The Heat of Summer

Author’s Note. This one is a bit more talk and exploration of the world I’ve been building. I hope it’s to your liking! Enjoy!!

—————————————————————————————

Selania stirred from her sleep, stretching her arms out, feeling her love stir in her embrace. She flit her tongue out, breathing his scent in with a shudder. Running her fingers through his hair, cooing and nuzzling him to her chest as she looked down on him.

In his sleep, he groped her hips with sleepy need. She let her other hand stray down to where they were connected, rubbing her fingertip across his cock, coaxing it to release more of his essence into her.

Feeling him tense up again, his length pushed deeper into her womb. She leaned in, caressing his cheek as she teased his length in slowly. Gently.

She hummed a sweet melody in his ears as he began to stir. His eyes opened for a moment as he mumbled, before she put a finger to his mouth, shushing him.

“Shhhh…. sleep my love….” She caressed his cheek, winding a blue symbol around his ear as she whispered. “Ses’lalah mesh’uless nesloss”

Her whisper echoed in the chambers as James slumped into her embrace, smiling as her spell wove beautiful dreams into his mind. Selania rolled her hips slowly, with purpose into his cock, feeling his precum begin to mix with her own arousal.

His heat rose, waking her more and more, as she rotated her tail around him, massaging his muscles and feeling him with every cool part of her coils.

His body responded to her prodding and massaging slowly but surely, as his cock finally gave in, releasing his seed into her.

She loved feeling him fill her. Tears formed in her eyes as her smile broadened. She loved him…. So deeply. So much.

Her coils shifted, covering him fully in a cocoon within her embrace. Laying her head down on her tail, she drifted back off to sleep, keeping his cock inside her, safe…. warm….

Just outside of the hut, right at the clearing, a deer grazed the grass for a moment. Looking up to the village, its eyes glinted as its body shifted.

In its place, stood a lithe figure in the shadows. In a flash, it grabbed the bag James had left, rummaging through it until it found his camera.

With a smirk the figure darted back into the woods, leaving his pack out for all to see…..

—————————————————————————————

The morning sun poured into the window, directly onto Selania. Her eyes flit open, smiling and yawning as she unwound herself from James, who was still passed out. Her magic had gotten more potent recently, and this last spell may have gone a bit overboard.

She giggled as she waved her hands near his temple, dispelling the runes swirling around his head.

“~Jaaaaames~ it’s morning sweetie. You’ve got a big day ahead of you, remember?” She rubbed his hair, waking him from his slumber. His eyes sparkled as he looked into her own, a sleepy smile forming on him.

“Hey honey. Mmm, give me a minute. Maybe…. five more minutes.”

James nuzzled his head into her tail again, wrapping his arms around her. Selania cooed, tracing his cheek as she rocked him.

“Heehee, c’mon sleepy, you gotta keep your promise.” Selania unwrapped him as he fell back into her tail, groggy, but beginning to truly wake now.

“Alright, alright. I think I’m waking up now. Hey, babe?”

Selania darted forward and kissed him deeply, her tongue flitting out and teasing his before he could process what just happened. She pulled back, licking her lips with a mischeivous grin.

“I learn pretty quickly too.”

James stared in pure adoration for a moment before smiling himself. “Heh, yeah. Yeah you do. God, I love you.”

“Love you too! Oh and James, I’m gonna have to help out my sister tonight with something. I probably won’t be free until tomorrow.”

“So, keep my schedule free in the morning is what I’m hearing?”

She smiled, laying her head back down on their bed spread. “Well…. that would be fantastic if you would… I want you allllll to myself sometime. Well, maybe alot of the time, actually.”

“Heh, read my mind, why don’t you. Done and done! Good luck out there, ok? Stay safe.”

“You too. Especially if you’re going to be helping Iphresse. She’s definitely got a plan for you today.”

Swallowing, James nodded as he left the hut. The morning sun shone through the trees as he breathed in. His heart felt lighter today than he had in years.

“Oh Jamesy~! Had a pretty good night I see.” Iphresse’s voice encircled behind him as he felt her tail wrap around his waist. He could feel her press into his back as she spoke.

How the hell did she sneak up on him that quick?

“Well that’s perfectly fine, because it turns out, I don’t need you quiiiiite yet. Turns out I needed to…. help our friend get comfortable. And I needed some help to keep her occupied while we waited.”

“Comfortable? What does that mean?”

