Descent into Darkness 2

[Amelia Point-of-View]

Darx was so distant when he left me. I sat outside my house and waited for something, maybe I hoped he would see me and come check on me. I didn’t want to go to the mine anymore. I only wanted to spend time with him.

Again he asked me what was wrong and I froze. I want to tell him the truth. I don’t want the secret eating away at me anymore.

I don’t know how long I waited for Darx to return, lost in my thoughts about Kase and Alice; Oliver and Emma, and Kase and me. I went into my house and stripped down before getting in bed and going to sleep. I didn’t sleep well. I was haunted by nightmares of Darx hating me and frustrated by dreams of having sex with a faceless person that I imagined was Darx.

When I woke, I looked at my adventuring clothes and sighed. I looked out the window and didn’t see any sign of Darx yet. I didn’t want to go to the mine, I wanted to spent time with him alone. I put my top and shorts for going swimming and covered them with my skirt and blouse that I wore when adventuring.

I went through my pack and ensured that all of the gear that Kase told me to bring was present and then finished eating and went outside. I didn’t intend to go to the mine, but if Darx wanted to I would go. If he hesitated I would change our plan and run off to the waterfall with him instead.

I met with him outside, he did hesitate but I didn’t speak up fast enough and he took the lead in going to the mine. We ran into Mia in town. Seeing her made my blood boil, but not as much as her feigning being nice. I worried about what she had told Darx. He had been different since Jax sent them on that job. What did he have them do anyway?

When we reached the mine I tried my hardest to contain my anger for Kase, but failed. Everything I said to him was short and biting. He inspected my gear as though he didn't trust that I'd followed instruction. He was ignoring that Darx was there and only looking at me. I wanted them to be friends! I thought that the two of them would like each other, but Kase refused to see anything about Darx besides the aspiring adventurer who was laying near dead at the feet of a troll.

In the mine, we fought some monsters. I tried my best to impress Darx with what I had learned but he didn’t seem to notice. I noticed his change though. He was stronger than the last time I adventured with him. It wasn't clear when he was fighting the bandits, but now it was. I could see the techniques that Jax had taught Mia, only a day since she taught them to Darx and he had already incorporated them into his style. Lastly, he adapted to Kase's fighting style in the first battle and each following battle he was moving more comfortably and even appearing to be growing in skill before my eyes. Having Kase there, and my support skills strengthened, he seemed emboldened to try new things.

As we moved deeper I walked next to Darx, I reached for his hand but he looked at me and told me we should stay ready. He was right, in a dungeon you shouldn't get distracted. I knew that but for some reason after watching him down here I admired him more than ever before. I wish we had adventured with more than just Oliver before, I wish I would've been able to see how Darx could grow when fighting along-side new people. I looked at the ground and he ran ahead. I heard a crashing and looked up and he was gone. Kase was also gone into the dark.

I screamed out for him and Kase reappeared in a bright light and Darx called from a nearby shaft. After a quick and tense exchange I left with Kase. I didn't want to, but Darx was trapped. Once we were far enough away that I was certain that Darx couldn't hear, I spun on Kase and pointed a finger at his face.

"You did that, I don't know how but you made him fall!" I hissed.

"Amelia, I was ahead of you, how could I do that?"

"I don't know, but this was your plan. You made sure I didn't bring rope. You made sure it was dark despite having that crystal. You knew where the shaft was and knew there was rope and a pulley. What are you up to?"

Kase smiled.

"I want to finish what we started in my room," Kase said.

"Absolutely not! You're disgusting!" I screamed, my voice echoed off the rocks around me and I worried that I might not have gotten far enough way from Darx and he’d hear.

"Then Darx stays down there. I won't tell you where the rope is."

"No, I won't do it. I'll go back to town and get help."

"Can you lead them back to him?"

"If I tell them you abandoned him here..."

"I'll tell them I don't remember what path we took to get here. Or maybe I can lead them back here but what if by the time we get back Darx is attacked by a monster that he can't fight without us?"

He pulled out his dick and looked down at it. I panicked, I couldn’t think of anything to help Darx. What if he was right, what if a monster did attack him down there? I could tell everyone why Kase refused to help Darx but then Darx would learn about what I was doing with Kase. I reached out and started stroking it.

"No, your mouth, like in my room."

I shook my head but kept stroking and grabbed his hand and placed it on my crotch.

"Just this once you can touch it," I whispered. "Just let this be enough."

He rubbed me through the robes I wore while I stroked him. Then he stepped forward and kissed me and I kissed him back. I was surprised by how my mouth devoured his kiss and I craved more of it. He pulled my robes up, took his glove off, and slid his hand into my swimming shorts.

"Nggmm" I tried to stop him but he wouldn't stop kissing me and my hand kept stroking instead of pushing him away.

I was right, my body was close to breaking, had he only waited I would've let him push past my boundaries. His finger pressed into me and I pushed my hips forward to help it in but he pulled back, his finger hovered at my opening, teasing me. He stopped the kiss.

"I've changed my mind, this isn't good enough," he said. I shook my head.

No, don't ask for more! I knew I would give him more. That electric tingle was already in my belly from the kiss and his rubbing hands. I feared that I would do anything for that pleasure.

"Just this, please!" I plead.

"You let me use my mouth on you while you use your mouth on me," he said. "Or you help me find someone else to have my sexual way with."

"What?" I shook my head. "Like who?"

"Mia," he said. "Alice told me about how you and Darx love each other. Mia wants him for herself. You help me and I'll make it so Mia can't think of anyone but me and then, if you want Darx, you can have Darx."
