"I think they could be sweeter." Ronak gave me quite the dull look as I sampled one of our new potion flavors.
"Your opinion on sweetness doesn't count," Ronak grumbled.
"Rude," I complained. I only wanted to increase the sweetness by ten percent. Ronak was acting like I wanted to triple the amount of additives in the potions. "Why don't we get a second opinion then?" It's not like we didn't have a scad of test products as we tried to nail how much of the sweetener to add.
"Are you implying that we should jump to product testing?"
"No, think of it as a mini test before jumping to product testing. We need more opinions than just ours. I like sweets, and you don't. It's hard to know where the line is." I batted my eyes at Ronak, and he stared down at me. Ronak had been pulling me away from my evening studying as he started working on the new potions. I thought it was incredibly fun getting to work with Ronak on a project. He had been so much more mellow compared to how he acted in our alchemy class, and I loved getting to bounce ideas off of him. Though… he did think some of my ideas were 'completely outlandish'.
"You just want an excuse to get out of the estate, don't you?"
"No, but it has been a while since we've gone anywhere fun."
Ronak let out a bit of a sigh and glanced down at our collection of potions that we've brewed over the last few days. We decided to make healing potions taste like strawberries since they grow abundantly in our empire. We simplified my mixed berries down into a blackberry and blueberry syrup for the mana potions. We hadn't finalized any flavors for the other potions Ronak sold, but we were having quite a bit of fun tinkering with things. "Then let's make larger batches of the three sweetener levels, and tomorrow we'll take them to the guild and do a little survey."
"Okay!" I was almost jumping up and down as I bobbed on the heels of my feet. "Potion time! Potion time! Do, do, do, do! Potion time!" I quietly sang to myself.
"You're finding this way too fun." Ronak snickered as I pranced over to the supply room.
"Well, duh, spending time with you is almost always fun." Also, it was a nice break from constantly studying. If I had to look at one more noble's name, I was going to scream.
"Only almost?"
"Yeah. Sometimes you're a big meanie- Ack!" Ronak unexpectedly appeared behind me and grabbed me by my waist. I let out a rather loud squeak as he unexpectedly plucked me from the ground.
"Want to run that by me again?"
"Noooooo!" I squealed as Ronak aggressively sniffed my neck and head. "Stooop! You're going to mess up my hair!"
"Who cares? We're going to bed soon." He grumbled as he really got into teasing me.
Gah! Ronak's teasing tickled like crazy! "People are going to think we did something naughty!"
"Once again, who fucking cares?" Me! Obviously me!
"I-I thought we were going to brew another batch?!"
"Ugh, always trying to stop me from having fun." Ronak slowly sat me down, but didn't remove his nose from my hair in the slightest. "In the future, you shouldn't say such rude things. Makes me want to haul you to our room and teach you a lesson." What?! I don't even know what I said that got him all riled up! W-was it because I told him that spending time with him was fun? Gah, he's so childish sometimes!
I quickly whipped around and grabbed his face. His eyes widened slightly in surprise as he watched me intently. "Ugh, you're too tall." I released Ronak's face and stepped onto a small platform.
"What are you doing?"
"Getting payback!" It took two platforms, but I was finally taller than Ronak. The moment I could see the top of his head, I plunged my nose down into his hair. Oh. Ooooh, this is actually weirdly nice. I see why he does this to me. It was a bit more subtle, but Ronak's pheromones smelled really good from up here. Ronak didn't seem to mind my antics at all. He grabbed hold of my bottom and pulled me off my platform as he hauled me into the storage room. "Are you not finding this ticklish?" I complained as I pulled away from his head for a second.
"No. I find very few things ticklish." Whaaaat? That's no fun. No fun at all. "Have you gotten your payback? If you keep this up, I really will teleport us to our bed." Gah! N-not that I didn't want that, but we had things that needed to be done. We can't spend more time making love than we already do. Nothing would ever get done.
"Yeah, but I'm totally sneaking up here to sniff your head after."
"Whatever makes you happy." Ronak snickered as he sat me down. "Let's get this done."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ronak
I didn't care to do this, and honestly, I thought it was a waste of time, but if Micha wants to do it, I guess we can try. He was so excited that I didn't want to disappoint him, so against my better judgment, Micha and I were headed off to the guild with our big supply of test products.
Micha sat at the window of the carriage, squirming with excitement. Fuck, I said I would make time to take him out on dates and haven't found time to do so. No wonder he was so excited about this yesterday. Fine, I'll tolerate goddamn annoying adventurers for Micha, but only for Micha.
"What are you thinking so hard about?" Oh, I hadn't even noticed that Micha had turned from the window and was giving me a rather cute look.
"You."
A cute surprised expression appeared on Micha's face. "Oh yeah? What about me?" Micha scooted across the carriage seat to lean against me, and he even batted his eyelashes. He's totally figured out that I like it when he does that…
"I was thinking that you have me completely wrapped around your finger." I plucked his hand from my thigh and looked down at the ring on his hand. Little did I know when giving this to him that I'd become even more obsessed than I was.
Micha snickered and got the cutest look on his face. Fuck, can he make that expression all the time? "Theeeen, if you do what I say, does that mean we can stop by that restaurant and have soup again for dinner? Ah, and more of that cake?!"
"Gerard."
"Yes, my lord?"
"Cancel our dinner plans for tonight. I'll be eating at a restaurant with Micha." I stared at Micha for a moment and watched him bat his eyelashes. "Yeah, we can do that." We can do whatever the hell you want. Micha's grin grew, and he giggled as he leaned his head back against me.
"Yes, my lord. I will see that the schedule is altered."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Micha
"You said that the guild hall at the capital is the biggest in our empire, but this one seems just as big." I stared up at the building in surprise. We had passed it once, but I wasn't paying it all that much attention to it.
