Marielle didn't spend too long hanging around Solitude the next morning, thanking Lisette for listening and the affection. Lisettte must have liked her, suggesting Marielle return whenever she could, and that maybe next time, they could have a little physical fun. The idea certainly put a smile on Marielle's face. Lisette was another attractive futanari, in a long line that she'd met, and it was certainly a good excuse to return one day soon.
Not feeling in any particular hurry to return to Riften, as she was already thinking about the ramifications of returning with such news, plus she did wonder who this Karliah was and why she had an apparent axe to grind against the guild, Marielle decided on making two stops on the way.
The first stop was Morthal. Jonna was pleased to see her when walking into her tavern, though Marielle asked if she'd seen Idgrod around latterly. Jonna grinned. "Ah, after something a little different tonight." Her face must have fallen, as Jonna's grin turned to a chuckle. "Sweetie, I certainly understand why you want to see Idgrod. She's so pure, just thinking about it makes me feel better about myself. If she's not here, she's either at the herbalist or the longhouse. And she'll be utterly delighted to see you."
"Speaks about me often?"
"You might be a topic from time to time. She's not the only one fond of you."
"I had a great time, Jonna."
"You're not the only one, sweetie. Hope you might organise something similar again in the future."
"Definitely."
Heading out into the darkness, she tried the door to the herbalist. Finding it locked, she headed for the longhouse. Introducing herself as the Dragonborn, the guard was naturally sceptical, muttering something about he was expecting them to be a man, but he assumed she was harmless so let her inside.
The jarl's throne was empty, but the jarl's steward was still busy at work, approaching me as I looked around. "It is evening, ma'am. The jarl doesn't wish to be disturbed."
"I'm here to see Idgrod the Younger, to be honest."
"Oh. She's upstairs in her room. Who are you?"
"Marielle."
He grinned, and Marielle knew why immediately. "Head upstairs. She'll be delighted to see you."
He wasn't wrong. Knocking lightly on the door, it seemed Idgrod didn't know whether to just simply smile, laugh, or even cry, when their eyes met. What her body decided was a choked sob before she pulled Marielle towards her, bodies moulding as their mouths met, Idgrod spinning her into the room, hearing the door kicked shut.
Breaking the kiss, Idgrod simply gazed into her eyes, stroking her cheek lightly, not a word exchanged as Marielle started to slowly undress her, Idgrod returning the favour. Once they were naked on the bed, Marielle wasted no time guiding Idgrod's seven inches inside her almost achingly wet pussy, almost whimpering with desire as it was buried inside her.
They made love all night. It was only after Idgrod came inside her the first time did they finally exchange their first words. "Needed to see you," Marielle whispered, lying on her side, facing her lover, "Needed someone… as sweet as you are."
"Are you okay, Marielle?"
"I am now. Just had something happen, which could have been far worse, but it's left me a little shaken."
"And you needed me?"
"Idgrod, I think you are the sweetest woman or futanari I know and have been intimate with."
That earned Marielle another kiss, and she was soon on her back again, gasping as Idgrod slid her cock inside her again. Wrapping her legs around her hips, she urged Idgrod on to make love a little faster this time, pressing her fingers into her back as feeling her cock thrust into her. Their mouths rarely parted, but when they did, Idgrod gazing into her eyes, the depth of feeling Marielle could see made her smile. It wasn't desire or lust, there was nothing but love in her eyes. She'd had other lovers look at her exactly the same way. They rarely had a chance to be together, but their very first time together had been incredibly intimate and special.
Before Idgrod came again, Marielle ending up riding her, leaning forward as Idgrod let her control the tempo. Marielle may have enjoyed larger cocks from time to time, but though a couple of inches shorter, at times like that, a cock like hers was absolutely perfect. And proof was always in how she reacted, as she enjoyed her first orgasm in a few days, which was so good, she almost needed a little cry.
"I love watching you orgasm, Marielle," Idgrod stated softly.
