Gemma was drowning in paperwork in her study. Despite already spending many hours working, many were still ahead of her. She also needed to contact Tobias ter when he would fall asleep, at least for a moment, to check if he’d found any leads on the boratory.

  The door swung open without a knock, and someone barged in. Only two people were bold enough to do that, and this time, it was Gemma’s lifelong friend.

  “Sage,” Gemma said. “What brings you here so te?” she asked, watching the tall brunette flop into the chair across from her.

  “Wanna guess?” Sage replied, with a pyful smile dancing on her lips as she rested her long legs up on Gemma’s desk.

  “Because I used your contact?” Gemma asked, raising an eyebrow.

  “Nah,” Sage said, waving it off.

  “So?”

  “I wanted to meet even before you contacted Kalista,” Sage said. “I’ve got the news of the millennium. Something unprecedented. A discovery of lost wonders. A-”

  “To the point, Sage,” Gemma interrupted. “I’m too fucking exhausted to py games with you.”

  “Oh?” Sage gasped, suddenly sitting upright and leaning toward Gemma. “You’re tired of pying games? Funny, considering you started this one. It’s called: Will Sage find out about my big secret operation?”

  “I’m not sure what you’re talking about,” Gemma replied calmly.

  “Oh? You want to tell me there’s more than one?” Sage leaned back. “Well then, it’ll be fun to find them all.”

  “What exactly do you think you’ve found out?” Gemma asked.

  Sage sighed. “I’d love to drag it out and tease you about what I know... but unfortunately, your handsome boy isn’t very discreet about his css.”

  Gemma closed her eyes and let out a slow breath. “Please don’t tell me that he told Kalista about it?”

  “Miss!” Sage replied with a smile.

  Gemma tilted her head, watching Sage for a moment. “Tori Maelis,” she muttered.

  “Bingo!” Sage snapped her fingers.

  “She wasn’t working for you when you shared your network with me,” Gemma stated.

  “She’s pretty new and wasn’t very important. Until now,” Sage expined. “I told you, Gem, almost nothing stays hidden from me in this guild.”

  “Well, at least she works for you,” Gemma said.

  “Unfortunately, that’s why I couldn’t tease you about it longer. Tell your handsome boy not to share too much with Tori. She works for me now, but I don’t really trust her. Who knows? She might decide to work for someone else tomorrow.”

  “Thanks, Sage.”

  “So… who is he? How the fuck does he have a css? How did you recruit him? What css does he have? And what the hell is a member of the Succubi royal family doing as his sve? Have you slept with him? Tori said he was pretty good,” Sage asked, one question after another.

  “Didn’t you say nothing can hide from you in this guild?” Gemma asked.

  “I said almost,” Sage replied. “You manage to keep some secrets from me that keep me up at night,” she added, waving toward one of the paintings on the wall of a blonde young girl.

  “Wait!” Sage snapped, suddenly sitting up straight. “Is he-”

  “We’ll talk ter, Sage,” Gemma cut her off. “There are more important matters. I need to contact him, and it seems I won’t be able to hide his presence for long.”

  “Add him to the guild and give him a fancy position. It’ll raise some curiosity, but if you put him close to you, and under your protection, nothing should happen to him.”

  “I hoped he could work undercover,” Gemma replied thoughtfully.

  “You’ll figure something out, Gem,” Sage said, standing up. “Oh, and I’d check up on him quickly, just to make sure he’s okay.”

  “What do you mean?” Gemma asked.

  “Kalista might send him to Amber Tzal’aenith. You know, that crazy chick on her big mission to find a man worthy of her. And when they don’t meet her expectations?” Sage asked with a smirk. “She likes to make them cry.”

  “Is he in danger?” Gemma asked, frowning.

  “No. Well, maybe his ego is. Or maybe not. I don’t really know what he’s capable of. Because you won’t tell me,” Sage said, staring at Gemma.

  “Later,” Gemma replied.

  “Sure,” Sage answered, heading toward the door. “And in the meantime, I’ll just get to know this handsome boy myself,” she added, walking out.

  “Sage! Leave him alone!” Gemma shouted after her friend, but she was already gone.

  --- Amber’s Room ---

  I stepped into Amber’s room, and the first thing that caught my eye was the sheer number of vials, bottles, pnts, powders, and tools scattered everywhere. And clothes. So many clothes.

  “Do you live and work here?” I asked.

  “You came in to see how I live?” Amber replied, standing in the middle of the room with her hands on her hips, staring at me. “Or are you just stalling so your friends don’t find out how quickly you finished?”

  Smiling, I approached her, stopping just inches from her, face to face.

  “You have no idea who you’re talking to,” I said.

  Amber rolled her pale blue eyes, but then licked her small, full lips as she stared at me. “I love breaking men like you,” she said, her voice low and husky. “It’s the most fun.”

  “You’ve never met a man like me.”

  “Oh, I’ve met many men just like you,” Amber said, her breath brushing against my face. “Every single one of you thinks you're special, that women should just spread their legs for you.”

  “We’re in your room,” I replied, raising an eyebrow. Our lips were almost touching, but neither of us closed the st inch between us.

  “Someone needs to put you in your pce,” Amber remarked with a smirk.

  “What are you waiting for?” I asked.

  Amber grabbed me by the shirt and pulled me toward her, but instead of meeting my lips, she swiftly stepped aside and shoved me backward onto the bed that had been behind her.

  I twisted as I fell, nding on my back. Then I shifted up a bit, getting comfortable against her pillows, arms spread wide, watching her with a smile.

  Amber narrowed her eyes watching me, then smirked as she climbed onto the bed. Slowly, she crawled forward on her hands and knees, getting closer. Her hands slid up my legs, brushing higher as she moved, gliding right past my hardening cock and up over my thighs to my stomach.

  When she reached my chest, she straddled my hips and lowered her hands to grab my shirt. As she started pulling it up, I leaned forward and raised my arms to help.

