Charisma 100: My Academy Life As A Heartbreaking Commoner-Chapter 212: Hot Springs*

{Scarlett}

Scarlett leaned back, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Fuuuck, I needed this," Scarlett announced. Her head was fully tilted up, her arms resting on the edge of the rocky bath.

"May it never be said that I don’t spoil the people who work for me," Aegis said.

"Ain’t that the truth," Scarlett muttered with a grin.

After that successful military exhibition, Aegis had decided to give her most important workers a bit of a reward. Alongside a hefty bonus that still had Scarlett salivating, she took them all to the local bathhouse. That was why now, she, Scarlett, Kanna, Evelyn, Rosalie, and the twins were all taking a naked dip together.

Scarlett glanced over at Aegis, who had the twins at her sides.

[God, her body is amazing. When was the last time we had sex? Way too long ago!]

"Thanks for inviting us, nya," Mei’Lin said, licking a stripe up the side of Aegis’s face.

"Like I said before, this is for House Starcaller. And you two have already helped House Starcaller out a ton." Aegis nuzzled Mei’Lin in a way that made the girl giggle.

Opposite Scarlett was Kanna, looking down into the water with half-lidded eyes. Off to the left was a shy Rosalie, covering her own chest, and Evelyn, who was trying to get her to calm down (without bothering to hide her amusement).

Scarlett huffed. She realized something.

[Honestly... You know what would make this better? Pussy! A very warm pussy wrapped around my dick.]

It wasn’t that this was a bad means of celebration, of course not, but it could be spiced up further, in Scarlett’s opinion.

[But who...?]

Therein lay the problem.

Aegis would no doubt agree to spend the night together if Scarlett asked. But, it seemed like she was feeling the catgirl option on the menu tonight, judging by how she was squeezing Mei’Lin’s boobs right now.

On the left, maybe Scarlett could flirt up a storm with Rosalie, but they hadn’t really talked much up till now and-

"I suppose it’s time to head back, for me," Evelyn suddenly said. "As much as I’d love to be irresponsible, I do have lots of work to do in the morning."

"Aw, come on, live a little!"

"My Lady," Evelyn smirked. "You brought me here because I’ve been performing well. Perhaps we shouldn’t let this night have an effect on that performance you like so much, hm?"

"Fair."

"Oh, are you heading back to the manor?" Rosalie asked.

"Of course."

"I’ll head back with you!" Rosalie called out, standing up as well.

[FUCK!]

Scarlett’s body dissolved into the water, forming an antsy, horny puddle on the surface.

So, that left Scarlett with two options. Maybe she could pull away one of the twins, or, somehow, Kanna.

The twins were both currently occupied, though. Kai’Lin had shifted around so she was straddling Aegis’s lap, and the two of them started casually making out while Mei’Lin nibbled on Aegis’s ear. As if Evelyn and Rosalie being there was all that had been holding them back. Every few seconds, one of them would let out a little moan or a giggle, and Scarlett found herself staring for longer than was probably appropriate.

[Damn. Aegis really does have it good, huh?]

She watched Aegis’s hands slide down Kai’Lin’s back, watched Mei’Lin whisper something that made Aegis laugh.

Scarlett sighed.

[Guess I’m not getting in on that action tonight.]

She let her gaze drift across the bath, past the spot where Evelyn and Rosalie had been sitting, and landed on Kanna.

Kanna was still in the same position as before. Head tilted down, eyes half-closed, arms resting on her knees beneath the water. She looked relaxed, or at least, as relaxed as Kanna ever looked. Which wasn’t very.

But then Scarlett noticed something.

Kanna was looking at her.

Not obviously, not directly. But her eyes were angled in Scarlett’s direction, and when Scarlett met her gaze, Kanna glanced away just a little too fast.

[Huh.]

She shrugged.

[Well... Even if I don’t get my dick wet, maybe I can make Kanna blush a little. Almost equally as satisfying, to be honest.]

Scarlett stood up, water cascading off her body, and made her way over to Kanna’s side of the bath. She plopped down next to her, close enough that their shoulders almost touched, and threw an arm around Kanna’s back.

"Hey."

"... Hey."

"Good fight earlier."

Kanna nodded.

"You too."

"That kick you took was pretty brutal. You good?"

"I’m fine."

Scarlett waited for more. A comment about the fight, maybe. A jab about how Scarlett had almost clipped her with that first swing. Something.

