I writhe again as another wave crashes into me, this time ten times stronger, so much so that an icy wind sweeps through the small enclosure, freezing everything around us.

I cannot move or control my abilities as I watch ice covering every single thing around.

My body is hot, but all around me it’s icy cold.

Seconds after, or perhaps an eternity, I finally manage to regulate my breathing.

So that was what he meant by pleasure. And here I thought kissing was the best thing ever, followed closely by chocolate donuts. But this? No donut can trump this.

Perhaps instead of daily donuts, I should ask him to give me one of these orgasms. Yes, that sounds perfect.

I sigh happily as I stretch my arms, feeling more invigorated than ever.

My energy points are all wide open, allowing all my spiritual energy to flow with more ease than ever before. Raw power travels through my veins, and for the first time in my life, I feel rather…invincible.

“That was…” I can’t even express into words what that did to me, both as a female and as a goddess. It’s almost as if I’ve been asleep all my life until now, and that pleasure he gave me opened a secret door inside of me, letting out some type of mystical power.

“I think you passed your practical exam with floating colors, Mine. I only have one question. When can we do this again?”

Please say now, I think to myself.

I don’t even know if it’s possible to experience that again so soon, but I’m willing to try. The build-up to the explosion itself was quite yummy too, and since he also finds me yummy, well, isn’t that a win-win?

I frown. Why is he not answering me?

I gaze down at him.

Damn it! I can only see a thick sheet of ice.

“Mine?” I cry out, pulling him from between my legs.

Oh no! He’s frozen, too.

THIRTY-NINE

I feelthe surge of energy coursing through my fingertips as I press them to his frozen face. The chill of his skin slowly gives way to a warm, rosy hue as life returns to his features.

He blinks and drops of moisture fall from his lashes, remnants of the ice that had once encased him.

“Are you all right?” I ask, my voice shaking with anxiety.

He tries to speak, but the chattering of his teeth muffles his words.

“Oh, what have I done,” I whisper, my heart racing in panic.

Forcing myself into action, I help him to his feet and guide him to the tub at the end of the ice chamber. A quick glance behind me reveals that even the fire has been extinguished, so I hurry to rekindle it while carefully lowering him into the tub.

Summoning every ounce of my strength, I focus on the ice around him, willing it to melt. The temperature of the water rises with a powerful surge of energy.

“My powers haven’t been this uncontrollable since I was just learning to use them,” I admit through gritted teeth as sweat beads form on my forehead.

Slowly, his body begins to regain its healthy glow as he lowers himself into the tub. The hot water envelops him, warming every inch of his once-frozen skin.

“Don’t blame yourself, Minnie,” he says with a reassuring smile. “It was rather…hot.”

“No, it was freezing. I froze you!” I exclaim, more guilt washing over me.

He resurfaces from under the water, droplets cascading off his slick hair. Leaning forward with a mischievous glint in his eyes, he rests his arms on the edge of the tub. Despite nearly succumbing to hypothermia just moments ago, he appears lively and playful.
