Chapter 13

The well guarded caravan entered the town of Harmeer a day later than planned. It was just past noon as the wagons rolled through the wooden gates of the town. Harmeer's main business was serving travelers on the road to Rebondao, so they had plenty of space to park the wagons, as well as a selection of lodging, food, drink, and entertainment for the weary travelers. Aneirin, the caravan leader, took stock of their situation. He had made it this far without losing any valuable cargo or any people, and Aneirin was grateful to the gods for that. Even if they had not gotten attacked and lost a day's worth of travel, the plan was always for an extended stay at this waypoint.

“Alright everyone, here’s the plan. I’m going to unload some of the common trade goods I’ve brought along to resupply the caravan before we make for the Kildare Plains. We’ll probably be in town for at least two days, so enjoy it. It’ll be weeks before we see so much as a shepherd's hut on the next leg of the journey.”

“We should do some restocking of our own.” Venxia said to Lukas after they had parked the cart and tended to Finbar.

“Yes, we should. Like Aneirin said, there won’t be much between here and Kline’s Gate on the other side of the plains. Also, I want a farrier to inspect Finbar’s hooves and shoes before we set off on the next leg of the journey.” The draft horse let out a soft nicker.

“I think I saw an herbalist shop on the way in. I’ll go there while you talk to a farrier, there are a few herbs I’m looking for.”

“For seasoning or for spells?” Lukas asked as he hooked on Finbar’s lead.

“Both, actually.” She smiled. “After that, we’ll find some food and drink.”

Lukas glanced around at the various establishments and chuckled. “That won’t be hard in this kind of town.”

Venxia laughed before she headed off to the herbalist shop. The town was bustling with activity and the energy of it all made Venxia smile after all the time spent on the road. Her nose was flooded with the sweet and spicy scent of herbs as she opened the door to the shop.

“Hello traveler!” An older woman greeted her with a warm smile. “Welcome to my shop, my name is Jolina. How can I help you?”

“I’m looking for a few herbs, some for cooking, some for other reasons.”

“Other reasons? Magical, medicinal, or ,ahem, personal?” Jolina’s bright eyes twinkled as she smiled.

“I need little help with the last one.” Venxia smirked back.

The old woman laughed. “Neither did I, the other women just assumed it was my potions and teas.” She stepped out from behind the counter. What are you looking for then?”

“First of all, we ran out of dried parsley over a week ago and-”

Venxia was interrupted when the door to the shop slammed open and a very angry young man entered the shop.

“Jolina! You old hag!” He held up a small potion bottle and shook it angrily at her. “This potion you sold me was worthless!”

“Calm down, Rolf, I’m with another customer.”

“I don’t care about one of those caravan tramps! This love potion didn’t work at all!”

Jolina rolled her eyes. “I told you when you bought it, it’s not a love potion, it’s an aphrodisiac, and a potent one at that. It will put any man or woman in the mood, but it won’t make them like you, let alone fall in love.” She shook her head, “I explained all this when I sold it to you two days ago.”

“Bullshit! She should have been so full of lust she should have jumped me last night. Instead, Ina just sputtered out something about having to see Yasmina and she ran out of the bar and back to her place.”

“Gods…did you actually give some to Ina?”

“Yes! Why? I thought you said it worked on men and women.”

Jolina stared at the young man like he just said the sun was purple. “You don’t get it, do you? Ina doesn’t like men! Yasmina is her lover. Everyone in town knows this!”

“But the potion…”

“Worked as intended.” Jolina crossed her arms as she stared down Rolf. “I suppose Yasmina owes you some thanks for a good night.”

Rolf’s face was flushed red with anger and he threw the potion bottle at Jolina. His aim was wild, however, and it instead shattered against Venxia’s chest. Both women glared at him as the realization of what he just did hit. Jolina reached for her walking stick and chased Rolf out of the store with a few wacks along the way. Venxia looked down at her bodice. The leather had protected her skin from any glass shards, but the contents had seeped through to her skin. The vapors coming off of the spill were filling her head with a strong heavy scent, enough to make Venxia feel a little light headed. She would have swooned if Jolina hadn’t dosed her with a bucket of water.

