Kal was a panicky wreck by the time Gerda brought them back up onto the trail not far from Ikuno's pool. He had failed to realize that, even though Gerda 'flew' through the stone at a good pace, the trip back to Ikuno's cave would still take nearly a full hour. With no means of communicating with Gerda, he had no choice but to deal with his phobia and wait until they resurfaced.
Once he had gotten his wits about him and recovered from the journey, he explained to Ikuno and Gerda what the issue was. Ikuno's solution was predictable, stripping him down and pushing him into Gerda's arms for a naked make-out session as they sunk down into the stone below. After some time being distracted from his surroundings by dueling tongues and heavy petting with the golem girl, he reemerged slightly more comfortable with the situation. However, Kal still wasn't sold on the prospect of spending hours at a time moving through miles of solid stone. When Gerda agreed to surface every so often, so he could get an occasional breath of fresh air, he was at least no longer terrified of the idea.
Kal was planning on heading straight home as soon as they got back to the cave. Unfortunately, his insistence on leaving disrupted Ikuno's plans. She had hoped that he would be staying for a little bit but couldn't fault him for wanting to rush home with his mother's deteriorating health. Despite wanting to wait for the more familiar surroundings of her cavern, Ikuno took a few moments to describe in detail what had happened up to the point Gerda had disappeared with him. At times the expression on the oni's face had been more telling, and terrifying, than her portrayal of the events. By the time she finished her account Kal was visibly shaken. Once he had collected himself they made their way down the trail.
Kal dug around in his pack for the partially drained crystal as they walked from the pool to Ikuno's cave. The oni had left it in there once she no longer needed it since she wasn't able to charge it at the time. When they reached the end of the trail Gerda didn't want to step off of the mountain onto the dirt and grass so she and Ikuno had stopped there to talk. Briefly interrupting, Kal asked Ikuno if she would refill the crystal. It shone brightly as it recharged with a touch to her horns, once she handed it back to him he was ready to go.
Stamina and Haste runes glowed and spun up respectively on his vambrace as he pointed himself towards home. Gerda's eyes widened in surprise as Kal bent his knees slightly before leaning forward then speeding off to the west.
Ikuno threw an arm over the golem's shoulders, getting one of the slowest startled responses the oni had seen in her life, directing Gerda off the trail and into her cave saying, "So, tell me about these sisters of yours."
------
Kal made short work of what was normally a two-hour trek back to his farm. As he approached he let himself slow down by cutting power to the runes. A small racket from inside the barn told him Perra was likely working in there as he jogged the rest of the way to the house.
Opening the front door, he found his mother already standing in front of her chair, having recognized the sound of his boots walking up the front steps. Without speaking he stepped over and wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm okay mother, see?" he said as she sobbed quietly into his chest, she responded by giving him a small squeeze. After a few moments, they separated and Kal helped her back into her chair before taking a seat nearby.
"Perra said you were stolen away by a rock golem and that Ikuno was going to rescue you, I'm guessing she succeeded?" his mother asked.
"Mostly, though the golem and I had come to an agreement before Ikuno arrived. She did bring along a translation spell that made communicating with Gerda much easier."
"Gerda? You are on a first name basis with this girl already?" she noted Kal's slight blush and continued on, "I see, you are more than acquaintances, aren't you. How does Ikuno feel about all of this?" she asked.
Kal thought for a moment about the choices he made outside Gerda's cavern. With a sigh, he decided that he could also do away with keeping secrets from his mother about his life outside the farm.
"Yes, that was part of the deal," he said in a level tone. "She would let me go if I promised to come back and see her every so often. Ikuno is from a land far to the east, in her culture, a man having many women is seen as a sign of power and virility, she actually encourages it."
"What about Perra? She's coming of age soon and it's obvious that she has her sights set on you."
"Perra was there when Ikuno told me about how it would be wise for me to build relationships with many monster girls, as it would help me in the long run as a mage."
"Curious, how so?"
"She gave the example of: I could sail out onto the sea, slay a giant squid, then collect its ink or trade some intimate time with a squid girl for ink of roughly the same quality or better."
Kal could tell that his mother didn't fully approve of her son having relationships with multiple women. She sighed and picked up her knitting, "How do you plan on dealing with it if you have children with them?" His mother looked up at his face when he was silent, then brought her knitting needles down to her lap, "Kal… No…"
"Sorry, mother, but the answer is yes, Aradelle and I have a daughter together. If you can't deal with your first granddaughter being an alarune I understand. However, if you are okay with it then I'd like to take you to her little grove in a few weeks when she starts to sprout."
Kal's mother stared at him, blinking repeatedly as she processed everything he just said.
"Sprout? Are you joking?" she asked cautiously.
Kal shook his head, "Not at all, you can ask Perra when she comes in since she was there for the birth. Admittedly, it was a little strange to see my first-born child as a large seed instead of a baby."
"Little?" his mother asked.
"Perhaps that's understating things a bit, but Ikuno has been adamant that I need to be able to adapt to new information and situations quickly once I strike out on my own. Downplaying things seems to help me do just that."
"Really? What other things have you been 'downplaying'," she asked.
Kal sighed, all or nothing he figured, and he was already in this far. The Haste rune on his vambrace lit up and started spinning but he never activated it, "This rune here, is mine. Not 'I drew it' or 'I found it in a book'. To my knowledge, this exact rune doesn't exist anywhere else. Ikuno says that she has never seen anything like it." His mother was staring in wonder at the spinning rune. He had shown it to her before, but it seemed so much more amazing now that she knew her son had constructed this particular piece of magic.
He let her absorb that for a moment before letting the rune fade and speaking again, "The other thing I'm keeping from you…"
Her eyes left the fading rune and met his, "You said 'other' not 'last'," it was a statement, not a question.
Kal nodded, "I won't betray Ikuno's trust, mother, I'm sure she has her reasons for only wanting you to know her name and nothing else. The other thing I'm keeping from you is that Ikuno and Gerda belong to me."
His mother's eyes narrowed, "How do you mean?"
"Exactly as I said, as far as they are concerned they belong to me. I'm still learning how this whole thing works, and to be honest, Gerda was a complete surprise. Between us there is some kind of magical bond that allows me to tell them what to do, to a certain extent."
Kal's mother didn't seem happy with his explanation, her eyes narrowing further, "Sounds awfully close to slavery."
Kal shook his head, "It's nothing of the sort, since I claimed Ikuno she has gone against my wishes many times. When I asked her about it she told me that if she has a good enough reason she could ignore what I told her. This was to keep people from using the bond to force someone to rob a noble or make them strip naked in the middle of town. In retrospect, she did have a good reason each time, I just couldn't see it at that particular moment. The bond really just makes them look out for my best interests and nudges them towards doing what I want without forcing them. So no, it's nothing like slavery."
"Meaning, that you can't tell Ikuno to come here so I could finally meet her."
