"I'll take Truth…" Mimosa replied, glancing between Noelle and Vanessa, curious about what they might ask.
"I'll go first and keep it simple since we're just warming up." Vanessa said with a small smile. "What do you think about me… and Noelle?"
The question was easier than Mimosa expected, and she answered without hesitation.
"I don't know you very well yet, Vanessa, but you seem kind, caring and supportive, even if you're lazy and have a terrible drinking habit, You're a good person with the body of a succubus." Mimosa suddenly froze, covering her mouth, her eyes widened as her internal thoughts spilled out without her knowledge.
Vanessa laughed softly. "See? The potion works. No dodging, no beating around the bush. And that remark about my body, I'll take that as a compliment."
Noelle stayed quiet, waiting, knowing her turn was coming.
"As for Noelle…" Mimosa continued.
"I know her better than most. She's the most hardworking and strong-willed noble I know. Even after facing criticism from everyone around her, she hasn't given up. Honestly… I don't think I could have endured what she has." Noelle blinked, caught off guard.
"I wish I was as strong as her..." Realizing her next words, she quickly slapped both hands over her mouth but it was too late as the final, desperate bit of honesty escaped her lips. "And I have one last request, cousin... Please don't ever kiss El again."
Vanessa and Noelle's eyes nearly popped out of their heads.
"How did you know that?!" Noelle squeaked, sinking into the water until only her wide, panicked eyes were visible. She soon realized El must have been the one to tell her since nobody else was there.
'What is their relationship?' She thought.
"Okay," Vanessa broke the moment with a grin, "now it's getting interesting. No more interruptions Noelle, your turn."
Noelle hesitated briefly, then spoke firmly, as if wanting clarity more than anyone else.
"Truth."
"Perfect," Vanessa spoke. "I'm still in the dark here. Tell me, Noelle why did that Prince kiss you, and how did it really feel?"
Noelle stiffened for a moment before answering, unable to hold anything back under the potion's effect.
"We were fighting demons in the underworld... I was so badly hurt I couldn't even chew the medicine. he fed it to me through his mouth. I couldn't think straight but it felt wonderful. I don't know if it was the medicine or him because it was my first kiss... but it felt too good to be true."
"Hm... a bit of a cliché, but that kiss sounds tasty. Maybe I'll have to try it myself," Vanessa teased, her eyes glinting.
"NO!" both girls shouted at once, then immediately looked away from each other, blushing.
"My turn now," Vanessa said, stretching her arms and letting the water ripple over her curves. "And before you ask, I'll take Truth too. I'm not afraid of you newbies."
The challenge lit a fire in both girls. Noelle turned to Mimosa with a determined look. "You've teased us enough. Mimosa, do you mind if I handle this?"
"No, Noelle, go ahead," Mimosa agreed immediately, her curiosity piqued from Noelle's confidence.
"Do you have feelings for anyone in the Black Bulls?" Noelle asked the most personal question she could think of but Vanessa merely chuckled, unimpressed.
"Is that the best you've got, Noelle? Well, to answer you, I've got a big crush on Captain Yami. It's not quite love yet, but I'm definitely planning to try my luck with him, hehehe..." Vanessa's almost vulgar straightforwardness about her own squad captain left the younger girls stunned, but it only strengthened their resolve.
"Round one is over. Let's start the second round," Vanessa said, her gaze turning hungry as it settled back on the newcomer. "Mimosa... Truth or Dare?"
"I'll take a Dare," Mimosa answered. She knew that if she chose Truth, they'd ask her about El and the potion wouldn't let her hide anything.
"Hm... Noelle, do you want a shot at her, or should I go?" Vanessa asked. Noelle looked thoughtful for a moment but shook her head, unable to think of anything bold enough, passing the lead back to Vanessa.
"Very well. Thanks, Noelle." Vanessa stretched her wet arms in the air, letting the water bead slide off her skin before locking eyes with Mimosa.
"Mimosa, darling... your dare is to give my upper body a massage until this round ends. I've grown quite stiff sitting here."
The air in the room changed. Both girls realized just how quickly this 'simple' game was turning provocative.
