Chapter 10: Taming the Beast Within

Bell's heart raced as Aisha led him away from the bustling streets of Orario towards a quieter alleyway. He couldn't help but feel both intrigued and nervous about what awaited him.

Once they were out of sight, Aisha's mischievous smile deepened as she handed Bell a small vial. The liquid inside shimmered with a faint, ethereal glow, betraying its potent nature. Bell's gaze flickered from Aisha to the vial and back again, uncertainty etching lines of doubt on his face.

"What is this exactly, Aisha?" Bell inquired cautiously, his voice laden with both curiosity and apprehension.

Aisha's eyes locked onto Bell's, her expression both serious and compassionate. "This, my dear Bell, is an aphrodisiac," she replied, her voice hushed, as if sharing a forbidden secret. "But not just any aphrodisiac. This is the strongest one, handpicked by Hermes himself."

Sensing Bell's confusion, Aisha continued, her voice tinged with a hint of mischief. "You see, Bell, there's something between you and Ryu. I can see it in her eyes, the longing, the hidden desires. Hermes believes that this aphrodisiac might help both of you in ways you could never imagine."

Bell's face flushed with embarrassment and uncertainty. He hadn't fully comprehended the depths of his relationship with Ryu, but he couldn't deny the deeper connection they now shared.

Aisha's bold and flirtatious nature always managed to catch Bell off guard. Ever since she had lost her chance to sleep with him during their first encounter, she had made it her mission to seduce him in any way she could. Aisha would often tag along on quests and requests, using them as an opportunity to coerce Bell into sharing a passionate night with her.

Curiosity getting the better of him, Bell hesitated for a moment. "Why would I need an aphrodisiac?" he asked, unable to hide his confusion.

Aisha's gaze softened, her voice tinged with a hint of compassion. "Bell, have you ever experienced a woman completely submitting to your desires?" she queried, her words filled with an odd vulnerability. "A woman who revels in fulfilling your every whim, every second of it?"

Bell blinked, the concept foreign to him. "I... I don't know," he confessed, his cheeks reddening at the sheer audacity of the conversation. "I haven't really thought about it."

Aisha leaned in closer, her voice barely above a whisper. "I believe that it's essential for you to learn how to assert yourself, to dominate a woman and make her love every moment of it," she explained, her words dripping with a hint of temptation.

"Aisha, I appreciate your concern and Hermes' advice," Bell began hesitantly. "But I don't want to force anything upon Ryu. Our relationship should be built on trust and mutual understanding."

Aisha's eyes softened, and her voice was gentle as she placed a reassuring hand on Bell's shoulder. "I understand your worries, Bell. And you're right, trust and understanding are key. But sometimes, we need a little push, a catalyst to bridge the gap. This aphrodisiac could be that catalyst for Ryu to realize her own desires and let herself fully embrace them."

Bell pondered Aisha's words, realizing that there might be some truth to them. Ryu was struggling to open up about her own desires, and maybe this aphrodisiac could provide a safe space for both of them to explore their relationship on a deeper level.

With newfound determination, Bell looked at Aisha and made up his mind. "Alright, Aisha. I'll give it a try. But only if Ryu is willing, and if she feels comfortable with it."

Aisha smiled warmly at him, proud of his mature decision. "That's the spirit, Bell. I knew you would understand. Now, as for the practice, I'll be your guide. We'll explore boundaries and communication, ensuring that Ryu feels safe and respected every step of the way."

Aisha guided Bell step by step, demonstrating various ways to please and satisfy a woman's desires. She taught him the importance of taming a woman, tenderness, and the art of building anticipation. Bell's mind buzzed with new knowledge and possibilities, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.

Days passed in their secluded training sessions, and Bell's confidence grew along with his understanding. Aisha's guidance had given him a newfound sense of purpose, relieving his initial doubts. He saw now how this could bring Ryu immeasurable pleasure and happiness.

They spent the following days discreetly practicing, with Aisha playing the role of Ryu. She taught Bell the importance of a mans dominate role, communication, and attentiveness. Through their sessions, Bell learned to listen to his partner's needs and desires, to understand the intricacies of pleasure, and to appreciate the balance of power between a man and a woman.

Aisha, known for her beauty and captivating charm, had taken it upon herself to offer guidance to Bell, who was new to the world of adventurers. And in this particular chapter of their mentoring sessions, Aisha delved into a topic that held great importance in her work with the Ishtar Familia - the responsibility of avoiding undesired pregnancies.

Seated comfortably on a bench overlooking the glimmering river, Aisha began her explanation. "Bell, my dear, I must admit that this is a rather serious topic, but one that you must understand. In our line of work, adventuring can be exhilarating, but it also comes with its own set of risks, especially when it comes to intimate relationships."

Bell, young and innocent, listened attentively, his eyes wide with curiosity. "What do you mean, Aisha-san? Are you referring to... having children?"

Aisha chuckled softly, patting Bell's head affectionately. "Yes, Bell, exactly that. You see, adventurers like us lead dangerous lives, constantly facing life-threatening battles within the Dungeon. Bringing a child into such a world requires immense responsibility, both from the parents and the Familia as a whole."

Gazing into the distance, Aisha's eyes reflected a mixture of regrets and wisdom. "Many adventurers find solace and comfort in forming emotional connections with their comrades. Sometimes, these bonds deepen into something more, which can lead to physical intimacy. However, it is crucial to exercise caution and take preventive measures to avoid unwanted consequences."