Nothing came.

[Okay, she’s being weird. Weirder than usual, I mean.]

Kanna was always quiet, sure. That was just how she was. But this was different. There was a tension in her shoulders that hadn’t been there during the fight, and she was very pointedly not looking at Scarlett right now.

Scarlett leaned in a bit closer.

"You okay? You’re being all..."

She trailed off, gesturing vaguely with her free hand.

"All what?"

"I dunno. Tense?"

Kanna didn’t answer. Her jaw tightened slightly, and she shifted her position under the water.

And that’s when Scarlett saw it.

Just beneath the surface, distorted by the ripples but still very much visible, Kanna’s cock was standing at full attention. Hard and thick and straining upward like it was trying to breach the waterline.

Scarlett’s brain short-circuited for about three seconds.

[Oh.] She blinked. [OH!]

Suddenly, Scarlett was just as tense.

The situation had turned kind of crazy in an instant. Scarlett’s mind began to sprint in circles. Was it because of the ongoing action nearby? Aegis’s make-out with Kai’Lin had been interrupted now when Mei’Lin pulled her face away and rammed her tongue down Aegis’s throat and, well, seeing that so close would definitely get Scarlett a little frisky.

But...

[She was staring at me. Is... Is she like that because of me!?]

No. Impossible. That couldn’t be the case... right? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Scarlett’s eyes drifted back to Aegis’s little corner of the bath.

Things had escalated over there. Aegis had lifted Kai’Lin clean out of the water and pinned her down on the stone floor beside the bath, the catgirl’s legs hooked over Aegis’s shoulders. Mei’Lin was watching from the water, one hand between her own thighs, as Aegis lined herself up and pushed inside.

"A-Ahhn~!" Kai’Lin’s moan echoed off the bathhouse walls.

Aegis started moving, her hips driving forward in deep, steady thrusts. Kai’Lin’s back arched, her tail going stiff, her hands scrambling for something to hold onto. She found Aegis’s arms and dug her nails in.

"Fuck, nya, fuck, fuck, fuck—"

Scarlett swallowed.

"That’s, uh." She glanced at Kanna. "That’s crazy, huh?"

"Mm."

Kanna’s response was barely a sound. Her eyes were still fixed on the water in front of her, refusing to look at Scarlett, refusing to look at the show happening a few feet away. Her cock twitched visibly beneath the surface.

[Okay. Okay, fuck it.]

Scarlett’s heart was pounding. This was probably a terrible idea. Kanna was her sparring partner, her colleague, her... whatever. They worked together. They trained together. If this went wrong, things would get weird, and Scarlett really didn’t want things to get weird.

But also, Kanna was sitting right next to her with a rock-hard dick, and Scarlett’s own cock was starting to strain against her thigh, and the sounds Kai’Lin was making were not helping at all.

[Now or never, Lionheart.]

Scarlett reached over and gently took Kanna’s chin between her fingers. She turned Kanna’s face toward her.

Kanna’s eyes went wide.

Scarlett kissed her.

It wasn’t a long kiss. Just a few seconds, lips pressed together, soft and warm and a little bit desperate. When Scarlett pulled back, Kanna was staring at her like she’d grown a second head.

"It’s a celebration, you know?" Scarlett said, putting on her best confident smirk. Her voice only wavered a little bit. "Come on... Live a little."

Kanna didn’t respond. Her gaze dropped, sliding down Scarlett’s body, past her abs, past her hips, until it landed on the very obvious erection Scarlett was sporting beneath the water.

Just as hard as Kanna’s.

"..." Kanna inhaled slowly, for an eternity, like her lungs would never fill.

Scarlett leaned in and kissed her again. Harder this time.

[God, I really hope this works.]

Kanna kissed her back.

It was hesitant at first. Uncertain. Kanna’s lips moved against hers like she wasn’t quite sure what to do with them, which was insane, because this was the same woman who could read an opponent’s magic mid-cast and counter it before the spell even finished forming. But kissing? Kissing was apparently a different battlefield entirely.

Kanna’s tongue poked out, touched Scarlett’s lower lip, and then retreated back into her mouth like it had gotten scared.

[Heh. Cute.]

Scarlett tilted her head and took the lead. She pressed forward, slipping her tongue past Kanna’s lips, exploring her mouth. Kanna made a small sound in the back of her throat, something like a gasp, and Scarlett felt her own cock twitch in response.

