As John sat on the couch watching the news, Penny came in with the mail and sat next to him, leaning back against the arm rest, and settling her legs on John's thighs. John used her legs as a drink holder, setting his beer bottle between her knees, and she dutifully shifted her legs a bit closer together to hold it. As she did so, John reached over and rubbed her feet.
"Mmmm," said Penny, smiling. She blew John a kiss, sending a touch of magic with it. John actually felt the touch her lips on his, and he smiled back.
Penny sifted through the mail, and started shifting through it. Mostly junk and a couple bills. Penny stopped at an envelope she didn't recognize, however. It appeared to be a vacation offer. Shrugging, she tore open the envelope and glanced over the contents, a pamphlet showing an ocean liner.
John took a drink of his beer as the TV show cut to commercial, and he glanced at the pamphlet. "Ha. I remember when we used to do stuff for vacation."
"I don't," said Penny. The two chuckled. The first vacation together they'd taken had been a cruise ship. Unfortunately, they caught a horrible flu the first day, and spent half the time confined to quarters. When they finally got better, a tropical storm kicked up and the ship had been forced to cut its route short. Still, they'd managed to buy enough souvenirs to impress their friends when they got back.
"Why don't we ever go places anymore?" said Penny. "You know, besides the lake."
"You don't like the lake?"
"I love the lake. But the past five years, that's the only place we've been. It would be nice to go, I dunno, hiking at Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon, or go to the Bahamas, or to Ireland like we always said we would. Hell, even just do a roadtrip down the coast, y'know?"
"Yeah, I hear ya." John pat her leg. "Well. I mean, we could. Not too much really stopping us." He paused. "Except, you know, America getting chopped up into a bunch of little kingdoms and travel between them now being a tremendous pain the ass."
"Queendoms," said Penny. "They're called Queendoms now."
"Ah, right. Still. The Cult Wars were three years ago. You'd think they could ease up a little. Travel would sure help the economy."
"Yeah," said Penny. "Just be grateful we don't live on the East Coast. My sister says they keep men on leashes and all fours over there."
John grimaced. "That's really bad for the knees."
Penny smirked. "I'm sure it's not really like that. She likes to exaggerate."
"So, how's her husband doing?"
Penny's smile faltered a bit. "She tells me he's... adjusting... if slowly." She hesitated a bit, but then said. "She also has a new boyfriend, too, which I'm sure complicates things."
John grimaced again, but he patted Penny's leg again. He took her hand and kissed it, giving her a warm smile. "Good thing I ended up with the nice sister."
Penny grinned slightly, and winked. John jumped as he felt a gentle slap on his balls, more startling than actually painful. "You sure about that?"
The two chuckled, and John turned back to the TV while Penny sighed and looked at the pamphlet again. She had really only looked at the pictures so far, a generic looking luxury liner, set against the backdrop of the Alaskan coastline. Then she took a second glance at the pictures inside. She blinked. She'd noticed the men in the pictures being topless, strapping hunks no doubt intended to entice a female, or gay male, customer base. Then she looked a little closer and noticed they weren't just topless. They were naked! All of them! The pictures had simply been staged to cover the men's general groin area. Despite a decade or so of Sex Magic, full nudity was still taboo to show in some countries, even though women could easily see men naked at a whim.
Penny turned back to the front of the pamphlet and gave the title a look. She raised her eyebrows in slight surprise. "Adults Only Cruise," she said. "Enjoy a lovely, scenic tour of the West Coast, and while you do, enjoy the delightful buffet of male entertainment! Your husband, boyfriend, or sub won't need to pack, as he won't be needing clothes, just a full load to give you, and the other ladies, lots of energy!"
John turned to Penny and gave her an inquiring look. "What?"
Penny read through the pamphlet. "Oh, wow. This is an actual Sex Magic themed cruise! Let's see, males kept nude, recommend light clothing for women, general agreement that all women can lightly tease men, but only their partners can decide what happens to them otherwise. Polyamorous outlook is recommended, though monogamous couples can participate with the understanding that privacy is not—okay, blahblahblah, health checks required, signed waivers necessary, yaddayadda, security on hand. Huh."
"So, what is it, just, women bring guys along, and the guys serve them?"
"Well, not really serving, although I'm sure you can. Just, you know, ladies hanging out, enjoying being dominant, men enjoying being teased. Here, take a look." John took the pamphlet and started reading through it. Penny watched her husband, then grinned. As he read, she saw a glimpse of his thoughts, of being made to kneel before Penny and a couple other women, giving them foot massages, while they all gave his penis little zaps with their magic to spur him on. She sensed his cock start to get a little hard as he thought of the possibilities.
John knew very well his wife could sense this, but they'd been married for seven years now, and Penny had had Sex Magic for six of them. They were both more than used to each other by now, and Penny even linked John to her own thoughts once in a while, showing him some of her own deepest, secret fantasies. If anything, such an intimate psychic connection had saved their marriage during the tense early years of the Magic.
It helped, of course, that Penny hadn't let the magic turn her into a psycho-domme. But then, that wasn't actually as common an occurrence as the media liked to make people think. Sure, there were times even the most tender and caring woman wanted the cathartic release of unleashing the inner sadist, but as long as there was genuine trust, even the most stubborn man could learn just how fun it was to indulge that sadist now and again. Likewise, more than a few women were quite happy to let their husbands and boyfriends get a little "pay back" later for such indulgences.
"I'm sensing some interest," said Penny. She held his beer bottle as she moved her leg to press her calf against his crotch.
John shifted uncomfortably a bit as his cock tried to grow fully erect in the confines of his jeans, going from downward flaccid to upwards erect. Penny helped him out, using her magic to telekinetically pull his cock into a more comfortable position, were it could swell fully.
"Thanks," he said softly, and she patted his hand with a smile. She listened to his erection pulse as he finished reading.
