I knuckled the sleep from my eyes and began to rise. “No, I should go back. I don’t want to put you and your family at risk. Thank you for being so kind to me, and if you ever need anything please let us know.” We walked to the edge of the pool and Indra jumped in first. I dropped the blanket, waved goodbye to Wade, took a deep breath and followed her into the water.
Indra gave me a breath about halfway in, and then pulled us up behind the waterfall. She left me for a moment to speak to Sic. I couldn’t make out his words with the rushing water. I realized she was making sure it was really Sic before handing me back over, still protecting me if she could. She popped back up next to me a moment later. “It is Prince Sicrin, if you want to go back…” she trailed off, as I hugged her.
“Thank you for helping me, and I hope one day I will be able to come back and visit.” I pulled out of her arms and she nodded.
“You will always be welcome, and during the day the kids play in the pools, so you are welcome to come back and visit anytime.” She pulled me under the water and then we popped back up in the pool, the sunlight just beginning to lighten the sky. Sic’s eyes were filled with relief as I surfaced, and then he was pulling me into his arms as soon as I was back on solid ground.
Indra ducked back under the water and disappeared, about the time Sic loosened his grip ever so slightly. Before I could protest, he scooped me up and began walking back towards the gap in the cliffs I had slid through, only hours before. He didn’t set me down until we reached a small path that led towards an open field. Backing me up until I was under an overhanging rock, he pressed his naked body along mine. Sparks lit my nerves as his large body shielded mine from the chilly morning air.
“I know I’m not Kai, but… fuck…” he broke off his words, as he smashed his mouth to mine. My basilisk purred her approval as his tongue slid along the crease between my lips. Tentatively opening for him, he slowed the intensity of our kiss, making love to my mouth with his. I could feel his cocks pressed against my stomach, and it took everything I had not to climb him like a tree.
I pulled back first, gasping for breath as his lips traveled down my chin to my neck. “Sic… I don’t wanna mate.” He paused for a moment and then continued kissing my shoulder.
“Who said anything about mating?” He lowered to his knees slowly kissing down between my breasts. Flicking his tongue along my tightened buds as he went. My head fell back against the rough stone as he trailed kisses down my stomach stopping just before the v of my thighs. His breath was warm, contrasting with the cool air on the rest of my body.
My moan echoed around us as he finally laved my clit with his tongue. He picked up my leg and draped it over his shoulder in an attempt to get to all of me. I threaded my fingers into Sic’s hair as he began to flick and suck, alternating between hard and soft motions. My pussy ached to be filled, the need pushing all rational thought and care from my mind. “Sic please. I need more,” I begged, as he worked me closer to that sweet release.
His fingers slowly circled my entrance as he pulled his face away. “What do you want, tell me, and I’ll give you anything.” I know what he was asking, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it. He slid a finger deep and my body clenched around it, greedily begging for more. Lifting my head, I looked down my body only to realize he was staring up at me. There was something in his eyes that told me he wanted more as well, but was holding himself in check.
My mind went over all the consequences and decided to say fuck it. I pulled my leg off his shoulder, lowering myself to his lap. His finger continued to work me as I captured his mouth once more. I could feel both his cocks and honestly wondered how that would work in human form. Gasping, he pulled back. “You have to tell me what you want.”
I shook my head no, not wanting to say the words out loud. His hand stilled leaving me so close to that sweet release I craved. I whispered words from my lips, as I squeezed my eyes closed, “I can’t.” What, I didn’t even know at this point, I couldn’t say the words or couldn’t sleep with him, my brain wouldn’t focus.
“I think we should go back before we do something stupid,” he spoke, as he flicked his thumb over my clit one final time, sending me spiraling. His chuckle mixed with my cries, as he slid his hand free, standing back up without setting me down, my legs wrapped around his waist, my head buried in his shoulder. The sun was rising higher as he began walking towards the open field below.
