About a Week Before Rutger's 18th Birthday
Mark and Lyn were in Bulgar visiting one of their favorite shops, the secret one ran and owned by Anna located down a number of twisting alleys and turns in the marketplace. They were welcomed in almost immediately by said Anna who always seemed to have a smile on her face.
"Well, if it isn't two of my best customers." Anna greeted the couple as they walked inside and she shut and locked the door behind them. "How have you been lately, haven't seen you around as much as usual."
"We're doing well, all things considered." Mark commented. "I'm sure you know all about the rumblings coming out of Bern recently, I'd be surprised if you didn't."
"I have." Anna confirmed, her smile turning into a thought of contemplation. "But you two don't have to worry about little old me, if things turn for war I have shops all over Elibe you can visit to get weapons to stock up on. I might even throw in a discount if it's for a good reason."
"You seem pretty confident that we'd be fighting back somehow." Lyn replied, with a bit of a knowing smile towards the merchant. "I thought you always said you and your sisters only sold weapons to the side of the war that's in the right. How do you know we'd be part of that side?"
"Oh Lyn, I could never imagine you getting tricked into fighting for the wrong side with that strong sense of justice of yours." Anna told her confidently. "And Mark is too smart to not read the situation as well, so I trust the two of you to make the right decisions."
"And?" Mark questioned, reading that Anna knew more than she was letting on.
"And I have have intelligence in Bern letting me know that something questionable is going on with them." Anna answered. "Call it a merchant's intuition, but if Bern enters a war and it's not being backed by it's princess I don't think they would be in the right."
"Makes you wonder if we should have saved Zephiel's life back in the day." Lyn replied with a slight sigh.
"We kind of had to though." Mark countered as always when someone brought that up. "If he died then his mother wouldn't have given us the location of the Shrine of Seals. Of course we could have found it ourselves, but given the time frame Nergal was keeping with summoning the dragons, if we were even a few days later to the Dread Isle we would probably would have been cooked by dragon fire."
"Still, I wish things would have turned out better for him." Lyn commented before turning back to Anna. "But let's not stay focused on the troubling news for too long, we're actually here for something else."
"I figured that was the case." Anna replied, cheering up a bit. "So what will it be? Map supplies, potions, exotic foodstuffs, or some tools to keep that fire lit in bed?"
"Something a bit different actually." Mark noted. "Something that would need your specific type of connections and a certain type of person in your extended family."
"Oooh, that sounds interesting." Anna commented as she started to see gold in her future. "And profitable as well. So what are you wanting me to look into for you?"
"Well, as you probably know since we sent you an invitation, our son Rutger is having this 18th birthday in about a week and we wanted to get him something special." Lyn started out. "And you know how he's always practicing his flirting with you when we bring him here."
"He's been getting quite good at it actually." Anna confirmed with a nod.
"So we were wondering if you could get in contact with someone in your family that would be willing to get paid to spend some intimate time with him." Lyn continued.
"Preferably one of your relatives that's decently close to his age as well." Mark added. "And we'll pay for everything up front so if anything goes wrong she'll still get paid for her hassles, though I'm sure we're all pretty confident Rutger will know how to handle himself like a gentleman."
"Hmmm, I see." Anna pondered as she started to think about the proposition. "I do have a few sisters and nieces that might be interested in something like that, but it's going to take me a bit of time to get into contact with them. You said his birthday is sometime next week?"
"Correct." Mark confirmed with a nod.
"I think I can work with that." Anna mused. "For my usual research fee of course."
"Of course." Lyn noted as she pulled a bag of gold coins out of her satchel and handed them over to Anna. Anna quickly looked inside the bag but she trusted them enough to not short her on something like this since they had paid fully every other time.
"Alright, I will get working contacting someone. I'm sure it won't be that much of an issue." Anna said as she moved over to her desk and pulled out a book full of how to get into contact with her family.
