Ars Paulina

[Apollymi]

Solomon continued to share words with Ai and she accepted them in spite of their current level of entanglement. Perhaps this was an oddity of the way she thought or perhaps being able to think about such things during coitus was simply an aspect which made her compatible for this man. His words to her regarding how to be herself and how to avoid potential future problems made sense, there was even a way to summarize the information. "So... one bad apple spoils the bunch? I can work with that..." she said seeming to understand. By the logic she currently carried so long as she didn't try to step too far outside of her own person, she'd not have to worry about much when creating the versions of herself that would interact with the world. This ws something she could live with and as such she'd do her part to continue towards true understanding.

There was something however she was coming to understand with her body and that was the power of sex. She and her entire friend group had been told about sex in more direct terms from their friend most likely to use herself as an experiment. And what they'd gotten as results didn't make it seem like something that would be nearly as fully enjoyable as she was finding this to be. Though they did have another friend who described the pinnacle of self-love to them, this was a cooperative effort which made her more invested. Those gentle twisting motions along Solomon's shaft, left her feeling pulses within the tool itself. And of course, this echoed within her form taking on the sensation of a heartbeat like quality which would have left her squirming and definitely left her panting her content. Solomon claimed that humans brought something interesting to the table, and in truth Ai was happy to bring anything to such a meeting. Under most circumstances she wouldn't have assumed she was capable of gaining such a reaction. "Hm? You can offer me something... I mean I'll take it, even though I have no idea what it is yet~" she said happily. She had no idea what he thought she'd be coming up with, but those movements of her hands only shifted just a bit. One was gently twisting and the other was moving up and down atop it and even flickering over the tip just a bit before the downward strokes.

[Bloodedge]

"It's possible, at the very least. I don't mean to imply that it's a certainty, but do avoid traveling too far from your own core," Solomon instructed further. Even something as simple as a moment could be turned into a full version of oneself. He'd even seen those who sought versions of themselves that they simply wished to be; that was also acceptable. Outright lies to one's own soul, however, were not.

Between the two, there was a harmony reached. The passage of time resulted in a more harmonized transfer from one end to another. The more Solomon adjusted to Ai's continuously evolving technique, the more his mana pulsed in response. In only a short amount of time, there was a wave entering Ai's body each time one of her hands traveled up his shaft. As she brushed over the tip of his tool, there was even a series of low pulses sent her way. Such was the way of mana transfers in more intimate settings; when one acted, the other responded without thought. At the current rate, Ai would soon be receiving a response of a different caliber... but not quite yet. Besides, while she accepted an additional offering of pleasantries, she claimed to have no idea what it would be. That made two of them. "Neither do I, but it seems the window of time is closing more rapidly than I expected. If you have a decision, now would be a good time for it~"

[Apollymi]

Be true to herself. This was the message Solomon was conveying. The ideology that one could be multiple people was likely one which had a semi-negative effect on some. Trying to be something you aren't is a bit 'middle school' as an ideology but most humans got over such things eventually. She could deal with many things and not really have it make much of a difference to how she lived. "Hai, I understand..." she murmured, seeming to have internalized something from her conversation with Solomon which she thought encompassed his meaning wholly.

What else would there be? A certain harmony was reached between the pair, as Ai felt corresponding vibrations within her loins connected to the pulses in Solomon's tool. If nothing else she could see that sex in this magical world didn't have to leave her wanting, well aside from what was natural. Even a series of low pulses which happened with the flickering of her fingertips made her breathless but did not displease her in the slightest. Oh right, she was supposed to be thinking of something she wanted, what else could she want... well there was a certain sensation she was close to, so perhaps she could nudge that along. "Hm, one of those little suction simulators might be pretty fun. And have you tried out these sorts of things... like one of those rings with the little vibrator in it... you might be surprised at how they could work out for you. Though if you're pretty close I could just..." she mused. While she wasn't the one using such things, she figured he may not have thought to use them on himself. Whatever the case, her own hands had with that thought, taken on a slightly different function. The one which closed around his base had taken to gently tightening with the pulses it presented seeming as if it wished to control his future spurt. All the while her other hand seemed to be moving in those gentle twisting movements in a consistent range, up and down. Whether those toys she thought of found their way into this endeavor or not, she could easily be satisfied with the way this one worked out.

