“The point is, you’ve got this,” I chuckled. “No matter how worried you are, we’re not gonna let you fuck it all up. Worst-case scenario, Temin tells me I was wrong and gives the post to someone else. Not the end of the world.”
“Well … it could be,” Shoshanne pointed out. “If the Master succeeds.”
The three of us exchanged glances, but then I brought Bobbie to life and drove us through the castle gates.
“It wouldn’t be the end of the world,” I muttered after a minute, but my stomach knotted as I considered the full weight of everything closing in on us. “Every region and race would just be slaughtered or enslaved, and all of my efforts since coming to this realm would amount to nothing. We’d most likely die slow and torturous deaths at the hand of the Master, but … the world itself would still exist.”
“That is not what’s going to happen,” Deya decided.
“Exactly, because Mason is going to fix all of this,” Shoshanne agreed.
I rolled my eyes while the healer snuggled against me, and she leaned her head on my shoulder as she let out a harried sigh.
“Thank you for believing I can do this, though,” Shoshanne murmured.
“Likewise,” I chuckled.
For most of the drive back to Falmount, Deya focused on telling Shoshanne everything about the buildings I’d shown her in the Oculus, and her enthusiasm did seem to distract the healer from her concerns. It did nothing to ease my own worries, though, and I stared at the road without really seeing it while I thought over our discussion with Temin.
I’d been waiting for the Master to make his next move, so I wasn’t as shaken as Temin clearly was, but I hadn’t expected to find out the time to gather our allies was rapidly approaching. I’d hoped that time would come when I was prepared to deliver my own attack against the Master’s headquarters, but it was starting to look like that wasn’t how this would go down.
If we were forced to gather armies for multiple attacks across the regions, our numbers could plummet before we even got the chance to use them to our advantage. This was why I’d leapt at the opportunity to appoint Shoshanne as head of our healers. I knew it would fall to whoever filled that post to save our asses if that were the case, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to see it was handled as it should be.
Still, there was only one Shoshanne with one healing staff, and those weren’t the kind of odds I wanted to come at the Master with.
If I could figure out this new element, though, I could still catch him before it was too late to do anything about it. With a little luck, we could spare ourselves too many devastating losses, and still have a strong enough force to bring his fortress to the ground.
Until then, Nulena needed to deliver. Even though she was the last person in the realm who wanted to do anything for the greater good, I had a feeling I could trust her to put in the effort and help me locate the Master’s portals.
If only because she could tell herself it was for my good that she was doing it.
As grim as this was, something about the way her energy shifted the moment I asked anything of her was deeply satisfying. The fact that she didn’t try to hinder our efforts made it easier to overlook how fucking cryptic she could be, but most importantly, her willingness to help me out could be the difference between the Master unleashing his soldiers on every village in Illaria, or just a few before I caught up and decimated his troops instead.
So, I ended up brooding over my dwindling options for longer than I could tell while I took my time getting back to Falmount, and when I parked Bobbie beside our moat, I was ten percent less freaked out. Part of this was because I could already see the battlements of the marketplace towering above the trees in the distance, and part of it was Deya’s impression of Barnik raving about sideways hats.
My women never failed to keep my spirits up no matter how ridiculous shit got in this realm, and I couldn’t help chuckling while I followed their laughter into the mansion.
The second the door was closed, though, I realized something was out of the ordinary, and I quickly caught the elf’s arm.
“Do you hear that?” I asked as I furrowed my brow.
Deya nodded thoughtfully. “It sounds like … water.”
The three of us quietly followed the sound through the halls of the mansion while it steadily grew louder, and I listened for any signs of my other two women, but their voices were all the way across Falmount at the training fields.
The sound was becoming distinctly familiar, though, and when we neared the door of a room I hadn’t finished yet, Deya began giggling. I glanced over my shoulder to find both women with giddy expressions, and I was almost afraid to get my hopes up.
It felt too good to be true.
“No fucking way,” I said in disbelief, but Shoshanne just shrugged innocently.
