Chapter Seven:
Lycoris hesitated outside of the T'Soni-Shepard apartment, glancing back nervously over her shoulder even though Athena had assured her no one else was due home. Several days had passed since their trip to Pandora's Toybox, but with Benezia following them around and her father keeping a closer eye on them than usual, privacy wasn't easy to come by. It had taken several days and a few aborted attempts for them to find a time when they weren't in school and one of their apartments would be empty. She hadn't even been able to prepare much for this evening, since Athena had taken the cock home with her. Lycoris had eagerly let her have it, since the toy had already caused enough embarrassment in her life, but now, she was beginning to regret that decision. She was the one who would be wearing it, and she still had no idea how it worked.
She nearly jumped when the door in front of her opened, but relaxed when she saw Athena's smiling face. A soft hand brushed her arm in a whisper of a touch that had her muscles clenching almost painfully. "Are you all right, Corrie?" Athena asked as they both stepped inside. "You look like you're about to pass out."
It was only then that Lycoris realized she was swaying a little. Her legs felt limp and unsteady, but she covered it up by leaning against the wall. "Yeah, I'm good." She knew she wasn't fooling anyone with her nonchalance, but she also knew Athena was too kind to say anything. "So, are your parents still out? What about your sisters?"
A playful light shone in Athena's eyes. "Mom and Diana are locked away in their rooms, and Benezia and Dad are both out. We'll be safe enough."
Lycoris's stomach lurched. "Wait, you mean we're not alone? Shit. What if someone walks in on us?"
"They won't," Athena insisted, folding a reassuring arm around her waist. Lycoris shuddered as the familiar warmth of Athena's body pressed against hers. As nervous as she was, their closeness weakened her resolve. "Diana always naps after training, and nothing wakes her up. And when my Mom goes into her room to work, she stays there for hours at a time. This is the best chance we're going to get."
"What about my place?" Lycoris offered, a last ditch effort to avoid embarrassment. "I know my folks have been home a lot recently, but I'm sure they'll go out sometime…" Instead of arguing with her, Athena reached up, caressing the side of her face and drawing her in for a soft kiss. As soon as their lips touched, Lycoris forgot all of her objections. She wanted this, no matter how frightened she was, and part of her didn't want to wait. She savored the sweetness of Athena's mouth for several moments, only pulling back when she remembered that she needed to breathe. "All right, you've made your point. We'll try. But you have to be quiet, okay?"
"I think you're the one who needs that reminder." Athena gave a cheeky wink before taking her hand and leading the way to the bedroom.
Fortunately, Lycoris didn't have a lot of time to embarrass herself once they got there. Athena trapped her in another kiss as they stumbled through the door, closing it with a kick and backing her up toward the bed. Lycoris was surprised by her enthusiasm, but she certainly didn't have any complaints. She groaned as Athena claimed her lips, enjoying the heat and glide of her tongue. Her legs threatened to give again, but her calves hit the edge of the mattress just in time. She fell down a bit less gracefully than she'd meant to, almost pulling Athena on top of her.
"Wait," Athena gasped, breaking their kiss and pulling back. She placed a hand in the center of Lycoris's chest, keeping her pressed against the bed. "Stay right here and let me get your cock."
Lycoris groaned, and a shudder rippled through her body. Hearing Athena call the toy her cock made it feel more personal, and her clit pulsed with want. She was curious to find out how it would feel once it was attached. Athena left her lap and opened a bedside drawer, rummaging through its contents. "I've been playing with the settings," she said as she pulled out the toy and a small remote. The cock was larger than it had looked inside its clear casing, but the color was still a uniform grey. "I, um... haven't tried putting the longer end inside me yet, but I think I picked a good size."
The slight note of hesitation in Athena's voice was a complete contrast to her earlier enthusiasm, and it melted Lycoris's heart. A grin spread across her face, and she reached down to stroke Athena's cheek. "It looks great to me. We'll try it like this, and if you want to make it bigger or smaller, we can stop and change it." She looked at the shaft in Athena's hands again, sitting further forward on the edge of the bed to study it more closely. The shape seemed human from what she could tell, smooth and uniform aside from the thick head and a few veins for texture. "Can you make it purple? That shade of grey is going to look weird with my skin."
Athena smiled and nodded her head. "Of course. I memorized the instruction manual."
Normally, Lycoris would have rolled her eyes at that admission, but she was simply grateful that one of them knew what they were doing. "Great. Show me?"