"Thank you Anna, we really appreciate this." Mark told her genuinely. "You are without a doubt the best merchant in Elibe."
"And a pretty good friend as well." Lyn added.
"Aww, you two." Anna replied with a small blush. "But I appreciate you coming to me for this, I think it's an idea that suits your sensibilities perfectly and it's something different for me to flex my skills with."
"That's an interesting way to think about it." Mark commented. "Well, we'll still look around to see if you have anything else we want to purchase, so we'll be here for a bit longer."
"Take your time as always." Anna assured them.
"Oh, and just so you know, when you do find someone, we want them to be ready the day after his birthday, since we have a big partly planned the day of." Lyn added.
"Sure, sure, I'll be sure to let them know that."
The Day After Rutger's 18th Birthday
"You know you two are acting way more suspicious than usual right?" Rutger questioned his parents after they had finished lunch. Why did he think they were being suspicious you may ask? Well first off the day before they told him that they had a gift for his birthday but it was going to have to wait for today. And now they were telling him he had to go out to the lake near the ger alone and in his swim trunks to go find it.
"Well, we don't want to ruin the surprise for you." Mark told him with a bit of a smirk.
"Is it buried in the middle of the lake or something?" Rutger wondered, knowing that his parents were not above pulling silly tricks on him like that since they had done it before. Not that he didn't enjoy them after the fact, but still.
"That's for you to find out dear." Lyn commented before taking a sip of tea. "But I would hurry up, we don't know how long it'll be there or if someone else will end up finding it first."
"Alright, alright, I'll play your little game." Rutger smiled playfully as he slightly shook his head. "Just don't expect me to be home for dinner if I don't find it quickly enough."
"Oh, I'm sure you'll be missing more than dinner." Mark teased him. And with that Rutger went to his room and got changed into his red swim trunks and sandals before starting his trek out to the lake. He also took a sword with him just in case. Normally things were quiet, but with the rumblings coming from Bern there was an uptick in bandit activity in the area and he didn't want to get caught empty handed.
"I know they don't like talking about it that much still, but something tells me you and me will be getting to know each other a lot better in the near future." Rutger commented to his sword as he sheathed it. He wasn't blind to the going-ons of Elibe, he could sense that war in the near future was a good possibility, but he wouldn't lie and say he wasn't also kind of looking forward to some adventure because of all the stories his parents had told him about their fight against Nergal. Plus it would probably mean he would actually get to spend a decent amount of time with Roy and Lilina because they would probably be in the middle of everything as well if old man Athos' prediction was correct. The last time he had seen either of them was right before they left for Etruria so the Mage General there could teach and tutor them. They had time to sent him letters for his birthday of course, but he would have much preferred if they had been there to celebrate it with him. Either way, once those thoughts passed he was close to the lake and when he was close enough he heard someone whistling nearby.
"Someone is here already?" Rutger asked himself as he quickly hid behind a large rock before anyone could see him. After he pulled out his sword he slowly peeked over the top of the rock to see what was going on and what he saw surprised him slightly. He saw someone who looked like Anna from the secret shop standing in the water of the lake wearing a red and black bikini. He could see from her mouth movements that she was the one whistling and she was also splashing some water over herself to keep cool as well. Rutger ducked back behind the rock and sheathed his sword once again before thinking about how to proceed.
"What is Anna doing all the way out here?" He wondered to himself. "Or is that even the same Anna I know? Is this part of what my parents had in store for me? Well, I guess there is only one way to find out." So he left his sword on the ground near the rock he was behind and tried to act natural as he walked into the clearing where the lake was. He made it a couple of feet before he reached the water's edge before the Anna-like person turned around and saw him.
"Oh, my aunt wasn't lying, you are quite the handsome fellow." The woman commented as she got a good look at Rutger in his swim trunks. "Well, this will definitely make things a bit easier I think."
