Sirens of Faldion: The Final Bond

by Anya Merchant

  His chest was flat against hers, and he could feel her nipples pushing back against his flesh. Azalea wrapped her arms around him, urging him on for the last few seconds of the act. Kai couldn’t hold out any longer, and this time, he would not stand for her teasing him.

  He let his hips slam into her at a furious pace, his entire body seizing up as he reached the final thrust. Kai’s seed exploded out, flooding into the girl like a river exploding through the wall of a dam. She shuddered and shivered, raking her fingernails against has back, nuzzling her face into the nape of his neck. Kai dissolved into pleasure, his head pounding with ecstasy. The world faded to black, and he let it happen.

  CHAPTER 21

  Kai lost track of how long it went on for, how many times Azalea put him through the same sexual routine. Each time it ended with him blacking out, losing consciousness from the intensity of the pleasure flooding through him. And each time he’d wake up, Azalea would be back at it, laughing and giggling like a school girl with a new favorite toy.

  Kai blinked his eyes open, at least a dozen times through the same pattern. Azalea was crouched next to his cock, slowly licking and sucking. It was a mixture of pleasure and pain, an experience that made him shudder from the contrast. It was getting hard for him to remember why he was there, and what he’d been doing in the first place to end up her captive.

  Azalea bounced her head back and forth, bobbing her lips up and down. Kai felt his heart speeding up to unhealthy levels, and his fingers and toes began twitching in weird motions. It was similar to the reactions he’d heard about happening to people who inhaled too much cannias root smoke, except in his case, an overdose of pleasure.

  “You can let yourself enjoy it,” whispered Azalea. “If there’s anything else I can do to help you along… just say the word.”

  She padded her tongue against the sensitive underside of Kai’s shaft, causing him to let out a pleasure moan.

  “Stop…” he said. “Please. I can’t take it anymore.”

  “You don’t really want me to stop, now do you?” cooed Azalea. “Me, to stop? With my lips? With my mouth, and the rest of my body?”

  A noise came from within the amphitheater behind Kai. It took him a second to recollect his thoughts enough to recognize it as something abnormal and turn around to look.

  Sky stood not far from them in front of one of the white stone walls, her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed. She still wore her new clothes, the fine white dress and leather leggings that she’d bought for herself back at the tailor’s. A flood of memories hit Kai, and he remembered what he was supposed to be doing.

  “Get away from her, Kai,” said Sky. “It’s time for us to go.”

  “You harlot!” screamed Azalea. She pulled her hand back and threw forth a blast of glowing magical energy, which took the form of the brightly colored, neon firefly dots from back in the void.

  The energy came with a foot or so of Sky before deflecting itself off to the side. She had a cold smile on her face, and made a gesture out of running her fingers through her soft blonde hair.

  “You can’t hurt me, demon,” said Sky. “The void is my element. You may as well throw water at a fish.”

  Azalea looked as though she was about to let out a wretched scream, and then hesitated. She slid back down to the ground next to Kai and began stroking off his still hard cock. Kai moaned and looked up, feeling lust surge through him, despite how tired he was.

  “He’s the one who has to make the choice to leave,” said Azalea. “And right now, I do think he’s quite comfortable where he is.”

  Sky frowned and met his eyes. Kai felt suddenly ashamed of himself. He wanted nothing more than to get up, to walk over to Sky, and to get out of amphitheater, the prison of passion he found himself in.

  His body was of another mind. Azalea brought her lips down to his cock and began working them on it with more enthusiasm than she’d used at any point in their sex sessions previously. Kai’s body seemed to insist with every fiber of its being that it would be okay if he waited for another couple of seconds, for just long enough for one more powerful, mind numbing orgasm.

  “Kai.” Sky walked over, ignoring the presence of the lust deity, and crouched down next to him. “Quit being a fool and get on your feet.”

  “I doubt he can even hear you,” whispered Azalea. “And if he can, I doubt your words are a match for my lips… and my body.”

