The great gate to the wall that guarded Runefaust's inner border from the rest of the world was a lot less imposing lying in smoldering pieces on the ground. Anri, Tao, Domingo, and Alef collectively dusted off their hands and looked at each other with satisfied smiles. Max had called out the magic users of the Shining Force to blast a hole through the last obstacle remaining between them and Runefaust's home territory. Everywhere around the gate lay the remains of what had been Runefaust's most elite guards, and what monsters Darksol could supply to back them. They hadn't been enough, and neither had the great gate, which had stood guard over Runefaust's border for a century. Against the onslaught of ice, fire, and lightning the four magic users called up, even the warded and reinforced wood of the gate could not stand. Especially not when one was tapping the powers of the legendary Demon Rod.
The Demon Rod was an ancient artifact of untold power and unknown evil. Wrested from the hand of a Demon Master long ago, there were many legends about its power, and more than a few about its insidious curse. Unfortunately for the Force, the legends were unclear on what exactly that curse was, so when they found the staff in the course of their war, they were at first unsure what to do with it. Max had finally agreed to let Lowe and Alef try to seal the curse while leaving the Rod available for use. As far as anyone could tell, it had succeeded, and Alef now wielded the potent weapon against Runefaust.
Now the Shining Force was marching underneath fortifications no longer manned, into the heart of Runefaust, and for days, they noticed one thing.
No one was opposing them.
“I think it's weird, you know? After all this fighting, now we're just sort of sauntering along,” Ken noted, trotting lightly besides Mae.
“Their will to fight has been broken. What remains of the army has either deserted or been pulled back to fortify the castle, I'd wager,” Gort said, keeping his hand on his axe despite the words.
“Now that's a fight I'm looking forward to. Breaking down those walls and staring ugly ol' Ramladu straight in his bloodshot eyes!” Vankar boasted.
“You're one to talk about bloodshot eyes,” Mae said, rolling her own. “Which reminds me. Put that flask away. We're in enemy territory.”
“Aw lighten up, I could take on ten... no, twelve of those Runefaust sops even while drunk,” Vankar said. He put his flask away anyway a moment later when Mae's expression did not change.
Anri giggled a little, walking besides her secret lover and 'bodyguard' as always. Mae frowned.
“What's so funny?” she asked.
“Nothing. It's just reassuring to see that even when victory seems assured, you take everything seriously,” Anri said with a warm smile. “I love that about you.”
Mae flushed a little at the words, though the subtext was no doubt lost on anyone but the two of them. Lowe laughed.
“And I love sleeping in a warm bed instead of a camping tent!” the halfing said. “Which is what we'll all be able to do in just a few days. Think about it! We'll be sleeping in the priciest inn in Runefaust once we take their capital! Spoils of victory and all that! The best food and drink on the house!”
“It is good to know the minions of the Church of Light hold such virtue in their thoughts at all times,” Earnest dryly said, shooting Lowe a look of disgust. Khris winced and spoke up.
“H-hey now, don't judge us all by one errant priest...” the kyantol healer said. “Virtue is the true meat and drink of any real follower of the Light.”
“I'll take steak and ale over that any day,” Lowe laughed, walking over to the groups' leader and elbowing him in the gut. “Right, Max?”
“I can believe that,” the swordsman lightly said. “You would take steak and ale over *anything* any day. I hate to break it to you though, but if we hold Runefaust, we'll be headquartering in the castle until we figure out what to do. No pricey inns for you, Lowe.”
“Aw. Oh well, I guess I'll have to make do with Ramladu's stores and royal finery then,” Lowe said, smiling broadly as he wrung his hands together.
“You do know that Ramladu despises opulence, right?” Anri asked, turning to regard the diminutive vicar. A mischievous grin tugged at her face. “To better serve as an example to his troops and people, he dines on simple fare, as does everyone in his castle. He also had most of the castle's beds changed from feather to straw mattresses 'until the war is won.”
A look of horror dawned on Lowe's face. “That's... that's madness...” he hissed. “Replacing good soft feather beds... with... with straw?!”
“What's so bad about sleeping on straw?” Mae asked, glaring at Lowe, who huffed.
“Not everyone is half-horse, you know!” Mae's eyes narrowed and her face turned red as she opened her mouth to deliver a retort. Before she could, Arthur clocked Lowe lightly on the top of his head.
