I wake up to the feeling of the ground moving. I get up and look around, "Elise?" I see my little sister looking me over, she is sad. "What's wrong?"
Her magic flows over me again, the pain is mostly gone, "We got you an Elixir, so you should be feeling a lot better." A moment passes, "Daddy ordered it, then told us that we must get you on a caravan so you can do your mission."
"He must be livid." I gently brush my arm, my armor looks to be recently repaired, stronger even? I see Yato and my crafted sword leaning against the cavern. The Dragonstone still hangs on my necklace.
"Not as bad as you think, strangely enough. He did reroute some soldiers for them to assist you. We're meeting them at the Port."
"Really? He is doing a lot for me." It is odd hearing him being so generous. "He smells dead." Keaton's words rang through my head.
"Yea… hey, sis?" She tilts her head, "I got a question, I wanna make sure I got this right." I wait for her to continue, "Because I think I kinda get it now, when you say you are fine with Keaton being in control. That is because it just how it… is?" She seems so unsure of herself.
I smile, "Finally, someone is getting it…" A sigh of relief follows. "Everyone keeps expecting this long and detailed explanation, but there isn't. It just is." I look at her, now she is smiling, "When did you start thinking that?"
"Well, while I was taking care of you, the thought kept crossing my mind and I tried so hard to think it through, but it never seemed to work," she taps her staff with her fingers, "buuut, at some point, while I was doodling a picture, it just… clicked." An undertone came with the mention of the picture, I am not sure what it is, "It's weird, I get it when I stop looking for a reason, but I am so used to wanting reasons that it is hard to keep getting it."
"I am so glad you can even sort of understand, you don't know how much that relieves me." I slowly sit up, "A gentle hug? If my healer approves?"
She giggles, "Of course!" She approaches me, "Oh! I told you I would give you the kisses that Camilla wrote to me about." She plants a few quick ones on my forehead and both cheeks, but as she pulls away and breaks the embrace I move my hands and hold her face, looking her over. She stares at me with curiosity evident in her eyes.
"One more?" I am unable to stop myself from asking. I feel my face burning again and her face flushes in response. My breathing comes in short and quick as a warmth spreads throughout.
"Um… I-I guess?" She looks away.
"Oh, I won't force you if you don't want to…" I am disappointed, gods, she just looks so precious right now.
Her eyes train on me again a smile on her face that sends my heart racing, "Well… If it will make you happy, then I suppose there's nothing wrong." She closes in, one of my hands travels to the back of her head while the other goes to her back. Our eyes close when our lips connect, gods, she feels so right .
The kiss continues for a whole lot longer than I expect and I pull her closer, I am wanting more. We finally break off when she is in need of air, "Gods, Elise…" My face is completely red.
She giggles and looks away, "Wow… uh, you're really good…"
"Would you like another one later?" What am I saying? It is just like with Camilla all that time ago, I just do not care right now. 'But wait, if this is my heat coming around again...' I refuse to finish that thought, maybe next time?
"That… sounds nice." She smiles, "How are you feeling? Er, I mean with your injuries and all."
"The Elixir was a blessing, I can see why they are so desirable." 'Like her .'
"Expensive, too." She agrees. "Now, get some more rest, we'll be stopping for camp in a few hours. Then we can have that kiss later tonight."
"I am looking forward to it." I lie back down and I can hear Elise skipping away. "Gods, she is so sweet." Time to nap...
I awake to see the sun has nearly set, giving the sky an orange tint. I force myself up, the pain is thankfully nearly healed. A Concoction has nothing on an Elixir, sure the scars will never fade and they will always be more prone to ripping open again, but the pain is absent. I walk outside to see that the camp has been set up, Arthur is on the far side, already taking first watch. Effie is somewhere I cannot see right now. Elise is chatting with a few soldiers while mixing some of whatever cheap ration is in the stew. She happens to look up and see me, then waves me over.
"We're having bile again?" It doesn't look that bad, Elise seems to know how to make it look tolerable.
"We are," She notions to herself and the soldiers, "But I got Effie to get a surprise for you!"
I smile, "Uh well, thank you, you really didn't have to, I could've hunted something myself." I was kind of itching to kill something myself, but a free meal sounds just as good.
"She should be back soon."
"Ah, Lady Yasei." Jakob approaches me, "Thank the gods you are feeling better." He starts looking me over, trained eyes looking for even the smallest detail, "How is your armor feeling now?"
"Perfect! It seems… stronger?"
He smiles, "So you've noticed. I have had it reforged during your rest period. The spots with your Wyrmslayer wounds are reinforced and a layer of protection runes have been added, just to be safe." He nods, "I am pleased it came out so well. I do know how much you want that particular armor set.
"Gods! What kind of vile creaton leaves a hammer just lying around?" We turn to see Arthur tending to his left foot with one hand while holding a hammer in the other.
"He should probably place the hammer down..." I start.
