Alright, there isn't much left to go in this story, but this a chapter that has been built up to for quite a while. But that means there is explicit sexual content in this chapter. That means it is mostly a lemon, and if that isn't for you, then you can probably skip this one, pick up the next chapter, and you'll be just fine. If you are okay with that, then read on.

The title, somewhat on the nose perhaps, is a track by a scandanavian outfit called Beast in Black off their most recent album, Dark Connection. It's a sort of synthy and techy type of metal truck. Something different, but I just felt it fit here, and I don't want to go into depth as to why, but I do suggest giving it a listen because it is cool. In any case, I hope you enjoy the song and this chapter.

Once Upon a Time in Hyboria

Chapter 18: Moonlight Rendezvous

Standing up, Red Sonja stretched out her arms before picking up her freshly cleaned sword, running her fingers over the gleaming edge that reflected the dancing light of the burning campfire. Looking across that fire, she saw Joshua Walker busying himself with cleaning his own armaments, whistling idly as he worked. Following their escape, they had found a small secluded spot off the beaten path and elected to make camp early, allowing Sonja to get some much needed rest until night fell, when the Hyrkanian woke to found that the Bounty Hunter had started small fire before he lowered his hat over his eyes and rested.

So the Hyrkanian, feeling better following her ordeal, returned to her roots, hunting for prey in the woods and returning with some game to cook over that fire. The remains of that meal were disposed of well away from the camp and the pair had tended to their weapons, the events of the day were never broached, and instead the main focus was on what lay ahead.

Yet as she cast a last glance at the Bounty Hunter, Sonja could not deny the pleasant warmth that filled her when she was reminded of his presence. For some time, she had pondered how to handle the closeness she wanted to share with this man, a man who had earned the right to lay with her, before a long, lonely night in a cold stone cell. So as strode towards their horses to return her sword to its sheath, the Hyrkanian could feel the slight spring in her step, the quickening of her heartbeat and shallowness of her breath as her body responded to the prospect of her quenching the heat that was beginning to well up between her legs, only growing with each step she took.

Sliding the sword into its leather case, and shivering at the debauched parallel action, Sonja looked over her shoulder and pondered how to proceed. She wanted the man, wanted to have him in the most intimate way and had come to realize she could wait no longer, not after the close call of the night before, and not when he was soon to leave her. This might be her last chance to fulfill her womanly desires and she had to ensure she got what she wanted. But for all her skills with a blade, Sonja was inexperienced at the art of seduction, and as she thought of the tales recounted to her by various companions and whores, the Hyrkanian could not suppress a blush while she bit her lip, could she really do any of those things?

With a heaving sigh, Sonja leaned forward onto her horse, looking down at the ground and seeing the swell of her own breasts. That thought spurred a realization within the Hyrkanian, she had always possessed a body lusted after by men and women, and perhaps that would be all she needed to convince Walker to lay with her, let him see the body he could have?

Settling back down before the fire, Walker leaned back against the fallen tree over which he had laid his duster and gunbelt and relaxed. The Bounty Hunter closed his eyes and lowered his hat, willing to just listen to the crackle of the fire so he had something to focus on other than the woman he had rescued. But no matter what, his mind drifted back to the gorgeous, scantily clad redhead, a woman he had come to respect and enjoyed being graced with her presence, so much so that he did not wish to depart her side.

Yet that respect for her meant he did not wish to proposition her, and found it the antithesis of manhood to force himself upon an unwilling woman, for he did not wish to shatter the special relation the two shared. But sitting there, his mind conjured images of her fiery mane and womanly curves, left exposed by the diminutive 'bikini' she wore, and wondered what it might feel like to have her body in his hands, for her beauty surpassed that of any woman he had seen, including the stunning beauties that populated this land.

