Mage Assassin 3 Chapter 4 (sex scene)

The crowd leaped up all at once, and a thousand voices screamed in approval as Cinis’ fiery crown confirmed her as their ruler.

And so the Ember Priestess became the Queen.

It was clear the ceremony was over when the fire beings babbled excitedly to each other, and Cinis vanished for a minute through a narrow door. Ephy, Nara, and I milled outside with the crowd to wait for Cinis.

By long standing tradition, every time the fire beings chose a leader, they held a celebration at the palace. And nobody celebrated like the fire beings.

The three suns had been falling lower on the horizon during the ceremony, and now they had all but vanished. Night was falling in the Ardere, and the courtyard was lit by a huge night-fire at its center, along with the far-reaching, ambient glow of the lava water below.

When I saw Cinis walking out of the archway again, it looked like she was naked at first, and I stared in shock. Then the night-fire’s smoldering glow started to wash over her, and it looked instead like she’d somehow bewitched thousands of shimmery, golden dewdrops to cling to her skin in the shape of a dress. She held herself tall and straight as she walked, but at the same time she was all curves, and the gold drops illuminated every one of them.

When she finally reached us, every eye in the palace courtyard was on her.

I realized finally that Cinis was wearing an actual dress, but the fabric was so sheer it was almost invisible until the firelight glanced off it every now and then. The skimpy dress was sewn through with what must have been thousands of glassy gold beads, and that was what gave the queen the appearance of being cloaked in nothing but flame-lit dewdrops. Each bead was no bigger than my pinky nail, and they barely even covered her.

Cinis seemed to feel my gaze. When our eyes met, I wanted to tear her clothes off right then and there, but I reined in the impulse. It probably wouldn’t be appropriate for me to fuck the Queen of the Ardere in front of all her new subjects, no matter how rowdy they were themselves.

A cloud of fire fairies floated past us then, and when they gathered together they seemed to produce some sort of golden mist that clung to the group.

Ephy’s eyes followed them with longing.

“They’re so beautiful,” the siren murmured. “Can I talk to them?”

She looked hopefully at Cinis.

“They’re nice enough usually,” Cinis said. “But they can be… temperamental, and I was only half-kidding about the potential for them dragging Dex away to their lair…”

“I’ll go with Ephy!” Nara offered, and she shared a warm look with the siren.

Cinis seemed reassured by this.

“Okay,” she agreed. “I’m taking Dex to go get a drink, but we’ll see you in a bit.”

She gave them both a little kiss on the cheek and took my arm to weave through the crowd of fire beings, who were getting more and more unruly as the night quickly gathered steam.

At one point, we couldn’t take a single step because Cinis’ new followers kept blocking our path to pay their respects to their queen. Over and over, fiery and smoking elves, nymphs, and something that looked like a coal-black goblin bowed low to my lover. They kissed her hand and smiled warmly with deep respect, and Cinis accepted every one of them with a patience I never knew she had in her.

I didn’t mind how much the fire beings made my skin sweat as they stood closer and closer to me. It was incredible to see so many of them in one place, and I stayed at my post by Cinis’ side while we inched closer to the palace.

Everywhere I looked, Cinis’ followers were drinking more and more of their fiery beverages. Their favorite seemed to be a liquid that was an eye-watering shade of yellow. It was found everywhere in tall, curved jugs that were made of a sand-colored material, and when we reached the interior of the palace again, I found several of the same jugs lined up and waiting to be tapped into.

The sand-colored exterior was rough and bumpy under my hand as I picked one up to pour myself some.

“Careful with that!” Cinis warned, and she snatched the jug out of my hand and yanked the cork out of it to pour the drink for me.

“Why?” I asked her in a baffled tone.

“It’s fire-scorpion venom,” the queen explained. “And if you drink more than a few drops of it, you’ll lose consciousness for a week. A whole cup would definitely kill you.”

She bent and tilted the jug a millimeter at a time until a few drops of the venom dripped into my cup. Then she handed it to me, poured a heaping dose into her own cup, and took a long drink of the acidic substance as casually as if it was a glass of water.

