After sex with Julia, Zoe and I returned to Sage’s house. We didn’t manage to pass the corridor before Hannah’s door flew open, and Azura rushed at me. She jumped, wrapping her legs around my waist, pressing her petite body into me.

  “Are you okay?” I asked, wrapping my arms around her, hugging her tightly.

  She hummed a short and contented yes.

  “I missed you too,” I murmured, realizing the reason for her reaction.

  As I began moving toward the stairs, Hannah appeared in the doorway, gncing at us. I stopped, and for a short moment, we just looked at each other.

  “Have a good night,” she murmured before she closed the door.

  She really was trying to accept my retionship with her daughter. And even if she still didn’t like it or trust me, at least she wasn’t violent anymore. When I reached the stairs, I only managed to put my feet on the first step before I was stopped.

  “Handsome!” Sage’s voice came from the living room.

  I closed my eyes, stifling a groan. She was waiting for me again. Certainly, she wanted something. But this way, I could get rid of the debt quickly. And I could ask Sage about Virelia’s father.

  “Yeah?” I asked, standing in the living room doorway.

  “Another round?” she asked, raising the Truth Seeking Stone in her hand.

  “Give me a few minutes,” I replied, and didn’t wait for the answer, heading toward my room. Paying the debt by answering questions seemed like an easy job, so if I could, I would answer whatever she wanted to get rid of her.

  When we entered our room, Azura let go of me, jumping on the bed, but Amber immediately stood up, approaching me, her eyes squinted and locked on me.

  “Where are the books?” she asked.

  “They only lend them to Ortas’ citizens,” I replied, smiling. She had realized that my visit to the library might not be caused only by books.

  “Then why did you go there?”

  “You can read on site.”

  “And what were you reading?”

  “Today? Nothing.”

  “I knew it!” she huffed. “The librarian? Or are there hot young women studying there?”

  “Selira is cute, and she works there,” I replied, staring into Amber’s pale blue eyes with a challenge.

  She held my gaze for a moment, but then she sighed deeply. She got closer, pressing her body into me as she hugged me. “You’re impossible,” she murmured. But then she pulled back suddenly, her gaze focused on my face again.

  “You fucked her!” she gasped. “You smell of sex!”

  “Selira?” I asked. “No, we only talked.”

  “Someone else?!”

  “You already forgot about our little battle in the forest?” I asked, smiling.

  Amber flushed, her pale cheeks gaining a nice pink hue, but after a little frown crossed her face, she spoke again. “It’s not only me. You fucked someone else.”

  “Zoe was with me all this time,” I replied. “And we might have stumbled upon a gorgeous, horny waitress.”

  “Why?” Amber asked.

  “Why did we stumble into her?” I asked, chuckling.

  “Don’t py an idiot,” the elf replied. “Why do you chase other women when I’m waiting in your bed? You could have fucked me, but you went after some whore.”

  “I already fucked you today. And don’t worry, little elf, I’ll fuck you again,” I replied, shifting my hands from her lower back to her ass, squeezing both cheeks firmly.

  “That’s not the point,” Amber murmured, pouting.

  “Didn’t you tell me yesterday that you can’t take me anymore?” I asked.

  Amber sighed, pressing her face into my chest. “How is that even possible? Like… You can fuck all day long, and even then you’re not satisfied.”

  “Oh, Amber, I’m very satisfied. Thanks to you. And others,” I said, fondling her ass, keeping her close to me. “And I don't think I can actually go all day long.”

  Amber didn’t reply, just stood in my arms, hugging me. At least it didn’t feel like we were arguing, just talking, but I wondered if this was going to happen every time I fucked someone else.

  “Are you ever going to get used to it?” I asked.

  “To what?” she asked, looking at me. “You fucking random women?! No?” she asked as if my question was stupid. “How is someone supposed to get used to that?”

  She had a point, and I didn’t have an answer to her question. I couldn’t imagine being with someone who slept with others… at least not when I knew about it. Not to mention actually getting used to it. Zoe and Azura seemed like they had, but in truth, they just never had a problem with it in the first pce.

  “But can you learn to accept it?” I asked.

