On Astral Tides: From Humble Freelancer To Astral Emperor

“So, how was it?” Shiro asked, as Miyu, Michiru and I entered the main cabin that the girls were occupying. While on the deck the band played on, Tillyae and her weaselkin certainly showing the benefits of their rigorous training, my women had retired here, probably awaiting the outcome of Miyu’s and Michiru’s first times, judging by the question.

Beside Shiro, Kana smiled ruefully, before shooting me a cheeky wink. Her face was slightly pink, and I knew she’d been through the same interrogation. Although… Miyu had a very serious expression on her face now, at odds to the relaxed, expressive smile she wore earlier, and even Michiru was on her best behaviour.

“I confess to being greatly satisfied.” Miyu politely responded, and Michiru nodded, her crimson scarf not hiding her face this time.

“Then…” Shiro glanced at Eri, who nodded. “Akio, we need to have a woman-to-woman chat with the two of them. But…” She smiled over at Hyacinth, who was watching on with some amusement. “…I know you wanted to spend some time with Hyacinth tonight. Go have some fun, and we’ll join you later if there’s time.” Eri’s tail lashed as she spoke. “Though it’ll soon be dawn, and you have a busy day ahead of you, so it’s probably unlikely. Don’t worry about us, we’ll make our own entertainment, I assure you.”

I nodded, and Hyacinth stood. She was still in her usual maid outfit, though since it was just women on the boat, it was her risqué version with the skirts so short I could see her purple panties if she moved carelessly. “Yes, we shall leave the mistresses tooo talk.” Her violet gaze narrowed as she strode over, and Miyu and Michiru froze, only to relax as Hyacinth reached out and patted their heads reassuringly. Under her raw League and Charm, both of them flushed, Michiru’s legs fidgeting restlessly.

Even I felt it. Hyacinth was a vast repository of adherence, more than even the first time, and while it was still scooping ladles out of the bucket that was the wellspring of tainted energies beneath Rebun Island, if Hyacinth continued to extract and convert it using her Wheel Of Creation And Wisdom, Destruction And Chaos, coupled with her nature as a Grey Fae, she could reach the pinnacle of power alongside such beings as Mae in her prime or Nurarihyon. I’m both excited and fearful about that day…

I understand. Hyacinth’s affectionate thoughts sounded. None should wield such power recklessly. And… you have seen the worst of me. Broken, regretful, hateful. But now I wish…

Don’t worry. Even the worst of you, as you put it, will always have my trust. And every day I see a new best Hyacinth. No, it’s just… with such great power, the burden on you will be huge…

It will indeed. But through failures do we understand the path to avoiding such in the future. And I shall not fail again. I know what power is for now. And… you are not her. Though you do have some conflict with your parents. Though it still seems strange to me. But I know enough to understand humans do not see the world the same way we Fae do…

I could only answer that with affectionate silence, and Hyacinth spoke to the tense Miyu and Michiru. “Welcome, new mistresses. While I dooo not applaud your initial approach, your hearts are pure. They are, are they nooot?”

“Absolutely.” Miyu spoke for them both, but Michiru nodded frantically as though her head was on a spring. “And once more Michiru and I thank you for your understanding and support.” The two of them bowed very deeply, and this amused Hinata, probably because of how Miyu used to stand so far above her in the past. “We both understand just what it is to be Akio’s woman. Fortunately…” She beamed at me, her black eyes bright. “…Akio is a man of boundless understanding. But I know such understanding cannot be exploited. We will bow to your guidance, and take in all advice offered.”

“Yes, strangely enough, I find you trustworthy.” Eri snorted, and beside her my sis burst out into a fit of the giggles, only laughing harder as Eri scowled. “What?” she grumbled, cat ears flickering in irritation.

“Oh, just contrasting how bitter you were when Motoko, Natsumi and Hinata blew into Nishimorioka. Now you’re welcoming!”

As Miyu and Michiru were a bit thrown off by the bickering, Hyacinth and I exchanged an amused smile. I patted Miyu and Michiru on their heads, and murmured that this sort of derailment was normal, and half the fun of spending time with such a large group of opinionated women.

“Of which I suppose we shall be part of…” Miyu whispered back. “…I am rather well-behaved, but Michiru… I shall have to keep an eye on her, to ensure she does not cause too much trouble.”

I snorted at that. Michiru certainly was a little troublemaker, or rather, she was so true to her desires she often didn’t know how to hold back, but Miyu was hardly a restraining influence. If anything, her desires were just as wild, as evidenced by our first time, mere minutes ago.