The sound of footsteps got Walker out of his own head, and he lifted his head to see the redhead's tan riding boots beside him, the woman standing over him. Setting his hat back on his head, Joshua's eyes drank in Sonja's beauty in its totality. Working its way up her long, shapely legs, dusky skin concealing sculpted muscle of her thighs with only the small triangular bit of scale like material concealing her womanhood. Above that was a taut and trim stomach, rippling with the muscle the She-Devil made constant use of. On either side were her arms, with hands on hips, every bit as muscular as her legs, yet not so bulky as to make her appear anything but the sleek, lithe form of an incredibly athletic woman. Then there were her voluptuous hips that tapered along a gentle curve into a trim waist. As his eyes went further up, Walker saw the second half of Sonja's two-piece ensemble, two cups of the same scaled material that snuggly covered her breasts, still showing off a significant amount of her impressive cleavage, as nothing could fully conceal such magnificent breasts. But that was not all the woman had, her shoulders were muscled without being bulky, her neck was long and narrow, yet it was her face that possessed the most convincing display of her beauty. It was finely shaped, with high, elegant cheekbones, a thin, cute nose, full lips, striking green eyes, and an astounding mane of flowing red hair that flowed down her back.

And it was her face where Walker's eyes stayed, there was something in her eyes, a softness, a flicker, that was clear to the Gunslinger, just as the clear as the way she bit her lip. "Joshua Walker," she began, her voice lacking the steel it often had, tinged as it was with a hint of husk that was incredibly alluring. "I feel we must speak of today's events."

Walker shrugged casually, "Ain't got nuthin' much to say on it, Calamity Dame."

"I do not know of your land," returned the Hyrkanian, tilting her head, "But in this one, it is not normal for one to face the odds you did to rescue another."

That drew a short chuckle from the Bounty Hunter. "There's no 'normal' in life Sonja," he answered, bobbing his head, "There's just life. And I've always preferred to just get on with it."

"A worthy sentiment," agreed Sonja, "And so I shall. Joshua Walker, I need you to help me," she said, beginning to remove one of her leather gloves, and then the other. "The pleasures of the flesh have never been mine to enjoy," she whispered, her cheeks showing a faint blush as she toed off her boots and kicked them away. "Yet after my brush with death on this day, I have come to a realization," she began, reaching back and undoing the clasp on her bikini top, the fabric falling away to reveal her bare breasts. "I wish to enjoy all that life has to offer, I wish to enjoy a man whom I desire" declared the Hyrkanian before unbuckling the bikini bottom and tossing it away, revealing the moist lips of her womanhood, a small tuft of groomed red hair perched above it, "Will you help me?"

Walker could only stare in awe, first at her pussy, glistening in her wetness, her lower lips engorged with arousal, were pressed together, pink, and inviting. Never before had Walker met a woman who groomed herself as Sonja did, but it was intriguing, and he wanted to run his hand over her luscious mound. But that was not the mound he was most interested in, for that honor went to the pair protruding proudly from her chest, full and womanly, with a pair of pink nipples, each pointed and erect, topping them. Yet despite their ample size, they did not sag in the slightest, defying gravity with their very existence, and Walker's jaw dropped slightly at the sight of them, his mouth almost watering. "I could not deny you. Would you deny me, Joshua Walker?" asked Sonja, her hands back on her hips as she bared herself to him.

"No man could deny you, Sonja," whispered Walker, feeling his throat dry and cock stiffen in his trousers.

The Hyrkanian extended her hand, "Then do not," she replied before Walker took it and was hauled up to his feet, removing his own gloves so he could run his hands along her bare skin. He could feel her breath hitch as he traced the woman's spine with his finger, his other hand coming up to fondle a breast. When his fingers pressed down on the Hyrkanian's pliant flesh, hot breath from Sonja's moan brushing against his skin as her head drooped back in pleasure. While Walker was enamored with the fullness and firmness of the breast on his hand, Sonja's hands were fumbling with the buttons on his shirt, but the cool night air soon chilled his skin, replaced by the warmth of her hands until Walker had to reluctantly let go of the woman so she could work his shirt off his shoulders.

With his breath quickening and heart beating faster, more and more blood rushing below the belt, Walker was pulled back in by the remarkably strong woman until he felt her enormous breasts pressed flat against his skin and he was drawn into a deep, smoldering kiss with Sonja. As their lips mingled and tongues twisted together, both partners ran their hands over the body of the other, inevitably finding their way lower until Walker had a handful of backside while feeling Sonja's hands come around to the buckle of his belt. So enrapt in her mouth and the feeling of her body against his, that Walker didn't even realize his pants were pooled around his ankles until he felt the warmth of Sonja's skin pressed against the bulbous head of his cock.