“Sorry dear, I had to do it. Gods, what a mess, it’s only meant to be taken a few drops at a time.”

“Venxia?” Lukas called out as he entered the shop. He stopped in his tracks when he saw her standing there soaked. “Gods, what happened? I came running when I saw her,” he pointed to Jolina, “chase a man out of here. Did he do this?”

“No it was…” As Venxia looked over at Lukas she could feel her heart start to beat and a warm sensation in between her legs and starting to spread. “Mmm, don’t worry about it, I can always just take off my clothes…” She giggled and started to pull at her bodice before shaking herself out of it. “How strong was that potion?”

“The strongest I make.” Jolina sighed, “At least I washed the rest off before it got any worse.” She turned to Lukas, “She’s been exposed to a strong aphrodisiac, and far more than a normal dose.”

Lukas looked over and his eyes went wide. One of Venxia’s eyes had shifted to a bright golden color and her tongue was far too long as she licked her lips.

“What can we do, is there anything we can give her too, ah, calm her down?”

“I never had need to mix up a potion to make a bed cold, and right now a dip in the river in the middle of winter wouldn’t cool her off any. I’m afraid you have two choices, either wait it out until it’s out of her system or, ahem, burn off the energy.”

Venxia sauntered over to Lukas, before leaning over and whispering into his ear. “Come on, let’s just get out of here…” Her long tongue teased his ear.”

Lukas sighed, but reached into his pouch for a few coins. “Do you have any, um…”

“Stamina potions?” Jolina hurried back to the counter and pulled out a small tray filled with them.

Lukas pulled one out and dropped a few coins on the counter. “Wait, take two, don’t worry about the money, just try and take care of her.” As Lukas hurried out with Venxia clinging to his side Jolina called after them. “Stop back and see me in the morning!”

As they moved through the crowded streets, Lukas was getting worried. Venxia was having a hard time maintaining her human looking form. Her eyes kept changing color between blue, brown and gold. Her ears kept shifting between round and pointed, though thankfully her hair helped to hide that. Lukas could feel her nails shifting into talons that made him wince as she held on tightly.

All of this was paired with her increasing need. When Lukas paused for a moment trying to pick an inn, she started to grind against his body and moan softly.

“Ok, no time, we’re going here.” Lukas said as he pulled Venxia into the closest inn.

There were a few people in the common room, but given the time of day, it was mostly empty.

“Just wait here for me.” he practically peeled Venxia off his body and placed her on a stool in a corner. He then rushed to find the innkeeper.

Venxia whimpered, instantly missing the contact with Lukas. Her hands started to move with a mind of their own, running over her wet clothes and stimulating all the skin underneath.

“Excuse me!” Lukas almost shouted to get some attention.

“Whoa there, calm down boy, what can I help you with?”

“My partner is, ah, not feeling herself. We need a room for the night, and some food we can bring up for later.”

“Rough trip?”The Innkeeper asked as he dried his hands on a towel.

Lukas glanced over his shoulder as Venxia rubbed her chest through her bodice. “You could say that.”

The Innkeeper shook his head slightly. “Go and put her up in room number five, I’ll put together something for you in the meantime.”

“Thank you, sir.”

Lukas rushed back to Venxia. She was just about to slip a hand into her pants and he quickly pulled her up off the stool.

“Wait a moment, at least until you’re in the room!” He whispered harshly into a now fin-like ear.

“But I’m so hot…just a little rub, no one will notice…”

“That’s not what I’m worried about them noticing really…” Lukas whispered as he saw her tail starting to poke out from the waist of her leggings.

Shielding her body as best as he could from the few people in the room, he got her up the stairs and into the room. Venxia started to madly kiss Lukas before they were even completely past the doorway.

“Just give me a second, I’ll be right back.” Lukas said as she tried to push her away.