“I would not. Akio-sama, Miyu-sama is being mean to me! Punish her by impregnating me while she can only watch, envious and regretful!”

“Nooot so fast.” Hyacinth chuckled. “Creating a child should not be dooone for such reasons. Now, be tranquil.”

“I think I was quite welcoming to them… wasn’t I?” Eri asked the girls in question defensively, and Motoko nodded.

“You were hurting, our selfishness caused that. But you still genuinely gave us advice and did not block our happiness. So now…” Motoko smiled at Miyu and Michiru. “…none of us would do any worse than Eri did, for less cause. Miyu, it still shocks me, seeing you here, despite everything that has happened.”

“I know.” Hinata giggled. “Of course, Miyu joining has shaken up a lot of people. It’ll reshape the landscape at Hanafubuki. I foresee a new wave of Adamant recruits. We might even be able to get our hands on more daughters of the Fifty-Eight whose parents have been opposed. But we’re not here to talk about boring matters like that now…”

“Indeed.” Hyacinth gently pushed Miyu’s and Michiru’s backs, urging them towards the group. “Gooo talk with your new sisters. If there are any proooblems, they can be dealt with. And if you feel overwhelmed, come speak to Hyacinth. I will always listen tooo you, and steer you away from the wrong path. With wooords, or if I must…” Her League was suddenly spiking, and most of the group went pale, feeling oppressed. “…I shall not hesitate to do what needs to be dooone this time. Understand?”

In an instant her presence was that of kind, loving Hyacinth again, and as Miyu and Michiru steadied their steps, the girls received them.

“Quite the display.” Haru shook her head. “If I wasn’t already dead, that might have given me a heart attack. In fact, it was so scary I nearly came back to life, my heart restarting like I was defibrillated.” Her joke had a rather more teasing edge than her usual quips about being dead, a good sign, and it seemed spending time with everyone was beneficial for her. “Don’t worry, there are no falsehoods in their hearts anymore.”

Miyu bowed. “Yes. I was… disrespectful. But it was through fear, not ill-intentions.”

“Yes, Miyu-sama was only doing the best she could!” Michiru insisted stoutly, and Yu-mi nodded.

“I understand it. It seemed a good idea to those without much experience of how the world, nor relationships, work, a way to move things forward. But you do get it now, yes?”

As Miyu sat down, Michiru beside her, she nodded. She then cast a glance at me, before facing them all and bowing her head. “Yes. It was far more wonderful than even I had dreamed of. I will not lose that joy through my own lack of effort or through reckless selfishness. Michiru is the same.” At her emphatic nod, Miyu continued. “We accepted your rebukes, your counsel. And we know, to be loved by Akio, to love him in turn, is a privilege that we must constantly strive to be worthy of, and we must work on ourselves to be better, every day.”

“See?” Eri crossed her arms triumphantly, smirking at my sis. “This is why noble girls are good. When they finally become honest, they know what’s important, and they understand how to fit in.”

“A dig at me, huh? Wow, Eri, you’ve grown bold!” Aiko shot back. “I don’t hate it, but…”

“All right, enough.” Natsumi soothed, proving Eri right, in a way. “Miyu and Michiru have joined us now, so let’s celebrate. It’s been a good day.” She winkled at Kana, who flushed.

“Yes, it was magical.” Kana agreed, before playfully teasing Miyu and Michiru. “A better day for Akio though. Three beauties, all now his. So…”

As they started bantering and teasing each other, Hyacinth took my hand, and with bright, contented smiles, we slipped out of the cabin, heading for another room. It was a much smaller, but still luxurious cabin, very similar in outlook to where I’d taken the relationship with Miyu and Michiru to the next level. As she went to get us drinks, I shook my head, and pushed her down onto the bed. Only to sit, however. I then pressed my lips to hers, and we kissed passionately, tongues tangling.

“So bold. Are you that eager tooo taste Hyacinth? Despite, as mistress Kana said, you enjoying three new mistresses fully this day?”

She was pouting a little with jealousy, which was utterly adorable, so we kissed again, me stroking her head gently, and when we parted, our lips damp and tasting of each other, I grinned. “I’m always eager to taste you, and everyone else. I’m a sinful man indeed, but…” We kissed one more time. “…the fruits of sin are sweet, and I could never give them up now. And since nobody wishes me to… well, an Emperor must be greedy, within reason.”

