Tamer_King of Dinosaurs 3

by Michael-Scott Earle

  I turned Tom back around to my left, and he shook his head to toss the skull parts of the allosaurus free. The last predator had actually halfway crawled loose from Katie’s horns, but it was obvious that he was critically injured, all I was doing now was putting him out of his misery.

  Tom didn’t miss, and he plowed over the carno like a bull through a cardboard cutout.

  I slowed Tom after I had killed the last allosaurus, and then I turned the trike around so that I could head back to the fort. Another bolt of lightning crashed into the ground a bit left of our walls, and the deafening boom of thunder came immediately afterward. We were right in the center of the storm now, and I realized that mother nature was now the next threat that I had to deal with. Being able to control a bunch of badass dinosaurs wasn’t going to help me if I got struck by lightning.

  “Put the gate back up!” I shouted to Liahpa and Sheela as soon as I and the trikes and troodons ran back inside. The women quickly lifted each of the gates, secured them in place, and then I jumped off Tom and set the trikes back to watch duty. The rain was coming down in buckets now, and we ran through ankle deep water before we made it back to the shelters over the two fires. The ground was dry here, and I was thankful that Trel decided to switch gears and work on the shelters.

  Galmine had stayed back at the fire, but her green eyes were wide with worry, and I gave her a quick hug to let her know we were okay. The rest of my friends collapsed beside the two fires, and we watched streaks of lighting tear through the sky and jab into the landscape surrounding us for what felt like ten minutes. None of the lightning struck inside of our fort walls, but a few hit inside of the redwoods, and I worried a bit about a possible fire. There might have actually been some flames, but the rain was beating down hard enough to drown fish, and I was actually surprised that the shelters we had just made were holding up so well.

  “At least the water isn’t cold,” Galmine finally said, and the rest of us turned to see her stick a hand into the downpour. “And we will have fresh water for a few days.”

  “And those big predators are dead,” Sheela said as she smiled at me.

  “And we have a working kiln and a bunch of clay,” Trel said.

  “And we are dry under this shelter,” Liahpa said.

  “Andddddddd…” Kacerie’s voice paused dramatically, and we all turned to the pink-haired woman. “I think I figured it out.”

  “No shit?” I asked as I moved around to look at her bowl.

  “Yep,” she laughed as she showed me the waxy looking white stuff in her bowl. “I just tried a little in the rainwater. It suds up. Doesn’t smell like anything, but try it.”

  Kacerie chipped a bit of it off with her fingers and put in in my hand. It looked just like the Ivory brand soap that my dad liked to use at the clinic, and I quickly reached my hand out into the rain to get it a little wet. Then I rubbed my palms together while the rest of the women watched with excitement plain on their beautiful faces.

  My hands lathered up quickly, and I turned my palms around to show everyone. I couldn’t keep from smiling, and the women all began to clap and cheer.

  Kacerie was suddenly the most popular woman in our group, and Trel was the first one to wrap her arms around the pink-haired woman for a hug. Hugs were actually given all around as my friends celebrated, and I felt my heart swell when I saw everyone getting along so well.

  “Ahhh. This is wonderful,” Trel said as she pulled her bra off and then reached down to shimmy out of her tight underwear.

  “What are you doing?” Liahpa gasped. Trel’s rounded breasts hung a few inches from her face, and the silver woman’s cheeks actually seemed to turn red.

  “Is it not obvious? I am going to take a shower. It has been months!” Trel reached for the bowl of soap and dug out a half hand-sized piece.

  “Careful you don’t get it too wet, or it will dissolve quicker,” Kacerie warned. “Keep it out of the rain.”

  “Bah!” Trel said, but she followed Kacerie’s warning anyway and set it on a clay dish beside the fire. Then the naked woman stepped into the rain and lifted her arms up into the air with a very un-Trel like squeal of pleasure. She was drenched in only a few seconds, and then she stepped back under the canopy to grab the soap.