“Nothing you need to worry about just yet! Hah, besides, I’ve got the perfect idea for an outing. How would you like that Jamesy?”

“I imagine there’s no saying ‘no’ to this? Ah well, that works out for me. So, what kind of job do you have in mind?”

“Well, just follow me for now. We can see if you’d like to join in or not once we get there.”

—————————————————————————————

Iphresse guided James up the hills, a huge grin on her face while they walked. After a couple of hours of travelling and chatting, she stopped him.

“So, Jamesy, as much as I want to hog you to myself, I thought today would be a won-derful opportunity to get you acquainted with a few of our best hunters.”

“Wait, we’re hunting? I didn’t bring anything to hunt!” James looked back down the hill with a scowl. He really should’ve considered every possibility.

“Well, one form of it. James, have you ever been up this way?”

He shook his head, raising his brows inquisitively. He realized just how high up he was, looking back to the village below. It seemed so small from up here. The clouds seemed a lot closer too.

“Well, you remember what Visseth was good at?”

James nodded, a bit of a blush forming in his cheeks as he remembered that night. “Mhm. She was the expert fisher right?”

“Mhm~ and she’s got company today. Soooo, I figured you could have a little dip with the girls while I get to work on our little deal. Oh, and you can swim right?”

James absent mindedly nodded, still a bit caught up in his thoughts.

That was, until Iphresse’s tail wrapped around James’ in a flash. His eyes widened as realization took over.

“Have fun!!”

And like that, she flung James through the brush.

Time slowed for him as the bright summer sun blinded him for a moment. Air flowed through his hair as he yelled, only to realize he was thrown directly over the largest and clearest mountain spring he had ever seen.

He could see fish of every color swimming beneath him, all the way to the bottom of the pool. He was falling now, as his yells of fear were replaced with pure child like joy, as he folded himself into the perfect cannon ball.

In just a few seconds, he became a happy teen again.

He splashed hard as water billowed from his landing. Quickly regaining his sense of direction, he swam upwards until he breached, laughing as he shook his head.

“Coulda warned me, Iphresse! Hahahaha!”

James cleared his eyes as he looked around for dry land. But what caught his gaze first was his present company.

Visseth had breached alongside him, shaking her hair back as she opened her orange eyes. Her red scales encircled him as she kept herself afloat. And something else that caught his eyes was a distinct lack of something.

She was completely naked.

“Hey cutie.”

James stammered a bit as he tread water, as two more splashes caught his attention. An emerald and rose tail sweeped the water around them as a light green skinned woman slid behind him.

“Ooh, who do we have here?”

Finally the water began to form a whirpool underneath him as he felt his feet being sucked down. A tinge of panic was quickly replaced as he felt two arms scoop him up in a firm and strong embrace.

Scars lined her yellow body as he got a closer look. It was the warrior lamia from the village!

“Ss’ath shunima lej nu, silna rass.” Her voice was gruff, but somehow incredibly comforting as he felt her grip his body, carrying him to shore.

“Tch, say what you will Ses’rin, but you’re just happy you get to carry him.”

James glanced up to see her bite her lip, before noticing him. She smirked, rubbing his arm as she laid him down on shore. Her hair was cut shorter than usual, and her skin seemed more tan than a few nights ago.

The emerald colored lamia splashed up and out of the water landing near James. Her crystal blue eyes bore into his, as she leaned in, getting a good look at him.

“Wow, Selania really scored big huh? So, you’re…. Jays?”

Visseth pulled her back, shushing her with her tail. “*Ahem*Sorry James, Lunissa isn’t the best with names.”

Visseth pulled Lunissa up, ribbing her a bit as she grinned.

“But she’s damn good at a lot of other things. Wouldn’t be a good haul without her! So what brings our esteemed guest down to our tribe’s sacred pool?”

“Oh please Visseth, the poor boy doesn’t need your teasing. This pool isn’t some sacred ground, not like the tribe’s ritual circle or the caves deeper in. But it is a great spot to just let everything loose and enjoy ourselves.” Lunissa stretched her arms, drawing James’ eyes in, despite his best efforts to keep his eyes down. She bat her lashes a few times, pouting her lips out in a mock kiss, before she eased her tail back into the water, sliding into the pool with a satisfied sigh.

Visseth grinned wickedly, sidling up to James while he was distracted, grabbing his hand and bringing it to her mouth as she slid her tongue between his fingers. James yelped, much to the lamia’s shared delight as they both bursted out laughing.

