Mature Content Warning: A very mild amount of ero.

Author's Note: So, this concludes chapter 16, I think. :) I figured I would update this first today (not counting Blackthorne, which updates whenever I have a free minute it seems), since it was the redheaded step-child of updates for the last two days.

Edit: It was brought to my attention that the stat bonuses from the bonds had not been added in. I have updated the stats in this chapter to make it right, and changed the stat point augmentation paragraph to reflect the change. It only influenced intellect and v.force by a small amount.

Chapter 16.3: A Hard Morning

---

A little time had passed since Flora had decided to use Scott as a cross between a teddy bear and an anal pacifier. Dawn came at last and the exhausted man became more energetic. He could feel the buzz and warmth of an incoming update. It seemed to be stronger than he remembered; a good sign as far as he was concerned.

Roughly two minutes passed before the image that he hoped to see popped up before him. His eyes lit up with excitement at the lengthy dawn report.

“Hell yeah, a double level increase!” He had pulled in a pretty decent haul for a single day of work.

Flora partially awoke and Scott immediately began to massage her anus with his index finger. He pumped up and down gently and the plant girl murmured then began to drift back to sleep. She gripped at his chest tenderly and pressed against him before sleep took her completely.

Quietly this time, he checked his report again. His bonus credits were just a little short of a gold credit, which was a large amount of money for the general populace. He was a little more excited about the additional augmentation points, however.

The council was stingy about providing that sort of thing. If a hunter captured more than ten Nightmares in a single day they could count on at least one additional point per ten captures, but beyond that they were only handed out in extreme cases, or at certain milestones.

Scott checked his status to see what had changed so far.

He eyed his status critically for a moment. It took him a moment, but he realized what seemed wrong. The vital force augment that he used had absorbed one hundred EXP in order to increase his vital force by one point.

Scott lifted his hand from the small of Flora’s back then rubbed his chin. The girl whimpered softly and her anus clenched around the finger in her ass. Her master’s left eyebrow rose for a moment then a smile slid across her face. She was such a sweet girl. He should give her a proper anal massage later if she liked them so much.

Briefly, he considered the similarities between the sweet Alraune and the naughty Pirouette. Both seemed inordinately fond of having their asses played with, or at least Flora seemed to like that now. He wondered for a moment, if perhaps that was why she had balked a little at having him caress her ass when they had first met. It was her special place.

He thought about her ass for a short time then started the augmentation process. He added two points to intellect. Even though he had ten points in that stat due to the bonus that he received from having Pirouette equipped, if he were to unequip her he would lose those extra points.

The hunter gazed carefully at his stats for a moment then nodded. He dumped his remaining eight augmentation points into vitality. Resonance would be useful soon, but what he needed at the moment was more vital force. He would be able to train skills easier, and use them more often. He finalized his choices then waited a moment for the expected city council message to arrive.

<<< Message >>>

You have chosen to expend more than four augmentation points in a twenty-four hour period. Safety protocols dictated by the American City Council require that the upgrades that you have selected be realized over the course of the next twenty-four hours, and at evenly spaced intervals.

Thank you, for your understanding.

Scott sighed softly then smiled. He did not like having to wait, but the result would be worth it.

Speaking of things that were worth it, Flora whimpered sweetly once more then tried to crawl closer to his face. Scott saw that as a desire to have him hold her again. He slipped his free hand back under her flower bud and began to massage her gently.

She calmed down then murmured softly. Scott smiled at her then kissed her on the top of the head.

Flora made a sweet noise then her pretty face scrunched up cutely and took on a flush appearance. Not long after Scott felt a warm sensation on his chest and around his groin.

He blinked once then sniffed the air. Had she just done what he thought she had?

The Alraune gasped gently then her anus spasmed around his finger. She clutched at him a little then whimpered. Scott barely heard her whisper, “Oh, Scott...”

His eyes widened then narrowed. He concentrated on his link with her and tried to pick up on her errant thoughts and emotions. They had a fairly strong bond so it was easy to sense each other, even if details were fuzzy. That was why he had sensed her at the door earlier.

When he dived into their link he immediately felt warmth and steam, and raw desire. A fuzzy image appeared in his mind. It was two vaguely human shapes in the throes of carnal passion.

The image cleared a little as Scott concentrated and it became apparent what was happening. Flora was experiencing a wet dream, and a good one from what he could tell. The man casually sliding his dream cock into her equally dreamy ass looked vaguely like him, but he was still fuzzy and indistinct.

Flora whispered, “Harder, Scott...”

He did not want to wake her if she was having a nice dream, but he was also the sort of guy who could not abstain from contact if a hot girl was having erotic dreams right on top of him. He decided that the only proper thing to do was to finger her ass a little more and try to keep time with the dream version of him. As he did so, the image became more distinct.

Flora moaned sweetly and pressed her ass, both real and dream, against her master. It did not take long for her to gush once more as the dual anal assault on her body and soul was beyond her previous experience.

Her breast milk leaked heavily as the sweet honey dew girl experienced intense orgasmic bliss. However, the dream abruptly cut off at the moment when dream Scott was about to plant his masculine seed deep inside her anal dream garden.

Soft snores greeted Scott not long after. He sighed loudly then gently slowed his finger. Even in a dream he could not get any sweet relief. He forgave Flora for giving him the worst case of blue balls in history. It was not her fault. Still, he absolutely needed to find release soon or he might explode.

He happened to glance down at his wrist. His newest Crystallim had reached the last point before stabilization. The spider girl’s core no longer blinked like a computer that could not make up its mind. It now had a steady, but dim glow. It would probably be another few hours before she completely stabilized.

“I wonder if she’ll get along well with the others?” he asked softly. It was enough to keep his mind off of the curvy Alraune who had wrapped her body around him in such a sweet and unforgiving embrace.
