Life as a Royal’s Breeding Partner

Chapter 121 – A Warm Bath

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

Suddenly, a hand grasps mine, forcing it open and intertwining 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 to drag along the gravel path. Well, all of us, really. My weird walking bonus isn't just for heels, but that is where it shines the most.

I don't have anywhere I would really like to go, mainly just back to my 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 pulling me to a stop just inside.

"Ready for a bath?" She asks.

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

"I'll lead the way then," she says, stepping out in front and letting my hand go. She leads me through the halls towards the front. Stopping a bit short of the front entrance, Shimmer takes a right and walks through a door. I follow her into the changing 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 next second, my wrap is gone, and underwear, likely to magic.

"The maids work quickly," Shimmer says, giving out a small laugh at my surprise. "Let's get in the bath. I want to see how hot you can 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 under the water, watching us walk in.

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

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

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

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

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

"Not if I increase the pressure in the room. Can 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 lay in a fire and be fine. Not even my long hair would burn away.

"Good, the heat is more enjoyable with others. Elora can take a bit more than the others 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. Boring really. You should feel the heat seeping in deep, all through your body. Letting it do the job of cleaning."

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

"Hmm? Well, no, but it feels like it cleans off the skin, which is good enough when you can just magic it away. Speaking of cleaning, could you come here? I told Aurora I would clean you, so I should do that before I forget," Shimmer says, moving over to me. I don't see any soap or anything for her to clean 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 gentle touch, 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 cleaning 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. "Can 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 underwater to clean them."

I was a bit conflicted about whether I should make her work harder or just relax. My small hesitation was all she needed to go under the water.

Shimmer decides to start with my toes, working each one slowly.

"Can you stop that? It tickles," I say, holding back my laughter. I don't think she hears me as she switches feet and starts again, getting each little toe before working up my legs. Teasing up my inner thigh 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 tender touch on 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 in the bath continued to rise, yet the water never boiled. Just a wonderful heat moving through me. I could feel a strange weight pressing me down, constantly growing with the temperature. I guess that is what Shimmer was talking about when she said pressure.

I feel her get the last 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 need to get your back still," Shimmer says. Quickly fixing the command. "Wait, sorry. Please keep them open. I would like to get your back."

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

Two large mounds press into me. Much larger 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 can't look behind you. Ok, just relax into my body. You've worked so hard this last decade. Making customer after customer feel good. It's your turn now. Just let me take care of you." Cronies 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 continues to say to my soul. A gentle hand wraps around my member, slowly working 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 never stop 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 lay 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 classes, you'll find there are a lot of dangerous things you can do," Shimmer says, back to her normal voice. "I'm sorry about the game earlier. Everyone here has been trained to be serious about things. Playing games that children normally play will be off-putting. It normally takes alcohol to get us to loosen up. Oh, and you can look around now. I don't think that command 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 can'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 second, I'm all cozy on top of the soft-toned body. The next, I turn over and bury myself in her for a semblance 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.
