Waking for an Early Day – 3C-QO

Chapter 3 – Getting Underway (continued)

For the second time in as many days, Kaylen woke to an uncomfortable erection. He was aware of noticing Talindra leave their shared bedroll during the night to go on watch, but he didn’t remember feeling her return, yet here she was her head on his chest, and her braid draped over one of her shoulders and across his torso.

He suppressed a groan, and stroked her hair briefly, and ran his hand down her back, but then paused when she stirred. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.” He whispered.

She turned her face up to him and looked at him in the dim light filtering through their canvas canopy. “I’m curious; do you always start your days aroused? That seems like it would become inconvenient, especially on the road.”

Kaylen chuckled, covering his face with his free hand, “You are very perceptive. Not every day, but when I wake up with a beautiful woman in my arms its out of my control.”

“Do you not practice discipline?” She asked, her tone playful.

“Maybe not enough. It isn’t as if I’ve been in this situation very frequently.”

“So I see.” He moved his hand to glance back down at her, but her own gaze had lowered as well, to where her hand had moved to his groin to cup his manhood through his trousers.

“Ah!” He gasped, causing her to withdraw her hand.

“My apologies, Kaylen. Are you injured?”

“No. Definitely not. Just startled. I didn’t expect…”

“Oh… was that rude of me?” She blushed, pulling away a bit more.

“You’re fine, it’s just… I guess I would have expected you to ask first.”

“I suppose I must correct that error. May I touch you, Kaylen? I am very curious and I have not had opportunity to see an aroused human male up close before now.”

“Go right ahead, just be gentle. It’s sensitive.”

He stifled a moan as Talindra’s dexterous fingers returned to his trousers and traced the outline of his erection through the thin material, seeming to marvel at the way it moved and throbbed under her touch.

“Take it out.” He whispered, and the elf complied, opening his trousers and slipping her hand inside to fish out what she’d been exploring through touch.

“There is hair…” She observed as her fingers brushed against the dark curls of his pubic hair.

“Yes. Do elves not grow pubic hair?”

Talindra shook her head, “I have not heard this term before. Elves grow hair only on their heads. Male elves do not even grow beards the way humans or dwarves do.”

“Is it a turn off for you?”

Talindra blinked at him, then withdrew her hand as her cheeks colored, “You mean, sexual… My apologies if I misled you, but I am not currently sexually aroused, I was simply curious. I did not mean to insinuate that…”

She looked away, “I am being naïve and untoward, aren’t I?”

“No, it’s fine, but you may have left me feeling sexually frustrated.” He assured her. “If anything it is my mistake for making assumptions.”

“What is required for you to cease your arousal?” She asked him, “Aside from intercourse…”

“You could finish me with your hand, or I could finish myself, or I could go wash in a cold stream if there is one nearby, or simply wait for it to go down on its own.”

“There is a stream.” She informed him, as she put a small amount of distance between them. “That path seems like it is probably the best since our time is somewhat limited. I hope you do not think lesser of me for being unwilling to ‘finish’ what I unwittingly started for you.”

“It’s fine.” He said simply, fastening his trousers as he tugged his boots on and then got to his feet. “I’ll go wash up, and rejoin you shortly, just point me towards that stream.”

“Go west behind the boulder about a hundred paces and you should be able to hear it just a little further on.”

Kaylen smiled and picked up his staff as he slipped past a sleeping Ursa and out of the camping area. The air outside was still damp and chill, with the sun brightening the morning sky but not yet risen above the horizon.

Kaylen made his way into the woods in search of the flowing water. Just as Talindra had said, he began to hear the babbling of the stream after about a hundred paces, then came into sight of it after about sixty more. When he arrived, he knelt down to splash some water on his face and in his hair, only to spin about when he heard footsteps approaching, his staff at the ready.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.” Dinnae said, her eyes wide as she took a step back. She was still wearing her night dress, though she’d put her boots on the same as he had.

“It’s fine.” He said again, lowering his weapon. “Can I do something for you, or did you come to wash as well?”

The ****-girl’s face turned beet red as she moved a few steps closer, refusing to meet his gaze, but before he could question her further, she said, “I heard you and Lynn speaking. She… left you uh… unfinished?” She asked, though she’d already seen the evidence of his arousal tenting his pants, her eyes seemed quite unable to look away.

“There really isn’t much privacy in that camp.” Kaylen observed, resisting the urge to cover himself.

“I still appreciate you not imposing on me. But I also feel indebted to you. Will you accept my assistance with that?” She gestured to his manhood, finally raising her gaze to his.

Kaylen blinked, then smiled, “By all means.” He held a hand out towards her.

