Chapter 62
Nariana
This time, the family wasn't waiting in the foyer. Danis was, ready to take our coats. The young man's eyes grew wide when he saw the weapons Wraythe and Talin wore so easily underneath. Then, he offered to take Ela's hat and cane. Ela gladly gave him the hat, but mentioned that as a priest, his cane was for more than walking.
Sounds from the study made it clear where the men were. I was willing to bet the women were waiting in the drawing room, which would make this a little easier. Tath wanted me to believe I was at his beck and call. I was here to prove to him that things didn't always work out the way he wanted.
"Shall we?" I asked, gesturing to the study.
It was Ela who stepped up to take my arm. "This is going to be so much fun," he breathed, tipping his head for Talin to lead on.
"Brothers," Talin said as he entered the study. "I see you've already started serving drinks. Let me introduce you to my companions this time. Priest Eladehl and his partner, who you know, Priestess Nariana. Behind them is Eladehl's guardian, Wraythe."
"By the gods," Thiemo gasped.
"Yes, I'm huge," Wraythe finished for him. "I promise I've heard it before."
"Nariana," Tath said, his tone almost a purr. "Why don't you come sit with me?"
"That would make it hard to enjoy a drink, Lord Ranndor," I said.
"And yet you'll do it anyway," Tath sneered. "Your High Priest assured me that an exception was made. I did warn Talin that I would have you. Now, I intend to make it the truth."
"Oh, a session?" Ela said, pausing to kiss my lips sweetly before guiding me down to an empty loveseat. "Well, if that's the case, we'll need to set both limits and goals for the encounter. Sexual, I'm assuming?"
"What?" Tath huffed.
Ela smiled at him, the look a bit seductive. "I'll assume that's a yes. She is delicious, is she not? I highly suggest you see what she can do with her tongue. Mm." He closed his eyes to prove how good it could be. "But if orgasm is the goal, we'll need limits. Would you like to go over this now so she can sit with you, or would you rather do it privately? I mean, you'll need a safe word, we'll have to go through our list of toys - er, hers, since I won't be playing this time."
Thiemo snorted in an attempt to hold back his laugh. "Oh, whatareyour limits, Tath? How hard should the spankings be?"
"We'll have to wait for the accessories to be unpacked, too," I pointed out. "Blood play, Tath? Bondage? Shaming? I mean, if you want basic sex..." I stood and began to unbutton the top of my shirt. "We can get that over with in a few minutes."
"Minutes?" Tath snapped. "Hours, woman."
"Lubricant," Wraythe muttered.
"And he'll have to agree to Nari's limits," Talin pointed out. "You see, dear brother, when you got permission for a session with my desire, you forgot one thing. The temple rules state that she is allowed consent as well. She may 'have' to fuck you, but she doesn't have to accept abuse. That's why she has a guardian."
"Or a few," Wraythe said, glaring at the man.
Thiemo just leaned forward and grabbed a bottle. "I believe port was your drink, priestess? How about the rest of you?"
"Port for me," Ela said.
Talin gestured between him and Wraythe. "Whiskey for us. I'll get that. Thanks, Thiemo."
The youngest brother, Kanten, was grinning like this was the most fun he'd ever had. Thiemo filled a glass and passed it to me. Next, he filled one for Ela. When Thiemo passed the glass to Ela in front of my body, their hands touched around the glass. Talin's second oldest brother's eyes jumped up to meet Ela's. His lips curled into a smile.
Ela's matched, and on my side of the glass, where no one else could see, Ela gently caressed Thiemo's finger with his own. With that simple gesture, I was pretty sure we had one more Ranndor on our side. Poor Tath. He had no idea the fight he'd picked when he'd tried to take away my control.
"I've heard we have a friend in common," Ela told him. "You know my mentor, Priestess Shalsa?"
Thiemo let go of the glass, leaned back, and chuckled. "I do. So, if she's your mentor, should I assume you have some rather dark preferences?"
"I do," Ela agreed.
"And if you're the dominant," Thiemo went on, "then it would follow that Nari is the submissive, right?"
