Uleni's Gamble

by D. R. Rosier

  “We will probably need to chase down Riese once his people are down. This is very important, we need him to die to win and push this unwanted god off of our world. I can handle that part, but only when Riese and his army is dead.”

  He answered a few questions, and deflected a few, keeping the knowledge he needed to keep secret a secret. He had given his oath, and although mentioning Riese needed to die to get the god away from their world, it didn’t really touch on the parts he had to hide.

  They returned to their rooms for a late dinner, there really wasn’t much else he needed to do, just give the military time to build what they would need. He planned on just spending time with his family for the next two days, minus anything else that came up of course, he wouldn’t hide…

  Sara’s stomach fluttered as she glanced toward Justin. She had talked to his mates, and they had been all for her plan and let her have tonight with Justin, none doubted he would say yes if she asked him, but all of them had wondered if she was up to it.

  She was wondering that herself, since she hadn’t asked him yet.

  He made her feel out of control, like her emotions were in charge, and she ached for him. It made her feel vulnerable. Out of control and vulnerable were hard for her to deal with considering her past, but she trusted Justin. With determination she got up and walked over to him, took his hand and led him to the second bedroom. She really hoped she wouldn’t faint as her breathing picked up.

  She said softly, “Would you take me, or really, let me take you with the intentions for more?”

  She felt his concern when he said, “Are you sure you’re ready? I’m sure you can feel I would love too.”

  She blushed at that, she could very much feel his lust at the idea, but again, like with his mates it was tied up with tenderness and love.

  “I think so, it would help if I was in control.”

  He started stripping and then laid out on the bed, looking into her eyes he winked and said, “Is this good? You on top? Or… if you want, you can get some rope, that might be fun actually…”

  She grinned and said, “Maybe next time,” and started getting undressed. He looked really good, his body was in shape, his muscle definition obvious but not exaggerated.

  She felt his eyes on her, and his lust rise as he looked over her body. But when she looked over at him, she could see how in control he was, and patient, just lying there waiting. Her breasts weren’t as big as Nicole’s, but at eighteen her generous C cups were still perky and sticking straight out, firm and supple. Her nipples were hard, whether from his gaze or the room’s temperature, or both, she wasn’t sure.

  Her fair skin was flawless, with the exception of a freckle on one cheek, adding to her beauty as her long strawberry blonde hair framed her face and teased the curves of her body down to her ass. She had always hated how attractive she was, it made things… harder for her. But she loved the way he was looking at her now, despite the feeling of vulnerability it engendered. She realized after a moment she had just been standing there, letting him stare at her naked body, she blushed and moved toward the bed.

  Her body tingled as she straddled him, and the feeling of her warmth as it brushed against his tool shocked her body with pleasure. Her breasts felt very tight as her nipples grew even further. Her skin touched his as she moved to kiss him. Strangely it occurred to her as their lips met, that this was their first kiss. She was tentative and he didn’t try and rush her, letting her set the pace.

  She moaned as she felt him harden between her pleasantly tingling core and his stomach. She kissed him deeply and moved her hips forward and back, the sensation of his hard length running across her silken folds caused her to gasp. She deepened the kiss even further, sliding her tongue into his warm mouth and realized he was being so cautious his hands were still on the bed. She needed to feel him touch her, her breathless request sounded more like a desperate plea.

  “Touch me. I want your hands on me Justin.”

  She felt him softly squeeze her breasts, then arched her back and ground herself on his shaft as she felt him brush her nipples with his thumbs. She reached under herself, pulling his length to the right angle, then slowly lowered herself down. He was so big, it took time for her body to accommodate his length. She ground herself against him when she felt their bodies come together.

  The feeling of pleasure was so intense, both from feeling so full, and the wondrous sensations running through her body from her core. As well as the feelings that came from Justin as her hot silken warmth welcomed and pleasured his manhood. She couldn’t feel what he felt of course, just the emotions themselves. She was drowning in the pleasure they were both feeling.

  She just sat there for a moment, as he teased her nipples again, then ran his fingertips down the curves of her body and back up.

  He got a concerned look on his face when she hadn’t moved for about a minute and said, “Are you sure you are ready for this?”

  She almost giggled, if he had any idea what she was feeling right now, he would know what a stupid question that was… There was an idea, she had only ever used her talent to detect, and harm those that meant her harm. What if she did exactly that, let him see how she was feeling?

  *

  Justin was waiting for her to answer the question, wondering if this was about to come to an end. He had been controlling his emotions the best he could, and he could control himself, but she was so beautiful it had been all he could do to just lay there and not touch her.

  He smiled, at least he finally got to touch her hair. Other parts too, her body was exquisitely proportioned and her skin was as soft and smooth as he had imagined. He loved her though, if she couldn’t continue he would understand, despite the bliss of being buried in her wet silken heat.

  Then he felt his pleasure more than double and he gasped. He realized right away some of the emotion didn’t feel like his exactly, and realized she was projecting her emotions to him. It didn’t take long to understand why she hadn’t moved yet, if she was feeling his as well.

