The girls all separate and start chatting incessantly with laughs in between and I realise they are somehow all understanding each other. Ingwe speaks to them in passable Sandersonian and they treat her politely before going all gaga over Aurora again.
Kuyoki then separates and in a rare display of public affects vaults herself into my arms with that fluid grace and I find my hands around her waist and our lips hungrily kissing at each other. I moan into the kiss as the passion and taste has an immediate effect on my state of arousal, losing myself into the kiss.
Its only when I notice the giggling of the girls that I pull away slightly and give her a questioning eyebrow before I notice the change in her aura. I frown as she grins and use examine on her and she let’s me.
“You’re pregnant.” I say the obvious but I’m so surprised I’m not sure what else I could have said.
“You’re very observant Sachihiro.” Mira says succintically with a snort and a little smile for me.
“Congratulations though, I know you’ve always wanted a big family.” She says and siddles between Kuyoki and I giving me a warm heartfelt hug before quickly siddling back out.
I’m also grinning ear to ear like a mad man as I hold Kuyoki’s hand tightly, my heart swelling to different proportions in my chest. I take a step through the cluster of girls playing with Aurora and looking on curiously at our displays.
“Hey you.” I say to Ingwe as I pull her to my as well and kiss her gently on the lips. She smiles and nods in acknowledgement before quickly looking away from my eyes with a blush.
Being kissed this way in public by a man and being included in the aura of affection I’m giving off coupled with the direct eye contact being a bit much for her Alderman ways. I grin at her reaction and Mira just laughs a full open-mouthed laugh. I haven’t heard that sound coming out of her in a long time, I didn’t even realize I had missed it.
“We are going to need to build a bigger home.” I say suddenly to everyone present.
Mira is already shaking her head in the negative. “There is no space in Paradisum for new homes Sachi.” She says and I love that she is secure in the knowledge that she is part of my family. We may not be mated but she is the mother of my children as well and one of my most trusted friends, we’ve been through shit together.
“It doesn’t have to be in Paradisum exactly, maybe a day’s travel or more from the city. Someplace private and safe, some place we can spot an attacker coming a mile away, someplace big enough to accommodate all of us and space for each of you to have at least 5 more children.” I say in my excitement.
“All of us?” Mira asks with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.
“All of you.” I say as I look at all their faces, none of them seem to have a problem with what I’m saying or the inclusion of Mira in having another baby. At least no ones aura of happiness is changing nor is there even a look of surprise on Kuyoki’s still radiantly smiling face.
Mira just snorts and looks away playing with the hilt of her katana and drawing circles on the floor with her foot. “We’ll have to negotiate.” She says not looking at any of us trying to hide her happiness.
“I’m not some kept woman that stays home and takes care of the children you know, and I have appetites. You know this about me, you probably know this best.” She says, now worry coming into her voice as she sobers from the high of joy we’ve all been experiencing.
All the reasons she thought she would never mate coming to the forefront of her mind again, they really did a number on her during her time in slavery. But before she can protest further she finds herself enveloped in a hug by Saya, Didi and Aurora in Saya’s arms. She relaxes almost immediately and looks up again with a smile.
“We’ll see.” Is all she manages to say after that and we all walk in an awkward clump back to the city.
Chapter 80
Sachihiro
“How are you feeling?” Carmella asks casually as we stand at the threshold of the door to her personal training chamber in the basement of her manor.
“I feel fine.” I say casually trying not to admire her eery beauty too much with the new sense I now know to be almost undetectable to people.
So far its only the sidhe fae that feel it when I looks at them closely enough with this phantom sight, and I especially try not to look at the silent Vevina very closely. Before I knew she could feel my sight on her I studied every facet of her, thinking myself clever by looking at her most closely when she was standing behind me or outside my visual range.
It was two days later when an amused Namid pointed out that they could all tell what I was focusing on that I realized I’ve been practically openly staring the entire time I’ve been here. She is yet to say a word to me still but ever since I’ve been coming to Carmella for pointers in magic with Mira and the two fae women Mira trains with she has been present.
My fascination with her is obvious and when Mira figured it out she just snorted and told Kuyoki about it as soon as we got home that day. I got an odd look from my first mate that day, one I couldn’t decipher before being given a nice foot massage by my pregnant mate and we began verbalizing plans of building another home.
Since my Awakening my feet have been very sensitive and itchy a lot of the time, its strange for an Awakened to have an itch of any kind so Kuyoki has been massaging me regularly. I think she feels a bit guilty that her clan believes there should be no intercourse when the woman is pregnant, and I’m yet to get any action since I Awakened.
It’s frustrating I will admit, I seem to be perpetually horny or at the edge of being horny since my Awakening and I think it has something to do with the mana. But Kuyoki is out for the next 4 months of her pregnancy, Ingwe is undergoing what her people call moonblood. And Mira, well Mira and I have a lot to figure out before we formalize anything between us.
“You just seem a bit tense that’s all.” Carmella says nonchalantly before sitting and continuing with the explanation.