  But Amber just smirked, then yanked the fabric to the sides and tore it down the middle, exposing my chest and stomach, completely destroying the shirt.

  “Bitch,” I gasped. “I don’t have many shirts.”

  “Oh, are you gonna cry?” Amber asked in a tone like she was talking to a child.

  Grabbing her hips, I rolled us over. Now she was lying beneath me on her bed, with her legs spread as I knelt between them.

  “You’re going to pay for that,” I growled, lowering myself.

  “Make me.” Amber licked her pink lips.

  I leaned down to kiss her, but not on her mouth. Brushing aside her silver-white hair, I pressed my lips to the pale blue skin of her long neck. My hand slid into her hair as I moved higher.

  Suddenly, Amber tensed and grabbed my wrist. “Don’t you fucking dare touch my ears,” she snapped.

  I looked into her eyes with a smirk. “Oh, are you gonna cry if I touch your little ears?” I asked, using the kind of voice you’d use on a child.

  “I’m gonna kill you if you touch them,” Amber growled, pushing my hand away. Twisting her hips, she managed to shove me off. As I nded on my side, she immediately straddled me, hovering above with her hands pressed to my shoulders.

  “Understand?!” she hissed.

  “You’ll beg me to touch you,” I said, smiling.

  “Only one of us is going to beg today,” Amber replied, pressing her crotch against the bulge in my pants. “And it’s gonna be you,” she added, before she lowered her mouth to my neck.

  Her soft, full lips brushed against my skin as she trailed kisses across it.

  Amber started to grind against my hard cock, but with our pants in the way, it was more uncomfortable than pleasurable. Her lips moved all over my neck, sending pleasant shivers, until her teeth grazed my skin.

  I hummed approvingly, it actually felt pretty nice. Amber must’ve taken that as a challenge, because a moment ter, she bit me. Hard enough to leave a bruise. But I just moaned, pretending it was pure pleasure, even though it hurt a little.

  Amber pulled back, looking at me with confusion on her face. “Are you a masochist?”

  I chuckled as she stared at me questioningly, but then I grabbed her shoulders and rolled us over, straddling her again.

  “I’ve been bitten by a vampire during sex. Not once. Not twice. Compared to that, yours felt like a sweet love bite,” I expined. Then I attacked her lips, finally connecting us in a passionate kiss.

  Amber kissed me back eagerly, even trying to push her tongue into my mouth, but I didn't let her, pulling back just slightly. Putting my hand on her chest, I squeezed her tits through her shirt and bra, making her moan softly into my mouth.

  I broke the kiss and pulled back, smiling.

  “We’re just getting started,” Amber said as she tugged her shirt up, revealing her pale, ft stomach, then a pale blue bra, nearly the same color as her skin. Her tits weren’t overly rge, but squeezed by her underwear, they looked amazing.

  The moment she tossed her shirt aside, I grabbed both cups of her bra and yanked them apart, tearing the string connecting them in the middle. The cups fell to her sides, leaving her tits fully exposed.

  “Asshole,” Amber muttered, but then moaned as I grabbed her naked breasts. They were soft and round, filling my hands nicely, even if a bit smaller than Zoe’s. Amber’s nipples, pink like her lips, were rge and already hard.

  Still fondling her tits, I didn't reply, my lips busy kissing her again. The kiss grew passionate quickly, even getting aggressive, as she pushed her lips against mine, again trying to force her tongue into my mouth, but as before I didn't let her.

  Her hands slid along my arms, fingers squeezing my muscles, as she pressed her chest forward into my hands.

  I lowered one hand, stroking her soft stomach before reaching the waistband of her pants and sliding my fingers underneath.

  I’d barely brushed her mound when Amber grabbed my wrist and pulled her lips away, turning her head slightly. “Not so fast,” she whispered. “First, you’ll beg for it.”

  “You can dream about it,” I snorted. “You’re not exactly in a position to demand that,” I added, pressing my cock against her mound, but with her legs closed, I couldn’t get to her properly.

  Amber smirked, then suddenly thrust her hips upward, trying to push me off. I spread my legs wide and pnted my hands around her head, holding myself steady above her, even if she surprised me with how strong she was.

  “Sweet,” I said, leaning in for a kiss, but she grabbed my shoulders and, with a determined look, twisted her entire body, managing to roll us over. I used the momentum to roll us again, shoving her back onto the bed.

  But we went too far.

  We fell from the bed, and I hit the floor ft on my back. Luckily, it wasn’t very high, but pain still fred through my body.

  While I was recovering, Amber adjusted her position, still straddling me, and pressed her crotch firmly against the bulge in my pants.

  “Look who’s on top,” she said, smirking.

  Grabbing her hips, I sat up. Then, shifting forward, I pushed her back. She started to lean onto her back, but I didn’t let her. Instead, I grabbed her ass, stood up, and pulled her up with me. Holding her in my arms, I pressed her against the wall and kissed her lips as she wrapped her legs around me.

  I was grinding my still-covered, hard cock against her crotch while groping her ass at the same time. Our lips mashed together, tongues battling for dominance.

  As I held her pinned against the wall, she raked her nails down my shoulders and arms, sending jolts of something on the verge of pleasure and pain. My fingers dug deeply into her ass cheeks, but the clothes between us were blocking me from what I really wanted.

  Leaning slightly back, I pulled my pants down, and as they fell to my ankles, I grabbed Amber’s ass and turned us around. Pushing her on the bed, I knelt between her legs. I broke the kiss to pull her pants off too.

  Amber connected her legs to help while watching me. “I like strong men,” she said sensually.

  I gnced at her, surprised by the change in her tone.

  “Come here,” she purred, shifting further up the bed, spreading her legs, now only in her pale blue panties which covered her crotch. “That’s what you want, right?” she asked, putting her hand on the material of her underwear, trailing her fingers along her covered slit.