Kal shook his head, "I could order her to do it, but I'm absolutely certain that her reasons are solid enough that she could just tell me 'no'."
"Hmph," said his mother and picked up her knitting again, but only for a moment before giving Kal a suspicious look. "Why are you telling me all this now?"
Kal took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "I nearly died up on the mountain the day I went missing." His mother gasped. "Ikuno told me the story about what happened after I got knocked out. I'd been ripped to shreds by an exploding rock, had my chest caved in, legs broken, back broken, and head severely messed up. Ikuno managed to heal me but nearly lost her fingers in the process when a lightning bolt struck her healing spell. The way she understands it, the lightning over-charged the healing spells getting me out of danger and partially healing her fingers. She finished them up with this," the healing rune lit up dimly.
Kal stared down at the rune, "I think that was the closest I've ever come to death. Even when Emrick was rearranging my face I wasn't worried that he wanted me dead. It scared the hell out of me listening to Ikuno and hearing the fear in her voice as she described how badly I was hurt. It got me thinking, 'what if I hadn't made it?' If that were the case, someone else would have had to tell you all of this, I didn't want that."
His mother nodded, "Thank you Kal, though I can't tell you how much the thought of losing you terrifies me, I appreciate that you were up front with everything going on in your life. Well… almost everything," she said smiling before going back to her knitting.
The sound of a crash from the direction of the barn, followed by some very unladylike cursing, came through the wall of the house, drawing the attention of mother and son. Kal stood as the complaining got closer, then went over to stand behind the front door as the Perra came around to the front of the house. There was a thump on the front step and Kal could almost see her looking down at his footprint for a moment before figuring out what it meant. Her next few steps across the porch sounded like she was running.
Perra threw the door open to see Kal standing there with his arms open, "Kal!" she yelled and threw her arms around his neck pulling his mouth to hers. Kal stiffened with shock for a moment before putting his arms around her. She had never kissed him on the mouth before.
Perra broke the kiss, "Mygoodnesswhendidyougetbacki'vebeensoworried. Mmph!" she said in a rush before kissing him again. Kal was surprised again as her tongue speared into his mouth but he recovered quicker this time and returned the kiss.
Suddenly, Perra froze. Wondering what was wrong Kal opened his eyes to see her staring at him, her face slowly going more and more crimson as she realized what she was doing. With laughter in his eyes, Kal gently started swirling the tip of his tongue around hers, then flicked it back and forth and up and down before swirling around it again. Perra finally broke out of her frozen state and gave a little shriek into his mouth before letting him go and bolting out the door. Kal hoped her cherry red face wasn't all from embarrassment.
He turned around and saw his mother was attempting to give him a very cross look, but he could see the smile in her eyes. Kal gave her a sheepish grin in return and shrugged before stepping out the door. Pausing out on the porch, he began to set up a plan of things that needed to be done today, he still had a meeting to keep with Aradelle and was expecting to be gone tomorrow and the day after. Stamina and strength runes came to life as he stepped off the porch. Pushing a little bit of power into the speed rune as well he figured he could make quick work of his chores.
Kal was momentarily curious where Perra had disappeared off to, hoping she was having more fun than he was, wherever she happened to be. His little trick had left his trousers a bit on the drafty side. He really couldn't wait till that girl's birthday.
------
Since he had worked so hard to get everything done the day before, there wasn't much left for Perra to take care of, so he saddled up Bonn and had the girl climb up behind him. They made their way towards Ikuno's home with only one stop a little way off the normal path, so Kal could show Perra the small mound that Eludora lie beneath. After a couple of pats on the mound and encouraging words from each they hopped back on Bonn's back and continued on their way to Ikuno's.
During the journey, Kal filled the girl in on what had happened while he had been gone as well as letting Perra know that, except for Ikuno's de***********ion, he was no longer keeping secrets from his mother. The only thing he left out was that Gerda was bonded to him, he wasn't quite sure how to explain things when the situation seemed to contradict what Ikuno had told them about developing such a bond.
Perra had been looking forward to meeting Gerda ever since she heard about the golem and was disappointed to find she wasn't waiting for them with Ikuno. The oni was standing just outside the cave entrance leaning against the stone wall with a travel pack on the ground beside her. Kal pulled Bonn up in front of Ikuno then him and Perra dismounted.
"Hello beautiful," said Kal, "Are we taking the normal way today?" He couldn't hide the hope in his voice.
Ikuno grinned, "Nope," as she stepped away from the wall, "Your newest woman has a few surprises yet, she appears to be a bit of a geomancer too." The oni waved her hand at a circular rune that had been carved into the rock right behind where she had been standing. Kal stepped forward to inspect it…
"Your newest woman?!" said Perra nearly yelling, "Does that mean what I think it means?"
Kal turned around to see Perra nearly bristling, "Yes it does Perra, for some reason she bonded with me. I didn't want to tell you until I had a good idea how it happened since I doubted you would believe me."
"My explanation is as good as any, right now," said Ikuno.
Kal winced, "True."
Perra was getting impatient, "Out with it! What's this explanation as to how something that is supposed to take ages managed to happen overnight and with the girl who kidnapped you?"
Kal winced again under the young girl's gaze, "Ikuno thinks it's because I was her first."
He turned his head to the side and waited for the explosion. A few moments passed with no answer from Perra.
"That makes sense, some of us girls put a lot of emotion and trust into the person we choose to be our first," she finally said.
Kal looked over in surprise to see Perra standing there staring at him with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Not the reaction you were expecting, Kal?"
"Not even remotely."
"I wouldn't worry about it too much. So where is Gerda?" she asked Ikuno.
The oni indicated the carving once again, "Kal, would you do the honors?"
Kal studied the rune for a moment. He recognized the glyph in the middle as Sonor for sound, at the same time he didn't. It was roughly the same shape but not quite what he was familiar with. He ran his hand over the sigil. It wasn't until he thought about the likely purpose of the entire rune that it occurred to him.
"This is for sound traveling through the earth, isn't it? Wait, not the earth, a solid, it's for making a sound in solids. The one I've seen is for making sounds in the air. I'd bet that if I looked hard enough I'd find one of these for water too!" Kal was almost jumping up and down with excitement by the time he finished speaking.
"Settle down my young runesmith, what else do you see," Ikuno asked.
"Direction is straight back, movement and time are tied together so the sound travels straight back for awhile, then… this appears to be an activation sigil?" He looked over at Ikuno, "I don't think we've run across any delayed activation runes in the book yet."
"You won't, I looked through the rest of the book last night. Either the author didn't know about them or it was beyond his understanding when he put pen to paper. At a guess I would say the latter as I can't imagine he would have never heard of it, delayed activation would be extremely handy for making traps and such. Even I have a spell that uses one, though it is somewhat advanced."
"What spell is that?" Kal asked.
