To help out with Yelena...

4th Venardae, the 29th day of the month of Semens (Sem), the 3672nd year of Salvation's Landing

Waking up naked and… sticky, Reglin felt a wonderful sense of exhaustion from the previous night’s activities. Though that fatigue was nothing like how he used to feel after a hard day’s work before. He still felt like he could do anything asked of him. But there was just a pleasant ache. Stretching his muscles very subtly, as he had both of his lovers laying on him, the young guard thought about all the things he and Asha had made his submissive lover do in this bed.

“What is making that smile, love?” Tabitha’s voice startled him, though he remained still somehow. Rolling his head to the left to look at the honey-blonde beauty, Reglin’s pleased smile only grew. “From the looks of it, I am sure it has something to do with last night.” She said with her own devilish grin.

“Oh, just thinking about all the lewd and lascivious acts we **** upon you last night.” His arm wrapped up his tanned and fit lover and pulled her tighter against him. He gave her a soft peck on her forehead, as that was the only thing available her head pressed against his chest.

A small snort of amusement came from Tabitha, “****… Hah. I needed that. However, you know that if I did not feel it, I would not be so… pliant.” That last word she managed to make sound incredibly sexy and Reglin felt a stirring below.

His voice was low and smooth, “Pliant? Is that what you call folding yourself in half so that you could see my seed leak from your ravaged asshole?” He chuckled and the memory had stiffened almost fully. The memory of Tabitha’s legs thrown over her own head so that she looked like she was indeed folded in half. Those exercises she does during the day really did make her incredibly flexible. They allowed for her to look into her own reddened and abused hole as his pearly cum dripped slowly out from inside her until she actually stretched her neck and lapped it up off of her puffy outer lips. The sounds she made while doing so told him that she loved every second of it. “That reminds me. I want to ask you something…”

Angling her head and raising an inquisitive brow, she spoke in her own quiet, but seductive voice, “Oh? You know you can ask anything of me…” Her hand had made its way to his near fully engorged member and had taken hold of it, sliding it up and down the length of the shaft.

A deep moan came from low in his throat, “Yes, I know… I was wondering. You and Asha say that you love the taste of my cum, but did that hold true even when it came from your own slutty asshole?”

Sliding up on his chest so that she could whisper in his ear, Tabitha’s voice was laden with sensuality, “It was just as delicious from Asha’s ruined ring as from the source. And it holds true from when I slurped it up from my own cunt…” She grinned and looked at his face before leaning in and whispering more, “You were so adorable last night. So dominant and demanding. But you have to learn precision when dominating… You told me to clean myself up but did not say how. So I thought to do so in the most debased way I could think of.” Tabitha giggled like a little girl then, “You should have seen the look on you and Asha’s faces when I flipped my ass over my face and let your spunk run down from my battered asshole. I was grinning from ear to ear on the inside…” Letting go of his cock, she gave him a very light tap on his chest, “Come on… We should let Asha sleep. But we can take care of your swelling and get cleaned up for the day.”

Moving with a grace that left the bed undisturbed, Tabitha got out of the bed and padded silently toward the bath chamber. Reglin maneuvered himself carefully to not disturb his other exhausted lover and got out of the bed and followed the Magistricia into the bath area. When he caught up to her in the by the bath, she was already bent over pouring some fragrances into the giant tub. Playfully, he slid his erect dick between her legs, running it the length of her outer lips. Not surprising from their early morning conversation, he slid easily with the aid of her juices that were already flowing. She gave a mewling sound, but Reglin went on matter-of-factly. “So, I have a channel that replenishes my energy with significantly less sleep. But it also changed me quite dramatically physically. How is that you are able to function with so little sleep as well?”

Pushing her hips back slowly, Tabitha used Reglin’s lengthy shaft to rub her clit. Yet, she answered him just as practically, “You are a conduit of mana. You used the artifact to harness some of the mana directed at you to invigorate your physicality. However, I use mana so often with a quite sizable capacity for it, that it does something similar to me. Just far less efficiently. I believe I have some enhanced capabilities, but nothing to the extent of your gifts.” She gave an open-mouthed ‘ahh’ as her tempo picked up a touch.

