“That is amazing, it is like a drug almost because what happened on this side of the trance. I have no recollection of it and it is probably best you were with me when I did it. Who knows what would have happened if I were alone.” Mathius rubbed her back reassuringly and she leaned into his touch, yet again.
“Who do you think the man was?” Now that she was calm, he seemed to be sticking on the one things that had her unsettled.
“I’m not sure, but he definitely spooked my mom. She snatched me up faster than any other time I remember. She usually just bribed me to leave happy. That time, she didn’t care if I wanted to leave or not. Then the man disappeared just as quickly.” Rubbing her own arms, she felt a ghostly chill run through her.
“Let’s get you something to drink. Another festival must-have, is our famous mead. We spend all year preparing it just for this holiday alone. The only time anyone is allowed to drink it is this time every year. He stopped at the next vendor with no line, “I need two glasses, please.” Turning back to Aggie, “Each vendor has this, that is how popular it is.” He paid the vendor again and handed Aggie her mug.
Taking her first sip, Aggie sighed, “This is perfect.” It was sweet and light and Mathius was right, just what she needed. “Ok, let’s keep going, I’m sure we still have lots to see.”
They walked what felt like miles, but Aggie didn’t complain once. It was the last thing she could think of when there was so much to see. They ate from the outdoor feast and Aggie tried many more things she wouldn’t have normally. Most she didn’t even remember the name of but it didn’t matter. As night approached fires were lit around the town. Not small torches, but complete bonfires, blazing high and lighting everything without any effort. They had their mugs filled every time they were emptied. Walking along Aggie felt a bit tipsy, but she burned it off quickly with their walking and she had plenty of food as they went along.
“This is my favorite part.” Mathius cryptically pointed toward the shoreline. The mountains off in the distance reflected from the firelight onto the water. “You have to come down by the water. You won’t regret this, I promise.” There were many already standing between them and the water, but they parted when they saw Mathius. He was a bit of a household name it seemed. He took her right to the edge of the lapping water and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind her.
The view was breathtaking and Aggie knew she wouldn’t soon forget this night. Then just as the bell chimed in town, signifying midnight, something leapt from the water. Aggie flinched but Mathius held her tightly. She looked closer and realized there were some sort of demons in the water. They were throwing something from the water toward the shore. Then she saw the first ones break the shoreline and a rainbow band of sorts started spinning quickly around one bystanders. Soon there were lights flying from every direction and more and more rainbows were spinning around. Then one came out and wrapped up Mathius and Aggie. She got lost in the colors that spun around them. Dizzy, she fell backwards and was thankful for Mathius’s embrace.

“Did I tell you the other most common thing during the festival?” Mathius and Aggie were walking back to the castle after taking in everything and then some of the town. Aggie glanced up at him, she clung to his arm as the roads were more difficult to travel at night. “Celebrations of fertility.” He dropped the words like a bomb and left them to sizzle.
“Now that sounds intriguing, considering I’m only just coming into my fertile years as I’ve been told. Why shouldn’t I celebrate them?” Aggie felt a sense of freedom with Mathius. She knew he would be the person who would give it to her straight and be a friend and lover. They might butt heads, but that would likely end in a vigorous session of makeup sex. Not to mention, she had so much food and wine to work off it was surprising he wasn’t having to roll her back to the castle. “Yes, I think we should look further into the celebration.” Aggie chose to sound very scientific and matter-of-fact. As though she were performing research for an upcoming project, perhaps she was.
Walking down the hallway, they got to Aggie’s room. “Did you know Liel had my room fixed back up to it’s original stature? I was so surprised, it was a thoughtful thing to do. I’m so happy to have my own space.” She wrapped her hand around the handle and they walked inside. She was still enthralled by the beauty that was her room, she was surprised when Mathius came up behind her and pressed his lips to her neck. Leaning her neck away, she gave him more access. It was the prefect pressure and made her skin tingle at the contact. A moan escaped and her breathing increased.
“I’ll have you doing more than moaning before we are finished.” Mathius’s promise had Aggie hanging on his every word. After the day they’d had it was the perfect ending to a long day. Their date was more than she could have asked for.
“I want anything and everything you want to give me.” Turning in his arms she sealed her lips over his, but he immediately gripped her arms and pulled her from him. Her eyes widened and she didn’t understand what was happening. “What’s wrong?”
“I told you earlier, this is my domain. No matter where it takes place, I’m in charge. You will follow my lead. If you can’t listen, I will restrain you. I will never go farther than you are willing, you can always stop me with a single word, you have to pick it though.” Mathius stroked his fingers through her hair, never breaking contact with her.
“A word,” Aggie couldn’t think straight. She knew it had to be a word that wouldn’t come up during the course of their interactions. “Porcupine.” The word was blurted out without much thought. Then she covered her mouth in shock. “I don’t know where that came from.”
“I think it is perfect. It is the word that came up in your head, in the moment. You shouldn’t accidently say it when you don’t mean it, but you won’t forget it either.” Mathius gripped her shoulders and backed her to the edge of the bed. Slipping her right strap down, he kissed his way down her collar bone, the strap trapped her range of motion, but he didn’t lower it any further. Matching the motion on the other side, she was successfully confined. One tiny push and she fell back on the bed with a little bounce.
Mathius ran his hands slowly up both of her bare legs until he reached her core. He dipped his fingers under the seam and gently pulled the fabric down over her legs. Again, he stopped short, at her knees, effectively trapping her again.
“Now you are going to be at my mercy, do you have anything to say before I proceed to bring your evening to a perfect ending?” Mathius was very sure of himself and she only hoped he could live up to his own praise.
