CHAPTER 12. WELCOME HOME
Cedric was sitting on the grass watching his cock dangling between his legs. Droplets of white liquid stretched out onto the grass.
Did it really happen?
He fucked his own Mother.
"It's not hurt like that?" Seraphina squatted beside him, carefully bandaging Cedric's broken finger.
He didn't expect the aftermath to be so... strange. He felt some tremendous release and shame at the same time. He could still hear himself yelling "I'll do it inside!"
How could he do it inside or even intend to do it inside her? His mother.
Cedric looked at her. His gaze traveled to the dark pubic hair between Seraphina's legs, to the pink jowls he'd been inside just a few moments ago.
Unreal.
His eyes traveled up to Mum's breasts, which shook with every movement of her tender hands. Seraphina's long brown hair covered part of her bosom and shoulders. They fell over the side of Seraphina's face, on her beautiful face but with tired and disappointed expression.
Was he right to take that step? Maybe not, but it felt too good.
"I asked you a question," she pulled the bandage on Cedric's finger even tighter.
"No, it's fine, Mum."
"Good." She took a deep breath and slapped his face with all her strength.
"Ouch."
"HOW DARE YOU? HOW COULD YOU DO THAT, CEDRIC? HAVE YOU GONE TOTALLY INSANE WITH YOUR CRAVINGS?" She continued to strike furiously with the slaps. "AND YOU DID IT TODAY? ON THAT SPECIAL MORNING?"
He couldn't be mad at her for this. Mum's full breasts moved so beautifully with each stroke of her arm.
"You wanted this too, didn't you?! Maybe it's also your fault?"
"That's why I'm only slapping you, not hitting you with all my might. Got it? Get dressed!" She rubbed her arm, which was sore from the blows, and threw his clothes at him. "And stop gawking at me. There will be no rest. We're going straight on the way."
==============
He wanted to sleep even harder after such an overwhelming orgasm, but Seraphina walked behind him and pushed him forward.
They needed to reach Astoria Prime on the border quickly as Conrad was waiting for them there.
"You'll sleep when we get there," she said. Cedric's moon-sword in her hands. Its scabbard hitting his back as he once again stood up to take a breath.
"It hurts, Mum. I'm truly sorry this happened, but I want to rest. Enough already."
"No!" she stabbed him again. "You need to take responsibility for your actions. You think you had a good time with me? Taking what you wanted? It's time for you to face the consequences. When you act like you did this morning, pleasure comes with pain. I hope you feel deeply ashamed."
He looked into her eyes, turning around, and Seraphina slapped him again.
"Ouch."
"You do realize that even one drop could be enough to get me pregnant. Can you imagine what would happen then? Me and you... Gods... I doubt you thought of the consequences. You men never think about them! Go ahead, be thankful you got off easy. I'm still seriously considering killing you. It was the biggest mistake of your life!"
"Or my greatest achievement," he thought.
But she was right. What if she got pregnant? He recalled his vision of pregnant Seraphina, and some strange excitement ran through his body, causing Cedric to stop again.
"Why have you stopped again? Gosh, Cedric. Don't play on my nerves!" The sword's blow struck his back once more. "Have you been training since we left the valley? All you've been doing is trying to peek at me, cuddling with me, sneaking kisses, trying to see under my skirt..."
He didn't argue and walked in silence while his mother reprimanded him like a naughty child.
She fell silent and pondered. The look on Cedric's face and the intensity of his thrusts into her were still in front of her eyes. The knowledge of how much he wanted it at that moment sent shivers down her wet back. But she wanted it too, didn't she?
She stopped, lowering the moon-sword. Her hand went over her abdomen. "What is this strange pain... inside? Why does it feel so different after Cedric?"
Cedric turned around when he realized nothing was poking in the back and walked over to Seraphina. He placed his hands on Mother's waist and their foreheads touched.
"I hate seeing you being sad, Mum."
"We just did a gnasty thing, Cedric. Mothers and sons shouldn't... I don't want to say it. Your father will know about this." She whispered. "He should know."
"You better tell him about the prophecy. About you and me, Mum."
"There is no you and me, Cedric! And the prophecy is a lie!" she shoved him and slapped him in the face again. "Now go! I can't believe I let you raise your voice at me back in the cabin."
Cedric obeyed, rubbing his red cheek.
An hour later they arrived at a dry land. The forest was cut off, but it didn't end. It was simply obliterated all the way to the mountains that could be seen far on the horizon.
"Is this the border?"
"No," said Seraphina, "the border is further ahead. There's still a long way to go. This is what the area around it looks like. These are traces of war. The crossing point is in that direction."
Seraphina took him a different route, through the wreckage. He walked among charred trees and branches, then unexpectedly stepped on something extremely solid. It wasn't a branch.
Cedric looked beneath his feet and saw a bone. Human bone.
"Go," said Seraphina, kicking without noticing where Cedric was looking. Cedric moved, but first, he looked around again.
"Maybe the end of the world is already happening and we just don't realize it."
They entered a part of the forest that was still intact and came to a small building. Watchtowers, stables, barracks. It was obviously an Imperial outpost on the border.
"Suspiciously empty," whispered Seraphina.
A white bird flew out of the window. "Corvus?" thought Cedric instantly, but he felt the spirit within reassure him that it was still there.
It was not a raven, but a white vulture. Cedirc had never seen such birds before, but he knew for sure somehow that it was a vulture. The bird perched on top of the tower and stared at Cedric.
"We'd better get going, Mum. It's too empty here. I think something is wrong."
"You just got here and already leaving us?" someone said from behind. Cedric wanted to turn around, but the point of an arrow jabbed into his back.
A whistle blew and they were instantly surrounded by 30 men in imperial dark armor. Each had the symbol of eclipse on their chest. A wagon pulled up to the outpost across the road and a young General with a small beard got out.
Seraphina punched a soldier nearest to her in the nose, and he backed away.
"If you think I'm going to give up so easily, Tilidus, you're wrong. Arik will kill you if you even dare to touch me. And you'll do have to hurt me if you're going to get me back to the castle."
"You're absolutely right, my lady," Tilidus gestured for the soldiers to back off.
Cedric stood closer to his mother, snatching up the moon-sword and Riley's dagger.
"Let us go. Tell your soldiers to stand down. Go back to your king. Go and tell Arik that I hate him!" said Seraphina.
"You can tell it to him by yourself when you back, Your Majesty. As I said you are right about everything. I wouldn't want to cause you any harm. But the king has given us clear instructions on what to do with you and how to make you collaborate."
Tilidus suddenly raised left hand and all the archers surrounding them pointed their bows at Cedric.
"Mum?"
