“Keep your eyes closed, Zahra.” The command reached me just as I was about to open them. “Good girl. Now drop your hips—slowly—until you’re riding Lumi’s mouth.”
Oh, fuck. I could envision how this was going to happen. I'd be at Lumi’s mercy while having a face full of her pussy and simultaneously finger-fucking Sari until she was satisfied.
Yeah. It was hot as fuck. It was also obvious that I thought so as Lumi latched onto me again, then drew back long enough to purr, “Nailed it, Sari.” Then dove back in and nailed me with her tongue.
Sari laughed, a low, rippling, sensual sound that danced across my skin like a thousand fingers. My left hand jerked, catching her hard. “Fuck, yes,” she hissed and started riding my hand. Where before I’d been doing most of the work, now she was doing a lot of it. Not only did I have to keep up, but I also had to spur her on. I’m pretty sure my fingers ended up doing things they weren’t usually capable of, but damn if she wasn’t going wild.
“Fuck, yes! Gonna cum, Zahra. Gonna cum all over those long, talented fingers of yours.”
She covered my hand and wrist with her slick juices as she came hard. Her motions became jerky as she rode out the aftershocks, my fingers still moving on and in her since she hadn’t told me to stop. “Such a good girl,” she crooned as she came down. “You can stop moving your fingers but leave them where they are.” She tightened around me a final time then directed, “Now get Lumi off. Use your right hand and your mouth.”
I drew my right hand out from under Sari, dragging my fingers through her wet folds as I did. The combined scents of the two women were heavy in my nostrils as I worked Lumi over with my mouth and hand. She was close—all the play plus having me at their mercy had turned her on even more than earlier.
“She’s close, isn’t she, Zahra?” I hummed against Lumi in reply. She bucked under me as the vibrations went straight through her overly-sensitized clit. “Mmm, yes, I see that she is.” Sari leaned down and murmured to me, “Take her over twice. No break in between. Once she hits her first peak, drive her hard over the second.”
Whoa. All righty, then. I hummed against Lumi again. My lips vibrated against her clit as I teased her soaking wet opening with my fingers then plunged back in. A quick crook once they were inside set them to rub her sweet spot with every movement.
She tried to writhe under me, but our position kept her pinned. I opened my mouth on her and dragged my tongue down until it reached my fingers, then did a quick switch and tongue-fucked her while my fingers rode her clit mercilessly. Right when she started to quiver, I switched again, slamming two fingers into her and flicking her clit with my tongue. She came hard, her cries muffled by my pussy.
I kept pushing her as Sari had ordered, giving her no quarter. She bucked under me, riding my hand and mouth helplessly even as she tried to get away from them. I hummed against her clit again, open-mouthed this time, and then caught it between my teeth as I withdrew my fingers then slammed them back into her, deep and hard, until I'd buried all three knuckles. She shattered again, screaming against me as she came.
“Don’t stop, Lumi!” Sari’s whip-crack command rang through the bedroom. I wasn’t sure if she meant for Lumi to keep eating me out, keep cumming, or both. A hand touching mine on Lumi’s pussy then sliding down answered part of the question, with Lumi’s muffled wail capping it. “Keep working her, Zahra. Find my rhythm.”
What...? OH! Holy shit. I figured out what Sari was doing. We fell into sync naturally, driving Lumi to climax yet again. This time when she screamed, it wasn’t against me.
“Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck...I’m cumming, oh gods, I can’t stop! Fuuuuuuuck!”
“Lift your head, Zahra!” Sari’s order came just in time, as Lumi squirted over us. She lay there quivering, aftershocks traveling through her body as she tried to recover. Sari withdrew from her, stroking her with her other hand as she brought her down gently. “Now it’s your turn, Zahra.”
“I want to watch, Sari.” Lumi’s weak voice came from beneath me. “I’d help, but, just a little weak and shaky right now.”
Sari chuckled sensually. “Zahra, you may remove your hands from their current positions and shift to Lumi’s side. You may also open your eyes to see where you’re going. Once you’re beside her, lie down on your back with your legs spread wide and your arms over your head on the bed, hands clasped together.”