When we made our way off the rocky path, I felt a soft blanket draped over my back and raised my eyes to Emot’s soft smile. A carriage waited just to one side of the path, and Sic strode straight for it. The door opened as we neared, and he stepped inside followed by Emot. The darkness inside was soothing, and I heard Emot whispering to someone, but couldn’t hear the words.
Turning my head, I peeked out and saw Kai sitting on the far side of the carriage next to Emot. His shoulder had a bandage covering the place the arrow had been, but he looked fine. He smiled softly as the carriage clattered through the castle gates. Once we rolled to a stop, the door opened, allowing Emot and Kai out. Sic rose slowly, working his way out of the carriage without jostling me too much. The second we were out of the carriage he was striding into the castle and up the stairs.
Emot sat with me next to the fire as Sic disappeared into the bedroom area. A worker was removing wooden door pieces from the bedroom area, ignoring Emot and I sitting by the fire. Emot pulled me close and kissed my head, making sure I was wrapped up nice and warm. “I’m glad you’re sssafe. When we came back into the room and our doorsss were busssted in, we knew sssomething had happened. Whoever it was essscaped off the balcony in here,” I curled closer to his warmth, as he spoke.
“I used the escape tunnel you told me about. Then I met Indra and she let me stay with her for the night,” I spoke softly, not wanting to disturb the peaceful air in the room. “Was it the same person who shot Kai?”
He wrapped an arm around me, pulling me closer still. “No, we caught the man who ssshot at both of you. He wasss jussst hired for the Nymph dinner asss extra protection and admitted that he wasss only supposssed to ssscare you. He issss being held in the dungeonsss at the moment, for more quessstioning.”
“What about the man who kicked the door down?” I asked, shivering slightly as I remembered.
“We don’t know who the other one wassss, and after he found the roomsss empty, he fled,” Emot spoke softly, but there was something he wasn’t saying.
“Tell me.” I sat up and looked him directly in the eyes.
“The sssecond man wasssn’t a basssilisk sssshifter. He sssmelled of an avian variety ssshifter, Vulture to be ssspecific. They live acrossss the Calsssend Sssea on Dupradale, we don’t typically sssee their kind here,” he explained, while pulling the blanket higher around my shoulders. “It ssssuggests that he wasss hired to take you. Thuzo issss currently going through all the guard’sss recordsss, checking to verify their connectionsss.” He pulled me back into his embrace and I snuggled into his warmth.
The cozy fire coupled with Emot’s heat made me yawn, but I needed to stay awake, there was no telling what might happen next. Emot pulled me further into his lap making sure I was directly in front of the flames. “You need sssleep, yesssterday wasss long and I doubt you got much in Indra’sss place. Do you want me to tuck you in?” I yawned again as he asked, prompting him to cradle me as he stood.
Emot rushed the workers away as he carried me to the large bed. He knelt so he could place me in the middle and then pulled the covers up over my body. Just as he began to slide back, I reached out and grabbed his hand. “Please stay. I don’t want to be alone.” He smiled softly, before laying down next to me. His warmth, aided by the comfort of the soft mattress, had me drifting back off to sleep within minutes.
Hissing woke me up as Emot’s body tightened around mine, not hard enough to suffocate me, but I was definitely under a very large basilisk body. I pushed Emot’s scales trying to get out from under him, but he wouldn’t loos
en his grip. My basilisk hissed causing him to look down at me, and then shift enough to let me get free. “What the hell Emot?” I asked, and then saw Viper standing in the doorway.
“He seems to think I mean to harm you. I have news. So, if you would be so kind as to call off your guard snake,” her sarcastic words had me chuckling.
“Emot, she isn’t going to hurt me, and I doubt she knows what happened here. If she does, she might have useful information. Where are Sic and Kai?” I asked, as he slowly uncoiled his protective death grip.
“They are ssstill interviewing the prisssoner,” Emot hissed, while shifting back into human form.
“Viper, could you give us a moment? To dress and get the others up here, unless what you need to say is pressing.” She smiled, bowed and closed the doors behind her as she left.
