The Basilisk Princess

by Rozie Marshall

  As he walked out of the kitchen, he paused just over the threshold and turned to look near the low fire. “I know you’re there Yixe, you might as well show yourself.” Without warning Viper appeared on the floor slowly shifting into her human form.

  “How do you always know?” she asked indignantly. “I thought you had outgrown your skills.” He pulled her in for a fatherly hug just as Yaga looked up.

  “Ah, Yixe my girl, how are you? How’s Yoxe?” His smile was huge as he rose to pull her into a hug as well.

  “We are both well, Grandfather.” I stood staring with my mouth agape, as I learned that Viper was Yaga’s granddaughter. “I came to help if I could. Who are you looking for?”

  “Salzo. I just can’t remember what his trade route is this time of year.” Yaga’s voice was loud in the pin dropping silence surrounding us. I looked at the guys and realized they were in similar state of shock as I was.

  “Viper is your granddaughter?” I asked, and saw her blush, Viper actually blushed.

  “Yes, she is our granddaughter. Our mate had her mother in our very last clutch. Her mother fell in love with a man from Wapeboia and they married. Yixe and Yoxe were twins. Yixe born in snake form, Yoxe in human, Yixe was wrapped around Yoxe when they were hatched from the same egg. It is very rare and magical that either was in human form,” Ahxezo explained. “Many people call them shared souls. They have always remained together, as if needing the other to survive.”

  Viper looked at the map and then pointed to a small cove off the Northern most point in the map. “This is the meeting point, and this,” she moved her finger to another location, “is where Salzo is currently. If Emot leaves now Salzo can dock in the bay here and you can be there by the time he arrives.” Viper hugged Ahxezo and Yaga one more time, and then waved. “I’ll go help my sister get Zugo to the coast, we will be well hidden in the cliff caves,” her last words said, she shifted into her snake form and disappeared.

  Ahxezo and Yaga said goodbye as we all left their home and walked towards the castle. Kai and Sic led the way towards the kitchens as Emot and I trailed slowly behind. “Can I asssk one favor?” he whispered, pulling me to a stop halfway down the stairs. His body pressed me closer to the wall and he flicked his forked tongue along my neck. “If sssomething happensss to me, would you at least consssider having my child? It doesssn’t have to be now, but sometime in the next five years.”

  His hand captured mine, threading our fingers together, before he brought it up to his lips and pressed a kiss to the back. “I know we haven’t actually mated, but I want you to know how much I love you. I have for a long time, probably sssince an eight-year-old you asssked about the monsterssss. We all do, even if they won’t admit it.”

  I felt my heart thump hard, it was too soon for declarations. I still didn’t know if I wanted to stay here. He seemed to understand and pressed a kiss to my lips, his body rubbing along the front of me just right. “You don’t have to sssay anything. I wanted to sssay the wordssss in cassse thisss went bad.”

  Kai popped his head back around the curve in the stairs and smirked, “Can I join?” Emot and I broke apart as Kai laughed, and Emot punched his shoulder.

  “You’re an assss,” Emot said, as we began walking once more, his hand still wrapped around mine.

  We entered the kitchen and Emot pressed one last kiss on my hand before he went to instruct the chefs. Kai poured me a small glass of some odd green colored drink and then raised his own. “You get one, and I would sip it slow, or you might float off.”

  Sic placed his hand over my glass and glared at Kai. “You can’t give her that, she will be a wreck, and we can’t have her drunk when we need to leave.”

  “Oh, come now Sic, I watered it down some, even mine.” He winked at me as Sic rubbed his temples.

  “What is it?” I asked, prompting Sic to throw his hands up in the air.

  “I give up, you are a child Kai.” He pushed back and walked out of the kitchen, mumbling under his breath as he went.

  “It’s basilisk mead, and frankly, won’t get you that drunk, he’s more worried about the other side effects.” His smile grew dangerous, and he downed his glass.

  “And what might those side effects be?” I asked, as I lifted my glass to my nose and sniffed. The smell was earthy, and yet, there was a tinge of underlying sweetness, almost fruity, suggestive of a sweet flavor.

