Juicy Secrets Forbidden Tales of Lesbian Love

By Nuit du Loup

Isana stood before the girls, who were awaiting her instructions. It was time for Ayaka, Sora and Karin to learn more about magic, and they were eager to get started.

“Since we are a family now,” Isana began, “and a family of witches at that, I need to lay out some important rules while we’re on this topic. If I tell you something is dangerous, I’m serious about it. Also, until you know the area better, I don’t want you guys wandering around out of sight of the house when you’re on your own. Lastly, since there are now four of us living together, we all need to do our share of chores and help each other out. Okay?”

“Of course,” Sora replied immediately, grateful for the trust and responsibility. Ayaka and Karin were right behind her with their own agreements. She didn’t mind a bit of cleaning; it was nothing new to her and the load would be shared.

“Good, because I care a lot about you girls,” Isana said. “Now, back to the magic stuff we were talking about before. Sora tells me that it’s going to rain later on, but I want to start our lessons outside as often as we can. Before you ask, Karin – and yes, I know what you want to ask – it’s because it’ll be easier to clean up any messes we make outdoors than inside. I know it’s hot out today, but it’s not like your sisters haven’t seen you sweat already.”

“That’s true,” Karin chuckled, smirking.

“And we’ll be bringing plenty of water with us,” Isana said.

“How does Sora know it will rain?” Ayaka asked, looking at her sister curiously.

“I can feel it,” Sora explained, not knowing how to describe the sensations she got – even at that moment,  if she concentrated a little. “It kind of started when I focused on my magic, and it never went away.”

“Now that your mind knows the ability is there, it’s using it,” Isana explained. “Now, Ayaka, there’s a big gallon-sized water bottle in the cabinet below and to the right of the sink. Can you please fill it all the way up for us while I grab the other things we’ll need?”

“Sure!” Ayaka agreed without thought, already on the move.

“What about us?” Karin asked.

Isana pointed right away at another cupboard, “We’ll also need a plastic cup for each of you. Not a big one, though.”

Karin moved quickly while Ayaka was beginning to fill the big water container. It was a dark red, with a flip-up spout on the lid. Sora wanted to help too, and Isana clearly read that in her expression, but she just smiled and made a follow-me gesture with one hand before ducking into the garage. Sora followed.

“Catch!” Isana called, and Sora made an embarrassing squeaky sound when she saw the big blanket flying towards her. Since it was almost as big as Isana even while folded up, it just about plowed her over, but she managed to catch her balance and remain upright. It left Sora with a faceful of fuzzy blanket that she had to wrestle with to look around. Isana was already moving, raising the garage door with her usual wave, then gesturing at her. “We’re going to use the clearing again. It’s shaded and conveniently close for when it rains.”

“Hey, Sora.” The girl turned to see Ayaka laughing as she entered with the water jug. A step behind, Karin was laughing even harder. “It looks like that blanket is trying to eat you!”

“Guess I should have asked you to carry it,” Isana sighed, then turned to Sora. “Trade loads with Ayaka.”

They did so, then Isana told the girls, “Head over to the clearing we used yesterday. I need to grab a few more things, then I’ll be right there with you.”

The water jug wasn’t too heavy, so Sora also helped Ayaka carry the blanket as they set off. The forest was constantly rustling in the wind and the sounds of animals were heard from every direction. It was such a nice atmosphere that none of them felt the need to speak and run the risk of breaking it. The heat was quickly felt, though, and Sora could already feel sweat trickling down her back. Ayaka clearly loved it all, and Karin almost seemed to be bouncing with excess energy.

When they arrived at the clearing Sora and Karin both helped with spreading the blanket out. They all sat down and she unconsciously moved close to her sisters. If it wasn’t so hot, she would have been tempted to see if Ayaka or Karin would let her snuggle with them. As it was, she was even more tempted to take her clothes off!

