The Empire of Zeth/Chapter 11 (Ero)
Evy spends the next several days recuperating, feeling much weaker than she'd ever felt before in her life after the recent events. Master Garath gratefully accepted Ranth's offer to stay with Evy while she recovered, as he was too busy attending meetings and sifting through reports to watch over her. A cot was set up in Evy's chambers for Ranth to use, as he refused to leave her side to go back to his own quarters to sleep.
Ranth poured Evy water and helped her eat, telling her stories about his youth and time in training with the imperial guard to pass the time. It was getting late, and he was almost finished telling her the story of the time he accidentally locked himself inside a store room as a little boy for an entire day.
"I thought I'd never get out of there. When my father finally came and found me, I was crying in a corner eating field ration packs like they were the last thing I'd ever taste. To this day I still can't stand the things..."
Evy chuckled, enjoying the tale. She yawned deeply, and her eyes fluttered with sleepiness. "Th-Thank you for staying with me, Ranth.." she mumbles, her eyelids drooping.
"No problem!~" he says, patting her on the shoulder as he gets to his feet. "Sleep well, you don't want to be in bed forever!~" Evy sticks out her tongue at him which only makes him laugh. She falls asleep and Ranth prepares to go to bed on the cot. Taking off his boots and shirt, he climbs into the cot and lies down. Glancing back over at Evy, Ranth sees she is already fast sleep. He rolls over onto his side, and tries to get some shut eye himself...
...
Evy dreams once again. She is back on the train, and everything is as it was before. Leg'than Direhammer is standing over Ranth. He raises his sword, about to bring it down on his head. Evy cries out and tries to run to him... but her feet feel like they're covered in honey. Each step is a struggle, but she forces herself on.
Time moves slowly, and the sword slowly descends. Evy reaches for her own sword, only to discover it's not with her. She tries to call it to her side, but it won't listen! The sword descends further. Evy screams and leaps forward, but the scene moves and she falls flat on her belly.
The sword hits Ranth's helmet and cleaves it in twain. Evy screams "NOOOO!!!" and cries as she is forced to watch Ranth die, helpless. The uruk-hai hears her scream and turns, grinning evily at the girl lying on the floor. He stalks towards her, raising the sword that still drips with Ranth's blood over his head and brings it down on her...
...
"Evy! EVY!" Ranth stands over Evy's bed, trying to wake her. He dodges her flailing limbs, remembering what happened last time he shook her while she slept... Evy thrashes and throws the bedsheets off with such force that they fly into the wall on the far side of the room. Her eyes shoot open and she breaths heavily, sweat covering her skin and soaking through her black-dyed cotton night clothes.
It takes Evy a few moments to realize where she was. Her eyes finally focus on Ranth, and they tear up. "R-Ranth?" she cries. Evy leaps out of the bed and seizes Ranth around the torso in a bear hug so tight he swears he can hear his bones creak in protest. Grimacing, he awkwardly pats Evy on the back and she trembles.
"It's alright - you're safe, Evy!" he coos to her. "Can you not squeeze so hard?? You're hurting me.." Evy lets go as he says this. "S-Sorry! S-Sorry!!" The girl locks her arms behind her back. Not meeting his eyes, she goes and retrieves the bedsheets.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Ranth asks as Evy brings the sheets back over to the bed. She nods, still not meeting his eyes. When she struggles to untangle the sheets, he steps forward to assist her. Evy mumbles her thanks and together they put the bed to rights.
Once it's made, Evy sits down on it, dangling her legs off the side. After a short hesitation, Ranth sits down beside her and puts an arm around her small shoulders. She snuggles up against him, still trembling. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asks her softly. Evy shakes her head, hiding her eyes underneath her bangs. "Alright, you don't have to if you don't want to." He sits there for a while, until she stops trembling.
Seeing Evy is calm now, Ranth takes his arm from her shoulders and moves to get up. As he turns and stands up, Evy quickly grabs her forearm. "W-Wait, where a-are you g-going?" she stutters.
"I'm just going back to the cot, alright? You should try to get some more sleep, if you can. Those nightmares can't hurt you - they aren't real, and I'll be right here if you need me." He pats her on the head to reassure her.
Evy still won't let go of Ranth's arm. "Is there anything else I can do for you?" he asks the scared girl.