Then I nearly broke the door down from colliding with it so hard, and when I barreled through the doorway, I was suddenly engulfed in a steamy oasis.
The furthest corner of my fantasy bathing room was a cave with ledges I’d already carved out to accommodate all manner of sexual positions, but now, a waterfall fell like a curtain across half the entrance. The bathing pool it spilled into was steaming and bubbling like a whirlpool, and it drained into a stream that curled around the edge of the whole room. Enchanted white flames danced along the surface of the stream and illuminated the foggy atmosphere, but sunlight still poured in through dozens of tiny circular windows lining the upper edges of the lofty room.
“Surprise!” Deya and Shoshanne suddenly announced, and I gaped at the proud little smiles they wore.
“You knew about this?”
“Aurora and Cayla made us promise to keep you away for as long as possible so they could finish the last few details for you,” Shoshanne admitted with a grin. “They talked to four different Flumen Mages to figure out how to get it to work.”
“Where did you get these plants?” I asked as I eyed the moss and foliage that plumed down the walls and dotted the floors.
“I’ve been harvesting them from the jungle every time I transmute,” Deya replied. “Then I flew here to deliver them, let Aurora ride me around the forest for a while, and--”
I cocked a brow, and the elf blushed to her roots.
“Pretend I stopped talking after the harvesting part,” Deya begged. “No one is riding dragons around the foothills because we obviously know you said not to do that, and we listened.”
“I don’t even care,” I chuckled. “This place is above and beyond great. I can’t believe you’ve all been working on this. Odin told me flat out that it was impossible.”
“Perhaps for a mage at his skill level it is,” Shoshanne allowed, “but the others were able to work it out by collaborating, and we wanted to give you a present.”
“You ladies don’t have to give me anything.”
“But you made us our cages even though you prefer it when we’re all in bed together,” Deya said with a shrug.
“Hey, I don’t mind the cages,” I clarified. “Both scenarios are cool with me.”
“And,” Shoshanne continued, “since you’re so accommodating and let us keep you up all night, we thought it was only fair if we gave you what you wanted most.”
“Steamy sex cave with a waterfall!” Deya exclaimed as her eyes glittered. “Although, technically, Shoshanne’s been more excited about this than the cages.”
“Yeah, she’s not a cage girl,” I chuckled.
“I’m not,” the healer sighed. “I just want to be by you.”
“Now, the bathing pool constantly filters but remains the same temperature, and even the waterfall is heated!” Deya gushed. “Plus, we had Pindor add a ledge inside the pool, so whenever you’re tired or almost dead, you can just sit back and enjoy watching us all play in the waterfall.”
“All of the plants are medicinally useful, too,” Shoshanne added, “and two of them are aphrodisiacs. Smell that subtle hint of chocolate? That’s one of them.”
The sexiest and sweetest women I’d ever known just gave me my own sex jungle, and the best part was no one would be throwing daggers at me in it.
Anytime I wanted, I could drag one or two or all of my women off for a steamy break from reality, and all of my tension just about vanished while I turned full circle to admire the place. The heavy scent of plant life along with the heat pressing in around me made it feel like I wasn’t in the foothills at all, and as I eyed the heated caves behind the waterfall, that subtle scent of chocolate wafted over me.
“So … I know we have a hundred things to do right now,” I led, “but I’m gonna need both of you to take off your clothes and--”
I turned around to find Deya and Shoshanne already nude and waiting for me, and every inch of them was glistening with a sheen of steam. Then the caramel beauty bit her bottom lip at me, and she slowly trailed her fingers up Deya’s creamy thigh.
“We’re actually gonna need you to take off your clothes,” the beautiful elf purred.
I grinned and was already reaching for my belt. “Yes, ma’am.”
Chapter 7
Deya and Shoshanne sauntered past me as they headed for the pool at my back, and with my eyes glued to their thick glistening ass cheeks, I nearly tripped over my pants trying to follow after them. Then I violently wrenched my boots off, and the two women were already easing themselves into the water by the time I casually straightened up like I hadn’t face planted into a giant fern.