"It's a little smaller, but it does have an attached inn unlike the capital. That's probably why it seems so big to you." Oh, that would make sense.
"I know I said we should do this…, but how should we go about it?" Will it sort of be like my class project, where we asked people to sample our potions? I don't mind doing that, but I know that Ronak will hate it.
"Don't worry, I already had something arranged." He did? Eh, I can't say I'm too surprised. I swear, Ronak is always two steps ahead of me.
The guild was just as busy as the capital guild. The only weird difference was at the capital, people tended to stare and cause problems for Ronak; here, people were oddly reverent. "Pst. Ronak, I thought people at the guild didn't care about rank?"
"They normally don't, but wouldn't it be odd if they didn't know who the archduke was? I did tell you that most people know who lives up on the hill." Yeah… he did say that…, but the vibes were so different that it was throwing me off…
Wait a second… An all too familiar man strolled towards us and politely bowed his head. I looked up at Ronak and then back at him. Then up at Ronak. This was a joke, right? There was no way… "Greetings, Archduke Abraxos. Thank you for reaching out to my guild. We are more than happy to help you."
Ronak nodded his head and leaned down to whisper in my ear. "Stop acting weird. I'll explain later."
"Please, follow me." Guildmaster Rosen, or Thorn, said with a smile. It had to be him, right? We didn't know very many people with dark blue hair, light blue eyes, and a large scar across their cheek.
Ronak pulled me along with him as I stood there feeling baffled. How is he the guildmaster of two guilds?! I had so many questions for Ronak, but of course, I had to keep them to myself for now.
We were guided down a long, relatively empty corridor when Thorn spoke up. "These are meeting rooms. I've reserved the largest for you. If you need anything else, please let me know." I wasn't sure what I was expecting when Thorn opened the door for us, but it wasn't a long table full of adventurers waiting patiently. Many of them even sat up a bit taller as Ronak guided me inside.
Ronak didn't say anything until we were standing at the front of the room and the door was firmly closed. "As you already are aware, we're asking you to sample a few potions and tell us which one you prefer. As per the non-disclosure agreement, nothing that happens in this room is to leave your lips. If I discover that you said something to someone, you'll come to regret it."
"Ronak…" He didn't need to be so scary.
"Let me handle business," Ronak grunted. "Bring out the health potions first."
"Okay!" I excitedly held out my hands and prepared to cast my storage spell. Though I admit, in the little bit of free time I had, I had been practicing something a little odd. As I waved my hand, not one, but many small golden runes appeared. One in front of each of our testers. From the golden runes came a small tray with our potions on it. Of course, I labeled them all and even had our surveys with a quill on each of them.
"So that's what you've been up to," Ronak mumbled under his breath.
"Impressive, right?" I proudly puffed up my chest, and Ronak patted the top of my head.
"Yes, it is impressive." Hehe! Ronak said my spell was impressive. It was actually him who made me curious if I could bring multiple things out like this. I figured if I thought hard enough about it, I could figure something out. "You may begin sampling." Ronak pulled out the head chair and sat down. There weren't any other chairs in the room, though, so I ended up just standing next to Ronak. That was, until he pulled me over to sit on his thigh.
I was pretty embarrassed as we got a few glances, but Ronak didn't even acknowledge anyone in the room, except me. His hand found mine, and we played with one another's fingers as we waited. I guess I thought there would be more engagement from us with the adventures, but apparently, this is how Ronak preferred it. He really didn't like other people, did he? He clammed up almost like we were back at the academy…
"What would you like us to do when we're done, sir?" Oh! I had gotten completely distracted by Ronak's fingers and didn't even notice that the adventurers were getting done.
"There's a second one we will have you taste in a moment. Set your things back on the tray to indicate that you're done." Ronak responded.
It took just a moment more, but everyone finished with the healing potions. I waved my hand once, and all the surveys entered my storage. Then, with a second wave of my hand, all the empty or half-empty potions disappeared. I then brought out the mana potions, and we waited patiently for the adventurers to try them.
I grabbed hold of Ronak's left hand and fiddled with his ring finger. I know I have a ring and that Ronak will get one eventually when we get married, but his finger just feels oddly empty to me. I want him to wear something that represents us. Like his bracelet. Heh, I thought it was so cute that Ronak rarely took it off. The bracelet wasn't fancy or anything, but it did remind me of our first date each time I saw it.
"Micha, you can put away the supplies now," Ronak whispered to me. When I glanced up from Ronak's hand, I softly gasped.
Everyone was done with their potions and was waiting patiently. "Sorry! I was distracted."
"It's not a problem," Ronak muttered to me as he squeezed my hand. "You are dismissed." He said in a louder voice. "Drop by the guild front desk to receive payment. Don't forget to keep your mouths shut." Ronak snapped.
The adventurers filed out in an orderly fashion, and the moment we were alone, I pinched Ronak's face. "You're always so grumpy with people."
"And you're too nice."
Ugh, that's the answer he always gives me. I brought out the two stacks of surveys and went to move from Ronak's lap, but he stopped me with a gentle tug. "Just stay here." He said as he started flipping through the healing potion information.
"Okay…" I started looking over the mana potion information, and a smug feeling started to overwhelm me. "Ha, they like the sweeter version of the potions." I was right! Ronak was wrong-
"Really? The healing potions are showing less sweet as the most popular version.
We shared a glance for a moment before swapping stacks of paper. Huh… Ronak wasn't wrong. They really did like the less sweet version of the strawberry potion more… "Maybe it's because strawberries are naturally sweeter?"
"Possibly, but let's not worry about that, right now. There's somewhere I've been wanting to take you." Ronak stole the papers quite literally from my hands as he stuck them into his storage.
"Oh? Where's that?" I asked as Ronak helped me to my feet.