She smiled, and took his hand, allowing him to pull her close. He kissed her gently, and when she pulled back, she said, “I don’t have much experience. But I’ve heard men like when a woman uses her mouth?”

“Have you ever finished a man before?”

She looked down, “I’ve… let a man touch me, and touched him in return, but no, I’ve not finished a man. But I’m willing to learn… with you, Master.”

“I’ll never order you to do anything of this nature, so when we’re intimate together, I’m not your master. Is that understood?”

She looked back up to his face again, and then nodded, smiling at him, “Alright, Kaylen. Though, there are some things that can’t change just because you’re being nice. I still can’t attack you, for instance.”

“Which means I won’t have to tell you to be careful with your teeth, I suppose.” He mused with a chuckle.

“My…” Her eyes went wide, “Oh gods, I hadn’t even considered that. Yes, of course, I’ll be careful.”

“Then let’s not waste any time. We’ll need to finish and get back to the others.” He suggested, moving to a nearby tree and leaning back against it to get comfortable as she followed.

He put his hands on her shoulders and gave a gentle push to get her to her knees on the bed of dry leaves under the tree. Then she watched as he opened his trousers and lowered them far enough for his half-hard manhood to spring free. “Go ahead and touch it.” He advised as she stared with wide eyes.

With a nod, she reached out with both hands to touch him, exploring his length as he quickly returned to full hardness. “You are quite a bit larger than the other boy I played around with. I suppose that figures, since I think you are taller than he was as well.”

“Why don’t you taste it?” He urged.

She leaned in and extended her tongue, licking the underside of his cock near the tip. Her tongue withdrew, and then emerged again to gather a drop of his precum. “Oh, it’s bitter.” She said, making a face.

“Do you need to stop?”

She shook her head, “It’s not that bad.” She assured him before going back in and licking it twice more, and then wrapping her lips around the entire head, causing Kaylen to moan and throw his head back.

She began to suckle, and Kaylen ran his fingers through her sleep-mussed hair, “Use your tongue a bit more.”

She responded immediately, pushing her tongue against his cock and moving it in a circle around his head before flattening it against the underside of his shaft.

“Don’t stop moving your hands.” He added, resisting the urge to push her head down. He wanted her to stay comfortable, to make this as enjoyable an experience for her as possible.

Once again she immediately complied, holding the base of his cock in one hand while stroking up and down that part of the shaft that didn’t fit in her mouth with the other.

“Fuck, Danny!” He moaned out, tightening his grip in her hair and rocking his hips forwards.

“Mmmrph!” She murmured, her eyes going wide as he began to pulse in her mouth a second before the first spurt of his seed spilled across her tongue.

She quickly pulled back, coughing, only for the second rope to hit her across the face. She immediately closed her eyes and aimed his cock away from her for the last few spurts of his orgasm, draining him onto the grass.

“Sorry about that, I didn’t think to warn you, it came up on me pretty fast.” Kaylen said after he’d caught his breath.

“I knew it was coming.” She croaked out, still coughing. “I just… it went down wrong.”

Kaylen quickly picked up his staff and cast a flash heal on her, which seemed to clear her throat. She smiled gratefully at him, then pulled a handkerchief from under the neckline of her gown.

“Allow me.” Kaylen said, muttering another quick incantation to clean off her face.

She winced, “That stung a little.” She told him.

“Sorry, magic tries to be efficient, but it’s not always pleasant.” He smiled at her as she got back to her feet, and brushed bits of dried leaves off her knees. “Come, let’s rinse off a bit quickly, and return to the others. I’m sure they’ll wonder why we’ve been gone as long as we have.”

“Somehow I imagine most of them will guess accurately.” Dinnae said with a chuckle as they both moved to the stream to splash some water on their faces, though Kaylen cast another scouring spell on himself before refastening his trousers.

By the time they returned to camp, the sun had risen and the day was rapidly warming up, and the others were already breaking down the canvas awning and putting away bedrolls. Talindra and Ursa were dressed in their full kit, and only Alanthea still seemed blurry-eyed sitting on her bedroll.

“Hope you are ‘refreshed’.” Janel told them with a wink when she spotted them coming around the boulder. Dinnae blushed, and ducked her head as she went to gather her things and her bedroll.

Meanwhile, Kaylen went to his nook, out of sight of the others except for Ursa, and quickly dressed himself. In only a few minutes the horses were packed, and everyone was dressed and geared up ready to ride.

They made their way back on the road in the same formation as the previous day, with Lyria and Lynn up front, followed by Kaylen and Danny, Janel and Alanthea, and finally Ursa in the back. They ate a quick breakfast while they rode along the path, the sounds of the forest gradually waking and coming alive around them. Less than an hour later they emerged into the cleared lands in front of the gates of the logging village, Glenvale.