  “Maybe,” Amber murmured. “I’m here, aren’t I? But don’t expect me to high-five you after you fuck another slut and congratute you on what an amazing man you are.”

  “Don’t worry,” I replied, smiling. “I have Zoe.”

  “You're amazing, Master. No woman can resist you,” the succubus said with a wide grin on her gorgeous face. She was sitting on the bed, already naked.

  Amber sighed but kept hugging me, standing in the middle of the room.

  “Are you okay?” I asked.

  “Yeah, why?”

  “You’re quite clingy,” I murmured, squeezing her ass again.

  Amber huffed and pushed me away. “Go wash. You stink of that slut,” she said, crawling on the bed, wiggling her ass at me.

  “First, I need to take care of Sage,” I sighed.

  Amber pulled her shirt off, tossing it across the room. Her pale naked tits jiggled as she turned toward me. “I’m here naked. If I find you fucking that slut, I’m going to bite off your cock next time I blow you,” she said.

  “That’s not happening,” I replied, watching her tits. Two perfect orbs that sagged only a tiny bit, standing proudly on her chest, topped with hard pink nipples. “She wants to talk, and I need to pay the debt I took to save you.”

  “Think about where you would rather be,” Amber added, wiggling out of her shorts. She didn't wear any underwear, but she kept her legs closed so I couldn’t see her pussy. But I had a horny naked elf in my bed, and rather than fucking her unconscious, I would be interrogated by Sage. I really hoped it wouldn't take long.

  “Behave while I’m gone,” I said to the three women in the room. For a moment, I hesitated, wondering if I should leave them alone to plot against me. Then I snorted at myself. What am I even worried about? They’ll probably come up with new sex ideas, and if they cooperate, it would be good.

  “As always, Master,” Zoe replied, giggling.

  Shaking my head, I headed to the bathroom - for a quick bath, but also to make Sage wait even longer. While I was in the water, I summoned mana into the palm of my hand and waited for the slime to appear. The water slid off its body as it fed.

  When I had been fighting against Amber, mana had been flying everywhere, but the slime didn’t react, remaining hidden. It must have understood it was a fight and stayed back, but did it mean it was getting intelligent?

  I wondered how long it would take before it would be able to communicate in some way. It was growing quickly and getting more lively, not only sleeping somewhere on my body.

  When I was done washing, I put my clothes on and headed to talk with Sage. She was waiting in the living room for me.

  “Same rules as yesterday,” Sage said, smiling, as I sat down in front of her.

  “Sure.”

  “What css do you have?” she asked, rolling the stone toward me, straight to the point.

  “Mage,” I replied, wondering how the stone would react, but it remained bck. It didn't detect that it wasn’t the full truth, or maybe it was Sage's mistake because she had asked only about one css. Or maybe she did it on purpose, hoping I would answer just as I had done, telling her about the most basic css I had.

  “How many csses do you have?” she asked.

  “Who said I have more than one?”

  “Just a hunch,” Sage replied with a smirk. “Or maybe Tori told me.”

  “Don’t even mention that bitch.”

  “Why? Wouldn’t you want to fuck her again?”

  “No.” The stone shone in white light, detecting it was a lie. Tori was hot, and taking out some frustration on her by fucking her senseless didn’t seem like such a bad idea. Or I could bring her to the edge of an orgasm and make her beg to let her come on my cock.

  Sage giggled. “You might try to lie to yourself, but you can’t lie to the stone. How many csses do you have?” she repeated her question.

  I hesitated, wondering if I should hide this, but it didn't seem that important, especially if she already knew I had more than one. “Three.”

  “Mage, something that lets you ensve people, and the third one?” Sage asked.

  I just shook my head, not answering about my third css or correcting that I can’t ensve people, but only demons.

  “Did Gemma forbid you from telling me?” Sage asked, tilting her head to the side with a curious smile.

  It was an easy question to answer, but since Gemma had forbidden me from revealing this css, Sage would immediately know there was something special about it, not just my personal whim. I couldn’t lie because of the stone, and refusing to answer would be an answer anyway, so I just answered to get rid of part of the debt.

  “Yeah.”

  “How much mana do you have?” Sage asked.