“So hot!” Karin exclaimed with a laugh, flopping onto her back with arms spread wide. The white of her horn gleamed with reflected sunlight.

“It’s only going to get worse before it rains,” Ayaka teased. Sora thought Ayaka looked quite elegant, sitting casually with both legs tucked under her. “I’m going to end up getting a tan.”

They didn’t have to wait long for Isana. True to her word, only a few minutes passed before she trudged into the glade, toting several pillows under her arms as well as her toolbox. Sora jumped up to help relieve Isana of the pillows. Isana rewarded her with a smile and a soft “Thank you,” then set her toolbox down and wiped her brow with obvious relief.

“I could have carried some of these,” Sora said, separating the pillows, one for each of them.

“Bah!” Isana protested, grinning. “I was doing just fine. Besides, this way I can claim the biggest one for myself!”

“Heh, no surprise there,” Ayaka chucked, grabbing a square green pillow. She moved it under her butt and spent a moment settling in. Karin followed suit, and Sora quickly claimed the third pillow, an ugly red thing. It was actually quite comfortable to sit on, though. They left a gap between Sora and Ayaka for Isana to sit.

“The teacher always gets the best seat,” Isana said, chuckling as she moved around the clearing. The girls watched with open curiosity as she bent over again and again to pick things up. Sora had no idea what they were, and it was clear that Ayaka and Karin didn’t know either.

When Isana returned she dumped what looked like a bunch of forest debris. There were four rocks of differing types and sizes, four acorns, and four dry leaves that were brown and crumbly.

“What are these for?” Karin asked, picking up a big, dark-grey rock with a white chunk on one end.

“Training!” Isana laughed, taking her pillow. She took the four plastic cups and gave one to each girl,, then did the same with the jumble of forest stuff she’d collected. Filling her cup from the jug, she passed it to Ayaka. The girls followed suit and took turns filling theirs as well. When all was apparently set, Isana gave a pleased nod

“Okay!” Isana began. “Before we get into the nitty-gritty of forming actual spells and such, you need to learn the basics of manipulating objects with magic. Like I said earlier, it’s mostly about willpower and energy. Also, even though it is magic we will be doing, it still follows some of the laws of physics most of the time. Please line your things up in this order: water, leaf, acorn, then rock.”

Sora did. Her rock was small and speckled – very pretty, actually. She’d just got everything in order when there was a squeal of surprise from Ayaka. She looked up at the same time as the others and saw Ayaka holding the leaf between her fingers. Her eyes were wide, and the surprise was obvious to them all. The leaf was slowly turning green.

Ayaka cast a worried look at Isana. “What do I do?”

“Well,” a chagrined Isana gave her cheek a scratch, then shrugged. “It’ll stop if you set it down, but when it’s your turn for what I had that lead in mind for; we’ll have to use a new one.”

“Why did it do that?” Ayaka said, setting the leaf down. It immediately stopped changing.

“Your magic is ia part of the nature around you. Like that flower you helped to bloom yesterday, whatever magic you leak out naturally helps the living things around you. That leaf must have still been just alive enough for you to help it.”

“Oh,” Ayaka seemed both pleased and bemused by the idea.

“Okay then,” Isana said again. “The basics. We’re going to start with the most straightforward of magics, elemental magic. That is why you have a representation of each in front of you. There is a possibility you will have the ability to affect all of them, or maybe just one or two. It depends on your particular magical ability. Sora, as I said before, I suspect you already have a close affinity for air and water. We’ll check that now.”

Karin gave her rock a poke. “How do we do that?”

“For this, it’s the simplest task,” Isana smiled. “Just take magic and push it into the object you want to manipulate or change. The reason the items are ordered the way they are is based on how much energy it will take to affect each one. A rock for example is quite solid and really likes being the shape it is. To change that shape takes a lot more work than a liquid, which is quite comfortable with being shaped. Basically, the greater change you try to make, the more energy is required. The more energy you use, the more worn out you’ll be.”

