The kiss deepened and our tongues tangled.
I felt a rush surging from her to me. The sprites began to mingle between our hands. Her elegant sprites danced with my jittery ones.
Something resisted. My tongue piercing throbbed painfully and burned hotter as if struggling to deal with the change in Mana composition.
Calliope broke the kiss with a gasp, her cheeks flushed and eyes gleaming. "Do you feel that? Our Sugar is merging... isn't this incredible?"
"The piercing," I growled, my voice rough with frustration and rising arousal. My cock, already half-hard from the kiss, twitched against her thigh. The bond's energy was amplifying everything. "It's like a fucking leash."
She smirked, tracing a finger down my neck to my chest. "A leash on a god? How quaint." Her other hand slid lower, wrapping around my thickening shaft. She stroked slowly, teasingly.
"But leashes can be slipped," she murmured. "And this one... is already cracking. I can feel it with the Sugar. It's like I can feel more of you... just you. The bond is trying to complete, but that little piece of metal is still choking the last of your unbonded Sugar."
"I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to break this thing," I said. "Not unless Elaine somehow pops in and decides to give it a rest."
"Have you tried using your GSP yet?" Calliope asked. "See what happens."
The name alone set a dark thrill through me. I'd barely scratched the surface of it back when I was in Dr. Ryebald's office. Having sex with the Mana ward was almost like having sex with a wall if that wall had a pussy, breasts, and an orgasm face. It was surreal.
I closed my eyes and focused.
The world dimmed. Sound faded. All that remained was the slow throb of my depressed Mana circulation... and there, like a cold black thorn lodged in the center of my tongue, was the piercing.
I could see it, not with my eyes, but with GSP. I could feel the lattice of Spice runes on the piercing itself.
Using GSP felt differently this time. I felt sluggish, and it seemed like there was some kind of lag between my efforts and the actual activating of GSP. Whatever is working must be from whatever Sugar of mine was able to bond with Calliope's Sugar.
As I probed deeper, something stirred within the piercing's core. It was a faint, ethereal presence. It was also familiar. A very alive, but bounded entity was fluttering against bars. It was a feminine, needy feeling.
"Calliope," I muttered, eyes still closed. "I... I've found something. The Mana being at the heart of the piercing. It's holding the suppression in place. I think so, anyway."
"Tease it out, Teddy," she said. "Use our bonded Sugar... I'll help guide it."
I nodded, focusing harder. With GSP active, I visualized reaching into the piercing, coaxing the entity with soft caresses of Mana flow. Calliope pressed her palm against my chest, channeling her Spice through me like a conduit. It was warm.
The piercing heated up, vibrating against my tongue. A soft, whimpering hum echoed in my mind. Sensations of hunger, confinement, and a desperate ache for release.
With a sharp crack that echoed through the palace, the piercing broke open. Not released from my tongue all the way but cracked enough that Mana swirls began to flow out.
The swirls coalesced until they concentrated somewhere in the air above our heads until it formed an image of a petite, glowing nymph. She had translucent wings that shimmered like dragonflies. Her body was like a tiny, curved hourglass. She was purple in the skin, and her hair was silver. Her eyes... they were pleading. She wore nothing but faint runes that pulsed erratically across her body.
The sprite let out a breathy sigh, stretching her arms as if waking from a long sleep. "F-finally... free..." Her voice was melodic and echoed faintly in the air.
"Poor thing," Calliope said. "Bound to suppress a Sugar Well's flow? Elaine must have been in a cruel mood." She beckoned with her free hand. "Come here. Taste what you've been denying him."
The sprite's eyes locked onto my throbbing shaft, widening with raw hunger. "S-sugar... so much trapped..."
She fluttered down, wings buzzing softly. She reached out, tracing the veins along my cock with feather-light touches that sent jolts of pleasure racing up my spine.
I groaned, hips bucking instinctively. "Fuck... she's... pulling it out..."
Calliope nodded, her own arousal evident in the way her nipples hardened. "That's right. She's pulling at the Sugar that's trapped in your piercing. Let her. If the flow gets going enough, it could shatter completely."
The sprite leaned in, her mouth opening wide. She engulfed the head of my cock in one eager motion, her tongue swirling around the tip. She sucked greedily, drawing out the unbonded Sugar in small waves that slowly grew with more intensity.
"Ah—yes—more—" the sprite moaned around me, her voice vibrating through my cock. Her wings fluttered fast. Her breasts heaved, runes glowing brighter with each swallow.
Calliope joined the sprite's efforts by stroking the base of my cock. "Look at her go. She's starving for it." She leaned down, whispering to the sprite. "Suck him dry."
The sprite's pace quickened, bobbing her head with frantic need. Her small hands pumped what her mouth couldn't reach, and I felt the piercing in my tongue begin to vibrate with more intensity. Tiny flakes of it began to dissolve. The pleasure was building like a storm, my balls tightening.
"I'm—fuck—I'm close—" I said.
The sprite whimpered, her body trembling. Her wide eyes locked onto mine as she took me deeper. Her throat flexed impossibly, swallowing every inch she could manage. One hand cupped my balls, massaging gently while the other pumped the base, and that was it. I came hard.
Thick, heavy ropes erupted straight into her waiting mouth. She moaned, cheeks hollowing as she gulped greedily, swallowing every drop. My thighs electrified with pleasure emanating from my blissed-out cock. Each throb felt like it was ripping free years of pent-up Mana.
The piercing on my tongue shattered.
The orgasm rolled through her too. Her whole form convulsed, back arching. Mana exploded outward in sparkling waves. She came apart, into motes of Spice and Sugar, fading away with one last, trembling moan. The last flakes of the piercing crumbled completely from my tongue, leaving only smooth, tingling flesh behind.
Calliope never stopped stroking. She was gentle and slow, coaxing the last bit of cum out of the final throbs.
She licked a stray bead from the tip with a satisfied hum, then crawled up my body until she straddled my hips again. Her silver chains clinked softly against my chest as she leaned down, kissing me deep and slow.
When she pulled back, her deep blue eyes were molten.
"I feel it... you must feel it too... your Sugar is returning."
I did feel it. It was like a continual increase of power like I had never felt before, probably because I had never to go from zero before. At least, other than when I began producing Sugar for the first time.
"I'm not sure how long it will take to get back to the levels I'm used to," I said.
"We have time," Calliope said. "Time for that, anyway."
"And then it's time to put down the Salt King."
Calliope smiled. "I've got an idea for that, too."