"You'll see." A little smile formed in the corners of his lips, and I had to roll my eyes. Why did I even bother asking? I knew that Ronak wasn't going to tell me. He really liked surprising me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We had left the adventuring guild and were walking through the streets of Ebonhold. Honestly, I was surprised that Ronak told the carriage to go back to the estate. I thought it was proper to be driven around. Guess we weren't being very proper, right now. Not that I minded in the slightest. I liked being informal like this.
"Alright! Spill the beans!" I tugged on Ronak's arm, and he turned his head to look down at me.
"Beans?" He echoed back with a furrowed brow. Pft, has he never heard that saying before?
"Yeah, what's the deal with Rosen? How can he be the guildmaster of two guilds?" I gave Ronak the best suspicious look I could muster, but he didn't seem all that fazed.
He let out a soft snicker and turned back to look at the snowy path we were traversing. "He's technically only the guildmaster at the Ebonhold branch, but he does fill in, or I guess he poses as the capital branch occasionally. He and the capital guildmaster are rather close, so she lets him do as he pleases when he's in the capital." Wait, close… like… close, close?
"Are they dating?" If they were close, then they either had to be in a relationship or related, but I doubt they're related. Ronak said he found Thorn in the streets. I'm sure he has some family out there, but I doubt it's a guildmaster.
Ronak gave me an odd side eye. "Technically, no. They're married."
"Whaaaaaaaaaat?!" I squealed, causing people around us to give us odd looks. "B-but he lives here, and she lives there!"
Ronak released my arm and brought his hand up so he could rub his ear. "And here I was thinking that you weren't loud like female omegas." I angrily puffed up and glared at him. I-I'm not as loud as they are. That's rude. Ronak reached back down and poked my cheek before grabbing my arm. "As long as he does the job that I require of him, I don't really care what he does in his free time."
"So, does he go there to visit her, or does she come here? Ooor do they flip-flop depending on where you are? Do they have kids? I can't imagine it would be easy having a family when you're apart all the time." I stared up at Ronak expectantly. Why was he being so quiet?
I tugged on his sleeve a few times before he let out a sigh. "I don't know, and I honestly don't really care. As I said, Thorn can do what he wants as long as what I want comes first."
"That's awfully selfish of you-" I let out a bit of a squeak as Ronak pulled me down a side street.
"If you haven't noticed, I am rather selfish. It's why I stole the sun out of the sky."
I looked up at Ronak's crimson red eyes and let out a little giggle. "Are you trying to be scary? I'm afraid I don't really find you scary anymore."
Ronak let out an annoyed grunt and kissed my forehead. "It's never my intention to scare you. I just didn't want an employee from the newspaper company to see us." He stood back up and looked back over to the busy street we had been walking down.
"But if he sees us here, he's really going to write something scandalous about us." I don't really think it would damage Ronak's reputation, but I'm sure people would find it rather shocking to know that Ronak makes out with me in broad daylight.
"Why would he-" As Ronak looked back down at me, I grabbed his head and leaned up on my tippy toes so I could kiss him. Hehehe, my personal cherry tree tasted so good, and his lips were chilled from the cold air. I could kiss him all the time and never get enough of it. "You little brat," Ronak grumbled as he pulled away for a second. I couldn't help but grin as he leaned down and kissed me again. Who's stealing kisses from whom, now? Hehehe.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Whoa! What's all this?!" I watched as people wearing interesting-looking shoes glided across the frozen lake.
"This is ice skating. I mentioned it before, remember?" My eyes instantly lit up. I went to walk closer to the lake, but Ronak grabbed my hand and tugged me back over to him.
"We've gotta go get skates!" I tried tugging Ronak towards where the commoners were getting skates, but he pulled me back over to him.
"Will you calm down? I have skates for you."
"You do?" Ronak nodded his head and pulled me over to an empty bench. He held out his hand and pulled a rather large box out of his inventory.
"Be careful. While I doubt they will cut you, it is possible." I nodded my head and pulled the lid off the box. Inside were a white pair of leather boots with what looked to be an iron sole and a long, thin blade attached down the middle. I pulled one out of the box and looked at it a bit closer.
"This is really pretty."
"I thought about getting red or even black to match mine, but I just thought white fit you a bit better. Especially where you're so much more angelic than me." I couldn't help but giggle as I pulled the second boot out. They were surprisingly heavy. Ronak stuck the box back into his inventory and pulled out a larger black pair of skates for himself.
"You know how to ice skate?"
"Obviously. I wouldn't have brought you skating if I didn't know how."
"Do other nobles ice skate?"
"A few, but not too many. Mostly, the commoners do it for fun." I looked out at the lake that had little clusters of people skating around on it. They weren't too far out on the lake, but there were plenty of people having fun.
"The lake is absolutely beautiful." To have frozen with that beautiful sheen of blue must really attest to how pretty it is during the other seasons.
"Yeah, during the summer the mountains reflect off of it, and it really makes for a beautiful sight. Do you need help putting your skates on?"
I stopped gawking at the lake and looked down to see Ronak finishing up. What? He was so fast! "Umm… I think I've got this." Ronak watched me fiddle with the skates for a moment before letting out a slight huff and leaning over to steal a skate from my hands.
"You don't need to loosen the laces that much. Here." He held out the shoe for me, and I slowly slid my foot inside. I was going to pull my foot back and do up the laces on my own, but Ronak held my foot still and started doing the laces for me. "Give me the other one." He said as he helped my foot to the ground. My cheeks were a bit pink, but I nodded and handed him the other skate. He was far faster than I would have been. "They're going to feel rather tight, but that's important when it comes to skating. If your skates are too loose, you could get hurt."
"O-okay."
"Now, I'll do my best to prevent you from falling, but you can't go wandering off as you do." I-I don't wander off. He was being a bit dramatic. As if I'd lose my giant alpha who towers over others.
