Theories and plans with Frey.

It was 3:00 am. We were all in the bedroom, but everyone was asleep from exhaustion. On the bed next to mine, Mila, Alice and Noelle had fallen asleep while cuddling together. Meanwhile, Sarah had fallen asleep next to me after our last round, and Grace… was dozing off with my dick in her mouth.

The brunette was licking me mindlessly, eyelids heavy. Then, after a short while, even she fell victim to Morpheus’ spell. Chuckling, I pulled away from her and helped her move so she was more comfortable on the bed.

This was only to be expected, of course. The spirit might be willing, but the body has its limits. After experiencing orgasm after orgasm, the girls were exhausted even with breaks in between. And seeing them all sleeping made me tired, too. Like a sudden bout of relaxation after finishing a long, hard task. I lay on the bed, between Grace and Sarah, and let myself doze off.

The scenario this time was different. It wasn’t my bedroom, but the same hotel room we’d been using. In front of me, sitting at the bar in the living room, was the shadowy figure of Frey. She had a glass of whiskey in her hand and drank from it with calm delight.

“Come on, sit with me,” she offered, gesturing to the stool beside her.

I sat down with her and she poured me a glass of the same honey whiskey I’d been drinking before. “This is just theatrics,” I told her.

“Is it? The mind is more powerful than you think. Your mindscape is my home, so I truly feel like I’m drinking whiskey. If you try hard enough, maybe so will you.”

I gave it a try, taking a sip of ****, yet feeling nothing. “Nope.”

“Guess it’s too hard for a human to think of dreams as anything but illusions.” Frey shrugged and took another sip. “Anyway. You wanted to talk.”

“So you know?”

“Of course I know. I listen to your every thought. Sorry for the privacy breach, but it’s just how it is.”

At this point, I wasn’t surprised and nor did it bother me. “You heard Alice’s theory, then. Can you confirm it?”

“Hmmm. Not exactly. See, I never thought about it like that.” Frey stretched her arms upwards with a soft, content sigh. After what we’d done, she was feeling quite satisfied. “A hidden effect that draws compatible people together… Hmm, now that I think about it, I’ve never heard of a succubus or incubus that has gotten divorced after getting married.” Frey stroked her chin. “Alice’s theory has good legs to stand on. Remember what I told you when this all started? I was giving the girls subtle suggestions to make them comfortable with the idea of sharing you. Dreams, whisperings, that sort of thing. But if they really were against the idea, those suggestions would’ve done nothing. That these five girls are here right now lends credibility to Alice’s theory. On top of that, there’s the fact we were able to read the thoughts of a woman we’ve never seen before.”

“Oh yeah! What was that about? I thought you said you could only read the minds of women whom I had a link with.”

“And of people with unusually high sexual desire. Remember that I once read Thomas’ mind, back when he was so pent up he thought you would steal the woman he was into.”

Ah. Yeah, I think I remember that.

“This receptionist, though… She’s into you. Very, very into you.” Frey stroked her chin again. “Alright, I need more empirical evidence. You have a good feeling about her, right? And your stalker at the coffee shop? Give it a shot with them, and if it turns out you’re compatible, then I can take it as further proof that the theory can be true. It’ll also give us more power, and with more power I can do more things.”

“I still need to hear Noelle’s answer.”

“Ah, right.”

“But… if it does happen to work, what would you like to try next?” I asked Frey.

In her shadowy face, Frey smirked. “I want to hide us.”

“Hide us?”

“I remembered something from when I was young. Younger,” she quickly corrected herself. “There is a style of magic that’s… somewhat frowned upon by most. Runes.”

“Runes?” I’d heard of runes, of course, even if in basic terms. They were letters of old Germanic alphabets. “Why would they be frowned upon?”

“Because, to use an analogy from your world, they’re like bicycle training wheels for magic. You write the correct words with the correct intention, infuse them with magic, and they do most of the work for you. Most proud mages look down on runes because they say it’s the mark of a weak, unskilled magic user. And yes, runes have their weaknesses, especially since they’re not the most flexible system. But I don’t care. I AM a weak magic user, so if I have to use training wheels, I will. I have no shame.”

I chuckled. “I think you’re pretty strong. You were able to scare off that other spirit, remember? And an enchantment that can change people’s perception of my relationship with the girls seems pretty damn impressive to me.”

Frey chuckled with me, but she shook her head. “Compared to the greats, I’m just playing with magic. But don’t worry, I’m not looking down on myself. I just need to be strong enough for us to get what we want.”

I nodded. “And you want to… hide us?”

“Imagine this. You’re in a parking lot, inside a car with two girls. There are people walking by. They notice nothing wrong with the car. It doesn’t move, it doesn’t make a sound, anything. When in reality, you three are fucking like rabbits, screaming and moaning like you’re the only ones in the whole world.” I felt my heart skip a beat. “That’s what I thought. If I can learn how to use runes, I could place a temporary spell in some enclosed area that would cancel all noise and movement. Or more like, YOU could do it. All you’d have to do is write the runes, then I’d fill them with power. It would help us with the problem of direct intervention from me.”

I swallowed. “And… how do you plan to learn about runes?”

“I know the alphabet already, but I don’t know any spells. I’ll have to run simulations here, try stuff out. Oh, but if you could read on runes, too, that would help a lot. I can learn more through you.”

“Sure, if you let me remember this conversation when I wake up.”

“Yeah, of course. I have good reasons for making you forget, alright?”

“And those are…?”

“If Alice’s theory turns out to be true, I’ll tell you, alright?”

“Fine.”

“Well, time for you to wake up. I think a couple of your girls just got up, which means you have work to do.”

I nodded. “See you soon, Frey. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“I’d say the same to you, but you’re enjoying yourself, so go wild.”

With another chuckle, I felt the dream fading away.
