When the Bounty Hunter woke up, it was morning and he was alone underneath the blanket. He could hear Alleria and Davion talking though and he took a few moments to stretch. When he pushed himself up on his elbows he saw the two humans sitting on a fallen tree, eating breakfast. The warrior had put some pants on and the woman was wearing a loose shirt, from the looks of it belonging to Davion. Gondar suspected she was still naked underneath it.
They realized that the Hunter was awake and Alleria waved him over. He copied Davion and grabbed his pants to put them on. Then he checked on the whereabouts of his weapons and, satisfied that they were in reach, he joined them with breakfast. It was very tasty, some fruit with flakes of corn. It was a little sweet, maybe with honey.
"So," Davion began. "When do you think whatever has been here last night will be back?"
"I don't now but I think we should be prepared this night."
"You think it will attack us?" Alleria asked.
"That cannot be ruled out."
The woman nodded. "Okay. I'll be ready for a fight."
That was when Gondar saw that, though they were almost naked, they both had their weapons in reach. They might look harmless and unprepared right now, but they definitely weren't.
The warrior turned to her. "Be careful. We don't know how strong it is and what it can do. Stay as far behind me as possible."
She leaned forward and placed her hand on his cheek. "Always."
The Bounty Hunter stood up. "I'll see if I can find anything in the woods." He wanted to leave the two humans alone. They were sitting very close to each other and the way they were talking indicated closeness. They were probably together for a long time now and suddenly Gondar felt like the third wheel. He wouldn't leave them now, only do as he had said. But he wanted to give them some time alone.
It seemed they didn't want any time alone, because Alleria jumped up. "I'll come with you."
"Alright. I'll check my weapons and armour. Gondar, you want me to check yours, too?" Davion asked.
"Ahm…" The Bounty Hunter had never had someone else touch his weapons. Nevertheless he thought about it for a moment. It was a well-meant offer but he didn't really want to go into the woods without any of them. So he shook his head. "Thank you, though."
Then he grabbed his blade and his shuriken and side by side he and the woman stepped into the forest. He refrained from going invisible and together they searched for any clues as to what creature had been stalking through the woods the previous night. They circled the clearing several times in different distances, but they found absolutely nothing.
By the time they headed back, Gondar was frustrated and more than a little angry at himself for finding no trace, no footprint, not even the scent of something. He wasn't called the Hunter for nothing, but it seemed this time he had failed. Either he had imagined the presence of something, he had been unable to find the marks the creature had left or, and that was probably the worst case, the creature was better than the Hunter. None of those three options was very likable.
And so, without talking to Davion or Alleria, he took his weapons and sat next to the fire place. Checking his blade made him relax and the sound of the woman's voice as she talked to Davion was soothing as well. His mind was working all the time, thinking about why he had found nothing and what it could mean. Alleria had found nothing as well and she seemed rather competent. The most logical assumption then was that the creature simply hadn't left any marks.
There had been something, of that the Bounty Hunter was one hundred percent sure. And this something had left no tracks. That meant, it was either some sort of ghost or spirit, or it had been something that could fly and therefore left not tracks on the ground. Invisibility and skill wasn't enough, because even the most famous Stealth Assassin left the trace of a scent when he was somewhere and Gondar could pick up this tiny bit. He had met the Assassin once, so he knew.
So there had been something and it had left not tracks.
Spirits and ghosts were no problem, normally. They were comparatively weak and for the three of them they would pose no real danger. So he could rule them out, for this and some other reasons.
Creatures that could fly were many. Creatures that could fly and were dangerous enough to render the whole forest silent in fear were little.
Davion sat down next to him, his knee brushing against Gondar's leg, and the Hunter looked up.
"You found nothing and that troubles you."
The Bounty Hunter sniffed. Amazing how the warrior came right to the point. He nodded. "It could be something that can fly."
"I see. That would put us at a disadvantage. I assume you don't fight normally if you are not one hundred percent sure that you will win."
