“We are going to need the Nymphs’ help, for sure. We only have a division if you combine all three of our armies,” I did the quick math, as I spoke.
Sic nodded his agreement while Emot sat at the table. “Do you think Maisssie and Zugo finally made it official?”
“I hope so, without that tie to the Northern Kingdom, the people there will fight against us. If she is the Empress, there is a chance that they will bow to her instead of Vago. Slim chance, but still a chance,” Sic replied to Emot’s question.
“Your Majesties, might I have a word?” Thuzo entered the great hall followed by Sage.
“How can we help you?” Sic spoke, as they stood holding hands.
“The word spreading through the ranks is that we are soon to go to war. If that is the case, Sage and I would like to hold our wedding sooner than later. We wanted to make sure that was still acceptable, and to see if we could hold it here,” Thuzo smiled at Sage as he spoke, and I hid my smile at his request.
“Yes, I think that is a wonderful idea. Just because war is looming, doesn’t mean that life stops. Maisie will also be happy that you two are marrying.” Sic and Thuzo spoke as I rose. I didn’t need to hear all the wedding details.
Emot walked next to me as we snuck out of the great hall. I began walking towards the courtyard and my mimic plants, when Emot stopped me. He pressed me against the wall, away from view, and then his lips landed on mine. I pushed him around until he was the one pinned to the wall and broke the kiss. “It’s not gonna happen Emot, unless commanded to do so it won’t happen.”
His face fell slightly as he pulled my hips against his. “You’re jussst asss hard asss I am, so don’t tell me you don’t want me.” He gripped the back of my neck and kissed me again, this time sliding his hands down my pants. I groaned as he stroked me, knowing that he was right.
His hands worked faster until I broke the kiss on a gasp, and he dropped to his knees opening the fly of my jeans. My cocks sprang free and he devoured both as soon as they were in his sight. He sucked hard as he bobbed up and down my shafts, rapidly bringing me closer to release. I leaned my head against the wall as I watched him work me hard and fast. I felt his hand slide between my thighs and his finger circle my ass.
It wasn’t the first time he had slid a finger in, and just like before, the added pressure made me cum hard. He swallowed my cum as I groaned, licking me clean before zipping my pants back up. Rising from the floor, he kissed me once more, my own flavor coating his tongue. “One of thessse daysss, I’ll get you to agree.” He sighed as he ducked under my arm and walked off. He was going to be the death of me if he kept this up, but Maisie would probably be the reason I cave to his request. For her, I would do anything.
Zugo and I spent the entire night, and even half of the next day in our room, exploring each other. Sometimes, it was hard and fast, other times it was slow and romantic, and for a while, all we did was cuddle. The only reason we had stopped at all was the knock on the door, as Stone arrived to tell us it was almost time to leave. I dressed in clothes that the guys had added to the box, thankful that they weren’t see through.
Zugo threw on clothes he had packed, and made sure everything was hidden away before his mother arrived. His mother helped me do my hair and placed the crown on right, her eyes filled with tears of joy. “I am so happy for you my dear, and you Zugo. Please take care of each other, and your other mates. Life is such a precious gift that can be cruelly cut short.” She hugged me tight as we said our goodbyes and then the Sprites carried us down to the ground once more.
“Thank you for coming to visit, and next time please bring the others, we would love to have all of you join us, once Vago has been defeated,” Stone spoke with hope and optimism, as he grew the wooden box to full size once more.
“There isss the box but where are Maisssie and Zugo,” I heard Emot say, as the three entered the clearing.
Kai bent over to pick the box and saw us standing by the corner. “Hey, sugar, look how cute and tiny you are.” Kai placed his hand on the ground so we could climb on, for a moment. “Found ‘em.” I sat down so I didn’t go flying, while Zugo held on to Kai’s thumb. He carefully lifted us up and turned to show Emot and Sic. “Damn, all I want to do is put you down my pants,” Kai said, as he held his hand out towards Emot and Sic.
Zugo laughed and yelled up to Kai, “I don’t swing that way.”
