“Thank you,” I tell her. She nods and hurriedly walks back the way we came.
“Let me check the room out first,” Bryan says, as he opens the door to the green room. He goes in and checks the room out, and even gets on his hands and knees and looks under the bed. He gets back up and waves me inside.
I walk into the room, and it’s not much to look at. There is a bed and a piece of furniture which I assume is the dresser, but the only thing on it is a large bowl and a large candle holder with three candles burning away and giving off light. On the wall behind the bed is an oil lantern burning away, giving off more light into the room, making it brighter. In the corner is a small wooden seat with a lid. Jesus fucking hell! Is that a chamber pot? One thing I learned in the last couple of days of traveling is how to do my business in the woods. But this? And I have Leeha in the room with me? I mean, I guess I’m spoiled from having flushing toilets on Earth. Though, I know there are still places on Earth that don’t have those.
I hear the door close, so I turn around, and Leeha had come in. She sees the look on my face and must realize what I had been looking at, since she laughs quietly and says, “Don’t worry. I will leave the room before you decide to use it.”
“We need to be careful what we say,” Bryan says. “The walls might have ears.”
“Really?” I ask him in surprise. “Why?”
“To find out our business? Where we are going? There are gangs in the cities who pay good money to know where someone is traveling to and then pass that information on.”
“And then meet you on the way to either rob you or kill you,” Leeha says just as quietly, in a voice that is barely above a whisper.
“Is there anything we can do to make it so others can’t hear us?” I ask quietly.
Leeha shakes her head. “No, I don’t know how you would do that?”
“Well, since the walls are wood, what if I cause them to vibrate enough that people won’t be able to hear us through them?” I say, looking at them. They both look at me blankly.
“You lost us, I think, Alex,” Leeha says slowly. “What is vibrate?”
Crap, they don’t understand the concept of vibration? “Hmm. Put your hand on your throat and hum,” I tell them.
They both look at me strangely, but follow my directions. “That sensation you are feeling is the vibration of your voice. Now, if I can use Earth magic to make the wood vibrate like that, hard enough that it can interrupt sound going through the walls, folks on the other side won’t hear us. Right now, when we talk our voices are carried to the walls, and folks can listen in on us. But, if I can cause the walls to vibrate, the sound won’t get through to someone on the other side. Hell, I am sure I could do it with Water as well.”
Leeha rushes up to me and grabs my leather jerkin. “How!” she asks excitedly, almost forgetting to be quiet.
I look around the room and focus on the walls. How can I do it with water so that she can do it as well? I mean, having water on the walls would just make it wet. But what if I put a thin layer of water vapor between the walls? Water can conduct sound, but not well. But if you add a space between the wall and the water? I walk to the wall and place my hand on it, thinking of something that might work.
Water. When I get a water globe in my hand, I follow up with Thin Water Vapor Wall, and I imagine a thin layer of water on the door and ceiling.
Thin Water Wall of Vapor used. 100 points of power used.
What the hell? Did it change the name? I guess it does sound better. Even so, what I had named it sounded cool to me too! Anyway, moving on. I don’t bother with the floor. Yet. Once I’m done, I turn to Bryan and say, “Go outside, close the door, and we will try talking loudly.”
Bryan looks at me oddly but nods and heads to the door. He opens it, steps out, and closes it.
“Now, can you hear me, Bryan?” I say in a loud enough voice that he should hear us, if it were a normal door, with normal walls. “Bryan! Come in!” I shout—still nothing.
A minute later the door opens again and Bryan walks in, looking at us inquisitively after closing the door.
“Nothing?” Leeha asks him excitedly. “Alex was practically shouting, telling you to come into the room.”
“No way?” Bryan says with astonishment on his face.
“Well, good to know that works,” I begin to say, but Leeha is back in front of me, her gaze intent.
“How did you do it?” she asks me emphatically.
“Easy, what you do-” but I stop as there is a knock on the door. Bryan goes to the door quickly, his hand on his sword, and cracks it open. Then he opens it wider.