  He grabbed my hand as I sat next to him and rubbed it along his cocks. I could feel how hard he was as he stroked himself with my hand. “It makes basilisks wanna fuck,” he hissed into my hair, as his tongue flicked along my skin. “Gods you smell like sex, and it is so damn hot. I want my smell to be there with Emot’s.”

  I laughed as I dragged my hand back to the table, and Emot placed three plates on the table. “Are you really that desssperate Kai?” he asked, as he picked up my cup and drained it.

  I could almost see the ridges of his cocks twitching as he sat down. “Seriously, you just drank that. No, I wasn’t desperate that’s why I only gave her one.” He pulled the bottle off the table and held it over the cup once more. “Want more?”

  “No, I have to be able to fly in a few hoursss,” Emot spoke, as he started eating his food. Kai filled his own cup and took a deep sip before sliding it towards me. I picked it up and took a small sip, just enough to taste it. The flavor was sweet, reminding me of a jolly rancher, and yet, there was a smooth heat that accompanied it.

  Emot just shook his head and ate, as I took a larger sip before passing the cup back to Kai. “It’s interesting, and I feel all warm and tingly.” Kai’s smile grew even larger as he dug into his own meal. Picking at the food on my plate, I was oddly aware of the tingling feeling between my thighs. I shifted in my seat to stop them, but the movement only made it worse. Squeezing my thighs together helped some, but only in turning me on more.

  Kai and Emot finished their food swiftly and Emot picked up their plates, handing them to the girl cleaning the dishes. Kai looked at my plate and then me. “Are you done, or just not hungry?”

  “I’m done. Thank you.” Kai picked up my plate and rose, his cocks bulging in the front of his pants as he put it in the sink. Emot laughed at him as he walked back over to me, tilting his head slightly.

  “You did, didn’t you?” he said, reaching to take my hand. “Come on.” I rose, only to realize my legs felt like Jell-O and my body was begging me to touch myself.

  Emot picked me up and walked towards the door, as Kai ran to catch up. “Wait for me.” I giggled as he sounded like a little kid to my ears. Emot didn’t walk up the stairs to my room as I expected, but towards the garden instead.

  “I can lock the door ssso he can’t follow if you want or you can let him watch. If you really want, he can join?” Emot’s words brushed my ear, as the guards opened the doors to the courtyard. He turned down a different path from the one Kai and I had taken the other night, Kai rushing to keep up.

  Another door appeared and Emot opened it. “What’sss it gonna be?” he asked, while setting me down, the tingle between my thighs making me wetter just thinking about his cock. “Just fuck me please. I don’t care.” Kai snuck in and shut the door behind us, as Emot picked me up and placed me on a gardening table. He practically ripped my pants off while loosening his. I watched him stroke both his cocks as they knitted together and then he was sliding into me. Kai had his own massive cock in hand as he watched us.

  “Fuck, thisss isss hot,” he hissed, as he watched Emot fuck me hard and fast. Before I even realized what was happening, my body began to spasm around Emot’s cock. I cried out in release as he kept working.

  “I need more,” Emot growled against my neck, pushing his pants off his hips. I watched as Kai stepped up behind Emot, then heard Emot’s groan of pleasure. Emot continued to work my body harder as Kai pounded into his ass. The sight of Kai and Emot had my body racing towards another orgasm, and I screamed in pleasure as stars exploded in my vision. Emot roared as his cock pulsed
deep and Kai groaned, pulling out to cum on Emot’s back.

  Collapsing back onto the table I felt Emot locked tight as a second moan sounded against my chest. I had completely forgotten that when they were combined, they got two orgasms. Kai’s cock was still hard as he stroked himself fast, the erotic view was amazing, and he hissed as he came once more on Emot.

  Once Emot slipped free, he helped me stand, pressing his lips to mine. “Better?” he asked, as we broke apart and Kai sat on the ground, looking up at us.

