[NSFW] COMPASS OF TRUE LOVE - CHAPTER 16

Chapter 16: Yea so I am definitely gay. Very very gay. This must come as a massive shock to you all, I’m sure! At least I finally got to talk this through

-Stephanie-

We were in a cosy living room that had a winter cabin vibe to it. Me and Nydia sat on a comfortable loveseat; I couldn’t tell what kind of material it was made from, but it felt expensive. There was a larger sofa next to it and a fancy looking armchair next to that. They were situated in a half circle around a low round table that had some unfamiliar snacks and two colourful drinks on it. The open space of the half circle was filled by a massive hearth that had a warm fire going.

The walls were all made of wood, except around the hearth and the two windows I could see both had their shutters closed and some silky looking, embroidered curtains draped over them.

Nydia looked extremely comfortable here and I wondered for a moment if this was her home, but then I remembered she was from the south and I was pretty sure Rizishma doesn’t have winter cabins, or snow for that matter.

That kind of made me want to check if there actually was actually anything outside the cabin in this dreamscape, but I also didn’t want to mess around in Nydia’s space. That I was entering her personal space uninvited at all already made me really uncomfortable, but the last time we were in a public space, even if the other people there weren’t real.

This time it wasn’t public though. This was a small, cosy living room and it was only Nydia and me here. The stylish princess was also in her full getup again. The tight blue top with the yellow bands, the low pants that revealed the strings of her panties, the Gold and black makeup that contrasted with and intensified her dark hair and skin.

Her gaze was still fixed on me after she greeted me. She didn’t even look away when she went to grab her drink off the table to take a sip. I had no idea how long we’d been silently staring at each other either, but it felt like a long time. Then again, we were inside a dream and time was always weird in dreams.

She finally looked away when she put the drink back.

“Sephie,” she finally spoke up. “I… wanted to say sorry for tonight. When we made the plan to travel all the way here so we could spend the night at an inn I kind of got into my head that we would be sharing a room. Just the two of us. I really liked spending the night with you yesterday, but I was maybe looking for something more romantic.”

“Not that I have anything against Cassie,” she added. “I think she’s great, if maybe a little possessive. But I figured after she had you all to herself for all the nights on the road, I wanted to have that, too.”

I didn’t really understand what Cassie had to do with our situation, besides the fight the two of them had tonight. Like, Cassie and Nydia both really wanted to spend more time with me, but Nydia wanted it to be just the two of us? I didn’t really get the jealous and possessive part on Cassie’s side, though.

It did make me happy that Nydia wanted to clear the air, at least. I gently took one of her hands and gave it a little squeeze. “Thank you for telling me, Nydia,” I told her. “I’m sure we’ll get plenty of time just for the two of us. I mean it’s just the two of us right now, right?”

She squeezed my hand back and then moved over a little to lean against me. “Yea, I guess it is just us right now. Thanks for seeking me out, Sephie.”

I grimaced slightly. It wasn’t like I was deliberately seeking her out. This stuff just kind of happened. I was pretty sure at this point that the same kind of stuff happened with Marion as well, but I didn’t know how she existed in the first place, since her and my memories of our past were different.

I was dating Marlon until he broke up with me and left for the capital. But Marion claims to have been dating me as well, which made me believe she was either a subconscious expression of my sexuality; I couldn’t really deny that I was attracted to girls, even if I still wanted to pretend I wasn’t; or she was a being from another dimension.

All of that went out of the window when she wrote me the letter though. That pretty much proved she was in this dimension and very real. She was even told by Gerden that I was travelling, which meant she either found Marlon and Gerden on their way to the capital, or she somehow possessed Marlon. I really hoped it was not the latter one.

“What’s on your mind, Sephie?” Nydia asked, cuddling a little closer to me.

I gently wrapped an arm around her before answering. “Just a bunch of complicated dream stuff. I really need some answers on a few things, but I’m also kind of running away from them.”