Marielle could only giggle as she rested on her chest, feeling her fingers run up and down her back, Idgrod continuing to slowly thrust up into her, earning the occasional gasp from Marielle, whispering for her to keep going until she came inside her again. She certainly kept going for longer, Marielle ending up on her back again, legs wrapped around her as Idgrod started to thrust into her quicker again, her breathing changing, obviously approaching her own orgasm. Marielle leaned up to kiss her, begging for her to cum inside her again.
Idgrod groaned once, a few hard thrusts, then released a louder groan, Marielle smiling as she felt Idgrod fire inside her, one throb of the thick cock inside her after another, feeling the familiar warming sensation of a thick load of futanari cum deep inside. Relaxing back on the bed, Idgrod relaxed on top of her, resting her head next to hers. "Leave your cock inside me as long as you want," Marielle whispered, "Though I can't sleep with you inside me."
Idgrod giggled, which made Marielle giggle as well. "Can you stay?" she asked.
Marielle met her eyes and smiled. "I can stay another night. But…"
"One more night would be perfect, Marielle."
Waking up spooned against her lover the next morning was the perfect way to start the day. Dressing and heading downstairs, she found herself introduced to Jarl Idgrod Ravencrone. It wasn't surprising that her mother approved as she knew exactly who Marielle was. She cracked a joke about 'like mother, like daughter' but insisted she was far too old to worry about such matters. "I'm glad someone looks at my daughter and past her obvious differences."
"Your daughter isn't defined by what's between her legs, my lady."
Idgrod grabbed her hand for that comment. Her mother smiled at them both. "Come, we should break our fast. How long do you intend on remaining, Marielle?"
"One more night. Unfortunately, there are pressing matters than I must attend to."
"I hope you won't be a stranger to our city."
"I have a good reason or two for returning."
Heading outside after breakfast, she was glad to have rugged up. Snow was falling, but it was bright, and that meant it was bitterly cold. Idgrod, being a Nord, didn't feel the cold anywhere near as much as herself, her lover rather excited as they headed off to explore the region, Idgrod explaining she often headed out to gather ingredients.
Having packed a few supplies, they spent all day wandering, Idgrod filling her small basket with all manner of flowers and fungi, stopping around midday, unwrapping a small blanket, nibbling on a little food, drinking a little wine, and spending more time making out, though they refrained from undressing, simply because it was too cold with the snow continuing to fall. Marielle could feel her hard cock underneath her skirt though, and did think about teasing Idgrod. She may have enjoyed it, but it would have been far too tempting to undress completely.
They hadn't ventured too far, so the walk back once it started to darken didn't take too long, torches being lit by town guards as they crossed the bridge back into town. Idgrod suggested the tavern for dinner, finding it rather empty as always. After ordering dinner and drinks, they called out for Jonna to join them. Since it was quiet, she happily joined them, sharing a bottle of wine. Marielle felt a wicked idea cross her mind, and looked at Idgrod.
"Jonna, I think Marielle has an idea."
Jonna laughed. "I know exactly what she's thinking. Are you willing to share?"
Idgrod leaned closer. "Jonna, I've always thought you beautiful. And there's a part of me that loves watching Marielle with her other lovers. The look of pleasure on her face, knowing I see the exact same face when she's with me…"
"Idgrod, I think she'll want us with her together.
"I know, but part of me did enjoy watching."
"You won't be ignored for a second," Marielle said, grabbing her hand, "A threesome means three people participating together."
"If no-one else comes in another two hours, I'll close the inn early and we can have some fun," Jonna said.
As they waited, Jonna eventually heading behind the bar to look business like, though stating she hoped no-one did come in, Marielle decided to have some fun first. She slid under the table, fishing out Idgrod's cock, watching it get hard within seconds, wrapping her lips around her shaft, moaning softly as she sucked her. Idgrod had obviously been excited all day as it didn't take long for Idgrod to fill her mouth with her hot, sweet cum.