“I suppose you better get busy or you might not have enough time at this rate.” Winking at him she simply raised her dress a bit higher, exposing her intimate center.
With a roguish smile, Mathius knelt down and kissed her inner thigh on each side, effectively avoiding where she wanted him. When she lifted her hips to encourage him, he pressed her back down. “Now, now if I have to get a stronger restraint, I am more than willing.” When she said nothing, he proceeded to trail his fingers over her hips lightly and ran one finger down her seam separating the lips there slightly. “That is a beautiful pussy and I can’t wait any longer to taste it. With his lips still apart, Mathius licked the length of it and crooned his approval at the taste of her. His slight scruff was just the right amount of pressure mixed with the vibration of his voice for her to want to press further into him for the full effect. She fought the urge and attempted to do as she was told and stay still.
“I will also request that you refrain from climaxing until I give you permission.” Aggie moved to speak but he held her in place and place a finger of his free hand over her lips to silence her. “Don’t worry it will be better for it and I won’t put you through anything I don’t know you can handle.” He then sucked her pulsing bud into his mouth and alternated with his tongue inside her. She was practically writhing on the bed and it took all she could not to move. He gave her a little movement and for that she wa
s grateful. He must have realized how much effort she was putting into following instructions and gave her some much-needed grace. When she thought she couldn’t take anymore, she started to speak, but he sensed her impending reaction.
“Just a moment longer,” He pumped a second finger in and curled them forward hitting the sensitive spot deep inside, “Now!” Aggie needed no further instruction and she exploded as soon as the word left his lips. The orgasm took a few minutes to come down off of as her body still twitched and spasmed its reward.
“See I told you, that you would be fine.” Mathius’s words came from a distance, as she came back to her body as her mind and body became one again, from the fierce reaction.
“Wow, that was amazing. I have never done that before and I didn’t think I would make it.” Her words came out breathy, as she felt like she had held her breath forever as she came.
“That is just the beginning.” Aggie had yet to catch a glimpse of his cock, and he hadn’t pressed it against her, when their escapades began. Staying far from her while he prepared her body, she had no idea what she was in for but given the size of the bulge she could see as he stood up, she was in for a treat. Unfastening his pants, she itched to help him along. She was still mostly clothed. Having not put on a bra she only wore the light fabric of the dress she designed. He was still removing his own clothes but left hers alone. Just before he removed his underwear, he leaned forward onto the bed and sealed his mouth over one of her covered breasts soaking the fabric beneath and her pert nipple stood at attention through the now sheer fabric of her dress. He repeated the process on the other side, but bit down slightly before releasing. Aggie squeaked at the shock, but he silenced her with a deep passionate kiss. She knew he was a man of layers and this only proved it.
Their tongues wrestled, but she didn’t try to take over the kiss. Instead, Aggie submitted and left that for Mathius to control and direct. It was his plan and his time to unfold them as he saw fit. When he broke the kiss, Aggie was panting. The bulge in his underwear was straining. As he removed them Aggie’s breath caught. He was bigger than Eldon, but she didn’t care. It wasn’t about comparison and all about how the man wielded his sword.
Fingers itching to grip his cock and feel it in her hands, she wished she wasn’t trapped. Also, she didn’t want him to be upset with her, so she stayed as still as she could. Though she felt her body shaking with anticipation. Lining himself up with her, he leaned forward and toyed with her nipples under the wet fabric.
“I think I like this dress even more on you. It was the perfect choice of the evening.” He gripped her breasts one last time before sinking deeply inside of her. All coherent thoughts were gone at that point. All Aggie could think about was how deep and full she felt. He didn’t stay still for long and for that she was grateful. She needed him to move as she adjusted to him. The feel of his cock pressed against her walls and she moaned loudly. Her second climax would come quickly at this rate.
“Remember, not until I say.” His words were enunciated after each with a plunge deeply with his dick. She screamed the punctuation for him. The way he worked inside her was perfect and just what she needed. With each pump of his cock, she felt all of her tension leave and any stresses of the day were drifting away. He knew just what she needed and how to bring out of her what he needed. “You are going to feel every inch of me and one day I will open you up to things you’ve never dreamed of in your life.” Aggie stiffened at his words and bit her lip, all in an effort to control herself. He knew every string to pluck and could play her like an instrument. “You think you can’t take it?”
She shook her head because she didn’t trust her words. With that he reached between her and pressed down on her clit, “Come now!” The tenor of his voice dropped low and demanding and she cried out her pleasure. If it weren’t for the soundproofing she knew was in the walls, it would have been likely the entire town of Ahael heard her. Unfortunately, she was sure that the guys were well aware of her activities. Sadly, she was in such a state she didn’t even care. They would handle themselves in one way or another. Mathius groaned and spilled his release into her a moment later and she was completely sated.
“That was just what I needed.” Aggie said barely above a whisper and still very winded. Mathius pulled out after a moment and helped her to the top of the bed. Wrapping his arms around her they promptly fell asleep. Their lovemaking on top of their already busy day had worn them out.
*****
The light poured through the window the following morning and Aggie stretched slowly in bed. Her bedroom playtime the previous night ran on a loop in her mind and the soreness of her body was a pleasant reminder. Aggie rolled over and bumped into something solid. When her eyes made it to the top of the bed, she quickly realized Mathius had stayed the night.
Perfectly ready to get her fill of him and take over her side of things that she missed out on the night before, Aggie made her way under the covers to find a still very naked man laying there. She gripped him under the sheets and she felt him grow in her hand. He moaned his approval and flexed his hips. Just as Aggie was about to seal her mouth over his erect cock, her hands disappeared and she felt her entire body go limp. A moment later, she was standing alone in the hallway.
“What the hell just happened?”