Gondar frowned. It was true, but when Davion said it he felt as if it was a fault. The warrior smiled and put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm one hundred percent sure we will win, no matter what will come from the sky. Now, are you up to some distraction or are you too tense?" He had his eyebrows raised and Gondar's body sprang to attention immediately.
Davion's hand had moved to his lower back and there was a gleam in his eyes that left no questions as of what kind of distraction he meant. The Bounty Hunter wanted to say something in reply but his mind was awfully empty suddenly. The warrior grinned and then he kissed him.
Gondar growled. He was hard within seconds. The hand on his back began to circle slowly, pressing softly until the Hunter yielded and let the warrior press their bodies together. With his other hand he began to caress him, his arm, his shoulder, along his neck until he buried it in his hair. His grip tightened and Gondar growled again when his head was bent back, exposing his throat. But he didn't move, didn't even try to fight Davion's hold.
He would never have allowed someone to bring him in such a vulnerable position but he trusted the warrior. And he was rewarded with his mouth on his throat, licking and biting gently, sending pleasure through his whole body.
"Davion," Alleria whispered. "I want."
She must have come closer but the Bounty Hunter wasn't the least surprised that he hadn't noticed it while Davion had been kissing him. The warrior slid a little back without loosening his grip in Gondar's hair and Alleria sat between them, facing the Hunter. She continued at exactly the same spot Davion had been before, only her lips were softer, her movements were slower and her skin was smooth. It was totally different but just as good. And the strong grip in his hair reminded him that Davion wasn't far and that he was still completely in control.
The Bounty Hunter closed his eyes and enjoyed the sensations the two humans evoked. He let his hands wander over Alleria's body, pushing her shirt upwards and when she leaned away a little he pulled it over her head, leaving her naked. She felt wonderful under his hands, against his body. She added her hands to Davion's in his hair and pulled his head down, their lips connecting.
It wasn't the most comfortable place, sitting like that, but Gondar was reluctant to move, to break the kiss. He wasn't even sure he could, given the fact that he was held in place.
But the warrior must have thought the same because he released the Hunter and kind of plucked the woman away from him. Her cheeks were flushed and her breathing was fast. He carried her to the blankets.
"Gondar, lie down."
He stood up and this time he took his pants off before doing anything else. They were extremely uncomfortable in his aroused state anyway and he didn't want to have them in the way later. Davion smiled at him and Alleria's gaze was on his cock when he looked up.
The two humans looked gorgeous together, the warrior all muscles and strength, the woman lean and slightly curvy, both so very beautiful.
Following Davion's command, he lay down on the blankets. Alleria immediately joined him, lying on top of him and resuming her kissing, her hands in his hair again. Her legs were on both sides of his body and her pussy pressed against his cock. She was wet and when she rubbed herself against his hard length, coating him in her juices, Gondar growled. She shuddered softly and he slung his arms around her, one hand grabbing her ass to press her harder against his body.
A hand was placed atop his and when the Hunter opened his eyes he could see Davion kneeling at his legs, his eyes focused on Alleria's backside. He couldn't see what the man was doing but it had to be good, because the woman moaned softly and rubbed against him more insistently.
Alleria's hips were raised and a strong hand closed around his cock. The hand moved up and down his shaft slow but steady, rubbing the head against the woman's opening and then up her crack, spreading her wetness everywhere. Davion played with them, keeping Alleria's hips still with one hand while teasing her with Gondar's cock.
The woman buried her face in the Hunter's neck, breathing heavily, while Gondar growled. The warrior moved his hand too slow to make Gondar come but the pleasure was intense. Then he dipped the head of his cock into the woman's pussy, making her moan, but didn't allow either of them to push it deeper.
"Don't move." He commanded. He waited a second to see if they heeded it before taking his hands away.
Gondar's head swam. He wanted to plunge into the woman, to feel the pleasure she could bring him, but Davion's command kept him in place. It was hard, his cock was throbbing and he could feel Alleria's pussy squeezing the tip of his length, promising so much more if he would just push a tiny bit deeper.