“No, stay…” A red horn was peeking out from under Venxia’s hair now.

“Just a second, I need to pay for the room!” Lukas managed to break away and slam the door shut as he left.

Venxia pouted, but wasted no time in pulling off her clothes. Her hands ran over her chest as her lipples kissed her fingertips. Venxia got her leggings down to her knees before she couldn’t hold back any more. Her hand rubbed and teased her moist slit. Venxia laid back on the bed spreading her legs as best she could with her leggings now around her ankles. Her fingers alone weren’t enough stimulation and soon her tail joined them, her long red tail grinding along her length as she fingered and teased her clit.

All semblance of control slipped away as the aphrodisiac messed with her abilities as much as her libido. Venxia’s arms split in two, forming into an extra pair. With a free set of hands she caressed and rubbed her breasts, further teasing her lipples. A second pair of breasts grew on Venxia’s chest, but they didn’t last long and her extra hands seemed to push them back into her body. Seemingly in response her full breasts grew even larger. Half of her red hair shifted into green tentacles that laid limply on the bed. Venxia managed to kick off her leggings as she continued to masturbate, but it was barely scratching the itch. She needed Lukas.

Outside the bedroom, Lukas hurried up the steps. He had a basket full of food and a pitcher of ale. He knew if he didn’t get any food before they started that it would be a long time until breakfast. He winced slightly as he reached for the door handle, hearing Venxia’s moans coming through the door.

Oh shit! I didn’t ward the room first! Not that I had the time anyway. I just hope we’re not too loud.

Lukas carefully opened the door. Immediately Venxia lifted up her head and turned to him, though she didn’t pause her masturbating.

“Lukas! Get over here!” She half yelled, half begged.

‘Just let me put this-” Lukas barely had time to place the food on a table before several tentacles whipped out across the room and started to pull him to the bed. Lukas fumbled for a stamina potion as Venxia roughly pulled off his clothing with her tentacles and her four arms once he was close enough. Lukas just managed to down one of the potions before Venxia grabbed his head and pulled him into a deep desperate kiss.

That was all the foreplay Lukas was going to get. Thankfully his own body quickly responded to Venxia, his cock growing hard as he was pulled down on top of her on the bed. Her tongue expertly danced with his own, teasing and flicking inside his mouth. Meanwhile her tails wrapped around Lukas’ shaft and guided it into her wet and needy sex. Venxia wrapped one pair of arms around his back and pulled Lukas tight against her chest, where her lipples began to kiss and tease his nipples. The other pair of hands squeezed his ass hard. Lukas wasted no time in moving. She broke their kiss, but her lips stayed close to his as they panted for air.

“Don’t hold back! I need this!” She moaned against his lips

Venxia’s claw-like nails dug into Lukas’ cheeks, to make her request crystal clear. He responded with a gasp followed by slamming his hips down into her. Lukas wasn’t sure if the potion was kicking in, or it was just his own excitement, but either way the bed was creaking loudly with every one of his thrusts.

“More! Make it bigger” Venxia cried as the half head of tentacles touched and caressed the side of his face.

Lukas only responded with a grunt, but he focused on the magic of his earring. With each thrust into Venxia his shaft grew longer and thicker. Lukas wasn’t in the right space to be creative, so he went to his reliable stand by, a large equine cock. Venxia stretched around the swelling shaft, moaning louder as the medial ring formed and a heavy pair of dark balls slapped against her. She squirmed and squeezed Lukas with all four of her arms, the sensation of the cock changing inside her body adding to her excitement. Lukas responded by letting it grow larger than usual and ramming it rough and deep into his partner.

What happened next took Lukas by surprise. At one moment he was slamming hard into Venxia and the next thing he knew he was on his back on the bed with Venxia straddling him. She looked down at him with a manic stare, only amplified by having one golden eye while the other was a deep purple.

