Following the victory over Rahgot and Enlayal, Adrea carried Barin through a portal back to her home (at an undisclosed location).  Weak from the weeks muscular atrophy and effort to save Adrea, Barin was in poor shape. Adrea dressed him and placed him in the guest bed.  She looked on as the fatigued man passed out almost immediately upon laying down.

 

Adrea:  I hope he’s alright…

 

 

Adrea wasn’t in much better shape herself.  Her vacation had been a rotten time of vomiting, fighting draugr, nearly dying, fighting more draugr, fighting a human homunculus beast thing, then fighting a dragon priest and his insane zealot.  

 

She set sentries in Barin’s room to alert her if anything happened and prepared to sleep this whole thing off like a terrible hangover.  

 

Adrea:  Well, maybe not a hangover… more like, the end of an excursion… where now, I have a sick person to take care of...I’d better get some rest.  

 

 

She woke up the next morning feeling much better than the previous night…

 

Adrea:  I’ve got a guest here now...and he’s definitely not going to be able to cook.  Better warm up my cooking skills and make some breakfast.

 

 

It was nearly noon when Barin emerged from the guest bedroom.  Shaky on his feet but still able to walk.

 

Barin:  Magic Lady… Where are we? ...Did you beat that guy….or was I dreaming it?

 

Adrea:  Barin! You’re just in time!  The crostata is just about ready.  Have a seat at the table, I’ll fill you in on what you missed.

 

 

Adrea described her full experience at the Oktoberfest to Barin;  How she partied her heart out, was betrayed by Enlayal, ran into Barin’s Gem form, and explored the catacombs.  Barin just hung his head into his chest.

 

Barin:  I failed… all those people died because of me.  And you almost did too…

 

Adrea:  But WE didn’t die!  It’s tragic that all those people perished, but this is BEYOND one man or one woman.  I’ve tangled with these Dragon Priests before. Their plans are either world domination or kill them on a large scale.  We’re both lucky to still be alive.

 

Barin:... yeah, Lucky…

 

Adrea:  That’s Right, LUCKY.  You’ve got a long way to recovery, Barin.  If you ever hope to make amends for all those lives lost, you’ve got to start by saving your own and getting yourself back onto your own two feet.  

  

 

Later that day, Adrea heard sounds of someone working out, followed by a loud THUD.  She walked by Barin’s room to see him collapsed on the floor.

 

Adrea:  It almost looks like he’s given up…

 

 

Adrea:  I can’t let him give up.  He didn’t survive all this time as Gem, just to die in his human body.  Come Adrea...think...what can you do?

 

Later that Night

 

 

Adrea:  Barin! Could you come in here?  I need your help.. Bring a towel.  

 

 

Barin:  I’ve brought the tow...el…el..

 

Barin lost his thought mid-sentence as he saw Adrea in her bath…

 

Adrea:  Thanks for bring it so quickly, Barin…

 

 

Adrea:  Now sit down, we need to have a talk.  

 

Barin did as he was bid.  

 

Adrea:  Listen Barin, I’ve been watching you as you try to gain your strength back and I have to say… from the effort I’ve seen so far...I’m not impressed.  And I think you’re not trying hard enough…

 

 

Barin:  Give me a break, Adrea!  I’ve just gotten back to my body to find I’ve been laying on a bed for almost a month barely being kept alive by some servants.  Then all of those people die and I’m the only one left…

 

Adrea:  Huh?…LaLaLaLaLa...I’m going to cut you off right there.  Do you remember what I said before I let you out of your soul gem?  

 

Barin:  You said to come find me… and I did…

 

Adrea:  And You did… do you know why I asked you to find me?  

 

Barin:  ...No…

 

 

She stood.

 

Adrea:  So I could thank you, in my own way…Let me put this another way, that even the most hard-headed men can understand… “you’re in”... You’re in my house, sharing meals with me, watching me bathe.  I not sure I can send this signal any stronger… But, the way you are now, I don’t think you’d enjoy us having sex together. And I really want you to… So I’ll make you a deal. You put everything you can into your recovery, I’ll help you along the way...and when I think you’re ready, I’m going to rock your world… What do you say?  