"I take it you're Anna?" Rutger wondered, trying to not make the question sound dumb. "I mean obviously not the Anna I know from the secret shop, but I'm in the loop when it comes to how your extended family works."
"Yep! That would be me!" Anna replied with her signature finger to her mouth pose. "And I'm assuming you would be Rutger correct? I've been waiting for you for a little bit."
"Yes, I am Rutger." Rutger confirmed. "And I apologize if I kept you waiting for something, I'm still trying to figure out what's going on actually."
"Oh no, don't worry about it, it's only been a few minutes tops." Anna assured him. "And fear not, because I'm here to let you know what's going on as well."
"That's a relief, I was worried I was going to have to go through one of my father's elaborate riddles or something." Rutger noted with a chuckle.
"No, no, nothing like that." Anna told him. "So anyways, I'm here to help you celebrate your birthday. And I have to say, your folks picked a pretty nice place for us to have a bit of alone time together. This lake is pretty out of the way but the atmosphere is top notch. You're lucky you get to live near a place like this."
"Yeah, it's a pretty nice lake, lots of little hidden secrets to find as well." Rutger agreed as he stepped closer to Anna and walked into the water as well. "But, just to be clear in what you're saying, what do you mean by 'alone time' together?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Anna teased him with a bit of a smirk. "Your parents hired me to spend time with you doing whatever you please. And when I mean whatever you please I mean whatever. They paid quite the sum of money and even gave me more than I asked, so anything is on the table really."
"I see." Rutger said trying to not sound too excited but if you looked at his eyes you could tell he was starting to see what was going on. Of course his parents had told him that some people make a living having sex with others and that it was a respectable enough profession, and they also told him of times they had hired such individuals themselves, so there wasn't any awkwardness going on with that front. But he still didn't want to act embarrassingly or do something that would offend this Anna, so he started by taking a page out of his parent's book of tricks. "Well, why don't we sit down and you can tell me a bit about yourself?"
"Huh? That's not what I was expecting." Anna replied, her confident and playful facade breaking a bit. "Didn't you hear what I told you, you can do whatever you want with me? Don't you want me to like get naked or something?"
"Well, yeah, of course, but maybe a bit later." Rutger noted. "Look my family is a bit...different when it comes to sex and intimacy. We like to get to know the people we get intimate with before we do anything, it makes the experience that much better in our opinion."
"My aunt did warn me about something like this." Anna noted.
"I take it your aunt is the Anna that runs the secret shops around here?" Rutger wondered.
"Yep, that's the one." Anna confirmed sounding a bit more nervous now. "I guess I should have prepared for this. You see, this is actually my first official 'appointment' if you get what I mean. I kind of had a pre-conceived idea of how this was going to go and now that it's a bit off the rails I've lost a bit of confidence."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you lose confidence." Rutger told her genuinely. "I can act differently if it will make you feel better."
"No, no, I'm sure something else would have thrown things off eventually, it's actually nice that it came so quickly." Anna admitted. "I would actually like to talk and get to know each other better, I think that would ease my nerves a bit."
"Of course, there is a really big flat rock on the other side of the lake we can sit and relax on, come on." Rutger beckoned before he started swimming over to said rock. Anna followed him and soon enough the two of them were sitting on the rock with their legs hanging over the edge. "So Anna, are you originally from Elibe or are you from another Outrealm?"
"You know about Outrealms?" Anna asked curiously.
"Yeah, my father has the ability to open and travel between them, so I've been to a couple before here and there." Rutger explained.
"That sounds like fun." Anna commented. "But no, I'm not from Elibe. I'm from a placed called Magvel, the nation of Jehanna to be specific."
"Huh, my father always told me he was friends with the king there." Rutger noted. "He said his name was Joshua. Is he still the king there?"
"He is, and he's my father." Anna admitted.
"What? Really?" Rutger asked taken aback a bit. "What's a princess doing going around selling her body? Are things alright in Jehanna?"
