Kasumi was in the bath of the palace, wearing a see-through robe as her black hair laid out around her, the tips swirling in the water. The water dripped down her face and neck as she leaned back against the side of the tub, letting out a contented and relaxed sigh. She was alone for a bit until she suddenly heard the footsteps of two people behind her, and she sat up, looking over her shoulder, and saw that it was Asra and Julian. They were both wearing bathrobes of their own and both with smiles on their faces, which Kasumi took as a sign that they were planning something. "What are you two doing in here?" Kasumi asked. "I thought you two were in your own bath?"

"We were…" Julian answered, and he exchanged a look with Asra before looking back at her with a smirk. "But we both agreed that it was boring without you there, so we decided to come and… maybe make things more interesting."

"What do you mean?" Kasumi would be lying if she said she wasn't a bit nervous about what they were planning together, but, she was also a tad bit excited. She felt Asra slip into the bath beside her before moving to be in front of her.

"We want to make sure that you're… satisfied." Asra's violet eyes glistened mischievously, but before Kasumi could ask him what he meant, she felt Julian sit down behind her in the bath with just his legs in the water as he leaned down and wrapped his strong arms around her shoulders. "You look tense, Kasumi. Relax." Asra practically purred.

"Yes, listen to your master, Kasumi." Julian whispered in her ear. "Trust me, you are going to enjoy what we have planned." He kissed the side of her neck and took in her scent of roses as his hands reached down to her chest and slowly started massaging her breasts lightly.

"Wha…?!" Kasumi was stunned for a moment as she watched him touching her breasts, then she turned her attention to Asra, who was simply sitting there and watching Julian's hands also. "Aren't you going to stop him?"

"No." Asra answered and looked her in the eyes as he leaned closer, placing his hand on her knee. "As long as I get to touch you, too." His hand slowly traveled up her leg and to her inner thigh, so close to her center, but not quite touching it.

Kasumi's breaths started coming out in short pants as she felt herself getting more turned on by the second, especially with the way Julian bite her neck gently as his fingers lightly pinched her nipples. It clicked what they had planned, and she paused before asking her lover, "Are you sure you're okay with sharing me, Asra?"

He chuckled deeply and moved closer to her, his free hand tracing along her lips as he looked into her beautiful light blue eyes. "Of course I am. Julian and I were together for a little while after all, and I know that you find him attractive. So, if I'm going to share you with anyone, I'm glad it's him." He gave her a kiss on the lips, and she just barely registered feeling Julian's lips curl up into a smirk against her ear. Kasumi suddenly gasped into the kiss when she felt Asra's hand touch her through her underwear, and when her mouth opened, his tongue immediately slipped in effortlessly. After Asra finally pulled away from an intense kiss, he smirked and teased, "You're wet… and I know it's not from the water."

Kasumi heard Julian chuckle behind her, and he teased her a bit, too. "So, being with the two of us really turns you on, huh, Kasumi?" His eye seemed to peer right into her soul, and she nodded slowly, unable to form words anymore from being overwhelmed with this whole situation. "Good, but don't get too excited just yet. We only just started."

Asra let out another chuckle and said to Julian, "Though, Ilya… I don't see any harm in giving myself a… taste. May I?"

Julian smirked. "Go ahead."

Kasumi suddenly saw Asra take a deep breath as he used a spell to let the air fill him so he didn't have to breathe before he dunked completely under the water. She gasped in pleasure and surprise when she felt both his hands against her inner thighs and slowly spreading her legs apart. Meanwhile, Julian was still massaging her breasts as his lips, teeth and tongue worked wonders on the skin of her neck and shoulders. She felt Asra slip her underwear off before going back in and starting to work his tongue over her slit. "Oh God!" Kasumi gasped out as she felt that and a jolt of pleasure shot up her spine.

Julian nibbled on her ear as he chuckled. "Just wait, it'll get better. He has a masterful mouth… trust me." He winked at Kasumi by simply closing his good eye in a winking fashion.

Kasumi arched her back, her breasts pressing back against Julian's hands as Asra continued his treatment on her. "Ohh! Mmm!" She moaned. Her eyes got hazy as the pleasure of both Asra's mouth and Julian's hands made her unable to resist, not that she did much resisting to begin with. One of her hands traveled up to behind Julian's head and she looked at him. "Kiss me." She pleaded, and he obliged immediately, pressing his lips to hers and capturing her moan as Asra's tongue slid against her clit. With her other hand, she reached down and ran her fingers through Asra's curly silver hair and pulled him closer gently in a silent plea for him not to stop.

Suddenly, a soft, but audible knock came from the door…

–

Kasumi slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room. She was lying on hers and Asra's bed back at the shop, but when she turned over, he wasn't there. She sat up before slowly moving to the edge of the bed and dangling her feet over it as she rubbed her eyes, then stretched. 'Damn!' She thought. 'It was just a dream! A… very sexy dream!' Kasumi stood up and looked around the room for some clean clothes. Once she was dressed, she headed downstairs and saw Asra standing behind the counter, organizing some ingredients on the shelves, and Faust was draped around his shoulders lazily. She let out a deep, contented sigh as she walked further into the shop room.

It had been almost a month already since the Masquerade and they had managed to get rid of Lucio… for good this time. The courtiers had also been stripped of their titles and tossed in prison after conspiracy to kill Nadia and claim the throne of Vesuvia. Julian had managed to get a job as the palace's permanent doctor and he spent most of his time there with his sister. Nadia now ruled Vesuvia in peace and didn't have to worry about Lucio or her courtiers anymore, and Asra and Kasumi went to the palace to visit her, Portia and Julian often. Now, life was more-or-less, back to normal.

