[NSFW] COMPASS OF TRUE LOVE - CHAPTER 19

Chapter 19: Mommy?

-Marion-

“Every time I close my eyes, I’m back in that hall,” she sobbed. I pressed her a little closer to me as I continued hugging her. From Lorelei’s frown I could tell she didn’t know about most of this.

It felt almost instinctive to me when I wrapped my arms around Liana. I couldn’t believe anyone would treat a child that way, scary sorceress or not: No child should ever be locked away. As far as I was concerned, she didn’t do anything wrong. It was obvious to me that the elf knew what he was doing when he provoked her. It wouldn’t even be too far fetched to think he might have had some control over her cousin, considering the girl started harassing her seemingly out of nowhere.

Right now, my main concern was making sure she would get some rest. She didn’t sleep at all last night and this night was long past midnight already. “Liana, I might have a spell or two that could help you get some rest.”

The little girl carefully wiped her tears away and grabbed her bunny again. “What kind of spells?” she asked warily.

I gently retreated my arms and picked up my spellbook. I flitted around the pages until I found my exam-cram section. “I used these two spells when I had to cram for my school exams last minute. This one,” I pointed at the left page, “is called Serenity. It locks up stress and scary thoughts for a while so you can concentrate on important stuff or get some proper rest.” I’d used it whenever I was too stressed to learn properly or when I couldn’t get any sleep.

“The other one is called Mind Palace. It creates a peaceful place inside your imagination where you can access any memory of your choice. While you are inside your mind palace your body will rest, but your mind stays awake, so it would feel the same to you as right now. And you can simply pick and choose some good memories to look through.” I mostly used this one when I had to cram through the night. Going through all my memories of the textbooks I’d read while my body gets some sleep.

Liana looked at the spells and bit her lower lip while going through the specifics. After a few minutes she looked back up at me. “Could you do the Serenity one, please? I… I don’t want to do any magic myself right now.”

I felt a pang in my heart and instinctively reached out to her again. “Of course Liana. Just don’t dispel this one, okay?” That brought a faint smile to her face and she gave a short nod.

It only took a few seconds to cast the spell and the girl was almost immediately fast asleep, curled up with her giant rabbit. I finally let out an exasperated sigh that I didn’t realise I was holding in.

Lorelei gave me an approving nod. “I never got the hang of the whole parenting thing, but you seem like a natural,” she mused.

I got up and sat down next to the elf, though I made sure to keep her between me and Kamir. Even if the canine was asleep by now, I didn’t want to take any chances.

“I guess I did pretty well. Not like I have any experience with kids, though,” I replied quietly, as to not wake up the sleeping princess. “What about you?”

She grimaced and I could tell I accidentally hit a nerve. “I have two kids. My partner took them with her after three years, though. Haven’t seen either of them in seventeen years.”

“I’m sorry,” I mumbled. I didn’t just hit a nerve I hit a whole nerve centre apparently. I wanted to change the topic but I didn’t know what to say so we sat there in silence next to the fire for what felt like an eternity.

“So, Marion… I don’t want to sound insensitive, but I couldn’t help but notice you look a little different than before. Are you going to tell me how you managed to change your body like that?” Lorelei finally broke the quiet. Sadly I had no idea how I could answer that question without telling her about the vault or Lady Demyr. Somehow, I was pretty sure the dragon would know immediately if I revealed any of her secrets.

“I uhh… I stole a spell scroll,” I replied. It was technically true, which is the best kind of true and I didn’t say anything about the vault or Lady Demyr. Lorelei raised an eyebrow and I could tell she was looking for a more detailed answer, but my silence told her I wasn’t going to elaborate further.

Her eyes flitted up and down my figure and a faint smirk crossed her perfect chiselled face. “You look good. Very… you,” she said, her smirk growing a little at the end.

I could feel a blush flush my face and muttered a quiet thank you before hiding behind my hands. I could hear a soft giggle from her general direction. It reminded me a lot of Sephie, but a little more mature, almost sultry.

“We should probably get some sleep, too. We’ll be on the road from sunrise to sundown tomorrow,” Lorelei reminded me. I still felt fully awake, but if I didn’t sleep now, I’d probably regret it on the road. So I found a good spot to lie down. Of course I didn’t have a bedroll with me, that was still with Gerden at Herb’s place, which meant the night wouldn’t be very comfortable. That reminded me to send a message to Gerden to let him know that I was alright. I’d compose it on the ride south when I found the time.

“Good night, Marion,” Lorelei mumbled from her bedroll.

“Good night, Lorelei.” I leaned against a tree, but I didn’t fall asleep for another hour or two.

*****

My thoughts were filing through the events that transpired over the past two days. Within just a couple of hours, I went from a desperate nobody pretending to be someone she wasn’t out of fear, to a travelling companion of not one, but two princesses without having to hide herself anymore.

When I was transformed, I knew I looked exactly like I always wanted to. The way I looked and felt whenever I vividly dreamt about Sephie and I.

Part of me wanted nothing more than to try out my true body properly, outside of my dreams. There was a certain tension between Lady Demyr and me, back when she escorted me to my room. I felt her hungry gaze on me half the time we were walking and the way she teased and flirted with me genuinely made me question whether I was truly a domme or just a very latent switch.

