It was late afternoon and The Xhorhaus was surprisingly calm. The downtime was quite needed with all the upcoming plans and so all of the Mighty Nein are spending their time as they want to.

Caduceus was at his Tower, probably tending to the tree and pool. Drinking tea. Whatever he felt like, while Fjord was sitting next to him and meditating, connecting with Wildmother. Yasha and Beau decided to stroll the city and buy some flowers. It was a date but neither of them felt like saying it out loud. Nott went with Yeza for a big supplies hunt and was looking for trinkets for Luc.

Caleb was in his room, going over pages and pages of notes which he made at the last session with Essek. Books opened everywhere. He looked a little wild, because one thing was not getting into his head. As much as he tried, he felt like calling Essek and telling him that his notes are shit and that it does not make sense. But he decided against it since Essek really is a big help and great friend and much better Dunamancer than Caleb and he does not want to die a horrible death just because he can’t understand one thing. As a sensible person, Caleb decided to go to the kitchen, prepare some spread and tea (maybe some whiskey as well because why not) and for once in his life try to calm down and let the notes be notes for a moment before he will lose himself in them ultimately once again.

He went down to the kitchen and for a moment he wondered where is Frumpkin. The cat seemed to take a liking to Sprinkle lately and maybe they just ran around the house together. With Sprinkle in his mind his thoughts naturally lead to Jester. He wonders what she is doing. She probably is with Fjord and Caduceus or maybe spending some time with The Traveler. One could only wonder with her, but Caleb won’t lie that he would like to see her now. She always brings the sun whenever she goes. She is like the brightest star also. Not even The Beacon is brighter than her.

“Dumme Ideen ” He muttered for himself and went back to preparing his snack. His silly thoughts are just distracting him and he knows very well that they won’t even come to pass. She is too good for him. He is like a beggar and she is the beautiful goddess he worships in secret.

“Where is that cat?” He really tried to think of something else but to his doom he did not know one thing and he is in for a very interesting and emotional evening.

____________

Jester knew that everyone would be very busy today. They all have their looove and daaates or worship like Cad and Fjord (they probably cuddle during that but Jester pretends she does not know) and yes, Wildmother is very cool but you can’t talk to her like you can with The Traveler. She left Yasha and Beau to go to the city but told them to buy some flowers for her as art references. Nott and Yeza are…somewhere. But what really rattled her mind was what dear Mr. Widogast is doing. She even has no idea where Sprinkle is! What a day.

Before boredom could kill her, she decided to take her sketch book and draw. Trying to put together some new design for The Traveler pamphlets. Sketching flowers, trees, buildings..hands…eyes. Hands which delicately and teasingly hold the book, freckle close to the eye which can pierce through her soul, open it raw and take all of her. She sketched the lips, thinner bottom lip, fuller the upper one. Smirking a little at her, she almost could hear the chuckle. Jester promptly closes her sketch book and puts her face in hands. Groaning just a little bit, she went to the kitchen and took something sweet. She slaps herself on one of the couches and screams into the pillow. Her mind is full of copper hair, piercing blue eyes, long fingers slowly opening and closing the book.. Jester is blushing so much she can feel it. She screams into the pillow once more and then after a few little sobs and unheard words of “how unfair this is” she falls asleep.

“Where is that cat?” is what she hears when she slowly opens her eyes.

“Frumpkin?!” Caleb hisses. He is always very much overprotective over Frumpkin.

“Caleb? What are you doing here?” Jester slurs a little and she yawns and sits.

“Uh..uhm, Jester! What a surprise..I-I am looking for Frumpkin, but I will be going, Frumpkin definitely is somewhere and I won’t keep you from sleeping!” Caleb takes the stuff and tries to leave the kitchen as soon as possible. She is way too cute. Jester always was a funny sleeper, drooling over her chin. He noticed on many watches he took. But right now, cheeks purple-ish, eyes glassy, yawning. Her dress is a mess. Caleb has to leave. Right now.

“C-Caleb..why.. I am sorry if I startled you. I didn't mean to. Why don’t we eat together? I can see you have something to eat and I am hungry after my nap..hah..you know we..” she trailed off as she feels like he is going to reject her anyway. She does not understand why. They were always such good friends. Taking care of each other, fighting side by side, sharing secrets, books, food… He is not even looking at her. Why does it feel so tense right now?

“Jes..I think I will eat alone, I have a lot of work regarding some dunamancy research and Essek will teach me soon again and there is a thing which I do not understand and I need to understand it before next session so we can make some progress and.. I need to get away..” Caleb was talking at such a speed that even he did not believe it. He was so nervous and he is just making excuses even though they are true but excuses nonetheless and then he makes a mistake. He looks at her. She has tears in her lashes and Caleb’s mind does not help him when he thinks that she is still beautiful, tears sparkling like diamonds. No, sapphires in her case as they reflect her beautiful blue skin.
“Jester I..”

“Why don’t you want to be friends with me anymore Caleb? I thought we are friends through everything and you won’t even share a cupcake with me.. I-I just thought that you..liked me as best friend..” Jester hiccups and uses her sleeve to get the tears off her face. She does not want Caleb to see her cry. She looks horrible and can feel that her face is puffy and just..sad. The tears prickles her cheeks as ice as she does feel that Caleb's heart is made of ice now. “You danced with me and now..” she whispered.