Ronak stood and carefully helped me to my feet. I wobbled a bit, but managed to take a step without tripping. Honestly, I was pretty impressed that Ronak was able to walk on the skates so easily. He must go ice skating every winter. "Alright, are you ready to try going on the ice?" Oh, was he trying to get me used to walking in them? He's so cute. Gah! I-I just want to rub my face against his pecks.
"Y-yeah, we can go to the ice." I think I got this…
"Okay, don't let go of my hands." Ronak walked backwards towards the ice, and I thought he would slip as his blades made contact with the ice, but Ronak stayed in full control. Oh, that doesn't look too bad- The moment my skate touched the ice, my foot went sliding, and a rather unsavory sound ended up echoing around the area. "I've got you, it's okay. You're not going to fall." One of Ronak's hands slid down to my hips, where he helped to ground me. "Keep your legs straight. I'll pull you."
I did as Ronak asked, and he took a few steps back, allowing me to slightly glide across the ice's surface. "O-oh… This isn't too bad." My poor face was so red, though. Wh-why did I have to squeal like that?
"You're not doing too badly, but keep your knees bent. Just like in sparring practice. Now this is going to sound counterintuitive, but when you 'push off' you don't use your toes. It's not like walking. Using one foot, you're going to almost lean in with it and then push off. Mmm." Ronak came to a stop and gave me a funny look. Try to hold your balance for a second." Ronak released his hold on my hands, and thankfully, I had enough balance that I didn't immediately faceplant it. Ronak whipped off his cloak and laid it on the frozen lake. He then grabbed my hands and pulled me over to his cloak. "Here sit for just a second. It will make more sense if you see it happening first."
I plopped down onto Ronak's cloak with his help and snuggled up to watch my teaching example. Hehe, Ronak was being so cute. He skated so naturally, too. It was amazing to watch him. He told me all the steps again and made sure to talk me through each of the movements he was doing. Ah, it really did help to visually see what he was talking about.
"Alright, your turn." Ronak grinned as he glided back over to me.
"I-I'll try." Ronak helped me back to my feet and stole his cloak back. I wanted to nuzzle inside of it with him. Not that I was cold or anything, but I really enjoyed how much his stuff smelled like him.
Ronak held onto one of my hands, and I did my best to copy his movements. He made it look so much easier than it was. Not that I didn't have balance, but I had never done anything of the sort before. If I told my parents that we went skating on ice, they'd think I had lost my mind. "There you go, you're getting the hang of it." I did wobble a little bit, but Ronak was right, I was doing much better. "I'm going to let go now."
"Wh-what?!" I didn't want him to let go! I liked holding hands while skating.
"You've got this." Without my consent, Ronak let go of my hand and sent me skating on my own. I wobbled nervously, but didn't lose my balance.
Oh, this wasn't too bad. If anything, it was pretty fun. No wonder there were quite a few people out here. I laughed and turned to look at Ronak, but the moment I did, my skate caught something, and I went careening to the side. Ronak, however, did exactly what he said he was going to do and prevented me from falling.
"Got you." He snickered as he pulled me into his arms. He came to a stop and sat me down. "Want to try again?"
"Yeah!" Sure, I had healing magic and wasn't too afraid of hurting myself, but knowing that Ronak was there to catch me sure made me feel delighted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There you go. You're doing great." Ronak wasn't skating behind me anymore and had taken up skating beside me. Even better was that he had resumed holding my hand.
"How do I stop?" I asked as we glided across the ice together.
"Oh, I guess I haven't taught you that… It's not hard. It's the opposite of pushing off. You bring one or two feet in." Ronak released my hand and came to a stop. I was a little nervous, but did the same as him and brought my toes together. I stumbled forward a little, but as expected, Ronak was there to stop me from face-planting. "If you do it a little slower, it's not such an abrupt stop."
I burst into giggles and turned to face Ronak. "Thanks for catching me."
"You don't need to thank me. Of course, I'm going to catch you." His response only made me giggle more. He looked around for a second and leaned down to whisper to me. "I made the decision to catch you in the dungeon, and I'll continue to make the decision to catch you for the rest of our lives." Since Ronak was so close, I snuck a quick kiss from him. I don't think anyone saw.
"Is that why you're always after this little mouse?" It was like Ronak made it his personal mission to catch me in every way, shape, and form. At first, it drove me a little bit crazy, but I don't mind it as much anymore. If anything, I found it oddly endearing.
"Mhmm, you're mine. All mine. Forever and always." I continued to giggle as smugness overwhelmed me. Yep, all yours. Hehe.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ronak… I-I don't know about this…" Ronak said he wanted to try something different, which was always alarming. We got back from ice skating and dinner at that adorable diner. Of course, we got corn chowder. It was as delicious as always. Ronak even let me get two cakes so he could put one into his storage. I wasn't thrilled about it going into his storage, but it was a better alternative than no cake.
Ronak didn't ask me to put on any slinky clothes, but what he did say sent a shiver down my spine. I never knew what new things he had cooked up in his head. I mean, just the other day, he had me suck his dick while he sucked mine. I-it was way too much stimulation for me! Especially when his naughty little fingers wandered over to tease my bottom. "It's nothing bad, don't you trust me?"
Ugh, I hate it when he says that. Of course, I trust him…, but I'm not sure I trust all the kinky things Ronak thinks up. Also, when does he have time to think up all these kinky things?! Shouldn't he be waaaay too busy to be thinking such things?! "W-well yeah…"
"Good, then come here." He lay down on the bed and patted the space next to him. I nervously scooted over to where he said and eyed him suspiciously. "Face that way." He said as he pointed to the foot of our bed.
"Wh-why don't you just tell me what you've thought up?" Why did he have to be so cryptic about his odd desires? Despite complaining, I moved as he asked me to.
"That's not nearly as fun. Now, throw your leg over me."
