Walking Disasters and Me-Honesty – Ch 72

Walking Disasters and Me-Honesty – Ch 72

The rest of dinner goes by smoothly, full of laughs and small talk between all of us, or the occasional beat of silence that feels easy and light. As we're nearing the end of the meal, I find that Gerra's purring head lays in my lap as I stroke her hair and ears while I rest against the beyond comfy form of Jun Li, one of her arms draped around my shoulders for support as I lay against her. The periodic swishes of pink that Gerra's flicking tail provide in her apparently comfortable position, as well as the occasional stroke or touch of Jun Li's black ones against my arm or on top of my head further threaten to send me off to paradise~.
I slightly open one eye to see how the others are faring, and unsurprisingly they are all watching the little snuggle fest with amused expressions, Akiko especially if the rapidly waving fluffs of snow white fur are any indication. It really is precious to see this side of her so much, and the nearly palpable feeling of joy that radiates off her when any of us are affectionate with each other. I'm glad that she found me, in more ways than one.
Eventually, Sam starts the process of clearing the table, even physically getting up to grab everyone's plates and cups. A thought occurs to me, and as she gets closer I whisper to her in an effort to not disturb Gerra, "Why don't you store everything in a ring or something and then move them to the washing station inside?"
Samantha turns to me and smiles as she quietly says back, "I could, and have many times out on mission or if I was eating on my own for some reason or another. But, performing the act helps build and strengthen the bonds we share, at least for me. I'm sure Gerra feels the same, as she could just as easily place the food in her ring and then distribute it to us once we are all seated. Think of it as participating in a play that is only meant for us, and that we all cherish to take part in when we can."
Huh, I guess that makes sense. Come to think of it, I'm sure they could all be doing things in a much more optimized way, so to speak, but still tend to stick to manual methods when they can. I nod to her, satisfied in the answer as she gives me a wink and then continues on back into the kitchens to deposit her gathered trophies. Seeing the night slowly coming to an end, my mind can't help but start to think about diving in and trying to heal Sandra for real this time. The apprehension and anxiety must bleed through me, because my leg starts rocking which wakes up Gerra who gives me quite the displeased look for a moment.
I smile apologetically, rubbing my fingers against the hem of one of her soft ears as I say, "Sorry Gerra, I just got wrapped up in my head for a second. Looks like Samantha took care of the clean up, so I think you were about to get woken up anyway~." She mumbles a bit before nuzzling into my hand that's petting her, making me chuckle at the very similar reactions to cats I had growing up. Of course, I know she's a real person and all, but it is kind of funny to see.
Akiko speaks up from the head of the table, standing up to her full, gorgeous glory as she does, "I'm afraid that young Amelia is correct, my dears. I have the assumption that she wishes to sit down and truly begin the effort of healing her sister, and we have various things to address and concern ourselves with as well. Unless you three wanted another session together like last night~?"
I feel Jun Li gulp, and I turn my head up so that I see her upside down in my vision, her face a mixture of lust and desire as she nods her head rapidly and says, "I-I would not be opposed~! Any night shared together with the group is always so..." She looks down to see my knowing smile, topsy-turvy as it is, before she continues, "Exhilarating...
*Ahem*
If the others are too preoccupied, I would not mind a more individual meeting as well~."
Wow, props to Jun Li. I hope one day I can be as forward and confident while still looking absolutely frazzled and flustered at the same time~. Her cheeks are stained rosy red with a deep and filling blush, and I swear that I see literal heart eyes in her usually slitted vulpine pupils, while her ears and tails are wiggling up a storm.
Samantha butts in, having returned from the kitchen with her quarry delivered, "I am also open to having some personal time together~. Although I think Gerra may have gotten too deep in her cups to join us."
