And here's the part where things heat up! *Wide grin*

If the subtitle or content warning didn't tip you off, things get nice and steamy here. It also introduces Dash and a key NPC to the story, and sets us up for... well let's just say, a somewhat major point in the mission. It's not for everyone, but hopefully you'll enjoy the seduction in the story.

 
Warning: Generous nudity and sexual situations

 
A few strands of sunshine managed to break through the light clouds, shining off a slender, naked female figure in the midst of a gentle, long flowing stream of water. Her campsite was near enough she could see it in a glance. But right now, she was enjoying the rare feeling of water flowing over her skin as she cleaned herself.

There were, she was sure, no eyes to spot her bare breasts glittering with the stream's water, nor any to admire her athletic, yet clearly feminine, form. She moved with a certain grace that betrayed her origins as an elf. Though no elf from this world. There were few differences from her elven body and a human body. Aleena looked up upon hearing an odd sound. It reminded her of the horses from her own planet, if different. Looking up, she saw a beautiful steed, saddled up and obviously tamed by one of the locals. It seemed to nose her to come closer, as it stood there on the bend of Chill River.

Giving no mind to her own nudity, she figured to swim closer for a look at the horse. If the horse noticed her, it gave her no note, nor did it betray a curious fact; she wasn't the only beautiful and naked feminine figure swimming towards the bend!

Aleena heard the sounds of splashing as she reached the bend, so she let her swim pause as she turned past a gathering of large rocks and wet stone. That's when she spotted a short mane of brunette hair atop a beautiful, female figure. Katherine, her hair shimmering with water, did not notice as Aleena silently approached. Katherine motioned for the horse to follow, then turned around, bumping into Aleena with surprise. "Oh! I didn't know there was anyone else around here."

Despite their breasts pushing into each other, neither woman took a step backwards. "I startled you," Aleena said, apologizing to the smaller woman.

"I think a lack of battle's caused me to stop paying attention," she admitted, noticing a slight rub between her bare legs and Aleena's. "I'm Katherine Swift. The horse belongs to a friend of mine."

"I am Aleena. Pleased to meet you."

"Hm?" Katherine paused, and smiled slightly. "Do you know a Sebastian Dash then?"

"He was part of the crew that fished me out of the ocean when my ship sank. I haven't seen him since landfall."

She continued to smile. Still pressed into this strange friend of Dash's. "I figure he'll be back soon. I wanted to get clean and dressed before then. I'm a longstanding friend of his. He entrusted me with his horse." She glanced up with a playfully scolding face. "Espanola here must have an eye for pretty elves."

Aleena grinned. "I thank you. It will be good to see my rescuer again."

Katherine chuckled. There was a slight noticeable scar above her left eye, looking years old. She pressed a little closer to the other woman to whisper, "You act like you know something I don't."

"Perhaps," Aleena replied mischievously, glancing at the riverbank. Katherine's followed the elf’s gaze to finally spot Dash, standing with a completely shocked expression. At 6'2, of course, he stood a bit taller than even Aleena, with a hair a half shade darker than Katherine's.

"They really need to divide these rivers into men's and women's sections." Dash politely, momentarily, averted his eyes to his horse.

Aleena laughed, "‘Tis always funny how humans grow embarrassed at the sight of a woman."

Dash returned his gaze to them momentarily. "Ahh.. in my defense, it's two naked women. Which brings up a good question."

Katherine just chuckled. "Dash, you didn't tell me you had such stealthy friends!"

Aleena wrapped her arms around Katherine, clasping her hands together at the small of her back and immediately feeling the other girl's hands clasp against Aleena's back. Dash tried to roll his eyes, but had trouble taking them off the ladies.

"What sort of question have you, Dash?" Aleena asked, grinning. This had worked out better than she expected; Aleena found joy in the tease, and was thankful Katherine was so receptive to her advances. Kathy, truth be told, didn't seem sure what to think... other than enjoying seeing Dash fidget.

"You'd think he'd want to join us," Katherine said in her best sultry voice.

"Yeah," Dash said, petting Esponola without looking. "Clan business. You know how it is."

Aleena turned her gaze back to Katherine, her emerald eyes watching the brunette carefully. As a huntress, she saw momentary weakness in the woman’s expression and moved in quickly to press a soft, firm kiss to her lips. Katherine's head moved back in surprise, but Katherine was competitive, and quickly kissed her in return, though she felt like she'd break out in a laugh any second.

Aleena made the first retreat, breaking the kiss and giggling softly. "You are a wondrous kisser, Katherine."

With the look you'd give a friend you were teasing, Katherine looked up at Dash and noted, "Hmm.. I don't recall him saying anything so nice when we first kissed."

That momentarily broke the spell over Dash as he blushed. "We were kind of young.. and.. well socially awkward." He paused. "We'll have to explain it to Aleena sometime, but for now.."

"Always business with you, Dashie?" Katherine took a step backwards and towards Dash, making sure to get his attention on the water glittering off her naked body. She turned sharply as she felt a bare hip bump her own. Katherine bumped back, her eyes returning to Dash. "What's up?"

Dash turned to see the two standing closer, next to each other. "Ahh.. oh. Right. Saving a princess."

Aleena smiled, embracing Katherine again, sliding her lithe thigh between Kath’s equally athletic thighs. "Alright, I saved one."

