Bella’s fantasy

"Nnnn… Ohhh… Yes Kael, harder Kael… Right there Kael."

"Big sister, every time you talk you move a little you know."

"Sorry, your hands just feel so good."

Bella is lying facedown on a bed. The right side of her head is lying on her crossed arms. Her red wavy hair trails down the shoulder opposite to the direction she is facing leaving her back clear. Her torso is naked except for a black lace bra. A white towel covers her butt and thighs.

Kael is kneeling with his legs off to the sides of her back. He is wearing a loose black short-sleeved shirt and long pants.

His gaze is on Bella's back, eyes unblinking. His hands that glide over her back are lightly coated with a floral-scented oil. Sometimes his hands would pause over a spot on her back and maintain pressure for a while before releasing the tension.

Every motion Kael makes is firm but methodical. His upper body rocks back and forth a little with every push and pull.

Bella's gaze seems to be focused off to the side of the bed towards the door. However, she frequently shifts her gaze to look at Kael.

Bella's heart beats a little faster whenever she sees Kael's face full of focus on her. The gaze is intense, treating her as the only thing in the world. Her eyes trail across Kael's face to his upper body.

Kael has always been attractive since he was little, but now he has an added masculinity to him that Bella is drawn to. Kael's face frequently appears in her dreams and she does not think she is the only woman in town with such fantasies.

Bella might have acted on her impulses earlier if it weren't for Melinda. Despite all the desire she had for Kael, she had much more respect and gratefulness for Melinda.

Melinda helped her maintain a safer and more respectful lifestyle than when she was a street prostitute. She did all this without asking for anything in return.

The only thing Melinda ever demanded of the ladies of the Siren's Call was to preserve Kael's innocence and not mention anything about their line of work. Everyone in the brothel obeyed this. After all, it was a request from their savior and Kael was like a relative to them anyway.

While Kael's torso is covered by his loose shirt, Bella could still admire his toned arms. He is not musclebound but his body is well defined from his training in the forest. The power behind his arms is evident to her.

Bella closes her eyes and fantasies of Kael fondling her pass through her mind. She bites her lower lip and her thighs press together.

In her mind, Kael flips her over and starts massaging her breasts. His palms move in a circular motion to help relax her before his fingers start digging into her mounds. Kael makes sure to intermittently pinch and rub her nipples which gives her a jolt of pleasure.

Bella starts to feel a little hot and she lets out hot rough breaths. She fidgets her butt to the left and right. Kael seems to notice her movement before letting out a tsk. He stops his massage and Bella looks wide-eyed up at him. She feels a sense of loss with the absence of his touch.

Then Kael lifts her and places her over his lap with her ass facing up. He leans his head next to her ear and whispers, "Bad girls who can't sit still need to be punished." His right arm raises with a slight pause before coming down and smacking her round ass.

Kael continues to spank Bella over and over. At the end of each hit, Kael makes sure to palm and squeeze her ass a little to massage it. Each spank gives Bella a slight sense of pain before a wave of pleasure emanates from her ass. The gentle caress after each hit warms her lower body up.

"What a fat juicy ass you have, big sister." Bella closes her eyes and bites her lips a little harder to hold back her moans. "Big sister, don't you think this ass needs some more punishment?" Bella is too engrossed in the moment to respond.

"Well big sister? Big sister? Big sister, can you hear me?"

"Yeeess, punish me more Kael."

"Big sister, what are you talking about? Punish you for what?"

Bella opens her eyes. She is still lying on the bed facing the door. Kael's face is right in front of hers. His head is tilted a little and his eyes look at her a little wide with confusion.

She realizes that she was stuck in her daydream and Kael had already finished the massage. She sits up on the edge of the bed with haste, making sure to wrap the towel around her lower body. Her face is flushed with embarrassment and a little leftover lust.

"I'm sorry Kael, I must have fallen asleep from relaxation."

Kael straightens his head and lets out a gentle smile. "It's okay big sister. I'm glad I could help you relax. You said my name while you were asleep. Were you dreaming about me?"

"Uhh, yeah," Bella manages to stammer out. "I was umm… dreaming of you scolding me while trying to teach me to cook!" she exclaims out at the end trying to firmly affirm her lie as the truth.

"Oh, sounds like a fun dream." Kael can tell Bella is hiding something but is unsure of what it is. He decides in his mind that her dream is about the two of them teasing each other in the kitchen.

He is reminded of when he used to tease Bella by calling her Auntie. Ever since the day he nearly died, he stopped calling her Auntie as part of his decision to become more responsible.

"Yup, definitely a fun dream." Bella finally lets out a genuine smile after being flustered for so long. "Thanks for the massage, Kael."

"No problem Auntie."

After the day Kael massaged Lara, she regularly asked him for a back massage back at home. One day, Bella discovered that Kael was massaging Lara's back. She then asked, although others might say demanded, that Kael give her a massage too.

Eventually, the other women in the house found out about Kael's massaging prowess. Since then, everyone but Melinda, Emi, and Thea all regularly get massaged by Kael.

"You know Kael, my front could use some massaging too. What do you think about that?" Bella says in a sultry manner while pushing out her chest to try and catch Kael's attention.

"Big sister, you should remember that mother said I should only massage you guys on the back for your sore shoulders," Kael replies. His expression is a little teasing and his gaze on Bella's face does not waver despite the obvious temptation below.

Bella pouts a little and mutters, "It's not like you would do anything besides a massage anyway."

