Life after Death in a New World PT5
----------------------
It was still early when I was woken up by the feeling of something landing on top of me. My only thought was, with my eyes still closed, what or whoever was on top of me was warm and smelled nice. Something in me questioned if it was a good idea even to open my eyes. What if it was someone here to attack me? After the old dwarf's death last night, I was not sure if I was even safe, even if I did have Astra and her sisters here with me. Just then, I felt it, I was sure it was a warm, full pair of lips pressing against my cheek. That was when I opened my eyes, and there she was, Alice, there on top of me and nude.
"I just want to come by and thank you for giving me such a lovely name," she said.
Then she continued, "You were so busy last night with your walk with Zoe. On top of it all, it sounds like you have a full day ahead. I thought I'd come to show my appreciation now."
Alice bent down and kissed me on the lips and slipped her tongue right into my mouth. It was much more than I expected. Just from yesterday, I thought the Milkmaids wouldn't even be sexually aroused easily, let alone by me. Her kiss had done the job for me, I was not only fully awake now but fully erect as well. Pulling the cover back, Alice shifted her hip, mounting herself on top of me. She was already wet as I slid inside of her.
She had just fully finished mounting me when she rocked her hips forward, pushing most of me into her. I could see the smile on her face as she took more of me in. I could feel my balls tighten as she rode me hard. I reach up and grab her tits that were soft and even with a little presser had milk coming out of them. She leaned down and put one in my mouth. It was sweet, and my body felt better. When she leaned back up, she pushed herself down on me, taking me fully inside of her. The pleasure she had millked my cock with her pussy trying to get me to explode inside of her.
I had no more than almost finished when I heard my door open. It was Sarah who stood in my doorway with an upset look on her face.
"Alice, what did I tell you about coming up here and waking him? What did I tell you about leaving him alone? You can't force yourself on him. You have got to give him time to get to know you first. Now go back downstairs and get ready for today. While you're at it, I'm sure we need some milk for breakfast, so why not produce some for him and the rest of us here? That will be a way you can show him your appreciation right now," Sarah told Alice in a harsh tone.
With an embarrassed look, Alice dismounted me. When she got to the door, she looked back at us, Alice said, "You know that you could at least let me finish showing my worth to him before you sent me away."
Once she left the room, Sarah closed the door after making sure that Alice was gone.
"Poor girl, I thought she would pull a stunt like that. I noticed she was missing when I woke up, you find that we tend to get up early in the morning. She just worried that if she didn't take care of you, there was a chance you would send her back. She was always looked down on back at stalls by stall masters. She was starting to worry she would be sent off to be sold at the slaughterhouse. Milkmaid meat is a delicacy to nobles in this world, since very few of us are ever sold for food, since most people think our meat is taboo. They kept me around for so long to take care of all the young ones whose mothers had been sold, but they just kept her for her willingness to do whatever they wanted sexually. Milkmaids are normally only turned on when taken care of. It was part of our design when they made us long ago, but it never happened to us back at the stall. Now, Alice, well, from the first moment she was sexually used, she had the urge to please anyone who is in a position of power over us, no matter who it was. I think it is self-preservation that makes her like that. One of the stall masters said it had to be part of her birth defect, well, that and her dark skin. Most of them even thought she was sterile at this point as well. They said the only good thing about her, other than her sex drive, was her high milk production. Just so you know, if you want Alice, I will not stop you, but it is your choice, and please be gentle with her. I know, talking to her last night, that she thinks you're cute," Sarah commented about Alice.
Hear what I did. I felt awful for Alice as well as for Sarah. I could understand why she did it, and to be honest, I was enjoying where she was taking it, but it would have been wrong to continue as well. It sounded like that terrible life from the moment they were born, I mean all Milkmaids, from not knowing if their mother would be coming back to them, to being sexually assaulted by their stall masters, and then not knowing when or if they will be sold and to whom. I knew then I had to make sure to keep them safe, just like the centaur ladies. This went for whoever else I was to get as well, no matter how long I was here for.
While I was starting to enjoy this new world so far, I did hope Tera and Shin could find how to fix me here soon. That led to another issue. If I did return to my world, who would take care of my farm till I return here? It was not like I knew how long it would be before I returned once I left. It was something I would need to talk to May about, but I also knew she was still sleeping since she was not a morning person. I figured I could bring it up to her later in our daily wrap meeting, but now I guess I need to find out who was all up and go from there.
"Sarah, I might as well get the day started since I am up now. Do we have anything for breakfast for everyone? Is there anything you might need from me?" I asked Sarah.
"May got the supplies for us to cook breakfast for everyone. It's not much, but hopefully, it will be to everyone's liking. She said it should be a busy day, so not to start with anything too big. All of us Milkmaids can do basic cooking, which is one of the few skills they would teach us. They say it has made us more profitable on the market. As far as needs, we should be good for now for the next day or two, but in the long term, we need supplies till we can grow most of it on our own. When May wakes up, I am planning on going over what will be all on the farm as well. Some of the shops here might deliver the supplies we need to your new farm, but if not, we need to figure out what we will need to take with us," said Sarah.
If anything, I had learned about Sarah, it seems like she had picked up on how to be an assistant. I guess taking care of and training Milkmaids who have skills to help run a farm that you would learn a little extra. It was a load off my mind knowing someone could help in that area.
After she was done, she left, and I got up and dressed. I could hear from outside that the sound of the barn area was coming to life, which had to mean it was about time to go back to the stall area. Going downstairs, I could smell breakfast being cooked. From the smell, I could tell it would be delish, bacon and biscuits. Looking at the table, it also had fresh fruit and milk. At this point, I was interested in at least trying their milk. I wonder if it tasted like normal cow milk back home. It looked like Cora was also awake, as well as all the Milkmaids.
