there remains mrs. hubbard. now mrs. hubbard, let me say, played the most important part in the drama. to play the part she played —the perfectly natural, slightly ridiculous american fond mother— an artist was needed. but there was an artist connected with the armstrong family; mrs. armstrong’s mother — linda arden, the actress.
a role play blog for mrs. caroline hubbard from murder on the orient express. movies and novel based.
an arched brow and caroline found herself smiling at the younger woman —- a stranger, or so she was supposed to be. the blue diamond that hung around her neck was instantly taken between the actress’ fingers, clutched and claimed as through she feared elle might consider ripping it from its silver string. ❝ thank you. but in case you were wondering, miss driver, i don’t need a diamond for the blue of my eyes to really pop. ❞
the gentle, comforting rocking of the orient express reminded caroline of where they were — of what the purpose of this trip was. and although she wished to keep things casual —two women seeing each other for the first time, with nothing in common except for the need to travel from one country to another— caroline didn’t hesitate to gesture towards the empty chair next to hers. a silent invitation for elle to take a seat and join her for a drink. ❝ not every woman on this train is as shallow as you might think. specially not the americans, but don’t tell anyone i said that. ❞
the sight of nothing but pure pleasure touching the woman’s features —— it has a blanket of fascination covering emma’s face , eyes intently watching and capturing every single detail that she wants to memorize and remember for the rest of her life ; from those parted lips smeared in rich crimson shades , the sinful sounds that escape them , the body that screams for her touch with its writhing and pushing towards more , to the woman that might be the most beautiful creature to ever exist in all realms.
she would be damned to miss any of that .
something that can only be described as wicked decorates the princess’ features , seeing as her lover gives up on what is left of her control and instead , allows herself to slip into the waters of obedience and pleasure ——— right where the younger woman wants her . emma’s fingers are ruthless , demanding inside of the other woman , repeatedly pulling waves of pleasure from her body without ever planning to stop . the free hand she uses to explore the rest of caroline’s form with , moves to wrap its digits around her governess’ chin , turning her face towards emma’s with their gazes locking for a moment . ❝ that’s the woman i love . ❞ the words manage to find their way out of her mouth before she claims her lover’s lips again , red and swollen against hers , releasing the sweetest of sounds that play like a melody through emma’s ears. ❝ how close are you ? ❞
so close —- too close for comfort and yet, caroline wouldn’t have dreamed of fighting it. the strength of her thighs had long failed her, and she relied on emma for support as her hips continued to bear down on the princess’ hand to meet its every thrust. breasts peaked and cheeks colored with deep, beautiful shades of red, the governess forced her own eyes to open and stare into the green depths of the other woman’s. a woman whom —despite her many, tireless efforts to stay away and remain at a safe distance— now held caroline’s heart in her palm. a princess —- although in that moment, there was nothing royally about the way she urged the older blonde towards the edge of a mind-blowing climax.
❝ so damn close. oh my god —- ❞ voice a trembling, weakened whisper, caroline’s gaze drifted away from emma’s just as her neck bowed forward. blue eyes now glued to the floor beneath feet, shoulder blades exposed as was the pale skin of her back. one, two more thrusts of the princess’ hand and they fell shut once again, body arching and hips nearly jumping as pleasure reached its peak and caroline began to come around emma’s fingers. silently, but only at first, a deep moan soon finding its way up from the back of her throat to her mouth and spilling into the cold air around them.
❝ you don’t dislike me as much as you claim to do. ❞ it wasn’t a question, but a statement, one that linda had known to be true for quite some time now. her hand that wasn’t occupied clutching the woman’s sword shifted to knot into the ocean of blonde, perfumed curls that cascaded down her shoulders, and she gave it a moment before standing on her toes to press her lips —pink and full— against elle’s mouth. leaving the taste of cigarettes and champagne behind, a teasing brush that ended with a soft, playful bite to the assassin’s bottom lip. she wasn’t so scary now, was she? ❝ are you going to let me see it, or should i try again harder? ❞
the eye follows each subtle
move hubbard felt inclined to make , allowing a mild smirk at the notion she’d
actually stopped what she was doing to make this little scene. ever the actress it seemed. a sigh escapes the assassin in the meanwhile
whilst a boot heel hooks onto the lip of
her table ── irritation setting in at the
growing theatrics.
“ relax , bette
davis. ” elle retorts whilst flicking the
ash from her filtered cigarette. “ i always think people’d be better off doing things my
way ─ but i’m not about to sit here & have that argument again. ” both eyebrows rise in
residual exasperation. “ so for now i’m simply
making conversation. the sword always makes for an interesting conversation starter , don’t you think ? ”
❝ not particularly. i can’t say that i do. ❞ despite having once feared the one eyed assassin —from her sadistic fascination with death and cold steel weapons to the sword she carried on herself at all times— linda had grown to appreciate, even seek, the woman’s company. but this, this she would not have. assuming a more comfortable position on the couch, naked toes mirroring elle’s own feet and resting on the cold edge of her table, she nibbled on the already broken skin of her bottom lip just to have something to do. something other than to stare into the blue depths of an eye that sometimes, specially at night, still managed to pebble the back of her neck with goosebumps.
❝ all these months and you still haven’t told me a single thing about yourself. ❞ linda’s words were carefully chosen, and she stopped long enough to take a deep breath before continuing. ❝ should i be worried i’m putting too much of my trust in you, miss driver? ❞
there was a smile, which would normally be comforting in times like these. but the governess wasn’t buying it one moment, already seeking out the slightest bit of movement to give it all away. as much as mary wanted to be completely void of emotion in this kind of situation, to do whatever it was to get what she needed and state her case, but there was undoubtedly worry in her eyes as well as concern. her grip on the other’s hands wouldn’t slack for a moment and she hardly cared what she might have looked from any other perspective, but she liked to think that she knew caroline well enough that she was qualified to do this.
“you don’t expect me that to believe you, do you? just a little breakdown?” she scoffed, almost in disbelief that caroline would even suggest something like that. then again, she knew how desperate she was to protect everyone else, even if that meant hiding for her true feelings that were by all means revealed to the dysfunctional family in the tunnel. “i am more than eager to leave the past behind, all of us are. but what happened out there… you need help, actual help, now more than ever.”
❝ yes, miss debenham. that’s exactly what i expect you to do. ❞ it wasn’t much like herself, opening her mouth to interrupt those whom she cared about … but something had to be done. caroline removed her hands and a deep breath was drawn, deep enough to stop the sea of tears she was determined to keep inside from ever seeing the light of day, and knowing that she would break again if she allowed herself a second moment of weakness. doing so had almost costed the woman her life, a carefully planned stunt the only reason why she was there, wrapped up in black silk instead of an equally dark, plastic body bag.
flicking the ash from her cigarette, purely out of costume more than anything else, caroline shifted on her seat to be able to cross her legs under the table and returned the governess’ glare. stripped of it’s usual warmth, colder than anyone had ever seen it look before. despite having meant it, the actress couldn’t have said she was proud of her own behavior. ❝ have you any idea what you’re asking me to do? talk about my feelings, like it didn’t kill me just to think about them. ❞
💉 This is a selective and private blog, which means I'll be picky with who I interact with. Having too many threads will get on my nerves, it's happened before and I'm not a big fan of dropping good stories.
💉 This blog is highly NSFW.
💉 I don't like being pressured for replies. Give me a week and then feel free to come at me and ask if I have our thread saved in my drafts. Chances are I do.

