After a short ride, and then a longer one

Ysbail runs with the rest of you just long enough to say her goodbyes, as she was telling the truth that she just happened to be in the area and has another job to do. The other three fall into a loose formation along with Brighid, with Cai and Llwyd at the outside of the formation. You notice that they both brought their weapons and shields; it looks like you have a pair of bodyguards now. Only a couple of minutes into the ride, two Skill notifications pop up in your mental interface.

Congratulations! You have reached level 10 in Riding. You are now an Initiate in Riding; in addition to the benefits from previous ranks, you gain 50% less discomfort from your mount's gait.
Congratulations! You have reached level 10 in Centaurback Riding. You are now an Initiate in Centaurback Riding; in addition to the benefits from previous ranks, any centaur you ride will become very slightly more submissive towards you every time you ride them. This benefit stacks indefinitely, but it will gradually wear off if you do not ride that centaur for long enough.
You have earned 500 experience for reaching Initiate rank in two Skills.

Oh yeah, that. You forgot about that with Brighid breaking down and the drama at the canyon entrance. You're actually not sure how much more submissive you want Brighid to be, so you make a mental note to talk to her about this and look into buying a horse suitable for riding. Of course, you'll have to break the horse to the saddle, and get a saddle for that matter... For now, you decide that just a little more wouldn't be a bad thing, and you slide your right hand down to Brighid's belly and then back up under her shirt to place your hand on her bare left breast. You take a moment to marvel at the fact that, so far as you know, Brighid does not even own a bra, yet her breasts barely sag at all -- just enough to show their heaviness without losing their perfect shape. It must be her high Attractiveness at work, at least partially. It may also be part of centaur physiology, because despite running at her second-fastest pace, her breasts aren't flopping all over her chest, and neither are Ceirios's also-impressive tits. They bounce, for sure, but not much more than a human woman with such large breasts wearing a sports bra. There is movement, but only enough to entice, not to smack a running centaur in the face with their own boob, or disrupt their balance or rhythm. Truly, the Realms are a wondrous place.

Riding Brighid always gets you at least a little aroused, and with her placing your hand on her tit openly with an audience, you're pretty sure she's at least a little revved up as well. You rest your chin on her shoulder and whisper in her ear, "They're all watching, you know." You squeeze her breast in your palm. "They watched you kneel so I could mount you and they watched you put my hand on your tit. They all saw me slip my hand under your shirt. They may not know what your collar means, but they know you're mine, little mare." A shiver runs down her spine at your words and you can feel her skin heating up. "I think you still need another reminder that you belong to me though. We aren't going to stop outside of the village so that I can dismount and walk the rest of the way in. Fuck it, I'm sure the whole village has heard about the outcome of the battle by now and the rumors are rampant, we might as well add a few more. I'm going to ride you all the way up to the door of your home, and I'm not going to make any secrets about what I'm going to do with you once we're inside. In fact, remember when we first rode together like this, before we cleared out the dungeon? Remember how you pranced for me?" Her skin grows even hotter at the memory. "That's right. Once we get to the village, you're going to do it again, but this time the village really will be watching. In fact, let's re-create that whole scene. Arms up." You tell her, and she obediently lifts her arms so that you can pull her shirt up over her head and stuff it into your haversack.

The other three centaurs look to the side at the sudden movement, and Brighid blushes scarlet at their attention. Cai grins and gives you a wink and Ceirios just shakes her head, but Llwyd actually falters for a step as he watches your hands sink into the redhead's soft tits. Then his eyes meet Cai's and his head snaps back forward. You spend the next few minutes kneading Brighid's breasts and playing with her nipples, getting them good and hard and making sure her skin keeps the scarlet flush of her arousal. When the village itself draws within sight, you tell her again, "Alright, little mare, time to strut your stuff. We can slow down to a walk but lift those legs." Her skin is nearly the same color as her hair clear down to her nipples, but she obeys you without hesitation or complaint. She slows down from a canter and picks her hooves up higher off the ground. The guards stare at you as you pass through the gate, and you decide to push Brighid just a little bit more. "Lift your tail up, love. Not all the way, keep your pussy just barely covered, but I want everyone we pass to see how your haunches glisten with your arousal." She whimpers softly in response. You don't bother looking back; you know that she isn't going to disobey you. You continue groping her breasts openly as you ride Brighid through the streets, drawing stares and whispers from everyone you pass, but you're too tired and too done with this to care about the consequences right now, aside from what you're going to do to Brighid once you get her home.