“You eat enough to be a full horse,” Arthur commented as Lowe pouted and rubbed his head.
“I was joking anyway, Lowe,” Anri said, still smiling. “Ramladu does despise opulence, but only the gaudiness of places like Alterone. It just means the beds will be feather mattresses and cotton sheets instead of feathers and silk. And the food will probably be about as good as you can expect in a war-torn land.”
“You can be a cruel ruler sometimes, my queen,” Lowe said, shaking his head. Anri's smile faded and the halfling immediately regretted his jest. “Sorry... bad joke. You'll be a fine ruler, I know it.”
“Fair's fair,” Alef cut in, grinning toothily at the princess. “Anri makes a bad joke and she gets a bad joke in turn. I never thought I'd see you play tricks on poor Lowe, though. Cruel ruler indeed to mess with a mind like his.”
“With the war near ending, I've been lighter of heart lately,” Anri replied, smiling again. Alef grinned.
“I bet,” she said.
“My head's not that easy to mess with, is it?” Lowe asked. Tao scoffed.
“Maybe if you thought more about battle and not food,” Tao said, walking closely besides Alef. “Alef is completely right to mock you.”
“Tao agrees with Alef,” Lyle laughed. “There's a shocker for ya, mate.”
“A real shocker is what the enemy is going to get if they're dumb enough to attack!” Tao said, an almost feral grin spreading across her face. “Alef's Bolt spell combined with my Blaze? You'll be lucky if we leave anything left for the rest of you!”
+++
As the Force moved along, Anri's eyes kept wandering to the spiked black leather collar now around Tao's neck. She knew she wasn't the only one either. Even if she hadn't seen the impromptu 'ceremony' in which Toa received it, it was an odd enough adornment for people to take notice of. The fact that Tao seemed to never take it off had also been noted. There was even a rumor going around that she bathed with it on, though Anri had to wonder how someone found that out.
Collar aside, people were also noticing some definite changes in Tao. While she had always taken a degree of satisfaction in using her magic in combat, now she seemed to relish what few fights the Force got in along their march. There was a gleam in her eye that was not there before, though she knew Max was chalking it up to a renewed zest for living. There was the more obvious change in how she acted around Alef. While Tao before had always been a little withdrawn except around a very select circle of friends, Anri included, now she almost exclusively spent her time with Alef. She followed her wherever she went, always walking behind with what was almost a sly smile on her face. Alef barely needed to ask before Tao did things like fetch things for her, clean her gear, or take over any of the camp chores when it was her turn to do them. She also seemed to like to stay very close to her, the two were barely inches apart at any given time, and often touching. Not to mention that in battle she protected her with a zeal that to Anri seemed to border on fanaticism. Combined with the rising rumors about the noise coming from Alef's tent, and Tao usually being seen coming out of it rather than her own in the morning, and there was a lot of talk about just what was going on between the two of them. Given all the rumors, Anri was surprised she and Mae had done such a good job of staying unnoticed. All the talk about them was just people being jealous of how good friends they seemed to be. Then again, Anri wasn't making Mae wear a collar.
“Though that could be fun...” Anri thought, and immediately gave herself a mental slap. That wasn't thinking worthy of a lover, much less a princess.
Anri was a little unsure how to feel about Tao and Alef's unconventional relationship... the idea of one being a slave and the other being a master didn't feel right to her. Mae just seemed to be glad that the two were happy, and Anri could at least agree with that. Tao had been moody and withdrawn for a while now, and if Alef could pull the elf out of her funk, then so much the better. If she hadn't seen the gifting of the collar, she probably would have assumed Tao was just being loving, so maybe it was just a harmless kink for them. Either way, she was still set on asking her about improvements to her technique, though she was unsure how to go about it.
+++
It was early night when Anri finally decided to go to Alef's tent, Mae in tow. Mae had commented earlier that she should tag along to 'keep the princess honest'. This comment had earned her a playful smack, but Anri was glad she said that. It gave her an excuse to ask her to come along rather than do it one at a time, and she suspected she might have actually chickened out had it been left solely to her. Even though it was her own idea, Anri was new to having a lover, and far newer to the prospect of asking for help on how to better please a lover. Having Mae beside her was comforting... reassuring in a way that Anri had never quite felt before. So long as Mae was beside her, she felt she didn't have to be afraid of anything.
