Chapter 39: Nastiest Claim, She Orders For!(18+)

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Nastiest Claim, She Orders For!(18+)

The northwestern line held through the night, but the dark was no longer empty.

Fires from the Hollow Kin advance were visible on the higher folds small, controlled points of light that crept closer with each passing hour.

Scouts reported the lead fighters had secured another draw after full dark and were already pushing smaller groups into the approaches that fed the primary posts.

The main camp followed more slowly, but the direction was no longer in question.

Contact would come with the next light, or in the grey hour before it.

~~~~

Korr walked the posts twice during the night. Bor walked them with him.

The first band was quiet, edges checked, water measured, signal fires ready.

No one wasted breath.

The air itself felt tighter, as if the stone were holding its breath with them.

In the valley the final dispositions were made.

Vara kept the counts exact. Additional strength that could still climb before dawn was already on the trails.

Gron remained on the arena ledge reading the reports as they came down.

Elka held her circle on the valley and eastern watches without incident.

The internal threads stayed where they had been left.

The advancing column had taken the center of every calculation.

At the deepest hour of the night a runner came down from the primary northwestern post with a short message: the lead Hollow Kin groups had stopped moving forward and were holding their ground.

They were waiting for the first light the same way the first band was waiting.

The larger blood would begin when both sides could see the stone clearly.

Vara received the message and made her decision.

She sent orders for the northwestern line to hold exactly as set.

Then she summoned Korr down from the primary post before the grey began to lift.

The climb back to the line would still be possible before full light if he left after the claim was finished.

She intended the claim to be finished thoroughly.

He found her in the deep chamber.

The lamps were lit.

The collection of Hollow Kin bones still lay on the stone table.

Gron had already left.

The chamber held only the two of them.

Vara stood naked in the lamp light, the bone necklace resting between her heavy breasts, silver-streaked hair loose around her shoulders.

The night’s weight sat in her eyes calculation, resolve, and the cold clarity that came from knowing the next cut would be larger than any that had come before.

~~~~

"They are holding for the light," she said. "So are we.

The first band is in place.

The valley is as ready as it can be.

When the sun clears the ridges the larger blood begins." She closed the distance.

"Before it does, the claim is renewed. Fully.

I want every part of you marked again before you walk back onto that line."

She pushed him back against the painted wall and kissed him hard, teeth scraping his lower lip until she tasted blood.

When she broke the kiss her eyes were dark and hungry.

"On the furs. On your back."

He went.

She followed, stripping the last of his leather with deliberate hands until he lay naked under her.

She did not take him inside her at once.

She had a wider, nastier claim to make.

She turned, straddled his chest in reverse, and lowered her hips until the soft, full curve of her ass settled heavily over his mouth.

"Eat it. Properly. Tongue deep. I want to feel it."

Korr’s hands gripped her strong thighs.

He dragged his tongue through the cleft of her ass, slow and thorough at first, then harder, pressing against the tight ring and working it open.

She was already wet; the scent and the heat of her filled him as he licked deeper, tongue pushing inside, circling, fucking her ass with his mouth the way she demanded.

Vara’s breath turned rough.

She rocked back against his face, grinding down, using him openly.

"Deeper. Don’t you dare stop until I say, mommy needs to come on your cock, as she moans out!"

He gave her deeper.

She rode his tongue with deliberate, filthy rolls of her hips, one hand braced on his thigh while the other reached down and wrapped tightly around his cock.

She stroked him in time with the movement of his tongue slow, tight, milking pulls that brought him close and then denied him.

The dual rhythm was merciless: her ass grinding down onto his tongue while her fist worked his cock with the same controlled authority she brought to every other use of his body.

When his hips began to thrust up into her hand she squeezed hard at the base and slowed the milking to almost nothing.

"Not yet. You finish when I decide."

She lifted off his mouth only long enough to turn, straddle his hips, and lower her heavy breasts to his face.

"Suck. Hard. Bite if you need to.

I want them marked."

Korr took one dark nipple between his lips and drew on it roughly.

She fed him the other in turn, hands braced on the furs beside his head, hips grinding down so the wet heat of her cunt slid along the length of his cock without taking him inside.

She used his mouth on her breasts with open greed holding him there, making him take the full weight and the taste of her, until the nipples were swollen and wet from his tongue and the faint marks of his teeth showed on the soft flesh.

~~~~

Only then did she rise, turn once more, and settle her ass back over his face.

"Again. Tongue as deep as it goes.

And keep your cock still while I milk it."

He ate her ass while she stroked him with long, tight, filthy pulls thumb sweeping the head on every upstroke, grip firm enough to edge him without mercy.

She brought him to the brink twice, slowing each time until his thighs shook and his breath came ragged against her skin.

The third time she did not stop.

She milked him with steady, relentless strokes until he came hard, thick ropes pulsing across her fist and onto his stomach.

She kept working him through it, drawing every drop, then brought her wet fingers to her mouth and licked them clean while she still sat on his face.

"Good," she said, voice rough.

"Now you earn the rest."

She lifted off, turned, and sank down onto his still-sensitive cock in one long, claiming drop.

~~~~

The heat of her closed around him. She began to ride with deep, hard strokes, hands braced on his chest, heavy breasts swinging, the bone necklace clicking with every movement.

She took what she wanted at the pace she wanted sometimes grinding down to take him to the root, sometimes lifting until only the head remained inside her before slamming back down.

"Look at me," she ordered. "I want your eyes while I use my nasty, baby boy..."

Korr’s hands gripped her hips hard enough to bruise.

He met her gaze and thrust up to meet every stroke.

The wet sound of their joining filled the chamber obscene, steady, unmistakable.

Vara’s rhythm grew harder, almost punishing.

She came first with a raw, open cry, body clamping around him in strong, rhythmic pulses.

The pull of it dragged a second, weaker climax from him while she kept riding through both, milking every last pulse from his cock with the tight heat of her cunt until he had nothing left.

She stayed seated on him for a long time afterward, forehead against his, breathing slowing together.

Outside, the first grey of dawn was beginning to lift over the ridges.

The signal fires of the northwestern line still burned steady.

"The light is coming," she said quietly.

"The column will move with it.

The first band will meet them on the ground we chose.

You will hold the line.

You will come back to these furs when the counting of the dead is done.

The claim that holds you does not thin because the high rock finally spends its blood."

Korr’s hands rested on her hips, fingers pressing into the marks he had left.

"I will hold it."

"Hold it," Vara answered. "And remember what you return to."

~~~~

She lifted off him slowly, the wet evidence of the claim slick on both of them.

She cleaned herself with a soft hide cloth, tossed a second cloth to him, and began to dress with the same deliberate calm she brought to every battle order.

By the time the grey had strengthened into true dawn she was fully clothed again, the bone necklace settled between her breasts, the Matron’s mask once more in place.

"Go," she said. "The line is waiting.

The blood is waiting pretty boy, Come back."

Korr left the chamber and climbed toward the northwestern posts as the first true light touched the ridges.

Behind him the valley tightened around the knowledge that the larger fight would begin with the sun.

Ahead of him the first band stood ready on the stone they had chosen.
