I stirred in my bed roll and slowly opened my eyes. I could see the many pinpricks of light in the dark sky, peeking through the spaces between the tree canopies. I rolled my head and looked past the glowing embers that were the remains of the campfire. Sierras' beautiful face was there, looking down at me.
I saw her perfect white teeth in the dim light as she smiled at me. The sorceress was sitting up in her bedding. I turned to her and lifted myself up on my elbow and smiled back. I was still a little groggy, but it felt nice to wake up to her smiling face.
"Hey, beautiful," she said softly.
"Hey." I looked over next to me and saw that Strafes' bed roll was empty. The big swordsman must have been on watch, and was likely close by. Cordelia was on the other side of me, I could hear her steadily breathing as she slept.
"You should get back to sleep, Rohme. You'll need to be well rested for tomorrow. I'll take your watch."
I sat up and looked at her. The sorceress was a classic beauty. With black wavy hair that went down past her shoulders, a smooth radiant complexion and bright blue eyes. Her face had an ageless quality. It was difficult to tell just how old she was, though she must have been older than me. I often wondered if she had any elven blood.
"You can't get to sleep," I said. "...Worried?"
"When have you ever known me to be worried?"
I just sat there watching her. She certainly never showed that she was worried. "You went to ask the King for help. You wouldn't have done that if you didn't think we needed it."
The smile faded from her face, "For all the good it did. He was happy to just stick his head in the sand. How can one so blind and stupid be allowed to rule over so many people? The right to rule over others should be earned, not be a birthright."
"You would make a great queen. The Magnificent Queen Sierra."
Sierra gave a broad smile, "And Strafe would be my General. Cordelia would be my Archbishop. And what would you be Rohme?"
I ran my hand through my hair and let out a yawn. "Just some fat lord locked away in her keep, enjoying the hedonism."
Sierra laughed, "Haha, right. That's not you at all. You'd get bored after a week in the castle and go wandering out into the wilderness."
"As long as I'm ordered back now and then to service my Queen in bed," I chuckled.
"Oh, you can count on that."
There was a brief pause and I looked up at the glowing white circle of the moon peaking through the leaves above us. Sierra let out a sigh, I could sense the mood becoming serious again. "I am worried. We've been up against some hefty odds before, but we're in deep this time. We're up against some powerful magic. We must stop that ritual tomorrow night. Do whatever it takes. Do you understand what that means?"
"I believe so." I said solemnly.
"Are you ready to give your life for your kingdom? ...Not for your King, but for the people of this land."
"I'm just a farm girl. I'll do whatever it takes to protect my homeland."
"No, you're more than just a farm girl, Rohme, and you're more than just a ranger."
I peered at her in the darkness. Off in the distance, a wolf let out a lingering howl. I understood what my leader was telling me--this may well be our last night in this world. She wasn't one to say such things lightly. She really believed it, and unfortunately, she was so often right.
Was I ready to die? I certainly didn't want to. I just wanted things to keep going on as they have been, traveling the land with these three amazing people. My friends, lovers and comrades. My family.
I peered at Sierra in the darkness again, taking in her beauty. I truly loved her. She had taught me so much, and helped me to become much more than I was when I met her. I couldn't stand the thought of losing her. " If the world ends, then I'll never get to bed you again."
"That would be the biggest tragedy of all." said Sierra, with a slight hint of a smile.
"I don't want to go back to sleep right now."
"You better come over here then, sexy ranger." She said seductively.
I was glad we were on the same page. I got on my hands and knees and crawled out of my bed roll and past the hot coals on the ground, right up to the gorgeous mage. When I got close, I brought my face to hers', and she leaned forward to meet me. She tilted her head and our lips locked together. We were soon hungrily exploring each others mouths with our tongues.
Warm tingling sensations washed through me. My body remembered the wonderful pleasure that I would get from my beautiful sorceress. We continued to kiss as I shuffled forward until I was pressing my body into hers'. Her mage robes felt silky and soft as I rubbed my hands over her back.
We hesitantly pulled our lips away from each other. I was feeling hot, and breathing heavily. Sierra looked to be all worked up too. Even in the faint light, her skin looked radiant. I looked into her stunning blue eyes. I loved her scent. She smelt fresh and exotic, like rainforest and spices. I'm sure I smelt like sweaty leather, but that never seemed to bother her.
Her hands came forward and firmly grabbed my belly, then they started rubbing upwards toward my heaving breasts. She leaned forward and we started hungrily kissing each other again. Her hands were busy pulling and undoing the straps of my leathers. She knew how to remove my light armor better than I did, she had stripped me of it many times. My hands continued to massage her back, and my tongue continued to rub against hers'.
She pulled my jerkin open, and I felt the cool night air on my bare chest. Sierra pulled away from my lips and I caught my breath again. Her hands were on my breasts, sensually rubbing over my skin. She had told me many times how she loved my big boobs. They were larger than hers' and Cordelias'. She smiled as her hands were lewdly groping at them.
I sighed with pleasure as I was being felt up. I started lifting her robes up over her legs. My hand rubbed over her creamy thigh. Her soft warm skin felt nice, and so did her hands as they gently massaged my tits.
Her hands came off my breasts and started pulling at my leathers again. I helped her get my jerkin off and let it drop the ground. The cool night air on my skin gave me goose bumps, but I was feeling the heat rising within me. The wolves began howling in the distance again.
Sierra put her hand on my shoulder and gently guided me down onto her bed roll. My big breasts flattened against my chest as I lay on my back. The sorceress smiled down at me as her hands rubbed over them and slid down my belly, making their way to my leather pants. She quickly undid them, and I lifted my ass and helped her pull them off.
I was left lying there in my cotton panties. Sierra leaned over me and planted a kiss on my lips again as her hands groped at my chest. I let out a soft moan as she left a trail of kisses past my chin and my neck, down to my tits. Her tongue was circling around my hard nipple. Her hand had slid up between my thighs and delicate fingers were rubbing at my soft lips through my panties. I could feel the material becoming quite wet.
My hands wandered up and were pulling at her robes. I pulled the light material up past her waist and then grabbed at her firm ass. Sierra was breathing heavily too, and then helped me to pull them right off, over her head. She was naked under her robes. I looked over her smooth womanly body in the darkness. My fingers brushed through her patch of dark pubic hair, and she let out a soft laugh.
She looked down into my eyes, and I was in awe of her beautiful face. She was like a Goddess. "Are you ready to be joined with me, Rohme?"
"Oh, yesss." I exhaled.
She gave me a dazzling smile and then started to recite the incantation as she got ready to cast my favorite spell. I lay back on the bedding and relaxed as I felt the magic wash over me. It was a strange sensation, like static electricity sweeping through my body in waves. Pressure started to build in my head and I took deep breaths.
I stayed calm as every sensation and every emotion quickly grew more intense. Strong feelings of fear and apprehension and doubt gripped my mind. There was some sadness there too, but those emotions were pushed into the background, kept in check by a strong, ordered mind. My feelings of love, desire and passion had doubled. My skin tingled as it became sensitive. I gasped for air, and so did Sierra. I could feel two hearts rapidly beating inside my chest. Slowly they began fall into sync until they were beating as one.
Sierra had linked our minds. I could feel what she felt, and she could feel me. It was an overwhelming feeling, as our minds were processing stimulus and emotions from two bodies. It was also the ultimate intimacy, we were in each others skin, joined together as one. I absolutely loved it.