Bell's cheeks flushed slightly as the realization dawned upon him. The concept of intimacy was something he had only recently become acquainted with, thanks to Aisha's mentorship. As he thought about it, he understood the gravity of Aisha's words.

She proceeded to recount stories of girls who had been impregnated, their lives forever altered. The consequences ranged from expulsion from the Ishtar familia to becoming trapped in an unwanted life as a mother at a young age, forced to sacrifice their dreams and ambitions.

From her own experiences, Aisha knew that the labyrinth was a volatile and dangerous place. The dangers they faced were enough to worry about, without adding the burden of carrying a child. Aisha was all too familiar with the pain and hardship that went along with it.

"That's why, Bell, I'll teach you about contraception," Aisha continued, pulling out a small book from her bag. "There are various methods available, such as magical charms, potions, and even simple awareness of a woman's cycle. It's essential to familiarize yourself with these options and never take any chances if you're not fully prepared to shoulder the responsibility of fatherhood."

Opening the book, Aisha pointed at various items and illustrations, explaining their functions. Although Bell felt a tinge of embarrassment, he realized the immense significance of this knowledge. Aisha wasn't just helping him become a better adventurer, but also imparting wisdom that would benefit him throughout his life.

"Above all else, Bell, remember that consent and open communication are vital," Aisha emphasized. "Never act without the mutual understanding and agreement between you and your partner. Engage in conversations about your desires and intentions, ensuring that both parties are fully aware and consenting."

As the sun began its descent, casting a warm golden glow over the city, Aisha closed the book and looked at Bell with a motherly gaze. "Remember, Bell, our adventures in the Dungeon are dangerous enough. We must not add further complications to our lives. A responsible adventurer practices caution and respects the potential consequences of their actions."

"As your comrade, I don't want to see you or Ryu go through what I've witnessed," Aisha continued, her voice softening with empathy. "It's not an easy topic to discuss, but it is vital. I know you two care for each other, and love can be a beautiful thing. But we must exercise caution and ensure that it doesn't hinder our journey."

Bell nodded, his young face now adorned with determination. "Thank you, Aisha-san. I promise to always be responsible and mindful of the consequences of my actions."

Aisha smiled, happy with her apprentice's maturity and understanding. "I believe in you, Bell. You have the potential to become a great adventurer, one who not only excels in battle but also embodies the virtues of responsibility and respect. And with those qualities, you'll be able to protect those you care about, both in and out of the Dungeon."

Bell realized that it wasn't about overpowering Ryu or dominating her; it was about creating a space in which they could both surrender to their desires, trust each other completely, and experience the true depths of love and pleasure.

Aisha sensed Bell's transformation and smiled warmly. "You are ready," she proclaimed, her voice brimming with satisfaction. "Ryu is such a lucky woman Bell, it's time to share what you've learned with Ryu. She will become like a puppet for you now Bell, if you are doing what we practice correctly. I know exactly how a woman thinks Bell, and now you do as well. Also I finally had you for myself, I'm warning you that Ryu will be begging you for affection all the time after this."

Aisha continued, " You will definitely need to use the aphrodisiac because Ryu will be more than surprised at what you have learned. I don't need her knowing about what I taught you about women. Hermes put me up to this, of course. However, I know a good opportunity. I'm a giving person, Bell, and people judge me, but I love what I teach them. If Ryu knew it was me, she would be so thankful. She would be kissing my feet. I think you should have her do that to you for me, Bell."

"Remember, Bell, I have shared this with you for Ryu's sake as well. She is someone who would willingly submit to your commands if you establish yourself as a responsible and capable partner. It is your duty as a lover to put her in her place! I don't care what other women say Bell, trust me, that turns women on alot, you need to show them who is the boss Bell."

"You're still wet behind your rabbits ears Bell, I have taught you and even Hermes did too. You're very lucky. You'll have Ryu or any other lover sucking your toes and calling you daddy Bell, you just don't want to become a real daddy until you're ready, understand?"

Aisha continued, "I also know exactly how men think too Bell. This comes from experience and from the teachings of Ishtar. The reason Freya hated Ishtar because Ishtar didn't like pomp or pretense like Freya who manipulated and charmed people with beauty. Ishtar was a champion of avarage people and the low class. Ishtar knew that people didn't need to charm with manipulative words and be the most beautiful or handsome. People just needed to be honest about human nature and exploit what comes naturally and that makes even avarge people irresistible lovers that have a power even stronger than Freyas divine ability. Freya hated how open and shameless Ishtar was, but it worked and many people recognized her teaching as even stronger than Freya, even if she was not as beautiful, Ishtar was practical."

Bell felt a mix of burning desire and emotions at Aisha's words. Ryu, his fellow adventurer and now a close lover, had always supported him through thick and thin. The thought of leading her towards a more stable and fulfilling relationship made him grateful to Aisha for her teachings.

In that moment, Bell vowed to himself that he would grow stronger, not only as an adventurer but also as a potential partner. He would heed Aisha's words and strive to create a future free from the worries and responsibilities that come with premature parenthood.

As Bell looked back at Aisha, his gratitude shone in his eyes. "Thank you, Aisha. I promise you, I will take your teachings to heart and ensure that Ryu and I navigate our relationship responsibly."

Aisha nodded, the corners of her lips curling into a smile. She had imparted her wisdom to Bell, knowing that he would make the most of it. Her work with the Ishtar Familia had allowed her to witness the consequences of rash decisions, and now, through her guidance, she hoped to change the course of Bell's destiny.
