We all got back to the camp, and I put a smiling Mikota down. I stepped out of my suit and felt relief to feel the breeze of the cave air hit my sweat-soaked body. The temperature inside that hot box almost cooked me in my suit, even with the internal cooling system.
"Dave? Why are you covered in blue lines like that?"
I turn to see Sasha walking toward me in her UW issue suit. Her long blue hair cascaded down and over her chest, framing her beautiful face. I only just realized that I had no clothing on but my briefs! No wonder she was looking me up and down like a piece of meat!
"Like what you see? I got a supercharge from Tama, and it woke something up inside of me."
"Maybe I want to see just a bit more?" Sasha gave me a seductive smile as she walked over and to my arm.
Sasha led to a table that had that oh so familiar smell of Catsect Kabobs. I sat down with Sasha, and then Maxine and Kyrina sat on my other side. I dug in and ate till my stomach hurt. The other women of my recent party on the other side and end of the table ate the same. The women beside didn't eat but told us of what they had learned, which was next to nothing.
Maxine found out from our tiger 'friends,' Kret and Tarclaw, there would be over three thousand pairs from across the galaxy. That was over six thousand different people trying to kill us, plus whatever the King had planned. All would depend on how our upgrades went. As for anything else learn, it was literally nothing.
Not a breath of the King's plan had been a leak, and every year, the Primal God Alexander changed the course just before the start of the race. We were going to have to rely on skill and teamwork, but the excessive number of people in one place would be a problem at the start. Kyrina had found out a bit of info to make me rest a bit easier.
"Each of us needs to get a tattoo stamp that fades once we leave the city dome. If anyone attacks another race before then, it instantly marks you, and you start to glow. Once this happens, you will be targeted for death by Sand Primal's like snakes made from the planet and controlled by Alexander himself. No one escapes them, according to most people we talked to, so it's not worth causing trouble."
"So it's just a race through a maze? that doesn't seem too bad. What's the catch?"
"The catch is that by the time everyone gets through the maze, there will only be about three to four hundred total contestants. The labyrinth is alive and controlled by the god. Only the most skilled can survive the gauntlet; this is also why no one fights at the start," Maxine explained.
"After we will have to run the rest of the way, and the route will be marked out is all we could find out about the rest of the race," Sasha said, getting up and then offered me her hand.
I took in and stood, a bit confused, and was led off without a word. I wanted to ask where we were going, but I stayed quiet and followed, hoping we were heading to a bed. To my surprise, there was a steam group of tubs and standing blind.
I smiled despite how tired I was; the memory jogged my senses awake to these scenes in Shadeholm.
Sasha turned to me with a big smile.
"Let me wash your back?"
I didn't argue, and I just stepped into the hot water after tossing my torn briefs to the side. I could feel the grim slide off me I the hot water seared my skin. Soon, my body got used to the heat, and I was able to relax as Sasha used an item of clothing to soap and wash my back.
Soon, I heard the voices of the other women coming over to the area. Mikota came running in first, and she locked onto me and pointed a finger at me. I point back at myself with a raised eyebrow, looking from side to side jokingly, but I was snapped forward as Mikota started, take her suit off.
She pulled the suit apart, letting her small breasts fall out and shake as she pulled her arms out of the suit quickly. The rest of the suit came flying off, and she was running for my tub; her small breast jiggling caused me to be thoroughly distracted. I made no effort to stop Mikota as she jumped in my tub with me, splashing Sasha and me, but the water didn't even get Sasha wet, so she just laughed.
Soon the rest of the girls came and got changed more civilized and went behind the blind. Suddenly, Mikota turned her back to me and pushed up my chest, putting her back into my face. I wasn't sure what she was doing until I felt her hand grab my now stiff shaft and guiding herself onto it.
I held in a groan of pleasure as I could feel Mikota's body shaking as I slid deep into her. She laid her head back against mine and whispered *Ssssh* in my ear as she started to gyrate her hips slowly. The other girls were getting into the tubs now; this girl was going to get us caught, and who knew what would happen then!
I started to think of the orgy that might happen when Maxine came up to our tub and caused me quickly to un-form those thoughts. Instantly, Mikota relaxed and stopped moving, smiling up at Maxine. Wow, this wasn't awkward at all. I was balls deep in Mikota, and now Maxine wants to talk.
"Tomorrow, would you like to have that sand bath before we go?"
"Mmmhmm sounds great!"
"Okay, well, I'll let you two get back at it then."
I wanted to argue, but Maxine grinned and turned faster than I could open my mouth. Mikota pulled off me quickly, making me gasp, and turned her body around to face me. She stared at me with a red face panting and then slid me back in. Mikota looked around with a glare at the other girls, and then I heard a lot of splashing, and then the toweled girls run out of the room giggling.
"Now, I hope they run fast because I want you to make me scream!"