My legs still shook from Lumi’s extended play, so it was a slow process to get untangled from her. Once I was in position, Sari moved in. “Lumi, if and when you feel ready you may join me.” Lumi’s eyes flashed with greedy hunger as she watched Sari start to play me like the Master she was.
It wasn’t long before Sari had me at a fever pitch. She refused to let me go over, though, and brought me back down each time I was ready to climax. “Not yet, Zahra.” The dark threat in her voice added to the rush of sensations crashing through me.
I lost all sense of time passing as she pushed me a little higher each time—all I knew was the exquisite torture of her hands and mouth wringing sensations from me that I’d never felt before. Just as I hit my highest peak yet, Lumi’s hands squeezed my breasts and her tongue dueled with mine as she locked us into a passion-driven kiss that went on until I couldn’t breathe. Sari picked that instant to send me flying.
I tore my lips away from Lumi’s, inhaled raggedly, then screamed as my entire body convulsed in ecstasy. I was only vaguely aware of hands and mouths on me, drawing out my orgasm as voices encouraged me to ride it, to take it all, and reach for more. The waves kept crashing over me, getting stronger instead of weaker.
“Don’t fight it, Zahra. Ride it...let it take you. Good girl.”
Sari’s calm voice and crooning approval kept me from panicking as the maelstrom engulfing my body and senses peaked then slowly started to subside. I became aware of gentle hands stroking me soothingly and soft murmurs of encouragement. When I finally lay there quietly with only the occasional tremor from an aftershock rippling through me, Sari spoke.
“How do you feel?”
“Boneless. Weak. Euphoric. Also...strange.”
“Strange in what way?”
I thought for a moment as I tried to put it into words. “As though I sense so much more, now. Although I’m not entirely sure what or how.”
Right after I finished speaking, I felt a wave of approval wash over me. It wasn’t my emotion—I somehow knew it came from an outside source. I noticed Sari watching me closely.
“Was that...was that you?” I unconsciously frowned as I tried to figure out what happened.
“Was what, me?”
“That feeling of approval.”
She shrugged noncommittally, but I felt another wave of approval. “An intense orgasm—or more accurately, series of intense orgasms—like the ones you just experienced have been known to temporarily expand the senses.”
There was more she didn't say. I felt it, but I was too tired and blissed out to push the issue.
Lumi changed the topic. “I hate to bring the mundane into the afterglow, but don’t we have a hell of a mess to deal with before the mattress is ruined?”
Sari smiled. “The mattress will be fine. It has a waterproof cover. The bedding does need to be changed, though, otherwise it’s going to be uncomfortable as hell to sleep tonight.” She tilted her head thoughtfully. “Or, we could move to a different room.”
“Not sure I could move that far.” A sudden yawn punctuated my reply.
“Me, neither,” Lumi agreed.
Sari had a rather wicked twinkle in her eyes. “If I left either of you able to stand up and walk right now, then there’s no point in stripping the bed just yet because I’d have to keep going.”
I gulped. “Nope, I’m good. One boneless puddle of flesh right here, thanks.” I tried to lift a hand to gesture, but it flopped back to the bed after lifting only an inch or two into the air.
Lumi snorted. “You know damn well I can’t take more than one or tw
o shaky steps right now, Sari, so don’t threaten me with more of a mind-blowing good time.”
Sari just smiled. “You need to make it over there, Lumi,” she nodded to one of the chairs in the sitting area as she stood, “but I’ll help you. Scoot over to the edge of the bed.”
Lumi managed to wriggle and roll her way to the edge, then swung her legs down and tried to stand. “Whoa.” Her legs wobbled. Sari caught her with an arm around her waist, then pulled Lumi’s other arm over her shoulders. She slowly walked her over to the chair and helped her sit. Then Sari came back over to the bed.
“Can you slide this way a little more, Zahra?”
I managed to get closer but had no real strength to do anything more. It was close enough for Sari to maneuver me right over to the edge.
“Here we go. Ready?” The next thing I knew, this petite woman—she might’ve been all of five-foot-five—had carried me over to the other chair and put me down.