  “I forgot how strong that shit was,” Emot chuckled at Kai’s words, and pulled his pants up. He helped me down off the table, before pulling his shirt off. He tossed the cum covered article at Kai, while I pulled my ruined pants back up as best I could.

  “I have to go. Don’t drink anymore of that while I’m gone, or you’ll be ssstuck with one of them taking care of you,” His words weren’t mean, just letting me know that he was at least the devil I knew. I still wasn’t sure I wanted to stay, and he was probably right. The less of them I slept with, the better off I was.

  Kai buttoned his pants while standing and Emot kissed me one last time, before walking to the door. “I’ll sssee you guyssss tomorrow at the bay.” He opened the door before shifting and flying up into the sky. I ran to the door to watch but he was already gone.

  “He’s too fast sometimes, but if you ask, maybe he will do tricks for you when we get back,” Kai teased from beside me. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have given you any mead.”

  “It’s fine, I rather enjoyed watching you fuck Emot,” my reply startled him so much, that he remained in the doorway even after I began walking towards the bedroom, my head held high.

  I was still on fire by the time I walked into the bedroom, Maisie was in the shower and all I could think of was how much I wanted her body. “Having issues?” Sic’s voice pulled me away from my thoughts.

  “Just a little,” I admitted, while he stood in his doorway.

  “The whole castle heard her. Was it you or Emot?” he asked, his voice somewhat jealous.

  “Emot,” he looked shocked when I said this, and he smiled.

  “Good for him.” He turned to go back to his room when he called back over his shoulder, “You’re welcome to come in if you want.”

  I walked after him, the curtain closing behind us. “I’m sorry about the other day. I was jealous, and I shouldn’t have been. Emot made it perfectly clear that it has to be her choice, not ours, and he was right,” Sic’s words were soft, as he sat on his bed.

  Sitting next to him I flopped back onto his bed. “I get it, she has me tied in knots. We all want her, hell, we all love her, after years of watching over her how could we not? We just need to remember that all of us are allies, and who the real enemy is.”

  “Do you remember that time she was sitting in her window and she made a wish on the star?” Sic asked, making me smile.

  “Yeah, she wished to meet the monsters under the bed,” answering his question, as my mind played the memory again.

  “I think that was about the time I realized fully that one day she would be ours, not just to protect but to love,” Sic’s words were quiet. “I think she was twelve at the time, and that was the first time Emot and I slept together. I don’t know why the jealousy isn’t there when I think about him with her, but it is with you.”

  “Probably because you love him just as much as her. Do you get jealous when I fuck him?” I asked, and felt him stiffen, giving me the answer without saying anything.

  “Yes and no. Like, I can smell him on you right now, and it doesn’t bother me, but some days it bothers the hell out of me,” Sic tried to explain.

  “Well, at least you’re being honest with me. The problem is that we have to share her. Frankly, once she lets me into her bed, I doubt I’ll need you or Emot anymore, unless she asks for it.” I heard her bathroom door open and looked toward the curtain. “Although, she did enjoy watching,” I whispered.

  He sat forward over me. “What? She was watching you fuck Emot?”

  I looked back up at him. “Yes, and my guess is, she liked what she saw.”

  “Well, fuck.” Sic sat back and we both heard the bedroom doors close. “We should go check on her.”

  “You go, I need to shower before I go around her again.” I sat back up adjusting my cocks that were still hard, then stood. “Maybe next time, don’t bite me so damn hard, that shit hurts, or maybe next time, I’ll bite you,” my last three words were suggestive, as I walked through the curtain and towards my own room.

  Sitting by the fire, I let my hair drip dry while I slowly brushed it. I was thinking about the oddity that was the female basilisk when the door clicked behind me. Looking back over my shoulder I saw Sic walking around the couch. He smiled and sat on the cushions. “Want me to brush it?” he asked, as he held out his hand.

  Placing the brush in his palm I scooted back between his legs. He steadily ran it through my hair, as I watched the flames dance in front of me. “Why is the fire always lit? I mean I get that we enjoy the heat, but why is this one always lit?”