My mind started to wander as I entered my vivid phase of dreaming. I could feel the lady standing behind me, her soft graceful hands slowly running down my naked curves, feeling around for weak points to abuse later. Her breath against the nape of my neck just before she presses her lips against it.

I let out a faint submissive whimper.

“Can’t sleep either?” Lorelei’s voice cut through my lewd fantasies.

Her slender, muscular form swerved into the bedchamber, her piercing amethyst eyes staking me right through the heart. Her pristine white hair flowed down her back and contrasted the revealing black dress that hung down her form. If you could call it a dress at all; There was a single piece of string around her neck that held the thin piece of fabric against her breasts and the skirt was cut into half a dozen stripes of cloth that parted in a mesmerizing way with every step she took.

My eyes slowly drank in her beauty, salivating every single aspect of her body. They wandered up from her long slender legs to the curves of her hips and waist and halted for a moment as I fixed my gaze on her breasts. The cloth was slightly seen through and I could make out the darker shade of her nipples straining against the fabric.

“Like what you see?” she teased and twirled around slowly to offer me a better view.

“I- I… Fuck. That’s… You’re… You’re really fucking hot,” I finally managed to blurt out. The word mommy came to mind, though not in a familial kind of way.

A wolfish grin crept over Lorelei’s face and she undid the clasp that held the piece of string on her neck. Her dress fell to the floor, revealing her naked form to me. I felt a ravenous desire building within me and bit down on my lip hard, to quell the thirst.

Lorelei bit her own in a pointedly seductive way and took a step towards me. Reflexively, I immediately took a step back and wondered why I did that. Did she intimidate me? Kind of, yes, but in a sexy way that wanted me to let her use me however she wished. My eyes trailed over her luscious lips, both of them.

A familiar warmth crawled formed between my legs, yearning desperately for some much-needed attention. I tightened up my legs a little, but Lorelei’s sharp eyes immediately glanced at the subtle tension within my thighs.

She took another step and I retreated again. What was she going to do to me? Or with me? Images of all sorts of carnal pleasures ran rampant in my mind. Did I always have so much libido, or was that new?

Lorelei stalked further towards me and her eyes were filled with a hunger I’d never once seen before. She was a predator and I was her prey.

I shuffled back again but was suddenly met with the wooden frame of the bed behind me. Before I could react any further, Lorelei was already on me. She gave me a little shove and I fell back into the mattress.

I barely had the time to take a sharp breath, before she was on top of me, straddling my thighs between her own and pinning me into the bedding with her strong hands.

Her head leaned down to my neck and she whispered, “Do you want me, Marion?”

A sound that looked roughly like ‘isdbfisbdaudgai’ in my mind came out as a submissive “eep” instead. Which to Lorelei apparently meant yes, because her hands immediately started to wander down my body while she gently nibbed at my ear.

One of her hands trailed over to my left breast and started massaging it, while the other one continued further down and slowly ran over my belly.

I let out a soft moan as her hand squeezed my breast and danced up to my nipple. Lorelei’s breath tingled against my ear as she moaned my name, “Marion!”

Her other hand continued further down and my body started bucking up, wanting her to arrive faster. I felt the warmth between my legs buzz with desire. I felt hot, messy, needy for attention, needy for touch.

Her hand crossed my pubes and trailed over the little hood that concealed my clit. Her other hand pinched my nipple softly and I let out another moan, that was quickly answered by one of Lorelei’s.

“Marion!” she groaned into my ear.

Her hand between my legs glid across my wet slit, before moving back up to pull back the little hood.

“Marion!” she spoke again, this time stern, rather than seductive. The hand stopped just short of my clit.

No what? Don’t stop! I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t find my voice. My body felt weightless all of the sudden.

“Marion, wake up!” Lorelei called again; this time her voice came from all around the room.

My eyes flittered open as I was shunted out of my lovely dream. Lorelei was on top of me, shaking me around. “Marion, wake up already! We need to get going!”

“I’m awake!” I groaned, trying my best to ignore the lingering feelings of desire and the hot wetness between my legs.

“Finally, I was beginning to think you’d never wake up…” Lorelei muttered and stood up.

Kamir was standing a few metres further. Liana was already on his back, cradling the massive bunny against her. Our packs had been attached to a small leather harness that wrapped around Kamir’s midsection and the bedrolls tied up under them.

Lorelei stepped over to the massive canine and swung up on his back, shooting me an expectant look.

“Come on Marion, you can doze off again once we’re on the road.” She held out a hand.

I was still wary of the wolf, but I carefully walked up to him and grabbed the hand. She pulled me up and behind her, then gave Kamir a pat on the side and said something to him.

“Hold on to my waist, Marion.” The lewd thoughts immediately came rushing back in and I bit my lip to quell them again. Hesitantly, I wrapped my arms around Lorelei’s body. Kamir didn’t waste a second and began stalking into the trees back to the road, where he picked up to a full sprint.

Meanwhile, my head was going on a whole different sprint. Don’t think lewd thoughts, don’t think lewd thoughts, don’t think lewd thoughts.