I snorted and almost fell off Kai’s hands as I laughed. Kai put his other hand out just to be safe, so I didn’t fall off. “Hey, she has her crown on, does that mean Zugo’s not a virgin anymore?” Kai asked, making Zugo turn red.
“That isn’t nice, Kai,” I chided, as he lowered us back down to the ground slowly.
“You should only be small for a few more minutes, if that,” Just as the words left Sic’s mouth, I began to grow, Zugo alongside me.
“Welcome home, love,” Emot said, as he pulled me close for a kiss. “We missssssed you.”
Kai pulled me away from Emot and planted a wet kiss on my lips. “Yes, indeed, we did.”
“Let’s get back to the castle, there is much to discuss and a wedding to attend,” Sic spoke softly, as Kai picked up the chest with Zugo’s help.
“Whose wedding do we need to attend?” I asked, as Sic placed my hand on his arm.
“Thuzo and Sage have asked if they could wed now, since the likelihood of us going to war is looking more like a certainty,” Sic’s words were soft, and I stumbled as he began to speak about war.
Composing myself for the answer, I questioned him, “Why is it looking like a certainty?”
“While you were with the Sprites, Scáthach brought us news of Vago’s army. He has thirty thousand men, women, and children, marching in his army. That is more than all of Lasina’s population. We believe he has hired mercenaries from other countries to help him.” I couldn’t believe the numbers Sic mentioned and the thought of that many was mind boggling.
“Children, who puts children in an army?” we approached the main gates as I asked.
“I believe Vago is desperate at this point, and he has no care for life, other than his own,” Sic spoke, as we walked into the courtyard. The moment we passed through the gates; a cheer went up among the guards. “They are cheering for their Empress,” Sic whispered, as we made our way through the main doors.
“When is this wedding to take place, and where?” I asked, as we headed up towards our rooms.
“Tonight, and they asssked if they could ussse the inner gardensss, ssso people have been sssetting up all day. Sssage wanted to have a ssstarlit wedding and Thuzo couldn’t refuse her,” Emot spoke from behind us.
We entered our rooms and Sage stood there as if waiting to help me dress, and I smiled. “Congratulations. I am so happy for you,” I gushed, as I hugged her. “Why are you here? Surely, you don’t intend to help me dress on your own wedding day.”
“Actually, Cobra and Viper will be helping you, and the guys thought that you could help me get ready,” Sage blushed as she spoke, and I pulled her through, towards my closet. Cobra and Viper were waiting for us just outside the doors.
“You need to shower first, Your Imperial Majesty, and then we shall get you ready.” Cobra pushed me towards the bathroom while Viper tugged Sage into the closet dressing area.
Sage looked stunning in her yellow gown, as Cobra placed a sheer veil in her curled hair. I had chosen a lavender gown that complimented Sage’s yellow beautifully. “You look beautiful, Sage. I hope you and Thuzo are happy together for all your days.” Sage dabbed her eye and hugged me tight, just as a knock sounded on the door.
“I think your escort has arrived, Sage.” Cobra opened the door to reveal Ahxezo dressed in a black suit.
“I have come to walk the bride down the aisle,” he spoke, as he bowed to us. “Might I say, you both look breathtaking.”
“I totally agree, Ahxezo,” Emot spoke up behind him. “If you don’t mind. I ssshall sssteal Her Imperial Majesssty, and we sssha
ll take our ssseatsss.”
Hugging Sage tight, I walked to the door. “We shall be waiting.” Emot checked my crown and kissed my hand before placing it on his sleeve.
“I hope you don’t mind but Sssage insssisssted on our ssseating. Ssshe sssaid it was only fitting and a great honor for usss to be there,” Emot whispered, as we walked down the stairs toward the inner courtyard.
Once the doors were wide open, the people rose from their seats and bowed to us. Emot escorted me up the aisle to the thrones set behind the altar. He helped me to my chair and then they all waited until I sat down. After I was seated, the entire audience sat, and we waited for the bride. Thuzo rose, bowing before us. “Thank you. Your Imperial Majesty, for allowing us the use of this beautiful space and for blessing this day with your presence.”
