The cube's glow had deepened to a sultry indigo, casting elongated shadows across the bed like whispered secrets. Sylvia's smile lingered, soft and knowing, as if the kiss had unlocked something primal between us. Her hand still rested on my shoulder, fingers curling lightly into the fabric of my shirt, and I could feel the subtle tremor in her touch—the electric hum of mana syncing with her quickening pulse.
"Allen," she breathed, her voice a velvet thread in the quiet hum of the room. Her eyes, dark and dilated, held mine with an intensity that made my chest tighten. "That... wasn't in the lesson plan."
I chuckled low, my thumb tracing the curve of her jaw, savoring the silk of her skin. "Plans change, sensei. Especially when the student's this distracting."
She bit her lower lip, a flush creeping up her neck, painting her porcelain skin with rose. It was intoxicating, watching her composure crack just for me. I'd seen Sylvia command rooms full of mages, her D-rank poise unshakeable, but here, in this suspended bubble of mana, she was unraveling—and I was the one holding the thread.
Leaning in again, I captured her lips with more intent this time, no hesitation. The kiss started slow, exploratory, my mouth moving against hers in a rhythm that mirrored the cube's faint pulse. She sighed into it, her body shifting closer until her knee brushed my thigh, the thin fabric of her gown whispering against my pants. Her lips parted under mine, inviting, and I deepened the kiss, tongue tracing the seam of her mouth until she opened fully, tasting of sweet tea and the faint tang of mana residue from our earlier practice.
God, she was responsive. Her free hand slid up my arm, nails grazing lightly, sending sparks down my spine. I pulled her onto my lap without breaking the kiss, her legs straddling me in a fluid motion that pressed her core against the growing hardness in my jeans. She gasped softly against my mouth, the sound vibrating through me like a spell igniting.
"Sylvia," I murmured, breaking away just enough to nip at her earlobe, my breath hot against her skin. "Tell me if it's too much."
She shook her head, ponytail loosening as strands of black hair cascaded over her shoulder. "No... more. I want more." Her voice was husky, laced with a need that mirrored the ache building in my gut. She rocked her hips experimentally, a subtle grind that drew a groan from deep in my chest. The friction was maddening, her warmth seeping through layers of cloth, but I forced myself to savor it—to draw this out until she was trembling.
My hands roamed her back, fingers splaying wide to map the dip of her spine through the gown. It was a simple thing, lightweight cotton that clung to her curves like a second skin, but it felt like a barrier I was desperate to breach. I tugged at the hem, inching it upward, exposing the smooth expanse of her thighs. Her skin was fever-hot, and as my palms slid higher, brushing the underside of her ass, she arched into me with a whimper that shot straight to my cock.
"You're so soft," I whispered, lips trailing down her neck, sucking gently at the pulse point where her heartbeat thrummed like a war drum. Mana flickered at my fingertips unbidden—purple tendrils coiling faintly, responding to my heightened senses. I let a sliver of it infuse my touch, not enough to cast, just a gentle vibration that hummed against her skin like a lover's purr.
She shuddered, her head falling back, exposing more of her throat. "Allen... what is that? It feels..." Her words dissolved into a moan as I pressed my lips to her collarbone, the mana threading through my kiss like silk threads, amplifying every sensation. It was omnipresence in reverse—me feeding her energy, letting her feel the world's pulse through me.
"Like this?" I asked, voice rough, as I cupped her breast through the gown. Her nipple pebbled instantly under my palm, and I circled it with my thumb, the mana buzzing faintly, turning the touch into a tease of electric warmth. She bucked against me, her hands fisting in my shirt, pulling me closer as if she could merge our bodies right then.
"Yes—oh, gods, yes." Sylvia's breath hitched, her hips grinding with more purpose now, chasing the friction. I could feel her growing slickness through her panties, the damp heat soaking into my jeans, and it took every ounce of control not to flip her onto her back and devour her whole. But this was for her—the best she'd ever had, a foreplay symphony building to crescendo.
I hooked my fingers under the straps of her gown, easing them down her shoulders with deliberate slowness. The fabric pooled at her waist, baring her to the cube's glow—pert breasts, nipples dusky and begging for attention. She was exquisite, all lithe muscle and feminine grace, and I couldn't resist leaning down to take one peak into my mouth. My tongue swirled, hot and wet, while mana danced at the edges, a subtle thrum that made her cry out, the sound raw and unrestrained.
"Allen! That's—fuck, that's incredible." Her fingers tangled in my hair, holding me there as she writhed, her body a live wire under my ministrations. I lavished attention on her, alternating between sucks and gentle bites, my hand kneading the other breast until she was panting, her thighs clenching around my hips. The scent of her arousal filled the air, heady and intoxicating, mingling with lavender from her skin.