They giggled at the look on my face and lazily splashed water over themselves as they beckoned me over, and when I stepped down onto the bench and into the pool, they made their way over to me.
“Holy shit, this really is the perfect temperature,” I realized, and I was about to launch into a story about almost scalding my balls off in a hot spring once, but Shoshanne and Deya were now flush against me on either side of me.
So, I just grinned as they pressed their steamy breasts against me and started nibbling at my ears, and my palms slid to their backends while the bubbling of the water did outrageous things to my lower half. The two women began taking turns kissing me while they trailed their fingers across my abs, but when Deya pulled away, I turned to watch her wade over to the edge of the pool as Shoshanne’s tongue burned a trail down my neck.
Then Deya hopped up to perch herself on the mossy ledge, and she coyly bit at her lip as she spread her legs for me. My lungs almost stopped working when she slid a finger into her pink entrance, and as she slowly trailed it up to her clit, I could see it was slick from her arousal.
My legs stumbled toward her like they had a mind of their own, and as I knelt on the bench and kneaded her splayed thighs, the beautiful elf let out a silvery giggle. Then she curled her fingers in my hair and forced my head lower.
The moment my lips grazed her skin, the elf let out a shaky sigh, and when I began to suckle lightly at the bead of her clit, she whimpered in approval. I chuckled as she collapsed back onto her elbows, and I was about to delve my tongue in for a taste when I felt Shoshanne’s lips around cock.
I gasped and instinctively grabbed the healer by the hair to pull her back up to the surface, and she had her lips puckered in shock as I gaped down at her.
“What the hell are you doing?” I demanded. “You could drown down there, I read this story once about--”
“Mason, I’m an Aer Mage,” Shoshanne reminded me as she grinned, and when I processed what this meant, my grip on her hair suddenly went limp as my knees went numb.
Then the caramel skinned beauty winked and slipped down beneath the surface, and I could only groan and brace my weight against the ledge as her tongue began to tease the tip of my cock. The combination of the heated water swirling around us and her silky tongue was so overwhelming that my entire body began to twitch uncontrollably, but then Deya cleared her throat, and I chuckled as she wrenched my head down once more.
So, I did my best to focus despite the sensation of Shoshanne’s plush lips slowly taking my length into her, and while Deya’s head dropped back with a lusty moan, I looked up at her heaving breasts and the flecks of steam clinging to her pink nipples. The more I teased her clit, the wetter she got until she was strewn across the moss and clutching her hair, and when her violet eyes looked down at me in desperation, I finally delved my tongue into her slick entrance.
Deya’s back arched as she immediately spasmed against my tongue, but I just kept devouring her pussy while Shoshanne’s nails dug into my thighs. I couldn’t help thrusting myself into the healer’s mouth as Deya’s moans grew louder, but when my seed suddenly gushed from my shaft, I accidentally nipped at Deya’s clit.
What I didn’t expect was for this to send the beautiful elf into an instant orgasm, and as she shrieked with pleasure, I could feel Shoshanne’s throat steadily pulsing around my cock to take in every drop. I’d never been so aroused in my life as I grinned and lightly nipped at Deya once more, and the elf clutched at my hair to pull me more firmly against her.
Deya’s orgasm rolled into another one before I’d even finished my own climax, but when I finally resurfaced, the elf was flushed and gasping as she trembled on the mossy floor in front of me.
“Damn,” I panted, “you’re seriously into that?”
Deya let out a shameless giggle while she nodded, but I still couldn’t help gently stroking her with my fingers in case my teeth had hurt her at all. Then Shoshanne’s lips slowly slid away from my cock, and she emerged from the water looking like a copper haired mermaid as she brushed her curls back from her face.