[Bloodedge]

As Solomon was concerned, there wasn't much time left in this little undertaking of theirs. Ai was making rather quick work of him with the frequency of changing technique she adapted. Even so, she did manage to produce a suggestion or two before bringing about his end. The blonde lass spoke of some 'suction' stimulator. Solomon knew of a few things that could apply to. "I'm not sure which you mean. Though... I suppose it doesn't matter if I'm sure," he said. With that, Solomon produced another strand of mana, this one stemming from his thumb and forming a cup over the girl's womanhood. Ah, but his lack of surety meant there would be another thing that focused on suction. A third tool manifested itself, taking the form of two larger suction cups that affixed themselves to Ai's breasts. Surely she'd have no issue with losing a bit of her own mana, he figured.

Ai did mention another thing ─ some sort of ring. Solomon could assume the meaning of that one, considering her mention of his encroaching end. It didn't seem he'd be needing that, though. No, Ai decided that one of her hands would take the place of a ring via a firmer grip. All that buildup came to a quick halt, even while her other hand felt more pleasant gliding up and down his length. "Ah? It seems like you've taken over the purpose of that ring, unless I was mistaken about your meaning. I assumed you meant to delay me?" he wondered. Meanwhile, those two new Artifacts were beginning to serve their purpose ─ both applying a gentle, yet building suction to the girl's loins and breasts.

[Apollymi]

It would seem that Ai was a bit less clear with her meaning than she might have intended to be. She could have blamed a lot of things, but her mind did wander from time to time so it was no matter of great concern. "I suppose I wasn't very clear... but I wasn't entirely sure either," she murmured, given that three such suction devices appeared on her person she could do nothing but moan her content. She fully acknowledged the sensitivity of her sex after her earlier orgasm at Solomon's hands. The sensation that would now applied to her breasts was just another layer of delight. Maybe it was a bit closer to excessive than was necessary but... "To be fair, leaving a bit up to the imagination of you in this case was the right choice~" she moaned at the end. A building pressure within her loins was becoming more of a constant pulse. Now that she recognized it for what it was, she knew it would only be a matter of time.

It would seem Ai had done a bit of active experimentation. She'd mentioned the ring, but after clasping her hand just a bit tighter she was somewhat surprised to find that it did exactly what she thought it might and more so than that, she was amused by Solomon's reaction. He asked about the ring, given that she'd managed to slow him a bit with her own actions. "Well, the ring could be something later, but... while I can do this with my hands... I'd rather get the feel of it~" she said in a manner almost teasingly. Perhaps she was a little bit scamp-y? Just the same she loosened her grip at the base and began twisting gently again as she began a more purposeful rise and lower of her hand just as the sensations of her 'toys' began to work sending new and building sensations through her body which made her loins ache as she approached climax again.

[Bloodedge]

Indeed, Ai wasn't very clear at all about what she meant... at least not specifically. She did manage well enough to create some mental imagery, but humans had so many ideas, there could hardly be just one. Luckily, Solomon had no issue with executing multiple ideas at once. In Ai's apparent opinion, that was the right choice. Maybe he'd never know which tool she meant specifically. Maybe, at the end of the day, it didn't matter at all. Maybe 'both' was the secret third option that invalidated the two before it. "A path well-traveled, then. Good."

Solomon knew what sort of ring the girl was referencing, but it made no difference. If he chose to make use of something like that, he would already be incapable of ejaculation simply because he decided to abstain. If Ai herself developed the ability to apply such things, however... that would be a different story entirely. "I'm afraid putting something like that on myself would do me no good, for reasons I'll explain later," he said for the moment. Either way, Ai's efforts alone were more than sufficient on his end. With only one hand's proper grip, she kept him going long enough to experiment a bit more. Ah, but all things had to end. That grip ended, and so would Solomon within a matter of moments.

Swelling occurred with shocking rapidity as Solomon's magical tools all functioned in sequence, each one acting just after its predecessor reached a peak. All the while, the more focused activity of Ai's hand left Solomon breathing more heavily until... "Prepare yourself," he warned. Of course, a warning was something Solomon deemed necessary. With human expectancies being what they were, he understood that Ai had little reason to foresee the hose-like spray of fluid that would nigh immediately spew from his member. Whatever 'splash' residents of Gaia expected was sure to be more of an outpour in this, and many other cases. Solomon hadn't warned the lass of that detail. Perhaps he should have, for better or worse... but it would make an interesting show regardless, he thought.

[Apollymi]

A path well-traveled. Yes, that was an apt enough description of how Ai saw their current connection. She'd not been sure, but after having three of those suction devices applied to her person she was far from being upset. If nothing else, leaving people with a bit of choice tended to be interesting. She understood such as a writer and as the caretaker of an individual. Sometimes specific instructions would cloud the understanding of others, and sometimes, it was worth it to leave a bit to imagination. Ah, but there was more to understand than just that, as her own body approached climax once more Solomon seemed to have information to share for later. "Hm, okay then... I await the explanation~" she said. It was always curious to hear things like that, but perhaps there was something missing in her understanding of his current physiology. That would make sense after all.

