Couples Therapy Part 1: The Proof! ❤

Authors note: Hello, Glad to be back again. I hope you all had a good Easter break! I am back onto my weekly schedule, you will be seeing a chapter every Thursday until my next break in August.
Second Authors note: Some people have expressed displeasure at some of the happenings in this chapter. If you do not like bondage or slightly **** then you should skip over the sex scene. This was always planned as a one-off event and isn't indicative of future content.

“Alright, you’ve had your fun. Now can we skip all this, please?” John groaned.

“Aww, what’s the matter? I thought you were going to protect and defend me because of how weak and fragile I am? Can my big strong dragon powered boyfriend not get out of a simple little alchemical mixture?” Ellie taunted, creeping closer and closer until she stood right in front of him.

“That’s not what I meant, and you didn’t see it from my point of view!” John argued.

John heard the ratcheting sound of the handcuffs and not having all that much time to react, Ellie had managed to transfer some of the ichor from his body onto his wrists and handcuffs. She then tied the rope around and tossed it up into the rafters.

“Well explain it to me then!” Ellie demanded.

John gritted his teeth. “Seriously, Ellie, just get me out of this!”

“You keep opening your mouth but I’m not hearing you talk about things that actually matter,” she sang, pulling on the rope and forcing John’s arms as high as they could go while slowly spritzing the black goo with a little spray bottle. Judging from the smell John could tell it wasn’t water that she was spraying.

Once she was done, John was standing on his tiptoes with his arms high in the air. “If you don’t start talking, I’m going to think of punishments for you. Hmm, I could spank you, or I could leave you bound while I take a look in the book for something fun to use on you, or perhaps I’ll remove your clothing and take some pictures… The clock is ticking, maybe rather than arguing you should get talking.”

John huffed in anger and frustration. “Fine! You keep treating it like any other day and like nothing happened, but when I close my eyes or have a minute alone with my thoughts, I see your limp body thudding against the ground. Looking at your pale lifeless body in my arms is one of the many things that I can’t escape. I couldn’t do anything, I was powerless to save you, and I was powerless to bring you back at that moment; it was so overwhelming that I blacked out.

“And then when I woke up again, you were there, unharmed. All I can think about is not letting that ever happen again. I have to keep you safe because it’s all my fault. It’s my fault you got hurt and it’s my fault you’re even exposed to this side of the world. If it happens again and it’s not in a barrier… If you hadn’t met me that day, you wouldn’t be in danger like you are.”

John’s vision became blurred and he felt his eyes watering. Ellie slapped him across the face before grabbing a short stool and stepping onto it. She wiped John’s eyes and face before kissing him. “Sorry, John. I didn’t know this had affected you this badly, to me it was a momentary chest pain before everything went black and I woke back up waiting for you… I guess it’s easier to just shrug off when you don’t see the bad side of the situation.” She frowned.

After a moment of quiet, Ellie spoke again, “But John, you have to stop blaming yourself. I’ve never blamed you, we went in there underprepared and not even knowing really what was going to happen.

“Also, since you seem to have forgotten: the day we met I’d have ended up being much more than an **** victim. I’ll take being in danger and being with you any day of the week over what that guy was trying to do.”

Ellie sighed before stepping back. “Right, enough of that. We’re here for you and that means I’m going to show you something my therapist taught me. It always helps me clear my head and become more level headed and no arguments! If you still want to argue after this, then you can.”

John held his tongue while Ellie ran through a breathing exercise, having him inhale as she raised her arm and exhale as she lowered it. Although John’s breathing started ragged, the exercise did actually help calm him down, though his head was still a little clouded.

“This is called the four, seven, eight technique. If you want to do it without me around to guide you, just breathe in until the count of four, hold it for seven seconds, then exhale for eight seconds. You can also just google breathing exercise and it has a guided thing on there,” Ellie explained. “Hopefully that helped a little. I just want you to know something, John, I’m never going to regret having you in my life.”

John nodded, and the two of them stayed silent as John processed. Ellie stepped back up onto the stool and wrapped her arms around him.

John contemplated what Ellie had to say. From his perspective, Ellie seemed to just be hand waving things off, like it meant nothing… but her point of view was completely different from his. It seemed neither of them truly grasped the other’s version of things. After a moment of thinking, he realised how overprotective he’d been and how that could possibly put himself and others around him, including the ones he wanted to protect, in more danger.

“Ellie,” he croaked. She took a step back and looked up into his eyes. “I swear I’m going to get stronger, that way I will be able to keep you safe, that way if we are ever in a tight situation again, I won’t be powerless and that way I’ll never go through that experience and neither will you.”