Shocked by this development and breaking the kiss, Joshua looked down at Sonja, the redhead biting her lip in an effort to remain stoic even as an errant strand of hair fell across her face. "I see you have much to be proud of Joshua Walker," purred the Hyrkanian, a hand lightly stroking his length as the other grabbed his hand. Sonja stepped back, steering them to the bedroll he had laid down before she lowered herself, sitting down on the waterproof canvas while pulling Walker down with her until he was laying atop the Swordswoman. "Show me how well you can use it," she whispered in his ear.

Despite his throbbing erection and the lust fueled haze clouding his brain, something in the back of his mind reminded Walker that this was Sonja's first time, and he wanted to make it one she would enjoy and remember, long after they parted ways. Pressing his lips to hers in another hot kiss, Walker's hand trailed down her flank, down the curve of her waist and to her hip while his mouth went down her neck until he wound up where he wanted to be, right between her voluptuous mounds, the soft, pliant flesh as his lips kissed and suckled on her tits. Sonja writhed and keened as Walker remained focused on tasting the female flesh before him, savoring every inch of pale skin before he sucked on the pebbled pink nipples that capped each breast, alternating between them as the redhead's moans pitched higher and higher every time he took one into his mouth. "Oh goddess… this is divine," she cooed, arching her back up to present her tits to an eager Joshua. But even he couldn't remain there forever, his lips trailed down to her stomach, kissing and licking her hardened abs, causing them to clench before he went back to her tits. "Goddess… Joshua, I feel… feel… just don't stop," she breathed, her words husky.

While his face was still buried in the welcoming heat of her bosom, Walker's hand caressed Sonja's skin, trailing over the front of her upper thigh until he felt the warmth radiating off her sex. Like a moth, his hand was drawn to her slick lower lips, fingers pressing against her soft flesh, worming their way inside her moist tunnel. A sultry, needy moan emanated from the redhead as her fingers wormed through Joshua's hair and down his bare back while his worked over her breast and plunged deeper into her pussy as it clenched tight. "Wa… Walker…" cooed Sonja, "Tease me no further. Claim my flesh, show me what pleasures you can offer."

With his own erection throbbing with need, Walker shifted again, settling between Sonja's spread legs and letting his cock lay across the moist lips of the redhead's cunt. The Gunfighter took in her face, the shine in her green eyes as her mouth hung open slightly, lips curled despite the strain in her jaw as she tried to stay stoic. Heart racing, Walker was unable to wait any further and lined himself up with her waiting snatch before he slowly pressed his way in, feeling the velvety walls of her tunnel squeeze the head of his cock. The Hyrkanian groaned and shuddered as Walker pushed deeper inside her, and he took in her face as it slowly came undone. Her lips curled up as her mouth opened, and he felt her hot breath on his face like heat permeating his cock as more of it became coated in her juices. Her abdominals rippled as Walker fully sheathed himself inside her, feeling her tight box squeeze his manhood, a sensation as thrilling as feeling her beautiful breasts in his hands.

But he removed one hand from her tits, grabbing Sonja's flailing hand and feeling her iron grip on his hand as well as his cock as he began rolling his hips, slowly at first, while watching her face for the emotions that twisted her beautiful features. Her tender inner walls caressed him with each stroke, the warmth of her smoldering velvet smooth cunt enveloping his manhood, squeezing it like it didn't want to let it go. Sonja's face showed the effect of their coupling, syes screwed shut as her hair lay splayed out beneath her, mouth still hanging open.

"Scathach's tits!" rasped Sonja as their flesh rubbed together, "It's good, so good, keep going." Walker obliged, maintaining his tender pace as his long strokes filled her pussy, his own grunts adding to her unfettered pleasure filled moans. Plunging deep into her again, Walker felt her cunt squeeze tighter as her back arched again, muscles clenching as a throaty scream burst into the night, "Goddess yes!" she cried with her eyes wide open and face twisted in ecstasy. A surge of her arousal gushed through her cunt as Walker kept fucking her, "Don't stop, keep going! Harder! Faster! I can take it!" she cried, euphoric desperation permeating every word as she thrashed beneath Walker.

