Nikki's Struggle

The classes were being held at an old motel on the outskirts of the city that had recently been refurbished. A sizeable café attached to the motels reception area had likewise been refurbished, and converted partially into a small assembly haul. Tables had been lined up with chairs facing the side, which had had a chalkboard set up.

There were about twenty other women there when Nikki showed up. She was surprised to see a couple women she knew, one older lady she worked with and two young women she remembered seeing around campus. She was almost stunned to see that the teacher of the class was none other than her college algebra teacher Mrs. Woods.

Mrs. Woods smiled and gave Nikki a quick hug. "I'm so glad you could come! If I'd known you were having these troubles, I would have invited you personally a lot sooner."

"Am I pretty behind?" said Nikki.

"Not at all," said Mrs. Wood. "This is a fairly new group. Though admittedly, we get a high turn over rate, ladies dropping out as new ones pop in, so you know, it's hard to really maintain a standard level of progress anyway. Plus, everyone comes in at different levels already, so don't think of it in terms of being on some kind of curve. We don't grade you here; we're here to help your personal development."

Nikki smiled. "Great!" she said. She sat down at one of the tables and exchanged greetings and pleasantries with the other women there until the class started.

"Okay!" said Mrs. Woods with a loud clap to get everyone's attention. "I guess we can get started. For those new here, my name is Mrs. Woods. I'll give you a moment to snicker over the obvious innuendo." She winked and the class chuckled. "You may call me Emma instead, if you like. We are here because you are having difficulty coming to grips with your powers. For some of you, you cannot seem to tune out sensing other people's sexual arousal. For others, you cannot seem to figure out how to really use your abilities. Others simply want to make sure they are using their powers correctly.

"I want you to know there is no shame in this. Sex Magic is a skill, and just like all skills, they need to be learned and trained. Some people are innately talented in this area; no doubt you all know some women who, just a few weeks after they got their abilities, could fuck a dozen men blind with a snap of their fingers. These women are the talented ones, but even they need to figure out how things work; they can simply do it more quickly. Most women, however are neither as powerful or as skilled, and don't learn much beyond the very basics. And, then, of course, some women just have a hard time grasping the Powers. This is perfectly fine. It just means you need to work a little harder to catch up to the average, but at the end of the day, it doesn't make you less of a woman.

"For those of you new here, we will be bringing in male volunteers for demonstration and for you to practice on if you are comfortable doing so. We won't force you, but it's far more effective to give you hands on training, so to speak, than to just give you a lecture. After all, you can read as many books and blogs and self-help articles as you want, but it ultimately comes down to you needing to practice."

A hand went up and Mrs. Woods nodded. The woman said, "Um, these men, are they, you know, legit? I mean, there's not going to be any problems with them?"

Mrs. Woods smiled reassuringly. "They are of legal age, have no STDs, are unattached or in open relationships, have clean background checks, and understand exactly what they are getting into. Myself and my assistants," she waved to two women standing behind her, "are well trained and our powers are quite strong. If anything starts to go wrong, we will be there to fix the problem."

One of the assistants spoke up, "For the record, if any of you are currently in a relationship, we will not be responsible for any negative consequences your being here might cause in your personal lives. Similarly, this class is not a place to learn how to abuse men or control them for personal gain. If any of you intentionally try to hurt the volunteers, you will be charged with assault and battery. If you use what we teach you to break the law, we will not be held responsible, and you cannot try to sue us."

"Thank you, Liz," said Mrs. Wood a bit tersely. "Let's try not to scare them off on the first night, hmm?"

"I am simply being cautious, especially after last month's fiasco," said Liz.

Mrs. Woods sighed and used the edge of her shirt to clean her glasses, a habit of hers Nikki recognized for when she wanted to collect her thoughts. "Yes, well. We will burn that bridge if we come to it, I suppose." She replaced her glasses and offered another bright smile. "Now, then! Shall we get started?"

The first part of the class was a brief overview of their powers: how as Sex Mages, they could sense sexual arousal and activity, how they could trace it as a flow of energy which they could then interpret to detect a man's sexual desires, his kinks and fantasy's, how best to touch him for a desired affect. They could also manipulate the energy itself, feed pleasure into a man without needing to touch him, manipulate his genitals and even the rest of his body to move and feel as a woman pleased. They could even link with a man mentally, sharing thoughts and sensations, to unite as one in a way people had only dreamed about before the Powers arrived, just over a decade ago.