“More…I need more!” Venxia moaned as she rode the flesh pillar. “One isn’t enough…” She reached around with one pair of hands and spread her cheeks while the other pair pinned Lukas down on the bed. “Make another one for me…”

It was more of an order than a request, but Lukas would have complied either way. Between the base of his shaft and heavy sack, a new appendage started to grow. It was smaller than the one Venxia was currently impaled on, but no less equine in shape. The flared head was soon pushing up against Venxia’s rear. Once again she employed her tails to guide the second member into her body. Lukas flinched slightly at the cry she let out as she was doubly penetrated; he wouldn't be surprised if it was heard outside in the street.

Venxia rode the twin shafts with complete abandon. It was as if her limits were removed by the potion, allowing her to feel a level of ecstasy she had never reached before. Although Venxia wasn’t done, her legs were and she rolled back onto her back, making sure Lukas didn’t slip out. She pulled Lukas down for another deep kiss. This time she showed even less restraint with her tongue. Venxia deepthroated her lover with her long flexible tongue, as he tried to not to pass out from the now restricted airflow.

Lukas slid his hands over her breasts, kneading the soft flesh and teasing the lipples. Suddenly the lipples opened wide and swallowed Lukas’ hands up past his wrists. He tried to cry out, but was muffled by Venxia’s tongue. Still gripped tightly by his lover’s four arms, Lukas continued as inside her breasts his fingers were teased by long serpentine tongues.

Further down he could feel Venxia’s vaginal tongue flicking across the wide flat head of his cock. Even with knowing what was coming, Lukas’ body still jerked and went stiff mid thirst as the tongue pushed its way inside his urethra. Between all the tongues, even with a stamina potion he was reaching his limits. Lukas could only hope Venxia was feeling the same.

Venxia’s back arched off the bed as her claws and nails dug into Lukas. Both her passages clamped down on him, almost painfully. Lukas joined her as a torrent of seed was pumped into her body, filling her up and leaking out around his two shafts. Venxia squeezed Lukas so tight that the little breath he had was squeezed out. Her entire body quivered and quaked with her climax. Venxia pulled back her tongue with a long low moan. Lukas was left gasping and coughing. Slowly her grip lessened and Lukas was able to extract his hands from her breasts. With a long groan he pulled his oversized equine cocks out of Venxia before rolling over off to the side.

Lukas’ cocks were flagging, but he didn’t have the mental strength to alter their size or number. He was still catching his breath when he felt Venxia moving and shifting next to him. Her skin was now a deep lustrous purple that almost seemed to glow in the dim room. Venxia’s red on black eyes did glow slightly as they locked with Lukas. From out of her tar-black hair a small pair of red horns poked out. A long red spade-tipped tail slowly swayed from side to side as a small pair of bat wings flitted on her back. Venxia easily climbed on top of Lukas and she smiled seductively with coal-black lips showing off pointed teeth. Lukas recognized the form as a succubus she had shifted into during her last performance as Lady V.

“More…” She whispered before pressing her lips against Lukas.

***

Even though he had slept on a good mattress, Lukas felt like he had camped out on the stone floor of a dungeon. He felt equal parts tired, hungry and sore after the previous night. Two stamina potions in one night certainly weren't helping things either. Lukas groaned as he retrieved his scattered clothing and slowly got dressed. Venxia, on the other hand, woke up feeling refreshed and revitalized. She had slept in, but would have done so anyway with their extended stay in Harmeer. She did feel more than a little empathy for her partner.

“Don’t worry, we’ll take things easy today,” Venxia said as she finished shifting her hair to her liking in the small mirror over the wash basin.

“Mmmm.” Lukas finished pulling on his boot. “There’s still a lot we should do in town before we leave for the plains.”

“I know, just leave it to me while you recover. Another good night's rest in an actual bed and you’ll be fine, I’m sure.”

“I hope so.” With another grunt he stood up from the edge of the bed. “Just don’t expect much tonight from me in bed other than snoring.”

“We could always get a few more stamina potions…I’m kidding!!” She said quickly seeing the look he was giving.

