Our group was exhausted, to say the least. All six of us barely managed to climb out of that cave. Leeto, our dwarven healer, carried the rescued prince with him. Fatin and Ilo guarded our rear as Vasil and I had the front. Melesina has already reached our carriage. The large drakes strapped onto it looked almost happy to see her.

The dark sky above us was almost welcoming compared to what we'd seen inside the cave. The cool night air felt good against my aching body.

Melesina was a good leader, her skills as a ranger had come in handy way too many times to count. Especially back in the cave. I gave the Abysmal Gale cave one last look in fear. The hidden entrance didn't look like much now, but the memories of that place might haunt me for the rest of my life. Had I known what that place held within, I might not been so keen to take this job.

The prince had fainted and no wonder, I can't judge him. The things those monsters did to him down there must left a pretty deep scar on his soul. Just the thought of it all made me shudder. As I spared my last thoughts to the man who had betrayed us, his horrified screams began to echo inside my head, I realized how not even he deserved what he got in the end.

I looked at the half-orc barbarian next to me. Vasil's open wounds had healed nicely, almost making his pine-colored skin look like new, well, as new as someone his age could hope for. Life had certainly left its marks on him, but the look in his eyes showed his true nature; Rugged, but vigorous warrior, who had kept me and the others safe multiple times. Pale white tattoos covering his whole body told a story I had not yet been let in on.

I had only been part of this group a little over a year and now they felt like a second family to me. Sure, at first we were all a little suspicious of each other, but what can you do when you need gold and the only ones willing to work with you are complete strangers. Well, not complete strangers, Fatin and Leeto had once been married, but now they were just friends. "A bugbear and a dwarf", I thought to myself, "How did that even work?"

"You better catch up, little man," Vasil joshed as he looked at me. He had dashed ahead, ".. Or are your itty bitty feetsies already tired?"

I wished I could wipe that annoying smirk from his face with my fists.

"The others are well behind me! It's on you if you get ambushed again!" I yelled back. In all honesty, I kinda liked our little banters. The big man had grown on me. He slowed down his pace and jogged next to me. His wide grin exposed his sharp canine teeth.

"We escaped," the half-orc's tone had changed suddenly, he sounded almost surprised.

"Yeah, barely!" I replied back, "All it took was Fatin almost dying and me actually dying to get out of there!"

"I know..." Vasil's posture dropped as he answered. "You know, I..." he added before dropping whatever he was going to say. Part of me wished his worry had been born from something deeper than our friendship, but I quickly brushed that thought from my mind as we hurried to get as far as we could from that cave.

"Hey, I might be small, but I have mass!" I laughed as I jiggled my bare belly. The things down there had gutted me, leaving me exposed, but thanks to Leeto, the only thing that was left of the massive wound was a faint scar. The armor I had worn had been expensive and losing it stung a little.

My jiggling had made the half-orc let out a small laugh.

"Whatever you say, shrimp," Vasil smirked as we arrived at the carriage. Melesina had already managed to get our drakes ready for travel and rushed for us to get inside. My short gnomish stature made it extra tough to climb inside, but I managed to pull myself in.

The wooden coach-style carriage had two benches inside, both facing the front. The front bench used to have another one facing it, but we had to dismantle it a long time ago to make more room for loot.

Quickly I realized there were too many of us.

"Uh, how are we gonna fit?" I asked and glanced at Vasil. On a good day, there was enough room for six of us, but now we had another person with us and he was unconscious.

"Come here, stumpy," Vasil said and pulled me with him to the back row. As he sat down he grabbed me by the waist and lifted me onto his lap.

"Now this is awkward," I said flustered. A warm feeling began to spread around my cheeks and nose as I blushed.

"We can always switch," Vasil laughed back, his hands firmly placed on my hips.

"No thank you, the thought of you on top of me is not something I'd care to experience."

Vasil's smirk got even wider, "Oh, is that so?" he snickered and I only answered with a loud huff.

The others managed to squeeze themselves inside too. The unconscious prince was lying on the first bench with Leeto sitting next to him, taking care of his wounds and Ilo sat next to us. Fatin kept guard on the roof keeping Melesina company as she steered our reptilian steeds. There was hardly any room inside the cart, the left side of my body pressed against the gnoll's coarse fur, while my back felt Vasil's pounding chest.

