In search of?

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

Delighting in the sounds of his lovers’ amorous activities, Reglin strode off to where he knew that Tabitha kept her scented oils. He couldn’t decide which of the reasons was most important for his trip to the bathchambers. Was it for the lube to help out Asha’s relatively inexperienced asshole? Or, to pull the mystery spectator? It flip-flopped in his mind with each step.

Hearing a ‘Oh Gods!’ from Asha, a wry smile formed on his lips. As he got closer to the passage to the baths, Reglin really tried to listen in to what might be movement inside. And sure enough, he heard some light shuffling of slippers he thought. Picking up a walking lamp from the wall, he stepped inside.

Deciding to play it up a bit, Reglin talked to himself, “Let’s see… where’s that oil at?” He was well aware that he was walking into a room with a woman in it with his erect penis waving about. “Thinking Asha’s ass will appreciate it before I put my cock in it…” He felt his cheeks heat in embarrassment knowing that he was fully intending to make Yelena, or whoever, uncomfortable.

The closet that held the linens, soaps, and oils was really the only wall area in the room for someone to hide, so that was an unfortunate turn of events for whoever it was. Lifting his lamp and making his way to the closet, Reglin could see the silhouette of someone trying to press themselves against the wall. It was a petite woman, leading him to believe it was who he initially thought, though her head was turned away. Perhaps she was hoping to not cast a reflection with her eyes? Either way, she was busted…

“Ahem… Hello…” He said in a low voice. Reglin’s eyes looked at the brown/blonde hair of the princess. She must’ve been hoping that he was talking to a bottle of oil or something because she did not move. Snickering silently, he pressed on, “Excuse me… I think you might have entered a wrong door somewhere, Princess…”

The braided hair whipped out when Yelena turned to look at Reglin with a shocked expression, “R-Reglin?! Umm… Reglin… I-I forgot something…” Her eyes were wide and wild with the situation. “Ummm… My comb… I took it out when we… were dancing”

Reglin looked at her with a dubious expression. Her words were probably true if he knew her. But her motive was not to retrieve the trinket alone. “Yelena… We closed up the library. I turned out the lights and then locked the door… This tells me that you came in sometime while Asha and I were caring for the lamps. Which means that you could have just asked us for your comb…” He raised a brow inquisitively at her.

The dainty little thing’s chest was showing how stressed she was with its rise and fall. She swallowed, but that was about all that he was going to get from her. It was like she was petrified by the encounter. And there was that familiar scent that he had come to appreciate over the last week.

“But you wanted to confirm some suspicions, I bet… And you did. To you evident delight…” The tall guard gave a smile that was meant to be teasing, but with the lone lamp in the room, he wasn’t sure how it would come across.

He didn’t think it was possible for her eyes to widen further but she somehow managed, “I-I… My delight? I have no idea what that is supposed to mean, Master Reglin…” Reglin some her eyes dart downward, and instantly same right back to meet his eyes.

Maintaining the same smile, the imposingly tall man leaned into the much smaller princess, “Princess… I can… smell… your arousal…” He spoke in a slow and exaggerated manner that caused the tiny blonde to close her eyes and gulp in response. “You came to see exactly what you saw, didn’t you?”

Even in the dark, Reglin could see the blush on the Princess’s cheeks. He knew that he struck at her sense of decency there, not like that particular notion meant much to him. He was just not willing for his little group of lovers to be spied upon. There was too much at risk, especially for Tabitha. Yelena was still struck dumb though and didn’t trust herself to speak just yet.

“I’m going to throw out a hypothesis… tell me where I deviate.” Reglin spoke in a calm voice, hoping to settle her down a bit. “While we practiced our exercises this evening, you noted aura interplay between the three of us in intriguing ways. Colors that got you a little worked up. I’d be willing to guess you had inclinations before, but those confirmed it for you… You wanted to see just who had won over the attentions of the woman you held so much respect and adoration for. Or more like, you wanted to see her adorations in person, I think.”

Looking like a fish out of water, Yelena’s mouth worked open and closed a few times, with no sound being uttered. Finally clearing her throat, she was able to formulate words, albeit quietly, “H-How… How’d you know?” was the extent of it. She looked like Reglin had uncovered some vast mystery.

A small shrug and smirk, the big man went on casually, “You are like me, I’m sure. I still have a hard time remembering that there are others that can see these mana strands. You forgot that I could see your own… And who was the lodestone for them in a crowd.” The Princess looked down bashfully, “It’s not surprising to me in the slightest. You have always seemed like someone that saw into a person and would be attracted to them for those qualities. The fact that the most impressive person of character in your midst was a woman might have swayed your ideas of attraction. And really, no big deal…”

Head shooting up and those pale blue eyes almost looked white in the dark surroundings, “You-You are not… Disappointed? Or disgusted by the idea?” Her poor blushing cheeks made Reglin want to reach out and reassure her. But he restrained himself.