I frowned at her.

“Then why is everyone else here drinking gallons of it?” I pointed out. “Including you.”

Cinis arched a brow.

“Because everyone here is a fire being,” she told me. “Personally, I get a little drunk off two or three glasses of the stuff, but…”

She trailed off as she stared pointedly at a man with neon orange skin walking past with a whole jug held up to his lips.

“I see,” I mumbled as I looked mournfully at my cup that was empty aside from the two drops of liquid.

Cinis laughed.

“Here,” she said and reached over to grab a bottle full of something that looked like honey, but when she poured it, it flowed easily like water.

“Acriluum nectar,” she explained. “A gift from the fire shrews. It comes from the flowers of their cactus town, and it’s really rare.”

She handed it to me, and I stirred the golden liquid around. When I did, the neon yellow drops of venom spread into jagged tendrils like liquid lightning bolts. It tasted both sweet and spicy somehow, and I was sure the electric jolt that struck my tongue was from the venom.

“Can we wait a bit to go back out?” Queen Cinis asked me. “I adore my fire beings, but… it’s nice to be alone with you for a while.”

The look she gave me was coy, and I hadn’t been planning on it, but I kissed her there in the wide open room of the palace.

She kissed me back, and I could taste the venom on her tongue. Even a trace of it painfully shocked my lips, but I didn’t pull away. Instead, I guided our intertwined figures behind a stone column, and she pulled me against her with her back against the wall.

Then I parted her toned legs with my knee, and she moaned faintly into my open mouth. I kissed her neck when she tilted her head back, and then I turned it into a gentle bite. Her moan raised a little in pitch, and when I ran my hand up the inside of her thigh, the sound trailed off into a gasp.

She was already wet under her beaded dress.

“Do you want this?” I growled half-playfully in her ear.

Her black hair felt like silk when it brushed my face, and it was so long that some was trapped under the hand I had firmly planted on her perfect hip.

“Yes,” she breathed. “But… I think maybe we should take this somewhere a little more private.”

Her beaded breasts rose and fell rapidly as she stared at my lips, and I grinned as I slowly sipped my drink just to tease her a bit.

At that moment, a loud, shrill “whoooooo!” rang out from somewhere nearby. It sounded like a train and echoed around us in a series of fainter and fainter “whooo”s.

Cinis clapped both hands over her cherry-red lips to keep from laughing.

“What the hell was that?” I asked after I recovered from choking on the last swig of my drink.

“Fire nymph,” she explained with her hands still over her mouth. “They can get, er… noisy when they’re being… affectionate.”

I raised my eyebrows at her and gave her a pointed “if they can do it, why not us?” look.

She answered me right away like I had said it out loud.

“I’m the fucking queen, Dex!” she reminded me, and she gave my hands a playful swat, but her eyes were glowing red as the fire that lit the night outside.

“Let’s go find Ephy and Nara,” I suggested. “I’m sure they’ve had their fill of the fire fairies by now. Or maybe they needed rescuing from them.”

Cinis’ face fell a little when I mentioned Nara’s name, and she bit her lip. I shot her a questioning look.

“I’d forgotten that Nara has to go home,” she pouted.

“There’s no way you can extend her time here?” I asked, but I knew that if there was, then Cinis would have found it already. I was sure Cinis liked Nara just as much as I did and was longing for her to join us for the whole night.

Her next interaction with the witch confirmed my hunch.

After she’d snatched Nara away from a roguish-looking fire being, Cinis threw her pale arms around the witch in a hug. The queen’s face got a little concerned after she pulled back a bit and saw Nara’s face.

The witch had seemed pretty receptive to Cinis’ affections, and I thought she seemed a little disappointed at the sudden lapse.

“What’s wrong?” Nara asked, and she swayed a little when Cinis loosened her grip.

