The titan returned to the gambling house a short while later. His face was splotched with bruises, and his broken nose was swollen, but he waved to us in a friendly fashion before taking a seat at a different game.
I supposed kicking his ass was enough to teach him a little respect. Good.
I played several different games over the course of the next few hours, but by the time I’d mastered everything in the house, I was definitely a rich man. I had more gold coins than I knew what to do with, and I looked helplessly at Elissa and Mahini while scooping them up into a pile.
“I gave my coin pouch to Hal,” I reminded them. “So, I don’t have anything to carry our winnings in.”
“I’ll go talk to one of the wenches,” Elissa suggested. “They’re bound to have something we can use.”
“Take a gold coin for a tip,” I insisted as I pressed the circle of money into her palm.
“Good idea,” she replied, and then she disappeared into the crowd.
“Are you playing another round, sir?” the dealer asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Sure.” I nodded, and then I threw a small stack of gold onto the winning spot.
By the time Elissa returned, I’d won two more rounds and earned an even heftier stack of gold back for my trouble. I’d learned to banter with the other patrons to encourage them to boost their bets, and therefore my winnings.
Then I took the flour sack from Elissa’s hands, and the three of us began to scoop up all my hard-earned gold into the bag.
“We should tread carefully on the way back to the inn,” Mahini warned she shot a suspicious glance at the people enjoying the gambling house around us. “Many thieves will be looking for an easy payout tonight, and everyone knows that you won a substantial amount of coin.”
“They should know better than to mess with a god,” I pointed out with a smirk. “Word of my fight with the big guy should have travelled enough to guarantee our safety, but if not, I will take care of any trouble we may run into. Have no fear, my love.”
The warrior woman bonded to me with both blood and oath nodded solemnly, but the suspicion never left her piercing blue eyes as we waved goodbye to the other players and dipped out of the gambling house.
The cool lake air was refreshing after spending so long in the smoky room, and I inhaled gratefully as I tossed my heavy sack of gold over my shoulder.
“What do you think, ladies?” I asked with a grin. “Should we find a nice tavern to have a drink before bed?”
“Great One, we should get your winnings back to the safety of the inn,” Mahini insisted with furrowed eyebrows.
“When will you learn, Mahini?” I chided gently. “I am the God of Time, and I foresee no trouble in the near future.”
“Very well,” she sighed.
“I think a drink sounds lovely,” Elissa breathed, and she rubbed her bare arms against the chill of the damp air. “I’ve heard of a place that serves warm apple cider, we should see if we can find it.”
“Sounds like an adventure,” I replied, and I took her hand in mine. “Let’s do it.”
Then my two incredibly hot women and I made our way through the dock city in search of a nightcap. I knew we could have had a drink in the gambling house, but I’d grown tired of the smoke and noise, and I wanted something a little more peaceful and quiet so that I could flirt with my women and relax a bit.
It didn’t take us long to find the tavern Elissa referenced, and then we found a shadowy table in the corner. The wench came by to ask us what we wanted, and she returned surprisingly quickly with three mugs of steaming hot apple cider.
The warm beverage took the chill out of my skin, and it warmed my belly pleasantly. I found myself yawning before I’d finished the first mug, though, and I didn’t want to fall asleep in the tavern, so I asked the girls to watch the bag of gold while I went and got some water.
The bartender’s eyebrows shot up in surprise at my request, but he returned a moment later with a mug full of water.
“Not drinking tonight?” he asked as he wiped his dirty rag across the bar top.
“Oh, I’ve had enough already,” I replied in a casual tone. Then a thought struck me. In video games, the bartenders were usually the source of interesting side quests, and I wondered if this world would be any different. “Say, heard anything noteworthy around town lately?”
“Oh, not much,” the bartender returned. “Just people grateful for the clean lake. Unlike folks up in Balerno, we aren’t cursed, so we’re all really thankful for the water we have.”
My ears perked up at the word ‘curse.’ “Balerno, you say? Where’s that at?”