  There was feedback aspect to it as well it seemed, he could feel them both building toward a climax now, as he just stayed engulfed in her heaven.

  But then she did move, and they gasped as one, as she started to grind in little circles. He teased her breasts and grazed her nipples again and felt his pleasure go up. It was kind of weird, but at the same time awesome, instant feedback. He started exploring her sexy body, finding all her places, between his power guiding him, and the instant feedback, it didn’t take long for him to find the best ones.

  His breathing was getting harsh, and she started mewling in pleasure, she raised herself up his length to once again impale herself on his manhood.

  She said breathlessly, “Oh goddess Justin, you feel so good in me.”

  He slid his fingertips down the side of her body and across her leg, and found her button with his thumb. He pushed down on it gently, her clit peaking out of her hood, and they both lost it.

  She screamed in ecstasy and he grunted loudly as he expanded within her. He felt her velvety heat as it grasped and undulated, milking his offering to her womb. He almost passed out at the intensity of feeling his and her orgasm all at the same time.

  It had definitely been worth the wait. When they came down, he put his fingertips on her face, and she followed them as he pulled his hands back, he kissed her tenderly. She bit his lip then deepened the intensity of their kiss, claiming his mouth with her own, he moaned softly at the taste of her tongue as it dove past his lips.

  She moaned into his mouth when he felt himself hardening to his full length once again. He was pretty confident touching her now, he just knew he shouldn’t do anything even playfully rough, and they continued to make love for another couple of rounds.

  When they were getting dressed, he turned to her and asked, “Will you join me for sleep? I think you know I’ve already loved you for quite a while, I don’t believe I am jumping the gun by asking you to be
my intended mate so soon, am I?”

  He had almost said us, meaning his mates, but reminded himself he was in separate relationships, his mates would be there, but it wasn’t really about them. What existed between him and Sara was theirs alone. In reality, the ladies had to get along, or things would get complicated, but he wasn’t worried in this case. All of them already loved Sara as much as he did, if not in the same way.

  Sara shook her head a bright smile on her face, “No, it isn’t too soon. I’d love to.”

  He felt her love and happiness as she sent it to him. He wondered at that, why she didn’t just say it back, but then, actually feeling it added a certain dimension, made mere words seem trite. So he walked over and caressed her face, kissed her softly, and made sure she knew the depth of every emotion he felt for her…

  Trina watched wistfully as Justin led Sara to his bed, to join the rest of his mates for sleep. She wasn’t jealous of Justin of course, she didn’t begrudge any love Sara could find. She loved Sara and wanted the best for her. She just wished that they could share a connection too. She had sensed Sara was curious, but that wasn’t what Trina wanted.

  There was a part of her as well, that didn’t think she deserved Sara at all. She really wasn’t a good person, she had helped yes. But first because of twisted logic, then she had stayed because helping him win would keep her safe. Now she stayed because of her feelings for Sara. It was all selfish, all for herself.

  She wondered if what she had gone though, and the path she took in life, had destroyed any capacity for true empathy in her soul. Which was ironic, considering she was in love with an empath… she wondered if she could ever get it back, heal from what she was, what she had done. Perhaps the only way to change was to pretend, she could pretend at first, wear a mask, and hope that one day it would be her true face. After all, she did feel some guilt, if she couldn’t change, why would she care at all?

  Riese swept through Egeria as quickly as he could, but it was taking time. He set up a camp about ten miles from the border, and he was moving from town to town by himself. He did not fear death, and the people that did not convert, had no idea what he was. Usually be the time they figured out their magic wouldn’t work, he had already gutted them.

  Those that he gathered at the towns he left simple instructions, gather all the bows and arrows you can find, and head to the camp for weapon training. He realized quickly under the old style of war, magic was often the most used, if not only used distance weapon. Without it, the few soldiers that bothered with distance weapons wouldn’t be good enough.

  The ones converted may not have his god acquired knowledge and experience in combat, but they were all prime warriors in speed, reflex and strength. It wouldn’t take them long to improve in sword use, or even at least become decent at firing a bow. Still, he hated taking the time, as soon as he was done recruiting, he would take the war back to Abelaweth.

  He had grand plans, he decided since Abelaweth was in the middle, he would build a new city named after him once he was undisputed ruler of all three. He would become the first emperor of Cytherea. He frowned, there would have to be a new name for their world. He decided the rulers of the three kingdoms would be under his authority, and he considered a test of arms, let those who were the best fighters rule under him.

  It wouldn’t be long now, he only had a few towns to go, then the capitol. No… it wouldn’t be long now.

  Katrina laid there in bed, unable to sleep. She loved to pleasure Justin with her mouth, how she could control it, bringing him to a fast finish as she woke him in the morning, amidst his other mates and the women she now considered sisters while they slept. Or she could keep him right on the edge, teasing him for a long time, when they were alone. She loved the feeling it gave her, in fact, she quite often got off on it.

