‘How am I supposed to sleep like this?’

After a few hours Inara had turned in bed and wrapped around me like i was a hugging pillow.

She was resting her breasts on my chest while holding her arm around me, her face laying in the nook of my shoulder. And her leg draped around my feet.

Inara was considerably bigger than Lyria, and her slight smile and drooling face looked surprisingly cute on her sensual face.

I kinda figured that she had some issues with male contact, but it seems she is traumatized by it. The reaction she had earlier was kinda extreme.

It hurt my heart watching her break down like that. She always seemed so confident and relaxed. Sporting her mischievous grin while eyeing me with her predatory gaze, that was the Inara I knew. But when I hugged her, or after the morning with Lyria she showed some cracks in her armor. And tonight it completely broke down.

She was trying her hardest to get over her issues, it’s clear that she wanted to step beyond them. But things like that aren’t easy to resolve.

She showed it with the fact that she invited me to sleep with her, it couldn’t have been easy. And even after all that she still wanted to at least sleep in the same bed.

Yet when she undressed I couldn't even keep calm, her big luscious ass when she took of her pants was so tantalizing. And when she released the bandaged around her chest seeing them peek out on the sides even from behind was to much.

I felt bad thinking about fucking her even after what happened. Quickly jumping in bed and trying to clear my mind and sleeping felt like the gentleman thing to do. But still my mind was in the gutter, and now I’m in this situation...

Somehow I managed to fall asleep, since I woke up by a startled Inara who did a cute cry while jumping off my chest.

“Good morning.”

I smiled at her while trying to keep my focus on her eyes., it wasn’t easy. She opened and than closed her mouth, before hiding her face in her hands.

She still hadn’t covered herself she was only hiding her face from me. I guess she was embarrassed by yesterday, it’s understandable considering everything.

I stretched my hand and gently scratched around her ears. I wanted to do it again after I did it the first time.

Inara did a slight jump when I touched her, but she actually pressed her head into my hand when she realized what I was doing.

I could hear a slight purr build up from her while she snuggled my hand.

She looked so cute, like a scared kitten who finally found the joy of petting.

Except for the extremely sexy bombshell part.

After a short while I sat up from the bed and dressed with my back turned towards her. I didn’t want her to see my morning wood. It would be to crass showing it now, better to take things slow.

When I turned around she was hugging the cover against her chest while dreamily looking at me. I smiled while winking at her.

No matter how much I wanted to look at her getting dressed I decided to leave the room and give her some time for herself.

Nyla was sitting down eating breakfast with Cassandra and Lyria when Alex came downstairs. She got a proud grin on her face while thinking about how Inara was always a step ahead of them. She was really dependable no matter what situation occurred.

It didn’t take long before Inara also joined them.

“We are leaving for the guild after we have eaten.”

Cassandra promptly announced after Inara sat down.

“Uhhhm, I don’t think we all need to go to the guild. So I thought I could stay home with Alex?”

Lyria hesitantly proposed while slightly fidgeting.

Nyla saw a weird look on Cassandras face, she was always so stoic. So it was weird seeing slight twitches around her eye.

“That’s fine, if it’s what you want.”

Lyria happily nodded to Cassandras reply while eagerly blurting out.

“Yes!”

It was nice seeing Lyria become so animated since Alex came. She was always so shy and quiet before. Everything was going so great this last month. Nyla grinned to herself happy for her friends.

They left for the guild shortly after.

“Hey Inara, how was it?”

Nyla curiously asked Inara.

“How was what?”

“You know, you and Alex last night.”

Inara jolted while her face went stiff.

“Ehhhh… Of course it was amazing. We did it for so long, and uhmm I made him go weak in the knees at the end...”

Nyla was nodding along while listening attentively to her, she looked at Inara with admiration while asking.

“As expected. Could you maybe teach me what to do? Since I never did it before I’m kinda scared if I screw up...”

There was a mute pause before Inara answered her.

“Well… You just have to be confident, and take the lead… And if your unsure of yourself he won’t mind it. Alex really is an angel, there is actually nothing to worry about...”

Nyla couldn’t understand the melancholic look that Inara got when she said the last part.

It didn’t take them long before they entered the guild house. There were mercenaries loitering around the first floor lobby. Some gathering around the bar in the corner, while others were crowding the mission board. The lines for the guild attendants only had a few people in it. As most people had finished their business earlier in the day, or would come back in the evening to report and deliver their requests.

“Hey it seems like the freak show is still alive and kicking. Thought you girls died since I haven’t seen you in a long time.”