  “Come on,” Amber said. “Don't be scared all of a sudden. I just wanted to make sure that you’re stronger than me. And you quite impressed me.” She pulled her panties to the side, revealing her slick, glistening folds, just as pink as her lips and nipples. “Now show me that you can st longer than a minute.”

  Quickly getting rid of my boxers, I freed my hard cock, which bobbed as I knelt between Amber’s legs, careful and ready in case she would try to flip us again. But she seemed rexed, lying on the bed with her legs spread.

  “Someone’s spreading her legs for me?” I asked, shifting closer.

  “Isn’t that what you wanted?” she replied softly, wiggling her hips.

  I settled between her thighs and ran the length of my cock along her slit, the tip pressing between her wet, hot folds. Amber moaned as I ground against her clit, leaning down to take her pink nipple between my lips.

  As I flicked my tongue over it, I shifted my hips lower until the head of my cock pressed against her entrance, her pussy wrapped snugly around its head. She gripped my shoulders as I slowly pushed inside, her inner walls tightening around my shaft while soft moans escaped her lips.

  When her folds were wrapped around the base of my dick and my whole length was buried inside her, I licked her tits one st time before bringing my lips higher to kiss her again. She y there with her eyes closed, clearly enjoying my cock deep inside her.

  Slowly, I pulled my hips back, my cock sliding out of her body. Watching her expression closely, I thrust back in. Amber gasped softly in pleasure while opening her eyes to look at me.

  Her pussy gripped my length, her inner walls squeezing and massaging me as I began to move—thrusting in and out of her, slow and steady, savoring every inch of her depths.

  She wrapped her arms around my shoulders, pulling me closer. My chest pressed against her tits as she pulled me into a tight hug, her lips by my ear, as she moaned every time my cock reached deep into her warmth.

  My pace quickened. Her pussy accepted me easily, and I was filled with satisfaction hearing her every little gasp of pleasure as I took her hard and fast.

  “Gods, that’s nice,” Amber murmured. “If only you were really stronger than me,” she whispered into my ear.

  With the pleasure coursing through my body, pressure building in my balls as I thrust my cock into her body, it wasn't so easy to think clearly. And before I realized what she had said, something wrapped around my wrists and pulled strongly forward, then up, pulling me slightly into the air.

  My dick slid out of Amber’s pussy, and then something pulled me back. I nded on my back, with my hands held over my head, as something wrapped around my ankles, pinning them down to the bed.

  Amber quickly sat up. I was already focusing on my mana, but she wrapped her hand around my cock, and as she started to jerk me off, spreading her juices all over my shaft, a pleasant shiver ran through my body, and I moaned.

  I realized that it was still a game for her, a fight for dominance in bed, and she wasn't attacking me, only supporting herself with magic when her physical strength failed her.

  “Men are so stupid,” Amber muttered. Her hand was still gliding over my length, her fingers brushing my skin, further building pressure in my balls. “Show them a pussy, and they lose their mind. Like animals. They just can’t control their urges.”

  “You’re not the best at it either,” I replied, gncing at one of her hands that was still on my member, then at the other that she held between her legs, pying with her pussy.

  The position that she held me in was strange, and I didn't like that I was bound. But as I tried to pull at whatever was holding me, I couldn’t get free. I could try to use my mana, but then Amber would get to know that I had a css, so I decided to wait to see how things would develop. Her hand stroking my cock, bringing me closer to my orgasm, was also a convincing argument to wait a bit longer.

  Amber sighed. “You have quite a nice cock. And you’re stronger than me,” she said, her tone wistful.

  “But like every man, you’re just an arrogant asshole,” Amber growled suddenly. “Weak, trying to compensate for your shortcomings. I’ll put you in your pce,” she added, her tone changing to something that made me reconsider if I shouldn’t already try to get out of her bonds.

  But then, her hand shifted lower to the base of my cock, stroking and twisting quickly, as she leaned down and wrapped her pink lips around its tip. She sucked softly as her fingers glided over my length.

  Her tongue flicked all over my cock’s head, her white hair falling over her face and my thighs, as pressure was building quickly in my balls, and I groaned, getting closer to that sweet pleasure of release.

  Amber suddenly pulled away. My cock twitched, hungry for more, but the orgasm that was just so close was now fading as she stopped stroking me.

  I groaned, unsatisfied, trying to push my hips up, but that didn't give me anything, as I buckled held by her bonds.

  Amber smirked, crawling on all fours on top of me. “I told you,” she whispered. “I’ll make you beg.”

  The game was frustrating, but it wasn't to the point that I would use my mana and reveal my css to her. “You can try,” I replied, breathing deeply, as my orgasm was only a memory, and my body was left with frustration. “But you won’t succeed,” I added, trying to rex, even if the position itself was making me uncomfortable.

  “No?” Amber asked, slowly tracing her fingers over my chest as she sat on my hips, pressing her folds against my hard cock. “Why? Because you’re a man? Because you’re some important figure?” she asked, circling my nipple. “Because you’re strong? Believe me, I would love if any of that was true. But you’re the one bound to the bed, helpless and at my mercy,” she said, her fingers pinching my nipple softly.

  I groaned, twisting my chest away from her fingers, at least as much as I could while being bound.

  “Tell me,” Amber said. “Tell me more, and when you will squirm beneath me, I will spit it all in your face to make you realize how pathetic you are, and that you don't deserve a woman like me.”

  I chuckled. “Yet, you sit on top of me naked, and we’re having sex.”

  “Someone needs to teach you a lesson,” Amber said, with something dangerous in her eyes, and I was considering if it was the moment to get free. “All men are weak and pathetic,” she said, shifting her hands to my arms.

  “Sure, some of you are stronger than us women physically,” she said, squeezing my muscles. “But in the end, that doesn’t matter, because you’re all little boys without any magic. Yet, for some fucking reason, you think that you can dominate us. That you’re the stronger ones. That we should lie down and let you take whatever you want. That you deserve it. That you deserve us. That you deserve me!”

