Chapter 8
The waterfall formed a curtain of water, through which I passed to enter a rocky grotto, where I found Kai and Rex bathing. The blood of their enemies was now washed away and their bodies were smooth and clean. I was suddenly very aware of my own breathing as I watched them. Like most soldiers, who live together in close proximity, they had no self-consciousness about their nudity or about being naked together. My eyes travelled over the tightly packed muscles of Kai’s body, lean and without a wasted inch, every part of him packed with the maximum amount of muscle compressed into a small area. They formed an ever-shifting landscape as he moved.
By contrast, Rex’s muscles were rolling and expansive, seeming to move in slow motion as he bathed himself. Just lifting an arm set off a chain reaction, like a wave of muscle rippling out across his broad body. Biting my lip, I allowed my rudely intrusive gaze to drift below their waists. At first, I thought Kai had the edge on Rex in terms of size, at least, while flaccid, then I realized it was just that Kai looked bigger in comparison to body size. In fact, for all their physical dissimilarity, this was one area where they could have been twins – two very similar cocks hung between the legs of two completely different bodies.
“Hi.” I had been watching in secret, but now announced my presence.
The guys turned to see me, naked, watching them. The water came up to about mid-thigh on me, leaving my breasts, belly, hips and the soft down that covered my center on display. I saw an immediate stirring in Kai’s member.
“Joining us for a bath?” asked Kai. Rex remained silent, his eyes travelling down my body as if he did not want to look but could not help himself.
“I wanted to say thank you.”
I saw a look of uncertainty flash between the two men. Which seemed odd to me. I was sure that they knew their way around women, and had been with more than their fair share, and yet, like Taka, they seemed reticent about being with me, specifically.
“There’s really no need,” said Kai, sounding as if a tussle was going on in his mind.
“Glad to help,” muttered Rex, still staring at my body.
“I want to.” I wanted to say thank you, and more than that. I wanted these men with every fiber of my being.
“Well, we appreciate your gratitude,” said Kai. He seemed to be in a constant fight with his own eyes, trying to keep them on my face while they kept darting lower. “It was no problem.”
But as he spoke, I had boldly gone up to him and kissed him on the lips, lightly and lovingly. As I did so, my hand grasped hold of his cock, fast filling with blood so it seemed to pound hotly in my hand, springing athletically to life. Keeping a hold of Kai, I moved across to Rex, standing on tip toe to kiss him, and feeling his tongue steal between my lips in answer. With my free hand, I sought him out, and was rewarded with his already swelling cock as well.
For a pleasant while, I moved between the pair, kissing them as I stroked their members, Kai’s already a straining column of muscle, Rex’s thick and pulsing. For all that they permitted this treatment and seemed to enjoy it, there was still a reluctance in them. They kept their own hands by their sides, not touching me, just responding to my actions.
As Rex’s cock attained its full and astounding dimensions, I descended to my knees in the cold water in front of Kai and heard him sigh as I took him into my mouth, sucking hard on the smooth rolling it around my tongue. Finally, I felt his touch, as his hand stroked my hair, guiding my head gently back and forth as I took him in long, languid strokes as deep as my throat would allow, my lips caressing his sensitive skin.
“I’m not sure this is a good idea,” Rex murmured thickly to his friend, as I continued to stroke him with my right hand.
“You say that,” Kai’s eyes were closed, his voice tense with pleasure, “but I think we should give it chance.”
“Kai…”
“I mean, how do we know if it’s a good idea or not unless we try it?”
Leaving Kai behind, I dived at Rex, taking him more roughly, sucking hard and fast as my fist ground around the base of his cock. This sort of treatment never lasted long for the boys I had been with back home, Rex was strong enough to take it, but it did seem to weaken his resolve and he groaned as I let my teeth graze the ultra-sensitive head.
