I start walking towards the giant ferns that act as a fence for the open space, thinking back to pying with Mommy. Even if they were happy to py, I don't think I would've had all that much fun. Mommy just knew how to make it special, even when I robably a little old to be pying tag with her.

  I make it past the wall of green and find the house in the distance. I keep walking, this time taking in all the yard has to offer. Off to my right, I see another building. I think Shimmer said that would be by the pond they have. Well, to the left also has a structure, so maybe that has the pond? Not that it would really matter. I'm sure Aurora would take any moment by them into some lesson ruining the ke anyway.

  Suddenly, a hand grasps mine, f it open and iwining our soft fingers. A small heat shivers up my right arm.

  "You didn't think I would let you go without a bath, did you?" Shimmer says, her hand holding tight. Her pace matches mine as she lets me go where I wish. Almost, I'm sure she would stop me if I tried to leave the grounds.

  Behind us are the maids, their feet careful not t along the gravel path. Well, all of us, really. My weird walking bonus isn't just for heels, but that is where it shihe most.

  I don't have anywhere I would really like to go, mainly just bay room to hide away forever. So, I just keep walking towards the house. Shimmer is quiet this time, just focused on walking with me through the giant yard. Holding my hand.

  A maid scurries past us to open the door before I reach it, letting me walk straight in. Shimmer doesn't let go of me, instead pullio a stop just inside.

  "Ready for a bath?" She asks.

  I don't really have anythier to do, so I tell her, "I guess."

  "I'll lead the way then," she says, stepping out in front aing my hand go. She leads me through the halls towards the front. Stopping a bit short of the frorance, Shimmer takes a right and walks through a door. I follow her into the ging area.

  "It looks like some girls are in a bath. Nobody ever goes in the sauna without me, so we don't have to worry about that," Shimmer says to me. Looking around, I don't see what makes her say others are taking a bath. The room is empty beside us, and the maids follow us in.

  I don't get much time to ponder what Shimmer looks like before my shirt is forced over my head and my pants fall down. The sed, my is gone, and underwear, likely to magic.

  "The maids work quickly," Shimmer says, giving out a small ugh at my surprise. "Let's get ih. I want to see how hot you take it."

  Shimmer runs off, stopping me from getting a good look at her naked form. Aurora and I follow behind her, going through the left entrance.

  Inside, Shimmer is already hiding her body uhe water, watg us walk in.

  "No maids. Leave Aurora. I'm more than happy to Alzi off myself. If Alzi wishes to me, she may. Otherwise, I myself. We already saw what heat does tnant women," Shimmer decres.

  "As you wish, Lady Shimmer," Aurora says with a bow. She turns on her heels and walks out, leaving me aloh Shimmer.

  Taking a deep breath, I join Shimmer in the massive bath. She hasn't heated the water yet, but I am ied to see how hot she makes it.

  She gives me a small smile and then puts a bunch of fires uhe water.

  "Isn't that just going to boil all the water away?" I ask.

  "Not if I increase the pressure in the room. you take that kind of heat?" Shimmer asks, the fires growing bigger.

  "Yes," I say back. I'm not sure how pressure will stop the water from boiling, but I could y in a fire and be fine. Not even my long hair would burn away.

  "Good, the heat is more enjoyable with others. Elora take a bit more thahers with her affinity, but even the sauna temperatures get them to pause. All saying it's best when it feels just a tad warm or something. B really. You should feel the heat seeping in deep, all through your body. Letting it do the job of ing."

  "I don't thi will remove dirt from your skin."

  "Hmm? Well, no, but it feels like it s off the skin, which is good enough when you just magic it away. Speaking of ing, could you e here? I told Aurora I would you, so I should do that before I fet," Shimmer says, moving over to me. I don't see any soap or anything for her to me with, but the rich always have funny ways of doing things. I wouldn't be surprised if she pulls out the needed supplies from some hidden ring. Yuki sure had hers hidden well.

  When Shimmer gets close enough to touch me, soap appears in her hands, and with a geouch, she starts to work it into my skin. She then starts on my arms as the water begins to steam, the heat surrounding us and filling us.

  Slowly, she works up my arms and to my chest, where she doesn't shy away from ing my breasts. Just a small smile as she tests their weight in her hands before washing them. The warm hands move down to my tummy, still fat from the pregnancy.

