A New Path

by Xander Jade

  "I am humbled by your devotion and words ladies, but I have to ask, why me? I am just a guy with a siba and bear for companions. I don’t have much, so what can you possibly gain in being with me?"

  They pondered my retort and each gave me the same answer; they don’t care about riches or what I have. They like the man I’ve become and just want a relationship with me. I brought up my next question, "How can both of you want to be with me? Won’t there be jealousy?"

  Valencia answered, "No Max, we’ve already discussed this, and found we don’t have any jealousy between us. Females in a pride don’t anyway because our intended mate usually has multiple wives," my brow rose up wondering where she was going with this and she smiled broadly, "Yes, Max, you are our intended mate. I don’t know your beliefs or traditions for betrothed, but we can wait until you are ready for this."

  I nodded and was shocked by this. Taking a deep breath and exhaled to calm myself down, they looked concerned and worried since I haven’t responded to them.

  Deciding to put them out of their misery I replied to them, "I have to admit that I have developed feelings for the both of you. I just can’t believe you gorgeous girls still want me to be your mate, but will care for you and love you. It will take some getting used to though, so bear with me." They nodded and were ecstatic by my revelation, jumping on me to give me kisses all over my face. After that ritual, they calmed down to discuss something else with me.

  Cassie brought up something I didn’t want to hear, "Max, as the days come and go, we will encounter people to join your following. Men we will have no problem with since you will decide who joins, but we will discuss what ladies will be joining. As first wives, Valencia and I will decide who will be in our immediate family."

  "What are you talking about, immediate family?"

  She grinned, "Why, you’re other wives of course. We will have a big family, lots of kids." They both giggled at my reaction so I decided to say something.

  "What other wives? Why would I need other ones if I have you?"

  "Oh Max, that is sweet, but you aren’t an ordinary person. You will unite the kingdoms, so you will have wives from different kingdoms. They will see this and join with your army to vanquish the darkness coming."

  I rolled my eyes to that statement and still didn’t believe what she said was true, so just shrugged.

  "Okay, let’s get back on track for today. I need to show you girls something I found in a building out back." Escorting them out to the shed I opened the door with the tingle on my hand and went in. Looking around I realized they didn’t come in, then walked out to them, "Hey what’s going on? Why are you still out here?"

  Cassie replied, "Max, you don’t feel that? Someone put wards on this building. We can’t go in."

  Valencia spoke up looking around, "Yeah, the air is crackling, I can feel them too."

  "Yes, I can feel it, but I walked right in, why can’t you?"

  Cassie calmly commented, "Maybe you are allowed to because of your lineage. This is your granddad’s land right?"

  "Yes, it is." I wondered how and why he put wards on this building, then thought about how to get around this and came up with an idea. "Okay, let’s try this. Since you can’t go in by yourself, grab my hand, and I will lead you through." They each grabbed a hand then very carefully led them into the building. They gasped out loudly when they went through the wards and were wheezing by the time both of them came into the barn.

  "Wow, look at all the collection of materials. It looks in great shape. The wards must have been made to preserve as well as keep others out," Cassie stated while looking around wide eyed.

  "Holy Shit! It looks like your granddad was preparing for something. This is amazing, most of the stuff we were going to get is right here," Valencia bellowed.

  "That is correct ladies, the tools and instruments needed for the forge too. The bellows, tongs, and hammer was going to have to be replaced, but it looks like he kept numerous replacements. I am thankful for that. We will still need to go for other supplies, food, herbs. It looks like the gardening equipment is in here too and would like to get started on that when we get back. I will pick up some of the stuff that we don’t have much of and can also check the forest for them too. There is also a trap door over to the left we need to explore."