  Azalea took Kai’s hand and pulled it to her breasts. He tried to keep his eyes on Sky, but found himself fighting a losing battle. There was something about Azalea’s sexuality that was overpowering, refined and honed to perfection. And it was too much for him.

  “Kai…” Sky glared at him for a moment, and then let out a strange sigh. Her cheeks flushed bright red, and she blinked several times in quick succession. “You… don’t have to choose, you know.”

  “Don’t listen to her,” whispered Azalea. “Just lean your head back and enjoy it.”

  Kai felt Azalea push her head forward, taking his cock deep into her mouth and what lay beyond it. Still, he forced his attention toward Sky, hanging on her next words, desperate for a solution to his hard problem.

  “If you come back with me through the void, into the physical realm,” said Sky, “We can… have our own fun, there.”

  The words sounded odd, a little forced. Sky’s face burned with shame as she spoke, but she held her expression steady. Slowly, with hesitant movements, she cupped her arms underneath her breasts and leaned forward, showcasing her cleavage for him. Kai felt a pang of something in his chest, not lust, not even desire, but a powerful sense of empathy. She was trying to save him, by any means necessary.

  “Sky…” he whispered. A pulse of energy and willpower waved through him, and he rolled, pulling himself out of Azalea’s reach.

  “No!” shrieked the lust deity. “You cannot leave here, yet!”

  She began to grow in size, returning to the massive, ghostly apparition that Kai had seen originally in the void. He stumbled back into his clothes and Sky seized him by the hand. He felt the familiar sensation of his body being turned inside out just as the lust deity lashed her hand out in a dangerous slap.

  Kai collapsed onto the ground instantly as the two reentered the physical realm. He felt dry clay and crabgrass underneath his fingers, and turned his head to see the road leading toward city of Last Port a couple of miles in the distance. Sky stood over him, frowning.

  “It was a bad idea for you to enter the void with me,” she said. “You don’t have the same protections over you that I do, Kai. This could have ended with a far worse outcome than it did.”

  Kai opened his mouth to respond and let out a harsh, body wracking cough. He took a few deep breaths and focused his thoughts, remembering Selene, remembering the rescue, remembering how close they’d come.

  “You’re right,” he said. “I concede. But it doesn’t matter now. We have to… get back to the compound immediately.”

  “Look up at the sky, Kai,” said Sky. Kai frowned at her, and then glanced up at the clouds. The sun was high overhead, signaling sometime in the late morning or early afternoon. He blinked, realizing what that meant.

  “I was trapped in the void… all night?” he asked, in disbelief.

  “It’s been three days,” said Sky. “I’d almost given up finding you.”

  CHAPTER 22

  “Three days?”

  Kai stared at Sky, his emotions verging on disbelief. Her expression was tired and distant, and she nodded her head slowly.

  “Three days,” she repeated. “I moved outside the city after that... thing, grabbed you. I saw the slaver leave with your friend shortly after.”

  “Selene,” said Kai. “We have to go after her. Immediately. There’s no telling what Terrion’s done. It might already be too late!”

  Kai started heading in an eastern direction, away from Last Port and back toward the river camp. Sky immediately moved to block his path, her eyes flashing with cold,
serious, determination.

  “No,” she said. “We can’t move on them just yet.”

  A thick storm cloud slid in front of the sun above them, darkening the ambient light of the area around them. Kai stared at Sky, feeling his anger and concern vying for dominance over his emotions.

  “I don’t have any ripping time to sit around, Sky!” snapped Kai. “Three days! Terrion’s not the type of master to just let her be for that amount of time.”

  “You’ll get yourself killed if you try to rescue her right now,” said Sky. “We already tried once and failed. And now we’re both exhausted, and Terrion knows we’ll be coming.”

  “I can manage,” said Kai.

  Sky glared at him.

  “I can’t,” she said, her voice dropping into the range of a whisper. “Kai… I used almost all of my magic to find you.”

  Kai exhaled through gritted teeth. His temples pounded out a painful rhythm, the headache brought on by exhaustion, worry, or some combination of the two.