"Please, I've never done anything like that before, could you… ahh…" Mimosa started to protest, but her body suddenly reacted. An intense, euphoria awakened deep within her royal cave, the same overwhelming heat she had felt during her first time sex with El.
"Didn't I tell you, Mimosa? You can't reject the dare or things get... entertaining," Vanessa's voice echoed.
Noelle watched in a daze, recognizing the look on Mimosa's face, it was the unmistakable expression of someone getting an intense pleasure like she did when she masturbated.
Unable to resist the physical onslaught of the potion, Mimosa rose from the water. She stepped toward Vanessa, her wet, naked body dripping water droplets and sending ripples across the surface of the pool, a mesmerizing sight that would leave any man or woman breathless.
'Oh God, what am I doing?' Mimosa's inner self screamed, but her body moved with a mind of its own.
She took a seat on the edge of the bath behind Vanessa, pressing her soft trembling fingers into the older witch's naked shoulders.
"Ahh... Mimosa... a little lower, right in the center... yeah, that's it, all the way down." Vanessa reached back, her fingers locking with Mimosa's to guide her trembling hands from her shoulders down to the full swell of her breast.
Mimosa complied, her own breasts acting as a soft cushion for Vanessa to lean her head against.
Noelle wasn't faring any better. The sight before her had sent her own thoughts skyrocketing. Trembling, she sank deeper into the water, secretly sliding a hand down between her thighs. 'It's okay,' she told herself, her breath hitching, 'I won't even remember this tomorrow.'
"Ah… you're no amateur at this, Mimosa. Your hands are magical, but it could be better." At Vanessa's praise, Mimosa's focus blurred, her mind grew foggy with pleasure as the potion's heat intensified. She pressed her face closer, her nose brushing Vanessa's nape, breathing in her scent.
A jolt of electricity passed through Vanessa's body but fighting against the intense pleasure she moved the game forward.
"What about you, Noelle? Truth or Dare?"
Noelle snapped her attention away from her own secret wandering hand. Fearing what a dare might force her to do in this state.
"I'll take Truth."
"Mimosa, want to take the lead?" Vanessa offered, leaning back comfortably into Mimosa's embrace.
"Noelle... do you love someone and why?"
The question hit Noelle hard. Her hand went to her chest, pressing against her soft left breast as if trying to stop her heart from jumping out. The potion surged again, stripping away all her hesitation and leaving only the truth.
"That would be El…" Noelle began.
"I have nothing but gratitude toward him since the day we met at the Magic Knight selection exam till he saved my life in the underworld." her gaze lowered.
"And without even realizing it, he helped resolve the heaviest burden I carried… something I had blamed myself for all my life." A faint, almost helpless smile appeared on her lips. "I love him. But he doesn't see it that way."
Noelle had long sensed something between Mimosa and El, their ease with each other. Yet she spoke plainly now, offering nothing but unfiltered truth as her words reached Mimosa's heart.
Mimosa listened in silence, understanding the depth of her cousin's feelings and the silent pain she had endured.
"That would be all, darling," Vanessa said lightly, leaning in to place a quick peck on Mimosa's cheek before pulling away.
"You've been through so much, Noelle. You don't have to hold it in," Vanessa said softly, her voice full of big sister warmth. "That's why we're playing this game, to let go of our burdens."
Vanessa walked over and pulled Noelle's head into her bosom. She felt Noelle's hot breath against her breast, while Noelle's fingers traced the bare skin of her back. Mimosa watched them, giggling softly with a hand over her mouth.
"Now this is what I call bonding," Vanessa teased.
"Your turn, Vanessa," Noelle said as they finally sat side by side. "What would you choose?"
"Truth," Vanessa answered easily.
"Why Captain Yami?" Noelle asked, a bit baffled. "Isn't he just a brute? Is that the type of man you prefer?"
Vanessa smiled. "My story isn't that different from yours. The Witch Queen kept me imprisoned to force my magic to awaken. Yami just happened to barge into a castle where no man had ever set foot and saved me on a whim. I've wanted to tell him how I feel since the start, but I never had the courage. Guess we're all in the same boat, ha?"
The atmosphere turned wholesome as they started the third round, sitting close together in the warm water.