  Smaller orgasms to be sure, but they were still orgasms.

  She also felt a little dirty when she cleaned up after her sisters. She had enjoyed tasting Nora on his manhood that first time, which was an accident. She wasn’t really attracted to women, but the idea of it was so dirty it thrilled her, and it wasn’t like she hated the taste, quite the opposite.

  She had enjoyed the different tastes as he added more intended mates. And her mind spun as she stared at the ceiling, unable to sleep. Simply because she was absolutely dying to taste Sara off his hardening cock, the thought got her wet at least an hour ago, and kept her that way. It was the middle of the night and everyone else was asleep, so she just had to, if she ever wanted to get any sleep tonight.

  As quietly as possible, she maneuvered between his legs, uncovered his cock and slurped it into her warm eager mouth. She closed her eyes, concentrating on the sensation of his manhood growing inside her mouth, licking and sucking him as he slowly filled her mouth. The new taste of Sara along with the salty taste of his juice made her moan, she couldn’t help but reach between her legs and tease her slit with a fingertip.

  When he was fully extended, she started to get to work, bringing him toward his bliss even while he was still asleep. She expertly brought him pleasure with her oral skills. She felt his right leg jerk, like it normally does when he awakens, but his left leg hadn’t moved.

  She peered peripherally to her right, and saw the blanket moving between Sara’s legs and her eyes widened as she looked up. She looked at the expression of pleasure on Sara’s face, Sara was staring at her pleasuring Justin with her mouth. She had always wondered what would happen if she got caught.

  When their eyes met, it was like she was struck by lightning, and she immediately felt her center explode in bliss along with a flush of shame that turned her on more, she sucked harder as her body tried to gasp, eyes locked together she could see the moment Sara followed her over into ecstasy. It was so intense. Without conscious thought, instead of stopping, or even going faster, she kept eye contact with Sara and started to go slower, giving her newest sister a show as she pleasured Justin’s manhood.

  They never spoke, but they reached their bliss two more times, piercing green and light brown eyes locked together. Sara clearly enjoyed the watching as much as she had enjoyed the showing, before Justin woke and filled her mouth with his seed…

  Chapter 10

  Justin quickly realized his plan to spend time with the family for two days was naĂŻve. Apparently the soldiers were having trouble figuring out how to use the sights, so he was on a field, giving a class to a hundred men at a time on how to aim. They made some targets and gave everyone five practice shots from fifty yards out.

  If they could hit the target consistently in the same spot, he would zero their sights for precise shooting and set up sniper teams, at the end of the day there were only a handful of those. If they hit the target, but all over, he just gave them a pass. Most of the soldiers fell into that category, but about five percent couldn’t aim at the ground and hit it, so those went back to bows and arrows for distance shooting.

  He spent ten hours, thirty minutes per class, which was only about a third of the soldiers at the end of the day. Luckily Nora had started a second class when he got his third group, so they should have them all finished by noon tomorrow. He felt kind of stupid about it actually, handing out weapons and not teaching people how to aim, squeeze the trigger, or hold their breath halfway through an exhale.

  Still, they were getting it done. When they got to the first ambush point at the border, they might even have time for more training, he was kind of rushing things so they wouldn’t be caught unprepared. The last thing he wanted was to go down there and find burned out villages.

  They were all invited to dinner with the king and prince Anton. So after Sally got them all cleaned up they got dressed and followed Nicole to the dining room. Despite taking a leadership role the last few days, only because he knew how non-magic wars were fought, he felt distinctly uncomfortable as everyone stared at them when they came in.

  Apparently this wouldn’t be a
little dinner with the king, it was crowded with people. He could almost hear Nora’s voice in his head telling him to get the fuck over it as they were led to the head table and seated at the king’s table. He tried to maintain at least a neutral body language, he was afraid if he tried to smile he would grimace, there seemed to be a lot of whispering and sidelong glances at him and the ladies with him.

  A few minutes later the king was announced and everyone stood, he appeared in good spirits as he came in from the other doors and made his way to his seat. Once the king sat everyone followed suite and the servers started bringing out the first course. He had been expecting a speech or something, and felt a little relieved, of course he didn’t know the tradition… maybe that would come later?

  That didn’t help his nerves, but it was just a dinner after all, not too dangerous. He followed the conversations going on around him as best he could. He wished someone had bothered to tell him about this, at the least he would feel more prepared. Once dinner was finished the king stood and cleared his throat.

  “Tonight’s feast has been in honor of the return of your princess, and our guest of honor the Flame of Cytherea. They, along with the others at this table, have done much to keep Abelaweth safe over the past weeks. Despite this new threat, we know they will continue to keep us safe from our enemies, both mortal and otherwise.”

  The nobles and other guests started to clap. Some looked heartfelt about it, and others merely polite. The king walked over to Nicole, and escorted her out into the empty area. He groaned under his breath when a lute and some pipes started playing and the king led Nicole in an upbeat dance. After the first song, many others got up and started dancing in a celebratory way.