“It’s like… inertia, right?” Ayaka asked brightly.

“Inertia?” Sora tasted the word. She sort of knew what it meant, but Ayaka was two grades ahead of her and had clearly covered it in class.

“That’s essentially right, yes,” Isana nodded. “The world likes being the way it is. So the more you try to work natural reactions and effects into what you do, the easier the magic will be. This is why I can’t go around turning tons of metal and rocks into gold to make me rich. The energy needed to alter all those atoms is much too great. At best, I might be able to do a few milligrams at a time before I’m exhausted.”

Karin tapped her plastic cup of water this time, creating a short pattern of ripples on the surface. “So what do you want us to do?”

“First, I just want you to try and put magic into the water,” Isana replied. “Focus on your center of magic, grab some with your will and as gently as possible, push it into the water.”

Remembering the feel of her magic from when she was in the bath, Sora focused on that place deep inside where she could draw on her magic if she wanted to, then tried to pull it out. Right away it responded, and she quickly concentrated on forming the blueish-white light into her right hand, and it obeyed without a struggle. With barely a thought of moving it into the water, the light leapt from her hand and joined with the liquid in the cup.

“Ahh!” Looking up at Karin’s shout, she saw her sister’s shirt was soaked with water.

“What happened?” Sora asked.

“I wasn’t gentle,” Karin chuckled, picking at her shirt. “At least it feels nice in this heat.”

“Just give it another try,” Isana instructed, pouring Karin more water. She looked around at the rest of them. Ayaka was frowning hard at her cup, but Sora could see the sunny glow of magic inside it. Karin tried again, and light seemed to race out of her finger and into the cup. The water jumped, but this time it stayed inside. Isana chuckled at Karin’s frustrated look. “That was very good, all of you. Next, just use your magic in the water and your mind to make it move. Like this.”

Isana pointed at her cup, and in the same instant her magic touched the water, it lifted out of the cup in the exact shape of the container. Unlike them, she hadn’t done it in steps, but one seamless effort of will. Isana grinned at them, tail thumping on the blanket behind her. “Your turn, ladies!”

Sora concentrated first on making a small portion of the water rise up. She focused on a small volume and, like it was an extension of her mind, an amorphous looking glob of water popped up in front of her face. When she thought it would look better as a ball, it did so and became a perfect sphere. She stared at it in wonder and admired the way the sunlight made her water ball sparkle. “So pretty,” she said quietly.

“Nice, Sora!” Isana exclaimed, distracting her. As soon as Sora’s attention wavered, the water started to fall. In a slight panic, she demanded that it stop and stay put. To her shock, it did just that. Isana smiled.

“This is so cool!” Karin crowed next to her. She was pointing a finger down at her cup, using her magic to make the water swirl in a whirlpool shape.

“But it’s so hard to make it move!” Ayaka complained, looking distressed and frowning at her cup. She was flushed with effort and her water was only moving in a gentle swirl.

“Ayaka, kitten,” Isana sighed. She leaned over and placed a soothing hand on Ayaka’s knee. “Remember what I said – some people don’t have a natural affinity to affect certain things. You have a beautiful gift, but it comes from the power of the living things around you. That might mean it’ll take more effort for you to manipulate inanimate things. Okay?”

“Okay,” Ayaka sighed, and then smiled apologetically at them. “Sorry I interrupted.”

“No prob!” Karin laughed, grinning at Ayaka.

Isana smiled and nodded. “Eventually you won’t even think about the first step of sending your magic out. That becomes an almost autonomic instinct very quickly, which is why almost all magic users can deploy telekinesis. Ayaka, just focus on lifting the water out. Don’t worry about anything else.”

Ayaka frowned again and after a second the water lifted out of the cup, but as a random glob that kept changing shape.

