15: Connected
The forest opened up and encircled a handful of desolate wooden huts. They were damaged, their walls rotten, their interiors absent of life. Nature had begun it's work reclaiming the structures. It reminded Jonathan of pictures he had seen online of the Chernobyl exclusion zone, everything looked as if it was frozen in time. Only a single structure remained seemingly untouched by the ravages of time, the largest hut in the centre of the forest clearing.
"What happened here?" Jonathan asked in a hushed voice.
"Years ago, the Empire sent its soldiers to try and subdue the forest and it's people." Talitha looked past her village and gazed into the forest. "We did everything we could to stop them. We would not be tamed but no matter how many we defeated, more would come, and in time, we were overrun. Most of us were either killed by the soldiers or captured and taken away. In the end I was the only one that remained. I wanted to keep fighting but my chieftain ordered me to hide. I obeyed."
"Damn, I am sorry to hear that." Those were Jonathan's go to words. He didn't do well in these situations. But his words weren't empty, he truly felt sorry for her. Saikhi awkwardly placed her hand on Talitha's shoulder, attempting to bring comfort to her new companion.
"The Empire has a lot to answer for." Saikhi said softly thinking back to her own people's mistreatment at their hands.
Talitha welcomed her new family's sentiments. She led them through the village and into the undamaged hut. A hut she had kept well maintained over the years. The inside was arrayed with various stone and bone carvings, soft animal furs lined the ground and a large bed sat solitary in the centre of the space. A large cooking pit, with a clay chimney, filled the majority of the back wall. The whole place was illuminated by something glowing and incandescent. It was rather cosy.
"Welcome to the chieftain's quarters." Talitha said with an air of grandeur. She moved towards the cooking pit and grabbed the fire stone she kept next to it. She struck it against her hatchet three times each strike releasing a small flame from the glowing rock. The dry tinder that she kept in the fireplace lit up instantly. Jonathan needed to get himself one of those.
Talitha proceeded to undress herself, she hung up her furs on a nearby wall rack. Jonathan's eyes were firmly fixated on her body as she stretched. Talitha made her way to the bed and crawled up on top of it's soft fur sheets. A hint of concern showed on her face. "Aren't you going to undress and relax?" Talitha purred expectantly. Saikhi blushed at the sight of Talitha's body, her already red-skin turning a deeper shade. "Please, it is rude to stay dressed inside." Talitha moved over to Saikhi and began to unlace her beautiful blue dress. Saikhi looked like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming train.
Saikhi's dress fell to the ground and revealed her soft and supple body. Talitha began to grab and squeeze Saikhi, feeling around the ashborn's unprepared body. Talitha's hands massaged Saikhi's breasts and ass, she delighted in the feeling of her silky skin. Saikhi tried to object but to her surprise she had left her unable to form words.
"You have such smooth skin." Talitha smiled, she had never touched an ashborn's body before and she loved how it felt in between her fingers. Skinship was common practice in Talitha's culture and she was going to enjoy every moment of getting to know her new sister's body.
"When in Rome." Jonathan shrugged as he marvelled at the sight before him. He removed his clothes, it was pretty clear that he was enjoying this part of heldran culture from the stiffness of his cock. Talitha's body intertwined with Saikhi's as she pulled her close and pressed her chest up against hers. She wanted to make a good impression on her new chieftain and this seemed to be working.
"Ah, what are you-" Saikhi gasped as Talitha's slender fingers found their way inside of her. They began to explore her quickly moistening folds and delved deep inside of Saikhi. It wasn't long before Talitha had discovered Saikhi's weak points. This was the first time Saikhi had ever been intimate with another woman and she wasn't sure how to feel about it, but her body didn't object. Waves of pleasure flowed throughout Saikhi as Talitha stimulated her g-spot. She grabbed hold of Talitha trying to stabilize her now shaking legs.