Caleb had enough of his stupidity. He can feel the resolve leaving him as he watches her crumble. He really is a horrible man. He does not deserve her, but he wants to. And he has no idea what to do to deserve her but he will try. His mind functions well enough that his hands won’t just drop the stuff but with a quick spell the stuff is leaving his hands and ending nicely sitting on the table.

With a few quick steps he falls to his knees in front of the couch where she is sitting.

“Jester..” he whispers and he will be brave for once. He takes her hands which are cold as ice now and slightly warm his own hands.

“Why don’t you want to spend time with me Caleb?” Jester sniffles.

“Jester I do-”

“No one wants to spend time with me.” She whispers and Caleb is at the end of his wit’s..

“If I could I would spend every second of every day with you..” he whispers. He is not so brave after all.

“What?” Jester snaps her head to look at Caleb but he is watching at their hands. Those hands warm her, those long fingers brushing over her knuckles and sending shivers through her whole body. “Please Caleb..tell me what you just said!”

“I want to spend every second with you!” He almost screams and Jester just..stares. She knows Caleb needs his time to put his thoughts to words. But he just starts to talk.
“I want to spend every second with you.. I want to see you smile, I want to dance waltz with you and watch you cuddle Frumpkin. I want to see you sleep and drool all over your pillow. Give you as many cupcakes as you want and make as many projections of your wild ideas as possible. I yearn for you Jester… You occupy my waking moments. And the dreams too as few as I have left.” Caleb finds himself out of breath. He looks Jester in the eyes and continues. “I see you in the day sky, which is blue as your skin. The night sky is as blue as your hair. The stars are like the jewels you wear. You are like a sapphire. Rarest and most treasured of them all. But I want that sapphire for myself. I am a selfish man.”

Jester is..speachless. She is sure she is still asleep because just a minute ago she was certain that Caleb has a problem with her and now.. what does it even mean? Is that really true? All of that?

“You..Caleb you really mean it?” She usually does not sound like this. She always has a high voice and cheerful tint, but now.. Jester really needs to know. “I need to know that before I speak.”

“Jester.. no. Genevieve, may I use that name?”

“Yes..yes you may.” She is almost surprised he remembers. And oh does it sound wonderful to hear her name on his lips.

“I would never, ever tell you this just for it not to be true. You know me. I am a closed off man. I am not usually speaking my mind, but Jester.. oh my you do drive me crazy. I can’t focus on my work, I can’t sleep and when I sleep I see you too. I have always tried to not let my feelings show but I am a weak weak man and I know I am not worthy of you, but I would like to try..” he trailed off and Jester felt almost insulted.

“Caleb! What do you mean you are not worthy?! You just told me all the stuff like this and you sound like a poet of a century.. I do think about you all the time!” Jester realized what she said and Caleb's eyes widened and were shinier than usually.

She won’t back off now.

“I..I mean it Caleb. I am a wild soul..you all know that. thinking pastries one second and what to draw the next one. But you are a constant in my mind. What you do…What you read.. What spell you just learned.. What is Frumpkin doing and that it has to be nice to cuddle on your lap..” Jester blushed like a little girl but she had so much to say. “I can’t help but think of you when I read my books, when I see the fire crackling. You are like the fire which is keeping me warm. The fire which warms me inside, spreading from my heart.” Jester wanted to continue but suddenly Caleb stood up and hugged her. Jester feels like she is on fire. He is warming her back with one hand and her neck with the other.

She hugged him back, hiding her face into his chest.

“Caleb?” She whispered.

“Yes?”

“Does this mean I am your special someone?”

For all the answers Jester expected she did not expect Caleb to chuckle and then laugh! She peeled herself from him and set her eyes on his smile. She was frowning through. Once Caleb stopped laughing a second later, with the softest of smiles and voices that Jester never remembers him to use he said:

“Oh Genevieve.. You are more than a special someone. Can I show you how special you are?”

“Yes..” she just breathed the word out. And with that Caleb let her go and started muttering little incantations, moving his hands in specific patterns and making sigils in the air. The illusions start to appear and every significant moment of their journey so far is a little illusion on its own. He watched her as she was in awe with little figures with their likeness dancing waltz and reading books. Saving one another. And it was the last straw. Caleb reached his hands and placed them on Jester’s cheeks. She looked at him and in that moment he knew he had to kiss her otherwise he would burn from inside with all the love he has for her.

And so he did. He kissed her and he tried to pour all his love into that single kiss because he could not know if it’s not the first and last one as well. He felt her gasp and then covered his hands with hers. Much smaller ones. A moment later Jester threw one hand around Caleb’s neck and when she finally realised that all of this is really happening and it is the reality and not something her mind conjured. She opened her mouth a little and deepened the kiss between them. Caleb moved one of his hands to her neck, caressed her shoulder and traveled lower to set one hand on her hips. He was partly kneeling on the couch and it really was inevitable to lose control sooner or later. He fell on Jester and she stumbled back on the couch. They both stopped kissing and both felt a bit startled by the situation. Caleb between her legs, hands around her head. Yes the situation was a bit alarming.

