In a clothing shop outside of town, on a forested mountainside path. You enter the small shop you've visited before.
"Welcome back!" giddily says the owner.
"Hello, Gessica." you reply.
She continues "I didn't expect to see anyone for a while when I heard rumors of a minotaur on the mountainside".
"I doubt the rumors are true." you say, as you walk towards a rack near the door displaying three spectacular silk robes.
"It would have to take something bigger than a minotaur to scare you anyway" she jokes.
You notice the center piece of the main rack hasn't changed. It's a deep blue with an ornate gold spider on the middle of the back, with a gold web design covering the arms, and a triangular main web on the back. The sash for it is the plain blue with two tiny spiders detailed on the ends.
You also recognize the one on the left. A light green robe with four flowers staggered on the back. The first flower by the left shoulder, the second slightly down and on the right, the third on the left again about where the hips would be, and the last one even further down and left. A stretching vine pattern in brown connects the flowers and borders the end of the sleeves. Each of the flowers has a slightly different shade of yellow. You see a new robe on the right of the rack. It is a white robe with a large black and blue koi on the back, with a wave pattern along the bottom.
"Aw, did someone buy the red and black dragon robe" you complain.
"You weren't going to buy it anyway" Gessica whispers in your ear.
You jump and turn to face her not having noticed that she had moved behind you.
Blushing from being called out you look back to the robes to hide your face as you retort "Not with your prices".
Without missing a beat "I have to charge to match material costs maybe if you looked at something with less fabric you could afford 'my prices'".
"As good as they look I doubt I could pull off something that revealing" you reply pointing at a nearby display of some shorter dresses.
"Nonsense, the burnt orange would look amazing on you" she says shepherding you towards them.
"No, thank you" you say rolling past her heading deeper into the store.
You are now reaching shelves of silk shirts and pants. You start inspecting them hoping to change subjects.
"Not scared of monsters, at all. But showing a little skin, banish the thought" she teases melodramatically, still following behind you.
You lift up a shirt that is silver with a crescent of red across the back draping down from the shoulders, in the front at about neck width the red crescent forms lines straight down. Three black buttons along the front. You doubt more buttons could fit with how low the neck line goes.
"Good choice, go try it on" she chimes.
"I don't plan to buy anything today" you say dryly.
"I insist" she grabs you by the arm pulling you toward the small curtain for changing in the back.
You sigh as you let yourself be dragged. You think to yourself, she has to be the best merchant ever, you almost believe her when she compliments you. She must be bored out of her mind with how few people would come out to her shop.
You enter the changing room and begin to put the shirt on.
Meanwhile you ask loudly "Why did you set-up your shop out here?"
"I can't stand crowded places, besides I run the shop myself so I can't have too many customers in at once."
You emerge from behind the curtain.
She finishes "Besides I like the intimate atmosphere."
"I guess I'd rather not try on somethings in front of lots of people" you say as you look to her for approval.
She is smiling. You turn to change back. She catches your shoulder with her hand and spins you back around.
"Oh, no. You are wearing that out of here."
"I told you I'm not buying anything today."
"No payment necessary, think of it as a favor."
You remove her hand "I don't want to owe any favors".
She giggles "Not like that, you'd be doing me a favor. Just let anyone who asks about it know where you got it, deal?"
"I guess" you stammer.
Her face lights up.
"I think I'll be going now."
Instantly her face shifts.
"Surely I'm not scaring you off already" she remarks.
"I shouldn't stay out to late, especially if any of those monster rumors are true" you respond.
"My place isn't far if you are worried" she offers.
"I appreciate the offer, but I'll decline"
"Alright, will you come to see me again soon, you're my favorite customer?"
"I'm sure I will" you say eagerly.
You leave the shop, the sun well past its crest. It must be early evening. It will probably be sunset by the time you are getting home at this rate. You head down the path, your old shirt in hand.
You are glad the path down the mountain isn't heavily trafficked, and you can skirt around the busy parts of town with ease. You won't have to worry about too many people seeing you in something this flashy and different for you. You are grateful though, and it is incredibly comfortable as well as beautiful.
Before you know it you've made it most of the way down the mountain, Right as you reach the final bend in the trail you see something just off the path in the trees. You continue down figuring it's probably a deer. When you get with thirty paces you notice it is humanoid as it stands on up on its hind legs. You notice the horns protruding from the head. It is the minotaur.
