  "Should I be scared that I'm now alone with you?" I asked admiring her decor. It was a lot more heavily decorative than Araths but I didn't really expect anything less.

  "It amazes me to no end that you are not terrified of me." Rayna spoke as she pulled a few pillows off a couch against the wall. By couch I was referring to a few rge mattress looking things with a soft headboard that were pced on the ground without legs. Centaur design I kept telling myself.

  "And why would I be?"

  My question seemed to catch her off guard and she looked at me perplexed. "Because I am the leader of the centaurs an apex of a species that are already above average from birth and am widely regarded as one of the strongest Paragons."

  I matched her gaze. "Dam that's impressive." A slight tinge of red graced her cheeks at the compliment but she didn't say anything so I continued. "But you are also the only reason I'm alive. I'm not blind enough to not know me being here is creating some attention both wanted and unwanted, so the fact nothing but that harpy has managed to get to me means you're helping in the shadows. You have yet to give me a reason to fear you. You currently only have my respect."

  I let that sink in as for the first time Rayna actually looked at a loss for words.

  "It also does help that you've made your intentions clear. It's very hard to be scared of some who wants to sleep with me." I finished finally getting a response.

  "Do I need to warn you what will happen if our little secret becomes widely known?" There was a slightly threatening aura that seemed to emanate out of her as she said those words.

  "Apart from Arath only those you might have told know."

  "Good."

  I so couldn't help myself.

  "Does this mean when I am strong enough I can mount you in front of the whole vilge?"

  A wave of pressure smmed into me throwing my body against the wall.

  Resistance 3 acquired.

  Yip that hurt. I don't know what I really expected from that comment but it was along these lines. Every bone in my body screamed at me and I found a distinct ck of movement as I tried to move my arms. Yeah maybe I shouldn't tease Rayna just yet but I got a skill out of it at least.

  Slowly my bones started to knit themselves back together as the Paragon held up her hand, a silvery light haloing her body.

  "I hope you know I held back." Rayna taunted with a ugh.

  I tried to form words in return but my jaw seemed to be dislocated. She took her sweet time healing me but I did deserve it, at least to a point.

  When I could finally moved without anything snapping like a glow stick I got to my feet and stretched. Some parts still felt a little off but I was in one piece for the most part.

  "Still no taunting you, got it." I said once my jaw could move.

  "I have killed many for less than what you just said, and yet even now you still don't fear me."

  "Did you want me to?"

  "No. I kind of like it. Usually it's only other Paragons that can have a normal conversation with me without thinking I could kill them, it's refreshing. Although I do find it stupid you seem to not care about the damage I just did to you."

  "But I still can't say anything out of line even though we're in private?"

  "You can try." There was a subtle taunt in her words like she wanted me to but my body screamed in protest.

  This was one of the times I'll admit defeat. Not for long however just for now.

  "Well at least let me say you're beautiful, I must at least be able to compliment you. And since I'm not afraid I must be genuine."

  I felt her invade my mind searching for and deception but I really did find her attractive and not just because she's a powerful ally. The red tinge to her cheeks returned and I noticed her tail rose ever so slightly.

  The part of her currently in my head tched onto the fact I noticed and a look of mortification invaded her features. That was also the only warning I got before another wave of pressure hit me this time knocking me out cold.

  Resistance 4 acquired

  Resistance 5 acquired

  Resistance 6 acquired

  Resistance 7 acquired

  Compliments are also a no go it seems, I thought to myself as I came back to the waking world.

  I'd rather take on a small army than do that again. Even with the increase to resistance it wasn't worth it. Not that I'd get rid of the skill but dam she can dish out a beating without moving an inch.

  Opening my eyes I was greeted with the marvellous sight of some breasts hanging tantalisingly within touching distance as their owner sung a lulby that I wasn't aware of. It was sweet and calming, not that the situation made me calm. I almost wanted to reach out and touch....

  'If you complete that thought I will break your bones again.' Rayna spoke into my mind not stopping her lulby.

  I need to remember she can read minds. I wonder if there's a skill to make me immune to it, would make beating her easier.

  The lulby stopped and the centaurs face peaked over her mounds. I was in the fabled p pillow, centaur edition.

  "You are both infuriating and impressive."

  "I'll take that as a compliment." I replied trying to get up. The centaur pced her hand on my forehead and pulled me back down. Guess I'm staying.

  "I would like to apologise." Rayna said hiding her face behind her bosom.

  Was she trying to hide her face as she said this?

  "For not giving you any privacy since you became a Paragon. I believe retionships are built on honesty and while I cannot promise not to look in on you every now and then to make sure you are not going down a dark path, I would like to make you aware now so there are no secrets between us."

  That was a lot to digest. I'm guessing she has some type of cirvoyance skill so she can see me at any point in time. So she was apologizing for using it on a creature that might have been a problem? Seems like common sense to me.

  "You're fine. I'm not surprised to be honest, I'd do something simir if I were in your shoes or hoofs. And thank you for telling me." I replied trying really hard to be serious as her chest rhythmically moved with her breathing.

  "You are most welcome. Now I shan't keep you from your head mare least she gets any ideas, or you for that matter."

  Responding was pointless as my surroundings changed once again only this time to a more familiar room with a very familiar centaur. Arath cried out in suprise then dove into the bed Rayna had sent me to.

  "My lord husband! Welcome back."

  Sheets were crumpled in her haste to get her arms around me and I didn't mind that she hugged me a little too tightly.

  "How was Rayna?" She asked with a slight waver in her voice.

  "She was good. Just wanted to tell me something about her future pns for our family."

  Arath let out a breath. "That's nice."

  My head mare was still a little scared of her Paragon. Hopefully at some point I can remove that fear but for now I'll stick with cuddling, and while Rayna had left me in the mood I didn't think Arath was up for it at this moment. We stayed in each other's embrace for what felt like a long time but eventually the blood still stuck to my ruined clothes started to irritate me.

  "Do you mind if I get cleaned up my love? I feel very dirty especially lying in our bed."

  My mare snickered but brought herself up onto her feet, with me still bundled in her arms. "That's a good idea. The communal baths should be quite this time of night."

  Communal? Now I was suddenly very interested in bathing and not for the previous reason. I tried not to let it show but Arath couldn't keep the smile off her face as she grabbed us some supplies. I mean I was excited to look but I think she was more excited to show me off.

  I did however have to grab a small bnket to hide my modesty during our walk over as my current attire would probably only be fit for a nudist beach or a horror show depending on your taste.

  Arath of course put me on her back the moment we left the house, this time however holding my hand in a death grip. I wasn't going to say anything but it was really cute. In an overprotective sort of way but still cute.

  But now to enjoy a good bath with a view of course.