It’s Priscilla. She has a large tray in her hand, and as she comes in she is followed by two men. One has a large round table top and wooden legs? Are they going to put a table together in here?
“All right, I got the food you ordered, including the second helping for yourself, my Lord,” she says.
The man with the round tabletop fits the legs into four holes on the bottom of the table, and I hear them click. He then proceeds to turn it over and places it down in front of the bed. The second man comes in behind him with two chairs and places them around the table. Once they are done, they both bow my way and leave.
Priscilla puts three bowls of stew on the table, followed by four mugs. One of the mugs is chipped and looks like it’s seen better days. Then she takes a loaf of bread from the tray and places it next to that mug. I can tell that the bread is hard even from where I’m standing as when she sets it down, it makes a thunking noise.
“There you go, my Lord. Da wanted to know if you will be wanting breakfast in the morning?” Priscilla asks me.
Hmm, I think that might be a good idea as we have no clue where we are going. Leeha never really went into why she was coming to the city in the first place in detail, other than looking for work. The city of Lomar. But since I had nowhere else to go, I figured I would come here as well.
Bryan came because he was following me, but he said he would be leaving me here as he needs to go to his Order to get news of me to his mentor, who he said was the Grand Commander of the Knights of the Falling Star. Apparently it will take him about two weeks of hard riding by horse to get to their headquarters, northwest of Lomar.
“Yes,” I tell her, nodding to her with a smile. “Can I get the same again? For myself two orders, and one for my bodyguard,” I tell her.
“Nothing for your slave? Good idea. Don’t want to spoil them,” she says, nodding. “That’d be three silver. You can pay me now, or Da in the morning,” she finishes.
Shit, forgot to add that. Well, good thing the second serving is for Leeha. And is that the attitude of everyone here towards anyone not human? Fucking hell. I take out three silver and hand them to her, and like with her dad, they disappear faster than I thought possible.
“Good night, my Lord. Sleep well. If you need a sleeping companion, just ask my Da,” Priscilla says with a knowing smile and heads back out the open door, closing it behind her.
“Fucking bitch,” Leeha says vehemently.
“I kind of have to agree,” I tell her, bringing her into a hug and kissing the top of her head. “Shall we eat?” I tell them.
“Oh, hell yeah,” Bryan says with enthusiasm, grabbing one of the chairs and starting to sit down. But then he stops, looks embarrassed, and utters, “Sorry, Leeha, you can have the chair.”
“Sit,” I tell him before Leeha can answer. “I will sit on the edge of the bed.”
Chapter Fourteen
I sigh and sit back, and looking around, I can tell we all enjoyed the meal. Even the ale, other than being room temperature, was good. I hadn’t been sure about eating sheep, or mutton as the innkeeper called it, but it was surprisingly good with the bread—even the day-old bread, which we had split three ways. I just took mine, broke it up into pieces, and put it into the stew to soften it. When Bryan and Leeha saw me doing that, they followed suit, seeing as how my piece had become soft with the juic
es from the stew.
“I should get to my room and sleep, to get ready for the morning,” Bryan says, taking the last sip of his ale.
“You sure you need to leave us so soon?” I ask him, taking the last sip of my ale as well. I am going to miss Bryan and his ugly face. He had been a pleasant traveling companion for the last couple of days.
“Yes. I will be gone before the sun is up as I have quite a ways to travel. I will let the innkeeper know that you sent me on a chore, and I am to meet you on the road. I will get myself a horse and head to see my Grand Commander. Thank you for the extra gold. That will come in handy on my travels,” he tells me gratefully.
“Do you have enough with just the gold I gave you?” I ask him, concerned with his expenses considering how far and how long he needs to travel.
Nodding, he says, “Yes. I don’t need to pay for a horse, as our Order keeps a stable in each city for our use in case of emergencies. So I will grab one and go. I hope to reach the city of Salla within two weeks.”
He gets up and bows to me and says, “Be safe, Elemental Summoner. I shall try to come back to you and be by your side as you grow in power.” And with that, he bows to Leeha as well and heads out the door, leaving Leeha and me alone.
