Godsforsaken

Chapter 11: Elven Harlotry

As we got out of the tub I used my control over Alisha to have her dry me off before before I allowed her to take care of herself and once all three of us were no longer dripping wet I took the two women back to the bed. Thankfully Alisha's bed was big enough for a princess and thus it was big enough for all three of us to sprawl out on it comfortably.

I laid down in the center, my head on the big pillow at the head of the bed, and spread my legs, then beckoned Anna closer.

“Do you really want me to do it again? Did I do that good a job last time?" she asked as she stared at my already-hard cock.

“You were pretty good, yes," I said. “With practice I'm sure you'll be better than Alisha.” I gave the elf a smirk and she gritted her teeth in a way that could be interpreted as a grin, the same way a wolf baring its teeth could.

But Anna didn't notice and simply scooted close to me until she was lying flat on her stomach between my legs, her hands on my thighs. She licked her lips, then looked up at me. I gave her a single nod and she started kissing the tip of my cock, wetting her lips with my precum. She leaned down, taking more of it in her mouth and pushing the foreskin down with her lips, then started swirling her tongue around the sensitive tip.

I closed my eyes for a moment and just reveled in the sensation, then looked up at Alisha, who was obediently standing next to the bed, watching us, her juices running down her thighs. I was sure I could drive her absolutely crazy by just ordering her to stand there and watch as I made love to Anna, but where would the fun be in that?

So instead I looked her in the eyes and said: “Lay down behind Anna and lick her, really get your face between her cheeks. I want you to play with both of her holes.”

Alisha bit her lip in anticipation but only acted when the collar forced her to.

I wondered what that was about. Did she enjoy the sensation of the collar forcing her to act so much she actively resisted my commands until it activated?

Either way, she crawled onto the bed, spread Anna's ass cheeks with her hands and buried her face in between them.

“Mmmh!" Anna whimpered around my cock and I could see Alisha going to town on her, shoving a rigid tongue into Anna's tight pucker and then lapping at it like a dog.

The sight alone was arousing enough but combined with Anna working my cock it was almost more than I could take.

“Think you can take a bit more?" I asked her quietly.

She looked up at me with glossy eyes and blinked in affirmation.

I stroked her cheek and then placed a hand over one of hers, still resting on my thigh. “Pinch me if it gets too much, alright?”

She blinked again and I grabbed the back of her head, threading my fingers through her once again short hair. Once I had a good hold of her I started bobbing her head up and down on my cock in gentle, shallow strokes, slowly acclimating her to the feeling of it, of her not being the one in control of the pace.

She'd said she wanted me to do to her what I usually did to Selene, so I would start by gently getting her used to it. I watched her like a hawk as I kept bobbing her up and down on my cock, pulling her off it entirely every now and again, and even though it left her gasping and red-faced, with saliva running freely down her chin, she kept eagerly opening her mouth for me and swirling her tongue around as best she could.

She was a quick study and even though she barely had any experience with it she already felt beyond amazing.

I chanced a look back at Alisha and saw that the elf had graduated to sucking Anna's clit while she fingered her asshole with one and her pussy with two fingers.

It was too much. I tried to bite my lip to keep the orgasm at bay but I just couldn't hold on.

“I'm gonna cum," I told Anna. “Take it in your mouth but don't swallow it, alright?”

She blinked again and I stopped trying to hold back.

“Mmmh!" she squeaked out as I started filling her up, spasm after spasm unloading into your mouth until her cheeks bulged outward just the tiniest bit.

Even so she kept up her ministrations as best she could, lapping at the underside of my dick and massaging it with her lips.

“Good girl," I groaned out as I let go of her hair and patted her head gently before I turned to Alisha: “Get over here and drink what she's holding onto for you.”

“Yes, Master," she said, rushing to Anna's side so fast the collar didn't even have a chance to force her.

I knew watching me with other women always made her indescribably horny but it was still amazing to see it in action. She damn near tackled Anna, flipped her on her back and shoved her tongue into the princess' mouth and soon I was treated to a symphony of slurping, swallowing, lapping and moaning sounds as Alisha practically violated Anna's mouth with her tongue, more thoroughly even than I had done with my cock before.

When there was absolutely none of my seed left in Anna's mouth she managed to shove Alisha off her. The princess panted out: “I'm... starting to see... why Yume calls you in... insatiable.”