Running his hands all over her back and butt, Reglin was enjoying just feeling Tabitha’s skin but could not keep himself from bucking his hips in conjunction with his blonde lover’s pelvic movement. “I feel guilty that I could make it so that Asha could perform more efficiently… I think. But if I can, I look at the metamorphosis that I want through and I am extremely hesitant to do so. I love the way she looks. You two are very dissimilar, yet I can honestly say that I wouldn’t change either of you… But if either of you wanted to change in such a way, how supportive would that be of me to deny you that desire?”

“Mmmm… Well, first and foremost, it is your mana to do with as you choose. You have no obligation to give any of us anything… oooh…” The sliding increased in tempo more still. “But I do find it so fulfilling to know that you look at each and every woman you know and appreciate all the variations in all our bodies. It’s a weight off a girl’s mind…”

And that was the end of Reglin playing it cool and distanced. He lined himself up and slid inside Tabitha’s wet, hot, velvety pussy, pushing almost to the hilt immediately. That froze up the woman he had loved for so long now. Bending her forward with his own chest pushing her downward, the big man reached down and wrapped up her muscular legs behind her knees and lifted her effortlessly while keeping her impaled thoroughly on his full girth.

Leaning back into the big man, Tabitha arched her back so that she could reach back and wrap her arms around Reglin’s neck while he moved her up and down the length of him in a much less violent manner than the night before. Reglin imagined that what he did right now would have had to be done in very small and very vigorous stints with his previous physique, if at all. But now he was able to do this in a loving way, bending his head down to kiss his lover’s neck from behind, giving it the occasion love bite. And Tabitha approved of it all immensely.

In a manner of minutes both of them had achieve climax. Reglin noticed that his control over his orgasm was becoming even more prevalent. If he wanted to cum he was able to let the feelings wash over him and he could almost do so at will. But if he was more interested in pleasing his partner, he was able to focus in on them and go for extremely long durations. However, with his capacity to keep going after shooting his seed, he had come to appreciate the middle ground, giving them their pleasure as well as letting them know just how much pleasure they gave him.

With their abbreviated lovemaking ended, Reglin carried his Tabitha to the basin and lowered her in, sighs of relaxation coming with her descent into the steaming water. Joining her, Reglin and Tabitha made small talk while allowing the other to wash them. It was incredibly satisfying to him, a great sense of intimacy from it all. In the talk, Reglin brought up that if Yelena were to come to bed with them that he was wanted Tabitha to take the lead, given her focal role of the Princess’s desire.

“I want it to be as much about her as we can make it. If that means that Asha and I aren’t even around, so be it. But I’m sure that she knows that most of the time that there will us as a whole.” He spoke softly as he used his thumbs on Tabitha’s lower back, massaging it.

Giving a low appreciative moan, Tabitha nodded slightly, “I can see that… However, I think I would advise her against that just for the sake of future expectations. Plus, I think she is more than a bit curious about that tool of yours.” She gave a ‘hmmm’ at that. “I wonder if she’s thinking of taking you in that cute rump of hers, or maybe she does not hold the concept of chastity in such high regard… I know I find the concept utterly illogical. If she is the free thinker that I think, I would be willing to bet that she’s had more than a few sessions thinking about that rod of yours despoiling that pristine little cunt of hers…”

Giving a chuckle, Reglin didn’t indulge Tabitha’s enjoyment of being as colorful in her words as possible to embarrass others. “I would be a liar if I said that I hadn’t thought about pushing myself between those thighs of hers…” He left at that and kissed Tabitha with loving intent on his lips, “Either way, I know you will be the most magnificent of guides into her sexuality.”

Smiling at Reglin’s vote of confidence in her, Tabitha kissed him back, this time a bit more need in her lips. She wanted to make sure that he knew just what he did to her, something that she was quickly coming to recognize as something she’d never experienced.