And then, it was time to bring in a volunteer. Mrs. Woods had Liz go into the former kitchen area of the dinner and bring out a man. He was wearing a robe, and his libido was currently low, though as he came towards the front of the room, he looked over the group of women. His arousal sparked and the class all saw his excitement at being played with before them. It was clear he had an exhibitionist kink.

"This is Todd, class," said Mrs. Woods, pulling up a chair and having Todd sit down.

"Hi, Todd," said the class, some of the girls giggling a bit. A few women shifted in their seats uncomfortably as the reality that they were going to be presented with a nude male was a bit beyond their comfort zone.

"Hi, ladies," said Todd. He grinned, a little stage shy despite his apparent kink, but his excitement was quite evident. His robe covered his genitals, but the bulge of his erection was easy to see. Even if he had been covering himself completely, however, his erection was plainly "visible" to them all as they each saw the flow of sexual energy coursing through him. In her mind's eye, Nikki perceived a reddish glow around his crotch. If she peered closely, she could see brighter lines and dots within the glow, indicating Todd's special hot spots and the way he preferred to be stroked. Nikki swallowed nervously.

Mrs. Woods nodded. "Alright, Todd, you may as well take the robe off. I'm sure by now, they can all 'see' you."

Todd opened the robe, letting it drop around the back and sides of the chair. His cock twitched freely in the air and Nikki saw the glow grow a bit stronger as being fully bare before a room full of women made him even more excited.

"Alright, now you are all here to work on various aspects of your abilities," said Mrs. Woods. "For those having trouble with interpretation, I am going to explain to you how to figure out the various signals you are receiving. Then, for those of you who wish to learn how to control that flow, I will provide a demonstration and walk you through the process of a basic 'magic handjob' as they call it. I know this seems a bit crude to some of you, but I really want you all to pay attention to this. For those of you having trouble tuning out the signals, it's very important that you understand how to manipulate the energy flow directly; this is what will allow you to put up a barrier that will bend away all but the strongest ambient sexual energy."

Mrs. Woods turned to Todd and smiled at him. "Are you ready, Todd?"

Todd smiled back. "You bet!"

Mrs. Woods chuckle. "Ah, so eager. Alright then." She pulled up another chair and sat down next to him. She rested one arm on his shoulder and leaned over him slightly. With her free hand, she gestured over his penis. "So, you can all sense the energy emanating from here. However, if you look closely, you will see that it's not just a general broadcast, but certain spots radiate a stronger signal, and the signals follow along certain paths..." Mrs. Woods proceeded to point out the spots where Nikki could see the brighter pin points in the glow, and the lines indicating the flow of energy. Nikki already knew this stuff, but several of the girls were looking intently, trying to puzzle it out.

"Take your time," said Mrs. Woods. "If you don't see it right away, that's alright. If you lose sight of it, don't worry. With practice, you'll eventually be able to sense this without even having to physically look."

"I see it!" said one girl. "I think. I can hear a stronger hum coming from the tip."

Mrs. Woods nodded. "Very good. That's a sensitive spot for him." Mrs. Woods touched a finger to the tip of Todd's cock, causing it to twitch. She began to rub the spot lightly, and the glow there became brighter. A couple girls blinked as they, too, could now sense the stronger signal.

"Right there, Todd?" Mrs. Woods said.

"Yeah," he said. "That feels nice."

"So glad to hear it." She smiled brightly, then for the next several minutes, proceeded to rub other bright spots with her fingertips and traced them along the glowing lines. It wasn't long before Todd was squirming in his seat and his breathing got heavier. Even though her touches were light, they were stimulating him in the perfect spots. The glow around him became brighter, shifting from red to orange and working up to yellow. The other girls tried to follow along, to varying degrees of success.

"Alright," said Mrs. Woods. "I think you get the point of that. Todd is now pretty excited, as you can see. I think he'd like to step things up. Would you like that, Todd?"

Todd nodded. "Oh, yes."