Alisha tittered and Anna used the distraction to flip the two of them around so she was on top. She grabbed the elf by the throat and kept her pressed into the mattress, then began to finger her roughly.

I watched the spectacle for a moment before I decided to get involved. My poor, abused cock still needed a few minutes but I had just the thing in mind until then. “Anna?" I asked and waited until she looked up. “Get down there and torment her properly. Don't hold back. She's not allowed to come without my permission and she's not getting that anytime soon, so go wild.”

Anna's lips curled up into a devious smile before she slid down. Just seconds later Alisha was already whimpering and grasping at the sheets.

I slid down as well and hooked a finger into the D-ring on Alisha's collar to pull her into a hard, rough kiss. She looked like a hot mess and that was by far the best look for my little deviant.

“You know what comes next, right?" I asked her with a wicked smile.

She grinned at me. “Checkers?”

Smack!

I slapped her. It wasn't a gentle slap, either. It made her head rock sideways and she looked close to orgasm when she made eye contact with me again.

“You made me an offer and I intend to collect on it," I told her.

In response she licked her lips, her eyes practically glowing. “Is that an order, Master?”

Smack! I slapped her other cheek just as hard. “You better believe it is.”

And then I took a deep breath and considered what I was about to do. Under ordinary circumstances the idea was too mortifying to even consider, but these weren't ordinary circumstances. There'd been enough powdered unicorn horn to go around, she'd actively offered it, and she wanted to be humiliated.

Fuck it.

I scooted over until I was kneeling over Alisha's face and then dropped my ass down on her face, careful not to put too much of my weight on her. Almost immediately I felt her wet tongue lapping at my ass, first tentatively and then with growing enthusiasm.

She swirled it around, then prodded at the opening, then placed a gentle kiss on the ring of muscle and then went back to lapping, getting more and more into it as she went until her attentions made the sort of obscene squelching sounds I usually only heard from one of my women and only when they were sopping wet.

Athena's bush but it felt amazing. Mortifying, certainly, but amazing nevertheless. I just reveled in the sensation as I listened to Alisha's quiet whimpering and the obscene squelching sounds coming from both Alisha's and Anna's ministrations. Soon enough I found myself rock hard again.

I locked eyes with Alisha and asked: “Do you want to come?”

She nodded as best she could.

“Same as Anna, you get to come with my cock down your throat.”

In response she closed her eyes and then I felt her tongue prod even deeper, as if in approval.

“Alright then," I said. “You asked for it.”

Then I got off her, locked eyes with Anna so she knew what I was going to do, and then pulled Alisha so that her head was hanging off the bed. As I did that I idly noticed that there was a rather phallic tool lodged deep in Alisha's pussy and something else that I couldn't quite place peaked out of the elf's ass.

“You've been holding out on me," I told Anna. “I didn't know you had such a nice collection of toys.”

She grinned. “I'll be happy to share them with you.”

“I'll get back to you on that," I said as I positioned myself right in front of Alisha and the elf obediently opened her mouth for me. I looked down at her and told her: “The moment my cum hits your tongue you're allowed to come. Understood?”

“Yes, Master," she said, then opened her mouth again and stuck her tongue out, trying to reach the tip of my cock. I leaned back a bit, making her strain her neck as she tried even harder to reach me, and when I had her completely off balance I shoved forward and buried my cock in her throat.

“Mmmf!” The sound Alisha produced was utterly undignified, almost bestial, and it drove me wild as I started to pump myself in and out of her mouth.

“Gods above," Anna muttered as she crawled closer to get a better look. She was still lazily working Alisha's clit with one hand but clearly her attention was elsewhere at the moment.

I was about to reprimand her but then my curiosity won out. I'd given Alisha permission to come once she tasted my cum, but would she be able to with minimal stimulation? Was what Anna had done to her before enough? Would all the attention the princess had lavished onto her catch up with her once she had my permission? Or would she finally be allowed to come but find herself unable to? A wicked grin spread across my face as I decided that both options appealed in their own ways.

With that in mind I started thrusting even harder and I saw Anna place a hand on Alisha's throat, not to choke her but to feel my cock stretching her out. The glazed look on Anna's face was almost as good as the feeling of burying myself in this tight, wet, squirming hole.

