#8 of From Killer to Lover

Tacitus hears of a wonderful place to take some time off from assassin work, but winds up falling into the hands of a pair of skilled seductresses with a bit of a twist.


"The most relaxing trip you'll ever take, hands down." That was what Tacitus had been told about the hot springs on the Eastern coast of Farlan. One of the other assassins had taken a month's rest from wet work and discovered a so-called "natural paradise" just by the coast line. The springs were said to have healing properties that reduced scarring and aging, along with rejuvenating both the mind and soul.

Of course, Taci didn't believe any of the mystical nonsense the other man had spoken of, but the thought of a hot bath away from the Hollow was appealing. He'd done three consecutive jobs with as little as a few scrubbings here and there. He didn't exactly stink, but he sure wasn't a field of summer flowers. Needless to say, he opted to go check the springs.

It was six hours by cart, which was a bit of an expensive trip, but he'd made more than enough blood money to cover the cost. A little self-indulgence wouldn't kill him. He never spent his money on anything but food, books and travel provisions anyway.

A short trip into the woods outside of a small fishing town brought him to the springs. How anyone could have missed it was beyond his comprehension, as it was literally ten minutes away from civilization. Ever the cautious type, Tacitus stuck a toe in the water to check and make sure it wasn't going to dissolve his fur... or worse. It was hot, of course, but seemed fine otherwise.

"Hell with it." he said, unclasping his cloak and letting it drop onto the stone surrounding the pool. His shirt, pants and armor joined it a moment later. He kept his daggers close to the edge, just in case.

Steam rose up around him as he slipped into the water. The assassin let out a deep sigh of relief, and he could swear he could already feel some of the tension leaving his tired muscles. Whether or not it had miraculous healing powers, he still couldn't say... but the hot water was a welcome feeling indeed.

Tacitus took a moment to adjust to the water's temperature, observing the calm, quiet scenery that framed the springs. He'd been expecting a little pool in the ground, wide enough for maybe three people. In actuality, the springs were quite large, making a nice, wide clearing in the forest where they broke the tree line. This fact begged the question once again: Why was this place so vacant? Were people just that busy, that they didn't have time for a bath? Did they have some odd scheduled public bathing time or something? Or were they just really modest? It mattered little, of course, and Taci didn't mind having the place to himself. More quiet time to just let his mind wander.

"How long has it been since I really had time to myself?"

Tacitus rarely interacted with the other assassins, but his friend Lore was almost always in his room with him, bugging him and chatting him up about random things. He'd taken it upon himself to teach the girl how to read-- a full time job, he'd found out. Teaching children was one thing. An energetic adult gecko who bounced off the walls after five minutes in the sun was... difficult. This didn't leave him much personal time.

The fox chuckled a bit, "Lore... I'm surprised she didn't follow me here. Gods know it's all she ever does." he sank deeper into the water until just his head was above the surface. He might have put on a grumpy front in Lore's presence, but he did care about her. She was the only real friend he had.

Something splashing in the water made him jump. He grabbed for his daggers and stood, holding one of the blades high, ready to stab into the water, "Someone there?"

It hadn't been a particularly loud splash. More like something had surfaced, then submerged again. Like a fish, almost... except there weren't any fish in the spring.

"Come on out." the fox said, slowly moving through the water. He kept his dagger primed, ready to strike, his eyes glued to the surface of the water. Nothing moved. Only the sound of his own slow movement through the spring made a sound. He made his way back to his corner, eyes darting back and forth, watching and listening for anything that might pose a threat.

Tacitus just about jumped out of his skin when his backward movement led him into another body. His fur stood on end, heart pounded in his chest, and he spun around quickly to face whoever it was that had managed to sneak up on him.

"Wait!" it was a girl's voice. A young woman, to be exact. She was a human or humanoid with dark hair and very blue eyes. She'd taken hold of Taci's arm, her fingers shaking a little bit. Apparently he'd scared her just as much as she'd done to him.

"The hell are you doing, sneaking around?" the fox lowered his weapon, but didn't release his grip on it. The very first thing he'd learned as an assassin was that killers had no gender. She could have still been plotting to murder him.

The woman looked down at the water for a moment, staring at... well, Tacitus tried not to think of what she might be staring at. A smile crossed her lips as she looked back up to him, "We were curious."

"We?"

Taci became aware of another presence behind him, and he tightened the grip on his dagger.

"No, no." another female voice whispered to him, "We're not here to hurt you. Land-dwellers rarely come here. We were wondering what was different about you."

Land-dwellers? Were they pirates or sailors of some sort? He didn't relax, eyeing the female in front of him and trying to move out from between the two, "I'm not from around here."

