Miria swallowed. "Uhm. W-Why?" She said, staring wide eyed down at Claire, who blushed and looked away.

"W-well. You need to level up faster, a-and. I-I'm pretty sure that's what your class is supposed to do. P-pin down cute girls a-and." She licked her lips and took a breath. "P-put eggs in them."

"Well. I mean, yeah, that's w-what I gathered too." Miria sighed. "...But, are you sure that's a good idea? Like..." She brought up an array of her stats and abilities.

Claire blinked and read through the list - and then broke down laughing. "Pffft! Sexual motor control!? Hahaha, what!?" She said, while Miria pouted.

"Hey, don't laugh! This wasn't my idea! Besides, I'm trying to show you I'm some kind of sex monster over here, c'mon!" She huffs out, which only makes Claire laugh harder.

"Hahaha! Yeah, I'm real scared of your womb tickler there." She teases, clutching her sides.

Miria pouted all the harder, trying to glare. "Well maybe you should be! This shit is straight out of a fucking hentai! Like, what if my 'aphrodisiac slime' there proves addictive? Or my pheromones? You could get really hurt!"

That wrings another snicker out of Claire. "Snrrrrk. Okay, okay, sorry, it's just." She shakes her head. "I mean, I guess I knew you'd have something like that... I dunno, it still seems silly though." She takes a deep breath and lets it out. "Okay, alright. Serious Claire now. Yeah." She chews on her lip for a moment. "You know, I was actually pretty scared of you when you first showed up at my door? You reassured me a bit with the banter about the sword, but even then I only opened the door cause I was scared you'd get mad and break it down if I didn't..." She shook her head. "Well, look, I learned better quick, okay? You're a good person Miria. Dumb sometimes, maybe, but as you said let's not play the blame game. I know you're not gonna hurt me. You said it earlier, even with these abilities we still get input into who we are, right? I think you're a good person, and you'll always choose to be a good person, and that you'll know to stop before anything gets really dangerous. And maybe march into the woods and get yourself hurt over it occasionally, but whatever, we all have our flaws, and I'll bail you out when you do. Besides, I've used drugs before - Weed and hallucinogens, some stimulants. I know what to watch out for."

Miria chewed on her lip for a moment. "...I'm still worried about it, but okay, I see your point..." She sighed. "Well, the 'servitor eggs' costs me 50 essence to use, and I don't have that right now. And even if I did, there's still the whole 'need to take care of and protect' the thing - it'd take almost a week to grow and another week to mature, anyway, and I'm still worried about the physical effects on you. And like, having kids is a big responsibility, you know..." She said, pouting as Claire tried to hold in another snicker. "...Tell you what, though. Lets start with some light domming and see where things go from there. I do have Dominance as a stat after all, I'm pretty sure that's not just for show." She shifts her stance and smirks a little. "A Princess has to take her time breaking in a new Broodmother. It's not something to rush." She says, and Claire's cheeks color and her eyebrows raise.

"...Oh yeah? I still think you'd get experience faster if we just went for it..." Claire replies, blush spreading, while Miria's hands descend on her shoulders and hips.

"Mmmm. Maybe you need to learn how powerful denial can be, then." Miria says, her smaller hands taking Claires, lifting them to her face so she can kiss them and rub them against her cheeks, then higher for her larger hands to take hold of. She raises them over Claire's head, her smaller hands guiding the dryads hips back as Miria pins her to a wall. "Do you know how safewords work? The traffic light ones, specifically?" She asks, and Claire swallows and shakes her head. "It's simple. We have four of them - Red, Yellow, Green, and Mercy. Red means we stop everything immediately and chill for a bit, use it if you really need out of whatever we're doing. Yellow means stop and talk things out, and then we can continue - use it if you need to break scene to communicate or adjust. Green means things are fine, you use that one mainly when I ask how you're doing and you want to keep going. And Mercy is for when you want to slow things down without breaking scene. Got it?" She says, and Claire bites her lip and nods.