"C-Can you... um.. s-stay..." Evy mumbles. It takes Ranth a minute to realize what she's asking. "Are you wanting me to sleep in your bed with you..?" Evy nods. In the light of the candle on her bed stand Ranth notes that the little girl's cheeks are a bit flushed. Does she have a fever?
Ranth swallows, feeling that odd sensation again her can't identify. "Um, alright. If you're s-sure that's what you want." Evy nods rapidly, and pulls him back onto the bed. She throws back the covers and scoots to one side, trying to give him room. The bed wasn't exactly small as it was not a child-sized bed, but there still wasn't that much room. Ranth lies on his back beside the girl, trying to get comfortable and simultaneously feeling VERY uncomfortable for some reason that had nothing to do with the bed...
Ranth pulls the bed sheets up over them both and they lie there in silence for a time. Evy snuggles up against Ranth, feeling much safer with his large body pressed up against hers. She relaxes, and lets out a sigh. "Y-You feeling better now?" Ranth whispers. Evy nods, her jet black locks tickling his forearm as she does so. "G-Good..." he mumbles, feeling uncomfortable with the whole situation. At least SHE was comfortable, though...
He lies still with his eyes wide open for quite some time, unable to get his mind off of the sensation of the small warm body next to him. Evy uses his arm like a pillow, trying to burrow against him like she was a mole and he was a fresh pile of dirt. Ranth only lies there, hoping she'll fall asleep soon and he can extricate himself from the situation. Unfortunately, one of Evy's more forceful shifts and turns unbalances him, and he falls out of the small bed, throwing his arms out to catch himself.
"S-Sorry!" Evy says, holding out a hand to the fallen man to help him back to his feet. Ranth takes her hand and lets her leaver him to his feet. Despite knowing her strength, it still feels weird to him how easily she pulls him to his feet. "Erm.. Maybe I should just go back to the cot?" he suggests. "You look like you're feeling a lot better..."
"N-No, please..." she mumbles. "I won't thrash, I promise.. just don't g-go..." Ranth sighs and climbs back into bed with her. He'd spent enough time around kids to expect her to not be able to stop herself from doing the exact same things as before. He would just be more insistent next time he fell out of the bed, he decides.
Despite this, Evy does try not to thrash. She squirms a bit, but eventually she relaxes and falls asleep. Glad she finally passed out, Ranth lies there. Evy clings to his arm like it was a favorite toy her elders were trying to take from her, so there was no way he was escaping unless he wanted to wake her up. With a sigh, Ranth resigns himself to his fate and does his best to fall asleep himself. After a lot of trying, he does finally pass into a light slumber...
...
Ranth's dreams are filled with Evy, Evy, and only Evy. He visits some of the scenes from her mind again, and one in particular... the memory of her capture and rape. He is forced to watch her get violated, wanting desperately to save her, but unable to move. Nobody saves her this time, and she spends the rest of her life as a sex slave while he watches helplessly...
Waking with a start, Ranth realizes Evy has let go of his arm. Turning his head slightly, he sees that she has rolled around so that her back is facing him and is hunched over. She's making some kind of small movement and noises, but he can't tell what they are. Ranth squints, trying to blink the sleepiness from his eyes.
It takes him a moment to realize what she's doing, and when he does his stomach does back flips in shock. Evy has one hand up underneath her top, and the other down her pants. She's doing her best to stifle her moans and move as little as possible, but it's clear the little girl is trying to masturbate with him laying pressed up against her! Ranth swallows hard. What the hell should he do?? I mean, why was she doing that anyways with him lying here!?
A more worrying though crosses his mind... and he finally accepts what he's been trying to deny to himself since he met her. He LIKED watching her masturbate. He liked HER... The thought gives him goosebumps. He'd never really cared for girls his own age (or older) before, and by age 14 had been starting to wonder if something was wrong with him. He was reasonably certain he didn't like boys, either... so what was it? Was this the reason why..??
When Ranth felt something stir under his trousers, he decided he HAS to speak up. Clearing his throat, he whispered to Evy, "Err... Evy, what are you doing?" The girl nearly levitates as she jumps. She looses her balance and now it's her turn to fall out of the bed. Evy leaps to her feet, her face a deep crimson as she wraps her hands around her chest. "N-Nothing! I w-wasn't.. I m-mean... what??" she hides under her bangs, and her eyes lock with the floor.
