A slight nervous breakdown and being caught red handed

"I-is something the matter?" I ask, putting on my best fake innocent expression.

"Priestess, what happened?"

Iris asks, now her face shows more concern than shock. She's looking at something above my eyes, and only then I understand what have surprised her. I reach up toward the tape that wraps around Akemi's temple and forehead, slowly rubbing it as if I have an actual injury.

"Oh, this? I-I hit my head when I wake up earlier. It looks worse than it actually is, so I just bandage it up"

"You should have called me earlier, priestess. I will immediately go get some healing balm and-"

"NO!" I shout at Iris, surprising myself but not losing my composure, "I-I mean, I'm already fine, it doesn't hurt that much anymore. I'm sure it'll heal soon. And I didn't want you to worry, that's why I did the taping myself"

Iris was surprised by my loud voice, but she nods and obeys my words. She still looks concerned though. Hmm... Maybe I can use this to my advantage.

"Iris, can you tell me what tasks I have to do this morning again? Like... sweeping the courtyard?"

I just shot in the dark with that example, since that's the thing I saw Akemi was doing yesterday. I have no idea what a priestess of these beastmen supposed to do, after all. Perhaps doing human blood sacrifice ritual? But I can't just suggest that just in case I am completely mistaken about their activities.

"Oh, right... Don't worry, priestess. I'll do it for you. You can just rest after you are done with your food," Iris bows slightly, a reassuring smile appeared on her face.

"...oh, thank you very much, Iris," you replied after a moment.

"You're welcome, priestess. Please enjoy your food"

Iris then turns to leave. Once she's outside with the door closed, I let out a huge sigh of relief from both of my bodies. The whole conversation was really nerve-wrecking. I didn't expect that she would offer to tend the (fake) wound at all, so that made me panicked a little. Thankfully, it seemed Iris did not suspect that anything was wrong. It seems Akemi is quite beloved by Iris, which is why she readily accepted to do Akemi's workload. Asking Iris to do them in Akemi's stead was not my intention, but I welcome the help. I can't be bothered to do such a mundane task if I don't really have to, after all.

I lift my hand, caressing the adhesive tape with my fingers. I can't let anyone finding out about the spell pattern under this bandage. Not now, and hopefully not ever. But if Akemi keeps wearing this on her head for weeks, as this mission might take a long time to be completed, it might raise some concern. I need to find out a solution for this before anyone get suspicious. And speaking of making people suspicious, Iris did not help me at all to list the things Akemi usually does, so I have to find another way to find out about her daily activities.

After I calm down, I shift my attention to the meal that was placed on the floor. It's a simple porridge inside a bowl, with some vegetables and eggs on a plate as a side dish. A cup of water is provided as well. The sight of a warm meal reminds me that I am feeling quite hungry. And not just Akemi's body, but my real body as well. Well, I still need to get used to the mind-link spell, so I can't control both of my bodies simultaneously just yet, so I'll have to settle with eating only Akemi's breakfast for now.

I begin by bringing the bowl and its spoon closer to me, inspecting the contents. Looks like porridge made from some sort of grain. It's not wheat that's for sure, too white and more sticky. I pick up a spoonful, blowing on it first to cool it down. It's still warm and quite thick, with a faint hint of sweet and savory. It looks like they didn't use too much salt, though it's enough to bring out the flavor of the herbs inside of it. I quickly finishes the whole bowl, stopping in the middle to consume a couple of hard boiled eggs, and slowly chewing on the vegetable salad afterwards. I hate to admit, simple as they might be, this is a great breakfast due to the fresh ingredients and spices.

With my meal finished, I rinse my mouth as well as quench my thirst with the water. I sigh in content, apparently Akemi is used to eating delicious foods. As I set the cup back down, I notice that I am still wearing Akemi's night robe. I can't walk around outside with this kind of outfit, so I strip off the robe and drop it down to the floor. I'm about to reach for Akemi's priestess outfit that's hanging on the wall when I suddenly notice something and stop midway. I stare at myself in a full body mirror, propped up on the wall next to the priestess outfit. In the reflection, I see Akemi's body, nude except for the fact that she's still wearing a white panties, and I walk closer to the mirror to get a better look.

Akemi's body is lithe, yet there's a barest hint of musculature around her thighs and legs. She probably does light exercise on the regular, or maybe she's just naturally athletic. Her creamy white skin is smooth without any blemish or spots, her waist is slim with wide hips. Her rather small breasts is perky, topped with a twin pink nubs. Her nipples stands in attention, probably due to me ogling her body just now. I cup her breasts in my palms and gives them a good squeeze, noting the firm yet soft feeling of her boobs on my hands. The size is quite disappointing, though. From what I saw earlier, Iris definitely has bigger breasts. I gently caress the nipples, finding them to be a lot more sensitive than I expected. My breath hitches and my body stiffens as my fingers brushes over them, sending a jolt of electricity coursing through my spine. I breathed out slowly, regaining my composure as my fingers leaves her breast.