  I was mesmerized by her movements, but I wasn’t the only one. The entire group watched her swirl the soap between her long black fingers, and then rub the suds over her breasts, armpits, stomach, and arms. She jumped back in the water to rinse off with another squeal of delight. Then she returned to grab more soap, and this time she rubbed it over her hips, legs, and when she saw me watching her, she turned and rubbed the soap over her curvy ass.

  “Kacerie, may I have some soap?” Galmine asked.

  “Sure!” the hairdresser replied as she held the bowl out. Galmine took some, and then she joined Trel out in the rain.

  Sheela pulled her own bra off, and then she wiggled out of her bikini bottom before she walked over to Kacerie for some soap. My three lovers were soon laughing together in the downpour, and they each took turns coming back under the shelter so that they could wash themselves.

  Emerald stood and brought her fingers to the buttons on her blouse. Her shirt hadn’t dried yet from when she ran out into the rain ten minutes ago, and I could see the round shape of her firm breasts and her dark green nipples. She finished unbuttoning her shirt and pulled it off her shoulders, and I couldn’t help but stare at her chest. Despite the scales, her body was perfectly proportioned by human standards, and I felt my mouth go dry when I realized that she was still staring at me.

  Emerald unbuttoned her black slacks and then wiggled her hips as she slid them off. She didn’t wear any underwear, and even though the rest of her body was scaled, there was a small triangle patch of green pubic hair above her vagina. She stared at me the whole time she stripped, but then she turned to reach for some soap from Kacerie before she walked out into the water.

  “Emerald!” Galmine cheered as she gave the other woman a hug, and then Trel clapped and wrapped her arms around both women.

  “Ugh, alright,” Kacerie groaned as she set the bowl of soap on the ground. She flashed her blue eyes to me as she began to unbutton her blouse, and then she smirked a bit and nodded to my clothes. “You coming?”

  “You asking?” I asked as I raised my eyebrows.

  “Maybe,” she laughed, and then she pulled her shirt off. Like all the women I had met on Dinosaurland, Kacerie had an amazing body. Her shoulders and torso tapered down to a narrow waist before gently flaring out to her slender hips. Her skin was creamy smooth like buttermilk, and her breasts were pert. My eyes were drawn to her erect nipples, and their pink color matched her mane of long hair.

  Kacerie bit her bottom lip as her bright blue eyes met mine, and she reached down to slither out of her tight capri jeans. Her underwear was black and hugged her hips like a second skin, but just as I thought she was going to take it off, she giggled, jumped away from the shelter, and skipped over to the rest of the women with her arms up to the rain. They all cheered when she joined them, and Galmine threw her arms around her in a very affectionate hug.

  “Damn,” I sighed and then felt my cheeks flush when I saw Liahpa looking at me. “I’m going to guess that you aren’t going to--”

  “Not with you watching,” she said with a smirk.

  “You know, you did see me naked,” I said.

  “So now you expect me to--”

  “I don’t care,” I said as I pulled my long sleeve uniform shirt off. “I haven’t taken a shower since I got here.” I yanked my boots and socks off, pulled off my jeans and underwear, and then walked out into the rain naked. The women were laughing and dancing with each other some ten feet away from me, and they all gave out a cheer when they saw me step into the rain naked.

  For some reason, getting rained on while wearing clothes kind of sucked, but getting rained on while naked just felt like a shower, so it was great. But then add in five beautiful naked
women, and the shower reached the maximum level of awesome.

  Trel, Galmine, and Sheela were soon standing around me, and three pairs of hands rubbed soap over my shoulders, arms, chest, and back. Trel massaged my scalp with her long pointed fingers, and I felt my consciousness begin to spin and float about my body like some existential form of enlightenment. It only took a few minutes to realize that the reason for my light-headedness was because all the blood had fled my brain and traveled to my penis, but I really didn’t care. Most men could only dream of having one woman as wonderful as Trel, Sheela, or Galmine, and I had all three.

  Once they finished taking care of me, I used the soap on their beautiful bodies. I wanted the experience to last forever, but before I knew it, we were all cleaned, and the group was back under the shelter and laying beside the roasting meats. Kacerie still had her underwear on, and Liahpa was still clothed with her tight-fitting superhero outfit, but everyone else was naked.

