Xera and Her Companions #4: No Good Deed

I

"Ugh, damned fools!" Gurka cursed as she gripped her axe and looked up.

Xera and Ava were helpless in the tentacled clutches of the beast, its appendages wrapped around their lithe, supple bodies, snaking around them as it squeezed flesh and explored their waiting, vulnerable holes.

Xera's legs were being pulled apart wide enough that the creature slid a tendril into her snatch, in and out in a deliberate, slow paced motion that caused the defeated Amazon's body to rock with every movement. Another tendril wrapped around her throat to keep her from crying out.

Ava had a tentacle stuffed down her mouth with another sliding in and out of her pale, jiggling ass while the creature simultaneously bound her hands behind her at the wrists.

Many of the monster's dozens of eyes looked over its captured prey, seemingly pleased with what it had, while others still turned in the direction of Minvera and Gurka, who stepped back in disgust as it began moving toward them.

"Can you come up with a spell to take this thing down?" Gurka asked, getting into a fighting stance.

"Y-yes..." Minerva answered, looking from Xera to Ava and back as the monster's tentacles slithered across their tits, teasing every inch of exposed flesh. "I just need you to distract it long enough for me to get the spell ready," she said, lowering her staff.

Without another word, Gurka let out a primal yell, raised her axe and ran at the creature in a burst of speed. The Orc's legs, thick with muscle, bulged when she pushed herself skyward and raised the weapon overhead to strike down at her enemy.

The moment was short lived when a tentacle flew from behind the monster's back and smacked into the Orc hard enough to knock her axe from her grip. Before Gurka could fall, another appendage wrapped around her six-pack abs and squeezed tight. Gurka punched and kicked at the monster, but it was far too strong, even for her.

It moved Gurka towards its mouth, a cavernous opening filled with rows of razor sharp teeth.

Gurka's eyes went wide as she looked to Ava and Xera while being lowered toward the beast's waiting maw. "HELP ME, YOU IDIOTS!" Gurka cried out. Their faces were awash in blissful ecstasy. The nipples, exposed by shredded costumes and discarded armor, were erect. Their thighs were slick with their own juices as the monster continued to ravage them.

"GET ME OUT OF THIS OR I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!" Gurka screamed at the top of her lungs, panic in her eyes. She was close enough to smell the monster's acrid breath now and she spread her feet wide enough to put them against the top and bottom of the monster's jaw to fight being swallowed. She groaned with effort, every muscle in her impressively solid form tensing with effort.

More tentacles appeared, grabbing at her ankles to pull them from the monster's jaw. When Gurka resisted, a third, thin tentacle inserted itself between her spread legs, causing the Orc to groan in surprise and move her legs out of reflex. Gurka hit the monster's teeth with her fists as it pulled her into its mouth. She twisted as best she could, turning to Minerva, who stood with her eyes closed. Her body glowed with a bright, blue aura.

"MINERVA! DO SOMETHING!!" Gurka howled before vanishing into the monster's mouth.

Minerva opened her eyes, and a blinding light exploded from her body and toward the monster.

II

The people of the town gave the four heroines a wide breadth as they plodded down the main avenue.

Minerva leaned on her staff for support, using it as a walking stick of sorts as exhaustion ravaged the young sorceress' body. Ava and Xera staggered forth, as if drunk, swaying on their feet as they fought to stay upright. Their clothes were in tatters and their eyes had glossy expressions.

Gurka trailed behind them, chains wrapped around her broad, powerful, slime covered shoulders and a furious expression on her face as she dragged the severed head of the tentacled horror behind her. Her green skin was slick with pungent saliva and her clothing had scorch marks in the places where Minerva's spell struck too close. She muttered a string of curses in the orcish tongue the entire time.

***

The town's mayor, a portly, balding man with a thick, graying mustache, looked at the four women standing on the other side of his desk. His eyes were drawn to the generous, exposed curves that the Amazon and the knight sported, bruised and scratched though their flesh was. He imagined his face in between those magnificent tits, tongue lapping up every delicious inch while playing with them with his hands.

He looked at the sorceress and her lithe, slim build that was punctuated by perfectly round tits beneath her robe and licked his lips. He pictured himself bending her over his desk, hiking her robe up over her back, and taking her from behind.

He then turned to the orc who, despite her muscular build, also sported tempting, womanly curves. He imagined them wrestling, and him coming out on top, pinning her down and having his way with her, his cum eventually covering every sculpted muscle on her body as she lay on the floor in defeat. His cock stiffened underneath his pants and he forced himself back to reality. He then looked around her at the severed, bleeding head of the creature that terrorized his town's outlying farms, devouring many livestock and having its way with many young farmers' wives after eating their husbands.