Emboldened, I trailed my mouth lower, kissing a path down her sternum, over the soft plane of her stomach. She leaned back on her hands, giving me access, her eyes half-lidded with bliss. "Don't stop," she pleaded, voice breaking on a whine. "Please."
I wouldn't dream of it. Hooking my hands under her thighs, I guided her onto her back, the mattress dipping softly. Her gown bunched at her hips now, and I knelt between her legs, drinking in the sight—her flushed face, swollen lips, the way her chest heaved with each ragged breath. My hands skimmed up her inner thighs, thumbs brushing the edges of her panties, feeling the soaked lace.
"Sylvia, you're drenched," I said, awe threading my voice. It wasn't just words; it was reverence. She was a goddess laid bare, and I was her willing acolyte.
Her cheeks burned brighter, but she met my gaze with fire. "Because of you. Touch me—now."
I obliged, slipping a finger under the edge of her panties, tracing her folds with featherlight pressure. She was slick, velvet heat parting for me, and the first glide of my finger over her clit made her jolt like I'd cast a lightning spell. "Here?" I teased, circling slowly, watching her face contort in pleasure—eyes squeezing shut, mouth falling open in a silent scream.
"Harder," she gasped, hips lifting to chase my touch. I added a second finger, stroking her length in unhurried passes, the mana from earlier lending a vibrating hum that had her keening. It was precise, like the control she'd lectured on—every swirl calibrated to her gasps, every dip attuned to her shudders.
She was close already, I could tell from the way her thighs quivered, her inner walls clenching around nothing. But I wanted more for her, wanted to etch this into her soul. Ducking my head, I pulled her panties aside and replaced my fingers with my mouth. The first taste of her—salty-sweet nectar—drew a growl from me, primal and possessive. My tongue delved, lapping at her clit with broad, flat strokes, then flicking with precision.
"Allen—oh, fuck, I'm—" Her words shattered into a cry as I sucked gently, the mana threading through my breath now, turning the suction into a pulsing wave that rippled through her core. Her hands flew to my head, holding me in place as her body bowed off the bed, every muscle taut like a drawn bowstring.
I didn't let up, alternating licks with hums that vibrated against her, my fingers sliding back in to curl against that spongy spot inside her. She came undone with a wail that echoed off the cube's walls—her orgasm crashing over her in waves, thighs clamping around my ears, juices flooding my tongue. It was beautiful, the way she shattered, body convulsing, mana flaring around us in chaotic purple sparks that danced like fireflies.
I worked her through it, slowing only when her tremors eased to aftershocks, kissing her inner thighs as she panted, boneless and glowing. "That... that was..." She trailed off, a lazy, sated smile curving her lips. But her eyes—gods, her eyes—burned with renewed hunger. "Your turn."
Before I could protest, she sat up, pushing me onto my back with surprising strength. Her hands were everywhere—tugging my shirt over my head, nails raking down my chest in red trails that stung deliciously. "Fair's fair, Allen," she purred, straddling me again, her bare breasts brushing my skin as she leaned down to kiss me, letting me taste myself on her tongue.
She ground against the bulge in my jeans, deliberate and torturous, while her fingers worked my fly open. My cock sprang free, heavy and throbbing, and she wrapped her hand around it with a hum of approval. "So hard for me," she whispered, stroking from base to tip with a twist at the head that made stars burst behind my eyelids.
"Sylvia—shit." I bucked into her grip, the relief of her touch after holding back nearly undoing me. She was merciless, pumping slowly while her thumb smeared the bead of pre-cum over the sensitive underside, her other hand tweaking my nipple in time with her strokes.
Mana responded to her too now—hers, a cool blue thread weaving into her touch, making it feel like cool silk over fire. It heightened everything, turning her hand into an extension of pure sensation. I was lost in it, hips thrusting up, chasing the building pressure in my balls. But she slowed just as I teetered on the edge, edging me with a wicked grin.
"Not yet," she said, voice breathy but commanding. "I want you inside me when you come."
She shed her panties with a shimmy, tossing them aside, then positioned herself over me, her slick folds kissing the head of my cock. We both groaned at the contact—teasing, not entering, just sliding along her wetness in shallow rocks that had us both feral.
Her hands braced on my chest, she rode the friction, clit grinding against my length, building herself toward another peak while driving me insane. Sweat slicked our skin, the cube's hum syncing with our ragged breaths, mana coiling around us like a living embrace.
"Sylvia, please," I growled, hands gripping her hips hard enough to bruise, guiding her but not pushing. "I need you."
She leaned down, lips brushing mine, her body trembling on the brink again. "Then take me."
With that, she lifted slightly, aligning us perfectly—her entrance hot and fluttering against my tip. We paused there, breaths mingling, eyes locked in a promise of what was to come. The world narrowed to this: her, me, and the precipice we teetered on.