Kasumi then noticed the other person in the room and smiled at him. "Hi Julian." She realized that his knocking on the shop door must've been what woke her up.

Julian smiled back at her and walked over, giving her a friendly hug and kiss on the cheek. "Hi. What are you up to?"

"Not much. I just woke up."

"Do you want some tea?" Asra asked her as he walked over also. "Also, sorry I didn't wake you up. You just looked so peaceful, I didn't have the heart to."

Kasumi laughed. "It's alright, and to answer your question, yes. I would love some tea."

Asra nodded with a smile. "I'll be right back." As he started walking away, Julian asked him if they had any coffee. Asra chuckled, "I'll get you a cup of coffee, Ilya." He headed up the stairs, leaving Kasumi and Julian alone in the shop area.

"So, how's Portia and Nadia? Chandra and Pepi?"

"They're all good." Julian replied with a smile. "Pasha was saying yesterday that she wishes you and Asra were still staying at the palace, because now she hardly gets to see either of you."

Kasumi laughed again. "She has you and Nadia, though." She paused for a moment before asking, "Do you know what her relationship is with Nadia, anyway?"

Julian raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I was just thinking the other day that the two of them would make a decent couple. Don't you think?"

Julian hummed in thought, then nodded. "I never really thought about it, but… you're right. After all, they are really close, so I can completely see that happening. I don't know if it already is, though."

The two of them kept talking and catching up until Asra came back with two cups, one filled with coffee and the other with tea, and he handed them to Julian and Kasumi. "Thanks." Kasumi said as she took her cup and sipped it, the familiar herbal taste filling her mouth. She glanced at Asra and Julian over the rim of her cup as they talked, and her thoughts flitted back to the dream she'd had that morning before waking up. She had been curious about the two of them since she found out that they'd been together in the past, and she discovered that she rather liked the idea of seeing two men together. What the Dream Asra said filled her mind, "Julian and I were together for a little while after all, and I know that you find him attractive". He wasn't wrong, Kasumi did find Julian rather attractive, and his "bad boy" nature was practically irresistible, but she was in love with Asra, so she'd tried to push those thoughts out of her head. Now, though, thanks to that dream… she had some new ideas that she needed to explore. She cleared her throat to get their attention, and they both turned to look at her. "Can I ask you two something?"

"Sure." Julian answered.

"Of course you can." Asra answered also with one of his warm smiles.

Kasumi turned a bit to place her cup on the glass counter behind her before looking back at them. "So, do you two still have feelings for each other?"

Julian choked on his coffee as he took a sip and quickly set it aside before he dropped it and started coughing while Asra just stared at her, wide-eyed. After Julian got over his coughing fit, he looked at Kasumi, shocked. "Excuse me?"

"I know the two of you were together for a while, so don't even try to deny it. I'm just wondering if any lingering feelings between the two of you remain."

Asra and Julian exchanged equally surprised looks before Asra turned back to Kasumi and walked towards her, placing his hand gently on her arm. "Kasumi, if you're concerned that I might still feel something for Ilya, then don't. My heart belongs to you."

"Huh?" Kasumi then chuckled, confusing them both. "Oh, Asra, I'm not worried about you cheating on me."

"Then… why are you asking?" Julian asked.

"Because I was thinking…" Kasumi paused and thought the whole thing through again before shutting her mouth and shaking her head. "You know what? Never mind. Forget I said anything." She picked her cup back up and took another sip of her tea. 'What the hell was I thinking?! I can't possibly ask them that! Dreaming about it is one thing, doing it in reality is something completely different!' She thought.

"Okay…" Julian said slowly, now beyond confused, but just shrugged it off and headed towards the door. "Anyway, I should probably be getting back. I'll see you both later."

"Bye Ilya." Asra said, and Kasumi just nodded at him in acknowledgement before he left, closing the wooden door behind him. Once he was gone, Asra turned to Kasumi and looked at her strangely. "What was that about?"

"What was… what about?" She asked, trying to sound innocent, and utterly failing.

Asra sighed and folded his arms across his chest. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. Don't play dumb with me."

Faust slid off Asra's shoulders and slithered over to the counter in front of Kasumi, looking her in the eyes. "Asra and Julian." She said in Kasumi's mind as her tongue flicked out.

"I know, Faust." Kasumi sighed and looked at Asra, who was looking at her, expecting an answer. She took a deep breath and let it out, slowly. "I just had a dream before I woke up that got me thinking about your past with him, that's all." She wasn't really lying, but not telling the whole truth, either. "So, when I saw him here, I just wanted to know if either of you still had feelings for one another."

"What did you dream about?"

Kasumi's face went red as the highly sexual images from her dream reemerged in her mind and had her body getting hot almost immediately. The things Asra was doing to her under the water… the way Julian's hands and mouth felt on her skin… and thinking of how it could have continued had she not woken up. She looked at Faust who was still positioned on the counter in front of her, and looking in her eyes deeply, as if reading her thoughts. Kasumi panicked at that thought and quickly whispered to Faust, "Don't you dare."

Faust just tilted her head to the side before sliding off the counter and wrapping herself back around Asra. "Well?" Asra spoke up, and Kasumi realized she hadn't answered his question.

"It's nothing, really. It was just a dream, it's not even worth getting into, really."

Asra didn't really believe her, but he decided to just let it go and shrugged it off like Julian had.