"Ouch! By my Big Toe of Justice, that hurt!" The hammer is now on the ground and he is hopping on one foot while muttering other swears that contain Justice in some form or other.
"...before he drops it." Even though he is in pain, I start giggling then Elise follows. A soldier with a medic kit goes and attends to Elise's retainer.
"I'm back, brought the biggest one, like you asked. Still alive." Effie comes into sight hauling this huge bear by its head, the beast is still squirming around. Its claws bounce harmlessly off the Knight's armor. "Ah, Lady Yasei, would you mind killing this before it actually starts scratching into my armor?"
My Butler sighs, "I suppose I should tend to our Hero of Justice." He bows and leaves.
I look at Elise with a raised eyebrow, "I know you like them fresh." She tries to hide her disgust.
"You're the best, Elise." I smile and make my way over to the bear, who is too occupied with its captor to bother with me, one quick stab with my lance arm is enough to end it.
"Eat your fill, the rest is going to the stew." I nod, Effie could probably eat all of this… cooked, of course. Gods, this thing is even bigger than the one Keaton and I took out, and she just dragged it here. I rip into the fur and flesh and begin my meal. Fresh bear is still the best, I wish I could have shared this with Keaton…
A few minutes pass and I am finished, I barely even got into a fourth of the beast before I call it good. Effie comes and drags the thing over to the camp and has the rest cut out. I lick the remaining blood around my lips and surrounding area, the forked tongue providing a much better reach than the human one. I walk back into camp and grab a clean cloth and wipe the rest off.
The rest of the camp has started eating their stew, while the cooked bear gets passed around, some choose to put it in their stew while others just ate it. I make my way over to the Royal's tent, two cots are in here, of course I would share it with Elise. I keep my armor on and just wander around, looking over all the items. I took note of the light-sweet smell that surrounds the room, particularly on Elise's side, it is a mixture of some flowers and herbs I do not recognize, but I do know that I find it really appealing. My body heats up at the thought of the impending kiss, will my dragon side push it further? The human is disagreeing, but I want to listen to the dragon more, life is easier, things are clearly defined.. and Elise is getting an understanding of it!
"Hiyah!" I hear the princess exclaim, I turn to see her entering the tent with a pronounced sway to her step, it is not exactly graceful but the affect is all the same. "I know that looked off, but Camilla makes it look soooo easy. I keep trying to be more like her."
"You are perfect the way you are, Elise." I would not want her to change.
She winks, "Thanks! So… we should arrive to the port in a day, and…" She looks away for a moment, "anyway, we agreed on another kiss, right?" It sounds like she was going to bring up something else.
I nod, face flushing already, "We did, but um… let me know if I push things too far. My dragon side wants…" I pause, "more." Gods, it sounds so embarrassing.
"Oh… oh!" Her face goes completely red, "S-sure thing." She is in my space again, "Ready when you are!" She gets on her tippy toes yet still has trouble reaching my mouth, I lean down and pick her up, getting a giggle in response. Her giggles stop as the air becomes tenser, my breathes comes in quicker, heart is beating faster and I can tell she doing the same.
We close the gap and our lips meet, gods, I can smell so much of that sweet scent she has on her, it takes a fair amount of willpower to keep my knees from giving out. At first it is our lips just brushing like last time, but it soon becomes more heated. I pull her closer, my tongue flicking against her mouth, yet she does not get the hint, though I suppose that is fine, I am probably the only one she kissed so far. Last last time, we pull away for air. "Well?"
"Mmm…" She lazily responds. "Was I missing something?" She licks her lips.
"Oh, the tongue part?" She nods, "I was uh… trying to get inside your mouth…" Why does it feel so embarrassing to say these things out loud?
"Ohhh…" She smiles and approaches me at her own pace this time, "So… like this?" She starts the kiss this time and flicks her tongue on my mouth and I open mine. I shudder when I feel her exploring my mouth, I force myself to lower to the nearest cot to keep myself from falling. A moan escapes me and my core lights up. 'More . ' Her tongue exits and mine enters hers. I can hear her moan and she trembles with pleasure. One of my hands travel from her back and to her head. Once more we part, "Wooow." Her eyes are glazed.
I smile in return, "Gods…" ' More .' "How are you feeling?"
"Warm… hot, even." She fans her dress for emphasis, "I-Is there anything else to this?"
"That is about it for kissing… unless…?"
"You mean like… touching?" She looks away.
"Only if you want to. Don't feel like you have to." I want to be certain she is confident that she wants it.
"I-I don't think I am quite ready for that. But another kiss?" She smiles.
"Of course."
Another kiss leads to another and before long it is time for sleep, "I could probably do this all night, but we should probably stop." My hair is messy, my face is completely flushed, my breathing is quick and my body is so heated.
"Yea…" She is almost in the same state as I am. "We can do this again tomorrow night, right? I really like it."
