Steel Wolf

Exploration

Enchanted mops had appeared, quickly soaking up the water and drying Serenna's room. The drenched bed had dried itself in short order, and the bedposts leaned in to provide a clean change of warm linen. The doorway had repaired itself instantly when the latch had been broken by the rush of guards.

Serenna huddled close to Tanaya under the blanket, both nude, as they slept. Tanaya wrapped one arm around the princess, her other hand resting on the twin double-curved swords. The worst had happened: she had gotten lax. It would not happen again.

The smaller woman stirred and inhaled deeply, signs that she was waking up. Tanaya was instantly awake and gently hugged the nude princess, enjoying the full body contact.

"Did you sleep well, Highness?"

Serenna sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, the blanket falling away to reveal her nude pear-shaped breasts, nipples stiffening in the cooler air of the room. Her tousled hair clung to the side of her face and she brushed it aside. Turning to her champion, she gave Tanaya a tender kiss on the lips.

"Quite well, Commander," she grinned, her face close to the big woman, "but, before we have breakfast, I think I shall have a bit of fun." The royal kissed her way down Tanaya's taut, well-muscled body to her breasts, sucking greedily and licking her nipples to full erectness.

Tanaya relaxed instantly, closing her eyes and gasping as her breasts were toyed with, moving her fingers to Serenna's hair, tangling her fingers in the black softness. As Serenna continued to lick and suck and kiss those wonderful breasts, her hand trailed down the warrioress' stomach and settled over her mound, resting a moment. She cupped Tanaya's mound and began moving her hand in small, slow, gentle circles. Slowly, she bent her middle finger into Tanaya's slit, the fleshy part of her finger snugging tenderly against the clit while continuing to move her hand in small circles. Tanaya hissed a sharp intake of breath, her hands flying from Serenna's head to grasp at the sheets.

Maintaining her circular rhythm, Serenna kissed her way back up to her lover's neck, licking and nibbling, occasionally nuzzling, then moved to kiss Tanaya deeply and passionately. As their tongues were vying for dominance, Serenna twisted her wrist and slid her middle finger into the hungry slit, now moist with juices, massaging the clit with the narrow edge of her arm. Tanaya's eyes flew open and rolled back in their sockets as she moaned into Serenna's mouth, tongues flying around each other.

Serenna bent her hand and scissored Tanaya's nymphae between her index and middle fingers, speeding up her ministrations. She curled her free arm around to tweak, pinch, roll and tug the erect nipples. Tanaya's tongue stopped working, surrendering to the young beauty as the small woman's arm and hand gained momentum, the fingers moving independently and occasionally pressing together to send an electric shock through her.

Tanaya Paulsdottir, Commander of the Royal Guard, highly skilled warrior, survivor of many battles, tougher than most of her comrades, became a kitten in the hands of a girl who had never seen a day's work in her life. She mewled into Serenna's mouth, her entire being was Serenna's to control. She had fallen totally in love.

The room exploded, points of multicolored lights appearing and disappearing from her vision as she came from the most intense orgasm she'd ever had. Her back arched, her arms flew around the princess to pull the pair of them tightly together, her lips pressed against the princess' own, tongue once again moving at breakneck speed. Serenna slowed her movements as Tanaya came, letting the warrioress come down from her peak slowly, rather than the abrupt crash of simply stopping. Tanaya settled back on the bed, breathing heavily, her fingers brushing her hair back, enfolding the smiling royal in her arms protectively.

After they had bathed together, washing each other tenderly (a few playful fingers here and there), they dressed in their appropriate clothing; Serenna in a blue and lavender dressing robe and Tanaya in her loose brown loungewear. They strode into the common area where a table had been laid out with a various assortment of food. They selected breakfast and moved to another table, Tanaya calling her officers to her for the morning's report.

"After the demon attack, I ordered the entire complex searched thoroughly, Commander," this from Rance, who munched on a strip of bacon. He shook his head firmly as he went on, "No more demons, but we found the armory with a good supply of armor and weapons. Most notably, a few recurved longbows which were distributed to the guards on top of the tower." He bent his head in the direction of the princess.

"We did not feel the need to wake Her Highness and will return them if asked to do so."

"That's quite alright, Captain. You are my guards and deserve the finest you can get. Those bows are auto-loading and will never run out of arrows," replied Serenna, buttering a roll.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I'll pass that information along."

Imelda tossed a large piece of scarlet red leather, resembling a tabard, on the table. The leather had a corner torn out of it, as if small pieces had been removed. Serenna's blood ran cold as she paused for the merest hint of the briefest moment, then resumed eating. The motion was not lost on Tanaya.

"This place has more secret passages and cubbyholes than I've ever seen. This was in a hole near the Queen's chambers," Imelda said, casually.

Tanaya forked some egg into her mouth and took a sip of coffee, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and pushed her plate back. She reached into her pocket to withdraw the small bag which had been given her the previous night. Untying the drawstring, she dumped the contents onto the table. Picking out the bits of red leather, she began to assemble them like a jigsaw puzzle, her fingers moving rapidly. A couple of pieces were missing from the whole, but the message was clear: this came from the tabard before her. All eyes turned to spear the young princess.

Tanaya placidly took another sip of her coffee as Serenna turned green, a sudden queasiness threatening to cause the contents of her stomach to resurface. Tanaya turned to Rance.

"Captain, please have the troops clear this room and ask Sergeants Rasmussen and Strathford to join us. We have a few things to discuss with Her Highness."
