Jealousy resolved on the way to Caravan Cross

The little party set out from Woodhaven toward the great city of Araban. The first few days were easy riding, but Janno pressed Ariel and Bella to make longer days' rides. "With the distance to Araban, we don't want to exhaust our money and supplies."

Ariel had protested, "We don't want to exhaust our horses and ourselves! What if we encounter danger on the road?"

But Janno had prevailed, and they rode longer days from Woodhaven till Caravan Cross, the broad high point in the mountains where trade routes crossed. The danger was slight in this direction from Woodhaven, where the early part of the trip led toward bigger towns and more civilization.

Janno noticed that Ariel was still flirting with him, telling him stories and trying to impress him with clever little magical effects, while not talking with Bella except about the day's travel and chores. Bella was civil with Ariel. She talked in a friendly way with Janno, occasionally slipping in a teasing double meaning hinting at renewing their acquaintance as bed partners.

Janno had never had to deal with this sort of tension in an adventuring party. His former band of fighters had had to work through questions of leadership, trust, and courage, but never jealousy. He worried about whether he was going to have to confront Ariel about it, and whether he would have to hold himself back from Bella just to keep the peace.

But the problem took care of itself.

One morning as Ariel kindled the fire with a magical incantation, a piece of sap-sticky wood crackled and spat, catching Ariel in the eyes with a spray of hot sap. Ariel screeched and fell backward, rubbing at the burning sap in her eyes.

"Hold her hands back!" Bella called to Janno. "She's making it worse!"

Janno held Ariel's hands behind her back. She struggled and cried, tears flowing freely down her face.

Bella grabbed Ariel by the hair and rinsed her eyes with squirts from a waterskin. Janno kept hold of Ariel while Bella prepared a medicinal bandage for Ariel's eyes. She spoke in soothing and comforting tones until Ariel finally relaxed and Janno could let her go.

They didn't travel on that day. Bella tended to Ariel, making sure the eye bandage stayed on, guiding Ariel to the edge of camp when she needed to answer a call of nature, and applying the healing magic of her goddess Lacella.

At evening time, Bella removed the eye bandage.

Ariel's eyes had large red veins in the whites, and looked puffy around the edges, but she blinked, looked around, and smiled at Janno. "Next time I'll use a flaming slingshot to light the fire," she joked. She looked at Bella. "And thanks to you, well, my eyes hurt a little, but they're much better now. How can I ever thank you enough."

"Will you become my true traveling companion and dedicate your body to the love of Lacella tonight?" Bella asked.

"I will," Ariel said, glowing at the cleric with a warm smile.

After dinner, while Janno kept watch, he heard all manner of grunts, sighs, and giggles of pleasure from the great hollowed-out tree-trunk that sheltered their camp. Obviously, Bella was showing Ariel how good female companionship could be. Occasionally, he could even hear screams of pleasure emanating from the camp. It certainly was first time he went through watch with a boner.

And when he returned, Bella took the watch. Before she went, she said, "You must go to Ariel. She needs you."

So Janno went to Ariel who waiting by the fire.

Ariel pulled Janno into her arms, and she insisted that he must complete the circle by sharing pleasure with her.

"Janno," she said. "I want you to take me just like you did Bella."

"What must be done, must be done," Janno said in a **** tone. Ariel took the initiative, lifting Janno's mail skirt and fishing out his cock from his leather breeches. It hardened in her hand, giving the lie to his hesitant tone. Ariel laughed to see his hardness. She pulled off his armor and clothes, giving his hard cock little rubs and squeezes as she stripped him.

Janno took Ariel in his arms and kissed her. He could taste a familiar, rich muskiness on her lips. Bella. Ariel had tasted Bella, just as Janno had. Janno roamed his hands over her body through her light robe. "Touch me so," he said.

Ariel responded, rubbing her cool, slim hands over Janno's skin, scarred and taut with muscle. Janno lifted her robe over her head, baring her girlish figure. He lay Ariel down on her sleeping mat and moved his mouth to taste her small breasts and tease her nipples to little erections. Ariel giggled at his touch, but Janno didn't care. He was working his mouth lower, kissing down one side, then the other, then straight down her belly to her mound.

"K-ha-haha!" Ariel laughed as Janno pressed his lips to her golden fleece. "Ooohhhhh," she sighed as his wet tongue opened her folds. Her taste was sweeter and sharper than Bella's richness. She panted and squirmed under him as he tongued her lower lips and circled her pearl.

Janno raised his head. "Will you take me in your mouth, as Bella did?" he asked.

"Yes!" Ariel said.

Janno laid down and guided Ariel above him, head to tail. He breathed softly into her pussy, enjoying her scent, as she struggled to get comfortable with Janno's big cock in her mouth. "Don't worry," Janno said. "Just use your lips and tongue on the head, rub the shaft a little and my little arrow will be very happy."

Ariel did as she was told, her tongue roamed up and down Janno's shaft. The fighter was busy guiding his tongue into her pussy. "Oooh!" she cried, and giggled as he swished his tongue through her womanly folds. He paused, and she went back to licking and stroking his cock. He circled his finger round her wet pussy opening and probed in. She was slippery and open. "Ohhh," she sighed. Two fingers. Slippery, maybe a little tight. "Ooooh yes!" she said.

"Are you ready to take me, Ariel?" Janno asked.

"Yes," she said. "Take me like Bella!"

Janno rolled Ariel roughly onto her back and plunged his hard cock into the young sorceress's pussy. She was far tighter than Bella, and her slim butt didn't cushion them much. Still, her big smile and loud groan spoke of pleasure, not pain. Janno rolled up his cloak and lifted Ariel's butt, slipping the soft cloth under her. The better angle let him take longer strokes in her tight tunnel. Their little shelter echoed with the slapping of flesh on flesh, and soon with Ariel's voice rising in climax. Janno held her tightly as the waves of pleasure broke over her. She came down from her orgasm panting, her arms and legs shaking.

"More!" she said. "More! What else did you do with Bella?"

Janno got up off Ariel and held out his hand to raise her to her feet. "Here is what we did next," he said. "Turn around. Bend over and put your hands on the tree," he said, guiding her into position.

"You're going to take me from behind?" she said.

"I will," he said. "And every time I see your little behind in front of me, I will think of tonight."

Ariel giggled. "You think of Bella when you're riding behind her too!" she said. Janno worked his still-wet cock head into her pussy lips. "Oh!" she said. "Oh that's good," she sighed as he worked himself into her tight opening.

Ariel's giggles and cries, her responsive flesh and her tight pussy had Janno close to coming. Entering Ariel in his favorite position, standing from behind, put him on the home stretch. Ariel pushed back at him, rolling her hips and moving as much as she could. He reached under his thrusting cock, questing for her little love bean, and found it.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Ariel cried in rising tones as Janno's pounding cock and pinching fingers took her up, up, and away again. Janno followed her with a roar, shooting his hot seed deep inside her. His final battering cock strokes pushed her cheek hard against the inside of the hollow tree, but she was beyond any petty discomfort.

Slowly they disengaged and sank down on wobbly knees to rest on Ariel's sleeping mat. White traces ran down his shaft and her inner thighs, the marks of her cup running over. Traces of blood also marked their coupled parts.

"Are you...were you a virgin?" Janno asked.

"Not quite," Ariel said. "Don't worry." She kissed Janno's cheek, and his ebbing cock twitched in response.

Janno and Ariel didn't have the stamina to spend all night enjoying each other, but Janno managed a second cockstand while Ariel was still game for more, and the sweet intensity of their coupling was precious. Then, the two drifted off toward sleep wrapped in each other's arms.
