“Carmedy,” I began as I reached up to scratch her behind the ear. “I think you have been slightly mistaken.”
“Oh.” The cat-girl’s eyes met mine, and her tail drooped. “You aren’t going to teach me?”
“Let me explain,” I said as I gestured for her to sit next to me on my bed.
“Sure,” she said, but she was having a hard time fighting her frown.
“The noises you heard were not Morrigan and I practicing spooky ghost noises,” I said.
“They weren’t?” she asked as she tilted her head to the side.
“No. They were the sounds of Morrigan and I making love.”
Carmedy blinked five times in a row and then her mouth opened in an “O” shape.
“Ohhhhhhh,” she said, andher cheeks began to turn bright red. “Ohhhhh! I’m so dumb! So sorry, Master! Eeeek!”
The cat-girl’s face was almost as red as a fire now, and she pressed her hands up to her eyes as she let out a nervous giggle. “Of course that’s what you both were doing! I’m so stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid Carmed--”
“You aren’t stupid,” I interrupted her as I pulled her hands away from her blushing face. “You are incredibly intelligent.”
“I am?” she asked.
“Of course,” I said. “Think of all the unique potions, powders, and herbal concoctions that you expertly craft. I doubt there are many in the world who could do that.”
“Well, I have practiced a bunch,” she said. “I dunno if that means I am smart. I know I’m kind of scatterbrain--”
“You think about your work constantly,” I said. “It is what distracts you from the mundane things around us. Still, you are there for your friends when they need you, Carmedy, and you never let your friends down. I am your all-powerful master, so believe me when I tell you that you have an incredible genius.”
“Awww, thanks,” the cat-girl said as she let out a long sigh. “That really makes me feel good. I’m super embarrassed that I didn’t realize that you and Morrigan were together.”
“Don’t worry about it,” I chuckled, and then I reached up to smooth the hair away from her cheek. Then my fingers moved behind her cat-ear again, and I started to scratch where I knew she liked me to scratch.
“Hmmm,” she sighed, blinked her eyes a few times, and then leaned into my shoulder. “I guess I should go back to my room. I was looking forward to learning how to make ghost noises. I’m so silly sometimes. Master, thank you for putting up with me.”
“You aren’t going back to your room,” I said. “I intend to make love to you tonight.”
“Wahhhh?” she gasped and then pulled away from my shoulder so that she could gawk at me.
“Yes.” I smiled at her. “Did you not say you wanted to learn how to make ghost noises?”
“Well, yeah,” she said, “but you’re with Morrigan, and she--”
“Told you to come to me,” I said as my fingers traced down her ear and teased the ties on the back of her dress. “She is your friend, and she knows you love me. She wants us to have pleasure together.”
“She does?” Carmedy’s green eyes opened wide.
“Of course,” I said. “Why else would she send you?”
“Huh,” the cat-girl mused. “She did have a funny grin on her face when she handed me the sheets. Now that I think about it, I thought she was just happy that she got a bath, but I think she wanted this. It doesn’t seem like she was trying to play a trick on me...”
“Morrigan doesn’t play tricks,” I said as I pulled on her dress tie. The cord came undone, but the maid-looking outfit still clung to her shoulders.
“Yeah,” Carmedy agreed. “Especially not on her friends. Especially not on you, Master.”
“Exactly,” I said as I traced my fingers up along her back and then moved to her shoulder. Her skin was smooth, creamy, and warm to my touch.
“But, but, but, but,” Carmedy stuttered when I touched her shoulder. “Master, I do love you, but I don’t know how to make love.”
“I will teach you,” I whispered as I leaned into her neck.
“I just don’t want to disappoint you,” she whispered, and then my lips touched the base of her neck where it met her shoulder, and she let out a small gasp of surprise.
Then her gasp turned onto a purr when my tongue began to trace small circles on her skin.
“You won’t disappoint me,” I whispered after I had kissed down her shoulder and pulled her dress away. “Just relax your body, and let it do what it naturally wants to do.”
“I’ll try, Master,” Carmedy said, and then her lips found mine as I pulled her dress down.