She moaned again, indicating the warrior was doing something while they were both forbidden to move. The Bounty Hunter looked at him. He was behind Alleria now, one hand stroking her back while the other was at her ass, pushing in and out of her hole. And the Hunter knew what he was about to do. His eyes widened, not only because he had never had a woman do something like that, but because both seemed to have done it before.
While he would take her pussy, Davion would take her ass, so they could both fuck her at the same time. He had thought it impossible, but at this thought he got even harder and the next moan from the woman had him almost loose his control. But right then the warrior looked at him, their gazing locking, anchoring him.
The warrior was just as aroused, Gondar thought, his face flushed, his mouth slightly open, his breath heavy and his heartbeat was so hard the Hunter could see the pulse on his neck. Connected like that with their gazes, Davion began to push in. The woman was shaking slightly in his arms but it had to be from pleasure. He could smell her arousal as well as the warrior's and it was heady.
Davion groaned and then he stopped to move. They remained like that for at least a minute. The warrior buried in Alleria's ass to the hilt while Gondar still had only the head of his cock inside of her.
Then, extremely slowly, the man pulled almost completely out before pushing in again. His hands were holding the woman's hips. When he pulled back the next time he stayed like that and gave a tight nod to Gondar. This was the sign he had been waiting for forever and with one swift thrust he seated himself inside of Alleria's pussy. She was hot and tight and the Hunter had to grit his teeth to stop himself from increasing his speed too fast and too soon so he wouldn't come, yet.
He kept looking at Davion so it was easier to move together.
Alleria's moans got louder and she began to suck on his neck, just below his ear, where he was extremely sensitive.
The Bounty Hunter growled. He had a tight grip on the woman's ass, first to have a better leverage for his thrusts and second because he needed something to hold on to. Something physical, besides Davion's gaze, which was still boring into his, that kept him from losing himself in the pleasure those two humans brought him. It was all extremely intense and the orgasm that was approaching promised to be the best of his whole life.
The woman came first, writhing atop him, milking his cock inside her pussy and Gondar let go. It was too good to restrain himself any longer and the sounds of her and Davion's pleasure were driving him over the edge even faster. He closed his eyes when his climax hit with a force. With one last thrust deep into Alleria he stilled and came, hard. He was sure he blacked out for a second or two.
"I think I'll have bruises." Alleria mumbled a few minutes later. "You two couldn't grab any harder, could you?"
Gondar's mind needed a little to process what she had said. He opened his eyes and looked at Davion, who was cowering behind her, one hand on the ground to hold himself up. The warrior frowned slightly, then he looked at the woman's backside right in front of him. His mouth formed on 'o' right before he grimaced. It seemed she wouldn't get bruises but already had them. The Bounty Hunter slung his arms around her and nuzzled her neck. He remembered that he had grabbed her hard. "I'm sorry. Didn't want to hurt you."
Her hand stroked through his hair. "Don't worry, I don't break that easily."
Davion lay down next to them and pulled Alleria against his chest. "I'm sorry, too."
They were sandwiching her now, and she sighed. "That was awesome."
The warrior kissed her on the top of her head. "I'm glad you liked it. The last time was long ago, I wasn't sure if you would still be up to it."
Her smile could be heard in her voice. "With you, always."
They were silent for some time and Gondar enjoyed the cuddling.
The growling of Davion's stomach made Alleria laugh. "You are hungry again? How can you eat so much all the time?"
"Well, I'm a warrior. I have to eat to stay strong."
Still laughing she turned around, now facing the man. "Then you better eat. We don't want mister strong and mighty to get weak."
Davion smiled. "I'm sure you don't want that. Because who's gonna give you this awesome sex when I'm too weak to move?"
"Oh no!" she exclaimed in mock shock. "No awesome sex anymore? Gondar, hurry, we have to get him something to eat!" And, laughing again, she jumped up and went to grab something from one of their bags.
Both males were smiling and staring after her as she moved over the clearing butt naked.