"Y-you want to do this again?" Don't tell me he wants me to be on top this time?! I ended up cumming so fast when we both teased each other. I'd probably just end up collapsing down onto him.
"Nope, it's different." I nervously bit my lip and threw a leg over him as he asked. It was a bit awkward because he was so wide and muscular, but I managed. "Perfect." Ronak reached his hands up and gently ran them across my bottom. "Your ass is still pink from how cold it was earlier, but I worry that if I have Benedict put any stronger heating enchantments on your stuff, you'll cook like a roast."
"I felt fine. You don't need to have him increase the strength of the enchantment." I also didn't want him to mess anything up and cook me. Getting burned didn't sound remotely pleasant.
Ronak's fingers fiddled with my lace panties for a moment before he pulled them out of the way. "Sit down."
What? "Y-you want me to do what?"
"I want you to sit down."
I peeked down at him through my legs. "B-but that would mean that my bottom…"
"Yep. It's not much different from when I pull you up onto your shoulders. If anything, this will be more comfortable for you." My brain was completely struggling to process what he wanted. H-he wants me… to sit… on his face?! Where does he get these strange desires from?!?! "Don't you want your reward for being such a good little ice skater?" Ronak started rubbing my cheeks much more aggressively, and I had to turn so I couldn't see his cocky grin.
He thought of this as a reward for me? I mean… it is focused directly on my pleasure b-but… it was so embarrassing! "But that's dirty!"
"We just got out of the bath, and last I checked, you thoroughly cleaned your bottom." I knew he was watching a little too intently. "I know you like it." Ronak let out a gentle grumble as he continued to massage my bottom and thighs. H-he wasn't wrong. It was a massive turn-on when Ronak used his tongue.
I did my best to contain my embarrassment as I slightly sat down. Putting my entire weight on Ronak seemed like a bit much. I don't care how strong he is; I'm not sitting fully on his face. I thought Ronak would really go for it like he did sometimes, but apparently, today, he was going to take things slow and gentle.
A massive shiver ran through my body as he leaned up and simply breathed on my bottom. His naughty hands kept getting close to rubbing me, but would back off and resume rubbing my thighs or cheeks. "You need to sit down even further."
"B-but-!"
"You're right, I want your butt." Ronak grabbed my elbows and slid his hands down my arms until he brought them behind my back. I let out a rather loud yelp as Ronak tugged on my wrists and forced me to fully sit. My face turned flush as Ronak's nose pressed against my butt and his lips moved about. His tongue snuck out of his mouth and wriggled its way between my cheeks, making my toes curl. I was so incredibly aware of every single little movement Ronak's face made as he started to tease me.
"Ronak!" I let out a moan as the flat of his tongue was slowly dragged across my bottom. Ah! A-and now he's swirling it about?! I'm going to completely lose it at this rate!
Ronak's hands released their grip on my wrists as it became clear that I wasn't going to pull away. They wandered up and over my thighs like curious spiders. Apparently, the spiders were feeling rather horny because they wasted no time pulling my panties out of the way and stroking my dick.
I anxiously let out a squeal as I bit my bottom lip. Gah! I-it was so good! Way better than being rolled up onto my shoulders and aggressively eaten out. Ronak's tongue pressed into me, and I let out another loud moan. I-I can't hold on at this rate.
I clenched Ronak's chest between my thighs as I let out a loud moan and sprayed my minuscule load of cum onto Ronak's chest. He let out a pleased grunt as he continued wedging his tongue into me.
Ronak's face was completely smashed between my cheeks, but he didn't seem to mind in the slightest. If anything, from the massive erection he was getting, he was loving every second. He let out a growl, causing me to squeal. H-he knows I find that ticklish! Especially now! It's like sitting on something that vibrates!
My back arched, and I let out a rather loud moan as cum sprayed across Ronak again. Between his growling and the fact that his tongue aggressively poked one of my favorite spots, it was too much. I collapsed and was greeted by Ronak's dick trying to escape his boxers as I tried to catch my breath.
"Holy shit, you're as sexy as always. Did you like that?" I shamefully nodded my head and pulled Ronak's boxers down so his beast could escape its confines. It still horrified me how big he was, but I must admit that I love how much it satisfies me.
It was my turn to reciprocate, so I sat up a little and lightly licked his tip. Honestly, after being teased so much by Ronak's tongue, I wanted him inside me more than anything. My bottom was quivering with excitement, but it would have to wait a moment.
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit how I was getting used to giving Ronak oral. I knew his favorite spots and what he liked the most. He really shivered when I'd stick him as far back as I could and swallow. He'd even make funny sounds if I did it long enough.
I had barely gotten started teasing him when he began to sit up. "I'm far too worked up. I'll end up drowning you in cum again if you keep going." Ah… yeah, I don't want that. I made the foolish mistake of taking Ronak all the way once with oral, and I was rewarded with so much cum that it spilled out of my mouth. I even choked on it. No wonder my stomach feels swollen when he fills me. He's really putting a lot in there.
I nodded my head, and Ronak pulled me into his lap as he sat fully up. He wasted no time grabbing my hips and plunging me down onto him. I let out a bit of a moan and ground my hips against him. "Yessss."
"Holy shit, I love you so much." Ronak grabbed hold of my chest and gave it a good squeeze as we ground against one another.
"Can you really pound me tonight?" I asked as I turned my head up to look at Ronak.
"Do you want to be able to walk tomorrow?"
"N-not really." My cheeks turned a little pink as I admitted what I wanted.
"Then you better not whine." Ronak wrapped an arm around my waist as he moved us around. He didn't even pull out, either, as I was brought along for the ride.
"I'm going to whine so much." I teased as Ronak lay me onto the bed face down.
"Yeah, you fucking better. Otherwise, I did a bad job." I giggled, but it was replaced by a yelp as Ronak smashed his hips into me.