  That was a problematic question. I wasn’t sure if Tori knew this, I couldn’t remember if I had ever talked about it when she might’ve been listening. If Sage already knew, she wouldn’t need to ask… but maybe she just wanted to confirm her information.

  But the real problem was that my mana had increased after Tori left, and if Sage knew my old value, she would realize I had more mana than before. Something that, according to Gemma, is unheard of. That was something I should keep secret from Sage.

  I was overthinking it. If it was truly unheard of, Sage would most likely assume Tori had gotten the information wrong rather than believe my mana had actually increased. Still, to avoid stressing myself about it, I simply shook my head, refusing to answer.

  “What’s the best skill you have?” Sage asked.

  “I don’t know,” I replied, smiling. “It’s hard to tell.” I really wasn’t sure which one of them I would choose, especially with the choice between fighting skills and sex skills.

  “What mission did Gemma give you?”

  “I don't have any at the moment,” I replied, but the stone in my hand shone. “Agh… She told me to grow stronger and learn more about this world,” I expined, and the stone turned bck.

  “Do you want to fuck me?” Sage asked, suddenly changing the topic.

  “Yes,” I replied, happy to pay the debt with such an easy question. Then I rolled the stone toward her. “Do you want it?” I asked.

  “If I wanted to fuck you, I would have already done it,” Sage replied with a cocky grin. “But I don’t rule it out, maybe one day. I’m intrigued.”

  The stone confirmed she was telling the truth, but after she answered, she immediately rolled it back toward me. “Do you want to fuck Gemma?”

  “Yeah.”

  “And what makes you think the leader of the guild, one of the strongest mages alive, would even want to sleep with you?”

  “She made it pretty obvious she’s interested. She kept flirting with me.”

  “She’s flirting with you?” Sage asked, sounding much more excited to hear that than any of my previous answers. “Good to know. And you think she’ll be okay with you sleeping with other women?”

  “She knows how I live, and it didn't stop her,” I replied. “Does she have someone?” I asked, rolling the stone toward Sage.

  “You don’t know but flirt with her?” Sage asked, grabbing the stone.

  “I thought she’s single.”

  “And if she’s not?” Sage asked. “You fuck multiple women, so it would be only fair if she fucks with other guys. Or do you have a problem with it?”

  “I have,” I replied only, not going into details.

  Sage giggled, but I wasn't sure what amused her.

  “She’s single,” she said, but the stone shone with the white light. Sage herself looked at the stone surprised, and the smile vanished from her face. “Ugh… okay, right. It’s… complicated.” She was thinking for a moment, but quickly a wide grin appeared on her pretty face.

  “Oh, she’s going to be pissed,” Sage said, giggling. “She was in a retionship, but her partner vanished. I believe they just ran away, she believes they were kidnapped. So, officially they never broke up, so Gemma is in a retionship, but they haven't seen each other in over twenty years.”

  “Twenty years?” I asked. “So, who’s Virelia's father?”

  “Someone did their homework,” Sage said. She raised the Truth Seeking Stone between us before she replied. “It’s not that person, Vi was conceived after they went missing. And, listen to this, because you’re not fucking going to believe it. I have no clue who her father is.” She brought the stone right up to my face, almost smming her fist into me. It remained completely bck, confirming she was telling the truth.

  “You don't know?” I asked.

  “You have no idea how it bothers me,” Sage replied. “I couldn't sleep for months trying to find out who Gemma fucked. But she wasn’t dating anyone after the kidnapping. Hell, as far as I knew, she doesn’t even fuck with anyone, in grief after losing her loved one, and then bam!” Sage smmed her fist into the table. “She tells me that she’s pregnant. I went crazy!”

  “And you stayed that way till today?” I asked, smiling.

  Sage giggled. “Nice one,” she said. “But you have no fucking idea how many people I investigated. Or how many times I asked Gemma. But she doesn't want to tell me a word. And it fucking pisses me off. We know everything about each other. Beyond that one thing. You don't know, right?” she asked, pushing the stone into my hand, staring at me eagerly, despite it being obvious I had no idea.

  “I don’t know,” I replied.

  “Even Vi doesn’t want to tell me, but I think she knows. Which is super weird, because I was observing both of them, and they don’t meet with anyone who could be Vi’s father. She’s hiding him somewhere, and I still didn't find out where and how.”

