Harmony

Imp matters will have to wait. You have a Cockatoo to train and a sex friend to grill about what the hell she is even doing in the situation she is getting involved with.

Once the light of day starts to fade you head for the abandoned Alchemy Studies building, but this time you do so wearing your own borrowed Invisibility Cloak. Your plan is to wait for Harmony to show up and maybe give her a little surprise ambush the way she did you the previous day. Unfortunately that plan is ended the second you see her standing by the entrance, surrounded by a blue halo as she holds her own Invisibility Cloak over her. So someone wearing one of these can see someone else wearing one? you mentally project.

Yes, Harmony replies in your head, Why do you sound disappointed about that?

No reason. Good to know though.

What is also good to know is that Harmony has once again come in the state she was the last time she came to meet you here. That is to say, she is completely naked with only the cloak hiding her nudity from the world. You smirk at her and think, Getting a taste for streaking, are we?

Harmony purses her lips and does not answer you, turning around to enter the building and giving you a nice eyeful of her swaying buttocks. As you fall into step behind her, you hear a stray thought from your soon-to-be sex partner that you are unsure is a grumble at you or something she is maybe considering to herself. What if I am?

The smirk already on your lips grows wider at that thought but you decide not to further tease her about it at the moment as she leads you into the first unoccupied room she can find (which takes longer than you would think). Once there, you both remove your cloaks and Harmony looking at you with a nervous expression. It is probably not because of her nudity, as she seems to have gotten used to being unclothed in your presence enough to not squirm or make any moves to cover herself up, but you suspect you know the actual cause. "So," you say as you sit down on a damaged but still functional chair while making no move to further disrobe yourself yet, "I spoke with Amelia earlier today. Sounds like the two of you made... plans."

Harmony twitches and bites her lower lip. "Yes," she replies, "We plan to have a duel to work out our... differences. I take it she told you that you are required to witness it?"

You nod, your expression growing a touch more serious as you remark. "I have to say, when I agreed to help you practice an apology, I didn't expect it to turn into an invitation to watch the two of you try to see who can fuck the other's brains out first."

Harmony growls and glares at you but there is no real energy behind either action even as she petulantly mutters, "That's... an intense oversimplification. Tantric duels do involve sexcraft but the point is not the pleasure. Like any duel it is about proving who is the superior."

"By fucking the other person's brains out before they fuck yours out?"

She closes her eyes, squirming again as she grunts out between her teeth, "Yes."

You smile. "Look at it this way, being honest about the goal of the match will help you better prepare for it."

Harmony gives you a suddenly befuddled look. "You say that like you WANT me to win."

"Like I said, it's about honesty. Both about the kind of match you're going to have me watch... and why the hell you would even agree to it in the first place. I would have thought you'd insist you just find a way to stay out of each others hair. Especially since you keep talking about how you have to keep our... relationship quiet for the sake of saving face."

"As you pointed out before," Harmony replies, pulling over a still working desk chair to sit across from you (and keeping her legs spread so you can still get a good view of all of her), "she already knew of our 'relationship', as you put it, and when we were talking before she pointed out the possibility of you wanting both of us at once. Which I'm certain you do."

"I... can't say I WOULDN'T enjoy that," you agree with a nod, "but, and I made this clear to Amelia too, not if YOU weren't okay with it. And I don't get how you could be. So why would you agree to something that could end up that way?"

Harmony bites her lower lip for a few moments as she genuinely seems to be mulling that question over, as if she had not really fully stopped to think of that before. "Unlikely," she says, "Just because she has more experience with... intercourse... doesn't mean I can't learn and be ready for her. I'll give her a little punishment and that will be the end of it. I can NOT lose to someone like her."

"Like how you couldn't lose against me and now here we are, Cockatoo?"

She winces, and you do feel a little bad about the cheap shot at her pride but at the same time you DO need to make your point. It also has gotten her to think about it more before she says, "So much has changed so quickly. Last semester I would have felt sick at the very thought of doing ANYTHING like what we've already done and yet now here I am running around naked and aroused for... more of what's been done. I suppose, on some level, I'm starting to wonder how much more I'm... capable of."

Your eyebrow raises so high there is a good chance it could break through the ceiling to the floor above, causing Harmony to flush as she hastily adds, "B-But I will NOT sacrifice who I am for that curiosity! If I am going to experiment with anyone else, it is going to be on MY terms! And MY way! I continue to obey you when we are together because that I was willing to AGREE to it. And if I ever wanted to have intercourse involving another woman in ANY capacity, *I* will be the one on top!"

Taking a moment to catch her breath after her outburst, her expression grows more withdrawn. "And if somehow, someway, the impossible happens again... I... I did agree to these consequences too. And I have enjoyed my times with you. Maybe... she will surprise me as well."

And then she is back to her determined look. "Not that it will happen!"

You laugh. "And who knows, you might... enjoy bringing more girls to heel in front of me too."

She gives you a surprisingly nasty grin. "Are you saying you'd enjoy that?"

"Only if everyone else involved would too."

She sighs and shakes her head. "The kind of answer I'd expect from you. Though speaking of things to expect from you..."

Humming in mock thoughtfulness, you stroke your chin as you reply, "Well, like I said earlier, I helped you on the condition that you try to make peace and instead you decided to go to war. That was very... naughty."

Harmony squirms but licks her lips. "I... suppose it was."

You give Harmony a surprisingly nasty grin of your own as you ask the question that will decide your course of action for tonight.