“That was easier, right?” Ayaka nodded, obviously thinking about it still, but Isana went on. “That‘s because all you did was focus on moving it, not changing the water itself. It’s basically the same thing as lifting it with your hand, if that was actually possible with water. Let’s move onto the next thing, shall we?”

Isana opened her toolbox, pulled out a small white candle and a metal holder for it that was already encrusted with wax. She set the candle in front of her and with barely a glimmer of magic for them to see, lit its wick. Isana looked up at the girls. “Next course is fire! Karin!”

“Yeah?” Karin responded\.

“Since I found out about your fire-breathing ability, I’ve been curious about it. How much can you make in one go? Can you show me?”

“Sure, I guess,” Karin smiled and clambered to her feet. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tilted her head back so that she was looking up through the gap in the trees. She exhaled sharply and a blast of fire at least ten meters long exploded up into the air. A small shockwave from the sudden eruption of heat shook the trees around them. But just as quickly as it had come forth, the fire was gone and Karin was standing there taking quick breaths.

“So cool,” Sora said in awe.

Karin turned that grin on her. “Thanks!” then came over and, without any warning, kissed Sora.

It felt lovely. Karin’s lips were hot, but not painfully so, and the kiss was over far too quickly. Karin sat back down, looking quite pleased with herself.

“Very impressive,” Isana remarked with an odd smile, “both of you.”

“Both of us?” Sora asked in confusion.

“Look” Ayaka laughed and pointed. Sora followed the finger and saw that her water ball was still right where she’d left it. “It didn’t even move when Karin kissed you.”

“Is that good?”

“It sure is!” Isana chuckled. “It shows excellent control. But we were moving on to fire, remember. This is what your leaf is for. It will burn quickly without igniting the whole damn forest. Ayaka, you need to grab a new one.”

Ayaka did so quickly, and Isana held up her own leaf. “With fire, we need to be as safe as we can, but it’s actually one of the simpler things to do. This is because fire, meaning heat, is essentially what, Ayaka?”

“Uh…” Ayaka thought about it for a moment. “Energy?”

“Right!” Isana agreed. “Heat is a direct measurement of how much kinetic energy something has, be it a leaf, a pan of water, or a brick. For fire, you have to give your target enough energy for it to combust. You can produce the energy yourself, which is the hard way, or borrow energy from another source. That’s much easier. In this case, we’ll use this candle. Now watch.”

They each leaned forward a little, despite being so close already, as Isana did her thing. Isana connected the burning candle to the leaf held in her fingers with magic. There was a tiny pulse of light going down into that connection, which vanished as it went, and the leaf burst merrily into flame. Isana quickly dropped it into her cup, where it sizzled out. She smiled her usual smile. “Now you try it.”

Again, Sora took her magic and used it to connect the candle to her leaf, just like Isana had instructed. She could also see and feel the connection made by her sisters. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Karin’s leaf almost explode into flame. At the same time, Sora and Ayaka tried to pull a bit of the candle’s energy, but not too much. Sora moved a tiny capsule of energy to the tip of the lead, and after a moment of worry when the leaf only turned black and smoked, it finally did begin to burn.

“I did it!” Sora cheered. so happy that she forgot about her fingers and almost dropped the leaf on the blanket.

“Me too,” Ayaka said happily, swirling her burnt leaf in her cup.

“Yes, you all did an excellent job,” Isana nodded and smiled at Karin. “Clearly Karin is attuned with fire, though. Be careful with that ability, please.”

“I will,” Karin promised.

“Okay,” Isana snuffed the candle with an idle flick of a finger. “Now that the exciting one is done with, we’ll move onto the acorn. The ability to affect living things can be a useful skill, but one you should be careful with. So far, people generally like witches and other magic users, so we don’t want to go around creating monsters and such. Think about that before you act. But for now, we’ll just see if you can get this tiny little seed to grow. Just make sure you do this one on the dirt, not in your hand.”

