Lyra's Enchantments and Relationship Counseling

Lyra rested her chin on one hand and drummed her fingers on her table. She huffed and closed her eyes, listening to the bustling streets outside and the subtle drip of water from the ceiling, a leak in her roof she still hadn’t bothered to fix. “Another boring day,” she sighed. “All these wonderful wares, and not a single customer. What am I doing wrong?”

She thought about her outfit and whether it might be off-putting. Most people didn’t walk around in such skimpy clothes, after all. She wore a leather bikini top and bottoms, with a big feathery skirt and an even larger witch’s hat. After a moment of contemplation, she shook her head. No, no, she thought, I look cute as heck! And besides, how could anyone be offended by my outfit if they don’t even come into the shop? Hm… maybe it’s the sign? Or the paint job?

She was so lost in her own thoughts that she almost didn’t notice when the door to her shop opened. Lyra gasped, jolted in her seat, and cleared her throat. “W-Welcome!” she beamed. “How can I help you?”

Her three customers looked like any other adventuring party, though it was a little rare to see one that was entirely made up of women. One of them was tall, with a broadsword sheathed at her hip and a leather vest that showed off her impressively muscular arms. Another wore a black cloak, the hood hiding her eyes, and clutched a wooden staff with a crystal embedded in the tip. A warrior, a mage, and…

And the last, a tiny, wiry little rogue with a cloth mask covering her chin and a small dagger, was staring at Lyra’s chest.

Lyra giggled. Oh, gosh, looks like we’ve got some cuties here today! But this is no time to flirt. These are customers! Even though I’m sure they’d look pretty hot, all mindless and obedient…

The warrior nudged the rogue with her elbow and smirked. “So, what was that about seeing a ‘normal’ enchantress, Moony?”

“Sh-Shut up,” the rogue – Moon? – muttered. “I didn’t know she’d be dressed like… that.”

“She better not try to enthrall us,” the mage frowned. “It was a pain in the ass to save you from that vampire.”

“Um… I can hear you,” Lyra interjected. “And don’t worry! I’m not, like, that kind of enchantress!” Well, at least not right now… “I just ‘enchant’ weapons and armor, giving you elemental advantages and other kinds of neat effects!”

“See?” Moon huffed. “We had good reason to go here, Lei.”

“Eh, whatever,” Lei shrugged, resting her hand on the hilt of her sword. “I’m strong enough that I probably don’t even need any enchantments on ol’ rusty here. And besides, can’t Anya do that sort of thing?”

The mage shook her head. “Enchantments are a different skillset from casting spells. I could learn it, but it would take years…”

“Hm.” Lei ran a hand through her hair. “Well, we’re here anyway. What’ve you got, miss, uh…?”

“Lyra,” the shopkeeper replied. “And here, um, let me show you…”

She looked to the corner of the room at a large wooden chest. Lyra tapped it with her fingers, and it rose up from the floor and hovered towards the table. It gradually came to a stop and fell. The table was crushed by its weight, collapsing instantly.

Lyra blinked. “…Oh.”

“Gosh, that’s unfortunate,” Moon gasped.

“But it was pretty neat to see the chest fly around like that,” Lei added.

“Meh.” Anya shrugged. “I could do that.”

“Good for you!” Lyra smiled through gritted teeth. She knelt down in front of the chest and popped open the lid. “Okay, let’s see, uh…” She pulled out a silver ring with a black jewel embedded in it. “Invisibility ring! Probably quite useful for the rogue, eh?”

“Let me see,” Moon replied, reaching for the ring.

“Ah!” Lyra exclaimed, grinning. “Allow me, dear.” She held Moon’s hand and slowly slid the ring on. “It’s not about letting you see… it’s about letting your friends not see!”

As soon as the ring was on, Moon vanished. Lei and Anya gasped. “Oh, nice!” Lei chuckled. “And it even applies to her clothes too!”

“That’s a relief,” Anya nodded. “Remember that time she drank that potion, but she had to strip down to actually turn invisible?”

“Yeah! And then it wore off before she made it back to the inn?”

“W-We don’t have to talk about this!” Moon whined. She pulled the ring off, her now-visible cheeks beet red. “But, um, this seems good.”

“Great!” Lyra giggled, clapping her hands together. “So, for the warrior here… hm…” She tapped her chin. “You seem pretty attached to that sword, yes? I don’t suppose I could interest you in another?”

“Not a chance.” Lei pulled her sword halfway out of its scabbard and smiled wistfully. “We’ve been together too long to part ways just because I found something newer.”

