Walking Disasters and Me-Shock, Cuddles, and Love – Ch 108
With that whispered response, the rest of the group comes to life again. Even Samantha picks herself up and dusts off the front of her work shirt, shooting a stern glance over towards Gerra who just gives an awkward smile in way of an apology. I notice the cute interaction, but can't find it in myself to disengage from the warm and cuddly body of Jun Li who seems to feel the same, even if she
does
look a bit shell-shocked still~. I love it when the roles are reversed and
I'm
the one breaking people's minds~! Feel my pain! Hehe~!
Spurred on by the soothing fire burning in my blood from the alcohol and satisfaction of getting one over on the girls, I weasel my way into Jun Li's lap as I rest my head on her shoulders, Akiko finally regaining enough sanity to turn towards the both of us and ask, "Samantha had mentioned your purchase of the weapons to me, but failed to inform me of that little display just now. How are you able to make such intricate enchantments on the skin of the weapon like that Amelia?"
I hum with closed eyes as I nestle my head into the crook of the midnight furred fox's neck, giving out my answer in calm but still happily giggling breaths, "Well~! Sam had me inspect the training room door, which was
awesome
by the way! Tyler
really
knew his stuff! I still struggle to really comprehend
all
of the finer details about it, but I was able to understand the purpose and intent behind the majority of its usage. Anywho! I saw how the connecting lines and stuff interacted and created clauses and effect chains, and then Ios showed me what the system said about the
[Mercurial Weapon]
, that it takes the shape that its owner wills upon it.
So - I guessed - if I willed an arrow or sword or something with deep, interconnecting runes and clauses like the door, then the form the silvery super weapon would take would have that etched on its skin! It isn't too hard to formulate these basic enchantments but if I want to like, open up a black hole or something, that'd probably take me longer to make since I have to mentally map out every line, symbol, and glyph as I'm pushing my will on the weapon~. It's essentially a really big exercise in mental projection~! And I can do it for other stuff too, like this!"
I move my arm above and away from both the table and Miss J, forming a leaf bladed short sword similar to the one Frodo and Samwise had with the enchantments from the sword I made earlier today. I also added an illumination enchantment with some additional effects to tweak the color output of it, so it actually glows light blue like in the movies~! I laugh with a healthy mixture of pride and delight as I shift to shield, spear, axe, and hammer, all with varying enchantments and buffs that leave the group in awe once more~.
Silence reigns over the table once more, and I hear Jun Li's heartbeat still going at a fairly rapid rhythm. I turn up lazily to see her face, a frown crossing my own as I ask out with concern, "Are you okay Miss J? Your heart's goin' a mile a minute, that's not good for you ya know!"
Jun Li's round and gentle face looks back down to me in a mixture between awe and incredulity, her unhidden ruby red eye seemingly unable to come to grips with the cute creature that is me lounging in her lap and what I just revealed. She shakes her head a few times, her raven bangs floating this way and that before she puts back on that soft smile that I always adore about her and says, "I am well, Miss Amelia~. I was just momentarily overcome by the sudden
destructive
powers you seemingly now possess! No doubt a result of your incredible ingenuity and unique skills and gifts. I am sorry for concerning you~."
She leans down to give me a little kiss on the cheek like I did to her just a few minutes ago, my heart doing somersaults as every drop of blood begins to heat up even further. I giggle again at the sensations, nodding in satisfaction for her answer and praise as I lay my head back down on her chest and nuzzle against her skin~.
"If the little bird had a tail, I could imagine it wagging up a hurricane right now~. I do have to agree with Jun Li though, I don't know what a 'black hole' is, but if you can engineer something even
more
explosive than what you just showed us... well, Mara
itself
might be in danger!" I hear Gerra's southern drawl tune out into a laugh that seems to flit around the rest of us as it weaves through the air.
"Indeed. Amelia is
nothing
if not a force of nature already, and I am eager to see what heights she reaches as time progresses~. Speaking of which, how much longer can you stay for tonight, Mistress?" Samantha chuckles along before asking over to Akiko, which does somewhat kill my mood. I glance up to Jun Li with puppy dog eyes and a little pout, her giving me a questioning look before she seems to realize what I'm asking for.
"Silly girl~. You don't need my approval to go and cuddle the Madam, although I will surely miss your warm and clingy attentions~. Besides," she leans down to whisper in my ear, "I think
Gerra
deserves some attention too." She gives me a miniscule brush of lips on my earlobe after her mature voice serenades me, sending shivers down my spine as I try and process all of that information. I end up just giving a stuttering, "Y-yeah..." with cherry tinted cheeks before giving her a final hug and then darting up into Akiko's lap.
"Well
hello
, my lovely Amelia~." Akiko says as she strokes my hair, rearranging me to lay on my back across her lap while her tails support and blanket me, her hands reaching down to twirl a few strands of my hair as I wrap my arms around one of the furry covers~. "To answer your question, my dear, I shall likely need to return as soon as we part ways here. Much of the function of the Sect was dutifully performed by trusted people underneath Julian, Fei, and X'Cos, but it seems that they are shouldering the burdens of logistics and management too much on their shoulders. Without their presence directly intervening in certain crucial matters complications can arise, so I must continue addressing those needs in their absence. I shall
certainly
have a talk with them about the merits of delegation upon their return, however."