With every thrust my cock dredged up more and more of the thick, slimy saliva from the deepest depths of Alisha's throat, making things slicker and slicker as Alisha's face became more and more of a mess, streaks of frothy slime running down her cheeks, up one nostril and then further to her eyes.

And still I didn't relent. She knew exactly how I wanted her to handle it. If she truly couldn't take it anymore she'd pinch my thigh, but she didn't. She just kept taking it, making whimpering noises all the while, and rolling her hips against Anna's lazy stroking, trying to coax an orgasm out of her body that wouldn't come.

I decided the elf had suffered enough and leaned forward to grab her breasts, squeezing them roughly and using them as handholds as I began to pound her face as if it were her cunt. Her whimpering turned into half-choked gurgling sounds as I thrust into her with no regard for her feelings and soon I felt sweet release hit me. I pumped my cum down Alisha's throat, straight into her stomach, and only when I felt the flow abate did I pull out far enough for some of my sticky seed to touch her tongue.

The instant it touched her taste buds she shrieked as if she were on fire and her juices drenched the bed, all but confirming my suspicions that she had just experienced all those orgasms she'd been denied until now all at once. Even once she'd stopped shrieking she still lay on the bed, breathing like a bellows as her body kept erupting into little shudders.

I was still wondering if that had been too much for her to take when she said, in a breathy tone of voice: “Oh goddess, that was unreal.”

“It really was," Anna muttered as she looked at the absolute mess we'd made out of Alisha.

“Jealous?" I asked as I looked up at the princess.

“Nope," Anna said instantly. “I like coming as much as the next girl but I don't think I could handle that” – she nodded at the quivering pile of flesh that was Alisha – “with my mind intact.”

“Yeah," I said, watching Alisha's spasms slowly growing weaker. “You need to be a special kind of deviant to handle this kind of thing and still want more.” Then I leaned down and placed a single, gentle kiss on Alisha's forehead.

“Well, you're the one who did that to her and you still want more," Anna said, looking down at my cock, which was already growing hard again. “So I guess you're just as much of a deviant.”

I smirked at her. “She would never have come this hard if you hadn't tormented her like this” – I indicated the toys still plugging both of Alisha's holes – “so I guess you're in good company. And you didn't honestly expect me to be done with both of you after cumming once, right?”

She bit her lip as she saw I was fully erect again. “I suppose I should take care of that while Alisha recovers, right?”

“Please do," I said as I pulled her closer, into a sensual, open-mouthed kiss that she melted into without hesitation.

Soon she scooted over and straddled me, grinding her crotch against mine, pressing our bodies together.

“I did make you wait quite a bit, didn't I?" I asked as I felt how wet she was for me.

“You did," she agreed, “and seeing you work Alisha over drove me crazy.”

“Then let's take care of you properly, shall we?" I said before I lifted her up just enough to line my cock up with her entrance. My cock was still covered in Alisha's slimy saliva and so when Anna lowered herself onto my length she slipped all the way down to the base in one go.

“Fuuuuck," she groaned and I latched on to her neck, licking and kissing and nibbling as she began to grind against me.

Anna felt amazing against me, her skin feverishly hot pressed against mine and each little tremble and fluttery breath showed me exactly how much she loved what we were doing. Her insides felt exquisite, soft and slick and tight, and they massaged me as if they were trying to wring my seed out.

She kept babbling just under her breath, impossible for me to make out even with my recently enhanced hearing, so I decided to make her feel even better, to tease out more of her voice. I grabbed her round, full ass with both hands and spread her cheeks, then reached down further to coat two fingers in the juices we were producing before I started to gently massage those juices into her cute little pucker.

Immediately she started to roll her hips against me a little harder, her breathing grew more ragged and her babbling got a little louder, just at the edge of comprehension.

Her asshole yielded to me quickly and easily, already nicely relaxed from Alisha's earlier ministrations, and soon I slipped my two fingers in to the first knuckle.

She groaned and slammed her hips against me and finally her babbling resolved itself into words I could understand. “I love you... I love you... I love you...”

Over and over again she chanted it, still so quiet it was as if she was scared to say it any louder for fear of breaking the spell. Instead I reached up to cup her cheek with my free hand and made her look at me. “I love you too, Anna," I told her and then mashed our lips together.

She quivered as if she'd just come and ground herself even harder against me, raising her hips up so far my cock was in danger of popping out. As we reveled in the feelings we'd just confessed for each other I kept working my fingers in and out of her ass, down to the second knuckle now.

