Chapter 69 #2
“Thank you,” I rasped to Faylinn as she silently cleaned and bandaged Gisei’s and my cuts. “Don’t forget your own,” I said, nodding my head toward the slice on her arm.
Faylinn said nothing, her face a complete stone mask, but her lips quirked slightly. “I can handle a slight slice, General.” She vaguely indicated the scars on her arms—both from creating runes and from the time she couldn’t remember—and I winced both at the action and at her use of my formal name.
What did you expect? You Bonded someone and made her perform the ceremony.
“Now, the Bond will need to be sealed with . . . intimacy. I will check back in a few—”
“Rune Master,” Gisei said, cutting off her attempt to flee.
“Will you please wait in the sitting room in case we need . . . assistance? I know there are Bond Specialists that help with that sort of thing in the temple but, seeing as we’re not at the temple, I would feel more comfortable if you stayed. Just in case.”
Faylinn’s cheeks reddened, but she jerkily nodded her head before gathering her effects from the table, leaving the clear bottle of lube like a lone, mocking statue. The door clicked shut, bathing my bedroom in a blanket of silence.
I quietly willed my dick to rise of its own accord—Lex assured me that’s what happened to him with both his Bonds—but there was no movement downstairs. Not even a twitch.
He did say I may need some more . . . stimulation with a Forced Bond.
Just the thought made me cringe.
The covers rustled and the bed dipped as Gisei moved until she was perched on her knees between my thighs. The blankets still covered my nakedness, but she worked quickly to remove that final barrier.
I glued my eyes to her bent knees, not wanting to actually look at her.
Why don’t I want to see her naked? She’s my Bonded. What is wrong with me?
“Can I . . .” Gisei’s hand flashed in my vision as she gestured to my soft cock. I jerkily nodded my head once and involuntarily tensed at the idea of her hands touching me.
It felt like I was being unfaithful to Faylinn—a woman I’d never fucked, never had a relationship with above or beyond our close friendship. But I couldn’t get the feeling of betrayal out of my head.
I closed my eyes as Gisei’s small, cold palm wrapped around my dick. She squeezed once before tugging on it lightly, testing the weight of me in her palm.
“You’re the largest I’ve ever been with,” she admitted quietly, and I grunted in response, not wanting nor needing to hear her platitudes.
Gisei’s hand worked at my flaccid dick, tugging from root to tip in an effort to get me hard. Her other hand joined at one point, holding me at the base and rolling my balls while the other continued to pull.
I tried desperately to feel something, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t will my dick hard.
This is a disaster.
“Maybe my mouth would help,” Gisei remarked quietly before abandoning her hand on my shaft and adjusting her position so her lips met the crown of my cock.
She kissed it lightly, her tongue feathering over the slit there before pulling me fully into her mouth.
Even soft, I touched the back of her throat, but it was easier for her to swallow around me and massage my shaft with her tongue.
Her mouth moved with expertise precision, every suck and lick belaying experience. But nothing did it. Nothing worked.
At some point, I opened my eyes and watched as her naked back flexed slightly with each bob of her head. When she was like this, I couldn’t see her face and it was easier to pretend that she was someone I wanted.
Minutes passed and an erection never appeared. Eventually she let my now wet dick fall from her mouth before sitting back on her heels. This time, I did let my eyes trail over her body, hoping to spark some sort of lust.
She was thin and pale, her ribs visible through the tightness of her skin.
Her breasts were full, heavy, and completely symmetrical; the rosy tips pointed straight with little sag, and it was evident she’d had a Water Mage augment them for her.
There was nothing wrong with that—she could do with her body as she wished—but I preferred a natural look.
My eyes trailed down and Gisei slowly spread her thighs at my perusal, revealing her bare and glistening pussy.
Why is she aroused, but I can’t get there?
“Do you like to watch, maybe?” she asked as she trailed two fingers down her abdomen until they brushed her mound.
Gisei balanced on her heels before using the fingers on her other hand to spread the lips of her pussy, baring herself to me completely.
She worked her fingers in deft movements over her clit before plunging both inside with no preamble.
Gisei moaned slightly at the intrusion, and I stiffened.
Faylinn heard that. And I’m still not hard.
Angrily, I wiped a hand down my face as Gisei removed her fingers with a sucking sound.
“I’m going to get the Rune Master,” she said. I nodded my head, eyes closed, and heard the door open and close before Gisei’s and Faylinn’s muffled voices trailed inside.
“Rohak?” Faylinn asked, her voice much closer than before. I opened my eyes to see her standing hesitantly in the doorway as Gisei brushed past her and sat heavily on the bed next to me. “Gisei indicated that you may need some . . . help?”
“Clearly,” Gisei said as she gestured to my lap. I expected derision or frustration to bleed through her tone, but there was only a raw kind of acceptance.
“O-Okay,” Faylinn stammered before turning her back to me and closing the door. She paused for a moment, seeming to gather her thoughts, before she spun around, her face a careful mask once more.
Faylinn crossed to the desk and spurted a few pumps of lube onto her hands before rubbing them together. She paused at my side of the bed, her hands held slightly in front of her.
“May I?” she asked, gesturing with her head to my dick.
