4.14 – Wand I

4.14 – Wand I

Looking around at Liz’s room, Natalie couldn’t quite keep the smile from her face.

“What?”

“It’s very you,” Natalie said diplomatically.

“Huh?” Liz looked around, then pouted. “What are you saying?”

“Nothing. Just that you really like the color pink, apparently. And fluffy things.”

“Who doesn’t?” She plopped down onto her bed and continued to pout.

Natalie was mostly teasing, though Liz had definitely put a lot more effort into decorating than she had—and was more ‘girlish’ by several degrees, with pink bedsheets and a mountain of pillows, and even a few stuffed animals. Having only had the room for a day, she must have made it a priority to customize her room. Other than the bed, though, it was fairly standard—a plain desk, drawers, closet, and mostly unadorned walls. But Natalie suspected that was because Liz hadn’t gotten to the rest of it.

Natalie sat next to Liz and fell backward, stretching wide with a groan. It’d been a long day, like most days at Tenet—even if they hadn’t gone delving.

“So. Think Johanna’s suspicious of anything?” Natalie asked.

“Sorry? Suspicious?”

“You know. Us. Alone, in your bedroom.”

Liz’s eyes widened, and she let out a single laugh, incredulous rather than embarrassed. “No, no chance. She knows I like girls, but hooking up with one while she’s here? And someone I’ve only known a few weeks? Like I said, she sees me as her innocent little sister. It wouldn’t even cross her mind.”

“So we can get away with whatever we want. She’ll stay oblivious.”

“What?” Liz protested. “That’s not why you’re here.” She hesitated, then corrected herself, “Well, kind of.”

“Kind of?” That was a promising clarifier.

“We do need to talk about, you know, all of that.”

“I figured.”

Liz rubbed her knee, not quite able to look at Natalie, who was still laying on her bed, rolled to the side with her head propped up on one hand. Liz stared down at her lap, cheeks quickly darkening.

“I can use [Illusion] to make sound barriers,” Natalie said. “Just by the way. You want me to?”

“You can?”

“This is practical weapon testing for the sake of being better delvers,” Liz pronounced loudly, the words muffled as she still hid her face. “Okay? We’re not just having fun.”

“If you say so.”

“I do!” the insistence came.

Natalie pried Liz’s hands away, then savored the beet-red face for a moment. “So, where is it?”

“My wand?”

“Or whatever other toys you want to play with.”

“Natalie!”

Natalie laughed. It really was too easy.

“It’s in my dresser,” Liz huffed. “Top drawer.”

“Your drawer? It’s a weapon, not a dildo.”

“It’s a weapon that turns into a dildo,” Liz growled. “So yes, of course I’m going to hide it.”

“It’s your weapon. It shouldn’t even work for someone else.”

“Still.”

Shaking her head in amusement, Natalie climbed off her healer, then went to the dresser. Rummaging around in the top drawer, she found the thin, smooth wand with a gold cap, then brought it back to Liz.

“Go ahead,” Natalie said, handing it to her.

Liz transformed the weapon, and soon, a flexible dildo—far thicker, but the same length, about twelve inches—rested in her hand.

“It’s so embarrassing,” Liz said.

“I think it’s kind of cool.” She took the toy from Liz and turned into over. “And fancy looking. Kind of gaudy.” She laughed. “Seriously. A gold tip. Guess that’s fitting for a member of the royal family.”

“Sh-shut up.”

Natalie placed the dildo against Liz’s stomach, lining it up so the base was at her crotch. At twelve inches long, it obviously stuck a long way up—especially because Liz was a tiny, petite woman.

“Not sure if you can handle it,” Natalie murmured. “But I’ll have fun testing it out. Testing you out. Now, let’s get you out of those clothes, yeah? We have a magic wand to experiment with.”Checkk new novel chapters at novelbin(.)com
