6.04 – Recharging I

6.04 – Recharging I

The fights continued. Their next set of opponents was a group of small fire elementals hopping around on three legs, trailing molten goo and flinging globs of magma. Zoey found them aggravatingly difficult to hit, and so, embarrassingly, she quickly ended up using her area-of-effect spells rather than her more precise projectiles. To be fair, Maddy also had some problems landing her confusion darts. If their mobility gave a wayfarer like her problems, then Zoey could be somewhat forgiven.

The group encounter was more of a struggle than the first bulkier opponent since she and Maddy were less suited to handling them, but they eventually won, if with some scrapes and burns. The shard hadn't allowed them to keep their health potions, but small injuries were easy to ignore. They faded within an hour, a product of their growing stats.

Zoey was still getting used to that. The changes to what made up 'normal'. Most people had far more time to adjust to their newfound strengths, but Zoey's unusual growth meant she was progressing without a proper period of acclimation.

As Zoey had predicted, her Lust burned away quickly, especially with her liberal usage of Burst. The upside was that recharging wasn't all that complicated. Easier than mana, in many ways. If, admittedly, it introduced delays to their expedition through the magma caverns. Plus, broaching the subject felt the slightest bit awkward, however much Maddy had been informed of the situation beforehand.

"So ..." Zoey started casually. "I'm about tapped out, I think. Probably time for a recharge."

Maddy glanced her way, then, after a second, flushed as she realized what Zoey meant. "Oh. Right. I almost forgot about that."

"Yeah." They had been on a pretty steady combat rhythm. Easy for other stuff to fade in importance while fighting for their life.

Maddy's eyes flicked down to Zoey's crotch, then quickly skittered back up. "About that. I was thinking. Isn't the suit going to make things, um, kinda difficult?"

Zoey had also been considering that whole situation. "Honestly, it's surprisingly stretchy. And it doesn't stop much sensation. I think it was designed to—not be much of an issue, when it comes to all of that." She idly ran a finger down her arm. The feeling was only barely muted, still noticeable that there was something in the way, but surprisingly tactile. Not far off from bare skin. Less even than a thin condom—though Zoey had worn surprisingly few of those, considering how much she'd been getting around, so she wouldn't completely know.

"There's that," Maddy said. "But I actually meant more, um. You know." She made a crude jerking-off gesture. Zoey's amusement rose at the awkwardness of the motion—and at how Maddy blushed at herself. "When you finish. Where's it gonna go?"

Zoey paused. "That's ... a good point." For some reason, she hadn't thought of it.

She pursed her lips. What would happen? Would she be stuck with a bulging load of cum in her latex bodysuit for the rest of the delve? That didn't sound awesome, for obvious reasons. But surely a sex-themed shard had a solution for such an inevitability—since there seemed to be no way to remove the bodysuit. Would it absorb her cum, then? Or was the theme of the shard actually that cruel to her, that Zoey wasn't allowed to cum without making a permanent mess of herself?

"I suppose I don't actually have to finish, to recharge," Zoey said slowly.

"You don't?"

"The phrasing is, Harvest: Perform erotic acts onto self or others to harvest Lust. Bonded targets provide greater yield. So no, we just have to do stuff, together. Finishing is extra." If admittedly, not getting to reach climax wouldn't be ideal. She'd quickly get flustered over the course of a full shard.

"Oh," Maddy said.

"But," Zoey said, a grin starting to spread across her lips. "Maybe I'll just be taking care of you, for now, then." She walked forward, approaching the smaller girl—who backed up in retreat, her eyes widening, a delightfully timid instinctive response.

"N-Now?"

"Now," Zoey confirmed. "No point in waiting." She reached the other girl, then grabbed her by the hips and hoisted her into the air. Again, Zoey was shocked at how easy it was. Maddy was a small woman, but even so, she weighed almost nothing in the face of Zoey's improved strength.

"Well, since you asked so nicely."

She slipped her fingers free of the girl's pussy, then—holding Maddy's eyes as she did so—licked the glistening digits clean. Maddy watched her intently, face flushed.

"You taste amazing," Zoey told her.

"T-Thank you?"

Grabbing Maddy's thighs and shuffling backward, Zoey positioned her face between the girl's legs. Maddy flushed, her eagerness clear in the way she watched with wide eyes, chest heaving up and down. Zoey leaned in, and Maddy's scent filled her as she breathed in deep. The latex didn't mute her smell at all. Zoey took her time, savoring the moment, before lowering herself and placing her lips on Maddy's pussy. She kissed her, then ran a slow lick up her slit, wiggling her tongue in from the base to the tip of Maddy's opening, feeling her lips part around her.

Maddy groaned at the sensation of Zoey's warm tongue sliding across her sensitive flesh. Zoey lapped at her eagerly, licking her from bottom to top with broad strokes of her tongue. She could taste Maddy's arousal soaking through the suit.

Zoey moved her attention upward, flicking her tongue over Maddy's clit and sucking on it gently. The girl arched her back, moaning as she writhed beneath her. Zoey teased her, swirling her tongue around the sensitive spot before moving back down to lap at her entrance. Her cock strained against the latex, aching to be released, but Zoey was intoxicated on Maddy.

Maddy's hands found their way to Zoey's head, tugging her in closer. Zoey obliged, burying her face in Maddy's latex-covered pussy and devouring her hungrily. She probed at her opening with her tongue, tasting her delicious juices before, finally, plunging inside, latex stretching to conform. Maddy threw her head back, back arching. Zoey fucked her, thrusting in and out of her with her tongue, enjoying the way the material stretched and contracted with each movement. Maddy's taste filled her, the latex not dampening the experience in the slightest. If anything, amplifying it, somehow, if simply from the strangeness of how the rubber-like material stretched for the two of them. It was definitely one of the stranger ways Zoey had eaten a girl out, but she couldn't get enough.

"Z-Zoey, please," Maddy begged. "I'm—I'm close."

Zoey obliged, sucking and licking at the girl with renewed vigor. Maddy's cries grew louder as she approached her climax. Then, finally, the smaller girl stiffened. Her whole body tensed as she cried out, her voice echoing off the cavern walls as she came on Zoey's tongue. Zoey held onto her thighs, not slowing as she rode through the girl's intense release. Maddy's muscles contracted around her tongue, squeezing as she came. After what seemed like forever, Maddy sagged into the ground, her body going limp.

"Gods," she groaned after a long moment, heavy panting filling the air. "That was—that was amazing. How do you do that?"

Zoey sat up and wiped her mouth. "Practice?" she said. "It's easy when you're squirming so much. You did more work than I did, almost."

Maddy blushed. "You're too good at it. You embarrassed me."

"I did?"

"How long was that? Like two minutes?" She pouted at Zoey. "I'm not usually that fast."

Zoey just laughed.

"A-Anyway, are you—um, recharged, then? Not fully, right? You need a little more?"

Zoey paused, and Maddy blushed at how obvious she'd been. She clearly didn't want their recovery break to be over.

Grinning, Zoey said, "I'm not filled up, yet, no."

"Then, do you think I could try something?" Her eyes flicked down to Zoey's crotch, then quickly back up. "I'm kinda curious."
