Alice said she "had" to go through the front door and let Sophia or Yue know that I was fine and we wouldn"t be at dinner. I couldn"t argue since dinner was the one meal the whole house tried to share when it was possible, so I watched her leave through the front then made my way for the back. Hopefully, she would also tell them to keep an eye on Gustavo, so that he wouldn"t open his mouth while they ate. I shook my head, trying to clear it. I didn"t need thoughts about him, or Katye for that matter, floating around in my head tonight.While I walked, I pulled out a special gla.s.s bottle of an emerald green liquid. It was called Kilao, something that Alice brewed from time to time and she likened it to wine. She made it from a number of fruits that grew in the garden, but instead of burning when you drank it, a cooling sensation would spread. It also contained a small amount of mana in it which carried a calming effect, so it was a bit of an insurance plan for the night.
I took a swig as I maneuvered through the bamboo and enjoyed the feeling of the alcohol. The onsen was empty as I expected, so I headed over to the door and hung the silver ta.s.sel on the inside handle. I stripped down and storage my clothes away inside my ring. I stepped into the shallow end and made my way over to one of the carved stone chairs. I sat down as I took another sip from the bottle then I set it down on the rocky edge, outside of the water.
Since Alice could be awhile, I pulled out an old iPod and a portable speaker. I got some music going then I leaned back against the wall and took the occasional gulp of the Kilao. My entire body began to relax as I was cooled on the inside while the warmth of the hot spring seeped into my bruised skin. I didn"t channel my mana through my body to help speed up the energy that radiated from my wounds since it would also destroy the effect of the alcohol. Instead, I just enjoyed the tingle of the energy and my bottle.
"I didn"t mean to keep you waiting," Alice"s voice said as it broke through my semi-trance like state.
"No, I was just relaxing," I replied as I opened my eyes.
Alice was standing in front of me, naked in nearly knee deep water. Her bronze skin glistened in the misty air as she looked down at me, giving me a beautiful smile. I reached out a hand, which she took, and helped her sit down next to me. Picking up my bottle next, I offered her some and she took it without any complaints. She handed it back to me after taking a small drink and I copied her actions, but she refused it the second time.
"I think only you can drink Kilao heavily without fear of falling asleep," she said with a light chuckle.
"Benefit of the bloodline, I guess," I replied.
A similar gla.s.s bottle appeared in her hand, but this one was filled with violet liquid. If Kilao was "Yin", Baruen was "Yang". It was warmth to the touch and a fiery sensation would race up your throat before instantly cooling when you opened your mouth. The mana contained within would energize and "excite" your body. Unfortunately, I only had it once and it was decided that it should be my last time.
"Ha, what a night," I thought as a smile covered my face.
"Thinking naughty thoughts, are we?" Alice teased after she took a drink.
I stuck my tongue out at her tease then complained, "Of all the things awakening my bloodline changed, why couldn"t it help with the fact I blush at everything?"
She set her bottle down as she leaned in and rang her fingers over my collarbone. "It"s actually a really cute quality," she whispered in my ear then kissed my neck, ever so lightly, before she sat back down and grabbing her drink.
My whole body shivered despite the warmth and waves of urges and energy rippled throughout every inch of me. The Kilao and the energy from my bloodline were fighting a battle within my body, but since they countered each other, it was the closest I could get to feeling normal... although, I was getting pretty drunk at this point.
I didn"t chase after her like I normally would and instead, I just took another drink. Alice gave me a look, but I pretended not to notice as I took a few more gulps. I ended up finishing my bottle, so I stored it away, this whole time, not speaking.
"Do you want me to get Katye, instead?" Alice asked.
I sighed, "I"m sorry, Alice, I know I "invited" you..."
She placed a finger on my lips, stopping my words, and gave me a gentle smile. "Becca, you don"t need to apologize or feel guilty, just tell me the truth. Do you like her?"
I sighed and looked away. "I don"t know, maybe, but it isn"t "only" me that likes her... and I"m not talking about Gustavo."
"Now, that hurts a little. I"ve played with the "other" you a few times," she said playfully.
"It"s not the same... Just being near her awakens that side of me and I don"t have a lot of confidence in my self-control if things progress..."
"Becca, your control is getting better day by day now that you are working with One. You don"t have to worry so much."
"Even so, what does it matter? She"ll just end up with Gustavo in the end," I said, bitterly.
"Not every woman is straight," Alice laughed.
"Sophia and Lesedi weren"t straight before they came here," I retorted.
Her laugh stopped then she sighed as she realized I was right. "Still, you haven"t even tried," she said after a minute.
"Look," I said as I moved over and straddled her lap. "I"ve made up mind, I"m not pursuing her. So, let"s drop the subject and get to why we are here?"
"Don"t think you will get out of this conversation later," Alice replied as her drink vanished from her hands.
"I will certainly try," I said before I kissed her. To an outsider, I"m sure my action my seem strange and I didn"t have an explanation, but thankfully, Alice understood what I wanted... and even what I needed.
She returned my kiss with pa.s.sion as her hands wrapped around my waist and pulled me close enough that my crotch was pressed against her smooth stomach. She dragged her nails down my thighs while her other hand settled on my hip. I moaned into her lips and I rocked my hips as her nails dragged up my inner thigh. Her thumb pressed against my c.l.i.t causing my body to shake as I gasped, breaking our kiss. I"ll be honest, Alice was the source of all of my more magical tricks, and probably the other girl"s as well, so it"s needless to say she had far more finesse that I did.
Alice took advantage of my distraction and took one of my nipples in her mouth. I let out another moan as I began grinding against her hand and my hands fell to her neck. She switched to her middle finger, moving it around in circles, around and around my c.l.i.t. While her fingers were busy, her tongue was hard at work, sending little sparks of energy through my nipple. My fingers buried themselves into her raven black hair as I held her tightly and thrusted my body against hers. Everything came to a head when she nipped at my nipple and I let out a deep moan as I climaxed.
:d.a.m.n, am I becoming a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t?:The thought flashed through my mind, but I dispelled it with a chuckle and pulled Alice"s chin up, pressing my lips against hers.
I pushed my tongue into her mouth and sought out her own while her fingers never stopped moving. The second wave was fast approaching when she moved the hand on my hip to my breast. She fondled my breast for a moment before her fingers zeroed in on my nipple and she roughly pinched it as she sent threads of energy into me. I nearly let out a scream as I threw my head back and came for the second time.
:d.a.m.n... I really am.: I thought as I slowly rocked my hips against Alice"s hand while my body tried to calm down.
Alice kissed down my neck and buried her head into my shoulder. My body would jerk every now and then, but I slowly calmed down and gave her a gentle kiss. She moved her hands to my back as we enjoyed a relatively tamer kiss than before. I climbed off of her and stood up, helping her sit on the edge of the hot spring. While knelt down between her thighs, I scooped up a bit of the water and silent chanted one of the spells I had learned, freezing the water in my hand. I popped the ice cube in my mouth and glanced up to see Alice"s smile of approval. She may have her magic tricks, but I had some of my own.
I kept the ice back with my teeth, only allowing the cold tip of my tongue to trace along her wet slit which caused her to gasp and gripped my hair. In the steamy air, this technique was perfect. When the ice finally melt, my lips locked onto her c.l.i.t and I gently sucked on it while flicking my tongue back and forth across it. She couldn"t take it anymore and she let out a cry of pleasure, yanking my hair, as she came. She held me in place as pressed my tongue on her throbbing c.l.i.t until she finally pulled me up and kissed me roughly.
"Come on, we need to get back to my room before the others finish dinner," she said in a husky voice.