“Well, how about strengthening it?” Lyra offered. “I can make the blade as resilient as diamond. That way it’ll never break, and you’ll never have to find another sword!”

“Hm…” Lei stroked her chin. “Wouldn’t that make it hard to sharpen, though?”

“Ah, but it would never get dull in the first place!”

“Really?” Lei smiled. “Well, shit, how can I say no to that?”

“Exactly!” Lyra beamed. “And for you, miss mage–”

“Just Anya is fine,” Anya interrupted. “And I don’t need anything.”

“Are you sure?” Lyra pouted. “Not a single thing? What about some armor for your next quest?”

“I don’t think that would help. We’re not expecting to run into any monsters. We’re heading up to that big volcano to the northeast.”

“Oh?” Lyra giggled. “Well, then I’ve got just the thing!” She rummaged through the chest and yanked out an unassuming dark red robe. “Okay, so for this next one, I’d like you to demonstrate something for me…”

“Uh… I guess?” Anya said, raising an eyebrow.

“Cool!” Lyra threw the robe on and stood a few feet away from Anya. “Now, cast a fire spell at me!”

Anya’s eyes widened. “A-Are you crazy?”

“Trust me, it’ll all make sense!”

The mage turned to her friends, who simply shrugged in response. “Um… okay…?” She held up her staff and closed her eyes. The staff began to glow with a reddish-orange light, until Anya’s eyes shot open again. “Fira!” she shouted, swinging the staff and launching a small fireball at Lyra.

But as soon as it touched the robe, it dissipated into a puff of smoke.

“Huh?” Anya gasped.

“See?” Lyra grinned and threw the robe off dramatically. “Completely resistant to fire! And it’s super lightweight too, so you’ll stay nice and cool while you’re skirting around all that magma!”

“A-Actually, it’s lava,” Moon interjected. “You call it magma when it’s–”

“I don’t care!” Lyra said proudly. “So, ladies, do we have a deal?”

“Uh…” Anya let out a nervous chuckle and smiled. “Yeah, sure!”

“Totally!” Lei laughed. “Aw, this’ll be great!”

“And you, cutie?” Lyra asked, smiling at Moon. “You wanna put a ring on it?”

“Wh-What?!” Moon squeaked.

Lyra giggled. “Oh, I’m just teasing, silly! But you do want the invisibility ring, yes?”

“Oh… u-um yeah… I mean, yes.”

“Awesome! Lemme just ring up your total…” Lyra whipped out a piece of parchment and jotted down some quick math. “And for the two items, plus the enchantment, that comes out to… 2,692 gold.”

Lei’s smile faded. “…Twenty-six hundred?”

“And ninety-two,” Lyra nodded. “Plus tax.”

“Are you out of your mind?!” Anya shouted. “We don’t have that kind of money!”

Lyra shrugged. “Hey, that’s what the stuff is worth.”

“W-Well, um…” Moon stammered. “Don’t you have anything cheaper?”

“Hm…” Lyra tapped her chin. There’s always… that… but I told myself I wouldn’t use it unless I had to… She looked at the trio in front of her and imagined them under her sway. She grinned. Oh, to hell with it! “Actually, there is something closer to your price range. Something I think you’d all be able to… enjoy.”

“Finally, something reasonable,” Lei sighed. “Well, don’t keep us in suspense, show us what you’ve got.”

Lyra smiled and reached for the pendant hanging from her neck. “It’s this!”

The adventurers stood there, waiting for her to continue. Anya cleared her throat after a moment and spoke up. “Okay, it’s a necklace–”

“A pendant,” Lyra corrected.

“…Pendant,” Anya muttered. “So, uh, what does it do, exactly?”

“Oh, I find that this one is better explained visually than with words,” Lyra giggled. She swung the pendant back and forth, and it began to pulse with a strange energy. “Just relax and watch it swing, and it’ll all make sense.”

Anya scoffed and opened her mouth to protest, but she found her eyes couldn’t look away from the pendant. Each pulse seemed to draw her attention towards it; even if her eyes darted away for a second, they’d helplessly lock on to the shimmering crystal right after. “U-Um… what’s…?”

“Oh…” Moon sighed. Her eyelids began to flutter, and her chin hung ajar.

Lyra giggled. “Aw, that’s so cute~! I haven’t even started to hypnotize you three yet, but little Moonie here is already slipping into trance!”

“Huh?” Lei blinked, realizing now that she couldn’t look away from the pendant either. “Hypnotize?”