I look from the stunning blonde to the now passed out again cat woman, wondering how and when she managed to curl up into a little ball perfectly on the table bench and knock out once more. Also, I don't even remember seeing her drink that much, and we were sitting right next to each other... "Is Gerra a light weight?" I ask curiously to the group which makes Samantha and Akiko nearly double over in laughter while Jun Li reaches over to pat my head.
"No, my dear," Her river of a voice says, "She is quite the contender in challenges of drink and such, but it seems she broke out the aged wine tonight which
is
quite the powerful liquor. Which is also why you didn't receive anything harder than the mortal made bottle of spirit that Gerra also procured in her travels today. Until you advance more in your cultivation journey, we thought it best to...
limit
your exposure to the substance. Given how you reacted both times to it."
I pout heavily at being preemptively cut off from the best alcohol I've ever had in my life, my frustration coming out in a huff that makes Jun Li wrap me up in a hug. Which is totally cheating, by the way. How the
fuck
can I stay mad and upset when her massive chest is pressed into me all
warm
and
pleasant
like?! Not fair at
all!!
I huff out again, doing my best to dodge a couple more head pat attempts before she finally succeeds, her wonderfully pointed nails digging in
just
right against my scalp to make me melt.
I hear Akiko's voice off to the side, my eyes firmly closing in the delightful ministrations of the scalp massage as I melt into Jun Li, "I am sorry, my dear. I should have told you sooner about that arrangement but rest assured. When you grow strong enough to resist and enjoy its effects, we will all have quite the unrestrained celebration with you~. Now, if you are done attempting to bodily merge into dear sweet Jun Li, I believe you have a certain task awaiting you~."
I groan out audibly, not really wanting to relinquish this spectacular sensation and position~. But, like always, Akiko is right and I know I need to get to work, as well as let the girls have their fun too.
"Fiiine!
Thanks for the scritches Miss J, and the comfy pillow~.
Definitely
have to do this again sometime!" Jun Li giggles as she helps me up, Sam coming over to give her a quick peck on the cheek and little grab of her ass which makes her gasp slightly. Alright, thats a cue if I've ever seen one!
"You crazy kids have fun~! I'll see you in the morning Aki!" I say as I begin to move toward the doors. As I'm maneuvering around, I feel a hand grab at me as I round the end of the table, startling me slightly as I look down and see the still noticeably drunk face of Gerra looking up to me from her curled up spot. "Do you needsh someone to walk you to your room, little bird~? I can tuck you in
alllll
nice
and
tight
too~." Oh
lord
. I blush heavily at the very obviously horny woman as she licks her lips and locks her hazy eyes to mine in a predatory stare, her pink tail whipping in the air like she has cornered her prey.
I stammer a bit, not really coming up with an answer as thoughts of her following through on that offer start to invade me, like lustful, wicked, and wonderful fireworks shot off into the night sky of my flustered mind. Thankfully, Akiko comes up beside me and gently picks Gerra up. "If you are that
eager
for attention, Gerra, then allow me to
fulfill
your needs~. Let us leave young Amelia to approach when she is ready to,
hmm?"
I hear a slight whine from Gerra's mouth before it is locked in a near violent kiss by Akiko, their lips smacking and slipping together, teeth biting down on the soft pink flesh, as their tongues roll around and fight for dominance. Unsurprisingly, Gerra folds like a house of cards in a few moments, her form going limp against the massive chest of Akiko as she holds her up in her arms.
"Much better~."
Akiko says huskily as my knees knock together. She turns to me and gives a smile somewhere between lust and apology, her voice still low and full of want as she says, "I apologize, my dear. Perhaps it is best if you venture back to your room on your own, as it looks like all three of these naughty girls are in need of some
attention~."
I shakily look over to see the hands of both Jun Li and Sam slipping between each other's legs as they watch on, looks of absolute
hunger
laced in their eyes. I know, in that instant, that if I don't move I am going to be eaten alive in the best
fucking
way possible.