Hastily, I switched back to Kai again, going harder, then Rex, going slower. Kai, then Rex, Kai, Rex, Kai, Rex. They both tasted the same to me, salty and masculine, but my work elicited different responses; the rumbling groans of Rex versus the tight sighs of Kai. Kai stroked my hair and moved his hips in tight little circles, feeling out the inside of my mouth, while Rex still kept his hands to himself and arced his hips gently forward and back.
Beneath the water, my own pussy seethed with desire at the sensation of having two men before me at once.
“Keep stroking even when it’s in your mouth,” Kai urged softly. I barely recognized his voice, it was so guttural, which only made me hotter as I complied.
Rex’s motions had become more pronounced now as he rolled his hips against my hand, his chest moving up and down as his breathing grew harsh.
“Slow down or I’m going to come,” he groaned.
With a muffled gasp, I pulled away from Kai just in time to close my lips over a straining Rex. His still hands finally leapt into motion, plunging into my hair as I drew him deeper still, my throat closing over his massive length, hugging it in a death grip as he twitched and jerked. A second later, hot liquid jetted into my mouth, battering the back of my throat.
I gagged for just a second but held tight, taking in all I could with an almost frantic need. His face was so tense, nostrils flaring as he watched, his molten gaze only making me hotter. I pulled back just as he finished, the very last of the hot come splattering onto my breasts, beads of come clinging to my hard nipples.
Kai’s low growl rang in my ears and I turned to find his gaze locked on my chest. I worked his swollen shaft up and down, once, twice and then he watched in awe as it bucked in my hand and exploded, painting my chest with his seed.
For a few moments after, we stayed that way, the three of us, the silence only broken by our labored breathing.
It had been a very pleasurable encounter for me, and I could’ve walked away feeling light as air, but I had not come. As I stood, not sure whether to leave them or to stay, Rex and Kai gently took my arms and guided me between them.
Rex dropped to his knees. and I gasped as his tongue flickered about my core before burrowing into me. I was already on the verge, my pussy bubbling with desire, now, it was all I could do to hold on to my sanity and I clutched at Rex’s thick black hair, tugging on it.
And there was more to come. I felt Kai’s tongue touch my spine, then travel down my body. I shivered as his tongue went between my bum cheeks, twirling about my anus and then… I cried out and grabbed at the heads of both my men as Kai’s tongue pressed into that forbidden hole. Never had any man licked me there before and I never would have expected it to feel so exciting.
With two tongues inside me from the front and behind, I did not last long, screaming out my orgasm, which echoed about the grotto. I started to collapse, but was caught between my two men as they stood up. We kissed and I tasted myself on both their mouths.
“It seemed like they knew you.” It was later now, and the three of us had swum back across the lake and now lay, naked, letting the sun dry our bodies. Rex had gone to sleep but Kai and I were talking.
As with Taka, in the aftermath of sex, the two men had become uncommunicative, and I saw furtive glances pass between them. But it took more than post-coital awkwardness to silence Kai for long, though he made no mention of what had happened under the waterfall. Instead, he returned to the subject of the bandits.
“They were the ones who attacked me on the last day I was in my village,” I confided.
Kai nodded. “Well then. I’m even more glad we killed them.”
I half-smiled. “On the other hand, if it hadn’t been for th
em, I wouldn’t have met you.”
Kai looked away. “I wouldn’t thank them for that.”
What did that mean? Wasn’t he glad we had met?
“You see many bandits about your village?”
I explained the situation to him and he looked thoughtful. “Sometimes I wonder at the things we do for money. Then you see the things that others do and suddenly we look like saints.”
“How did you get together with Taka and everyone?” I asked, genuinely interested.
Kai smiled. “Rex and I were in Lady Cara’s army. He and I have been friends all our lives – grew up in the same village.”
I never would have picked Kai or Rex out as village born.
“We were in a town and some of our own comrades were picking on a kid carrying food home for his mom. There were – I don’t know – three or four of them. Rex and I stepped in to help. Bit of a brawl. Obviously we kicked their asses. We knew there’d be trouble when we got back to camp – technically, soldiers are allowed to pick on, or take food from, whoever they choose, and they’re not allowed to fight with each other. We knew we’d be in the shit for it. Anyway, we’re heading back when this man comes up, says he was watching from a bar window and do we want a job.”