Bringing his other hand down from her tits, Walker placed it under her raised back, guiding her hips to roll into his so that her cunt came up to meet his thrusting cock on each downstroke, filling her more with each deep plunge. Sonja enthusiastically screamed her approval at Walker meeting her request as her body chased her second climax. Her tits heaved as their hips came together, the mounds of flesh holding their shape as they bounced upon her muscled chest, and her red hair lay splayed out beneath her, framing her elegant face and contrasting with her pale skin to make Sonja a striking vision of beauty. Her eyes rolled back and Sonja kept doggedly rolling her hips up into Joshua's thrusts until he felt her hand and cunt clench simultaneously, and this time there was no way he could not join her in ecstasy.

His own balls churned and cock twitched before he felt a spurt of heat and saw that Sonja's arousal and squirted from her cunt and coated his skin right before he joined her. "Join me Walker, fill me with your passion!" crowed the redhead, legs trembling on either side of Walker. With a mere grunt, Joshua answered her pleas, his cock bursting inside the depths of Sonja's cunt, sending a load of semen deep inside the waiting folds of the She-Devil.

Their eyes met as they remained intimately joined, their breathing beginning to slow as they soaked in the afterglow of the deed, their heat and sweat mingling together on their skin as their fluids mixed inside Sonja's folds. It was only a minute, but it felt like an hour as Walker and Sonja relished the moment, and it was unlike any other post coitial bliss Walker had. As he stared into the Hyrkanian's eyes, he felt like he had just had a special moment with a special woman. Slipping out of the comforting confines of Sonja's snatch, Walker rolled off the Hyrkanian, laying down on the bedroll beside her, sucking down air as he turned to meet the redhead's eyes. "So… Calamity Dame…" began Walker between deep breaths, "I take it… you liked that?"

It was a boost to the ego that Red Sonja was still recovering from their lovemaking despite the warrior woman's impressive stamina. When she did roll onto her side to meet Walker's gaze, her green eyes positively sparkled in the night and an arm coming down to stroke his chest. "It was… not as I expected," she replied, "I have heard words from worldly women who speak of what it is like to have a man, and they did not do the act justice. My blood sings and heart swells with a thrill not unlike battle. And I must say… based on what I have heard, your gods have blessed you," she whispered as her fingers caressed his flaccid manhood.

"That's mighty kind of ya Sonja," drawled Walker as his eyes were drawn to the woman's eye watering breasts. "Now I… I was gonnna say that if you want another go then…."

"Yes," answered the woman, the single word hot, breathy, and full of need as it escaped her lips. "For years I have been teased by words, sights, and sounds, but tonight I will experience every scrap of passion you have to offer me, Joshua Walker," she said with a gleam in her eyes. Gone was her stoic expression, her face now the visage of arousal and lust. Her lips curled as licked them, "And I will show you how a Hyborian woman pleases a man who can satisfy her."

Before Walker could ask what she meant, Sonja had slid down the length of his body, her lips and tongue tracing the lines of his abs. Each move was tentative and almost hesitant, but all it took was for Joshua to run his hand through Sonja's flaming read hair to renew the woman's enthusiasm. The Bounty Hunter was unable to suppress a groan when he felt the Hyrkanian's lips press against his soft manhood, Sonja kissing his length. He had never had a woman do this before, and while he was soaking in the intimate feeling, Sonja made it even more so as he felt a flat, moist warmth run along the length of his cock. Head snapping up, Walker's eyes went wide as he saw the She-Devil's tongue pressed to his quickly hardening manhood.

"Holy god," he grunted, feeling his cock twitch under the pressure from her tongue as she ran it along every inch of his length. "Keep going Calamity Dame, that feels great," Joshua encouraged, feeling his own pulse quicken. The She-Devil smiled at him with desire, yet almost embarrassed as she wrapped a hand gently around his member and lifted him up, guiding the tip into her waiting mouth. Another groan escaped the back of Walker's throat as his cockhead was enveloped by Sonja's mouth. Just like her cunt, it was warm and moist, and her tongue circled his prick as she slowly worked more and more of him past her wide-open lips.

Walker could only watch slack jawed as Sonja bobbed her head up and down, slowly pressing further down his length, one hand wrapped around the base of his cock while the other cupped his swelling sack. Her lips formed a tight seal around his prick as she struggled with his girth and length, slowly but surely however, she coaxed more of him into her warm mouth, tongue running along every inch she got inside. Sonja was seemingly unsatisfied with her efforts, even as Walker felt more and more blood rush to his throbbing manhood and he squirmed under her tender affections, because the Hyrkanian then ushered his cock in deeper, and Walker felt the head of his erection gripped by the tight confines of her throat as Sonja forced herself to down more of his length of meat. However, even the She-Devil had her limits, and Joshua felt her throat convulse as she pulled her head back, choking from the deep intrusion, lines of saliva linking her lips to his cock.