“Lake Balerno is a couple days from here,” the bartender replied. “On the other side of Ivywood.”
“Sounds like they’re in need of some help,” I said thoughtfully.
“More like they’re in need of a miracle,” the bartender chuffed.
“Interesting.” I rubbed my chin as I thought it over. I’d have to look at the map to be sure, but I thought Lake Balerno was close to our original route, so it wouldn’t be like we were going out of our way. Plus, I’d get a good chance to earn some new followers
The girls and I finished our drinks and paid up, and then we headed back to the inn.
Once we were alone inside the room with the door locked behind us, I grabbed my bag of money and turned to my two gorgeous women.
“Take off your clothes,” I commanded.
They obeyed immediately, and I could tell by the way the candlelight shined against the wetness of their thighs that they were both beyond ready for me. I had an idea forming, though, so I left them standing there naked in the flickering flame of the candles.
“What would you like us to do, Bash?” Elissa asked in a husky voice filled with desire.
“Just wait,” I chuckled.
Then I dumped the bag of gold coins out onto the mattress and spread the money across the bed. It wasn’t quite the same as hundred-dollar bills, but I still enjoyed the sensation of making it rain.
“Come here,” I said as I curled my finger to beckon the two women forward. Mahini tried to cover her bareness with her arms, but I pulled her hands away and gave her an encouraging smile. “Remember how much I enjoy looking at you. Your body gives me incredible pleasure.”
“Yes, Great One,” she breathed in a low voice, and a flush crept up the tanned skin of her neck.
I took them each by the hand and led them to the bed, and then I pushed them back onto the pile of coins. The mattress wobbled, and the money danced across the fabric like glimmering shooting stars. I took some of the cool pieces of metal and rubbed them against the two women’s skin, which left goosebumps in my wake. Then I followed the path of the coins with my tongue until I’d caused both girls to shudder with pleasure.
It was just a tease, though, since I wanted to go slow and truly enjoy myself.
“This is lovely,” Elissa observed as she rolled around on the coin covered bed and sifted her fingers through the pile. “I never would have thought to do this.”
“It is rather strange,” Mahini pointed out as she wiggled her ass into a more comfortable position. “But enjoyable.”
“It's a must do after winning in my world,” I explained with a grin, and then I bounced the mattress to make the coins dance again.
The girls giggled as they rode the waves I’d created, and then I grabbed Elissa’s pale, freckled legs and pulled her gorgeous, naked body closer to me.
I knelt on the floor at the edge of the bed while I spread her legs open to reveal her moist entrance.
Elissa twitched as I breathed against her opening, and her legs instinctively parted even further.
Mahini watched in fascination, and she blushed but didn’t look away when I caught her eye.
“You’re next,” I said in a rumbling baritone into Elissa’s crevice.
Both women shuddered with delight at my words, and Mahini’s eyes lit up with longing.
Then
I pooled some spit on my tongue and thrust it into Elissa’s wet tunnel, and I tongue fucked her until she was gasping for breath. Once she was on the verge of a massive orgasm, I flicked my tongue firmly against her clit, which made her legs shake violently against my head.
“Fuckkkkk…” Elissa moaned as her fingers shot to my hair. “Sooo… ohhh…”
I didn’t relent until her cries grew extremely loud, and then I sent her over the edge into a psychotic breakdown of a climax. She was thrashing and screaming my name as her nails dug into my scalp, but still I didn’t let up my tongue assault on her slippery pleasure node.
“Bash, oh, fuck, Bashhhh,” the red-haired beauty gasped as sweat dappled on her forehead and the orgasm rocked through her.
Mahini licked her lips as she watched me closely, and being observed caused an automatic reaction in my loins. My stiff cock pushed against the mattress as I wrapped my lips around Elissa’s opening and gently suckled to slowly bring her down from the orgasmic high.