Ceirios breaks off from the group shortly after you enter the village, giving you a wave as she heads for her own home, but Cai and Llwyd escort you all the way to the forge. They take up positions to either side of the door as Brighid kneels for you to dismount. You look at them and briefly consider telling them to go home, but then a wicked thought comes to mind and you decide to let them stay. Brighid opens the door and you follow her inside. By the time you turn back around from closing the door behind you, she is already halfway to the bed, her tail flopped up over her back to expose her dripping cunt completely to you. She kneels down on the cushioned bed and lifts her rump just slightly, looking at you over her shoulder with an expression of desperate need. "Please, Master, I know it is not my place to decide what happens, but may your mare make a request?" You nod your agreement as you walk towards the bed, pulling off your clothes and haversack as you go. "Then, should it please you, Master, please take me and claim my ass and pussy again, fill me with your seed and cover me with your scent. I cannot bear to go any longer knowing that that thing was the last one to have me. I need to submit to your cock again, my Lord, my Master, my love, please!"

You shed your pants, freeing your hard cock, and walk up behind her. She lifts her rump another few inches to meet your hands as you rub and knead her muscular ass, then you take your dick in hand and rub it over her thick, juicy pussy lips. You stroke your tip up and down across her labia a few times and poke her clit with it, then center it on her opening and thrust in hard and fast. "Request granted," you tell her in a low growl. "Take it all!" Your pelvis slaps against her buttocks with a meaty sound and you immediately pull almost all the way out and thrust hard into her again, setting a bruising pace. Brighid's voice calls out in pleasure and triumph as you roughly stake your claim on her body. You sink your fingers into her haunches, gripping on for leverage, and order her, "That's right, my mare, shout it out loud! Cai and Llwyd are right outside, let them hear you. They need to get used to the sight and sounds of their liege lord taking his pleasure from you!"

Her hips roll and push back against you eagerly and she lifts her voice even louder as you feel the tell-tale signs of Brighid approaching her climax around you. "Yes, Aidan, Master! Fuck me, take me, I'm yours, all yours! Tame my cunt with your big fat human cock and brand my womb with your seed! Oh, fuck, cumming! Already! Cumming, Masterrrrrrrr!" She clenches down tightly around you, the superb dexterity of her internal muscles allowing her to grip tight around the base of your shaft while the muscles around your tip pulse and squeeze rhythmically. You aren't nearly ready to fill her with your cum yet, though, and you grit your teeth as you pull back out of her grasping pussy and shove right back in, her inner walls fighting against your exit and pulling your back in. She continues to call out her pleasure at the top of her lungs, "Oh, fuck, yes, yes, yes, yes, keep fucking me, yes, oh fuck, Master! Don't stop, don't ever stop, keep fucking me, again, cumming again! Yours, yours, I belong to you, belong to your cock, my Master's big fucking cock, oh Braihan, I'm still cumming! On Master's cock!"

Brighid's extended orgasm is taking a toll of your ability to stave off your own, so you jam yourself hard into her and take just a split second to cast Minor Shift, decreasing the sensitivity of your skin. You'll need to re-cast it before you're done, possibly a few times, but you aren't doing this to get off. Brighid may have been brought back from the edge of a breakdown by your mock trial in the canyon, but her request to you shows that she's still suffering from emotional damage. You won't be able to heal it all this afternoon, but maybe you can at least start the process, and the more and more powerfully she cums with you now, the easier it should be for her to heal from what the Taig did to her.

Shaking your head and telling yourself to get back to it, you resume pumping into Brighid's blazing hot, soaking wet pussy. The short reprieve created a gap in her overstimulated sexual babble, but she starts back up again shortly after you do. "Oh fuck yes, more, please more!" She begs, and you give it to her. Even as you thrust away inside her cunt, you bring the head of your tail down and rub it against her lower lips and tease her thick little clit. By now she is familiar with what your tail feels like against her pussy and ass and she begs you loudly, "Yes! Your tail! Fuck me with your tail and your cock! Take me everywhere at once! Please, Master, more!" You ignore her pleas for several more seconds, making sure the diamond-shaped tip of your tail is well-lubricated with her thick fluids. Finally it's coated as well as you can expect it to be, though, and you place the tapered tip at her puckered asshole and twist it slowly as you press it against her ass. She involuntarily pushes herself partway off the floor shoving herself back onto you, shouting out wordless chants of pleasure as your tail literally screws its way inside her. Finally, the widest part of the flanges pushes past her sphincter and you feel the muscle clench tightly around you as you plunge several centimeters into her all at once.

