The Antique Goblet (Closed for BlueCollarGirl)

Unable to help herself, Tessa snorted a laugh at the mental image of Luke running past their neighbors in nothing but his birthday suit. Mrs. Larson, the super churchy lady at the end of the street who'd made no secret of her disapproval that they lived together unwed, would probably swallow her dentures at the sight.

As she looked at the plates of curry and rice on the table, she sighed. If she were being honest, Tess didn't want to keep doing this. But Luke was having so much fun, and she thought that it was doable so long as they kept to their rules. "Yeah, I know what it is." As Luke fixed himself a drink in the goblet, she added, "But please sit down before you drink."

That made him grin, an infectious expression that she couldn't help but mirror. He drank, that slow doped-up expression wiping away his grin. That doused her own smile as she ordered, "Tonight before bed, I want you to give me one of your best back massages."
 
Luke smiled at her concern, not wanting him to fall while he was in the goblet trance. Then, he drank, and lost that little bit of time while Tessa gave him a suggestion.

Once he came to, he reached for one of the little packages of flatware that came with dinner. “Let’s eat! I’m going to need a little more time to think of mine.”

The food was delicious, although Luke felt bad for how little Tessa seemed to be enjoying it. He had what he thought was a great idea, but their new rule prevented it. He wasn’t going to break that rule, so he needed to think of something new. It took a few minutes, but he finally came up with something. It helped when he remembered that Tessa had a late start to her classes tomorrow.

After he finished eating, Luke filled the goblet with water and set it in front Tessa’s plate. “I figured it out.”

She took a nervous gulp, and her eyes glazed over. “Tonight, when we’re lying in bed and I kiss you goodnight, I want you to fall asleep immediately, sleep soundly and deeply through the whole night, dreaming only sweet and wonderful dreams, waking at nine a.m. rested, refreshed, and more ready to start your day than you’ve ever been before.” He barely got it all out before she snapped out of her trance, but he was smiling at her warmly when she focused her eyes.

He was curious if the goblet’s magic could affect things they had no conscious control over, and he was also done making her do things she wouldn’t like. He felt bad about the curry.
 
Tessa tried her hardest to hold onto herself after she drank from the goblet. But almost on cue, she felt the world fold down into only Luke's mouth. The way it moved so, so slowly, his words muffled to her ears even as she felt them settle inside of her mind. There they disappeared like fog in the early morning light.

Then time restarted and Luke was just smiling his sweet smile at her. She smiled back before looking down at her plate. She'd eaten about half the meat and even less of the rice, but she had chowed down more than her share of naan so at least she wasn't hungry.

She went upstairs to read through today's test results, making sure everything was in order, while Luke watched a little t.v. Eventually he came to bed, the novel he'd been reading in hand, as well. He set it on the nightstand before changing into his pajamas and sliding into bed. Once there, she found herself manhandled into prone position as Luke's hands slid under her shirt.

"Ooooh," she sighed as his fingers began to work out the perpetual knot that sat between her shoulder blades, born of years hunched over a microscope. They chatted a little about their day as he worked, though he didn't seem to noticed when she grunted and yipped when he got a particularly tender spot. When he finished, she rolled over with a smile.

"Thank you for the lovely massage," she grinned up at him as the realization dawned on his face.

He kissed her lips and whispered, "Good night." And then it was light's out for Tessa.
 
Luke left the house in the morning without waking Tessa, although he wasn’t sure he could have. She had fallen asleep as soon as he’d kissed her, right after they got into bed. She’d looked so peaceful. He smiled at the memory, and wondered how he might be able to make his birthday idea for Tessa work without breaking their rule about leaving the house.

He was also curious what her suggestion for him had been, but he knew he’d find out tonight.

Work was busy, and even slightly interesting for once. The company was expanding into a new division and he’d been tapped as the controller for the fledgling organization. It wasn’t really a promotion, and there was no raise with it, but if the division was successful that would change.

At the end of the day, Luke made some phone calls to work on his plan, and picked up some supplies on the way home. He stashed them in the garage and walked inside to check on his girlfriend.
 
Luke was already gone by the time Tessa woke up. Man, she felt amazing. When was the last time she had slept so good? A quick glance at the clock told her it was nine, so she had a little time to laze around in bed. Fridays were the best for that anyway, and she felt so much better than she had all week. That back massage really did the trick!

After a few minutes, she stretched and rolled out of bed. She padded barefoot over to the mirror, pleased to see some of the strain around her eyes eased. Then she made a mischievous face at herself. Fridays were good for more than just sleeping in. They were also usually the nights that she and Luke got intimate. A bottle of wine and good movie always got them in the mood.