Her previous love affair was one that was borne from years of interaction and almost settling into it. It mirrored her and Reglin’s relationship, though in reversed roles. But, unlike her past, this one was moving at astronomical speeds. Sure, it there was outside influence at work, and Tabitha knew it. Yet, it felt ‘real’ to her. Perhaps it was the potency of the magic. Perhaps there was fate coming into play. The latter was a bit hard for her to wrap her head around. She had spent decades studying stories of just such things and always found them so very interesting. However, while studying them, they always felt ‘alien’ to her. Like they belonged to another time and that her time was incompatible with such impractical happenings. And she was able to perform some incredibly powerful magicks to put all that into perspective. But all these were thoughts that she had worn over in her mind endlessly, or so it felt to her.

Getting out of the basin first, Reglin followed her closely. It was a small thing, but when you are a woman such as Tabitha, you are used to being and feeling like one of the most powerful people anywhere you go. Yet, when she was with this remarkable young man she felt as a left on a river, pulled along with little say in where it went. So, she found these small things that pulled just a bit of control back to her, feeble as it was, she knew.

Her lover retrieved a towel for her, opting to remain nude while he began to dry her off. Not that she minded. Call her superficial, but that artifact was really making some marked changes on the boy. Those shoulders were substantially wider, his chest was fuller, arms and legs were thicker. And the muscle tone… She resented him a bit for that. The old woman worked herself into a lather daily to achieve the physique she had wanted. And all he had to do was make people like him, love him, or want him, harnessing their emotional mana and manifesting it into his body. It was incredible really. The power of that artifact was astounding.

All these thoughts came in rapid succession while she enjoyed his hands moving the towel over her back and down her backside, to her legs. She spread them enough for him to continue his self-appointed task. Surprisingly, he was very minimalistic in her drying of her already swollen labia, as well as her well-used asshole. She wasn’t sure how she felt about that. A part of her always seemed to want him to use her bodily. But when he was gentle and teasing it made her look so much more to their future endeavors. It was quite a lovely dilemma all things considered.

Once he finished, Tabitha returned the favor. Keeping the touching in the same vein as his, she gave just very subtle teasing and promises for more to come in her hands. She reveled in going over the musculature of his back. He was growing into quite a formidable vision. And she thought he wasn’t done yet. If he wanted, there was at least another grade in ‘vigorous body’ to achieve. And that returned her thoughts to the Affection Artifact.

“Lover… Once dressed, we should have a small bit of time. Could we peruse that scroll of yours and see what the next prudent play might be?” She spoke in her low, lush tones that she knew enticed him so. It was amazing the switch he had pulled inside her. She never really was that much of a sensual being. But, here she was, dangling sex or the promise of it in almost every sentence to her young lover.

Nodding slowly, as though it was a second thought unsurprisingly, “We could do that, yes… I’ve been so wrapped up in you ladies as of late, I wonder if I am being neglectful of other duties?”

The two of them dressed and brushed their teeth with soda, the mineral helping to clean the teeth. Once all was taken care of, they sat at a small table. Reglin opened the scroll case and withdrew the artifact. Tabitha slid her chair right next to his so that she could read what he pointed out, as they had done in the past. The scroll still did not show anything to her on its own. The Governor was necessary.

As Asha still slept, Tabitha and Reglin went over the normal bits, with Reglin remarking on the amount of mana streams tethered to him, “I have more than enough to open new channels. However, we wondered if they could be used for others.” He read on, Tabitha following along. With the recency of interaction, they came to Yelena’s entry.

It was strange to see someone’s emotional status in script on vellum. But it confirmed what she thought, “Seems that our little Princess is well on her way to being utterly smitten with you, Goldy. You’ve already got her nectars flowing in earnest by the looks of her libidae.” She spoke with a smile in her tone and it reflected on Reglin’s lips.

