Elise's mouth curled up into a sensuous smile. "Very good. Now, let's see what we're working with."
"Huh?" He wasn't wearing a belt, and found out fast that Elise was a rather perceptive sort of Bat. With unbelievably quick and nimble fingers, she unbuttoned and unzipped his pants, grabbed them and his underwear, and pulled them down. The man's fairly average-sized dick had enough time to bounce once before she quite suddenly sucked it into her mouth. She was very, very good at this, and his reaction told her that she was performing right up to her normal standards. He half-collapsed against the narrow slice of blank wall next to him, gasping and panting with pleasure as his cock grew to full hardness against her tongue.
She pulled back, slightly, and pulled a measuring tape out of her pocket. Sucking gently on the tip to keep him hard, she meticulously got the measure of his girth. No point in making one that would just fall off, was there? She took a mental note of the number, disappointingly average, then reached up with her right hand to gently pump him while she reached into her other pocket with her left. "I just need you to pay so that I can get started on the project, it sounds just perfect for you."
She was now holding a card reader in her left hand, typing the charge in with experienced fingers, and holding it up for him to tap or swipe his card. He did so without hesitation, whimpering in helpless pleasure. With a click and a whirr, the receipt printed. Elise promptly stopped what she was doing, stood, and ripped off the merchant copy of the receipt to hand over to sign. He did as he came down off of the edging high, his whimpers of pleasure turning to disappointment as she helped him pull his pants back up. "Wh... what? You're just going to leave me hanging like that?"
"Oh, this isn't that kind of place. I'm here to make sure your order is the best it can possibly be, no use having you cum early and ruining the effort."
Then he looked at the receipt. "Twenty-five hundred dollars? What the heck, you wrote fifty over here!"
"Of course, that tag is in Gold. You didn't think a bespoke magical charm would be cheaper than some standard dildoes, did you? Now go ahead and get cleaned up, I will start planning your project right away. If you want me to call you when it's ready, just write your number here." Grumbling, he did so, then left the shop and turned right. Whether he was going to the parking lot, bus stop, or red light district made no difference to Elise. She was ready to get to work.
A sheet of blank paper, an easy-to-erase pencil, and she was off to the races. The particular enchantment was not a simple one, involving three or four uncommon materials she'd need to make sure she had enough of. Wasting any would simply not do. A rune for her personal markt, a rune for telekinesis, a rune for multiplication, a rune for pleasure, a rune to hold charge, yet another one for the link to the wearer's will. All on one ring, empowered and stabilized by her powers. A Trinket Enchanter focusing on sex was a narrow kind of niche, so it let her be much more powerful within it. Given the niche's popularity, however, she never needed to worry about going hungry.
Ghost hand enchantment meant the base ring had to be iron, wrought without ever bringing the material hot enough to glow. The charge channels would have to be one of those fifty Gold Coins to last long enough, even set up as this one would be to gather ambient energies and from movement. A second of those Gold Coins made a ring core, then etching. In all, the price the man had paid was probably on the cheap side for the kind and quality of the work she did, but Elise wasn't greedy. She lived comfortably by nearly any measure with plenty of buffer, so why price herself out of the range of her customers?
The rest of the afternoon was relatively quiet. One of the (frankly boring) floor models sold for much less than her good stuff, and removing the curse was a matter of a few moments. There were always more Threads of Animation in stock, though, making brooms do their own work for an hour a day was always popular. Even with technological equivalents available. Style, and all of that.
Her hours at the shop always ended at 3 PM so that she could get the real work done at home. All the good materials were there, including her secret ingredient. Bat Wing from the Seattle Dungeon was cheap and common, but it let her infuse a certain amount of herself into the product. Some said it made them a bit flighty, but when you were talking about sex toys the pride and mischief made enough variation to keep them fun.
There were some likely looking lads on the bus ride home, too. Some flirting and some obvious willingness led to her gathering two more phone numbers to try later. Maybe one would make a good top, those were sparse on the ground. Once home, it was time to get to the fun part. Comfortably, too. State of mind was important for these things, and it was always best to be dressed for the occasion. Naked. Off came the harness and leather top, her boobs bouncing free. Sensitive, too, it always took her a moment to refocus from that particular jiggle. It was also important to remove magical interference, so she reached between her legs to take the last bit off. Her chastity cage.
To all appearances and to herself, Elise was a woman. The fact that below the belt she had a (rather nice) penis had nothing at all to do with her sense of self. Even if it was bigger than her latest customer's own. He was cute, though, maybe she'd let him pound her a bit if he was interested. It was hard sometimes to find people who were accepting, and this particular cage was meant to lock up about half of the horny feelings. Of course, that meant it had to go somewhere, and what couldn't be quietly dissipated came rushing right back. Her penis, freed from both the physical restraint and the magical one, instantly sprang to ramrod hardness. Some people might find the unruly speed with which she came to be embarrassing. Not so Elise, she loved every second of it along with the fact that she wasted no time going from zero to finish. This was a particularly good one, too, the partial blowjob she'd given the guy had her all hot and bothered even through the cage. When she came less than a minute later, laying on her couch, it was with enough force to cover her own impressive cleavage with the stuff.
One shower later, and she was ready to actually get started. Getting cum out of fur wasn't always the easiest thing in the world, but she'd long since found a good shampoo that did it. One which she probably needed to stock back up on.
Her table already had its tools laid out just the way she liked them. Not like she had a roommate to worry about at the moment, so she didn't ever put them away. Cold Iron, Bat Wing, Succubus Fang, Gold, Silver, and Obsidian. Press flat, fill, roll over, bend into a ring, imbue, and bind. Distantly, she thought she heard a bell, but that wasn't important.
Etch tool, six runes. Kinesis, Power, Will, Sex, Mischief, and her maker's mark. Every one had to be imbued just right, linked together in a free-flowing ring circuit with as little resistance as possible. It simply would not do for this ring to heat up too much over time. Burns were generally not conducive to erotic experiences, especially not THERE, and if it got too bad then the Cold Iron would lose its properties. One quick pulse of mana to check, all clear and all six runes glowed appropriately, which meant that it was time for finishing touches. There was another bell, which she also ignored.
Iron typically didn't respond all that well to being sanded, but then again her sandpaper wasn't exactly typical either. Three passes with three successive polishing cloths made sure that it would be nice and smooth, no rough spots to chafe delicate parts. An extra cleaning made sure that all the residual dusts and residues were taken off. Not washed away or discarded, of course, there was still magic in them, but gathered in a powder bag that she would eventually figure out something to do with. Preferably before she completely filled it, like the other two waiting in her materials closet. The runes gleamed, the metal shone, and yet a third bell rang.
It was done! She blinked, stood, and stretched. Her back protested, her forearms ached, and she found that there was a headache forming to go with them. A glance at the clock said why. That first bell had been meant to make her pause and have dinner. The second was for her to stop her work and clean up. This last one was her alert to go to sleep so that she'd be able to get to work tomorrow. Oops. This would NORMALLY be where she plugged one of her Mana Batteries into the table to charge the new trinket up, but all things considered that wasn't the play this time. A quick primer of mana from her to get things properly moving, and it was soaking in ambient power like it should. Drop it on the circle for that on her enchanting table, and it would be ready for testing... tomorrow, after work.
