Ryo knelt alone in a small cubicle, letting his thoughts drift in meditation. Once again, Ami's face filled his mind, followed by images of the two of them passionately making love. He could feel his body beginning to respond. With a groan, he shifted position slightly and struggled to refocus his concentration. More images filled his mind, most centering on Ami. Suddenly, a strange dark shadow seemed to fall over everything, eventually turning everything almost pitch black. He found himself recoiling from this before he could properly focus his attention to break through the imagery. A silver-white light of brilliant intensity seemed to wash away everything and he found himself floating, surrounded by innumerable crystalline globes of varying colors. A tremendous feeling of loss washed over him.
A hand gently touched his shoulder, and he felt a soft psychic touch drawing him up out of his trance. His eyes flickered open and he turned to see one of his instructors.
"Master Benjamin," he exclaimed softly.
"Just relax, Ryo," Benjamin said. "You seem to have gone into a very deep trance."
Ryo just nodded.
"You are a very gifted psychic, but even with natural abilities such as yours, this sort of trance is not to be tried until you have much more experience."
"I know," Ryo replied. "I wasn't seeking such a deep trance. I was just swept into it."
Benjamin raised his eyebrow in surprise, then sat down beside Ryo. "That is where the experience and control come in," he said. "But I think you should tell me what you saw. Such visions are often of the utmost importance."
A blush covered Ryo's face as he remembered some of it. "Ah, well... Uhm, I've met a girl... and I kept seeing her..."
"That is quite understandable," Benjamin said. "Don't be ashamed of it. Your senses will always be quickest to attune to those you love."
Ryo nodded. "But then this dark shadow seemed to cover everything, only to be washed away by a brilliant white light. After that I seemed to be floating, all alone, surrounded by countless small globes, each a different color."
Benjamin looked at him, his smile fading, and his hand brushing nervously across his white beard. "You are not the only one to have such a vision," he finally said, his voice barely a whisper. "But every other account of it I have heard suggested the light merely washed away the darkness. Your vision suggests a very different outcome."
"Should I try to find out more?" Ryo asked.
"No," Benjamin answered firmly. "You are not ready for another such trance so soon. You need to rest."
"I understand," Ryo said.
"In fact, I believe you should take some time off," Benjamin said. "Our next series of exercises cover areas that you have clearly mastered already. I will attest to that to the other masters. Go and spend some time with your girlfriend."
"Thank you, Master Benjamin," Ryo said with a happy smile. "Thank you very much."
"Enjoy yourself, lad," Benjamin said, climbing to his feet.
Ryo jumped up, shook the older man's hand, and hurried outside. Once more, he clearly saw Ami's smiling face in his mind.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ami sat at her desk, struggling to write a letter to her mother. She wanted to tell her about Ryo and her determination to pursue a relationship with him regardless of royal convention. Her first effort, she was convinced, had come across too weak, while the second seemed overly defensive. More than anything, she wanted her parents to understand her decision and to support it as much as they could. Now, as she read back over her latest attempt, she realized this was too blunt, effectively stating that she would abdicate her titles if any objections were raised. Knowing the furor that would ensue over that, she crumpled up the sheet of paper and added it to the growing pile in the wastebasket.
She leaned back and stretched. Just then, she heard a sound behind her. She leapt to her feet and spun around.
"Ryo!" she exclaimed, seeing him standing in the open doorway to the balcony. "You startled me! Have you given up on using the stairs?"
"No, my love," he said. "I just wanted to surprise you. I've been given several days off."
"Oh, my darling! That's absolutely wonderful!" she said.
As she moved closer, he slipped a pack off his back and set it on the floor.
"What's this?" she asked.
"I saw this in a shop, and thought of you," he said.
He opened the pack, and pulled out a bundle wrapped in cloth. Setting it on a table, he began unwrapping it, revealing a small fountain. He retrieved several cups of water from the bathroom and filled it. As he turned it on, water began to circulate, flowing down over a series of small terraces, producing a soft rustling sound.
"That's lovely," she exclaimed.
"So are you, my love," he said.
He drew her into his arms and kissed her lips, immediately feeling passion beginning to swell within him as her body pressed against his own.
She sighed happily, feeling a spreading warmth within her. Her nipples swelled against her dress, and she could feel the bulging form of his manhood through his pants, further increasing her own arousal.
"Oh, gods," she gasped.
"Is anything wrong?" he asked.
"Oh, no," she replied. "You just seem to completely sweep me away. I love it, but it's still a little unnerving because I've never experienced anything like it before I met you."
"I know the feeling," he said. "Since I've met you, my love, there've been times when it seems like I can hardly think straight."