“You’re right, he is fun to play with! Poor manling, he’s so easily distracted.”

“I told you so! But, let’s ease up a bit. Poor boy isn’t used to this much attention. Guess he shares a thing or two in common with our local bread winner huh?!”

Visseth cocked her head backwards, raising her brow at Ses’rin, who didn’t even flinch as she slithered towards a nearby makeshift pulley filled with tools. Visseth shook her head, shrugging her shoulders as she returned her gaze to James.

“So, all teasing aside, I’m guessing you didn’t just dive in of your own volition. I’m going to hazard a guess and say…… Iphresse?”

“Tch, how’d you guess? She usually stir the pot here?” James chuckled, splashing his feet in the water. “Nevermind, I should’ve known. She seemed pretty wily from my few meetings with her. Why wouldn’t she mess with you guys too?”

“Oh she’s always trying something! Just two weeks ago, she and Sashelle managed to trick Ses’rin back there into tracking a ‘bear’. Turns out, they just wanted to see if they could surprise her and take her down. Almost got her too, Sashelle is a master with muscles.”

“Ish’lesna besh nona li Sashelle, *hahaha* ses lefna shus’ri.”

“Yes, you did do really well, even when they tied your tail down. But then again, that’s just more proof you being our tribe’s best fighter.”

Ses’rin smiled before scoffing and turning back to her work. Despite herself, her tail flexed a bit, showing off her powerful physique. James couldn’t help but stare in awe as Ses’rin glanced back, a soft smile crossing her face before she grunted and turned back.

“Soooo, since you’ve been thrown in the deep end…. want to swim with the best?”

Lunissa bounced up, her bubbly attitude taking over as her smile broadened. “Oh oh! Yeah come swim with us! We can show you the cool underwater caves and the cool fish, and-”

“Only if he wants to! He was thrown in here, and he clearly wasn’t ready for this. He’s still wearing his clothes!”

“But that’s just more reason for him to swiiiiim! Look, we can set up a fire and let his clothes dry, and he can swim just like us. Just. Like. Us.”

James blushed, realising his position. His manhood was already coming to life, and he was being asked to….. strip.

He had never gone skinny dipping before. Especially not in good company….

“Oh I don’t want to interrupt your day….” James rubbed his neck bashfully, seeing the girls pout in disappointment, save Ses’rin, who was readying a fishing net, barely nodding as she mumbled to herself.

He could just head back. But… all of that really did sound like a lot of fun.

Besides, life was about risks right? That’s how he ended up in the woods. That’s how he met Selania. That’s how he found his home.

“But…. You know what? Why not!” James pulled his shirt over his head as Visseth gasped.

“Wait- really? You actually….” Her eyes lit up a bit as she grinned. “Well alright then human, but you gotta strip ALL of it. Otherwise, you’ll just catch a cold when you head back down the hill.”

Lunissa splashed up at the edge of the pool, eagerly watching James as he began to take his belt buckle off. Ses’rin looked for a moment, quickly turning back around she saw what her friends were watching, blushing as she huffed.

Both girls exaggeratedly ooh’d and aah’d, as James turned, lowering his pants down and kicking them off. Before either of them got a chance to get a good look, James broke into a sprint, diving headfirst into the pool. The girls squealed in delight, following quickly after their new friend.

The cool water enveloped him as he opened his eyes. The water didn’t burn his pupils somehow, like a dream. The lush blue colors reflected perfectly as he swam, admiring just how beautiful everything here was.

Darting underneath the surface, Visseth surpassed James, diving deeper and deeper, until she reached the bottom.

Lunissa circled James, before dipping just underneath him. Her elegant form mesmerized James as she looped around and around. Her tail trailed deeper into the depths as her tip suddenly wrapped around James’ waist, bringing him down with her gently.

Water rushed across James’ face as he exhaled instinctively. He was running out of breath. He grimaced as he felt his body start to fight instinctively, trying to swim back to the surface.

Suddenly, Lunissa turned, letting James glide into her embrace as she locked lips with him, breathing a cool breath of air into his lungs. She locked eyes with him, feeling his chest as she pressed her naked body against his.

James perked up as he felt her release him. He was so far underwater now, completely at the mercy of the lamia surrounding him. And yet, all he could feel was absolute faith. Fear was erased in this beautiful world.

