CH 215: Morning After Sluggishness

Jasmine woke up in a strange mood. She felt more rested than she’d felt in a very long time, but she had a fogginess in her mind. Like she was only half awake. She kept yawning throughout the day and very nearly passed out multiple times. Other than that, there was nothing else. She felt slower and sleepy the entire day, something she wasn’t used to.

Lily and Ana kept an eye on her the entire day, but neither of them noticed anything else wrong with her. Lily wanted to test the limits of Jasmine’s “drunkenness” while they had the time and safety, but Jasmine did not want to wake up like this again. She did not like how her body felt that day at all.

She was kind of afraid of drinking her lovers’ semen again.

Jasmine needed to be alert and ready for danger, it was in her nature. Taking a rest day, or indulging in the high she had the day before, was not something she would let herself do.

Claire was too distracted thinking about Jasmine’s condition to really enjoy being with Toni all day. He was sitting in her lap, quietly humming to himself as he held the reins. It was only when Toni would adjust that Claire would be pulled out of her thoughts. His butt felt the closest to Elsie’s or Ana’s, but while they had a bit more bounce to theirs, his was surprisingly toned. It felt like a firm pillow in her lap.

“Claire?” Toni looked up at her. “Are you okay? You’re not very talkative today.”

Claire sighed. “Worried about Jasmine. She’s been all over the place since we left Restol. One day it was stress, the next she was acting off, and now this.”

“It’s a lot, I know,” Toni looked forward. He readjusted in Claire’s lap just to tease the paladin. “Lets hope her getting drunk was her body changing for the better. She was asleep for almost 12 hours.”

“That’s insane.” Claire shook her head. “She didn’t even stir when we woke up. It’s not like her.”

“I pray to Anka that this new change was for the better,” Toni whispered to Claire. “Maybe it was your Goddess pushing for her to relax. You did insist she did so back in your village.”

“I hope so,” Claire wrapped her arms around his waist. “I hope She did this change for Jasmine, and it isn’t a sign of what’s to come.”

“What do you mean?” Toni asked before he leaned back and rested his head on Claire’s chest. “What could it be a sign of?”

“Well, Jasmine was the first person I gave Her gift to,” Claire’s breath hitched. He was pressing his head against her left breast. “Maybe she’s just the first to get this new change. Maybe the twins will have something different happen to them.”

“You think Elsie and Ana are going to have a change soon?” Toni asked with a bit of worry.

“We don’t know yet. I’m waiting for Her to contact me again, but it’s been a while.” Claire exhaled. “I hope She’s okay, too. It’s been 2 weeks…”

“I think Anka would have reached out to me if anything bad happened to Her,” Toni pursed his lips. He could feel Anka’s presence more than he used to be able to. He got a tingling sensation whenever he did something She’d enjoy now.

“I hope so,” Claire tightened her grip on him. “I’m just tired of waiting and hoping. Feel like that’s all I’ve been doing recently…”

“Mmm,” Toni tilted his head and took a moment to think. “Maybe right now. But pretty soon, you’ll be missing this peace. Once the fighting with your Lady starts, it isn’t likely to stop.”

“That’s true, I guess,” Claire muttered. She thought about the sheer amount of chaos they were on the verge of releasing. Commoner rebellions weren’t very common, given that nobles controlled the population. “But still, in cases like these, I just want to help Jazz. I feel useless right now.”

Toni pinched Claire’s arm. Claire barely even noticed it and didn’t react. “Wow. You’re tough. But don’t talk like that. You aren’t useless.”

Claire giggled at his comment. “Not really. Not yet.”

“Could stand beside Hannah,” Toni retorted. He tried pinching her arm harder and harder to get a reaction from her. “Not many can do that. She’s like a brick wall.”

“Not to magic, it seems.” Claire laughed in Toni’s ear. “Her resistance is surprisingly low.”

Toni frowned at the lack of response from Claire. “‘I’m too stupid for magic.’ is what she’d say. She’s so stuck in her ways… It’s both endearing and annoying.”