“Be my guest,” I husked, and my dick twitched slightly as she knelt between my legs.
Great. Now you take interest.
It seemed that Faylinn and I hissed a collective breath as her warm palm wrapped around my shaft. Immediately, I felt the blood rush to my groin, an erection already starting to grow. Faylinn lazily moved her hand up and down my growing cock, swiping her thumb over the tip with every pass.
“Oh,” I groaned as she squeezed the base of my nearly hard cock hard before coasting back up to the tip.
“Gisei, why don’t you touch yourself while I touch Rohak?” Faylinn asked breathlessly.
Is this affecting her like it’s affecting me? A quick glance at her eyes showed blown pupils surrounded by shining hazel. A slight pink blush rose in her light-brown skin, and her teeth captured her bottom lip.
I smirked slightly as she broke eye contact to watch as my dick disappeared and reappeared as she stroked me.
My cock was fully hard now, my balls heavy and tight to my body, as I watched the one woman I desired pump me with her hand.
A few more minutes of this and I’ll come all over her. Mark her as mine.
But she wasn’t mine, and I needed to save that part of the act for my Bonded.
Gisei’s moan broke me from my thoughts, and I turned slightly to see her body shake as she brought herself to orgasm.
At least I won’t be the shitty partner that doesn’t do that.
“I-I think you should try and, uhm, penetrate her, now,” Faylinn said, her hand still moving over my dick.
“Yeah?” I asked and Faylinn hesitantly nodded before squeezing my cock once more and releasing it.
She went to move from the bed, but Gisei’s hand reached out and grabbed her wrist, halting her movements.
“Stay,” she commanded. “Just in case he needs you again.”
Faylinn paused, a torrent of emotions warring in her eyes, before jerkily nodding once. She rose from the bed and retreated to a corner of the room, wiping her hands on a towel as she went.
Gisei positioned her pussy just above my cock before pushing my crown into her tight center. I sucked a breath through my teeth at the sensation and heard Gisei moan. The Bond stirred in my chest at our physical joining, and it only seemed to strengthen and stretch as Gisei began to move her hips.
It felt good now that I was inside her, but that was it. There was no massive rush of emotion that I’d heard can happen when you’re Bonded, no innate desire for the woman writhing on top of me, her pants growing more intense and moans breathier.
It was just sex.
My palms instinctively went to her waist, and I gripped her hips tightly before moving her up and down on my cock with a much more punishing pace. She yelped as I slammed her down hard on my dick, impaling her all the way, but the yelp turned into a moan as she ground her clit over my pubic bone.
At least I can still bring her pleasure.
We moved like that for minutes, me directing Gisei’s hips as she moved until I felt her pussy clamp down on me as she cried out, her body shuddering with her orgasm. Now that her needs were seen to, I wanted to get this over with as fast as possible.
But no matter how hard I concentrated, no matter how fast or brutally I moved Gisei, I couldn’t come. The instinct just wasn’t there; I felt a tingling, sure. But there was no desire to release.
“S-s-stand where he can see you,” Gisei breathily called to Faylinn, gesturing with her hand for the Rune Master to move closer.
I heard Faylinn mutter a low curse before her boots scratched against the floor.
My eyes looked over Gisei’s shoulder to lock directly with the intelligent hazel orbs I loved so much.
Instantly, I felt my release barreling through me and my cock stiffened before I came inside Gisei with a guttural roar.
But the pleasure wasn’t hers.
It was for the woman standing at the door, her beautiful eyes flooded with tears and unspeakable pain.
Gisei cried out before slumping to the other side of the bed in a sweaty pile, cum slipping from her pussy to land on my leg and sheets. Vaguely, I recognized the sound of my bedroom door opening and closing before the bang of my exterior door shook the walls of my bedroom.
I lay in my bed for a moment before grabbing one of the towels Faylinn left on the table and wiped myself, before cleaning Gisei.
This part—the caring of another person—I could do; I just didn’t think I could be intimate with her again. The Bond was solidified and strong within my chest, so there was no need to have sex again anyway.
I opened my mouth to tell her my feelings about it all, but she held up a hand, still panting from exertion.
“I don’t think I can do that again, Mage,” she admitted, and I slumped both in relief and embarrassment.
“Gisei, I am sorry. I wish—”
“I’m sure you wish a lot of things, General d’Alvey, and I understand why you need me and what my role is.
But I do not want to give my body to a man who is thinking of another the whole time.
” There was no hatred or malice in her words, just understanding, and I finally flicked my eyes to her honey-brown ones.
She quirked a small smile as I blew out a breath.
“Thank you,” I said, truly meaning it.
“Have you told her? Does she know?” Gisei asked, and I barked a laugh.
“No on both accounts.”
Gisei hummed thoughtfully as she stretched on the bed before reaching for her clothes.
“From my vantage point, it’s fairly obvious she holds the same affection for you that you do for her. The question is, though, what are you going to do about it?” she sagely asked before slipping into my bathroom, closing the door with a click.
She does? I’d hoped Faylinn felt for me the way I felt for her, but now it seemed like there were too many obstacles to overcome, even if that were true.
She probably hates me now.
And she’d be completely justified if that were the case.