Sonja gasped, chest heaving, eyes reddened from the gagging she had forced herself to endure before she spoke, her voice raw and throaty. "I… I am sorry I cannot do more for you," she whispered. Walker heard the tinge of sadness in her words. "I do not yet have the experience of many others," admitted the She-Devil, "But, if you allow it, I would like to try something else…."

Walker nodded, "You've been magnificent Sonja," he drawled, propping himself up on an elbow, "I can't say I've had another woman do that before, and I enjoyed every bit of it."

That brought a genuine smile to her face, "I hope you will enjoy this too," she whispered huskily, hunger flashing in her eyes while bringing her hands back to grab her own breasts, positioning herself so that each fulsome tit was flanking his stiff prick. Then, she pressed the soft orbs of warm flesh to his cock, as if she was intending to smother his manhood with her womanly breasts before beginning to stroke his length with them, the saliva on his prick enough to allow her to smoothly work her tits up and down, but there was still enough friction to ensure Walker enjoyed every second of it.

"God ugh," grunted Walker, feeling his cock twitch between the pleasurable confines of Sonja's tits, "Fuck, you're something else Sonja, I'm not going to last much longer," he warned. But that only prompted the Hyrkanian to redouble her efforts, stroking him faster, even as Walker's hands reached out to cup her tits and run his thumbs over her erect nipples. "This is it, here it comes."

Just as he felt his release begin to boil up from his balls, Sonja's breasts pulled away and were replaced by the woman's moist lips right as he shot his load into her waiting mouth. Rope after rope flew from his cock, Walker grunting under the woman as he gave her a taste of what she evidently craved. Despite feeling her mouth work his cockhead, swallowing what she could, Sonja pulled back, drops of white cum falling from her lips as the last rope splattered across her tits. Without hesitation, the Hyrkanian scooped up the warm seed with her fingers and shoveled it onto her extended tongue, swallowing every drop in a vulgar but arousing display. "So, Joshua Walker," began a smirking redhead, "I take it you liked that?"

Letting out a breathy chuckle as Sonja crawled up so she was on all fours over the Bounty Hunter, Walker took in the woman's radiant face, gone was the hunger in her eyes, replaced instead with a loving gleam. "Yeah… yeah I did," rasped Joshua as he caught his breath and reached a hand up to squeeze a supple breast.

That action drew a smile and small gasp from Sonja, "I'm not the only one blessed Calamity Dame," drawled Walker as he fondled her breasts, bringing one up to his mouth to nibble and suckle on her tit. His other hand rolled down the length of her back and came to a rest on the curve of her firm ass, kneading her smooth rear as it swayed softly back and forth.

Their intimacy deepened once more, as Sonja lowered herself down into Walker, her forehead pressed to his so her red hair hung down like drapes around their heads making the moment even more private. Their lips slowly drew back together, grazing one another in line with the way the rest of their bodies were joined. Walker felt the soft, moist embrace of Sonja's womanhood press down upon his cock, stirring his manhood yet again as he rose to the challenge poised by the She-Devil.

No words had to be exchanged between them as they resumed the familiar dance, Sonja reaching down to guide his erect cock into her waiting cunt, wrapping Walker's manhood in her warm embrace once more. One hand on her back and the other on her ass, Joshua pulled the woman closer, feeling the warmth radiating off her as their skin pressed together caused him to roll his hips so he thrust into her tight snatch. Sonja moaned into his mouth, her body tensing at the intrusion, but despite her inexperience, the Hyrkanian woman responded to Walker's action by rolling her body back into his, guiding her pussy down onto his dick to usher him right to where she wanted him.