  “The soap worked great, Kacerie,” I said as I looked up from where my head rested on Galmine’s soft tummy.

  “Thanks.” Her eyes roamed over my naked body, and the lights from the fires made them twinkle like stars.

  “Now that you have figured out the formula, how easy will it be to make?” I asked.

  “It’s really easy,” she said. “I’ll just need plenty of wood ash and fat. When you go with Galmine to look at plants tomorrow, I’d like to come with you so I can try to find herbs that we can mix in for scents.”

  “You got it,” I said.

  “We have pretty much used the whole bowl,” Kacerie said. “I’d like to use some of it to wash our clothes, but then I’ll totally be out.”

  “If you can make more before I go to give this other tribe their pottery, I can offer some of it for trade.”

  “Ugh, you shouldn’t give them the pottery,” Trel said. “It is dangerous. We got the one bucket of salt from them. It will last us a few months. We can just find our own salt.”

  “It will be good to have trading partners,” I said. “Maybe they can even be allies. I’d like to offer my hand in a careful peace first, and I always keep my word.”

  “That is wise,” Sheela said. “Cooperation is important in a place like Dinosaurland.”

  “We have a good team here,” Liahpa said. “I don’t think we need any others.”

  “There will be other survivors who need saving,” I said to her.

  “Oh, I don’t mean those,” Liahpa said as she waved her hands. “I am just worried about, ahhh, other tribes that might want to join with us.”

  “You mean the other men of those tribes?” Trel scoffed. “You do not need to worry. Victor is the only male worth anything in this universe. Others are just idiots.”

  “Hmmm,” the floating woman said as she glanced across the fire at me. Well, not me really, she was looking at my penis, and even though we were all relaxing after a nice shower, he was ready to party.

  “We should get to bed,” I said as I fought back a yawn and pointed to the slow roasting meat. “I think the venison is pretty much done. We should give it to the troodons. What about the other meat?”

  “I could salt it,” Galmine said, “but perhaps we should use fresher meat.”

  “Okay,” I said as I stood. The women all stared at me with hunger in their eyes, even Liahpa, and I realized that my chest was filling out with muscle. My stomach was now clearly divided in an eight-pack, and I was starting to see the veins form on the bottom set of abdominal muscles. I had been exercising a lot with the camp building, and I was eating plenty of unprocessed food, but it had only been a month and a half since I first arrived on Dinosaurland as a slightly soft dog tamer. I didn’t expect to look like this so quickly.

  “I’m gonna leave my clothes up to dry,” I said as I pointed up to where all of our pants and shirts hung over the kiln. The women just nodded as they stared at me, and I walked quickly out from under the shelter, under the doggie-door gate, past Hope’s small covered stable, and then into the new hut. The rain was still coming down, but the thunder and lightning had passed about an hour ago, and I only got a little wet.

  The fire in my new hut was only orange embers, but I was practically a wizard with flames now, and a few seconds later I had it going again. Then I stretched out on one of the thick grass mats that Galmine and Kacerie had built.

  I was still horny from the shower with all the women, but I was also really fucking tired, and even my mind was having problems doing its usual anxious planning. I was right at the edge of sleep, but then I sensed movement at the door, and I turned my eyes slightly to see Sheela.

  “May I join you?”

  “You never have to ask that,” I chuckled as I beckoned for her to lay down with me. She was naked, and she rested her head on my bicep as I spooned her.

  “I will always ask,” she whispered. “It is my way.”

  “I know, you are too polite.”

  “Today was a good day, Victor,” she said after her breathing became more relaxed. I realized that she was probably just as exhausted as I was since the beautiful warrior woman was constantly working or guarding the camp. I’d actually enjoyed a full night of sleep for the last two nights, but I guessed that she had pulled guard duty for part of those nights.

  “It was a good day,” I said as I moved my fingers to her back and gently stroked the light fur there. “Tomorrow will be better.”

  “I am thankful for you,” she said. “We all are.”

  “I’m just doing my best,” I replied. “So are you.”

  “I think you know that your talents are unique,” Sheela said. “We would be dead without you, and now we have a fort that seems impenetrable to even the largest of carnivores.”

