The brothel is often frequented by adventurers and wayfarers of varying kinds and descriptions, many of them mercenaries, soldiers, guards, strong men. Eda has been here before, has sipped shyly at his drink from his position at the bar and watched them come in and out, the different men and women and others too - elves and humans, orcs and dwarves, others besides.
This evening, the ones who catch his eye are the wolfmen, a pack of them - the four of them are each of them seven and a half feet tall at the shoulder, and Eda's mouth goes dry as he takes them in. Two of them have brown fur and brown eyes, one of them lighter in colour with a greyer undertone, the other in a darker, richer brown; one's hair is flinty grey, in contrast to his bright yellow eyes; the fourth's fur is pure black, and his eyes are a darker brown than the others'. They mostly don't armour their chests or backs, because the muscle and fat packed on them is so thick and under such deep thatches of heavy fur that it's hard for most blades to penetrate.
The armour they do wear is where the fur is thinner, or on their joints - they wear pauldrons over their shoulders and the brown ones have armour on their upper arms; the grey one is wearing gauntlets to protect his forearms and the backs of his hands even though his claws are free; all four of them are wearing leather skirts, and while they don't wear boots, they have more armour around their ankles or over the tops of their feet.
Their paws are mostly free to let them run and move freely.
Eda's mouth is dry, looking at them as they move, at their weapons - heavy maces for the lighter brown one and the grey one; a greatsword slung on the back of the darker brown one; the black one carries a sword and shield.
An attendant takes their weapons from them to stow in the lockers at the brothel's entrance, and after some conversation, the four of them begin to strip off the rest, too, until their kilts are aside, all their armoured pieces.
All four of them are left naked, except for the jewellery some of them still have - the grey one has his ears pierced, has two gold rings hanging from one ear and another from the other; the black one has a crystal necklace hanging around his neck, the pale blue of it glittering in the dark fur on his chest.
Eda can't take his eyes away from each of their cocks - they swing thick and heavy between each of their legs, their huge balls swaying too, and Eda can see the thick bump at the base of each cock. Knots, big ones, once they're hard, Eda expects.
As a line of four, they stand in a row and look at the wall.
It's a quiet brothel, compared to most, here in the main hall - there are a group of other men drinking in the corner, laughing together, and a group of other mercenaries chuckling as they play over a table. The table is on wheels, and one of the whores is inside - their tits and their cock poke through gaps in the tops of the table, and now and then one of the mercenaries will play with their cock or tweak their nipples, touching them, manipulating them.
Up on the wall are a series of about twenty tiles, each the far end of a box on wheels just like that: poking through each gap is an ass, some of them face up, some of them face down. Eda looks at the array of them, at the different colours of the whores' skins - an array of human shades, paler whites, pale and darker browns, one more dark-skinned person whose cunt is brightly pink inside and contrasts with the pigmentation around their lips and on the flesh of their ass, and then a few non-humans too - pinks and purples, one huge, green ass with a thick, pierced cock hanging down and a plug pressed into their ass.
Eda considers the position of the people on the other side - on their hands and knees in a box, some of them, others with their legs strapped to the wall and their bodies laid on a bed or another supporting surface.
Some of them have already been used tonight, and you can see it - see that one or both of their holes are open, some with cum visible stuffed inside or leaking down around their cocks or out of their holes. Some of them have been written on with ink, or have notes written on the wooden panelling the asses poke through - three on the end says
QUARTER-PRICE: PRISONER'S HOLES
, meaning that they're prisoners who are doing brothel duty to pay down some of their dues to lessen their sentence, or just want to earn some money for them to have once they're out.
He's heard some of the whores talk about the work here, about the helplessness of it - you don't get marks or bites or kisses, for the most part, don't have to talk to the clients, don't have to perform. You can't solicit for tips, either, and there's no guarantee they'll pick you out of the line-up - of course, there's no guarantee they'll give you any reprieve, either.
He's been dreaming of it. Considering it. You can take the job part-time, and most of them do, only do one or two days a week - there's something anonymous about it, after all, especially in a bustling city like this, and while there are identifying markers, like piercings or the particularities of someone's pussy or cock or asshole, their pubic hair, scars, tattoos, it's relatively anonymous.
The wolfmen are talking to each other as they walk up and down the line, examining the different asses on display - they seem to go right past the cocks, focusing on the ones with cunts instead.
They're looking at an ass that's obscenely tiny, must belong to a halfling or a gnome or someone else who's very small, and Eda bites his lip as one of them licks the tip of his finger and thumb and parts their lips.
The wolfmen all laugh as the person must twitch or clench their hole, and Eda twitches in his own seat as the wolfman smacks the ass on one cheek and moves down the line.
This ass is a human's or an elf's, Eda thinks, their asscheeks a pale brown, their cuntlips and cock a little darker with pigmentation, the same darker colour showing in the pucker of their unused ass. The black wolfman reaches out again and spreads his pussy lips, and Eda can see the shine of the pink wetness inside.
There's writing on the board around him -
FIVE-STAR BOYPUSSY
says one scrawled piece of graffiti; another says
get this bitch pregnant
; another says
fill him up!!
The wolfmen pull the box out of the wall by a metal handle and set it gently down on the floor, rolling it across to one of the tables, and Eda sips at his drink as he watches, looks at the shape of the box - the boy's ass sticks out at waist height, his pussy underneath his asshole, so his legs are probably straight beneath him, maybe his feet on the floor of the box; there's another strap across his chest keeping his body pinned to the top of it.
It's the second-favourite of the positions Eda would like to try himself, he thinks, if he bit the bullet and applied for work - his favourite is when they're on their backs with their ankles strapped to their thighs.
They set it in the middle of a set of chairs, and one of the wolfmen comes over - the black one, the leader, Eda thinks. The grey one is the tallest, and the lighter brown one is the biggest - the fattest and the most muscular - but the black one is the one they all look to.
"Four ales," he says to the bartender, putting a pouch of coins on the table. He's got a rich, growling voice, and Eda presses his knees together as the wolfman's shoulder brushes against his. He's so warm, and his fur is surprisingly soft - up close like this, Eda can see the places where scars interrupt the growth of the hair. "Keep them coming."
"You all going to fuck number 17, Gentry?" she asks as she starts pouring ales, and the wolfman looks across at her, his hands on his hips.
"That a problem?"
"Once