Hmm, she wondered if she should use the goblet to get him to try out something new. It was good in theory, but she wanted him to be aware of the moment to see if he enjoyed it. Not much fun in brain fogging your way through sex! Maybe if she also told him to be aware as part of the instructions...

Well, she would ask him first to see what he thought. That might solve their "only in the house" dilemma. And besides, she didn't want to get all rapey with her boyfriend, even though she doubted he would mind. And if she didn't hurry up and get in the shower, she was going to be late. Especially since she needed to shave all the things for later.

Thankfully for her, the day's work involved monitoring midterm makeups for a bunch of undergrads. It gave her plenty of time to think on what she was going to try out with Luke. They were pretty open with one another, but she suspected there were probably some things he wanted to do but didn't want to ask about. Then again, there were a few things she'd always been a little too shy to ask for herself. Maybe tonight was the night to change that.

She stopped by the liquor store on the way home to pick up a good bottle of red. Then, at home, she put on a pretty bra-and-panty set under her clothes before getting started on making dinner. By the time Luke arrived, she had her mind made up on her request. She ran to give him a hug and kiss as soon as he walked in the door.
 
Luke walked in and hugged Tessa, squeezing her arms. “You look beautiful, honey!”

He sat his things down and walked into the kitchen. “Dinner smells so good! Thank you for cooking.” He started getting out the dishes.

“How was your day? Also, I’m dying to know what your goblet suggestion was!
 
"Hmm? Oh!" She grinned as she pulled the homemade pizza out of the oven. "You know how sore I get after lab day? Well, I had you give me an ah-MAY-zing back rub." As she fanned the pizza with a metal pan to try and cool it faster, she added, "It was so good that I slept like a baby last night. Out like a light and I didn't wake up once, not even when you got up, and -"

Tessa stopped rambling when she heard Luke chuckling."What?" Then he told her about his command. "Aw, you're too sweet, taking care of me like that!" She planted a lingering kiss on his lips. He pulled her close, and they enjoyed their embrace for the moment.

Before she lost her nerve, she jumped back in. "So...I had an idea today. Well, two ideas. About the goblet and what we tell each other while we're under the influence. I want to see if I can tell you to be aware of what you're doing , so you can remember it after it's done. What do you think?"
 
Luke thought about it. He didn’t want to ruin his surprise for Tessa’s birthday the next day, but it would be good to know if they could do that. “Okay, and I wouldn’t object if yours was another back rub, or more-than-that rub. You know I love having my hands on you. Oh, but can mine for tonight be a secret? I want to surprise you.”

He picked up a slice of pizza and took a bite, moaning in bliss. “Oh, baby that’s delicious!”

They ate a pleasant meal, enjoying each other’s company. Luke told Tessa about his new position, and asked about her day. Once they had finished the pizza, he filled the goblet with water and sat back down.

“Alright, let’s do this,” he said as he tipped it back, his eyes glazing over in his trance.
 
Luke was so eager to keep trying this. It pleased the scientist in Tessa because experimentation was how she understood the world. But experimenting on people left her nervous, even with his permission. It just wasn't something that was done.

And she realized, too late, that she hadn't asked him about making tonight's command sexual. She waffled as she witnessed his face slacken but she couldn't think of a single other thing to tell him. Realizing that time was running out, she blurted out, "I want you to let me give you a blowjob and have you finish in my mouth. And you will be aware of it the whole time and that it was my command."

She got the words all out just in time, making her sit back with a relieved sigh. "I'm not going to tell you now what it was, but we'll see if you know it when it happens." Her cheeks felt flushed so she quickly scooped up goblet to refill it for her turn. As she sat back down, she guzzled the water and let the world slip away.
 
Like knew he had to speak quickly. He had a lot to say this time. “Tomorrow at 5:00 p.m., go into our room and listen to music on your headphones. Don’t notice any sounds in the house and stay in our room or the bathroom until you come out at 6:15 dressed and made up like you would for dinner at a fancy restaurant.”

He overshot, talking so fast that he ended up actually having time left over. Hopefully that wouldn’t cause any problems. When she blinked and re-focused, he was smiling at her with warmth and love.

“Wanna watch some TV?”
 
"Wanna watch some tv?"

Tessa blinked a few times. The weird, cottony feeling around her mind lingered a little, but she didn't know why. Luke didn't seem to notice, only held out a hand to help her up, which she took. But her legs were steady when she stood, and her head cleared once she got moving. She smiled up at him and said, "Don't forget the wine glasses."

He scooped them up and she practically ran to the couch, where she flipped the tv on. She paid almost no attention to what they watched, trying not to be nervous. It wasn't like she never gave him head, but it was always just foreplay. But Tess wanted him to know this was okay, too, especially since he was always so generous with her.

