Soft music started up from a small group of cat-people with instruments and out stepped my bride-to-be with her mother beside her. I held my breath for a moment as the veil over her face partially obscured her from view. I could make out the shape of her face that I knew so well, but other than that, it was shrouded away from me. The dress she wore was entirely made from lace and dragged after her along the ground. It was tight fitting and hugged her thin frame perfectly. The front of the dress came up into halter straps that tied behind her neck, and the fleshy tops of her small breasts peeked out from underneath the lace.
Carmedy’s mother brought the alchemist closer, and I could see the tears in her eyes as they walked up the aisle together. Vivienne held the cat’s hand tightly until the very end of the rows of chairs and the two women parted. Carmedy came closer to me, and I stepped forward and pulled back her veil to reveal her stunning face. The feline smiled up at me as a blush spread across her round cheeks.
I felt my heart swell within my avatar’s chest, and I knew for sure that I was doing the right thing. I wanted to marry Carmedy and I needed to do it to take control of the islands. Thus, it was a win-win situation.
The cat-man behind the altar cleared his throat, and all of us in attendance turned our attention toward him.
“We are here today to celebrate and be witnesses and supporters in the union of the Lord of Valasara, Tamarisch, Tintagal, Machstein and now Canarta and the talented alchemist, Lady Carmedy,” the officiator boomed for all to hear. “We stand here today on the soil of the Qianlong and Akalong breeding ground to unite two people together like the mighty dragons used to do on this very island. We unite these two people like our kind has done for hundreds of years. We are not here for a wedding but instead the welding of two beings together for the rest of eternity. The flame that these two have created together will burn on until the earth crumbles and falls to its death. Master, please take your bride’s paw in your own.”
The officiator instructed me, and I placed my hand over Carmedy’s. The feline glanced up at me, then giggled softly to herself. The alchemist lifted her hand and grabbed onto the metal ornament that held the worn wooden match within its tip. Using both of our hands as one, she scrapped the wooden match against the base of the candelabra and fire burst to life at the end of it.
I adjusted my hand to help her hold the metal device, and the feline smiled widely at me. This was what marriage was about, we were sharing the load even during our wedding voices, and I felt emotion build in the back of my throat. We brought the match closer to the melted candle that had been used for hundreds of years by Carmedy’s family and held the lit match to the wick. It caught flame almost instantly and together; we placed the burnt match and holder down on the table in between the two bowls.
I looked to Carmedy for the next step since I was unfamiliar with the Mauntenraion customs, and she reached for her bowl of dark powder. The feline pinched some of it up between forefinger and thumb, and I copied the motion. Carmedy lifted her hand, and I followed the movement. Both of our hands hovered over the burning flame and slowly, we began to sprinkle the powder onto the lit candle.
The flame brightened, and then crackled loudly. In an instant, Carmedy placed a hand in the middle of my breastplate and pushed me a step backward. The candle’s flame grew in size then exploded upwards into the sky like a fireball. Once it was high over our heads, it crackled and boomed exactly like a firework. I hung my head back and watched as sparks flew through the darkening sky and fizzled out on their way back down to earth.
“By the power vested in me by our Lord and Master, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride.” The officiate grinned widely at me as he gestured toward Carmedy.
I turned right as the feline launched herself at me. I caught her easily, and our lips came together sweetly to the hoots and hollers of all those watching. I kissed her passionately as I pressed her even tighter against my chest. I held her there as her tongue slipped into my mouth, and I felt arousal swirl around my head.
When I finally pulled away and set Carmedy back down, the cat-girl was practically glowing. I reached out and stroked her soft, pink cheek with the back of my hand, then leaned in for just one more kiss from my newest bride.
Chapter Five
I took Carmedy’s hand in mine and looked out over the cheering crowd. The petite alchemist’s mother wiped tears away from her emerald eyes with a worn handkerchief. My newest wife tightened her paw around mine and pulled me down the aisle toward the house. I followed after her as the cheers from the crowd rang in my ears. I wasn’t sure where Carmedy was taking me to, but right now, I would follow her wherever she wanted to go.