Like the others, Sora picked up her acorn and turned to set it down on a patch of dark forest soil. She had no idea what to do this time, so she just pushed her magic into the acorn and tried to think about it growing. She wasn’t sure anything was happening, even though she could feel her magic being used, but a sharp cry drew her attention to Ayaka.

Ayaka was beaming. Between her warmly glowing hands, a small oak sapling was already growing strong. It had several leaves and was almost a foot tall and getting bigger. Without even seeming to know she was doing it, Ayaka snatched her water cup and upended it at the roots to her tree.

After a couple minutes of them all watching her tree grow, Isana told her, “Okay, now stop.”

“Why?” Ayaka asked, still overjoyed at her accomplishment.

“Well, because you’ll exhaust yourself… and we still have other lessons,” Isana smiled back. “Also, if you’re not careful you might upset the balance in this area by drawing too many nutrients from the soil too quickly. I’m not too knowledgeable in this area, so it’s best to be especially cautious.”

Before Ayaka could reply, there was a slight popping sound from next to Sora, and she looked down at her own acorn. She’d still been working at it with half her attention and it had finally paid off. The shell of the nut had split and a root tendril was slowly burrowing into the soil. On top, a thin new trunk with only two leaves began to creep upwards at a glacial pace.

“Nice, that’s two of you,” Isana commented happily. “Karin?”

“No go for me,” Karin sighed, turned back around. Her acorn was exactly as it had been before. “Oh, well.”

Isana held up her rock. It was a yellowish-white in color, “Next we have our rock. Rocks, metals, and crystals take a lot more energy to change, simply because they’re solid. They like being exactly how they are, and crystals, since they have a much more defined form, are the worst. All I really want this time is to see how much you can do to make it different in some way.”

Picking up her own rock, Sora held out in front and considered it as she pushed magic into it. She could feel herself getting a bit tired, and her shirt was sticking to her body from the sweat, but it wasn’t too bad yet. So she focused on something simple. She thought hard on the rock dividing itself in half, concentrating her magic into it. She felt a response of some kind, but not enough, so she added more magic. After two more such additions of energy, there was a sharp sound that drew everyone’s attention to her hand. The stone had split smoothly in half.

“Neato!” Karin enthused and thrust her hand out. “Look at mine!” Karin’s dark rock seemed unchanged at first, but then Sora noticed the lines. Engraved deeply into the rock’s surface was a big letter K.

“That’s kind of cute, actually,” Ayaka complimented Karin, holding up her own rock. The little grey stone had become a perfect cube. “This was all I could think of.”

“All good efforts,” Isana said with a nod. “Keep them; they’ll be a nice memory later on of where you started from. We still have one more lesson though, then we’ll knock off. I’m getting hungry.”

“It’s probably past noon already,” Ayaka said, shading her hand as she peered up at the sky. “It would be nice to get out of this heat for a bit too.”

“Yeah, Sora’s sweating so much we can see her nipples!” Karin exclaimed.

Looking down, Sora saw that Karin was right. Her little buds were clearly visible through her shirt, which was plastered to her chest. She shrugged. After all, there was nothing she could do about it. The heat was too intense to worry about being embarrassed. “What’s next?” she asked instead, flicking her ears in interest. This magic stuff was fun, and she wanted to do more of it.

“Well, the last might actually help with the heat, actually,” Isana replied.

Sora suspected that Isana liked seeing them sweaty. Ayaka sure seemed to as well, since she kept looking right at Sora’s chest. That sent a shiver between her legs, because it made her think of Ayaka sucking on her nipples again. She tried to focus back on Isana again, who was saying, “The last thing is of course, air, or other gaseous things.”

“That explains why we don’t have another, um, prop, huh?” Karin said, glancing around her.

“Yep,” Isana agreed. “Air isn’t hard to move around or do stuff with. Let me show you a really simple spell that uses air.” Raising a hand, she pointed at a spot in front and slightly above her. They watched her form a ring shaped thing out of magic that had interesting looking patterns and shapes inside it. The opening of the ring pointed down at Ayaka and her hair billowed out as if she was standing in a stiff breeze and her mouth opened in surprise.

