Sarah slapped Kass on her arm lightly and pointed across the tavern floor. "Do you see what I see?" She asked as she took another swig of beer from the jug she held. "The tall, blonde half-Elf?" Kass replied over the raucus music and singing of Merzer's Tavern. "Yes. He's a bit skinny, but I bet he has some staying power." "Nobody knows." Kass said with a chuckle. "No woman has had him yet. I think he's a virgin." "Maybe he's just one of those men that prefer the company of other men in bed." Sarah told Kass before downing the last of her beer. "I don't think so." Kass said in as low a voice as could be heard in the din. "He shows much interest in us. He just lacks the courage I think." "Well, I tell you what." The barbarian leaned over and tapped herself on the chest. "I'm going to bed that blonde boy." "Not if I get there first." The other shot back. "That sounds like a challenge to me!" Sarah exclaimed as she sat upright. "What do you say? Make it a wager?" "Very well. If you win, I will give you a foot rub." Sarah slowly shook her head. "I don't bed women. Only men." "Same with me." Kass told her new friend. "This thing is not sexual. But it will be a life altering experience for you. Never have you been this relaxed. It is the most prized of things among the women here in Dragon's Reach." "And if you win?" "I will teach you how to do this. Then you can give me a foot rub." "Where did you learn this skill?" Sarah asked Kass. "See that Dwarven woman behind the bar?" Sarah glanced over and saw a short, stout woman with flame red hair filling a mug. "That's Mili, the wife of Merzer. They own this place. But before they met, Mili was the personal masseuse to the former Dwarven King. When he passed away, she came here." "And brought her skills with her?" "Yes. She'll teach them to anyone who wants to learn them. My sister Tass was the first in my family to learn it. So what say you?" "You're on!" Sarah said as she brought the jug down a bit too hard, breaking it. A heavily muscled Dwarf soon stood next to the table, an amused expression on his ruddy face. "Alright girls." He said in his deep voice. "When you start breaking the crockery, that's when it's time for you to do something other than drinking. Go find something else to do. Try your hand with some of the gentlemen here. And I do use that word loosely with some of them." "I'm very sorry, sir." The barbarian said, embarassed. "Let me pay for that." "No need my tall beauty. My daughter makes the crockery herself as a hobby. An occasional break like this just gives her an excuse to make another. Just don't make a habit of it. Now you two run along." The next morning, Kass quietly left Sarah's room. The Edding Princess lay sleeping contentedly on her bed, her first foot rub the reason for her deep slumber. When Kass closed the door, the blonde half-Elf, Derrik, stood waiting. "Alright. What's this nonsense about me being a virgin?" He asked, a smile on his lips. "You know damned well I have not suffered from that affliction since you took my virginity fifty eight years ago." "Sorry." Kass said as he took her in his arms. "She just needed to unwind. And the Gods know, you're so good at helping women unwind." "No need to apologize Kass. Your friend in there is a wild woman in bed." "Well, I'm glad you had fun." "Now how about you?" Derrik asked. "Do you need to unwind?" "You still up for more?" "For you, always." "Then let's go to your room then. Sarah will be out for several hours, at least." I'm sorry for not replying to veryones posts. My connection is very slow right now. I hope to have it fixed soon. I flagged this one for nudity for obvious reasons.