“Indeed, a ruler must rule. But toooooo much greed is poison.” Hyacinth warned gently. “Yet… it is not just greed, Hyacinth knows.” She winked playfully, and made to stand, but I held her down by the shoulder tenderly.

“It’s true, I want to make everyone happy. That’s also part of my greed. And tonight… or this morning…” The skies were faintly brightening, showing it would soon be the dawn. Looks like I’ll have to content myself with just you now, Hyacinth.

“That is wise. Everyone wishes tooo talk. Mistress Miyu and mistress Michiru, they are… unique… among us. But… we know. You have won their hearts fully. Sooo…” she patted my head as if I was a child, which, in a way, to an ancient Fae like Hyacinth, who had seen so much, I was.

No. I am forever eighteen, remember? Her teasing thought echoed, as it was faster than words, and it was hard to speak as our tongues and lips met yet again, Hyacinth instigating, her full breasts straining at the cloth of her maid attire, squishing against me, a heavenly sensation. But I do still like to comfort you.

Your presence always… “…comforts me.” I finished with words as our damp lips parted. “It’s why, despite everything Duke Formor did, I really can’t bring myself to hate him now he’s on our side, since he sent you to us, and without you, our lives would be poorer. To that end…” I kept pressing her down. “…how about a role reversal? I know you enjoy serving, but… I think it would be fitting to treat you to some service of your own, just this once. Since you have been working so hard, while everyone else gets to play.”

“It is my pleasure. I dooo it because I can, and it benefits us all. And… the sorrow, the rage, the hatred, the malice, the… regret… it is all toooooo familiar to me. It does not erase my failures, a success here, but… it does feel like my burdens lessen a little each time. And I can aid you too, my Akio.” When her switch was flipped to mistress mode, as I called it in my head, Hyacinth was gentle, clingy and passionate, and it was again the gap between that and her usual behaviour which made it strike my heart so.

“You shall need much adherence.” Hyacinth added, her expression soft and tender, matching the feel of her chest. “I knooow it will be hard for you, taking Favours, but… trust that it is all for the best.”

“I do. Doesn’t make it much easier though.” I sighed, before setting that aside. “But that’s still a few hours away. Right now… you’re all that’s on my mind.” I assured her. Yes. Spending time with, loving Kana was magical, and there will be many more dates, and much more love, in our futures. Likewise, now matters with Miyu and Michiru are settled, while I’m sure they’ll have their troubles, the others will help them adjust and keep them grounded, so…

“So let me treat you as a mistress tonight. A well-deserved reward.”

“Very well.” Hyacinth giggled, releasing me, before her violet eyes sparkled wickedly. “Be warned, you knooow I judge the quality of service from the servants mooost harshly.”

“That you do.” I chuckled. “Though now, most of the servants don’t run when they see you coming. Just Azuki.”

“That little lazy child.” Hyacinth sniffed, though there was no rancour in her tone. “She doooes not know how to work. That Favour suits her perfectly. Yet… she waits for the children. Mistress Asha’s, and others yet tooo be born. That is her time. Then, Hyacinth shall judge her.”

“I am sure she’ll be just thrilled to hear that.” I chuckled. “Now then, does mistress care for champagne?”

“Yes. Alhough…” Hyacinth trilled with gentle laughter, her expression wicked. “…I have high standards fooor the taste. Glass taints it. I wish it served in your vessel.”

“As mistress commands!” I bowed with a flourish, before taking a bottle from the fridge, popping the cork, and then taking a swig. Holding it in my mouth, I once more pressed my lips to hers, and Hyacinth swallowed.

“Not bad.” she declared, licking her lips. “But I still have a thirst which needs quenching. Dooo continue.”

“Of course.” I bowed again, before repeating our champagne-fuelled kiss several times, Hyacinth growing bolder and more playful with each mouthful, and soon it was more kissing than helping her drink mouth-to-mouth. Once we’d emptied the bottle of champagne, I made my next suggestion.

“Perhaps mistress would like to change?” I produced the silver dress and purple cardigan I’d bought her, as well as the pink and purple gym clothes, my storage discharging shimmering sparks of spatial energy, and I laid them out on the bed. “I can assist. You would look magnificent in both, I assure you.”

“Oh, how interesting. Yes, by all means, Akio, dooo dress me. I shall not insist on being washed beforehand, for I did bathe, and…” she glanced at the porthole. “…time is fleeting.” Even for those of us who have seen so much.

Hardly. You’re what, barely eighteen?