  Amber snorted. “You don't even want to think of yourself as equal in a retionship, no, you think that you’re the better one. That you should lead, take care of us, as if we are helpless little girls. Well… today you will learn that not every woman is weak, and you don't deserve those that have magic skills. No men deserve us!” she growled.

  “I’ll take whatever I want, and you can’t do shit about it, boy,” Amber said, leaning down, staring into my eyes.

  “You think you’re better because you know some magic tricks?” I asked with a smirk while focusing on my mana.

  Amber waved her hand, her mana, visible and green, flew out of her palm and hit one of the gss vials on the table, shattering it as gss flew all over the room.

  “I can do the same with your head! Better shut up or you will not make it out of here today,” Amber growled, her spit hitting my face.

  The situation was getting tense, and I was ready to attack her with my mana, still hesitating to reveal my css, feeling that the shattered vial was just a show.

  “Enough of talking,” Amber said. “I’ll admit that you made me horny, and now I need relief,” she said, licking her lips. Then she shifted further on the bed until her knees were on both sides of my head, and her pink, glistening pussy was hanging over my head.

  “You should thank me that I didn't make you come in me first,” Amber said, hanging over me. “And don't worry, I’m really close. You should be able to make me come before you suffocate,” she added. Then, before I had a chance to answer, she lowered her pussy on my lips.

  With her folds pressed against my lips, I just went with it, relieved that it was still just a game for her. I pushed my tongue out between her lips as she ground herself against me.

  Her full weight was on my face, and she wasn’t gentle, grinding herself against me, soaking me with her juices. But despite what she had said, her movements let me breathe. There was never any real risk of suffocation.

  Still, the position felt strange. I was bound, my hands tied above my head, and she was sitting on my face. I tried to focus on licking her slit, wanting to make her come, hoping that once she did, she’d finally move on, hopefully to my cock still standing hard, begging for some relief.

  Amber was moaning above me, her hips working back and forth, rubbing her pussy all over my face. But as she was getting closer to her release, she was making smaller movements, pressing her pussy harder against my mouth. My tongue was between her folds as I reached as deep as I could into her sex.

  Her juices coated my face, my lips, my tongue. They tasted sweet, unnaturally sweet, and I wondered if it was some weird trait of her demon race.

  Amber gasped louder, then her fingers entangled in my hair. She tilted my head while shifting her hips so my tongue slipped out of her pussy and was at the top of her slit instead.

  “Suck my clit, little bitch,” she ordered.

  I wrapped my lips around her clit and flicked my tongue against it. I’ll make her pay for those words when I get control back, hopefully without using my mana, but I was really getting closer to just ignoring that she shouldn’t know about my css and showing her what I was capable of.

  Her hips moved in quick, unduting waves as she ground her clit against my mouth. I sucked and licked, making her moan and squirm on top of me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t even point out that it was me making her squirm, not the other way around.

  “Fuck,” Amber gasped. Then she tilted her hips again, bringing her folds back to my lips. “Stick your useless tongue into my cunt, pathetic boy,” she commanded, while bringing her fingers to her clit, stroking it quickly just above my eyes.

  I stuck my tongue out and pushed it between her folds, tongue-fucking her, spreading her entrance, as she ground herself against my face, while flicking her clit.

  My patience was running low, and I was close to using my mana to show her who was really stronger. At least I hoped I was. I realized that I couldn't be so sure of that. And it was only an additional reason to wait and not expose my css. If she was stronger than me, I would only get myself into deeper problems, so I decided to wait and see how things would develop after she orgasmed.

  “I-Imagine it’s your hard cock,” Amber moaned. “Deep in my pussy.”

  I smirked, at least as much as I could, while fucking her with my tongue and her pussy pressed against my face. If someone was imagining that, it was clearly her.

  Amber pressed her body harder against me, rubbing her clit faster, her moans growing louder. Her legs tensed around my head for a few seconds as she pressed her fingers hard against her clit, holding them in pce. I watched her body twitch and squirm as she closed her eyes, moaning through her orgasm.

  When it finally passed, Amber colpsed onto the bed beside me. With my hands still bound above my head, I turned my head to look at her squirming, naked body, her tits rising and falling enticingly with each deep breath.

  “A little too much?” I asked.

  Amber sighed, gncing at me. “I must admit, you’re quite good with your tongue. And your cock. And it's hot that you’re strong and arrogant,” she whispered. Then she shook her head. “But you are a fucking useless, weak man,” she snapped, sitting up.

  She shifted onto her side next to me, draping one leg over mine as she rested her head on my outstretched arm. Her hand slowly traced circles across my chest.

  “I’m stronger than you,” I said, watching her face, careful about what her next move would be, as she had her gaze focused on my cock. She lowered her hand, wrapping her fingers around my girth.

  She turned toward me and kissed me, her hand stroking my cock at a quick pace, fingers gripping tightly around my shaft. Each squeeze sent tingling pleasure shooting through me, down to my balls, especially once I realized she was tasting herself from my lips.

  But then she bit my lip, pulled back, and let go of my cock completely, leaving me hanging again, denied release. My frustration was growing. I could end this, take control using my mana. Show her what I was really capable of. Show her she had no idea who she was pying with.

  “We’ll see what you say soon,” Amber said, throwing a leg over my hips and straddling me. With her hands on my chest, she pressed her slick folds against my shaft, rubbing herself slowly along its length. Sparks of pleasure shot through me, but it wasn’t enough to make me come.

  She leaned forward, hovering over my face, but didn’t kiss me.

  “You’ll be a new man when I’m done with you,” she whispered, staring into my eyes. “Finally understanding your pce in this world.” Her voice was low, dangerous, but ced with heat. “But first, tell me more,” she murmured. “Tell me how strong you are. How much better than me you are. That you’re the man. Go on, say it. I love hearing that, right before I make a man squirm and beg.”