"Well..." the mayor said to them, finally breaking the silence. "Firstly, I'd like to thank you fine young ladies for your help in this matter. Now my citizens can rest easy and..."

"We've had a long fucking day, fat man," Gurka interrupted him. "Where's our money?"

"Uh..." Minerva quickly cut in. "What my friend here means to say is, there's supposed to be a reward for having slain this monster, and we'd like to collect."

The mayor fell silent, looked down, and rapped his fingers on his polished desk.

As if sensing something was about to go very wrong, very soon, Xera and Ava straightened up.

"Well, slight problem there," the mayor said, chuckling. "The carpenter had just gotten in a shipment of very fine oak, and he told me he could use it to refurnish my office, you see?"

Gurka's eye twitched.

"What are you saying, sir?" Ava asked.

"Well...I thought the town guards would eventually slay the beast. They had tried so many times in the past, that I figured they'd get it eventually. So, I spent the reward money on the furniture in this room."

The four heroines looked around the office and noticed for the first time, a fine collection of oak furniture. There was a large conference table with eight chairs, several bookcases packed with large volumes, two cushioned benches and a small table between them, and of course, the mayor's desk and chair. It was all very nice oak.

Silence fell on the room before the mayor cleared his throat. Xera turned and looked at Gurka, sighing and whispering "don't" when she noticed the tension in the orc's muscles.

"Perhaps there's another reward I could offer you ladies? You're welcome to my drink cabinet," he said, motioning to another piece of oak furniture in a corner close to his desk.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Gurka exploded and lunged at the mayor. Her hands came inches from his throat before Ava and Xera managed the grab her powerful arms. She screamed at the mayor as she was dragged out of the room by her busty companions. Her screams could be heard even after Minerva quickly hurried behind them and shut the door.

***

In the time since the four of them had left the mayor's office and wandered the town's streets, they had drawn many looks. Most of the eyes belonged to men leering at Ava and Xera in their tattered clothing. Mothers covered the eyes of their children and ushered them away from the scene. Minerva apologized to them while Gurka trailed behind the group, arms folded and fury in her eyes.

"We should just leave and make camp," Xera said. "Move on in the morning."

"We should kill that fool mayor and smash his damn furniture," Gurka offered.

"Calm down," Ava told her. "We killed that monster didn't we? These people are safe. Though we do deserve a reward..."

"Yeah, and I almost ended up in that fucking thing's stomach!" Gurka said to her. "Who knows how much bathing I'll have to do to get its smell out of my hair?"

"You bathe...?" Ava muttered under her breath.

"What was that, you smug little bitch?!" Gurka surged forward.

Ava turned around, ready to meet Gurka until Xera slid between them and kept them from tearing into each other.

"Both of you, stop this!" The Amazon commanded, her voice loud enough to draw attention from the crowd around them.

They growled at each other but backed away and Xera lowered her arms. Xera then looked at Ava. "When we saw that monster, I told you not to rush it but you did anyway. We ended up in that thing's clutches because you don't listen."

Ava rolled her eyes and Gurka smirked. 

"And you," Xera said, poking Gurka in the chest. "Why the hell did you jump at it instead and going for the torso? You could've easily ducked its tentacles and gutted it."

Gurka huffed and Ava looked at her and stuck her tongue out.

"I swear to the Goddess, you two are like children," Xera said, pushing past them. "We need rest. We'll figure out our next move then," she said while walking away.

Ava folded her arms and followed, but Gurka stayed where she was until Minerva walked up.

"For what it's worth, you distracted the monster long enough for me to blow it up," she said, putting a hand on Gurka's arm. "Uhh..." she groaned, pulling her hand back to find it covered in a film of the monster's slime. "We should go..." the sorceress said, wiping her hand on her robe before rushing to catch up.

Gurka shook her head. "It'd be so easy to strangle them when they're asleep. So easy..." she said before finally following them.

***

They continued through the town, coming to a row of houses. Gurka stayed far behind, looking around when she passed an open window. Inside, a young woman had her back turned as she stored sacks of food in various cabinets in her kitchen. Gurka paused when she noticed the sun cause something on the counter by the window to glint.

She poked her head in, spied a coin purse with some gold coins, quickly picked it up, and ran to the others.

"Hey!" she said to get their attention. When she had it, she showed them the coins.

"Where did that come from?" Xera asked. Gurka explained how she took it.

"Put it back!" Ava told her.

"Hold on..." Minerva said. "We did risk our lives for these people..."

Xera looked around and noticed many of the people were ignoring them as they went about their lives, none the wiser about the danger the heroines had saved them from.