Visseth and Lunissa circled each other, whispering something as they held hands, all smiles as they looked back to him. Beyond them was a tiny octopus, scuttling by on a collapsed pillar, changing its colors as a jet of bubbles suddenly erupted underneath.

The school of fish he saw at the surface now swam around him. All glinting every color of the rainbow as the sun reflected off of them. Brightly colored coral surrounded him as stone pillars led deeper into a cave underneath him, where light reflected off of the walls, leading deeper underground.

In all of his years, he had never gone scuba diving. Now here he was getting the chance of a lifetime with two lamia guiding him.

Visseth waved Lunissa over, motioning to go deeper into the caves. Lunissa nodded, turning to James, signing to cover his mouth. She looped a coil around him again, putting him on her tail as she glided down, holding him close as they descended deep into the crystaline caves.

James gripped tightly to her, holding his eyes shut as water rushed through his hair. Finally, he heard a splash, and cool air settled on his body. He instinctively inhaled, rubbing his eyes and looking up.

What little air he sucked in was immediately taken away as he saw the caverns.

Or rather, the ruins of something truly ancient.

Marble, pearl, emerald, garnets, all precious gemstones forged into unique statues, structures and halls that seemed forgotten to time. James stood in awe at the sheer magnitude of the structures.

Instinct took over as he tentatively walked out of the water, into the halls of this mysterious structure. Time had not been kind to it, despite its beauty. This place had been abandoned long, long ago.

“What…. what is this place?”

Lunissa shrugged as Visseth slithered out of the water, tailing behind James.

“We’re not sure…. Illessi is the only one that seemed to have a clue. She thinks…. it was a shrine dedicated to a goddess….. our goddess…..”

James shot a look back, as Visseth caressed the sleek marble in reverence. She pointed up the hall towards a delapidated statue, emeralds and rubies all shattered across the floor. Just behind the shattered stones, a large obsidian gateway stood pointing towards the cold wall.

“She thinks our kind came from another world. That we were nomads of a sort. And that our relations with the humans here wasn’t always…. strained.”

James nodded, still in reverie. “She mentioned something along those lines before to me. Something about humans and lamia…. not getting along that well. I still worry about that. I still want to do right by her. She seemed like…. she was really hurt by everything that happened to her and all of you.” James looked down, examining the floor. There were faint traces of murals drawn into the degraded ceramic.

He could swear there was something more here.

Visseth furrowed her brow, looking back to the walls. “She was always quite reclusive with our history. Even to some of us. That’s….. significant that she trusts you.”

“Well duh, her sister loves him! She’s a softy for family. Well, she’s a softy for every lamia in our tribe, but especially her sisters.” Lunissa chimed in, swishing her tail in the water. “But you know, it is a pretty big deal, come to think of it. Wonder what you did?”

“Wish I knew. Honestly, if you asked me just a few days ago, I wouldn’t have believed I should have had any of that trust. But now…. now I’m not so sure.” He paused, breathing in deeply as he shook his head. “But I take all of your trust very seriously. I’m glad I can be here with all of you. Beyond glad, really.”

“Aww~! He is such a cutie!” Lunissa giggled, cupping her face as her tail swished in the water behind her. “Well, you know, I think you should just keep doing what you’re doing. I mean, Selania seems to really really like you, and Illessi didn’t hold back some really personal stuff, so…. just keep it up!”

“Tch, well, you’re not wrong Lunissa. But still, you shouldn’t think about taking these things so seriously. You’re a part of the tribe now, and as far as I’m concerned, I couldn’t be happier! And I know a few others that could say the same.”

Visseth smirked, looking upwards back to where they came. A few distant splashes and grunts made her grin even wider.

“Although, good luck getting her to actually say so.”

James smirked for a moment, before touching the architecture, a solemn expression passing his face as he whispered to himself.

“I can’t help but wonder though…. what happened here….”

The quiet splashing echoed throughout the chamber as he sighed. More questions. More mystery.

“You know, Ses’nia is probably gonna need some help with the haul. C’mon James, let’s go be responsible…” Visseth sighed, her tail wrapping around James’ wrist, tugging gently.

“Yeah… you’re right…..” Begrudgingly turning his back, he followed behind, feeling a tinge of wistfulness as he left the monuments behind.

“It’s okay~! We can always come back here, if you want anyways. Me and Visseth love swimming here. And we gotta work on your lungs too.” Lunissa’s grin widened as her eyes glinted. “And I’d love to help you get your practice in.”

“Heh heh. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right.”