Athena's gaze zeroed in between her legs. "You'll have to take off your clothes first. I need bare skin."
Lycoris was only too happy to escape the tight confines of her pants. She undid her fly and wiggled her hips, shoving them down and kicking them out of the way. Her jacket came next, and she caught a glimpse of Athena peeling off her dress as she pulled her shirt over her head. Their eyes met, and both of them blushed as they realized how quickly they had stripped. "I guess I'm a little eager," Lycoris admitted with a sheepish shrug of her shoulders.
"Me too," Athena murmured. "Besides, I like you eager." She hooked her fingers through the straps of her underwear, dragging them down and out of the way.
Lycoris's eyes widened as she got her first full glimpse of Athena's naked body. Even though she had seen it before, the sight still took her breath away: full breasts, soft blue skin scattered with freckles, and beautifully curved hips. She squirmed on the edge of the mattress, hoping she wouldn't have to wait too long.
Athena seemed to read her mind. She reached for the toy she had set aside and scooted forward, stopping between her legs. "Time for the finishing touch," she said, fiddling with the remote. Lycoris watched with fascination as Athena rested the cock against her thigh. It began to change color, shifting to match the purple tone of her skin.
"That's really impressive," Lycoris said, "But, uh..." She parted her legs, revealing the dark inner folds of her azure. "You might want to use the color a bit higher up."
Athena sucked her lower lip between her teeth, and her bright blue eyes began to change color as well. "You just want me to touch you there," she said, but she seemed all too happy to follow the suggestion. She moved the toy higher, turning it around and lining up the shorter end.
Lycoris shuddered as the cock dragged between her outer lips. The blunt tip felt good as it slid against her folds, and she shifted automatically until it was pressed against the ridge of her clit. The shaft began changing again, darkening to a deep, vivid purple. The end result was much closer to how she actually looked, and she couldn't help grinning. "It's perfect," she said, surprised by the knot forming in her chest. Even though this was Athena's fantasy, she was swiftly realizing that it was important to her as well, although she couldn't fully explain the reasons why.
Any deeper thoughts she might have had quickly fled when Athena moved the seat of the toy away from her clit and toward her entrance. Lycoris swallowed hard, a little concerned about its thickness. The bulb was wider than any combination of the fingers that had been inside of her, but she trusted Athena, and this was absolutely something that she wanted to do.
Her lover seemed to sense her misgivings, and Lycoris was glad when she went slow. At first, Athena just glided the seat of the cock through her wetness, readying it to slip inside of her. Only after it was nearly dripping with her slickness did Athena bring it back to her entrance with purpose. She tried to calm down, knowing that it would be easier to take the toy that way, but it was difficult to do. It wasn't until Athena leaned down and started placing little kisses and teasing nibbles to her abdomen that she relaxed. They were tickling caresses, and Lycoris even let out a few breathless giggles as Athena succeeded in distracting her.
At last, Athena pushed against the very base of the toy, gauging how ready she was. Lycoris whimpered when Athena pulled back just as she was beginning to meet some resistance. She wanted this more than ever, and she didn't know if she could deal with too much teasing. After a few more soft pushes, all of which Lycoris was convinced were intended to rile her up even more, Athena seemed to stop playing. On the next thrust, she didn't ease up.
"Goddess," Lycoris breathed, not knowing if she wanted Athena to stop or keep going. Luckily, she didn't have to make a decision. Athena pushed just a little harder, and the bulb slipped inside of her on a sigh of relief.
"You okay?" Athena asked, gently stroking her thighs and stomach to relieve some of her tension. "How does it feel?"
"It feels fine," Lycoris said. The widest part wasn't stretching her anymore, so she could take stock of other sensations. She started to grow curious about how it looked, so she pulled her elbows up under her and took a long gaze down her body. The shaft stretched seamlessly out from between her legs, and the color was a perfect match. "It looks good, too."
"Mmm," Athena hummed as she reached down to adjust it, seating it even more firmly inside. "And it will feel even better once I finish this last step." A tiny sliver of her tongue poked out from the corner of her mouth as she concentrated on something, but Lycoris was too distracted by the innocently seductive move to pay much attention to anything else. That is, until Athena set the sensation transmitter properly over her clit and she could feel, really feel, where Athena's wrist brushed against her cock.