“You’re going to shrivel up like a prune, that’s what’s wrong!” Cinis cried. “I should’ve kept a better track of time…”

She fell silent and sucked in a cheek while she gently patted a finger against Nara’s closed eyelid.

“But I feel fine!” the witch protested, but her words were a little slurred despite her best efforts.

I turned to Ephy, who had extricated herself from a crowd of fire fairies to approach me.

“How many drinks has she had?” I asked.

The siren’s light-green forehead puckered a little as she frowned in thought.

“Not too many, I thought,” she reflected in her lilting voice. “But I think she might’ve had a shot of that venom stuff. I’ve been keeping an eye on her, and she seemed okay, but now…”

She looked Nara over a little skeptically and trailed off.

Cinis clapped her hands decisively.

“Right,” the queen declared. “I’m taking you home, Nara.”

“But-- I’m fi--” the witch sputtered as Cinis frog-marched her toward the edge of the flat terrace.

“I’ll be back,” the queen called to me and Ephy. “Wait for me.”

She gave me a significant look, and I quirked an agreeable smile at her.

Then Cinis gathered the drunken witch in her arms with uncharacteristic carefulness.

“Hold onto me,” she told Nara.

Cinis’ batlike wings shot out,and she leapt into the air before quickly gaining height with just a few wingbeats. The light reflected faintly off the dark iridescence of her wings as she took off toward the border of the Ardere.

“I hope Nara’s okay,” Ephy fretted.

“She’s with Cinis,” I said and smiled down at the little siren as I tweaked her light-green cheek gently.

She looked reassured, and the two of us meandered around the outskirts of the celebration while we watched the strange beings drink more and more. Ephy kept a tight hold on my hand through it all, but her blue eyes were wide with delight, and she kept gasping and pointing whenever she saw a “scary” being.

Every single one of them was covered in all manner of flames, sparks, coals, or just plumes of smoke, and I was lost in the strange sight when Ephy suddenly sent me an alarmed expression as she looked behind me.

I felt something warm flutter against the back of my neck, then my arm, and then my chest. It was a gentle touch like a breath of balmy summer air.

But summer air probably wouldn’t be this handsy.

I realized suddenly that a bunch of fire fairies had taken the opportunity to converge on me while Cinis was gone.

“Shit,” I muttered uneasily.

“Hello, Dex Morgan,” said a voice from overhead. Its tone reminded me of cinnamon. It was mellow and sweet, but at the same time filled with spice. And yet, something about it was ominous to me.

Another voice came from a fairy I could actually see, who was hovering close to me at eye level.

“We’ve heard all about your defeat of Ignis,” the fairy said. Her silky voice sounded almost exactly like the other one’s.

“So brave,” another fairy sighed dreamily.

“So dashing,” another cooed.

“You should come with us,” another invited.

This last part was echoed by several other fairies, at first in turns, but then they gradually started to talk over each other in a frenzied babble that got louder and shriller until it hurt my ears.

I growled and started to walk away, but dozens of hands clutched at my shirt, my pants, and my hair. The fairies were tiny, but they had the advantage of numbers, and despite my struggle, I could feel myself starting to slide backwards. So many of them crowded around me that I lost count, and they slipped quickly between me and Ephy. Some hovered overhead like they were trying to cut off any possibility of escape, and their wings vibrated like hummingbirds.

I didn’t see or hear her coming, but suddenly Cinis was there. She dropped to the ground and folded her reddening wings with a swift rush of air and a bit of smoke that slapped us all in the face.

Then the Queen of the Ardere stalked forward.

She let her red eyes flare at the little fairies, who were already backing away, and in less than a second, they had vanished completely.

I gave my head a quick shake to clear it. For a moment, the night felt unnaturally cold.

Then Cinis was in my arms, and she drew Ephy in beside her.

“They seemed so kind,” the siren lamented. “I’m sorry Cinis, I didn’t--”

Cinis interrupted her with a long kiss on the lips.

The siren looked like it caught her just as much off-guard as it did me. Then she closed her pale green eyelids and opened her mouth for Cinis’ tongue.