"Alright," said Mrs. Woods. "Now, watch carefully. I am going to open up my own channels so you can see my energies as well as Todd's. This is hard to actually describe in words, but hopefully by following what I'm doing with my senses, you will have a better understanding." Mrs. Woods swiveled her chair to the side and had Todd do the same. The two were now facing one another, with the class to Todd's left and Mrs. Woods' right.

Unlike men, a woman's sexual aura was not normally visible to other women. Some innate defense mechanism prevented women from being able to read one another like open books the way they could men. However, if a woman chose, she could reveal herself to other women at will. Nikki now saw a glow rise around Mrs. Woods as she showed the women in the class her own aura of lust.

To Nikki's surprise, it was faint, almost too faint for even her to see. Apparently, this whole activity did not turn on Mrs. Woods at all. Nikki knew a woman didn't have to be aroused herself to use her Powers; they could get all the energy they needed from their partner. But still, Nikki was surprised at how little interest Mrs. Woods seemed to have. She wondered if maybe teaching this class had made her numb to playing with volunteers. Of course, the fact that she was here to teach, not for her own pleasure, probably had a lot to do with it as well. Despite the intimacy of what was going on, this was still a class room and still an act of instruction.

Nevertheless, Nikki was able to see as a sliver of Mrs. Woods' aura extend out from her forehead. The ethereal tendril wafted in the air for a moment, then snapped out and attached it's free end onto the tip of Todd's cock, where it mixed with Todd's own aura.

Mrs. Todd said, "Now, watch carefully. I am going to think to myself that I want Todd to feel my hand on his penis. I am picturing in my mind that I am taking my hand and grasping him firmly." The tendril from Mrs. Woods brightened slightly around her head. The brightness flowed down the tendril until it reached the glow around Todd's cock. The glow surrounding the penis began to waver slightly, shifting its form until Nikki could see the outline of an ethereal female hand gripping the organ. The hand flexed, and Todd let out a breath, and the glow around his cock shifted from bright orange into yellow.

"By visualizing the action, I can manipulate the energy around his penis to take the form I wish. In this case a hand. For most, this is easier than directly feeding energy into his penis, which we will get to another time. Now, that I have formed the hand, I'm going to want it to move." Little beads of energy rolled down the tendril from Mrs. Woods forehead and into the "wrist" of the phantom hand, which Todd could not see, but every woman in the room could sense. Every time a bead of energy touched the hand, it moved, shifting slowly up and down. "Now, once you get used to using the hand remotely, you can match it to the sensitive zones on his cock, and your magic hand will feel just as good to him as your real one." The ethereal fingertips shifted to the bright points on his penis and the hand stroked him steadily along the lines indicating the ideal paths of stimulation.

As Nikki watched, Todd's aura shone brighter, blurring through the shades of yellow as it shifted up towards white. Todd's breath started coming in short, rapid gasps and his hips jerked in his seat. The beads of energy traveled more rapidly down the tendril, causing the hand to move quicker.

"Oh, fuck," gasped Todd, gripping the edges of his seat tightly. "I'm gunna cum!" To the women in the room, this was practically the understatement of the century. Even those who had a difficult time interpreting the signals could not mistake the swell of energy around Todd, and Nikki saw the glow of his cock blaze a bright white. Todd let out a loud groan and his hips bucked up. For a moment, Nikki wondered if Mrs. Woods was going to let him shoot his load all over her, but at the last second, she jumped out of her seat and dodged to the side, as Todd came hard, shooting his semen right where she had been a moment before.

Several of the women in the class let out breaths they hadn't known they were holding. They watched as the phantom hand stroked Todd for a few minutes more, milking out the last few drops, before Mrs. Woods broke contact, and the hand dissolved away. The tendril of her aura withdrew and then her aura faded from view as she stopped making an effort to reveal it.

"And that is your basic magic handjob," said Mrs. Woods. "How do you feel, Todd?"

"Like I could use a nap," he said with a laugh, and the class chuckled with him.

"Ah, a typical man," said Mrs. Woods with a wink. "But seriously, thank you for the demonstration. If you would be so kind as to clean up your mess first, you can put your robe back on and go back to the waiting room."

Todd did so, taking a towel Liz handed him to wipe up his semen, before donning the robe, and leaving the room.