She nodded. "But when I'm in your arms, I just don't care."
"I couldn't agree more," he said.
They kissed again, tongues dancing slowly and passionately. Her hands took hold of his shirt and began pulling it free from his pants. At the same time, his fingers ran over the back of her dress, unfastening the clasps.
She stepped back and slipped off her dress, then kicked off her shoes. He pulled off his own shoes, standing back up to find her again taking hold of his shirt and pulling it off.
"Oh, Ryo!" she gasped, leaning closer and kissing him deeply.
Her hands ran down and her fingers opened his pants, sliding them toward the floor even as they continued to kiss deeply and hungrily.
"Ami," he sighed, ending their kiss to bend down and step out of his pants, then to remove his socks.
She threw her arms around him and maneuvered him back toward the bed. Her hands found the waistband of his shorts, and she eagerly pulled them down, exposing his fully aroused and swollen manhood. He lay down on the bed and she moved between his legs. Her eyes lingered on the engorged purple tip. Leaning forward, she kissed his tip, then slowly licked his full length.
He felt the silky soft strokes of her tongue on his hardness, and her fingers gently cradling his sac. Her tongue swept back up to his tip, which she then took in her mouth and began to suck intently. Shocks of pleasure tore through him as her lips rubbed over the edge of his tip. He could hear the soft sucking noises she was making, even as his entire body trembled in response.
She felt him respond, and could already taste traces of his fluid beginning to emerge from his tip. Pausing for a breath, she pulled back for a moment, then leaned down and kissed his tip. She then carefully licked it with long, slow strokes of her tongue.
"Oh, yes," he groaned.
Opening her mouth, she took him in as deep as she could manage, pressing him with her lips and sucking at him. Her tongue rubbed along his tip.
He gasped again, feeling his tip enveloped in the silky wet warmth of her mouth, while her hand stroked his full length. Wave after wave of intense pleasure swept through him as she continued to work her magic on him.
Her own arousal grew still more intense as she heard his passionate moans, and felt his body tremble and his tip throb in her mouth. She pressed her fingers into his bulging shaft, rubbing them up and down. Pulling back, she took another breath, then brushed her tongue around the base of his tip before taking it back in her mouth.
He gasped with pleasure, his head feeling disconnected from the rest of his body except for his swollen, throbbing member. A sharp spasm tore through him as he felt the last bit of self-control fade away.
She felt it too, clinging to him eagerly. Excitement swelled within her. Another spasm followed and the full length of his penis throbbed in her hand and her mouth, before suddenly pouring out his fluid into her mouth. She gulped it down, then carefully licked him clean.
"Ami," he gasped, feeling spent.
"Oh Ryo, my darling," she sighed.
She moved up over him and pressed her lips to his nipple. He groaned softly as she sucked at it, then brushed it with her tongue.
He wrapped his arms around her as she pressed her lips to his. Sighing happily, he rolled them both over, moving above her. She smiled up at him and giggled softly. He kissed her again, sliding his tongue deep into her mouth.
She ran her hands up along his back as she let her tongue dance with his and reveled in the feel of his body pressing against her own. Her insides were coming to full boil as she yearned to take him inside her.
"Oh, yes," she gasped.
He saw the passion blazing in her eyes, with his own swelling still higher in response. Kissing her once more, he then moved down and pressed his lips to the side of her neck. He slid down still farther, taking her nipple in his mouth and suckling it. His tongue swept around the erect tip, then he pressed his lips into her breast and he drew back to the nipple, sucking at her flesh.
She groaned, enfolding him with her arms. Fire seemed to sweep out from her breasts as he sucked one and his fingers began caressing the other. Before she knew it, he was moving again, leaving a trail of soft kisses down across her abdomen to the edge of her underpants, which were soaked with her honey. He sat up and took hold of her underpants, sliding them down over her shapely legs and tossing them away. Running his hands back up along her legs, he gently spread them open and moved between them. Leaning down, he pressed his lips to her bare flesh just below her navel, then very slowly licked his way down onto her pubic mound. Anticipation grew within her, followed by a powerful tremor as his tongue brushed across her mound.
"Oh, gods! Please!" she cried, as he teased her with soft tongue strokes over the flesh of her mound.
He grinned, the aroma of her arousal filling his senses, then brushed his tongue along her nether lips, dripping with her honey. Eagerly lapping up her honey, he went over her lips slowly and carefully. He pressed his lips softly to her wet opening and slid his tongue through her lips.
"Oh, yes," she groaned.
She felt his tongue sliding deep into her channel, caressing her there and flooding her with pleasure. His tongue drew back and he sucked, drinking her in. She gasped with delight. Suddenly, his tongue stroked across her jewel, setting her nerves on fire and bringing a wordless cry of raw ecstasy from her.