  “I’m not sure about that,” I said. “There are bigger and meaner dinos out there, but yeah, we pretty much kicked those allosaurus’ asses. As I said before, I’ll do anything to protect you.”

  “And we will do anything to protect you,” Sheela said, and I could tell her words were getting heavy.

  I continued stroking her back, and her breathing became deeper. Soon I knew she was asleep, and I kissed her lightly on the shoulder before I closed my eyes and joined her in dreamland.

  Chapter 14

  I woke up to the sound of soft rain and laughter outside my hut. Sheela was still in my arms, and her body tensed a fraction of a second after mine. Then she relaxed when she heard another round of laughter, and I heard the squeaking sound of footsteps across the wet grass. Galmine poked her head into our tent and her green eyes sparkled in the firelight.

  “Hey, you two sleepy heads. I have your dry clothes here. May I come inside?”

  “Yeah,” I said as I untangled my arms from Sheela and accepted my clothes from Galmine. “Sorry we slept in so late.”

  “I don’t mind,” Galmine said as she smiled sweetly. “You both needed your rest. We have a little of the salted tongue left for breakfast, but I’ve fed the rest of the meat to the troodons.”

  “That’s fine,” I said as I put my underwear and pants on. My clothes actually felt a little cleaner, and I turned to Galmine with a raised eyebrow as I pointed to my shirt.

  “After you went to bed last night, Kacerie and I decided to wash everyone’s clothes. They were drying all night over the kiln.”

  “That’s great,” I said as I gave the stone-skinned woman a hug and deep kiss.

  “Ahh, Victor,” Galmine sighed after our lips parted. “If you keep kissing me like that, I will wash your clothes every night.”

  “I don’t think I need it every night,” I said, “but I’d be more than happy to kiss you, or do other fun things with you.”

  “Deal,” Galmine said, “but make sure you thank Kacerie. It was her idea.”

  “I will,” I said as I buckled my belt, put my shirt on, and then looked out the door of my hut. The storm clouds were still dark in the sky above, but the rain was just a light sprinkle.

  I put on my socks and boots and then
wiggled around in my clothes. They felt lighter, softer, and they definitely smelled a hundred times better. I’d never even factored soap in on the list of “shit I needed if the world ever went to shit,” but a month and a half of not bathing or washing clothes had made me appreciate how important soap was. Kacerie’s contribution to our tribe was extremely valuable, and I was excited about seeing how she would refine the process with herbs and other sweet-smelling components.

  I almost felt civilized, and that was a really hard feeling to have in Dinosaurland. Galmine, Sheela, and I left my hut and then walked out to the cooking fires. Everyone else was already awake and laughing at some joke, and we all exchanged our morning greetings before Trel handed me a plate of salted meat.

  “Thanks again for the soap, Kacerie,” I said, and the other women repeated my thanks.

  “Ahhh, it’s nothing,” the pink-haired beauty said as her cheeks turned a bit red. Jinx was sitting at her feet, and he let out a chirp to let her know that he wanted to be petted. She did so as she smiled at me, and he let out a cooing noise.

  “Thanks for washing our clothes, too,” I said as I gnawed on the jerked piece of salted meat.

  “It’s fine,” she said as she scratched behind Jinx’s head. “But now I’m out of soap, so you’ll need to make good on your hunting promises today. I’m going to need more fat.”

  “It’s on my list,” I said as I glanced at Sheela. The blonde woman nodded at me and then I took the last bite of my meat before I cleared my throat to get everyone’s attention.

  “Okay, tribe, we had a great day yesterday and we are going to have another great one today. We talked about our work assignments, but let’s go over it again. Sheela, what are you working on?”

  “Liahpa and I will finish the last of the platforms and then work on weapons. If you need me to hunt with you, I will gladly go.”

  “Great,” I said. “Trel?”

  “Emerald and I will be working on the next two kilns. Galmine has already treated the clay, so as soon as we have the next ovens ready, we will be working on more plates, bowls, cups, and jars to fill the promise that you made to the other group.”