"H-harder!" Ronak compiled, and I let out a loud yelp as Ronak smashed me into the bed.
"You like that?!" He snarled into my ear as his balls smashed against mine.
"Mhmm! Ngh!" I cried out as Ronak began to pick up the speed. Y-yeah! This is exactly what I wanted. Actually… "R-ngh! Ronak!" I managed to squeal.
He slowed down a bit and leaned down to listen to me. "What?"
"I-I want you to t-transform." He hadn't transformed in a while, and I was really itching to be absolutely filled to the brim. You'd think my heat was approaching; I wanted it so badly. "A-and do that thing with your wings."
"You're going to be so crabby tomorrow," Ronak muttered as he pulled out of me.
I didn't even look behind me. I instantly knew my demands had been met as Ronak's larger tip pressed against me. Just like I wanted, his wings came down like a secondary set of arms hiding me from sight. I couldn't put my finger on why, but being completely covered by Ronak really got me going.
Scream after pleasurable scream escaped me as I squirmed in delight under Ronak. I didn't realize that we were feeling a little pent up, but now that we were letting everything go, it felt so amazing. I kept trying to squirm out from under Ronak, but his claws would drag me back underneath him, and I would be scolded with an extra hard pounding.
Each orgasm was brain-meltingly good, and Ronak was loving every second of it. I tried to last as long as possible, but I was starting to feel sluggish and exhausted. Breathing was almost painful, and my moans sounded raspy. I wasn't sure if Ronak had accidentally gone into a triggered rut, but it was like he wasn't going to stop. I-I can't keep going! H-he needs to- Ngh!!
I orgasmed one last time and was rewarded with a loud growl and the sensation of being filled to the brim. Gosh, and I thought Ronak cummed a lot when not transformed. My poor stomach was going to end up permanently stretched out at this rate.
Ronak's wings wrapped around me alongside his arms as he rolled to the side. I knew exactly what was coming and welcomed it with one last pitiful cry of ecstasy as Ronak knotted. H-he was so big in his demonic form, and his barbs weren't so bad once I got used to them. "Fuck I love you," Ronak mumbled into my ear as he held me tight. I really wanted to tell him that I loved him too, but I was just far too exhausted.
I released the last little bit of tension inside me, and within moments, I was off to dreamland.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Achoo!" I writhed in pain as my sneeze made my back hurt. I… don't regret what we did, but did my body have to be absolutely wrecked the next day? Even my poor bottom was swollen from Ronak being so rough with it. Thank goodness for those pink potions; otherwise, I'd be unconscious in bed right now.
Ronak looked a little startled as he looked up from his papers. "Did you just sneeze?"
"Yea-achoo!" As if to give him an even better answer, my body chose to sneeze mid-response. I rubbed my nose and hid under the blanket I was lounging under.
"Are you… sick?" What, did Ronak have a phobia of getting sick or something?
"I-I'm sure it's not a big deal- achoo!"
Ronak's brow instantly furrowed, and he glanced at the door. "Gerard." He snapped.
"Yes, my lord?"
"There's a doctor in Ebonhold, yes?"
"I doubt any that wield light magic…" Gerard glanced towards me curiously as I continued to hide half my face. "But I would imagine there's a couple."
"Bring the top one here."
"Ronak, that's really not necessary-"
"Bring them here." He snapped. I let out a little sigh and rolled my eyes. He was so oddly protective.
"Right away, my lord."
"Achoo!" My sneeze made Ronak look back at me with concern, and Gerard flinched as he headed out of the room. They were totally overreacting! I was fine!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Seems like a normal case of the common cold."
"Told you," I grumbled as I glared at Ronak. Why wouldn't he listen to me?! I had plenty of medical experience! If I couldn't diagnose a cold, then I wasted a long time learning from doctors.
Ronak grabbed my foot through the blanket. The weirdo didn't even let me sit up for the doctor visit. He insisted that I stay in a comfortable position. "Enough. I wanted a second opinion. What caused this?"
"Many things could be the cause. Exposure to someone else who was sick, being exposed to too much cold weather, infections, stress, overexertion, and many other things could have resulted in him catching a cold. I recommend plenty of rest and lots of fluids. He'll be better in no time." For coming to Ronak's place for the first time, this doctor was rather relaxed about the whole situation. I thought for sure he'd be stressed out and nervous.
"You are dismissed." Ronak snapped. The doctor nodded his head and followed Gerard out of the room. "I just can't wrap my head around it." He mumbled mostly to himself.
"You act as if you've never gotten sick." I snickered. Ronak stared at me for a second, and I stared back at him. "You've gotten sick before, haven't you?"
"No." What?! That's not possible; everyone gets sick from time to time. Ronak's deadpan stare told me a different story, though.
"You've really never gotten sick?!"
"No, I haven't." Huh… he must have a crazy amazing immune system. "I shouldn't have taken you out yesterday."
"Don't say that! I loved every moment of it!" If he gets the idea in his head that I get sick when taken out, he'll stop taking me places. I'm definitely not having that!
"I knew you were weak, but to think that you'd get sick."
"Hey! I'm not weak, and everyone gets sick! You're the weird one!" I angrily thrashed my feet around, but like an excited cat, Ronak captured them.
"I'll have Harper tell Giselle that your classes and duties are put on hold until you-"
"What?! That's completely unnecessary! I can still do things!" Did he think I was dying or something?!
"Rest and liquids." Ronak snapped. I opened my mouth to complain, but Ronak quickly stood and scooped me up into his arms. He managed to snap his fingers, and within seconds, we were in our room. "Rest," Ronak grumbled as he went about tucking me into bed.
"You're being so silly." I didn't resist as he made me comfortable. I guess being looked after wasn't too bad.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I lied. This is awful. My cold had really set in during the last few hours, and Ronak was acting like I was going to die. He didn't even let me feed myself at lunch, and he was so worried that he completely moved his office operations to our bed.
