*in a whisper* Shhh...Hush, my love. Any louder and my guards will come looking for us. You scream like that again and I’ll have to cover your mouth. 


Alright...I’m going to slide in now. Tell me if it hurts and I’ll stop, understand? [A pause] Good. 


[Moaning as you first sink inside] Oh, God! I...My God, this is...incredible! I’ve been with women like this before, but...you’re so different. So tight...and wet...and lovely. 


Does it feel good for you too, my love? [She says yes] *relieved* That’s good. I want us to feel good together. 


[Moaning improv in between lines] Yes, my darling! Hold onto me tighter. Wrap your legs around me. Here, I’ll hike them up onto my hips so I can (grunts) get that spot. Mmm, the way you just moaned like that… (chuckles) No, no, my love, be as loud as you want. I was only teasing before. They won’t hear us over the music playing. 


*in a whisper* And if they do, so what? I want them to hear us. I want them to know that I am ******* the most beautiful woman in the world. 


(chuckles) Do you like the way I talk to you, darling? Do you like me using such dirty words? [Moaning improv in between lines] Such language for a prince! You did this to me, my sweet girl. You turned me into this. And now you must take me as I am. Take my ****, my gorgeous girl. Take all of me. 


[Moaning & dirty talk improv] 


I want you to know that even if you are to leave me after this, there will be no one else. No other woman except you. Please know that. [Gasping & panting] ****...****, you’re clenching around me! You’re about to… Me as well, my love. I-I’m about to cum. 


[Moaning & dirty talk improv con.] 


I want you to cum with me. Do it! Clench that beautiful ***** around me and cum all over my ****! Make a mess of me, my darling! 


[Moaning, *** sounds & dirty talk improv until you finally climax] [Throw some encouragement in there too] 


[Softly panting as you come down from your high] Oh...oh, my Goodness. That was fantastic. 


Oh! Forgive me, my darling. I was squishing you, wasn’t I? I just felt so exhausted and… [A pause] You want me to lay on you? Only if you want me to. Just hold me as I hold you. Please. I need to feel your arms wrapped around me. Need to know that you’re here...and you’re real. 


[A pause of silence as you cuddle] 


[A pause] (laughs softly) What now, you ask? Well, I can see the rest of this night going in one of two ways: Number 1, you leave this ball and we never see each other again and I fall into a deep depression at losing my love. 


Or number 2...you stay with me. You do not have to marry me if you do not wish it, but you can stay with me in the castle. Or we can go wherever you want. You never have to be alone again. Or maybe I’m just talking crazy. 


[A pause] You...you do? You really want to stay with me? *happy* Oh, my love! Kiss me. Kiss me with everything you have. I need to feel you against me. [Soft kissing sounds] 


Maybe it be by fate or by coincidence, I’m so happy we’ve finally found each other. No longer will either of us have to walk our lives alone. 


*excitedly* We must waste no time then. Come with me so we can tell my father. This silly ball can finally be put to rest. 


[A pause] Hm? Oh...you want this ball to continue. (chuckles sheepishly) Forgive me, I know I’m excited. I just wish to start our lives together as soon as possible. 


[A pause] You’re right...They already have. Come, my love. Let us spend the rest of this night in each other’s arms. 


[A pause] Hm? My darling...what's happening to you? Your...your gorgeous dress! It's nothing but rags now! Wha...I-I don't understand. 


[A pause] Magic? You used magic to give you such an appearance? But why would you do that? [A pause] I see...so you really aren't a woman of wealth. You've been kept away from it all your life, shut out of the life you wish to live. 


No, no, shhh. Don't cry, my darling. Please don't. You are still as beautiful as when you first arrived at the ball tonight. Even more so. You know why? Because this is the real you. And I adore the real you. This only makes me want to sweep you up and away even more. 


Feel my arms wrap around you and know that I am real. This. What we have. Is real. And I would be honored to spend the rest of my days with you if you wish it. 


Now...let us rest. We will tell my father together once the ball ends. And then we'll get you some decent clothes. (laughs lightly)