  “I love seeing that moment in their eyes. The moment when they realize they’re nothing compared to me. That I could do anything I want to you. That you're completely at my mercy.”

  Little bitch was pushing my limits. I wasn't sure what her pns were, if it was teasing or if she was pnning something much worse for me. But her pussy was still gliding along my shaft, making me wonder if perhaps it was still just sex and weird dirty talk that was working for her, and not exactly for me.

  Amber smiled, leaning down. She brushed her pink lips softly against mine, barely touching them, teasing me with her tongue flicking against my upper lip. I tried to kiss her, but she just leaned back, and with my arms bound, I couldn't reach her.

  She pressed her crotch harder against my shaft, my cock not penetrating her, but her folds, wet, slick, warm, rubbed all over my length as she watched my face. I knew that she would not let me come, and the frustration was making it harder to think, all the time edged close to my orgasm, but I couldn't stop it all without revealing that I had a css.

  I was getting closer to my orgasm again, and she must have seen it in my face, because she shifted back, her ass resting on my knees, as my cock throbbed between us, and she watched it with a smirk.

  She put her hands on my chest and shifted them lower, grazing my skin with her nails, hard, leaving red marks, getting closer to my dick.

  “Do you want something?” Amber asked, smiling, gncing from my cock to my eyes.

  “I’m having fun,” I replied. “If I wanted something, I would just take it.”

  Amber sighed. “Well, apparently you’re only handsome and strong. Not only magically useless but not the bright one either,” she said, her hand wrapping around my hard cock, her fingers gliding over its length slowly.

  “Do you want to come?” Amber asked.

  “You wanna guess?”

  “You can always beg. Maybe I will even let you,” she said, her hand quickening her movements, her fingers focusing on my cock’s head, pleasure spreading through my shaft, making me gasp softly.

  But when my legs twitched, as I was getting closer again, Amber pulled her hand away, shifting lower to my balls, fondling them gently, which was pleasurable, but not enough to push me over the edge, only making it worse, as my cock throbbed, demanding attention.

  I wanted to come. To finally release the pressure that was building in my balls. Maybe her finding out about my css wouldn't be such a big problem? Already a few people knew. The tension was getting frustrating, and I was leaning toward just getting myself free from the bonds using my mana, and then taking Amber, to show her that I was not like the other men.

  “How do you feel?” Amber asked. “Being at my mercy?” she added, suddenly squeezing my balls harder and watching me with a smirk. It wasn’t painful, but it was sending a message. “Not so manly anymore, huh?”

  “You’re quite good at handjobs,” I said, preparing my mana to get free from this situation.

  Amber squeezed my balls a little harder, but immediately let go of them. She grazed her nails along my thigh, shifting off the bed.

  “I see that you’ll be problematic. But that just makes things much more fun,” she said, walking naked to the table. “Well, for me, not exactly for you,” she added, turning around. I had my mana ready, waiting for the right opportunity to get myself free.

  “That’s lube,” Amber said, lifting up a fsk with something white in it. “If you beg me nicely, I might think about using it on you before I shove this in your ass,” she added, raising her other hand, in which she held a blue, long object that quite clearly was a dildo.

  “It’s a perfect toy to make men squirm and beg,” she said, then tossed it at me. It nded on my stomach, and I twisted my body to toss it off. Who knew where the fuck it had been before.

  That was clearly crossing the line. There was no doubt I was getting free of the bonds, just waiting for the right moment to do it.

  Amber giggled. “Don’t worry. It was only inside me before, nothing you haven’t already touched or tasted,” she said. “When I use them on men, I leave them deep in their asses before throwing them out of my room,” she added, coming back to the bed and pcing the lube on the nightstand.

  “Touch me with it, and you’ll regret it,” I growled.

  “Yeah?” Amber asked, grinning. “What are you going to do to me?”

  “You’ll see.”

  “Oh, come on, be a little more creative,” Amber said, cupping my cheek, sitting next to me on the bed. “I want to hear it all,” she said, then kissed me softly. “And then do it to you, ughing in your face when you’re completely broken.”

  I doubted she was joking, and I was pnning to get free. I really hoped that she had only one css, and with her room, it was quite obvious it was something with mixtures or potions or whatever. Hopefully, something that wouldn’t let her beat me in a fight when it came to that.

  “No?” Amber asked when I didn’t reply. “Well, fortunately, you’re not the first one in a position like this, and they were much more creative. Gave me many, many ideas,” she said, picking up the dildo.

  “Touch me with it, bitch, and I’ll shove it in your ass,” I said.

  She spped my chest with the dildo. “Done, I touched you! And what?! Nothing! But you know what? You should shut your fucking mouth! And maybe if I stick this in your fucking throat, that’ll teach you something,” she growled, bringing it to my lips.

  “I’ll make you choke on it, like a little bitch, so it’s lubed for-”

  Mid-sentence, I summoned my mana and sent it toward the bonds around my hands, while channeling a second burst into her shoulders, pushing her back. Whatever she was about to say was cut off by a scream as she flew backward.

  Sitting up, I sent mana into the bindings on my legs, then leapt on top of Amber, who had nded on her back.

  Before she had time to realize what was happening, I was already straddling her, holding her wrists above her head, in the exact same position, only now we had switched pces. The dildo flew off the bed, nding somewhere on the floor. Fuck the consequences of her finding out about my css, I was not getting a dildo into my throat or up my ass.

  I looked at her, with my mana ready to fight, wondering if I should run from her room or stay and try to get information out of her. But the attack didn’t come, and seeing her expression, I stopped.

  “W-What?” she asked. “How?” Her gaze quickly moved around the room, then focused on me again. “How do you-”

  I stopped her, kissing her small, plump lips. She kissed me back at first but quickly turned her head to the side.

  “How did you do that?” she asked.

  “I warned you,” I said. “Now, you’ll pay,” I added, leaning down to kiss her again, but she turned her head away.

  “Wait,” she said.

  I leaned back. “Too much for you, little elf?”