Lukas rolled his eyes. “I need breakfast. A lot of breakfast.”

Venxia chuckled but said nothing as they left the room for the common area. Lukas recognized quite a few faces from the caravan. Apparently they had ended up at this inn after Lukas and Venxia had retired to their room. Seeing the looks they were giving them, Lukas had little doubt they had been overheard last evening. Venxia seemed to be taking it all in stride as they sat down at an empty table.

“Let’s start you off with some tea and toast and go from there.” She said after sitting down.

Not long after the first course was delivered, Lukas saw Rechiar approaching with a big smirk on his face, followed closely behind by Liuva, who wore a more concerned expression.

“I guess I lost that bet with Noé, you did make it down before lunch.” Rechiar laughed as they joined Lukas and Venxia at their table.

Lukas just sighed as he spread jam on a thick piece of toast.

“Lukas, are you feeling well?” Liuva looked legitimately concerned. “In my professional opinion, you look like hell.”

“I’ll be fine, I just need some rest.” He replied before taking a huge bite out of the toast.

“And that’s one of the reasons we’re staying in town for a couple of days, right?” Venxia asked as she poured tea into a mug for Lukas.

“I’m surprised you aren’t in the same state as Lukas after all that commotion we heard coming from your room.” Liuva gave her a pointed look.

“Oh, right.” Venxia wore a slightly embarrassed smile. “I can explain…”

“Some people,” Rechiar interrupted her, “were wondering if you were some kind of werecreature in heat given the growls and cries. Others were certain you are some kind of succubus. And look at Lukas, he looks like he’s had his essence drained, doesn’t he?”

Venxia went a little pale. She had realized after waking up that the room hadn’t been warded, but assumed plenty of others staying the night would be rattling their beds too and maybe no one would notice.

In a flash, the cleric’s hand struck the back of Rechiar’s head. “Every day I pray that The Light will illuminate your empty skull.” Liuva said while shaking her head. “There is no need to get upset, Venxia, especially when we already know what happened.”

“You do?” Venxia wasn’t exactly relieved.

Liuva nodded. “I stopped by the local shrine first, and afterwards I made my way to the herbalist to restock my healing herbs. I came across the owner cleaning up a mess. I inquired what had happened and she told me about a dissatisfied customer and how they threw a potion and hit another customer. Concerned as a healer, I asked if they were alright and she explained the situation further. The shop keeper didn’t mention any names, but a redhead mage and her blond boyfriend were enough details to tell me who this had happened to.”

“And here I thought it sounded like you were in for a good night, but looking at Lukas this morning, I’ll definitely stay away from those kinds of potions.” Rechiar chuckled.

“Keep it up and I'll hit you a lot harder than Liuva.” Lukas said before sipping his tea.

Venxia was slightly relieved that there was no suspicion of her powers from the cleric, only concern for their health following a wild night. “I’m sorry to have you worried, and for any, ah, embarrassment.”

“I’m not from a celibate order, I understand having a good time.” Lukas almost choked on his tea hearing that, which drew a slight slime form the cleric, and a huge grin from Rechiar. “I also appreciate the warding spells you two must have been using on our trip, and I think the rest of the caravan does now as well.”

“Yeah, sorry about that, I didn’t get much of a chance to do anything before, you know.” Lukas shrugged before finishing his tea.

“If you want, I can help explain what happened, maybe say it was more of an allergic reaction to the spilled potion.”

“Yeah, sure, let’s go with that.” Venxia said with a nod.

“Aneirin still plans to leave tomorrow at dawn, so you two should just take it easy and have an early night.”

“That's my plan,” Lukas sighed, “but first I need some more food.”

***

After eating a feast for breakfast, Lukas wanted to walk around town for a bit to loosen up his joints and muscles. Venxia kept the pace slow as they meandered from shop to shop. Eventually they ended up back at the herbalist’s shop.

Jolina hurried from behind the counter to check on them both. “Oh dear, how are you feeling?”