“Mhm!” Lyra beamed. “I’m hypnotizing you. All of you. And it seems that this little cutie here…” She stood up and sauntered over to Moon, grinning as the trio all followed her pendant with their eyes. “Is already mine. Aren’t you, Moon?”

“Hhhmmm…” Moon murmured. “I… um…”

“You remember being that vampire’s thrall, don’t you?” Lyra asked, softly petting Moon’s hair. “How that felt? The bliss of obedience?”

“Yyeessss,” Moon whimpered, cheeks burning red.

“And you want to feel that again,” Lyra purred, “don’t you, sweetie?”

“Gods, yesss…”

“Then in that case…” Lyra snapped her fingers. “Sink for me, Moon.”

Moon sighed and closed her eyes, falling into Lyra’s arms.

“That’s right,” Lyra cooed, pulling down Moon’s face mask. “good girl. Now, stand up straight for me while I work on your friends, okay?”

“Yesss…” Moon nodded slowly and stood up, swaying drunkenly with a blissful, dreamy smile on her face.

Lyra squealed with delight. Gosh, she’s even cuter than I imagined! I’m gonna have so much fun with her! But I can’t get distracted yet. She turned to Anya and grinned. “And how about you, mage? Did you enjoy seeing your friend fall for me?”

“H-How’re you… doing… this…?” Anya murmured, blinking rapidly with a thin trickle of drool creeping out of the corner of her lips. “I… I have training, to… rrressist…”

“Oh, that won’t help you against me, dear,” Lyra chuckled. “This isn’t a charm spell. All I’m doing here is regular, old-fashioned hypnosis. The pendant just gives me a boost. It makes sure you can’t look away, and it softens your mind up a little bit. You can feel that, can’t you? How your thoughts are becoming slower, how difficult it is to focus on anything but my words?”

“Um… uh…” Anya blinked. “…Yes…?”

“And it feels good,” Lyra said, eyes gleaming, “right?”

“Yeahh…” Anya sighed. “Feels… good…”

“Ugh, I can’t believe this!” Lei snapped. “You’ve got some nerve pulling this kind of stunt, merchant!”

“Oh, you seem a little tougher,” Lyra tittered. “Too angry to relax, huh?”

“Damn right I’m angry!”

“But you still can’t look away, can you?”

“Apparently not,” Lei growled, gritting her teeth. “So?”

“Sooooo…” Lyra took a step towards Lei. “If I want to hypnotize you, I just have to make you not so angry.”

“Yeah?” Lei scoffed. “And how do you plan to do that?”

Lyra smiled. “Moon? Anya?”

“Yes?” her hypnotized prey sighed.

“I want you two to help me out here.” Lyra licked her lips. “Tell your friend here just how good it feels to be hypnotized. Whisper in her ears and share with her the bliss of obedience.”

“H-Huh?” Lei gasped. “Hey, what–”

“Oh, Lei,” Moon purred, clutching Lei’s arm and standing on her toes to reach her friend’s ear. “It feels so wonderful to be hypnotized. I love being so blank and controlled…”

“You’ll love it too,” Anya moaned, lips brushing against Lei’s skin. “Just give in… we can all obey together…”

“Hhhah…” Lei whimpered, cheeks burning red. “Oh, gods…”

“Hm?” Lyra grinned. “What’s the matter? Is the big, strong fighter too weak to resist her friends?”

“N-Not weak,” Lei muttered. “Just, um… I-I mean, shut up…”

“Ahhh, I see…” Lyra giggled. “This is really turning you on, huh?”

“No!” Lei squeaked.

“It totally is! Don’t deny it, babe, it’s obvious. You like having your friends clinging to you, whispering in your ear…” Lyra thought for a moment, then got a devious glint in her eye. “Do you like it when they boss you around?”

“Wh-Wha…?” Lei’s eyes fluttered. “I… I, um…”

“I mean, you’re not the one giving orders, are you? Anya seems like the brains of the operation here…” Lyra smirked. “Or, she would be, if she had a brain right now. But if she’s the one calling the shots, and Moon is the skilled, cunning thief… what does that make you?”

“Uh… I… I dunno…”

Lyra giggled. “That’s my point, silly! You don’t know. You’re not smart. You’re not clever. You’re just a dumb meathead grunt. You swing your sword around and act all tough, but really, deep down? You need someone smarter than you to take control.”

“Th-That’s not…” Lei’s cheeks went red. She squeezed her thighs together. “How do you… know about that…?”

“Oh?” Lyra’s ears perked up. “You’ve been fantasizing about that, haven’t you?”