Ranth swallows, his mouth paper-cry. He wonders how best to proceed... "Erm, why don't you get back into bed?" He holds out a hand to her. Evy timidly takes it and climbs back into the bed, facing away from him. After a long pause, Ranth can't stand the silence any longer and decides to speak up again. "S-So... did it feel good?" he blurts out, and kicks himself for saying something so stupid. Evy flips onto her belly and buries her head under the pillow, feeling so embarrassed at being caught masturbating.
Awkwardly Ranth pats the poor girl on the back, making her tense up. She relaxes after a moment, and he decides to rub her back instead. "U-Um.. I'm not m-mad, if that's what you're worried about.." he mumbles. "I w-was just surprised... or m-maybe 'shocked' is a better word for it..."
Slowly, Evy partially withdraws her head from underneath the pillow and looks at him. "Y-You're not m-mad..?" she stammers. Ranth shakes his head, and she comes out from under the pillows entirely and turns over onto her back, staring at the ceiling. After another long silence, Ranth asks, "Do you do that a lot?" Evy shakes her head. "Did.. did it feel good?" Evy slowly nods. "Why did you do it tonight..?"
Another long pause. Ranth starts to wonder if she will ever answer, when she squeaks out. "Y.. Y-You never answered my q-question f-from earlier!!" Ranth looks confused. "What question..?" he asks. "F-From before w-we w-were i-interrupted..." he mumbles. He finally realizes what she's talking - she'd asked him if he "liked" her before, and he'd never answered. Swallowing, he croaks, "Y-Yes, I th-think.. I th-think I d-do 'like' you, Evy..."
Evy sits up, the covers falling from her chest. "R-Really? You're not just s-saying that?" Ranth feels very odd. "I m-mean it.." he mumbles, and it dawns on him how true those words really are. Almost too fast to see, Evy leans down and pecks Ranth on the lips, the turns to face away from him, her head in her hands and her shoulders hunched as if she expected him to scold her. Ranth is too stunned by this turn of events to respond, the sensation of her lips touching his, even only for a very brief moment, is burned into his mind forever.
When he doesn't say anything, Evy turns to face him again. Now it's Ranth's turn to blush, which makes Evy grin. "Yay! Then you're my boyfriend now!~" she declares. "Ummm..." Ranth mumbles, sweating at her words. "Nuh-uh! You said you liked me an' you blushed when I kissed you! That means it's official!~" she exclaims with childlike innocence. "F-Fire, b-but keep your voice down! These walls have ears!"
Evy scoffs at him. "Nah, I don't like listening spells... I always break the ones in here. Master Garath gave up scolding me a long time ago about it, since I wouldn't listen and he couldn't stop me... You can't listen into this room, only out of it." she grins at him, obviously very pleased with herself for getting away with defying her authority figure.
"Besides." she continues. "The spells don't seem to pick up my voice anyways. Master Garath had me participate in some study where they tried to figure out why not, but by the end all those old
Ranth shakes his head. "Um, if you s-say so... But if you shout any louder I bet they can hear you at the palace!" Evy giggles. "R-Right, sorry..." She lays back down next to him with a plop. Ranth wonders what he just got himself into, fear tricking down his spine. Master Garath would kill him if he thought he was talking advantage of her... b-but he wasn't! This was all HER idea!
Lost in thought, he is jerked back to reality when Evy flips onto her side facing him. "Err..." she mumbles. "Now what..?" Ranth just blinks at her like a lizard. "Eh? Now what?" he says. "Now what do we do?" Evy says. "I've never had a boyfriend before..." Ranth chuckles at this. "Don't look at me, I've never had a.. a girlfriend before, either." Evy looks startled. "R-Really? I just assumed..." she pauses. "Um, I thought you'd know what to do now... What do boyfriends and girlfriends usually do..?" she mumbles.
Ranth gulps. "W-Well... I th-think they spend a lot of time together, and.. umm..." he pauses, unwilling to continue that train of thought. Evy nudges him "And what..?" She looks at him expectantly, her face full of youthful innocence. Ranth sweats, not wanting to tell her... be for some reason he felt like he just couldn't disappoint her.
"W-Well..." he mumbles, his voice audibly shaking. "Th-They.. umm..." Taking a deep breath, he tries again. "Th-They.. h-have..." his voice trails off again. "Have WHAT!?" Evy demands impatiently. Unable to meet her eyes, he started at the ceiling, then says in a tiny voice. "...have s-sex."