Ikuno summoned a magic circle in front of her hand but made certain not to activate it, "It's a Fire Wall spell. You press it to the ground and columns of flame appear in rows out to each side, the delay gives you enough time to step away before it creates the wall."
"That makes sense," said Kal looking between Ikuno's spell and the rune on the rock face.
"Glad it makes sense to you two," said Perra from behind him, "when you get talking like that sometimes it feels like you are speaking a different language. Are you going to call Gerda now?"
"Give him a minute," said Ikuno, "What else do you see Kal?"
"Let's see… 'source' and 'being', so I guess that means the caster. 'Voice'… no, 'speak' then 'name' and 'word' and finally, it has 'merge' in front of this waveform for the outermost circle. It seems odd though…" Kal dug into his pack for his inkwell and, using his telekinesis cantrip, drew out a couple of drops quickly forming them into a floating copy of the rune on the wall.
"If I move these to the center then replace the movement and time with an approximate distance instead, then finally the activation rune," the floating ink moved according to his instructions. Unnoticed by Kal, Ikuno had moved over to stand next to Perra.
"There, that should work just as well. Hopefully a bit better," said Kal as he laid the ink on the rock next to the original.
"Are you sure about that, Kal?" said Ikuno. "Some of these sigils you have never seen before, yet you are playing around with them thinking you can 'improve' them."
Kal turned around to see her and Perra next to each other, a spot in the back of his mind thought it was odd that Ikuno had moved away but he quickly dismissed it. "I think I grasp what the rune is trying to do pretty well. I'm fairly confident this will work." He turned back around and laid his hand over the rune he had made.
As the rune lit up beneath Kal's hand Ikuno nudged Perra to get her attention then silently instructed the girl to take a few steps back and put her hands over her ears. Perra gave the oni a questioning look but did as Ikuno instructed. Kal leaned into the rune and said "Gerda."
The sound was so loud that it blew Kal's hair back as the stone answered, "GGGGEEEERRRR! ddddaaaa." The word growing fainter as it raced off into the depths of the mountain.
"Owwwww," said Kal holding his head and trying to stop the world from spinning. The noise had been so blaring and so intensely deep it made him dizzy, feeling like it had traveled straight to his bones and left them vibrating. About the time he got enough of his wits back to use his healing rune, Ikuno's magic circle appeared next to his face and took care of his aching ears and head.
"Had a feeling that was going to happen," said Ikuno when he could hear again.
"A little warning maybe?"
"Nope. You didn't know these sigils and glyphs as well as the ones on your bracers, yet you thought you could do better without ever seeing how they worked. You were just begging for a lesson in humility. I will give you credit for figuring out how Gerda's rune works without me showing you. Now do the exact same thing with hers." Before doing as she asked Kal took out his inkwell and a piece of parchment, copying the rune for later study. After putting his writing supplies away, Kal placed his hand over the golem's rune and charged it then spoke her name again.
As they waited for Gerda to appear Ikuno said, "She shouldn't be long, she mostly just wanted to hear your voice as you summoned her. Gerda had me do the same last night and told me she would only respond to you and me."
"What about Perra and Aradelle? We trust them," he said looking over at Perra.
"I don't think Perra is an option because she can't be bonded to you the way we can, just not enough natural magic. With Aradelle even once you've claimed her there is still no solid stone around her for either Aradelle to summon her or Gerda to travel through. She can pass through dirt but too slowly to escape any hunters. Don't underestimate her paranoia about being hunted for her eye, she will not take chances."
"She took a chance on kidnapping Kal," argued Perra.
"That was more desperation and opportunity. She's nearly as strong as me, can pass through solid stone, and cover her entire body in an armor of living rock. Make me an ogre instead of an oni and Kal a normal man instead of a novice mage and what danger would we have really posed to her?"
"Fair point," Perra conceded; she saw movement out of the corner of her eye and turned towards the trail leading up to the shower and pool. "I think she's here."
It was slightly disconcerting to the observers to watch Gerda walk out of the stone trail, like it was actually some trick of the light that this woman was appearing out of solid rock. Kal was pleased to see that she had opted for her more human looking form where the rocky parts of her body were flesh colored and barely thicker than her regular skin. Perra snorted and rolled her eyes as the trail revealed that Gerda had decided to go without her stone bikini, while in Kal's mind her breasts had a rather pleasing bounce and sway as she walked. As the trail dipped below her thighs they could see that the bottom part of the bikini was missing as well.
Kal also took note of a slightly forced sway to her hips, like she wasn't used to walking in such a manner. The motion looked familiar to him, only better suited for a larger body with long legs. He threw a questioning glance at Ikuno who did a poor job of feigning innocence. As the rocky trail dropped below Gerda's knees she stepped out of the rock and onto it, walking the rest of the way down. During her short walk across the grass, she never got outside arm's reach of the stone wall beside her.
Stopping in front of Kal she turned at an angle to him, thrusting her chest out and her hips back she reached up, putting her hands behind her neck then lifting them upward along with her hair and letting it fall back in a continuous sheet as she stretched. Kal knew for a fact he had seen Ikuno do the exact same pose, but it seemed to do a lot more for Gerda's more cushioned body style opposed to the oni's more muscular frame. Looking at him through eyes hooded with desire, she licked her lips and said, "Hello.. Master."
Kal was horribly torn, he knew that she had gone to all this trouble for him and had put on an amazing little display, were it not for Perra's presence and his meeting with Aradelle later he would likely be balls deep in the woman already. On the other hand, everything she had done was straight out of Ikuno's repertoire and in contrast, it was plain to see that she was a rank amateur compared to the sultry blue woman. Perra unwittingly came to his rescue.
"What on earth was that noise that came out of her mouth?" asked the young girl.
Kal and Ikuno groaned and the golem girl visibly deflated as the mood broke.
"Perra!" Ikuno scolded the girl as Kal moved forward to give Gerda a hug, "she worked really hard on that last night!"
"Okay! I get that, and I'm sorry! To be honest it was… pretty sexy. I just wasn't expecting it to sound like Bonn walking across gravel when she talked," she said waving a hand towards the edge of the clearing where the horse was grazing after Kal had startled him earlier.
Ikuno looked over at Kal, "I have one pearl left Kal. Do you think we should give it to Perra or wait and save it for Aradelle?"
"Perra," said Kal holding a very contented looking golem in his arms, "unless something major changes, it's going to be a long time before Gerda and Aradelle meet."
Ikuno grabbed Perra's hand and started pulling her towards the cave, "It's going to take ten…"
"Twenty," said Kal.
"…maybe twenty minutes to get all the components together and get the pearl ready for the translation spell."
"Oh come on!" complained Perra, "it's not like I don't know what they'll be doing out here."