“Come on, Master!” the cat-girl giggled as she pulled me into the house, crashed through the apothecary, and then out the front door.
“Where are we going?” I chuckled as I trailed after her.
“Somewhere special!” the black-haired feline grinned as she led me up the streets higher into the city. “Where it can be just the two of us for the rest of the night!”
The sun was starting to set as we raced through the streets, and Carmedy giggled most of the way to wherever we were going. I followed her obediently, and the petite alchemist only stopped when we reached our destination. The street was mostly empty except for a low building at the end. The building was entirely made from wooden boards like the structure we’d seen when we met the kitsune, but this was more natural-looking and man-made. A haze hung in the air behind the building and collected in the tall trees, almost like wisps of loose cotton.
“What is this place?” I asked with furrowed brows as Carmedy excitedly hopped from one foot to the other.
“It’s an inn, but that’s not the really fun part! It’s a natural hot spring!” The alchemist smiled as she pulled me toward the open archway into the building. “Remember when we went to the hot springs with Rana? That was so great, remember how we washed your body, Master?”
“Of course, I could never forget,” I smiled as I remembered that was also the night I’d taken Rana’s virginity. “Are we going to stay here tonight?”
“Yeah, since we can’t really go away on a honeymoon right now because we have to leave soon, my parents paid for us to stay the night here as a little wedding present! Isn’t that nice?”
“That is very kind of them,” I agreed as Carmedy ducked inside the entrance and hurried over to the front counter.
An older cat-man stood behind the counter and glanced up at us from behind round, wire-rimmed glasses. His ears were nearly bald, and the left one had a chunk missing from it, but he smiled welcomingly at us as he placed a worn sign-in book on top of the counter.
“Welcome to Aita Hot Springs, my name is Archibald, how many I help you?” the older cat smiled, and the corners of his eyes wrinkled three times.
“We have a reservation,” Carmedy giggled as she slipped her hand into mine and leaned against me tenderly. “It should be under--”
The feline didn’t get to finish before Archibald’s eyes fell on me, and they widened to the size of dinner plates.
“Y-you…I’ve heard of you, you’re Master,” the owner of the hot spring whispered as he came around the corner and bowed so low that his ears brushed the wooden floorboards. “You’re the new ruler of the Canartian islands! It is a pleasure and honor to meet you. Thank you for choosing my hot springs to bring your new bride, if there is anything you need, please let me know, and I will get it for you free of charge.”
“That will be unnecessary.” I bowed my head to him, but Carmedy shook her head vehemently.
“I’d like the food delivered to our room as soon as possible,” The feline blurted out, and Archibald came around the counter and grabbed a pencil and paper to write down what she wanted.
“And what would you like?” Archibald grinned as he held the pencil tip to the paper, but I didn’t think he expected the flurry of requests that spilled from my new wife’s mouth.
�
��I want chicken alfredo, an omelet, two pork chops, a serving of green beans, five hotdogs with ketchup, mustard and relish, one roasted duck and three grilled spicy salamanders with honey mustard dipping sauce,” the alchemist grinned and Archibald’s eyes widened as his hand hastily wrote down all the foods she’d listed off. “Oh! And all the desserts that you have on hand, especially anything with chocolate and whipped cream please!”
“O-of course, it may take a bit longer than expected, but I will get it all for you in a jiffy.” Archibald grinned nervously as he reached out and grabbed onto a yellow cord attached to the wall.
The hot spring owner pulled down on it, and a loud gong rang through the entire building. The clatter of wooden shoes reached our ears as someone hurried up the stairs to our left, and a small cat-boy appeared in a uniform similar to Archibald’s.