“Yesss…” Lei bit her lip.

“Tell me about your fantasies, dear.” Lyra held the pendant higher. “Don’t worry, you’re safe here. You can tell me everything.”

“Ssafe… yeah…” Lei swallowed. “Um, like… I think about… Anya… a lot… being at her feet, kneeling… weak…”

“Mmm,” Lyra purred. “So, if I told you to imagine I was Anya… and I went like this…” She placed a hand on Lei’s shoulder and gently pushed down.

Lei fell to her knees and moaned. “Gods, yes…”

“That’s a good girl,” Lyra cooed. She placed the pendant in Lei’s hand and positioned her arm so she was holding it above her head. “Now, just keep swinging that pendant and picturing that scene in your head, dear. Get lost in your fantasy, and do what comes naturally to you.”

“Hhhaaahh…” Lei shuddered, nodding slowly. “Yess… Anya…”

Lyra squealed in delight and hopped up and down at the sight of the trio of hypnotized adventurers. Gosh, it’s been ages since I bagged three cuties at the same time! I’m the best! She skipped over to the front door and hung up the “closed” sign. Don’t want anyone walking in on this… though at this rate, I don’t think anyone would’ve come by anyway…

She took a deep breath and pondered her next move. Let’s see… the fighter is kinda taking care of herself right now, and I don’t really have an angle on the mage yet… and I’m really curious about that vampire’s thrall thing… Lyra grinned and approached Moon, still standing with that dopey smile on her face. “Oh, Moon~” she whispered, cupping the hypnotized girl’s chin. “Can you hear me?”

“Yesss,” Moon sighed.

“Tell me about that scary vampire you three fought,” Lyra said. “And how it felt to be a mindless, obedient thrall…”

Anya hummed softly and rolled over. Mmm… I think I had a weird dream… must’ve been a dream, yeah… don’t remember this bed being so hard, though…

She heard a giggle come from above her and cracked open an eye. Wait… this isn’t the inn…?

“Oh, Anya,” Moon purred, nudging Anya onto her back with her foot. “So glad you could join us…”

“Wh-What the…?” Anya gasped. She wasn’t dreaming. The shop was real. And now Moon was standing over her, completely naked, with the perverted shopkeeper draped over her shoulders.

“She looks surprised,” Lyra smirked. “What’s the matter, dear? Never seen your comrade naked before?”

“Oh, she definitely has, Mistress,” Moon giggled. “I’ve caught her sneaking a peek at me while I’m changing countless times. She thought I never noticed, but…”

“You…” Anya scowled. “Lei? Dammit, where–”

“I’m afraid Lei is indisposed right now,” Lyra interrupted, pointing at the far corner of the room. “Take a look.”

Anya looked and saw Lei, also naked, bouncing up and down on a shiny, silver dildo. Her eyes were rolled up into her head, drool spilling freely from her lips; it was obvious she was under some sort of enchantment too. Shit, this is really bad…

“Eyes on me, Anya,” Moon growled. She knelt down and grabbed her friend’s face roughly, turning it towards hers. “You’re mine. I don’t want you wandering off, looking at other girls.”

“M-Moon…” Anya gulped. “Moon, snap out of it! This isn’t you!”

“Ugh, really?” Moon sighed. “That’s what you’re going with? I’m sick of that old cliché.” She straddled Anya’s hips, running a hand up Anya’s chest towards her collar. “I don’t care if this how you think I should be acting. I like how I am. I know Mistress made me her thrall, and it makes me feel… so good…” She whimpered and bit her lip; Anya could smell sex in the air, and she knew it wasn’t from Lei.

Moon yanked on Anya’s cloak, tearing the fabric and exposing the mage’s breasts. She giggled and placed a hand on her own smaller chest. “Mmm… you know, they do say that mana is stored in the tits… I guess that explains why you’re so good at this magic stuff, right?”

“Th-That’s not…” Anya tutted, realizing how foolish it would be to refute such an obvious falsehood. She turned her head towards Lyra and scowled. “I suppose you’re going to sell me a new robe after this?”

“Fresh out, I’m afraid,” Lyra chuckled. “But I might be able to get you a discount from Cassandra down the road.”

“You have a comeback for everything, huh?”

“It’s easier to sell things when you’re charming,” Lyra beamed proudly. “And what could be more charming than wits and tits?”

“Gods, you’re such a perv– ah!” Anya yelped as Moon started to suckle on her breasts.