Katherine, not wanting to be outdone, leaned in and give Aleena's cheek a quick playful lick, even as her thighs bumped against the other woman's. This time, it made an interesting bit of contact. "Who saved who, Princess?"

"Who’ll save you from me?" Aleena asked, as she rubbed her thigh up between Katherine’s legs, growing very intimate with her contact.

The elf quickly felt Katherine's thigh in a similar position as Katherine more whispered, "If we keep challenging each other like this, I feel sorry for whoever tries to get us apart."

Aleena giggled and blushed at the suggestion. "I can think of no better fate." She lowered her head, gazing into Katherine’s brown eyes gently, but fully revealing -- reveling in her desire. Katherine certainly was enjoying it, though she had to admit half the fun for her was teasing Dash. She didn't let look up to see if he was still there when he announced himself.

"Soo, did you want me to head back to camp, ladies?" Dash's voice was a bit cool. Not like he wasn't enjoying the sight, but Aleena figured he might be a bit uncomfortable with it. "Or can we get down to business?"

"Alright, but you owe us," Katherine immediately responded. "Shall we let him do his big hero moment?"

Aleena nodded, letting the moment slip away and letting Katherine slip out of her embrace. She turned to face Dash, perfectly formed breasts dripping water as she gave Katherine a last, longing hip-bump. "Aye. Speak."

Katherine matched the hip bump as Dash spoke. "Her name's Jen Pi. She's actually quite capable of defending herself, but some experienced kung fu fighters caught her by surprise. There's a rumor she managed to slip free somewhere down south. I figured I'd come home, get my gear and supplies, and invite Katherine with. You're invited too, Aleena."

Dash's eyes never left their faces though the look on his face suggested a guilty pleasure.

"Then I’ll meet you at your camp," Aleena decided. "I’ll be with you momentarily," she added as she climbed out of the river. As she emerged from the water, her almost magical cysuit began to reform on her body, shedding the water that clung to silken skin.

"I'm not going to be that quick," Katherine admitted with a playful brush of her hips against Dash as she fished her outfit out of the pouch on the horse.

Dash briefly watched her hips sway, then looked away as Aleena stalked off. "Hope you two are combat ready. I got the intel back at camp."

Dash turned towards Katherine and wondered, "Is she upset about something? I was trying to stay businesslike."

Katherine rolled her eyes and shook her head in disbelief. "What do you think she was upset about?!"

-------

The elf returned to her camp. She was feeling pretty good about the day; it was promising to be bright and warm. Given the past week of rains, it felt great to be dry. Her camp was sparse; she worked to make her presence traceless. After spending so many years in space, she had little opportunity to practice her woodsman skills until the past few weeks. Carefully, she folded the chainmail bikini that Konall Bearsmasher gave her and packed her bedroll atop. The ‘armor’ was supposed to help her blend in with the natives, but Aleena preferred the comfort and protection of her more concealing cysuit by far. Away from the cities, she decided, she would dress how she liked.

Aleena thought back to her encounter with Katherine and Dash, wondering and doubting herself. Had she been too forward? It was enjoyable, and she felt that Katherine and Dash also enjoyed the tease. But it is best not to rush things, even given their short, passionate lives.

Before we know it (and after our heroes know it), we're travelling on the road, with the two ladies perched up on top of Espanola and Dash leading the way, duffle bag in hand and a travel bag attached to his broad back.

"Tell me, where are we going?" Aleena asked.

Dash glanced up at them. "Well, the important part is securing our royal guest and neutralizing any threats. Hopefully without having to shed too much blood."

"Sounds like a job," answered Aleena.

Katherine nudged Dash. "How will we know her when we see her?"

Dash didn't roll his eyes, though only with a bit of effort. "This is why I brought notes, ladies."

"Just give us the brief note version," Katherine suggested.

"She's from a nation nearby to the nation of Panda," Dash explained. "Both Asianic countries. She's around Aleena's height and build, though obviously without the elven features. Beyond that.." Dash shrugged. "I'm guessing she's the only one they've kidnapped, which should make identifying her easier."

"What kind of resistance do you expect us to meet?" Aleena asked. She looked forward to exercising her martial abilities.

"I don't know," Dash admitted. "But it sounds like waves and waves of kung fu fighters. At least they won't be ninjas. Then again, it'll just be the three of us, I'm sure."

Aleena’s ears perk up and her gaze narrowed at a point in the distance. "Is that Konall? I think it is!" She grinned excitedly. "I’m sure glad to see him. Quick, let’s ask him to join us. We could probably use the help." Aleena felt she’d be able to handle herself in a fight, but by sheer weight of numbers her party could be defeated. She appreciated the manly strengths of Konall and Dash; ones who could wield great weapons and fell many foes at once could even the odds.

Dash strained to see whatever she was looking at. As they got closer, he indeed came into view. "Wow. Nice eyesight, Aleena."

Aleena smiled and the three rode up to inquire if Konall and Spaz would be interested in going with. If they were lucky, it wouldn’t be the only ally they'd find.

In fact, it wouldn't be, as you'll see in the upcoming Live RP!

 
Maybe they'd get some cool swag this time!

Heh.. heh.. it lived up to the subtitle, don't you think?

It exposes, not for the last time, a new, softer, sexual side to Aleena and Katherine, and the bit with Dash was fun as well. Almost as importantly, we're now set up to explore and enjoy the Live RP.

But before we get to that, surprise. We've got someone debuting right here!