Her breasts were full in my hands, and her nipples hard when my fingers traced along them. After our tongues had danced together for a few moments, I brought my mouth down her chest so that I could explore her with my mouth. Carmedy gasped with delight when I kissed, sucked, and licked her nipples, and her fingers moved to take off the shirt that I had donned after my bath.
She had on a small pair of lacey underwear, with a hole cut out of the back for her tail. She wiggled her hips from side to side to assist me in sliding them off her, but then she moved her hands to cover up her vagina.
Her bashfulness only made her more alluring, and I traced my mouth, lips, and tongue across the skin of her thighs, hips, and stomach until each of her breaths were coming out in frantic pants.
Then I pulled her hand away from her womanhood and gently pushed her down on my bed. She had a small triangle-shaped patch of black hair above her vagina, and her lips already looked aroused.
“Just let the pleasure come,” I said as I kissed down her flat tummy.
“That feels so good, Master,” she whispered, but then my tongue slid around the small pearl-sized nub of flesh at the top of her womanhood, and a loud moan escaped her mouth.
“Ohhhh!” she gasped again. “Ohhhh! I made the ghost sou-- Ohhh!”
My tongue continued to work on her, and her body gently twisted on my bed as she tried to contain her pleasure. As I licked, I moved my hands up and down her naked body, and eventually found myself playing with her nipples while she groaned. When I looked up into her face, I saw that her eyes were wild, opened wide, and staring at me with absolute adoration.
Then she bit the side of her hand as the first orgasm slammed into her.
“Mmmmmuhhhh,” Carmedy growled as her hips bucked, and her eyes rolled back into her head.
I held onto her and continued the movements with my tongue while she thrashed against me, but I was careful to stop licking her as soon as it seemed she had peaked. Once she had, I gave her a few long and slow licks, and then pulled my mouth away.
For a few moments, Carmedy had trouble catching her breath, and I caressed her hips with my fingers to help her calm down. She finally managed to gain control over herself, and a long exhale left her body with a small afterquake of an orgasm.
“Master,” she whispered as she opened her big eyes to stare at me. “That was… that was… It was wonderful.”
“I’m glad you liked it,” I said as I stepped away from the bed and began to pull down my pants, I was soon naked, and the cat-girl’s eyes focused on my penis as if it was the largest piece of cake she had ever seen.
“That will fit inside of me?” she asked with equal parts awe and hunger.
“Yes,” I said, “You are very wet. Can you get on your hands and knees?”
“Yes, Master,” Carmedy agreed, and then she flipped over on the bed so that she was on her knees with her hands pressed into one of the pillows on the bed. Her ass faced in my direction, and her tail swung from side to side like a lazy pendulum.
Then Carmedy looked back at me, and she bit her lower lip as I moved to grab her hips.
“Oh, Master,” she sighed as soon as my tip pressed between her vaginal lips. Then she moaned when I slowly slid inside of her.
I felt her hymen give me a small bit of resistance, so I pulled out a bit before easing back into
her. Then I repeated the movement a few times before pressing past the tightness. The cat-girl inhaled a sharp breath when I penetrated her with my entire length, but then her body relaxed, and she pressed her ass back into me.
“Master, you are inside of me,” Carmedy gasped.
“Yes, Carmedy,” I replied as I slowly began to thrust.
“It… it… it feels so good.” She accented every word with a pant that turned into a half-purr.
“It feels very good,” I agreed, and my own voice was a moan.
“I didn’t think it would feel this amazing,” Carmedy gasped. “Morrigan was so nice to let me do this. I can’t wait to thank her.”
“Just focus on this for now,” I laughed, and then I pulled her hips a bit so that she would adjust to my rhythm. She did so, and our words became moans, gasps, and cries of pleasure for the next hour or so.
I ensured that Carmedy orgasmed half a dozen times before I allowed myself my own climax, and then we lay on our together on my bed afterward basking in the glow of our pleasure.
“That was wonderful, Master,” she purred in my ear once we had taken a few minutes to recover.
“I’m glad you enjoyed yourself,” I said, and then I gently kissed her full lips.