What wouldn't make sense however, was how much more rapidly their current encounter would come to an end. She was near throbbing herself from applied suction to her loins and chest as well as that internal vibration. Such would only continue as Solomon gave a bit of warning. "Hai hai," she murmured. Of course, it was perfectly normal to warn someone of their approaching end. Perhaps she should have thought more about why Solomon thought to do so but she didn't. She also didn't change the movements of her hands at all, and allowed herself to fall fully into the sensation of her loins as exhaled her content at her current orgasm and all the extra fluids that leaked gently from between her legs and her breasts. At the same time, Solomon exploded in an almost literal fashion. There was her initial satisfaction and then shock and confusion. She'd expected to be splashed a bit but she'd been showered. In fact, some had landed on her face and mouth on her chest, her entire form as it was draped over his thigh had touches of his explusion upon it. "Eh?! How is that possible?" she found herself questioning sitting up just a bit. It seemed ridiculous to have this much fluid on ones body and more than that... she seemed to be a bit concerned. Also, there was the taste of apple butter in her mouth as she closed. it. She found herself licking her lips and then her finger tips. How strange. She had several expectations of normalcy and they were being shattered. She remembered a conversation with Kaguya which implied that post ejacluation she would have quite a strange time, but the taste and smell of this was far different perhaps she should expect different results.

[Bloodedge]

In the final moments of an incredible buildup, Solomon exhaled more deeply than he had in a very long time. Humans really had an incredible approach to things. Surely he could have gone out into Alaya and bedded a billion women of a hundred races, never to achieve the same satisfaction he had from a single pair of hands. Ah, but there was an issue... or could it be called such? His expulsion was far too great for human comprehension. Ai's face and body alike were coated in his essence, much to the girl's surprise. She even questioned the possibility aloud, though she also went about licking the mana from her lips and fingers.

"Hm? That doesn't seem like such a troubled reaction after all, seeing you taste it. I understand why this sort of thing is considered so very erotic now," he admitted, brazenly staring as Ai lapped at his fluids. Regardless, he did owe her an explanation. "Mana and satisfaction. Those things come together to create quantity in the magical world. Look here," the man added. With that, he showed the end of those tubes linked to Ai's breasts. At said end, there was a large collection of milk taken directly from the source. He'd definitely be partaking of that later, but that was neither here nor there. "I'd say that's just about a liter already. For a nursing human woman on Gaia, that's about a day and a half of constant production. You don't mind if I keep it, right?" Solomon asked at random. He fully intended to store the girl's milk for his later consumption, but for the moment, he had to catch his breath and banished those Artifacts... while taking the time to have a bit of fun at Ai's expense. "Ah, what an interesting day! You surprise me, Hayasaka Ai. You seemed so interested in the idea of having sex, most would assume you didn't want to end things at foreplay."

[Apollymi]

Ai found herself licking her finger tips and hands only to have it pointed out to her by Solomon. She looked towards him staring rather brazenly at her and had the grace to blush though she still kept up what she was doing as it was rather delicious. "It... ah... isn't a problem. I wasn't trying to be erotic or anything, but I am admittedly the type of person who eats apple butter out of a jar with a spoon..." she murmured seeming a bit sheepish. Still, if he found the show erotic then it wasn't a negative and that was how she'd rationalize her continued behavior. Little did she understand the nature of her body as though she was human it seemed she was still trying to claim the mana which had spilled on her person through her pores, though at a much slower rate.

According to Solomon the reason for the quantity of fluids spilled was satisfaction and his own mana quality. That made sense in the context of being a magical world and apparently there was even a further example. Those suction cups which had been attached to her person had collected a great deal of fluid from her which was more than a human woman could have fed a baby in a single day. "Sou ka... that is reasonable in context," she mentioned having cleared off her hands she seemed somewhat satisfied though she'd still be found absently dragging the almost confectionary quality of mana into her mouth. As for what had spilled from her person she looked embarrassed but had nothing real to say about it. "You can keep it. I don't mind... though I have a weird curiosity about what you plan to do with it... I don't think my brain can currently handle the answer," she mused as she casually drug a finger across her tongue from the side of her mouth.

