Chapter 5
The Demon at Sea
A small clipper ship off the coast of the New England Colonies
James awoke on a bed in a small room. His chest was no longer hurting, but the room felt like it was moving and swirling around. He sat up and then tried to stand and head for the door of the room. As the room moved side to side and lurched one way and then the other, he began to suspect the room was actually moving. As he opened the door of the cabin, he saw the rolling sea and his hunch was confirmed.
Knowing he was at sea helped his mind and body line back up. Soon he had his sea legs beneath him. Dove, Bridgett, Jane, and Ash were all on the deck of the ship and moved towards him. They all pulled him back into his cabin and laid him back in his bed. Only then did James realize that he was completely nude.
"James, you need to rest," said Ash holding him down on the bed gently.
"She's right James," began Bridgett. "You may feel like it, but you aren't fully healed yet. You won't be until Beltane. I had a vision and we then studied the ritual more in some of our books and found that a holiday would be needed to complete the spell." She held his hand.
"You have to stop dying on us James," said Jane leaning down and kissing him.
"Yes, our fun has just begun," Dove joked rubbing his leg.
The women were all standing around the bed and revived memories in James' head of the ritual they had completed before he blacked out. He started to get hard thinking about it. The women were all wearing matching white dresses with embroidered blue patterns. They all wore black belts around their waists. Dove had unbraided her long dark hair, but still had a single feather in it.
"What's with the dresses?" asked James.
"It appears that trouble is on the horizon, quite literally," answered Bridgett. "The ship's captain Finn is a bit of what I guess you would call an aquamancer. He sails this ship without a crew. He has mastered the art of magical sailing. He also has gained a great deal of wisdom when it comes to the weather. He senses that the storm coming our way is something supernatural. We suspect it is the Orders doing. Their spies must have watched us board the ship to sail for Baltimore."
"So, the dresses?" James asked again.
"Well," Ash chimed in her green eyes smiling down at him. "We have researched what we could and we believe an elemental demon of some sort has been set upon us. We must perform a ritual to get the demon to name itself and then we may be able to contain it or defeat it."
"The dresses are part of the ritual. Do you like them?" Jane asked and spun around. Her dress raised up almost to where James could see the naughty bits teasing him. He looked around at all the women taking in the dresses. They were damp with the sea spray and somewhat translucent. James realized he could see the outlines of all of their nipples and their mounds of pubic hair. He felt his exposed cock getting harder.
"I think that's your answer," he joked looking down at his cock.
The girls giggled. Ash reached out and stroked his cock softly. James moaned.
"Unfortunately, no orgasms for you until Beltane," said Ash as she removed her hand from his cock.
"What? Why?" said James. He was getting used to the regular sexual escapades of the Coven.
"Unfortunately, when doing her studying," Dove responded twirling her long dark hair with a finger. "Bridgett found that if you cum before Beltane at midnight, the healing spell will reverse and you will likely die. Looks like I was your last lay for a while." She smiled at him and rubbed his chest teasingly. It wasn't helping his cock soften up.
"Well then you all better stop teasing me," James half-jokingly commanded.
"Afraid not," smiled Jane. "You also have to stay aroused regularly or the healing could also reverse." She reached down and squeezed his balls gently.
Lightning struck outside the small cabin window and thunder crashed almost immediately.
"Ash come with me we must make the final preparations with Finn," Bridgett ordered. "Jane and Dove keep James happy, but don't let him cum."
Bridgett and Ash walked outside the cabin. Dove and Jane got on either side of James and laid next to him on the bed. Dove moved in to kiss him and he felt her also grab around his hard cock. She lightly stroked it. He felt Jane nuzzling his neck and her foot rubbing up and down his leg as she started to squeeze his testicles softly.
"Mmm, careful girls," James moaned trying to remember not to give in fully. He did want to stay alive.
Outside the cabin at the wheel of the clipper ship, Ash and Bridgett stood next to the captain Finn. He was an old man with the long golden hair of someone that had red hair earlier in life and a long golden beard that still had some red in it. Although old he still had the strength of youth and stood tall and barrel chested. As he steered the rudder with the wheel, he made motions with his hands and muttered incantations controlling the sails without touching a single rope.
