The expedition

A messenger chose an unfortunate day to deliver bad news. At that time Laeinia was away on a diplomatic mission, the four drow warriors were also absent, even Ephra was not present. Not that Aeriella was not competent enough to deal with problems, but this particular one required her to leave the manor and go into the countryside. That in itself would not be a problem, but she had once gone alone to fight a vampire and that adventure did not end well. This time, the messenger informed her, villagers were disappearing and the case needed to be investigated. Aeriella decided to take the risk and go alone, leaving Sandalphon and Valora to take care of the manor; as servants of Sune they would not be of much assistance in such circumstances anyway.

The elf put on her customary travelling outfit - an enchanted golden catsuit and matching knee-high leather boots on ten centimetre tall block heels. Aeriella’s boots were enchanted as well, they were fully water resistant, provided protection against heat and cold, and had increased durability. The sorceress could also regulate the noise her heels made, they could be anything from completely silent to having the clicking sound exaggerated to attract more attention. The suit was thin and tight, a regular woman could never wear something like that in public; but Aeriella was anything but regular, she was an elf, a sorceress and Lady in these lands, second only to her friend Laerinia. She also did not mind giving the peasants a reason to stare, drool and later gossip about. Aeriella also took a set of ingredients to numerous spells which might prove helpful, The Spell of Binding was among them; she had a bag tailored specifically for ingredients. She packed all of her equipment onto her horse, a beautiful pale stallion named Breeze.

The sorceress travelled along the main road for a day, then stopped at an inn to spend the night there. As was to be expected she instantly became the centre of attention. The locals were not brave enough to approach Aeriella, so they restrained themselves to stare at her body and whisper to one another. Not that she or Laerinia had been harsh to their subjects, they simply were considered semi-divine beings beyond the reach of common mortals. When the sorceress asked the host for a room and a meal she was served immediately, even though this was the main road, so the inn was busy and all of the rooms were taken. Unsurprisingly the innkeeper was kind enough to let Aeriella sleep in his bedroom. He was expected to act like that in such circumstances, but the elf still left him a considerable tip. After the meal the sorceress asked for a bath; swiftly a tub was brought into her (the innkeeper’s) bedroom and began to be filled with hot water. Aeriella was not vain or extravagant, but she enjoyed comfort when she could obtain it; she also enjoyed a bit of innocent teasing.

The bathing water was being brought in by the innkeeper’s sons, two young men strong enough to carry buckets with hot water back and forth. The elf was already in the bedroom when the boys were preparing her bath. She was sitting on the chair and taking off her boots when one of them entered carrying a full bucket. The young man could not help but stare at the elf in her tight catsuit; at first she feigned obliviousness, but had to react when the boy tripped into the tub and spilled some of the water. Aeriella just smiled amused when he stormed out to get a cloth to clean the mess. The elf let the boys do their work in silence, the amused smile was her only interaction. They still gazed at her body, but became more careful; eventually the tub was full. With their buckets empty the young men turned to leave.

“Wait,” Aeriella spoke in a sweet voice, “I’d like to ask you a favour.”

The boys stopped in their tracks and eagerly awaited the request; they were too intimidated to even reply, but the elf got used to such reactions.

“I’m tired after the road,” she continued, “would you be so kind and help me wash my back.”

The boys remained in place, they were not sure what was expected of them; that kind of reaction was also familiar to Aeriella. When she acted, they moved, or to be more specific, their jaws dropped open. The sorceress stood up, now barefoot, turned her back to the young men and began to take off her catsuit. The item did not have any buttons or lacings, but its enchantment allowed the elf to open any part at will; she chose the front and slowly slid down the catsuit until it was resting at her feet. Underneath she was wearing just a thong which soon also landed on the floor. Aeriella slowly lifted her leg and entered the tub, she was well aware that the boys were staring at her naked butt and wanted to tease them even further. She sat down, leaned forward and said:

“You can begin to clean my back when you’re ready.”

The young men were still unsure whether this was all happening; but finally were able to move; they looked around as if searching for sponges to use; Aeriella was still sitting with her back to them, so she could not see them, but she knew about their hesitancy; she added in an equally sweet voice:

“You can use your hands,” she lifted the soap which the innkeeper had brought earlier, “wet your palms in the tub, then soap them,” Aeriella made sure that her voice sounded like an invitation rather than a command.

This was the last prompt which finally caused the boys to act. Her words had the desired encouraging effect, two pairs of wet excited hands soon touched her back. The boys were not sure which spots they were supposed to clean, so they restrained themselves to the upper back and shoulders. Their touch was surprisingly firm though, apparently they managed to overcome their shyness and simply behaved like the goal was to just clean the elf’s smooth skin. The young men remained reserved as far as their reach went, but Aeriella knew how to encourage them.

“Be very diligent,” she said in a tone that now also sounded relaxed.

The boys did not suddenly go all out with hands, they behaved exactly as the elf had predicted they would. They both began to reach slightly further with their palms, centimetre by centimetre they ventured more to the sides and the bottom of the sorceress’ back. Eventually the first fingers began to gently poke the sides of Aeriella’s large breasts or caress the edge of her full buttocks. The elf issued a soft relaxed moan which only emboldened the boys. Their fingers gradually became more adventurous, reaching to the elf’s belly or lower down her buttocks, the soft pokes on the sides of her breasts happened more often. The cleaning continued for several minutes until Aeriella stopped it.

“Thank you,” she said in an almost dreamy voice, “I needed that. I’ll remember your helpfulness.”

Reluctantly the hands left her body, she then added:

“On the other hand I could still use your assistance.”

With these words the elf stood up, but remained inside of the tub. The boys stood mesmerised as they admired the back of the sorceress’ wet naked body.

“My towel is over there,” she pointed towards the bed, “please be so kind and dry my back.”

Both young men rushed to get the towel, in order to reach it they had to walk around the tub. When one of them retrieved it, he turned around and faced the naked elf. He had not seen the front of her body yet, so he froze in place, his eyes fixed on her breasts; his brother acted in the same fashion. Aeriella remained silent for a moment, she had expected a similar reaction, but it still amused her.

“Go ahead,” she finally said, maintaining the same tone of voice, “I wouldn’t want to use up too much of your time.”

The ashamed boys dropped their heads, which meant they were now looking at her legs. The sorceress used the moment to glance at their crotches, each pair of trousers was tented. They returned to her back and began to wipe it; the towel was large enough for them to share. The process of drying looked similar to that of cleaning, although this time the young men were bolder from the start. They reached slightly below Aeriella’s waist, but did not dare go any further; until she encouraged them again.

“Dry my entire back.”

The boys eagerly squatted down behind the naked elf and began to enthusiastically rub her legs and buttocks with the towel. Because they had only one such item every now and then a finger would slip and touch the sorceress’ naked skin; she made no comments. She enjoyed emboldening the young men. Eventually she stopped it with a simple statement.

“Thank you. You were very kind.”

She slowly turned around, took the towel from the boys and made a half-hearted effort to cover her breasts. They boys once again froze with their eyes fixed onto her body. It took another “Thank you” to wake them up. They both bowed down low and mumbled something incomprehensible in a servile tone; their faces were red and their walk awkward, because of the erections in their trousers. With an amused smile Aeriella dried the rest of her body. The little game had turned her on as well, so she lay back on the bed, still naked, and fingered herself to an orgasm.

Aeriella woke up rested and ready to continue her travel. The two brothers served her breakfast and saddled her horse, they were incredibly attentive; the elf promised them that she would stop at their inn on her way back as well. That was enough to make them beam with joy.
