Day 12 (Same day)
12, October 2218
**Yaounde, Cameroon**
Central Africa, Region 18
Steel clanged and clinged in the courtyard of the national palace late in the day. Methild sparred with Eposi to test her current techniques and skills in wielding dual daggers. The drow took two days off to forge a pair of daggers for Eposi which were styled after his own. Though they were smaller than his by two inches, they were still very sharp to cut into stone. She swung both of her hands down on top of Methild, who danced around her attacks effortlessly. He only occasionally deflected her daggers when her blades got a little too close to either side of his face, neck, or sides.
Eposi's hand and wrist movements which were key for wielding and swinging and thrusting daggers, worked like well-oiled ball and sockets. She stabbed forward, stepped back, and crossed her daggers in front of her in a cross shape, only for Methild to block her with his daggers. Attacking, for all of its simplicity, was the easiest to master for her. Defending was another matter entirely. When she finished attacking him, he turned the tables on her and began to attack her. Though he was holding back, even being half-serious in his movements proved nearly impossible for her to successfully dodge or deflect them all. He was not about cutting any corners when it came to training her. His attacks found their marks on the sides of her cheeks, upper arms, and temples. Although his movements were never filled with the intent to kill.
Still, he slipped past her defenses and intentionally gave her her first sparring scars. Stepping back, he sheathed his daggers and spoke.
"Would you like to go again with me Eposi, or do ye need more time to practice?"
"Was that supposed to be a serious question, or are you just pitying me?" she replied, wiping blood rolling down her cheeks and temples with her forearm.
"I have been doing this for hundreds of years now. If you are hoping to defeat me at my craft, then abandon all hope ye who dare step up to the plate. But I will resume sparring with ye only if ye can land just a scratch on me. If ye can do that, I will teach ye more offensive and defensive techniques. but that's only if ye can put a scratch on me, anywhere on my body."
Eposi smirked and eagerly accepted his challenge. She was ready to go again and got into position.
Methild used only one dagger this time instead of two. She picked out three spots on his body she would target. If she couldn't cut him in the first place, she would trick him, and go for the second spot. If that fails, she pretends to go on the defense and use that moment to strike him in the third spot. She rushed over to him, swinging her dual knives down at him in several different swinging motions. The drow danced around her daggers, avoiding all of his partner's attempts to scratch him. He even bounced on the tips of his boots, bouncing left to right and from right to left. He was practically enjoying himself at her expense.
"Remember Eposi, don't lose yer cool and remain focused. If ye can do that, ye will find an opening in my defenses, eventually. Or maybe never."
Eposi did not relent and kept stabbing her knives forward, spinning around like a human tornado and jumping up and bringing her knives down on him together. But no matter what she did or how she did it, Methild was just too nimble in his movements. Unlike her, he was fine-tuned for defense and offense. His smug smile which she caught a glimpse of when she focused away from his body and limbs, ignited a fire inside her. She stepped back, grabbed the hem of her shirt, and pulled it upwards, revealing her black bra that caught her partner completely off guard.
"W-W-What are ye doing Eposi? This is not the time for such--" he stuttered.
She didn't bother trying to answer him. Instead, she rushed towards him, daggers thrusting and swinging vertically and horizontally. Methild's focus was split between watching her movements and staring at her bouncing breasts. Still virgin drow, he was split between listening to his two brains. The one inside his skull and the one enlarging inside his pants between his legs. Eposi attacked but he blocked. His movements were now less focused and more prone to slipping. For the time being she had the advantage, but that would not last for long. Thinking of a movie she once saw with martial arts in it. She crouched down, extended one leg out, and spun around in place, hoping to trip him. She did, almost. It was the opening she needed to land a scratch on the palm of his hand as he stumbled back.
Methild fell on his ass, dropping his dagger which slid off to the side. He looked away, embarrassed at seeing his partner partly topless. He grabbed his dagger from the ground and sheathed it. Eposi went up to him and extended a hand to help him up off the floor. He accepted her kind gesture and stood back up on his feet with her help. He turned around abruptly and walked back towards the palace quickly.
"Methild what's wrong?" she asked him.
