The walk back from the Galen Hot Springs to the Forest-Edge Compound was quiet, wrapped in the cool embrace of the midnight air.
The cobblestone streets of the comrcial district were empty, leaving only the sound of Klaus’s boots echoing against the stone.
He walked at a steady pace and resting securely on his back was Zephyra. The disguised royal had been so relaxed by the steamy volcanic water and the lingering tension in the spring that she had fallen asleep the mont they stepped out of the bathhouse lobby.
Her arms were wrapped loosely around his neck with her soft breaths tickling his collarbone and a tiny trail of drool rested on the fabric of his shirt.
Klaus didn’t mind carrying her.
She didn’t weigh much, and after fighting a massive Were-Hound earlier in the day, this was a simple task.
They reached the tall rune-carved walls of their new ho.
Klaus unlocked the iron gate and pushed open the oak front doors, stepping into the dark silent foyer.
He bypassed the living room and walked straight down the main hallway toward the residential wing.
He stopped in front of the ornate double doors of the Master Suite.
Klaus carefully pushed them open with his foot and walked inside the cavernous room.
The moonlight shined through the large glass window, illuminating the massive mahogany bed.
He gently lowered Zephyra onto the plush mattress pulling the thick crimson comforter over her shoulders.
"Hubby... Yes right there..."
She mumbled sothing in her sleep, nuzzling deep into the pillows, and clutched him. Klaus didn’t pull away, instead he sat beside her bed for ten long minutes before she let go of him.
He couldn’t risk her waking up and dragging him to stay...
Klaus stepped out of the room, leaving the door slightly ajar and he took a mont to check on the rest of his party.
’It sure was relaxing, I can’t lie about that... and I feel a bit sleepy.’
He pushed open the door to room three silently.
Mirela was curled up in the center of her bed, hugging a fluffy white pillow tight against her chest.
Her goat ears twitched softly in her sleep, and a peaceful smile rested on her lips.
’Mirela really is cute... Hehe~’
He moved to the next door and Serra was laying on her back with a thick blanket pulled up to her waist.
A small open romance novel was resting right on her chest, rising and falling with her slow breaths.
Her glasses were sliding down the bridge of her nose.
Klaus walked in silently, picked the glasses off her face, and placed them neatly on the wooden nightstand before leaving.
Finally, he peeked into the first room on the right.
Taula was in her bed, facing the wall. Her blond hair was splayed wildly across the pillow.
She looked dead to the world, exhausted from the dungeon raid and the hot spring.
Satisfied that his entire team was safe and resting, Klaus walked down the hall to his own space.
Room number five was dark and quiet.
’Just like I want it to be.’
Klaus closed the sturdy oak door behind him while enjoying the privacy. He took off his boots, setting them by the wardrobe, and removed his shirt, tossing it onto a nearby chair.
Wearing only his dark trousers, he walked over to the center of the wooden floor.
Klaus took a deep breath.
He crossed his legs and sank down onto the floorboards, getting into a familiar ditative stance.
He closed his eyes while focusing his mind inward.
He could feel the passive energy of Beast’s Vitality pulsing through his veins, accelerating his stamina recovery and soothing the minor aches in his joints.
All he wanted to do was dive into his soul space to check the stone monunts and perhaps talk to Valeria for a few minutes before sleeping.
He gathered his mana, preparing to make the transition.
Click!
The brass doorknob turned and he could hear it since the sound was incredibly loud in the silent room.
Klaus opened his eyes, dropping his ditative stance instantly.
The sturdy oak door opened just wide enough for a person to slip through, and then it was pushed shut with the lock clicked into place.
Standing with her back against the wooden door was Taula.
She wasn’t wearing her armor or her casual town clothes. She was wearing a very small thin cotton nightgown.
The fabric barely reached her mid-thigh, clinging to her athletic fra and leaving her toned muscular arms and legs exposed to the cool air of the bedroom.
Klaus looked up at her from his spot on the floor and he raised an eyebrow while sighing.
"I thought you were asleep," Klaus said. "I just checked your room two minutes ago and you were facing the wall."