"Red, yellow, green, and mercy. Got it, Miss." She says, squirming a little as Miria's lower arms stroke her hips and sides, lightly teasing her belly. "I-I! Still think j-just using the eggs would be faster, th-though...!"

Miria smirks and opens her character sheet. "Would you look at that - I've already gained 6% class experience from that level I bought - and that was like half an hour ago. I've never gained class experience that fast. Oh, and there goes Dominance, ticking up past 30%..." She raises an eyebrow at Claire. "You want to withdraw that objection?" She teases, transferring both of Claire's wrists into one of her larger hands and freeing the other to cup her chin.

Claire swallow and pulls at Miria's grip where she pins her to the wall. "I-I! W-well. I-I guess...!"

Miria laughs softly. "You guess? See, the correct response there is 'Yes Mistress!' But that's alright." She means down to whisper in Claire's ear. "We'll work on that. For now, when was the last time you masturbated? True answers only."

Claire's face burns. "A-a couple days ago..."

"Mmm, good and pent up then? Perfect. Well, new rule. I want you to touch yourself like that again for me tonight - but no orgasms. Edge yourself for me, think about being a good little Broodmother, and I'll make you cum when I feel like it. How does that sound?" Miria says, grinning hungrily...

"...Terrible. B-but, I'll do it..." whines Claire, blush reaching her neck now, eyes wide...

"Good girl! Now, lets start with some light teasing. Go on, spread your legs for me..." Miria says, one of her hands stroking down towards Claire's sex, then tracing down over her inner thigh, just a half inch away, while Claire slowly obeys, legs parting. "Good girl! Very good..." Miria said, leaning in to steal a kiss, working Claire's mouth over while her hand between Claire's legs stroked repeatedly up towards her pussy, not quite touching it, drawing away again and again...

------------

"Uuuuuuuugggggghhhh!" Claire groaned, laying across Miria's lap while she squirmed and rubbed her thighs together. "How did you get me sooo horny? You barely even touched me! I'm soaking..." She whined, while Miria's hand stroked soothingly through her hair.

"I do know a thing or two about domming, you know. Even if I used to be more of a sub... Though, actually, I did get kind of carried away there. Should have talked kinks and limits first... How did you feel about all that? I'm pretty sure you enjoyed it, but we should double check." Miria asked.

Claire pouted up at her. "I haaaaaaated it. It was so frustrating... It was really hot though. So, keep doing it, I guess." She moaned out, squirming and closing her eyes.

Miria giggled. "Glad to hear it. Do remember to let me know if that changes, alright?" She said, and Claire nodded. "Excellent. Now, I'm already over 30% class XP. How's your mana?"

Claire sighed. "I have, like, 4. But that's enough for a couple of healing spells... And there's still some light left in the day. You want to go grind for some essence?" She says, and Miria nods.

"Yeah, lets do it." She smacks Claire on the butt, and the dryad squeaks and springs to her feet.

"H-Heyyy! You-!" She protests, while Miria smirks at her. "Ugh! Fine." She chews on her lip. "Uh, I've been thinking, though. Doesn't that stuff about safewords, like, kinda defeat the point of me submitting?" She says, and Mira rolls her eyes.
"Yeah, that sentiment comes up a lot. And no offense, but obviously I don't agree at all. The point of domming isn't to *force* a sub to obey, but to make them *want* to. And to that end, safewords are a valuable tool for insurance - they let me push a bit harder, being confident you know how to get out if you need to so I don;t hurt you." She smirks. "For example - you didn't ask for mercy when I wanted you to edge earlier, did you?"

Claire pouts. "N-nooo...?"

Miria's grin widens. "Do you want to now? Give me a cute little 'Mercy' and beg me to let you cum, and I will."

Claire closes her eyes, face burning. "...You're so evil...!"

That merits a laugh from Miria, and a kiss on the cheek. "Aren't I? Well, freshen up, change your panties, grab Chomper and get ready, and lets go kill some monsters, eh?"
