Balduran released a noise halfway between a victorious chuckle and a hungry moan. Tav’s whole body seemed to hum with wanton need. She practically slurped the first tentacle she could get her hands on into her mouth to suck on. Tav had always had an oral fixation. From ripping into the flesh of her enemies to her ex-vampire lover. She’d thought about getting Balduran’s tentacles in her mouth many times. Fuck. So good. Her hands stroked up and down the tentacle, caressing it against her body. She cupped her breasts together around the tentacle, lost to desire, and she whimpered at the sudden presence of two tentacles at her mons. Balduran was delighted at how utterly voracious his little Bhaalspawn was. She never did anything in half measures, and that apparently extended to embracing her carnal urges. Once Tav committed to something, she charged ahead, horns first, and without mercy. She threw a hand down to take hold of one of Balduran’s lower tentacles like she intended to stuff it inside her. Tav clearly did, but Balduran beat her to it with another tentacle. He slithered it between her wet nether lips and crooked it teasingly inside her. Tav moaned around the warm appendage in her mouth and bore down on Balduran. She opened her eyes to lustfully demand her partner for more. Please, Bal. She begged him to give her everything he promised. Not just amazing sex, but the connection she desperately craved. She had all but given up on ever having such a connection after Astarion. Balduran promised to be her partner in every way, and Tav wanted that so badly she could cry. 

His hands and mind on and in her felt so good, but the promise of trusting he would never walk away from her held more value for her than anything else. He felt the undercurrent of fear and hope within her. Fear she would end up alone, or that he would leave her like Astarion did. She hoped that he wouldn’t, and that she could trust the conviction in his eyes. The Emperor slid his tentacle from her pussy and pulled the one from her mouth with a wet noise, earning a disappointed grumble from Tav. She soon chuckled when her body lifted weightlessly up from his lap. The Mindflayer suspended her there and levitated up to join her. He slowly glided around her and teased her with how close he was without touching her. You asked me to ‘fuck you senseless’, but that isn’t what you truly want. I know what you truly need. Intimacy. Tenderness. Trust. He summoned her with a roll of his wrist and held the insecure Bhaalspawn to his lithe torso. She was surrounded by his arms and tentacles and the warm tingle of his mind. The mood had become tender, and Tav smiled bashfully. His hands cupped her elbows and they slowly twirled in the air. Since the moment I chose you as my ally, I have never lied to you or left your side. You and I have a partnership that no one else could emulate. Balduran caressed her mind with his. A pleasant shiver rippled down her spine and made her shudder with ecstasy. If she wasn’t weightless, she would have buckled under the intensity of his hunger for her. Open your mind to me, completely, and I will treasure you for eternity. Baldur’s Gate is ours, and not even the father of murder can keep you from my embrace. 

Tav nodded, tears beading at the corner of her eyes as she took hold of his shoulders. 

“You better mean this mushy shit, Bal. Because if you change your mind, I’m going to turn you into calamari.” His answer came without words, but with a tidal wave of commitment and possession. There was a finality in the way he surrounded her in his claim, that she felt there wouldn’t have been any escape for her if she wanted it. 

Not that she did, of course. 

Tav bit her bottom lip under the way his mind filled her with just how much he already viewed her as being his. Like, this wasn’t just a whim of his, but something he’d spent time planning. Of course, I planned this. He chuckled in her mind. Balduran fanned the embers of her desire by teasing her right nipple with the back of his fingers. Her teat hardened, and she relished the way he pinched and toyed with it between his supple fingers. It was only a matter of time until I succeeded in bringing you to this moment. I knew we were meant for more. I simply had to be patient and ready for the moment when you realised this as well. “You arrogant son of a bitch.” She sniggered and rolled her eyes at him. He simply cocked his bulbous head to one side as if to say ‘and?’ 

She sniffled and reeled herself into his slender body. He parted his tentacles so she could easily nestle her face into the crook of his neck. This allowed them to slither down her back and play with her blue body. She sighed happily as her legs were lifted so she could straddle his hips. “You speak with such confidence; I believe you mean all of that.” His hands moved to splay across her ass cheeks, and he lifted her up higher so she had to look down at his face. Of course. I don’t just speak with confidence, Tav. She gasped, having not tracked the tentacle he snuck down between their bodies until he was penetrating her. I speak with authority. Tav cackled at his choice of words, only to moan and feel her body sing as he pumped his tentacle with ‘authority’ into her. A second tentacle slithered around her waist and down to target her clit. She barely opened her mouth before she nearly gagged on another tentacle. Her lips grinned around the meaty intrusion, and she writhed in his powerful hold. The trilling sound of pleasure hummed out from her Ilithid lover, and they writhed together in the air. Wet sliding of flesh, and thrumming psychic pleasure bounced back and forth. That recently dormant part of her mind was sparking with stimulation, and Balduran used his dominance of her mind to change her reality.
