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.