The boy looked to be about eleven or twelve, and his messy brown hair fell into his eyes as he nearly tumbled to the ground. I reached out and caught him right before he was about to make contact with the hard floor, and the boy looked up into my eyes in surprise.
“T-thank you, Mister.” The small boy stuttered as I lifted him back to his feet.
“Isora, this is the new ruler of the Canartian islands, please have more respect, my boy.” Archibald cried in exasperation.
Isora gasped loudly then threw himself onto the floor where he bowed humbly at my feet.
“Please accept my apology. I am very sorry if I caused you any trouble, my lord!” the small cat-boy cried into the floor.
I bent down beside him and placed a heavy hand on his shoulder. Isora raised his head, and I saw then that his eyes were filled with fear in my presence. I stared into his mint-colored eyes for a moment then silently helped the boy to his feet.
“Please accept my apologies, Master and Lady, please follow me to your room,” Isora whispered under his breath as he bowed his head and gestured toward the stairs he’d just tripped on.
“That’s a good boy,” Archibald nodded as he snapped the sign-in book closed and stowed it behind the counter. “If you need absolutely anything, please ring the bell by your door and either Isora or I will come immediately.”
“Thank you so much! Don’t forget my dinner!” Carmedy waved as the young boy led us down the spiraling stairs.
The stairwell was dark, but every few steps, there were small shelves in the wall with overflowing ferns and succulents that gave off a relaxing feel to the whole place. In the distance, I could hear the faint sound of running water, and as we stepped off the stairs, the sound became louder. Isora led us down a spacious hallway lit only by small flickering candles.
Small square windows were cut into the wall and gave us a gorgeous view of the mountainside and a roaring waterfall in the distance. Soft, relaxing music played all around us, and though I couldn’t pinpoint exactly where it came from, it added to the calm ambiance around us. Isora padded down the hall and only turned back to look at us once he stopped in front of the massive oak door that seemed to glow in the half-light.
The tiny boy pulled out a massive ring of keys and flipped through them without even having to look at them. He found the one he was looking for and unlocked the door, then swung it open for us. He stepped aside and gestured dramatically with both hands for us to enter.
The room was brightly lit compared to the hallway, and a refreshing breeze rustled in from the open double doors at the opposite side of the room. Everything was decorated in dark browns and mint greens that contrasted each other perfectly. The room was spacious with the large bed in the corner to our left and a small sitting area to our right. The double doors were straight ahead of us and led out onto a patio. Beyond the patio was a steaming pool coming off the much larger waterfall. We had our very own private open-air hot spring all to ourselves, and I couldn’t wait to get Carmedy alone in it.
The feline came to stand beside me as we looked out of the open doors. This was the perfect place to spend our first night as a married couple, and I glanced down at the alchemist. Her sparkling emerald eyes were trained on the steaming hot spring intently, and when she glanced up at me, I could see the desire within them.
“Will you need anything else, Master?” Isora asked with his hand on the doorknob.
“No, thank you for your service,” I smiled to him as I crossed the room and reached into my void pocket. I produced a single gold coin and pressed it into the palm of his tiny hand. “Spend it well, young man.”
“Thank you, Master!” Isora cried happily as he stared down at the gold coin in wonder.
The young boy scampered off down the hall, and I closed the door behind him then locked it for good measure. When I turned back, Carmedy was gone from the room, and a trail of clothes followed after her as she beckoned to me from the hot springs. Her lacy dress lay on the floor at the door, and I was careful to step over the discarded article of clothing. I trailed after her, stepped past a pair of stockings, then a white lacy bra, and as I came closer to the hot spring, the feline stepped out of her panties and let them drop to the ground.
Carmedy held her pert breasts in her paws, and her slinky black tail obscured her pubic mound from view, but she turned in the evening light, and her bare, ivory skin shone. I felt my member harden in my pants as the cat-girl dipped a toe in the steaming water and let out an deep moan. Shivers ran up and down my skin as I quickly pulled my armor away from my body and stood at the lip of the pool completely naked.