"Oh, things are great in Jehanna, couldn't be better." Anna replied genuinely. "I guess you could call me a bit of a rebel because the royal life really isn't the life for me. And I'm the second child anyways, so it's not like I'm going to inherit the throne or anything."
"Yeah, but still, it seems like a bit of a logical leap for your profession." Rutger continued.
"Normally I would agree with you, but in my family it's not that uncommon." Anna explained. "You see my mother was also in the same profession before she met my father. But they ended up falling in love and things went on from there. Of course she didn't tell me all this until I was older, but when I found out about it, the thought of travelling the realms and meeting interesting people spoke to me. And apparently it spoke to my father in his youth as well since he gave his full approval and told me he even once ran away from the castle to feel the same experience."
"Hmm, that does line up with the stories my father told me about the king of Jehanna. Interesting that we have that bit of connection between us." Rutger mused. "In fact, one of his stories that he didn't tell me about until I was older and could understand was about him and your father spending some time with an Anna. I don't want to presume, but that probably was your mother."
"Huh, well isn't that a little funny coincidence?" Anna replied with a little laugh. "Funny how things like that work out. But enough about me, what about you Rutger? Tell me a bit about yourself."
"Well, if we're sticking with the theme of little coincidences, did you know that I'm also, kind of, technically, a prince?" Rutger asked as a leading question.
"Really now? Tell me more." Anna said and Rutger went on to tell Anna about how his mother Lyn was heir to the throne of Caelin, but how she gave it away after her adventures with her friends so she could live out on the plains like she wanted to. "Wow, you were right when you said your family is quite unusual, I wouldn't know anyone who would just willingly give up power like that. But I take it your mother is happy with her decision?"
"I assume so, she's never really voiced any regret about it and she's one of the most cheerful and happy people I know." Rutger noted. "So I think she thinks she made the right decision."
"Do you think she did?" Anna wondered.
"Of course, she followed her heart and was firm in her decision." Rutger replied. "The only thing that bothers me a bit is that now it might be a bit harder for me to become a knight later on."
"You want to be a knight?" Anna asked. "Why is that?"
"Because I like helping people out, and one of the ways I'm good at doing that is with my sword skills." Rutger answered. "That and it'll keep me in closer contact with my best friends. They are both heirs to countries in Lycia and it's been harder and harder to see each other over the years because of their growing responsibilities, so if I could be one of their knights then we could see each other more."
"That's really thoughtful of you Rutger, you must care about them a lot." Anna commented.
"I do, and since I'm the oldest between the three of us I feel like I'm a little responsible for looking after them, so I guess that's a part of it as well." Rutger admitted.
"Well, if this nice guy persona you've shown me isn't an act, I'm sure you'll be a wonderful knight for them." Anna assured him.
"Thank you, I appreciate that." Rutger replied, giving Anna a warm smile. "So, how are you feeling now, more relaxed?"
"Yes, I feel much more relaxed after that, and I really liked talking to you Rutger, you have a lot of interesting things to say." Anna answered.
"Well, if you liked that then I could show you some interesting secrets around the lake here next." Rutger offered.
"Oooh, that sounds like a lot of fun actually." Anna replied with a sparkle in her eyes. "But, like, you do want to do more than just that later right?"
"Of course I do, I'd be a fool to pass up some intimacy with a woman as pretty and determined as you Anna." Rutger smirked at her, making her blush a bit. "But if you want a little preview of things to come, we could ditch our swimwear while I show you around."
"Now that's something closer to what I was expecting." Anna smirked back.
"Well, better take a good look before I jump in, I'm a quick changer." Rutger teased her before he quickly slipped his swim trunks off and did a cannonball into the lake, splashing some water on Anna in the process.
"Hey, no fair!" Anna fake pouted before peeling off her bikini and diving in after Rutger gracefully.
