Monster Girl Mountain

  “Jack, this is Fieria,” Lelia said. “She is our… how do you say it… she decides what the tribe does.”

  FEAR-ee-uh.

  So I’d been right about the ‘heavy is the head that wears the crown’ part.

  “She’s your leader,” I said.

  “Our leader,” Lelia agreed.

  The tall woman peered at me with curiosity. Her eyes were a deep violet, and contrasted beautifully with the blue of her skin and the long white strands of her hair.

  “Jack,” I said, giving her a slight bow of the head.

  “…Jack…” the woman said tentatively, though it was more like she was just experimenting with the word rather than being afraid of not saying it right. Then she gestured at herself. “Fieria.”

  “Nice to meet you.”

  The tall woman looked at Lelia, who translated. Then Fieria said something else.

  “She says hello and welcome,” Lelia informed me happily.

  “Tell her thank you for me.”

  As Lelia completed the niceties, I glanced around.

  There were five women besides Lelia: Oona, Hala the sentry, Fieria, and the two women by the fire. All of them (with the exception of Lelia) looked at me askance – but none of them as much as Oona, who still regarded me with suspicion.

  I could see there was going to be a problem if we didn’t get shit out in the open early on.

  “Lelia,” I said, “you’d better tell them what Oona saw… and that I’m not like the other vaklik.”

  Fieria seemed surprised to hear one of their own words come out of my mouth.

  Lelia nodded, and began to speak in her own language. The women listened neutrally at first – but as Lelia continued, they looked at Oona in alarm.

  Then they all stared at me.

  I could feel the tension and distrust building.

  Lelia began to speak with more passion, and I could tell she was arguing on my behalf.

  When Lelia was finished, Fieria asked Oona something.

  Oona looked at me fearfully… and then answered in a soft, almost conceding tone.

  “What did she say?” I asked.

  Lelia smiled. “She said you saved her from the skiris, and you also saved me. She does not think you are bad like the other vaklik, but she is still afraid of you.”

  I looked over at Oona and nodded in gratitude. She blushed and dropped her gaze to the ground.

  Fieria reached out and put a hand on my shoulder.

  “Jack,” she said warmly, and smiled.

  I smiled back.

  I was guessing that meant at least a little bit of acceptance on their part.

  Then Fieria frowned, which troubled me –

  But she reached past me and pulled an arrow out of the quiver lashed to my backpack.

  She looked at it, turning it this way and that, and asked something in her own language.

  Lelia responded – then demonstrated.

  She pulled the bow off her shoulder – whipped an arrow out of her own quiver – aimed – and fired.

  The arrow struck a tree with a THOCK! and vibrated in the silence.

  All the woman gasped and stared in wonder – well, all except Oona. She’d already seen us kill the skiris, so an arrow in a tree wasn’t nearly as impressive.

  Lelia pointed at me and said something.

  At that, they seemed to look at me with new respect.

  “What did you say?” I asked.

  “I told them you taught me how to make the arrows and shoot them, and you could teach them, too.” Lelia looked abashed, like she was afraid she had said too much. “That is right, isn’t it, Jack?”

  “Of course,” I reassured her.

  Fieria said something.

  I gave a questioning look at Lelia.

  “She wants to know what you want,” Lelia replied. “She says this is powerful knowledge, and she wants to know what you want if you will teach it to my tribe.”

  “Translate for me, will you?” I asked.

  Lelia nodded and turned to face her friends.

  “I love Lelia,” I said.

  Lelia looked at me in shock. Tears filled her eyes as she smiled at me tenderly – and then she began to speak in her language. “Ola navala Lelia.”

  The women all gasped and looked back and forth between us.

  As I continued to speak, Lelia translated my words.

  “The only thing I want is to stay with her and keep her safe. I know she cares a lot about you, and so I want to help keep you safe, too. I promise to help protect you – ”

  “Promise?” Lelia interrupted.

  “To say something, then do it, no matter what happens.”

  Lelia nodded and translated.

  “I will help you make bows and arrows – ”

  Lelia lifted her bow and an arrow to demonstrate as she named them.

  “And I will help you learn to defend yourselves with them. I will teach you everything I know that might help you. And… if you want… I will help you go get the women that the skiris and the other vaklik took from you.”

  The other women listened to Lelia’s words, and then Fieria asked a question.

  “She wants to know if you would help us kill them for killing our men and taking our friends,” Lelia asked.

  “Revenge,” I said.

  “What?”

  “Revenge. That’s what we call it when you hurt someone who hurt you first.”

  “Revenge,” Lelia said, tasting the word on her tongue.

  “Maybe,” I said. “But if the skiris army is too big, if it’s impossible to do, then no. I want to live with you. I don’t want anyone here to die.”

  Lelia finished translating.

  Fieria regarded me for a long time in silence… and then she spoke.

  “She says that she agrees,” Lelia said. “No revenge if we cannot live.”

  “Good,” I said, and nodded. “Good.”

  Fieria reached out and put her hand on my shoulder and bowed her head.

  “Uh… Lelia?” I asked, not sure what was going on.

  “This is how she makes her promise,” Lelia said.