Moving out from underneath the table, she approached Jonna and opened her mouth, making her chuckle as she showed her the contents before swallowing it down. She then did the same for Jonna behind the counter. Swallowing the entire length of a Redguard cock wasn't something she could do, but she could swallow enough to get Jonna off. As always, the amount of cum spurted into her mouth was more than she could handle, feeling it flow down her chin, though she managed to swallow enough to satisfy her.
"There, now that I've blown you both, all you're doing later is fucking me," she stated, happily re-joining Idgrod at their table, her lover sitting in a slight daze but a crooked grin on her face that suggested she had enjoyed it very much.
After an hour, Jonna had enough of waiting and locked the door into the tavern, walking by their table, already starting to take off her clothes. Marielle shared a glance with Idgrod, the pair following the example of Jonna, finding her already on the bed by the time they entered, her thick twelve-inch cock already hard, applying oil to it by pumping her shaft.
"What are your intentions tonight, Marielle?" Jonna asked, knowing she would be distracted, "You want a cock in both ends, or you want a true DP."
"I'd love nothing more than that in my arse, Jonna… But I know I should be sensible."
"So I get your arse?" Idgrod asked softly.
"All night, if you want."
Marielle took her time taking Jonna's thick cock inside her, giggling as she had to admit it had been a little while since a Redguard had been in her pussy instead of her arse. "I'm just glad you're here with me and your friend, sweetie," Jonna said, reached up to caress her cheek before Marielle leaned down to kiss her.
Idgrod sat behind her, but apart from feeling her play with her arsehole, she realised quickly that she was going to sit back, letting Jonna enjoy her alone first. Marielle sat up as Idgrod pressed her body into her back. "Love seeing you take such a massive cock," she whispered into her ear.
"Soon as I cum and recover…"
"I'll be gentle as I slide inside your arse, Marielle. Trust me, I definitely want to join in."
Leaning forward, Jonna barely moved, allowing Marielle to control the pace and speed of her movements. Jonna certainly had a grin on her face as Marielle rode her, no doubt enjoying every second as much as Marielle did, who was soon crying out loudly as the first orgasm approached. She sat up, starting ride her even faster, as her climax neared, and when it ripped through her body, she felt Idgrod press into her, also holding her up, as she moaned loudly, her entire body shuddering. Feeling light kisses on her neck, Idgrod simply whispered how beautiful she was, how wonderful it was to see her ride Jonna, how much she liked her…
Marielle didn't want Jonna to stop until she'd cum inside her, lying down on her chest and asking to be fucked, Jonna wrapped her tightly in her arms then did precisely that. It made Marielle moan loudly, even grunt a couple of times, feeling Idgrod run her soft hands up and down her back, teasing her by rubbing the head of her cock against her arsehole.
"Tease," Marielle managed to giggle out in between all the other noises she was making.
Feeling Jonna's cock throb inside her as she came was always a thrill. Marielle loved the thick cock of all her Redguard lovers, and was hoping for an all Redguard gangbang one day in the future. She was trying not to get too addicted to certain things, but it helped they were all as sweet as they thought she was.
When she was feeling ready, Marielle rested on her forearms and looked back at Idgrod. Didn't need to say a word, body language and the look in her eyes suggesting exactly what she wanted next. Idgrod grinned broadly, lighting up her pale face, as she leaned forward, Marielle unable to stop smiling as she felt her thick cock gently slide inside her arse. She was so used to it by now, that even after a few days, it didn't take long for her to be comfortable.
Jonna didn't move, letting Idgrod enjoy fucking her arse for a few minutes, though to call it fucking would be a slight exaggeration, Idgrod leaning forward, resting her forearms beside Marielle's, her thrusts not too hard and keeping them slow, Marielle enjoying every inch that slid inside and out, feeling Idgrod's hot breath on her neck before she felt soft lips nibble at her ear.
"You did look beautiful like this, Marielle," Idgrod whispered, "And Jonna looks delightful when her cock is buried inside you."
"Trust me, loving the feeling too," Jonna added with humour. She didn't move the entire time Idgrod was thrusting into her, Marielle absolutely loving the feeling of her thick cock resting inside her while Idgrod started to slowly but surely pump into her arse quicker, no doubt feeling an orgasm of her own approaching.