Just as we began to move, horrendous howls could be heard from the cave's entrance. The sound of it felt like ice in my veins. Melesina urged the drakes to run and they didn't seem to have any objections about that.

"Did you see what those things did to Lee'Roi?" Ilo next to me and Vasil asked with a whisper. The gnoll's eyes were wide as plates and he looked like part of him was still in that cave. Leeto hushed him and prepared a brew of relaxing herbs for him. Ilo's hands were trembling too much for him to take a sip, so I helped him to drink it.

We traveled in complete silence after that. I zoned out a couple of times and every time I woke up, the world around us was still dark. It must have been hours since we left the cave, but Vasil's hands were still around my plump hips. I could feel the tension radiating from his arms. I'm sure he hadn't slept at all, unlike the gnoll next to us. Leeto's herbs had worked as always and it looked like he was also taking a small nap after getting the prince stable.

I turned my head a little to look at Vasil. His gaze was somewhere far away.

"Hey, are you alright?" I whispered, careful not to wake up the others. My question seemed to finally bring him back into this world, "Me? Of course I am," Vasil answered and squeezed my hips making me let out a sharp yip.

The others seemed to hear it but fell back to sleep quickly.

I glared at him as he began to smirk at me again.

"Fine," I whispered, "I will show you!"

╭ᑎ╮

I knew I wasn't his type, but I had seen him enjoying lap dances from tavern girls. I slightly shifted my position and began slowly to rotate my hips, grinding my rear into his groin. The tension in his arms grew even stronger.

"Caner," I could his hot breath against my neck as he whispered my name. Vasil's other arm dropped onto my thigh as I moved my hips.

"C" Vasil breathed, his voice now sounding like he was pleading with me to stop.

The rough bumps on the road heightened the effect and I began to feel something hard press against my rear. With a smirk on my face, I stopped and whispered,

"That's what you get for teasing me, it will take days to get to the nearest city and find relief for that!"

Proud of myself I turned around and tried to see what was happening outside the carriage, but everything looked just dark. Fatin had lighted the torches on the sides of the cart, but only a little bit of the light got inside.

Then Vasil's hand grabbed my thigh harder.

"I can get my relief here, little man," he snarled quietly into my ear and suddenly pulled me closer. His ever-hardening manhood pressing firmly against my ass.

"Vas," I whimpered, "You can't..." before I could finish my sentence he pushed his other hand into my pants, groping my groin. Vasil lifted his hand from my thigh and began to rub my lower abdomen. Slowly my hips started to move again as his rough fingers found my clit. I could feel his quiet breaths next to my ear. The window next to us began to fog while the others around us slept tightly.

I lifted my body a little so Vasil could pull his thick veiny rod out. He slowly slid my shredded trousers to my knees and pulled my bare rear against his pulsing cock. The feeling of it made me let out a silent coo.

"I'll show you teasing," Vasil murmured and grabbed my large wrapped breasts with both hands. I could feel his rugged palms massaging them, his thumbs trying to find my hardening nipples hidden under the fabric. My constant grinding wet the tip of his member with my fluids.

Suddenly the gnoll next to us shrieked, waking himself and our healer. Immediately, we stopped and stood still like we were two stone statues, Vasil dropped his hands over my lap, covering my naked body with them.

Ilo was panicking but seemed to relax a little bit as he realized where he was. Leeto reached over his bench and took his hand, reassuring the drugged gnoll with gentle words. Bewildered, we watched as the healer managed to calm Ilo down. When Leeto crouched back to grab something from his bag, Vasil's hands returned to my hips, and he lifted me up. Without any warning, he thrusted his member deep into me.

I screamed and both Leeto and Ilo turned to look at me. Not seeming to notice what had just happened.

"S-So sorry, I- I'm fine," I muttered as my cheeks got redder and redder. Vasil had managed to pull his cloak to cover my lower body, "I just got startled by a shadow, just do whatever you were going to.." I punched Vasil's ribs with my elbow and he laughed playfully.

