"Just a little more, sweetness, you're almost there. Come on, let go, be mine, be ours." Zucker pleaded for Clara to come, for us both to give into his relentless fucking and explode.
What he didn't understand was that as tightly wound together as we all were, we couldn't come until he too let go. Only for him would I have broken my kiss with Clara. For him, I did, promising to taste her cries many more times in the future.
I caught Zucker's eyes with mine and though I was breathing hard, and could barely catch a breath to speak, I found the words he needed, finally able to say them and truly mean them. "I love you, Zucker Pflaume-Fee. I belong to you, in this circle of spirit and magic with our one true bonded mate. Let go and give yourself to us in return."
He knew the words before I even said them, and Clara echoed them in our minds. The first tight chord of her orgasm burst and Zucker followed her, letting himself love and be loved in return. His hot seed spilled into her first, and my cock and balls tightened, and I shot into her too.
When Zucker slowed, then stilled his thrusts, I slowly continued, mixing our essence inside of her our princess, and pushing it deep, hoping for new life. Even though it was unlikely until she was bonded with us all, I wanted her womb filled with both me and Zucker.
The three of us didn't move for a long time. We panted, and let our hearts race, slowing in their own time, still locked together in body and spirit. Zucker gave out a long exhale and then palmed the back of Clara's neck just as he had to me a million times. "I didn't know what love was until I was in your minds. I am not worthy, but I will strive to be every day."
She kissed me softly on the side of the mouth and we all felt it. Then she whispered. "You are worthy of love. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. I spent a lifetime letting others make me feel less than, and you've helped me understand that love doesn't work that way."
Zucker and I slid out of her body, and we reveled in the magical afterglow. Unlike before Clara's mind and body hummed in a new way. Instead of the slow fade like before, she closed her eyes and pulled her magic and spirit back into herself but leaving us with a piece of our spirits filled in with a part of hers.
The bond with both of us was now complete, and her magic could use and amplify our gifts. In two short days she was the most powerful magician in the Winter Realm. She had yet to find the Snowflake crown and consummate her bond with Nuss, so there was more power ready and waiting for her to yield.
She stood and gave Zucker the same kiss and then looked out across the grotto. "All five of you are worthy of my love."
But there were only four of us.
Until Konig walked into the grotto.
I’VE GOT YOU, UNDER MY SPELL
CLARA
When I lived in the human world, I don't think I ever truly knew what it felt like to be loved. So much of society told me that because of what I looked like, I wasn't worthy of romantic love.
Oh, I fell in love at the drop of a snowflake. There was always some boy at school, the guy who worked at the bookshop, some friend of my brothers. I didn't know how to not be in love. School girl crushes that ruled my every emotion.
As the years passed and my friends and the other girls I went to school and dance classes with found boyfriends and I didn't, the fearful realization sank in and entrenched itself. I would never get to experience for myself the rush of joy they so clearly felt when they were with their beloveds.
I didn't understand then the difference between unrequited love and the real thing. Because being loved in return was... magic.
I didn't understand that I couldn't find the right one for me because I wasn't in the right world.
I really didn't understand was that I wasn't destined to love and be loved by just one man - another tenant of the broken human society that told me I was wrong. Why did that world have to make love finite when it was so much grander?
Standing here in this special place where love was set to grow, I once again embraced my mission to show the Winter Realm how to love again. I was learning lessons in how to do it myself, but I was confident that once I'd fallen in love with and bonded with each of my true loves, that I could share that with the rest of the people here.
War and hate had no place in such a beautiful land.
I could help end that.
And I was going to start right now.
Consummating my bond with Zucker and Tau was so perfect and beautiful because not only did they love me, they loved each other. Their natural gifts of sensuality and empathy burst to life for all three of us, connected by my magic, and I couldn't have asked for a better present.
I could hardly wait until I got to join with all of them at the same time. Each were so important to me in their own ways, but together we would be unstoppable. If any troop were to make this world ready for the return of the Vivandiere and the defeat of the Mouse Queen, it would be the six of us.
Yes. Six.
Leb gave me the courage to be a fierce warrior like him.
Tau helped me connect to my own buried fears and emotions and see that being together was better than isolation.
Zucker showed me that the only thing keeping me from being a strong, sexual woman was my own lack of self-confidence.