For the past year, Bella has been trying to attract Kael's attention sexually. Teasing him by 'accidentally' showing off her womanly charms and talking to him more sensually.

She would not overtly come onto Kael to avoid disrespecting Melinda's wishes, however, if Kael happened to come onto her first, then what follows would be out of her control.

Despite her efforts, she recently started worrying about if he was even attracted to her. He seemed indifferent to her attempts despite being a young man at the onset of his youth.

This behavior is not entirely unsurprising. Melinda's influence censored any possible discussion the women could have had with Kael about their work and Melinda herself had yet to educate him.

Kael also didn't have any male friends to discuss within the town. The only person who could talk to him about sex would have been Emi. However, there was no way Emi would have broached the subject with him. Thus Kael remained largely ignorant about the subject.

However, Kael's ignorance could not completely account for his chaste behavior. Strangely, Kael himself never experienced any of the impulses of a young man.

Bella lets out a sigh at another failed attempt. She composes her face before asking, "Are you heading to the church then?"

"Yeah, I hope everything goes well this time." Kael looks a little melancholy as he says this. He had gone to the church every year to awaken only for it to fail every time.

Bella's expression turns sympathetic as she rubs his shoulder. "You don't have to feel too bad, Kael. You have an expert like your mother to train you after you awaken. If you remain as diligent as you were when you trained in the woods you should be fine."

"I know, big sister. I'm just feeling a little beaten down at all my failures."

Bella is quick to speak up. "You can't count it as a failure at all! Awakening is something decided by nature. It isn't something that requires effort to succeed. If it did, I guarantee you would have awakened way sooner than anyone in town. A task that requires no effort can't possibly be considered a real failure. So you don't have to let it bring you down."

Kael's expression turns a little better at Bella's encouragement. He gives her a bright smile and says, "Thank you." He pulls her into his arms and gives her a big hug.

"You're welcome." Bella has a satisfied smile on her face as she enjoys Kael's embrace. She makes sure to sneak a whiff of his scent while doing so.

They separate a few moments later. "I'll be heading out now."

"I know you'll do great. I'm going to head to bed now. Good night."

"Good night, big sister."

Kael leaves Bella's room and walks down the hall. When he approaches the top of the stairs, he pauses by a room on his left. He opens the door revealing the pink bed of Emi's room. The bed is empty and the room is dark.

Emi had left the house nearly five years ago. After the incident when they were 8, Emi had awakened an electric affinity. She asked Kael's mother, Melinda, to train her. She worked just as hard as Kael if not harder.

Her training involved studying books Melinda had on mana core growth and manipulation and meditating to strengthen her mana core. The more difficult part of her training came every time a storm passed through.

The beginning of cultivating mana began with strengthening the body with the mana energy of your affinity. This could be done by using mana crystals or inundating yourself in a place saturated with the mana of your affinity. For example, a person with a water affinity would meditate underwater.

Unfortunately, Emi did not have the resources to obtain electric mana crystals. Her only option available to interact with electric mana was to be struck by bolts of lightning.

Of course, Emi would likely die if she were directly struck by lightning. Her body was untempered so it was hardly different from the average person. To help, Melinda gave Emi a lightning rod that would take the primary force of the lightning. A spool of conductive thread was attached to the lightning rod.

All Emi would have to do is hold onto the thread. She would then sense and pull some of the energy into her body. The process was extremely dangerous and could have resulted in great bodily harm if she took in too much energy. However, if she took in too little the tempering effects would not be apparent.

Despite the risk, Emi was undaunted. The first time Emi was struck, her body was wracked with great pain and she almost passed out due to the volatile nature of the mana. Only her convictions helped her power through the pain. She told herself that the pain Kael experienced that day was worse than what she felt. That the pain of losing Kael would be even worse.

She would repeat this process every opportunity she could. It took her three years to finish her training. After she finished, Melinda told her that if she wanted to get stronger she would have to move on from their small town and study in the capital.

While Emi did want to become stronger, her convictions wavered when she realized she would be separated from Kael. In the end, it was Kael who convinced her to go. They had their final conversation sitting on the bed in Emi's room.

"You should go, Emi. There's no reason for you to be held back just because you are waiting for me. I'll catch up to you soon," Kael told her while holding her hand with both of his. He slightly rubbed the back of her hand to reassure her.

Emi's eyes were wet with tears she tried to hold back. "Promise me?" I won't forgive you if I have to come back and drag you with me."

Kael chuckled a little before he replied, "I promise."

Kael's eyes itch a little and he feels wistful as he remembers the conversation he had with her. He tightly grips his fists a little before he closes the door and heads down the stairs.

Kael enters the dining room when he gets downstairs and sees Melinda talking with Cheryl at the table. Melinda has on her signature loose black dress, while Cheryl has on a dark blue nightgown. Both of them have a cup of steaming water in front of them. Melinda turns to Kael as he enters and asks, "Did you finish everything already, Kael?"

"Yeah, I'm ready to go now."

"I'll leave you two then," Cheryl says as she gets up with a smile on her face.

"Good night, Auntie Cheryl."

"Good night to you too, Kael. Good luck at your awakening," Cheryl says as she affectionately rubs his shoulder a bit. Her hand lingers a little as she remarks how much Kael has grown over the years.

She remembers how she used to have to bend down to pat him on the head, but now she has to tilt her head up a little to look at his face. Cheryl then heads upstairs to head to bed.

Melinda gets up from her seat and stretches a little before heading over to Kael. "Time to go now." She holds out her left hand for him to grab. Kael grabs her hand and they walk side by side out the front door of the house.