“What?” The stunned expression on my face made Lumi giggle.
Sari efficiently stripped the soaked and tangled bedding off the mattress and dumped it into a small cubby that made a whooshing sound as she opened the door which concealed it. Then she pulled fresh linen from a closet next to it. It was a matter of minutes for her to remake the bed. That same smooth economy of motion I’d seen while sparring with her was very much in evidence here as well.
When she finished, she walked over and pulled me up from the chair. I tried to take a step, but my legs buckled under me. She scooped me up, carried me to the bed, and gently laid me down. Then she went back and helped Lumi up.
Lumi wobbled a bit as she tried to walk, so Sari picked her up, too. “Here, or your room, Lumi?”
Lumi flicked a glance at me. I tapped a finger on the bed. “Here is good, Sari,” Lumi answered.
After the two of us were in bed, Sari looked at us, started to speak, then hesitated. I patted the bed. “You’re more than welcome to stay, Sari.” She nodded, then slid in next to me.
Once we were all comfortably tucked in, I fell into a light doze. Lumi squirmed closer to my back, seeking contact as she fell asleep. I was facing Sari, one arm curled up under my pillow, and the other against me with my hand tucked under my chin. Just as I succumbed to deep sleep, I heard her murmur, almost inaudibly, “Sleep well, Zahra. Tomorrow will bring many changes.”
Chapter Twenty-Four
Zahra
WHEN I WOKE THE NEXT morning, Sari was gone. Lumi cuddled against my back as her hand idly played with one of my tits. Interestingly, it didn’t feel like she wanted to instigate playtime, merely that she enjoyed the contact. Now that I was awake, I enjoyed it, too.
“Good morning to you, too, Lumi.” My voice was deeper than usual and still gravelly from sleep, although my amusement at waking up to this situation came through.
“Good morning, Zahra.” She dropped a quick kiss on my shoulder as she cupped my breast and tweaked my nipple. Then she pulled her hand away and wriggled back far enough to sit up.
I turned over to face her, taking a moment to appreciate the sight of her toned midriff, plump breasts with pink nipples, and classically beautiful face—all topped by a tumble of long blonde curls currently rocking the style known as “bedhead.” I chuckled and gently tugged one. “Love the style, Lumi. Bedhead looks good on you.”
She playfully swatted my hand away and mock-pouted. “Be nice, or I won’t tell Sari you’re awake to use the hot springs.”
I rolled back over and sat up on the other side of the bed, pushing my hair out of my face before I stood and stretched, my spine popping as I did. Walking around the bed, I tugged her out of it. “I was being nice. Those sleep-tousled curls from last night’s hairstyle look cute on you.” I threaded my hand into her hair but stopped as I felt a twinge of arousal go through me. It wasn’t mine. As much as I appreciated the vision in front of me, I was nowhere close to that state. That meant...
“Lumi?” I spoke slowly, carefully picking my words from the sudden jumble my thoughts had become. “Are you...did I just start to turn you on by doing that?”
“Well, of course! You know what having my hair tugged and played with does to me.” She stopped when she saw the look on my face. “Wait a minute. That’s not what you’re asking, is it?” Her eyes widened. “Did you...”
“Experience a reaction that wasn’t mine, just now? I think so.”
“Explain.”
“When I threaded my hand into your hair, I felt a twinge of arousal go through me. It wasn’t my reaction, Lumi—that much, I’m one hundred percent sure of.”
Lumi’s expression turned very thoughtful.
I removed my hand from her hair then walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind me. I took care of business, then grabbed the robe hung on the back of the door and shrugged it on. I walked out into the bedroom as I was tying the belt.
Lumi pouted a little then grabbed her robe and put it on. “All business and no play this morning, eh?” She didn’t seem upset, though. It felt more like she was gently teasing me.
“You’ve only yourself to blame for the no play part, you know. You did say hot springs.”
“Yes, I did.” She laughed and pushed her tumble of curls away from her face. “Now I remember why I usually leave my hair straight. This mess gets annoying, fast.” She sauntered toward the door while doing something with her wrist holo. “Sari will meet us in the hall.”