“Ah..uhm we should probably..someone could just open the door.” Said Caleb while looking in Jester’s eyes from a distance which happened between them just a few times.

“Yes! Of course! I am so sorry!” Jester tumbled herself out from the position, kicking Caleb in the process, but managed not to hurt him as she sat on the couch normally once again and fixed her hair. Caleb also fixed his composure and sat on the couch next to Jester.

“Would you..like to have a sn-”

“YES! I mean.. yes sure, I would love to, Caleb.”

“You don’t even know what I wanted to say.” He chuckled but was happy nonetheless. “So do you want to add something? My spread is quite bland. Cupcakes will of course be added. Hot cocoa maybe?” Caleb started listing all the snack options and Jester just beamed at him.

“Yes, thank you! I will help you and we could go to your-..I mean we can sit here!” Jester felt..hot. Blushing all over but she wanted Caleb to kiss her and touch her again. Touch her everywhere. Kiss her everywhere. Whisper all the beautiful stuff to her.

“I think..” Caleb started as he was preparing snacks for Jester and adding something more to his plate. “I think we should eat and maybe.. talk a little.” Caleb could hear his voice wavering. He does not want to talk, but they have to. Before they will do something stupid. This can’t end badly. He would not survive it. He is way too attached and he knows it but he can’t just help it. He took all the sweets and other good things which the kitchen provided and sat next to her. They started to slowly eat and Jester stuffed her mouth with half a cupcake a minute later since they are apparently really tasty. Caleb decided to have the whiskey in the end. It won’t help him but it is a bit of a liquid courage placebo. He is nursing his glass when Jester decides to start with the talk.

“I thought you didn't like me. You were avoiding me lately and I thought that I did something and you don’t wanna be friends anymore..”

“Oh Jester. I do want to be friends…” he trailed off. “..but at the same time I don’t want to be friends.” A little panic emerged in Jester’s eyes but Caleb quickly elaborated. “I mean..that I want to be more than just your friend Jester. I want to be your special someone as you said. I want to be with you.” He smiled but his eyes were focused on the whiskey glass.

“Caleb..” Jested whispered and then brushed Caleb's hair out of his face to see him better. “I never thought you would see me that way. I am childish and reckless and all that you are not.” She giggled and then went silent until she continued, Caleb’s waiting. “ But I realized my feelings for you some time ago. I started to think about you more often. I wanted to see you more often, be close to you. A lot of times when I was sketching something lately I..I ended up sketching..you.” she laughed, a bit breathless but it eased her nerves. “You are so quiet sometimes, researching with Essek all the time so I never thought you would…” She stopped herself as she had no idea what to say. Everyone loves Caleb. Molly loved him for sure. For Nott he is like a son. Like brother for Fjord and Beau. But for Jester he is..love. She can say it now and admit it. He is warmth, calmness, love and much more.

“Jester, you are the cutest of us all and half of our friends fell for you one time or the other. It’s not hard to imagine that I did as well. And yes I did. I fell for you. And I don’t want to be a coward anymore and hide it.”

“I fell for you too…” Jester whispered and in that moment it was enough for Caleb to not care if anyone steps in the room at this exact moment. His heart was beating fast and he needed to feel her. Caleb grabbed Jester cheeks again and he kissed her as if it was the last thing he’s out to do during his life. Jester kissed him back with the same vigor. Caleb grabbed Jester by her hips and seated her on his lap. She promptly put her hands around his neck and one hand wound in his hair. Caleb moaned. He really tried not to. He must have looked like some horny man, but it was delicious. Tantalizing and full of energy. Her energy filled him to no ends. With her in his arms Caleb feels like he can do anything and become anyone. But he just wants to become one with her, be with her all the time and devote his life to this goddess which granted him with her presence. He would kiss the ground she steps on. He would level cities with the ground if she would just say the word. All of it for her.

“C-Caleb..” she breathed softly with a little moan at the end. Caleb kissed her neck and he was gripping her waist so tightly he was afraid she would have dark bruises. Luckily for him, he was not strong by any means but Jester could still feel it, the grounding touch. “Caleb..someone might come in and I do not want them to see us like this..”

“Why?” Caleb asked with a question in his eyes as he tilted his head towards her.

“I want to enjoy you for myself before everyone starts to have questions..” Caleb had to admit that it makes sense. He wants her for himself and the idea that someone steps in and finds Jester in this state made his hands heat a little bit more.

“You are right, my sapphire. We could go to my room and finish the snacks. Maybe read a little..” He smiled sweetly at her.

“Just..that?”

“We can do whatever you wish for, ja? All is up to you.” Caleb smiled again and kissed her. He tried to get up and swoop her in his arms, but at the end he had to remind himself again that he is a weak man in many things and his arms are not now in the state he could carry Jester around the house. He wished for it, but for now it will have to do to just hold her hand and lead her to his room.

Once they were in the confines of Caleb’s room, they put all the food and drinks on the table which Caleb promptly cleaned and sat on the rug which was close to his small library and table. Jester insists on having pillows and blankets so pillows and blankets were also on the rug all around them. They shared some food comfortably in silence for some time before Jester asked.