"Oh fuck," she blurted out, staring down at her new cock in wide-eyed surprise. Pressure rushed in to fill the shaft, and she clutched the comforter in her fists as her head began to spin. The sudden shift was almost overwhelming, and a visible shudder ran along her length as the stiff ridge of her clit throbbed against the transmitter.
She wasn't the only one who noticed. Athena let out a delighted gasp, hurrying to wrap her fingers around the firm base. The warmth of her hand made Lycoris groan, and her hips shifted off the bed, instinctively seeking more. "Can you feel that?" Athena asked, picking up a soft, loose stroking motion with her fist.
Lycoris didn't answer. She couldn't. Her ability to speak had completely deserted her, and the only sound she could summon was a strangled sob. The muscles of her azure clutched at the shorter end resting inside her, and the extra pressure shot straight up along her cock to pound against Athena's palm. She hadn't thought a toy could feel anywhere near this good. A familiar tightness began gathering in her lower belly, and her face heated up as she realized she was already embarrassingly close to orgasm.
"W-wait," she stammered, finally managing to form words. "Slow down a bit. It's... oh, Goddess... it's - it's really intense."
Athena did slow down, but she didn't stop the pumping motion of her hand. "Like this?" she asked innocently, dragging her fist from base to tip. The motion coaxed another rippling surge of heat along her shaft, and she watched in shock as clear fluid pearled at the tip. It clung to the small divot there for a moment before rolling over the thick head, making it shimmer with wetness.
A hundred questions raced through her head, but she couldn't make her mouth ask them. Instead, she took a deep breath and reached out, searching for the familiar shape of Athena's mind. It was easy to find. The warmth and affection there shone like a beacon, and asking to be enveloped in it became more and more instinctive every time they joined. Athena welcomed her inside, and she let out a small sigh of relief as their souls linked.
'Is... is that me?' she asked, directing Athena's attention to where she was looking.
'Yes. All you.' Even in her mind, Athena's voice sounded smug. 'Hopefully, there will be even more once I make you come.'
'When you make me... fuck.' Her eyes rolled back in her head as she remembered the vivid mental images Athena had sent her during their last meld.
An answering spike of desire shot back at her through their bond. 'Oh, Corrie. You're already so hard. And you can really feel me touching you. I can sense some of the pressure when I...' Athena's hand continued sliding up and down the length of her cock, picking up speed despite her earlier promise to go slow. Lycoris bit her lip, and the muscles of her abdomen bunched as she fought to hold still. Part of her was desperate to pump up into Athena's fist, anything to ease the strain along her shaft.
The ache inside her grew worse with every passing second. She tried to wall off some of her mind, to hide just how good it felt in an effort to cling to her sanity a little longer, but she could only shield so much. Some of her pleasure bled through, and it only encouraged Athena to go faster. The head of her cock pulsed, and the glistening drops of wetness became a steady stream. It made the movements of Athena's hand even smoother, and she couldn't help wondering how the silk of Athena's mouth would feel wrapped around her.
That was a mistake. Her clit jumped against the transmitter, and her cock twitched. She couldn't get the thought out of her head, and Athena swiftly latched on to it. Is that what you want? she purred, dipping further forward. Lycoris could feel the warmth of her breath, and the sight of her full lips hovering just an inch away was captivating. The fullness along her shaft doubled, swelling until she was certain it would burst.
Wait… Lycoris sent the thought through the meld, but it was too late. She was helpless to do anything except watch as Athena lowered her head. She didn't know what was more arousing, feeling Athena's soft lips lightly kissing the head of her cock, or watching Athena's mouth hovering directly over her. It was probably a combination of the two that pushed her over the edge before she could pull herself back.
"S-stop - oh, The..." Lycoris groaned, but it was too late. She couldn't have stopped even if Athena had listened to her. Her inner muscles pulsed, and all she could do was watch in a mixture of horror and fascination as clear jets of fluid shot from the tip of her shaft, painting wet lines across Athena's cheeks and mouth. She blushed with embarrassment, but before she could fully comprehend what was happening, Athena leaned forward. Warm lips folded around the head of her cock, and suddenly, Lycoris couldn't focus on anything except the heat of Athena's mouth. She tripped over into an even more powerful orgasm, releasing another flood as Athena looked up at her and deliberately swallowed.
She wasn't sure exactly what happened for the next several seconds, because the next thing she remembered was lying flat on her back and staring up at her ceiling. Her muscles twitched with aftershocks, and Athena was still gently sucking on the head of her cock, apparently determined to coax every last drop out of her. "Goddess… I am so sorry. I… I didn't mean to be so quick," she stuttered. "It was just… your mouth was so warm… so wet… and I couldn't help myself."