He brushed her swollen nub several more times, enjoying her displays of passion, and longing to give the woman he loved as much pleasure as possible. Finally drawing back, he ran his tongue gently along the edges of her nether lips, tracing her opening, before reaching deep into her once more in search of still more of her honey.
"Oh, Ryo!... Yes!... Oh!... Oh, yes!" she cried in ecstasy.
Her body shook uncontrollably as he turned his full attention to her jewel, lashing it with repeated tongue strokes. Some were long and slow, while other came very quickly. The varying speeds and pressure were driving her crazy, leaving her utterly helpless to do anything but let wave after wave of ecstasy sweep over her.
"Oh, gods!... Oh, yes!... Darling!... Oh, Ryo!... Oh!... Yes!... Yes!... OOOHHH, YES!!" she cried, finally soaring over the edge to magnificent orgasm.
He pressed his lips to her opening, gulping down the flood that cascaded out of her.
She lay there, softly gasping for breath, vaguely aware of him licking her clean. Looking down, she saw him moving up over him.
"You are such a beautiful man," she sighed.
"You're beautiful, yourself," he said, kissing her lips.
They slid themselves up on the bed, in between deep, wet, passionate kisses.
"Ami," he whispered, his voice choked with desire.
She smiled up at him, her heart swelling with overpowering love for him, even as she was consumed with raw carnal desire. "Oh, gods! Ryo!" she gasped.
He pressed his body to hers, his swollen manhood spreading open her nether lips. Rocking himself back and forth, he felt her lips rubbing over his tip.
She slid both hands down to grasp his bottom, pulling on him. His tip sliding in and out was only making her desperate for more.
"Oh, please!" she cried.
He pushed forward, plunging his shaft deep into her warm embrace.
"Ooohhh, yes," she gasped in purest delight, squeezing her inner muscles around his throbbing mass as it shifted within her, and wrapping her legs over his thighs.
He too was flooded with pleasure as he pulled back, then thrust into her once more. His lips came down over hers and their tongues briefly danced together. He groaned in blissful euphoria as their bodies fell into unison, moving together in a timeless rhythm.
She pulled on him with every thrust, thrilling to the incredible feel of his manhood filling her up, and loving the exquisite sharing of soul mates willingly giving themselves completely to each other.
"Oh, yes!... So good!... Oh!... Oh, yes!" she cried softly, after successive thrusts continued to plunge his member deep inside her.
She pulled her legs up farther just as he drove forward once more, sending him still deeper into her womanhood and flooding her with exquisite pleasure.
He kissed her deeply, while holding himself inside her. Slowly, he rocked back, then paused once more. He pushed forward, holding to a slow, deliberate pace. Her legs pulled back up again as he moved, and she gasped as his member was buried fully within her warm, moist embrace.
"Oh yes, my love," he gasped.
"Ryo! Oh, yes!" she whispered.
As he continued his slow, steady pace, the fires of passion grew still brighter within her. She clung tightly to his beautiful swollen mass deep inside her yearning womanhood, longing to hold him there forever. He slid down from within her, her tightly constricting inner muscles letting her feel every bit of his motion. Their lips came together and they sighed in happy contentment. Her sigh turned into a sharp gasp as he pushed forward, again sinking himself deep into her. Their pubic bones pressed together as he held himself within her for a moment. Finally, passionate need grew still more intense, demanding more for satisfaction.
"Oh, gods!... Oh, please!" she gasped.
He pushed into her harder. Feeling her hands pulling on him more frantically, he increased his pace, while moving into her with the motion of his entire body.
"Oh, yes!" she cried.
"Ami, my love," he gasped.
As he moved, he struggled to hold himself in control, driving into her faster and harder. Again and again, their bodies moved as one, driving his wildly throbbing shaft past her tightly squeezing inner muscles. One more thrust, and her entire body was seized up in the force of climax.
"OOOHHHH, YYYEESSSS!" she cried, clinging to him tightly.
"Oh, Ami. I love you soooo much," he sighed.
She just nodded her head, already feeling him starting to move again within her, only adding to the euphoria flooding her pleasure-fogged body. Looking up at him, she saw the love glowing in his eyes, outshining even the overwhelming passion there, and just taking her breath away. She clung to him desperately, as if her very existence depended on it, knowing with absolute certainty that she wanted to share the rest of her life with him.
He felt the same certainty, looking down at her and pressing his lips to hers. His member plunged back into her, squeezing through her channel, still tightly constricted in the wake of her orgasm. The throbbing of his manhood was only growing more intense as they resumed a fast pace. He gasped for breath as he drove himself forward with increased desperation.