When she was getting very close, she felt hands at her hips as Idgrod started to properly fuck her. Moaning away with every thrust, Jonna gently grabbed her head and kissed her, earning a moan into her mouth as she started to gently thrust up into her. It was far too much for Marielle, and before Idgrod could cum inside her, she felt another orgasm arrive so quickly, it made her laugh immediately after the orgasm passed.
Idgrod blasted inside her arse within the next couple of minutes, her own groans matching the others as she immediately leaned down to rest on forearms, Marielle feeling her hard nipples press into her back, Jonna continuing to ever so gently thrust up into her, sharing soft kisses with her as Idgrod continued to leave soft kisses on her neck.
The pair fucked her together after that, Marielle loving both cocks pumping into her, and after the rather tender treatment Idgrod had given her the first time, she obviously shared a glance with Jonna and made a silent agreement, as she was properly fucked the next time. She loved every second, as did her two lovers, fucking her long enough that they both came inside her, staying hard enough that they could keep fucking her even longer until they came again. After that orgasm, including the two more she'd enjoyed, Idgrod needed to pull out and collapse onto the bed, Marielle rolling off and lying to Jonna's other side.
"Well, I needed that," she said.
It must have been something in her tone, as Idgrod and Jonna both asked why. That's when she explained what happened. She didn't get upset about it at all, but naturally her two lovers showed plenty of sympathy but also relief that she was now okay. "I just won't work alone again," she said, repeating the through vocally that now rested in her mind, before turning to Jonna, "Trust me, nothing in regards to my outlook on sex has changed. It was just a bad situation that I thankfully managed to resolve. Now, after that topic, I need something good. Jonna, I want you to fuck my arse."
Jonna and Idgrod both burst into laughter at how eager she sounded, but Jonna kissed her before rolling onto top of her, Idgrod helping out by sliding a pillow under Marielle to prop her up enough, and it didn't take long for Jonna to slide her cock inside her. Her Redguard lover started slow, Idgrod shuffling closer, feeling her soft hand run up and down her chest, as Jonna slowly started to pump her.
Marielle moaned when Idgrod's fingers found their way to her pussy, feeling her slide a couple inside her. Nothing like a cock, obviously, but when her mouth found one of her nipples, and her fingers found her special spot, add that to the thick cock now pounding her arse, and it's little wonder the next orgasm she had was the sort that caused an all over body spasm, somehow begging for Jonna to keep going until she came inside her, while also begging for Idgrod to not stop whatever she was doing with her fingers.
She was exhausted by the time Jonna finally did cum, leaving her cock inside her as both calmed down, Idgrod moving her lips from her nipples to her mouth, the kiss soft on her lips, gentle fingers caressing her cheek. "Hang on, were those same fingers just in my pussy?" she asked, making all three of them giggle. Sliding them into her mouth, there was certainly the lingering taste, but considering she'd sucked plenty of cock that had just been in her pussy, she'd always thought she tasted rather nice.
Waking the next morning, she had to leave as no doubt her friends in Riften would be waiting for her return. After breakfast, she hugged and kissed Jonna goodbye, Idgrod escorting her outside and to the edge of the city. The kiss they shared was… intense.
"I love you, Marielle," Idgrod whispered, "It seems fast, and maybe…"
"Idgrod, I love you too. But… do you mean in love, or just feelings of?"
"Feelings of. I just really, really like you. And I love every time we're together. If we were together permanently, I know I'd fall completely… but I'm realistic." She trailed off with a sigh. Marielle caressed her cheek, earning a smile. "I'm happy, Marielle. I get to have you."
"I'll try not to be a stranger."
Mounting her horse, she headed east towards Whiterun. The entire way, she did wonder who she should visit, or if she should at all. In the end, she headed straight for Breezehome, no sign of Lydia as usual. She thought about heading up to The Bannered Mare, but she knew if that happened, Olfina would see her, or Saadia, or Ysolda, or any one of her number of lovers. And she didn't want to be too distracted. So she stayed at home, leaving at dawn the next morning without being noticed.