Our mental teasing went the opposite way to last time. Stepping close, I began to unfasten the clasps on the back of Hyacinth’s top, and as I gently eased it off, her breasts came into view, wrapped in a violet bra, which was straining under her destructive chest, which was second only to Mae and Hana.

“Dooo fold it properly!” she instructed, and I did so, placing it down on the bed, before reaching for the back of her bra, and with a click, it was undone. Hyacinth smiled at me playfully, and as I removed her bra, breasts bouncing free, I nodded at the silver dress.

“You’ll look wonderful in that, but… the way it’s cut, this bra’s no good for it.”

“I see. Hyacinth thinks you simply wish to take advantage ooof me. A servant should be careful of overstepping, but… since it is you, I shall allow it!” As I set the bra aside, I admired Hyacinth’s flawless body. With her skin a somewhat pale, but now healthy shade, she was certainly beautiful, but…

“What is it?” she asked, seeing my complicated expression, and as I reached for the clasp on her skirt, I shook my head.

“Juist thinking you’re beautiful, Hyacinth. But you always were. Even when you had that grey pallor, you were stunning. It was… oddly striking, in a way.”

“I see.” She beamed benevolently. “Servant, mistress needs a hug!” She held out her arms, and I squeezed against her, smelling her fragrance, feeling her softness. As she cradled me in her arms, her eyes shone with elemental energies, sending ripples of silver through her irises, and what she said next astonished me.

“I am still her. For the darkness is a part ooof Hyacinth, as is the light. If you wish it, I can be either, ooor both, for you!”

“I see. Does it cause you pain or sorrow?” I asked, and she shook her head.

“No. It is simply a matter of… perspective. Nooothing in this world is fully black, nor fully white. I embrace the grey. Because you gave me a name, and because… only in grey can I be true to myself, and to yooou.”

“Just be what you want to be. It was just my selfishness. You had a dark, haunting beauty then. Now… now your beauty is pure, almost holy.” She released the hug, and I finally removed her skirt, setting it aside carefully, and Hyacinth made no effort to cover her rich, voluptuous figure.

“That might be the adherence.” Hyacinth giggled. “I am nooot holy, I assure you. No, I have done much ill, brought much woe, in my… short…” I grinned at her insistence. “…life. But when with you, with everyone else, I feel like I can dooo good, sow weal, once more. I wonder if it is right for me tooo be so happy, considering…”

I silenced her with a forceful kiss. Our teeth clashed, and her lip was torn, and I tasted copper and a stranger, almost verdant flavour. When we separated, I pressed my finger to her lips, which had healed, only a trace of blood left to mar their perfect plumpness. “It all starts with us being happy. Only if we know joy, contentment, can we bring it to others. Now, I may be speaking out of turn for a servant…”

“Yes, yooou most certainly are…” she teased, as I grabbed her silver dress, as she rose from the bed, allowing me to pull it over her body. It was a tight-fitting, classy yet daring gown, so to dress her I had to touch her in many intimate places, which was a pleasure for both of us.

“…and you are mooost handsy too. But this mistress…” she patted her chest, now wrapped in sparkling silver silk, her cleavage displayed proudly. “…seems to have a penchant for dallying with her ooone and only servant.”

Ignoring her cheerful teasing, I stared into her eyes, grey into violet, unwilling to concede the point. “I’m still going to insist you listen. Because… you deserve happiness. And even if you didn’t, I’d still see you got it, and Eri would, Shaeula, everyone. Even Miyu and Michiru would support you now, I’m sure. But most of all… I love you, Hyacinth, and I’ll be damned if anyone I love is going to have an unhappy life.”

“How bold. I concede defeat.” Hyacinth concentrated, and her skin darkened, returning to that pale grey of old, her hair shifting from violet to black, only a few streaks remaining with the green. Her eyes though, they remained a pure, vivid violet, and seemed to stare deep into my soul. “And yes, I see. These…” She pointed to the cute pink and purple sportswear, dolphin shorts and a tight t-shirt. “…suit Hyacinth as she has become. This dress, hooowever… yes, it looks perfect on me now. You… accept all of me. The light, the dark, the blending ooof both…”

“And I always will. Damn, you’re absolutely stunning.” I bent down and removed her shoes, kissing her feet gently, playfully licking at her toes, which made her giggle and shiver. I then placed a pair of violet heels upon her, before taking the cardigan, wrapping it around her shoulders, and buttoning it below her chest. Glancing down, Hyacinth tittered.