Without even breaking the kiss she lifted herself up higher, my cock already missing the contact as it slid out of her pussy, but before I could reach out to fix her mistake she grabbed my cock, slick with her juices, and lined it up at her other hole.

I opened my eyes and looked at her, making sure she actually wanted it, and when I saw her gorgeous brown eyes staring back at me I pulled my fingers out of her just in time for her to slam herself down on my cock, impaling herself on me.

Her eyes rolled up in the back of her head and she moaned a low “Mmmrrnh” into my mouth as I split her apart.

Good gods but her ass felt incredible. Where her pussy had felt smooth as velvet and wrapped around me as if it was the place my cock belonged her ass clamped down on me as if it wanted to strangle me, but past that ring of fire her insides felt soft and scalding hot, slick from all the juices the two women had coated my dick in, and utterly mind-blowing. I had to press my eyes shut as I concentrated on not cumming immediately as Anna kept slamming herself down on me again and again, her tightness moving up and down as she did.

I busied myself stroking her sides and concentrating on the kiss as she rode me, clearly lost in a world of sensation the same as I was. That fact, the shivers and the moans and the little gasps that caused her to break our kiss every once in a while, those were driving me crazy. They showed me that she loved having my cock in her ass as much as I did.

“I'm gonna come," she told me as her breathing was growing more and more ragged.

“Me too," I told her, tensing up as I tried to hold on until she finished.

“Cum inside me," she begged. “Fill me up.”

I pounded up into her from below as hard as I could and rubbed her clit between my fingers until I felt her fly apart on top of me, her asshole clamping down on me as she trembled.

“I love you, I love you, IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou," she kept chanting in a daze as I gave up trying to hold back and filled her up, hot seed gushing into her naughty hole with each spurt as I trembled beneath her.

When I was done painting her insides I leaned forward until I had Anna on her back and then looked over at Alisha, who had recovered from her mind-shattering orgasm and was watching us, her chin resting on her hands and her legs kicking up in the air.

I gave her a much gentler smile than I had the entire evening so far and said: “Get me my bag of holding and then get ready to clean us both up once I pull out of her.”

“Yes, Master," she said dutifully and rushed over to my discarded clothing to grab my main bag of holding.

I gave her a gentle kiss and pinched her ass when she handed it to me, then rummaged around for the two charms I'd bought.

Anna was lying on her back, eyes closed and shivering in the aftershocks of her orgasm, and so it was the easiest thing in the world for me to reach around her neck and fasten the necklace. She opened her eyes when she felt the latch close and then watched me threading an identical copy of the charm I'd given her onto my own necklace, right next to the alexandrite charm I shared with Yume.

She blinked, then reached down to feel the one I'd given her. “And here I thought I didn't warrant a necklace," she said, her voice raspy.

“He had a really hard time finding one that fit you is all," Alisha told her.

“I love you Anna," I said, making sure to put as much conviction and sincerity into the words as I could. “I want you by my side, just as much as Alisha, Selene and Yume.”

I could see tears welling up in her eyes as she smiled up at me.

I stroked her cheek gently, then I said to Alisha: “Get ready.”

Alisha blinked in confusion but then I pulled my cock out of Anna's ass and Alisha immediately bent down to lick up everything that was threatening to leak out of Anna's slightly gaping hole.

She busied herself for a while and I leaned back and enjoyed the show, listening to the obscene lapping and sucking sounds she made, before she turned around and started to lick me clean.

“How is it?" I asked her teasingly. I knew there wasn't going to be any unpleasant flavors thanks to the powdered unicorn horn, but even so it was still a filthy, degenerate thing I was making her do.

“Delicious," Alisha moaned. She'd cleaned up all the juices already and now she was just gently working it back to full hardness.

“Good girl," I said. “That's it, keep it up. Once you've got it nice and hard again you'll get it next.”

She moaned and her ministrations intensified. She swirled her tongue around the tip, then sucked on it before letting go and showering it with kisses along its length.

“How does my Master want to fuck me?" she asked as she held my hard cock and looked up at her, her eyes all but glowing.

I smiled down at her. “On all fours. Ass up, face down. Then reach back and grab hold of your ankles.”

She instantly complied and put herself in the humiliating position, both of her holes on display and her face squished against the mattress, waiting to be mounted. It was only when I saw her like this and saw the toys lodged into both her holes that I remembered that we had never actually taken those out.