Taula kept her back pressed against the locked door.
She fidgeted with the hem of her nightgown, wrapping the thin fabric around her fingers.
A bright red flush was already creeping up her neck, painting her cheeks.
"I was pretending," Taula admitted with her voice unusually soft. "I heard you walking down the hall, so I closed my eyes. I wanted to wait until everyone else was definitely asleep before I ca over here."
Klaus uncrossed his legs and stood up.
The wooden floorboards creaked slightly under his bare feet. He didn’t walk toward her right away, giving her space.
"Why are you awake?" Klaus asked gently. "We had a long day... You fought a boss, carried us through the twenty-first floor, and then sat in a hot spring for an hour. I an you should be exhausted."
"I am tired," Taula replied, looking down at her bare toes. "But I couldn’t sleep. My mind kept racing... Every ti I closed my eyes, I just kept thinking about the hot spring. I kept thinking about... what you showed us."
Klaus felt a small prickle of embarrassnt at the mory, but he held his ground.
"Well next ti you shouldn’t tease like that..."
"I know," Taula breathed out.
She finally looked up with her green eyes locking onto his.
The nervous hesitation in her gaze slowly mixed with determination.
"And I ant what I said on the street on the way back... I’m not here to play another ga, Klaus."
She let go of her nightgown and took a slow step forward into the room.
"I want to have sex." Taula announced.
Her voice was blunt and direct which was how Taula was...
Klaus looked at her.
He could see the slight tremble in her hands, the way her chest rose and fell with rapid breaths.
This wasn’t a joke, and it wasn’t a ga to provoke Zephyra.
This was real... She was putting all her cards on the table, making herself entirely vulnerable to his answer.
’She really ans it.’ Klaus thought then he let out a long quiet sigh.
He closed the remaining distance between them, stopping just a foot away from her.
"Well like I said back in Rivera... I don’t mind," Klaus told her. "But you know... you’re supposed to do this with soone you really like. Not just because we share a house, and not just because you want to beat the other girls to it. You shouldn’t throw this away just to prove a point, Taula."
Taula’s eyes widened slightly. She shook her head, taking another step forward until she was right in his personal space.
"I am not trying to prove a point..." Taula whispered while jabbing a finger at his chest without actually touching. "I like you... I like you really much, Klaus..."
She reached out, her warm hands resting hesitantly against his bare chest.
"I was too loud and too reckless... Everyone just saw as a brute with an axe but you didn’t care. Whenever I am with you, I feel safe. I don’t have to pretend to be the strongest warrior all the ti... I just want to stay with you."
She looked up with her green eyes shining in the moonlight. "I want to be yours."
Klaus stared into her eyes.
She wasn’t an NPC... She wasn’t just a party mber... She was a girl offering him her heart and a fond smile touched his lips.
He reached out and gently placed his hands over hers, pressing her palms flat against his chest so she could feel his heartbeat.
Well, he liked Taula too.
"Once we do this, then you better not leave," Klaus said firmly. "Promise?"
Taula let out a genuine laugh with the nervous tension shattering in an instant.
A single tear pricked the corner of her eye, but she blinked it away with a bright beautiful grin.
"Have I ever left you before?... I want to be yours. I promise..." Taula asked while bobbing her head left and right.
Klaus laughed with her. "Fair point."
Taula sniffled, reaching into the small pocket of her nightgown.
"I have a gift... I bought it a while ago and I was just waiting for the right ti to give it to you."
She pulled out two matching silver rings.
They were simple elegant bands inscribed with small runes that caught the silver moonlight streaming through the window.
Taula took a deep breath with her hands shaking slightly as she held the larger ring out toward him.
"I want to put this on your finger," she said softly. "And I want you to put the other one on mine."
Klaus didn’t hesitate.
He held his left hand out.
Taula carefully slid the cold silver band down his ring finger in front of Zephyra’s ring and it fit perfectly with the tal warming up instantly against his skin.
Klaus took the smaller ring from her palm.