When she was on her way back, food in her hand, she grimaced. "Guys, I need a bath or something. Gondar, do you know where a lake or something is?"
The Bounty Hunter nodded. It would take them an about an hour to get there but it could be worse. So, after Davion had finished eating, the three of them took their clothes and weapons and Gondar led them to the lake. They were carrying their things because what sense was there in putting them on before cleaning up?
About halfway there, Gondar began to use his invisibility to scout a little. Though he felt way safer with the two humans by his side than when he was travelling alone, it was just his nature to walk the landscape unseen. He was always near enough to hear them talking but used all his senses to search for any threads. He even watched the sky because of his suspicion that the creature from the night could be something that could fly. But nothing dangerous was around.
They reached the lake without any problems and Alleria immediately threw her clothes on a rock and began to walk into the water. The lake had an almost perfect beach, the only flaw was that it was a rocky beach instead of a sandy one. But it was free from vegetation and dipped gently into the water.
The water of the lake was extremely cold but the woman kept a straight face while she waded deeper, the water already to her stomach. Davion ran after her, maybe to catch her, but when his feet hit the water he, well, he actually squealed, and jumped backwards with some weird looking move. He stood on the beach, staring at Alleria in the water, who was laughing so hard she almost fell into the lake.
Approaching the poor man, Gondar couldn't help but smile at his shocked expression. "How can you walk into this ice water as if it doesn't bother you at all?" he shouted at the woman. That made her only laugh harder. In-between gasps for air she said something like 'worth it' and 'like a girl'. The warrior crossed his arms in front of his chest and frowned. He would probably have looked fearsome if he hadn't been naked.
Going visible, the Bounty Hunter appeared next to Davion. Without comment he put his things onto the ground and slowly followed the woman into the lake. He had to grit his teeth not to embarrass himself like Davion had but he managed to get into the freezing water without making a sound.
Alleria smiled and approached him. Then she hugged him, pressing her body against his. "The water is so unbelievably cold, if I hadn't wanted to tease Davion I would never have gone into this lake." She was already shaking a little and the Hunter tried to remain still and warm her with his body. When they heard cursing from the beach they saw that Davion must have decided to get into the lake despite the cold. He didn't look very happy, though. And he didn't go further than his stomach.
Gondar let go of the woman. He submerged so his hair would get wet, too, before heading to shore. He took soap from his backpack and waded to his knees back in. He washed his whole body, trying to ignore the cold, but when he was finished he was shivering. He put the soap away and began to jump on one place to get his body to dry and to get warm again.
Suddenly he realized that the two humans were watching him. He stopped jumping. "What?"
Alleria smiled at him. "It is fascinating to watch you. You live here, in the forest, don't you? You look as if this is all totally normal for you."
She was right, it was totally normal for him to wash in a lake where the water was so cold it would almost make his feet freeze off. He shrugged. Though he trusted those two more than any other creature he didn't want to give too much about himself away.
They went back in the same way they had come, though this time they were all clothed. Davion had left his armour on the clearing but was carrying his sword.
Somewhere on the way Alleria vanished into the woods and came back with two rabbits she had shot. Back on the clearing she prepared them so they could eat them. The Bounty Hunter used the time to scout again and pluck some herbs and berries he stumbled upon.
There was nothing suspicious, the animals acted all normal enough. Whatever creature had been there in the night was gone for the time being. This fact didn't ease the Hunter in the least, it probably even made him more nervous. But since there was no threat, there was nothing he could do. He went back and watched the woman roast the rabbits over a fire while the warrior was (again) checking his armour and weapon. He put them on, with Alleria helping him from time to time, to test all straps and fastenings. He looked really imposing when he was fully armoured, only his helmet remaining on the ground.
Satisfied, he took everything off, glancing at the rabbits. He was hungry again?
They all sat down around the fire and Gondar listened to the two humans talking. He nibbled on some of the food and relaxed. It had been such a languid day and he had enjoyed it very much. The Bounty Hunter smiled contently.