“Where is Frumpkin? I have not seen him for like a whole day. Also Sprinkle but you know.. The Traveler sometimes borrow Sprinkle and just go around his business.” she chuckled a little thinking about it.

“Oh..I have no idea actually. I like the idea that they explore the house together with Sprinkle or maybe they annoy Caduceus and Fjord. Who knows what those two are up to in that little pool.” Caleb smirked and then drank a bit of whiskey which he decided to take with them. A bit of it ran down his chin and Jester could not help herself and ran a finger to catch it and then put her finger in her mouth. Caleb was stunned for a second before the flavour hit Jester’s tongue and she made a ridiculous face and Caleb started to laugh.

“Oh mein Liebling, that is not stuff for you. But if you would like to share a drink with me I could go for something more up to your palette, ja?” Jester chuckled with him as well when she drank a lot of water to get rid of the taste.

“Můj milý, I doubt there is something which would be sweet enough for me.” Jester smiled a bit challengingly and Caleb could not help but accept the challenge.

“Wait for me, ja?” Caleb rose to his feet and went back to the kitchen. He knew he stored one bottle of very sweet strawberry creamy liquor which he found at the market and immediately thought of Jester. Sometimes she is sad she can’t share a drink with them and he thought for a very long time about how to get her to enjoy some glass during celebration from time to time. He found the bottle and smiled to himself. Before he managed to leave, Caduceus with Fjord showed up in the room. They smiled and just then realized Caleb was standing in the kitchen.

“Oh, good day to you lads.” Caleb said cheerfully. Both Cad and Fjord smiled with a bit of a quizzical expression.

“Good day to you too, Caleb. You look quite happy at the moment.” Pondered Cad for a second. “Any good news to share with us? Any dunamancy break through?”

“Oh, nein. It's just a good day and I am reading a very fine book. Even I have to take a break sometimes.” He lied but he had to. “What about you two? Any interesting conversation with The Wildmother?” He smiled to himself as he remembered how Jester makes fun of it that she actually speaks with The Traveler but Wildmother just rustles leaves.

“Nah, any of that. We just shared a nice afternoon and went to get some food.” Fjord smirked and coughed a little. Cad just chuckled and nodded his head in agreement. “We won’t keep you for long, we can see you have some nice bottle of…something and we will be on our way again. You should also get out. Very nice warm wind out there.” He raised one eyebrow and smiled.

“Ja, very nice. Thank you. I do have an open window and a nice book. I think I am doing just fine.” Caleb quickly grabbed one more glass and with a wave to his friend he went back to his room. Caduceus and Fjord left to do their thing as they smiled to each other a little bit knowingly.

________

“Huh, I am back!” He announced in a hushed voice.

“Why are we whispering now?” Jester said in a stage whisper and chuckled. She was still sitting at the rug and scribbling in her notebook.

“Cad and Fjord were just in the kitchen. I don’t want them to hear us before we are ready for everyone to hear us.” he smiled at her and put the bottle and glass on the table next to his whiskey. “I do have the goods though!” When he turned back to her she was standing right behind him and the second he turned she put her hands on his neck and kissed him.

“I wanna try that! Where did you even get this?” She chimed.

“Oh well..” A slightly embarrassed Caleb scratched his neck. “I was thinking what you might like and I found this. I hope you will like it.” He opened the bottle and poured a bit of the liquor in her glass. Caleb handed the glass to Jester and she gave it a sniff. Very adorable. Then she tasted it. Her eyes sparkled.

“Caleb! This is amazing!I can’t taste the alcohol in it at all and it tastes like strawberries!” She smiled and drank a bit more of it.

“I am glad!” He smiled as well. “But don’t let it fool you, there is still alcohol in it. So for now, just this one glass.” She nodded and went back to sitting on the rug.

“Thank you, Caleb.” She was so adorable. Caleb poured a bit more whiskey to his glass and went to grab one book from his shelf. She sat next to Jester again and handed her the book.

“I think you might like this.” She grabbed it and opened it with haste. It was a fantasy romance book which Caleb found at one bookshop near the main square. He bought it just on a whim and then sat late till morning to read it whole. It was about a poor servant and Princess as they fall in love and against all the struggles find their happiness. He found it quite poetic.

“Ou my Caleb, is this a nasty book? And can I sign it with yours and my name? It will be our book!” She smiled so radiantly he could not hold back his own smile.

“Sure we can. It’s yours now and you can do as you wish.” He smiled at her gently and reached for her hair which he stroked with gentleness.

Jester grabbed her sketching pen and went to sign the book. Then she handed the book to Caleb who also signed the book. They smiled at each other. They gazed prolongedly and both of their hearts started to beat much faster. Caleb coughed after a second and went to grab his glass to drink a little. Jester did the same. They gazed at each other again.

“Jester I…can I kiss you?”

