“What, you mean from your dreams?”
“Yes, please just trust me.”
“Strangely enough I do.”
They walked back over to the four council members who were waiting for them. “Ok, I’ll do it, but on 2 conditions. First off, this is a one-night thing. You don’t ask me to do this again. If I volunteer, so be it. I think that we all need a night of rest without worrying about any monsters from the dungeon coming to kill us and while Amelia and I killed a crap ton of them today, there is no way to know how many there are.”
With a guarded tone Jasmine said, “Okay, I can agree to that. Now what is the other condition?”
“Simple, I get to pick who sleeps in the bungalow that I’m sleeping in.”
She stared at him for a minute and then Jay blushed and added, “I mean assuming they are willing. I’m not asking anyone to sleep with me, just saying I want to make sure that I can get along with the people in my bungalow.”
Mia and Kenzie giggled while Huong and Amelia glared at each other and finally Jasmine said, “Sure that’s reasonable enough. Now can you go take care of this right away before anyone panics about being left outside in the dark again?”
As they turned to walk away, Jasmine called out, “Oh how many of the monsters did you kill today? The council is trying to get a feel for how many more we might have to kill to be safe.”
Jay looked back and said, “Four owlbears and 13 lizats. Yes, that is what I’m calling the lizard cat things, until someone comes up with a better name.”
“What? That isn’t possible,” Kenzie said. “The other group only killed three of the uh lizats and one owlbear and there were 4 of them.”
Jay shrugged and said, “What can I say? Either you believe me or you don’t but I don’t have any reason to lie about it.”
He turned again to walk away and heard Huong saying, “You didn’t see him crush that thing's head with his bare hands. I believe he could do it.” After that they got too far away to hear the rest of the conversation. It just became hushed whispers traded back and forth as they discussed his story or whatever it was that the council did now.
While walking over to the terminal Jay looked at the notifications he had received when being dragged out of the dungeon but hadn’t been able to look at for the simple reason he had been unconscious. There wasn’t much to the message.
You have survived another cycle in the dungeon.
Now that you have completed Quest 1.1 you are eligible for credit bounties on creatures you delivered the death blow to. Using your nomenclature:

There wasn’t much to the message other than a ton of improvement. Apparently training and hunting really did pay off. He laughed to himself about the fact that he actually earned nearly all the credits that they were asking him to spend on housing. When Amelia asked what was so funny he reminded her to check her notifications and sure enough she grinned too.
They briefly discussed the improvements that they had made in the day and how it was likely that eventually the improvements would dry up but that for now it was a good thing to try and improve as much as they could.
Chapter 29 - Slumber Party
Jay first purchased a bungalow and then added Liam and eight of the girls. He asked the other guy if he had any preferences, but Liam didn’t seem to care. Jay took that to mean he would have equal luck with any of the girls. Given the steady stream of chemicals in the water that wasn’t as hard to believe as it might have been.
After that Jay took over guarding the terminal and those who had a spot in the bungalow went to it after he reminded them that they would be able to make basic purchases from inside the home for the night. Jay then called for nine volunteers for the second terminal and assigned them by their numbers since the shop didn’t recognize their names. He whittled the line down quite a bit by the time he had assigned nine people to each of the first four bungalows.
Now it got tenser as most of the girls with the exception of Jasmine seemed to be doing a lot of staring at him. Jasmine asked to be put into the next cabin with seven other girls. She asked for the other council members to come with her so that they could discuss business overnight, but Mia, Kenzie, and Huong were all staring wistfully at Jay. It was hard for him to feel bad, even though he knew it was probably just the aphrodisiacs working, yet he had never been the center of this much feminine attention and certainly not from a set of girls as hot as this.
Finally Jay said, “Look we have to split up into two groups of eight. So it’s pretty simple. Jasmine is gonna be captain of one team and I am gonna be captain of another team, just like back in high school PE class.”
Everyone groaned at the reminder but no one said anything. “Okay but I get to pick first,” Jasmine said. When Jay nodded she chose Mia.
Since Jay knew where his bread was buttered, he picked Amelia first. Jasmine then chose Kenzie and despite being able to predict Amelia’s reaction Jay picked Huong next. Over the next minute Jay ended up with Amelia, Huong, and five other girls that he didn’t know nearly as well. Some he knew their abilities, like the fire-wielding Meikiyo or Daphne with her ability to accelerate metabolic processes. Others, like Emma, Ava, and Charlotte who he only knew the names of but nothing else about them. He figured that they were solid choices because they had at least been able to calm themselves down when everyone initially appeared on the beach.
Once the groups were all divided up, Jay headed for the 6th bungalow with those assigned to it all in tow. When the door opened he was surprised to find the inside shaped differently than it had been before. The room was divided into two cubicles on each side of the room to the left and right of the door. There were three walled spaces that were open to the center of the room and only contained a bed slightly larger than a twin-sized mattress. Each bed had two pillows and were covered with both a sheet and a cushy blanket. At the back wall of the room was a thick wooden table that was surrounded by eight chairs. In the middle of the room was a large Jacuzzi-style bath that could easily fit four people. Between each of the cubicles were storage cubbies. The floor was marble around the tub and a plush carpet over the rest of the floor.