You take a deep breathe and freeze in place.
"I'm no man, I'm no threat, I've done nothing to provoke it" you recite to yourself as you exhale.
I'll just give it a wide birth as I pass, and do so at a non-alarming pace. You see it looking in your direction now. You slowly take your first steps forward to try to pass. As you draw near it starts shambling in your direction. Are they territorial, you suddenly worry. You look behind you quickly to see if there could be anything else catching its attention. Nothing.
You turn back to the beast. You see it is picking up speed. I can't outrun it, is your first thought, but you have no other options. You turn and begin to bolt. You see a side path and hope maybe you can lose it in the trees.
You are now bounding as best you can, glimpsing over your shoulder every few steps, only to see it closer, and closer, and closer. There is a cave up ahead. Maybe I could climb a tree, you think, right before you are pushed into a nearby tree by the minotaur. She lays an arm flat across your back pressing you to the tree.
"I love a woman in red!" she cries right before diving her free hand into your pants.
All to late you realize your folly. Her tongue darts into your ear. Your flinching only seems to encourage her.
"You can have the shirt" you scream out desperately.
She pulls her hand out of your pants, and you breathe a sigh of relief.
She lifts you by your shoulders then spins you around, and pins you to the ground. She completely ignored your offer.
"Sto..." you are cut-off as she plunges her tongue down your throat.
You twist your hips and kick and try to push her off. You feel yourself getting weak, hoping for breathe. She mercifully lifts her lips off yours. You gasp for air. Her saliva still in your throat makes you cough.
Her hands slide down from your shoulders to the center of your chest. You try to grab at her hands frantically. Too late. She rips your shirt open. Effortlessly she catches your wrists and spreads your arms wide as the flops her tongue onto your abs right next to your belly button. Your body tenses up, and you can't help but hold your breathe.
She slowly drags her tongue up your body. You tilt your head back further as she goes arching your back at the same time. At the top of your abdomen she retracts her tongue. You collapse your back to the ground. Releasing your breathe in short bursts.
"So sensitive" she taunts right before repeating the process, two more times.
Your inability to exhale while she's doing it brings you again to a point of oxygen starvation.
"I'm jealous" she snorts under her breathe.
As she goes to lick you again you try to bend your body out of the way. You struggle vigorously. Her tongue and wet nose making quick passes on your skin as you wriggle.
Her head moves closer to yours and then she suddenly wraps her lips around your left nipple. Sucking on it violently, releasing it only to trace circles on it with her tongue. You let out gasps and slight sounds. She begins to drag your hands from a spread position to meet above your head. Her tongue slides up from your breast to your neck. It goes all the way up to your chin.
She gathers both wrists in one hand and the other clasps onto your neck pressing lightly but firmly. She draws her head left towards your right armpit and then she draws her tongue from there to your right nipple. You wrap your legs around one of hers to try to press yourself further away.
To no avail. She releases your hands. You spread them along the ground trying to use them to push up. Her now free hand spreads and presses down on your stomach as her head ventures even lower.
"Please, d..." her hand on you neck tightens slightly.
You feel her cold nose press against you. She slides your pants to your ankles. You pull your legs together. She presses them apart with her upper body. Then buries her face into your lower body. You cry out, hating how much you are enjoying yourself. Your hips flare up and your back arches until you are pressing your shoulders down in a forceful way. One hand trying to free your neck the other trying to push her head away.
Suddenly she is pulled away. You are scooped up by a very tall green skinned woman. Its an ogre. You see another ogre struggling with the minotaur. Suddenly a red oni comes in swinging a large club, smashing the minotaur's head. The minotaur's lifeless body falls to the ground.
You are carried away from that towards a blue oni sitting on the ground near the mouth of the cave. She is sitting there drinking from what looks like one of many gourds.
You here shouting from behind you "Watch your swing Odessa!"
"Calm down Qadira, I didn't hit you."
"I'm covered in minotaur blood!"
The one carrying you booms back "There's no blood on you".
"No one asked you, Sada."
"Don't yell at her" says the red oni now catching up to you and your carrier, as you arrive near the blue oni.