When she pulled back, Kanna’s eyes were half-lidded. Her cheeks were flushed. Her lips were parted and wet and her chest was rising and falling a little faster than before.

She looked horny.

Really, really horny.

[Fuck.] Scarlett’s dick was throbbing now, straining so hard it almost hurt. [Okay. Okay okay okay.]

"Straddle me," Scarlett said. Her voice came out rougher than she intended.

Kanna blinked. For a moment, Scarlett thought she might refuse, might pull back, might say this was a mistake and they should stop.

Instead, Kanna shifted. She swung one leg over Scarlett’s lap, then the other, settling down so they were face to face. Their cocks brushed against each other beneath the water and Scarlett had to bite her lip to keep from groaning out loud.

They kissed again. And again. Scarlett’s hands found Kanna’s ass, that tight, muscular ass that had been living rent-free in her head ever since she’d accidentally walked in on Kanna jerking off a few weeks ago. She squeezed, kneading the firm flesh, and Kanna gasped into her mouth.

[God, it’s even better than I imagined.]

Kanna’s hips rolled forward, grinding their cocks together, and Scarlett saw stars for a second. This was too much. Way too much. If they kept going like this, in the middle of the bath, with Aegis and the twins right fucking there—

Scarlett pulled back, breathing hard.

"We need to find somewhere private."

Kanna nodded.

Scarlett wrapped her arms around Kanna’s thighs and stood up, lifting her clean out of the water. Kanna’s legs locked around Scarlett’s waist on instinct, her arms draping over Scarlett’s shoulders.

Water streamed off both of them as Scarlett carried her toward the back of the bathhouse, looking for a door, a room, a closet, anything.

[I don’t care where. I just need to be inside her in the next five minutes or I’m gonna lose my mind.]

She found a door.

Some kind of private room, maybe for massages or whatever rich people did at bathhouses. There was a worker standing outside, a young woman with a towel draped over her arm, and she opened her mouth to say something but Scarlett cut her off.

"Lady Starcaller’s paying for it."

"I— but—"

Scarlett was already pushing past her, Kanna still wrapped around her waist. She kicked the door shut behind them.

The room was small. A padded table in the center, some shelves with oils and towels, a single lamp flickering in the corner. Good enough. Perfect, actually.

Scarlett pressed Kanna against the nearest wall and kissed her again, hard and messy, all tongue and teeth and desperation. Kanna’s fingers dug into Scarlett’s shoulders. Her hips bucked forward, grinding her cock against Scarlett’s stomach.

[Okay. Okay, think.]

This was like a fight. If Scarlett just threw Kanna down and fucked her senseless, sure, it would feel amazing in the moment, but then what? Kanna would probably get weird about it. She’d close up, pull away, pretend it never happened. And Scarlett really, really didn’t want that.

She wanted to do this again. Multiple times. Preferably on a regular basis.

Which meant she had to do this right.

[Lower her defenses first. Wear her down. Then go in for the kill.]

Scarlett pulled back from the kiss and guided Kanna toward the padded table. Kanna went without resistance, her eyes glazed, her chest heaving. When the backs of her knees hit the edge, she sat down, and Scarlett dropped to her knees in front of her.

Kanna blinked.

"What are you—"

Scarlett wrapped her hand around Kanna’s cock.

It was thick. Hot. Already leaking a bit at the tip. Scarlett gave it a slow stroke, base to head, and watched Kanna’s whole body shudder.

[Not really what I want to do right now, but...]

She leaned forward and took the head into her mouth.

Kanna made a sound like she’d been punched in the gut. Her hands flew to Scarlett’s hair, gripping tight, and her thighs tensed on either side of Scarlett’s head.

Scarlett bobbed down, taking more of it in, working her tongue along the underside. It wasn’t something she did often. Giving head wasn’t exactly her specialty. But this wasn’t about her right now. This was about getting Kanna loose and pliant and ready to take a cock up the ass without pushing Scarlett away.

Strategy. Just like a fight.

She pulled back, swirled her tongue around the tip, then plunged back down. Kanna’s hips jerked involuntarily, pushing deeper into Scarlett’s mouth, and Scarlett let her. She relaxed her throat, took it, kept going.

Above her, Kanna was falling apart. Her head was thrown back, her eyes squeezed shut, her stomach muscles twitching with every stroke.