"Absolutely." And so we finally prepare to sleep, the candles are put out and I take off my armor. I can hear Elise taking hers off, I wonder… No, I need to sleep, not work myself up more. So, I hop into my cot and pull the blanket over me, willing myself to sleep. Minutes pass without any success, 'godsdamnit' , I would tend to myself, but…
"Haah…" My hearing picks up the muffled moan, well, at least I am not the only one worked up. "Y-Yasei..." And now I am wide awake.
"Elise?" I hear a small 'eep', "So, you are also…?" I let the question hang.
"Yea…" I can imagine her looking away, even though we are not facing each other. "Did I wake you up?"
"No." The scent would probably hit me first, "We should have stopped after the first."
I hear her giggle, "Maybe… and maybe we could… try it?"
Now I turn over and I can barely make out the red on her face, "Are you sure?"
"I don't think we can sleep until we do, so yes." Maybe not the best reason, but… "I trust you. Even the dragon side."
I slowly get up, let the blanket drop, and make my way towards her. She is staring at me with wide eyes, her breathing is already very ragged, gods she must be really close to hers if she's like that right now. I carefully remove the blanket off of her. Elise's nipples has already been hardened and her core is glistening, it smells sweet, maybe more-so than her. "I'll go slow." 'I'll try to . '
She nods and I take a breath, gods I hope she cannot see me. I carefully lower myself onto her cot, the lack of space is immediately evident and my rear makes contact with her side. I reach with my hands towards her face and begin caressing it. "Y-Yasei..." She is smiling, somehow staying so cute even when she is so heated. "Touch me… please."
I bring my legs over the cot, which puts me in a straddling position, I mainly do it for the extra room, but it gets me even more heated when my core starts getting almost with touching distance of her skin. I lean down and press body-to-body, her nipples rubbing against my body, letting out a moan, my hands start snaking their way across her body. 'More . ' I bring my face to hers and start up a kiss, almost thrusting my forked tongue into her mouth. My fingers find their way towards her breasts and I gently rub them. She begins letting out moans and thrusts her hips towards mine, which causes me to moan when her skin touches my core. "Haah… Elise…" I say after we break the kiss.
I can see a need in her eyes, I guess she does not really want the foreplay and I do not blame her. "Mmm…" I start sliding down her body, bringing my mouth towards her skin and planting kisses along her. I finally make my way to her vagina and let out a breath I have been holding, "Gods! Y-Yasei!" Her hips buck again and I get my mouth on her core while my arms move to hold her down. My tongue goes in quick and deep, gods she is so close already. "Haah…" My tongue explores with haste, easily sliding against her inner walls and taking in near gulps of her juice. I feel my own need getting stronger. 'More . '
It only takes a minute of constant licking before she gives and lets out a cry of satisfaction. I am rewarded with a large helping of her sex juice. I take some time to lap it all up before removing my mouth and taking a look at my work. She is breathing heavily, sweat glistening. "Mmm…" I hum as I swallow the rest and move my way back up towards her. I claim her mouth and share my work, she shudders in response.
"Gods, Yasei that was…" She breathes after the kiss breaks. "amazing. C-can I… do that to you, too?"
I raise an eyebrow, "You still got enough energy after that?" I gulp.
"Y-yea, I can." A smile greets me.
"O-okay… just… I am going to feel weird with these s-scales." I look away.
Elise giggles, "I am sure you'll feel just fine to me. Uh, should we switch spots… or something?"
"Yeah…" We both get up and I lie down first. 'Scarred, ugly . ' I shake the thoughts away. "R-ready."
She crawls onto in a manner similar that I done to her. Her hands begin exploring, she is nervous and her hands slightly shake. I take a sharp breath when her fingers brush my nipples. She is studying me intently, probably worried she will mess up any second now. She brings her mouth to my breast and I let out a moan. She jolts back up her eyes are wide, "Uh…"
"You're fine, please don't stop."
"N-no, it's just… that was really loud." My face burns, she then resumes and her mouth starts to work on my breast, her tongue flicking my nipple while her free hand travels down lower… lower. My breathing comes in faster, then her mouth starts dropping to join her hand, which is sooo close to my core.
"E-Elise… haah, Gods…" Her fingers dance over my core, one of them grazing over my clitoris in an even lighter touch, my legs clench and cause more friction. A second later and I let go, giving her head room to move further down. "P-please, Elise." Her mouth attaches to my core and I feel like cumming on the spot, her fingers have slipped inside with ease, while her tongue is also exploring me.
She hums in approval and the vibrations cause another moan to escape me. 'More '. My legs wrap themselves around her head, pulling her closer. She eagerly starts licking and fingering faster. "Elise… I-I am…" And it is done, she receives her own reward. I am panting heavily and she has this satisfied smirk on her face, I can see her licking up the remaining juices off of her face.
She moves back up and curls next to me, forcing the cot to support both of us. "You're the best, Yasei... I love you." I can feel her relaxing and soon falling asleep.
"Good night, Elise… I love you, too." And so we fell asleep, no blanket, and cuddling naked.
