He slowly lifted his shadowed torso. “Never apologize for making your partner feel wanted. I felt it in my bones.”
She blushed and ducked her head.
“And you? How was your first time?”
She swallowed. “It was an excellent first. Thank you.”
He kissed her. “Would you care to try it again?”
“Are you going to use an opener spell again?”
He chuckled. “You figured that out?”
“Obviously.”
“In that case, it will not be needed unless you wish to open other avenues to pleasure.”
Val paused and thought about it. “I wouldn’t mind, but I have taken up enough of your time.”
“There is nowhere I would rather be tonight.”
Val chuckled. “I am always willing to expand my horizons.”
He laughed. “Funny. That is exactly what happens next.”
He flipped her to her belly and began to warm her body again. It was a very pleasurable hour.
“That is... different.” She lay against him after they had both tidied up in the discreetly hidden bathroom. It was strange to find a toilet behind a waterfall, but there it was. The shower had been behind a tree.
“There are a thousand flavours of pleasure. The point is to be open to any that you can enjoy without guilt or recrimination.”
“Ah. Well, thanks for the lack of guilt or recrimination.” She chuckled and rested her head on his shoulder.
“It was my pleasure. Literally. You were a joy to have as a partner.”
“Thank you. It wasn’t as awkward as I had imagined.”
“Good.” He kissed her forehead.
She smiled and sighed. “I guess it’s time to go. I have to get some sleep in before work tomorrow.”
“What time do you start?”
“Five.”
“Then, yes. You had better be going. I wish you well.”
“I wish you well.”
She got up and put the robe on again. He helped her sash it and told her how to get back to the change room. She smiled. “Okay. Thank you again.”
She left him and followed the direction down the hall, through the blue door, and back to her locker. She got dressed in her street clothing, put her robe in the hamper, and exited through the door marked with the huge exit sign. It was strange, but she felt very relaxed and calm.
The bouncer from earlier saw her and grinned. “I will call you a cab.”
“Thank you. Not sure I am up for the walk.”
There was a deep chuckle, and the troll got a cab in under a minute.