un/following
💉 If I hit the follow button, then it means I'm 100% interested in writing with you.
💉 I will not follow you if there are no rules/about page (OC's only) on your blog, our styles don't go well together or I can't see our muses interacting. It's nothing personal, but I do like keeping my dash clean.
💉 Blogs with little to no writing or that have been inactive for more than three weeks will be unfollowed, unless there's a hiatus notice.
shipping
💉 This is a multi-ship blog, the mun will not engage in sexual situations with minors but also doesn't mind fading to black.
💉 I ship my muse with chemistry. However, if you think our characters go well together and would like to try a ship, please let me know and we can discuss it. I'm a shipping piece of trash so chances are I will love it.

💉 If we're mutuals, feel free to send me memes, like starter calls and reply to open starters. My ask box is always open and you can contact me through IM's if you ever feel like plotting. You also have the right to ask for my Skype username.
💉 I don't mind having multiple threads with the same muse! Specially if it's a ship and helps develop their relationship.
💉 If we're not mutuals, you can still send me memes but you're not allowed to turn them into a thread.
💉 I will not roleplay with anons. It makes me uncomfortable so please, respect that.

💉 The only two triggers that will be tagged are NSFW and tw: gore. In other words, sex and graphic gore. If there's something you'd like to see tagged, please let me know and I will.
memes
💉 Not all memes will be answered, it depends on the muse and content of said meme. It can also take me a while to reply to them, threads come first.
💉 If you want to turn a meme into a thread, please make a new post for it.
💉 While I do not believe that you have to send me a meme every time you reblog one from me, if you're going to share or like more than three it'd be nice to get one in return. My blog is not a meme source.

about the mun
💉 You can call me either Lovett or Mayte. I'm 24 years old and live in Mexico.

💉 Writing is my biggest passion and I like getting to know my partners. If you come into my messages and just throw something random at me, you can be sure it won't bother me one bit.
💉 The mun suffers from severe anxiety that can be sometimes triggered by feeling like I have a lot to do and write. If I drop our thread or take forever to reply, please don't hate on me or assume I don't like you.
And I think that's it! Thank you for reading my rules and if you feel like it, send me an "I LOVE YOU, SALLY."