"Oh, that makes sense..." Evy says to his profound shock. "So, uhh... l-let's d-do that then." Ranth sits up. "E-Evy, w-we can't do th-that..!" he stammers. Now it's her turn to blink at him. "Why not?" she asks, all innocence. "B-Because.. b-because..." His mind races, searching frantically for a way out of this. She's just emotionally fragile right now - he could never take advantage of her in that state, even if she was asking him to!
"D-Don't you like me?" Evy says. She lift her shift up and shows him her flat chest, making Ranth sweat even more. He had to put a stop to this! Forcing himself to look away from her adorably flat chest (which was no small task), his mind scrambled for something to say to end this before it got out of hand...
A small hand rests on Ranth's groin, making him jump and try to pull away. "E-Evy, d-don't..!" Ranth stammers, trembling. "Wh-Why not? I thought you liked me..." Evy's chin wobbles and she looks like she's about to cry. "D-Did you n-not m-mean i-it?" she whimpers. Ranth grabs her in a big hug, making Evy squeak. "D-Don't cry, please! I can't stand to watch you cry.. I DID mean it, I'm j-just... you're h-hurt - vulnerable. It would be very dishonorable for me to t.. take advantage of you right now!"
From somewhere underneath his encircling arms, Ranth hears Evy mumble, "...You're not 'taking advantage' of me. I've had s-sex before, you k-know." She pries his arms apart and he sits back. Ranth swallows, searching for another tactic. "W-Well... Have you ever h-had... h-had s-sex with someone you actually.. l-liked?" he asks her.
Evy goes still, then slowly shakes her head. "B-But I know what it is... Master Garath explained it to me after.. after that horrible man made me do it..." She shakes her head as if to clear it. "C'mon - pleeeeassse?~" she begs him, giving him the puppy dog eyes. Clearly she was not going to let this go.
Ranth sighs, and decides to try something else. "H-How about this..." he mumbles. "You know how you were... t-ouching yourself before?" Evy nods. "Umm.. It's supposed to feel better if someone else does it.. I think... so what if.. if we did that instead?" Evy looks curious at this. "Huh? It does?" Ranth lets out an inner sigh - her curiosity was peaked, good. Maybe if he just... fondled her a bit she would let it go. Another idea struck him: if he did it badly she might not ask about this ever again!
"What do I do?" Evy asks him expectantly. Ranth swallows hard. "C-Come sit in my lap.." he mumbles. Without hesitation Evy scoots over towards him and climbs into his lap. Ranth can't help but admire her smooth charcoal skin, and noticed not for the first time just how cute her pointed ears were as they poked out from beneath her hair. "A-Are you gonna st-start..?" Evy says after he doesn't do anything for a time.
With an inner though of 'why me...', Ranth sighs and timidly places a hand on the little girl's belly. Evy lifts her shirt out of the way for him, and he places his palm on her skin below her navel. Gulping, he slowly moves it down towards her groin, a part of him unable to believe he's about to do this, even if she did ask for it... Evy pulls her pants away from her hips, giving him easy access. She seemed quite eager...
Ranth moved his hand down.. down... until it reached her smooth pussy. Sweating hard, he runs a finger very lightly along her immature slit. Evy's eyes go wide and she gasps at even that small amount of stimulation. "Th-That f-felt r-really g-good!" she stammers. "D-Do it again.. p-please..?" Ranth promptly forgets his plan to do this badly on purpose, as he feels an undeniable urge to make her happy and can no longer help himself. With a start he realizes that his penis is standing at full mast, and tries to shift his pelvis so that it doesn't poke into Evy's butt.
He had no experience whatsoever with this sort of thing himself... all he had to go on were the boastful tales some of his older and more 'mature' friends had told him about their times spent bedding various women. He remembered what they'd said they did... something about 'foreplay', and a few other half remembered "tips" they'd told him to use. This time he runs his finger along Evy's smooth slit from the bottom up, and stops at the top where he tries to find her little bean.
Finding it, he rubs her tiny clit and the little drow girl trembles and moan in his arms. She presses her groin against his hand unconsciously, and his finger slips and enters her. This makes her flinch gasp. He withdraws it quickly. "S-Sorry! S-Sorry! Y-You m-moved, I didn't m-mean t-to..!" Ranth stammers out, thinking she's going to be mad for some reason. Evy catches her breath, then says, "Why'd you s-stop..? A-Again..." Taken aback, Ranth presses his finger against her slit again and slips it gently into her little hole.