Then I pulled back, and I grabbed the desert goddess and placed her stomach down on top of the red-haired beauty. Mahini’s tan ass was pushed up into the air, and her dripping entrance was resting against Elissa’s mound. Their two pussies right next to each other was hot as fuck, and I couldn’t resist the urge to lick them both from bottom to bottom.
Mahini moaned as my tongue split her lower lips, and I pushed inward to find her tunnel walls slick with apple-tasting love juices.
I wanted to be inside her, and since I was the God of Time, I had no reason to deny myself.
So, with the sound of coins clinking together creating a staccato background to my motions, I gripped my cock in my hand and aimed it for Mahini’s dripping entrance.
Her pussy clamped down on my dick like it was the first time all over again, and I hissed in pleasure as I buried my entire length inside her tight tunnel.
“Yess!” Mahini cried out with pleasure as I hit her womb entrance with my tip, and she arched her back to push me even deeper inside her.
I fucked her hard and fast, then switched my pace up to a slow, deep stroke. When I could feel my desire to explode begin to mount, I pulled out of Mahini and went lower until my tip was dipping into Elissa’s waiting pussy.
The redhead’s wet entrance pulled me in like a siren calling ships to the rocks, but I would have happily died for the millionth time just to be able to feel this sensation all over again.
I slid my fingers inside Mahini while I fucked Elissa’s slippery tunnel, and the two women moaned out my name in unison while they embraced each other as I fucked them back and forth.
“Bash, Bash, Ohhhh…” was all I could hear as I focused in on the moment with an almost meditative state.
I wanted to absorb as much as possible.
It was close to morning by the time I finished giving them each a half a dozen organs, and I’d managed to pace myself so that I came twice deep inside of each of them. I hadn’t even needed to chime during the entire session, and I realized I was getting really good at pleasuring each of them during my first try. We finally fell asleep contentedly in a pile of limbs, tangled hair, and gold coins, and my last thoughts were of what the next day would bring us.
The next morning dawned bright and early, and the three of us squinted angrily at the sun as it shone through the window and interrupted our blissful sleep.
“Do we have to get up?” Elissa moaned as she snuggled up against my side.
“The journey must go on,” Mahini reminded her from my other side.
The red-haired beauty purred and rubbed my chest absently. “I’m so tired. You wore me out last night.”
“You can stay in bed while Mahini and I go shopping,” I suggested with a loving smile. “Get your rest, we will leave Port Kilwick after our midday meal.”
“Very well,” Elissa said, and she pushed herself up on her elbow to give me a quick kiss. “I like the sound of getting my rest.”
I climbed out of bed with the black-haired goddess on my tail, and once the two of us were dressed in our usual casual garb, I tacked a blanket over the window to block out the light.
Elissa moaned with pleasure and stretched out languidly across the bed. “Thank you, Bash. You are the sweetest husband.”
“Anything for you,” I replied, and I planted a soft kiss on her forehead before I left the room with Mahini at my side.
The two of us went out into the city in search of supplies for the General Store back in Bastianville. The sight of the empty shelves still weighed on me, and I was determined to see if fully stocked soon. By the time I got back to Bastianville, all the town’s worries would be gone, and it would be a place full of blissful citizens. Then I’d stretch my domain further until more and more towns began to follow my rule.
First, though, I had to go get straight with the Duke of Ballard.
Mahini and I went to several different shops until Caelia’s list was taken care of, and then we stopped at some fabric stores to purchase some items for Bellona. Lastly, I found an apothecary store to buy herbs and other things for Theodora, and once I was certain Bastianville’s store owners were going to be pleased with their goods, I arranged for shipment back to my small little town. It would be a while before I made it back to my name sake, so I didn’t want to carry the goods with me.
After our shopping was done, Mahini and I returned to the inn to wake up Elissa. She grumbled a little but didn’t complain when I removed the blanket from the window. Then I ordered us some lunch, and while we waited, we packed up our belongings into our saddlebags.