Emot turned to face me his eyes dropping to my chest. “I’ll go let the othersss know, while you get dressssed.” As he rose, I noticed both his cocks were hard and I couldn’t help but smile a touch. I hadn’t even kissed the man, and yet, this desire for all of them was becoming more of an issue as the days passed. When I first arrived, all I had wanted was to get home. Now, I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted.
I watched Emot leave the room and slid from the bed. Walking to the bathroom, I pulled the robe of the hook. Pulling it on, I opened the double doors and saw Viper’s disappointed face. “Awe, I was hoping to see you naked again.” I smiled as I sat on the couch and she slid next to me. “You smell like desire. I wonder who has caused that, Emot, Kai, Sic? Maybe all three.”
My blush made her laugh harder, but not unkindly. “I don’t know what to do. I feel this connection to each of them, but I don’t want to mate,” I said, as she smirked.
“Then don’t mate. You’re the Fucking Queen of Lasina. Tell them what you want and how you want it. Start acting like a Queen,” her voice was strong, as if she were trying to empower me, to fire me up, and it was working.
The door swung open as she leaned closer. “Wanna see what a worked up male basilisk will do? Maybe after I tell you the news, I’ll help you.” She turned towards the guys as they all walked closer. “Nice of you to join us.”
“You said you had news?” Sic asked, as he eyed Viper warily.
Viper turned and looked at the guys for a moment; Emot’s eyes flashed to mine as his mouth dropped open. She smiled as she looked back at me and winked before speaking. “Zugo is strong enough to make it to the Northern Coast, so you need to make an extraction plan. You will have two days more to figure it out and then we will need to move.” She paused to look at the guys Emot’s mouth still hanging open. “I also know who hired the distraction, and the thief.”
“Vago hired the man to shoot at Maisie, that much I know.,” Sic said, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Yes, but he also hired the thief to look for something, and if possible, bring Her Majesty back to him. His name is Vathis, he’s a vulture shifter. From what information I could gather, he was exiled for killing his entire nest. Let’s just say the rest of his deeds shouldn’t be repeated in front of Her Majesty but he is a vulture.” Viper rose from the couch before turning back to me. She bent forward and pressed a chaste kiss to my lips before pulling back. “Enjoy your evening,” her whisper was barely audible, as she shifted into her snake form and slithered out.
I turned as Viper slithered out the doorway and disappeared as if invisible, wondering if she really was half human. Something just didn’t sit right with me, and yet, I couldn’t put my finger on it. Her ability to materialize and disappear was too good to be just snake instincts, but then again, basilisks were large creatures and while they shared traits, they weren’t snakes. “Kai, let’s go, we need to see what else we can get out of that guard. We also need to make sure none of the other guards are being bribed. Emot. Emot. Emot.” I snapped my fingers in front of his face, but he just stood gaping at Maisie.
Pulling his face towards mine he snapped his mouth shut. “What?”
“You need to keep Maisie safe. Don’t leave her side, even for a second,” I spoke, and he just gulped and nodded. “Let’s get this over with so we can plan on how to get Zugo back.” Kai and I walked out the door, closing it behind us.
“What was his issue?” Kai asked, and I shrugged.
“I have no clue. Maybe he doesn’t like Viper, maybe he was daydreaming about Maisie, who knows?” We walked down the stairs and headed towards the ‘dungeon’, and that is putting it vaguely. The jail cells were outside of the castle, well away from our Queen, just in case a prisoner escaped.
We walked down the rocky path to the lower barracks, and then down into the block of cells. The cell where our prisoner was being held was only two down, but I could already smell the blood. I looked between the bars and saw our captive, slumped over with an arrow through his chest. “FUCK!” Kai yelled, as he saw the mess.
“There is someone else here working for Vago,” whispering, just in case someone was listening. “We need to find them. Thuzo should be able to help us sniff out the traitor.”
“Let’s go see what he knows, also a trip to see Ahxezo and Yaga might help us in our search. They seem to know more than they let on,” Kai’s words made sense, those two old coots had eyes everywhere, and I was fairly sure Ahxezo used to be a spy for Kai’s dad. We walked back out of the barracks and walked towards Thuzo’s office.