Instead of that, Reglin just looked over his shoulder toward the entrance to the bedchambers, “I know you saw at least of what we were getting up to in there. That included what those two are up right this very second. If you think I might have a problem with the idea of two beautiful women enjoying themselves in such a primeval manner, you are sorely mistaken. Not many things are more enticing to me.”

He did his best to not draw her attention to his still engorged rod, but the subject did that anyway as she gave it another look, this time lingering a few split seconds longer, “I… see…” She looked away from him then but couldn’t decide on where to look.

“You know… If anyone were to see this or know about what is happening between us right now, I’d be executed, right?” Reglin tried to make it sound nonchalant, but the severity of the situation made light-heartedness just a bit of reach.

That shocked her gaze back to him though, “You think I would do that to you? To both of you? Or… the three of you, I suppose?” She had a look of dread on her face. He didn’t want that, but this was a serious matter.

“I do not… But I just want you to know the weight of all this.” He sighed quietly then. He gave a moment of silence before moving forward, pushing things along, “I don’t know if voyeurism is a usual thing for you, but with the aforementioned significance, I don’t feel like just offering the three of us up for spectatorship.”

Darkening in the face came once more at his remarks of her watching the three of them. She took a deep breath and straightened her shoulders, “It had been some time, but I admit to watching my parents out of curiosity when I was younger. But I do not make a habit of it…”

Giving a minimal nod, Reglin formed a small smile on his lips as well. He moved to open the closet then. “I see two paths going forward… You wait for me to go back in there and leave while the two of them are distracted by the obvious… Or….” Using the lamp, he was able to find those floral oils that they liked so much. He left the alternate path unspoken for a moment.

Not being able to take that pregnant pause, Yelena had to push the second option out quickly. Anxiety was pulsing through her as she said simply, “Or?... Or what? What’s the alternative?”

Smirking at her, his eyes squinted with the smile, “Not liking the first path overly much, are we…” She made no verbal response, only stared at him intently, “Or… You come with me and let the ladies know just how appreciative of an audience you were…”

That got a reaction out of her. Trepidation would be too much of an understatement. But she was not quite in a panic… Not quite. She said nothing but looked around without focus once again and made little whining noises.

Reglin rolled the bottle of oil in his palm and tried to speak soothingly, “I’m not asking you to do anything you are not comfortable with. I wouldn’t anyway, given that you who you want I can’t speak for… Well, perhaps I can. But that’s just for tonight. I still wouldn’t do so with something like this.” He paused, “But if you’re not comfortable enough to at least be in the room with us, I am going to have to ask you to leave…” He made his face sterner, “And soon. I’m sure Asha’s wondering why I’m not deep inside already, and I mean to be quickly. You girls had me aroused to no end this evening…”

The whining ceased at his words and she looked at him shyly, “You girls?” her voice was a match for het look: shy. “Di-Did I manage to excite you too?” Then it was like a floodgate opened, “I know a few of those other ladies are incredibly sexy, so I understand how you would feel. But…” She slowed once more, “Did I?”

Reglin’s mouth was agape with astonishment. He wasn’t sure, but he hoped that she took that correctly. He closed his mouth quickly and went forward, Yelena…” He cleared his throat, “Yes, Yelena. You were without question, able to spark quite a response within me.” In his animated explanation, Reglin’s member bounced a bit, drawing her eyes once more.

Taking a deep breath, Yelena looked like she was trying to compose herself, though she was still looking at Reglin’s nude genitalia. After a moment, she looked back at him, “I know you want to be with Tabitha and Asha right now, but… Wha-What do you like about me? Compared to Wilmyna or Camilla, I barely feel very womanly.”

‘Gods’ Reglin thought to himself. Poor Yelena was suffering from some inadequacies it seemed. He was almost certain that they derived from some reinforcement from that older sister of hers. How to approach this? Did he romance her with how she was so lovely in so many ways beyond just the physical? Or did he go the route of the crude and just explain all the base actions that he had play out in his imagination.

“Well, you will have to bear with me… I have to narrow down my options here.” Making his voice just a tad huskier he went on, “You bring up Wilmyna, and yes, she’s attractive… But you strike me as just a womanly and sexy.”

The look that Yelena gave him then went from uncertain, to sheer disbelief. Her tone of voice sounded like she was trying to keep some semblance of patience. “You cannot believe those words of yours, Reglin… I think you are being a good friend, a loyal servant, or both when you say that.”