By the time their glasses were empty and their shows were over, she laid with her head in his lap, his fingers playing with her hair. She rolled over a little so she could look up at him. "Are you ready for my command?"
 
Sitting back on the couch, enjoying the comfort and touch of his lovely girlfriend, was one of Luke’s favorite ways to spend time. He ran his fingers through her shiny hair, watching her a bit more than he watched the show they’d put on.

When she looked up and asked if he was ready for her command, he was confused. Hadn’t he already drunk from the goblet? She’d given him his command, right? Did she mean for him to do the thing she’d commanded him to do?

He didn’t know what it was, though. She’d mentioned trying to get him to be aware of it, but he didn’t think it had worked. The only word bouncing around in his head at that moment was “blowjob,” and that didn’t make any sense. Her command couldn’t be for her to give him a blowjob, could it?

They gave each other oral sex often enough, though usually as foreplay. Maybe some wires had gotten crossed and she wanted him to eat her out? That would be fun. He loved making her feel good, and she was generally expressive when he had her on the end of his tongue.

“Yeah, let’s get started.” Hopefully it would come to him once he started, and he would know what her command had been.
 
Luke probably found it strange for Tessa to get suddenly a little shy. After three years together, she had shaken off a lot of the nerves she had around sex. But she had also been woefully inexperienced when she met him, having only less than a handful of encounters, and those had been in high school.

But she wanted to do this. She always had and hadn't been able to work up the nerve to say so. She always worried that saying something would make him think she wasn't satisfied with their sex life, which was the farthest thing from the truth. She loved it! But she also held a deep curiosity within her about most things, and this was no different.

So with a soft demure smile, she rolled off the couch and knelt by his knees. She reached for the waist of his jeans, trembling fingers fumbling with the button and zipper. When she began to tug them and his boxers down, he lifted up and helped but still looked a little befuddled. After she tossed them where she'd been sitting on the couch, she rose a slid off her shirt and leggings, showing off the matching blue silk undergarments she'd chosen for the occasion.

Luke sat near the edge of the cushion, which thankfully made this easier. She knelt back down and began to stroke him. Once he was ready, she leaned up and kissed his lips. "Thank you for being such a wonderful boyfriend," she whispered before sinking back down and taking him in between her lips.
 
As soon as her lips touched his cock, the knowledge that this had been her command, for him to let her give him a blowjob and to finish in her mouth, hit his brain.

“This?”

Luke was confused, and honestly a little bit hurt, which were strange emotions to feel with his dick in his beloved girlfriend’s mouth. She sucked and licked, distracting him with blissful sensation.

“This, oh!, this was what you used the, unh, goblet for? Oh, baby! You, sucking my dick? Mmmmm. Babe, what were you~hiss~afraid of? That I would, oooh, push those soft, sweet lips off my co-Ah-ock?”

She was starting to get going, and he was having trouble concentrating. Luke hadn’t had blowjobs from very many women, but in his admittedly biased opinion Tessa was very good at it. He briefly considered stopping her, just to see if he could, but he couldn’t bring himself to try.

“Ah, fuck it, honey. What am I, ahhhhh, complaining about?”

He sat back and enjoyed her work, as well the view. Seeing Tessa in lingerie was almost as much of a turn on for him as seeing her nude, and those little blue numbers were hotter than the average lingerie.

“Oh, baby, I’m close!”
 
Tessa kept peeking up at Luke's face, trying to gage his reaction. At the start he seemed really confused and maybe upset. Shit, she didn't want to upset him - she wanted him to feel good! That only encouraged her to try harder.

That seemed to do the trick. As her mouth slid up and down his cock, his voice cracked around his words to make noises that made her happy. When she looked up again, she found him watching her, his eyes bright with lust. A detached part of her brain was glad she changed into the blue for this - she knew he enjoyed it.

Ahh, she loved to listen to him, to feel his hands on her head gently encouraging her. She slid him in as far as she could go without choking and stayed for a second. Her tongue stroked his length while her lips suctioned around his cock. Finally she needed air and slid back up with a gasp before diving back down to play with the head.

"Oh baby, I'm close!"

Tessa appreciated the warning and did her best to bring him home. When she felt his cock begin to pulse, her fingers wrapped around him as her tongue teased the tip. Then his seed spilled across her tongue and she swallowed it down quickly, afraid if she thought about it she wouldn't be able to do it. But the taste wasn't bad and she could tell that, sexually anyway, Luke seemed satisfied.

When he was done, she leaned back and gave him a sheepish look. "You're not mad at me, are you?"
 
