Training montage, day 3

The next morning you ask Brighid to let you help her some more in the forge; she beams at you and gives you a nice, slow kiss as you show interest in one of her passions. After a more modest breakfast, you both suit up in the stiff leather spark and heat protection and she starts work on an arrowhead. She explains that, aside from nails, arrowheads are the quickest and easiest thing she usually makes, and with the attack on Bannagh Macht coming arrows are higher on the list of important tasks than nails at the moment.

First, she heats up the end of a long metal rod in her furnace, then she beats the tip flat. She heats it up again, then carefully turns the rod as she hammers it, forming the thin patch into a circular socket. Then, she heats it once again and, placing the rod over the narrow tip of a steel wedge, carefully breaks the proto-arrowhead free. She fits the socket onto a narrower metal rod, re-heats the other end of the arrowhead blank, and then pounds it into a sort of diamond shape. The arrowhead is dipped into a barrel of water to cool and temper it, then she shows you how to sharpen the edges on her grindstone.

She hands you a smith’s hammer and has you try your hand at the next one. Predictably, with 1 level in Smithing and none in Weaponsmithing, you make several errors, but Brighid is patient with you, letting you make your mistakes and then showing you how to fix them. Once you’re through with the truly silly mistakes, she sets you up at a smaller anvil to the side of the forge and tells you to do your best and not to worry about any that don’t come out usable, as she can just melt them back down into new ingots and rods. By the time she calls a stop in the early afternoon, you have managed to make a handful of usable, if low quality, arrowheads.

Congratulations! You have reached levels 2 and 3 in Smithing.
Congratulations! You have reached levels 1 and 2 in Weaponsmithing. You are now Unskilled in Weaponsmithing. Weaponsmithing is a subskill of Smithing.

You eat lunch at home, then Brighid packs up some supplies and leads you well outside of the village. You walk and talk for a couple of hours until you arrive at a narrow valley. She takes a deep breath, then explains to you that the pair of you are going to learn how to ride together. When the warriors leave for Bannagh Macht, they are going to run the whole way, and there’s no way you can keep up. There are also no horses broken for riders in the village, nor any saddles. The only way for you to be present at the battle are for you to leave several days early or for you to ride a centaur, and the only centaur who would even consider letting you ride them is Brighid.

She unpacks a thick blanket which is normally worn under a pair of saddlebags to help prevent the straps from cutting into the wearer’s skin and has you help her place it over her back. Then, she kneels beside you and has you climb up onto her back. She rises back up, but the motion nearly unseats you and you have to grab her around the waist to stay on her back. You readjust your seating and she begins to walk around. It takes the pair of you a good half hour before you’re both comfortable moving at even a very sedate walk. Once you have that down, she moves into a trot, and you really wish she hadn’t; the jolting gait is extremely uncomfortable. Nonetheless, you grit your teeth and work with her to the point where you’re not being bounced off her back. After that, she moves to a canter -- which is a breath of fresh air after the trot -- and then a full gallop.

Once you get the hang of it, it’s an amazing experience to ride around on her back at high speed, her hair blowing back behind her, feeling her powerful muscles flex and stretch between your legs in a way you’ve never felt before. In fact, that feeling and the knowledge that she is doing something so taboo to her culture just for you arouses you. You carefully lean forward and wrap your arms around Brighid’s waist, then slide your hands up and fill them with her heavy, bouncing breasts. You rest your chin on her shoulder and say into her long, pointed ear, "How does it feel to have me truly mounted upon you, my little mare? To have your Lord riding you, to submit to me in the most forbidden way?" You twist and tug at her nipples and continue, "What would the people think if they saw us like this? Saw me riding you like a common horse -- or maybe a common whore?" You feel her chest vibrate with a moan at that and you bite her neck where it meets her shoulder in response. "Does that thought stir you up, little mare? Does it make your cunt all sloppy to think of the village watching me ride you around and then mount you? To feel their eyes watching you, judging you as you submit to my every whim and pleasure? I think I'll make you strut for them; I want to show off my beautiful, powerful mare so that they can all see what they're losing out on when I claim you in front of them and cover you with my scent and my seed."

Her gait develops a hitch and you realize that her gallop has turned into a running prance. You give her nipples an extra-strong twist in reward and kiss her neck. "Good girl, show yourself off for them. Let them see how eagerly you dance for me. Lift your legs high, then lift your tail so they can see your juices coating you. In fact, lift your arms, too." You gather the bottom of her shirt and lift it off of her over her raised arms, baring her breasts to the winds and the imaginary onlookers, then cover them again with your hands. "Now they can see every inch of my mare and wish they were man -- or woman -- enough to claim you."

Brighid comes to a sudden stop; you would have been thrown from her back but for your tight grip around her waist and breasts. She lowers herself to the ground and looks over her shoulder at you, eyes wild and absolutely blazing with lust. "Please, Aidan, my Lord, my stallion, mount me properly! Fuck my little mare pussy and coat me with your seed! Make me cum on your human cock while the whole village watches! Please, I need you!"

Your heated words have aroused you nearly as much as your Paladin lover, so you slide down off her back, scramble around behind her, tug down your pants just far enough to free your dick, and thrust fully into her molten-hot, soaking-wet pussy in a single thrust. She cries out loudly in pleasure and you see her hands have already replaced yours on her breasts, mauling her own soft flesh and tugging savagely at her own nipples. Her inner muscles squeeze tightly around you in pulses and you realize that she is on the verge of an orgasm already. You pull back and then thrust into her again, hard enough to send ripples across her rump, and her back starts to arch. You call out to her, your voice demanding, "Let them all see you cum for your Lord, Brighid. Let them see who owns you!" Her voice rises in pitch with each hard thrust you make into her, her cries of pleasure echoing off of the nearby hills until she bucks and shrieks and you feel her clamp down around you. Her pussy ripples around you, eagerly tugging at your cock as you slam your hips as hard as you can against her lifted ass and join her in orgasm.

After what feels like half an hour of your cock jerking inside of her and her cunt eagerly drinking down your seed, you collapse forward across her back and stroke her flanks tenderly. She sighs contentedly and twists her torso to look back at you, her eyes still slightly unfocused from her climax. Slowly she focuses on you and then gives you a tired, but mischievous, smile and says, "Just for the record ... I was earning skill experience in Submission even before you started whispering in my ear. I think I see another reason why we do not usually allow ourselves to be ridden. But I am already yours, my love." She pulls another heavy blanket out of her saddlebag and hands it to you. "Here, come cuddle with me. We need to get a full night's sleep; our day starts early tomorrow."