"That explains it." the first one said, giggling softly and taking one of the fox's arms in her hands. The other arm was gently captured by the second female. "Please, don't be angry. We're not here to hurt anyone."

"If you're not, then let go of me." Taci's voice was stern, but cautious. He still wasn't sure what either of them wanted from him. Still, a better question found its way into his mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "If... you aren't 'land-dwellers', then what are you?"

"Sit down and we'll show you." the one to his right urged, "You won't be disappointed!"

Taci was led back to his corner, sitting down and sheathing his daggers again. The two looked to be completely naked above the waist, and unless they were planning on drawing weapons right in front of him-- which would be suicidal-- they seemed pretty harmless. He gave a little wave of his fingers to signal that he was ready, "Ok... show me."

One woman looked at the other, giggling softly as they sank down into the water. Two beautiful finned tails quickly popped out in place of their humanoid forms, one green and one blue, waving about in the air and then splashing down again, hitting the fox with a shower of water droplets. They surfaced again, the green-tailed woman gliding up to him and raising herself up enough so that he could see where scales met skin, "Well?"

"Merfolk..." Taci shook his head, an amused smile crossing his lips, "To be perfectly honest, I've never met one of your kind."

The blue-scaled one joined her friend after a moment, floating in front of the fox and reaching out to poke his nose, "Oh I'm sure you have. You just didn't know it!"

"Didn't know? I think the scaly tail might give it away."

"Well, how do you think we got out here from the ocean? You don't get too far on land, flipping on fins!"

The fox leaned back, watching them for a moment before just taking a guess, "So you... give yourself feet or something?"

"Right you are!" the mermaids slipped in on either side of him, getting uncomfortably close for his taste. One asked, "So, what's your name?"

"It's... Tacitus." he tried to keep the redness in his cheeks down. Even with Lore constantly attached to him back home, he was still a little shy around women. "And yours?"

The one on his left-- blue tail-- spoke up first, "Cassandra."

"Mina." the green-finned one said in turn, a hand brushing over Taci's wet fur, "Most people avoid this spring. It's been the mer people's bathing ground for years."

"Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude." he tried to shift away from her touch, but moving left only pushed him closer to the other woman, "I was just told that it was a great place to have a hot bath."

"Well you were told correctly!" Cassandra's hand joined Mina's in petting the fox, making him all the more uncomfortable, "Hmm, there was one other who came here about a week ago. We made sure his time here was... enjoyable."

"Yes, most enjoyable." Mina purred into Taci's ear, letting out a soft bell-like giggle, "You know, it's a shame we don't get more land-dwellers here. They're really quite a lot of fun in small doses."

Tacitus tried to squirm away from the two, but their soft bodies were surprisingly strong, pressing against him firmly and holding him in place. He cleared his throat awkwardly and crossed his legs, trying to keep his shame hidden, "Hey, this has been a lot of fun, but I... just remembered something that needs doing."

"Oh, don't fool yourself, little fox." Mina whispered into his ear, her tail sliding between his crossed legs to try and pull them open again, "It's obvious, the effect we're having on you. It's only natural."

"N-Now just... hold on a second--"

Cassandra's lips met his other ear, kissing it gently before beginning to murmur to him as well, "If you would only just let yourself relax. You'd enjoy yourself so much more if you could just let go..."

The two mermaids' eyes met for a moment, and they shared a grin. Each of them claimed an ear, their lips stopping just before his soft fur, beginning to softly hum to the fox. It was an odd, haunting melody that made him tingle for some reason, and the feeling of their large breasts pushing against his sides didn't help to calm the erection growing between his legs.

"Look, ladies, I really should... get home." he tried to reason his way out, since force apparently wasn't an option. Try as he might, he couldn't manage to pull his arms away from them, and their scaly tails had wrapped around his legs to keep them immobile.

Mina whispered into his ear, fingers walking across his chest and flicking a nipple, bringing a sharp gasp from his lips, "You're lying."

"N-No, I--"

"It's written all over your face... and other things." she giggled, walking her hand down his belly and stopping just above his crotch, "Looks like the fox's toy has come out to play."

"It'd be a shame if it left disappointed." Cassandra said, grinning at her fellow mermaid, continuing to hum into Taci's ears. The tune seemed to grow louder and echo through his mind, making his head spin and senses go into overload. What were they doing to him?

"P-Please..." Taci's protests were growing weaker, the two women's song getting stuck in his head and lulling him into a peaceful state of mind, "Please..."

"Shhh." Mina hushed him gently and pressed her finger to his lips, only to pull it back and dip it into the water. Her hand glowed with a soft blue light for a moment, and the water itself seemed to morph and tighten around his body. That would explain how they were holding him so easily-- the water itself had been keeping him bound.