  “Do I do anything?”

  “No, just stand there.”

  One by one, the women came up to me and put a hand on my shoulder. Lelia was fifth…

  …but Oona was last.

  She regarded me fearfully… then finally came over and put her hand atop the other women’s.

  Fieria lifted her head and smiled.

  The other women (except for Oona) cheered.

  Lelia kissed me. I took her in my arms and kissed her back, and all the women cheered louder. Even Oona smiled.

  I was part of the tribe.

  We all ate together around the campfire. The others hadn’t caught a deer in over a week – spear hunting is a much dicer proposition than bow hunting, after all – so the jerky we’d brought was met with thankful looks and voracious appetites.

  Afterwards, they showed me around their camp – what little there was of it, and what little I could see in the firelight. The sun had set an hour before, and the forest was dark.

  The main thing was the cave where they all slept. I use the term ‘cave’ loosely. It was mostly just a big-ass hole in an outcropping of rock and soil. Somehow they’d found it under all the snow, then dug it out so they could get inside.

  It was about as big as my cave back in the cliff – but unlike mine, which was 95% protected from the elements, this was basically just a hollow in the side of a small ravine. It stretched 15 feet back under the tree roots and soil, but it tapered away to nothing at the end so that you had to crawl back under there. The entire front end of the cave was open-air, too, which pretty much sucked ass.

  “Well, this won’t do,” I muttered as I looked at it, and set to work.

  I broke out the saw on my Craftsman tool, which got the same amazed response from everyone that Lelia had first displayed. After they got over the display of non-Stone-Age
technology, I started sawing down small fir trees – tall enough to lean at an angle from the ground to the upper lip of the cave, and with thick enough branches that they could form a bushy barrier. I stripped one side of the branches off, then placed the trees side by side until I had a nice lean-to protecting the cave from the wind.

  That would have to do for now. I could come up with some more improvements tomorrow when I had more light. Right now I was exhausted.

  Half the women were going to take first watch, then be relieved by others in the middle of the night. Lelia, Oona, and I would be allowed to sleep till morning.

  “I can stand watch, too,” I protested to Lelia once she explained what was going on.

  “Stand watch?” she asked, frowning.

  “It means to stay up late and guard everyone.”

  Lelia shook her head. “Tomorrow night. Tonight we sleep. The others have not traveled like we have.”

  I supposed she was right. I gave in, and we settled in for the night. Lelia, Oona, Mazaria, Hala, and I would sleep; Fieria and Teeka would stand guard, then switch with Mazaria and Hala halfway through the night.

  I passed through the space I’d left in the fir tree barrier and crawled into the cave. The women had covered the ground with furs, so at least that much was comfortable.

  I collapsed wearily at the back. Lelia crawled in next to me and put her backside to me. I draped one arm over her and held her close.

  Oona, Mazaria, and Hala all took up positions closer to the mouth of the cave, by the boundary of fir trees I’d cut.

  Feeling Lelia’s body next to mine, and the softness and heat of her skin, obviously got to me. It had been awhile since we’d had sex, since that quickie during the first night of traveling, and I was feeling the effects of not busting a nut for a couple of days. But since we had no privacy, I gave it no mind.

  Then I felt her hand reach behind her and start massaging my crotch.

  I put my hand on hers to stop her.

  She turned around so she was facing me head-on. “What is wrong?”

  I half-smiled, half-frowned like she was crazy. “We’re not alone,” I whispered.

  She just frowned, no half-smile to be seen. “So?”

  “So we can’t do anything right now.”

  “Why not?”

  I chuckled. “I didn’t know you were so kinky.”

  “…kinky?”

  “Uhhh… that you like unusual things during sex.”

  “Like what?”

  “Like being tied up or being spanked.”

  “What is ‘spanked’?”

  “Later,” I whispered. I didn’t want to get into explaining BDSM at the moment. “We can’t have sex right now.”

  “Why not?” she persisted.

  “They’re right there!” I whispered, gesturing over her body.

  “So?”

  “So?!” I asked in bewildered exasperation. “They’ll see!”

  “So?”

  I couldn’t believe I was having this conversation.

  “Did you have sex with Tarum in front of everybody else?!”

  “Yes,” she said, like it was the most natural thing in the world.

  “…oh,” I said, taken aback.

  I guess when you lived in a cave with a bunch of other people and you wanted to get it on, you weren’t always able to do it in private.

  “And they did it with their men in front of me,” she said softly, then smiled. “I liked watching. They will like watching us.”

  Holy fuck…

  My cock was getting even harder.

  She took my hand and guided it down between her thighs, down under her skirt made of furs.

  My fingers touched her lips.

  She was soaking wet.

  “I want you,” she whispered.

  I swallowed hard.

  Her hand reached up underneath my jacket and down inside my pants, where she found my cock. She began to stroke me.

  “Please,” she begged. “Please fuck me.”

  Oh my god…

  If she wasn’t embarrassed, and nobody else thought it was strange, then was I really going to put up a fight?

  I mean… when in Rome, right?

  I sat up a bit and looked over her body.

  The other three women were all lying motionless, their bodies backlit by the firelight coming in through the entrance of the cave not blocked by the firs.