Our meal consisted of roasted duck with vegetables and buttery crescent rolls, and it reminded me of something French I’d seen on The French Chef with Julia Child as a kid. The food was savory, juicy, and delicious, and I made a mental note to expand my cooking abilities since I’d have so many interesting things to experiment on in this world.
Maybe someday I’d even figure out how to make a chocolate fountain.
We left the inn after our meal, and the horses and mule greeted us with excited whinnies when we reached the stables on the edge of town. I paid the stableboy and tipped him well, and then we mounted up and headed back out onto the open road.
I stopped after a few hours when we reached a crossroad to consult the map, and Mahini clucked to her mule to urge him alongside Goliath.
“Which way are we going, Great One?” the warrior woman asked as she looked curiously at the map.
“We’re taking the road to the right,” I informed her as I pointed in the direction of the fork I planned to take. “To Ivywood.”
“Very well, Great One,” Mahini said as she inclined her head, and the corners of her lips curled up into a smile. “Lead the way.”
“Thank you.” I grinned at the beautiful desert goddess and tapped my heels against Goliath’s side. I patted my horse’s neck as he moved forward, and I murmured to him under my breath. “Who’s a good boy?”
It took us the rest of the day to reach Ivywood, but we didn’t encounter any other travelers on the road. The sun was stretching toward the western horizon as the wooden walls of the town came into view. Fires roared to life beneath the barriers, and the sound of yelling and metal scraping against metal filled the air.
Then the fur clad men came into sight. There were at least fifteen of them, and they carried various weapons from bows and arrows to axes and everything in between.
Fuck.
It looked like I had to kick a bunch of marauding bandits’ asses before I could go to sleep that night.
Such was the life of a god.
Chapter Nine
I quickly made a new save point, and I barely registered the tingling sensation as I pulled my feather sword free from its sheath.
Mahini was already notching an arrow to her bow, but she looked to me for orders.
First, I had to make sure Elissa was safe, so I turned to the tiny redhead astride Star.
“You need to hide while we take care of these bandits,
” I explained in an urgent tone. “Stay out of sight, and scream if they find you.”
“Alright, Bash,” Elissa replied with confident emerald eyes, and she immediately turned her horse’s head to the side of the road. “I’ll be safe, you go save the town.”
I gave her a reassuring smile before I turned back to Mahini.
“Fire at will,” I said with a nod, and then I leaned forward in my saddle and whispered to Goliath. “Let’s kick some ass, buddy.”
The warhorse charged forward when I nudged him with my heels, and I roared out a battle cry as we dashed toward the fur clad bandits. My feather sword felt right in my hand, and I was alive with the thrill of battle. Even with the short amount of time I’d spent in this world, I already felt like I belonged here, and I knew I could save this village.
Goliath galloped across the open field with his ears perked up, and his nostrils flared as I clung to his back and eyed the closest target. An arrow shot through the air and embedded itself into the back of a man further ahead, but I barely registered his death as I cleaved a bandit’s head from his shoulders with one swipe of my feather sword.
Suddenly, an arrow flew from the direction of Ivywood and struck me in the shoulder. I cried out in pain and jerked the reins, and Goliath reared. I was knocked from the warhorse’s back and slammed into the ground.
Chime.
“Shoot the fuckers with the bows first,” I ordered Mahini after I told Elissa to hide. Then I clicked my heels against Goliath’s flanks to urge him forward into battle.
I managed to sever the head of the first bandit I encountered, and I kept a watchful eye out for any rogue arrows as I continued across the battlefield.
Mahini followed my directions perfectly, and the sound of arrows zipping across the battlefield filled my ears. She was firing so fast I could hardly believe I only had one archer on my side.
The second bandit I encountered dodged my sword and flung his dagger toward me and Goliath in a haphazard manner. The blade tumbled end over end, but I knocked it from the air with my feather sword, and it fell harmlessly to the ground. Goliath reared up, but this time I kept my seat, and the giant warhorse brought his iron shoes down onto the man who’d thrown the dagger.
