Finding Teriana wasn't very difficult. And that was even before Matt's newfound connection to the temple and the surrounding area. Even without that particular cheat code, he knew she was in the garden.
It makes sense, really. All those centuries of not having access to something this beautiful...
Matt found himself smiling. He couldn't have asked for a better base of operations as it were. His love of nature was one of the things that immediately drew him to the goddess in the first place and this room was nature incarnate. Second only to the Garden of Eden itself as far as he was concerned.
It was the perfect representation of Teriana.
It was so easy to forget. So easy to take for granted just how gorgeous the deity was. So he decided to take the time and appreciate her.
To appreciate her pale, flawless skin, contrasting against her long, raven-colored silky hair. Her statuesque frame which only gave him more to appreciate as his eyes trailed over her curves. Her long legs. Her wide hips. Her thin waist. Her overflowing bust. Her dainty neck. The beauty of her gorgeous face.
She was femininity personified. Or deitified in her case. She was perfection.
"Master..." Teriana moaned breathily, looking over her shoulder to find Matt already there, kissing it softly.
"My goddess..." Matt purred, staring into Teriana's light hazel eyes, which only seemed to get lighter in her excitement.
"I can feel you, Master. I can feel you all over every inch of my body. I am not worthy of such attention."
"Are you forgetting what today is?" Matt asked with a chuckle, teasingly pulling on the deity's earlobe with his teeth. He had way more fun teasing her like this than he should have. He could feel her arousal skyrocketing. But he also knew she wouldn't act on it until he gave the word and even then, she would be restrained.
It was giving him what
he
wanted that satisfied her more than anything. And that was at least one thing they'd be working on today.
"I'm yours, Master," Teriana moaned softly, making a point of pressing against Matt. "Every part of me that you appreciate belongs to you. This is true regardless of the day."
Matt let out a chuckle, running his hands over Teriana's more than ample bust, taking full advantage of her flowing dress to reach inside to touch her directly. "Fair. But I've decided I want to focus on you specifically today. So that's what we're doing."
"Yes, Master... As you wish..."
"Ah-ah," Matt said playfully as he removed his roaming hands as quickly as he'd placed them there to begin with. "That's not what we're doing."
Teriana was still overflowing with lust, both literally
and
figuratively, but she still had the wherewithal to be confused by his actions and words. "What are we doing?"
"Your day. Your choice. What do you want from me?"
Teriana grinned widely and was about to answer when her breath was cut off by the sudden force of Matt's hand clasped around her throat. Despite the seemingly brutal action, Teriana's arousal only shot up further as her body quivered in response.
"Before you answer. Don't simply say you want me to brutally fuck you. Or you want me to tie you up. Or you want me to choke you with my cock after throttling the shit out of you. These things are going to happen anyway. Of course they are. What do you want from me
besides
what I would already give you?"
Teriana continued to smile when Matt released her and lovingly ran her fingers along her very likely sore throat. "But you give me everything I could desire already, Master. You leave me wanting for nothing other than to please you."
"Try. I know you are not as simple as you'd like me to believe. Think."
A coy grin slowly curled on Teriana's lips. "May I think on my knees beside you? With you petting my head? It would help me focus."
"Is that right?" Matt chuckled, gently patting his thigh. He could feel the surge of excitement from Teriana that rose anytime he gave her an order as she eagerly and somehow elegantly lowered herself into a kneeling position. With a soft purr, the goddess nuzzled her head against the offered thigh and Matt rewarded the action with some well deserved head pets.
If this were anyone else, Matt would have been skeptical about her intentions. After all, Teriana's head was quite close to his cock. But... it was Teriana. She was above such methods of subterfuge. He could already see her closing her eyes as she tried to think as ordered.
He knew it wouldn't be the easiest thing for her to do. After all, if there was a selfish bone in Teriana's body, he hadn't found it yet. But a little bit of selfishness is healthy.
"Oh? What was that?" He asked as he felt another small surge of excitement followed by... acceptance? Disappointment? It was hard to place but it definitely intrigued him.
"Nothing of importance, Master. I can find something better."
