Chapter 9

she was a patient girl though. Every morning and every night she'd take care of her needs under the blanket, even though she only got experience for one of those two. she also desperately searched for a toy but decided a wooden stick just wouldn't cut it. Even she had some places she wouldn't go. she didn't exactly have anything to polish it with and she wasn't about to get splinters in her yahoo.

{Conceal has Increased to LVL 2.}

Unsurprisingly, after their little sexual romp in the spring, Damus was keeping his distance from her. He occasionally glance, blush, and look away; however, he never made any attempt to approach her. she suspected he was frightened of Darius. It turned out that they had brought Damus along as some sort of apprentice adventurer as a favor to one of his relatives. He carried all their bags, did the cooking, the cleaning, and the grunt work, and they'd help him level to a second tier job. It was a common thing in this world, apparently.

she discovered that level 30 was the point at which you changed tiers. An average male adult of about 18 would be between level 20-30 whereas a female villager tended to be about ten levels lower. A skilled worker would gain a tier and spend the rest of their life approaching level 60. The masters of their crafts sat at around level 60. Most higher nobles reached over level 60, but only the best of the best reached 90. Those in this country that exceeded 90 and reached the 4th tier could be counted on one hand. At level 100, someone would undoubtedly be called a hero of legend and there might be one every century.

The first girl finally woke up after another day of travel as it was nearing evening. Min demanded she be allowed to walk, and Darius held no complaint. She traveled right alongside the rest of us. Now that she was awake and moving, she thought that the escape would put the fire back into her. That didn't seem to be the case. She still wore dead eyes and a face that was extremely expressionless. She didn't talk, even when the men tried to get her to answer her story.

Ricardo became very crossed, almost hitting her in the face. It was Marvis who had prevented this from happening. Marvis, she was going to give him the ride of his life. Throughout the entire commotion, Min remained impassive. she had grabbed her and pulled her over to her chest. For a moment, her eyes flashed with something indescribable, but she gave no other signs of acknowledgment. After that, Min seemed to stick closely with her, rarely more than a foot or two from her side. She didn't say anything, nor did she touch her, but whenever she glanced to her side, she was there. This was unfortunately very frustrating because it meant it was impossible to get Marvis in seclusion. At least her dampening mood also kept Darius from flirting as much. Even he seemed to remember how traumatizing this situation was when he looked at her emotionless face.

The other girl, Shay, woke up shortly after that. She showed a little more emotion, but she wore a haunted look in her eyes like she was a second away from collapsing in horror. She tried to hide the look with a smile. She thanked all four men profusely, reminding her that she hadn't done the same. It didn't matter; she'd thank them all individually in her own special way. Well, she might just say the words to Ricardo. His behavior was still no better than her first impression.

Shay explained that she was the daughter of a merchant and they were transporting goods out of Marxville. Min was a mercenary hired to protect the carriage. It was just them, her father, and three other male guards. A pack of fifteen goblins overtook them, killed her father and companions, and then took the pair of them.

"Thank you, thank you so much, you saved me. I'll do anything to repay you!" She said almost pleadingly.

"How big of a merchant was your father?" Ricardo suddenly asked. "Did he have more assets in Marxville? Do you have any other relatives?"

Shay was dumbfounded for a bit but finally regained her composure. "Um… my mom, she passed away when I was little. My dad sunk everything into his merchant caravan. We might be able to recover some of it, I know where we were attacked…"

Ricardo made an annoyed noise through his teeth. "So nothing. And mercenaries aren't going to get me shit either. What about you, girl?"

He glared at her next, but there was nothing in this world for her, so she merely shook her head. "No, sorry."

"Damn it. Three useless twats. Here I thought there might be an award so…"

"Come on, we still might…" Darius tried to speak up but Ricardo slapped his hand.

"I guess we'll just sell them to the slavers. That'll make a decent profit."

"Wait!" that was Damus protesting, "You can't just…"

Ricardo backhanded Damus with barely a movement, not even bothering to look towards him. "Listen well, boy, I may have agreed to take you along, but you certainly don't have a say. I didn't do this to be some fucking hero. I did this for the money. Now, here are three useless girls. They're eating our food, wearing our clothes, using our supplies, and we aren't getting a single thing back from them. Don't act like you guys haven't realized it. At this rate, this expedition will be at a loss. Even if we dumped the girls now and just took care of ourselves, we'll still have lost money. Everything those damn goblins hoarded was trash. They didn't bother to take a thing from that merchant caravan other than the girls, so we didn't earn a damn thing on this raid."