Evy writes and moans as Ranth gently fingers her, and her rump bumps into his erection. Startled, she whips her head around to see what she just hit. "Y-Your.. thingie got big?" she says, surprised. "Does that mean you wanna p-put it in me..?" Ranth curses - not this again! Remembering something else his friends had described to him, he changes tactics. "U-Um, h-how about instead we try something a little.. d-different?" Evy turns around to face him, still in his lap. "Like what..?"
Ranth swallows. "W-Well... one of m-my.. friends said there's this thing you can do where we both use our mouthes on each other.. S-So we both get to f-feel good..." Evy looks curious. "Oh, okay. How do we do that..?" Still sweating, Ranth replies, "F-first we gotta take off our pants..."
Evy nods and stand up on the bed without a word, pulling her pants down to her ankles and stepping out of them. Ranth's blood boils as he gets a full-on view of her hairless pussy just inches away from his face. It's already dripping a bit with her love juices. He quickly pulls his own pants off and discards them. Evy's eyes lock on his erect penis and she stares.
"Evy? You r-ready?" Ranth has to poke her thigh to get her attention. "Hmm? Oh r-right. N-Now what..?" Ranth thinks for a moment. "N-Now... now I lie on my back, and you get on t-top of me, and straddle me with your butt over my face.. I think."
"O-Okay..!" Ranth lies on his back and Evy mounts him, turning around to wiggle her rump over her face. Her pussy is now right over his mouth and he can no longer help himself. "N-Now wh-wha- OH!" Evy's eyes widen as Ranth runs his tongue up and down her cute little slit. "Hahh.. Th-That f-feels.. a-amazing..! B-But wha-what do I d-do?" she stammers. Ranth comes to his senses for a moment and realizes he forgot to give her instructions. "O-Oh... S-So... you use your mouth to, err... suck on my penis. Like it's a piece of candy." Evy mumbles, "K-Kay, I'll t-try..."
Ranth feels her hot breath on his cock as she opens her mouth and timidly engulfs the tip in her small mouth. Ranth lets out a moan as her mouth locks over his dick - it was the best thing he'd ever felt in his life! His bliss is shattered by a bit of pain. "Ouch! T-Try to keep your teeth away, that hurts.."
"Sphworry!!" Evy mumbles without taking his dick from her mouth. Ranth gasps and goes back to giving her his own tongue service, snaking his tongue into her little pipe. Evy writhes her butt against his face as he eats her out, and likewise Ranth unconsciously thrusts his hips up as she bobs on his cock, trying her best to make him feel as good as he was making her feel. She had no idea what she was doing, but at this point it wasn't going to take any great technique to make him feel good.
Ranth's dick throbbed as Evy went down on him. She grabbed his shaft with both hands to hold it still, which only made it feel even better for the young man. A few moments later, Evy moaned deeply into Ranth's dick as she came, her girlie juices spraying into Ranth's mouth. He blinked in surprise, though he should have expected this from what his friends had told him. He just thought.. some part of him maybe thought she was too young to cum? He wasn't sure, and he didn't care - he decided he liked the taste of her love juices and lapped them up. Evy in turn ran her mouth over his dick faster, trying to take as much of it into her small mouth as she could manage, her hips twitching adorably as she rode out her first real orgasm.
Ranth like he was in heaven as Evy sucked him off. Suddenly he realized he felt something coming... Taking his mouth away from her pussy, he exclaimed, "E-Evy, w-wait! If you don't s-stop, I'm g-gonna..!" It was too late, Evy squeezed his shaft and he exploded into her mouth. The girl pulled back in surprise, his dick popping out her mouth, and letting the second splurt plaster itself over her face. To Ranth's relief, Evy giggled as he came on her face. "Your thingie's like those icing tubes the bakers use for pastries!~" Ranth just moans, thinking 'kids...' and slumps back onto the bed.
Evy lets go of his dick and gets off him, then turn around and leaps onto his chest, landing with a small 'thud!' and knocking Ranth's wind out. "That was fuuuun!~" she declares happily. "We gotta do it again sometime! Ranth! Hey Ranth, are you listening?" Ranth was too tired to respond, and he'd fallen asleep...
...
(The next day...)