Despite that, she still felt awkward as the pair stood in front of Alef's tent and heard the muffled giggles, shuffling, and occasional sigh of pleasure from within. Anri raised her hand and paused, face reddening as she realized there was no door to knock. Lowering her hand, she instead cleared her throat loudly. The sounds did not quiet. She tried again, then ventured to speak, voice barely above speaking volume.
“Uh... Alef?” she asked, looking around the shadowy campsite and being all too aware that a wrong move now would go a long way to making her and Mae's affair public before the two were ready. “Can you... Alef?”
“Oh for the love of Light, Anri,” Mae sighed, shaking her head at the timid attempt. “Let me do it. Alef! Company!”
Mae's voice was not quite a shout, but it was loud enough that the sounds from inside the tent became panicked squeaks and shuffling as Alef responded in a strained voice. Anri winced and looked around again, half expecting to see someone investigate the noise. No one did, though. She wondered for a moment if the people who had drawn guard duty were doing their jobs or just knew the difference between campsite noise and what could be an enemy attack.
“Don't come in! Uh, be right there!” Alef called. A minute later, Alef poked her head out of her tent, looking more than a little disheveled and nervous. The nervousness faded as she saw who it was, though the disheveled aspect remained, her robe half-clasped and clearly thrown on in a hurry. “Oh it's just you two. I thought you might be... well, never-mind. So... the princess and her knight. What can I do for you two at this time of... well, night.”
“We know about you and Tao,” Mae said, crossing her arms. Alef seemed unfazed, but there was a subtle change in her demeanor that Anri saw. Something resembling caution.
“Know what about me and her?” Alef asked.
“We know you gave the collar to her,” Anri said. “We know you two are... involved, and... ah, we had a favor to ask.”
“A favor?” Alef asked, wrinkling her nose in confusion. “So... what, you're going to tell everyone if you don't get what you want?”
“What? No! No, that's not it at all,” Mae said, shocked at the insinuation she would stoop to blackmail. “Besides, you haven't been exactly subtle.”
“No... not really,” Alef agreed. “A fault of mine is that I like to see how far I can push things. So far me and Tao have been stopping short of publicly kissing each other and no one's said anything beyond rumor. Which is why I'm confused at what you're going to ask, because if everyone already half knows about it, it's pretty poor blackma-”
“It's not blackmail!” Mae almost shouted. Anri laid a hand on her shoulder to quiet her and Mae gave her a look of embarrassment. Alef arched an eyebrow at the look as Mae spoke again, quieter. “It's not blackmail. I'm saying we know because... we're like that too.”
“You're like...” Alef began, then stopped as a broad smile spread across her canine mouth. “What, you... and Anri? Really? This isn't a joke?”
Anri reached up and took Mae's face into her hands and kissed her on the lips, slipping her tongue into her mouth lightly. Mae's eyes widened for a moment in surprise, but quickly closed as her arms folded Anri to her, the pair losing themselves in the sweetness of the kiss for a while. When their lips parted and Mae released Anri from her embrace, Alef was left standing mouth open, eyes unblinking.
“Wow. All right, you weren't joking. No one fakes a kiss like that,” Alef said, regaining her composure. “Sorry for not believing you, it's just unexpected. I keep a pretty good ear to the ground on the gossip in this camp, and I didn't know the two of you... well, liked women, much less liked each other.”
“We've been keeping it a secret,” Anri said. “To avoid scandal. Politics will... complicate things when the war is over.”
“Well you've been doing a good job,” Alef said, opening the tent flap. “Come in, come in.”
The interior of the tent was relatively plain, Anri noted as she stepped inside. The most notable features were the small glow-orbs set up around the top for light, the clothes scattered around the interior, and the two sleeping rolls which had been pushed together in the center of the tent. Tao sat in one of those, naked under a single blanket, her collar the only piece of clothes currently worn. She watched Anri and Mae enter warily.
“Mistress?” she asked, turning to Alef when the foxling entered and closed the flap behind her. She waved her off.
“It's fine, they know,” Alef said, sitting down next to Tao, though not joining her under the blankets yet.
“Have we really been doing that good of a job?” Mae asked, carefully setting herself down near the tent flap as Anri found a spot between her and Alef. “Keeping it secret, I mean. It doesn't seem like it, sometimes.”
