Eventually, the group crossed the border into the Riot Kingdom.

Things seemed to be okay so far, and they weren't stopped at any towns that they test-ran, so, feeling that it was safe, they moved ahead to Karolen.

…

…

“Thank fuck you're finally here!” Carter says as he closes in to give Serah a big hug. Taking the liberty while he could, he took a deep breath and made sure to push his chest out as far as he good, hoping for some soft resistance.

Serah lets out a chuckle. “Is it me or are you getting braver?” She asks amused. She didn’t mind the pushiness so much at the moment, and in the back of her mind, a small crack seemed to open, almost ready to accept Carter in a way that he very much hoped for. Ah, fuck it. Why not? She says, confirming her decision. She leans in and puts her lips to Carter’s ear. “Wait for me tonight. Just for today, you’ll have a chance.” She whispers gently, allowing the hot air to brush against Carter’s skin.

Carter’s eyes widen. Immediately, he was fully erect, and he didn’t know why, but he was already ready to cum. “Fuck. I have to go.” He says before immediately turning to go to his room. The tension was too much and he had to release the pressure.

Samantha gives Serah a weird look. “What did you tell him?” She asks, somewhat worried.

Serah shrugs and lets out a sigh. “What can I say? Every dog has its day. And in this world… If you seek… You always find…” She says, amused.

Samantha shakes her head. “You’re such a slut. You better still be ready for my turn tonight. Now that we’ll have some comfortable beds available…” She says, insinuatingly.

Serah frowns. “What am I? A piece of meat? Just have fun with Nickie. I have a feeling it will be Carter’s first time, so I’m going to thoroughly enjoy him, and squeeze out as much as I can.” She says before letting out a laugh.

Samantha’s eyes widen. “You’re a beast! He’s just a boy, Serah! Have some mercy!” She exclaims.

Serah lets out an evil laugh. “I’ve always loved popping cherries. Especially when they’re so willing.” She says relentlessly, without a care.

Nickie shakes her head and looks to Samantha. “That’s why she’s the mommy and you’re the big sister.” She says before letting out a sigh, mourning the ways of the world.

Samantha’s brows furrow. “You know what! I’m not letting you do it! It will be me who visits him tonight, harlot!” Samantha exclaims, firm in her decision.

Serah’s eyes widen. “Are you serious? Why?” She asks, confused.

Samantha lets out a blush. “If you must know! I was originally interested in him in the first place! It’s just that…” She says before looking to Serah. “I got a little distracted is all!” She says, feeling a little shame for indulging.

Serah’s eyes widen. “Are you serious about this? Are you going to go all the way with it?” She asks, somewhat in doubt.

Samantha lifts her chin, looking a little smug. “His family is actually a perfect match for mine, and he’s the first-born, so even if he doesn’t become the governor of Sapphire City, he’ll still be a Earl. My father would approve.” She says, ready to jump into the fire.

Serah’s shoulders slump. “Does this mean I can’t pop his cherry?” She asks, very disappointed.

Samantha lets out a harrumph. “If anyone’s going to be popping any cherries, it will be this beautiful woman!” She says as she points a thumb to her chest.

Nickie doesn’t look impressed. “What’s so good about cherries? If he can last longer than four minutes, I’d be surprised.” She comments without a care.

“It’s not about that at all! I’m establishing a relationship! Not everything is about sex!” Samantha exclaims.

Serah and Nickie look to each other before giving Samantha a blank stare. “I guess.” They both say, their thoughts in sync.

Samantha’s face becomes beet red. “You two are impossible!” She yells before storming off.