Ikuno rounded on the human girl, "Do you want to stay out here and watch, Perra? Do you want to watch as Kal's hard cock slides in and out of a pussy that was virginal just yesterday?" Ikuno's face was getting closer to Perra's and her voice breathier with arousal. "Because I do, hell, I'll even join in if they want, if not I'll just find a spot nearby where I can watch as they get it on, sometimes it's fun to just watch. Is that what you want Perra?"
Perra's face had gone red but not from embarrassment or anger, she unconsciously was rubbing her thighs together and biting her lip as she cast quick glances over at Kal and Gerda, "Well, um…"
Ikuno grabbed her by the hand and dragged the girl into the cave, "Too bad, you'll have to wait until your birthday," she said laughing.
"Damn you Ikuno!" yelled Perra as she stumbled along trying to keep up with the larger woman's strides.
Kal and Gerda both chuckled quietly at Perra's ranting. He was going to have to do something special for the oni as thanks.
Kal lifted Gerda's chin so she was looking at him, "Your little show was very nice, but I have something special planned with Aradelle today."
"I know," the golem said in her slow, halting manner, "Ikuno's plan to keep you excited for Are-dell," seemed like the translation spell was having a hard time with Aradelle's name.
"Sounds like something Ikuno would do. What about you, how are you doing today?"
"Not sore anymore, want you, but don't need you right now."
Kal smiled, "I can work with that." He turned and gently pushed Gerda up against the stone wall next to them. Kal started by kissing her soundly, his tongue exploring her mouth as she tentatively did the same. Leaving her mouth, he ran his lips across her neck and left a trail of small hickeys as he nibbled at the sensitive skin. Moving down he spent a good amount of time teasing and gently biting at her pebble like nipples, making her back arch as she thrust her breasts into him. Gerda was breathing hard and making small rocking motions with her hips as he teased his way across her belly. He lifted one leg and held it up behind the knee off to the side, his strength rune glowing lightly so he wouldn't tire, and put one hand behind her bottom and tilted her hips forward angling her pussy towards him.
Kal traced the very edges of her folds with the tip of his tongue, making the golem girl reach down and tangle her fingers in his hair while letting out a long moan of pleasure. Suddenly, Kal ran into a problem.
As Gerda moaned in her grinding rock voice the translation spell repeated an emotionless, "Oh," three times in Kal's ear. Kal didn't know whether to laugh or be annoyed at the situation, considering where his tongue was he thought it would be prudent to do neither. Instead, he looked up and gave her an apologetic look before raising a finger to her lips. Gerda sighed in acceptance and disappointment, holding her mouth tightly closed as Kal went back to work.
Kal attacked her clit lightly swirling his tongue around it trying to get the mood back, once she was breathing hard and flushed again he returned to teasing her folds. Kal quickly realized this was a very awkward angle for him, it worked much better with the taller oni. He had Gerda turn around and lean against the rock face with her legs spread. Kneeling behind her he brought a hand up to lightly brush her clit as he continued to tease her lips and dip his tongue inside her sex.
Kal learned something very interesting when he decided to take advantage of this position's access to her bottom. As he ran his tongue around her pucker she let out a high-pitched screech from behind her closed lips. He thought since she liked that then perhaps she would enjoy having his tongue a bit deeper, but when Kal pressed against her back door she jerked away making a definitively negative noise. Confused but accepting, Kal went back to teasing the area around her rear entrance.
He was a little surprised at how much she was enjoying this. Even more so when she reached back with both hands, one pushing his hand away from her clit while the other hand went straight to Kal's head. Gerda's fingers flew over her clit as she pulled him hard against her ass, his tongue happily laving her pucker as she raced towards orgasm.
As Gerda came, instead of trying to keep her mouth shut she phased her head into the rock wall and let out a scream of pleasure which to Kal's ears sounded like she was a normal human standing on the other side of a thin wall. Kal continued his attentions to her rear until her hand stopped moving and she pushed him away. Kal felt he honestly deserved some sort of praise for seeing the golem girl through to the end; it's difficult to not freeze in shock when you look over your lovers back and see she's headless.
Kal pulled Gerda's head out of the wall and sat down with his back to the stone face, pulling the golem girl into his lap and cradling her unusually heavy body as her breathing returned to normal. He kissed her forehead as she relaxed against his chest, it was a little odd that her ruby eye didn't close in contentment like the other one.
"I have a question for you Gerda, can you make a facemask out of rock that only covers your mouth?" asked Kal.
She looked up at him and the rocky part of her face returned to its normal thick gray stone before a small section on her cheek grew down and covered her mouth and chin like a stone bandanna, a crack formed in the front as she said, "like this?"
"Exactly like that!" He said getting excited, "now can you speak behind it without moving the facemask?"
The golem girl's face screwed up in concentration as she tried to do as Kal asked but every time she spoke the crack would immediately form and copy her lips. After a number of attempts, she looked up at Kal apologetically and shook her head, the rock mouth covering shrinking back into her cheek before changing back to her more human form.
Kal heard sounds coming from the cave indicating that Ikuno and Perra were on their way back. With a little help from his strength rune, he picked up Gerda and set her on her feet. His own attempt to stand turned into a stumble as he discovered that both of his legs had fallen asleep. Gerda regrew her pebble bikini and the rock parts of her body returned to their normal thickness and gray color as Ikuno and Perra emerged from the cave entrance. The two were treated to the sight of Gerda laughing as Kal hopped about in discomfort from the pins and needles as his feet and legs woke up.
Perra had a short but pleasant conversation with Gerda now that they could understand one another, though the human girl was getting noticeably impatient with Gerda's pausing after each word. Kal and Ikuno spoke for a moment about what he had discovered while she and Perra were inside and they decided it needed more looking into but on another day since they still had an appointment to keep with a particular alarune. Perra went and got Bonn from where he was grazing over at the edge of the clearing then rode him back to the other three who were double checking supplies before they set out.
"Hey Kal," said Perra, pulling up behind him.
Kal finished looking through his pack then stood and turned towards her, "Yes?"
"When I told you earlier not to worry too much about it? I lied," Perra flipped a small white bundle at Kal's head and nudged Bonn into a trot in the direction of the farm. The bundle smacked wetly into his face and partially hung from the shocked man's features. As he recovered from the surprise Ikuno was already laughing so hard she had fallen to her knees and had tears in the corners of her eyes, Gerda was completely bewildered by what was going on.
As Kal reached up to peel the piece of fabric from his face the first thing to strike him was the scent, it filled his nostrils and mouth as he breathed, quickly making his manhood start to grow and press against the front of his pants. He pulled the fabric away and held it up allowing him to make out the two holes that legs would pass through along with the soaked gusset which had recently been pressed up against… suddenly everything clicked into place.
Ikuno fell over with a loud guffaw as Kal held up Perra's panties for a moment before looking down at the front of his now empty trousers and yelling, "Sonuvabitch!"