Luke looked down at the beautiful woman who had just swallowed his cum. “Mad at you?” He shook his head. “Why would I be mad at you?”

He reached down and pulled her up to cuddle with him on the couch. “At first I was a little...sad, maybe? Just because I wondered if maybe I made you feel like you couldn’t just talk to me about that without the goblet.” He thought about it, and gave her a small smirk. “It’s hard to feel anything but great after that, though.”

Luke sat there, his hand slowly stroking Tessa’s thigh. “I’m glad it happened, though, because now I know something you wanted to do, that I didn’t know before. If it takes the goblet to make that happen, then I’m grateful for it.”

His hand moved to her silk-covered ass, and he mischievously pinched her through the blue fabric. “It does give me an idea for tomorrow night, though.”
 
Relieved, Tessa snuggles with him on the couch. "No, you didn't make me feel like I couldn't say it. I just..." She paused, chewing on her bottom lip. "I didn't know how to bring it up, especially after.all this time." She squeezed him tightly. "I'll try to be better about saying those things. Promise."

His hands comforted her as they roamed across her legs. "Tomorrow night, huh?" She grinned up at him. "Seems only fair. Although I still don't know what you told me to do tonight." She feigned a pout as he pulled her in for a kiss.

She made it a light one as her mind kicked be in. "Oh, so it worked! You remembered! Did that make it weirder? Did you try to fight it?" A jumble of questions flew from her mouth as Tessa grew animated.
 
Tessa was so cute when she pouted. He kissed her, softly and romantically, but not a kiss that would start anything else. Not that he would mind, but he was satiated.

Luke tried to think about how the realization had felt. “You know when something is on the tip of your tongue but you just can’t quite get it out? That’s what it was like until you started, and then it all hit me at once.” He looked down at her, in her lingerie, with a smile. “Fight it? I wondered if I should try, but I didn’t want to. You’re too good at that.”

He reached over to pull a blanket from the arm of the couch and pull it over her. He mind of hoped she would just be comfortable in his arms, wearing that, for hours.
 
Tessa smiled to herself as Luke draped a blanket out over her, his silent invitation to keep wearing only the lingerie she had on. She appreciated the gesture and snuggled back up against him. If he wanted her in just this, he had it. He'd let her explore something with him and if what she wore made him happy, then she was happy.

She must've dozed off at some point because she remembered him shaking her gently and helping her down the hallway to the bedroom. She climbed right in and fell right back to sleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

They slept in late on Saturday, which was a nice treat. Usually they were off doing things with friends or family or work. But not today. Eventually Simon jumped onto Tessa with an angry meow to alert her of the indignity of his empty food dish. Tessa shoved the cat off the bed, threw on a robe, and padded to the kitchen to feed him. "No need to be so angry about it," she grumbled at him when he slapped her hand as she dumped the food into his bowl. He made up for it by letting her scratch his ears while he chowed down.

Luke was in the shower by the time she came back to their room, so she laid back out on the bed, wondering what Luke had told her when she drank from the goblet yesterday.
 
Luke was a big fan of The Lazy Saturday Morning, and an even bigger fan of walking out in a towel to see Tessa lying back on their bed, her robe partially open to reveal her blue silk lingerie from the night before. Luke walked over to the bed and set his hand down on her thigh.

“Thanks for feeding Simon.”

He sat next to her on the bed and slid his hand up her thigh until it was under the robe, just below her panties. “Do we, uh, have anywhere we need to be this morning, or…” He pulled aside her panties to reveal her perfect little pussy. “Should I give you your first birthday present?”


***


Later that evening, Luke tried to play it cool and act like nothing was happening. They had a relaxing afternoon together, and as soon as five o’clock hit, Tessa got up and walked into their bedroom. Luke followed her until she put in her earbuds, and then he was off to the races!

Luke hid the goblet in a locked case he kept in the garage, just in case. Then: streamers, balloons, cake, candles, hors d'oeuvres, drinks, paper plates and cups, all of it was prepared and set up as quickly as the young man could manage. It was a good thing, too, because their friends started filtering in by 5:45, just like he’d asked.

They were milling about, making conversation. Bekah, Tessa’s friend from undergrad, asked Luke about how he was keeping the secret.

“So, she’s really in the bedroom? And she has no idea?”

Luke laughed it off and did the best acting he could. “Yeah! She had some work to catch up on, so she’s got her headphones on and she can’t hear a thing.”

“That’s amazing!”

By 6:14, everyone was hidden behind whatever furniture they could hide behind, the lights were off, and Luke was ready to switch it on and yell “Surprise!” as soon as Tessa walked out.
 