I was immediately hard.

After a few seconds, Cinis pulled away a bit, but she kept her hold on Ephy. One arm was wrapped behind the siren’s dainty waist, and the other was tangled in her periwinkle hair.

Then Cinis looked over at me through her lashes as if to make sure she had my attention, and she carefully grazed her teeth over Ephy’s lip in a much gentler way than she usually did with me. While she did this she traced a long finger back and forth across one of Ephy’s perky breasts, and the siren whimpered a little.

I saw her now-taut nipple press through the thin silk of her dress, and my blood burned at the sight.

“I’m feeling so exhausted all of a sudden,” the Queen purred, but she looked the complete opposite. “Maybe we can all go to my room and… lie down.”

Her eyes were glowing red, and she was looking at me with a hungry expression on her face as she continued to toy with Ephy’s nipple.

“Of course, Your Grace,” the siren whispered. She was obviously enjoying Cinis’ affections, but her ocean-blue eyes were watching my face.

“I’ll escort you two ladies to bed,” I said coolly, and I kept my face as ambiguous as I could.

Cinis’ expression immediately darkened, and she shot me a threatening look.

“You’ll be very much with us in bed,” the queen insisted. “I command it.”

I raised my eyebrows at her and lifted my hands in mock surrender.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

We crossed the courtyard and reentered the palace together. This time, we went straight across the big entrance chamber. After some twists and turns, we entered what Cinis called “the older part” of the palace. It had been extended and hollowed out from the natural tunnels that already wound through the huge, flat-topped mountain before the decorative structure that fronted the cliff was built. Cinis said all of this very casually, but both Ephy and I were gaping at the design since we’d never seen anything like it before.

Ephy traced a hand along the tunnel’s smooth stone wall.

“It’s so warm,” she murmured. “And…”

The siren paused and cocked her head like she was listening.

“Is there… water in there?” she asked with surprise.

Cinis nodded.

“There are natural hot springs that run through the rock here,” she explained, and her husky voice echoed as we rounded a curve in the tunnel.

Then we climbed an obscene amount of stairs and eventually stopped outside a big door that was roughly oval-shaped to almost fill the tunnel. The dark stone narrowed a little around it to seal off the gap, and the door was made of wood. It looked blackened like the shaft of the spear Cinis had outfitted me with to kill Sievni, and like the spear, it was hard and strong. It was also reinforced with something that looked like black metal, and the wood itself had elaborate, abstract carvings on its surface.

I recognized them after a second as flames, and I admired the precision of the smooth, intricate curves.

Beyond the door, Cinis’ room was technically a cave, but it was undeniably fit for a queen. At first, it flared out from the narrowness of the tunnel a little bit like a hallway, and then it suddenly opened up into a huge, high-ceilinged chamber.

We must’ve been at the very top of the plateau, because there were several glass-paned skylights set into the ceiling. The three suns had nearly set, and the constantly swirling stars of the Ardere were visible up in the sky. There were thick cloth coverings wrapped onto wooden frames that could be unfolded like accordions to cover the skylights.

One of the skylights was set above a sort of alcove in the stone that almost formed a room, and inside it the stone rose up to mold into a soaking pool or bath. It was full of water from the hot springs, and it had just a slight hint of the lava water’s glow. The faint steam that hung over its surface sparkled like gold dust in the air.

On the other side of the room, the bed was on its own loft that had been hollowed out of the stone right down to the steps that spiraled up to it. This height brought the bed within six or seven feet of the skylight, and I marveled at the starry view while Cinis led me and Ephy up to her royal sleeping area.

Earlier that night, the scorpion venom had filled me with a searing heat, but I didn’t realize it had left me until Cinis pulled me down on top of her and opened her lips for me. Just the lingering taste of it on her tongue jolted me with electric heat, but I could barely focus on this.

Both Cinis and Ephy were tearing at my clothes to rid me of them, and in a matter of seconds I was stripped down completely. Then I moved to help Ephy out of her dress, but Cinis wouldn’t release me.