So up close, Walker was able to experience the entirety of Sonja's passion, seeing the woman breathe heavily as her kisses became deeper, more desperate as she ground her hips into his, her cunt clenching around the length of his embedded cock. But he wanted to feel all of her, and so his hands were wrapped around her, one running down her spine, pulling her down as the other rested on her head, fingers running through her head. As a result, he felt her breasts rub against his chest as he kept her pulled close as she rode him, her pace deliberate and strokes deep, each time she brought him into prompting her she grunted in satisfaction. But despite that, Sonja wasn't satisfied, and so she pushed herself up so she sat on Walker's waist like she was in a saddle, grinding her hips forward in back in sync with her up and down strokes, her bottom lip hanging open as her eyes screwed shut in ecstasy.

Groaning himself at the sensation of his manhood penetrating Sonja's wet folds, Walker grit his teeth and held on, determined to experience as much of this as he could, bringing his hands back to the tempting pair of tits dangling before him. When he squeezed the plaint flesh, Sonja moaned wantonly, her pace picking up yet again and pushing Walker closer still to the edge of temptation.

No words had to be exchanged, with Walker merely having to take Sonja's hand and tug on it to have her stoop back down to bring her lips to his. Their kiss was full and deep, tongues mingling as their bodes pressed together and both their hips rolled into each other, loins driving together as they moved towards their respective climaxes. With her pussy squeezing his cock as she ground against him, the lips of her cunt wrapped tight around him as arousal dripped from her womanhood. Sonja's orgasm wasn't explosive, but Walker could tell the woman had reached her peak. His cock was squeezed tight by the moist velvety snatch it was embedded in, and Sonja had ensured she was taking all of him when her whole body shuddered, their kiss breaking only so a shaky moan could escape her lips, almost a breathy sigh of relief as her womanhood instinctively milked Walker's manhood. The Bounty Hunter gave the woman what she desired, his boiling cum shooting up into her waiting folds, flooding her pussy and drawing another satisfied keen from the redhead as she bit her lip and subtly ground her hips into him.

With one last groan, Sonja settled down atop Walker, nuzzling her head into his as he stroked her brilliant red mane. "Goddess," she breathed, whispering into his ear before her tongue ran along his ear. "That was incredible… thank you, Joshua Walker, I… I never knew doing the deed of the dark could feel so… satisfying."

The Bounty Hunter chuckled, reaching over to unzip the bedroll, "Never heard it called that before Calamity Dame," he drawled before the two settled inside the canvas. Nestled right beside each other in the intimate confines, "We call it something a bit simpler: Lovemaking."

"Lovemaking…" repeated Sonja, testing how the word tasted on her tongue before planting another kiss on Joshua's cheek, "Yes, I believe that is appropriate, it feels as if we have made love."

"Yeah… we certainly did," agreed Walker as he slowly stroked her vibrant red mane, surprised at its softness, a stark contrast to the hardness of her body. With only the thought that he might soon have to leave this woman looming over him. It was sobering, especially after their time knocking boots, but he couldn't afford to dwell on it. If nothing else, the memories of his time with Red Sonja would be hard to forget. "We certainly did."

"Walker…" began Sonja as she shifted beside him, "On the marrow, no matter what happens… I will thank the Goddess that brought you here, to me, and set us on this path." Her lips grazed against his as they both shifted to press closer together. "I am glad that I met you, and that we have forged this bond, it is something I will cherish for the rest of my days."

"Damn Calamity Dame… Sonja," corrected the Bounty Hunter, wrapping his arms around the redhead to pull her closer to him. "This land… you, have been unlike anything I've ever had before, I've always… I knew that I would always be alone. But here? For these last few weeks? It hasn't felt like it. And for that… thank you, from the bottom of my heart." He took in her features soften and relax, no longer the stoic warrior, or the fiery Red Sonja, or the impassioned lover, but a beautiful woman. "Whatever happens tomorrow, I wouldn't want anyone else at my side." He opened his mouth to say something more, but the words died in his throat, and he was calmed by Sonja's lips meeting his.

"There are no more words to be said between us Joshua Walker," whispered Sonja as she looked up into the night, "I wonder if your world… it is out there somewhere."

Walker nodded and brought Sonja's hand to his mouth, kissing her knuckles before his gaze went skyward. Part of him hoped the Hyrkanian was right, that way he could look up into the sky and, in some way, be looking at the woman next to him.

Closing Notes: Near the end now, with just the final confrontation with Kulan Gath left to go. This has been a fun story to write, hopefully you all have enjoyed it as much as I have.