Smiling, he gripped onto Lunissa’s tail, slipping back into the cool water below. The monuments stood in cold silence, as the three returned back to where they came.

————————————————————————————————

“Sis? Where’d you go?” Selania slipped between branches as her eyes darted back and forth.

Just where did she go? She said be here at noon.

“Illessi!” She cupped her hands as she called out, but still no response.

“Huh. Well, guess I’ve got some time.” She stretched her back out, pressing her arms against her hips.

Squinting, she looked out towards the fields, for any sign of her sister. But…. wait.

Was that James…. what was it?

She leaned forward again, covering her eyes. There was definitely something out of the ordinary hanging off of a bush. By a strap.

And it was flashing something?

“Easy girl…. Easy. I just want to-“

“Easy girl…. Easy. I just want to-“

“James?” Selania cocked her head as she slithered closer. There was a tiny flashing picture that looked just like James. What was that?

It looked like…. the clearing where they first met. And was that a deer?

She looked closer at the picture. Wait… that can’t be right. Why would a deer have trailed so close to their home?

Reaching out, she pressed the screen as symbols appeared. Quickly recoiling, it played a different scene.

“-help me out of a jam.”

Selania’s tail stiffened up as her eyes narrowed.

“Jam? James how did you get in there?! How do I get you out?!”

She looked back and forth, for any sign of how he got trapped inside. No luck. He was stuck now, his arm mid air as he waved at the-

Wait a second. She squinted closer at the still frame.

That deer was…. not quite right. It looked like it’s eyes were…. slitted?

A snap of a twig caught Selania’s ears. She perked up, looking into the trees, as another snap came closer.

Her tongue flit out as a scent hit her. It was… familiar in a way, but nothing she could put her finger on.

Come to think of it, she did smell something else out there that night.

“James, hero to nature!” A familiar voice triumphantly sang out as a figure jumped out from behind the treeline.

It was James!

“Oh, hey! Wait, how did you get out from-” She paused…. wait none of this made sense.

“-from…. I thought you were with Iphresse? Where did she go?”

He stood there for a moment, his eyes scanning a bit as he waved.

“Next time you can get me out of a jam.” He said confidently, but this time…. a bit confused. His voice and demeanor didn’t quite match.

Selania flit her tongue out again. No, this isn’t right. That can’t be him.

“Who…. are you?”

“James, hero to nature and destroyer of weeds!” The figure spoke confidently again, posing just like the camera.

Selania kept her distance as she slipped around a bit. Her nerves were on edge as this creature imitated her mate.

“Listen… do you know where, uhm…. you are? You know, the other one?”

‘James’ cocked his head, looking back to the camera for a moment. Looking back to her, he cocked his head as he started to change.

His legs slid together as they elongated. Skin turned to scales as pink and white colors flashed down his now tail.

In moments, she was staring at herself.

“WAAUGH!” She waved her arms, a magical circle almost forming as she fell back onto herself.

“WAAUGH!” The doppel waved its arms around, flailing at nothing as it fell back exactly the same way.

Selania rolled back over, arms shaking a bit as she tried to keep her breathing steady. Weaving a blue circle, she whispered.

“Shesh’hust ma thesst.” She hissed as ethereal chains wove around her ‘twin’.

Much to the shapeshifters confusion. ‘Selania’ bucked and squirmed, trying to get free, trying to speak despite herself.

“Listen! Listen! Do you uhm, know where, uhm…. are?”

“Do I…. what? Just what are you? And how did you get here?”

Selania slipped her tail around her twin, keeping the spell alive, just in case she changed again. A small tinge of guilt hit her, though she couldn’t quite figure out why.

This was a completely new being after all. And it could know what happened to the real James and that mystery box. But…. James was new once too. Maybe this one was just lost?

The fake pointed to the camera, eyes pleading with her captor. Something about her just felt…. desperate in more ways than one.

Almost like she was trying to find James too.

“Wait…. you can’t speak like us can you?”

“Can’t speak like us…..” She looked back and forth, unsure of whether or not she was about to get hurt. She sighed, resigning herself as she slumped in Selania’s coils. “Easy girl…. easy….”

Selania cupped her mouth. She was…. scared. And she wanted to find the man who helped her.

“Yes…. Easy girl….” She released her spell as her hands lowered, gently reaching out to her twin. A spark of sheer awe crossed the doppleganger’s face as she looked down at her hand, trailing up to her eyes.