Ava paused and raised an eyebrow. "Xera...you aren't..."

"We'll only take what we need. They can complain to the mayor," the Amazon said, taking the gold from Gurka. "The guards couldn't stop the monster, so they can't oppose us. We can talk about it over food."

Ava's jaw dropped as Xera walked away and Minerva walked past her. Gurka intentionally bumped into her.

"Three to one, your holiness. Cry to your goddess if you don't like it," the orc said with a laugh that made Ava fume. She looked back at the townspeople before following the others. "At least let me pick where we eat!" 

***

Night had settled over the town, and many of its citizens retired to their homes. Somewhere in the center of the town, the mayor stood naked in his bedroom, stretching his back and flexing his shoulders. His flaccid, but impressively sized cock hung between his legs, dripping from recent ejaculation.

A few feet away on the bed, a shapely young woman with dark hair lay on the bed on her stomach, her head propped up with her hand and her feet in the air.

"Ready for another go, Mr. Mayor?" she said with a smirk on her round face.

"In a moment, my love," the mayor said to her before going to a small table that held a container of wine and two glasses. He offered her some, but she refused with a wave.

"Don't get any on that mustache before I can ride it," she said to him.

The mayor chuckled and took a drink, but nearly choked when his door slammed open.

Gurka stood tall in the doorway and looked around. "Ah, don't mind me," the orc said before striding into the room and going through the drawers.

"What is the meaning of this?!" The mayor demanded while his woman simply watched, bewildered.

"You owe me money, fat man," Gurka said, opening his dresser and finding nothing. She then noticed the chest at the foot of the bed, walked over, flashed the woman a smile, and opened the lid. Gurka lifted a small bag heavy with coin, and tucked it into the fur pelt around her waist. Gurka then looked the woman over, and the woman shrieked in surprise when Gurka lifted her up and threw her over her broad shoulder. She squeezed the curvy woman's ample ass, nodded at the mayor, and left through the door, leaving the mayor with a wine stain on his mustache and a flaccid cock. 

***

"Nope," Ava said, looking down at the shattered clay pot. She then moved to the next one on the shelf and knocked it to the floor. "Nope," she repeated when it turned out to be empty. Two more clay pots shattered on the ground, empty, before one produced a bag. She picked it up and looked inside, finding gold and some assorted jewels.

An old man, his wife, and their adult daughter cowered in the corner of the shop beneath their home, staring in disbelief as some of their inventory lay destroyed on the floor.

Xera leaned against the wall with her arms folded and shook her head. "You could just turn the pots over, Ava."

"These pots are subpar," the knight replied, tucking the coin purse into her belt. "They can make better ones. We don't risk our lives for mediocre art."

"Hey! Leave our store alone!" The daughter stepped forward, pulling away from her parents. "I thought you were all supposed to be heroes!"

She cowered back when Ava stepped forward, inches from her face, and looked her in the eye. The knight then grabbed her girl's necklace, a simple gold chain and pendant, where it dangled between her pale, white tits. The girl gasped and her face turned red as Ava reached down into her cleavage and pawed at her flesh. She then ripped the necklace free. "So disrespectful. This is how you people treat the heroes who saved your town?" Ava said, dropping it into the bag and turning for the door.

"For what it's worth," Xera said. "I think your pottery is quite beautiful," she said before following Ava out.

"Th-thank you..." the old man answered, drawing glares from his wife and daughter.

***

"Ugh!" Minerva grunted and hoisted a heavy sack over her shoulder as she walked out of a brothel. Several of the prostitutes came out behind her, most of them naked or near naked and screaming obscenities at her. The coins inside rattled, the sorceress had trouble balancing it on her shoulder at times. "Why didn't I make Gurka come with me?" she asked herself, turning when she heard footsteps behind her.

Several of the town's guards ran behind her, some still pulling up their pants as they exited the brothel.

"Put that money down and come with us," one of them, a young man who was about Minerva's age, ordered. The other guards all took position to surround the sorceress.

"I didn't take all of it," she reasoned. "Just what I could carry."

"You are under arrest," another guard said.

"If it wasn't for me, that ugly tentacle thing would be chewing on your skulls right now," Minerva told them before trying to walk away. Several of the guards blocked her path. She sighed, closed her eyes and shouted a word in an ancient language.

Several of the prostitutes who watched from the doors and windows yelped in surprise when a bright flash struck down from the sky and at the ground. It was gone as fast as it appeared, but once it vanished, the guards lay stunned on the ground, many of them with their pants around their ankles, while Minerva walked away, continuing to struggle with the money she carry. 