“Do you want to talk about it?” the princess moved around to face me. She was practically sitting on my lap at this point.

“I’d rather not. At least not right now. Maybe we can talk about something else?” My gaze flickered over to the colourful drinks on the table. “What’s with you and those strange drinks you keep bringing? We had drinks like that in the first dream and even at Parzival’s but I’ve never seen anything like them before.”

Nydia flashed me her signature sharp grin again. “They’re called cocktails. I drank them a lot back home and Parzival’s has them because he’s been around there once before.”

That felt like a very awkward name for a beverage and I couldn’t help but think about phallic shaped glasses. But with the amount of ice inside them it didn’t surprise them they were from Rizishma.

“You were headed back there, right? Maybe you can show me around sometime,” I suggest absentmindedly.

Nydia frowned at me for a while after that. Wait was I overstepping? A princess probably wouldn’t be caught dead showing around a commoner like me.

“I was headed south to Rizishma or Eletheo,” she said, as if to clarify something.

I didn’t really know what to do with that information. Like, yea that was what I meant?

“I’m not from the south, Sephie,” she elaborated. “I’m actually from up north.”

That sent my mind into a little spiral. So she was from Thengel? But I was pretty sure there was no one like her in the imperial family. I wasn’t trying to focus too hard on appearances, but last I checked I was considered tan as far north as Thengel and the only two imperials that were her age would be princess Chaime and princess Lea. She was very clearly neither of those two. Did that mean she was from a rich merchant family instead?

I tried to sort my questions somewhat but ended up just blurting stuff out. “So you’re from Thengel? I thought you were a princess or something. Are you from a super-rich fam- “

Nydia quickly shut be up by placing a finger on my lips, before I could ramble on too much.

“No I’m not from Thengel, sweetheart. Just from the north. It’s kind of difficult to explain though,” she explained.

So she was from northern Argonne? She couldn’t be from the Dusklands, right? That was a demon infested wasteland, no human could live there anymore.

I opened my mouth again, but Nydia quickly shut me up with a kiss. “That’s enough questions for now, Sephie. I’d rather enjoy your company right now than talk about my home.”

Part of me wanted to protest, but I also didn’t feel like talking about the whole Marion situation, so it was only fair I didn’t pressure her into telling me things she wasn’t ready for. Even though I didn’t think it should be much of a big deal to tell me where she lived. Though maybe something had happened and that was why she was trying to get south.

So instead of asking another question, I cupped her chin and gently kissed her back.

It was chaste at first, but Nydia quickly became hungry for more and suddenly I found her tongue wriggling its way inside my mouth. I was reminded again of just how long her tongue was when it wrapped around mine. We kissed for what felt like an eternity, before I had to pull back to breathe. Nydia was still sitting on my lap; her thighs were sandwiching my legs and she was panting heavily. Her blue and grey eyes were filled with desire and I could feel her hot breath against my face.

My hands had wandered down to her waist during the kiss and part of me wanted to explore more, but I wasn’t sure Nydia wanted me to. Her arms were slung around my neck and she had a slightly dazed expression as she looked into my eyes. It was like her desire was fighting her reason but eventually desire won out.

She leaned back in and pressed me into the back of the loveseat and her lips brushed against mine again. She was only gentle for a second before forcing her tongue in again, not that I minded. It felt messy and hot and soon I could feel my body reacting. There was a growing warmth between my legs and I was sure there was already an expanding wet spot in my panties.

Her tongue wrestled with my own and she dove deeper and deeper. It felt like she was filling my mouth completely and I just started to worry about my gag reflex when she pulled back again.

My saliva was hanging on the corner of her mouth and she gave me a sharp smile.

“I wonder how the rest of you tastes,” she teased with a naughty smirk. One of her hands trailed down my neck and down my sternum until it found the first button of my blouse. She leaned over and whispered in my ear, “Do you mind if I take this off?”