Literally
. I gulp, swallowing down my own growing beads of lust as I nod my head rapidly and make a quick escape, nearly halfway to my room in the blink of an eye thanks to the new Dexterity. I run the rest of the distance, opening and then closing the door hastily behind me and activating the privacy enchantment.
As soon as it flares to life, I slide down the wall and hold a hand both to my chest, and the other down between my slickening wet thighs. "
Jesus Christ
, that was... that was..."
Ios' form pops into view, this time in tasteful pajamas that still leave some flesh showing here and there, especially her firm and ample cleavage. "Yeah~?
What was it Aims?"
She says as she leans over me, nearly far enough so that I can almost look down her shirt to the no doubt sublime treasure it hides. I moan a little, my fingers threatening to forgo any instruction and just slip their way inside, desperate to quell the growing fire below my stomach.
I shy away from the amazing sight of Ios, my face - hell, the entire top half of my body by this point - covered in the maroon glow of arousal. I breathe out, speaking before really thinking as I answer her question in a daze, "That was
hot
..."
She giggles a little as she stands up and floats back to the table, sitting her hologram in one of the chairs as she waves me over. I honestly debate just taking care of myself then and there, not giving a fuck if she watches me do it with how bad I'm burning up right now. "You know," Her voice calls out to me, "you
do
technically have that 20% discount on toys and stuff for the shop now~. Want me to take a look at some options for you?"
I bite my lip again as I'm still planted on the floor, my thighs clenching down on the growingly treasonous hand as my mind begins to be subsumed by waves of pink and heat. I don't even notice that a response begins to come from my lips, so clouded and drenched in desire my mind is, "I-I... I never used them after Mary... Too scared to... And even then, I only had a couple vibrators and a wand before she flipped out on me. I wouldn't even know what's good or not..."
I don't hear anything back for a few seconds so I raise my head up, looking at a stunned and slightly bashful Ios with her own blush now. "
Shit
, sorry Aims. I was just trying to tease you a bit, but we can
absolutely
look at some stuff if you want to! I really didn't expect you to go for it, at least not this soon. I guess you were more turned on than I realized...
Sorry
, again."
I sigh, some of the pressure from this growing monster of want being quelled as little drops of clarity feed back into my consciousness. I stand up on wobbly legs, putting a hand to the wall to make sure I'm steady before I slowly walk over and sit next to Ios, plopping down with a small thud. "It's okay, Ios. I... I don't know, I'm not really against it I think. Not
anymore
, really. But it is more just a matter of my inexperience now, like I said. Besides them being expensive for good ones, I just never had a lot of toys for this reason or that."
Ios nods as she opens up a screen in front of us, a screen which ticks on. And on.
And on.
I swallow again; the realization of just how many options are now in my face actually doing more to turn me off to the idea than anything else as the myriad of possibilities overwhelm my still recovering mind. "A bit much, I know." Ios says as she gives me a sympathetic look, "Why don't you tell me what you liked to do and use your old toys for, or what you like doing to yourself when you're alone? I can narrow down the list some."
I shake my head at this whole fucking conversation. Am I really about to dive into my
masturbation habits
with my eldritch, soul-bonded patron just so she can whittle out what sex toys are going to be up my alley? This new life is just
bonkers
, start to finish. I finally swallow my pride, knowing that she
is
trying her best to look out for me and make sure that I'm happy here, including in the bedroom... Yeah, still kind of weird to say...
I sigh, "W-well... the vibrators were nice. I'd usually have one or two taped to my... my nipples... while I used the wand on myself. I was never too into dildos or strap-ons, but honestly that last one may just be because the women wearing them more than the toy itself. Either way... yeah." I shuffle awkwardly in my chair, the heat beginning to bloom once more between my legs as I pointedly avoid Ios' eye contact.
Mercifully, she just responds in a kind voice as she says, "Okay, sweetheart. Do you want to try and find something right now? Or do you want to take a breather, maybe hop in the shower, and then work on Sandra while I get some options laid out for you?"