Athena finally pulled back, releasing her with a soft pop that made her groan. "There's no reason for you to be embarrassed," she said, a smug expression firmly fixed on her face. "You're just about the sexiest thing I've ever seen. And I can't deny that it was a nice ego boost. As long as you're not done after just one, and I'm confident that you're not," Athena said as she reached out and pumped her cock again, "I've got no complaints."
Lycoris reached down to still Athena's hand before her lover could get carried away. She didn't want to come early again, at least not until she had returned the favor. With that in mind, she used her regained strength to pull Athena up and over her body, flipping them around and reversing their positions. A shy smile spread across her lips as she stared down into Athena's eyes. "Hi."
Warmth spread through Lycoris's heart when a radiant smile lit up Athena's face. "Hi."
"Do you want me to take care of you next?" she asked, glancing down shyly between their bodies. They were pressed so close together that she couldn't see the lips of Athena's azure, but she could feel heat pressed against her thigh, and not all the arousal during their meld had been her own. "It only seems fair, since you... uh..." A blush heated her cheeks as she searched for the right terms. She had hoped the toy would give her enough confidence to hide her awkwardness, but apparently, wearing a cock only made it easier for Athena to unravel her.
"Since I sucked you off?" Athena finished for her. Her eyes were full of mischief, and her expression was the picture of smug satisfaction. "I didn't, really. You only lasted a few seconds after my lips touched you."
Lycoris groaned and buried her face in the pillow beside Athena's face. "Don't remind me," she groaned, but her shaft pulsed, swelling all over again at the memory. "I'm embarrassed enough as it is."
"Oh, Corrie..." Athena kissed her temple, trying to coax her out from her hiding place. "Watching you come that fast made me feel amazing about myself. But if it would make you feel better, I'll let you return the favor." Warm breath tickled the side of her crest, and Lycoris shuddered as Athena's voice dropped to a whisper. "You're already hard again. I can feel you dripping onto my stomach."
Athena flexed the muscles in her abdomen, and Lycoris shuddered as the motion teased the underside of her shaft. She groaned again, but this time, it was from pleasure instead of humiliation. It would be difficult to ignore the aching pressure beginning to pound between her legs again, but she had already taken her turn. She left the safety of the pillow and started down Athena's body, scattering kisses along the column of her throat.
Unfortunately, she didn't get far. "Not that way," Athena murmured, gripping her head and urging her back up. Lycoris gasped as a hot mouth sealed over hers, but she didn't pull away. Tasting herself on Athena's lips was actually rather pleasant. Not as good as tasting Athena instead, but the mix of salt and sweetness still made her push her tongue forward for more.
"Wh-what do you want, then?" she panted when they finally broke apart for air. "I want to make you feel as good as I just felt."
"Oh, you will." One of Athena's palms slid down her back, grabbing a firm handful of her ass. "But you can go down on me any time. I want to know what your cock feels like inside me."
Lycoris drew in a hitched breath, and her eyes widened with surprise. "What? You mean right now?" But her body responded to the idea despite her doubts. Another pleasant ripple rushed along her length as she thought about what it would be like. The softness and warmth of Athena's mouth had felt so unbearably good around her. She couldn't even begin to imagine how wonderful the tight, clinging heat of her azure would be.
"No," Athena drawled, giving her ass another insistent squeeze. The motion made her buck forward, and her cock throbbed against the flat plane of Athena's stomach. "Next Janiris. Yes, now. You want to be inside me, don't you?"
"Goddess," Lycoris said, her cock twitching dangerously at the words. "So much." She hadn't meant to be quite so honest, or sound quite so desperate, but when she was with Athena, her guard always seemed to be down. Luckily, her answer earned her a pleased smile, and Lycoris was confident that Athena wanted this as much as she did.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Athena inched her legs further apart, the invitation clear. Lycoris had to admit that she was nervous, but she was also excited and so very, very eager, both to experience this with Athena, and to please her lover. Athena's pleasure would always be paramount to her, even though she occasionally got carried away by her own desires.
Lycoris leaned down to capture Athena's lips in a deep kiss, needing to feel their connection and the confidence it gave her. Then, she reached down between their bodies, her hand skimming over the soft skin of Athena's stomach before she encountered the abundant wetness between her legs. "Goddess, you're so wet," she groaned as her fingers slid through the silky fluid, and an answering drop of wetness gathered at the tip of her cock.