“Mmm,” the enthralled thief purred. “You taste good, Anya… I wonder, if I got you horny enough, I could get some milk out of these girls…”

“Wh-What?” Anya asked, bewildered.

“Ooh, there’s an idea…” Lyra muttered. “Moon, keep that up.”

“Yes, my Mistress,” Moon grinned before kissing and suckling on Anya’s breasts once again.

Lyra knelt down behind Anya and held the pendant above the helpless mage’s eyes. “You remember my little helper, right?”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake…” Anya sighed. “What are you planning now, merchant? Planning to whore us out to the highest bidder at some black-market auction? Or maybe you just want to keep us for yourself, some sort of harem?”

“Well, I’m a little offended by that first thing,” Lyra huffed. “I’m not a monster, Anya. I’d never sell someone into sex slavery.”

“But you’re not refuting the harem idea,” Anya noted.

Lyra chuckled. “True, you three would make some cute additions to my gaggle of pretty girls. But, well…”

“Well?”

“I’m afraid I just don’t need you.”

“What does that mean?”

“I already have mages, and thieves, and warriors. And, um…” Lyra sighed and put the pendant down. “Okay, I’m not trying to be mean. Really. But none of you are remarkable enough to consider keeping around full-time.”

“We’re not what?” Anya scowled. “A-Are you saying we’re not even good enough to be your brainwashed sex-pets? Are you saying we suck?”

“You don’t suck!” Lyra insisted. “Just, like… I have a mage who can do mental enchantments, right? You’re not skilled in that, and I don’t have a need for the general-purpose elemental stuff that you do.”

“So I’m not useful to–” Anya stopped herself and groaned. “Dammit… how did you get me arguing for becoming part of your harem?”

“What can I say?” Lyra tittered. “I’m charismatic!”

“You’re annoying,” Anya growled. “And perverted, and duplicitous, and–” The mage gasped as Moon pinched hard on her nipple.

“And you,” Moon purred, “need to stop thinking and let Mistress start thinking for you.”

“S-Stop it,” Anya muttered.

Lyra smirked. “I think you should listen to your friend, Anya. Doesn’t she seem happy? Doesn’t she seem so much more at peace with herself?”

“Not in the slightest,” Anya grimaced. “She’s only acting this way because you’re making her.”

“Am I?” Lyra turned to the thief and snapped her fingers. “Moon, dear?”

“Yes, Mistress?” Moon asked, her voice sickeningly reverent.

“Imagine you’re wearing a collar right now,” Lyra said, “and I’m holding the leash.” She reached out her hand and held up the imaginary cord. “And when I pull–” she continued, yanking her hand back, “you feel my control tighten around your mind.”

Moon whimpered and closed her eyes. Her head jolted forward, pulled by Lyra’s suggestion, then sank limply to her chest.

“Good girl,” Lyra cooed. “Deeper down, now. Back into trance. And when I snap my fingers, Moon, I want you to feel my suggestions fade. You’ll no longer by my thrall. None of my triggers and commands will have any effect on you. You’ll be your normal self, in every conceivable way. But you’ll still remember everything I did with you while you were under my control. Do you understand, dear?”

“Yes… Lyra…” Moon sighed.

The shopkeeper snapped her fingers.

Moon’s eyes shut, then fluttered open a moment later. Her back straightened out and she let out a soft sigh, then a yawn. Her gaze focused on Anya, still lying on the floor of the shop.

Then she looked down and realized she was still naked.

The thief yelped and covered her chest, blushing furiously. “G-Gods!”

Anya groaned and rolled her eyes. “Moon, please. There’re more important things going on than our mutual lack of dress.”

“S-Sorry,” Moon stammered, slowly putting her arms back down at her sides. “I… I knew I was naked, but… when Lyra had me under her control, I didn’t really notice it?” She paused, then glared at Lyra. “Hm. I’m not thinking of you as ‘Mistress,’ but…”

“But…?” Lyra asked.

Moon responded with a hard slap to the shopkeeper’s face. “Okay, good,” Moon nodded. “I’m definitely not under your control.”

“Agh!” Lyra winced, rubbing the red mark that Moon had left. “Hey! Wasn’t there a way to test that without hitting me?”

“Probably,” Anya smirked, “but you have to admit, you kind of deserved that.”

“No, I don’t!” Lyra protested. “I’ll admit to taking you three by surprise, but no more. I haven’t hurt any of you. I didn’t even touch you.”

“That’s… true,” Moon muttered.

“And in fact,” Lyra continued, “you enjoyed being under my control, didn’t you?”

“N-No way!” Moon squeaked.

