Chapter Title: Reward (3)
The plan was a resounding success.
Too much so, in fact. Lauren wept uncontrollably for nearly an hour, leaving me flustered as I desperately tried to soothe her.
"Nooo, don't raaaape me!! I looove Master so muuuch!!!"
She was so shaken that those words tumbled from her lips. It took everything I had to calm her down, and I was pretty wiped out by the end.
In the end, I melted her away with some gentle, slow lovemaking, holding her close for ages until the late hours of the night before finally slipping out of her room.
Then I quietly returned to my own room, gathered the naked Sia into my arms, and drifted off to sleep.
Slurp!! Sluuurp!! Schluuuurp!!!
The familiar sensation of a blowjob pulled me from sleep. I opened my eyes to find Sia eagerly sucking on my cock.
Lately, she'd been waking me up with morning head every time.
Before long, it'd escalate to morning sex, no doubt.
I gently rested my hand on her head and stroked her hair. She looked up, met my eyes, and flashed a bright smile.
Sluuuuuurp! Pop!!
"Cain!"
She pounced on me.
After a few more bobs on my now rock-hard dick, Sia clung right to my side.
"Up early today, huh?"
"Yeah... Heehee! Kiss...!"
She planted one on me immediately.
Ever since I'd taught her that she had to rinse her mouth after swallowing my cum if she wanted to kiss, she'd cut the blowjob short this time just to lock lips first.
"Sia. Aren't you tired?"
"I ammm..."
"Rest up today. Sex only at night from now on so it doesn't mess with your training, got it?"
"Aww..."
She kept fondling my cock with her hand even as we kissed, puffing out her cheeks in protest.
"And if we go too hard, your pussy gets all rubbed raw and sore. Look—it's bright red right now."
"Huh!? R-Really?"
"We're gonna do it every day from now on, so no overdoing it, okay?"
"Yeah! Got it!! Then we can keep kissing, right?!"
By the time we headed down for breakfast, her lips were so swollen they looked ready to burst.
"..."
"..."
"Cain! Eat this!!"
"Nah, you have it, Sia."
"Ehehe!!"
The mood at the table was... awkward, to say the least.
Sia and I, with our puffy lips, were feeding each other bites and flirting shamelessly, while Lauren sat there with swollen eyes and a voice cracked so hoarse it was barely more than a rasp.
Claude tried calling out to her, concerned, but one look at her vacant stare and he shut up, focusing on his meal instead.
"Hahaha! Still at breakfast?"
"Oh, Uncle Hawk. Grab a seat."
"Hmm? Cain?"
Hawk showed up at the inn a bit early and approached our table, eyeing Sia and me.
"H-Hellooo..."
Sia blushed crimson when their eyes met and gave a shy greeting.
"Hahat! You little rascal!!!"
Wham!!
Hawk grinned lecherously at Sia glued to my side, feeding me bits of bread right into my mouth, then slapped me hard on the back.
"Ow, damn it, that hurts first thing in the morning! Uncle!!"
"Congrats."
"Thanks..."
We finished eating shortly after Hawk arrived and headed out to the clearing for training and workouts.
I stuck around the inn that morning to oversee Sia's exercises.
Splash-!
"Sia, you've gotta go gathering with Lauren."
"Hiiiing..."
We'd finished our workout at the inn and were showering together when Sia kept groping my dick and pressing up against me.
She loved our flirty moments, but now she was always begging for naughty fun whenever we were alone. I couldn't bring myself to turn her down.
Grab-! Smack!!
"Haaaang!!!"
"Just once, then off to gathering. Deal?"
"Hic...! F-Fine... Ohhh!!!"
In the end, I pumped two thick loads into her pussy while we washed up, then stepped out first.
"Mr. Frank."
"Huh, what brings you?"
"The water and..."
"Go easy. You'll wear the girl out."
"Haha..."
These past few days of nonstop sex with Sia had me hauling off a ton of water and towels, so Frank was shooting me worried looks.
"Take what you need. No charge."
"What? Come on, even so."
"Honestly, water and towel costs are just nominal line items baked into the lodging fee. You know that."
"Well... true."