"Told you I was ready," Athena panted, hands clutching unevenly at her shoulders. Lycoris loved the way that Athena clung to her, as though she would fly apart if she didn't have something to hold on to. It was nice to know that Athena needed her as much as she needed Athena, and she wasn't the only one feeling a little overwhelmed.
After drawing one last teasing circle around Athena's clit, Lycoris wrapped her fingers lightly around the shaft of her cock. She groaned at the direct contact, feeling it all the way to her core, but was able to position the head at Athena's entrance. She had to bite her lip to keep from crying out as Athena's heat painted the tip. It was unlike anything she had ever felt, and it was so good that Lycoris was afraid she might cry.
She gently pressed against the tight ring of muscle at Athena's entrance, surprised when she didn't come up against any resistance. Apparently, Athena had been telling the truth when she'd said she was ready. Lycoris slowly pressed her hips forward, listening carefully to every sound Athena made and watching her face for the slightest bit of discomfort. Apparently, she was going too slow. Athena's hands cupped her ass again, dragging her forward. "Oh, Goddess, please," she said on a soft whisper. "More, Corrie. I want all of you."
Lycoris couldn't possibly resist the heat fluttering against her or the pleas of the beautiful woman beneath her. Instinct took over, and she eased forward. The widest part of her head caught at Athena's entrance, but after a shuddering breath, the pressure relaxed. Suddenly, the first several inches of her shaft were wrapped in blissful warmth. The intimacy of the moment was too much, and she reached out, desperate for a deeper connection.
Slipping into Athena's mind was even better than sinking into her azure. The trust and affection there were already familiar, and feeling Athena's desire for her made her heart swell. It gave her enough confidence to start rocking her hips, and after a few gentle strokes, she was buried all the way to the hilt. Athena trembled beneath her, and Lycoris could feel ripples of excitement and curiosity traveling to her through their bond.
'Oh, Corrie... you feel wonderful inside me. So wonderful I never want you to leave.'
Somehow, Lycoris knew Athena was talking about the meld as well. Connected this way, it was hard to tell whose thoughts were whose. Part of her began to wonder whether the love that always enveloped their unions was only coming from her. But those thoughts were too frightening to linger on, so she latched hold of Athena's need instead, focusing on the stretch, the fullness, the desire she was causing. Knowing that she was the source of so many good feelings gave her another burst of encouragement. She began moving, curious to discover just how much pleasure she could give this way.
Athena whimpered as she pulled out, but clutched harder at her ass when she pumped back in. Lycoris shivered as Athena's knee hooked around her thigh and a soft foot slid along the back of her calf. It was clearly a request for more, and she did her best to oblige, forcing herself to leave the tempting heat of Athena's azure so she could establish a rhythm.
Finding the right movements took a little practice. One of her thrusts pushed against Athena's inexperienced muscles in an uncomfortable way, but the meld allowed her to make quick adjustments. After a few false starts, she found an angle that worked, dragging the head of her cock against the swollen place on Athena's front wall. It was the same spot her fingers had learned to find so well, and once she got it right, Athena began bucking, rising up to meet her.
'Goddess, more,' Athena pleaded She hitched her leg up higher, spreading her thighs as wide as possible. 'Please, deeper...'
Hearing Athena beg for her made the length of her cock pulse, but this time, Lycoris ignored the pressure. She wasn't ready to come yet. Athena was too wonderful to give up so soon, and she wanted to savor every selfish moment she could. She braced her weight on her elbows and dipped down for a kiss, swallowing Athena's cries. 'Fuck, The. You feel so good. I... I want…' She wasn't entirely sure what she wanted, but she shared the tangled mess of need anyway, hoping Athena would be able to understand.
'I'm yours. All of me.'
The confession was too much. Lycoris pressed her tongue past Athena's lips, desperate to claim every bit of her. The ache along her shaft swelled, and she sped up, thrusting harder than she had meant. Luckily, Athena seemed to relish the extra force. Her clit began to throb, and Lycoris hurried to reach for it, slipping her fingers over the slick ridge until she found the right speed and pressure.
