Chapter 48 -- Recruitment
*****
Delphine and I departed the next day after Isran told us who to find. Our first target was a man named Gunmar. He apparently lived in Markarth. Our other target was a woman named Sorine Jurard. Isran hadn't been able to pin down her exact location but suggested Gunmar may have a good idea.
It was a two-day journey across the south of Skyrim. The first day was rather quiet between Delphine and I, she being rather tentative to start any sort of conversation. It wasn't surprising considering how our conversation the previous night had gone. There were still feelings involved, probably from both of us, and I still found her attractive. But it was hard to think positively considering her thoughts regarding matters.
Our first night in camp was interesting. I say that because it was obvious, to me at least, that Delphine wanted things to continue from before. I wasn't particularly interested in resuming even a physical relationship, though if she was suggestive enough, or gave me enough booze that I changed my mind, then perhaps it would happen as my main fault is that I love to fuck. Though we chatted over the campfire and enjoyed a bottle of wine, nothing untoward happened as we went to bed in our own tents.
Memories of Markarth were generally painful for a variety of reasons, so I wanted to be in and out rather quickly. However, after finding Gunmar's residence, and knocking at his door a few times, a neighbour told us that he'd left a couple of days prior. The neighbour was full of information, suggesting that he was tracking a bear responsible for some recent attacks around the Hold.
It took us another day to find him, sat on a rock with the entrance to a rather ominous looking cave nearby. Dismounting, we approached him and he immediately advised caution, as the bear he'd been chasing was in the nearby cave. When I introduced myself and told him we were from the Dawnguard, I think he almost burst into laughter.
"Isran? Needing someone else's help? Never thought I'd hear that. I'm afraid he's a few years too late. I've moved on. I have more important business to attend to. Besides, he can handle anything alone! He assured me so himself. What could he possibly need my help with?"
"Vampires."
That one word definitely gained his attention. "Oh... Well, that certainly isn't good news. Tell you what, you help me with this bear and I'll join you."
"Not so fast. We need to find someone else."
"Let me guess. Sorine?" I nodded, the big man smiled in return. "Ah, should have known. Isran must be worried if he's wanting both our help." He then looked me up and down. "Who are you anyway?"
"Ragnar. I'm also the Dragonborn."
"The Dragon..." He held out a hand, grasping each other by the forearm. "Well met, kinsman."
"This is Delphine. She is a former Blade and also part of the Dawnguard."
Shaking her hand, he did ask, "I thought they were all dead?"
"Most of us are. A few of us managed to survive."
"Aye. That's some good news. Anyway, this bear. Think you can help?"
"Sure, lead the way."
As we entered carefully, Gunmar explained the bear had been attacking travellers for weeks and clearly had the taste for human blood. He also believed the bear was likely part of a pack, so we'd best be careful. I assured him that, if needs be, I'd just use my gift to ensure we didn't die.
The bear he'd been tracking was enormous, the largest bear I'd ever seen. And he had friends. Four of them, and it was clear they looked at we three humans and saw another meal. Before Gunmar thought about just running and charging, I used my Thu'um twice, first blowing them backwards before setting them alight with flame. I won't say the fight was easy. None of us escaped without injury. But the five bears lay dead by the end and we managed to stagger out, dripping with both blood and sweat.
"Glad you showed up, Dragonborn. Don't think I could have taken them alone," Gunmar stated, taking a seat on a rock.
"Aye, never seen bears that big before."
We sat in silence, drinking some water, feeling sweat or blood drip down various places of my body. Glancing at Delphine, she had a couple of grazes along her arms, otherwise she looked okay. Gunmar didn't have a horse with him, but had one back in Markarth, so we headed back there first. It was dark by the time we walked through the gates. He didn't have any spare rooms available, so Delphine and I headed to the Silver Blood Inn, where it got awkward, as they only had one room available.
Gunmar did join us for dinner and a few drinks before he returned home, agreeing to meet at dawn. He had a vague idea of where Sorine might be working, but he figured we might be on the road for a day or two. Once he departed, Delphine and I headed to our room. At least we had a double, but sharing a bed was always going to be awkward, particularly once we both started to undress.