Alef laughed and shook her head. “Compared to the other couples running around at night thinking they're being all sneaky and shadowy about getting some? No, if I didn't figure out you and Anri were together, no one else is going to.”
“Other couples?” Anri asked, brow tightening in thought. “I... didn't even know there were other couples. Aside from Amon and Balbaroy of course.”
“Well no wonder,” Alef said, wagging a finger at Anri. “No offense, but from what Tao tells me, both you and Mae have been caught up in vengeance for so long, you completely missed half of what's been going on in camp. I've only been here since the battle against the Demon Master and I probably know more about the sordid scandals taking place in our Force than you.” Alef grinned, showing most of her teeth. “...then again, I am pretty good at finding out secrets.”
“Scandals?” Mae asked, looking to Anri, who shrugged. Alef laughed.
“Certainly! Let me give you a few examples,” Alef said leaning forward towards the two. “On the tamer side is the fact that Max has caught Vankar, Pelle, and Arthur leaving headquarters for the whorehouses at least three times when we were in Prompt. They tried to get Ken to go with them the last time, but he had none of that.”
“That's the tamer side?” Mae asked, astonished. Mentally she berated herself for not catching Pelle, Vankar and Arthur herself. Not only was she second in command, she was unofficially head of the centaur calvary, and for Max to catch her troops shirking duty for rutting with city-whores was amazingly shameful. She'd have to keep a closer eye on those good for nothings. Alef laughed.
“Oh, yes, tame!” Alef said, clapping her hands together. “You think that was bad? Notice how Diane has been keeping her distance from Luke? During the celebration of Dragonia's liberation, they both got really, really drunk. The next morning? Luke wakes up in Diane's bed. Get this, though. In addition to Diane not really liking him that much to begin with, Luke's got someone waiting for him back home!”
“Oh... my...” Anri gaped. She shook her head. “And this sort of thing is... common?”
“Well not common, but it's not exactly rare either,” Alef said. All traces of her earlier tension had vanished as she sank into the role of gossip-monger. “Things like these happen in warbands. You stay in them long enough, you'll see.” Alef shook her head. “Anri and Mae... Almost surprising as Max and...”
“Max got a girlfriend?” Anri asked, eyes widening.
“I'm... surprised he managed to keep it a secret, given how many eyes are on him,” Mae said.
“He didn't,” Alef said, shaking her head. A sly grin pulled at her mouth. “And the term is lover. Honestly, say it like that and you sound like a school-maiden more than a battle mage or ruler. He didn't get a girlfriend, he got a lover.”
“Who?” Mae and Anri asked at the same time. Alef wagged a finger.
“Maybe I'll tell you later. Anyway, we've gotten far off track. What did you want to ask me?” Alef asked.
“Well... you seem to know... a lot about this sort of thing...” Anri began. “...especially if knowing all that is any indication. You have... more experience...”
“We want you to teach us how to better please each other,” Mae said. Alef giggled.
“After we just got done talking about all these horrid scandals you want to start one up yourself? Princess and royal knight seeking sexual aid from a beastfolk... ah, it's grand,” Alef said, holding a hand to her mouth to muffled her laughter. Mae flushed crimson.
“It's an honest request and if you're not going to help...” she began to say. Alef shook her head.
“I was only teasing. I do that a lot. So, you two have been having...difficulties?”
“No. Far from it, it's been wonderful. But...” Anri said, biting her lip. “We just thought... well, neither of us really knows what we're doing, and add to that the fact that we're different species... I just want to be able to make Mae feel as good as I can.”
“With any skill, you go to someone with more experience to refine your technique,” Mae said, crossing her arms again. Alef grinned yet again, looking almost predatory in the dim light of the tent.
“Well, with this particular skill... Words alone aren't exactly the best way to teach it,” Alef purred, leaning forward and crawling towards Anri. The foxling mage crept between Anri and Mae and slipped an arm around each of their shoulders, drawing them closer before whispering further. “...why not let me teach it to you... with a few demonstrations?”
Anri and Mae looked at each other and silently nodded before turning back to Alef.
“All right. What do you want us to do?” Anri asked. Alef responded by gently pushing Anri back onto the bedroll.
“I want you to pay attention,” Alef said, beginning to unclasp and pull off her robe. The garment fell off with little prompting.“...and enjoy yourself. Tao?”