Breathing out a sigh and shrugging, the big man explained himself, “I do think that… Yes, I might be a good friend of sorts, but there is much more to a woman than just how she attracts a man with her body.” He gave her a smirk then, “However, if that’s how you want to keep score, so to speak… I will tell you what runs through my mind when I look at you if you wish.”

This caused the Princess to draw another inflated breath once more. She took measure of the situation, and her eyes were alight with something that Reglin could only think was determination. A single nod came then, “Please… I think I would like to hear it.”

The smirk he had transformed to more of a lecherous sneer as Reglin made no effort to hide the fact that his eyes began to run over the petite blonde’s form. “First thing’s first, darling…” introducing a pet name in hopes of doing maybe a couple of things, “You are so small.” The Princess instantly flared up as much as she could out of reaction. “No, no, no… They say a man’s mind is a simple thing. I would guess that’s possible. But here’s a bit of anecdotal insight for me. I see Wilmyna, or Freighla, and I see women who if I were to bed, I would go into it with a mindset of going into battle. In my mind I feel like they would be taking measure of me almost from a peer’s standpoint. Now, having not been with either I may be way off. But their stature reinforces that feeling. It’s just how it is. Both are beautiful, but both are formidable and intimidating to a degree. That’s for them… Make sense?”

Yelena’s eyes had narrowed a bit while listening to him, thinking about his words. She nodded almost absently along with them. It was almost enough for Reglin to forget that he was standing in front of one of his House charges completely nude.

“Now… With you, Princess. Your stature brings about feelings in me, and probably many other men, that are much more protective. I cannot help but want to shield you from any incoming dangers… Yet, knowing you as I do, I know that it’s not really necessary. But that doesn’t remove the instinct. Much how I would be going to battle with the Nord women, with you I feel an initial desire to be perhaps a bit more on the affectionate and caring side. Once more, not knowing you ‘intimately’… That may be way off from your own desires, but that would be for us to figure out if that were ever to happen.” He leered at her then, “Though, there is a much less wholesome thought I have when I look at you as well…”

Brows made their way up her forehead at that. Yelena had somehow managed to gain a bit of composure through this little exchange. “Oh?” Her lips couldn’t fight the physical need to smile at the thoughts she was imagining. “Please, if we are being so candid, continue to do so…”

Giving the minute girl a single waggle of his brow, he followed it with a mock-reverential bow of his head, “If you insist, your Highness…” Reglin’s eyes ran over her once more more, even tilting his head to take in her ass, “I imagine you, naked of course… As many such sessions require. But I cannot help but imagine having you. Having you so that your body never rests on any furniture. That those adorable little feet of yours never touch the ground. That I would maneuver you about like an acrobat, taking you in a multitude of ways. Whether I held you aloft and let your legs straddle my shoulders while I tasted on nectar of your loins… Or I hold you in place by that tiny waist of yours and just slide the length of my manhood in and out of you.”

Reglin’s sexual and intimidating auras were doing a number on the Princess. Her breathing instantly took on a laboring quality. A hand came up and she held fingers in front of her now agape mouth that was a match for the perfect circles of her eyes. “Ohhh… Oh my.” Is all that Reglin could catch from her quiet voice.

“But that’s just one perverted man’s imagination of some of things he would do to you if the opportunity arose.” Reglin gave another shrug, “I ‘think’ you find me appealing enough, but I don’t know if the qualifier of ‘for a man’ should be attached. Either way, I know that your main desire for some time now is a certain sagely blonde woman in that bedchamber, who is having her face used as a saddle this moment.” Grinning widely at that, his teeth shone in the dark. Yelena’s own face was still stuck in that visage of astonishment that he just induced. “So, I ask you again… Do you want to come with me and see what kind of debauched activities we make each other do up close and personal? Or would you like to leave us three to our appetites? It’s up to you, Princess…”

Coaching her breathing some, Yelena had also managed to narrow her eyes enough so that Reglin couldn’t see their entire form in her skull. She let out a long breath, “Reglin… You are not bad at painting a mental image…” She fanned herself with the hand that had been covering her mouth, “As to your question though. You mean it that I can just… watch… if I want?”

He gave a chuckle and nodded at that, “Truly Yelena? You’re a princess… I cannot even make you leave this spot really. I ask only out of respect for us. We would never make you do anything… for myriad reasons. I know Tabitha and I care for you too much to do so at least…. And I think Asha likes you a good bit too. So, will you come with me?”

After a few moments of silent stillness, the Princess finally gave a curt nod. That look of determination had returned and Yelena looked as though she was preparing herself for a battle of her own.

Reglin smiled at the little woman, then turned toward the entryway. He offered his arm as he would offer as an escort. The Princess couldn’t help but laugh at the preposterousness of the handsome young guard offering his arm while being completely bare. Shaking her head in disbelief, she looped her arm through his and the pair went out to join the two other women in the quarters.