  They agreed and we ended up going into the place below the barn through the trap door entrance. It was a tunnel that had racks of weapons and materials used for smithing. Also found some elven bows, recurve bows, and some long bows. The girls kept browsing the shelves up in the barn while I kept looking around the secret entrance, but ended up back with the ladies to see them find numerous things they wanted to take out for some projects. They put their hands on my shoulders and we left the barn. We put the stuff that was taken out of the barn in the house before we headed out to Silvershore, which was northeast from our location. Our journey was dull, but enjoyed each other’s company. The town wasn’t very big, but had what we needed to pick up. Letting the ladies go get what they needed, I headed to the where the farmers were located and picked up numerous items to plant, then bought some herbs that mom didn’t have on her, and left the stalls. Meeting up with the ladies after our purchases we left, on our journey home we took a detour through the woods so we could get familiar with the land. Since leaving, Herc and Reap at the house, I wanted to see where we can hunt and found different herbs, ingredients for poultices and potions. Just thinking about our own gardens got me excited to hurry back to get started, but it was late when we got back to the cabin, so we fixed dinner that consisted of fresh veggies, fruit, and bread. Once it was time for bed, I noticed the ladies got out the supplies for the bedrooms, and they looked awesome. The girls went off to their rooms for bed, I blew out the candles in the kitchen, went to my room, and got ready for bed. It had been a long day, and was about to doze off when I heard soft footsteps coming into my room. Looking up in the moonlight, I saw my beautiful blonde staring back at me.

  Chapter Sixteen

  "Cass, what’s wrong?"

  "Nothing, I wanted to sleep with you if that’s okay."

  I nodded and moved over for her to get in. She came and laid her head on my chest, and I ran my fingers through her hair. After a few minutes, I softly ran my hand down her back ending at her heart shaped ass, and finding she wasn’t wearing anything underneath her tunic. Massaging her delectable cheeks, soft moans were coming from Cass as she started breathing harder, grinding on my thigh.

  Cass gasped softly, "Max, please make love to me."

  I didn’t really know how to respond to that other than action. Pulling her onto me, we started kissing passionately, she then sat up and pulled her tunic off showing her gorgeous body, which took my breath away. Her breasts were mouthwatering, sporting C-cups with large areolas and pink nipples. Her beautiful pussy had a small tuft of blond hair, and from feeling the leaking fluid flowing down her thigh with my hands, she was ready to go. When she pulled my undershorts off, it was like we were starving for each other, Cass straddled me and brought her breasts to my mouth, and I gladly sucked on them. She moaned loudly as I switched my mouth back and forth on her magnificent breasts while she stroked my cock. We danced this way for a few minutes before I had to be in her, so quickly flipping her on her back, I lined up my rock hard meat stick and sunk in. She cried out in pleasure as we continued in our dance, moving her hips in rhythm with mine, and whimpered my name. I wanted it to last, but was extremely aroused, so it only lasted for a few minutes. Catching our breaths, we kissed tenderly, and waited for me to recharge while talking about nothing important.

  We made love most of the night and finally went to sleep early in the morning. I woke up with a feeling of ecstasy; opening my eyes it was to see Cass bobbing up and down on junior, staring at me the whole time. I couldn’t take very much from this intense state and let my man juice down her delicate throat. After she was done, she moved up and laid down next to me.

  "Good morning, love," Cass w
hispered with adoring eyes.

  I smiled and replied, "Good morning, gorgeous."

  "You two, it’s time to get up, breakfast is about ready!" Val hollered from in the kitchen.

  I glanced at Cass, she smiled, kissed me on the cheek, and then got up out of bed. She was still naked, and I whistled at her magnificent body. Cass was at the door when she looked back over her shoulder to me and smiled. I got out of bed and got dressed to start the day, we met in the kitchen for breakfast, and made small talk then excused myself to go out and start some chores.

  "So, I heard some noises last night; lots of screaming and moaning. I’m thinking our man took care of your needs, and then some?" Val smirked. Cass blushed and nodded.

  "He certainly did. I have never been so satisfied, or filled completely. He may be young, but damn, he knows how to use his assets," she sighed pleasurably.