“Yes mistress?” the elf asked, perking up at Alef's call.
“Help me with our pretty little princess here,” Alef cooed as her hands found the clasps for Anri's mage-cloak and undid them, tossing the garment to the side. Tao emerged from beneath the blankets, exposing her naked body for Mae and Anri to see. It was just as beautiful a sight as it was when they spied on her with Alef. “Mae, pay close attention to where I touch Anri and how.” Mae nodded and slowly pulled up her own shirt in preparation for when it was her turn, eyes never leaving the spectacle of Anri being slowly undressed by Alef and Tao.
“Even undressing is something to keep in mind,” Alef said as she finished getting Anri's clothes off of her. “Do it slow enough and it heightens the anticipation of what is to come. Too slow and it goes to just being frustrating, though.”
Anri reflexively covered her bare chest with her arms when her robe finally slipped off her, prompting a grin from Alef and Tao, who gently pulled her arms back. Alef nodded in approval of the sight of Anri's large, pale breasts.
“That sight alone is payment enough for this little lesson,” she said. “No more words for a while. Just watch. Ask questions when it's all done.”
With that, Alef leaned forward and planted a clumsy kiss on Anri's mouth, the different shape making it unlike anything Anri had experienced before. Alef seemed to compensate for the awkward positioning with zeal, her tongue aggressively entering and tasting the princess' mouth as her hands roamed Anri's soft flesh, finally coming to hold Anri's face as Alef kept kissing her. At a motion from Alef, Tao crept behind Anri, pressing her breasts against her back and pressing her mouth to Anri's neck. The elf's hands trailed over Anri's flat stomach, sending shivers up her spine until they found the twin orbs that were Anri's breasts, which they clutched fiercely. Anri moaned in the double embrace and Alef withdrew with the toothy grin that Mae was noticing was often on her face. Anri's mouth was hardly free for a few seconds before Tao quickly latched her own mouth onto it, plunging her tongue into Anri's as one hand went from breast to cradle her cheek. Mae felt her nipples stiffen and her loins begin to pulse with desire as Alef trailed her tongue down between Anri's legs and began to feast. She had never seen something that turned her on so much as the sight of Anri being pleasured by two women at the same time. Tao released Anri from the kiss with a loud gasp for breath, then leaned back a little and nestled the princess' head in between her breasts, massaging both mammaries against the sides of her face. Anri did not resist, nor managed to do much of anything besides gasp and sigh in pleasure under Alef's ministrations. Occasionally, one of her wandering hands manages to caress Tao's body or hold Alef's head closer to her slit, but it was clear Anri was quite lost in the moment.
Mae found her hands wandering to her own breasts as she watched. Unable to press her loins against anything for relief, it was all she could do to try and stem the tide of her rising desire by squeezing her chest and pinching her own nipples.
“A knight is patient,” Mae reminded herself as she took in the sight of Anri getting fucked on the blankets. A light sheen of sweat was beginning to form on her perfect skin from the exertion. “It'll be my turn soon enough.”
A tremor wracked Anri's whole body as she reached climax suddenly and violently, gripping the blankets she lay on as her liquids gushed forward into Alef's waiting mouth. The foxling mage got up and wiped her face with a satisfied smile as Anri caught her breath, Tao still cradling her head.
“You lasted a little longer than I expected,” Alef said. She then looked over to Mae and giggled. “Hope you were paying attention.”
“I was,” Mae said, still feeling extremely aroused. The only thing stopping her from simply pouncing on one of the naked women before her and ravishing them was the iron discipline and ever-present sense of decorum she possessed. Alef nodded, taking note of Mae's hands working at herself.