In a hurry, Reglin moved his fingers and went back to the channels section. His cheeks were rosy with some small embarrassment. That was good, she thought. He was already getting too confident for some bits of fun to work, but apparently talking about a Princess’s randiness for him still got to him. However, in that hurry he gave a start, his head rolling back in reaction, “Whoa… What is this? I know that there are so many entries in here, but I think I would remember this one…”

Looking at his fingers, Tabitha read the words ‘Fluxii Magickae’. ‘The Flow of Magick’ it translated roughly. She read on. In a matter of moments, her mouth was agape in astonishment. What was this? “Is this for real?” the wonder in her voice could not be contained.

Shaking his head, the poor boy’s face was screwed up to bely his bemusement, “I’ve never seen something that was a fake in this thing. I wonder if this thing is static, or if it is able to adapt?” He paused and read on more, “Well, that answers our question about being able to tie channels to someone else. It says that I cannot even use this.”

That caused Tabitha’s brows to climb up almost to her hairline, “That is interesting. Though I think if you could use it, it would prove even more so…” That would have been quite a feat indeed. If he was able to activate this channel on himself, he would be the first male arcanist… ever. “Can you use it on anyone else?”

Taking her guidance, Reglin maneuvered through the scroll’s script to the list of companions and colleagues. It took a bit of investigating, but he finally spoke, “I don’t think so. If it was tied to just someone’s feelings for me, I would be able to make Asha a Magick-user. But that’s not the case. The only person on my list currently that can ‘flower’ into the use of magick is Yelena.”

Smiling and nodding in understanding, Tabitha ahhh’ed, “I should not be surprised really. She’s always been sensitive to mana and picked up aura reading, albeit a bit rudimentary as it is. I think she grew frustrated with that being it for her that she stopped practicing and leaned more into her caring for her creatures.”

“So if I understand this right, I can basically sponsor her into becoming a magicker?” Reglin’s voice held more than a fair share of incredulity in it, “… Remarkable…”

That was perhaps the largest of understatements in Tabitha’s mind, “That does not even begin to describe this. You do not realize just what a gift you can give her. I did not see what it would cost you, but I suggest you think on this one strongly. Not only is girl well on her way to loving you as Asha and I do, but if you were to give her this?” She paused and shook her in bewilderment, “Knowing the girl, I have a hard time thinking that even I would surpass her in loyalty. It could be worthwhile in a myriad of ways.”

Reglin contemplated on her words for a while, “Well, I cannot give her that gift just yet. Though, at the pace I have been gaining, I may be able to make this evening perhaps the most monumental of her life… As you said, in a myriad of ways.”

The smile that grew on his face was one of sheer delight. Tabitha could tell he was reveling in the thought of giving Yelena all the physical pleasure they could offer in a night. But Tabitha knew, in the grand scheme of things, that pleasure was but a fraction of what he could then give her. A monumental night, indeed, she thought.

With those notions preoccupying him, Reglin stood up and then leaned over to give Tabitha another loving kiss. “I have got to get going, love…” He looked over at Asha and his face grew concerned, “I think we might have worn her out again. Can you do anything for the poor girl?”

Grinning widely at the boy’s genuine care for others, Tabitha gave a nod, “I can… I won’t spell her though. That would wipe her out for this evening. And I think she should at least be there for it. I have some tinctures that might prove effective. Perhaps I will run to the kitchens real fast and break her fast with a bit of a stimulus…” She knew the herbs that could the trick well enough for what she needed. She really was wondering if she should make the request to bring Asha on as an assistant. The girl was headstrong and wily. Her assets could prove more than a little useful. It didn’t hurt that she was growing more and more attracted to the girl. Now THAT had to be the scroll’s work.

With another kiss of gratitude, Reglin went over to the bad and brushed Asha’s hair away lightly before leaning over and kissing her gently. He then made way to the secret roof access and head out of the chambers. It was always a bit sad to see him leave in the mornings, but she knew that he and her were bound, and that consoled her ache. She looked over to Asha once more and decided what was needed. With that Tabitha rose, made sure she was presentable, and made her way out to the kitchens.