I couldn’t help but smile as he stood, nervously awaiting Sage’s arrival. Sic leaned close and whispered to me, “He has been pacing all day, no doubt in nervous excitement.”
“It is a special day, for him, as well as for Sage. Every girl dreams of her perfect wedding,” I whispered back, just before the doors swung wide. Ahxezo slowly walked Sage down the aisle, to a beautiful flute music, her smile radiant as she saw Thuzo standing there waiting.
The ceremony was beautiful, although surprisingly short. The only similarity to an Earth wedding was the ring and the kiss. They pledged their love for one another, Sage had tears in her eyes as she spoke. Thuzo had to clear his throat several times, while pledging his love, and I could see the sheen of unshed tears in his eyes.
Unbeknownst to me, part of the wedding included both of them kneeling for our blessing. Sic helped me rise, whispering softly, “You must say, I give my royal blessing upon this union.”
My smile was genuine as I spoke for all to hear, “I give my royal blessing upon this union.” The guys stood beside me and bowed to Thuzo and Sage before we sat back down, and they rose. There was no officiant but once the rings had been exchanged, they kissed.
The courtyard erupted in cheers as they kissed, and they walked out first, before the rest of the room cleared out. Kai walked me to the great hall where a large feast had been prepared in celebration, and for one night, we all enjoyed the normalcy that their wedding brought.
The party lasted until late in the night, and well after Thuzo and Sage departed for their home. Stragglers were eventually herded out the doors, and Sic carried me up the stairs. The others made themselves scarce, fairly swiftly, as he helped me get undressed and into bed. “Are you on watch tonight?” I yawned as I asked.
“No, Emot is. I was thinking of spending the night with you, if you are alright with it.” His smile was kind of nervous, like I would say no.
“Of course, you can join me.” I slid over while he stripped his clothes off, then he slid in beside me. Emot walked out of his room and ignored the two of us, hitting the light switch before he closed the double doors. The last thing I saw was him winking at me.
“The wedding was beautiful wasn’t it?” Sic whispered in the dark as he slid closer to me, pulling me into his arms.
“It was, but why wasn’t there an officiant, or someone to perform the ceremony?” I asked, while cuddling close.
“Lasina has no religion, other than that we are descended from the great Norse snake Jörmungandr. The royal blessing is all that is needed to make the ceremony legal, and whether we give it before or after the wedding, doesn’t matter. Sage asked us to do it during because she thought it would be special,” his hand brushed a lock of hair off my face, as he explained.
He tipped my chin up gently, kissing me so tenderly it was breathtaking. His hand slid down my slide slowly until it rested on my hip and I broke our kiss on a gasp. “Mate with me.” I blurted, thankful for the darkness that hid my blush.
He froze at my words, but didn’t pull back. “Do you really want to mate with me?” his question was soft, as if gauging if I was serious.
“Yes,” whispering, I let my basilisk slowly rise to the surface, raising scales to the surface of my skin. “Emot and Kai did it half shifted, but somehow I don’t think you will let me get away with that.”
“Call me old fashioned, but no. For me, in this, it’s all or nothing.” He pulled me closer and kissed me once more, before I felt his legs knit together and his tail slid up my legs.
Letting my basilisk take over, I slowly felt my body shift into full basilisk form, head and all. Sic’s full shift followed mine and I could feel our scales rub together. He bumped his head into my side and instinctively I rolled over more. His hemipenes slowly emerged and I could feel him twisting his tail tightly around me. “You sssure?”
“Yesss, pleassse,” I hissed, before he lined himself up and pressed in. The feeling was not unlike sex in human form, once he was deep inside me. His body rolled against mine, causing friction deep in my core and a new sort of pleasure began to build.
“Don’t fight it,” Sic whispered, and I began to feel fuller as he moved. He didn’t rush as he undulated along the softer scales on my belly. His slightly rougher ones shot sparks of pleasure through my veins. “Did you know that in nature sssome ssspeciesss of sssnakesss mate in large groupsss?”
“Are you really going to talk about sssnakesss mating right now?” my question ended on a moan, as something deep swelled more. His tongue flicked out along the scales on my neck as he rolled over me, twisting up tighter.