  “What if it was a random hookup?” I asked, shrugging.

  “That would be super boring. And random hookups are not her style. And she would’ve told me a long time ago, so I would drop the topic. But no, this is super secret shit, and I must learn the truth. I’ll learn the truth!” she gasped, rising from her chair. “I was out of options, but now I have you! You’ll help me! Find out who Virelia’s father is, and the whole debt is gone. Fuck it, I’ll pay you ten thousand in addition.” She leaned toward me with an eager look in her eyes.

  “Why do you think she’ll tell me? She kept it secret from you for almost twenty years.”

  “Because she flirts with you!” Sage answered loudly. “I haven’t seen her flirt with anyone in twenty-four years. And now you know about Virelia and you have good reason to be worried about her father, and you can ask questions. If she still sees him, who he is, you know the drill.”

  “If it’s super secret shit, I doubt she’ll tell me anyway,” I replied.

  “Then fuck her!” Sage gasped. “Fuck her so hard she’ll let her guard down, and when she’s fucked out of her mind, ask her. Maybe she’ll let something slip. Anything can be important, even if she doesn’t give you a name. Just repeat everything to me, and maybe I’ll know more than you. We can tear the truth out of her this way. She’ll think that by telling you something, you won’t figure anything out because you don’t know enough. But I do!” Sage spoke quickly, leaning closer and closer to me. “Are you going to work for me?!”

  “I’ll talk with her, but I doubt I’ll learn anything,” I replied.

  Sage groaned, tilting her head back. “Fuck, suddenly you know how to negotiate. Okay, I’ll add the house! You want it, don’t you?!” Before I even managed to answer, she kept going. “Fuck, I should speak your nguage!” she gasped. “I’ll be your sex sve for a week. No real colr, but I’ll do anything you fucking want. Deal?!”

  “I’ll talk to her,” I replied, watching her practically lose her mind. I wasn’t sure if she was really serious, ten thousand and a house sounded like a ton of money. But for her, it was probably nothing.

  And becoming my sex sve for a week? Fuck, that sounded hot. Making her do anything that came to my mind. Mine and Zoe’s. That would be an exciting week. But she could be scamming me, and I’d have no way to actually make her keep her part of the deal.

  On the other hand… she really did seem obsessed with finding out who Virelia’s father was, so maybe she was ready to go that far.

  “Great. Perfect. Amazing,” Sage said, straightening. “We must learn the truth!” she gasped, then ran out of the room and out of the house.

  She really was crazy, and so was her obsession with Virelia’s father. I wasn’t sure if I should actually try to get that information from Gemma. Or rather, I did want to know the truth, but I wasn’t sure if I should share it with Sage even if I managed to learn it.

  The money and the house were tempting, but it would be obvious I’d betrayed Gemma. I still had some time before meeting her in the dream world, but I didn’t like the idea of revealing her secrets if she decided to trust me with them.

  And what if this was just a test? Sage and Gemma were close, they could’ve pnned it together. Or Gemma might not even know, maybe it was Sage’s own test, to see if I would sell Gemma’s secrets for money and sex.

  I wasn’t going to share anything with Sage, but that didn’t change the fact that I’d have to talk to Gemma about all of this.

  Anyway, Sage had asked eleven questions, fifty ryns each, and I’d paid back another five hundred and fifty ryns. In total, thirteen hundred and fifty. I still had thirty-six hundred and fifty left to pay. Or seventy-three questions, if that was all she wanted from me.

  I looked at the Truth Seeking Stone Sage had forgotten to take. Could I use it for some fun with Amber? She had an Inspection skill, so she would know what it does… unless she was occupied with something else. Like, for example, my cock in her pussy.

  Or I could disguise it as something else. Maybe I could use my new skill and somehow embed the stone inside the vibrator, so it would work while I was pleasuring her, and then I could ask my questions.

  Nothing serious came to mind that I actually wanted to know, but I could ask some teasing ones. However, it was supposed to be Azura’s night, so maybe I should leave that for the morning. I doubted Sage would come back during the night just for the stone.

  Grinning, I headed back to the room, thinking about all the fun we would have before sleep. And in the morning.