“You truly are a man who likes breasts, Akio. It is fooortunate I am so blessed.” She’d noticed the way I had placed the cardigan only emphasised her assets.

“Hey, I like Shaeula’s and Motoko’s more modest ones too. It’s not the breasts I love, it’s the women they are attached to. Now then… more champagne?” I teased, and Hyacinth shook her head.

“No. Sooomthing stronger.” She produced a bottle of Fae brandy from her own storage in a flash of purple so reminiscent of her eyes, before winking slowly. “I wooould not have the glass taint this potent brew.” She then tilted the bottle to me, and, after taking a swig myself, savouring the rich flavour, I filled my mouth and kissed Hyacinth, letting the Fae liquor flow into her mouth. As her throat worked, a thin trickle spilled out from her lips, down her chin, her neck, and pooled in her cleavage. I pushed her to the bed, and greedily licked it off, savouring the feel of my tongue on her cool flesh.

“How… forceful. But… I looove that.” Hyacinth purred.

“Yes, so… let me keep spoiling you.” I patted her head, and started stroking her hair, almost as if combing it with my fingers, as a maid would do for her mistress. “I’ll make you writhe and gasp in pleasure.”

“First, we must become as ooone…” Hyacinth insisted, her adherence rising. “…I wish to give much of this to you. You shall need it. For the Favooours.”

“Yes.” I kissed her lips softly, and utilising the ability I’d understood when I made love to Miyu, I connected to her root and lunar Chakras not directly, but through ephemeral bonds, though, with Hyacinth… I see. Instead of doing it the usual way, I could do it through Lovers’ Link, and not just that…

“Hyacinth…” her eyes widened in astounded shock, as my energies began to flood into her. Not through the root and up to her lunar Chakra, but… Chakra to Chakra, all of them, Lovers’ Link not merely connecting us through our spirits, but allowing us to touch everywhere we wanted, we needed. Not only that, but it was giving a higher intensity of feedback, and as Hyacinth reciprocated, I reached up under her dress and grasped her panties, tugging them down. She opened her legs, making it easy, as the tumultuous energies flooded through us, and I could feel resonance from the stroking of my fingers on her legs.

Adherence was pouring through too, and Hyacinth, with determined will, prevented much of it from flowing back to her, so it started pooling within me. I felt a pressure within, the urge for something to bloom, to ignite, but heeding Tan’s advice, and Rose’s, Lin’s too, I diverted the raw, unflavoured adherence Hyacinth had created away from there, spreading it out, containing it. Even as I did so, I pushed up the silver gown, exposing Hyacinth’s rich thighs, then her pussy, a clean, knifelike slit, which was leaking already, a rich, grassy scent, to match the small thicket of purple pubic hair she had above, neatly trimmed.

“How… simply wooonderful.” Hyacinth declared, as our merging lunar Chakras burned more fiercely than ever. Amber letters blinked in my vision momentarily…

You have gained the Skill, Two Selves, One Whole Rank 1. This Skill has been subsumed into Kin Bonding And Restoration.

This Skill allows Bonds between two beings, which contain significant strength and transmissibility, to be repurposed to carry the effect of other Bonds and Connections, and reduces the resistance of sharing Aether, Adherence, Elemental energies, Soullight and other energies through such Connections. There is…

I blinked those away, planning to check them later, and as I pushed my tongue to Hyacinth’s pussy, lapping at her gently, my hand teasing her clit, my other on her ass, squeezing and kneading it as Hyacinth moaned, dazed and exhilarated, more invasive letters surged forth.

Your Class, Bondweaver, has increased from Level Fifteen to Level Sixteen…

That’s great, but… not now. I’m busy!

… … …

Ignoring the dots of amber which floated through my vision like the aura before a migraine, my tongue continued savouring Hyacinth’s pussy, teasing the entrance, licking inside as she twitched and drooled, even slurping up to toy with her clit alongside my fingers. What was stranger was, I could feel Hyacinth’s pleasure, it was a ghostly yet potent sensation, tingling on parts I didn’t have. Hyacinth was melting, and she grabbed the hand that was on her ass, bringing it to her breasts, which I groped fiercely after pulling down the silver silk, even as I kept licking at her most sensitive spots. After a while of groping, Hyacinth groaned, seizing my hand again and lifting it to her mouth. She began to suck on my fingers, tongue and lips wrapping around them as if they were my cock, and it made me shiver.