“Liar.” The shopkeeper crossed her arms and smirked. “You loved it, you subby little slut. And so does your little fighter friend.”

“Gguhhh,” Lei moaned, still fucking herself on a dildo in the back corner of the room. “Yesss, Mistressss…”

“There’s a difference,” Anya interjected, “between debasing yourself and betraying your friends.”

“Yeah!” Moon pointed a finger at Lyra. “The only parts I enjoyed was the fucking and stuff!”

Lyra tapped her chin and hummed softly. “Hm… so, it’s not so much being under someone’s control you enjoyed, but the feeling of being uninhibited and freely exploring each other’s bodies?”

“Uh…” Moon furrowed her brow. “What’s… ‘uninbibibated’ mean?”

“It means you’re open about your sexual desires,” Anya sighed. “You’ve been slacking on your reading lessons again, haven’t you?”

“Well, you need to know that stuff for your spells and stuff,” Moon huffed. “Why does a thief need to know how to read, huh?”

“There was that time you got caught and thrown in jail because you couldn’t see that the exit door was labeled ‘pull,’” Anya replied.

“Alright, that was one–”

“That’s happened twice, Moon.”

“Gods, how did you girls ever survive out there…?” Lyra muttered. “Look, I’m not gonna brainwash you to be my harem. I just want you all to be more connected and open with each other.”

Anya narrowed her eyes. “Don’t you mean, ‘ridiculously perverted?’”

“Well, duh,” Lyra giggled. “That doesn’t preclude the other things, silly. I mean, it was obvious from the start that all three of you are, like, incredibly gay for each other.”

“That’s not–” Anya interjected.

“No,” Moon said, “that’s true. She got us dead to rights on that one.”

“But!” Lyra exclaimed. “You were all too insecure and hesitant to act on it.”

“…Yeah…” Anya grumbled.

“Sooooo,” Lyra continued, “what’s the harm in getting you all together, as the lesbian polycule you were always destined to be?”

“B-But we didn’t have a choice!” Anya protested. “You forced us to come together!”

Lyra smirked. “Would you have ever done it without me hypnotizing you?”

Anya opened her mouth, sure that she would say something clever to refute the shopkeeper’s words. But she couldn’t. Lyra was right. Deep down, they all knew how much they were into each other, but they were too afraid to act on it.

“Thought so,” Lyra giggled. “Now, do you have anything else to say, or will you shut up and let me fix you?”

“Well, wait,” Moon replied, “what about Lei? What does she think?”

“Huh? Oh, right.” Lyra stepped over and tapped Lei on the forehead. “Wakey wakey, my buff babe!”

“Mmuh?” Lei blinked. Her face twitched. She looked down at her naked body, then up at her friends. “…Uh… what did I miss?”

“Lesbian sex,” Lyra chuckled. “And lots of it.”

“Enough with the jokes!” Anya huffed. “Look, Lei, here’s the deal. This shopkeeper is a pervert and… incredibly weird… but she was right about us.”

“And how we’re all gay for each other,” Moon added.

“Right. So, Moon and I are okay with her hypnotizing us and getting us past our insecurities and inhibitions, so we can be as free and open with each other as we wanted. But what about you?”

“Huh?” Lei cocked her head to the side.

“Like, do you also want to be our girlfriend?” Moon asked. “Or are you too weirded out by all this?”

“Um…” Lei blushed and finally slid the long, silver dildo out of her cunt. “Well, I… I do want to be with you gals, but…”

“But?” Anya raised an eyebrow.

“But I want to be your mutual bottom bitch!” Lei shouted. “I realized I’m really fucking subby and like being demeaned and bossed around, s-so I want you both to be my Mistresses!”

“E-Eh?!” Anya and Moon yelped.

Lyra burst out laughing. “Wow, that’s pretty forward!”

“Shut up!” Lei growled indignantly. “It’s the truth! I can still kick your ass, so don’t give me any lip!” She turned to Anya and Moon, swallowed, and bowed to them. “Please do this for me. If we’re going to be together, I don’t want to be your equal. I want to be your dumb muscle, your pet, your slave.” She exhaled sharply, clenching her fists and curling her toes. “Gods, this… I can’t believe I’m admitting all this…”

“Y-You really mean it?” Moon asked warily. “You’re not being, like, compelled to say it?”

“No, I’m serious,” Lei replied, picking her head up. “I’ve had fantasies about it for ages, but… I could never admit that I felt that way. I mean, it sounds crazy, right? But we’re in a crazy situation with an insane pervert holding our minds in her hands. Why hold back now?”