“My turn,” Shoshanne said huskily, and my brows shot up as the caramel beauty flipped me around and shoved me onto the bench. My legs were wobbly enough that it took pretty much no effort, and Deya’s thighs promptly hitched over my shoulders from behind to keep me there. Then the elf began stroking my hair while Shoshanne straddled me, and the healer braced her knees against the wall at my back as her brown eyes met mine.
She always liked when I controlled how I penetrated her, and it was one of my favorite things about her, so I gladly obliged. With my palms cupping her hips, I guided my shaft into her tight tunnel, and she locked her fingers around my neck to steady herself.
Deya chuckled in approval when Shoshanne’s eyes fluttered shut, and I took my time easing into her one inch at a time. The caramel beauty began to moan through her first orgasm before she even took my full length into her, but I just grinned as she rolled against me for more, and the moment she shrieked at the height of her climax, I forced her hips down onto my lap.
Deya’s nails scratched lightly across my chest while she watched Shoshanne whimper in my hold, and I could feel the elf’s thighs clenching against my shoulders like she wished it was her I had my cock buried in right now.
I focused on the healer, though, while droplets of steam dripped down her slender neck, and as I let her thrust more urgently against me, the heat of the room sent me into an erotic kind of trance.
All I could think of was the steam clinging to all of us, the roar of the water cascading down, and the moans of my women growing louder. The heady scent of the plants filled my lungs while my head dropped back to rest against Deya, and I was lost in the velvety sensation of Shoshanne’s unbelievably tight tunnel.
I locked the healer against me as her breaths started to come faster, and when she began to whimper, I slid one hand between us to tease her clit, too. Then Shoshanne bit down on my collar bone as her body jolted in my hold, and I grinned as the grating moan of her next orgasm filled my ears. I kept teasing her, though, just to prolong her enjoyment a bit, and by the time Shoshanne finally came down from her climax, her legs were trembling against the wall.
Still, I wasn’t even close to done with her.
“Hold her up for me,” I ordered as I glanced over my shoulder, and Deya giggled before she slipped her thighs off my shoulders and slid down into the water.
Then th
e beautiful elf braced Shoshanne’s back against her breasts, and she sent me a grin just before I felt her pressing the woman more firmly against me.
We kept Shoshanne locked between us as I tightened my hold on the healer’s ass, and she clawed at Deya’s shoulders as I forced myself even deeper.
Shoshanne gasped with every breath until she was quivering with pleasure, and I enjoyed the sight of her breasts jolting from the power of my thrusts while water coursed over her taut nipples. Then Deya began tracing circles around the healer’s deep red buds, and I instantly climaxed at the sound of Shoshanne’s moan of approval. The throbbing of my cock only sent her into another orgasm, though, and as my seed coursed deep into her, I could feel Shoshanne beginning to go limp between us.
We held her steady until the heavy pulse of my cum filling her gradually subsided, and Deya’s cheeks were already flushed in anticipation when my eyes locked onto hers.
“Your turn,” I growled, but then the beautiful elf shook her head coyly and turned away.
I stared at every dripping inch of her while she crawled out of the pool in a way that left her most erotic parts fully exposed to me, and just before she walked through the waterfall, she sent a mischievous grin over her shoulder.
I immediately pulled out of Shoshanne, but when I gently shifted the healer onto the bench beside me, she stroked her fingers along my jaw and to my neck as she pulled me in for a long, lingering kiss.
“Thank you,” Shoshanne purred, and I took a ragged breath as I considered the way her brown eyes bored into mine.
It didn’t matter how domineering I got with Shoshanne, she always looked at me the same way when I was finished with her. Like I was the only man in the world who mattered, and the fact that I actually was the only man she’d known like this made it impossible to loosen my hold on her slender waist. I was suddenly overwhelmed with the urge to hold her close and take my time enjoying her sultry curves, but the healer grinned in a way that showed she sensed my predicament.
Then Shoshanne chuckled and playfully shoved me away, and as another taunting giggle drifted from behind the waterfall, I took one last admiring glance at the caramel beauty’s drenched cleavage.