“That was Taka?”
Kai nodded. “Guess he recognized kindred spirits. People who were fighters but didn’t think that meant being assholes.” He shook his head. “Since then, we’ve followed Taka. I guess we’d follow him to the ends of the earth.”
“Because he got you out of being punished.”
Kai shook his head again. “You learn to take that. Taka got us out of the army. Sure, we kill for a living – I’ve no issue with that, it’s war – but we’re not doing it to follow orders. We may not have a lot of ethics, but killing for money is better than killing for ideology, because you have the option of saying no.”
I leaned over and kissed him. At first, he seemed to kiss me back but then he pushed me away.
“No.”
“Why not?”
“You never had a man say no before?”
I shrugged. “Frankly, no.”
“Look,” again there seemed to be a tussle in Kai – I could see in his eyes that he wanted this as much as me and yet, something held him back, “a bit of fun under the waterfall is one thing, but this… It’s not that I don’t want it. You don’t know what’s good for you, girl.”
I slid a hand down Kai’s washboard stomach to grab him, feeling his erection already hard and eager in my hand.
“I know exactly what’s good for me.”
“Damn you.”
Before I knew what was happening, Kai had spun me over onto my back and I gasped as he thrust into me. Our lips mashed together and I ground my hips against his, feeling his hot organ stirring my insides, stretching me beautifully.
“Come on, I don’t want to disturb Rex.”
I felt Kai’s muscles tense as he stood up, taking me with him, still deliciously impaled. I wrapped my legs about his hips, feeling the surprising strength in that narrow body. He carried me back into the water, taking easy confident steps, apparently untroubled by my weight. As we walked, he began bouncing me up and down on his hard cock, making me gasp with each stroke, my hips cracking against his.
“Oh, that’s so good. So good,” I murmured, letting my head loll back.
As the water began to creep up his thighs, Kai stopped and started to fuck me in earnest. I had already observed the energy and athleticism of his compact body, now, I was feeling it. Kai seemed to have endless strength, keeping up a furious pace, setting my breasts bouncing up and down as he pounded away. I let my head roll forwards again to look him in the face, and found him grinning broadly. I kissed him hard, gripping his shoulders to try and work myself up and down, matching his pace.
Suddenly, we were not alone. Rex looked unsure as he waded closer, once again drawn by desire but held back by something else. But whatever his uncertainties, his cock knew what it wanted, stretching before him, leading the way, pointed at me. On an impulse, I reached out to him and Rex strode forward. While Kai continued to fuck me energetically, bouncing my ass against him, I leaned over and put my arms about Rex’s neck, kissing him deeply. His arms folded about me as he kissed me back and I surrendered again to the pleasure of two men.
On some sort of unspoken signal, Kai stopped thrusting and eased me off his still erect cock, to pass me over to his friend. I giggled as I was lifted across, my feet not even touching the ground, then sighed as I was impaled on Rex’s hard prick. Again, the two men’s weapons felt the same, but they used them differently. Rex went slower, cupping my ass with one hand, taking my weight with ease, and bringing me up and down in a slow unctuous rhythm that made my toes curl. I kissed him deeply, overwhelmed by the sensations welling up in my belly. Then, on a whim, I let myself drop backwards. Rex caught me with ease and I lay flat out from him, my hair brushing the water as his muscular arms supported me, his hips never ceasing their achingly slow, achingly wonderful rhythm.
After awhile, I went back to Kai for more bouncing, then back to Rex again, back and forth quicker and quicker so my pussy barely knew what would happen next. My whole body seemed to sparkle with firecrackers of hot ecstasy as the two men pleasured me till I barely kept a grip on consciousness.