I then moves my hand downwards, tracing the lines of her taut abdominals before going lower and lower, eventually reaching the belly just above of my panties. I stop my fingers there, knowing that I would feel Akemi's bush if I go any further down. The fine hairs that make up her pubic hair is visible from this distance, peeking out of her barely-covering-anything small panties. The thin fabric also doesn't hide the outline of my privates, my nether lips visible underneath the tight-fitting underwear which digs into her privates. What kind of priestess wears this kind of underwear?! However, I revel on the fact that I can see this beastwoman's true nature, a slutty vixen pretending to be a holy woman. I grin widely, and Akemi's reflection on the mirror does the same.

I notice the scent of my own arousal coming from my crotch, and it gets me even hornier. After some hesitation, I move my fingers again, this time feeling the soft fuzz of Akemi's pubic hair. I slip my index finger underneath my panties, pulling them slightly downwards to reveal more of my bush. The bush on Akemi's crotch is pink just like her hair and fur, and I can feel its softness with every stroke of my fingers. It is not very thick and I suspect she trims it regularly. I eventually stop playing with them and move my fingers even lower. They slide over Akemi's nether lips from on top of the panties, causing it to grow warmer with the touch. I add a slight pressure as I grind against the fabric, and my pleasure is rising by the seconds. My fingers then find a particularly sensitive spot, a tiny little nub that sends a stronger surge of pleasure with every rub and press. I continue moving my fingers up and down, circling the small button with increasing speed.

I soon felt my entire crotch is getting too hot from all the stimulation, so I pull my hand away from the panties, a large patch of clear fluid staining it. My digits are also wet with the same liquid, and I bring my fingers closer to my nose. The scent is much different than the smell of my own fluids. Akemi's vaginal secretion smells like a sweet odor that invades my nostrils. It is pleasant and salivating, and I want to find out more about this delightful taste. Without hesitation, I lift my fingers to my lips and licked my own juices off it, tasting Akemi's nectar on her tongue.

"This is..."

It tastes much better than I thought. Akemi's fluids tastes like a strange mixture of slight sweetness and tartness. I can feel my lust rises even higher as I am licking my fingers clean. I can't think straight anymore, I need to satiate this burning desire with a release. With my other hand, I peel off my panties and kick it off my foot, letting it fall to the ground. Akemi's tight pussy lips is dripping with her nectar, her inner thighs slick and wet from the fluid. I part the lips to the side, revealing a beautiful pink pussy. I then continue rubbing it, directly without any panties in the way and with two hands this time. One of them focuses on the little button on the top of her pussy, while the other rubs up and down her labia. I am a little too afraid to be inserting anything in there, so I stick to the surface of her puffy lips and slit for now. I keep rubbing and teasing my pussy until I can't hold off my voice anymore, an orgasm building up within me.

However, my self-indulging pleasure must end prematurely. Suddenly, there is a sound of footsteps that stops just outside the room, and the door is being knocked. I immediately shut my mouth, remove my hands from my nether region, and try to calm myself down. It's easier said than done, with the burning fire still raging inside my lower body. I try my best to control my breathing to make it slow and steady, all the while reaching and trying to put on my priestess garb as quickly as possible.

"P-please wait a minute, I'm changing my clothes!"

I shout so towards the door, that should deter anyone outside from entering. Or at least that's what I thought. I have only managed to put on her white top before I hear the door being opened. I can't believe this person, whoever they are! Getting inside even though I specifically told them that I'm changing!? Unbelievable! I turn around to face the door, about to give whoever walks in the scolding of their life. However...

"Huh..? There's no one?" I muttered so with Akemi's mouth.

I stare blankly at the door. It's still closed, and there's nobody inside Akemi's room except myself. Did I imagine the knock on the door? No, that can't be. I also heard sound of the door opening, so it can't be-

"Umm... Victor, I bring you breakfast"

I then hear the disembodied voice of a female. No wait, not disembodied. It's just that she's not in this room... because that's my assistant entering my room back in the inn! My 'real' eyes shot open, momentarily making me dizzy from double vision before I close Akemi's on the other end. Sure enough, Lillias is standing in front of me, carrying a tray of food just like Iris did earlier for Akemi.

Of course, how could I be so clumsy?! I was tuning out of the senses that came from my own body to focus on Akemi's, but it's not like I become deaf. Since I was too busy... messing around with Akemi's body, I manage to confuse myself regarding the source of the noises I heard. Come to think of it, you can't really knock on those paper sliding door in Akemi's room, so of course the source can only come from this room. This is why we royal mages try our best to abstain from sexual desire. They make your mind rot, draining your intelligence and wisdom away with each orgasm!

"A-aah, yes thank you Lillias," I reply with my own body and voice, "I have already activated the mind-possession spell you see, and I was... testing out that vixen priestess's body. I apologize for not replying to your knocks"

"T-that's okay, I'll just put your breakfast here"

Lillias replied so, setting the tray on a table. She seems nervous and embarrassed. Her cheeks are flushed red, and she's trying her hardest to not stare at me. Lillias then excuses herself and hurriedly leaves the room, closing the door after her. I frown, wondering what is wrong with her, until I look down and see a huge tent on my pants, with a small patch of dampness forming on the tip from my precum.

"DAMN IT!" I curse using both mine and Akemi's mouth loudly.