“Usually a human will have a single type of mana, which will be for whatever their specific branch of magic is. For instance a fire mage has mana that can only be manifested as fire. It may be different kinds of fires but it will be fire all the same, or the underlying principal for the creation of fire but that’s usually after Archmage level.” She says with a wave of her hand and goes back to the meat of her explanation.
She has done that numerous times since I started coming here 3 days ago. She mentions what I feel is a huge fundamental secret to elemental power and then just brushes over it as though it were some common piece of knowledge. Or she will make a reference to Grandmaster Magician level or even Archmage level casts as though it’s just a stage that is easily attainable.
“From what I’ve been able garner about your mana it hasn’t yet decided what it wants to be. You need to keep up with your meditation and I will get you more mana stones for you to drain whilst your mana is still unsettled and malleable. It’s important we get your none existent foundation as solid as possible if you are ever to be anything besides a dabbler when it comes to elemental power.” She says smoothly.
I’ve been Awakening for a long time now and because I am yet to fully consolidate everything still I have been avoiding sparing in the Awakened Arena or any other form of testing myself in front of others. I need to find out my own limits first before I face off against anyone else lest I do irreparable damage to either myself or my opponent.
My limits are yet to be determined though, so I’m focusing on the mana and magic part of my Awakening until I can get a handle on the design the ‘universe’ went for when remaking me. My feet seem to be primarily strange these past few days since I got back from the trip with the girls.
“Anyways though it is too early for you to learn any type of elemental manipulation before it becomes apparent what your powers affinity is you may still learn mana manipulation techniques. I am too busy to take you on personally but I will recommend you to Sergei, one of my descendants.” She says prou
dly.
I know Sergei or at least I know of him. He is a part elven fae rumoured to be nearly a thousand years old and a pure druid and plant based elementalist on the peak of becoming a sidhe. I’m not sure what it entails to become a sidhe but if it takes someone of Sergei’s reputation nearly a thousand years then these creatures must be powerful beyond normal measure.
“He is in need of a new pet project to sink his teeth into and keep himself occupied at this point in his life. If he doesn’t take you he should recommend you to another good teacher for someone at your level. I wi-”
She suddenly stops speaking then turns to fully face the other face woman present in the room. Which sort of gives me an excuse to put my attention on her again. They are speaking mind to mind that much is obvious, but I’m still curious as to why I’d never heard her speak out loud before.
Carmella looks back to me with amusement clear on her face as her eyes sparkle. “Vevina here will take you on and conduct your training personally, you should be honoured. I will leave you two to get acquainted and finalize your own arrangement. Come see me with your progress often, remember our agreement, I will support you as long as you let me observe the progress of your soul and you threaten nothing of mine.”
With that she rises smoothly from her wooden chair and walks out of the room like a silent breeze, not making a single sound as she walks. Now that I’m at this level of power I’m at I think I should at least be able to gauge the power difference between me and a sidhe but I still get nothing.
Not even with my new senses do I get any information about the remaining sidhe silently watching me coolly. Even the clothes she is wearing and anything within her immediate vicinity is silent to me. Our eyes meet and her stern face is the only thing keeping me from visibly ogling this beautiful creature.
I frown as I realize that I am getting something from some of my senses pertaining to her, yes her soul is detectable to me faintly. Is that what has attracted me to this sidhe in particularly ‘cause to be fair they are all so physically beautiful that it can’t just be looks that attract me to one over another.
We quietly stare at each other for a few minutes and I bask in this uniquely rare opportunity to study a sidhe as much as I possibly can. I find her completely and utterly flawless and I can understand the rumours that the sidhe design their own bodies. She is the shortest of the Paradisum 9, the sidhe that have made their home here.
How powerful are these creatures really, are they at imperium level of power, are they stronger? Gorr seems to hint that they are but he never really specified to anything. What does he see with those eyes of his I wonder now that I have such a different perspective on what sight actually is.
“Do you find me appealing?” She projects to me directly in Universal.
“Yes.” I immediately respond back out loud, my cock swelling for some reason at the sight and sound of her inside me.
“You will be my bed partner during our training, is this acceptable to you?” She asks smoothly.
“Yes.” My cock is now warm and as hard as a hammer head inside my pants and I’m sure she can see the outline of it.
“Good. I will conduct your training in the Arena and that will start tomorrow, today I bed you. Carmella has been gracious enough to provide us rooms. Follow me” She says walking away smoothly.
I follow without a word, my cock straining like a tree branch wanting to grow out straight from me.
Chapter 81
Sachihiro
I’m led to a big beautiful room with large pillows, soft carpets a pool of crystal clear water and a large bed with four posts on each corner mounted both to the floor and the ceiling. I take everything within the room at a glance of my dimensional awareness and then place my full attention on the beautiful creature before me again.
She turns to face me and I move into her personal space boldly as a primal part of me comes to the surface. Its almost as though I’m at the edge of the Rage as I touch her face delicately, caressing my fingers over her cheeks and jaw.