"Morning, everyone. I hope everyone slept well," I said aloud.
"Good morning, Sir. It has been a quiet night for the most part. Eliana will get up here soon to relieve me of my shift. My queen thought we should have someone on guard at all times after last night. She sleeping with my sisters in the stall. May and Runna are upstairs, each in their own room. With that, I was not sure what type of shape Miss May would be in. She came in around two with the help of a troll named Max. He left not long after helping me put Miss May in bed. He did say to tell her, 'She needs to come by and pay her tab. He was not putting it on your book." Cora told me.
Well, it sounds like someone had one last night. It did worry me if May would be down for most of the day or not. I had faith that Sarah and Astra could fill her place. If anything sounded like she had to square up with Max, I would hate to be on his bad side.
With that, I heard voices coming from the centaur stall. One of them said out loud, "I'm not sure who is cooking, but I am ready to eat!"
"I will second that," a voice from the stairs called out.
It was Runna coming down in shorts and a T-shirt. She looked different from last night, it looked like she was wearing light armor or so. She was almost busting out of her shirt now. It was in contrast to her ass, it was just a little more than bubble butt, but I was sure it would still make a nice place to lay my head on. She was a little taller than the old dwarf from last night, I say about 137cm or so.
Luckily, the table was quite large but just not big enough. Cora, Eliana, and Sophia had to hold their place since we had run out of table space. Once in our new house, I will need to make sure that the table is big enough for everyone. I have to say that May was right, the Milkmaid's milk was sweeter than normal cow milk in a good way. Some of the fruit here on the table this morning looked odd. One looked like an apple but was purple and had the strong flavor of peach and banana mixed with just a hint of the apple it looked like. Astra and Zoe seem to be eating a lot of that one, saying it was hard to find back where they were from. Eliana told me to be careful of small yellow and red berries. She was not wrong, I had never had a fruit that not only made my mouth feel like it was freezing but on fire at the same time.
We had all just finished up when May started coming downstairs. She looked worse for wear, dressed in a spaghetti-strap shirt with one side almost falling off and in a pair of boxers. Her hair was in a mess.
"You know, you could wake a girl up for breakfast. I mean, food is one of the best things for a hangover. I don't think we have anything here to make hair of a dog," May said while yawning. "We've got too much to do today for me to be stuck in bed. Sweet Milkmaid's milk will help for sure. Milkmaid's milk has small healing attributes, including against poison. It is funny that alcohol is considered a poison, even if we do willingly drink it. It will not save you if you're dying, but it will work for a small cut on your hand to heal."
She ate the rest of the biscuits and drank a full jug of milk, I take it, took that much to counteract that much alcohol in her system. I would say they did a great job on breakfast since nothing was left. Hopefully, dinner would be just as good. My wish for today was that it would be more relaxing, though I had a feeling it would still be a full day.
Taking the last bit of biscuit, May said, "Well, with all of us here, Ivan, we should talk about breaking into teams for today. I think you should take Astra and Sophia to the stall market to get some of the people we need. Astra can advise on any wild ones that she might have crossed before that you might look at, and it would be good for the two to work with Sophia. I will take Sarah and Zoe to look at the supplies we will need to start with on the farm. Sarah has a list of supplies that we came up with that we will need for the farm. Cora and the other Milkmaids will stay here. Cora will need some sleep after standing watch last night. Alice, I will leave you in charge here. Sarah said you could handle this place till we get back and can direct anyone who drops anything off for us. Lastly, Runna, go with Eliana. Both of you will need to go to Brokkr's old shop. There are a few items Runna will need to get."
Looking at Runna, May went, "I talked to one of my contacts in the police force who was there at the blacksmith shop last night before I went to Dance Pony. I will say, Runna, why did you not say that Brokkr was your master? That is a major loss to this world, he was the last master craftsman from olden times. There were a lot of us who thought he had gone off and died a long time ago. My contact did say that while they had no lead on who had done it, they had cleared you of his death. The barn master saw you heading this way and even saw Brokkr in the front window before coming back this way himself. Now Brokkr left a will that was found on his desk, and for most of his stuff, he wants to go to one of the new adventure guild. In it, he states that he was fond of it since it catered to younger adventurers. He also said what else was left belonged to you, including his hammer. "
With a tear in her eye, Runna told us, "Well, he was in hiding when I found him and begged him to make me his apprentice. He wanted me to hide his name and told me to call him old fart if anyone was around. He made sure I followed strict rules like that. He said I had to stay at the shop at all times unless told differently. Another of his rules was that any time he would send me out, which was not often, I had to stay covered at all times and talk to no one. I don't know all the details, but once he told me that he was in hiding from someone who wanted him dead. He told me that a deal from long ago had turned bad, but it was one of the few times he was ever drunk, so I didn't know if it was true or not. I guess after 50 years under him, I thought he was safe now, but I guess I was wrong. He kept trying to push me to leave as of late, saying I was ready to find my place in the world. Makes me wonder if he knew someone was coming for him."
I could tell this had hit her deeply. I was not sure how long dwarfs lived, but 50 years in anyone's lifetime is still a good amount. At some point, I would need to sit down and talk to her about all of this and learn more about her, but I figured if May said this was the best way for today, then I would follow her lead and give Runna some space. This Brokkr sounded like he was a big deal at some point. It was a relief that Runna had already been clear of his death. At least we didn't have to deal with that.
After breakfast, most of the girls had to go get ready for the day, so I went back to my room till Astra and Sophia were ready to go. If anything, it was a good time to go over my skills and see if anything had changed at all. Lying on the bed, I closed my eyes and pulled open my skills. Looking only for ones that had changed.
