Author's Note:
A Drow's Dilemma began as a one-on-one roleplaying project and has been converted into a chapter-by-chapter format for weekly posting with the permission and assistance from my partner. It will contain a considerable amount of sexual themes such as femdom, lesbian, straight, 'reverse' rape, BDSM, group sex, romance, and other themes. The main goal of the story, however, is to tell an epic tale of adventures, gods and goddesses, fae, and nymphomaniacs. This episode and every episode to come will be available for free on Literotica for the foreseeable future. All characters that engage in sexual or suggestive situations are mentally and sexually mature: the human equivalent of 18 for their race.

Episode 43: 'Massage'
"That was... refreshing." Selene admitted when she and Caleldir reached the bedroom after escaping socialization with the other party. "Doing the rituals and all, I mean. Not that crowd downstairs." She would have gone so far as to call it 'fun,' but not out loud and definitely not to Caleldir.
Caleldir let out a relaxed sigh as he leaned back in a chair by the fireside. "I very much enjoyed working with you, Selene." He said honestly. "By myself, I am quite weak, but with your strength, together the two of us can do pretty much anything. So, I would like to thank you." He gave her a lopsided smile. "We will have to be sure to train up our daughter - I can call her our daughter, right? - to be a powerful magus in her own right. With her ancestry on both sides, she should be among the greats."
Selene gave Caleldir a haughty smirk. The expression only intensified when he went on to say that their daughter could be one of the greats. "You may call her our daughter, I suppose." She allowed.
A slight smile crossed Caleldir's face. It was nice that the prickly drow would allow him to be a father. "We will certainly do our best to make sure she does not inherit my unfortunate complexion at least." He joked. Then, he dropped the veil and began to be surrounded by that faerie glow. "Of course, we will insure that she gets my peerless good looks." He said, only half-joking.
Selene then hesitated, as if trying to decide what to do with herself. What she really wanted was... fuck it, Selene did what she wanted, Caleldir's opinion be damned. She sat down on the floor in front of the fire. "You should come down here and give me one of your massages." Selene told him in a voice that brooked no argument.
Selene's order took him slightly by surprise, but he swiftly complied. "Of course, milady." He said with solemnity. Kneeling on the floor behind her, Caleldir rubbed his hands together before placing them on her shoulders. For a moment, he simply left them there, before he started artfully kneading her back. Of course, he was not the best at this, but working in some small bit of his charm magic would allow him to overcome that experience deficiency.
The younger drow let out a happy sigh when she felt his hands begin to knead at her flesh. It wasn't precisely the massage she wanted from him, of course. His hands were what she really wanted, and the good feelings he could channel through them. It was a good, dignified excuse to ask for him to caress her. Her clothing melted from her body to allow him unimpeded access to her flesh. She pulled her hair, which she had since let loose from the confines she'd put it in for the ritual, away from her back.
"You're going to have to get used to doing this." She told him idly. "Last time I was pregnant I had a lot of back pain near the end." He couldn't see this, but she bit her lip at the thoughts that came unbidden to her mind when she thought upon her last child. Even a drow could feel a mother's love - it was perhaps the only love they knew - though it was a perverted, self-absorbed thing.
"I think I can resign myself to that horrible fate." Caleldir said with a twinkle in his eye. "I will be sure to keep your back in excellent condition. Which, I can feel that it is right now." He continued his massage on her dark skin, savoring its smoothness. She did have quite a beautiful back and shoulders, just like the rest of her.
The pain in her heart propelled her to turn around to face Caleldir, though his hands had barely been on her for a few minutes. She placed a hand on his face to get him to look her in the eye and hold his gaze. "This one will live past thirty." Selene told him ardently. The words were more for her benefit than his. Perhaps if she convinced someone else, she could then convince herself.
Caleldir was taken somewhat off his guard. She seemed so very serious, and it was quite rare that she would put a hand to his face like that. He met her eyes with a steady expression. Oh dear. He had heard that Selene had had a daughter that had been purged, and apparently her deceased progeny was foremost in her mind. Understandably so. "I will insure it." He said with equal firmness. "And I know about cheating death. You have nothing to worry about."
Selene took a deep breath, and the intensity of her gaze melted from her features just as her breath slowly escaped her lips. Yes. He would know how to cheat death. Surely he would be able to stop any lasting harm from coming to their daughter. That was part of the reason why she was even letting him be so intimate with her instead of ignoring him as she might have done before learning of her pregnancy. If she could kindle this strange surface world's concept of a father's love for his child in Caleldir, then she could be sure of his protection. She would admit to herself no further connection to Ashyr's mate. For love, if found, was something to exploit.
The drow then turned back towards the hearth to let his hands continue to rove across her shoulders and back. "They destroyed her, body and soul." She whispered as she stared into the fire. "Made sure that she was utterly beyond me, even while I watched." Her hands fell to her stomach to cover the dark flesh protectively.
Although Caleldir did his best to continue his careful loosening of Selene's back muscles, as she spoke about what the Duskhaven's had done to her daughter his hands began to shake with anger. So, they were so determined to be evil that they used necromancy to prevent the poor girl from ever being brought back. That was cruelty without reason. He despised those cruel without purpose. "I promise that they will pay." He said grimly. "For justice demands that such crimes cannot go unpunished." He sighed.
A grim smile formed upon Selene's lips when Caleldir promised that the Duskhaven males would pay for their crimes. She liked the grim tone in his voice, and the way she could feel the subtle tremble of anger as his hands pressed against her flesh. There was a passion there that she, too, felt. It deepened the sort of... kinship she began to feel between the two of them. What could be a better way to unite people than with mutual pain and outrage? Selene's very drow mind could not think of a more effective way.
Then Selene leaned back again, and Caleldir protectively wrapped his arms around her. Sometimes, he forgot how small and slender she really was. He put a small kiss on her hair. "But let us not think of them right now. Rather, let us enjoy this little bit of time we have alone together."
"Yes." She agreed. There was something that she knew for a fact would take her mind off such terrible thoughts. Both of her hands grabbed at both of his. The left one pulled his hand up her body to one of her breasts. The other made him run his fingers through her womanhood. Despite the awful subject they had been discussing, her body had reacted favorably to the feel of his hands on her body and the promise of justice on his lips.
"Pleasure me." It was not quite a demand, but it was clear from Selene's voice that she didn't expect refusal.
Well, this was not a surprising turn of events. Caleldir was rather overdressed for this, though. His clothed melted away, and he pulled her onto his lap. "As you wish, my mistress." He whispered breathily into her ear. His right hand began circling around her left nipple, more teasing than anything else, but his left fingers were definitely not teasing. No, using their newly learned skill with such things, he worked his charm magic into them and slid inside her, working her clitoris with delicately forceful movements.
Selene purred against Caleldir. There was nothing quite like that charm magic that he could channel through his touch. She pressed her body into him in a rolling, sinuous motion that also pushed her breast more firmly in his hand. One of her arms came up to caress the back of his neck, the other shifted to her breast that was not being manipulated by him. She was warmed by the heat of him and the heat of the fire to the point where she felt languidly relaxed. Somehow the arousal that she also felt was not at odds with that relaxation.