“Hyacinth, I want you to… hah… cum for me!” I muttered, tongue now buried deep inside her, my mouth pressed against her lower lips. I licked her wriggling, sopping walls, working out where she felt it best, and she convulsed, damp liquid scattering. Her own tongue was teasing my fingers, and as her clit grew more engorged and sensitive, I knew it was only a matter of time until Hyacinth climaxed.

“I am… Hyacinth is… in looove with you, Akio! Master! Husband! Ah… such… ahn… hah…. ooopposites!”

Hyacinth convulsed, pussy gripping my tongue. I felt it, not just in her closing, twitching walls, or the gush of her nectars, or how her mouth clamped my finger as hard as her lower mouth squeezed my probing tongue. No, it was like a phantom orgasm, and my cock pulsed, nearly spewing semen from the odd sensation. Our energies were swirling like an uncontrolled maelstrom, stronger than ever before, and as Hyacinth came again, my tongue prolonging and intensifying her ecstasy, the feeling returned, and I oozed precum, my cock twitching eagerly, desperate to become one with Hyacinth. I then gasped, as my cock, sadly out of reach of Hyacinth’s arms in this position, was suddenly enveloped by a warm touch. I expanded my vision, to see Hyacinth’s hair had extended, her wood element treating it like the vines she grew.

“I cannot be… ahn… the ooonly one to experience such… joy, ahn. Besides… I am… curious, ahn… ah… ah… to… experience this ooodd sensation I feel… like… Hyacinth has… this.” Her hair tightened, like a dozen fingers stroking and squeezing me all at once, and as my tongue slipped free from her oozing pussy, Hyacinth’s taste lingering, I couldn’t resist any longer. Pushing her down, I slammed my dick into her hole, which was opening and closing, leaking nectar, begging for fulfilment, and Hyacinth shifted her tanging hair, so that, even as I thrust deep inside her, knocking against her innermost places, which wriggled and twitched, eager for my cum, she was squeezing and stroking me.

“Yes, take care of Hyacinth… fooorever! Ahn, hah… ah… my… ahn… Akio!” She was moaning and gasping in time to each of my thrusts. Her hair snaked down over her clit, rubbing at that too, and the jolting pleasure ripped through us both, and Lovers’ Link was pulsing, thickening. My hand slipped from her mouth as she groaned, and I groped her breasts, pinching her erect nipples, and she leaned in for a kiss. We came together, and moments later, she shuddered with another orgasm, and I thought I would join her, but her hair tightened, somehow expertly constricting the flow. I ejaculated the barest trickle, my dick hot like it was an iron bar fresh from the furnace, my balls boiling, and even with all the sex I’d had earlier, I was desperate to cum. I adored making love to Kana for the first time. But I wanted to make it wonderful for her, so I had to work hard. The same was true for Michiru and Miyu, though… their odd fetishes made it rather easier on me. I’m not complaining, I’d never complain about this. I’ve had such wonderful fulfilment with them, but…

With experienced me, you have no need to try, just… indulge yourself in me.

I’m supposed to be pampering you…

And pampered I feel. I am with my master, my lover, my husband, and you are so eagerly, so desperately, seeking my love…

As our thoughts raced, time seemed to slow down, each tangled kiss, each thrust, each squeeze, each drip of nectar or my own liquids, felt by us both so clearly.

…how can I not feel fulfilled, treasured, pampered?

“So yield… ahn… hah… your seed tooo me, your… ahn… ah… love with it. For I will… hah… ahn… give you all I… ahh, mmm… am, fooorever and… hah…always!” Hyacinth dragged out her last word as I thrust deeply into her again, shifting the angle, guided by her stroking, grasping hair, and her body convulsed, as did I. I let out a matching cry into her mouth, tongues and breaths mingling too, and I was gushing, and exploding, the pleasures of our twin climaxes merging.

Cum poured into Hyacinth, and her body gulped eagerly at it, as she did at my saliva, and the flow wouldn’t stop. Soon her thighs were a mess, but her clenching pussy and gripping hair wouldn’t let me off that easily, and so, now with our hands together, fingers entwined like the lovers we were, I continued to piston back and forth, until every last drop I’d recovered from my lovemaking earlier was spent, and Hyacinth had endured another piercing wave of pleasure. Her gaze was languid, her kisses starting to become gentler, more pecks and caresses than fierce twisting and licking.

“That was… intense.” I breathed at last, my cock starting to shrink inside her, though with an exhausted grin, Hyacinth clenched her ass, tightening up, stroking me teasingly.

“Indeed, it was. Hyacinth enjoyed it greatly, Akio. I looove you, you know?”