“You kissed me before. I for sure know you can.” She grinned. Caleb put his glass down. His hand trembled a little. There was nothing stopping him now. He shifted on his knees and grabbed her by the cheek. Kissing her deeply. Jester moaned. She could still taste his whiskey mingling with her sweet liquor. She grabbed his shirt and with her strength Caleb landed on her as she lay down on the rug. He was sure the things were going way too swift but in that moment he was not able to help himself but put his hand on her hip, the other next to her head and kissed her deeply. She moaned a little as he gripped her hip and leaned more into the kiss. They were shy at first but after a few moments they slightly opened their mounts to tangle their tongues. Jester moaned louder and Caleb just hoped no one was in the kitchen by now. He does not want anyone to hear her. As he said, he is a selfish man and those sounds were just for him. The hand which held her hip moved a little so Jester could feel his manhood on her. She breathed and her head fell to the back and Caleb did not waste a second to continue kissing her on the neck.

“C-Caleb..I have..never..my first..” She babbled but it was enough for Caleb to know what she was talking about.

“Jessie.. my sapphire, we don’t have to do anything. I told you, ja?” He stroked her cheek and smiled.

“I know..but I want to. I always just read of this but never have I..” the telltale of tears and sniffles showed in her voice.

“Jester. My dear Jester.” Caleb put more of his weight on his legs and kneeled between her legs. He looked at her with all the love he had. “I won’t ever force you to do anything. If you want to, I can just..show you some-something which will make you feel good..Only if you want to.”

“If it’s with you, Caleb, I want anything.” Jester smiled bashfully.

With all the strength Caleb had not, he swooped her in his arms and made a few quick steps to his bed. It was luckily very close. Jester held him and he could tell she helped him with her weight.

Caleb laid Jester on his bed and it was something he thought this is something he never thought he would see. How many dreams he had about Jester sleeping in his bed. And not just sleeping..he pushed those thoughts and dreams to the back of his dirty mind.

“I will tell you everything and I will lead you through every step. Ja, mein Liebling?” She nodded and Caleb lied onto her, not with his full weight, his hands were next to her. He slotted himself between her legs.

“Do you want to take off some clothes?” he asked gently. She nodded her head and Caleb slowly started to unlace her corset. Once he did that, he went to the first layer of her skirt.

“Caleb..I don’t want to be naked alone..” She almost whispered it as if she would be embarrassed. With that, Caleb took off his shirt. Jester looked at him with expecting eyes. He took off his belt next and then started to unlace his trousers. Caleb was nervous as well. He did have some fun times with Astrid and Wulf but it was a very very long time ago. After that he was not thinking about this stuff at all. Until recently..

“Is this better?”

“Very much so.” Jester smiled and Caleb started to take off her linen blouse. He was not expecting Jester not to wear anything underneath that. So for the very first time he saw her breast. He imagined them a few times and the reality was much better. Full and round, just for his hands. Caleb started kissing her again and slowly taking one of her breasts to his hand. Both of them moaned. He made his way to her neck and then to her collar bones and the jewel in his hand. He licked her nipple ever so lightly but the response was immediate. She moaned and held his hair.

“Please tell me if you don’t like anything, mein Liebling..”

“Ah..I like it Caleb..” she said softly and he continued down. Kissing every single freckle he found. On her ribs, her stomach, her breasts. Caleb started to take off her petticoat and kissed her stomach in the meantime. When the petticoat was off he went back to taking off his trousers. He stopped for a moment.

“Is it okay for you to see me whole?” Caleb asked gently. She nodded and he took off his trousers. He wore no underwear and his cock stood proud just after kissing her. Jester gasped and put her hand over her mouth.

“Caleb you…you are beautiful.” He would not think of something like this regarding his naked state but hearing it from her was different. He felt confident.

“Can I undress you wholly as well?”

“Yes Caleb, please..” She sounded desperate but Caleb did not want to rush things. He took his time with her stockings and then her underwear. They were both naked on Caleb’s bed.

“I wanna do something, but tell me, please, if anything is not pleasant to you..” Caleb waited for her nod and when she gave it, he went back to kissing her whole body. Her legs were divine. Thick tights. Her tail swooshed a little on the bed and he grabbed it by the root and he did not expect her to moan so loudly. Caleb just found one of her sweet spots. He kissed her thighs and lied lower on the bed, slothing himself between her.

“C-can I?” He was so gentle, Jester thought and with a smile she gave her yes. The next thing she felt was out of this world. Caleb kissed her inner thighs and made his way to her pussy. His hand stroked her thighs and stomach. He left gentle kisses all around and Jester could already feel she was very wet.
“Jester you..I can’t hold myself..”

“Then don’t..” She whispered and he could see with a quick glance that she had hand over her mouth to silence herself.

“Ja, I won't..” He kissed her thighs once again and then went straight to his prize. The first kiss to her lips was already divine. He stuck out his tongue and licked through her lips, from the hole to her clit. Jester moaned to the degree he was sure the whole house could hear. She was so wet, hot, sweet.. Caleb was just a man and he licked and kissed her pussy with vigor. He sucked her clit and moaned himself. He was leaking from his cock like a broken faucet and rolled his hips to have some friction. Caleb freed one of his hands and stroked himself quickly, some of his precum gathering on his fingers. His now free hand went from his dick to Jester’s pussy and he stroked her folds while licking and sucking her clit. Slowly he pushed one finger into her and oh how amazingly hot and tight she was.