I want to feel her and my other hand starts touching her thought her clothes in my impatience as my new senses take on a different hue than the one I’m used to till now. I can feel her body almost as well as I can see her within my mind.
She has let me within the walls of her aura and I can feel her in entirety like I’m a pool of water she has just fully sunk into. Its as if my aura has turned into hands as I feel her like I’m physically touching her entire body with my own.
The increased pitch of her breath and the dilation of her serpentine pupil implies she feels as though she is being touched as well. She can feel my aura physically caressing her, bypassing her clothing and touching directly on her smooth cold skin.
“Can you feel that?” I ask in my own trance like state as I take in the new sensations in wonder.
“Yes.” She says with a voice that drives me into ecstasy and I have a micro orgasm into my pants at the sound of her.
“Spirits beyond, if you speak again I think we will need more than a day to satisfy each other.” I say in a deeper voice as my Rage moves closer to the precipice.
It has been rumoured that the sidhe can induce the Rage within us during sex by some of the men that have been bedding them, something that should be impossible to do. But maybe this is how they do it, any form of mind control or influence usually induces the Rage. Maybe trying to influence us during sex is how they do this thing that’s been rumoured about in whispers at the long-houses.
“There is no rush, the dimensional chamber is not in use if you still have energy for more sex.” She projects to my mind, her eyes staying on mine searchingly.
I lean down for a kiss and she frowns but doesn’t move away. I peck her gently on her small lips and get no response, another one I will need to teach about kissing. I pull her tightly against my body as hard as I can then I gently and slowly flood her with slow wet baby kisses all over her face.
Why is it that I always want to put these beautiful things in my mouth? Her face is both gorgeous and adorable at the same time and I just want to eat her up. I settle for kissing though and she soon catches on that’s its enjoyable as my aura lips and hands caress her body.
She grinds her body against mine breathing hard and giving herself to me eagerly, more eagerly than I expected from the control freak reputation the sidhe have amongst the tribesmen. I really can’t seem to get enough of her and the extra sensations from my aura are like having someone lovingly lick my balls whilst I still have this beauty in my arms.
I could do this for hours and I feel she is also enjoying herself as well, her aura, her spirit, her feel. My lips peck hers again and this time she reflexively pecks back, we kiss again and again and again and I can tell this is a novelty to her so I let it go on longer than I normally would. What kind of people don’t kiss each other though, its a tragedy really. Especially not kissing such a beauty as this Vevina in my arms.
The kisses linger longer and longer as I also start pulling the laces of her soft cloak, I pull it off her shoulders gently as I continue to shower her with kisses and phantom touch. I create some distance between us and start unlacing her pants and am pleasantly surprised to feel her unlacing mine.
I finishes first and pull her tucked shirt out of her pants and over her head as she lifts her arms to assist me. I could already feel her entire naked body with my awareness even before I undressed her as she let me into her aura. Her pink erect nippiles are still nice to look at though and they will definately be getting my attention later.
I pull my own tunic over my head and she takes the opportunity to kick off unclasp her sandles and kicks them off easily before finishing with my pants and sticking her cool hand into them to my throbbing manhood.
I sigh as the burning warmth of my throbbing manhood is cooled slightly by her hand before going back in for a kiss. Our deepest kiss yet as she instinctively opens her mouth for me and I get my first real taste of her inside my mouth. I groan as our
tongues mingle and I suck in her saliva within myself.
“You taste amazing.” I say as we take a breath and her little smile as she plays with my manhood is exquisite.
“Thank you.” She says out loud and I jizz a little on her hand.
She frowns and bends down to pull my pants all the way down to my ankles, coming face to face with my wet but still throbbing manhood. Her eyes stay glued on it curiously as she undoes the laces of my boots and pulls them off one at a time.
It throbs encouragingly in her face but she just watches it like its a curious animal she is finding fascinating.
“Lick it.” I say encouragingly as she finishes pulling one pent leg off, completely out of my mind with lust at the sight of her so close to my cock, practically breathing on it.
She looks up at me curiously her head slightly askew before leaning forward and taking a slight taste with her inquisitive tongue. I shiver at her cold tongue on my cock-head, I shiver again and produce more precum at the sight of her actually nibbling on her tongue exploring the taste.
My gods, she’s like a child exploring sex for the first time. And why do I find that so arousing when I found it so frustrating with Ingwe? She licks the head again and I can see her trying to decide whether or not she likes it, I’m not sure how to push this because at the back of my mind I know this creature could break me in half if she so chose but fuck it.
I lean my cock forward and bump it into her face, she looks up again and I lean it forward again and I find myself opening my mouth as she opens hers to take the entire head inside and sucks gently. I sigh the blissfully sigh of a man sinking into a bath of the perfect temperature as I sink inside of her body for the first time.
Our auras finally mingling fully in a cascade of colours as I penetrate into her with my cock. I groan at the sensation of her questing tongue on my rod. I pull out, bend down and pull her up to me as I lead her to a particularly soft looking spot on the floor.
