Shalia looked up from the two dresses that she had placed on her bed to find her mom at the door looking between her and the dresses. There was a small knowing smile on her lips that for some reason caused a light blush to spread on her cheeks. Ever since what happened the day before, Shalia had been unsure how to act around her mother. Not only had she watched the woman get fucked over and over again until she was a quivering mess but she too had been fucked over and over again until she was also a quivering mess in front of her. But while she had been unsure of how to act, her mother didn't seem to have the same difficulties. She had gone on as if nothing had happened. The only subtle change about her was the small smile that played on her lips whenever she looked in her direction. It was the smile of a secret shared. The smile of one who had indulged in a guilty pleasure, except without feeling guilty afterward. On her part, Shalia didn't as yet know how to feel about the whole sit

Shalia was silent for a while as she processed her mother's advice. She could understand what she was getting at with her analogy, but putting it into practice would be quite the challenge for her. First, where exactly the right balance between the two was, she didn't know. Secondly, it wasn't like she was a neutral observer. There was a burning need within her that the boy had sparked, and it wasn't going out any time soon. She had given herself to the boy and for a blissful half a day, that need had been quelled. When she woke up this morning, the need was back stronger than ever. Part of her wanted to blame visiting the boy today on the fact that it had gotten to be routine for her. She, however, was perfectly aware that, in the back of her mind, she'd been hoping that he'd pin her against the wall and take her again. That she couldn't muster the will to push his hand off when he grabbed her ass was proof enough of this. To do as her mother was advising her to, wouldn't just involv

Roka wasn't in any way disrespectful when in the presence of her father. She, however, had noticed there was none of the deep respect in his eyes that the other townspeople had whenever they interacted with her father. It wasn't that he looked down on her father. It was the exact opposite. He didn't look up to her father. In his mind, the Town-head didn't occupy a higher position relative to him. Shalia could see it clearly now, her father's title to the boy was just that, a title. No different than any other random word that one might ascribe to themselves. "Oh, he cares. Just not in the way you think," Her mother countered. "Apart from the natural desires of youth, why do you think he so desires me? Why do you think he has no problem with you pursuing Bran? He may not desire the title of Town-head, but his ego is just as big if not bigger than that of the three families. You and I are trophies to him. Marks of his hunt. Every time he entered me, he reveled in the fact that he was

Although Greg could hear the amusement in Shalia's voice and hadn't detected any jealousy from her, he couldn't help being cautious. After Olivia's warning about how the wrong emotion could lead either Shalia or her mother to reveal everything to the Town-head, he wasn't willing to overlook any signs that things might be going off the rails. After all the contingencies that he and Olivia had come up with the night before, Greg wasn't worried for his life. Killing the Town-head, however, wasn't something he was very keen on doing. If he could avoid letting things get to that point, then that's what he'd do. Shalia turned to him as if taken aback by the question. "I watched you lie with my mom. You encouraged me to go pursue Bran while you took my virginity. Believe me when I say I'm not harboring any delusions of us ending up as a pair," She offered calmly. Greg was relieved to note that there was no anger or bitterness in the girl's voice as she spoke. In her voice was the calm accep

Ting! Ting! Ting! The ringing sound of the blacksmith's hammer filled his house. The log walls muffled the sounds coming from the workshop attached to the blacksmith's house to some extent, but not by much. Greg didn't let it bother him as his hands moved over the nape of Eniya's neck, the blacksmith's wife. Greg had thought it would take much longer for him to cement his role of healer in the minds of the townspeople. He, however, was shocked at how quickly the town accepted this new role. Just three days of moving around taking care of the minor pains and maladies they dealt with every day, and people referred to him as Healer Roka. It wasn't to an obsequious degree, but Greg had noticed that people treated him with much more respect and deference. Even though they all knew that he was still a healer in training, only capable of dealing with minor issues, they gave him the respect of a full-fledged healer. It didn't take a genius to puzzle out why. In their minds, they probably th