"Please put yer shirt back on Eposi," he told her.
"Are you mad because I outsmarted you?"
"No. Not at all. I'm happy you managed to place a cut on me. Use everything that you have to your advantage whether you be a man or woman" he replied.
"Then what's the problem?"
"Just please put your shirt back on!"
Eposi grabbed him by his wrist and pulled him back by force. He turned around and looked past her, refusing to stare at her chest.
"Is this what you're afraid of, a woman's body?!"
"It's not your body. It's...it's the fear of mating." Methild said with some apprehension in his voice.
"Mating? You mean to tell me you're afraid of sex?" Eposi said, smiling out of relief.
"Yes. I could never tell the other drows this or else I would be exiled for an irrational fear of what was seen as a perfectly acceptable vice in drow society."
"I know what you mean, Methild. I have been holding out on doing this with you until I was ready. It's not your fault. I have a couple of reservations about it, but I feel we may be falling behind the other competing breeding pairs in the world. So you know what, let's just do it. Not out here of course, but inside the palace, right now!"
"Perhaps ye should give it one more day of thought? Ye know, to fully prepare yourself mentally."
"No! No more procrastinating. We do this today!" Eposi said loud and proud. She led Methild back into the palace. As much as she was feeling nervous. He was petrified.
She pulled him along by his wrist, while he resisted by dragging his heels into the dirt. Back inside the palace. Eposi led them to the main bedroom of the palace that used to belong to the past president of Cameroon. Methild smiled softly at her from the bed. He took his time slowly removing his leather armor. And then suddenly the thought just hit him!
"Uh, Eposi I think we may have to postpone this breeding for tomorrow."
"Why's that?" she answered.
"I haven't bathed in days. Yep, we may need two days more for the smell to be completely gone."
"Hmmm. That's not a problem. I also haven't bathed in days. Maybe we should take a shower together?"
"Nonsense. Ye go first. I can wait."
Eposi let out a frustrated sigh and went over and grabbed Methild who was ready to leave the bedroom. She grabbed him by his wrist and led him into the shower room inside the bedroom.
"Uuhh, uhh--"
"No! No more excuses!"
The young Cameroonian woman pulled her partner's pants down. Forcefully removed his coat and pulled his boots off his feet. His stench was bad, like the smell of rotting fruits, but it wasn't the worst thing she'd ever smelled.
"Help! I'm being assaulted...Aah!" he shouted like a scared little girl.
"Oh knock it off Methild, you're acting like a woman right now. No one's assaulting you. If it helps you feel any better, I'll also take off my clothes in front of you."
Methild's fears and anxieties were slowly replaced with a newfound sense of sensual excitement that was new to him. Watching her remove her pants and shoes in that order sent blood rushing down to his engorging cock, excited for what was sure to come soon. Down to just her bra and panties. Eposi blushed a little. She undid her bra by unhooking it from behind her back. And let it drop on the floor in front of her, revealing her dark chocolate breasts and areolas for his viewing pleasure. The more he stared at her, including when she stepped out of her panties. The quicker his beating heart gradually steadied. Eposi had a thin and slender figure. She had a lean face. Her breasts weren't overly large. Her thighs were not thick, but her waist was slim and her hips were wide. Which gave her the ass of a goddess.
She took Methild by the hand and stepped into the shower with him which had a glass wall and door. The young virile drow and the young Cameroonian woman stood under the running showerhead head looking at each other. Standing so close to each other. Eposi felt his erect cock, rubbing between her wet vulva. She let out a deep breathy sigh at the pleasant sensation. She placed her hands on top of his tight chest, caressing and appreciating its tightness while staring back at him. He caressed the sides of her face and leaned in to kiss her. She was only too happy and relieved to return his feelings.
One of her hands slowly inched lower and lower down his chest, feeling his tight abs and finally down on top of his erect cock. Where she slowly stroked him between her hands. Methild let out soft but sincere moans. Slowly his fears and anxiety disappeared, being replaced by the desire to unite with her. Their meshing lips and intertwined tongues pushed both of them over the edge. And Eposi's desire to do more beckoned her to get down on her knees and take his black eight-inch cock into her mouth.