“I will clear the table and bring the stuff to the kitchens. Please get ready for bed yourself,” Leeha says with a smile.
“No, I can get it,” I start to tell her, but she shakes her head.
“No, they expect it of me as your slave, and they would look at it as odd if I did not bring the dishes down. I will leave my mug of water there, as it’s expected of me to eat and drink only once you are asleep. Sit, I won’t be very long. Be sure to lock the door behind me, and only let me in on three knocks,” she tells me intently, gathering the bowls and mugs.
“Three knocks. Got it,” I tell Leeha with a smile.
Once she is gone, I lock the door and sit on the bed, trying to figure out the sleeping arrangements. I mean, I know what I want, but that’s my libido talking. Except for the fact that she has been sleeping next to me in the woods every night and I can tell the tension is there between us. But you know what? I am going to be a gentleman. I will sleep on the floor and give her the bed. There are two pillows on the bed, so I will take one of them.
My thoughts are interrupted by three knocks on the door. I get off the bed and rush to the door, unlocking the bolt that is there, and crack it open. It’s Leeha. I open the door wider and she slides in, and then I close and lock it behind me once more.
As I still have the spell running, I imagine the Thin Water Wall of Vapor covering the door as well. In a way, it’s helping us, since when I opened the door I could hear loud noises coming from the inn’s common room. It makes sense, folks coming to drink at night as it gets dark. This way, we can have peace and quiet and sleep without the noise bothering us.
Leeha looks at me nervously, and so I say, “I will sleep on the floor tonight. You can have the bed.” She goes to open her mouth-I am sure to refuse my offer-but I say quickly, “I insist. I will grab a pillow and sleep on the floor next to you,” I tell her, pointing to the side of the bed without the chamber pot.
Leeha looks confused and says, “You have me alone, and you wish to sleep on the floor?”
“Well, it’s just that we have just met, and I don’t want to take advantage of you,” I tell her awkwardly, seeing the hurt look she has on her face. What the hell? I am trying to be the good guy here!
She walks up to me until her breasts are against me, and looks up at me. “Alex. What if I want you?” she says softly, not taking her eyes off me, and wrapping her arms around my chest.
“You want me?” I ask her quietly. She nods at me but doesn’t say anything. I smile down at her and then bend and kiss her softly on the lips. Seconds later, I feel her tongue opening my mouth, and the kiss becomes more passionate. I wrap my arms around her and bring her closer to me.
Suddenly, we are both tearing away our clothes, and let me tell you, a leather jerkin isn’t as easy to remove as one would think. Leeha’s clothes are easier to get out of since hers are more like a bikini set, but I’m wearing full leather pants, boots, and the jerkin. Oh, and apparently underwear isn’t a thing here. Either that or God forgot to give some to me, so full commando it is.
Once I am undressed, I look at Leeha, and am amazed at her nude body. She is slim but with large breasts that ride low on her, but not saggy in any way, and they beg to be sucked. So I do just that, bringing up one of her breasts and sucking the nipple, causing her to grab the back of my head and moan in pleasure. With my other hand, I reach behind her and cup one of her firm ass cheeks. I play with her nipple for a couple of minutes until she is panting.
She puts her face into my neck and says in a lusty voice, “Alex, please. It’s been so long.”
I nod and have to agree. It’s been over a year since I had sex on Earth. So, I lift her and bring her to the bed and place her on it. I get on top of her and slowly lower myself over her face and kiss her again. She opens her legs and grabs my ass, as if she is trying to push me into her by force alone. I can feel my hard cock pressing against her, but I don’t push in yet.
I pull back from our kiss and ask her softly, “You are sure?”
She nods but says to me with hesitation in her face and voice, “Only if you want to.”
I smile down at her and don’t say anything but instead reach down, grab my hard cock, and place it against her wet pussy. Slowly I push the tip of my cock into her, and she opens her eyes wide in pleasure. She is trying to grab my ass and push me in quicker, but I don’t let her. I continue to go slow, pushing more and more of my hard cock into her pussy, and I can feel how tight she is.