Down to my underwear, that's when she made her move, striding towards me before running her hands up and down my chest. "Been a while since we've been like this," she stated softly.
"Aye, it has. You still have quite the body on you, Delphine."
Reaching into my underwear, she gently grabbed and started to stroke my cock. There was an immediate reaction as I just looked down at her. "I know with everything that happened..."
"What do you want, Delphine?"
"What I want is to suck this cock of yours, Ragnar, then I want you to fuck my arse. And I mean hard."
I couldn't help chuckle. "What, some sort of punishment?"
"I know it'll never be like it was. I'm figuring you're angry with me, so I'm thinking an angry fuck..." She met my eyes as she asked, "Interested?"
I leaned down and kissed her hard on the lips, her hand quickly moving from my cock so she could wrap both arms around me. I returned the gesture, pulling her towards me. It was the wrong thing to do. I knew we shouldn't be resuming... Breaking the kiss, I had to tell her. "We do this, we don't tell anyone. I don't like lying but the reaction..."
"I don't plan on seeing any of them again, Ragnar. I will help the Dawnguard then do what I need to do otherwise. All I want now is your cock inside me."
"Okay." I kissed her again, underwear was quickly removed, and she ended up on her knees, licking up and down my shaft. "You were always very good at this, Delphine."
"Aye, I was. And I'm hoping you'll give me a load soon enough."
Watching her swallow my cock, she was always going to get one, but she took her time trying to bring me off, seeming to just enjoy having my length in her mouth again. I certainly wasn't going to complain about that. "Gods," I groaned.
Resting my cock against her cheek, she looked up and smiled, before she resumed. Reaching around the back of her head, I didn't thrust into her mouth but she did let me control her head. Whatever she was doing, it was driving me wild, and I warned her rather quickly that I was going to cum. She seemed to clamp her lips around my shaft as I started to gently thrust into her mouth, and she received what she wanted soon enough, groaning loudly as I emptied myself.
"Fucking hell," I stated, my legs immediately feeling weak. She happily moaned and audibly gulped before she removed her mouth, though licked up and down my shaft, cleaning up any residual cum.
"Forgot how good you taste, Ragnar." Stroking my shaft, she added, "And it looks like you've stayed quite hard."
"Bring oil?" She blushed immediately, so I asked, "Did you plan this?"
"Not like this but I was hoping to get my arse fucked eventually. If it took too long, I was just going to be blunt and offer it to you on a plate."
"Want your pussy eaten first?"
"By the Nine, yes," she whispered.
So she laid back on the bed, spread her legs nice and wide, her pussy already glistening under the candlelight. I kissed her first before moving down her body, giving her breasts plenty of attention, before finally tasting her once again. She moaned loudly, keeping her legs nice and wide, though urging me on to eat her out and make her cum.
I remembered her body well, particularly what she liked. I wanted to get her off fast and more than once. Sliding a couple of fingers into her, that drove her nuts, and once I found her spot, I made her cum even quicker than I expected. "So fucking horny," she moaned.
"That's a good thing," I stated before continuing to pleasure her.
"One more, then focus on my arse, Ragnar. I love it when you do that."
That sounded like a fine idea, so once I made her cum again, I flipped her over and started on her arse while coating my cock in oil at the same time. She could see what I was doing and made sure she was on all fours. I ate her for a little while before she practically begged me to fuck her.
Sitting back, she rubbed her arse against my cock, looking back with the smirk I remembered rather well. Pushing her forward, I prodded her with my cock, and she pushed back, desperate for me to enter her. So I gave her arse a hard slap. "Good things come to those who wait, Delphine."
"Please, Ragnar," she begged.
I leaned forward, running my cock against her crack as I leaned close to her ear. "How much do you want it?"
"Like nothing else, Ragnar. More than I want my next breath." She paused. "I've missed you fucking my arse constantly."
She pushed back, and I managed to blindly slide my cock into her. She gasped as, while I tried to do it gently, I didn't let her get used to it. I didn't slam it in, but I slid my full length into her rather quickly. "Oh fuck," she groaned. I buried myself rather quickly and let her at least get used to it. "Holy shit, you feel as big as ever."
"Ready?"
"Fuck me hard, Ragnar. I want it to hurt."