  “Don’t call me that, asshole!” she hissed, then summoned mana in her hands and sent it toward me.

  But I was ready and blocked it with my own, trying to use a bit less than what I sensed from her. It wasn’t perfect with such a short time to react, but when our mana collided, both vanished.

  She was staring at me, her gaze flicking over my face as she panted. “How do you do that?” she asked.

  “None of your business,” I replied, still holding her down. How the fuck was I going to get information out of her? So far, she had taken some out of me, and I hadn’t learned anything about Malvick.

  Amber summoned her mana again and sent it toward me, but I simply blocked it.

  “Y-You have mana,” she whispered.

  I didn’t see the point in denying what she already knew. “I told you I’m special,” I whispered, pinning her to the bed and pressing my cock against her pussy. “Do you really want to talk now? Rather than have sex? Or maybe I should just take what I’ve won… little elf.”

  “You didn’t win, you fucker,” she hissed. Her green mana shot at me from her hands while she tried to kick me at the same time, but I blocked her mana, and after she managed to buckle me once, I shifted my knees and stayed on top of her.

  She sent more mana at me, and then more, but as before, I already had mine ready and kept blocking her attacks. I’d quickly used three hundred points and was starting to worry how much she might have. Still, with the advantage of position, I should be able to run from the room and seek help from Zoe and Mari.

  But after a few more mana attacks, while she still struggled, Amber suddenly stopped casting. She kept trying to break free, but after a while, even that ceased. She just y beneath me, panting, eyes turned away.

  “Are you done?” I asked.

  She gave me a small nod, not looking so confident anymore. Now, in her gaze, I could see something like fear, which made me realize that, in these reversed roles, she might not want to have sex at all. But there was something more there too, something I’d seen in Zoe’s eyes before, when she was submitting to me and offering to do anything I wanted.

  “W-What are you going to do?” Amber asked quietly, much more timid all of a sudden.

  “Maybe I should leave and go find a woman who doesn't threaten to rape my ass,” I suggested.

  “You can't leave now!” Amber gasped.

  I smirked. That was the confirmation I needed, that she still wanted to have sex in this strange fight for dominance.

  “Well, I might just take what I’ve won,” I added, squeezing her wrists harder above her head. “Or maybe I’m waiting for you to beg,” I said, leaning down, my face close to hers.

  “I-In your dreams,” she muttered, but it didn’t really sound convincing.

  I chuckled before connecting our lips, pushing my tongue into her mouth, and she accepted it, sucking on it softly and flicking her own against it. We were making out as I shifted, finding her crotch with my hard cock.

  Still holding her hands above her head, I rubbed my shaft along her slit until I was positioned at her entrance. But I only pushed the tip inside, then stopped. I wanted more, wanted to bury myself deep inside her, to feel her pussy wrapped around my cock, to thrust into her, to fill her completely. But I paused, and breaking the kiss, I looked into her eyes.

  Without saying a word, I waited. She looked back at me, our breaths mixing, while only my cock’s head was inside her.

  Her breathing was quick, and she licked her lips, gulped, and averted her gaze. “Do it,” she whispered.

  “What did you say, little elf?” I asked with a smile.

  “Do it, you fucking bastard,” she snapped, turning toward me.

  Shifting my hands, I held her with only one and brought the other to her white hair. As I stroked it, she turned her gaze toward me, her eyes widening.

  “D-Don’t do it,” she muttered.

  “Then ask nicely for my cock,” I said, brushing the tips of my fingers over her long ear, stroking its upper edge, barely grazing it.

  Amber tried to pull her hands back, but I was holding her firmly. Then came a mana attack, but the amount was so small, it was barely a few points. Probably all she had managed to regenerate.

  I pressed my finger harder against her ear, warm and long, and she squirmed beneath me, turning her head away and avoiding my gaze.

  “So, what do you want, Amber?” I asked.

  She shook her head slightly.

  I smirked. “Fine,” I said, letting go of her ear and leaning down to kiss the tip softly. She groaned when my lips brushed against it, but then I shifted to kiss her lips. If not like that, I would make her beg in a different way.

  As I pushed my tongue into her mouth, I also pushed my cock into her pussy. Her lips parted wide as she moaned, my hips spping against hers as her heat engulfed my manhood.

  I kissed her while immediately settling into a quick rhythm. Fast, deep, hard thrusts into her pussy, making her moan and squirm beneath me. She struggled to kiss me back, her hands clutching my shoulders.

  I moved faster, smming into her, rising up to watch her tits bounce with every thrust.

  “Not how you imagined this night, huh?” I asked.

  Amber’s gaze focused on me, but she didn’t reply, just watched me as I hovered above, fucking her. The pressure was building in my balls, and after she’d left me hanging on the edge a few times, it was rising fast.

  I needed to make her come first, so I held back as much as I could, trying not to finish while still plunging into her lean body. Her long legs were spread for me, letting me take whatever I wanted.

  The satisfaction of winning, of showing her she was wrong, fueled me to push faster, harder, to make her scream on my cock before I filled her with my cum.

  Making her come first had one more big advantage. When her eyes closed, her legs tensed, and she arched her back, I pushed as deep as I could into her. And stopped. Grabbing her hands, I pinned them to the bed.

  Her eyes flew open, and she pushed her hips against me, but I stayed still.

  “No,” she whimpered. “Don’t stop!”

  “Do you want something, little elf?” I asked, smiling.

  She mewled, staring at me. “Please,” she blurted out.

  “Please what?”

  She averted her gaze. “Please make me come,” she muttered. “Please give me your cock. Please, please, please, fuck me.”

  “If you beg so nicely,” I replied, smirking.

  I was too horny myself to prolong things any further, and her begging only fueled my need. I started to fuck her hard and fast, holding her hips as I plunged in and out of her slick insides. Her folds glided over my shaft as Amber moaned and gasped, squirming beneath me.

