A week of fending off thieves and raiders, the caravan safely arrived at a town by nightfall. The people in the caravan had time to stock up in supplies and other things they need. While they are in a town, some of the caravan people, especially the women, would like to take the opportunity of taking a warm bath at the public bathing house.

Sven raised an eyebrow at Lina. "You know that it is a public bathing house. It will be crowded, especially with women of the caravan. And I know you do not want to mingle with them."

"I'll stay in a corner. They won't dare approach me when I give them the evil eye."

"And what if the pool is full of people? What then? You cannot have the pleasant bath you wish."

Lina sighed. "You're right." she pouted. "I really want a bath. A decent bath. What other suggestions can you give me, oh wise, Sven? Don't you dare tell me bathing in the river. The water is polluted with the town folk's wastes."

"Tis why they build a public bathing house." there is a glint in his eyes. "I know of another place you can have the bath you want."

"Where?"

"The inn. You will have the privacy and peace as long as you like."

"I just want a bath, not a room to rent just to have the bath I want. And the inn is more expensive than the public bathing house."

"Then what place will you choose to have your bath? There are only two choices."

Lina raised her eyebrow. "Why, Sven. Do I hear a challenge in your tone? What if I take the inn, will you pay for it?"

"Aye." Sven looked at her with expectation and wearing a smug expression.

Lina knew immediately what he wants in return and looked at him in a playful matter. But then... "Ah, Sven. It would be fun but we can't."

Sven's brows furrowed. "Why?"

"If we did, in nine months you'll be a dad."

"Ahh..." Sven smiled mischievously. "But there are many ways to have 'fun'. I have wanted to tell you to use your sassy mouth and clever tongue."

Lina raised her eyebrows. "Never thought of that." then she smiled mischievously. "Come to think of it, we always 'unite our bodies' when we have sex."

"Aye, we did. I also remember that I was the one doing the licking and kissing."

Lina smiled in remembrance. "Oh, yeah. Our first night. It was so good, Sven."

"And it will be better when we get a room and order our bath. Right now."

Lina chuckled. "Oh, Sven. Last week, you were protesting that we must not do it."

Sven smiled. "It is your fault for seducing me. And I'm returning the favor. So milady, shall we find ourselves a room?"

"Sure. Lead the way."

Sven and Lina went to the caravan master to tell him that they are sleeping at the inn. The caravan master has an idea of what the two are up to but never minded and gave them permission to be excepted from guard duty tonight. Sven brought his armor and sword with him before the duo went to the inn.

In their room and with their bath ready, Sven started to kiss Lina passionately and she returned the favor. Kissing, touching, until they are without clothes.

Lina placed gentle fingers on Sven's lips to stop him from kissing her. "I insist we have our bath first, Sven."

Sven kissed her fingers before answering. "Very well."

So they did bath. And washed each other's bodies that leads to caressing and fondling. They stopped when they think they are already clean. After drying themselves, they went to bed and continued the delicious onslaught. They kissed and touched, then Lina granted Sven's request. Sven loved watching her and sometimes he would give her advices on what to do, on which she complied. She would use her hands, lick, swallow him whole and move her mouth in an up and down motion before using her tongue again.

When it was almost too much to bear, Sven commanded Lina to move her lower body towards him. Lina complied while her mouth is full of him. Now positioned properly, Sven spreads Lina's womanhood with his thumbs and started to use his lips and tongue. They pleasured each other until they found their climax.

The duo is now lying on bed, Lina uses Sven's shoulder as her pillow.

Lina sighed with pleasure before looking at Sven. "So, how's my performance? Did you enjoy it?"

Sven smiled at her. "Aye, I did. I'm also surprisingly disturbed and pleased at the same time when you decided to swallow my seed."

Lina chuckled. "I just want to know how you taste."

"And?"

"And you're salty."

Sven chuckled. "Would you also like to know how you taste?"

"Salty too, right?"

"Nay, your nectar is sweet."

"Don't flatter me. The truth, Sven."

"Tis the truth. You are sweet." he raised her chin with his finger. "Sweet just the way you are." then kissed her passionately.

They would go for another round if there were no shouting happening outside. The distraction broke the spell around them.

"Grr. What now?" asked an annoyed Lina, watching Sven as he went to look out the window.

"Looks like trouble." Sven replied as he went to the wash bowl. "We better see what the trouble is."