“John! This entire thing was to tell you that you didn’t have to worry about that. I don’t need you to make some stereotypical anime protagonist promise. I can take care of myself. In fact, I might be the one who makes the anime protagonist promise and get stronger to protect you!” Ellie pouted.

John couldn’t help but laugh. “No, you don’t get what I mean. I’m not going to be overprotective, I’m just going to do everything in my power so that there won’t ever be a repeat of what happened in the barrier.”

Ellie began to smile. “Oh, I think I get what you mean now… But I am still going to get stronger and I’ll kick your ass myself to prove it if I have to. Not like I haven’t thoroughly defeated you already, just look at you, hanging there at my mercy.”

John sighed and rolled his eyes, before looking at her smugly. “You do realise I can just put these handcuffs in my inventory, right?”

Ellie’s smile turned wicked. “Oh, I know… but do you realise… there is a reason why I moved the ichor? If you could deal with the ichor with your skills or magic, you would have done so already. If you try to put those handcuffs in your inventory, the ichor is going to bind your hands, and though I’m not sure, I think it’ll only make your restraints tighter.”

John’s grin dropped. “Fine, just get me out.”

Ellie laughed. “Hmm… Nope, not yet. We’ve still got stuff to talk about don’t we?”

“Huh?” John furrowed his brow in confusion.

“Now that I’m aware, it’s obvious there’s a lot bothering you, and I’m not going to let up until we’ve at least talked through it. I know there’s something bothering you with the relationship, and we’ll get to that, but let's start with whatever else is bothering you. And saying ‘nothing’ isn’t good enough. I want you to be able to talk to me.” She stepped forward and placed her hand on John’s chest.

“I… fine.” John sighed. “It’s just… Everything has been overwhelming. I get a girlfriend who’s way out of my league. Before this week I was essentially a recluse that only left the house to go to the arcade and the game store, and then on top of trying to get used to being out of my comfort zone for both of those things, I have magic to wrap my head around. This is every nerd's dream and I’ve been struggling to process it.

“I should be asking questions left and right but, instead, my brain is too busy trying to process the last five things that have happened, and by the time I’m kinda caught up, I have another twenty questions I should be asking. The only time I’m not feeling overwhelmed is when it’s something sexual, but even then it lands me in the shit. Just look at what happened with Prim the first time: I was too busy focusing on what was going to happen with Vanessa that I didn’t even look at the contract I signed; I’d have never done that before!”

Ellie stroked John’s hair. “Isn’t it better to get it off your chest?”

John was taking deep breaths and struggled with his restraints for a second, trying to rub his face out of habit. “I… yeah… but it doesn’t really change that there is a ton to ask and I don’t even really know who to talk to. We could visit Lani, but she doesn’t really know anything about our side of the gate. I could visit Wentworth, but from our last conversation, she didn’t really seem to want to help me all that much. It seems like I might end up having another run-in with Moira again, but Wentworth warned me to keep my distance so that might not be a good idea. The only person left really would be Prim, which to be fair she’s probably the best option. Maybe I shoul-”

“No!” Ellie blurted out. “Listen, John. I know she seems nice and all, but… I’ve got a bad feeling about her. After we left the shop, I... I don’t know how to describe it, something just felt off. I think it might be best to make sure you just get the contracts over and done with.”

John looked down at Ellie slightly confused but nodded. “If that’s what you think is best, then we’ll just keep things professional and not enter any more contracts with her.”

“Good, how about I give you a nice reward for opening up?” Ellie smiled, rubbing her palm against John’s crotch.

A smile formed on John’s face. “Sounds great, how about you uncuff me and we can have some fun?”

Ellie tapped her finger to her chin as if in thought.

“Come o-” John started. Ellie had managed to quickly remove her underwear and stick it into John’s mouth.

“Sorry about that, my panties were a little wet and I needed somewhere to put them. Fortunately for me, your mouth was wide open.” Ellie laughed; her voice dropped slightly and a hunger behind her eyes became apparent. “Now, I guess I’ll go hunting for my prize.”

The taste of cotton and his girlfriend filled his mouth. He groaned and gave Ellie a look that said “really?”. In response she giggled and kneeled down on the stool in front of him.

’If I really tried, I’m sure I could get both the cuffs and the goop off on me, I hadn’t actually gotten the chance to put a lot of **** into it before Ellie showed up,’ he thought to himself.

Her fingers danced around the waist of his trousers and underwear. “So, do you really want me to stop? Or can I have a treat?”

John groaned through the underwear and rolled his eyes. He shrugged and gave a half hearted nod. “Fugh,” came John’s muffled response, in an attempt to say, “fine.”

