Chapter 343: Language of the gods (NSFW)
Mason felt Eve's presence all around him even before he reached the tree. It didn't give him any kind of dungeon prompt, and he entered her tree through something like a regular door. Albeit a magic door built into a giant tree.
The huge, living walls of the great tree formed a kind of tunnel, and he walked towards the still singing voice of its mistress.
Was he still in the fey, he wondered? Or was this the ‘real’ world? Somewhere in between? He honestly had no idea.
In here, purred the great tree's voice as Mason reached a warm cavern.
It looked much the same as before, and not so different than a nymph grove. Eve had a much smaller body of water than the nymphs, though it had grown considerably since last time. Before it wasn't much more than a hot tub, now it was more like a swimming pool.
She also had actual furniture, mostly made of wood that seemed grown out of the tree itself. She rose from behind a small table, a silky grey skirt around her waist, not much more than a leafy bra covering her considerable breasts.
"Welcome, Champion." She smiled and held out her arms as she came towards him. Mason tried to keep his eyes off her body, because he really did need to learn more about druidic magic. But he’d forgotten how unearthly gorgeous she was, and he was definitely in trouble.
He closed the gap between them, and Eve wrapped her arms around his chest and breathed as she closed her eyes.
"I missed your scent. And your strength."
"I missed you too," he said, feeling a little awkward. Not because he didn't feel affection for her, but because he'd been so busy he honestly didn't have time to miss anything.
"There's no need for false words with me," she said, still hugging him. She pulled back and trailed a finger across his lips. "It would be enough to say: I'm pleased to see you."
Mason cleared his throat and probably blushed a little. He smiled.
"That's definitely true."
Eve grinned and took his hand, walking towards a kind of couch. She settled him and started gathering cups and plates from a nearby table, bending over right in front of him until the almost translucent material of the skirt showed a lack of underwear. Mason took a deep breath, wondering if it was just an accident or if things were going to be moving in a particular...
Eve came back and settled herself in his lap. Which he supposed settled the question.
"These grapes grow even in the snow," she said, lifting one from a cup to feed him. "Winter comes soon. You will find it harsh in this forest. You may need to learn a few things to feed your people, yes?"
Mason didn't bother trying to be coy. He just opened his mouth as Eve pushed in the grape, and a decent length of her finger. He chewed, and probably kissed a little. Eve grinned and leaned down to kiss him, moaning as he kissed her back.
"I understand you have something to teach me," he said with a little chastisement. And also to try and keep his brain working.
"True." Eve sighed and chewed a little of the grape she'd stolen from his mouth. "You don't mind if I stay here, do you?"
"I'll try to focus."
"You've learned a rune from the nymphs, yes?"
Mason nodded, and Eve smiled.
"Druidic magic, as you call it, has always used symbols. That is because its true origin is the language of the gods. We use their alphabet, just as we use their pathways. Everything they left us holds great power, including their words."
Not being able to see what she was doing definitely added a little spice. He could only stare and guess as he felt her lips and tongue testing and teasing his tip and shaft. She went lower and played with his balls, and he groaned as she started sucking.
Then she was back up and swallowing his length in hungry strokes, making sounds like she was eating her favorite meal. And maybe she was.
Mason kept his eyes locked on the snow, deciding he was pretty comfortable with this one taking a long time.
"Every rune becomes more difficult," Eve explained as she pulled back and stroked him with her hand. "The language of the gods is complex, and will fill your spirit as well as your mind."
"And what will you fill?" Mason said, loving the sound of Eve's little laugh.
She answered by swallowing him whole, taking his not insignificant length entirely down to the root without trouble. He groaned as the warmth and wetness engulfed him, then squeezed, as if she was intentionally working him with her tongue and throat.
Eve beat the rune. As she kept stroking and taking him all the way, the pressure built and Mason got too impatient to hold it. He released and coated Eve's throat, cumming while he was buried entirely. She didn't even flinch, just waiting until he was mostly finished before pulling up and milking the rest with a few satisfied smacks.
"Keep staring, Champion," she said, still slurping and playing as he softened. "It may be some time yet."
Mason honestly didn't know how long it was. His mind pretty much blanked after the orgasm, the staring getting considerably easier.
Eve gave him the occasional drink, laughing as she poured water down her chest and let him drink from her nipples without looking. Still he watched the ice. Then she knelt down and kept on sucking him, her desire and endurance seemingly endless.
The time to discover an ice rune, Mason decided, would be measured in orgasms. Eve pulled back and laughed like a girl with a sprinkler when he came again, jerking most of it onto her face before scooping it up. And continuing.
The next one took much longer. He felt drunk by the time she finished him again. This time it was all business, bobbing and pumping down his shaft like she was drilling for oil.
The shape of the ice rune formed in blue letters as he cried out and filled her mouth. Blue lines whispered in his mind of endless winter, the cold of space, the frozen heart of nature's indifference. He blinked and finally looked down. It was quite the contrast to Eve.
His beautiful lover's face was all wetness and pleasure. Her eyes were closed as she licked and rubbed her lips against his cock, smiling mouth open as she played. She was only wearing her skirt now, incredible breasts out and slick with her own spit.
"Did you see it?" she asked, giggling as she slapped him against her cheek.
Mason put a hand to his face and nodded as he tried to stay conscious. His head was starting to ache, and he winced and reached for the cup.
"I think you dehydrated me."
"It's the rune," Eve explained, turning a little more serious. "I'm surprised you aren't suffering more. To learn two so quickly is difficult. I thought I might...help distract you." She groaned and squeezed his shaft again, tonguing his tip for the last few drops.
Mason laughed and held his head. "You definitely did. It hurts. But in the grand scheme of my suffering, it doesn't even make the scale."
"Yes. Such is your fate, I fear. But you are very powerful, Champion," Eve said, stroking him again, as if actually wanting more. "Especially since you are more ranger than druid. It should have been even more difficult."
"Well," Mason said, no intention of stopping her. "I have two runes now. What the hell do I do with them."
Eve opened her mouth with surprise (and possibly glee) as Mason actually started hardening again in her hands.
"Do not fear, Champion. I will teach you."