“I’ve noticed how stubborn she can be,” Claire smiled. She grabbed his hand and interlocked her fingers with his. “I thought it’d be a problem, especially when she kept clashing with Ursa. But they have their… arrangement.”

Toni chuckled to himself. “I was surprised at how submissive Hannah was with Ursa, too. I have never seen her lose gracefully.”

“It’s pretty hot,” Claire whispered without thinking. “Having them fight to see who was superior. Having Hannah submit to Ursa whenever she wants… Far better than what I was expecting after that fight.”

Toni sighed. “Yeah. I was expecting Hannah to be a sore loser…”

“I didn’t know what was going to happen after that fight,” Claire admitted. She shivered upon remembering the sound and sight of Ursa’s arm breaking.

“Mhmm,” Toni mumbled. He felt a bit of shame for not being able to control her better. “How do you do it with Ursa? Control her so well?”

Claire pursed her lips and thought for a moment. “I’m not sure. I think it started when we met. Her wolf form was very passive with my presence and focused on our food. I thought her fur looked soft, so I took a chance and pet it…”

“Yeah, but what about training?” Toni pressed for more.

Claire shrugged. She really didn’t do much to train Ursa. She collared her and that was about it. “I’m not sure, really. I gave her a collar?”

“A collar…” Toni mumbled to himself.

“I treated her a bit like our dog back at the farm, but nothing special.”

“Do you think if I collared Hannah, she’d listen to me better?” Toni looked up at Claire.

“Probably not,” Claire giggled. She squeezed his hand tightly as she continued. “Ursa’s skill acts a bit differently, despite how similar they seem. The collar means more than just the accessory. It was her being tamed.”

“Damn,” Toni swore. He shuffled in Claire’s lap, causing her cock to finally stir. “Why can’t it be easy?”

Claire let a moan escape her mouth. “It might be more fun to train her, I won’t lie.”

“Yeah? What do you mean?” Toni smiled as he felt her erection slowly grow hard. He felt it settle between his butt, tempting his hole. “What kind of training are you thinking about?”

“A lot,” Claire struggled against the sensations of Toni’s body. “Like a reward system for her when she’s good.”

“Mmm,” Toni giggled. He settled down after remembering he had to be paying attention to the road. “Her punishment is what exposed Jasmine’s change… Not like it was much of a punishment to begin with.”

“Well, we have time to think about this,” Claire rubbed her hand up and down Toni’s thigh. She felt the lean muscle the dancer had built up over the years. “Maybe dance for her when she’s good? She does very much enjoy watching your butt shake.”

Toni giggled. He felt her hand tease his inner thigh, getting so close to his own growing erection. “That could work…”

“For punishment… I’m not actually sure,” Claire tilted her head. She took a moment to think, but came up with nothing. “I would have suggested servicing Ursa if they had any friction between them. But, she does that anyway.”

“Mhmm,” Toni nodded. He rested his hand on Claire’s. “Maybe take away the intimacy? Punish her by taking away the butt she enjoys so much.”

“That could work,” Claire whispered in his ear. She was very much enjoying said butt in her lap. “I think making her abstain would keep her in line. Speaking of which, what is the planned punishment for Elsie?”

“Oh, right,” Toni bit his lip. “Hannah really wanted to share her. Make her service the two of us for the day, but it hasn’t lined up yet. I was driving, then Hannah had to do double watch.”

“Might actually be a punishment for Elsie,” Claire tilted her head. The thought was making it harder and harder for her to concentrate. “She’s not good with our larger size, so after the first round, she might get a bit…”

“Cumdrunk?” Toni giggled. “I think that’s the word you gals use.”

“Yeah,” Claire laughed. “But now, Jasmine literally gets drunk off cum. So we might need a new word.”

“True, true,” Toni giggled. “But it fits so well! Her words start to slur, and she can barely stand straight. It’s so cute.”

“It is,” Claire nodded. “Think she enjoys being like that more than she’ll ever admit. She’s almost as stubborn as Hannah.”

“Almost,” Toni laughed. “No one beats Hannah at stubbornness.”
