AN: ... Its a little hot in here.

Chapter 58.4: Bandit's Cove

Several exciting minutes had passed while the trio looted the treasure room. Admittedly, the best stuff that the bandits had was probably kept with them, but given what they had found the prospects for the day looked more and more interesting.

“What’s the verdict?” Scott asked Ero.

“Still don’t see anyone. I wonder where all the bandits are?” asked the fairy seriously.

Scott nodded to her. That was a bit concerning to him as well. Had they just entered during a time when most of them were out, or was something else going on? Either way, they needed to be careful.

“That’s the last of it. We should sort it later.” said Rhea after she stuffed a jewel encrusted Tiara into her inventory.

“Most of what I saw looked more interesting that it was, but I want to keep the gauntlets.” said Scott.

“That’s fine. None of this is really of use to me outside of what I can get for it. We won’t need even that once we transfer over to the other server.” said Rhea.

“So, what you’re saying is that you’re going to let me have all of the pretty, pretty, things?” asked Scott before he clasped his hands, lifted them to just below his chin, and then batted his eyelashes at her.

Rhea snorted loudly then then placed her hand over her face. She shook her head and said, “Goof.”

“Well, be that as it may. Is there anything that you found that you think is better than what I’m wearing?” said Scott.

“Not really. Though, there is a ring of mana regeneration that you should probably take.” said Rhea.

“Oo-oooh!” Scott jogged over to her then held out his hand.

Rhea laughed then checked through her inventory until she found the ring. After retrieving it she handed it to him.

“Thanks, Rhea.” said Scott before he gave her a soft kiss on the nose.

She lowered her eyelids, and her nostrils flared slightly. “I should give you shiny things more often.”

“Yes, yes you should.” replied Scott before he took her hand in his. They shared a tender moment of silence before Scott turned to check his new item.

Scott’s eyes nearly bulged from their sockets. “One mana per second, and its worth over two million Fayth!”

Rhea grinned at him. “I thought that you’d like it.”

“Why not tell me about it from the start?” he asked her. He was almost as surprised by that as he was by the fact that someone would just leave the thing lying around. What kind of things did these bandits keep in their actual inventory? He could loot whatever they were wearing, but their inventories were not accessible to him.

“It is... really pretty.” said Rhea before she looked away.

Scott smiled at her. “Would you rather wear it?”

“No, you need it more. I rarely have to use any of my abilities other than my elemental sword magic.” said Rhea.

Scott took her hand and raised it up. He kissed her softly on the fingers then said, “Someday, I’ll return the favor.”

Rhea smiled softly for a moment, but then her eyes widened. The realization of what he had just said had filled her with great joy. “Scott!” cried Rhea before she wrapped her arms around him. It was not every day that she heard him so openly admit that he would give her a ring one day soon.

Ero placed her hand to her lips then laughed softly. It was nice to see them getting along so well. She enjoyed it so much that she did not even break the mood by asking when she was going to get a ring.

Rhea pulled back slightly and looked into Scott’s eyes. She could see her face reflected in them, they were so clear and bright.

Scott gazed at the larger of the women whom he loved then gently leaned forward. His lips parted slightly and then so did Rhea’s. Gently, those lips met in a soft and loving embrace of their own.

Their noses lightly brushed against each other even as their hands slipped up and down along each other’s back. One of Scott’s hands slipped up to cradle the back of her head, even while Rhea’s hands slipped down to firmly clasp his manly rear.

They made soft little moaning noises and continued for far longer than even Ero could tolerate it without being involved. The tiny little naked fairy raised her dainty fist to her lips then politely coughed.

She was ignored in favor of those hands moving around again. Scott’s lower hand slipped further down to slide between the cleft of Rhea’s magnificent backside. Rhea’s eyes fluttered open and she gasped softly into his mouth then gripped his ass tightly in response.

Ero took a deep breath then snorted. She dropped down then fluttered at the same level as their faces. After another deep breath she loudly cleared her throat once more.

Rhea’s head flew back and Scott’s lips left hers and moved to her neck. The elf maiden hopped into the air then wrapped her legs luxuriously around Scott’s hips. She began to pant softly and made cute little moans of happiness that caused Ero’s left eyelid to start twitching.

The fairy’s lips screwed together in an annoyed pout and then she took in a deep, slow, breath. “Get a room already!”

Scott and Rhea both immediately stopped, their eyes snapped wide and they froze in place. After a moment they slowly turned their heads toward Ero, Rhea’s thighs still wrapped around Scott’s waist.

“Uh...” said Scott.

“It was making me fairy jealous! I can’t even change my size again for another day or two, so I’m stuck waiting till we go to sleep...” said Ero in annoyance.

“Oh, Ero...” said Rhea gently. She hadn’t really thought about how this would affect her.

“I’m sorry... I know you love each other, and me being the size of a doll leaves me out of a lot of things, but... but...” said Ero with a soft shudder.

Scott reached up, plucked her from the air then promptly blew a raspberry on her tummy. Rhea’s eyes widened in surprise, and Ero gasped loudly at the sudden boldness of her fairy best friend.

“Rhea, I know you won’t want to hear this... but...” said Scott.

The blue hair elf sighed softly then turned around. She crossed her arms over her chest then loudly said, “Go ahead...Do what you must...”

Ero blinked then found that there were even better places to receive a raspberry. She squealed in excitement at the surprising sensations. Rhea did her best not to look back, though she had guess what had just happened. She bit her lower lip and struggled to fight down her jealousy. She loved Ero, but she was not good at sharing.

A few minutes and a dozen raspberries later a thoroughly satisfied little fairy fluttered past Rhea. Her entire body was bright red from the shameful joy that she had experienced.

“Happy now?” asked Rhea with more curtness than she wanted to give.

Ero gasped once then fell briefly before she started to flap her wings once more. “Fairy much so...” she panted. Her cute little legs scissored back and forth while she tried to fly in a straight line. She, of course, failed miserably and fluttered about like she was drunk.

Rhea tried not to laugh, but she could not help it. Her sweet laughter died quickly when she felt warm masculine arms slide around her.

She leaned back gently then whispered, “You would embrace me so brazenly after making her so happy she can’t even fly straight?”

Scott kissed the side of Rhea’s neck and she giggled gently. He said, “If you’re so upset, then maybe you should make her feel better about being such a cute little fairy next time.”

The bridge of Rhea’s nose darkened then turn slightly pink. “I doubt that you would turn away.”

Scott kissed her warmly on the ear. “No, certainly not. I would have been making you feel better.”

She started to say something but he gave her a rather telling raspberry to the neck that spoke volumes concerning his intent. She closed her eyes and then laughed sweetly. “Well, I suppose that would be alright then.”

“You know, maybe we should finish off these bandits before we go around slobbering on each other.” said Scott lightly, after a rather intense and heated moment passed.

“I vote for slobber!” called out Ero from her new perch. She had found a nice rocky outcropping to lie down on.

They all had a nice laugh after hearing that. Deep in the heart of murder-inclined bandit territory, they truly believed that everything was right with the world.
