"Oww! I can't move a muscle!"
The morning after learning to perceive mana, I awoke to find the silver-haired, tanned beauty once again curled against me on the feather bed.
Under normal circumstances, waking up with Lira nuzzling into my chest would have been a blessing. But today, every little movement she made sent a ripple of pain through my body. It wasn't just soreness, it was like every muscle had been torn, every nerve humming with too much energy.
"Lira! Lira! Please, get off me!"
"Huh? … Oh!" Her golden eyes widened and she practically vaulted off the bed. "I completely forgot about the backlash! When you first perceive your aura as an adult, the strain is brutal. Are you in a lot of pain?"
"Yeah! And worse than that, I can barely move."
She bit her lip, then sighed. "You'll need to rest all day. Normally, children discover their mana young, and the pain is just a mild ache. But for an adult, the backlash hits like a hammer."
Now that she wasn't pressing against me anymore, the stabbing pain dulled, but the stiffness lingered. It felt like my body wasn't quite my own.
"So basically, I'm stuck here. Is there anything I can do to relieve the pain?"
"Yes," she said quickly, her voice softening. "Luckily for you, you have a dark elf partner who adores you. We can use mana resonance. It'll ease the pain for about an hour, enough for you to eat, wash, and stretch before you collapse back into bed."
Before I could protest, she pulled the covers down, exposing my almost bare body to the mild air. I'd only slept in my underclothes, but modesty seemed pointless at this stage.
She placed her hands lightly against my chest. "I'm going to channel mana into you while I massage your muscles. That should help dull the backlash."
Her palms glowed faintly as she traced them across my skin. The warmth that spread from her touch wasn't ordinary; it sank deeper than muscle, into bone and blood, chasing away the ache. I exhaled a breath I didn't realize I'd been holding.
"That… feels incredible," I admitted.
She blushed but didn't stop. "I can tell you've lived a hard-working life. Farming, ruins, struggle… your body is sturdy, Max. Lean, but strong. Touching it....it's nice."
I reached out with my barely functioning hand and stroked her thighs lightly with the tips of my fingers as she continued the massage. She smiled slightly and blushed more deeply.
Her fingers moved with care, sliding over each tense muscle. The warmth of her mana sank in like sunlight through frost. Thirty minutes passed in a haze of heat and relief until I felt well enough to sit up without groaning.
"Better?" she asked, tilting her head.
"Much."
"Good." She leaned forward and planted a tender kiss on my forehead, then she withdrew her hands, though a faint redness lingered on her cheeks. "Stay put. I'll fetch us food."
While she was gone, I washed and dried myself as best I could, though my limbs still felt heavy. By the time she returned, I was nearly finished, and caught her golden eyes lingering on me longer than necessary.
"Back to bed," she ordered, thrusting the tray into my hands. "You need to recover if we're going to set out tomorrow."
I obeyed, sliding under the covers. She sat beside me, her hip pressed to mine, and spoon-fed me warm porridge. Between bites, her fingers would brush my cheek or thread briefly through my hair. Her intimate touch was oddly soothing, like she wanted me to be her patient as much as her assistant.
When the bowl was empty, she pushed it aside and lay down next to me, crowding into the small space on the bed. "Max, close your eyes. Rest."
I did as she asked,
Her breath tickled my ear as she leaned in close. "Relax… let me help you drift off."
Then she nipped gently at my earlobe.
I shivered, a groan escaping before I could stop it. Pleasure and comfort blended, confusing my senses. She smiled at the sound, trailing her hand across my chest in slow, calming circles.
"You like that," she whispered, pressing a quick kiss to my jaw before trailing soft pecks toward my lips. "Good. Let me take care of you today, to make up for not warning you about the pain afterwards."
Her golden eyes were hazy, filled with a mischievous light, and her cheeks were flushed deep red.
When I tilted my head to meet her halfway, she closed the distance eagerly. Her lips brushed mine, tentative at first, then deeper, hungrier, until our breaths mingled and I forgot about the stiffness in my body.
Within moments, our tongues were intertwined, fighting for control and position, our lust fueling the mouth fight happening at that moment.
Lira's hands immediately found their way to my crotch, and she began to stroke me through my underwear. The movements of her slender fingers sent jolts of pleasure up my spine every time she passed her fingers over the head of my member.
"Yeah! Lira, that feels great!"
"Just relax, baby, I'll help you relax and sleep well!"
Baby! I guess I can't complain about that.
She continued to greedily kiss me, while at the same time freeing my 8 inch-cock from its cloth prison.
She ran her hands all along it, feeling its size and memorizing its shape. "It's even bigger than I expected!"
She began to stroke it up and down, alternating between light touches with her nails and full strokes with a closed palm.
Pre-cum quickly started leaking out as she continued to pump, adding to the already incredible sensation.
Schlick! Schlick! Schlick!
The lewd sounds of her pumping my rod with her hands while she explored my mouth using her tongue made it difficult to contain myself.
"Awnnn! Lira that feels great! Keep going!"
Schlick! Schlick! Schlick!
She continued to milk me, obviously aiming to extract every drop I had for her. "Let it all out, baby. Don't hold back!"
"Awnnn Lira! I'm coming .... urgggghhhhh!" Unable to hold back anymore, I released my seed all over her beautiful, tanned skin and my own stomach.
Even after I released it, she continued to kiss me and pump my cock, squeezing out every last drop of man milk I had for her.
"Good job, baby! Now, just relax and go back to sleep. I will give you another mana massage after you have rested some more."
She kissed me again, and I drifted off to sleep with her still snuggling up to me and stroking my cock.
I woke up two more times for her to use her mana to relieve the pain. And each time I did, she gave me another wonderful handjob to help me drift off again after.
I'll return the favour properly when I dont feel so stiff.