“Hey!” Lyra pouted. “I may be a pervert, but I’m not crazy!”

“Sorry,” Lei muttered. “You are weird, though.”

“Please don’t insult the enchantress who’s going to brainwash all of us,” Anya sighed. “I don’t want to wake up tomorrow thinking I’m a chicken or something.”

“Oh, I wouldn’t do anything like that,” Lyra smiled. “I might make you think your name is ‘Tits,’ though.”

“Okay, that’s enough dawdling!” Moon said loudly. “Are we doing this or not? I’m ready to go under!”

“R-Right,” Anya blushed. “Um… I’m ready too!”

“That’s what I like to see,” Lyra nodded, “some initiative! Lei, how about you?”

“Yes, uh…” Lei bit her lip. “C-Can I touch myself while you hypnotize me?”

Lyra sighed happily. “Girl, you’re about to give me second thoughts about not keeping you… but I’d hate to break up a bunch of cuties who all love each other.”

She held up her pendant and grinned. “Alright, girls. Follow the pendant and sink for me…”

Moon grumbled and turned away from the morning light. Morning already…? Weren’t we just at the…? She pulled her blanket tighter and sighed. Too early for thinking. Need to lay here for, like… a lot longer.

She rolled over, but found herself slamming into something warm and soft. Huh? Whatha…?

The thief opened her eyes and gasped. Anya was next to her.

In her bed.

Naked.

Moon yelped and flailed, falling out of the bed in shock.

Anya hummed softly and slowly picked her head up. “Hm? I feel like I just had a really pleasant dream…”

“A-Anya!” Moon stammered. “What are you doing in my bed?”

“Huh?” The mage cocked her head to the side. “What do you mean? We always share a bed.”

“That’s not…” Moon furrowed her brow. That certainly didn’t sound right. She looked around the room and noticed three beds – one that Anya was in, another that Lei was sleeping in, and one that was empty. Why would we have three beds if Anya and I…?

The more she thought about it, though, the more Moon remembered how often they’d been sleeping together. She could picture countless other instances in her mind. Around a campfire, her head resting on Anya’s shoulders, exhausted. Some other inn, not as nice as this one, holding each other’s bodies for warmth on a cold winter’s night.

Moon scratched her head. “Oh… yeah, that’s… you’re right. Gods, how did I forget that?”

“Sounds like you might’ve had one of those dreams,” Anya chuckled. “I get a lot of dreams where I think I’m back studying magic, and I have some big exam I haven’t studied for…”

“Hm…” Moon thought for a moment. “I think I… dreamed about being that vampire’s thrall again?”

“Was it a bad dream?”

“Uh…” Moon blushed. “N-Not really…”

Anya grinned. “It was a sexy dream, wasn’t it?”

“No!” Moon squeaked, blushing profusely.

“Sure it wasn’t,” Anya smirked. “But it’s funny, I think I had a dream about the same thing.”

“Really?” Moon raised an eyebrow. “That’s kinda weird, isn’t it?”

“Yeah…” Anya furrowed her brow for a moment, then smiled. “Ah, I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, though.”

“Right, totally,” Moon nodded, “just a coincidence.”

“Just a coincidence,” Anya repeated, blinking slowly. “Right.” She paused for a moment, seeming almost to drift back to sleep, before shaking her head and letting out a yawn. Her eyes flicked over to the other occupied bed in the room and scowled. “I see we’ve woken up before our pet again. Typical.”

Moon snickered. “Oh, lay off her. She does all the physical stuff; it makes sense she’d be tuckered out.”

“As if my magic isn’t just as draining!” Anya scoffed. She strode over to Lei’s bed and smacked the mattress. “Pet! Up!”

“Gah!” Lei yelped, jolting awake. “S-Sorry, Mistresses… I try not to sleep in so much, I really do…”

“It’s okay–” Moon tried to interject, but Anya shushed her.

The mage grinned at her pet. “I had hoped to wake up to cup of coffee, Lei. You know I need a pick-me-up in the morning to get my mind in gear.” She sat down in Lei’s bed, running a hand through her hair and casually spreading her legs apart. “How do you suppose you can make it up to me, my pet?”

Lei gulped, cheeks bright red. “I-I…”

“Yes?” Anya smirked.

“…Yes, Mistress,” Lei mumbled.

“Pardon?”

“Yes, Mistress!” Lei repeated firmly. She crawled out of bed and fell to her knees, sighing happily as she planted a kiss on Anya’s lower lips.