“Good. Tao, will you attend to poor Mae? She's been kept waiting long enough, don't you think? Show her a good time, and show Anri a little about what you've learned,” Alef said. Tao nodded eagerly, gently extricating herself from behind Anri and almost leaping to Mae's side. Tao took a moment to slowly lick each of Mae's breasts, the centaur trembling with pleasure before moving around to her backside and kneeling before her glistening cunt. Slowly, almost reverently, Tao brought her lips to Mae's pussy and began to kiss it, alternating between soft kisses, and slow, forceful drags of her tongue across the nether opening. Alef moved around to Anri's back and gently pushed. Anri laid down on the blankets and moaned softly as she felt twin mounds of soft fur pressing against her naked back. Alef gently laid down on top of her and began to rub her entire body over hers as she greedily licked Anri's shoulder, neck, and ear before moving in for a fierce kiss. This time, Anri returned it just as fiercely, looking over to Mae and deciding to give her lover a good show. Alef seemed to have no objections, pressing into the kiss as she rolled Anri over, rubbing their fronts together for a while. Anri had to admit, it felt very good... like a full body massage with a fur coat. It lasted a little shorter than she'd have liked as Alef sat up and pulled Anri up with her. With a wink, but no word, she slid her legs over Anri's and then pulled her close, the princess giving a short squeak as she realized her pussy was just an inch from touching Alef's. Alef brought her hands up against Anri's sides and let them travel to her breasts, fondling them appreciatively. Anri mimicked her, eliciting a short gasp from Alef as her hands grasped and squeezed the soft, furred mounds of flesh in front of her. Alef was slightly bigger than her! The thought only had a moment to spark in Anri's mind before Alef's arms slid over Anri's back and drew her closer, the foxling covering her mouth with her own as she began grinding her loins against Anri's.
The sensation was amazing. Having only recently lost her virginity, and to a centaur, Anri had never been scissored before. The feeling of pressure on her most private of places, and for that pressure to be from a soft, furred body, was delightful, but the knowledge that it was another woman's pussy added an entirely new level to the pleasure. Alef let Anri's mouth go as she leaned back and growled, her arms bracing her body against the ground as her thrusts against Anri increased.
“That's... incredible...” Anri managed to say, leaning back and supporting herself with her arms much as Alef was doing.
“It's just a taste,” Alef replied, bucking hard with each word. “You... have a lot to learn... and I... have a lot... to TEACH!”
Anri couldn't stop herself, screaming in pleasure at the last thrust as another orgasm hit her. She was soon joined by Mae, who looked like she was having trouble standing as Tao withdrew with a big smile from her pussy. The only one who didn't look extremely happy in that moment was Alef.
“Tao!” Alef scolded, turning from Anri to glare at her elven servant/lover. “I saw most of that, and it was sloppily done!”
“I have... no complaints...” Mae panted. Alef shook her head anyway and Tao bit her lip and looked down.
“No, no, it won't do. If it was just for fun, I'd let it slide, but this is supposed to be a lesson!” Alef extricated herself from her position, stood and walked over to Mae. Anri flopped down onto the blankets for a bit, recovering from the pleasant assaults on her womanhood. Kneeling by Mae's behind, Alef looked at Tao, speaking sternly.
“Now, watch. Even with a more humanoid woman, you should lick erratically and vigorously once she's this aroused, and that goes double for a centaur, because she has a much larger area for you to pleasure--it's just common sense, Tao! And always, always make sure to give the clit some attention, even if you are aiming to tease it,” Alef said, leaning forward to pick up where Tao had left off. Mae immediately let out a sharp gasp as she was submerged into a world of pleasure once more. Her mouth busied by the demonstration, no further words came from Alef for a time.
Anri started to speak, but was ambushed by the now unoccupied Tao. The elf had noiselessly crept around her mistress and Mae as they had begun to make love, and had now pressed her breasts against Anri's back, her hands sliding up to cup her breasts. Anri gave a startled squeak that was quickly silenced by a greedy mouth as Tao pressed her lips on Anri's.
“I can do two things at the same time,” Tao whispered as she withdrew her lips, leaving Anri gasping for breath. “Let me practice on you while I watch Mistress.”
“I... uh...” Anri stammered as Tao softly kissed her neck and trailed down to her belly, licking there in a swirl before bringing her tongue up again to her left nipple. Her mouth gently latched there as she looked into Anri's eyes for a moment before glancing towards Alef and Mae, still going at it. Anri's delayed response was dropped altogether as Tao slid a pair of fingers into her. The elf whispered into her ear as she stroked her insides, putting pressure on her g-spot.
“I'd explain the technique to you, but I think you can figure it out best just by remembering what I'm doing... and I intend to make this good enough that you'll always remember it,” Tao said, planting another kiss on Anri's shoulder before her eyes rose to watch Alef.