“Like this, Master?" she asked, her voice a little muffled.

“Good girl," I said. “You don't get to leave this position until I tell you to, understood?”

“Yes, Master," she said as I got closer to her.

Damn, but Anna had really done a number on her. The thing in Alisha's pussy was fairly easy to identify. It was a replica of a cock, though I couldn't tell what material it was made from. To me it looked like some sort of hardened slime but Anna told me later that it was a special material found in a dungeon in the east of the kingdom. The thing in Alisha's ass was harder to identify. All I could see from where I sat was a metal ring connected to a length of sturdy twine that came out of the elf's little pucker. I assumed that if I wanted to get it out I'd have to pull on the ring but for now I left it and pulled out the artificial cock, liberally covered in Alisha's juices. It was nice to see that the toy was smaller than me, both in length and girth, so suddenly getting something bigger would probably still take Alisha's breath away.

I gave the thing a single lick, reacquainting myself with my love's sweet flavor, before Anna crawled up next to me, took the thing out of my hand and started licking it clean.

“You like her flavor?" I asked as I watched her work the thing.

“I love it," she said.

I smiled and turned back to Alisha, then lined my cock up with her soaked and slightly gaping entrance.

“Oh, Alisha?" I asked.

“Yes, Master?" she asked.

“Here's my next command to you: When I cum inside you it'll feel as if I'd just filled you up on your moon-drunk day.”

She whimpered in response. On her moon-drunk days she wasn't just far more sensitive than normal, she also absolutely lost her mind whenever I came inside her. I always made sure to only cum in her ass on those days because otherwise she would have gotten pregnant a long time ago, but even that was enough to make her howl in pleasure every time. And according to what some of her friends had told her the feeling still paled in comparison to the sensation of actually having her pussy filled on a moon-drunk day.

And tonight I was going to use the collar to force those feelings out of her, risk-free.

While she was still processing that I shoved myself inside her in one hard, savage thrust. Unlike Anna, Alisha didn't need a tender and sensual lover who would gently coax her toward an orgasm, she just wanted to get fucked hard and degraded. Any little bit of tenderness I showed her while I used her for my own enjoyment hit her about ten times harder thanks to the juxtaposition.

And so I gave it to her exactly as she needed it, spearing into her again and again, the smacking sounds of our flesh colliding loud enough to drown out her pants and moans. Soon enough I started spanking her ass in between thrusts and she whimpered and gasped each time until her cheeks were a deep, rosy red all over.

“May I come, Master?" she squeaked out.

“No," I said. “You get to come when I do.”

“Mmmmhh," she whimpered in response.

I was nowhere near done with the little elf and so I grabbed hold of the ring dangling out of her cute little pucker, then pulled. A polished wooden ball popped out of her ass, connected to yet another length of twine. I wondered idly how many of these balls there were, how full Anna had stuffed the little elf's ass, and so I kept pulling them out. Each time one popped free Alisha responded with a little whimper and by the time all eight balls had come out her hole was gaping slightly, twitching as if to invite me in.

I decided to accept the invitation and so I spat down, hitting her cute hole perfectly, before I pulled out of her pussy and shoved my cock up her ass. I wasn't savaging this hole quite as hard as the other but I was still going hard, working her over as hard as I dared while she lay there and took it, her face forced into the mattress with each thrust.

She couldn't roll her hips, couldn't push back against me, couldn't claw at the bedsheets, could do absolutely nothing but lay there and take my cock, nothing but a passive, whimpering receptacle for my desires. And she absolutely loved it.

Drool was leaking out the corner of her mouth onto the bed, her eyes were full of tears, her entire body was flushed and she was mewling like a cat in heat as I pounded into her. I loved gentle lovemaking as much as this savage fucking and enjoyed either so long as my partner did but the way Alisha reacted to this kind of treatment, that drove me crazy and so long as I could get these reactions out of my love I would savage her again and again, as hard and as often as she wished.

When I felt close to losing control I pulled my cock out. I debated just shoving it into Alisha's pussy – her ass had just been magically cleaned, after all – but before I could bring myself to ignore all my usual worries about hygiene Anna latched onto my cock and started noisily and sloppily licking it clean.

When she was done she gave the tip one final kiss and said: “Drive her crazy," before pulling away again.