The other mermaid was quick to show off her mastery over magic as well, making little tugging motions over the water with her fingers, causing three spherical orbs of water to rise up into the air and glow with the same blue light as their incantations. The orbs began to float and spin before Taci's eyes, swirling spirals of magical energy drawing his gaze and confusing his already foggy mind.

"Just relax, fox." one said. He wasn't paying attention to which it was. He was far too distracted with those lights.

"Yes, relax." said the other, caressing his chest with soft fingers and continuing to hum into his ears, "You're so tense. You need to let that out somehow, right?"

Taci didn't feel himself respond, but he could vaguely hear himself answering, "Yes... tense..."

"We can help you relieve your tension... and we know you want us to."

"Want... you to help me." he murmured, but again, he could barely even tell he'd said anything. The orbs floated around his head, spinning and swirling enticingly, keeping him distracted and relaxed.

One of the voices giggled, and he felt slender fingers wrap around his stiff member, drawing a moan from his lips, "You're so light now, aren't you?"

"So floaty and worry-free." the second voice added, two hands landing on his chest and beginning to freely play with his nipples.

"The water relaxes your body, while we take care of your mind."

"But there are some things the water can't do for your body, and that's where we come in." his cock got a firm squeeze, making him cry out in both surprise and pleasure, "I think he likes that."

"What man doesn't?" the voice giggled again, those skilled fingers beginning to slide up and down his needy member, "Now Tacitus, I know the pretty lights are so very distracting... but we want you to watch us pleasure you."

"Mm I... will watch." Taci finally spoke again between whimpering and moaning, his chest rising and falling quickly as he was stroked and pinched and teased by these skilled seductresses. Somehow, none of this seemed wrong or abnormal. Why should it? They were treating him so well, making him feel so nice.

"Good boy." the voice on his right praised him, and he could feel a swell of... pride? Happiness? Something good, whatever it was, and all it took was a simple phrase like that. With a snap, the orbs of water fell back into the spring, bringing Taci's attention back to his two aquatic captors. They'd moved back into his peripheral vision, both wearing wide grins on their faces as they beheld the dazed and mesmerized fox.

"He went under quite easily." Cassandra said, reaching forward to stroke his ears, bringing out a deep rumbling sound from his throat, "Must be a submissive boy at heart."

"The best kind." Mina said with a giggle, her fingers joining Cassie's to stroke along Taci's cock, "Now the question is... how best to soothe away all that tension."

The other mermaid slid up close to Taci and kissed his cheek, lifting her heavy breasts in her hands and raising herself up so that she could squish them against the fox's muzzle, "I know one way."

Mina followed suit, snickering cheekily as her own breasts were pushed in Tacitus' face, "How about it, boy? Do you like breasts?"

The redness beneath his fur would have told them the answer, had their ample bosoms not been covering his cheeks, but the fox answered all the same, "I... love breasts..."

"Especially big, bouncy ones, right?" Cassandra asked, pressing a nipple to his lips and cooing out softly as his tongue slid across the sensitive areola, "Guess that answers that."

"Don't hog all the tongue now." Mina scolded her friend playfully, pushing herself in place and climbing atop the trapped fox so that she could get some love as well. Taci didn't seem to care who he was licking or what else was going on around him. He had two lovely sets of breasts pushed up against his face, and he was going to show them just how much he loved them. His tongue slid out and lapped against the girls' nipples, his captors fidgeting and squirming around to try and find a position that could satisfy both of them, all while letting out little moans an gasps as they got a taste of that tongue's touch.

"This... isn't exactly the easiest thing, huh?" Cassie moaned out the question, half-fighting for position on top of the fox.

"No, it really isn't. We have this discussion every time, and it just turns into an argument." Mina huffed and grabbed her friend by the shoulders, "Look, here. Let's do it this way."

The two got on either side of Taci and leaned over him, pressing their breasts together and presenting them to the fox once again, who all too eagerly continued to worship them with his tongue.

"Now why didn't I-- oooh... think of that?" Cassandra gave Taci's nipple a pinch to reward him for his obedience, gazing down at him with the same bright blue light shining in her eyes, ensuring he remains deep down in trance, "That's a good boy. Show us how much you love our breasts-- ah!" she jumped at the feeling of a pinch to her other nipple, blushing up a storm when she saw Mina's fingers as the culprit, "Hey!"

"What, his tongue can't reach all the way. It looked lonely." the other mermaid said with a grin, rubbing her friend's nipple and licking her lips as her own breast was licked and suckled by their vulpine love slave, "Come on, I have a better idea."