I finally move my eyes to hers and nearly fall apart for a different reason, seeing the almost suffocating amount of care and love in her eyes, her soft smile, and the genuineness rolling off her illusory form. I really will be in trouble when she gets a body... "Uh... I think I want to get to Sandy asap, as...
arousing
as this whole night has turned out so far. I really want to see what I can do now, with healing her I mean. I know you and Akiko said not to get my hopes up but... but there's still a part of me that just wants to bring her back
right now
, regardless of if I can protect her or not."
The list of saucy toys blinks away as Ios looks at me deeply, her voice still laced with care but with an even gentler tone underneath it, "Want to talk about that, honey? That's the second or third time you mentioned wanting to protect her. I know that heart demon trial was scary,
especially
seeing Sandra get hurt like that and how she was hurt. I'm here for you, if you want to discuss those thoughts and feelings."
I try to hold her gaze, but shamefully I end up looking away as I whisper back to her, my mind roiling and voice laced with a tinge of agony, "I honestly don't know where to even
start
with that, Ios. I let her stay in such a
dangerous
place,
while
she was wounded still and barely even self-aware. And then she took a
bullet
for me, because I was too
scared
to move out of the way when I could have. Then we got all of those points, and my Wisdom lets me stay and heal her longer and with more power, but then you and Akiko told me - and I agreed - that it would be better to
not
take the quicker approach. I just... I feel like a mess, Ios, like I'm
failing
her... And I love you, but I don't think I can talk any more than that on it right now. I'm sorry."
I don't wait for a reply before I stand up and walk to the bathroom, stripping off my robe and underwear on the way. I lean my head against the shower wall, slapping the controls haphazardly until the water finally comes out ice cold. I hiss, and put a bit more attention into what I'm doing, and soon the glacial water is replaced by a stream of magma that soothes my soul to the core. I sigh, resting my head once again as the water cascades down my shoulders, neck and back, sopping my crimson red hair as I stand there.
I mechanically do the work of cleaning myself, my mind too busy with the waterfall of competing emotions to really bother doing anything more than just the basic necessities. Before long, I'm out of the shower, teeth brushed, hair done up in a towel, and naked as a jaybird. Ios doesn't have her hologram out, making me frown slightly. I hope I didn't make her sad or upset that I pushed her away like that, but I just... I don't want to try and tackle that right now, at least not until I can get in a proper session with Sandra. Make sure she at least is fully recovered from the trials.
I sigh as I plop down on my bed, laying there looking up at the ceiling for a bit before I swaddle myself up in a nice little binding and slowly close my eyes. Just when I'm about to settle in and begin meditating, the events and emotions of the day finally leaving me long enough to calm my mind, Ios' voice pops into my head.
'Hey honey. When you get into the trance, stay at the flow model for a second. I got something I want to show you.' I raise a questioning eyebrow, curious to what she could even mean.
Okay, I'll wait for you there.
A few seconds later, and I'm once again looking at the soul like sun, channeled river of void, and faintly glowing moon, all connected and waiting to be lit alight with power. I turn back to the soul piece, memories of the trial playing out in my mind as the rainbow bridge shoots off its torrent of Qi into the distance. I'm about to call out for Ios when I feel four arms wrap around my form gently, and somehow a soft pressing of smooth and pliant flesh weighs down against the top of my form. Surprised by all these
new
and
suddenly
possible sensations in the soul space, I wheel around and see a nearly identical and perfectly detailed avatar of Ios floating next to me, her voice still the usual chirpy high-pitched signature as she leans in and whispers, "
I love you too
, Aims. Now, go heal our girls~."
My vision springs up at the sudden declaration, surprise must be evident from my form here as Ios giggles and puts her hands on her hips, "What?" She says cheekily, "
You
said it
first~
. So its fair game now~!
Hehe~!"
The previous conversation floods into my mind, the only thought coming to the surface from the sudden realization: Oh Heavens...