“She can do that herself,” the Ember Priestess purred. “And she’ll be a good girl and wait her turn, won’t you, Ephy?”

“Yes, Cinis,” the siren giggled, and she crawled onto the bed like a little kitten. Then she curled up and sent me a blushy smile, and I realized she was eager to watch me and Cinis together.

I would certainly give her a show.

I didn’t even waste a moment to undress Cinis. I just tore her strange dress up to reveal her glistening pussy, and the fiery queen was quick to guide my rigid cock inside her, but I took my time about giving her the passionate manhandling I knew she craved. I teased her with light, rhythmic thrusts, almost like I was taking it easy on her.

“Dex,” she said in a dangerously polite voice that reminded me of the first time we met. “I am the queen, and it’s high treason not to pin me down against this bed and fuck me like you mean it.”

I had to chuckle.

“If you insist,” I growled, and I lifted my weight just enough to flip her from her back to her stomach and then locked my hands around her wrists.

“Like this?” I asked with a smirk she couldn’t see.

“Yes,” Cinis moaned urgently. The queen arched her back to press up against me.

I couldn’t help but tease her a little more.

“What’s the magic word?” I asked her after I made a single deep thrust into her hot, wet channel. Then I snaked my hand beneath her to toy with her clit while I went back to lighter strokes.

Her husky moan ramped up, and she tried to free her wrists from my now one-handed grip. I knew she would try to hurry me along if I released her at that moment, and I wasn’t quite ready to have my way with her yet, so I held her firmly.

She squirmed eagerly against my hand as I continued teasing her clit, and I reveled in the way her impatience brought her skin to an even more scalding degree.

Priestess or queen, when Cinis was outside the bedroom she was always in command, but I knew she often liked that to change when it came to sex.

I finally stopped playing gentle with her and started to fuck her in earnest. She gasped and then opened her legs further for me to drive my cock into her waiting pussy.

“More,” she urged me. Her voice was somehow both commanding and pleading for me to fuck her mercilessly, and I couldn’t help but oblige her.

She moved almost convulsively between the pleasure of my dick filling her from above and my fingers stroking her from below.

Ephy moaned softly closeby, and I glanced up to see she had undressed herself by now. Her fingers were tracing little circles around her nipples as she watched me have my way with Cinis, and when we locked eyes, she moaned again.

Then Queen Cinis arched against me and bit her lip to keep her moan from turning into a scream of pleasure when she climaxed, and her wings flared bright orange while her tunnel frantically clenched my cock. Her husky, blissed out cry pushed me over the edge, too, and I plunged the entirety of my cock inside her and held it there while I released a torrent of cum into her womb.

The heat of the Ember Priestess flared inside me and through every bone of my body, and I couldn’t help grinning as I let it take over my every thought. It was like nothing separated me from the fiery woman beneath me, and her moans seemed endless as I kept pumping more and more cum into her trembling body.

It was the longest orgasm I’d ever had, and I was glad it seemed to be the same for her. She was still spasming with pleasure against my cock after several quivering moments passed, and she let out another breathless whimper each time I rocked my hips forward slowly until I had emptied my last drop of cum inside her.

We laid motionless just panting for a few minutes after. Then I looked up and saw Ephy sitting cross legged and watching me with an expression of arousal and longing on her face. The naked siren blushed a little when my eyes met hers, but she didn’t look away. She pouted a little and trailed a hand invitingly between her legs.

I was sorely tempted to please the dainty siren, but I needed time to recover.

“Cinis,” I said as I stroked my hand along her wing, and the queen moaned in response. “Ephy is feeling left out. Why don’t you dote on her for a bit?”

“Yes, Dex,” the queen agreed.

I pulled myself from the heated sheath of her pussy, and Cinis obediently crawled over to Ephy. Then she straddled the siren’s willowy body and began kissing her deeply, starting at her pouty pink lips. She kissed Ephy’s light green neck and started to give her a little taste of the more dominant attention she liked to lavish on me in our second rounds.