"No fair? You're not the one getting paid." Rutger teased her playfully. "Now take a deep breath, some of these secrets are close to the bottom of the lake." Anna nodded and after Rutger dove under the water she followed him close behind. She was surprised at just how many things were at the bottom of the lake. There was a horse drawn carriage, some very large animal bones, a few flowers that looked amazing under the blue hue of the water, and she could have sworn she even saw a treasure chest down there as well. After Rutger showed her all that he continued to give her a tour around the lake, taking her around to all the little interesting spots him and his family had found over the years. Soon enough though they ended up standing together towards the middle of the lake once the tour was over.
"You really know this lake like the back of your haaAAA!" Anna yelped as a fish unexpectedly brushed against her leg. It was so much of a surprise that she jumped towards Rutger, putting her hand near his shoulder, and he instinctively grabbed one of her hands with his and put the other on her back so he could pull her closer in.
"Are you okay?" Rutger asked with a tinge of worry in his tone.
"Ha, I guess it was just a fish passing by." Anna replied with a light laugh. But after that she realized something. She could feel Rutger's dick pressing up against her stomach since he pulled her in closer to his body. He was so tall compared to her and it was so long that it was almost touching the bottom of her breasts. Of course she had seen it from far off as they were exploring the lake, but she wasn't expecting it to be so warm, thick, and throbbing. Not that she didn't like it though, as seen when she decided to move in even closer so it was even more pressed against her.
"That was a pretty cute sound you just made though, not going to lie." Rutger said with a smirk as he felt Anna press herself against him a bit more, sensing the moment was quickly changing to a more intimate one.
"Well, you know Rutger, you could try and get me to make some more noises like that." She temped him. "If you want to that is."
"Hmm, is that a challenge?" Rutger teased her as he pulled her even closer and bent down slightly so he could get his head closer to hers.
"If you want to see it that way." Anna teased back as she moved her head closer.
"Challenge accepted then." Rutger murmured before moving in all the way and placing a kiss on Anna's lips. And wouldn't you know it, all the build up from talking and spending time with each other did make Anna feel a lot more involved with the whole experience because instead of kissing Rutger back because it was part of her job, she kissed him back because she wanted to and it felt right to her. And once Rutger felt she was into it the two of them started going at it with their lips locked tightly together, only breaking apart for short moments so they could pant and breathe every now and then. Slowly but surely as they were making out Rutger was sliding his hands down Anna's body until he took a hold of her butt with each side in one hand. He did this in preparation for what he wanted to do next.
"You ready for a ride Anna?" He smirked devilishly down at her.
"You think you can handle me big guy?" She teased him back.
"We're about to find out now aren't we?" Rutger replied back. "Hold on tight." And with that he lifted Anna up by her hips and she quickly helped him by wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist before they started kissing and making out once again. But this time there was the added temptation of Rutger's tip teasing Anna's pussy as they moved around trying to find the best position. Eventually they got into a workable position and Rutger held Anna's hips in his hands as his dick was primed any ready to take the plunge inside her tight body. "Hey, before we start, I just want to let you know, this isn't my first time, but I am still a bit new at all this. So keep that in mind."
"Could have fooled me." Anna breathed in expectation. "But honestly, same. So let's just do what feels good and worry about how long we last later. Besides, I brought some potions along that should keep us going for a while if we want."
"Very thoughtful of you Anna." Rutger breathed back.
"Well, it was your parent's idea actually, but I signed off on it." Anna teased him. "Oh, and don't worry about pulling out. I took a potion that keeps me safe before you showed up."
"I don't think I was going to be able to even if I tried." Rutger admitted. "But that's good to know." Then he whispered the next part into her ear. "Because I'm planning on seeing my seed drip out of you I'm going to give you so much."