“I almost can’t believe it,” she giggled. “Yay! You are such a great master, and I love you so much. Ohhh. The feeling of your warm cream inside of me… it makes me feel all sweet and stuffed and warm and cozy and wonderful.”
“Well, if that is--” I started to say, but she continued talking.
“I really hope I have cute babies! Oh. My. Gosh. They would be the cutest ever. But the best part will be when I’m pregnant. I’ll have so much fun!”
“I actually did not put any seed in my--”
“I’ll be able to eat so much delicious food!” she continued. “That’s the best part. When a woman is pregnant, she can be all like ‘I need to eat this chocolate pastry; it’s for the baby, don’t you know.’ and then I can say ‘ohhh, of course I’ll have an extra helping of carrot cake. My baby needs all the vitamins and minerals in those carrots.’ But then I can also be like ‘Look at how big my belly is! It’s because my baby is healthy, not because I’ve just eaten thirteen donuts in the last half-hour. What kind of donut do I prefer? Well I love the cream-filled ones because it reminds me of when Master makes love to me, and fills me with his seed, but I really like jelly filled, or the ones with rainbow sprinkles on top.’”
“Carmedy, I don’t think people will want to know about--” I started to say, but the beautiful cat-girl had now propped herself up on my chest and was gesturing with her other hand while she continued with her monologue.
“No one will say ‘Carmedy, you can’t eat all that food. You are going to get a tummy ache.’ Instead, they will be all like ‘We can’t wait to meet your baby, Carmedy, here is a delicious snack for you to enjoy. Do you want more? That’s great! We’ll feed you all the delicacies that you want. What are you going to name him or her?’ And do you know what I will tell them, Master?”
“Uhhh, no, I--”
“Well, if we have a boy, I’ll name him ‘Hot Dog,’ since that is one of my favorite foods, but if we have a girl… Ohhh! I just don’t know what we’d name her. There are so many great names. I really like ‘Cinnamon,’ but maybe we can call her Chocolate, or ‘Vanilla’-- ohhh, ‘Vanilla’ kind of sounds like a boy name though, but it could work for a girl. Maybe ‘Sugar?’ I like that name, and I love sugar so much. But maybe it should be more sophisticated since you are a great and powerful Master. How about ‘Dark Chocolate?’ Ohhhh, I like the sound of that. I hope she has your red eyes, they are so pretty, but speaking of eyes, I maybe we should name her ‘Cupcake’ because I really love cupcakes, and they can come in all sorts of different flavors, and have lots of different toppings.
“How did eyes remind you of cupcake--” I started to ask, but the cat-girl was beyond excited now, and I knew there was no stopping here.
“Maybe she’ll have brown hair, and I can call her ‘Peanut Butter Brownie.’ I know it is a long name, but again, you are a Grand Master, and I think your offspring should have a long and prestigious name. Maybe we can call her ‘PBB’ for short. I also really like tarts, but that seems like too short of a name for someone, so maybe we can call her ‘Lemon Tart,’ or ‘Raspberry Lemon Tart,’ I ate one of those a year or so ago before I had met Rana, Morrigan, and Annalíse. They were so yummy.”
Carmedy now rested both of her elbows on my chest, and her eyes were glazed over. I guessed she imagined either a small child or a table full of deserts. The words continued to pour out of her mouth, but while part of my mind listened her plan for our child’s name, the other part of me contemplated how much I adored the eager cat girl. She was so carefree, honest, and grateful for everything in her life, and I realized that I never wanted to go a day without her.
Nor did I want to go a day without Morrigan, or Annalíse, or Rana.
The centuries of solitude and anger had made my heart grow cold, but now I knew that I cared deeply for my minions, and I wanted them all to be happy.
I wanted them all to be happy with me.
“Carmedy?” I asked, and somehow my questioning voice interrupted her explanation of why she thought ‘Blue Berry Ice Cream’ was a better name for our baby than ‘Strawberry Ice Cream’.
“Yes, Master?” she asked.
“Do you really wish to carry my child?” I asked.
“Oh yes.” She nodded, and her eyes filled with adoration as she looked at my face.