We stepped into the hallway and headed toward the door that led to the hot springs. Sari came up behind us just as we reached it.
“Good morning, ladies. I trust you slept well?” Her smile was warm as she glanced between us.
“Quite well, thank you, Sari.”
“Like a rock,” Lumi added. “Best night of sleep I’ve had in quite some time.”
Sari winked before moving between us to place her hand on the darker-colored square beside the door. “I won’t be able to join you this morning, but you’re welcome to soak as long as you wish. Zahra, I’d appreciate it if you’d stay here until it’s time for your fitting. There are some things we need to discuss. Lumi, you’re welcome to stay as well.”
I mentally reviewed my schedule. “I don’t have anything scheduled before my fitting, so I should be able to stay.”
“Good. Oh, don’t worry about wearing your armor while you’re in the house. No point since you’ve got the fitting for the last set coming up. Once that’s done you can pick which one you want to wear when you leave.”
Sari glanced at Lumi. “What does your day look like?”
Lumi shook her head. “I have a few things I need to do later this morning and afternoon, so I won’t be able to stay.”
“Very well. I’ll leave you two to soak. Lumi, when you’re ready to leave, the main entrance hallway to the right of the living room leads directly to the street on the other side of the house. You don’t need to go through the shop.” Sari walked away as Lumi and I went through the door into the natural cave with the hot springs.
WE CHOSE ONE OF THE smaller and hotter pools to soak in. Once we'd settled in it, Lumi broke the silence.
“How are you handling what happened at the Fête?”
“Which part? The fighting, Speaker Aerind tapping me to work with you, Sari, and him, or the rest of what went on?”
Lumi chuckled. “All of it, I suppose. Let’s start with Aerind, though.”
I noticed that she referred to him informally but didn’t ask why. “As I recall, you’re supposed to tell me what’s going on with that. So, spill.”
Lumi paused to gather her thoughts. “Before I get into what’s going on, there are a few practical details you should know. Now that Aerind has added you to the team, you’ll receive a regular stipend. It’s meant to cover any expenses you incur—travel, supplies, time away from any other paying ventures, that kind of stuff—while working for him. In addition to that, you’ll get another set of Sari’s custom armor. We’ve nicknamed it the stealth armor, due to its colori
ng and ability to help us blend into shadows and dark places.” She snickered. “Ask Sari or Aerind about the story behind the nickname. It’s a good laugh.”
I shifted in my seat, water rippling out from my spot as I waited for her to continue.
“As for why he added you to the team... The easy answer is because you’re involved with the situation. You overheard at least a portion of their plans, so you have direct intel versus second- or even thirdhand versions of it. Since you’re both a high-value target and an asset, it makes sense for you to be part of the team that's working to neutralize the threat.”
She held up a hand. “I don’t mean play bait or be used for your potential powers. I mean because the plans to overthrow the Tetrarchy will have far-reaching consequences if we can’t stop them, and because you’ve already encountered pieces of the puzzle and have a sharp mind that can help us figure out the big picture. The rest...well, you’d need some degree of protection even if you were at full potential because everyone has to sleep or go places.” She shrugged. “In that situation, it’s better to be part of a team than fly solo.”
She paused for a quick breath. “On the purely personal side, now my loyalties won’t conflict with each other if it comes to a choice between safeguarding you and doing what Aerind needs.”
That reminded me of something I’d meant to ask. “Lumi, the gown and other sets of armor—”
“Were a gift,” she interrupted. “Tetrarchy business aside, I want you to stay alive and unharmed. Sari is the best in the business, so I went to her. The Fête gave me a good excuse to give you the armor without you asking too many questions. Cost was not a factor, although if you’re wondering, I can easily afford it. Between what I’ve made in stipends over the years, the family legacy, and backing Sari as one of her early silent partners, I have enough assets squirreled away in various places to fund a small war if need be.” She winked.
I snorted. “Well, look at me, hanging out with the rich, famous, and hopefully not war-inclined.”