"Well, class, we have a few more men in the back ready to go. Who would like to give it a shot?" Half the class raised their hands, prompting a good-natured laugh from Mrs. Woods. "Oh, my, more than I expected. Well, we don't have enough men for all of you, but I'm sure they won't mind going a couple rounds."

PART FIVE

When Nikki got home, Mark had a guest over, his friend Jack. Jack lived a few streets away and had come over to play when they were younger. Nikki hadn't seen him in a while, but she knew the last time they met that Jack had had a crush on her. She wondered if he'd gotten over it.

The two were playing another video game, a first person shooter from the look of it. Mark looked up as Nikki entered the room. "Hey," he said. He was about to ask Nikki how class went, but then glanced to Jack and figured it best not to bring it up.

Jack turned to look at Nikki, and she immediately sensed a flair up of interest from Jack, indicating that he had not, in fact, gotten over his crush. He grinned and said, "Hey, Nikki. Haven't seen you in a while." Nikki tried very hard to ignore Jack's gaze as his eyes flicked over her body. Nikki saw the glow begin, low and dull, but still very obvious to her.

"Hey, guys," she said. She was about to dismiss herself, but then had a better idea. She stepped into the living room and pretended to be interested in what they were doing. "So, whose winning?"

"I am," said Jack. He grinned again. "Slowdraw here can't shoot for shit." He nudged Mark in the ribs. As Nikki got closer, his glow swelled a bit. It was not enough for him to get an erection, but Nikki could tell he was very attracted to her.

"Heh," said Nikki. "Tell me about it. I used to beat him all the time at these games."

"Really? Ha!"

"Yeah, yeah," said Mark. He took the opportunity to snipe Jack's character while he wasn't looking.

"Hey!" Jack snatched up the controller. "Cheater." Nikki sat down in the room on the chair next to Jack, and crossed her legs. She pretended to be engrossed in the action on the screen, but she could not mistake the frequent glances Jack gave her. The glow from him leveled off in a dull red sheen, but it didn't fade.

As she watched the screen, she very carefully drew in some energy from Jack, gathered it into her magic, and gently pushed the flow away from her. She pictured the glow she sensed from Jack getting duller. Slowly, the glow faded until it was almost gone. Nikki kept it up for another minute. She smiled slightly. She was doing it! Now that she had an idea how it worked, it was easier for her to direct the energy. She then stood and said, "Well, I have to go change."

She felt a dull throb of the glow and saw a flash in Jack's mind of her undressing. Nikki fought the urge to sigh. She let her guard drop and the full glow was in her perception again, a bit brighter this time. This was still going to take some practice to get right, much less make it second nature so she wouldn't have to consciously concentrate on blocking it out all the time. Still, even this much as a success. She went upstairs to change. As she did, she heard Jack lean over to Mark and say, "Man, I hadn't seen her in a while, but your sister is hot. No wonder you want to fuck her!"

Nikki paused at her door, out of sight from the boys, though she could easily sense Jack. She listened for what else they might say.

"Man, shut up," said Mark. "I thought you were my friend."

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding," said Jack. "Okay, low blow, I know. Sorry, man. But, um, seriously, your sister is gorgeous."

"Yeah, you've implied as such before."

"I know, but I mean, really, she's, you know, developed a bit since she went off to college." Nikki could almost sense Jack making an hourglass figure with his hands. She clearly saw in his minds eye a rather supermodellish version of Nikki. She had to admit she felt a bit flattered, even if the image was a bit comically exaggerated. Ah, teenaged boys, such wild imaginations.

"Yes, she has. She's developed Powers, too, in case you forgot. You better not be picturing her naked or anything."

This, of course, immediately prompted Jack to do so, and Nikki sighed quietly as a whole slideshow of nude images of herself, or at least Jack's perception of her, flashed through the boy's mind. "Well, I sure as hell am now!" said Jack.

"Great," said Mark. "Now she knows you're a perv."

There was pause. "What do you mean?"

"She's got the Powers, which means she can see all your dirty thoughts, remember?"

Jack made a nervous laugh. "Yeah, well... I dunno. If she wants to look, I'm not exactly going to say no. If she's not looking, no harm, no foul, right?"

"Her powers don't work like that," Mark blurted out. "She can't turn off her senses."