Talitha motioned for Jonathan to take a seat on the bed. Jonathan promptly complied. He took in the beauty of the two girls. Saikhi was now shyly grabbing and groping Talitha back as Talitha whispered something into Saikhi's ear. The two brought themselves before Jonathan. Saikhi dropped to her knees as Talitha grasped her newly initiated sister's tits and wrapped them around her chieftain's cock.
Saikhi began to react to Jonathan's power. Her body felt like it was ablaze as Talitha worked the ashborn's breasts up and down the length of his manhood. She poked her tongue out trying to get a taste of her Master's tip but it was just out of reach. Her glowing eyes looked up at Jonathan with desire. Talitha watched Saikhi with envy. She felt like she was missing out. Talitha got down on her knees and joined Saikhi in pressing her tits up against Jonathan's cock. He was now firmly sliding between their two amazing pairs of breasts. Talitha felt her lust begin to overwhelm her again. She passionately kissed Saikhi as she pressed her tits against hers. Jonathan didn't know how much longer he was going to last at this rate. This was straight out of a porno, Jonathan couldn't believe his luck.
Saikhi and Talitha spent the next few minutes taking turns riding Jonathan's cock. Each one greedily wanting to hog their leader's manhood all for themselves. Jonathan did his best to juggle between thrusting deep inside of one girl whilst playing with the other. It was a complicated task but Jonathan was willing to rise to the occasion. Talitha suggested that it would be easier for them to share Jonathan's cock if they were both sucking on it. Jonathan could barely contain his joy as the girls took turns alternating between sliding Jonathan hard length into their mouth and licking his balls.
"I'm going to cum!" Jonathan groaned. His two followers stroked his cock expectantly, mouths wide and ready to accept his love. He burst forth, covering their faces with his warmth. They did their best to swallow what they could. Then in a rather predictable fashion, Saikhi and Talitha passed out. Their naked bodies collapsing either side of Jonathan. Looking at their cum covered faces Jonathan began to worry what side-effects his power might have on his two companions. Hopefully nothing long term.
He got up from between the two girls and retrieved his guidebook. Sitting down near the fire he opened it. The familiar form of Lily materialized.
"Oh my gods man, cover yourself." Lily averted her eyes from Jonathan's manhood.
"Ah right, sorry." Jonathan placed his cloak on his lap, covering his now softening penis.
"Well, well, it looks like you have been quite the busy pervert lately." Lily looked around the room and saw the two girls passed out on the bed. "How many poor girls have you taken advantage of now?"
"Hey, it's not my fault, it just kind of happened." Jonathan said indignantly.
"Oh they just happened to trip and land squarely on your dick?" Lily mocked. "I am sorry officer I couldn't help but molest her; that defence wouldn't hold up in court."
"Well actually, that is what has been happening. Arousal control, remember?" They did both pretty much fall on Jonathan's dick. "Anyway, that is what I wanted to ask you about. Does my power have any negative long-term side-effects?"
"Besides having to remember that you rode the Night-train all the way to bone-town? Isn't that a negative enough side-effect?" Lily cringed.
"You are not a very helpful tutorial fairy." Jonathan complained as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"You want helpful? Hey, listen! Hey, listen! Watch out!" Lily did her best impression of Navi, the fairy from Legend of Zelda and easily one of the most annoying characters in that game.
"Ok, ever informative as always. Bye." Jonathan started to close the book.
"Wait! There is one side effect of your power that you should know about." Lily quickly added. Jonathan paused. "Each time you use your power on someone it permanently lowers their inhibitions. In short, they get sluttier and hornier each time." That would explain Saikhi's and even Talitha's ever increasing eagerness for sex. "But for a pervert such as yourself I don't think that qualifies as a negative side effect."
"Is there any way to reverse it?" Jonathan asked.
"Nope. Hence why I called it permanent. Also, don't go touching anything living around here without saying the magic words. You don't want to accidentally turn the whole damned forest perverted. The whole ecosystem here is connected."
"Oh shit!" Jonathan muttered as he raced outside, dropping the book, and subsequently Lily, to the ground.
It was hard to make out in the moonlight but the forest was slowly but surely slithering towards them.