“A little better since eating breakfast.” Lukas managed a smile. “Your potions got me through the night though, and I’m grateful. Besides, it wasn’t all bad.”

Jolina chuckled. “And you dear, I’m surprised you’re not in a similar state.”

“Just lucky, but then again I usually don’t get hungover.”

“Speaking of which, maybe a hangover remedy would help your friend.”

“It probably wouldn’t hurt. Also, I do need those herbs I originally came in for.”

“Oh, of course. Do you have a list?”

“It’s not on the list, but I think I’ll take a few of your stamina potions, just in case.” Lukas smiled. “You never know what you’ll run into out there.”

***

After they were done shopping, Venxia brought them to a bath house she had heard people talking about during breakfast. Magic kept them clean, but there was no replacement for a nice hot bath, and only more so with a tired and sore body. For a few silver coins Venxia was able to get a semi-private room with a small wooden tub just big enough for the two of them. She stayed in her human appearing form, however, as they were far from the only travelers there to wash and relax.

Lukas sighed as he leaned forward in the tub of hot soapy water. Venxia was behind him, scrubbing his back slowly with a sponge. The air was heavy with incense and it was almost too much for Lukas to stay awake as his body relaxed.

“You don’t have to…”

“Yes, I do, or more importantly, I want to.” Venxia leaned forward and kissed the back of his neck. “I know it wasn’t my fault that jerk hit me with that aphrodisiac, but it still meant you weren't able to have a good night.”

Lukas laughed. “What makes you think it wasn’t a good night for me? It was an amazing night of raw powerful sex with the woman I love. The day after, that’s what’s rough. Though I’m feeling much better now.”

Venxia smiled and shook her head slightly. “I don’t remember all the specifics, I was really out of it once the lust took hold. But I do remember enjoying myself.” She wrapped her arms around Lukas and pulled him in tightly.

Lukas sighed and relaxed in her embrace. “It wasn’t planned for, but it wasn’t a bad experience. Maybe with enough planning and preparation we could try it again someday.”

“Perhaps with less than an entire bottle of aphrodisiac.” Venxia sighed and leaned back, looking up at the rafters of the bath house. “I’m just relieved that no one noticed me losing control. I can deal with the embarrassment of being overheard but if people found out…”

Lukas reached back and gently touched her cheek. “You don’t have to say it. I know there's still a lot we have to figure out about this, but really, It’s a part of you, and I love it.”

Venxia leaned into his hand. “Really?”

“It’s not just about the wild sex, though that is great, I love watching you take on the forms and change what’s on the outside while the same heart and soul beats inside of you.”

Venxia held Lukas tightly as a few tears leaked out of her eyes.

***

The farrier had trimmed and reshod Finbar’s hooves and Lukas had paid a local boy a few coppers to fully wash and groom the draft horse. Lukas could swear the horse was holding his head higher as they walked him through Harmeer, like Finbar was showing off his fresh shining coat.

“Look at him, Finbar looks like he's ready for a joust rather than the road.” Venxia smirked.

“He deserved a little pampering.” Lukas patted his side.

Lukas didn’t even need the lead, Finbar knew the way to the cart. Lukas quickly got the horse hitched up while Venxia did a final check on their supplies. Aneirin stopped by as he got the caravan ready to head out.

“Lukas, you’re looking a lot better this morning.”

“Feeling better too. We’re all rested and ready for the road.”

“Good, this next leg is going to be rough. We’re lucky you spotted that ambush, or we’d be in far rougher shape than a few days behind. It can get pretty lawless out on the Kildare Plains, so keep a sharp eye out.”

Lukas nodded. “You know I will.”

“If we want to make it out of town by sunrise, we better get moving.” Venxia said as she climbed up into the cart.

“I know, I know.” Aneirin looked down at his checklist and continued with checking on the rest of the caravan.

“Ready to see the Kildare Plains?” Lukas asked as he climbed up next to his partner.

“I feel like I’m ready for anything, as long as I have you.” She leaned in against Lukas.