  Her white-silver hair flew around as her tits jiggled, and then she screamed. Her pussy clenched around my shaft, her body twitching, arching in the throes of orgasm.

  I growled, finally letting myself cum. My cock throbbed with release, satisfaction and relief flooding my body, pleasure surging up my spine to my head. Nothing else mattered as I kept thrusting into her spasming pussy, spurting cum and filling her, while she moaned.

  Still holding her hips, I kept pushing my cock into her, even after I had finished. Even when I was no longer cumming, I only slowed down slightly, but never stopped.

  My cock was still hard. Whether it was my young body, my css, my skills, or my stats, whatever the reason, I was certain I wouldn’t go soft. And since the opportunity was perfect, I wanted to test if I could keep going without a break after my orgasm, and take her again, right away.

  Amber was still moaning, her orgasm over, yet her body hadn’t fully come down from it, still lost in pleasure. I kept fucking her, and after a dozen thrusts, I was sure. I didn’t need a break. So I picked up the pace again. Faster. Harder. Thrust after thrust in her slick and hot pussy.

  My hands slid up from her hips to her tits, squeezing them roughly, pinching her nipples.

  She suddenly lifted her head with a moan, her expression full of bliss as she blinked rapidly, looking at me.

  “Y-You already came,” she muttered.

  I smirked. “I’m not done with you.”

  She gasped, tilting her head back, pressing her tits into my hands as I kept using her pussy for my pleasure.

  “S-S-Shit,” she stammered.

  “Too much for you?” I asked, still pying with her tits while pounding into her relentlessly.

  Amber was unable to answer, only moaning as her body clenched and a second orgasm ripped through her. Pinning her down with my body, I kept thrusting in and out of her quivering pussy.

  Her breath hitched as she tried to gasp for air between my thrusts and the overwhelming orgasm that had taken her breath away. She was drowning in pleasure, fighting for air.

  This orgasm sted longer, and my hard shaft spread her inner walls with every stroke. But when she finally slumped down, her limbs limp on the bed, panting with her eyes closed, I pulled my cock out of her.

  She had wanted to fight, and lost. And now, after I’d already come once inside her, I wanted to do something more. Something to show her who was in control. To show who had won.

  She didn’t even react when I stopped fucking her and shifted forward, kneeling over her chest.

  I grabbed her head and lifted it. Only then did she open her eyes and look up at me.

  “What?” she muttered.

  “Suck my cock,” I ordered, pcing my shaft on her face. It was slick with her juices, and as I rubbed it against her cheek, I left it wet with her own arousal. After smearing my tip across her skin, leaving my precum there too, I shifted the head of my cock to her small lips and pressed it against them.

  Amber parted them, and when my cock slipped into her mouth, she started to twirl her tongue around it as I thrust in and out between her lips. Holding her head, white hair in both hands, I used her mouth, her lips, her tongue for my pleasure, rushing toward my second orgasm.

  When the pressure in my balls was boiling, and I was almost there, I thrust a few more times, her tongue dancing over my most sensitive spots. And when I felt my cum rushing through my shaft, I pulled out of her mouth with a pop and grabbed my cock, still holding her face up.

  Jerking myself off, the first spurt hit her face, her eye, her forehead. Amber shuddered with a gasp as my cum coated her. Pleasure surged through me, but I stayed focused on painting her face, watching it, savoring the satisfaction of asserting dominance by covering her with my cum.

  I shifted my cock to spread it as much as I could, both cheeks, her chin, her lips. I even considered spurting on her ear but decided that might be a little too weird. When I was finally empty, I pushed the tip back between her lips.

  “Suck me clean,” I ordered.

  Amber moaned softly, wrapping her lips around my cock and sucking it gently, while her tongue rubbed around it.

  After a moment, I pulled back and rested her head gently on the bed. She was watching me, submission written all over her face, along with my cum. I took a mental photo of her using my skill. That would be one of my most precious captures. An image of my victory over this dark elf.

  “Good little elf,” I said, stroking her white-silver hair.

  She pouted, which only gave me another photo for my collection. It looked hot, with my cum smeared all over her face.

  I shifted and y down next to her on the bed.

  Amber rolled over, getting closer, coming in for a hug—but I stopped her.

  “Clean yourself first,” I said.

  “You did that to me,” she said, pouting.

  “And if you want to get close to me, wash,” I replied simply.

  She let out a breath but then slid off the bed. She grabbed a shirt and wiped her face. Then she poured water into a rge bowl on the table and dipped her face into it, washing herself until she was completely clean.

  She turned toward me, looking at me questioningly. I spread my arms wide, inviting her to come to me.

  I was supposed to get information out of her, and it turned into a fight for dominance. But as she shifted and id her head on my chest, pressing herself against me, I realized that maybe that had been a necessary step to make her cooperative.

  I softly stroked her back for a moment. Her tits were pressed against my arm, her leg draped over mine, as she simply y there with her head resting on my chest.

  “Great,” I said. “Now, let’s move to business.”

  “W-What?” Amber stammered, turning her head to look up at me.

  “I have a few questions,” I replied.

  “Me too,” she whispered.

  “It’s about your ex. Malvic. I want to know more about him.”

  “Malvic?!” Amber hissed. “That coward? What the fuck do you want from him?!”

  “Do you know what he sells?” I asked.

  Amber scoffed. “You’re wasting your time. He’s a fucking scammer. Piece of shit,” she growled.

  “First of all, rex, little elf,” I said.

  She let out an angry breath, stared at me with wrinkles on her forehead, but then gave me a small nod.

  I chuckled as I watched her.

  “What?” she muttered.

  “Apparently you just needed someone to fuck you properly to stop being a bitch,” I said.

  “That’s… more complicated,” Amber replied, turning her gaze away.

  “What do you know about what Malvic transports?” I asked, getting back to the topic.

  “How do you have mana?” Amber asked in return.

  “I’m the one asking questions,” I replied.

  “And why should I answer them?”