He took her left hand, tracing the calluses on her palm earned from how long she had put into swinging an axe, and slid the silver ring onto her finger.
They looked at their hands with the matching silver shining in the dark.
"Do you... like it?" Taula asked and Klaus nodded.
"I do, it’s really cute."
’Haah~’
Taula looked up at him with the nervous hesitation gone.
The fierce fire returned to her green eyes as she grabbed the waist of his dark trousers and pulled him backward toward the center of the room where the bed was.
She climbed onto the edge of the large bed with her knees sinking into the soft mattress.
Klaus stepped between her legs, placing his hands on her hips and then he leaned in, tilting his head, and captured her lips.
SMACK!
The kiss was wet and incredibly deep.
Taula gasped into his mouth with her arms imdiately wrapping around his neck to pull him closer.
CHU!
’He’s so warm...’ Taula thought with her mind spinning as his tongue slid past her lips, exploring her mouth. ’It feels so good... I’ve never felt this before... I don’t want him to stop...’
Klaus kissed her with a slow rhythm, letting her taste him.
He pulled back just a fraction of an inch, kissing the corner of her mouth, and then trailed his lips down her jawline.
"Mmh~" Taula moaned softly with her eyes fluttering shut.
Klaus pressed his mouth against the sensitive skin of her neck and he sucked gently, biting down just enough to leave a mark without drawing blood.
SLURP!
"Nnh~ Klaus~" Taula breathed out with her back arching as a sudden jolt of electricity shot straight down her spine.
Her fingers dug into his dark hair, gripping the strands tightly.
’My tummy feels so weird...’ Taula thought with her breathing growing ragged.
It felt good when he bit down like that... It felt like he was marking his property.
Klaus moved his hands up from her hips.
He hooked his thumbs under the thin fragile straps of her cotton nightgown then he pushed them outward pulling the fabric down her arms.
’These Nightgowns are quite literally the sa thing with the ones back on Earth.’ He thought.
The nightgown pooled around her waist, exposing her bare chest to the cool air.
Her breasts were full, firm and rising rapidly with her panting breaths. The pink peaks hardened instantly as the cold air touched them.
"Hehe~ They look cute..."
Klaus didn’t make her wait. He lowered his head and took her right breast into his mouth.
SHLUCK!
"Ah!" Taula cried out with a loud startled moan escaping her lips.
Klaus sucked the soft flesh, his tongue swirling expertly around the sensitive peak.
He used his right hand to cup and massage her left breast, squeezing the warm weight while rolling the nipple between his thumb and index finger.
SLURP! SMACK!
The wet sounds of his mouth filled the quiet bedroom.
"Haan~ Klaus! That feels~ Mmh~" Taula stamred with her words lting into a string of breathless moans.
She couldn’t form a coherent sentence. All her warrior training, all her incredible pain tolerance, was entirely useless against this kind of assault.
’It feels too good,’ Taula’s internal voice scread. ’His mouth is so hot! My le-legs...’
Klaus switched sides, letting out a hot breath against her wet skin before capturing her left breast.
He sucked harder this ti, creating a tight vacuum that made Taula throw her head back against the pillows.
SHLUCK!
"Ahhh~ Yes~ Please~" she whined with her hips bucking upward off the mattress, seeking a friction she couldn’t quite reach.
Klaus pulled away from her chest with a thin string of saliva connecting his lips to her skin before it snapped.
’Wow... She’s really sensitive...’ Klaus thought as he looked down at her flushed beautiful face.
Her green eyes were glazed over with lust and her lips parted as she panted for air. He hadn’t even started yet...
"You know... you’re really beautiful, Taula." Klaus whispered.
Taula shivered at the complint with a fresh wave of heat pooling directly between her legs.
Klaus grabbed the bunched-up fabric of her nightgown resting around her waist.
He pulled it all the way down, sliding it off her legs and tossing it onto the floor.
She was completely naked, wearing nothing but the silver ring on her left hand.
"Haa~ Klaus, it feels cold..."