“Morrigan also wants to bear me a child,” I said.
“Oh,” Carmedy said, and her face fell a bit.
“No,” I chuckled. “That doesn’t mean you cannot have the opportunity. As far as I am concerned, you can both carry my offspring.”
“Ohhhh!” she said as her face lit up. “Then we can eat all the yummy sweets together, and we can pat each other’s bellies, and say ‘your tummy looks so good and beautiful, your baby is going to be so wonderful, and I can’t wait for our babies to play together. Oh. My. Gosh. They will be siblings. Does that mean that Morrigan and I will be sisters? She’s so sophisticated and pretty. I think that I’d be all shy introducing her to everyone as my sister because--’”
“Please let me finish,” I chuckled, and Carmedy gave me a meek grin.
“Yes, Master.”
“We have much work to do,” I continued. “I have complete control over my body, so while I filled you, there is no seed, and you will not become pregnant from tonight’s pleasurable activities.”
“But?” she asked as she bit her lip with anticipation.
“When we have conquered all the dungeons we need, and increased my power to fulfill my ends. Then I will give you a child to nurture and love as much as you love me, Annalíse, Morrigan, Rana, and food. In the meantime, I need you to perfect your alchemy arts, improve your combat prowess, to serve me faithfully, and make love with me often. Will you commit to that agreement?”
“Yes, Master,” Carmedy purred as she threw herself down on my chest and hugged me. “Yes. I will do all those things. I don’t even need to think about it. I am so happy right now. Thank you for being so kind to me.”
“Of course,” I said as I wrapped my arms around her. “Now let us sleep.”
I waited for Carmedy’s response, but she didn’t then I leaned my head down a bit so that I could look at her face.
She was already asleep, and a wide smile was painted on her face as she dozed.
“Good night, my beautiful cat-girl,” I whispered, and then I joined her in slumber.
Chapter 14
The next morning, we said our goodbyes to Rana along with Fea and Anu at the Golden Lamb and set out for the next dungeon. As we rode through the sandy streets of Ficcha atop our riding lizards, the bustling and noises and smells of the city gradually began to fade away. Before long, we were back in the untamed desert and with it, the extreme heat, since the sun was no longer
kept at bay by the shade of the tall buildings. Carmedy passed around salve and cooling powders for each of us, and just like before, we each opted to save them for later.
As Carmedy handed me my leaf of mint-scented pink powder, she gave me a wide smile, batted her eyelashes at me, and then blushed when I returned her smile. We didn’t speak of last night, but it was clear that she was delighted with the progression of our relationship.
“It’s a lot quieter without a certain fox around,” Annalíse joked after we had traveled mostly in silence.
I thought of Rana, and a smile came to my lips. Annalíse had been right, it was indeed much quieter without the smart-mouthed fox. I had grown used to her quick-witted remarks, and now that she was gone, I realized how much I missed them and her. Her unfiltered comments and unique sense of humor always seemed to make long stretches of travel time go by more quickly. I knew that it was best that Rana stayed behind in Ficcha, since she was most suited for gathering intelligence on Alistair’s castle defenses, but I still couldn’t help but wish that the red-headed woman was here with us, complaining about how miserable the heat was or telling us how lost we would have gotten without her.
The hours crawled by, and the sun climbed higher and higher into the sky. I was thankful for the salve and the cooling powders that Carmedy had concocted as the heat was even more relentless than it had been yesterday. As we continued our desert journey, we only came upon two men riding on camels toward Ficcha. Other than them, we encountered no other signs of life.
“Are we almost there?” Carmedy moaned after several hours had passed.
“We should be soon,” Annalíse said as she looked down at the compass Rana had leant her. “It should only be another hour or so.”
“Are you certain that we are traveling in the right direction?” Morrigan said to Annalíse.
“Yes, Rana said the next dungeon is just a straight shot from Ficcha,” Annalíse reminded the elf as she raised a hand to her eyes and looked at the terrain ahead of us. “As long as I keep the needle pointed north, we’ll be fine. According to Rana, it’s so easy, even we can handle it on our own.”