"Did you have that little lap desk custom-made?" I asked as I looked at the tray. It had short legs that barely raised the surface above Ronak's thighs, and he even had an inkwell holder on it. I was rather confused when he first pulled it out of his storage, but seeing it in action makes a whole lot of sense.
"You're supposed to be resting." He grumbled as he flipped from one paper to the next.
"Resting doesn't include absolute silence," I grumbled.
I thought for a moment Ronak wouldn't respond to me. "I did have it made for this purpose. I've found myself doing work in bed relatively often with you in my life." A soft giggle escaped me, but I ended up sneezing, and Ronak gave me a concerned look.
"Are you planning to keep me hostage here for the next two weeks while I get over my cold?"
"I know that if I leave, you'll get up and wander." Okay… he had me there… "I'll determine what you can and can't do." Can't I do that? I should know the limitations of my own body.
I managed to squirm a bit closer to him. "Oh yeah? Can I wiggle around?"
"No, you should be resting." I stared at him dully, but he didn't look at me.
"Can I have some sweets?"
"No, you need to eat healthy things."
"Can I lie in your office?"
"No, you can lie here where you're more comfortable."
Ronak was completely ignoring me as we spoke. I was trying my best to get his full attention, but he wasn't having any of it. This calls for drastic measures. I ducked under the covers and started squirming around just to see if I could annoy him.
"Micha… what are you doing?"
I squirmed so far down in the bedding that I was able to route around Ronak's leg. I figured while I was here, I'd really see if I could annoy him. I popped out from under the covers between Ronak's legs with a slight grin. The idea wasn't super well thought out because I ended up just being able to see the underside of Ronak's desk, but it wasn't too bad under here. I was pretty wedged between Ronak's thighs, and just to make myself even cozier, I threw an arm over his leg to cuddle it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ronak
This fucking brat. First, he gets sick, and now he's using my crotch as a pillow. Shit. I was about to move the desk and give him an annoyed look, but the best sound in the world started to fill the air.
"Can I bug you?" Micha tiredly asked as he snuggled against my legs.
Oh, trust me, you bug me every waking moment of the day. He even bugs me at night. I don't mind it, though. I've grown extremely fond of my annoying little bug. "Yes, you can bug me."
Micha's purring continued for a while as I worked, but eventually it faded off as he fell asleep. This little brat either knows all too well what he does to me or is completely oblivious… Either way, it absolutely kills me when he's this adorable.
I had work that needed to be reviewed, but I let out a big sigh and put it away. "Gerard."
"Yes, my lord?"
"I'll let you know when I resume working. For now, I'm taking a break."
"Yes, of course, my lord."
I put my desk and other supplies away and looked down at Micha. He looked so pleased with himself. I can't believe he squirmed all the way over here. Had he simply asked… well, first I would have thought he was crazy, but I would have gone along with it. I'd do anything to make Micha happy, no matter how ridiculous it was.
I grabbed him by the armpits and, oh so carefully, pulled him up to lie beside me. He moved in his sleep as I moved to lie down, but the moment I wrapped my arms around him, he settled down. Yeah, get plenty of sleep, Micha. I'll keep an eye on you.
I can't believe he got fucking sick. Just how awful is his immune system? Here I was thinking that he was fine because he downed shit and strange potions like they were going out of style, but he caught a cold? The real problem was that almost everything the doctor listed off could have caused this. I'll have to make sure that Micha's workload gets lightened. He didn't need to go and make himself sick over things. I couldn't care less about doing the work of a duchess. It's not like it was hard.
Micha squirmed slightly in his sleep, but a gentle pat settled him down. My emotions were all over the place, and they were strong enough that they were probably bothering Micha. I needed to calm down, but him being sick stressed me out. I didn't like it one bit. Micha was mine, and nothing, I mean nothing, was going to take him from me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Micha
Mmm, I recognize this… I gave it a bit of a squeeze and let out a happy mumble. Hehehe. "Are you having a fun time fondling my chest?" I opened my eyes and softly snickered as I gave Ronak's chest another squeeze.
"Why am I up here?" Ronak had me basically lying on him as he lazily looked over papers. His little desk was set up next to us, but he wasn't using it for much else besides somewhere to set things.
"I pulled you up here because you kept having fitful sleep." I was? Mmm… I don't remember what I dreamed about…
"You shouldn't be this close to me. I could get you sick."
"I doubt I'm going to get sick, and even if I did, I don't care." Ugh, he really thinks he's immune to everything, doesn't he? "Here, sit up and drink this." Ronak set his paper down and pulled me up with him as he sat up in bed. I was a little sad to be removed from his chest, but it's not like I could sit up there all the time. He held out his hand, and from his storage he brought out a glass of juice.
"What flavor is it?" I went to sniff, but I was so congested that I couldn't smell anything.
"I believe it's winterberry and strawberry. Those two are rather abundant this time of year."
I took a big gulp of it and enjoyed the flavor. It was a bit muted because of my cold, but I could tell how amazingly sweet it was. "Aren't those both grown in the summer or fall?" I raised an eyebrow, but the corner of Ronak's lips slightly curled.
"They are, but wasn't it you who told me all about preserving things for later use? Both of those berries grow so abundantly here that the people of Ebonhold preserve them and use them all year long. There's even a cafe in town that's centered around strawberries. I think almost every menu item has strawberries in it."
I let out a little excited gasp. "We should go!"
"No." Huh?
"I was referring to when I get better." Obviously, I didn't want to go right now. While I did think Ronak was being a little dramatic about my cold, I completely agreed that I needed rest and fluids.
"Still no."
"Wh-why?"