Unexpectedly, Rex came up behind me as Kai pounded away. Kai let go of me and Rex slid his arms under my knees, lifting me onto his cock from a new angle. I squealed in surprise and looped an arm around his neck to stop myself tipping over forwards as Rex fucked me with long, delicious strokes. Now, I was facing Kai as Rex fucked me, I was overcome with a new desire. Letting go of Rex’s neck, I let my body fall forwards and Kai caught me in his arms. We kissed briefly and then, recognizing what I wanted, he lowered my body in his strong arms till my head was level with his cock. I sucked him in and reveled at the feel of having two men inside me at once again.
Now, Rex went at me harder, his hips bucking against me while I sucked his friend for all I was worth. It was soon all too much for me; the taste of Kai in my mouth, his cock twitching with imminent release; the feel of Rex’s swollen prick thrusting at me from behind. I cried out as I came, letting go of Kai’s cock for a few seconds before gulping it back in. And just in time, as my men came together, filling me with their seed from both ends at once. The sensation seemed to reignite my orgasm and I came hard again, thrashing about until we all fell over into the water in a laughing heap.
Chapter 9
When we got back to camp, Taka listened to me and to Kai – Rex remained silent – as we told him all the details of what had happened. Well… not all the details, but the stuff concerning the bandit attack and what I had told the guys as we dried off on the shore. The group’s leader said nothing as we spoke, his face quiet and unreadable as he listened, taking everything in. Occasionally he nodded, and at one point, he added ‘Hmm’, under his breath, but that could have meant anything. When we had finished, he said ‘Hmm’ again and then said, “These bandits are an ongoing problem in your village?”
I nodded fervently. “We pay them off with food and stuff, and then they usually won’t kidnap anyone. But sometimes they need people for… for one thing or another, and it doesn’t matter what we do to pay them off.”
“Must be tough when there’s a bad harvest,” nodded Taka, surprising me – I would have bet that he had never even heard the word ‘harvest’.
“Yeah. Some years there’s hardly enough left for us to eat. The bandits don’t care. If we all starve, there are plenty of other villages they can target.”
Taka’s face, which I always found hard to read, took on a look I had not seen before, making it even harder. It was a grim expression, but also a thoughtful one. His eyes were trained in middle distance, as if he was regarding a far off horizon, or the long lost past.
“Bandits,” was all he said when he finally spoke, a low mutter under his breath, not angry, but… tired. As if he was sick of them. As
if he had been dealing with bandits all his life and wanted a break.
“Taka?” It was Luca who spoke, standing over where Taka sat, cross-legged on the ground. Taka looked up to meet his comrade’s eyes and Luca, in a tone far removed from the acerbic Luca I had come to expect, said, “Give the order. You’ll get no quarrel from me.”
Taka giving an order that Luca didn’t quarrel with was practically a first, but in this case, I had no idea what he was talking about. What order?
Taka’s calm gaze shifted to his younger men, his eyebrow slightly raised in question.
“We go where you tell us,” said Kai. “And in this case, it would be a damn pleasure.”
Rex simply inclined his head, the suggestion of a smile tweaking the corners of his moustache.
Taka turned back to me. “After we’ve taken you back to your village, we might stick around for a while. Maybe meet these bandits of yours. I think if we ask them the right way, they might leave you and all the other villages alone.”
“You don’t mean ‘ask’, do you?”
“Not in so many words, no,” admitted Taka.
“You’re going to fight them.”
“Sometimes that’s the only way.”
More bloodshed. It would be bandit bloodshed, of course, but then what happened? The guys wouldn’t be there forever. The only way to make sure the bandits never bothered us again was to kill them all. Was that really what they had in mind?
“There’s a lot of them,” I said. “The gang that troubles us is twenty or thirty people.”
“That’s not so many,” said Rex. “Not if you know what you’re doing.”
“You’re going to kill thirty people?”
Taka met my gaze. “I prefer to see it as saving a village full of people.”
He had a point. But it still seemed impossible. “I don’t want you to die just to help me.”