 

Barin:  I’d be a fool NOT to take this deal… but how are you going to help?

 

Adrea:  I am a mage you know…  Maybe I can cast a spell to speed your recovery along.

 

 

Barin:  Well then I’m in… where do I begin.  

 

Adrea grabbed her towel.

 

Adrea:  Excellent! You can start by getting out of here.  Shows over…go on! Back to your room!

 

 

Adrea:  Fifty-Five...Fifty-Six...Fifty-Seven...Fifty-Eight...Fifty-Nine...UGH!

 

Barin spent the rest of the night doing leg lifts and push ups until he passed out on the floor.  

 

The Following Morning

 

 

Adrea:  Good Morning Mr. Sleepyhead!  How do you feel?

 

Barin:  I feel like my arms and shoulders are made of iron and my stomach is made of thin leather…

 

Adrea:  I’m so glad you’re taking our talk last night to heart!  Here have some breakfast...I’d change up the menu a bit, but honestly...a berry crostata is the safest thing I know how to make.  So tell me about yourself, Barin. Where did you get that cool glowy armor?

 

Barin:  I’m a Brother in the Order of Arkay.  The glowing armor is both a spell to put the undead to rest and a light to brighten up those tombs we’re usually called into…

 

Adrea sat back and listened as Barin told her all about the Order of Arkay and their charge to contain the undead...

 

A Few Days Later

 

 

Adrea:  BARIN! Could you come in here...I need your help with something!

 

 

Adrea:  Wow! You’re really fast at coming when I call you.  Can you help me out? I have a book I’m trying to get but it’s at the top of this bookshelf and I can’t reach.  

 

Barin:  Of course…

 

 

Adrea pulled up a chair and sat down as Barin jumped for the book at the top.  

 

Adrea:  Keep going Barin!  You’re almost there…

 

Barin:  You know...you could help too… Don’t you have like magic or something?

 

Adrea:  My teacher always taught me to never use magic when you could do it yourself...besides lifting people is alteration magic...I’m SUPER BAD at alteration magic.  So, I’ll just sit back and watch the show.

 

 

Barin:  Here you go mi’lady

 

Adrea:  Thanks…

 

It was then Barin noticed Adrea wasn’t wearing any pants...Devious thoughts filled his mind.

 

Barin:  Don’t you think I should get some kind of reward for getting that book for you?  

 

 

Still reading her book

 

Adrea:  You’ve already gotten your reward, Silly.

 

Barin:  But, I haven’t gotten a reward…

 

Adrea:  Of course you have.  One would think that seeing me without panties on would be reward enough for getting me a book!  

 

Barin:  Uh… but..I..

 

Adrea:  But nothing!  Don’t you have workouts to do?  Get out! I’m busy.

 

 

Later that night, Adrea sat outside Barin’s Room listening to him train.

 

Barin:  One Hundred and Twenty-Two...Stupid Hot Girl...One Hundred and Twenty-Three...making me run around and do things for her...One Hundred and Twenty-four...It’d be SO much easier if she wasn’t prancing around looking all sexy the whole time…AArgh...

 

Adrea:  My plan is working better than expected...pretty soon, he’ll be ready.  I’ve got one more little test for him first though.

 

Later that week

 

 

Adrea:  Barin! After you’ve finished moving that crate to the basement would you mind coming in here?  I need your opinion on something…

 

 

Barin:  Yes, Adrea.  I’m here, what can I help…

 

 

Barin:..elp..you..with.  

 

Adrea:  You took a little while to get here this time, but that’s alright.  These shoes just showed up today and I’m not sure how I feel about them… What do you think?

 

Barin stared blankly at Adrea.  

 

Adrea:  You know what I’m probably not doing a good job showing them off like this...

 

 

Adrea:  There, now you can see them much clearer.  Take a closer look Barin...What do you think?

 

Consumed by lust, Barin could only think of one thing.

 

Barin:  I think it looks tight...let me try to loosen it up a bit for you.

 

 

Barin drew close to Adrea’s legs and began dancing his tongue down her inner thighs.

 

Adrea:  Oh, you dirty boy.  What does this have to do with my new sho-ah-aoohes!

 

Adrea’s sentence was derailed as Barin’s tongue found her clitoris.