The finger went deep, he had long fingers after all. Jester was moaning all the time now and he could feel her hole fluttering around him. His other hand had to keep her in place. He breathed for a moment but who needs air in such a moment so he went quickly back to licking, kissing and sucking. He hollowed his cheeks around her clit when he pushed in his second finger. She was so tight around him and he just wanted to feel her on his cock but he had to wait. His hand was pushing quickly in and out, still keeping in mind to not hurt her in any way. His tongue was flicking on her clit and Jester’s hole was tightening around his fingers. He quickly added a third finger to open her more. He was not huge by any means but he was still a good size he thought for himself and Jester was a virgin so Caleb had to prepare her if she would want to have him later.

His hand quickened, cheeks hollowing..

“Ca-Caleb! Ah Caleb I will..” Caleb sped up. And then he heard her cry, her hole tightening impossibly and his tongue still quickly flicking over her clit. He looked up the moment Jester came on his hand and tongue and he could taste her. He never tasted something sweeter and more delicious than her. Caleb almost came on the spot as well but he quickly held his cock at the base with his other hand to stop himself.

“Caleb..I- I am so sorry..I made a mess..” Jester was breathing as if she ran a mile. Caleb won’t hear any of this though. He licked through her folds to gather all of her slick and savor the taste.

“You won’t ever apologise to me for this ever again, ja? You taste..I-” He raised from his position to kiss her stomach, breasts, neck and then her lips. “I won’t hear any of this nonsense.. It was a pleasure.”

“I..I am so breathless.. and I still want to feel you more. “ Caleb choked a bit with this statement.

“We could do more, my sapphire but…but are you sure you want this?” Jester kissed him back and softly said yes.

“It might hurt a little..” Caleb’s voice was full of worry.

“I am not afraid of dicks..” She laughed and then kissed him with so much energy that Caleb thought he could go all night. He chuckled as well and then with a more serious tone added.

“I am very sure you are not, but this is not a book. I just want you to feel amazing and I need you to tell me if anything hurts..” Jester looked him in the eyes, smiled and nodded.

“I will Caleb. I want my first time with you..” Kiss on the cheek. Caleb felt the fire in him. It burned him and he needed her to share this with him so she could feel how strongly he felt.

He slotted himself between her open legs. He held his cock, stroked himself a few times. Then he licked his hand and stroked himself again. He positioned himself. The head touching her pussy was almost enough for him to come. It had been a very long time since he felt anything barely close to this. He slowly pushed in. It was agonizing. He pushed a bit more and Jester held him around the neck as she pushed him more onto her body, moaning straight to his ear.

“Mein Liebling, I won’t manage much, please forgive me, you are just so beautiful, I feel like I will burn on the spot.”

“Then, můj drahý , share this fire with me.” Caleb made a few moves with his hips and then sheathed himself fully. They both moaned and were sure that if not before, anyone could hear them now. They were so in love that there was no possibility to hold it in. Caleb started to move, just slowly at first but his desire was too big and he soon started to move much quickly.

“Jester, my sapphire..I..you are so tight and hot around me!”

“Caleb I feel you everywhere.”

The moves were quick, precise and Caleb started to feel his orgasm approaching real quick. Jester was tighter and tighter around him. He held her in his arms like the most precious thing in the world. As she was to him and he whispered sweet things to her ear.. ‘You are like stars and sun..mein daylight which I need to live..Jester, mein Geliebter.. my little sapphire..’. Jester was close to her peak as well. She held Caleb like the most precious book, paper, the spell which gave her life, the most beloved.. ‘Caleb, můj milovany..můj drahý..Miluji tě..’ she whispered. And Caleb said the same thing.

“Ich liebe dich.. Jester, I love you..” He whispered it, but she could hear him.

“I love you Caleb..” she whispered back. They clutched each other and Caleb moved with the energy he never thought he had in himself. He kissed her and he felt himself at the end. He pushed his cock out of Jester and finished on her stomach with moans the whole building could hear. Jester came just a moment after with a few flicks of Caleb's hand on her clit. They both held each other, kissing and whispering words of love. Then Caleb casted mage hand to retrieve his shirt to clean Jester. After that he hugged her and put the now soiled blanket over them. He hugged her tightly as Jester rested on Caleb’s chest. Her horns poked him a little bit into his chin but he did not mind.

“Have you meant it?” Jester asked. Caleb knew what she was talking about.

“I did. I love you, Jester.”

“I love you too, Caleb.”

Once they calmed down, hugging each other and kissing, Jester started to fall asleep on Caleb's chest. It was the sweetest thing and he hoped it will be like this every time.

Then the knock on the door.

“Caleb?! Caleb! I heard you screaming! Is everything okay! You can answer now!” Nott was just behind the door and for once he was glad she had enough wit to not open the door right away.

“Ja, I am just fine, Nott. I was just..doing very intensive research.” He said and he knew Nott could even hear the lie.

“Okay, just..just come to the kitchen when you feel okay! Also, do you know where Jessie is? We have some pastries for her!”

“Nein Nott! I don’t know, but I will be with you quickly and I am sure Jester will be as well.”

Caleb knew they wouldn't be there soon. He won’t leave Jester by any means now and he really hopes that once they will emerge from their room, the questioning won’t start for at least two more days. That much he can hope for.