  He paused for a moment, before continuing the rhythmic motions. “This was the first fire lit in the castle and will never go out as long as you remain here. Each basilisk nest has one fire that always remains lit. It’s just a custom as old as we are, probably because it signifies prosperity, food, warmth, comfort, and home. It is sad when the nest flame goes out, it means someone has died, usually the female.”

  He braided my hair as we sat there. “Who tends them?” I asked, as he pulled more strands up into the braid.

  “Well, here in the castle, we have several servants whose job it is to keep it going, in a normal home they will bank it at night. Some homes have gas flames like on Earth, others choose to add massive logs before bed and will get up throughout the night to check. It also depends on the size of the nest, and how many mates a female has.” I pulled a ribbon out of his pocket and tied my hair to keep the braid in place as he paused.

  “A female with four mates could expect that they would keep it going. If she only had one, then they would either have gas or bank it. When Thuzo and Sage mate they will live in a home here and have gas, but the first thing she will do once they marry is light that fire.” He handed me the brush over my shoulder, and I noticed our reflection, he had perfectly French braided my hair.

  “How did you learn to do that?” His eyes met mine in the mirror and he smiled softly.

  “Your mother taught me, actually, when you were about nine. You were going through an only braided phase.” He chuckled as if remembering me then.

  “Why did you sign the Treaty knowing I was less than half your age?” My curiosity was running rampant tonight and, I guess, it has been on my mind.

  “I am smack dab in the middle as far as my brothers are concerned. My mother has fourteen boys. My thought is, she was desperately trying for a girl, but that hasn’t happened yet. She said she was done after my baby brother was born, he’s five and a handful.” He laughed and I giggled with him. “My mom may seem hard, but she wasn’t always in agreement with this Treaty, she still only grudgingly accepts it. I think the main reason is because my older brothers were mated, and I was the one up next. Since then, the ones who could have mated, and there are only three unmated. One is about your age, one it six years younger and then the baby.”

  “Do you regret signing the Treaty?” I turned so that I was looking up at him, but he didn’t look sad.

  “Not at all. Yes, you were young, but it was an honor to bring Lasina lasting peace. I will admit, at first it was all duty, but once we began to get to know you, and we watched you grow, well, we all fell in love.” He sheepishly rubbed his neck. “We all know it will take you time to get to know us, the way we know you. We also have to see what sort of changes bringing Zugo into this nest will bring. Who knows what he’s been through?” I tried not to yawn while he was talking, but it didn’t work.

  “Come on.” Sic rose and picke
d me up, carrying me back into the bedroom, before placing me on the large bed. “You should sleep, we have to leave at first light.” He was about to go when I reached out and grabbed his hand.

  “What, no goodnight kiss?” my words startled him for a moment, but then he gently pressed his lips to mine.

  “Good night, Maisie,” he whispered, as he covered me up once more, and then walked towards his own room.

  “Good night, Sic.” I yawned as sleep claimed me.

  The red sun rose high over the castle as children ran around the courtyard. One little girl chased another, and several boys played with balls. Kai and Emot stood amidst the chaos, while Sic sat off to one side with a tiny girl in his lap, as they poured over a book together. I felt a set of hands slide around my stomach and a pair of lips touch my neck. “Come inside Mais, the kids are fine, and you need to rest, before the Nymphs arrive tonight. Trust me, once they leave you will be up all night, dealing with the four of us.”

  The voice was soothing, as the arms pulled me back inside towards our bedroom. “Do you think they are happy?” I heard myself ask.

  “They have you as a mother, four doting fathers and an entire Kingdom who loves them. There is so much love, it’s hard to imagine them not being happy,” the voice slid through me, as we arrived in the bedroom. His hand slid down my body and flicked the buttons of my pants open. “Let me make sure you feel loved too.” His finger circled my clit before slowly rubbing my own wetness around.

  I could feel the tension building in my core as he bent me forwards and slid the head of both his cocks along my slit. Working them both in slowly, then increasing as they rubbed my body right. My cries of pleasure increased as he began to shift them from two cocks to one, over and over. My back arched as I orgasmed around him, and I screamed out my pleasure.