“I do. I hope you know I feel the same way… wait…” I paused, a grin springing to my lips. “You called me your husband. Is that… is that the first time?”

“Maybe, I dooo not remember for certain. Life is so… so busy now.” Hyacinth continued to playfully squeeze me with her pussy as we hugged, nectar and cum drooling from her. “But that is the life I desire. Before… I was one of the mistresses, yes, never doooubt that. Your words and love moved me, saved me. But I could never be truly what you wished of me, a looover, a wife. Not while I was not truly united with myself.”

“I see.” I nodded, and Hyacinth pushed my head down, so I was resting on her breasts. “But… you remember everything now, don’t you?”

“Yes. I dooo. Now… I can truly say Hyacinth is who I am, not merely who Hyacinth was. I still have… regrets. But regardless of those, I shall live with you forever. Whatever the end brings.”

“And I’m grateful. But don’t despair. I give you my Oath, that you’ll always be loved and cherished by me, that I’ll aid you in any way I can, to resolve your regrets, and…” I took a deep breath, the weight of what I was saying tangling in with the bonds which still connected us, the flow of energies still radiating, sharing our innermost, deepest secrets. “…I swear, we’ll succeed in saving who you want to save. After all, you were her Governess, her Brownie, her… friend, weren’t you?”

Hyacinth sadly shook her head. “Friend? As much as anyooone could be. But it is hard for we Fae to overcooome our natures. Now though…” Her skin returned to its slightly pale but healthy hue, her hair shining a rich purple, threaded with green, once more. “…I realise all is change. To create, to destroy, to repair, tooo unweave… so long as our feelings endure, what does it matter?” She gently stroked my head, her fingers deft. “I hear your Oaths, but do not need them. Because simply three does not fit the depths of our connections, our hearts, doooes it?”

“You’re right.” I agreed. “And that’s what a true relationship is. Every action we take, every smile, every reassurance, every kiss, every… time we make love…” Hyacinth’s pussy clenched again, and my cock had grown hard once more, though even with my Soullight Healing frantically replenishing my semen stocks, I doubted I could shoot more than the barest trickle now.

That will suffice. You are too greedy, Akio. Hyacinth’s thought was wryly amused. That would be what an ordinary human unleashes, yes?

True. I guess I’ve got used to my superhuman stats… but I’m grateful for them. Else I’d never have been able to have a wonderful night like tonight, which will join the growing list of night’s I will never, ever forget.

“Nooor I.” Hyacinth agreed, a soft kiss her true answer. Then, she finally pulled away, more liquids oozing from her as my dick popped free. She glanced down at the silver gown she was still wearing around her waist as the fabric had been bunched up to expose her breasts and pussy, her cardigan unbuttoned and dishevelled. She wrinkled her nose, and smirked, even as the sharing of our Chakras finally unwound, the great tide of adherence within her cut by perhaps half, the rest in my possession.

“You bought me such beautiful clooothes. Now they shall have to be laundered. Ordinarily, they wooould be ruined, unsalvagable…” Her smile was now wicked again. “…cum stains dooo not come out from silk. Yet I am a Brownie, as much as I am a Boggart, and as much as I am simply Hyacinth, your wife. I shall restore them later.” She vanished them into her ring. “Fortunately…”

“Yeah.” I agreed, glancing at the other clothes I’d laid out for her. “We have spares. Let me dress you…” I cut off as Hyacinth bent down, wrapping her lips around my dick, her hair now crawling over my body, teasing and tantalising me.

“First, I want anooother drink. Fresh from the source…” And as her tongue began to lap at my glans, teasing the underside, and her hands squeezed my overstressed balls, her prehensile hair, like her vines, playing with my nipples, my tongue and more, I let out a dry chuckle, and lay back, letting her have her fun.

Fine then. I did say I’d pamper you, and if you want it, I’ll let you milk me as much as you desire.

How simply wonderful. Yes, let me take care of everything. After all, what wife cannot soothe her husband’s fatigue? I shall leave you freshly emptied and brewing up a new batch, for tonight. I daresay you shall need some relief then too…

“That’s true… ah… damn, you’re amazing. You’ve grown so skilled…” I gasped out loud, and then, for the next few minutes, all that could be heard in the room were wet slurping noises, and my increasingly erotic moans…

“You look magnificent.” The light of dawn was seeping through the porthole, and the yacht had docked back at its berth. After Hyacinth’s wicked blowjob, which had indeed wrung every last drop out of me, we’d showered, where, once she’d been cleaned out, I’d brought her to orgasm through cunnilingus, a rather interesting experience with the water of the shower falling all around us, then I’d dressed her in the tight t-shirt and shorts, which with her beauty and figure… “Seriously, if you went jogging like that, you’d cause traffic to crash. I can barely keep my eyes off you.”