A whisper of a smile crossed Tessa's lips as she slipped her airpods into her ears. Luke was being so sweet for her birthday, starting with the little surprise he'd given her this morning. Her blowjob last night must've been pretty good if he reciprocated like that. He made she she was well compensated. It made her blush to think of how loud she had been and how glad she was that Simon hadn't come to see what all the fuss was about.

She turned her music app on and found her relaxing playlist. The soft trance electronica filled her mind, and she sank down to the bed. For a long time, she just...sat. Her eyes grew distant as it washed over her, time passing without her even really noticing.

After forty minutes or so of nothingness, Tessa rose, expression still blank, and went to the closet. She picked out her favorite dress - a deep red number with a plunging neckline, tight waist, and hit a few inches above the knee - and laid it out on the bed. She stripped out of her leggings and t-shirt, changed into some black lacy lingerie, and added some sheer thigh high stockings. Then she squeezed into the dress, making sure their airpods stayed in place.

Then she went into the bathroom, plugged in her curling iron, and put on some makeup while it heated up. She added some eyeliner and matte red lipstick, going all out for how she looked. Once she had that done, she put some big curls into her brunette hair and finger combed through them. A quick spritz up hairspray and she was done.

As she stared at her reflection, Tessa had a moment of wondering why she was so dolled but, then remembered it was her birthday. Luke must be taking her out for the day. That reason let her relax back into the music as she added the necklace he'd given her for Christmas and a pair of big spangly earrings.

She looked at her phone and saw it was 6:15. She'd better hurry if she didn't want to be late. She quickly turned off the music, put the airpods back on the dresser, and slipped into her favorite pair of black heels. But when she opened the door, the house was both dark and quiet. Heels clackibg as she walked down the hall, she asked, "Luke?"

The lights flipped on and voices yelled, "Surprise!" Tessa, completely unprepared, screamed in shock, and then almost doubled over in laughter. "Luke!" she shouted as she spied him sauntering towards her, shaking her head at him. When she kissed him, she whispered, "That is totally cheating. "
 
Luke quickly whispered back, “What am I supposed to do? You always catch me. I love you. Happy Birthday.”

The party was a lot of fun. Their friends were all easygoing, entertaining people, and everyone enjoyed the drinks and snacks. It was also nice to catch up with some people they didn’t see all the time.

After a few hours, the last guest had filtered out, and Luke was cleaning up the used plastic cups when he saw Tessa lift one off the counter. “Enh-eh, birthday girl doesn’t clean! Go sit on the couch!”

He smirked to himself. “Besides, I want you loose and comfortable when I give you my suggestion…”
 
The party was amazing. Luke was amazing. Tessa never expected him to pull something like this off, and she loved him all the more for it. Lindsey, one of their mutual friends, pulled her aside and said, "Tessa, I know you already know this, but he's a keeper." She just laughed and nodded, but it made her happy to know that other people saw what she did.

Still, she remained a little weirded out by how she went a little overboard to meet the goblet's rules. She didn't know exactly what Luke had instructed, but she was at least one level of dress above everyone else. She'd even done her hair, which she hadn't done in ages. But, she rationalized, he'd done it so she would shine for their friends. How could she fault him for that?

Once everyone left, she tried helping Luke clean up, but he shooed her away. "Fine, but we can clean this up tomorrow." She pulled him to the couch but didn't sit down. Instead, she kissed him with all the happiness she had inside her. When they breathlessly broke away, she grinned. "Nice and relaxed for...what?"
 
Luke almost forgot what he was going to do when she kissed him. It was a very nice kiss.

Once she mentioned it, he remembered. “Be right back!”

He ran and grabbed the goblet from his hiding place, filling it with water before bringing it to her.

“You sure? It might be pretty raunchy…”
 
Luke ran off with the same enthusiasm he'd had all night. Tessa laid back on the couch, head a little fuzzy from the wine she drank but feeling mostly sober. A little smile played on her lips as she thought back to this morning. Though the party was great, what Luke had done earlier was definitely the best present she got.

He came bounding back, goblet in hand. “You sure?" he asked, big grin on his face. "It might be pretty raunchy…”

A shiver ran down her spine, wondering what he had in mind. "Raunchy, huh?" She pretended to think about it before snatching the cup away from him and downing it with one gulp.

That familiar sinking feeling came over her, and she felt the goblet slip from her fingers as her body went slack. Luke's words spun around her, heard and then forgotten, buried deep inside her mind. It seemed to go on forever, hazy and languid....

And then she blinked and found time resumed. She looked up at Luke and smiled. "Thank you for the party. I don't want to ask anything with the goblet tonight. Rain check til tomorrow?"