 

 

He proceeded to give her cunnalingus as she moaned…

 

Adrea:  Huuhhhh...Ba...Ba…Barin! It’s..uuh..so good..and oooh..I’m so close...but…

 

 

Barin felt a sharp heel in his temple that gently pushed is back.

 

Adrea:  But I’m just talking about the shoes now….We’re almost there though...Trust me.  

 

Barin sat back disappointed.  

 

Several Frustrating Days Later

 

 

Barin:  I’m finally able to start moving around in my armor again.  It took less time than I thought to get back into fighting shape again.  I wonder when Adrea is going to say she’s ready? I’m SO sick of being blue-balled by that woman…

 

He weaved his axe in a complex flowing motion he learned from his training

 

Barin: Meh, better not be too hard on her.  It’s because of her and her awful cooking I’ve been able to recover this quickly.  Plus, She’s a great motivator. I better find someway to thank her before I leave.

 

 

Adrea:  Oh wow, he’s really taken to his training this afternoon… I’m so proud of him.  I’m also a little proud of myself ?

 

 

Adrea channeled her magic

 

Adrea:  I think it’s time he reaped the benefits of his hard work...  

 

*POP*

 

 

Barin’s armor and axe disappeared.

 

Barin:  Hey! Oh, it’s you.  Did you make my gear disappear?

 

Adrea:  Of course I did, Silly.  Binding it to a summoning spell was the only way I could get you out of it when I first took you home.  

 

Barin:  Well...Can you give it back?  I need to get back to training so we can…

 

 

Adrea fumbled with Barin’s pants

 

Adrea:  I’ve been thinking a lot about you as I’ve been watching you train here…

 

Barin:  Oh..Ohhohoh...yeah.  What have you been thinking about?  

 

Adrea:  Little things really… How you’re getting stronger every day...How you never wear a shirt...How big you really are underneath these tight leather pants…

 

 

Adrea:  And I have to say, Barin, I’m satisfied with your progress so far…

 

Barin:  I a-a-aim to please, Mi’lady.  But is this going somewhere or…?

 

Adrea:  Of course this is going somewhere.  I just wanted to get your engine going a little bit before I gave you your reward…

 

Barin:  My Reward?

 

 

Adrea pushed Barin onto a pile of pillows…

 

Adrea:  Your reward for saving my life..and your speedy recovery.  Now sit down. And try to figure out a way out of those pants...I don’t want to see them again.  

 

 

Adrea:  So what do you think?  Do you like it?

 

Barin:  I like it very much.  Whatever it is. I wouldn’t mind seeing it on you more often.

 

 

Adrea:  It’s Elsweyr woven lace that I picked up from a trader a few years ago.  Those Khajiit are always so dexterous. I haven’t had an occasion to wear it since I bought it, so you’re the first.  Tell me what you think of it?

    

 

Adrea was met with silence…

 

Adrea:  Oh No… you don’t like it?  I’m so sorry, I thought you would be into this kind of thing.  I’m so stupid for…

 

Barin:  NO No No! This is great!

 

 

Barin:  I think seeing you show off your new clothes is a great reward.  But if I may, I’d like to make a few tweaks to the outfit.

 

Adrea:  Well, it is your reward… just don’t rip anything.  

 

Barin:  Oh, I won’t…

 

 

Barin:  There…Now the outfit is perfect.  Stay just like that…

 

Adrea:  Typical Pervert.  No sense of style.  Well?!? Are you just going to stare at me or are you going to start doing something?  

 

 

At that, Barin and Adrea began exploring each other’s bodies

 

 

Adrea:  See why I had you wait?  You couldn’t lift me when you first came here

 

 

They started slowly at first, but it led to fantastic sex.  

 

 

When they made it back to the bed, Barin was in fine form.  Taking Adrea to her limit and over it.

 

 

As they lay, spooning in the afterglow, Barin began to tease Adrea.  

 

Adrea:  Heh..Heh..Hey!  Thats...mine, be gentle!

 

Barin:  Oh course my dear.  I just wanted to make sure you were still having a good time.  Besides, YOU deserved to be teased a little…

 

 

Adrea:  I suppose I do.

 

Adrea got up from the bed.