------
Kal, Ikuno, and Gerda rose up out of the mountain trail just a handful of paces from the edge of Aradelle's forest. Kal stepped away and bent over to catch his breath as soon as the rock holding his and Gerda's hands together receded. He glared over at Ikuno who was smirking at him, she seemed to be having no trouble at all with this new method of getting around. He honestly wasn't sure if he was ever going to grow accustomed to traveling through solid rock in such a manner.
As they stepped off the mountain trail Gerda had a new trick to show them, she was standing perpendicular to the ground on the rock wall next to the trail exit, waiting for goodbye hugs and kisses from the two travelers. Her feet remained buried inside the wall and allowed her to glide about on the rock surface. Since she made almost no noise moving this way, Kal guessed this was how she had snuck up behind him on his walk outside her cavern.
Ikuno thanked Gerda for bringing them and cutting hours off their journey and reminded her to go look for her sisters until they came back. Kal remembered to have Gerda ask her sisters if any of them knew of a way for humans to understand a golem's speech. The rock girl had mentioned two of them were older than herself, Kal was hoping one of them might know of a better method than the translation spell.
With their goodbyes said, Gerda swung down like her ankles were hooked on something. For a moment Kal and Ikuno thought she was going to run face first into the wall but she smoothly phased into it, much to their relief.
Hours later they came upon Aradelle's shack with all of their stuff untouched. They had left it days ago, expecting to be back as soon as they planted Eludora. After settling in, Ikuno turned around and gave Kal a searing kiss.
"Something to keep in mind before you make 'Dell a very happy woman, she's more than a woman, she's a part of the land and the food cycle and the environment around this area."
Kal gave her a funny look, "The ecosystem?"
Ikuno palmed her face, "Of course you would know that word," she muttered under her breath. "Yes, the ecosystem, so she can't have the same restrictions starting out that I did."
"My first daughter is a plant girl. I did some reading up," he said first in response to her muttering. "To be honest I didn't know about those restrictions until you brought them up when we first met 'Dell."
Ikuno was lost in thought for a moment, "Hmm, maybe those were placed by me, every other male that has claimed me in the past has had similar expectations."
"'Claimed'… I think I liked it better when you said Gerda and I 'bonded'."
Ikuno put her hands on either side of his head and gave Kal another toe-curling kiss, "You may have bonded Gerda and are about to bond Aradelle, but don't ever forget that you claimed me, and I loved every second of it." Smiling she let him go and stepped back, "'Dell is waiting for you."
"You aren't coming?" he asked.
"Not this time, I'll join you two sometime tomorrow, this is your and her night," she held up her hand when Kal started to speak, "No arguments like before, I'll see you tomorrow."
Kal nodded and stepped out of the little shack.
------
Kal cautiously approached Aradelle's clearing, he could hear her speaking with someone. To his surprise it was the butterfly girl again, only this time they were having a friendly conversation. As they spoke Aradelle was going over her petals with a brush held to her hand by a strip of leather that looked suspiciously like the same kind he used on Bonn.
Since there was no argument going on like last time, Kal made his presence known by walking normally through the underbrush the last few paces to the clearing edge. Aradelle and Bea both looked up and saw him, but their reactions were vastly different. Aradelle did her normal bouncing around inside her flower happily, even clapping her hands and momentarily disappearing in a shimmering cloud. In her excitement, she had forgotten she had a brush filled with fine powder from her petals strapped to one of her hands. Bea, on the other hand, was standing like a soldier at attention, her antennae quivering with… fear?... anticipation? Kal couldn't tell just by looking at her face.
"Kal! I'm so happy you're okay! Is Ikki coming?" she asked looking behind him and not seeing the large blue woman anywhere in the woods.
"Nope just you and me for the night, Ikuno was insistent so don't ask me to go back and get her," he said walking up beside her flower.
Aradelle glided over the side of her basin and wrapped her arms around his chest, "I was worried when Ikuno told me you had been stolen away."
Kal kissed the top of her head, "It all worked out for the best, Gerda is a friend now. No, more than a friend, we somehow bonded. I figure I should tell you now in hopes of avoiding the same trouble I had with Perra earlier."
She looked up at him, "How? I only know about all of this from what Ikki told me and by the sounds of it you and I were rushing things quite a bit."
"Ikuno thinks it's because I took her virginity."
Aradelle shrugged and stretched up for a kiss before giving him a quick squeeze and letting him go, "makes as much sense as anything I can think of."
Kal stared at her for a moment, "I'm so glad you are taking all of this so calmly, Ikuno was pissed at me because you weren't going to be the second woman I 'claimed' and Perra was pissed because I took another girl's virginity before hers."
Kal paused for a moment, "It's strange to think of her that way."
"What way?" Aradelle asked moving back into the center of her flower.
"She's been off limits since she moved into my house but in just a little while she will be of age and I've been assured she already has her sights set on me. It's strange thinking of her as this lusty young woman instead of something more like a little sister."
Aradelle giggled, "At least she has good taste. I'm going to finish grooming my petals, I'd just started when you got here so it may be a while. Bea was kind enough to bring me this brush to use, why don't you two chat for a bit until I'm done."
Kal nodded and a startled 'eep' came from the butterfly girl as he turned to look at her, the predatory attitude of their last encounter nowhere to be seen. Though he felt that things had been resolved before she left last time, her insistence on staying put, regardless of her seeming to be scared of him, was piquing his curiosity. Kal slowly walked around the butterfly girl as though a general inspecting a troop. She had her wings wrapped around her like a robe the same way as when they first met. As he stepped around to her front again he leaned in until he was almost nose to nose with the butterfly girl. The poor girl sucked in a breath as he got close, her pupils darted around unsure if she was supposed to stare back at him or if that was being rude.
"You have amazing eyes," Kal said.
Bea exhaled loudly, not having realized she was holding her breath, "Wh… What?"
"Exactly what I said; You have amazing eyes. They really are quite beautiful, especially up close."
"Um, I've never had someone call my eyes beautiful before."
An indignant "Hey!" came from Aradelle's flower.
"You said they were pretty, not beautiful," Bea called out to the alarune.
Aradelle conceded the point but still stuck her tongue out at the butterfly girl before going back to grooming.
"So, what brings you here?" Kal said motioning that she should open her robe.
Her wings slowly unfurled and after a few experimental waves stuck straight out from her back as she said, "Something 'Dell said last time made me feel bad because it was unfortunately true. I did treat her as little more than a food source and now I'm going to try to fix that. Many months ago, I saw a man using this brush on his horse, he hooked it on a tree limb when he was done and forgot about it when his group moved on. Its soft enough that I use it on my wings, I thought 'Dell might like it for her petals as well."
"Next time you need to bring a jar or pot to collect my nectar in and you can take care of my petals, this feels wonderful," said Aradelle facing away from them as she worked.
Smiling, Kal reached out and rubbed the tip of a petal between thumb and forefinger.