After doing a quick cleaning on themselves and dressed for combat, the duo went to the place where the commotion is going on.

Arriving on the scene, the duo are surprised of what they see. Three men are trying to surround a ram of white wool and black skin. This ram however, has glowing yellow eyes. And he is happily bleating as he trampled a garden with its hooves and head-butting anyone who tries to capture him.

"What is the meaning of this?" asked Sven to a nearby stranger.

"They're trying to catch that demon." answered the stranger.

Lina raised an eyebrow. "Demon? It's an animal."

The person shook his head. "No, miss. That's a demon. Have you heard about the beasts of Underwool?" when the duo shakes their head, the person explained. "The beasts of Underwool are terrible bringers of death and destruction, demons of shadow afflicted by a black wizard's curse that has ensured they are forever cute and fluffy."

Sven looked at the ram again. "And what is that demon-ram doing here?"

The stranger shrugged his shoulder. "Three years ago, some folks captured it and trained it to act like a courier. Now that the owners are dead and that demon accidentally escaped its pen, it started to attack things and people. Just like that. " he added as the ram smashes a barrel with a head-butt.

When the ram continued to avoid capture and bleat like it is taunting the men, Sven could not help but chuckle. "What an interesting ram."

Lina smiled. "I like his personality... Sven, what are you going to do?" she asked when Sven walked towards the ram.

"I will try to make friends."

When the ram spotted Sven coming, he stopped running and bleating. Then he lowered his head, scratched his front hoof on the ground, and charged.

"Oof!" Sven got hit on his legs when the ram charged at him but remained standing. The ram however, bleats painfully as he shakes his head.

Lina laughed as she went towards Sven. The ram heard and saw her coming, so he attacked her.

"Ow! That hurts!" said Lina when Sven grabbed the ram by the wooly nape. "Be thankful that I like you. If not, you'll be lamb chops." to prove her point, she lets fire appear at her hands. The ram just narrowed his glowing eyes and bleats angrily as he starts to squirm away from Sven's hold. The actions of the ram made Lina laugh.

Sven chuckled. "Be still. We will not hurt you. We just want to be friends with you."

The ram stopped squirming and bleating, and looked at the duo. Thinking the ram is pacified, Sven gently puts down the ram. The ram had other plans though. He head-butts Sven's leg again and hopped away while bleating happily.

Lina laughed at Sven as he captured the ram again. She approached the ram. "My, you're a feisty and naughty one. No wonder we like you." she said and scratched its wooly head with gentle fingers.

Sven chuckled when the ram just looked at Lina with narrow eyes. He looked at the gathered crowd and found the stranger he was talking with. "I have decided to take this ram with me but I will also take the courier bag."

After Sven spoke, the demon-ram was like 'Bah?'.

"Sounds like a good deal." said the stranger.

Someone in the crowd came forward. "Wait! I'm the heir of the previous owners you're talking about. Why would I give the courier bag to you? Those things are so expensive. If you want it, buy it."

"Is that so?" said Sven. "How much is the bag?"

"Ten thousand gold."

Lina frowned. "That's extortion!"

Sven shakes his head. "That is too much. Can you lower the price? How about... five hundred gold?"

The heir also shakes his head. "Sorry, no can do. No ten thousand, no bag."

Sven sighed. "I cannot afford it." he looked at the ram. "Ah, tis a shame me and Lina cannot bring you with us." and he gently puts down the ram on the ground. "We leave now, Lina."

Lina smiled playfully at the ram and patted the wooly head. "Bye, naughty ram." and Lina joined Sven. As they were walking away, Lina smiled mischievously at Sven. "Well played, Sven."

"Not yet." said Sven.

Thirty seconds later, some people from the crowd came to them.

"Wait!"

"Get the ram, please!"

"The demon's attacking again!"

"We made him give you the courier bag! Just get the demon out of here!"

Back at the room in the inn, Sven and Lina were kissing in their bed when the ram bleated.

Lina stopped the kiss to look at the ram lying on a rug near the fireplace. "Shush, Ramnaught. Complain and you'll be sent to the stables. You don't like that, do you?"

The ram bleats again, stood, turn his back on the duo, and lied down again. Sven and Lina chuckled before they kissed again. And they are getting passionate, making Ramnaught of the Underwool bury his head under the rug to stop hearing the noises they make.