"The demon approaches ladies," He spoke with the gravelly voice of a lifelong pipe smoking sailor. "I think all the symbols are ready on the deck. You must spread the salt, light the lanterns, and then I suggest you begin the ritual. Bring the other man on deck. He will stand as the witness. I will join in once the goddess has imbued her vessel with the strength."
"Very well," said Bridgett. "Ash is going to be the vessel. This will be her first time being imbued with the power as is required. We appreciated your service Finn and your help with the ritual."
"Anything for you Filia," He answered bowing slightly and referring to her by her shortened Coven name. As he rose back up Bridgett pecked him on the cheek, Ash followed and did the same. They started getting back to work.
Inside the cabin, Dove and Jane were taking turns licking the head of James hard cock. Jane held his cock and Dove lick the frenulum of his dick lightly. Once she had done it for a minute. She stopped and grabbed his cock then after letting it start to soften only slightly Jane did the same. Precum leaked from the tip of his cock and Jane licked it off.
"He might be getting a bit too close," said Jane. "How else can we keep him arouse?" She thought out loud.
"Perhaps he would enjoy a show," said Dove looking up at James. He nodded his head in agreement.
The ladies put pillows at the head of the bed and James sat up on them. At the foot of the bed the girls both jumped on the bed and knelt facing each other. Jane wrapped her arms around Dove's body and grabbed her strong tight ass while gently kissing her on the lips. Dove kissed her back while moving her hands up Jane's chest and squeezing her large tits through the light white linen dress. James could see Janes large dark nipples harden through the fabric of the dress and looking at Dove's ample chest he saw her nipples harden as well.
James reached down and slowly started rubbing his hardening cock. Jane took one hand off of Dove's ass and slapped James's leg.
"No touching," Jane said. She stopped kissing Dove only long enough to shout her command and then went back to kissing. Her hands bunched up Dove's dress exposing her tight honey brown ass and placed her hands on her bare skin groping it.
Dove pulled from Jane's kiss and pushed Jane gently back. Jane spread her legs and Dove pushed Jane's dress up exposing her pussy and strip of dark pubic hair. She slowly started rubbing her fingers around the outer labia of Jane's vulva. Jane moaned lightly. Jane widened her legs. Her foot rubbed against James' stiff dick. Once Jane realized her foot was against his cock, she rubbed her foot up and down the front of it. James was enjoying watching Dove's hard ass as she slipped a finger into Jane's wet slit. If Jane wasn't careful, she was going to make him cum.
As James was starting to forget that an orgasm would kill him, Ash opened the door of the cabin.
"Sorry ladies, save it for the ritual," she joked raising her eyebrow at the sight before her. "Everything is ready; it's time to begin." Jane and Dove stood, straightened their dresses, and walked towards to door. Ash helped James up and guided him outside by his hard cock, using it like a leash. She guided him to the main mast of the ship.
"I'm afraid we have to tie you up," she apologized and the women all began wrapping him with ropes.
"Sounds exciting." James smirked.
They wrapped around his chest and then around his stomach. The rope made it so his arms were stuck completely by his sides. They wrapped around his ankles and then around his groin. His ass was tight against the mast, but they let his hard cock stick out between the ropes. It was a bit uncomfortable, but he kind of liked it.
The sky was getting considerably darker and without the lanterns all around the ship it would be quite dark. The waves were getting rougher, rain had started to fall, and ocean poured over the ship as waves broke on the bow. The linen dresses were all but see-through at this point. Watching the women prepare in their translucent garment was keeping James pretty hard.
James could see that several symbols had been painted on the deck of the ship. The women stood in the middle of what looked like an octagram made up of two perfect squares turned one on top of the other to make a star. Around the octagram runic symbols and various other types of stars had been painted. In the middle of the octagram there was a triangle.
Finn stood on a platform behind the mast and everyone in the octagram, steering the ship through the treacherous waves. As the women began their ceremony, he disrobed and stood naked in the storm, water running down his old but toned body. There was a lighter colored cloud in the distance that was slowly moving towards them. James looked at it and thought he could see a face in the cloud. Surely, he was imagining it he thought.
The ceremony began and the women held hands slowly walking in the counterclockwise circle within the octagram. Bridgett began the chant and the others quickly joined.
"Hecate give us strength,
Defeat our foe at any length,