Athena screamed and stiffened beneath her. Sharp nails raked up along her back, leaving behind stinging purple lines and deep indents as they clutched her shoulders. Lycoris hardly noticed the pain. She was completely focused on her goal: making Athena hers. The walls that she kept up around her heart to protect herself tumbled, and she didn't even try to hide the love she felt. She was going to make Athena hers, to be the best lover Athena had ever dreamed of, and those desires were making her more possessive than she'd ever felt. If she had any say in the matter, Athena would never have another lover. She just had to show her that she could fulfill any and all of her desires.
With the help of everything she could feel through the meld, Lycoris tried to focus on the spikes of pleasure coming from Athena. She changed the angle of her thrusts, feeling Athena's inner muscles shiver and clench around her when it made her cock press more firmly against the sensitive spot on her inner wall. It was difficult not to pound harder, and when Athena actually seemed to enjoy and encourage it, Lycoris didn't hold herself back.
Soon, Lycoris couldn't keep her hand between their bodies to continue playing with Athena's clit. She needed more leverage, more force behind her thrusts. Luckily, Athena seemed to understand. She slid one of her own hands down her flat stomach and took over the job. Lycoris couldn't help shivering at the sight, and a small jet of come burst from the end of her cock before she could stop it, but she was able to cut it off.
It was then that Athena seemed to go wild. Her lover had been an active participant up until now, encouraging her with arousing caresses, and sometimes demanding that she go faster or harder with more insistent gestures, but this was different. Athena began to writhe under her as though she couldn't get enough, or couldn't get exactly what she needed, and the things that came through the meld were more disjointed. Lycoris was bombarded with images, most of them sped through too quickly for her to grasp what they were, but she knew they were all about Athena's need.
Please… The plea came through the meld, the only coherent word that Lycoris had heard in quite some time, and it was a litany in her head as Athena thought it over and over. Lycoris was going to give Athena everything she was asking for. So she brought her hands down to Athena's waist, holding her lover steady against her more forceful thrusts, and knowing she was doing the right thing when Athena cried out and her hand began working furiously on her clit.
Needing even more of a connection, Lycoris leaned down to take Athena's lips in a demanding kiss. She thrust her tongue into Athena's mouth, mimicking the way her cock was taking her azure. The kiss seemed to strengthen their connection, and the pictures that had been so disjointed before snapped into place with sharp clarity. Lycoris gasped as she felt exactly what Athena wanted from her. If her body hadn't been on autopilot, she would have frozen completely. There were images of them in the future, not very far down the road, as a family. A real family with daughters of their own.
The image was so clear she was certain she could reach out and touch it. A young one smiling and bouncing around in her arms while Athena was obviously pregnant with another. She had never suspected her lover had harbored dreams like this, and while it should have sent her running scared, all Lycoris could focus on was how smug and proud she'd feel if she really did get Athena pregnant; if Athena were carrying her daughter. The idea tugged at her heart, taking root inside her mind and growing to envelop all her thoughts. It had belonged to Athena first, but with each thrust, each breathless kiss, it became harder and harder to resist. She wanted to give Athena everything she could, share everything she was. Why shouldn't they do this? If they loved each other...
She dove down deep through the meld, plunging past the crashing ocean of desire and into the core of Athena's soul. The light and warmth there was unmistakeable. Athena loved her. The feelings shoring up their bond weren't simply her own. Her heart soared with joy, and she fed into the images flashing through Athena's mind. She gave everything, all her dreams, the secret wishes she had kept hidden from the start. Linked hands, ribbons criss-crossed around their wrists, bondmate bracelets brushing as they laced their fingers together. The same hands, still braceleted, resting over the swell of Athena's stomach. A laughing child with her grin weaving between their legs, tugging at their sleeves and staring up with familiar green eyes.
The burst of love that enveloped her as she shared her hopes was too much. Lycoris tried hard to keep up the motion of her hips, but she had long since lost control of her body. All she could do was drive forward on instinct. It was frantic and needful, but neither of them cared. Athena was clawing at her shoulders, clutching down around her cock, desperate to draw her closer. The pressure between them swelled, rising so far and fast that there wasn't any way to contain it.
Corrie...
A small spike of fear jolted her out of their shared fantasy. It began to splinter around her, and Lycoris sucked in a sharp breath. She wanted Athena more than anything. Every instinct in both of their bodies was begging for her to lower the last walls around her mind and let Athena in. She wanted to sear part of herself onto Athena's soul, so deep she could never forget. She groped forward, trying to grab hold, offering herself up so Athena could read her. But the blissful taking never came. Athena remained just out of reach, so close it brought tears to her eyes.