“Easy girl? Can’t speak like us?” She repeated, gently reaching her hand out to meet Selania’s.

“Yes…. You’re safe. It’s ok.”

“Safe…. it’s ok…” She whispered rapturously as a small tear began to form. Her fingers grazed across Selania’s, unsure of just what to do next.

“That’s ok…. it’s ok. Who are you?”

“It’s ok…. who are you?”

“Right….” Selania furrowed her brows, thinking of just how to communicate to this new creature. “…. I’m Selania.” She pointed to herself. Then pointing back to her, she showed her twin her own tail.

“You look just like me. But who are you?”

The creature cocked her head, looking back to her tail. A glint of inspiration hit as she looked back.

“I’m Selania!”

“Yes, yes, you are me right now!” Selania clapped her hands, smiling as she made the smallest amount of headway. “But, can you change to who you are?”

“Change to…. you are?” Her smile faded as she paused. Thinking for a few moments, her tail reformed to legs as she returned to James’ form.

“Change to, you are?” He spoke with uncertainty, but a bit more clarity now.

Selania paused. This creature was onto something. She could revert back over and over to her original!

“Yes! *Ahem* Could you change again?”

James smiled, transforming into a deer. They were getting closer!

She waved her hand, eager for her new friend to shift once more. The doppel proudly lifted its head as it shifted into a butterfly. It fluttered around Selania, gently grazing her hair and landing on her shoulder.

“Aha! Oh wow, that’s incredible!” Despite herself, she was getting more and more giddy at the display, forgetting for a moment about her original goal.

Soon, their body changed from a butterfly to a wolf. A wolf to a bee. A bee to a woma-

“Wait!” Selania waved her hands as the doppel froze, unsure of what to do. Her skin was a deep green tone, with vines rolling off of her arms.

“Who… is this?”

“This….” Her voice mimicked the pitch of Selania, betraying nothing more than her own confusion. “…This….”

“Mmm… that’s ok. Maybe this isn’t you. But it is certainly someone I’ve never seen before….. Where is…. this?”

“Where….Where!” Her eyes lit up as she pointed to the woods. Confidently, she posed just like James did, certain that she had the answer right. “Where!”

She was pointing towards the east, where Illessi usually patrolled. She never really went out that way.

Hey, two birds with one stone!

“Ok! Let’s go find…. you. Sound good?”

“Sound good? Sound good!”

—————————————————————————————

James splashed to the surface alongside Lunissa. Ses’nia had begun wrapping up her nets, loaded with colorful fish of all shapes and sizes. Crawling up the rocks, he lay back, heart pounding as he soaked in the afternoon sun.

“Ahhh…. wow…”

Visseth slid up to the surface, parting her hair as she breathed in deep. Lunissa slipped up behind Ses’nia, peeking over her shoulder as she worked.

“Oooh, big haul today, huh girl? Sas’lesth mu shishen”

Ses’nia grunted, a soft smile started to form at the corners of her mouth. Heaving the fish over her shoulders, she grunted as he tail flexed, heaving it onto her back. A few loose fish slipped out, flopping about as James leapt up, scrambling to catch them as they slipped in and out of his grasp.

“Woah! Hey, wait, just- Ah gotcha!” Smiling triumphantly, he held out his prize, as Visseth and Lunissa cackled with glee at his display.

“Hah, look Ses’nia, he’s already riding your tail! Better *giggle* look out, he’s gonna be our new ace!”

Ses’nia tried to stifle her laugh, barely holding it back as she waved her hand, turning back to the mountain side. “*Heheh* Lash veshvi sunshalsta. *Hahah*!”

“Psh, don’t think I could do that good. Give or take a few….. hundred maybe.”

Slipping his pants and shirt back on, he looked out across the fields. Breathing in again, he sighed, sitting back as he soaked in the view.

“But if it means I get to see this view every day….”

“Wellll~ maybe not every day, Jamesy.”

Lunissa yelped as Iphresse slid up from behind her, trailing her shoulder with her hand as she giggled.

“Thanks for watching him girls, but I’ll take him from here. We’ve got some unfinished business after all.”

“GAH! Where do you come from?! Every time!”

Iphresse’s mischievous grin grew as she sidled up to James, pulling him into her as she wrapped an arm around his shoulder.

“Sooo, ready to go repay that sweet, darling girl? Because….. I think she’s ready for you.”