_____________

After an hour, Jester started to wiggle and slowly woke up. She had no idea for a second where she was but then she felt a chest next to her. Chest hair tingled her cheek and she gave a little kiss to him.

“Caleb?” Caaaleb?” She whispered. “We should wake up..” She chuckled a little but that woke Caleb as well.

“Sapphire? What time is it?”

“I have no idea my dear wizard, but we should probably go and reunite with the rest of our merriment group.” She smiled at him and kissed his cheek, then his neck and collar bone. She decided to sit on him. And she could not help herself but wiggle her hips a little.

Caleb grabbed her hips in a second and growled.

“Jester..if you wanna see our group and not hear us, you should not do this.” He bucked his hips up and moan escaped her lips.

“You are probably right but I wanna feel you.”
“What about..” he yawned. “What about we get dressed, see them and then go to our separate rooms and then.. you will sneak into my room for the night. And night after..and after..and every night for forever?” Caleb is not the one to be sentimental but he wishes for this and he does not want to be a coward in front of her anymore.

“That sounds like an awful lot of sneaking. I will just simply move here.” She smiled at him, moved her hips once more and Caleb threw his head back with a low moan.

“You will be the death of me.”

“Well I hope not! I am the cleric!” Caleb nodded at that and then sneaked his hand to her pussy. Slowly opening her lips, he pushed two fingers inside. Jester moaned and moved her hips.

“Caleb..we-ah.. Please.” Caleb's hair were all over his pillow. He looked like a muse to Jester. So handsome. Rough yet sweet. He could be the most serious and dangerous person around. He is so dangerous. His hands are his weapons and Jester knows it. She wants to hold those hands with love, kiss them, take care of them and never blame him for anything those hands did or will do, because those hands are also for loving. Her love was too big for her at the moment and she fell onto Caleb and kissed him, deeply. If she could, she would crawl closer to him, inside him, let herself be consumed by his fire.

Caleb quickly moved his hand in and out of her, his other hand around her waist. Jester’s tail was swishing wildly and then she did a thing which not many times occurred in Caleb's mind. She wrapped her tail around his cock and Caleb saw stars. It was tight around him and she moved the tail ever so lightly. He knew Jester has a devil blood in her, but now he is for sure experiencing it first hand.

It was not long before both of them were panting like they just ran from the trapped dungeon. They were kissing to silence their moans but Caleb was sure that they will have a lot of explaining to do once they finally emerge from the safety of Caleb’s room.

He could feel Jester tightening around him and knew that her peak is coming. They clenched each other as Jester came on Caleb’s hand. She recovered quickly, sat on his stomach and took Caleb’s cock into her hand and together with her tail she stroked him a few times, watching Caleb, her hand on his stomach to hold herself up. Caleb’s eyes fluttered shut as he came with a silent scream, lapping for breath. He never came so quick with just a hand. He really is pathetic. His come leaked from the tip onto Jester's hand and she licked it off. Caleb could not form any thought and if he was not so spent, he would come on the spot once again. He is really glad she is a cleric because one day, he is sure his poor weak heart won’t manage all the love and devilish things which he is sure Jester will do to him.

“Blueberry.. we..we really should put on the clothes and go to them, but..I am afraid..” Caleb’s voice got lost a little as his neck was parched and he really needed water.

“What are you afraid of?”

“They definitely heard us…” He closed his eyes with a groan and Jester chuckled.
“Well they would find out sooner than later, we both know that.” She kissed him and she felt so full of energy and so she hoped from the bed to gather their things. She also saw how Caleb tried to swallow a few times and he coughed so she went to the table for some water and gave it to Caleb. She threw a blanket from the ground around herself and went to open the window. It was early night, she suspected it wouldn't be long until midnight. The breeze was nice and she heard Caleb getting out of the bed as well as she guessed he was getting dressed up as she heard some rattle of clothes.

She felt a spell wash over her and Caleb used Prestiditation on both of them. Soon after that Caleb stood behind her and wrapped his hands around her, chin on her head.

“We should go, Liebling..”

“I knooow..” she blew a raspberry with her mouth and started to turn around, leaving Caleb by the window and dressing up as well. “I am hungry so yes..okay.”

“Good. And do not be afraid, maybe no one will suspect a thing!” He smiled cheerfully, but it had not reached his eyes, and finished dressing up when he picked a clean shirt from his wardrobe. Jester put on the stockings and decided to go without boots, Caleb went even without socks.

As they slowly opened the door Caleb went out first. He went to the kitchen and to his own surprise no one was there.

“Jester, you can go!” he said in a lower voice and Jester made her way to the kitchen next to him.

“I feel like we are robbing someone!” she giggled and Caleb lovingly rolled his eyes. They started to prepare some food, heating up some soup which appeared there. Some members of Mighty Nein definitely spent some time in the kitchen. There were used glasses and some plates. Caleb could not shake the weird feeling of them not being here.

“It is quite weird no one is spending time here, ja?” He had to voice his concerns.

“Maybe they were all very sleepy from their day and went to bed.” Jester smiled at him and continued eating some pastry which was on the table with the note ‘For Jessie <3’. It was from Nott and Yeza and next to it were some flowers in a vase. There also was one more note next to those flowers but it was addressed to Caleb. He looked at it for a moment when he realized and could make out Yasha’s writing.