Klaus moved his hands down her toned stomach, tracing the lines of her abdominal muscles until he reached the blonde curls resting between her thighs.
The scent of her arousal was sweet and intoxicating in the dark room and he parted her thighs, pushing her legs wide open.
Taula gasped while instinctively trying to close her legs as a sudden rush of shyness hit her.
"W-wait, Klaus. You’re going to look down there?"
"I am going to do a lot more than look..." Klaus promised as he leaned down, burying his face directly between her thighs.
Taula let out a piercing shriek biting down on her own knuckle to muffle the sound.
Klaus found her center.
She was already incredibly slick with her natural juices soaking the delicate pink folds.
He didn’t use his fingers yet... He just darted his tongue out and dragged it in a long agonizingly slow stripe right up her slit.
SLOSH!
"HIIIE~!" Taula squeaked with her entire body jerking on the mattress.
Her hands flew down, grabbing the bedsheets on either side of her hips and twisting the fabric into tight knots.
Klaus tasted her.
She tasted like sweet nectar and salt so he dove back in, pressing his face firmly against her wetness.
He began to eat her out with a relentless starving pace.
SHLICK! SLURP! SHLICK!
"Klaus! Ahhh~ What are you~ Nnnn~!"
He found a small, swollen pearl of flesh hidden near the top and he focused entirely on it.
He sucked it into his mouth, flicking his tongue against the sensitive nerve endings rapidly while pulling on it gently with his lips.
SLOSH! SHLUCK!
’I’m going crazy!’ Taula thought with her vision blurring at the edges. ’There’s too much pleasure! It’s building up! It’s going to explode!’
"Haaaa~ Haaa~ Ple~"
Klaus didn’t stop.
He pushed two fingers deep inside her wet canal, thrusting them in and out in rhythm with his tongue.
She was incredibly tight with her internal muscles clamping down around his fingers like a vise.
SHLICK! SLOSH! SHLICK!
The wet sounds of his mouth and fingers echoed loudly, drowning out everything else in the room.
Taula couldn’t hold back anymore.
The pleasure overloaded her senses, tearing through her nervous system like a wild storm and she arched her back off the mattress with her toes curling tightly.
"Ahhh~ Klaus! I’m~ Haan~ I feel weird~!"
She visibly shuddered with her thighs clamping tightly around Klaus’s ears as her orgasm hit her like a punch.
A sudden massive rush of slick fluids poured out of her, soaking his fingers and his mouth.
"Klausssss~"
She cried out his na with her voice sweet and musical in the dark as the intense waves of pleasure wracked her body.
She continued to spasm for several long seconds with her chest heaving as she gasped for air.
Klaus didn’t pull away imdiately.
He took his ti, lapping up the sweet, ssy fluids she had released, cleaning her up with gentle soothing strokes of his tongue.
SMACK!
He finally pulled back, smacking his lips.
Klaus wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, tasting the lingering flavor of her arousal then he crawled up the bed, resting his weight on his forearms as he looked down at her.
Taula was laying flat on the mattress while panting hard.
Her blond hair was plastered to her sweaty forehead, her face was flushed a deep beautiful red, and her green eyes were half-lidded from the intense orgasm.
She looked wrecked, adorable, and entirely satisfied.
For a minute, neither of them spoke then, Taula slowly propped herself up on her elbows.
Her chest rose and fell as she regained her bearings.
She looked at Klaus’s face with a soft loving smile resting on her lips but then, her gaze naturally trailed downward.
She looked past his chest, past his stomach, and her green eyes landed directly on the front of his dark trousers.
The fabric was tented aggressively.
The hard thick bulge of his exposed crotch was pushing against the cloth, practically throbbing in the dim light.
He had spent the entire ti pleasuring her, and his own arousal had reached a breaking point.
Taula stared at it.
The mory of what she had seen in the hot spring flashed through her mind, making her pulse race all over again.
She slowly licked her lips with a hungry determined look returning to her eyes.
She reached out, her fingers brushing lightly against the waist of his trousers.
"I-I want to pleasure you too..." Taula stuttered.