“*Gulp* Hehh, well a promise is a promise.” James turned, nodding to the trio. “It was amazing up here. Hope you want my company again sometime!”

“Of course! See ya!”

“Can’t wait cutie!”

Ses’nia nodded, waving her hand as she shook her head, hiding her knowing smile. The other two dove back underwater, their tails trailing behind as they splashed and played together. James couldn’t help but chuckle as he turned. Iphresse waved him over as they left, the sun shining brighter as it began to set.

Beginning their descent down the hill, James soaked in the atmosphere, his muscles a bit sore and tense however. He rolled his shoulder, trying to get it to loosen up, to no real avail.

“So, did you enjoy? I took a bit of a gamble, but I know ol’ Ses’nia wouldn’t let you drown if it came down to it. She’s a softy most times. Most times.” She grumbled, shooting Ses’nia a look, before turning back. “Ahh well, let’s head back. I don’t think Lineysha can wait much longer now.”

“Wait, she was waiting on me? Why di-”

“Ah ah ah! I said I needed her comfortable. And she is! Well…. in a sense I guess. You’ll see soon enough~!”

“Tch, you and your plans. Speaking of which, they talked about you and Sashelle trying something with Ses’rin?”

Iphresse grinned, looking off to the woods. “Oh, we definitely tried. She’s so focused on work, she forgets to enjoy herself sometimes. Sooo~ I thought maybe she’d like a little help with that. Buuut, she was a bit more than we bargained for. Lessons learned.”

Iphresse laughed, her tail sliding James to her shoulder as she wrapped her arm around his neck.

“Maybe we just need a little more leverage next time?”

“Uh, have you seen her arms? She’d crush me like a twig without her tail.”

“Oh sweetie, you’re looking at this allll wrong. It’s not about overpowering her….” Her tone turned husky, as she ran her tail across his chin. “…..it’s about knowing what she wantsss.”

James shivered, feeling her breath on his ear.

“Hahaha~ oh but it’s so much fun to see you squirm! Poor Jamesy~ still not used to the attention.”

James rubbed his neck, laughing with her. But a tiny squeal caught him off guard. They were close to the village now, and he could definitely hear something.

“Oh? Looks like Lineysha’s got a bit of an audience. Aww, poor girl can’t hold herself back much longer.”

James furrowed his brows, seeing the group of lamia now, all gathered around a large hut, all trying to sneak peeks inside. Another yip, and the girls all giggled to each other.

“Well James, this looks like your stop. Do remember why you’re here sweetie. She deserves to be rewarded for being a good girl today. Hahahah!”

The girls in front turned, seeing James approach, Iphresse standing proud behind him.

“Here he is girls! Found him!”

“Found me? You-”

Iphresse wrapped her tail around his mouth, waving her arms.

“*Ahem* A-nyways, found him up on the hillsides. Would you all be so kind as to let him help that poor girl in there? He says he wants to help.”

The lamia nodded, whispering to each other as one even opened the door. James swallowed, nodding as he waved, walking up to the hut.

Why did it feel like he was about to get on a stage?

“Oh and Jamesy? Take this as an opportunity to take a little control back. Show em what you’ve got~!”

Show em what I got? Wha-

James walked into the hut, seeing just what awaited him.

Coils. Coils everywhere. Yellow coils wrapped tightly around a red and black tail, as they writhed and undulated, trailing deeper inside. He could hear much more than yips and squeals now. There was another voice, whispering pure love as ragged breathing and moaning echoed in the house.

Every time the tail squeezed, he heard another squeal.

“*Gulp* uh, hello?”

The whispering stopped. The ragged breathing only became more pleading as he could swear he heard someone whisper almost by accident.

“I-is that…”

That voice…. that was the girl in the fields.

The yellow tail slowly crept around, feeling on the floor, tapping closer and closer. James looked at it quizzically, watching her coil sweep a bit, back and forth. Finally, it tapped his foot, feeling him for a few seconds. Gently wrapping around his ankle, it tugged towards a seperate room.

“*Ahem* alright. I came here to, uh, reward you?”

He heard her breath in sharply as the other voice cooed, calming her a bit as the red and black tail flexed and tensed.

James cocked his head, following the yellow tails gentle tugging. Trying his best to tip toe around the coils, he reached the seperate room, looking inside.

The yellow lamia…. that was Sashelle. And that was definitely the girl from the field.

Iphresse definitely wasn’t wrong about comfortable.