“Oh, that feels nice!” Ayaka sighed happily after a moment. Isana turned it to point at Karin, then Sora.

“It’s a magical fan!” Karin squealed during her turn.

“Yep,” Isana nodded, pleased. “Working in this heat, it’s a trick I learned really quickly. Summer is a great motivator for teaching magic, as is winter.”

“Can we do it too?” Sora asked, enjoying the breeze on her face.

“Eventually, yeah,” Isana affirmed. “But for now, we’ll start smaller. Just see what you can do.”

Like with the water, Sora found working with air to be almost natural. She used her magic to send small pulses of cooler air at Karin, and her sister gave a smile of thanks. Even Ayaka found it easy, but she reddened a little when they saw her magic go downwards and her skirt began to billow irregularly. Sora didn’t blame her at all for trying that. Her own panties felt like they were soaked through even more than her shirt. A cool breeze down there would feel great.

After a few moments of this, Isana clapped her hands to signal an end. “All right, my young ladies… your teacher is hungry, so we’ll wait until after lunch before doing anything else. I also want all three of you to drink plenty of water, so no one gets dehydrated or has a heat stroke. Everyone grab some gear, then we’ll go back to the house for lunch.”

Sora ended up carrying two of the pillows as well as the water jug. While they didn’t really hurry back to the house, neither did they linger. She was just as hungry as the others, and hoped lunch would be just as tasty as breakfast.

They stashed everything in the garage, already thankful for the shade. Isana told them the house was cooler in the summer because she used a spell on it that worked like a refrigerator, except most of the waste heat went to the water heater.

Just before they could enter the kitchen, the distant honk of a car horn and the noise of an approaching vehicle could be heard.

“Ah, I was wondering when they would be coming again,” Isana murmured, wearing a cryptic smile..

“Who?” Karin was first to ask.

“You’ll see in a minute,” Isana replied.

After a few minutes passed, a large pick-up truck rumbled up to the house with an open-bed trailer hitched to the back. It stopped in a cloud of dust, and three people immediately got out. There were two young men and a teenage girl, all wearing worn work clothes and hats.

“Yo! Isana!” called one of the men. He was an older teen or maybe in his twenties. with long, messy dark hair and a goatee. “And a bunch of ladies, too!”

At the sight of sudden strangers coming at them, an instinctual panic seized at Sora’s heart. Without even thinking about it, she slid behind Ayaka, who gave her a frown of concern, and clutched tightly against her sister’s sweaty back. The smell of Ayaka’s hair and the feel of it on her face were calming, at least. One of Ayaka’s hands found hers, and Sora took it gratefully, letting Ayaka stroke her in a soothing manner.

“Jee-zus, Calvin!” the girl swore with a tired tone, Sora peeked around Ayaka a little and saw her glaring at the bearded young man. “You’re scaring the poor kid. Ease off, will you?”

“Yeah, you gotta excuse my idiot brother,” the younger boy said with a jerk of his thumb at Calvin. He looked a lot like the older guy, but clean shaven and less wild looking. “He acts like an ass, but he’s safe enough.”

Isana gave Sora a concerned look, but gestured at the group. “Girls, meet Calvin, his brother Todd, and Todd’s girlfriend Missy. Her real name’s Malissa, but she gets all cranky when we call her that.”

“Cause I don’t want to be named the same thing as my grandmother, not while she’s still alive!” the girl exclaimed. She was wearing a loose tank top and grungy jeans.

“Yeah, well,” Isana shrugged. “Girls, these are the folks I mentioned who come out and pick my field for me. We split the profit from the produce between us. Usually as a courtesy, they stop by and have a chat with me before they work. They’re nice people.”