“Mmm, good girl,” Anya purred as Lei worshipped her pussy. “Just like that… you’re so good at pleasing me.”

Moon chuckled at how selfish Anya was being. She’s always demanding so much of Lei. Good thing that girl likes being ordered around and used like a sex toy, or else I’d start to feel a little guilty. She sat down on her own bed and slid her hand between her legs, idly teasing her clit as she watched her friends fuck.

She had a strange feeling that she shouldn’t be doing this; that something was seriously wrong with how everyone was acting. Well, it’s true that we’re pretty perverted and kinky… a normal person watching us would think we’re a bunch of freaks… Moon whimpered and bit her lip. Gods, that’s kinda hot… never thought I’d be getting off to shame, but–

“Oh, Moonie~?” Anya cooed, batting her eyes. “I didn’t get my morning kiss, dear…”

Moon smirked. “Gods, you are such a brat.”

“Only because you let me be. Now.” Anya pointed to her lips and puckered them.

“Alright, alright, I’m a-coming.” Moon stepped over to the mage and kissed her.

Anya purred, playfully sticking her tongue between Moon’s lips. She wrapped her arms around the rogue’s waist, pulling her in tighter. One of her hands slid down to Moon’s ass and gave it a firm squeeze.

“Oh!” Moon gasped. “Wow, you are feeling horny this morning.”

“You’ve got that right,” Anya grinned. “I don’t know why, but… I feel like I’ve been holding something in. This big well of arousal, and desire…” She licked her lips and lidded her eyes. “I love you so fucking much, Moon.”

“And I love you too, Anya.” Moon kissed her again, this time on the neck, peppering her with tiny pecks as her mouth moved down to her breasts.

“Mmm, yes,” Anya whimpered, “just like that…”

“You talking to me?” Moon asked. “Or Lei?”

Anya smiled. “Both.”

“Thkk ooh Mffrthhh,” Lei mumbled from between Anya’s legs.

“Less talking, more licking,” Anya replied.

“Actually…” Moon grinned. “I’ve got a better idea.”

She shoved Anya’s back onto the bed and crawled onto it. “Lei, get that dildo you like.”

“The silver one,” Lei asked, wiping off some of Anya’s juices.

“Yeah,” Moon nodded. “You can bounce on it while you eat my asshole.”

Lei blushed. “Th-Thank you, Mistress.” She scurried off to rifle through her stuff. She sifted through some items she remembered buying the other day – the invisibility ring, her newly-strengthened sword, the fireproof robes.

Finally, she found the silver dildo and smiled. “Hey, while I’m thinking about it,” Lei said, “maybe after we get back from this volcano thing, we could head back to that witch Lyra’s shop.”

“Oh, yeah!” Moon replied. “Maybe I can whore you out to her to thank her for the gear.”

“U-Um… yeah…” Lei’s face flushed and she squeezed her thighs together. “She’s really pretty… B-But not as pretty as you, Mistresses!”

“I know,” Moon giggled. “Now, how about you stop that yapping and put that tongue to some real use, ‘kay?”

“Yes, Mistress,” Lei purred, placing the dildo on the floor and sliding onto it.

Anya raised an eyebrow. “My, you’re certainly taking charge.”

“Surprised?” Moon giggled.

“A little. You always seemed so shy and reserved. You’d boss Lei around, sure, but…” Anya shrugged. “I don’t know. I just assumed I was the dominant one in the relationship.”

“Well, you still are,” Moon replied. “I’m doing this to make you happy, after all.” She placed her head between Anya’s thighs and took a deep breath. “Fuck, you smell good…”

“You’re even hornier than I thought,” Anya chuckled. “And I thought Lei was the bitch in heat.”

“Shut the fuck up.”

“Make me.”

Moon cracked a wry grin and pressed her lips to Anya’s cunt. A moment later, she felt Lei’s tongue behind her and purred. Gods, I must be the luckiest girl in the world. What did I ever do to deserve a life like this?

On the other side of the door to their room, Lyra smiled as she heard the moans of the adventuring party. “Ah, I just love making my customers happy!” she beamed. “And with those free samples, they’ll have to come back!”

She paused and tapped her chin. “Well… they’ll come back and thank me, at least… hopefully they’ll buy something next time…” Lyra shrugged and straightened her hat. “Ah, well. Either way, I made them happy. That’s what I got into this business to do anyway!”

Lyra sauntered out of the inn and back to her shop. She couldn’t wait for those cuties to come back and thank her.

And who knows? she thought with a grin. Maybe I’ll get some more new customers today…