She did stop at Shor's Stone on the way for the evening. Being on horseback, she could have easily made it to Riften in the day without stopping, but the thought of a night with Sylgja couldn't be ignored. She was delighted to see her, of course, the pair sharing dinner by the campfire with the other miners before heading inside. There was a lot of kissing before anything else physical happened, Sylgja seemingly happy just to have her presence in her life for a few hours. Both gave into temptation, of course, the lovemaking tender and gentle as it always was. It's why Marielle liked the woman so much. She offered something completely different to most of her lovers.
Like every morning waking up with Sylgja, she felt a desire to stay with her all day, all week, all month, but they both knew that her visits would always be fleeting. That just meant that last kiss they shared before Marielle mounted up even more passionate, both women aware that her mining companions had a good look as they walked past to the nearby mine.
"I'm in Riften at the moment so I'll certainly be passing by more often," Marielle said once mounted up.
"You can stop and stay with me whenever you want, Marielle."
"Leaving Whiterun, I make it here by the evening. Leaving Riften… I guess I can just leave later, or find an excuse to stop here far earlier."
"Your excuse being you'd like to stay with me for a while?"
"Can't think of a better one, Sylgja."
She rode all the way to Riften with a smile on her face. Memories of what happened would linger, but a night with Jonna and Idgrod, and then a night with Sylgja was just what she needed. The fact all the bandits were dead put her mind to rest, and knowing that the Argonian now feared for his life gave her even more comfort. But the mantra of 'don't work alone again' continued to circle her mind. It had been a little too close for comfort.
Leaving her horse outside at the stables, she walked through the gates and came to a stop, realising she had plenty of options available. She could stop to see Mjoll and have a little romance. Haelga for a lot of fun. Maven… to be fucked, perhaps a mother-daughter threesome. The tavern for a drink. Or she could just head downstairs and make her report.
She went with the last thing, the night with Sylgja having satisfied her desire for company, at least for a few more hours, at least. Heading into The Ragged Flagon, she was inundated with questions from Brynjolf, obviously having been gone far longer than expected, but it was the reaction from Vex that certainly made herself and perhaps a few others smile. No words, just one hell of a kiss that near enough made Marielle whimper with desire.
"Grab a room at the tavern tonight," Vex whispered into her ear, "No other company required otherwise."
Marielle didn't need to say a word, simply meeting her eyes and grinning. Brynjolf suggested she head into the cistern to speak to Mercer. He hadn't been worried about her, he had just been wondering where the hell she'd got to. When Brynjolf had suggested she might have found herself in trouble, he didn't care, simply stating he'd just need to send someone else instead.
The only question Mercer asked when she found herself standing before him a couple of minutes later was about what she'd found, in addition to a rather snide comment about how long she'd taken to return with the information he wanted. She swallowed down a number of retorts, not caring if he liked or not personally, but as long as he remained professional, she'd put up with his attitude… for as long as she could before snapping at him.
But it was the revelation of the name she'd discovered which must have sent chills through Mercer's veins. He knew exactly who Karliah was, explaining in brief detail her crimes against the guild, and Mercer personally. But the information she provided also told him exactly where they were headed next. An old Nordic ruin called Snow Veil Sanctum, far to the north, between Windhelm and Winterhold.
"Prepare yourself well, Marielle. Karliah will be unlike any enemy you have faced before. The only reason I'm standing before you now is due to my own skill, and I will admit, a slice of luck. But she must pay for everything she has done to the guild. For our own protection, we will travel separately north. I will pack and leave by this evening. You will follow me tomorrow. I'll scout the area and meet you at the ruin."
Whether he knew I had plans that night or not, I didn't think he did, but at least it meant I could enjoy a little fun with Vex that night. Heading back into the Flagon, I explained to Brynjolf what Mercer had told me. While he didn't hold the hatred for Karliah that Mercer obviously had, he still suggested that taking her down was still the best option, and might even lead to the fortunes of the guild finally reversing. Delvin muttered something under his breath about all the bad luck.
