Johan reveals himself

It would have been easy to simply allow Lilly to keep her in the dark about my presence. It would alleviate most of the risk of this coming back to bite me. However, in that moment of hesitation where Lilly was deciding whether or not to reveal who I was, I decided instead to step in. It was beyond fantastic seeing Charity succumbing to her desires, but if this went on, I risked making her see Lilly as the one who controlled her, and while that would be fine so long as I controlled Lilly, the fact was that I wanted them loyal to me and me alone.

With that in mind, I stepped around Charity and into the dim light in the middle of the cabin. Charity's brow furrowed in confusion, and I exerted slightly more of my will and pheromones while using the slightest hint of magic to make Lilly visibly submit to me while sending tingles of arousal through them both so as to help implant their desire to be mine.

"Who... Who are you?" Charity asked.

"My name is Johan," I replied, keeping my face straight and my voice somber. "Lilly came to me with her worries about you and asked me to help you return to the light of the Goddess. She cares about you very much."

"I - she -" Charity stuttered before I interrupted her.

"Don't worry, she hasn't revealed any secrets of your order. I spent my life traveling before settling down here to work as a blacksmith, and recognised what was happening when Lilly came to me with a similar problem."

"Johan helped me gain control over my urges," Lilly implored. "I want him to help you too."

Charity looked between the two of us, a look of **** confusion on her face that relaxed slightly as I exerted my will just a little bit more.