Mana contraptions disappeared for the moment and Solomon seemed to be sated. Admittedly Ai wasn't dissatisfied at all with this kind of instance as a first of such endeavors for her, even if it wasn't 'sex' in the traditional sense. Solomon thought to bring this up in a way which hit Ai's ears as a bit teasing. Her bright blue eyes turned towards him as she tried to explain herself. "Well, I was... or rather I am still really interested in it..." she said softly. "Still, I am not dissatisfied by what has already happened... and I think it has been a worthwhile experience even before anything like that can happen," she said honestly, with a decent bit of innocence accompanying that sincerity. She'd still like to have sex with Solomon but she wasn't exactly going to rush a man who'd just spilled way more of himself than she thought humanly possible. Besides all of that... she'd been pleased by what had happened already and as such she could find a bit more patience than her earlier urgency had implied. Though admittedly she could definitely go for more if he was ready or willing to provide it.

[Bloodedge]

Ai wasn't trying to be erotic, by her own declaration. He could believe that, but the facts wouldn't be changed. Actually, it may have been made erotic by the fact that it wasn't a conscious attempt. That was always possible. Alas, Solomon wasn't here to question his human side; he was here to make use of it. He'd later address all sides using that storage of milk from Ai's original form... but it seemed she wasn't prepared to hear aloud what his intentions with it were. "I'm sure you already have the answer, but as you wish. I'll keep it," he accepted. That milk was going to be quite the valuable treasure down the line.

Solomon took great interest in the workings of Ai's mind. Teasing may have been a bit deviant, but it would give him much insight. What would her response be? Well, Ai first seemed willing to continue her consumption of mana. She was even beginning to absorb it into her skin, which was either a testament to their compatibility, or one to her capacity for creation. Strange ─ one normally didn't have such ability while being such an obvious 'giver' of mana. What an interesting partner Solomon managed to find. Whatever the case, Ai had no dissatisfaction to share while thinking he was out of commission. Lucky her; she'd have something to be satisfied by soon enough. "That's a refreshing belief. Well, hypothetically speaking, if we could proceed immediately... how would you like to begin?"

[Apollymi]

Solomon was certain that Ai understood his plans with her expelled mana, and he was right. Even so, she found it odd that one would admit to simply enjoying consuming the bodily fluids of others, even if she knew for a fact they tasted good. Besides all of that, it was also quite embarrassing for her to realize she was something the man considered tasty enough to drink outside of their current situation. "Hai," she managed a bit red in the face. She didn't expect to be completely embarrassed so many times within this man's presence, but perhaps that was her own fault. She had appeared before him in her underwear to think that might have been the most of it would have been a bit of an exercise in understatements.

Moving on, it seemed that Ai being fine with their current break was something Solomon found pleasing or refreshing in this case. She had mostly cleared off her face and hands and strangely found that her body had absorbed quite a bit of the mana spilled on it. Such she processed about being in a mostly magical world currently. As for her thoughts on sex and how she would have liked to progress she didn't have to give it much thought to answer. "Hypothetically? I had thought to have one of those really romantic interactions. Like very high intimacy missionary but maybe with alterations as time went on... I do like the idea of that sort of thing, I think it suits my general tastes," she said thoughtfully. In truth she could easily commit to something like that while she welcomed Solomon into herself, it didn't have to happen immediately but that was the type of thing she would have wanted out of sex.

[Bloodedge]

Solomon wondered how Ai's fantasies manifested in this particular case. It seemed she had a thing for intimate flair, as her answer to his very 'hypothetical' question was a romantic one. She spoke of a very ordinary position, perhaps the most ordinary of all. Ah, but she wished for it in a very specific way. Solomon took special note of Ai's visage while she spoke. He noted how easily she absorbed his mana, and he wondered as a result how easy her transition would actually be. It would certainly be worth seeing, if nothing else.

Another thing that would be interesting to witness, would probably be the girl's reaction in a matter of moments. She spoke an idea that suited her general taste, and Solomon decided to acquiesce. He took the blonde by her midsection and rolled, taking her along for the proverbial ride. Ai would find herself beneath the male once again as he loomed closely over her body. "That's a wonderful wish, I must say. I'd love to grant it," Solomon stated. He was close enough to Ai's face to limit visibility, but his tool was notably still firm enough to be pressed against her womanhood already. He could begin the process of insertion at the drop of a hat. In fact, the first minor push was already in process. His tip was planted between Ai's folds, the first spread beginning as he smiled down into the lass's face. "I did say mana was everything, didn't I? As long as one has mana remaining, one doesn't need to stop."

[Apollymi]

Intimate flair? Yes, that did seem to be very truthful of Ai. Intimacy was something she enjoyed, something she wrote about and something she thought many people would enjoy if they fully reconciled it with their current lives. As such she found herself having an intense but blushing moment when she explained to Solomon the kind of thing she would have been looking for in her hypothetical sexual encounter. Strangely, Solomon would be taking hold of her waist and rolling her over.