“Oh, you flatter me tooooo much.” Hyacinth giggled, face slightly pink, a stark difference to usual. “I know your words are truth, though, as yooou did dress me very carefully.” She raised her ass, and I grinned, remembering how I’d groped that, her thighs, and her breasts, as I put on her underwear, then the shorts and t-shirt.

“Yeah, it was too good a chance to miss. Now then, we’ve been up all night again.” I yawned, though it was more mental exhaustion than physical, though my manhood did sting a little, honestly, though that was probably psychosomatic. “Let’s go back to the Palace, grab breakfast, then… no use putting it off.”

As Hyacinth nodded, there was a knock on the door, and I could tell it was Eri. I sent her permission, and she opened the door, to reveal she was with Miyu and Michiru. Both of them had solemn expressions on their faces, and I realised they’d been watching and listening, a feat not too difficult for them, as Ellie had access to the control room, and there were cameras and microphones set up. Not that it bothered us. We knew.

Michiru was the first to speak. She rushed up to Hyacinth, and took her hand, expression enraptured. “Hyacinth-sama, I respect you so much! You and I, we are the same, servants, dedicated to serving Akio-sama with our bodies and hearts to the fullest! I hope you can offer me guidance, and be kind to Miyu-sama…”

“And yooou…” Hyacinth added, and Michiru flushed.

“I would not ask such a boon, yet… to deny you would be disrespectful. Please guide and advise me, Hyacinth-sama!”

“I shall. But if you choose to be a servant, remember, Hyacinth is very harsh ooon poor performance. Though if you choose to be Akio’s lover, that… has but ooone rating, that of how much love you give and receive.”

“I understand!” Michiru added, and as the two of them bonded, Eri and Miyu came to me.

“Everyone else disembarked. Breakfast will be ready soon. You need to change though…” Eri sniffed, her Bakeneko senses keen. “You’ve showered, yes, but the scent of the room lingers on you.”

Before I could answer, Miyu stepped in, her smile embarrassed. “Akio, I was naïve. No, I understood, but my vision was still too narrow. Having witnessed Hyacinth’s true love for you, and the reverse, I assure you… I shall never do anything but give you my undying affection. And Michiru and I will never cause you to harbour doubts about our commitment to you. To do so would be to be pathetic. Rest assured, our love for you is deep, and together, we will ensure you enjoy us both to the fullest…” She went to bow, but I stopped her, then kissed her, and as her onyx eyes widened, she reciprocated, and when we parted, she seemed a little confused, so I reassured her.

“Don’t worry. I understand. I can’t say I don’t get a twinge of jealousy when I see you and Michiru look at each other with love, but… since I see the same in your eyes, I’m not that petty. But…” My teasing smile made Miyu’s heart race, as she flushed. “…I will continue to indulge in you both, until I’m as firmly engraved in your hearts as Michiru is in yours, and you in hers.”

“Bold words.” Miyu fanned at her face, as Michiru demanded a kiss too, panting like a dog, and after we had shared one, I didn’t want to leave Eri out, so Miyu snickered as she spoke through a parade of my kisses. “But I think perhaps you have already succeeded. No, we understand our place, and our good fortune. We will never be the ones to disappoint you.”

“Don’t overthink it.” I patted her head playfully. “Our love has only just begun. And it’ll grow, like we’ll keep growing. Now then…” My stomach rumbled, showing how famished I was. “Let’s all grab breakfast, yeah? No doubt you’ll want to see your parents, your grandfather in your case, Miyu, though… damn, how am I going to face Takeshi-san? Did you really text him that, Michiru?” I asked, hoping against hope she was pranking me, but as expected, the proud Michiru puffed out her modest chest, and cried out that she did indeed make it clear that every inch of her body had been devoured, and she was eager for more, to be my slave, toy and toilet, wherever and wherever I grew horny.

Shaking my head, soothed by Eri’s sympathetic look, I gave up. It’s the price I have to pay for taking Michiru and Miyu in my arms. It’s nothing, in comparison to even one of their kisses.

“Just wonderful. I suppose I’d better resign myself to a beating. But before that, let’s head back. Everyone else will be waiting…”