I frown even though I'm just on the other side of heaven being all cocooned up in a fluffy paradise. Can't those jerks manage their shit
properly?!
...
Sigh
... I shouldn't be too hard on them, Julian actually seems like a really chill dude and Akiko trusts Fei and dinosaur man X'Cos pretty highly if she spared them from the purge. Still, it's not
fair~!
I want to have sexy cuddle times with my mommy fox!
Hmph!
No doubt sensing the little cloud of darkness on my harumphing features, Akiko just smirks and raises a tail tip to tickle my face, making me laugh and bat it away as she keeps trying - and succeeding - to find new spots to torment. "
Cute~
." She says lovingly before turning back to the group, "I will of course be available if something like Amelia's system leaving her indisposed occurs again. I understand the desire to not interrupt me when I am acting in official capacity as the Acting Sect Leader, but going forward I would appreciate a timelier notification than this last event, understood?"
I can't really tell from the horizontal angle, but that was
for sure
directed towards Samantha. I finally catch the little troublemaker ice blue tip of fur, grasping it firmly until Akiko looks down to me. "Hey. Don't be mean to Samantha, she took really good care of me. Honestly, there wasn't anything to do
but
take me back to the room and watch over me, and Ios was there the whole time."
A proud tilt pulls her lips upward as she leans down to nuzzle my face with hers before replying, "I am
delighted
to see your bonds growing between the girls, love. However, I did not mean that in a reproach of Samantha's actions, merely an amendment I would like to see if such an occurrence happens again while I am occupied. And remember, as much as we are paired and bonded now, I am also your primary mentor on cultivation matters. Anything that interrupts or interferes with your progress is important for me to know as soon as possible so that I may discuss options with spirit Ios, the group, and yourself."
I... can't really fault that logic, especially not while all hopped up on happy feels and happy drink, so I just nod and go back to cuddling into her tails with my eyes closed in delight~. Akiko chuckles as she weaves some of her nailed fingertips to my scalp, scratching
just
the right spots to make me writhe underneath her in bliss. "I will likely requisition your aid tomorrow, Samantha dear, as I believe it shall be Gerra's turn to instruct Amelia with the adjusted schedule now. Perhaps then I can begin getting caught up on the mountain of forms left to fill instead of having to listen to a complaining cat until she is sent off to go do something productive..."
I hear Gerra awkwardly cough from across the table as I can't help but laugh out loud. That is 100% a cat thing to do! Just meow and howl until they get what they want! Apples and trees I guess... Wait, is that racist? Er... Speciest? Maybe I can - delicately - ask about that with Gerra tomorrow, definitely not in the right head space to try that right now.
"Of course, Mistress. It would be my pleasure to assist you." Sam says curtly back before addressing Gerra, "You had better prepare yourself Gerra, Amelia is a quick study on any subject she is shown, so do not hold back on sharing your methods and information with her. She could eventually manage meals on her own if you are free with your knowledge, and wouldn't it be nice to get out of the kitchen to cultivate or spend time with us? I swear, you are like a closeted hermit sometimes, only leaving the cloister of pots and pans to rummage for attention or due to duty."
"H-
Hey!"
I hear the twangy voice clap back instantly in a huff, "I
do
get out and about, Sammy! I go hunting, I go shopping, and I
do
spend time with y'all! I just like being in my space! You don't see me harping on you for holing up in that
forge
of yours for
weeks
at a time, do ya?!"
I frown as I look back up to Akiko, wondering where the
hell
this raised tension is coming from, but the look on her face is one of amused delight and knowing as she gazes upon the growing fray. I reach up and pull at her sleeve, making her snap her attention back to me after slightly shaking her head a couple times. "Ah! Apologies, my love." Akiko says as she lowers her face down to whisper sensually in my ear, "This is how Gerra and Samantha flirt from time to time~. They are both very direct and competitive people and often trade joking barbs between themselves until one of them 'loses the game' so to speak."
I nod, still a bit confused as I whisper back, "What is 'the game?'"
Akiko chuckles as she gives me a little peck on the lips before answering, "Whoever breaks first, either by word or by action, is the more submissive one for the evening. The rules for 'breaking' are whoever devolves into lust or fails to land an accurate rebuttal. Trust me, this is a common and
playful
affair, even if the words may seem harsh in the moment. They never truly take it too far, and I have never had to interfere or disperse any of their little rituals thus far."
I just shake my head at the absurdity of it all, but it does make a certain amount of sense. Sam and Gerra always seem to be in a perpetual power struggle between themselves, but its beyond obvious that they both love and dote on each other too. Oh well, maybe its a mixture of their past and their nature, like Akiko was saying. I wiggle around a bit to look over to Jun Li, curious if she's put off by any of this, but she seems to have that same near hungry look that Akiko had before I asked about what was going on.