She'd find her body beneath his as he spoke on her 'wish'. He claimed he'd like to grant that wish of hers. She found herself smiling about it, and having been repositioned she had the idea that he might have been trying to provide the intimacy she was looking for even while they weren't currently engaged in sexual activity. "Sou ka, I'm sure I'd like that..." she said of Solomon granting her wish. Of course, her line of thought would be distracted as she couldn't see all the way down his body but her eyes were busy moving around his face and taking in all that hair. He was quite interesting to look at and still interested in sex with her. 'I wonder if this counts as winning. I thought most guys wouldn't be so into the truly romantic type stuff...' she thought given her own research into the subject and what she'd seen of others.

Ah but she wouldn't be given long to think on that either as the press of Solomon's very solid tool against her folds made her eyes widen immediately. She seemed to be shocked as she tried to question it. "Ah..." she didn't even get the question out fully before an answer was being provided by Solomon. Mana was everything and as long as he had it to give he could always be ready. Which means, he let her believe there was possibly an intermission or break so he could get more information out of her. "Oh? You let me think nothing else was gonna happen for a while on purpose," she mused looking at him, he'd let her own upbringing mislead her on purpose. She found herself playfully slapping a hand against his chest, while having the grace to have the red tint of embarrassment travelling across her skin. "Has anyone ever told you, you're kind of a tease, Solomon?" she asked the man as those hands of hers easily started moving upwards to settle against his shoulders. She made room for him between her legs leaving him close on either side of her and felt that first little push against her sex while reminding herself that she definitely wanted this, though there was no real fear in her about it when she gave it consideration.

[Bloodedge]

They continued speaking in hypotheticals, at least for a moment. Ai assured that she would enjoy a romantic approach to their first night together. She spoke those words only to be locked into position beneath Solomon, their gazes locked and... ah, there it was. Ai soon felt his truth: the tool pressed against her entrance as if checking for its ability to invade her personal space. Once he explained himself, Ai came to realize he was being a bit devious ─ teasing even. That was about normal for him, after all. "I did decide it was the perfect time to lead you on," he admitted.

Despite some minor misdirection, spirits seemed to be high all around. Upon being called a tease, Solomon could do little but chuckle. Ai wondered if he'd ever been told such a thing, interestingly while her hands settled atop his shoulders. "I may have been told once or twice. I haven't upset you with my humor, have I?" he asked. Despite that question, Solomon didn't seem to believe there were any issues at all. One could easily assume as much with Ai latching onto him and making herself even more accessible. That initial push became another, then another. The girl seemed to be accepting of his progress, but he still wouldn't rush things. Solomon himself wished to take the most human approach possible, after all. With that in mind, he'd prod his way past the girl's opening through a long, gradual series of strokes. Though even his human instincts demanded full insertion, Solomon didn't believe that was a very romantic approach at all. So... in response to that feeling, he chose instead to press his lips against hers while progress was made.

[Apollymi]

Interesting. Solomon had decided to lead the girl on... so he said. This was actually strangely acceptable to Ai, even though it was a joke at her expense. She wasn't the type of person who took herself too seriously and she could see the humor of his actions even after they'd been started. Having him ready and willing to proceed with her desire for romance made her happy and he was being 'unapologetically' himself so she couldn't actually be upset with him. As such she'd find herself answering his inquiry about it, in a rather amusing way, "To borrow a phrase, joke's on you... I'm into that~" she mused, seeming to borrow such a phrase directly from her friend. She found it more honest for him to joke with her and not take them so serious that he thought her feelings would break under just a little tease.

Moving on, it seemed their entwined bodies would be settled into even as Ai continued to grow more comfortable in Solomon's embrace. There was no rush to this particular romantic endeavor only the beginning of slow pushes forward. Each one, growing gradually deeper but at no understandable pace. She moaned, though she'd expected some pain from the first engagement with sex, this was nothing but pleasant. She'd even find this man's lips against her own rather quickly and she'd happily accept that form of physical contact. Their lips met and she finished wrapping her arms around his form taking great comfort in their continued physical contact. All the while her core seemed to be inviting him deeper and deeper still with little pulses, even though it was quite a snug fit to begin with. It seemed that such a thing was truly quite pressure filled even with the applied slickness existing in her loins. Interesting, she figured some of what was written about such things were exaggerations. Her body was feeling warm again as well, she was sure she was blushing intensely once more... oh well, this was part of the romance.