My member flexed and throbbed as Carmedy dipped down in the water once then rose up. Water trickled down her bare breasts, and her dark nipples hardened in the half-light. My shadow overcame her as she stood in the water and took my penis into her hand. I groaned aloud as she began to move her paw up and down my length in slow, smooth strokes. The alchemist leaned forward and took me into her mouth. Her tongue moved over the head of my penis, and I felt myself twitch in pleasure. It’d been so long since she’d done this for me, since the time between the tents in Tamarisch, and I felt as if I could cum at any second as she pleasured me with her sweet mouth.
Carmedy pushed me deeper between her lips until I felt her hot breath on my pelvis as she took me entirely into her mouth. The kitten made a soft squeal as my member flexed in her mouth and bumped against the back of her throat. More explicit sounds escaped my lips as I placed my hand on the back of her head and bobbed her mouth up and down on my member. Carmedy moaned with her mouth filled with me, and one of her paws snaked out and cupped my balls into her palm. She touched them tenderly, and I threw my head back as I moaned into the open air.
The alchemist moved even faster, and her slurping sounds became louder as she desperately sucked on my penis. I felt as if I was about to burst, so I gripped the cat-girl by the shoulders and pulled her away from me. Saliva dripped down her chin, and she licked at her wet lips with her pink tongue. I stared down at her as I lowered my right foot into the hot water, and then the left one.
Carmedy waded backward in the water as I stepped fully in then lowered myself onto the stone seat in the water. The feline came closer as she lifted her paws out of the water and let the steaming liquid drip onto her bare shoulders and breasts.
My right hand shot out and grabbed her roughly by the wrist. I savagely pulled her to me, gripped her by the thin hips, and positioned her slender form over mine. Typically, I wouldn’t handle my women like this, but this was how Carmedy liked me to be with her when we were intimate. She wanted me to be rough with her and show her her place.
In the steaming water, the head of my penis brushed against her lips, and Carmedy mewled as she spread her legs for me to enter.
I held onto her tightly and lowered her onto my cock. The cat-girl’s lips spread as I pushed deep inside of her, and Carmedy’s head fell back as she moaned in pleasure. Her small breasts bobbed out of the water, and I attacked the left one with my mouth. I took her hardened nipple into my mouth and bit down on it gently. The cat-girl moaned even louder as she adjusted her legs and forced me in de
eper. I grunted and then thrust up inside of her.
I began slowly, just the way that Carmedy liked it, and I pulled out of her then thrust back up into her at a painstaking speed. The water around us was hot, and Carmedy’s vagina felt like exquisite silk wrapping around my penis. I moved inside of her at such a slow speed, and the feline’s head rolled back between her shoulder blades as she moaned and mewled sweetly. Sweat rolled down her temples, and when she opened her eyes, they were heated with lust, and I knew she was close to her first climax.
I pulled out of her quickly, then thrust back in roughly. I did it over and over until the feline’s paws slammed down onto my shoulders, and her nails dug into my flesh. Her hips rolled and bucked against me as I pushed her closer to orgasm. Sweet obscenities fell from her plump lips, and I smashed my mouth to hers as I cupped the back of her head. My tongue slipped into her mouth and wrapped around hers as I slammed inside of her vagina with all of my might.
Carmedy moaned against my lips, but the sound was caught in my own mouth. I ran the fingers of my right hand through her short, black hair as my left hand cupped the smooth flesh of her perfect ass. I squeezed it hard as I forced her down hard on my member. From the heated look in Carmedy’s eyes, I could tell she was close to her first orgasm, and I dropped my hand from her hair to join my other by the base of her tail.
I gripped her hard and bounced her on top of my cock. Her breasts jiggled and bobbed in the steaming water as the feline screamed in ecstasy.
“Yes, Master! Yes!” Carmedy moaned as her mouth fell open, and her vagina tightened and convulsed around my member.