“Yeah, I’m just like a puppy,” Calvin laughed, smiling wide. Sora still didn’t like him very much. At least she understood the reason they were there.

“So, who are the kids, Isana?” Missy asked, clearly curious. She was giving Ayaka a look Sora knew from some of the older orphanage girls. She was assessing possible competition. It wasn’t a mean look, though. She was just checking Ayaka out, and it was clear she approved of what she saw.

“These girls are my wards now,” Isana explained, giving them a proud smile that made Sora feel tons better. “They’re also my apprentices and I care a great deal about their well-being, so be nice and look out for them. And Calvin—”

“Hey!” the boy complained with a wounded tone, his hands up in the universal unarmed pose. “I have no interest in kids, Isana. We’re just surprised, that’s all. You never said you were adopting anyone.”

“It was a pleasant surprise for me too,” Isana laughed. “Now move on, you three. We were just about to eat lunch and we’re already tired from magic lessons, so we can do the lengthy introduction stuff some other time.”

“Sure, Isana,” Todd nodded, twirling a ring of keys on his finger. “Come on, guys. We need to get to work.”

“Right, talk to you later, Isana!” Missy called out, quickly making her way back to the truck and climbing inside “I’ll see you girls around, I’m sure!”

Calvin just gave a confident, yet joking salute and hopped effortlessly into the truck bed. He pounded twice on the roof of the cab and Todd took off, headed towards the produce fields.

“Wow, you have weird friends,” Karin commented once they were out of hearing range. “You okay, Sora?”

“Yeah, I’m fine,” she said, feeling embarrassed at her reaction, now it was over. She was still clutching Ayaka’s hand, but a deep breath calmed her down. She’d never liked meeting people, and the older they were, the worse her reaction usually was. She let Ayaka’s hand go, but as soon as she did the older girl spun around and embraced her tightly.

With her face pressed between Ayaka’s soft breasts, she smiled and placed a soft kiss of thanks on the tender skin. Ayaka cooed in response.

A gentle caress of Sora’s right ear drew her face out of Ayaka’s chest to look at Isana, who had one hand on Ayaka’s shoulder while the other still toyed with her ear, which felt really nice. “Sorry about that, Sora,” Isana said. “I really should have warned you about them. They’ve been working for me for years, and I’ve long gotten used to their roughness. They’re actually pretty nice and fun to be around.”

“I know that’s probably true,” Sora answered. “But I told you the shy me was still here. I can’t help that.”

“It’s okay,” Isana said. “Ayaka, you should let your sister go now, so we can eat lunch.”

“I don’t want to!” Ayaka declared. Sora felt a hand caressing her butt. “I have Sora right where I want her.”

“Careful, Sora,” Karin laughed. “Ayaka only let me sleep last night when I passed out. But it’s not a bad price to pay to share a bed with her.”

“But I am hungry,” Sora said, her face only inches away from Ayaka’s, “and I bet you are too.”

“Oh, I guess,” Ayaka moaned theatrically, only letting go after giving Sora a quick peck on the lips. Then she frowned down at herself and the rest of them. “Before they showed up, I was going to ask if we could eat naked, but I guess we can’t now.”

“I swear, this is turning into a house full of sex-mad nudists… but that idea is tempting,” Isana sighed. “But you’d just end up getting sweaty again, because we still have a whole afternoon of training ahead of us.”

“Then let’s eat, please!” Karin insisted, heading towards the kitchen door.

They all followed, and after a short, playful debate it was decided that sandwiches and egg salad made by Ayaka would be suitable for lunch.

Everyone joined in on the prep-work. Sora teamed up with Ayaka for most of it, and they stole a few kisses and intimate touches while preparing the egg salad. Sora was sure that Karin and Isana noticed, but didn’t mention it.

As Isana instructed, they all drank a generous measure of water with their meal. By the end they were all refreshed, feeling good and ready to learn more about their magic.

On to Chapter Thirteen!