Sashelle’s tail was looped perfectly around her eyes, sliding between her chest and hips, tying her tail down so tightly she couldn’t possibly move. Her hands were constantly massaging her back and sides, making her shiver and moan as she tried to reach back and feel Sashelle’s sides, only for her to tighten her tail again, making her squeal.

Sashelle’s tail mercilessly played with her clit, which was dripping wet. Every stroke was perfectly planned, sensing her getting close and slowing, just before she reached her climax. Sashelle’s warm cooes and whispers made the poor girl pant and quiver, trying to desperately to move, unable to think.

Oh god, is that what I look like when….that’s….kinda hot….how long have they been doing this?

Sashelle looked up, reaching her hand out as her tail slowly unwound from Lineysha’s head. Her face was completely flushed red, as she slowly opened her eyes.

“*Aaah* Mmm, it’s, it’s you!”

Sashelle pressed her chest against Lineysha’s back, slowly kneading her shoulders, forcing her eyes shut again as she squeaked. Her face turned beat red in embarrassment.

“Heh, uhm. Yeah, it’s me.” James whispered under his breath.

He knew what he was expected to do. But just…. how?

How would he reward her?

His eyes trailed down to Sashelle’s tail, which was now speeding up a bit. Lineysha’s pants grew as she tried to arc her back into it, trying to hump her tail as she strained.

James eyes lingered, as he licked his lips.

He took a step closer, leaning down as Sashelle watched him, her tail slowing as it curled out, dripping with Lineysha’s slick wetness. Her tail curled inwards, beckoning James to come closer and see.

“Sshona, Lineysha….” Sashelle whispered in her ears as James kneeled now. His heart was pounding in his chest. He had control now. The sweet smell of her sex filled the room, begging him to taste.

James eyes narrowed, as he pressed his face closer. Breathing softly, he lolled his tongue out, starting at the base of her clit, and ever so gently rolling his tongue up.

The effect was instant.

“*AAAAH!* Aaah! Nnngh!” Lineysha’s eyes shot open as she felt his tongue start to explore her. Her tail flexed, trying desperately to do anything, but was quickly bound again by Sashelle. Her hips strained, far more powerfully now as she tried to bury James’ face into her depths.

Her taste was spicy, as her wetness practically dripped off of her. James moaned deeply, slowly starting again, his tongue sliding between her lips, rolling across her clit as he slipped back down. Back up…. back down….

James grinned, feeling her practically erupt from a simple touch. This was…. this was good.

“Mmm, you’re so sensitive… W-would you like some more?”

Lineysha, shivering with need, nodded, her voice squeaking as she whispered.

“P-please….”

Oh god yes.

James lowered his head again, pressing his face against her as his tongue slid across her pussy now. Lapping at her as he rolled across her clit, paying close attention to just where he licked. His hands slid around her tail, caressing her as her muscles quivered at his lightest graze.

Sashelle followed James’ lead, letting her hands trail down her sides, her fingernails slightly scratching as they rose back up. James’ tongue explored her now, trailing a bit higher and deeper. Pulling back, he heard her mewl in disappointment, her eyes glossy as she stared at him, biting her lip.

“Do…. do you want me to….”

Sashelle giggled, her tail wrapping around his hips, pointing at the tent in his pants. Lineysha’s eyes widened for a moment, before she turned her head, trying to hide her blush.

James instinctively reached his hand up, catching her chin, as she let out a shivery breath, letting him guide her head as she panted now, tears forming in her eyes as she tried to lean in.

“Y-yesss….”

Sashelle’s tail quickly unzipped his pants, letting them fall to the floor as James yipped in surprise. Both he and Lineysha looked down, seeing his cock spring out.

“*Gasp*…..i-it’s…” Lineysha couldn’t look away. She was completely enthralled by him, her embarrassment gone.

James, swallowing as he lowered his hand, stroked as he inched closer.

“Do you….want your reward?”

“Yessss! Please!!” Her voice cracked as she her panting mixed with a hiss, pushing herself out, unable to wait any longer.

James took her chin again, raising her gaze away from his cock, and up to his eyes. Tilting her chin up, he closed his eyes, pressing his lips into hers as she melted in his grip. She eagerly kissed him back, moaning into his mouth as she tried to uselessly free her arms to pull him closer.

His cock slid against her entrance and she couldn’t hold back her squeal. She pulled back for a second, before James pulled her back into a passionate kiss, slipping his cock into her.