You are actually lifted off the ground a bit by Brighid's reaction. She comes halfway to her full standing height as a scream of utter ecstasy and submission tears its way out of her throat, then she collapses back to the bed as her climax, the biggest one yet, steals her strength. You fall with her, clinging to her rump and hind legs somehow, and the sudden stop at the end of the short fall drives your cock and tail even deeper into her. She groans and her cunt spasms in an unfamiliar way, then you feel a sudden splash of wetness coat your groin. You slap her hard on the ass and say, "You little slut, you just squirted all over me!" She cums again in response. You take a moment to re-cast Minor Shift on yourself, then you begin plowing her hard in both holes. It takes a ton of focus, enough that you doubt you would be able to manage it without deadening the sensation in your tail and cock, but you manage to set up a separate rhythm with both appendages, so that your cock and the flanged tip of your tail are always in different places inside her relative to each other.

Brighid's cries devolve into a series of "Master! Fuck! Yours! Yes!" And similar one-word exclamations as you fuck her as thoroughly and dominantly as you can. You lean over her rump in the way that drives her crazy, pressing your belly against the coarser hairs of her tail as you do your best impression of a stallion mounting a mare, laying as much of your body as you can along her back and wrapping your arms around her chest. She loses the ability to speak in even single words again as you do, so you pick up the narrative, growling at her in a low, intent voice.

"That's right, Brighid. The Brighaid put you here for me and I have claimed you in every way. You are mine to take any where I want, any time I want, in any way I want. You exist to serve my pleasure, mine, Brighid. But it's not just your physical body that I own. I own you body, mind, heart, and soul, my little mare. It may happen that someone else forces themselves on your body again, and maybe even clouds your mind. But I own it all Brighid, all of you, everything that makes you, you, belongs to me. No one else can take your heart or your soul. Do you understand?" She only groans and cries out and spasms around you as she has been doing since you started talking again, so you spank her butt once, twice, and a third time and roar at her, "I said, do you understand!"

"Yes! Master! Body, Mind, Heart, Soul! Yours!" Her voice is hoarse from over-use but she manages to shout that out loudly enough that you're pretty sure Cai and Llwyd know exactly how thorough your hold on your red-headed Soulmate is now.

"Good girl," you tell her. "Now cum for me like you've never cum before. Cum for your Master, Brighid Fireheart!" Even as you begin to speak those words, you release your concentration on the Minor Shift, and as soon as you finish you cast Minor Shift again, this time to enhance your sensitivity. It's like you've gone from watching old school black and white movies on a tiny CRT TV to watching full color HD VR movies in a full immersion rig; the sudden change in sensitivity is so intense you climax almost instantly. You roar your pleasure and thrust hard against her, jamming your cock as deeply as it can possibly get into her clenching pussy.

Even as you do, Brighid's head snaps back as her back arches deeply, sending her hair flying through the air like streamers of lava in a volcanic eruption. Her mouth is open wide, but her scream is silent, and it's a good thing you are already cumming into her because her internal muscles are clenched so tightly around you that you aren't sure you can actually pull out without ripping off the head of your cock or the tip of your tail. Your hips roll and thrust against her rump involuntarily as you pump stream after stream of your sticky white seed uselessly into her. Brighid continues to twitch and spasm with her back arched, and her innards flutter and clench around you, for at least a solid minute. Finally, though, she shudders heavily and slumps forward and to the side, pulling you down with her as she topples sideways onto the bed.

You pull out of her and move to stand up to wash yourself off, but Brighid whimpers and struggles against the bed until she turns herself around to face you. She wordlessly wraps her arms around your thighs and lowers her head to your softening dick. The redheaded warrior cleans you with her tongue and mouth, slowly and methodically covering every inch of your dick, balls, groin, and thighs before she lets you go. She gives you a tired smile and you smile back at her, slipping a hand behind her head to pull her up towards you as you lean down. You give her a tender, loving kiss on the lips, then release her head so that you can join her on the bed. She wraps you in her arms again and within moments she is out like a light.