  “Fine,” he said. “How long do you need to rest for?”

  Sky’s cheeks reddened slightly. Her foot fidgeted against a small patch of scrub weed, digging into the dry ground beneath it.

  “I need… more than just rest,” she said. “You’re going to have to give me some of your spirit essence.”

  Kai blinked, realizing what she was saying. He felt a strange sense of paranoia run through him, the experience of having been captured and used by Azalea still fresh in his mind. It was different with Sky, he reminded himself. She was his spirit siren, and technically, he was her master.

  “Alright,” said Kai. “Of course. If that’s what you need, and you’ll be able to help me get Selene back afterward, then it’s no problem.”

  Sky’s cheeks reddened even further. Kai couldn’t help but smile at her, and she glared at him in return, angry at her own vulnerable situation.

  “I have a small camp set up under the tree cover nearby,” said Sky. “We can… spend some time there.”

  Kai nodded slowly and followed after her to the place she’d indicated. He was surprised to find a rough leather tent hidden in the foliage, with a bedroll spread out inside and a moderate amount of food provisions.

  “Did you rob a traveler, or something?” asked Kai.

  “No,” said Sky. “I still had money left over.”

  “Oh.” Kai shrugged, and stood next to the tent. He watched Sky, a little unsure of how to proceed.

  Sky looked supremely uncomfortable. She blushed and fidgeted as though it were her first time, finally waving her hand and stepping in close enough to Kai.

  “Alright,” she said. “Now… kiss me.”

  “You’re kind of bad at this,” said Kai.

  Sky glared at him, and in that moment, he leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers. A shiver of pleasure shot through him, making him tingle to the tips of his fingers and toes. He could smell Sky, like fresh air on a cool summer day.

  She kissed back, and Kai allowed himself to deepen it, putting one hand on her waist and pulling her into him. It was different from the way the encounters with Azalea had been. Sky’s pleasures were based in the natural world and touched with magic, lacking the sickly sweet sense of ecstasy the lust deity had projected.

  Sky pulled back for a moment, running her hand across Kai’s back. She was taking small, quick breaths, excitement running through her. Kai pulled her against him, kissing her neck softly, slowly letting his lips find their way back to her mouth. He was hard, and something about that felt a little wrong. Sky was Sky, his spirit siren, his circumstantial new best friend, not someone for him to be lusting after sexually.

  “We should… slide into the tent,” whispered Sky. “I just need to take a little more.”

  “How much more?” asked Kai. His hands ran down her back, resting on her firm buttocks for a moment. Sky flinched away from the touch, clearly dealing with her own hang ups in regards to what they were doing.

  “I’m going to need a stronger source of your essence,” whispered Sky. She met his gaze for a moment, blushing fiercely, and then tapped Kai’s bulging erection with a single finger.

  “Oh,” said Kai. “Oh!”

  Again, he felt the difference between Sky and her need and how the lust deity had handled him. Sky was nervous, conflicted, and concerned for them both. She had a stake in their friendship, in what came next, and was determined to keep it from getting any more dramatic or emotionally chaotic than it needed to.

  “We’ll do it quick,” whispered Sky. “And we’ll just forget about it afterward.”

  “Right,” said Kai.

  “You don’t actually have to, well you know,” said Sky.

  Kai didn’t know, and frowned slightly. Sky was already sliding into the tent and clearly too embarrassed to elaborate. He crouched down to follow after her and felt his jaw drop open.

  Sky had slid out of her clothes on the way into the tent with the ease and dexterity of a cat. She was naked, and yet still blushing, still trying to cover herself. Her breasts looked larger outside of the dress, and her body was athletic, not muscular, per se, but the best balance between muscle and soft flesh any woman could have found.

  She also had a hand held tightly against her crotch, tighter than the arm covering her breasts. Her naked thighs and gorgeous, pale legs seemed almost to be a third erogenous zone for Kai’s gaze, graceful and sexual at the same time.

