[Side Story] What was Alesia brewing?

Alesia felt kind of guilty that she didn’t care if Rosalind was de-possessed or not. Obviously, she would still work with the group, and seeing Earnest so distressed over Rosalind did make her feel sad, but she herself wasn’t helping to save Rosalind, she was helping because a hunk named Earnest walked in while she was masturbating and she was so horny that she agreed to help. Normally, Alesia wouldn’t even dream about doing anything bold like taking down users of dark magic, but Alesia’s lust overrode any sense of self-preservation and made her agree to help. She spent the trip to Knottori mentally berating herself for agreeing to do something this dangerous just because she wanted to fuck a guy who was moving heaven and earth for another girl. As much as she wanted to believe that doing this would get her into his pants without fail, and created lewd fantasy after lewd fantasy of Earnest “repaying” her with his chiseled, virgin body, that she would be his first time and claim him- the logical part of her constantly reminded her that she was doing all this so her crush could get with another girl.

It was this frustration that fed into her taking Earnest’s discarded sleepwear after he left to trail Rosalind and masturbate furiously. Smelling him on his clothes was unbelievably arousing, and she was very thankful that Earnest and Morgan weren’t potion specialists, because someone with more knowledge in potions would have realized that her brewing a batch of fortification potions with the ability to be enchanted with dark magic would have taken half a day, at the most. With her level of skill, it was more like a couple of hours, most of which was waiting. There was a reason she was known to the town of Lindow as the go-to vendor for potions, despite her eccentricities, and that was because she was excellent at what she did. If she wasn’t so off-putting and awkward in most social settings, she could probably make a decent living working under someone else’s practice or running her own practice in the capital. For better or for worse, however, she was rather off-putting, and awkward, and her almost unrestrained lust towards targets of her affection and concerning fixation with mind control and love potions doomed her chances of climbing too high in society. At times, she would lament this during masturbation sessions in the back of her Lindow store, but if it allowed her to sleep in the same bed with Earnest and jerk off using his clothes, perhaps not realizing her full potential was worth it. And if she could somehow claim Earnest, maybe through one of her love potions, well, that would be her dream come true.

The thought of her somehow gaining ownership of Earnest- maybe out of a debt of gratitude, or a love potion- or even through some of the dark magics they were trying to counter, fueled her past her first orgasm and towards her second one. Yes, she would make Earnest her live-in sex ****, a freeuse fucktoy that would make her solo-masturbation sessions a thing of the past. She would make him take her on dates, or maybe she would take him on dates, and revel in the power that she had over an accomplished member of the kingdom’s knights. As embarrassing as her introduction as Earnest’s girlfriend in the tavern was, the thrill she got from being able to pose as Earnest’s girlfriend, wrap her arms around his muscled arm, and feeling the gazes of jealous bachelorettes on her back made her feel powerful. It was addicting, a different feeling from cumming but amazing all the same. She wanted more of it. And, well, if she was going to be helping him so much anyway, with him going back to work for her after this whole incident wrapped up… well, why shouldn’t she have some “options” to make sure that he became hers? It was only fair, right? Only fair.

After her third orgasm, all Alesia could do was bask in the afterglow, mind filled with lewd fantasy after lewd fantasy of Earnest. Perhaps she should help Morgan study these possession and mind control spells, just in case… after all, having a deep, intimate knowledge of these magics could help her in making a more effective counter-potion. Anything after that was just a nice bonus.

Eventually, though, she had to recover, and got up to check in on her potions. Just as she thought, her batch came out perfectly- this part of the process, at least, was child’s play for someone of her caliber, and now she was only halfway through the day with all of her tasks completed. As she contemplated what she should do for the rest of the day, however, a tap on the back gave her such a fright that she yelped- before a hand clamped over her mouth and another turned her around. Staring her back in the face was Morgan, with the same sly smirk that unnerved her and probably unnerved Earnest too, despite her beauty.

“Shhh. Be quiet. After all, if you cause some trouble for me, our cover might be blown, and I might have to let Earnest know that someone on the team was violating his belongings for their own… personal needs.”

Alesia’s blood ran cold. How did she- she didn’t even hear her? Any elation that she might have had before from her fantasies of Earnest were immediately replaced by a silent panic that her chances with Earnest could be ruined. Morgan must have seen this on her face, however, as she gave a sigh and released her hand from Alesia’s mouth.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, I wouldn’t do such a thing to a sweet girl like you. Actually, I happen to sympathize… and wanted to offer some help. It would be a shame to see such a good girl like you work so hard, and not get a… just reward.”

Morgan grabbed Alesia’s hand and dragged Alesia to her room down the hall, and Alesia couldn't decide if she should feel excited or nervous.