III

"I know we've been here two days now, but I never want to leave this place," Ava said from where she lay on a long table at the side of a pool of crystal clear water. A young, muscular man straddled her naked back, his hands kneading and massaging the flesh as Ava moaned under his touch. 

Minerva sat on the side of the pool in a skimpy bathing suit, her feet in the water and a cup of wine in her hand. "I agree with Ava. Can we just stay here?"

Xera lay on her back and floated in the water, staring up at the stars that hung in the night sky above the luxury spa in the town's center. The water was cool against her naked curves and splashed gently as she ran her hands through it. "There's still plenty of evil out there to fight, ladies," she said to them. "Still, a few more days of rest won't hurt us."

"I can get used to this hero thing. Have any of you had the roast duck they serve here? I've never tasted something so good!" Gurka said, laying back on a lounging chair with the mayor's dark haired woman snuggled against her. They were both in the nude with the woman's head resting on Gurka's chest.

"The poached eggs here are to die for," she told Gurka.

"I'll have those tomorrow, then," Gurka said with a grin, putting her hand on her new lover's thigh. "After I have you." The two kissed and giggled.

Ava's masseuse moved the blanket covering her lower back away and began massaging her ass, drawing moans from the knight-priestess and causing her to clench the fabric of the table underneath her. She buried her face in the surface, her moans muffled by the cushioned fabric against her skin. It wasn't long before she felt kisses on the back of her neck, then her shoulders. She gasped and reached back, caressing the side of the young man's face. He then put his hands on her hips and pulled up, making Ava stick her ass in the air. His stiff cock probed the outside of her ass before he inserted himself, drawing an excited and gleeful groan from Ava. 

Xera turned and swam to the side of the pool, taking another cup and joining Minerva in drinking the wine. The Amazon and the sorceress simply glanced at each other, and then watched the scene unfold in front of them.

Gurka sat up in her seat, her woman sucking at her neck until Gurka pointed at Ava and her man. The woman then sat up and bit her lip, watching the two of them.

"Should we join them, love?" she asked Gurka.

"Go and start. I'll join in a bit."

The woman stood up and stretched her arms before walking over.

Gurka grinned and smacked her on the ass, watching those magnificent curves bounce and those shapely hips sway as the woman approached Ava and her partner. She then swung her legs to the side and sat on the edge of the chair, but the expression on her face shifted when she heard a hollow, thundering sound outside the walls of the spa. "Does anyone else hear that?"

Xera perked up when she heard the noise. Footsteps, dozens of them, all at once. She pulled herself up out of the pool, drops of water dripping from her curves just as the doors to the pool area swung open and a large crowd of people poured in.

Xera's heart sunk in her chest and Minerva swallowed a lump in her throat.

Gurka jumped out of her seat and froze. "Oh shit..."

Ava paused where she lay under her partner and looked. "Wha...oh..."

A large crowd of townspeople stood in front of the building that led back to the inn, grim expressions on their faces as they looked at the four heroines. The guards from the brothel along with the prostitutes were there. The potter and his family were there. The mayor was at the front of the angry mob.

"Enjoying yourselves, ladies?" The mayor asked them, his expression dark.

The heroines simply looked at each other in stunned silence, each one waiting for someone else to say something.

***

"You know, our only mistake was not moving on to the next town..." Gurka muttered and sighed. She, like the others, was confined to an individual metal cage just large enough to hold one person. “Which of you idiots decided we needed to stay at that particular spa?”

“You did, you giant, green cretin!” Ava answered angrily.

The four of them were suspended high above the town's central square, stripped of their clothing and left to sway in the cool night air. The cold metal bars against their bare asses made sitting uncomfortable, but the cages weren't large enough for any of them to stand up. The townspeople worked together to drag the four to their site of punishment, and the mayor determined that a week in this state would be appropriate before the four would be tied to horses and run out of the town. Satisfied that justice had been done, the people had all gone home for the night, but some promised they'd be back in the morning with rotten fruit and vegetables.

"Minerva, utter a spell and get us out of here," Gurka called to the sorceress, who was farthest away from her.

"She can't," Xera answered for Minerva. "They gagged her so she can't talk and tied her hands to the bars to keep her from taking the gag out."

"Well, shit..." Gurka groaned.

"I told you robbing these people was a terrible idea," Ava, who was between Xera and Gurka, said loud enough for everyone to hear. "But noooo! 3 to 1."

"Shut up, Ava!" Gurka and Xera said in unison, with Minerva saying the words from behind her gag.

All four of them, from where they hang, could just see over the wall of the luxury inn and spa, where the moonlight reflected off the water of the swimming pool.

The End