Ellie licked her lips as she yanked his jeans down to his ankles. She moved forward and slid her fingers under the elastic of his boxer shorts and ran them around the hem. She looked up, giving a mischievous smile before pulling them in one smooth motion down to his jeans.

The little show and contact with Ellie had been enough to get a reaction out of him. His dick wasn’t fully hard but it was slowly growing.

Ellie moved closer, and leaned in until he could feel her breath. Smiling up at him, she extended her tongue, grazing his balls. She worked her way up his shaft licking in a slow zigzag pattern. By the time she’d reached two-thirds of the way up, John was already completely hard.

Just before reaching the head, she retracted her tongue and looked up at John. Mouth open wide and tongue outstretched as if waiting for a facial. Only a second later was the tip of his dick coaxed into her mouth while her tongue swirled around it.

John shuddered at the pleasant sensation and failed to hold a grunt. His frustration had been steadily rising but this was pushing it just a little. Ellie pushed herself a little further then used her tongue to forcefully massage the underside of his dick.

In an attempt to try and regain some semblance of control, John struggled to thrust a tiny bit further in, but as soon as he made a move, one of Ellie’s hands firmly held onto his hip, while the other hand moved towards his balls, taking them into her palm before gently caressing them.

She pulled his cock out of her mouth and looked up. “Don’t be naughty, or I might have to consider if I should edge you or ruin your orgasm completely.”

She leaned in and gave his dick another lick from balls to tip, though this time it was much too quickly to be enjoyed. “After your little stunt, I’m thinking that you are less deserving of a reward and that this will definitely be a treat for me. Don’t worry, you are still going to enjoy it, but now instead of just giving you a regular blowjob, I’m just going to do what makes me happy. Oh! Actually, I have an idea!”

She jumped up and ran over to her table. John couldn’t see what she was doing but suddenly several floating books resembling her Observe appeared before she seemed to find what she was looking for.

She returned with something hidden in her palm. With a quick motion, a popping sound rang out, then the underwear gag in John’s mouth was removed and replaced by a round bottle causing John to splutter and accidentally swallow its contents. Then as he opened his mouth to complain, she’d stuffed her underwear back in his mouth.

“There, now this should be fun. Oh, and don’t worry, my cute little guinea pig, I don’t seem to be the only perverted alchemist and this particular potion was documented quite well. Not to mention that my new gift confirmed it works perfectly without any drawbacks.” Ellie cooed as she began pulling off the remaining clothing she had on, tossing them onto the desk behind John then kneeling back on the stool. “It might take a minute or so to take effect though, but luckily I don’t plan on making you cum that soon, I want to savour this.”

Her hands returned to their previous positions, and though John felt a lot of frustration, he couldn’t help but enjoy it when Ellie continued her ministrations. John managed to suppress the grunts and moans as Ellie continued her treatment of torturous pleasure.

Though the **** didn’t seem purposeful. Ellie enjoyed sucking, licking and kissing up and down his shaft, even giving his balls some oral attention from time to time, but all of that was secondary to the attention she was giving the head of his dick. The potion Ellie had given him must have had something to do with it as an endless supply of precum leaked from him only for Ellie to happily devour it, moaning around his dick as she did.

As she reluctantly pulled away from John’s dick, she let out a disappointed whimper, looking up. “Best potion ever!” She smiled and winked. “But I think I’ve had enough fun, time to get my real treat.”

John let out a long low groan as Ellie’s lips sealed around the tip of his dick. Her tongue went to work swirling and licking all over his glans, while one of her hands fondled and manipulated his balls and the other which had previously been used to stay in control of his hips was now travelling up and down his dick.

This added stimulation was enough to send him over the edge and the two echoed each other’s moans. Wave after wave of pleasure hit John as he came, and despite how much it felt like he’d cum, Ellie managed to keep gulping it down. She’d swallowed maybe three mouthfuls before he’d finished cumming and John was left feeling like his energy had been sapped from him.

Ellie moved back so that she could sit on her haunches and took deep heavy breaths through her nose as a small pool of John’s cum sat in her open mouth. Once her breathing had steadied, she closed her mouth, swishing the remaining cum around before loudly swallowing.

“Fuck, that was delicious. We’re definitely using that again in the future. Next time maybe I’ll take the potion and you can eat my pussy,” Ellie heaved.

With one final loud huffing breath, she stood back up. Stepping onto the stool, she kissed John’s cheek. “Right, well, I think we can safely say we can cross off those worries from the list, I hope. How about next we talk about your concerns with our relationship? But I think that we should move into my bedroom first. Don’t you?”