  I sighed. “First of all, it’s quite obvious you don’t like Malvic. So you can do it for revenge. I might be able to shut down his little business,” I said. “Second, because I’m asking nicely. Third, maybe I’ll answer your questions ter on,” I offered.

  Amber sighed, resting her head on my chest, looking down along my body so I couldn’t see her face.

  “What do you want to know?” she asked.

  “Tell me everything.”

  There was a moment of silence as she collected her thoughts.

  “I thought Malvic was dangerous, powerful, well-connected… someone who might actually be worthy of a woman like me,” she said, tracing small circles on my chest with her finger.

  “Not magically strong, of course. I didn’t think men with mana even existed. I just… wanted someone who could feel like a real man…”

  She hesitated for a moment, then continued, softer now.

  “I seduced him. Tried to be the perfect girlfriend. I looked good, did whatever he wanted, helped him, made him happy. I tried to be the best girlfriend a man can have.” Her voice trailed off.

  “Tell me about Malvic,” I said with a smirk.

  Amber shifted slightly. “Being with the most feared man in the city… it helped me ignore the fact that I was stronger than him. Like I’m stronger than any man. Well... except you,” she whispered. “But yeah, I was with him and I really was a great girlfriend.”

  “Tell me about his business,” I said.

  “He always told me not to come with him when he handled it. And I let it slide. I think a part of me liked imagining that he was doing something dangerous. That maybe he was the kind of man I needed. But one night, he came back smelling like another woman.”

  “I realized that this bastard was cheating on me. That was why I couldn't go with him. Because he was fucking some skank on the side. Cheating on me. On me! Do you understand that?! But he denied everything, telling me he was just making a deal with a woman, and that’s all.”

  “You didn’t believe him,” I said.

  “Of course fucking not! I knew he was cheating on me. I wanted to kill him. But then I wouldn’t find his mistress. And I wanted her dead too. So I waited. For his next delivery.”

  “Did you find her?”

  “Yeah, he was meeting with her maybe an hour from here, in the middle of the forest. He didn’t sleep with her that night, and I was certain he just didn’t want to raise suspicions. But also… something seemed off. I wasn’t sure what, but the woman was with a few others, and I had no chance of killing her then, so I decided to follow her when Malvic returned to Antranth.”

  “You followed her to the pce where she took the cargo?” I asked. It was possible that I was holding in my arms someone who knew where the b was.

  “Yeah, and then I realized that Malvic was a coward and a scammer. But not because he cheated on me. No, that woman would never sleep with someone like him. And I was sleeping with this bastard. He wasn’t really special or dangerous. He’s a useless piece of shit who doesn’t smuggle anything valuable. He sells fucking-”

  “Fish,” I interrupted, finishing for her.

  “You know,” Amber gasped, turning her head to look at me. “So why do you want to-” she stopped herself. “You’re after that woman. Not him,” Amber said.

  “Not exactly after her,” I said. “Can you lead me to the pce where they took the fish?”

  Amber thought for a moment, and then a smile crossed her lips. “Maybe,” she whispered. “But why should I show you?”

  “What do you want?” I asked.

  “How is it possible that you have mana?” Amber asked.

  “How can I be sure that you really know where this pce is?”

  “How can I know that you’ll answer my questions when I bring you there?” Amber asked.

  “I’ll answer two of your questions now, and the rest ter, after we find that pce,” I offered.

  “I want three questions,” Amber said after a moment of thinking.

  “Sure,” I sighed.

  “How much mana do you have?” Amber asked, turning so she was looking at me again.

  “A thousand fifty,” I replied. With three questions, I suspected I’d need to lie about one of them if she asked about my css, so I decided to tell the truth with this one to try and gain her trust.

  Amber gasped, staring at me with wide eyes.

  “Why do you have mana?” she asked after a moment.

  “Why do you have mana?” I repeated her question with a smirk.

  “I was supposed to be the one asking questions,” Amber replied.

  “Just answer, and I’ll tell you after.”

  “I was born with it,” Amber shrugged.

  “I was born with it too,” I shrugged back.

  Amber grimaced.

  “I don’t know,” I said. “I don’t know why all other men don’t have mana. I don’t know why I was born with it, just like I don’t know why you have mana,” I expined, telling the truth again.

  Amber stared at me for a moment without saying anything.

  “Third question?” I asked, suspecting she’d ask about my css and getting ready to tell her only half of the truth. Or rather one third.

  “Those women who were sitting with you at the table. What are your retionships with them?” Amber asked.

  I looked at her, surprised by the question, but then chuckled. “They’re my sves,” I replied.

  Amber pressed her lips into a thin line. “Do you fuck them?”

  “That’s the fourth question.”

  “No. I want you to be precise. I asked about retionships, plural, and you only told me their official status. That’s not the same thing,” Amber said.

  “I sleep with two of them,” I replied.

  Amber grimaced, staring at me, but then rested her head on my chest, pressing herself tightly against me.

  We y in silence for a moment as I stroked her back. I was closer to finding the boratory, at least if Amber wasn’t lying. I sighed, wondering about her. That night had been… stressful and wild at the same time.

  Amber didn’t seem completely normal, which… in some fucked-up way, excited me. It also seemed like she was interested in something more than just one-time sex. Which… well, I wouldn’t mind either if she would stop with all the crazy shit she wanted to do to me, but I wasn’t sure she could accept the fact that I slept with other women. With the story about Malvic, it seemed doubtful.

  I wasn’t sure what would come of this, but for now, I needed to keep her around until we found the b. And looking over the vials scattered all over her room, I wondered if perhaps she might become our healer. Not exactly healing us with skills, but if she could make cheap potions, that would be better than nothing.

  Movement caught my attention from the corner of my eye. As I turned my head toward the door, I saw that it was slightly open, and through the gap, I spotted white hair that flew back. Below it, a pair of bck-blue wolf eyes were staring at me.

  Zoe and Azura were peeping at me and Amber.