  Sky cleared her throat, and Kai realized that he’d been leering at her for several full seconds. He started to slide into the tent, and then hesitated, pausing instead at the edge to disrobe, just as she had.

  He pulled his tunic off and set it to the ground, revealing the lean muscle of his chest and biceps, and also the faint whip scars across his shoulders and back. Sky was watching him intently, much as he’d watched her, drinking in the sight of her partner in the nude.

  Kai slid his trousers down, not bothering to conceal his hard cock as it snapped into view. Sky made a small, almost inaudible noise of surprise when she saw it, and Kai smiled. He’d been told that he was on the well-endowed side before, not that such things had mattered to him much back when he’d been an enslaved man.

  “Alright,” he said, sliding into the tent next to her. “Let’s, uh, just take things slow.”

  Sky nodded, and he saw her relax a little. She was lying across her bedroll, which had just enough room left for Kai to slide in next to her, but not much more. His cock was only an inch away from prodding into her stomach, and it made the situation feel charged with erotic potential.

  Kai shifted, bringing his face in close to Sky’s, and planted a soft kiss on her cheek. She turned his lips to face his, and they shared a proper kiss, her mouth moving against his with more illicit urgency than it had before. They were naked and they were in the tent together. They were there to do something, and they both knew what.

  Sky’s hand slid down the side of Kai’s body, slowly dancing its way down to leg, and then over to his crotch. When the first of her fingers made contact with his hardness, Kai couldn’t stop himself from letting out a moan. It was intense and real, and the pleasure that came from it struck deep to his core in a way that was unlike anything he’d experienced from Azalea.

  “I just need… your essence,” whispered Sky.

  She let the tip of his cock push against the soft center of her palm, and then slowly wrapped her fingers around Kai’s hard cock, giving it a gentle caress. Kai threw his head back against the stiff bedroll, suddenly feeling all of Sky’s sexual presence and power. It was a combination of her magic and her, something irresistible, something that most men would die to get a taste of. It was Sky, his friend and protector, and now lover, out of necessity.

  “Oh, by the heavens,” whispered Kai. “That… that feels good.”

  Sky kept stroking, slowly and sensually. She’d twisted herself at an angle to keep the interesting parts of her breasts out of Kai’s line of sight, and part of him was a little furious
with her for it. But her hand felt incredible, and with it, she had power over him, slowly gripping and controlling him by the point of his masculinity.

  “Are you almost there?” whispered Sky.

  Instead of answering her, Kai slipped a little closer on the bedroll, letting his cock glide across her inner thigh, close to the point. Sky flinched back slightly, giving his cock a squeeze and turning him away at the same time.

  “It would be… too much,” she whispered. “I can’t take that much essence, yet.”

  Kai almost put a protest into words, but Sky was stroking again, rubbing her hand up and down his shaft. The sensation went deep inside of him, as though she was rubbing at his arousal and emotions, pulling the lust out of him, playing with his pleasure.

  “Ohh…” groaned Kai. Sky let out a small, embarrassed giggle, and ran her thumb over the tip of his cock, smearing precum onto her hand and the rest of his shaft. She set the palm of her free hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat as she continued stroking him off, her movements sensual, and a little shy.

  Several minutes passed by in pure ecstasy for Kai. Strange thoughts weaved through his head. Sky was his spirit siren, bound to obey his commands. If he wanted to, he could have her touch, as much of it as he wanted, at a word.

  He suddenly felt dirty and ashamed, no different from Terrion or any other slaver, and forced the idea away. Sky’s hand felt pure, even in the midst of an illicit act. He would never take advantage of their bond like that, or betray her loyalty to him. He couldn’t, not if he was to remain worthy in his own eyes.

  “How about now?” whispered Sky. “Any closer?”

  She spoke the words into his ear, each syllable hot and maddening. Sky kissed Kai’s neck and nibbled slightly on his earlobe, and he suddenly got the feeling that hidden underneath her stoic, hard exterior was a woman with far more sexual depth than he would have assumed.