  "You're so cute when you're being pampered," Shimmer says. I'm not sure what she means; I look exactly the same as I normally do. " you float on your back? It'll make getting your long legs easier. If you don't want to, I'm more than happy to go uer to them."

  I was a bit flicted about whether I should make her work harder or just rex. My small hesitation was all she o go uhe water.

  Shimmer decides to start with my toes, w eae slowly.

  " you stop that? It tickles," I say, holding back my ughter. I don't think she hears me as she switches feet and starts agaiing each little toe before w up my legs. Teasing up my ihigh and stopping just before she reaches my vagina.

  I give out a small moan just before her head pops up over the water and into the ever-increasing steam above.

  "It's finally getting warm," Shimmer says with a smile. "Now, I want to see your wings. Could you spread them for me, please?"

  Happy to see she's going all the way, I open them up, careful not to let them catch the warm air and send me up.

  "Damn, that is a beautiful sight," She says, giving me a careful look. "Dragons really do have pretty wings; then add the light and shifting colors. Oh, you are a pretty woman, Alzi."

  "Thanks," I mumble back. I'm not sure how Shimmer is seeing through all the steam, but I do feel her teou the tip of my right wing. Moving ever so carefully over them.

  How long is this going to take?

  ...

  A long time. She took care to get both sides of my wings, not willing to miss anything as she went over them. The temperature ih tio rise, yet the water never boiled. Just a wonderful heat moving through me. I could feel a strange weight pressing me down, stantly growing with the temperature. I guess that is what Shimmer was talking about when she said pressure.

  I feel her get the st spot at the base of my wings, so I start to fold them, ready to decide whether to wash Shimmer.

  "No, keep them open. I o get your back still," Shimmer says. Quickly fixing the and. "Wait, sorry. Please keep them open. I would like to get your back."

  I follow her ask. 't be rude when others try to limit their ands.

  Twe mounds press into me. Much rger than what was in that shirt before.

  "How?" I ask her in my surprise.

  "Kitsune's aren't the only ones with tricks," Shimmer whispers, pressing into my back. "Now, I'm sorry to do this, but you 't look behind you. Ok, just rex into my body. You've worked so hard this st decade. Making er after er feel good. It's your turn now. Just let me take care of you." ies into my ear.

  I naturally do as she says. The heat and soft body make my eyes heavy as I fall back.

  "Good girl. Just like that. This is how a dragon of your beauty should be treated. Surrounded with heat and soft fertile bodies," she tio say to my soul. A gentle hand s around my member, slowly w my stiff shaft. "Let your wives take care of you. I'm here for you. Not the throne or princess or power. You. I wouldn't be surprised if another wife or two has the same goal. Find them and use them. Make them pamper you; let us pamper you. My pretty dragon."

  Her voice lulls me to sleep slowly. Her ability to op talking works wonders on my ears, and my body sinks farther and farther into the soft heat around me.

  ...

  "The dragon wakes," floats into my ear. The air around me is practically begging to burn as I y on a soft body, arms around my waist. "Did you have a good rest?"

  "Yes, how is this possible?" I ask with a small yawn.

  "When you get enough csses, you'll find there are a lot of dangerous things you do," Shimmer says, back to her normal voice. "I'm sorry about the game earlier. Everyone here has been traio be serious about things. Pying games that children normally py will be off-putting. It normally takes alcohol to get us to loosen up. Oh, and you look around now. I don't think that and is still going, but I wouldn't mind my wife looking at me."

  "Why did you marry the Princess just for me?" I ask.

  "I'm sorry about that, Alzi. But I 't say that yet. I don't even know all the reasons. But know the important reason is because I love you. Just know I want you to be happy. Now, I'm sure everyone in the house is worried about all the mana in this bath, so I'm going to start cooling it down. Sorry, but everything is going to be freezing for a while till you get used to the normal temperature. The worst part about all of this."

  The heat left in an instant. One sed, I'm all cozy on top of the soft-toned body. The , I turn over and bury myself in her for a sembnce of warmth in this cold, cruel world. We shiver together, her hand stroking my long, flowing hair.

  "Sorry, dear. It'll be fine soon," Shimmer assures me.