"Stop it Kal!" Aradelle said without turning around, "I know it's you, your hands are rougher than Bea's"
Kal chuckled and turned back to the butterfly girl. Stepping off to the side he looked closely at the intricate pattern on the inside of her wings "What's with the tree bark?" he asked. "I wanted to ask last time but got a lungful of dust before I had the chance."
Her face went red with embarrassment, "It's more for my smaller cousins, it helps them hide in the forest."
He walked back around to her front and held out his hand for hers, gulping she lifted her arm. Kal directed her to hold it out straight while he inspected where the chitinous covering bent and where it met her skin just above her elbow, "Is this a part of you or can you take it off?" he asked, tapping the hard coating. Without waiting for her to answer he knelt down then lifted her foot and placed it on his bent knee, so he could continue his examination.
Kal was getting even more curious about the girl. Her entire body was buzzing with either fear or anticipation, perhaps a mixture of both. She acted like she was too scared to move around him, yet the insides of her thighs were slick with arousal.
"It.. It's a part of me," Bea finally answered.
"So, if I do this," Kal ran his finger from behind her knee up to where the chitin ended mid-thigh, "it feels the same as this," Kal reached up to very bottom of her asscheek, only inches away from her sex, and ran his finger down her thigh to the same point collecting some moisture on the way. Glancing up he saw the butterfly girl staring down at him panting. She gasped then let out a slow shuddering breath as he brought the finger shining with her juices to his mouth and sucked it off.
"Now you've done it Kal," said Aradelle from behind him, he partly turned to see her leaning on the edge of her basin resting her head on her arms, the brush dangling from one finger by its leather strip.
"What exactly is that?" he asked.
"Now you're going to have to finish her off. If you'd stopped earlier, it would have been a good tease but sending her away like this would be cruel. Remember, no dick, that's mine today"
Bea whimpered making him turn back and study her face again, he still couldn't figure out the fear in her expression but the need in her voice was apparent.
Kal tapped on the brown-black chitin bodice, "Open up." There were tiny interlocking hooks running down the center along both sides holding it together, her two insect-like arms just below her human ones shifted each side of the bodice slightly to disengage the hooks then moved the halves down and over beside her hips like before.
He swiped two fingers through the wetness on her thighs as he put her foot back on the ground and stood up. Kal positioned himself just off to the side but close enough that her breast was nearly touching him and she could feel his breath on her shoulder and neck. He placed his hand on top of her head, careful not to touch her antennae and hair with the two fingers coated in her juices. He slowly dragged his hand down her face, pushing her head back just a little. As his fingers reached her mouth he slipped the two with her fluids inside, her tongue immediately started cleaning them as they slid in and out of her mouth.
"Remember how that felt when it was my cock in your mouth," he breathed in her ear, making the butterfly girl moan with desire. Kal undid his belt with one hand then took hers and pushed it down the front of his pants wrapping her small fingers around his swollen prick. Kal slid his fingers out of her mouth while she sucked furiously on them, plainly not wanting to let them go. He tilted her chin back further, exposing her neck, then moved his hand down until it came to rest over her throat.
"You made me this way, but today it's not for you," he said, running his tongue along the outside of her ear. "Don't move your hand," he said pulling his own hand out of his trousers and running it up one side of her back along her wing until he had a handful of hair tightly in his grip. Kal moved his hand down to one breast while bringing his mouth down to the other. His fingers harshly pinched and pulled on one nipple as he drew the other one into his mouth and ran his tongue lightly over it in almost a tickling manner. The intense contrast of the two feelings drew out a long breathy moan from the butterfly girl followed by a quick sob of desire and need. Kal ignored her rhythmic squeezing on the base of his cock since it didn't seem to be a conscious decision; looking down he saw her other hand was opening and closing the same way.
Kal moved his mouth up to her neck as his hand left her breast, traveling downward over her belly. When he passed her bellybutton a soft blue hand gently pulled his arm away, getting another quiet whimper from Bea. A moment later his hand was cupping Aradelle's sex as she completely coated his hand with nectar. Flipping his hand and coating the backside as well for good measure, she pressed her lips to his shoulder before she quietly returned to her flower.
Kal gave Aradelle a brief moment to situate herself before curling two nectar-soaked fingers and running the backs of them along each side of Bea's clit, at the same time gently grazing his teeth along the side of her neck. Bea's breath caught in her throat and her eyes stared up into the sky in an unfamiliar moment of panic and indecision; she had a feeling that something big, something important was about to happen but she didn't know what. As Kal rubbed two then three fingers around the entrance to her sex she closed her eyes and nodded her acceptance.
Kal eased two fingers into the woman as he began to suck on a spot on her neck near her collarbone just hard enough to draw her skin into his mouth. His fingers found the small rough spot inside her, but the angle was wrong for what Kal wanted to do. Lifting the unnaturally light butterfly girl slightly into the air it allowed him to tease the sensitive area with his fingers while massaging her clit with the heel of his hand. The movement made her let go of his cock, but Bea shook with excitement at the fact he was holding her in the air by her pussy.
The double stimulation, made worse as Kal added another finger that made her stretch deliciously, was far too much for the butterfly girl's over-sensitized body to take. In what seemed like only a few seconds her first orgasm rocked into her, finally moving on her own she wrapped her arms around his head, holding him tightly to her neck as he sucked harder. Bea screamed her release at the top of her lungs, loud enough to hurt Kal's ears but that didn't stop him from continuing his assault on her g-spot and clit, taking it as encouragement to go faster and increase the stimulation. Her second orgasm came just moments later, punctuated by another ear-piercing shriek and her pressing his mouth into her neck so hard he was sure he left teeth marks even though he never actually bit down. Bea's third orgasm came less than a minute later, by now her screams of pleasure were causing stabbing pains in his one ear.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop," begged Bea as tears ran down her face and her body shook with sobs.
Kal set her down and wrapped his arms around her, nearly forgetting that the woman had a large set of wings attached to her back, putting one arm across her shoulders and the other around her hip, "Why are you crying? Are you okay? Did I hur…"
"I'm fine, just shut up and hold me for a minute," said the shaking butterfly girl.
Kal looked over at Aradelle for some guidance only to find the alarune laying partly on one of her petals with a dopey smile and her hands between her legs masturbating furiously. She saw him looking at her and mouthed, 'that was insane!' before curling up into a ball with a quiet grunt as she climaxed.
Kal was beginning to feel left out. First Gerda this morning and now these two, all while he was still waiting for some alone time with 'Dell.
His eyes widened as he looked down feeling the same swirling magic between him and Bea as he did just before Gerda bonded with him. Instead of accepting it the way he did with the golem he let the moment pass and the magic dissipated. After Gerda, and now Bea, he was beginning to think that this whole 'bonding' and 'claiming' thing didn't quite work the way Ikuno thought it did.
Loud thumping coming from the direction of the shack signaled the approach of the oni he had just been thinking about.