All the girls who had been inside of a bungalow the night before were shocked by the differences. The quality of everything had increased as had the basic floor plan. Meikiyo and two of the others hadn’t seen the inside of one of the cabins before and so were asking all kinds of questions. For his part, Jay just walked in and set his backpack and gear on the table while he started making purchases on the mini terminal. He bought three of the gourmet meals that served four and started getting toiletries and basic necessities that he stacked up on the table.
“Do any of you need anything?” Jay asked.
They all looked at each other but weren’t sure if they should take him up on it. Amelia didn’t hesitate for her part but got a new pair of clothing and a second dagger. After watching her willingness, one by one they became more willing to ask him for basics. Jay was both happy to help them but also sad to see how after three days of hardships a person could be reduced to tears of joy just to get some soap, toothpaste, and a razor.
The more that everyone relaxed, the more the girls began to loosen clothing or casually run their hand along his arm. They would bend forward and show cleavage or call over to him and ask a question as they bent over putting their items into a cubby space so as to flaunt their asses. Jay had
never been surrounded by so much cleavage or shapely thighs in such a small space.
The problem was that he quickly realized that he was going to lose control. It was becoming more and more apparent that the aphrodisiac effect took over whenever he felt calm. The way it worked made sense in a twisted way. The drug wouldn’t affect you when in combat or even while training. Yet as soon as you relaxed it would manifest. Jay didn’t know how he was gonna make this work, but he knew there was no way that he could be in this room right now or he was gonna lose control.
He looked back into the room and instead of seven beautiful women he saw seven feral creatures all wanting to jump on him and so lost in the lust that they didn’t even seem to care that the room was full of other people. Jay simply didn’t trust himself, iron will or no, he had to clear his head. He needed to focus. That was what the voice had told him. Don’t get distracted. He needed to think through the consequences of what could happen here. It certainly wasn’t that he didn’t want it to happen but that he needed to figure out how to handle it.
Once outside he finally took the time to buy a new shirt, even going so far as to buy a backup shirt and pants. The loose-fitting clothing was perfect for the fighting that he needed to do and kept him from getting scratched by various plants in the jungle. One of the few quirks that he was still holding onto from his childhood was how he couldn’t stand the feel of scratchy plants against his bare skin.
He put the shirt on and then began to work out. He spun and whirled with the spear, leaping into the air and blurring around faster than should have been possible. As he worked out he started to build up a sweat and his mind began to clear. He heard someone sneaking up behind him. It wouldn’t be Amelia because he learned when training with her that apart from his precognition which didn’t work all the time, he had no chance of detecting her when she was trying to be quiet.
Jay waited one more second till the footsteps were close then he spun and thrust out the spear as he burst forward fast enough to blur his motion. At the last instant he realized that it was Huong rather than a lizat or some other monster. He barely averted his thrust and the tip breezed past her head fast enough to blow her hair up.
“Oh wow, you are really amazing,” Huong said. She was breathless staring at him. “Is it safe to be out here alone? I mean what if something attacks you? Maybe I should stay out here with you.”
Jay looked around. The sun was still setting and he realized that he hadn’t heard any roaring sounds. In that moment he started to feel calmer while also realizing just how damn sexy she was. It was in a completely different form of appeal from Amelia but no less enticing. Her slender arms were sexy as his eyes followed them up to her shoulder and then saw the nape of her neck. Her cleavage showed in the tank top she was wearing, what there was of it. Yet somehow seeing her was so erotic. The gentle curves and delicate features made her seem like she needed to be pulled close to him, made him want to hold her tightly.
“You are so beautiful.” The words just came out before Jay’s brain had a chance to engage. “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable. I just blurted out what I was thinking. Maybe we should go back inside.”
“Do we have to?” Her question came out practically like a moan. He saw her need as plain as day on her face, but he still hadn’t sorted out what kind of mess he would make if he got involved with two women at the same time.
As he hesitated to say anything Huong bit her lower lip tentatively and then said, “I know you don’t want me. At least not like you want Amelia. I know you don’t look at me. Certainly not the way you look at Jasmine.”
Jay started to protest that she was beautiful but she glided up against him. Her small frame pressed up against his. He couldn’t help but be completely entranced by her scent. Somehow in this brutal place she had the scent of lilac all about her.
She raised her hand to his face and pressed her finger against his lips. “Shhhh, you don’t have to do anything for me. I just want to make you feel so good.”
Her small hands and slight weight pushed him back and before he knew it he was sitting on the ground behind their bungalow. She dropped to her knees between his legs as he sat sprawled out. With a quick glance into his eyes she gave him a look that promised so much. Then she lowered her head into his lap and started trying to yank his pants down. Jay lifted his weight up without even thinking about it to allow her to remove his covering.