"Fuck, that's hot." Anna admitted before looking Rutger in the eyes. "Well, what are you waiting for, give it to me." And that's all Rutger needed to hear before pushing Anna's hips down and piercing her with his cock. Anna moaned out loudly from the pleasure and as most people thought when they were in this lake, she was glad they were out here alone so she could be as loud as she wanted. But, to both of their expectations, since they were going so hot and heavy with this first go around it didn't take long for them to reach their climaxes. But it felt amazing for the both of them nonetheless. It was the best sex either of them had experienced in their short window of sexual activity and the feelings were going to stick with them for a while. As he promised Rutger shot his seed deep into Anna's womb before gently letting her down off his dick and helping her stand back in the shallow part of the lake.
"Hmm, not quite dripping out just yet." Rutger breathed as he took a step back to see his work. "Are you okay to keep going Anna?"
"Rutger, any woman lucky enough to bag you as a husband is going to be one lucky girl." Anna panted as she got her feet back under her.
"I take that as a yes?" Rutger asked with a promising look.
"You should take it as a 'hell yes' honestly." Anna told him with a bit of a lustful look in her eye. So they took the potions she brought and they continued to fuck all over the lake. A blowjob on top of the rocks, doggystyle in the water to try and stay a bit clean, anal as Anna held on tightly to a tree on the banks of the lake, they did it all. They didn't even need snacks because the potions kept them going without needing food for longer, and they had all the water they needed to drink in the lake itself. Eventually though the potions ran out and the two of them were laid out on one of the sandy banks of the lake, just trying to catch their breaths from everything they had done.
"The stars look so pretty out here as well, this really is the perfect romantic spot out here on the plains isn't it?" Anna eventually said when she could think again. They had been going on so long that the sun had set and the stars were out in force as usual.
"Yeah, I'm definitely taking someone special here once I find that special someone for me." Rutger agreed. After a bit more silence the two of them sat up and looked at each other and Rutger motioned for Anna to sit in his lap to relax more. "Today was wonderful Anna, a very strange but very enjoyable birthday present. So thank you for being willing to come and do this with me."
"Hey, I should probably be thanking you, you really helped me get past being nervous about my first job." Anna admitted as she snuggled up to Rutger's back a bit more for warmth. "Though something tells me not all my customers are going to be as thoughtful as you."
"Yeah, but I'm sure a good number of them will." Rutger noted. "Annas are very respected in most societies, so you've got a leg up on most people."
"True, but you looked past that and asked about me personally, I really appreciated that honestly." Anna told him.
"Well, that's what a gentleman and a knight does right?" Rutger pondered.
"I guess that makes sense." Anna stated. "But what I do know is that you are a very interesting person Rutger, and a very thoughtful one as well. I'm going to remember this day for a while."
"Me too, me too." Rutger said slowly before they felt into a comfortable silence. Though a bit later a though passed into Rutger's head. "Hey, do you have a place to stay tonight?"
"I have a tent and supplies I brought with me." Anna replied.
"Would you like to stay overnight with me and my family then?" Rutger offered. "We have a spare room and I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind since they set all this up. And you'd probably get some free breakfast out of it as well."
"You really know how to speak the Anna language, don't you?" Anna commented with a laugh. "But alright, I'll take you up on that offer. Just let me get my supplies in order and we can head over there." So Rutger let her stand up but before she could move too far away he stood up as well and held her close again.
"Just one more kiss, to cap things off?" He asked.
"Of course." Anna agreed and the two of them kissed tenderly, maybe even slightly romantically, before drifting apart and getting Anna's supplies. After that they made their way to the ger and they were trying to be quiet since they didn't know if Mark and Lyn were sleeping or not, but when they got inside they saw they were being waited for and smelled some food cooking in the kitchen.
"Welcome back!" Mark greeted them. "We figured you might invite Anna to stay the night, so we delayed making dinner so she could have some as well."
"Mashed potatoes with butter and bread, if you're interested." Lyn called from the kitchen. All Anna could do was just turn to Rutger and give him a smile.
"Tomorrow when we wake up, you're getting one for free."
