When Blaire and Lilliven descended the stairs the next morning, Rea and Ellaria were sitting at the same table as the night before. Blaire hobbled after the tanuki, trying to keep up with her long strides despite the deep ache in his abused ass. Walking was hard. His legs were still wobbly, and every now and then his prostate would fire off a random burst of pleasure that would cause him to spasm. He kept his head down, blushing, and tried to cross the room as quickly as he could. He wondered if any of the other adventurers were looking at him, laughing as Lilliven's newest fucktoy stumbled across the tavern.
Four plates were arranged around the table, and a platter of meat and eggs sizzled in the center. Blaire collapsed into one of the chairs, grateful to be off his wobbly legs, but then groaned as sitting only made his ass hurt even worse.
"You're late, Lily. Supposed to be down here by sunrise," Rea grumbled through a mouthful of eggs, pointing at the morning sunlight shining through the window. "What's the matter, you decide to take him for one more round after you woke up? Or are you just hung over?"
The centaur was noticeably geared up, though not with the heavy plate Blaire had seen last night. A padded leather cavalry skirt covered her lower half, with steel covering only certain strategic areas. Leather armor was similarly strapped to her arms and legs, though she did wear the same steel breastplate. Instead of her gigantic warhammer, a sword and a large kite shield were leaning against the wall behind her.
The tanuki chuckled as she took a plate and started shoveling meat onto it. "Heh. If I'd have taken him for another round, you'd still be waiting another hour from now. No, it just took that long to wash all the cum off him." She grinned, and her tail snaked up the back of Blaire's neck, stroking him gently. "We lucked out with this one, ladies. Best set of holes I've fucked in years. Seriously. Submissive, eager to please, not afraid to get nasty, and so tight! And he was a virgin! Let's keep him around as long as we can; I want this ass as many more times as I can get it." She reached over and gave his thigh a squeeze, before she sat down and started eating.
Rea rumbled in approval before setting down her fork, a smile on her face. "Good, good. I knew he'd be a fun one. Here, Blaire, eat some breakfast. So how'd you fuck him, Lily? Bend him over, get your hands full of that jiggly ass?"
"He was a virgin, horse-brains. You always go missionary with a virgin, so you can watch their eyes go wide when they feel themselves open up for the first time."
"I know that, but you couldn't have stopped at just that, right? You fuck his throat? His ass? C'mon, tell me everything!"
Blaire cringed in embarrassment. He stopped listening, not wanting to hear any more of them talking about him like a cheap piece of meat. He stared at the ham and eggs on his plate, looking for shapes, patterns, anything to distract himself from the conversation. He glanced up, and Lilliven was miming how she had smothered his face with her balls. He looked away. The blood was rushing to his head again. His face felt hot. His ears were ringing. This was a mistake. What had he been thinking last night? Why had he joined this party? What-
"Blaire. Blaire!"
He looked up again to find Rea staring at him, a concerned look on her face.
"Blaire. Did you enjoy last night?" the centaur asked, gently.
Blaire hadn't realized he could blush any harder; he felt like his face was going to explode. He hunched his shoulders and looked away, not willing to look the centauress in the eye. Unfortunately, when he shifted in his seat, his prostate made itself known again. A shiver of pleasure shot up his spine, and he let out a tiny moan before he could stop himself.
He sighed, unable to deny it. "Yes," he whispered.
"Did Lily tell you what your role in this party is going to be?"
He stared at the table, twisting his fork in his hands. "The party...f-fucktoy."
"Heh," Rea laughed. "That's one word for it. Fucktoy, stress relief, cocksquire. Personally, I like 'healslut'. You tend to our wounds when we need it, and our urges when we don't. It's a win-win for everybody. So, why do you look so freaked out right now?"
Blaire looked up at the centaur incredulously. "You don't get why I'm embarrassed...about being a
fucktoy
?"
The centauress cocked her head in confusion. "What's embarrassing about that? Lots of parties have healsluts. The three of us have needs, Blaire. Strong needs. How else are we supposed to keep our balls drained and our heads clear? There aren't any whores or barmaids out on the campaign trail, you know!"
Lilliven leaned forward, joining the conversation. "Some of our good friends have a fucktoy. Four orcs and an elf. They gangbang her every night, and she loves it. Really leans into the race kink, gets off on the taboo."