Enjoying a meal at The Bee and Barb later, I paid coin for the usual room, heading upstairs earlier than I usually would, relaxing back with a book as I waited for the knock at the door. The expected knock eventually arrived, Marielle opening the door, Vex stepping forward and kissing her hard without any hesitation. Managing to kick the door shut, there was a desperation in them both to undress and be intimate, Marielle ending up on her back rather quickly as Vex gently spread her legs and lowered her mouth, making her moan within a matter of moments.
"Vex," she breathed. Vex didn't say a word, her mouth almost clamped to her pussy, though her eyes spoke volumes. Marielle nodded. "We'll talk later," she whispered, Vex managing to nod as her mouth was far too busy otherwise.
Vex eventually had her legs pushed back, Marielle holding under her knees, pussy completely exposed, a pair of fingers inside her as Vex was giving her clit her undivided attention. She was looking at her second or third orgasm by now, her mind already too frazzled to remember. The first one had been so good, she was left thinking two or three had simply moulded into one. Vex finally relented when she had Marielle crying out loud again, whimpering that she needed her to stop, otherwise she was going to pass out.
"Never made a woman cum so hard she fainted," Vex stated with humour, but Marielle was relieved when she felt her fingers slowly taken out, Vex leaving light kisses up her body until their eyes met. The next kiss was… breath-taking, running fingers down the back of her blonde lover, feeling more than one healed scar as she did. "You were gone far longer than I expected," she eventually added softly, "I'm not one to worry about anyone…"
"No feelings, remember?"
"Hard not to have them regarding you, Marielle. I'm aware you have others, but when I'm with you like this, hard not to catch feelings."
"Well, I like you a lot too, Vex, though I'm sure that's quite obvious."
Vex turned around, offering her pussy, so Marielle had the opportunity to show how much she liked her in return. She enjoyed hearing the noise her blonde haired lover made, the way her body reacted to what her tongue did. Vex did distract her by resuming her own efforts on her pussy, but Marielle was almost desperate to make her cum in return for what she'd already given her.
After a couple of hours, they were exhausted, both of them feeling rather warm, a little sweaty, and completely satisfied. Cuddling into each other, gazing into the eyes of the other, they continued to make out slowly, fingers caressing the bodies of the other, plenty of girlish giggling at the same time. Vex admitted it was only at moments like that she let her guard down. And only with Marielle.
"I don't trust anyone in this business," she said quietly, "Except you, Marielle."
"Is it the sex?"
"That does help, but no, it's not just that. Bryn's a good man, so is Delvin. The others are okay, but I'm not close to them. But, at the end of the day, it's all about the job. I know you're not just about the guild. I also know you'd never sell us out. Can I be unfailingly honest?" Marielle nodded. "I don't think what we do is evil, nor do I think we are evil. But you are a genuinely good person. Makes me wonder why you're a thief, though there's no missing your skill."
"I stick around for the cute blonde woman I just happen to like a lot."
Vex didn't say anything to that, but when Marielle cuddled against her later, she felt Vex's hot breath on her neck. "Marielle, don't trust Mercer," she breathed, "Just… watch your back."
"I will," Marielle whispered back.
"I really like you too. Too much, in all honesty. Just come back alive."
"Don't plan on dying yet. Want more nights like this."
"I do too."
She slept well that night, waking up before Vex, getting up and dressing quietly, leaving her blonde lover to sleep. Only when she was ready to leave did she lean down and kiss her goodbye, Vex waking up to deepen the kiss, Marielle feel her tongue slide into her mouth. If she wasn't dressed, she would have joined her back in bed. But Vex knew she had to go.
Grabbing her pack and weapons, she headed outside into the misty morning, wrapping her coat tighter as it was colder than normal, wondering if it was an ill omen. Mounting her horse, she calculated how long it would take to make the ruin. She gave herself an idea of two days, thinking it best to avoid Windhelm, so thought Kynesgrove would be best before heading further north the next day.
Pointing her horse north, Marielle had little idea how her life was going to change.