"And now you
have
to tell me." Matt couldn't remember a time he'd asked Teriana a direct question like that and she
hadn't
answered.
Teriana turned her head to look up at Matt with an almost... guilty expression. "I will if you wish, Master. But it is something that makes you uncomfortable. I'd rather do something we can both enjoy."
"Allow me to be the judge of what I don't find comfortable." Matt was stumped. What could Teriana possibly ask of him that he wouldn't want to do?
There was another pause before Teriana sighed deeply and let it out. "I would like you to manipulate our soul tie."
Matt's eyes bulged for a moment as he remembered what happened with that on Laila's day. His eyes narrowed unexpectedly and Teriana merely smiled back.
"As I said... I can think of something we'd both enjoy."
Matt gave Teriana a skeptical look. She was doing her best to play it off, but with their connection it was impossible to hide it from him. Even without showing it on her face, he could feel the massive wave of her disappointment.
"You really want this, don't you? Why?"
Teriana broke the eye contact and looked down at the floor, nuzzling against Matt's hand. "I am a deity, Master. My form was created by those who worshipped me. But I no longer have any worshippers. I now have my wonderful Master. I want to be recreated to your preferences as Mara was. I want to be perfect for you."
"You're already perfect, sweetheart," said Matt as he ran his fingers through her hair. "Surely you can feel how happy I am with you."
"Of course I can, Master. I can feel your love for me as well as your lust. This isn't meant to make you uncomfortable.
"It's meant to be my ultimate way of servicing you. Of knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am the perfection that I want to be for you. My complete and total submission. If that is not something that appeals to you, I understand. I understand that you want the three of us to have our own will outside of you. And literally changing my appearance goes against that philosophy. Even still, you asked me why I wanted it and that is my reason."
Matt's eyes narrowed again as he took in her words. But that's when it hit him. A loophole of sorts that would make everyone happy. The very concept of it was still a bit squicky to him, but he could make the best of it. In a slow, gentle motion, Matt caressed his goddess's cheek, earning a happy moan out of her. His hands then trailed lower and rested on her collar.
There was a familiar jolt of intimacy whenever he directly touched one of his familiars' collars. He now understood why. He smiled, admiring the collar as his fingers walked along the band causing Teriana to shudder in pleasure. Her collar was unique among the others. Less flashy. Literally.
Mara's was shiny and reflected red. Laila's was like a mirror and reflected everything. But Teriana's didn't reflect anything. It was a flat, black collar. It should have been boring compared to the others but he couldn't help but to find it fascinating. It wasn't just a normal shade of black. It was like... an
absolute
black. The black you'd assume to see in a black hole. If there was a difference in a black that was all colors combined and a black that was literally the absence of color, Teriana's collar was the latter.
Matt took a few more moments just to admire it as Teriana let out a few more soft moans. And then in one swift yet brutal motion, he took hold of the collar and pulled. The absolute black became a handle in his hand and extended to become a leash, just as Laila's had. The difference being that he'd been much more gentle with Laila's... at least to begin with...
He wasn't gentle with Teriana. He pulled on the soul tie with a firm grip and got the expected reaction.
"MASTER!" Teriana cried out in the throes of a powerful orgasm. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head and her body trembled and quivered uncontrollably.
Matt felt the sudden influx of power and information just as before. Only this time it wasn't as overwhelming. Both because he knew what to expect as well as Teriana's monster of an orgasm keeping his attention. She was beautiful. She was gorgeous. She was... perfect.
He scanned every inch of her body and it responded by making her cum yet again. The "settings" were there. All the things he could change. All the things he didn't need to. He didn't care if her worshippers were the ones that chose her form. They clearly knew beauty when they saw it. There was genuinely nothing he wanted to change, inside or out. He loved her exactly as she was, and he knew she could feel the sincerity of that belief.
So when he "saved" her current self and returned the soul tie, gently this time, he felt very satisfied to have gamed the system in a way. He didn't change her, but she should have felt that he didn't need to.
Teriana continued to pant on her knees with her hands clutching her chest as she came down from her climaxes. She flashed Matt the most genuine, appreciative smile he'd ever seen as she said, "Thank you, Master. Thank you so,