An elf...Blaire thought back to the elf last night, the way she had clutched at her orc partner's body while he lifted her into his lap. Had that been her? She really did seem to be enjoying it. The thought of getting gangbanged by four orcs, though...his ass gave another twinge. Goddess above. One tanuki was bad enough!
He shook his head. "I...I don't know if I can deal with this. I trained to be an adventurer. I honed my survival skills, I learned healing magic. I really put effort into this! And, and now I find out my most valuable quality is my
ass!
"
Rea gave him a quizzical look. "I'll ask you again. Did you enjoy what Lilliven did to you last night?"
Blaire grimaced again. "Yes."
"Then I don't see what the issue is? You're an adventurer, and you're enjoying yourself. Plus we're enjoying you. And in the meantime, you get to be part of one of the top parties in this city. You want to become a legendary healer? Stick with us. In a few weeks you're going to be more powerful than any other F-rank healer in the world. You'll even earn your E-rank badge in a few months instead of a year. And that starts today."
The centauress slid a piece of paper across the table, an official Quest Offer from the Guild.
"If we're going to keep you around with us, we need to get you geared up. It doesn't look good for a high-ranking party to have a member going around looking like...well, like that." She waved her hand in the general direction of Blaire's outfit and staff. "We're going to get you experience, and we're going to get you some new gear."
Blaire looked at the paper. It was a detailed sketch of a monster: a broad, flat body, eight scuttling legs, and a long, sinuous tail. "We're hunting roatans today," Rea continued. "You know roatans, Blaire? Face-rapers? Someone reported a new nest not far from the city, and that means merchants and travelers are at risk. We're gonna go wipe them out."
The Quest Offer only had two red skulls stamped on it. Easy difficulty, far too easy for these experienced adventurers. But at the bottom of the form, Blaire saw the reason why. The quest reward was a medium focusing sapphire, twice the size of the one currently mounted on his staff.
"Face...rapers?" Blaire had never heard of such a creature before. The sketch looked horrid, like a massive insect made of flesh rather than chitin. But the message was clear: they were taking an easy quest solely for his benefit, to get him a reward. He was still a little leery about being their 'healslut', but if they were willing to make sacrifices just to get him better healing gear, maybe they were serious about him being a legitimate member of the party after all. Maybe it was OK to stick with them, even if it meant servicing their...urges. He gulped, blushing as he remembered Lilliven's massive cock smacking into his face. Her sticky, musky cock, with its endless spurts of delicious cum...her plush body embracing him from behind as she whispered soft praise into his ear and pumped spurt after spurt inside him...why was he objecting again?
Realizing he was daydreaming, he looked up at them. "OK. Let's do it, then. I'll do my best to help you all!" He clutched his staff tight, already imagining it with a shiny new sapphire.
Lilliven grabbed the Quest Offer, looking it over while eating with one hand. "Roatans, huh?" She talked with a mouth half-full of food. "Throwback to our newbie days. Well, I guess a little genocide could be fun. What do you think, Ellie?"
Ellaria hadn't said a word the whole time. The demon was sitting with a contented smile on her face, basking in a ray of sunlight as it shone onto her through the nearby window. It made her look oddly angelic for a moment. "Oh yes," she purred. "I could go for some genocide this morning. I love the little 'squee!' roatans make when they die." She giggled. "Their eggs are delicious, too!"
Rea raised an eyebrow at Ellaria. "You're pretty chipper this morning, Ellie. I guess Lily wasn't the only one who got some tail last night? Who was it? Barmaid? Night Watchman? Did you drain some poor back-alley bandit dry?"
The succubus just giggled again and pressed a finger to her lips, whispering
"Let a lady have her secrets, you brute!"
The centauress sighed and shrugged, then turned to face Blaire. "Ah, well. Anyway, Blaire, I'm very glad to hear you say that you'll do your best for us. I'm sure you've realized the reason we're taking such a low-level quest. Let's earn you that new sapphire, and then I'm going to take you back to my room and show you what you missed out on last night." She grinned. "I know a party like ours might seem a little overbearing at first, but I know you'll come to really enjoy it." She looked at Lilliven, who had finished eating. "You said he was eager, right?"
"Oh yeah," the tanuki chuckled. "The boy's a natural sub, through and through. He might've even had more fun than I did!"
"Good," Rea's smile widened. "I can't wait to see just how subby I can train him to be." She leaned forward over the table, reminding Blaire just how enormous her body was, and lowered her voice a bit. "I promise you, the two of us are going to have