Tired or not caring enough Leeto made another herb drink for the gnoll, this time giving him the drink himself. Glancing behind me and Vasil, puzzled by the fogged window. As soon as Leeto got back to his seat and the gnoll started to snore again, the half-orc began slowly to bounce my body up and down, driving his thick member in and out of my now-wanting hole. My heart pounded in my chest as I tried to stifle my whimpers.

The noise of the cart and the cloak over our laps suppressed some of the sounds our slapping skins made, but not all of it. Every time Vasil thought someone might have woken up, he stopped and shoved his poker-like hot cock deep within me. His flared tip spreading my insides like I'd never felt before. The constant bouncing and the bumps on the road forced me to grab the edge of the bench in front of us. Gently, Vasil bit my shoulder, pulling his member almost out, and whispered "You have no idea how long I've wanted this."

My vision turned blurry and I gasped, with one long thrust he shoved his member back in and shot a large load inside of me. As his pulsing cock kept me tightly in place, my whole body trembled and I came, squeezing every bit of his seed into me, softening his member into a more manageable size. I leaned back, feeling his heaving chest underneath my head. Vasil's bulky arms held me gently as we both drifted off.

I have no idea how long we were like that when I woke up to the sudden stop.

"We're resting here!" Melesina shouted from the outside, she jumped down and rubbed her behind, tired from the hours' worth of cart travel. Everyone inside the cart began to stir awake when I realized Vasil's cock was still deep within me.

And it was still hard.

"Uh.. Vasil?" I asked and turned my head towards him, "Didn't you..?" I nodded my head downwards.

"Hush, love. Just stay still," Vasil muttered back half asleep. One by one the others left the carriage, not noticing what we had done. The woolen cloak on my lap was warm as the breeze of the night air poured in from the open door. Vasil's held my belly with his right hand, keeping me steady.

Leeto and Fatin carried the sleeping prince out as the gnoll sat on the grass outside the carriage. They took their bags, faintly making small talk with each other and us, not once asking us to come out and help with the tents. When no one was watching and far enough, Vasil grabbed my sore breasts with one hand and pushed the other back into my pants. His finger slipped between my folds and began to circle my throbbing clit. Flirtatiously, he nipped and kissed my neck from behind.

"Vas, how are you still hard?" I demanded to know with a whisper.

"Haven't you seen me on the battlefield? You know I can get up again and again when defeated," he said as he gently bit my ear lobe, "... And I haven't even been defeated yet."

Vasil began to grunt as he slowly started to move again, pommeling his cock inside my pussy. The carriage door was open and had anyone outside taken even a small glimpse inside, they could have seen us. Vasil finally managed to slide his other hand inside my wrapped chest and pinched my nipple between his fingers.

"You're such a good boy, Can," he purred into my ear, brushing his lips against the skin. I leaned forward, giving him more room to move, feeling his huge balls slap into my rosy cheeks. The awkward position had me essentially in the air between the two benches, I almost fell, forcing Vasil to hold me by the waist, giving my sore nipples a rest. Despite his size, Vasil managed to get up, crouching his back so as not to hit his head into the roof of the cart. His movements became faster and faster as he stood behind me, holding me by the waist, my toes barely reached the bench next to me. I helplessly bobbed in his arms, whimpering in bliss.

The cum from before poured out and made a small puddle on the floor as he pistoned into me with force. Vasil's movements made the carriage creak and slightly tilting it.

My fingernails must have scratched the wood beneath them when Vasil pushed his tip deep within, making me come again, my sudden tightness pressuring him to release his second load. The puddle beneath us grew even larger as his fluids dripped down my thighs. Breathing heavily, Vasil put me down on a bench and pulled his pants back up. He gave me one long kiss on my freckled lips, carefully caressing my hair, and then hopped happily down from the cart, leaving my naked and bare lower part to catch the breeze coming from the outside.

As soon as I had recovered from the abuse, I put on my clothes, wrapped Vasil's cloak over my sore body, and left the carriage.

The drakes outside growled unapprovingly at me, maybe knowing what had happened or just unhappy about how the cart had moved mere moments ago.

The rest of the group had made a camp farther away, near a small stream, snuggly between a couple of fallen trees. Melesina shot me a curious look as I awkwardly walked near the just-lit fire.