I smiled at the princess and then shoved my cock back into Alisha's soaking wet pussy.

“Are you ready for it?" I asked as I once again started plowing her sopping cunt.

“Yesssss, Master," she whimpered, her eyes closed in denied ecstasy.

“You want me to breed you?" I asked as I gave her ass a slap to get her attention.

“Yessssssss," she groaned out.

“Say it," I commanded.

“Breed me, Master!" she hollered. “Fuck a baby into your elf whore! Fill me up! Goddess, I need your cum in me so—FUCK!”

I couldn't take it anymore. I gave up trying to hold back against the exquisite feeling of her pussy and filled her up. Just like last time the moment my seed touched her insides she came undone. She shrieked and yelled and begged and pleaded for the flood of sensations roiling around inside her to pass, to leave her with her mind intact. Her reactions on moon-drunk days were always spectacular but this was beyond my wildest imagination. Her pussy clamped down on me like a vise and practically wrung the seed out of me, and only when I had absolutely nothing more to give I pulled out and whispered: “You may collapse now.”

Only then did the collar allow her to get out of the uncomfortable position and she collapsed onto the bed in a quivering puddle once again. This time, though, I didn't let her just bask in the afterglow.

Instead I flipped her around onto her back and made her look at me through half-lidded eyes.

“Look at yourself," I said and then showed her a tiny little mirror. She was an absolute mess, drenched in multiple different fluids, her hair plastered to her sweaty skin and a delirious expression on her face.

I could tell from her expression that she wanted to look away but the collar wouldn't let her disobey me.

“You're such an insatiable, shameless little harlot," I told her. “Even now I could probably push you down and work another couple orgasms out of your needy little cunt, couldn't I?”

She whimpered in response and I grabbed her by the hair and pulled her face down to my feet.

“Lick," I commanded and after a flash of red from the collar she did, licking and kissing and worshiping my feet. There were tears in her eyes and this time they weren't just happy tears.

She loved being humiliated but I knew she had limits. For a moment I was worried I was starting to reach those limits and Anna seemed to agree as she tried to get my attention with a quiet: “Hey.”

But I ignored her. “So, what do you say, slut? If you admit to being an insatiable harlot I'll make you come again. So, what will it be?”

“I'm not an insatiable harlot," Alisha said quietly.

“You're not?" I asked.

“No, you're just forcing me to serve you.”

I snorted. “Apparently all those orgasms made you stupid.”

“Huh?" she asked.

I pushed her back and slipped two fingers inside her pussy, stirring the cum I'd put inside her and working the bumpy spot inside her. Sure enough, she immediately began rolling her hips in response, her breathing that had only just evened out growing ragged again. Then I said: “Didn't you notice? I never forbade you from taking that collar off if you couldn't take it anymore.”

She blinked.

“The only one who forced you to humiliate yourself for my amusement was you.”

I took my hand away from her pussy and replaced it with my knee, grinding it against her pussy. With both hands free I reached out and unlatched the collar from her slender throat, turning off its magic. She was entirely free again.

But I didn't change my commanding tone as I said: “Now admit that you're an insatiable harlot and come for me again.”

I reached down and roughly worked her clit, rolling it between two fingers.

The tears were running freely down her face. Humiliation, embarrassment and over-stimulation all combining into something that danced the knife's edge between pain and pleasure and finally she said, her voice quavering: “I'm an insatiable harlot and I love it when you humiliate me, Felix.”

And then she came one last time that night. She didn't groan, didn't shriek and didn't thrash around on the bed. Instead she shuddered long and hard and let out a single, loud sob.

**

Much later, when we all felt fucked out and coherent again, I was leaning against the pillow, gently rocking an exhausted Alisha while Anna leaned against me. The experience had been a little more intense than usual. Anna and I had finally put our feelings for each other into words and I had given Alisha exactly what she'd asked for. I would never have been that cruel to her if it hadn't been exactly the kind of thing she'd wanted, but afterwards I still felt the need to hold her and pet her and whisper sweet things to her.

“I love you," told her quietly.

I knew she knew but after this kind of experience I wanted to make sure. She smiled and stretched to kiss my cheek before she muttered: “I love you, too.”

“Was it too much?" I asked quietly.

She blushed a little but then admitted, so quietly I only heard it thanks to my newly enhanced senses: “It was perfect.”

And then she fell asleep in my arms.