  "Well, now you’ve got me all excited and can’t wait for my turn," Val smiled, "what is the plan for today?"

  "I think he wants to begin planting his vegetable and herbal gardens. He wants to get that started so we can have a harvest before fall hits. Also, he wants his herbs for some healing ingredients," Cass commented.

  Val nodded and replied, "That will definitely be necessary when we start investigating those kidnappings. No telling what we will run in to." Cass agreed and the girls cleaned up the dishes. They met Max outside to see what was needed for their garden.

  We planted all kinds of veggies, and herbs in our plots of land set aside for this project. This will take a couple of days to finish, but we put in a hard day’s work. I needed to figure out some way to provide irrigation to these crops. One thing at a time I suppose, but with an underground cavern of water, it shouldn’t be a big deal to do. We had a picnic in the woods, and ended up doing the same for dinner. It was a productive day, and spending time with my ladies made it that much better. When the day was ending, Cass and I spent time with each other again. I wasn’t that experienced with other women in my young life, and didn’t know if I was good in the sack, as some say. While holding her, my instincts took over that I knew had never been there before. It was like I could feel what made her body respond: emotions, reactions, and sensations. It was surreal to think about, but threw that thought out because I had my own lust and love to deal with.

  Throughout the night, I had her screaming like a banshee, and her orgasms were glorious. We were all sweaty when we got done, and ended up having to move to her room because of the mess we made. I chuckled to myself as we were walking naked to her room and fell into the bed, ending up wrapped together like a human pretzel. She was still breathing hard, flushed from her last orgasm, and had trouble speaking. She finally gasped out, "Max, you make me feel whole, like I’ve been missing a piece of my soul. I love you my mate, and will do everything I can to make you happy."

  She kissed my lips tenderly and laid her head on my chest. Smiling I replied, "I love you too, my sexy mage. You two ladies are special to me, and I will do my best to be the man you need me to be." She nodded and responded, "Thank you love, Val will want to have her turn soon. She may be somewhat cautious, but she wants you to take her too. Be gentle, but somewhat dominant, she is a lioness after all." Shaking my head thinking this was crazy, "How can you two be okay with this? Are you sure jealousy isn’t there?" She was quiet for a few moments but answered, "We have had numerous discussions about that and have come to the conclusion that we don’t have any jealous feelings. You are unique, and will have others join us soon. I know you don’t want to hear this, but soon we’ll have to start preparing for this." I nodded, but didn’t comment on that last part, instead advised her of my thoughts. "My thoughts are different on jealousy and may be living a double standard, but I don’t share. If you ladies want to be with me, then you’ll have to live with that." I kissed her forehead, and laid my head back down. Cass responded, "You’ll never have to worry about that. As our mate, we’ll never want another man, but we wouldn’t want anyone else anyway. We’ve been around males for a long time, and none have made our hearts feel like this. Val and I have been waiting for you to come in our lives, to take us away from our fears, and love us. I hope I’m not scaring you with this heavy conversation right after our lovemaking, but you need to know how we feel." She finished, and I wrapped my arms around her, then we fell asleep. It felt like I blinked when dawn came, and realized I was getting a morning blow again.

  "That feels great Cass, mmmmm…." A muffled reply was heard, but didn’t even open my eyes. After a couple minutes, a voice rambled, something my brain didn’t comprehend, and realized that wasn’t Cass’s voice. I finally opened my eyes to see a gorgeous caramel skinned woman sporting raven black hair with purple streaks throughout covering her face while she was bobbing up and down on my prick. Oh man, her technique was stupendous, my eyes rolled up into my head, moaning loudly. Val knew how to definitely give head, and she relished it. Feeling the familiar sensation in my balls telling me I was about to let loose a stream of white cream down her throat, I warned her, "Val, that feels incredible, and you’re about to receive a gift of white gold." A few more moments and I let loose, it felt like a stream instead of shooting three or four wads, and she took it like a champ, swallowing every drop. Falling back onto the bed, breathing heavily, she came up to lay beside me to snuggle. I twirled my fingers through her hair, content to lay there for a few minutes in silence.