"Long ride, eh?" She asked, nodding to herself, "My back hurts too, but I'm sure a good night's rest will make it better,"

"S-sure... It was a long trip," I replied back, "If you don't mind, I'm gonna hop into that stream and take a bath, cold water has always helped me with... This," I said and Melesina nodded again.

Ilo was already fast asleep in his tent. Fatin collected firewood and Leeto tended the prince in his tent. Unsure where Vasil was, I shrugged and walked farther away from the campsite and the carriage. I found a perfect spot behind some tiny trees and bushes as the moon came from behind the clouds, showering me and my surroundings with its pale light.

I undressed in peace and stepped into the chilly water, the coldness of it giving me goosebumps. My breast ached from the daily wrapping and from the Vasil's rough handling. I took long deep breaths and let the night air fill my lungs. The current was weak, but the stream itself was surprisingly deep. I let my body gently float in the middle of it and watched the shimmering stars above me.

Things had gone from worse to something completely different. Sure, I enjoyed Vasil's company and MAYBE I had a crush, but what we did tonight wasn't part of my plans. I didn't know if this was a one-time thing like it usually was for me, but Vasil's words had stuck themselves into my brain.

You have no idea how long I've wanted this" and "Hush, love."

Certainly, he couldn't be serious.

Right?

When visiting big cities, he visited brothels, well as did I, but still that's not the point. The point was who he laid with. When he chose a companion, they were usually as tall as him and a lot thinner than me. Yet, now he had fucked my short plumpy body like he was a hippogriff during the spring season.

I let the back of my head drop below the surface, the soft white noise of the water felt calming, clearing my mind from silly thoughts.

As soon as I felt a presence somewhere in the edge of my mind I lifted my head up and turned to face the shore. There he was, Vasil, standing butt-naked and trying to enter the water, shyly dipping his toes into the cold water before backing off.

I let out a loud laugh, "Are your hugesie mucksie feetsies cold?"

"Shut up," Vasil yelled back, "You know I'm not from around!" his words made me laugh again. I swam a little bit closer but still kept my distance.

"You wouldn't last a day where I come from!" I taunted him back, secretly admiring his naked body. The moonlight made his tattoos glow brightly blue, I had only seen it a couple of times before, and of course, I had made fun of him, saying he looked like a tall stick of faery light, but in truth, it actually looked quite beautiful. The pale moonlight hid his blushing cheeks as he tried to find the courage to enter the water.

"Jump in already, greenie!" I dared Vasil, and to my surprise he took one last look and dived straight in, making a huge wave. I couldn't see him anywhere and I was unsure if he had hit his head on a rock when I felt something grab my ankle and pull me under. As soon as I surfaced back up I heard Vasil howl in laughter. Where I had to float, he could easily stand, the water only reaching his chest. His laughter turned into silence as he looked at me, his lips slightly shivering from the cold. He had wrapped his arms around himself.

Neither of us said anything for a while. The night was filled with sound, but those sounded like they were coming from the distance.

"So, I..." The half-orc said as he turned his gaze away from mine.

"I told Melesina we'd take the first watch," he said, looking at the small ripples around him.

"Oh, good," I added, letting the silence fall between us again. I studied the curls on his chest, looking at the glowing tattoos underneath. Following the swirling symbols all the way up. The tattoos had to go under his hair, I thought, I could still see the faint glow beneath his braided dark hair. Vasil usually kept his hair very neat, saying that if he didn't keep it braided, it would be everywhere and I saw it now. Today's action had made it slightly messy and some curly strands poked from the braids. As I was lost in my thoughts, I realized he was looking at me, staring at me with a serious look on his face.

"Listen," he said, "What happened tonight..." He stuttered as he said each word, nasty feeling began to creep into my guts.

"We can forget it!" I exclaimed, stopping him from saying it first, "I mean, I have already forgotten it, I have no idea what is going on and we're just two friends..."

"...Naked..." I added, averting my eyes from his.

"... And that's it," My words must have hit something deep within him because his face turned dark. He tightened his lips before he asked.

"Do you want to forget it?"

Vasil's question made me freeze. Sure, the water was cold, but I was used to it. I never liked conflict and bringing up personal things just wasn't for me. It was easier to disregard such feelings.