‘I told you that you know who you love.. Make sure she knows it. Y.’

Caleb blushed and stuffed the note in his pocket. He smoothed his hair and fixed his bun which he put on when they were leaving his bedroom. He prompted Jester to take the stuff and go back to his room again. They ate in silence, just enjoying each other's company.

Once they finished the meal, they decided to lie in bed again. It was quite late and it’s not like they would do anything else today.

Caleb took some book with him and decided to read to Jester. She cuddled with him and he soon could feel she fell asleep. Book away and Caleb stroke her hair, horns slightly as well. She made a happy sound in her sleep. Her lips are puffy and shiny. He could watch her like this forever. He was so deeply in love with her. Cuddling more into her side, Caleb soon fell asleep as well.

________________

They woke up close to each other, Jester all over her side of the bed, one leg dangling from the bed and her tail wrapped around Caleb’s shin. He had to chuckle. Then he felt something at his feet and realized that Frumpkin and Sprinkle were in the bed with them.

“Guten Morgen, mein Freund..” Frumpkin purred next to him and Caleb felt like everything in this world is..perfect.

“Caleb?” Jester yawned as she turned on the bed to face him. “What time is it?” she slurred as she put her face on Caleb’s chest, cheeks squishing.

“I do not know exactly, but my guess is..hm.. eight o’clock.” he pondered very seriously and Jester chuckled.

“Okay Mr. Knowitall! I know that it definitely is time for breakfast!” She stretched her back and legs and arms and kissed Caleb. Then she realized that Frumpkin and Sprinkle were next to them and she patted them as well. “Okay, I am going to breakfast! And you, Mr. Widogast, should go with me.” She smiled at him and he was up in the second. They put on some more clothes, Jester borrowing one of Caleb’s sweaters. She looks so cozy and adorable in it. It was actually big on her even if just slightly, but it was also big on Caleb. But the sleeves were way too long for her. Caleb hoped she would wear his clothes more often.

They made their way to the kitchen. They could already hear their friends as they talked during breakfast. Jester held Caleb’s hand and for a moment, he was really scared to face them. But they are their friends. They won’t think anything bad about all of this. Jester could feel him tense and squeezed his hand as she turned around and smiled at him with a reassuring smile.

With this smile she just threw at him, he once again felt like he could do anything. So they stepped into the kitchen. All of their friends silenced themselves for a moment and then they smiled like any other morning.

“The breakfast is here already, Caleb coffee is just on the way and Jester your cupcakes are under the lid there..” Cad pointed and went back to the stove, finishing coffee and tea for all of them. It looks like all of them ate just a few bites, almost as if they were waiting.

“Does anyone want tea?” Cad asked as he turned gently with his height back to them. Jester raised her hand, Yasha and Fjord as well. Caduceus smiled and turned to Caleb. “Caleb, would you be so kind and fetch the coffee for the rest?” His eyes are always so gentle.

“Oh, ja! On it, Cad.” Caleb smiled back and went for the coffee.
They all filled their plates and mugs in a few minutes and with the usual chatter started eating. Jested seated herself next to Caleb and her tail was around him on the chair. He liked this little subtle touch. It was grounding gim.

Essek made his way to the house as well. A bit later than usual but the important thing is that he made it. When he appeared there, he chuckled for himself and then greeted them all. He joined them for breakfast and they all continued, sharing ideas, plans, some news, what they were doing yesterday on their free days.

“And what about you Caleb? What were you doing the whole day?” Of course Beau had to ask. She definitely knows about the note from Yasha as well. When he looked at her, she smirked.

“Ah, well..I was doing intensive research to my dunamancy..research..” He lied and drank more of the coffee. Jester next to him stuffed her mouth with more pastries.

“That is a lot of research for sure. I bet you were very successful with all the cheerful noises we could hear.” She smirked at him again and Caleb felt blush rising to his cheeks. He looked away and just as he lowered his gaze, he could see Jester getting up.

Just as he panicked a little bit that everyone heard them and Jester was leaving because of that, he then could feel her weight on his back as she stood behind him, hugged his neck and put her chin on his head.

“Just so you know, I helped Caleb with the research and it was very very interesting!” He could see her grin even though she was behind him. Yasha chuckled happily and Beau smirked with a bit of softness to it.

“Glad for you two that the research was successful.” Fjord winked at them.

“Yes, exactly! Very happy for you two!” Beau said and then turned more to Jester. “Hey Jessie..so, you gonna do more of those..research activities now? Just so I know if I have room for myself.” She laughed as Caleb was red as a tomato.

“Yes, yes we will. In fact, as a very serious researcher I am going to move all my things to Caleb’s room..today!” Jester announced with enthusiasm and Caleb just put his face into his hands. Then after a few seconds he moved one of his hands to those around his neck and kissed her gently over the knuckles.

“Can we help you somehow?” Asked Nott and Caleb looked at her. She was smiling.

“Nein, Nott. I think we will do just fine.”

They all smiled at them and Jester could not help it and kissed his cheek. He laughed a little and even though he was still sure he did not deserve her, Caleb would never change the last day for anything the universe could offer him. Because he knows very well that she is his universe and she offered herself.