The door closed on Sic and Kai, as Emot’s gaze swung my way once more, the heat in his gaze scorching. “Did you really have sssex with Viper?” his words were hushed, as he prowled closer.
Rising, I backed towards the bedroom, as he continued to stalk my steps. “We might have, why do you ask?” I tried to play it off, but if he was asking then she must have given him his memories back.
I felt the back of my legs touch the bed as Emot closed the bedroom door. “Becaussse, I have the memory of her tail making you cum.” My body clenched at nothing as he worked his way closer, the danger his body was conveying both nonthreatening and erotic. He stopped just shy of pressing his chest to mine and bent his head towards my neck.
Flicking his tongue out he trailed it up to my ear, nipping my lobe before whispering, “I can ssssmell your desssire, and it’sss driving me mad.” He lifted his head and was just about to step back, when I pulled his lips to mine.
The thin thread holding us back snapped and he lifted me by the waist. Breaking our kiss, he asked in a rough voice, “You know what this meansss. We can ssstill ssstop.” In answer, I pulled the tie off the robe and let it fall open slightly.
I screamed as he tossed me backwards onto the bed, only to have it turn into a moan as he trailed kisses up my ankle and calf. He stripped his own robe off as he slithered up my body exciting me more with each caress. I realized how desperately I needed this, when he pulled my robe aside further and then slipped a finger along my slit. Arching as his finger teased me, he worked two in and curled them to hit my g-spot.
“If you don’t want thisss you need to ssstop me now, because, Godsss, I want you. I have been sssmelling you for days,” he growled, just before his tongue slid up my clit, circling twice before pulling back. The look of ecstasy on his face had me trying to pull him up my body. “Oh no Princesss, you need to be ready if you’re going to take all of me. Besssidesss, you need to tell me what you want, one or two, because it will make a difference.”
I shook my head as he continued to work his fingers, not wanting to answer his question. He knelt up so I could see his full body including both cocks, proudly standing at attention. The beauty of snakes, no hair, not anywhere except head and face, and it made both his cocks look that much bigger. He pulled my hand to his cocks and asked once more. “Two?” My hand wrapped around both as he paused, “Or One?” I felt his cocks begin to shift and I realized he was just as big as Kai had been.
My mind blanked as he slid a third finger into my pussy and began to move just a bit faster. “I think we sssshould do one this first time.” He bent forward
and pressed his lips to mine and I felt a fourth finger slip in. His tongue mimicked his fingers, as my body greedily accepted everything he gave me. His thumb pressed my clit as he worked more of his hand in. “The beauty of a bassssilisk woman, sssshe can take anything her mate could give her. You could probably take four cocksss at once if you wanted, and that issss fucking sssexy,” his words sent a shiver up my spine, as I felt him working his thumb in alongside his other fingers.
He curled his fingers rhythmically, rubbing all sorts of nerves I never even knew existed, then he began to rotate his wrist and I cried out in pleasure. My body drew tight as he worked me, and the room began to spin as stars appeared behind my eyelids. When my eyes had fallen closed, I didn’t know, but the pleasure was so intense, all I could do was let him pleasure me. He twisted his hand swiftly, and the stars exploded, flinging me into rapture.
I felt him hiss as he licked around his hand, knowing that I had probably made quite a mess, but not caring in the slightest. I needed more and my basilisk hissed her own pleasure at the idea. “Emot... I need… more,” I tried to speak through my panting breath, but it still came out hushed.
He slowly pulled his hand from me, and rubbed his cock with my wetness, before positioning the massive head of his cock at my entrance. “We can sssstill ssstop,” he spoke, as he held himself in check, waiting for me to make my choice.
I wrapped my legs around his hips trying to get him in me faster, but he didn’t budge. “You have to sssay it Maissssie, it hasss to be your choice, becaussse once we do this, there isss no going back,” Emot’s words cooled some of my need. Was this really binding, here yes, but if I chose to go back to Earth would it still be? I realized I didn’t care, I needed something, anything.