Damus was holding his face in shock while lying on the ground. Darius and Marvis had lowered their eyes, a guilty expression on their faces.

"We can be useful, we can be useful!" Shay begged tears in her eyes. "Whatever I have to do, I'll make it up to you. I'll pay you back, I swear!"

Ricardo eyed her up and down, and then a dark grin popped onto his face. He took two leisurely steps forward, reached around and grabbed her, pulling her towards him. She let out a shriek, struggling to get out of his grip, and it was immediately clear that they both had different ideas on how he ought to be paid back.

"Very well. You can pay me back, but I will collect a high interest and you better start now. If you three girls show us enough appreciation, I might be able to wave some of your fees."

Although Shay was trying to pull away from him, he grabbed onto her head painfully, trying to shove his tongue down her throat. Damus looked away, a look of shame on his face. Darius wasn't looking either, but Marvis was, his hand clenched with barely controlled anger.

Before he could violate the crying Shay more, she reached forward and grabbed his arm. Holy crap, those things were hard and humongous. The second she made contact with him, she released the Seduction skill. she didn't need to touch to do it, but she wasn't going to take any risks. she was also afraid that Seduction would show some kind of physical manifestation that the men could see, but it didn't appear to be the case.

His eyes suddenly snapped over to hers. It was a look of curiosity as if he was playing with a puppy only to notice a cuter puppy on the other side of the room.

"I'd be happy to show you my various uses." she stated, trying to sound provocative. "Perhaps we can go to someplace private and I can thank you thoroughly."

{Seduce has increased to LVL 1.}

So seduce was a skill and a special ability? Well, she guessed seduce was the act of trying to increase someone's affection for her, while Seduction is a special skill that uses stamina to instantly increase someone's affection for her. Was it something like that? she didn't have time to dwell on it though.

"No, give me your appreciation now, or I'll take it from her." He threatens menacingly.

He probably thought she'd choke up at that point. However, this guy was a certain kind of man. He liked to be in control. His rage was used to keep everyone else imbalanced. As long as they couldn't guess his actions, he'd have them wrapped around his finger. He was a berserker in every respect. There was only one way to deal with a berserker like him. she had to make sure that he was absolutely convinced he was in charge, and that everything she did was reacting to him.

Even so, he probably thought she'd squirm and cry. He probably thought she'd say 'thank you' and then beg. He probably thought he'd strip and torture her while making her beg him to stop. Maybe he felt she would perform for him while resisting, only reluctantly performing sexual acts to protect her. Whatever he thought would happen, he probably didn't expect her to drop to her knees, pull out his cock, and start sucking. she was sorry, Marvis, she'll have to break her promise.

There was a brief period of quiet when the only sound that could be heard was the sound of her slurping as his cock slowly sprang to life in her mouth. When she glanced to either side, she saw the shocked expressions on all the people watching. The only exception was Min, who watched expressionlessly. Except there was a slight difference in her eyes. It was almost like a fire burning in her eyes. Was she really that angry for her sake? Maybe she was just pretending.

{Blowjob has increased to LVL 1.}

Oh, finally, a new skill. she felt a surge of excitement and happiness that was completely inappropriate for the current situation. she was glad she had a cock in her mouth, or people would have realized she was smirking.

The moment of silence was followed by a cruel laugh from the man with his cock in her mouth. "Well, aren't you a good little girl? I guess I'll need to break you then, huh?"

He grabbed the back of her head and thrust in. she panicked and barely got her teeth out of the way. His dick pushed past her tongue and struck deep into the back of her throat. she tried to cough, but he didn't really let her. Instead, he started aggressively slamming his cock into the back of her throat, striking her gag reflux immediately.

For a moment, she grew scared.Her face was slamming into his body, still covered with clothing, his dick the only thing sticking out. she had lost complete control of the situation, each thrust causing her to choke on his dick, the urge to throw up, and the feeling that she couldn't breathe overwhelming her.Her body felt horrible like she was being abused like she was a victim.Her mind rebelled against the thought.

No, that's not right. she volunteered for this. This is just one more cock. This was more experience, new skills, and another monster to seduce. Ricardo was her goblin lover replacement, and just like him, she'd make Ricardo hers. she realized that she don't need to breathe. That's right, she can do this for a half of an hour without needing to take a breath. Her body finally started to calm down, and the feeling like she was suffocating went away. It was weird willing herself not to breathe, but the urge to take a breath didn't jump back at her. Instead, she only felt pleasure. Perhaps not sexual pleasure, but the pleasure of a predator preparing to pounce on their unsuspecting prey. she slowly willed herself to regain control of the situation.