[Yeah. That’s it. Just relax for me.]

Scarlett pulled off with a wet pop, looked up at Kanna’s flushed face, and grinned.

"Feeling good?"

Kanna’s only response was a shaky exhale.

[Perfect.]

Scarlett stood up, leaning over Kanna, and brought her mouth to Kanna’s chest.

Kanna’s tits weren’t huge, not like Aegis’s or Mei’Lin’s, but they were firm and perky and fit perfectly in Scarlett’s hands. She palmed one while her lips found the other, tongue circling the nipple before sucking it into her mouth.

"Hah—" Kanna’s back arched off the table.

Scarlett’s free hand found Kanna’s cock again, stroking it in slow, lazy pumps. She alternated between breasts, licking, sucking, occasionally dragging her teeth across the sensitive skin just to feel Kanna twitch beneath her.

[Almost there. Just a little more.]

She glanced down. Kanna’s thighs had fallen open, her whole body loose and trembling. Her pussy was glistening, slick and ready, practically begging for attention.

[Yeah. That’s what I’m talking about.]

Scarlett released Kanna’s nipple with a wet sound and positioned herself between Kanna’s legs. She grabbed her own cock, lined it up, and pressed the tip against Kanna’s folds.

Kanna’s eyes snapped open.

"Scarlett—"

She pushed in.

[Holy FUCK.]

Kanna’s pussy was tight. Obscenely tight. Her walls clamped down around Scarlett’s cock like they were trying to squeeze the life out of it, hot and wet and so fucking good that Scarlett had to stop moving for a second just to keep from cumming on the spot.

"Shit," Scarlett breathed. "Shit, you’re tight."

Kanna didn’t respond. Her mouth was open, her eyes unfocused, her hands gripping the edges of the padded table so hard her knuckles had gone white.

Scarlett started slow. Shallow thrusts, in and out, letting Kanna adjust. It took every ounce of willpower she had not to just slam forward and pound her into the table, but no. Strategy. She had to do this right.

[Think about what Aegis did. That one time.]

Scarlett wasn’t usually on the receiving end. Taking cock wasn’t her thing. But that one night with Aegis, when Aegis had bent her over and fucked her until she couldn’t see straight... Scarlett had learned a few things. About angles. About rhythm. About hitting the right spots at the right time.

She shifted her hips, changed the angle slightly, and thrust again.

Kanna moaned. Actually moaned, loud and unrestrained, her whole body jerking.

[There it is.]

Scarlett picked up the pace. Faster. Harder.

She grabbed Kanna’s hips for leverage and drove into her, over and over, hitting that same spot with every stroke. The wet slap of skin on skin filled the room, mixed with Kanna’s increasingly desperate sounds.

"Scar— Scarlett— I’m—"

"Yeah?" Scarlett grinned down at her, breathing hard. "Go ahead. Cum for me."

Kanna’s back arched clean off the table. Her pussy clenched impossibly tighter, pulsing around Scarlett’s cock, and her dick erupted between them. Thick ropes of cum splattered across her own stomach, her chest, some of it hitting Scarlett’s abs.

The sight of it, Kanna’s cock twitching and spurting while her pussy milked Scarlett’s dick, was too much.

"Fuck— fuck—"

Scarlett slammed in one last time and came. Her vision went white for a second as she emptied herself inside Kanna, hips stuttering, whole body shaking with the force of it.

For a long moment, neither of them moved.

Scarlett slumped forward, catching herself on her forearms so she didn’t completely crush Kanna beneath her. Their chests pressed together, slick with sweat and cum, and Scarlett could feel Kanna’s heart pounding against her own.

[Holy shit. Holy shit, that was amazing.]

She was about to say something, maybe crack a joke to break the tension, when Kanna moved.

Suddenly, Scarlett was on her back.

Kanna was above her, pinning her down, grey hair falling around her face like a curtain. Her brown eyes were intense, focused, and her softening cock was already starting to twitch back to life against Scarlett’s thigh.

"Kanna?"

"I’m going to fuck you."

It wasn’t a question. It wasn’t a request. Kanna said it like she’d just made a decision, like she’d weighed the options and arrived at this conclusion and now it was simply going to happen.

Scarlett swallowed.

Her own cock, still sensitive from cumming, gave an interested twitch.

[Oh fuck.]
