Champion

Chapter 63

***

It took a few minutes for David, Sapphire, and Laurena to recover from their climaxes. When they finally did Sapphire was the first to break the silence.

"Wow," she said, laying on her back and staring at the roof of the tent. Rolling to the side she snuggled up to David and laid her head on his chest. "That was even better than the first time," she murmured.

"Glad to be of service," he replied with a chuckle.

"I told you so," Laurena reminded her friend mirthfully.

Lifting up Sapphire turned to face her, and beckoned the acolyte to join her. Laurena crawled over to them and sat on the mat next to Sapphire. The Dracian shifted over and hugged her friend once she was seated. "Thank you Laurena. I know it was a lot to ask, and I truly appreciate you being here."

The acolyte hugged her back and whispered in her ear, "Anytime."

Sapphire smiled and returned to cuddling with David.

"Also thank you David. I know you and Laurena have not always gotten along, and I was worried you would be mad that I asked her to stay. I don't know what I would have done if you had been less understanding."

Lifting his head from his pillow he leaned down and kissed the top of her head. "I'm in love with you honey. I won't claim to understand why you needed this, but I don't have to. Anything you need, any time you need it, if I have the power to make it happen, I will."

Turning his head to look at the acolyte, he continued to speak his mind. "Also, I know you and I have had our issues Laurena, but I am willing to forgive you if you are willing to forgive me. You have come a long way in the last few days, and if you are willing to give us a second chance how can I do any less for you?"

"I have already forgiven you David," she replied, blinking away the moisture that was filling her eyes, "and I only hope to be worthy of your forgiveness...both of you."

Not even looking Sapphire reached back and groped around for her friend's hand. Once she captured it she pulled Laurena in behind herself and cast a spell of cleansing on all of them. Then she used her telekinesis to lift the blankets over their resting forms. "Time for bed you two," she said yawning. "We can talk more in the morning."

David woke up early the next morning. He had set the alarm on his watch because he wanted to work on Sapphire's surprise gift. The key word here being 'surprise'. He nearly woke her up sneaking out, but managed to pull off his departure as well as secure the necessary accoutrements from her possessions to ensure his plan's success. He was able to conjure her gift, replace her pilfered belongings, and start on the enchanting before the women woke up. It would probably take a week or more to charge some of the enchantments - and some he had no idea how long they would take - but at least they were started. He hid everything in his rucksack, and charged her gift every time he charged his pair of swords.

Once the women were awake and everyone had eaten, he began their scheduled training for that day. He had originally planned to only stop for a few days, but both women were progressing so well he realized that it would be better for their safety to spend a little bit longer training. They began the morning with three hours of firearms training. Half an hour of basic shooting techniques, then he taught them advanced shooting techniques for the remaining two and a half hours. After a break for lunch they changed over to stick / knife fighting and unarmed combat. Sapphire continued to improve, and Laurena continued to improve faster. The acolyte was still a long way from being able to compete with him, but he was confident she could fight off any of the assholes he had encountered so far...one-on-one.

That evening both Sapphire and Laurena were in high spirits. David had heaped on the praise for their successes to date, and reminded them that they were progressing very quickly in disciplines that they had no prior experience with, or even knowledge of. He told them how proud he was of them both. They soaked up his praise, and doted on him during dinner in response. Watching them chat away happily, he decided to add a small gift for Laurena to his list of projects. It wasn't much, but she had proven herself so well over the last few days he wanted to make her something. She mattered to Sapphire now, and that meant she mattered to him too. He would conjure it the next morning before they woke up.

After dinner the trio retired to the tent, and David decided to surprise them with a small gift. He stopped them from climbing onto the sleeping mat, and banished it and the bedding. Then he methodically conjured a beautiful, king-sized, four-poster bed, and then finished the whole thing off with comfortable bedding.

Turning to see what his love and her new friend thought of his creation, he saw a mixture of pride, appreciation, love, and lust. Mission accomplished. Both women loved the look of the improved sleeping arrangements, and after the trio had changed and gotten into bed their praise for his work hit a new high. He figured they would love the memory foam mattress topper, and he was right. As the two happy women settled into either side of him, and they all began to drift off to sleep, Sapphire remembered something she had forgotten to do.

"David?" she whispered to him.

"Hmm?" he mumbled, already half asleep.

"Do you remember your 'magic d**k' comment?"

"Yeah," he whispered back, more alert now.

"Are you interested to know if it is true?" she teased him quietly.

He thought about it for a moment. Was he going to get lucky again? He had been hoping for a repeat performance tonight, but when Laurena joined them on the bed he just figured it wasn't happening. Did he really want to have s*x with her when Laurena was lying in bed with them? Would it be that much weirder than doing it with her sitting with them in the tent? Probably not.

His mind resolved, he slid his hand down her back and palmed her ass, massaging her firm globes. "Sure thing beautiful, what did you have in mind?"

"Behave," she admonished him, slapping his abdomen playfully. Then she began stroking his hard abs lightly, drifting lower and lower while she talked.

"Laurena and I discussed the issue of how our magic increased after the service in Exitibus. I agreed to test the idea that it was s*x with you that was the cause, rather than the service. Are you interested to see what we discovered?"

"Are you saying last night only happened because you wanted to conduct an experiment?" he whispered, faux angry. He wasn't really angry. The s*x with her was amazing, and he hoped he would get plenty more. Whatever convoluted logic she had to come up with to make it happen was okay with him.
