Page 13 of Magic in His Arms
Sable walked up and said, “If the couple would like to have their first dance, they will be joined on the dance floor by the blessing.Gentlemen, keep your hands to yourselves.Ladies, if it’s a yes, go for it.”
Hannah laughed and turned to Neekil.“This is the last mandatory ritual on the list.”
He grinned and took her in his arms.“Can we make up a few more?I am having fun.”
The song was slow and low.Hannah looked at him and smiled.“To think, when I first met you, I thought you were a creep.”
He smiled, and they swayed slowly.“And now you know I am, but I am your creep.”
“Yup, to the bone and beyond.A true soulmate.We have tested it.”She grinned.“And dark enough to keep my dad happy.”
He laughed.“You as well.You are passing charcoal and heading for midnight.”
“Heading for midnight.Sounds like a thriller.”
“Oh, I am thrilled by you regularly.”
A shiver of sound began, and Hannah looked behind him.“Oh, wow.”
They continued swaying as the group of nine women surrounded them.Neekil held her and looked around, grinning.“Wow, indeed.”
The women were wearing a mask of lace across their eyes, a halter-type wrap that supported their breasts, a wide bib of a necklace, and a soft wrap of skirts that were held down by a belt of metal chains decorated with coins that were currently still.
Jakada said, “Couple, would you like us concealed or true?”
Neekil explained what she meant, and Hannah said, “True.”
The women chuckled, and they changed.Shadows covered Hura, Vaia’s colouration was more subtle, but the connection was obvious.There was a pearl-coloured goblin female, Krys’s fairy, Jakada’s body was covered with glyphs, an orc woman with bulging muscles and tight skin, a werewolf, a lioness, and the most startling of all, a forest lord female, with horns and rippling with power.
Hannah watched as the women started swaying, and the music turned wild.Their hips moved in precise motions, ribcages lifting and dropping, the shivering sound of their metalwork became part of the music, and as their arms moved in sinuous patterns and they began to swirl around them, Hannah felt a very specific type of pressure.It felt like two or three glasses of wine and then watching Neekil work out kind of pressure, and it became more intense.
Her husband pulled her against him as the dancing became more energetic, and the pressure built.
Hannah knew magic when she saw it, and it built around them, causing Neekil to shake against her.It was working on him as well.
Light danced around them, and she felt everything warm and supportive moving through her.The music got faster and faster until the pressure was as hard as having the weight of a lover on her, and then there was a final flash, and the ladies grinned.
The music changed into lighter fare, and the women moved away from the couple.
Hannah gasped.“They just danced an orgasm.”
Neekil turned her and said, “They did a lot more than that.Did you want to waste it?”
“Oh, no.That would be rude.”
He grinned, lifted her, and walked her into the shadows.They could come back to the party later.It was going to go on until dawn.

Laughing, the ladiesdanced for half an hour for the entertainment of the guests, and then their time was up.
Bella glanced at the fixated glances they were getting from the male and a few female guests.Not a bad ratio.
Krys said, “The couple has sent a message: if you want to remain, you are to be treated as guests.We have set up a table for you, and there are hot meals and desserts waiting.”
Hura shrugged.“Sure.Can we dance if we like?”
“I believe that is why Neekil sent the text.If you don’t want to stay, don’t.”
