Mina loved her sword. She knew she was going to from the moment Eisele placed it in her hand. She had been practicing with a spare from Egon's collection, but it wasn't the right size or balance for her. This sword felt like an extension of her arm. She couldn't believe how different it felt to hold a sword made just for her.
"What are you going to name her?" Evander asked, bumping into her shoulder as they left the blacksmith's.
"What? Did you name yours?" She hadn't even thought of naming it.
"Not yet, but all of Egon's have names." He laughed.
"Of course they do. Just like any good tool." He smiled, unabashed.
"I guess if we're all doing it, I'll have to think on that. I'm honestly surprised my dagger never got named." She expressed.
"It was probably such a downer they just decided to call it what it is, 'The Sapphire Dagger." He wasn't wrong. It was more of a curse than a gift, like her sword.
"Could just be that men like to name things." Egon offered.
"Women like to name things. I think we just don't tend to name inanimate objects after women." She pondered out loud. "In any case, I can't wait to spar with you when we get home."
"Same. I think you'll do much better. I'll certainly be outmatched." Evander had still been holding an edge over her, and she thought perhaps he was right. Perhaps this was the boost she needed.
Unfortunately, it wasn't. Evander kept disarming her. She couldn't be mad that he was getting so good, but she could be frustrated that she wasn't. It didn't matter what combination of weapons they used, Evander was better. Evander had better balance, better footwork, and more strength. It seemed to come naturally to him. He was still no match for Egon, but she could see him getting there someday.
"You're doing very well," Egon told her. "You had a two week setback. You'll basically always be a little behind him until he reaches his limit. That's okay."
"I know," she responded, fighting back tears of frustration. "I'm okay."
"I'm sorry," Evander said gently.
"Don't be sorry for being good at this. I'm proud of you," she insisted. "Besides, you were fated for this. You were meant to be good at this."
"And you're going against everything and training yourself to fight, too. When was the last time a Queen of Sapphirus could stand on her own?" Egon asked.
"You know… I don't know. I'll have to look into it when I have access to my library again." She felt appropriately cheered. So what if she wasn't as good as a wielder she thought had two left feet. She was a sheath that could fight for herself. She grabbed Egon and kissed him. He raised his eyebrows when she pulled away, and she smiled.
"Come, Van. We must attend to our queen's ego." Egon swept her off her feet and began to carry her up the stairs.
"Let me guess, my ego is between my legs?" She laughed.
"How did you know?" He practically threw her onto the bed and started to undo all the fasteners in his clothes. Evander wasn't far behind. "I really want to put my fingers inside both of you at the same time."
Mina was on board. She started pulling her own clothes off with the help of Egon and ultimately found herself lying beside Evander. Evander pulled her into a kiss as Egon's fingers entered both of them. Van moaned into her lips as he kissed her desperately, holding her face in his hands. Egon hooked his fingers inside of her. She imagined he was doing the same to Van and wondered if it felt as good for him as it did for her. Even as she started to rock her hips on Egon's fingers, she could feel Van doing the same.
Egon pulled his fingers from them, much to her disappointment, and proceeded to pick her up and put her on top of Evander. He grabbed Van's cock and placed it gently inside her, pushing her down onto it. Then he proceeded to put himself inside Van. Evander made a face she'd never forget. One of pure hunger and desire. He pulled her in for a kiss and grabbed her by the hips to encourage her to move on top of him. Behind her, she felt Egon moving with her, fucking Evander in time with her movements.
She reached down to her clit, determined to get off at the same time as Van, who was obviously sprinting to his end. Her fingers danced clumsily over her little button of nerves while she tried to hold herself up, fuck, and stimulate herself at the same time. Van took his hands off her hips and began using them to hold her up by the shoulders. It was clear that Van wanted her to get off at the same time as him, too. Egon took over, pulling and pushing her by the hips in time with his own thrusts. Mina felt that familiar buildup of pleasure at her core. Evander was watching her closely as it exploded out into her body. He quickly followed, as did Egon. Their movements became less unified and more chaotic as they all fell into pleasure until they finally just lay atop one another in a lump of bodies and limbs.
"I love you, both," she said quietly. It wasn't something she'd said to them before, despite the fact that both of them had expressed their love for her. She shouldn't have been nervous about the confession, but she couldn't help that she was.
"I love you, too," they both said in unison almost immediately. There were kisses on her face, neck, and shoulders from both sides of her. She definitely felt tears welling up, but shoved them back down. She'd cried enough already about the security and love they made her feel.
"We should bathe," She said to hide her emotional state.
"We should cuddle," Egon said, falling to one side of Evander and sidling up to them firmly. "Someday, we're both going to be inside you at the same time." He whispered in her ear.
"I suspect I'd probably love that. Sounds like something we should definitely work towards." She wedged herself between them, facing Evander, and got comfortable.
"I suspect you're going to enjoy a lot of things with us," Evander said, kissing the top of her head.
"She certainly is, if I have anything to do with it." He chuckled softly, but there was a sadness in his voice. A sadness she knew the source of. They didn't have much time. All they could do was make the most of it.
