To all of you "waiting for it to get good", this chapter marks the first of many erotic interludes between the characters. Also, the first few chapters may be difficult to follow because of all of the characters, but that should subside from now on as the story begins to follow a handful of them.
****************
Istvan's eyes were wide and unable to look away. The war on Eberron had taken so much... Their freedoms, sure, but simple things as well. Istvan realized, watching Madeline, that he could not remember the last time he had been with a woman and as he became aware of this, he also realized how quickly his body was responding to the visage before him.
Madeline's form was slender and sleek; her movements fluid as she bent to test the water of the tub she had drawn for her bath. Carefully, her hands swept Chestnut locks upward, tying them delicately atop her head.
The movement caused her tits to bounce slightly against her chest. It was here that Istvan's eyes lingered. Perfectly sized ivory orbs, marked in the center by a coin sized circle. Her nipples had already hardened from the cool spring time air around her and Istvan's hands ached to run over them.
Her chest tapered into a curved waist and then expanded again over smooth hips. At her joining was a mound of dark hair, forming a perfect triangle against her alabaster thighs.
The woman was utterly unaware that she was being watched and she carefully tested the water with her hand while sitting along side the tub. Finding it to her liking, Madeline brought her feet over the edge one at a time and then slid into the steaming water with a relaxed sigh.
There was a thick woods behind the cabin and before he knew it, Istvan had slipped behind it and was peering into a window he had no business looking into. Only the sudden words from behind gave him what he needed to stop staring.
"Like what you see, do you?" Asked the voice of Bella from behind him. She smirked and cocked an eyebrow at him. "We could share, I suppose," she suggested with a nod toward the window. "But then, I'm not always the sharing type."
The woman gave him a smile as she turned to walk deeper into the woods, suggesting he would be the world's biggest idiot if he didn't follow after her leaving Istvan torn between humiliation and intrigue.
Ultimately, curiosity won out. Istvan blushed and looked from the window to the woman and then back and then back again, before he rushed after her, scratching his scalp nervously.
"Share? I mean, you are not going to tell her what I saw are you? Keep it between us.", he asked and insisted, not sure why they were headed into the woods; but his eyes then paid attention to her form and he needed no further urging. The last stages of the demonic invasion had robbed everyone of the time or desire to enjoy more pleasurable pursuits.
Bella stopped and smiled confidently. "I suppose that depends on what you are willing to do in order to ensure my mouth is kept shut," she suggested, stopping in a small clearing and turning to face him as she slowly untied the top of her dress in a rather enticing manner.
"My silence could be bought for an hour or so of... service," she replied in a saucy tone. "Presuming I find the required service satisfactory, then you have paid for my silence regarding your indiscretion with the lady's privacy." She wagged her finger at him, as if to mock him for misbehaving. In the process, the dress slid neatly off of her form, with no shyness whatsoever on her part.
If Madeline's naked form had aroused him, Istvan was helpless in the presence of a goddess like Bella. Rather than sleek, Bella was nothing but curves in all the right places. Her large breasts fell against her chest with a bounce and a gentle breeze pushed her scent of arousal to Istvan's awaiting nose. He stood, for a moment, gazing in awe at Bella's stunning beauty, before swallowing hard.
Bella cocked a brow at him. "Your trousers are still affixed, Mr. Carcosa," she replied in a seductive voice.
"I... yes," he answered, instantly fumbling with the belt.