"And no matter how much you guys use, it's not like it's bankrupting me in a day."
Frank was touching my heart again today.
If he'd had a wife or daughter, I'd have considered paying him back by sleeping with her once. Sadly, the old man's a bachelor.
I'd figure out how to repay him later. For now, I headed to Lauren's room.
Knock knock-
-Y-Yes...
Hearing her hoarse, subdued voice, I entered.
"Master...!"
"Hey, it's fine. Stay lying down."
She'd pushed through training despite the lingering effects from last night and was now bedridden.
"Taking the day off?"
"N-Nooo... G-Gathering..."
"Forget it. I'll tell Sia to look after you, so rest up today."
"Y-Yes..."
"You can pay back the money anytime. Don't push yourself."
"Master..."
I knew it might've been a bit much, but I hadn't realized it'd hit her this hard.
"And while you're resting, chat with Sia about taking things to the next level."
"Next... level?"
I stroked her dazedly staring head and explained kindly.
"How long do we keep sneaking into your room to fuck?"
"Ahh..!"
She'd been ramping up the dirty talk with Sia lately, so the next step was obvious: a harem.
This world didn't ban polygamy or multiple wives.
Society shrugged it off with a "whatever floats your boat" attitude. The real hurdle was getting everyone involved to agree.
Even the village chief back home openly kept two households.
"Y-Yes... I'll do my best!!"
"Don't overdo it. Just keep being yourself, okay?"
"Y-Yes...!"
"Rest well."
I gave her lips a light peck.
"Hnnngh!! Th-Thank yooou..."
Puff-!
I'd always handled her more like a master with his slave than with loving touches, so even this gentle kiss had her melting into a puddle as I left her room.
Then I told Sia that Lauren wasn't feeling well and needed nursing, before heading out of the inn.
A few uneventful days passed after that.
Thanks to Uncle Hawk's special training—which he'd promised until month's end—Lauren's dagger throws had improved dramatically in accuracy.
In less than ten days? Even Claude, Frank, and I were stunned. Hawk was strutting a bit, which was annoying to watch, but I owed him, so I kept my mouth shut.
Claude, knowing Sia and I were together now, had been paying extra attention to Lauren.
Not that she had eyes for anyone else.
On the last day of August, after training wrapped up, I spoke to Hawk in the clearing with everyone gathered.
"Uncle."
"Yeah? What's up?"
"Any exploration plans set for next month?"
"Hmm... Nothing fixed. We're just fill-ins anyway, so we go wherever they need us."
I proposed as he stroked his goatee.
"We're holding off on Layer 3 till Lauren hits Level 2. How about we team up for Layer 1 runs?"
"Huh? Didn't you guys push to Layer 2 last time?"
"Yeah."
"Then we'd need another guy stuck on Layer 1. Where you gonna find one?"
Hawk squinted at me.
"That'll be easy. More importantly, help polish Lauren's moves in real combat, and we'll call it square! You take 50% of the mana stone split, and we'll waive the 50 silver you owe us."
"What's your angle, Cain?"
His usual grin was gone, replaced by a wary glare.
"No angle. You know how rough things were before and after we started teaming up with you, right?"
"...Yeah."
"And every time, you looked the other way and helped us out. I ragged on you for being money-grubbing, but that was just teasing. Introductions to shops, all the favors—how much do I owe you?"
"..."
"I know about the brothel ban from that incident too, and how you're pushing yourself because of it."
"..."
"Don't know the full story, but... we wanna help however we can."
Hawk's jaw clenched, his cheek twitching.
"Guh...!"
"Not scheming. Just repaying a debt."
"Hoo... Fine. Deal."
"I'll scout someone suitable. If not by the third, we'll grab a fill-in."
"Sure."
"Lunch together?"
"Nah, heading out."
He left with an unreadable expression—touched, or burdened? Hard to tell.
"Cain."
"Yeah."
"That true?"
"What?"
"About Uncle Hawk overworking."
"Yeah... pretty much."
I'd only given the party the bare bones on Hawk's situation.
"Then we gotta team up, no question! But where do we find a solo Level 1 stuck on Layer 1? Outside fill-in postings?"
"Leave that to me."
I knew just the guy.
