“Pugward you can not hurt any of these girls." Malika ordered with mock sternness.

"Great." He turned back to the girl he'd been talking to who he was happy to see had found some colour in her cheeks again.

“So there, I gotta do what she says don't I? Now ya don't have to shit yourself.

C'mere and I'LL show you what that in your hand does."

The girl was hesitant but another of the remaining three, a tall girl with long blonde hair who looked almost as old as Malika lowered her head. Pugward was pleased to see that this was also one of the girls who had shed her cloak in favour of a silver chain about her hips and a golden tiara on her head. Everything else remained bare for his viewing pleasure as she leaned close to him. He reached out and lightly touched his fingers to the sides of her head, her blonde hair was full and luscious to the touch. There was a moment of absolute silence throughout the room before the imp released her and she stood upright.

The girl seemed a Little puzzled for a moment before she looked down at the beautiful lute in her hand that was decorated with gold leaf patterns. She brought it up to the proper position and began to play as if she'd practiced all her life. The music that filled the hall was as beautiful as she was and she Laughed as she played. The remaining two girls bumped their heads together as they both leaned toward Pugward after seeing what he had done. They had never heard music before and found it to be one of the most incredible things they had ever known.

The imp chuckled and did the same for them both and they joined in playing their harp and the flute respectively. Another harp was added to the melodious song they all played together after Pugward Lifted the first girl from her impromptu sleep and gave her the gift of music.

Once they were all playing the imp stood back and admired his handy work. The music had the desired effect, for through no spell or influence on his part other than the harmless music they played, the women began to dance. More cloaks were shed as they got in the way of the movements and he got to watch them experiment with the different tunes and what movements they enjoyed. He was having the time of his life until he felt two pairs of hands grab him from behind.

“Hey! What gives?" He asked as Shanti and Malika lifted him above their heads.

“Well Pugward, we want to thank you for all you've done but we're not doing anything with you until you've had a bath." Shanti told him with a rather evil smirk.

“Hey no, wait...I'm an imp. We don't bloody well get wet! We're like cats and, er, deserts! Yeah." He began to wriggle in their grasp trying to escape but they weren't having it. What's more since Malika was holding him Like this he couldn't get free.

“No Pugward, you're like something the cat dragged in." Malika spoke as they carried him out of the treasury. The apprentices all followed along with them Laughing cheerfully at the spectacle.

“Aw c'mon guys. You don't need to do this. I'll sleep at the bottom of the bed, down wind." He promised as he struggled even more when he saw the large pool of water he was about to be thrown into.

“Wouldn't you rather sleep between us?" Shanti asked him, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

This put Pugward in a harsh position since although his aversion to bathing was a thorough part of his psyche, so was wanting to nestle between two ridiculously attractive women every night. Malika took his silence as an opportunity and cast a simple spell to heat the large bathing pool to heat it up. They then dunked him under the water unceremoniously to the cheers and Laughter of the apprentices. When he arose coughing and spluttering he found Malika had released him to strip out of her new clothes and Shanti alone was holding him in the water.

Shanti really should have been a great deal more worried when she saw the wolfish grin form on his mouth. Without Malika's touch to keep him under control he was easily able to send Shanti flying over his head to land on her back in the water. This brought about more hoots of laughter from the girls as they started to run into the enormous pool of hot water. Pugward took the initiative and hopped out of the pool but turned back to sit on the edge and cast a spell that turned the entire pool into an oversized jaccuzi with bubbles of air lifting throughout the water making the girls squeal with surprise and delight.

Pugward watched Shanti emerge from beneath the water and it was her turn to grin at him. He wondered why for a few long moments until he felt himself be trapped by two long legs at either side of where he was sat and felt Malika's hands wrap gently about his waist. She had slipped up behind him to sit at the edge of the pool, her Long legs dangling in the water either side of where he was stood.

“Aw bugger." Pugward admitted defeat.

That was met with a melodic Laugh from Malika.

"Oh Pugward we only want to wash you so we can play with you some more don't we Shanti?" Malika gave him an affectionate squeeze and he felt his head rest up between her large tits.