Ephy writhed with pleasure when Cinis’ fingers trailed lightly down from her perky breasts to explore between her legs. Then she let out a soft, quivering moan when Cinis slowly slid a single finger between her satiny folds.

At two fingers, she blushed and spread her legs shyly for the queen.

Cinis didn’t waste any time. After a long, unblinking look at me, she smirked and lowered her head to purr her tongue against the siren’s clit. Ephy bucked her hips up inadvertently and then shyly tried to pull away like she was embarrassed, but Cinis wasn’t having it. She continued to stroke Ephy with her tongue while she made a show of fucking the siren with her fingers.

But when Ephy opened her bright blue eyes, they went straight to me.

“Dex Morgan…” the siren begged in her sweet, lilting voice. “I need you inside me, please…”

That was good, because seeing Cinis toy with her had made me rock hard again and filled me with the need to claim the siren the way she hungered for.

“Anything you want,” I murmured to the sweet siren, and she blushed as I crawled closer to her on the bed.

Cinis growled lightly when I pulled her from between Ephy’s legs, but one light spank to her heated backend made her much more obliging. The fiery queen tumbled to the side and laid herself out so she could watch me enjoy our delicate lover, and Ephy smiled obediently as she shifted to display her wet pussy to me.

Her whimpers as I slid inside her were music to my ears, and it wasn’t just because of her silvery voice. The fact that I could make her moan like no one else could after just a single thrust fueled my energy and ravenous need to hear it again and again.

And I did.

The siren couldn’t hold back her trembling whines of pleasure. First I fucked her on her back with her long, lithe legs up around my shoulders. She moaned with ecstasy each time I sank my aching cock into her soaking wet passage. Then I sat up on the edge of the bed and pulled her firmly into my lap to sit facing away from me.

“Dex Morgan!” She gave me a surprised little giggle. “I don’t… I don’t know what to do like this…”

“Don’t worry,” I growled softly in her ear. I know exactly what to do with you.”

I lifted her petite frame and slowly guided her back onto my rigid cock, and then I sheathed my full length in her tight, slick wetness. The siren’s musical, shuddering moans echoed off the walls and the vaulted ceiling as I gripped her hips and bounced her relentlessly on my dick.

“Fuck!” Ephy gasped rapturously.

The fact that I was able to make the sweet, shy siren cry out an obscenity just fueled me more. She gave me complete and total control, and I kept her sliding up and down on my cock with quick, furious bounces while I buried myself in her wet channel over and over with quick upward thrusts.

Ephy’s petite frame spasmed and writhed on my cock as she suddenly orgasmed, and at the same time, I released a flood of cum into her tight little pussy. Each pulse of my cock spurted more and more inside her eager body, and it sent shivers of pleasure through Ephy, so she continued to squirm and bounce on my shaft while I filled her.

Somehow, I knew even her own wailing pleasure paled compared to my own.

Ephy’s lithe back glowed in the pale green light of the mark on my chest, and an overwhelming surge of power shot through my veins. The sensation kept my cock throbbing heavily inside the siren for longer than I could tell, but when I finally satiated myself, Ephy was limp with satisfaction in my arms.

I chuckled a bit as I slowly slid her off my cock, and then I let her tumble onto the bed before I joined her.

Both women were looking dreamy and satisfied, and we laid together in a tangle, but somehow I didn’t feel tired, even now.

My mind was churning a mile a minute, and a familiarly powerful and strange feeling swept through me. I felt almost cold, but in a pleasant way that I couldn’t get enough of, but I wasn’t quite able to pinpoint why. A cool energy flooded through me, and it culminated in my chest with a feeling like pins and needles, but without the heat and unpleasantness.

And this happened every single time I made love to Ephy, but I couldn’t quite understand why. I hadn’t even brought it up to my sweet-faced lover because I wasn’t sure how to approach the topic.

All I knew was I felt fucking unstoppable, and not only did I love it. I craved it.
