Cassie’s concern

You begin to feel the results of your exertion as soon as you have the armor off. As you’re walking out of the forge, you suddenly feel very weak, stumbling slightly. Cassie, who is walking beside you, looks at you with concern, but you recover quickly, thou you definitely will need time to recover.

I told you you went too far. You’re lucky you didn’t get hurt.

You’re not sure, but you think there’s a touch of concern in Lilith’s words. She seems to notice your reaction, and immediately changes tone.

Not that it matters! I could always get someone else, someone I could control!

You chuckle to yourself, as Cassie and you walk to your cabin. Once inside, the chameleon girl leads you to the bedroom, and nods at you.

“Ok, undress and lie on your stomach, Nicholas.”

You smile at her. “Already getting my clothes off? Aren’t you eager.”

Cassie giggles. “Well, yes, but not like that. Yet.”

You laugh, and undress. Despite her words, she definitely checks you out as you do, not that it’s anything she hasn’t seen. Regardless, it’s nice to be appreciated, as you do as she says and lie down. You hear the rustle of cloth, and then feel Cassie climb onto the bed. As she straddles your waist, you feel the smooth skin of her thighs. She undressed as well, clearly.

You feel her hands on your shoulders, gently kneading the sore muscles, and you groan softly. There’s a slight tingling in her touch that tells you she’s using her healing powers as well. As she massages you, she speaks, quietly and in a surprisingly serious tone.

“Nicholas, sometimes you risk too much. I know you’re doing important things, but…some day your luck will run out.”

Cassie continues her massage, and you listen to the concern in her voice, something you’ve never heard from her before. “We all worry about you, my mate. You push yourself too hard, and it’s scary. Like today. There was no need to push your limits like this. I can feel you trembling under my hands, Nicholas. That’s bad.”

You sigh. “I have to do it. I have to push myself, or we don’t have a chance. I try to be careful, but sometimes I have to take risks.”

Cassie pauses for a moment. “I know I’m the youngest one of your girls, except Ferra, and she doesn’t count. And I know I’m silly and a little weird. But I’m not stupid. Do you know how horrible it was when you were taken? I’ve never felt so bad. And Ferra was almost comatose.”

She sighs, her hands working lower, along your spine. “If we ever lost you for real…”

You twist beneath her so you can look up at her. Sure enough, she is naked as well, though mostly you notice her colors, shades of dark blue. This is clearly something that has weighed on her mind.

You meet her eyes, and see the worry there. “It was always a risk. But you’re right, I do take too many chances.”

Cassie nods. “I’m not saying that you need to stop, just…remember that we all love you. We want you safe.”

Gently, she touches your cheek. “We all want to help get you through this safe. You’re the most important person in all of our lives. Please remember that, Nicholas.”

A slight glimmer of her usual mischief shines in her eyes. “And remember that some of us have big plans for you in the future!”

You raise an eyebrow. “Oh? Do I get a hint?”

Cassie giggles, gently touching her stomach, before shaking her head. “Nope! Now lay back down, mister, the doctor isn’t finished with you yet!”

You chuckle and lay back on your stomach. You can hear Lilith murmur in your mind as you do so, albeit faintly.

They’re not the only ones who think like that…

It’s so faint that you’re not entirely sure if you actually heard it. Especially when there’s a follow up.

Tell the ‘doctor’ to hurry up and get to the sexual healing! She’s supposed to be the goofy one!

Now that she’s spoken her mind, Cassie is far less professional about her massage. As if to emphasize that, she giggles and lies down on your back, and you feel her small breasts pressed against you. After resting like that for a while, she whispers in your ear.