"Oh, yes," she groaned, feeling his shaft driving hard into her, filling her up so exquisitely with its warm mass.
Their bodies continued to move as one, even as their pace grew faster and more frantic. She cried out breathlessly with raw pleasure, feeling herself soaring uncontrollably back to the heights of pure carnal euphoria. Her hands pressed tightly into his bottom as he shift forward once more, adding her own strength to his, and sending his penis plunging into her yet again.
"Oh, Ami!... Oh, yes!" he gasped, barely able to think straight.
"Oh, gods!... Ryo!... Oh!... Oh, yes!... Oh, yes!" she cried.
Their next thrust seemed to take her breath away, while his penis throbbed wildly inside her and seemed to swell still larger. She groaned as he slid down. He pushed forward again, still swelling within her, setting her nerves on fire and sweeping her away into orgasm, while his seed cascaded into her.
"OH, RRRYYYYOOOO!!" she cried in purest ecstasy.
He clung to her, gasping softly, his body still locked in spasm, quivering as he continued to empty himself into her.
"You just make me so happy," she sighed, her body beginning to relax from her climactic spasm, but still holding his member tightly within her.
"And you make me happy," he whispered, softly kissing her cheek.
They lay together quietly, still conjoined, for several minutes. Finally, he lifted himself up and began to carefully slip himself out of her, then lay down beside her. She leaned over and kissed him.
"I just know we're going to be together forever, my love," he said softly.
A frown briefly flickered across her face.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Ahm... Well... Before you arrived, I was trying to compose a letter to my mother..."
"About us?"
Ami nodded. "But I just can't seem to find the right words. I want her to understand... but..."
"But you also don't want to burn any bridges if you can avoid it," he completed for her.
"That's right," she agreed. "I want her to know I am convinced this is serious, and that you are the one man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I'm hoping she can provide some form of dispensation from the rule that I'm supposed to marry a prince, but if not... I'm prepared to walk away from all that."
He sat up in bed and drew her into his arms. "Ami, my love. Please don't make any snap decisions," he said. "Look. Maybe a letter isn't the right way to do this. Maybe you need to talk this out with your mother, face to face."
"But I don't know when I will have the time to go home," she protested. "I can't just up and leave."
"Ami! I may not know Princess Serenity as well as you do, but I do know for certain that, under the circumstances, if you went to her and asked, she'd happily let you go right away," he said.
Ami fell silent, resting her head on Ryo's chest. "I guess you're right," she finally said. "I will have to ask her."
"Good," Ryo said, running his hand comfortingly along her arm. "And of course, you know that I will love you whatever happens."
She nodded. "You're one of the few certain things in my life right now."- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Where are we going?" Ami asked, as Ryo led her outside and toward the teleportation platform. He had his pack slung over one shoulder.
"You'll see," he said.
As they approached the platform, he handed a slip of paper to the wizard on duty, and led her onto the platform. A glow enveloped them, and they soon found themselves standing among large pools of water giving off a clear odor of sulphur.
"Hot springs!" she exclaimed.
"That's right," he nodded. "I thought you could do with a good soak."
She immediately slipped off her shoes, then pulled off her dress and her underpants. He discarded his own clothes and his pack, then followed her.
She stepped into one of the pools, lowering herself into the water. Right away, she could feel the water's power seeping into her, even as it warmed her to the core. He settled in alongside her, leaning over and giving her a kiss.
"Do you like it, my love?" he asked.
"Oh, yes," she sighed. "It's just wonderful."
They sat together in silence, just enjoying the warmth of the water, the sound of it bubbling, and the soft noises of nature around them.
"I'm already feeling better," she said quietly, after several minutes.
"I'm glad," he replied.
She could now sense every movement in the water, and feel where the springs were. As the water moved, she seemed to feel it swirling around her body and Ryo's. A grin crossed her face as an idea formed in her mind. Closing her eyes, she focused her attention on the water moving around him. She felt it swirling across the contours of his arms and chest, and sensed the swelling mass of his manhood. Her concentration slipped a bit as a warm sensation spread within herself. Refocusing herself, she adjusted the currents, causing a soft, warm flow to run up between his spread legs and over his penis.
"Whoa!" he exclaimed, feeling the water suddenly jetting up around him.
She focused her concentration still further, seeking to control every aspect of the flow. The water now coursed over his hardness, clinging to every contour of its surface, while the flow around it put it under pressure, actually squeezing him slightly.
He felt his manhood swelling as this sudden jet of water seemed to be growing even stronger. Shifting position, he found it moved with him. Immediately he realized the source of this current, reaching over and sliding a hand between Ami's legs, his fingers slipping through her nether lips.