Well
alright then
, guess dinner and a show it is~. We don't have to wait long, as it seems Samantha was deeper in her cups than Gerra and eventually succumbed to her amorous side first. After another round of teasing and taunting, both their crimson tinted faces were nearly touching before the pink haired cat woman said one of the most explosive lines ever made in response to Samantha saying, "Ugh, as Amelia would say, you have such a
mouth
on you cat!"
Gerra's fabled response? "Then why don't you make it stop talking, human~."
The table nearly gets flipped from the tackling kiss that sees both women rolling to the ground in a mixture of moans and handsy grabs, apparently content to just start doing the deed right here and now! I blush heavily, raising a hand to cover my mouth as I'm unable to take my eyes off the scene until I hear Akiko giggle and begin to pick both of us up to standing.
"I believe," She says as she places me on my feet, scooping up the entire tables dishes and plates into her ring, "That that was a point for Gerra~. It will be interesting to see just how
much
aid poor Samantha will actually provide come the morrow~. On that note, my lovelies, I shall have to bid you goodnight. Perhaps in a week's time I can afford to stay in the estate once more after nightfall, but truly there is much to be done still."
Akiko looms over and cups my face with both her hands, splaying out her fingers wide so that they nearly encompass my entire head as she tilts up my lips and captures them with hers. I nearly melt into a puddle as she slips the tongue past the warring boundary of pliant flesh, dancing with mine a few times before she breaks it off with a wet *pop*. "
Delicious~
. I look forward to our next night together, sweet Amelia~."
I muster all the strength I can to keep my wobbly legs functioning as Akiko wades over and gives Jun Li the same treatment, Jun Li watching her mesmerizing form approach with subdued shyness and lust. Akiko takes a step back as she licks her lips then turns to observe the two semi-rough housing, semi-making out women left rolling around on the ground. "What a shame~..." the snow furred kitsune says melodramatically, raising the back of a hand to her forehead, "I
suppose
I shall have to wait another day to give my dears one more kiss before my departure since they are too engaged with themselves... Oh well, it can't be hel-"
Akiko's giggles are heard between smacking's of lips as both Gerra and Samantha rise from their outdoor exhibition and greedily plant kisses on Akiko's lips and cheeks. "Alright, alright~!" Akiko says in a delighted tone as she gets them to calm down briefly, her six tails ferociously waving happily behind her, "You two are
adorable~
. Good luck tonight, Samantha~.
Do
try to go easy on her, dear, I legitimately need assistance tomorrow."
"Of course, Madam~. I'll make sure she's still up with the sun and ready to go before I send her off to ya~. Speaking of..." Gerra says with a hungry flick of eyes toward Sam, the woman in question merely hanging her head in defeat as she extends her hand which Gerra eagerly takes in hers. "
Good girl~
. Let's get to a proper room and sort out the remainder of this little tussle like women, eh?"
Good lord
. I can feel the small river that's starting to seep down my thigh at the sheer horniness I am witnessing. It's especially nice seeing Sam, who's typically so dominant with me, be so cowed. I hope this doesn't unlock anything in me... The two love birds saunter past my still blushing expression and Jun Li's knowing grin, giving us little waves as they walk out of the kitchen's door and down the hallway to some room to continue their exploits.
"Those two are always such a
delightful
handful, and now they will be having handfuls of themselves~." The gentle voice of Akiko laughs out with a hand hidden chuckle before looking back toward the last two remaining in the group, "Well, as much as it pains me, I really should be returning. I love you both, and don't stay up too late, Amelia~." Akiko says with one last hug given to both myself and Miss J before she slips out of the courtyard and eventually the kitchens to return to the Sect Hall. I'm not sure what she meant by that last line, but as I turn to Jun Li to wish her good night, I see her staring at me with sheepish, wanting eyes that make my heart skip a beat.
"I-I know you had said that you were ready to begin deepening your relationships with us, and that Samantha was merely the first such example of your growing acceptance. Is that... Do you still hold that as your opinion, Miss Amelia?" She asks out cautiously, her rosy cheeks nearly as vibrant as mine if the lava-like heat on my face is any indication.
I stutter out as my racing heart starts to climb into my chest, the sudden blanket of rose tinted tension settling on the scene between us as I hold her gaze and swallow a rising ball of nervousness, "Y-yeah. It is. I'm done trying to hide or shy away from how I feel about you, all of you. It wasn't fair to any of us, and even though it wasn't malicious - I just needed time - I'm not going to let that happen anymore. Do... Do you want to-?"
I don't even finish the sentence as the tall, beautiful, black haired and red eyed kitsune lunges for me, lifting me up in a loving hug as our lips tie and mesh together with the orchestra of moans and sighs filling the cool night air. Starlight dances across both of our skins as I hook my legs around her waist and dive headfirst into the vibrant pink wave of lust that I have been denying myself for far,
far
too long.