  "Good morning, hon," Val whispered.

  "It is, and thank you for that. I’ll have to return the favor, but don’t want you to get nervous or uneasy. I’ll be patient and take it slow if you want."

  She shook her head, "No, after listening to Cass last night, I want to try, and would like it to be tonight if we could."

  I grinned and replied, "Okay, if that’s what you want." We kissed passionately and got out of bed to start the day. Cass was in the kitchen eating breakfast, and looked up when we came in.

  She smiled at us knowingly, so I went to the counter to get some food while Val went over to Cass, they whispered and giggled to each other. Shaking my head, I ate my food in silence. While they continued their discussion, my thoughts turned to what was needed to be done today, and tried to put together an itinerary. Finish planting, hunting, training with the girls, and practicing some magic. Having a gut feeling that something is about to happen, we need to be prepared, so I turned my attention to the girls and told them about my thoughts.

  "Loves, the plan for today is more of the same as yesterday, but we need to go hunt, and start training again. I have a feeling something’s about to change, and we need to prepare. Blades and bows today, we’ll take Reap and Herc with us to hunt."

  They nodded and went to get ready, it took a couple of hours to finish planting, and when that was done we took the two furballs hunting. After some time not finding anything in particular, I sent the two killers out to hunt on their own, while I went over with the girls again the necessity to track and how to cover their own. They picked it up quickly as always, the girls were very perceptive, and drilled them till I felt they could do it blindfolded. It was later in the day when we began our lessons on blades, and spent the next couple of hours teaching them different forms to counter or attack their foes. We stopped when our bodies were out of breath and drenched in sweat, so I gave them a break while pondering my next lesson. I had picked up three bows with quivers full of arrows from the armory in my barn before we left, one for each of us, and planned to make sure by the end of my training they could hit the their target from at least a hundred yards away. I had set up some targets in the forest for their training, then made sure they knew the right ways to shoot, and showed them how to adjust their shots. After about an hour they were beat, they went to rest beside a tree, so I stopped and went to gather up the arrows to put back in their quivers. Returning from my task, I sat down beside them and popped some berries in my mouth that I found by the targets. They were tangy but good and shared them with the girls.

  "Hon, wher
e did you learn all this?" Val asked while eating the rest of her berries.

  "I would like to know too. Don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re only twenty, and the things you have learned are shocking. Did you even have a child hood?" Cass snickered, but was also serious with her questions.

  I took a deep breath and replied, "Yes, I had a child hood, but growing up with a blacksmith as a father and an herbalist as a mother, I was taught at a young age. I also had the opportunity to learn from my father’s friend Will that you met. He is a ranger and taught me how to track, different ways to hunt, stealth, and survival."

  "That is amazing for one so young. You’re a very formidable foe, even without your bonds it would be difficult to beat you," Val gushed.

  I shrugged and answered, "That’s why I want you two training with me, so you can use these methods too."

  They nodded and agreed. Ten minutes later we left to go hunt for our dinner, and had the girls use their bows for the kills. They ended getting some rabbits, and surprisingly two stags. Herc and Reap met back up with us, it seemed they were content which meant they found something to munch on, so had them carry the stags back home. I didn’t have to ask about them helping, both girls got to work cleaning the rabbits while I strung up the stags. We got all the meat that was wanted and threw the left overs to Herc and Reap, which didn’t mind a snack. Recognizing I didn’t have to ask the girls anything about cleaning or cooking, I chuckled at the thought that we were a well-oiled machine. Dinner was a mixture of venison and rabbit with veggies, and we salted the other meat so it would save for the next couple of days. Wrapping the meat to put up, we finished our conversations and could tell Val was tense during our talk, but I kept the conversation light and advised it had been a long day.