"Oh!" Ami gasped, as his fingertip brushed over her jewel.
Water now bubbled up around them both as her concentration weakened. He pushed his fingers deeper into her, producing another soft gasp.
She squirmed as his invading fingers plunged into her channel, reaching over and trying to tickle him in return. His fingers stroked past her inner muscles, while his thumb caressed her jewel, setting her on fire.
"Oh, yes!" she cried.
He felt her fingers sweeping over him even as he continued his assault on her channel and her jewel. Dodging her fingers, he pulled back, losing contact with her opening. She moaned softly with loss, but still moved after him. One of her hands found his swollen penis, and began caressing it firmly. Arousal flared within him, fueling once again an intense longing for her.
Looking into his eyes, she felt it as well. He pulled her fiercely into his embrace, mashing his lips to her own. She moaned into the kiss as she felt his tongue plunge into her mouth, and her longing swelled beyond all control.
He drew her out into deeper water, then spread her legs apart. His hands slid down to her bottom, lifting her slightly.
She looked down at him questioningly, when she felt his swollen tip slide across her nether lips. Gasping with joy, she shifted herself, struggling to take him deep inside her. His tip slid though her opening.
"Oh, yes," she groaned.
He held himself still for just a moment, then buried his throbbing shaft to the hilt within her exquisite embrace.
"Ami!" he gasped in raw delight.
Their lips came together with desperate hunger while their conjoined bodies began to move as one. She felt his shaft sliding up and down within her, stroking her tightly grasping channel, and setting her nerves on fire.
"Oh, gods!... Oh, yes!... Oh!... So good!" she gasped.
The water was swirling and bubbling around them, reflecting her mood. With their every thrust, a strong jet of water seemed to wash past them. She felt the water's energy flooding into her, heightening her every sensation as it moved and flowed over and around them both. Within her, passion was soaring rapidly into the stratosphere of sexual pleasure.
He gasped for breath, being carried away just as rapidly, and recognizing that this coupling was going to be brief but intense. Higher and higher he soared as his shaft plunged in and out, in and out, driving through her tightly constricting inner muscles.
"My love," he groaned.
"Oh, yes!" she cried. "Yes!... Oh!... Oh, gods!... Oh, yes!"
The swirling of the water now nearly swept him off his feet. He turned, holding her tightly, even as he thrust himself deep into her. She clung to him with her arms and legs. He pressed his lips to her, and propelled his shaft into her once again.
She responded to his kiss with uncontrollable hunger, pressing her lips to his again and again. His shaft plunged into her once more, and her entire body shook. Yet again, he pushed upward, this time a spasm seizing his body. Her body responded, and she cried out at the sign of imminent climax.
He pushed himself forward, his entire body trembling and his penis swelling within her and throbbing intensely. The throbbing culminated in a powerful surge, extending him still just a bit deeper, before pouring his seed into her.
"OOOHHHH, YYEEESSSS!!" she cried, being swept away into orgasm.
His feet slid out from under him in an intense surge of water, sending them both under. Struggling against the fading grip of climax, he pulled them both up, and they gasped for breath.
"Oh, gods," she gasped breathlessly. "That... was incredible!"
He just nodded, still holding her up even as they remained conjoined.
The water in the pool returned to its normal calm as Ami went limp in his embrace. She gingerly lowered her feet to the bottom and bore her own weight. They kissed softly, and he gently withdrew himself from her. He then guided her closer to the edge of the pool, and they sat down. She leaned over and kissed him again.
"I'm sorry I let the water get out of control," she said. "I didn't intend for that to happen."
"I know," he said.
She playfully jabbed him in the ribs. "It's just that someone got me very distracted before I could disconnect."
"Good thing we weren't in the ocean," he said. "You might have conjured up a tsunami."
She shook her head. "The only tsunami is the one you unleash inside me, my darling. You just completely sweep me away... And it is soooo wonderful."
He grinned, kissing her again.
"It's getting late, my love," he said. "We really should be heading back."
She nodded. "And we'll need a bath before dinner. The others will definitely not appreciate it if we show up smelling like rotten eggs."
"Well, if you can manage not to soak the bathroom, I think we can handle a bath," he said, giggling.
"Oh, I can manage very well not to soak the bathroom, thank you very much," she retorted, as they climbed out of the pool
"And after dinner?" he asked, retrieving two towels from his pack.
"Well, after dinner comes... dessert," she said with a grin.
He kissed her. "I think that's the part I'm looking forward to."
"So am I, my darling. So am I," she said.< To be continued >
