Try to get the aphrodisiac off.

Alea stumbled off the bed and tore the curtains free. Not caring about the masses of people wandering Hardrock below her, Alea frantically dabbed at her face and skin with the curtains. A few townsfolk pointed up at the naked alpha leaning over the balcony, but Alea ignored them.

Kass had smeared trails of sticky body fluids all over her stomach and legs. Finding the nearest bowl, Alea spit the crushed pills she’d been collecting in her mouth into the bowl and tried to dab herself down with a nearby towel.

After having wiped away most of Kass’s fluids, Alea sat down, crossing her legs and closing her eyes.

She stilled her breathing and imagined the cold rush of the waterfall that she often meditated under back home. The cool quenching water as it pounded against her skin and refined her resolve until she eventually reached the first layer of Resolve Condensation.

Alea went back to that place, taking slow and steady breaths as she shunted all submissive thoughts to the far corners of her mind. That wasn’t her speaking, that was the aphrodisiac.

She needed to think alpha thoughts, then she could use these pills of resolve and fuck her way to the third layer. She just needed to hold on until her body could work this aphrodisiac out of her.

“You asked what another pill would cost you?” Kass said, strolling over to Alea’s meditating form. “This is my price.”

Alea cracked one eye open and instantly regretted it. Kass loomed above her, oozing dominance as she held her cock inches from Alea’s face.

“I’d wager you swallowed about two and a half of those Pills of Resolve. Each one of those is worth a three hundred gold a piece, you know.” Kass chuckled. “Though I get them from my clan. We make them ourselves, so we only have to pay the price of ingredients. That brings the price down, but still more than a girl like you could ever afford.”

Alea felt Kass’s cock touch the skin of her cheek. The scent of the other futa wafting under her nose.

“As you’ve no doubt noticed, I come from a very wealthy clan. Unfortunately, I don’t have as much talent for gathering Resolve as my sisters.” Kass admitted. “I’ve taken hundreds of those things, and have been completely unable to amass any more Resolve. Now, I could always try a different pill, but using something my family doesn’t make would be a lot more expensive.”

Kass nudged Alea with her foot. “But you’re different, aren’t you? You cultivated to the first layer of Resolve Condensation with no pills at all, cultivating some half-assed technique. You’re a natural talent.” Kass combed through Alea’s hair with her fingers. “I never expected to find somebody like you just wandering the streets without a clan, sect or school. With you as my cultivation vessel, I could make much better use of my family’s pills.

“These pills don’t just work for alphas. You can also feed them to betas. It boosts their resolve while getting fucked in the same way it boosts the resolve of an alpha while fucking. I could give you a pill every day and you could use them to build up resolve for me as I fucked you.” Kass grabbed Alea’s hair, pulling her closer and forcing Alea towards her cock. “Then whenever I needed more resolve, I’d take it from you, my cultivation vessel. I could make it all the way to foundation establishment using you as a living Resolve collector!”

Kass gave Alea a pat on the cheek. For her part, Alea scrunched her eyes shut, pushing her mind as far away from her current situation.

“Those pills you swallowed? They were all laced with my saliva and the aphrodisiac I’m using on you. You’re strong-willed indeed to be able to resist them the way you’re doing. Perhaps that’s your secret to collecting so much Resolve.”

Kass’s hand reached under Alea’s chin.

“It won’t be all bad for you, Alea.” Kass whispered. “As my loyal pet, I’d elevate you to the Foundation Establishment realm right after me. You’d never have such opportunities without the resources of my clan, despite your exceptional talent. You’d be a cultivation vessel, but you’d be far more powerful than you’d ever be as an alpha on your own.”

Alea groaned, concentration breaking under the touch of the other futa's skin.

“What do you say, Alea?” Kass insisted. “Kneel and kiss my cock. Then we can become strong together.”