Bea looked up at him with wide eyes and tried to break free of his grasp before Ikuno arrived but Kal just held her tight and said, "Stop it, you'll be fine." The butterfly girl relaxed, but not quite to the same extent as before.
Ikuno crashed into the clearing with a worried expression on her face, immediately calling out, "Is everyone okay! I heard screams all the way back to the road!"
Aradelle was the first to answer, bouncing up from her petal and gliding towards the oni, "Oh my goodness you missed it Ikki! It was amazing! I think I know why you like the whole 'no moving' thing once in a while! I don't know how many times I came before Bea did and then when she did it was so exciting! You were sooo right it is fun just to watch! I mean I've watched you get off plenty of times before, but I was always involved somehow. It was so wild to just sit back and take everything in. If what he did to Bea was anything like when he claimed you, I can't blame you one bit he was just so… powerful and in control, I was completely soaked just watching him!"
Aradelle's eyes suddenly went wide. In her excitement, she had forgotten that the two people she was talking about were standing only a few steps from her flower. She slowly turned to look back at Kal and Bea. With a squeak of embarrassment, she covered her face with her hands and her vines pulled her back to the middle of her flower before dropping down into the chamber below. Seconds later her petals folded up followed by the woody protective leaves. As Kal and Ikuno stared in wonder at each other, two of the leaves and petals opened up enough for a nectar soaked grooming brush to be ejected followed by a squeaky "Thanks, Bea!" before they closed up again.
Aradelle's excitement had let Ikuno know that no one was dead or dying but the alarune's uncharacteristic outburst had stopped her in her tracks. The oni looked back and forth between Kal and the alarune's closed flower, "What the hell just happened?" she asked Kal.
Kal sighed, "Quick version is: Bea was here with Aradelle when I arrived, Aradelle was grooming her petals and suggested Bea and I have a chat, some playful teasing turned into something a lot more exciting, and finally 'Dell went off the deep end in her excitement to tell you all about it. Sound about right?" he said looking down at Bea who just nodded into his chest. "One last thing, and I think this is kind of important, Bea and I almost bonded."
Bea looked up at him, "What?!"
"What?!" asked Ikuno.
"What?!" came a high-pitched voice from inside the pod. One of the petals opened up just a bit to let Aradelle's voice out, "Like hell! That was no 'bonding' that was 'claiming', by the time you got done with her she was completely and totally your woman and loved every second of it!"
A look passed between Ikuno and Kal with how closely Aradelle's comments mimicked Ikuno's own from earlier.
Bea was looking up at him still, "you said 'almost bonded' did you not want me?"
Kal looked down, "It wasn't that, I didn't want to accept before you knew what you were getting into."
"Thanks, I think," she said putting her head against his chest again.
Ikuno had stepped up beside them but dropped to one knee before she spoke "Bea, I have a few questions for you."
The butterfly girl sighed and started to pull away from Kal, only to have Ikuno's large blue hand push her back into him.
"If that's where you're the most comfortable then stay there but I need some honest answers," said the oni.
Bea nodded.
"What do you find most attractive about Kal?"
"His strength, he shook off my dust put me on my knees and made me suck him then punched through a tree… then there was earlier," the butterfly girl shivered at the pleasant memory, "'Dell was right, the way he took control of me, I've never felt so 'owned' before. It was exciting and terrifying all at once."
Ikuno smiled, "I can understand that well enough, what do you think would make you want to have a bond with him?"
"I've had many men over the years but always avoided humans during mating season since none of them felt 'good enough', mostly merchants or farmers, good for a bit of fun but none that I saw as a mate. I came back to ask Kal if he would sire children with me like he did for 'Dell."
"There it is again, I can feel the bond trying to form," Kal told them. "Are you sure you want this?" he asked Bea, "It's possible I may be your only option as a mate for a long time, then again it seems like we are still trying to figure this whole thing out." A woody creak behind him let him know the alarune had come out of hiding. "What do you two think?" he asked Aradelle and Ikuno.
Before they could answer the binding magic vanished, instantly disappearing unlike before when it slowly dissipated. Bea pushed herself out of his embrace, raising her chin in defiance as her bodice clicked back together.
"I'll not allow myself to be passively 'bound' to any man, if you want me, catch me, claim me, prove you are worthy to sire my children," she scoffed before taking a couple running steps in the opposite direction and launching herself into the air.
Kal stood there for a moment dumbfounded before looking over at Ikuno.
The oni shrugged but was trying to hold back a smile, "Looks like you misread her in a big way, that was a hell of a challenge. You know how I feel, the more the merrier."
To be honest, he already expected an answer like that from her, Kal turned to look at Aradelle who was stretched out on one of her petals.
"Guess I can't claim dibs on your dick after she said something like that, the bitch." Despite her words he could tell she was enjoying this turn of events. "If you want her, go get her. I'm okay with being fourth. If you could bring her back here and do it, it would be amazing, I wanna watch again."
Bea had flown over the treetops then turned and began flitting back and forth to stay aloft as she waited to see what Kal's reaction would be. The trees she was flying above made a natural lane that led to a small hill. If he decided to give chase she planned on eventually leading him that hill where he might actually get a chance to catch her.
Kal had put a lot of effort over winter learning to use his runes to his best advantage. Ikuno's words on how magic should augment his natural abilities instead of replacing them had struck a chord in the young runesmith, especially after the first time he used his strength rune to launch himself into the air and came crashing down in the middle of a tree. Since then he had worked hard to hone those abilities, even more so since he created the haste rune. He quickly learned using that kind of speed effectively took planning, grabbing a tree limb or vaulting off a fence at those speeds required reaction times he had not developed yet, as well as improvisation, for when the planning went wrong. While he hadn't honed his skills to a razor's edge in the few months, he'd worked on them; by his estimation he had become quite good.
After his lesson in humility earlier, Kal choked back the desire for some youthful boasting. However, this would be the first time he put these particular skills to a test and he was looking forward to showing them off for Ikuno and Aradelle. He did allow himself a fiendish smile as Strength, Stamina, and Haste runes shined and spun up; he looked at each of the women in turn and said, "Be back in a few," before sprinting off towards the edge of the clearing.
"Oh, this ought to be good," said Ikuno and started making her way after Kal.
"I want to see too," mumbled Aradelle. Smiling she covered one eye with her hand and closed the other, a moment later a small bulge could be seen running down her leg, through the vine and into her body where it was transferred to another vine that stretched off underground in Kal's direction.
She arrived just as Kal finished studying the terrain and took off after the butterfly, in the same moment one of Aradelle's vines burrowed up out of the ground with a strangely familiar iridescent blue orb in the middle of it that quickly turned to see what Kal was doing.
"I didn't know you could do that," said Ikuno looking startled.
Aradelle's voice came from back in the center of the clearing, "I've never needed to do this when you were around!"