Her hands wrapped around his hips, and she immediately got a grip of his ass. she immediately pushed her head forward, plunging his dick deep into the back of her throat, widening her teeth for his entry, bringing him down all the way to the balls until even those ended up in her mouth. she shook her head left and right, sucking and moaning, letting the vibrations in the back of her throat play on the head of his cock. He let out an involuntary moan. The grip on her hair tightened, but it also lost the force that was shoving his dick in.

she pulled her mouth and before he could even react, she plunged him back in deep. she continued to work his cock aggressively, gobbling it up without bothering to take a breath. It wasn't exactly easy. she was continuously choking herself, and even if she didn't have the urge to breathe, his head was blowing right over her gag reflex.Her eyes were watery and she kept making very unpleasant vomiting noises. she gagged a lot, bile rising up and sputum dripping out, and even though it burned the back of her throat, she didn't let up on his dick a bit. she fought for every drip.

{Deep throat has increased to LVL 1.}

Deepthroat and blowjob were different? she didn't feel much of a difference when blowjob reached level 1, but when deep throat did, she felt a reduction in her gag reflex. So there was no gag resistance, but at least she could reduce it with the Deep Throat skill. It felt a little easier keeping it in her mouth. she'll take whatever advantage she could get.

Even though she was aggressive, the battle wasn't won. He fought back aggressively. He'd try to get his hips moving again, going back to slamming his balls on her chin. He'd grab and pull her hair, painfully enough that pain resistance suddenly increased to level 2. He also tried to force her head down, but since every inch of his cock was down her throat, all it served to do was push her teeth up against his pelvis.

It really was a battle between the two of them. This was a fantasy world, and she was in a fight for her life. However, instead of swords and monsters, it was a battle of dominance over this man. she was so focused on the battle at hand, that she had basically forgotten she were doing this in the middle of a forest, surrounded by numerous other people.

{Blowjob has increased to LVL 2.}

{Position Unlocked: Kneeling Blowjob}

However, in the end, the victor was clear. His legs were starting to buckle, his moans coming out loudly, and a moment later hot liquid shot into her throat. she started swallowing it, trying to keep any from going down her trachea. To her benefit, she only ended up coughing up a little. Shortly after, he shoved her shoulders and she fell away his softened cock leaving her mouth with a slurp.

He fell back, landing on his butt, and she merely leaned to her side, supporting herself. Although she had been in complete charge, it might not have appeared that way to everyone else. Marvis was looking at her with sympathy in his eyes while Shay had terror on her face. Although she won, it was still a hard battle and the state of her face probably helped sell the victim card.

Although the entire act probably didn't take more than 5-10 minutes, it felt like an hour. Snot was running down her nose, her eyes were red and puffy, just like her cheeks. Tears were running down her face, her hair was all over the place, and there were cum and sputum dripping down her chin. To the outside world, it looked like she had been brutalized by Ricardo. Only he and she knew truly what went down between the pair of us.

He wasn't angry though. It's probably hard to be angry at someone for sucking your cock too good. she looked him right in the eyes, wiping the evidence of their actions from her chin.

"Thank you, so much, for saving us," she said flatly.

It left a chill in the backbone of everyone there. Finally, Ricardo stood up, putting his dick away.

"We-well, I'll expect more appreciation later. I-I did save your life, after all."

"Oh, you can count on it…" she couldn't see how predatory her eyes looked, but the effect caused Ricardo to retreat for the moment.

Once he left, the other three men walked away, clearly wearing a mixture of guilt and discomfort on their faces. The two girls immediately started caring for her. Well, Min only picked up a towel and handed it to her, but Shay desperately fawned over her. To her, she took a blow that would have been hers otherwise. she saved her from sexual assault and allowed herself to be brutalized for her sake.

"It's okay." She tried to comfort her after seeing the frown on her face. "We'll all be okay, I promise."

She didn't really understand. she didn't even really understand it herself. To her, that was incredibly fun. she was frowning because he took off. That barely used any of her endurance. she was up for another round or three. However, it was clear that nothing else was going to happen that night. It looked like it would just be her and her hand again. she enjoyed herself quite a lot, taking advantage of level 2 conceal to its fullest.

Of course, she hadn't been aware at the time of the effect it had on him. she didn't see the obsession in his eyes, nor the feverish look he had adopted in lieu of their time together. If she had, she might not have been able to sleep so restfully that night.