 

Adrea:  Don’t move.  Or else you’ll miss the next part of your fashion show.  

 

 

Several minutes later, Adrea walked back in the room…

 

Barin:  Oh my… what is that “outfit”?  

 

Adrea:  Oh, This isn’t an outfit.  It’s jewelry I made for myself.  My first job in Solstheim was being a pearl diver.  Having rudimentary water magic training made me a natural at this sort of thing.  So I made jewelry and sold it… This was something I created special for me.

 

 

Adrea:  And This…

 

She threw at scroll on the bed

 

Adrea:  Was something I picked from the college before I left.  It’s a scroll that’s supposed to show non-magic users what it’s like to have sex with someone who has magic.  The “mage” I picked it up from had a thing for me...so I was able to make of with lots of these scrolls. I think he thought I would use one with him...but, he was wrong.  HA! He’s probably a millionaire now.

 

Barin:  So how do I do this?  

 

Adrea:  Let’s go to a bigger space and try it out.  

 

 

The scroll was quite impressive, granting Barin the power to levitate things at will.  

 

 

It opened up new angles and new possibilities for whatever his dirty mind could come up with...

 

 

 

But there was only one thing Barin wanted to see

 

 

 

And he definitely got an eyeful of it…

 

 

 

The magic waned as Barin came closer to cumming.

 

 

He began to work harder...until…

 

 

Adrea:  I’m CUMMING!

 

 

PLOP!

 

The magic ran out and both participants landed at awkward angles.  

 

Barin:  Adrea! Are you alright?  

 

 

Adrea:  That mage really thought of everything...teehee...the spell made you pull out at the last moment.  I might have to look this guy up again…

 

 

For the next few days...Adrea finally got the vacation she wanted.  

 

 

Barin and her ended up utilizing every room in the house.  

 

 

All she had to do was give Barin a little smirk and he was ready to rise to the occasion.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like most things though, it would come to an end.  And Adrea would be left thinking about the next time she would be with her Gem.  

 

Until that terrible day arrived where Barin would return to his order.  

 

 

Barin:  Let’s see, I’ve got my armor back, my ax, supplies. I think I’m all set.

 

 

Adrea:  You know… You don’t have to leave so soon.  We only just started having fun and…

 

Barin:  I know what you’re going to say.  But I have to go back. Otherwise, the Order will send more Brothers to the Castle looking for me.  

 

Adrea:  So let them look!  They’ll never find you, you’ll be here.  

 

Barin:  If they don’t find my body or armor, they’ll label me a deserter.  I don’t want that staining my honor.

 

 

Adrea:  Fine!

 

She tossed a pendant at him.  

 

Adrea:  You’re better off taking this with you anyway.  

 

 

Barin:  It’s lovely...but..what’s this?  

 

Adrea:  It’s a necklace I made, out of that soul gem you inhabited.  

 

Barin:  You actually dove to the bottom of that pool after you released me?

 

Adrea:  Child’s play.  I’m a water mage remember.  

 

 

Barin thanked her and kissed her fully.  Then turned to walk away.

 

Adrea:  Hey Gem!

 

Barin turned around.  

 

 

Adrea smiled

 

Adrea:  If they kick you out of the order…Come on back.  Here are two reasons why you should show up again.  

 

Barin smiled

 

Barin:  They may not need to kick me out in order for me to do that.  

 

He then opened the door and left.  

 

 

 

 

Now alone, Adrea wandered her house aimlessly.  It was too quiet. She walked over to where she left her emerald brooch.  All jewelry Adrea created was imbued with her magic, in some way. This brooch was one of 4 she made for her and the rest of her friends in the Sylphs.  She channeled her magic through it.

 

Adrea:  Hello? Is anyone still on this thing?  

 

 

Eira:  OH MY GODS! Is that Adrea!?!?

 

Dior:  Varina! We have a Code Red, CODE RED! Abort hiring the new Red-Head.  

 

Varina:  ADREA! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? You’ve been gone for over a month.  What happened to a SHORT vacation?

 

Adrea:  Well I’ll tell you all about it girls.  Once I get back to Solstheim…Wait! You were gonna hire a New Red-Head?!?!

 

-Fin-