“Absssolutely. Jussst imagine the four of usss writhing around you, not knowing who wasss fucking you. The feeling of ssscalesss rubbing everywhere would excite you even more.” For some odd reason, his words, whispered sensually, did in fact heighten the pleasure.
“I want to touch you, Sssic. Pleassse,” I begged, and felt him bite me softly.
“Not yet. Just wait a few more minutesss, I promissse you won’t be disssappointed,” as he spoke, I felt more swelling deep and pleasure raced up my spine from tail to head. “Can you feel me ssswelling to maximize your pleasssure?”
“Yesss,” I moaned, as he began thrusting faster, the swelling increasing more to rub all my nerves. My body began to roll with his as my core began to clench tight. The scream of pleasure that left my mouth, as my orgasm raced up my spine, was almost silent. Deep inside, I felt Sic swell more, locking himself in place as his groan sounded in my ear, his orgasm flooding me with cum.
“You can ssshift back now, honey,” he whispered, as he rolled once more so we were belly to belly. Slowly shifting back to human form, I felt his hands pull me in tight and found myself laying on his chest. Our legs tangled together while his cocks slid out, sending shivers of residual pleasure through me. “Give me a bit and we can go again.”
His voice teased as I laid my head on his chest, his heartbeat loud in my ear. He tipped my head up and pressed a kiss to my forehead. “I love you,” his words were almost inaudible, but I heard them nonetheless.
“I love you too,” I whispered into the dark, and he hugged me tighter. “Can I ask a question?” my words were hesitant, as I looked up at his face.
“Sure, you can ask anything.” He tucked me along his side as I slid off his chest.
“Why do you feel so different from Kai and Emot? Emot is barbed, and Kai is flared at the end.” I blushed slightly at my curiosity and hopped I didn’t offend him.
He chuckled and pulled me closer. “Well, just as on Earth, there are subtle differences between races here. One would be the shape of the hemipenes. Eastern Kingdom men typically have barbs that help them lock into place. They aren’t sharp and most don’t cause harm to the female in question. The Southern Kingdom men lack the barbs but flare at the ends to prevent them from falling out. Same with the Western Kingdom, we can essentially inflate the heads so they can’t fall out. I suspect that when you mate with Zugo, his will be different, as well, but I have less knowledge of the Northern Kingdom, and couldn’t tell you,” he answered technically, and it increased my curiosity.
“But I can feel the difference and they all ha
ve touched different nerves. How is that possible?” I asked, and he chuckled.
“Well, actually, that is something only you have, and I suspect it is because of your varied heritage. See, you have ancestors from all four Kingdoms, and since you are a female, that would mean that you can accommodate a male from any of the four Kingdoms. For example, if a male from the Eastern Kingdom, mated with a woman from the Southern Kingdom, she would find it excruciating. Her body is not designed to accommodate the barbs.” He paused and rolled to face me. “The opposite is true as well. A woman from the Eastern Kingdom would find it difficult to achieve orgasm with a man from the Southern Kingdom, for he lacks the barbs to stimulate her. Now, I am only speaking in basilisk terms, human form wouldn’t make any difference, since we all have two cocks.”
“So, the fact that you all make me cum, is uniquely me.” I couldn’t bring myself to say orgasm, it just seemed too educational in the moment.
“Yes, it is all you, and no one else.” He rolled on top of me and kissed me gently. “Speaking of, how about I make you cum for the rest of the night.”
His words made me shiver as he slithered his body down below the covers and kissed my stomach before traveling lower. I fisted my hand in his hair as his tongue flicked over my clit, before sliding into my slit. His tongue fucked my pussy until I was desperately begging for his cocks. However, he wouldn’t relent until I flooded his face twice.
After the spasms of my second orgasm faded, he crawled up my body and slid deep, not bothering to give me a moment to calm down. He had shifted to one cock, but as he moved, he shifted them back and forth. The teasing of his shifting had me using my nails to get him to move faster, harder, anything, to send me over the edge. Without warning, he pulled out and flipped me over before sliding back in. Pulling me upright, he sat back on his heels and held me tightly in his lap.