Nyla scowled, she was the last person they wanted to meet. Roxanne grinned at them while her party laughed.

“We took a grade three mission that requested some rare materials. Now if you'll excuse us.”

Cassandra still upheld some decorum with the asshole, but she didn’t have a pleased look on her face.

“Oooo, the lump squad thinks they are hot shit now that they did their first proper mission.”

Nyla was fuming inside, she clenched her hands while her knuckles turned white. Glaring at Roxanne she was really itching to punch her face in.

“What? You wanna go? I'm always open for exchanging some pointers at the practice ground. You know, help you out a little.”

She got a sneer while staring directly back at Nyla.

Cassandra put a hand on her shoulder.

“We are busy right now, come on let's go.”

She turned away from the bitch and walked towards a counter. They reluctantly followed.

Nyla really hated the fact that they didn’t stand a chance against Roxanne. As long the other side was stronger they couldn’t do anything to stop the harassment.

“Hahahaha, I see the chicken shits are living up to their name again.”

She couldn’t help but get the last word in while her party was laughing and enjoying their drinks.

Their business didn’t take to long since most of the materials already had standardized prices and the reward for the mission was already set.

When they were exiting the building Inara spoke up.

“I don’t think we should take high profile missions for a while, it’s better to enjoy our windfall for now and just take on simple extermination missions around the farms.”

“We should discus this with Lyria as well before we decide. But if we go for it, then it can only be for a short while. And meanwhile I expect all of you to put more emphasis on personal training and not just relax at home.”

We were sitting in the dinning room while studying. I was overly conscious of Lyria now, her sweat smell, cute face and clear blue eyes dominated my focus. She was sitting right up to me while I was reading the book. And I had to force myself not to turn my eyes downward or get lost in her eyes when I looked at her for clarification.

‘Why are you like this? You know that learning the language is the most important thing for you right now. How do you expect to learn magic and have actual conversations and real connection with them without it?’

Admonishing myself while I refocused on the book I slowly continued reading.

It was kinda embarrassing studying from a picture book of all things. But I guess with no real way of translating anything between us makes this the best choice I had.

We were slowly making progress the two of us, and I was actually proud of how far I’ve come in this month. I could understand a lot of the basic conversations. It was a lot harder to talk and read though, so I still had ways to go.

Turning back towards Lyria for clarification she blanked for a second while dreamily gazing at me. Getting a slight blush on her face she quickly answered with a higher pitch tone than usual.

“I guess I’m not the only one having a hard time focusing.’

I got a slight smile while musing to myself.

It didn’t take long before we both ended up gazing at each other, I forgot what I was even asking about when I turned.

Seeing her cute pink lips reminded me of her sweat taste when we kissed. And it seemed as I wasn’t the only one as her dainty tongue peeked out and sensually licked her lips while longingly gazing at me.

I couldn’t help it anymore I slowly bent forward going for the kiss.

She reciprocated by bending forward while placing her hand on my thigh.

There wasn’t any slow build up, we started vigorously. She instantly shoved her tongue in my mouth while stroking my thigh closer and closer towards my groin.

I could feel a light current running from my head through my body towards my crotch.

My hand slowly went up from the side of her slim stomach towards her peeks.

“Hey! We’re back.”

Nyla yelled when she boisterously entered the house.

We both jumped and quickly scrambled away from each other.

I picked up the book while they entered the dinning room.

“Welcome back.”

Lyria squeaked out while her face was completely red.

Cassandra narrowed her eyes while looking at us. Nyla just looked curiously on Lyria before asking.

“Are you okay? Did something happen?”

“Nothing, I'm fine.”

Lyria blurted out.

Meanwhile Inara was intensely staring at me.

“You seem kinda flustered, but if you say your fine... Anyway we got everything sorted, we have enough money now to buy a few potions for all of us and manage for a month or two.”

Cassandra skeptically said the first part before promptly getting back on track.

I could actually follow most of the words, but it was more of me filling the blanks through context than true understanding.

They discussed more about what they would do, and they made a decision on spending five days at home training and relaxing, before taking a quick two day extermination mission.

When night time came I saw the longing look on Lyrias face, I was also eager to be with her again.

Swallowing I decided to sleep with Lyria tonight, Inara surely needed time after last nights debacle.

Walking towards her I smiled at her while taking her hand in mine.

I could see her face heating up and a look of anticipation suffused her face.

“We go together sleep?”

I asked with moot confidence.

She nodded while a joyful smile bloomed on her face.