My face was immediately flushed with heat and I was pretty sure I was blushing so hard she could tell even in the warm firelight.

I was entirely overwhelmed and my mind was barely functioning at this point, so I just buried my face in her shoulder and nodded.

She let out a satisfied hum and started undoing my buttons one by one. She didn’t move her head away from my ear, instead she began softly nibbling on it. After the first three buttons were out of the way the blouse slipped down a little and revealed one of my hard pink nipples.

Apparently, Nydia saw that as an invitation, because her mouth left my ears and closed around my nipple instead. I tried my best to hold back the moan that was forming inside me as her tongue danced across my hard soft spot.

Once she got her mouth busy, she took a lot longer to undo the other buttons. I’d turned into a whimpering mess by the time the final button was out of the way. She let out a satisfied hum and brushed her teeth against my nipple before pulling back. She flashed me a sharp grin and fluttered her eyes at me seductively.

“Gosh you’re adorable when you give me that submissive look,” she whispered and slowly climbed off of me. Don’t leave me now! How dare you turn me into this horny mess and not do anything about it?!

She knelt down in front of me and bit her lip with one of her fangs. Huh, I never noticed those before… Maybe that’s why her grin always looks so sharp? They looked cute though.

Before I could continue on that mental tangent, Nydia grabbed my thighs and shoved them apart aggressively. Her long-nailed fingers slipped into my pants and she started to slowly pull them down. I had just started to calm down somewhat but my crotch filled with a burning heat again when I realised what she was doing. It didn’t help that I remembered how fucking long her tongue is.

When she pulled my pants down far enough to expose me, I couldn’t help but try and cover myself up. This felt so much more real to me than the time with Marion, because I knew Nydia was real. And outside of the dreamscape she was only sleeping a metre away from me.

Nydia was still fumbling with my pants when she noticed my hands in front of my crotch. She looked back up to me and frowned. “Everything alright Sephie? Am I moving too fast? Do you want us to stop here?”

No! But… this was just so embarrassing. Why am I such a mess all the time? I wanted to tell her to continue. Tell her to take me, do whatever she pleased with my body. But I couldn’t find my voice. Whatever font of confidence I had back when I did this with Marion was gone.

I mean I really liked Nydia. She is so hot and sexy, but also super kind and caring and courageous. And I really wanted to do this with her; or rather have this done to me by her. So why was I trembling so much?

“Sephie? Are you okay?” Her voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

“I- uh… I don’t know. Everything feels right and I really want this, but at the same time I’m so overwhelmed and terrified and my thoughts are a complete mess and I just… I don’t know what is wrong with me Nydia.”

The ravenette slowly got back up and cuddled up to me on the couch. “I’m sorry Sephie. I didn’t want to hurt you.” She gave me a soft peck on the cheek and wiped a tear from my face. Oh… I was crying… fuck my life I’m such a mess.

“You didn’t hurt me Nydia,” I mumbled while wiping another tear away. “I just… didn’t know I had feelings like this for other girls until recently. I’ve been trying to deny them, pretend there was some universal reason for them rather than just… me being fucked up.” I let out a long shaky breath and Nydia buried her head in my shoulder.

“Sephie you’re not fucked up. You’re a wonderful, beautiful woman and the feelings you have are normal and valid. It’s the people in power who are fucked up for… demonizing us.” She cringed in disgust when she said that word and I could tell she was irritated by it. 

“And also,” she added, “Emperor Erothor’s daughter is gay as fuck, so the joke’s on him.” She flashed that sharp grin at me and I couldn’t help but smile back.

“How would you know that?” I asked with a soft laughter.

“I met Lea and her girlfriend in a bar in Duskfall. They’re good people.”

I couldn’t help but grin at the thought of the guy who outlawed homosexuality having a gay daughter. Maybe once the guy bites the dust things will get better here in the north.

I pressed Nydia closer to my body and planted a kiss on her forehead.

We continued cuddling like that until we slipped out of our dream.