His member stood straight up at attention in the brisk evening air and then was engulfed in the warmth and wetness of her mouth. She wasted no time but gently took him in. A short moan erupted from his mouth but she simply looked up and pulled back briefly to put her finger to her lips in the universal sign to be quiet.
It was in that moment that Jay noticed vines had sprouted up out of the ground and were slowly, subtly wrapping their way around each of his arms and legs. Before he knew it he was prone and entangled. She leaned back in and kissed the head of his cock before beginning to tease it with her tongue. The warmth of her breath was driving him crazy and he wanted those lips wrapped around him again.
She looked up at him, making sure to make eye contact and still he didn’t move. He didn’t struggle against the vines even though he was pretty sure he could have broken them if he needed to. Still she had control of him not because he was bound but because of the enthusiastic attention she was giving to his joystick.
Before long the slow tantalizing licks up the underside of his shaft from balls to head gave way to a shallow sucking as she took in just his head. Her tongue swirled over that tight bundle of nerves while she applied just the perfect amount of pressure with her lips. The suction was exquisite.
He felt his need for her rising up in him. It almost felt like it radiated out of him and even then he moaned, not noticing the way she was moaning back in an echo. Her lust grew more apparent as she began to swallow more of him. His size wasn’t that of some porn star monster but it was nothing to be ashamed of and yet she was gobbling it down without faltering.
If he had been watching from the outside he would have undoubtedly been drawn to the seemingly incomprehensible way in which his entire cock disappeared into her tiny mouth and down her throat. He didn’t have the brainpower at the moment to wonder where she put it all or how she managed to not gag because once she got him ready she started bobbing her head vigorously on him.
“God,” he moaned out as he felt an intensity that he had never experienced before. Her fingers were running up and down his thighs and then sliding underneath and he felt her nails digging in under him as she pulled him up trying to get more of him into her mouth. It was like she craved it. He felt waves of passion rushing over him and knew that no matter how hard he tried, he wasn’t going to be able to last much longer.
Ever the gentleman he groaned out in a throaty voice, “God, I’m so close,” while hoping that she didn’t stop. She was trembling and looked up at him with his cock buried deep in her throat. As they made eye contact once again, he could see the wild lust in her eyes and the eager desire for what he was about to give her.
With no more reason to hold back, Jay gave in to the passion, thrusting up with his hips to fully stuff her eager mouth as he started to shoot streams of hot cum down her throat. Never once did she relax her sucking or let up the passion of her bobbing as she took him completely and swallowed all of his seed.
A few seconds after his last spurt she pulled back and sat up. “God, I’m so close. I almost orgasmed from giving you a blow job.” Then without another word, she stood and dropped her shorts and panties; panties which even in the dim light, he couldn’t help but notice were soaked. Without a word of warning she was straddling his legs and grinding her wetness up against his still-hard cock. How he would ever get soft with attention like this was beyond him.
There was even less warm-up than with her lustful sucking and within a handful of seconds Jay found himself deeply embedded into the second hot pussy within as many days. The dungeon
might be hell, but this was its heavenly counterpart. He strained against the vines to pull his arms up but she said, “No, no, don’t struggle, just let me do this for you. I just have to have you in me.”
Then she began to rock her hips and damn if her pussy couldn’t suck as hard as her mouth did. He didn’t know how to compare her to Amelia, so he didn’t bother, he just let himself enjoy the smoldering heat and tightly squeezing walls of her femininity around him. It was amazing to watch her neatly trimmed pussy bouncing on him so that with each forward rock of her hips his manhood disappeared entirely into her body.
Her back arched and a moan burst out. For all that she had told him to be quiet she wasn’t holding back and anyone around with ears would hear her orgasm. She rocked and rocked and he felt wave after vibrating wave of contractions as it seemed like her entire body clenched down onto him.
No man could have resisted that for long and despite just having cum two minutes before he was once again on the threshold of bliss. A part of him said to hold back but he paid it no heed as he bucked in rhythm with her grinding ride causing her to orgasm again just in time to receive another of his loads spurting deep into her pussy.
When her orgasm ended she collapsed forward against him. He could feel her ragged breathing as she tried to gain control of herself. Jay put his arms around her and kissed her cheeks and neck. “That was amazing. You are amazing, Huong.” He made eye contact again with her as he said those words.
She laid her head against his chest and sighed deeply. “Thank you, Jay. I’ve never needed someone as much as that.”
“It is the water. Don’t feel bad, you couldn’t help it. Neither of us could.”
Her voice cracked a bit as she said, “No don’t say that. I wanted you because you are a great guy. You have looked out for all of us since the beginning. Even when you didn’t have to, you took an interest in me. You spoke to me like a real person, not just about school stuff and not just trying to get a hookup. So don’t blame this just on some chemical reaction.”