“Oh Gods,” she says breathlessly.
“Are you all right?” I ask her softly. I can see her wince every once in a while.
“Yes, I just did not expect you to be so fucking big,” she says with a small laugh. “Either that or it’s been longer for me than I thought.”
I nod and smile at her before bending down and kissing her. I wasn’t a small guy on Earth, and it seems that God made me even bigger here on Boromour. I don’t know how big I am, but I would say easily ten or eleven inches now, with more girth. As I push myself deeper and deeper into her, her arms suddenly wrap around my neck, and her kisses get harder and harder. Soon my cock is fully buried in her soft, wet pussy.
I start to bring my cock out, and I can feel her muscles squeezing me. I don’t bring myself out fully, only about four inches, and then I slowly go back in again, starting a rhythm. Suddenly, I feel her pussy squeeze me even harder, and she buries her face into my neck-or more like squeezes my neck so hard, she brings me down on top of her-as she cums around my cock.
I hadn’t stopped thrusting in and out of her, and I can feel my own need coming to a head, but I am not ready to finish yet. I get up on my knees, grab her legs and bring them up and out to the side, and my cock goes even deeper into her pussy, making her moan and close her eyes. Without me asking, Leeha grabs her legs and brings them even closer to her head, which is perfect for what I want to do.
I reach between us, with my cock still going in and out of her, and I put a thumb on her clit. It’s engorged and hard. She has pubic hair, but it’s fine and blond like the hair on her head, and well-trimmed. When my thumb touches her clit, Leeha’s eyes open wide in shock.
“Alex?” she asks me, sounding uncertain, but her voice is husky with desire.
“Yes?” I say, not stopping my in and out action, or the rubbing of her clit with my thumb, which is causing her hips to move up and down.
“Oh Gods,” she says, not answering me but closing her eyes instead. I can feel her cumming; her pussy is squeezing me in waves, and her legs are shaking. Not changing the speed of my cock as I go in and out of her pussy, even though all I want to do is slam it into her, I keep it up. I lay my hand flat just above her clit and start to play with the hard nub faster, her slick juices making i
t easier to go up and down with my thumb.
Suddenly, her eyes open wide in surprise and she utters, “Alex, what the fuck!”
Without any further warning, she cums hard, but that’s not the only surprise. Abruptly, something wet hits my stomach. Fuck, did she just squirt? Suddenly, my own passion, my own needs, and my own wants come crashing down, and the fact that I just made her squirt is too much for me. I can’t help but pick up my pace and do what I wanted to do to her earlier, and I begin to slam my cock harder into her wet pussy.
Eventually, it reaches a crescendo, and I end up grunting as a massive orgasm that I can feel starting at my toes overtakes me. I’m fairly sure I see stars at the end. Exhausted, I fall on top of Leeha, breathing hard, with my face buried in her neck, kissing her.
“Fuck,” is all Leeha says, but there is awe in her voice.
“Yeah, you can say that again,” I tell her, breathing hard but slowly catching my breath. Fucking hell, that was amazing. My cock, while not rock hard, has stayed hard and is twitching inside her pussy. I lift myself so that I am looking down at her and I kiss her softly on her beautiful lips. She looks amazing with her cerulean blue eyes and so I say, “God, you’re beautiful,”
And then, without warning, she begins to cry.
Chapter Fifteen
I look down at Leeha, who is crying, and I can’t understand why. Did I do something wrong? Did I hurt her inadvertently?
“Leeha?” I ask her softly, moving until I am lying next to her, and I caress her face with my hand. “What’s wrong?” I ask her worriedly, turning her face towards me gently.
“This,” she says, waving around. “Us. That was the most amazing sex I have ever had. I should be happy. I should be honored. But all I feel is scared,” she says, turning over so that her face is in the pillow and her beautiful ass is facing me.
“Scared? Of what?” I ask her, confused.
“That you won’t want me anymore now that you know what it’s like making love to one of us Elves,” she says miserably.