  Maybe they were asleep.

  I lay back down and looked at Lelia. “If we’re quiet.”

  She grinned wide. “I will try.”

  I kissed her, and she opened her mouth to my tongue.

  As she continued to stroke me, I undid the ties crisscrossing her torso, and her furs came loose. Her gorgeous, full breasts spilled out. I couldn’t see them in the shadows, but I could feel them, soft and heavy in my hand.

  I leaned down and found the hard peak of one nipple. I licked it, then took it into my mouth and began to suck.

  She gasped in pleasure, and frantically started pulling off my clothes.

  The air was cold, but her body was blazing hot. I pressed against her naked skin as she opened her legs to me. I took my cock in my hand and guided it between her legs… and slowly eased inside her.

  She gripped my back tightly, breathing heavily as I entered her all the way. Then I began to move, rocking my hips back and forth.

  We kissed frantically. I tried to keep as quiet as possible, but there was the wet slap slap slap of my crotch against hers as I slipped in and out.

  Suddenly I heard a sound behind us.

  I looked behind me.

  Two of the other elf women – Mazaria and Hala – were looking at us. The only one who wasn’t was Oona.

  I couldn’t see much in the dim light filtering in from the fire, but I could see enough.

  One woman’s breasts were bare, and she was clutching them with one hand as she watched, rubbing her nipples and pinching them between her forefinger and thumb.

  The other woman’s hand was down between her bare thighs, and her hand was moving frantically in the shadows.

  Apparently Lelia wasn’t the only kinky one in her tribe.

  And it was making me even harder and hornier knowing that we were being watched… and that two very attractive women were pleasuring themselves as they watched me fuck Lelia.

  “Don’t stop,” Lelia begged in a whisper. “Don’t – oh!”

  I began fucking her again, our bodies slapping together as I plunged deep inside her.

  Lelia suddenly rolled me over onto my back and straddled me. Her furs, which had only been loosely hanging onto her body, fell away, revealing the beautiful silhouettes of her breasts dangling in front of my face.

  As she grinded against me, her face upturned in pleasure, I leaned up and sucked on one of her nipples.

  As I did, I looked towards the front of the cave…

  …and saw the two women still staring at us, both their hands now moving furiously between their thighs.

  Oona had to be awake – not unless she was the heaviest sleeper in the world – but she was obviously doing her best to ignore the debauchery going on six feet away.

  Lelia tried to keep quiet, but her muffled cries of pleasure came out as tiny little ee ee ee’s from her mouth. I put my hand over her mouth to further stifle her moans, but that just turned her on more. She started bobbing her hips up and down on me, lifting up on my shaft and then slamming back down with a loud slap! slap! slap!

  I was very well aware that the two women at the front of the cave probably had a very hardcore view of what was going on – basically a full-on shot of Lelia’s pussy slamming down on my rock-hard cock.

  Stone-Age porn, if you will.

  They didn’t seem to mind at all. In fact, they were totally enjoying it.

  And unlike Lelia, they weren’t keeping quiet.

  One of them came first.

  She suddenly moaned in pleasure, and her sounds filled the cave.

  “
Unhhhh – unnnnhhhh – UNNNNHHH – ”

  That set off both the other woman and Lelia at the same time.

  Lelia screamed behind my hand. “MMMMMM – ”

  The other women didn’t have a hand over her mouth to quiet her. “OHHHHHH!”

  Three women were coming all around me – one on top of me, the other two from watching me – their feminine voices crying out in orgasm.

  I didn’t stand a chance.

  I exploded inside Lelia as all the women’s cries reached a crescendo.

  I managed to keep quiet though. Or, at least, I kept it down to a violent grunt as my whole body was wracked with pleasure.

  Lelia’s hips gradually slowed down… she leaned over and kissed me… and then she slipped off me and collapsed next to me, her back pressed against my chest.

  “Arm,” she said sleepily. When I offered it to her, she draped it over her ribs and down onto her chest so that I could cup one of her breasts in my palm.

  I looked up over her body to see what the other women were doing. They had collapsed onto their backs, their bare breasts heaving in the dim firelight. Then, gradually, the sounds of their breathing slowed down as they drifted off to sleep.

  I just lay there in amazement.

  My first time doing group sex.

  I just had to die and go to a different planet or plane of existence for it to happen.

  Pretty crazy.

  And pretty fuckin’ hot, too.

  I awoke the next morning with a gentle nudge from Lelia. I opened my eyes to see her tucking away those gorgeous blue breasts of hers behind her fur wrappings.

  “Good morning,” she greeted me sweetly. “Now we get up.”

  I looked past her to the rest of the cave, dimly lit by the morning sun filtering in through the firs. Nobody else was in the cave with us.

  I reached for her breasts and pulled her down for a kiss.

  She smiled and kissed me, then pushed me away with a giggle as she continued dressing. “No, must eat and work.”

  Huh. Guess she didn’t care to do it without an audience.

  Dammit.

  I fought the cold morning air as I quickly put back on my clothes, which I had used as blankets the night before. Then I joined Lelia and the other women outside around the campfire.