Ikuno shook her head and looked out towards Kal and Bea.
Bea wondered if she had made a mistake when she saw Kal's arm light up and he was suddenly standing at the edge of the clearing. When she saw him run in her direction again, her eyes widened in panic as she turned and pumped her wings, trying to get away.
Kal ran straight at the trunk of a tree just in front of the butterfly. With his route upward already picked out, he pushed off the ground, the strength rune lifting him up to the lower boughs. His feet and hands touched branches that sped by him, adjusting his course to a larger branch about two-thirds of the way up. He wrapped his hand around his target and flipped around so his boots came to rest in the crook of the branch he'd grabbed. Picking his next destination across the way, he jumped towards the fleeing butterfly girl.
Bea put her head down into a quick dive as Kal went sailing just in front of her. As she was about to pull up he came flying back at her, forcing her to reverse direction, losing speed and altitude as she flew back the way she came. She angled her wings downward in an attempt to pick up enough speed to stay in the air but had to pull up hard as the green from his cloak flashed in front of her again.
Kal's feet touched down on another tree trunk. Grabbing a large branch just below him he flung himself at the ground, his boots only touching the trunk a couple times as he ran down the trunk before streaking across the forest floor. Skidding to a halt beneath the foundering butterfly girl he crouched and leapt skyward.
Struggling to stay aloft from losing so much speed Bea looked about trying to find him. She shrieked as a hand on her ankle yanked her downward, an arm with glowing runes wrapped around her neck as Kal whispered in her ear, "You're mine."
This insane human was going to kill them both if they fell from this height! Her wings pounded the air, but it was no use, he was far too heavy to keep them both airborne. The natural drag from her wings positioned Bea on top of the suicidal human as they plummeted to the ground.
Kal focused on the strength and haste runes pouring magic into their outer rings, making them shine nearly white. He then pushed the protection from the strength rune into Bea and waited for the impact.
They hit the ground with a loud thump, scattering leaf litter in all directions and knocking the wind out of them but leaving them both unharmed. Bea tried to sit up but found that she was being stopped by arms wrapped around her hips and shoulders.
"You are insane! You could have killed us doing that!" she yelled in his face.
"Hush," said Kal smiling, his hand came to the back of her head and pushed her lips into his. As his tongue pressed into her mouth Bea realized that she wasn't hurting anywhere from the crash. Kal didn't seem to be in any distress either judging by the way his hands were roaming around her body. What kind of a monster was this man to take that kind of drop without injury and manage to protect her from being hurt as well? This latest display of power sent shockwaves straight to Bea's pussy and she began kissing him back with abandon. With her lips still on his she lifted herself up and her bodice came apart with a click before dropping back down and rubbing her sex against the bulge in Kal's pants.
Kal had somehow not noticed this was their first kiss and it had been a bit of a shock to have her thin and nimble tongue start darting about in his mouth. He had been in a lust haze when he first saw it and those memories from before he regained control were still foggy, and when he face fucked her afterwards he had hardly been in a mood to care if she used her tongue or not.
Kal pulled back and saw that Bea was flushed and panting, "Those two asked for a show. Ready to give them one?" he asked smiling.
Bea groaned, "Only if you promise this is going inside me," she said grinding her sex into his crotch.
Kal put a finger to her lips, "It's going in there," he ran his finger all the way down her body, she lifted up a bit to give him access, "In there," he said dipping his finger into her wet and slippery sex then continued back to her rear entrance. Bea gasped as his finger slid around her back door then cautiously poked inside, "And in here," said Kal working just the tip in and out.
Bea rocked back a bit to get him a bit deeper, "You'll be my first man back there," she said breathing heavy.
"But not your first experience, I'm betting."
She shook her head, "More please," she panted. Kal slid another finger into her dripping sex and pushed it into her bottom next to the first. "Just toys," she said, "Lust crazy men have bad aim, having something in there only leaves one target."
Kal reluctantly pulled his fingers out of her ass and sat up, earning a disappointed groan from the butterfly girl. With a little help from his strength rune, he stood up while lifting her up and holding her in the air. With an indignant shriek from Bea, Kal then threw her over his shoulder and gave her a swat on her upturned butt, getting buffeted in the back of the head by one of her wings in return. He tried a new tactic and instead sank two fingers into her pussy and sawed them in and out as he walked back to the clearing. The butterfly's wings vibrated, and she was nearly purring with pleasure the whole trip.
------
Ikuno had watched with no small amount of admiration for the man. His movements were nothing new to her but the fact that he had practiced enough to execute them as well as he did was certainly impressive and admittedly watching him run down the trunk of the last tree to get directly beneath the butterfly girl before she recovered was a remarkable feat. At first, she was worried when they came tumbling to the ground, however, she had trained with Kal enough to know that he wouldn't do something that looked suicidal without a plan. Sure enough, Bea popped up a second later and yelled at him, seemingly perfectly fine; her worries evaporated when he lifted the butterfly girl and stood up.
Aradelle was point blank astonished. Having never been out of her grove she knew nothing of the shadow martial arts that Ikuno had been reminded of. For her, seeing Kal move in such a manner was stunning. Being less familiar with Kal's runes than Ikuno she was also a lot more worried when they hit the ground, not being truly satisfied he was okay until he stood up, which seemed to take forever.
Ikuno smiled and walked back towards Aradelle when she saw Kal start coming back with Bea over his shoulder. As she arrived, the alarune was lowering her hand, her iridescent blue eye back in it's proper place.
"Neat trick, weird but neat," said Ikuno as they waited for Kal and Bea to arrive.
"It helps me keep an eye on things out beyond my clearing."
Ikuno snorted and covered her mouth trying not to laugh.
"That wasn't what I meant Ikki! Wait… no… I did mean that. Just not the way I… You know what I meant!" Aradelle huffed crossing her arms.
"Meant what?" asked Kal as he walked up still carrying Bea. The butterfly girl's legs were shaking as his fingers continued to slide in and out of her sex.
"Aradelle was just showing me how she watched you catch Bea and keeps an eye on things around the clearing," said Ikuno suppressing a laugh.
"Ikki!" cried an indignant Aradelle.
Kal raised an eyebrow at the alarune, he was pretty sure there was something he had missed, "How? I wouldn't think you would be able to see much from here."
"I'll tell you about it later, wasn't there something you two were doing?" Aradelle said looking over at Kal and Bea. She and Ikuno seemed to be paying particular attention to Kal's still moving fingers.
Bea was a quivering mess and wondering if they were ever going to shut the hell up. Kal's fingers hadn't stopped the entire time and she was biting her knuckle to keep from moaning constantly. As he set her down she immediately sank to her knees in front of him.
Kal looked down at her and began undoing his belt, "Last chance to run away, once I get these off you're mine," he said.
She answered him by looking into his eyes and smiling, then opening her mouth.