"I made the mistake of popping my head in there once and instantly regretted it. Maybe if your friends come for the winter social, you could go with them." Huh? That only confused me further. Why would I be able to go with friends, but not Ronak… Wait a second…
"It's super girly inside, isn't it?" I knew Kas's women's clothing store made Ronak uncomfortable because he asked me why I would like such a thing, but I didn't realize even cute cafes made him uncomfortable.
"It's very pink." I made the bad decision to take a drink of juice as Ronak responded. His response almost made me spit juice everywhere, but I did manage to swallow before bursting into laughter. I did laugh so hard that Ronak confiscated the juice from me, though. It wasn't my fault! Just the idea of Ronak sitting in a girly cafe was hilarious to me.
"You don't want to go somewhere cutesy with me?" I teased with a big grin.
"I draw the line there." I snickered again and reached across him for my juice.
"I'll behave, give it back." Now I really wanted to go out of my way to get Ronak into a cute cafe with me. I could see his pained expression now.
"That's not the grin of someone who's behaving." He grumbled as he passed the juice back to me.
"You're no fun." I giggled as I took a sip. "I'll have to go with my friends since my big, strong alpha is afraid of pink and ruffles." I teasingly swirled my finger around on his chest, but the look Ronak gave me did not seem amused in the slightest.
"I'm hardly afraid. I simply find them atrocious."
"The outfit I wore to your birthday had ruffles."
"Those were limited and classy. I won't allow you to wear some of the hideous things women wear." Eh, I guess he had a point. Ruffles were rather fashionable, right now, and some of the outfits in the women's clothing catalog were… interesting. I definitely wouldn't wear them, but I guess some people loved them. "Just you wait to see what some of the people show up wearing at the winter social. You'll have to do double takes." Pft! I could totally see Ronak giving people judgmental side eyes.
"I guess we'll have to judge from afar together." I giggled.
"Mhmm," Ronak grunted as he picked up a paper from his little portable desk. Ugh, his work was never-ending, wasn't it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ronak
"I should have the imperial doctor come to Ebonhold," I grumbled as I fed Micha a spoonful of vegetable soup.
"Rooonak! I'm fine! It's just a fever."
"You're so warm that heat is radiating off your body." To prove my point, I held my hand near Micha's flushed face, where I could feel the warmth coming off of him.
"Yeah, your body gets hot when you have a fever, but it's not like it's a problem! I haven't had the fever for days, and besides, it's how your body fights off cooties." I raised my eyebrow as I put another spoonful of soup into Micha's mouth. Cooties? Was he a child? "Germs." He corrected as if I didn't understand him the first time. "Fevers help your body kill all the bad germs."
"I'm aware of what fevers do," I grumbled. The problem was that I had never seen someone get so warm before. Yeah, Micha was naturally warm, but he was like a fucking magic oven, right now. I'm pretty sure I could put food on him, and his body would be able to cook it.
I was about to contact Gerard again, but as if on cue, he appeared at the top of our stairs. "Sorry for the delay, my lord. Here is what you asked for." He brought over the hot water bottle that was usually used as a heat source, but I had him stuff it to the brim with snow.
"You're dismissed," I responded as I took the bottle from him. Oh, good, the thick material wasn't retaining the cold. Gerard disappeared with a swirl of red mist, so I pulled Micha's blanket back and started to sit the bottle on him. "Here, put this-"
"GAH!" Micha instantly let out a little cry and pushed the bottle away from him. "That's so cold!"
"You need to cool down. You're dangerously warm." It was completely unnatural. He was going to cook his brain at this rate.
"That thing is too cold!" Micha wrapped his arms around himself defensively.
"Then what do you suggest?" I grumbled as I set the bottle on the side table.
Micha's eyes darted around a bit as I put his empty food dishes away in my storage. "You're rather cool to the touch. Can't you cool me down?"
My attention instantly snapped back to Micha. What sort of trouble was he trying to start now? "What? Do you want me to lie naked next to you or something?"
"W-well… not completely naked…" I lied, the heat has already gone to his head. I let out a little sigh and stood. Micha watched curiously as I pulled my top off and started undoing my pants. "I didn't think you'd actually do it."
"You need to cool down. You've had a fever for hours, and if this is a suitable arrangement, then I'll do it." It's not like I was bothered by lying naked with Micha. If anything, it was going to take everything inside of me not to get a damn boner.
"I should get sick more often," Micha mumbled to himself as I lay down next to him under the covers.
I gave him a rather annoyed look. "You better not be getting sick all the time, or I'll completely take your sugar away."
"I was just teasing," Micha grumbled as he snuggled up against me. Fuck he was warm. It was almost unbearable being near him.
"Raise your arms." Micha gave me an odd look before complying. I grabbed his loose top and pulled it up and over his head. He seemed a bit startled as I tossed it aside and pulled him close, but he didn't seem all that bothered by how cool I was.
I started trying to tug his pants off, but Micha made a soft squeak. "Wait! I-I don't have anything on underneath these…" Micha… didn't have any underwear on?
"And that fucking matters because…" That's just a fucking bonus, Micha. Like, I'm going to find that upsetting. It didn't stop me from pulling off his pants in the slightest. It's not like we were rubbing against one another. I had boxers on… unfortunately. I should have pulled those fuckers off as well.
Micha gave me an annoyed look as I swore, but he was about to be even more upset because I grabbed the water bottle of snow and set it on his side. He had the comforter on, but Micha shivered as I sat it on him. "C-cold!"
"Oh, stop being so dramatic. You're so warm it will probably melt within an hour."
"I-it will not." He grumbled as he rubbed his head against me. The brat wouldn't admit it, but this cold was taking a lot out of him. Simply bantering with me made him tired.
"Go to sleep. I'll keep you nice and cold." Micha let out an unidentifiable grumble as he closed his eyes. Mmm, hurry up and get better. I don't like seeing you sick.
