FFXV: After the Fall

Chapter 25

Helena awoke the next day with Gladiolus next to her as usual, and she also went to get up after he did...but then decided to stay put. Her belly was very uncomfortable.
   "I...think I'm gonna have a lie-in." She told him.
He smiled. "You should, once in a while. Does you good. I doubt we're goin' anywhere just yet, so you stay put." He leaned over the bed to kiss her, then made his way out for some breakfast after getting dressed.
She then grew ever-so-slightly nervous, and started poking and prodding at her lower belly with her fingers...ouch. Yeah, it was definitely a little bit sore in there. Bit tender.
She wasn't pregnant, that wasn't the reason.
The reason was, despite her never having imagined that it would be possible, she might be having too much sex- and the second she'd thought that, she wanted to laugh.

She lay there, thinking about it some more, and it made total sense to her. Nyx had had her twice in Galahd on that night two days ago. He'd then had her again the very next day- twice- and after that, after they'd all had a very nice dinner and relaxed with some drinks...Gladiolus had had her too. Five goes, two days.
Which was like...two-and-a-half goes per day, she worked out. How half a go went was anyone's guess, but the real question for her was, could she actually damage herself if she kept on taking such unusually-high levels of dick? Surely, other people in the world had that much, or more, and they'd be okay...right?
After five minutes of fretting about whether she'd damaged herself or not, she resorted to reaching for her phone that lay on the bedside table, and asking the Internet about it.
She read several articles that looked at the topic, as well as a couple that looked at the question of how much is too much.
And the verdict? Inconclusive, really. The soreness was a natural conclusion of such activities, far more common if said activities were a little on the rough side. They sure were.
There was no real set number on the amount of times it 'should' be had or anything like that, but they all seemed to agree on the fact that if a person did get sore, or strained anything, then they should stop for a couple of days to allow themselves to heal.
Thanks for that, Internet, she thought sourly, I'd never have thought of that one. Don't know why I bothered. I just need to take a break, that's all. Calm down a little bit. Have less sex. Which meant that Nyx would have to wait.

That thought made her send him a text to let him know, and a couple of minutes after that, he rang her.
   "You alone?" He first asked.
   "Yeah, just having a lie-in."
   "So...what's wrong?"
He sounded concerned, and she suspected that he might have taken her message the wrong way. "Nothing's wrong," she assured him, "it's not that, I'm just...I'm really sore and I think that I need to take a break to give it chance to rest."
   "...I am a bit, too." He admitted. "So you reckon we might have gone a little overboard lately?"
She nodded. "Yes. That's all it is, I promise you."
He then paused, and laughed. "Oh man, I never thought you could actually have too much."
   "Neither did I. Even asked the Internet, and-"
   "You did what? You actually searched that online?"
   "Well yeah, I'm not exactly gonna walk up to a doctor and go, 'excuse me, can you damage yourself from having too much dick', now am I? Stop laughing!" She grinned as he laughed again.
   "I...hahaha...oh, shit, that's funny."
   "Shut the fuck up." She laughed too, then.
   "Aww, babe," he said, "don't worry, okay? It'll go. I see what you're sayin' now. I'll wait for, like, a couple of days or somethin' like that, then it'll all be better. Okay?"
   "Yeah." She smiled. "That's right. Thanks."
   "I'll be lookin' forward to it, I know that..."
   "...me too."
   "Well, you let me know."
   "I will. Bye." She then put the phone back down, and stared at the white of the ceiling.
...that didn't go too bad, she thought to herself. I'll now get a break from not having Nyx as well, and then after this sore stuff is gone I can just...yeah. That works.