When he got there, Greg wasn't surprised to see a man in armor standing guard by the door. Hakor, was one of the guards under the Town-head's employ, and unlike most others, this man was a formidable fighter. Most of the other guards in the Town-head's employ would probably use swarming tactics to overwhelm a foe, Hakor, wasn't one of them. Known and respected as both a formidable brawler and decent with a sword, the man had been tasked with watching over and ensuring the safety of Shalia. It wasn't anything supernatural about his senses that allowed Greg to pick up on the fact that they were being followed, three days prior after dinner at the Valla household. Instead, it was a magical artifact that he'd bought from the magic shop. The Arenia's eye, that's what it was called. A completely dark orb with a spindle-shaped, amethyst-purple line like the pupil of a cat on one side of it. After asking Olivia about it, he'd learned that the Arenia was a cat-like magical beast that was next

When Greg stepped back from the girl, she was already breathless and panting with desire. When she could finally produce sound again, a groan of frustration left her. "This... this is torture," She said, her need coming through in her voice."For both you and me," Greg readily admitted."Can... can I escort you back home today?" She asked. Given all that they'd so far done, it should have been odd for her to hesitate at making such a request. Greg, however, could understand why she did. When she did it before, she was in the role of a servant because of her father's punishment. This time, however, her desire was warring with her pride. To do the same things she did as a servant but of her own free will was galling to her pride. She, however, was burning with desire, and any chance to alleviate her current state was one that she wouldn't turn down.Greg smiled at her, "Sure thing," He replied, before turning and continuing to make his way to the healer's cave...***"I hear that you've

Greg looked around at the empty room he now stood in. It wasn't the largest room in the infirmary, but it was up there. The healer had told him that he could pick whatever tools and furniture he needed from the other rooms in the infirmary. Greg, however, had no such plans. With the Eros shop and the amount of lust points he had, he could easily furnish a room ten times larger than this one. He had so many ideas going through his head that it took an effort of will to just stand there and study the room. He didn't want to jump the gun and buy things that would in the long run turn out to not be that useful or practical. No. If he planned this out just right, this room would end up being the perfect den of lust.Greg still couldn't believe that this was the result of being honest with the healer. Even more than the fact that she would be angry with him, Greg had been afraid that he would hurt the healer's feelings. She had already been hurt by people close to her before and the last th
Chapter 198
Several thoughts passed through Alena's mind as she watched Roka lay the beautiful mat down close to where one could be warmed by the fireplace. Alena had lived long enough and seen the ugly side of the magical world. Enough so to have any naïve hopes or expectations about it thoroughly erased from her psyche. Neither her avatar nor the true Olivia had struck Alena as the kind to be generous just for the sake of it. If they were being generous, it's because they got something in exchange. When the boy had admitted that he planned on having sex with as many of the town's women as possible, it hadn't come as that much of a shock to her. After all, the very first time the boy had introduced his familiar, Olivia had plainly stated that she had certain needs of a more lascivious nature and the boy would be her conduit in scratching this need. Whether it was with her or some other woman, the familiar didn't care. When Roka revealed what he was planning to do, she didn't make the connection
Chapter 199
After almost eight hundred cycles of life, Alena prided herself in having a great composure and a firm hold on her emotions. That's why it came as a surprise to her when she felt a lump forming in her throat and tears threatening to spill from her eyes. It was only through the masterful control she had over her body as a healer that she was able to keep her tear glands from producing the requisite tears. Swallowing hard, Alena had to take a second to compose herself and keep her voice from shaking before she spoke. "You... you don't have to," She said, her voice a lot hoarser than it usually was. "I want to," Came the boy's immediate reply, all the while he was smiling as he took out another plate and started to serve himself some food. It was a simple gesture. Just sitting and talking over some shared food. And yet, somehow, it felt like he had touched some deep part of her. She was like a wounded animal in the corner, consumed by pain and anger at the world, and like a ray of wa