Alef was lapping at Mae with gusto, the zeal in which she applied herself a stark contrast to the slow, measured attempts of Tao earlier. Tao herself was pumping her fingers into Anri at a steady pace, her mouth kissing and sucking her neck and shoulder while she watched her mistress pleasure Mae with rapt attention. Mae was still massaging her own breasts, swinging her face from side to side and occasionally stamping a hoof as she tried to contain herself and failed. Anri found the entire sight extremely arousing, she had never managed to see her lover in such pleasure from this angle before. She made a mental note to experiment with mirrors if they ever got back to Guardiana. Such idle thoughts were soon banished by a surge of gratification shot through her body courtesy of Tao. The pumping fingers were increasing their pace, and Tao's mouth hungrily sought hers for a kiss. Silver and pink hair tangled together as the two mages almost fought for dominance with their mouths, Tao finally breaking it with a gasp as she turned back to watch Alef as she had been instructed.
Mae went first this time, soaking Alef's face with her fluids as she reached a mighty orgasm with a loud cry. The sight of Mae's face contorted and blissful with carnal sensation was too much for Anri to take, and she came as well, her passage pulsing around Tao's fingers as she bit down on her thumb to keep from screaming. Mae's legs finally gave out and the centaur collapsed onto the pile of blankets in the middle of the tent. Anri was slumping back in Tao's arms, breathing heavily and completely spent. Alef and Tao leaned back and looked at each other with sly grins before Anri and Mae realized they weren't nearly finished yet.
The lessons continued for some time, and Alef could not remember the last time she had such attentive pupils.
+++
“Well... that was... different,” Anri gasped as the two left Alef's tent an hour later. Both were exhausted, though in the most pleasant of ways. Mae nodded in response to Anri, but said nothing more, her face surprisingly tight. Anri frowned and reached up to gently touch the centaur's cheek. “Mae... what's wrong?”
“It was... good,” Mae said, looking down at the ground. “Too good. Anri... I... I really loved watching you... well, fuck Alef and Tao. Watching you shake with pleasure, sweat with passion... even just thinking about it sends a thrill through me.” Mae paused, her head moving from side to side as she searched for words. “What does... what does that say about me? What does it say that I like watching the woman I think I love be pleasured by someone else? What does it say about me that I enjoyed being pleasured by someone else? It's not... it's not how love is supposed to be, from what I know about it.”
“Mae, is any of what we have 'supposed to be?” Anri asked, looping her arms around Mae's waist. “We're not a conventional couple to begin with. Trying to compare us to one is just asking for trouble.”
“I know...” Mae said, waving an arm back in the direction of Alef's tent. “...and I even encouraged you to do this with me, but now that it's done... well, I just can't help but wonder.”
Anri smiled. “What's this? Are you actually being indecisive? That's not the Mae I know. It's more your style to meticulously plan things out and then charge forward, dealing with things as they happen.”
“I don't care what that bard back in Prompt sang., love isn't a battlefield,” Mae said, stamping one of her hooves. “This is... this is totally different. My planning is worthless and my courage...”
“Don't start,” Anri said, lightly tapping Mae on the nose. “Just listen to me. I'm in love with a centaur and you're in love with a human; clearly we both like unconventional things. That's fine. You like seeing me fuck other women. That's also fine. Now here's the question. Do you want to see me love another woman?”
“No!” Mae said, and when the word left her lips it was the most certain she'd ever been of anything in her life. Anri smiled.
“Then we know where we stand,” she said. “Mae, given from the way Alef was talking, I'm quickly learning that having a kink or two is perfectly normal. If you want to invite other women into our bed or want me to invite other women into our bed once in a while, that's fine.” Anri laughed. “Now, if I see a spiked collar around your neck one night and I'm not the one who put it there... then there might be a problem.”
“Collars aren't my style. Though if it was for you, maybe,” Mae said leaning down to kiss her. She let the kiss hold for a while before breaking it off and looking into Anri's eyes with a smile. “Anyone else would have my hoofprints on their face.”
“And I guarantee to give anyone thinking to steal me away from you a... cold reception,” Anri said, opening her palm to form an ice crystal in it with her magic. Anri and Mae both burst into laughter a second laughter.
“Anri, stop hanging around Lowe. His terrible jokes are rubbing off on you,” Mae said draping an arm around her shoulders.
“Just be glad I'm not hanging around Arthur or Vankar. You'd get terrible come-ons instead.”
“That might not be so bad.”
“Oh, now you're just teasing.”
