Chapter 997 996: Dawn In The Desert

By the time that the sun began to peek above the horizon, we were already awake and enjoying the remnants of the cool breeze from the night before, basking in the slow shift from cold to hot as we laid on those lounge chairs.

It wasn't a special night in terms of actions taken towards one another, but it was certainly a special night thanks to what had been said, and the discussions that we had in between rounds as we bantered and chatted.

The verbal jabs at one another fueled the fun some more, the realizations and understandings we gained from said jabs as we defended ourselves or one another only made the sex all the better, and now, looking back at it all, we were all smiles as we lounged around on the balcony.

"Gods above that was excellent... That's one hell of a way to start off the day, huh? All we're missing now is a hearty breakfast and a good bath to tie things up, and then we'll be golden~!"

Jahi stretched beside me, the Demoness letting out a soft moan as she cracked and loosened her joints and body, before draping her arm over me again and hugging me close as we looked over at Anput and Leone, who were finishing up yet another round.

"Yeah... We're going to need to take today slow, I can already tell... Stay in the palace and just relax. I think I might have actually pulled a muscle... that's a first..."

Rubbing her lower back, Anput slowly pulled herself out of Leone and sat on the edge of the chair, the Jackalkin's ebony hair falling down towards her knees as she looked down at the ground for a moment, catching her breath and letting her body heal the small tears in her muscles.

I watched as she ran a hand through her hair to flip it back, my eyes drawn towards the messy, yet sexy display as my mate took a few measured breaths, her olive skin glimmering in the light of dawn, that thin sheen of sweat over her muscles casting the Jackalkin like a bronze statue.

An utter masterpiece and unique, incredible futanari who had the makings of a storybook character; that charm, the swagger, the looks... she had it all, and as those obsidian eyes looked up from the ground and met my gaze, I felt a swelling of pride and heat inside my heart as we stared at one another for a few seconds.

For a few long, hot seconds, Anput and I stared at one another with such deep and passionate yearning that I wondered if the space between us would simply shrink to bring us closer, only for those seconds - this impeccable and spontaneous balance between us formed from just a single glance - to shatter when Jahi chuckled and said "Don't be getting any ideas now, you two~!"

It was both irritating and amusing how Jahi so easily twirled us both back around her finger, the Demoness' own magnetic and selfish personality drawing us both in as she propped herself up with a single arm to get a better look at the Jackalkin as she added "I know we were talking about how you two would've been perfect~ mates just meant~ for one another, but that's in another reality, not this one~! Just remember who owns you, hm~?"

Snorting in amusement, Anput brushed some of her loose strands of hair back as she replied "How could we ever forget, Jahi? You aren't exactly some easy to ignore person y'know?", which made me snicker as I leaned back into the Demoness' chest and craned my neck to look at her face, adding "And you are quite literally holding my soul in your hands, so how could I forget out of anyone here?"

Jahi had waded over to lean against the ice wall, looking down at me and pursing her lips as she felt the shift in the temperature instantly, the Demoness trying her best to withstand the colder water only to shake her head and retreat back towards the other two, who were far enough away that the water remained at a 'bearable' temperature for her.

"It is because they're Fire Mages... which is why they can stand this blasted heat... and you're Light Mana - and being a Demoness - seems to have made you more adaptable to the heat since they feed into one another. Light creates heat and heat creates light. Meanwhile... I dislike the heat. Very much."

Dunking my head beneath the water, I got up and leaned against the wall where Jahi had been, staring at the three futanari who had stolen my heart in their own ways and taking in their beauty from afar, before adding "Still, I guess this is 'training' for me, in its own way. Annoying, but needed."

"It doesn't seem fair, does it? How Fire Mana lets us remain warm even in the colder areas, and yet Ice Mana makes the hotter areas unbearable for you without sufficient preparation. It's fascinating."

"Fascinatingly annoying."

Leone smiled at that, the Vampire shrugging her shoulders before resting against the wall of the pool, soaking in the bath and letting the 'filth' from last night be cleansed as she occasionally shrouded her body in mana.

"And just think, it's only dawn and you're already complaining~! I wonder what noon will bring, hm~?"

Anput smirked at me as she nestled into Jahi's embrace, the Jackalkin finally getting the Demoness' attention and affections after a long night spent being one of the 'dominant' partners.

"Oh hush you."

Rolling my eyes at her provocation, I dunked my head again and enjoyed the cold water around me some more before emerging again, this time to the sight of Anput and Jahi kissing passionately.

"Well... I guess that isn't really surprising."

I sighed as I laid my head on the ice wall, watching them from the other side of the bath and enjoying the view as Jahi cupped Anput's cheek and slowly kissed her, sucking on her tongue and making the Jackalkin moan as they shared their passions.

Leone was watching as well, though I could tell she was yearning to join in since her cheeks were red and she was twiddling her fingers as she watched, the Vampire unable to sit still and just appreciate a good show... though I didn't complain as she just made the show even better from my side, and I smiled as I thought about how our mornings would be the same no matter where we were.