Taci watched the two slide down his body, stopping at his hips. Mina leaned over first, pressing her breasts together and squeezing the fox's cock between them, making him squirm and moan loudly. If only his conscious mind could be awake to see what was happening... but all he could think about was relaxing, pretty lights, bouncy boobs... and there wasn't much of a chance of steering his mind away.

Cassie soon joined her friend, their breasts sandwiching Taci's member firmly, "You always come up with such great ideas. What would I do without you?"

"Have less fun." Mina winked, reaching over to pull the other mermaid closer and pressing a firm kiss to her lips. Cassie was resistant at first, but it only took a moment for her to sink into Mina's embrace, their tongues dancing in and out of one another's mouth as they squished and squeezed their breasts around their captive fox's cock.

"I think our boy likes the show." Cassandra purred between kisses, leaning down to lick a bit of precum from the tip of Taci's throbbing maleness, pushing her lips against Mina's again to share the sweet treat with her.

Mina hummed against her friend's lips and pressed her breasts tighter around Taci, "I think so, too. Don't you, boy?"

"I... yes..." Taci moaned out his answer, blushing hotly beneath his dark fur and rocking his head from side to side. It was all too much-- the stimulation, the little show they were putting on, the gentle glow of their eyes as they watched him squirm...

"Oh, I hope he isn't done already." Cassie giggled, playing her fingers over the tip of his member, "We've only just started."

"Maybe he's just really sensitive. Or maybe we're just that good." Mina dipped her fingers into the water again, an invisible tendril of water slithering between the fox's legs and pushing itself into his tail hole, causing him to jump and arch his back wide, a surprised moan escaping from his lips.

Cassie snickered at this and began to slide her breasts faster along his cock, intensifying the mesmerizing glow in her eyes and murmuring to him, "Sit still, foxy."

"Aww, at least let him move his hips."

"Now where's the fun in that? I want to see the need in his eyes..."

There was plenty of it to see, of course. Tacitus couldn't move except to breathe, his body obeying the implanted command without a hint of resistance. His breaths were quick and ragged, eyes glued to the hypnotic glow in front of him, watching the two mermaids tease him with their perfect breasts. His moans grew higher in pitch, and a familiar pressure was beginning to build within him.

"He's gonna cum." Mina stated the obvious, pushing the tendril deeper into him and making it rub against that sweet spot that all males possessed, "Should we let him?"

"Mmm I dunno..." Cassie grinned and pressed her finger against the tip of that cock, tracing circles around the head and bringing desperate moans from their foxy plaything, "Tell me, boy... are you sufficiently pleased with us?"

"Yes... oh gods yes..!" even his conscious mind would have agreed to this, and not even just so they'd stop tormenting him and let him cum. No one had ever treated him like this before... or at least, he couldn't think of one in that foggy head of his.

The two mermaids exchanged glances, smirking in satisfaction and giving the command simultaneously, "Cum."

That was all it took to push him over the edge. The simple command rang out in his mind, cutting through the fog and striking home. Taci arched wide, unable to obey the order to stand still as ecstasy rocked his body, alighting nerves from head to toe, his teased cock splattering the two mermaids' plush breasts with seed. His hips thrust again and again-- once he'd started moving again, he couldn't stop himself! Toes curled, fingers squeezed into fists, his entire body aching for movement as he rode out the intense climax, finally falling still as the last spurt of vulpine cum dribbled down the side of his member.

The two aquatic maidens waited patiently for him to finish, giggling softly and gazing up at him with reddened cheeks. They took a moment to wash away the mess they'd caused him to make, then slid up next to him and began to murmur in his ears again, Mina's fingers gently brushing his eyelids shut, "That's a good boy. All that tension's gone now, isn't it?"

"All... gone." the fox breathed out, still panting a little, trying to catch his breath. He'd never felt so loose in his life. His conscious mind might be embarrassed upon waking, but none could deny the effectiveness of a nice titfuck.

"That's good, Tacitus." Cassandra brushed his ears with her fingers and purred softly to him, "Now I want you to go silent for a while. Your mind, your body... Just let yourself drift off into a nice, restful sleep. We promise, when you wake up, you'll feel like a new man."

"And don't tell anyone else what you found here, ok?" Mina kissed his ear as she whispered, "You can tell them you were relaxed and had a nice bath, just like the one who told you. But don't speak of us."

"M'kay." Taci nodded, accepting their suggestions without question. He was in no position to argue or dispute their commands. He was far too... sleepy. Yes, so very sleepy. In fact, he figured he'd just take a nice little nap right there. What could it hurt?

The two mermaids snickered to themselves as they left his side, diving beneath the water to rest up a bit, themselves. They kept the watery bindings in place so that he wouldn't fall over and drown in the pool, but other than that, all Taci would be left with were memories to look back at with fondness... buried under shame and embarrassment.