'Corrie, I - we can't...'
Yes. They could. It would be so easy. She pleaded without words, dragging Athena toward the part of herself she wanted so badly to share. For one perfect moment, she felt Athena take hold, drawing from her and drinking in everything she was, but it wasn't long enough. With one last regretful 'I'm sorry,' Athena pulled back, pressing deep, longing kisses to her lips to ease the break.
But the moment was still enough to send her flying over the edge. Her poor, tormented body couldn't take anymore. She slammed back into herself as she came, groaning into the heat of Athena's mouth as a burst of fluid shot from the head of her cock. Her hips jerked, and the pressure along her strained shaft released in several powerful jets. Even if she couldn't give Athena the daughter they had dreamt up, she was determined to claim her, to possess every part of her and leave some mark of ownership.
Athena shook to pieces beneath her in the space of the same heartbeat. Tight muscle clenched down around her, rippling with each pulse of wetness that poured from her cock. Athena's fingers stopped and pressed down, trapping the hard ridge of her clit, and Lycoris felt herself twitch in sympathy against the sensation transmitter. It coaxed another thick spurt of wetness from her cock, and she couldn't stop until she had emptied herself into the burning silk of Athena's azure.
The strong muscles continued to squeeze down around her, demanding every last drop she had to give, and Lycoris was helpless to resist. She could feel wetness seeping out around the base of her shaft and knew that it wasn't all from Athena anymore. Through her pleasure, she couldn't help but embrace a sense of pride at having flooded Athena with so much of her release.
After the waves became ripples, Lycoris collapsed, panting for breath against Athena's neck. When she spoke, it was through the meld. She hadn't yet remembered how to use her voice. 'The, did... did we just...?'
'I don't think so,' Athena thought, but there was a trace of sadness in her voice. 'I only reached deep enough for a second. But Goddess, Corrie, I wanted to. I wanted to so much.'
Lycoris wasn't sure whether to be grateful or brokenhearted. She hadn't believed it was possible to want something so badly, with every bit of her soul. They were far too young to think about starting a family, particularly when Lycoris was certain Athena would be raising their child alone because she'd be murdered by Commander Shepard as soon as she found out, but that didn't stop her from wishing it were true.
'It's okay,' Lycoris thought back, sending as much reassurance and support through their lingering meld as possible, and trying not to let her own conflicted emotions bleed through, we have time. But even as she said the words, Lycoris wondered how true they really were. Lycoris thought she had felt some deeper feelings in Athena when they'd melded, and she was certain that Athena didn't want to create a daughter with just anyone, but now that their connection was fading, she doubted how much of those emotions had come from Athena and what amount were just her own reflected back at her.
Athena had admitted that this was one of her longest held and favorite sexual fantasies, and Lycoris was starting to wonder if perhaps it had been the overwhelming emotions of finally fulfilling it that had sent Athena so dangerously close to the edge of reason. She so desperately wanted to believe that everything she'd felt through the meld had been real, but that intense desire was also what made her doubt everything that she thought she'd gleaned.
"Corrie, are you okay?" Athena asked, finally breaking Lycoris from her internal thoughts. "You're still trembling."
Falling back into old habits, Lycoris let the confident, cocky smile she'd unconsciously copied from her father slip onto her lips. "Well, that was pretty intense." She leaned down and brushed her lips against Athena's, planning on making it a quick kiss, but getting caught up as soon as Athena parted her lips, asking for more. Lycoris could feel her heart twisting in her chest as it turned into a long, slow kiss, letting her believe once again that this could be more than just two friends making their first sexual explorations together.
Athena pulled back after a few minutes, drawing much needed air into her lungs, and Lycoris had no choice but to let her go. And as much as she didn't want to, Lycoris finally got up the strength to pull out of Athena, both of them groaning as the shaft slid free. When a tide of wetness followed her retreat, Lycoris instinctively cupped a hand between Athena's thighs to keep as much of her release inside of her lover as possible. Athena sighed softly at the possessive touch and curled into her body.
Lycoris pulled Athena close, trying to ignore the voices in her head for a little while longer and just enjoy this moment while she could. There would be plenty of time to question how Athena really felt about her later, when she was alone and not lying next to the woman who had the ability to make all her dreams come true, as well as shatter them into a million pieces. For tonight, at least, Lycoris would allow herself to believe in the fantasy she had woven.
