Steven: "Do you want to come in?"Rayna: "I"d hate to impose on your friends so much, Steven."
Steven: "Nonsense, you"re apart of our group."
Rayna: "I-I am?"
She glances up at me, surprised.
Steven: "Yeah, we enjoy your company. Now come on!"
I got behind and guided her inside the cabin. Everyone else was hanging out in the living room and we gleefully announce our return. It took my afternoon away from being in the tower and I was more than happy to go home.
Steven: "We"re back!"
Niroja: "Welcome back!"
Dai-tai comes flying out of the kitchen and actually lifts me off the floor.
Steven: "Dai-tai, put me down!"
Just how strong is this girl?!
Every time she does something new that takes me by surprise.
Young Mi: "Welcome back, Steven."
Madelyn: "Rayna, you came… You can sit, though it"s not much. If you want, you can stay for dinner; it"s Steven"s turn tonight."
Rayna: "Thank you, I would love to stay for dinner."
I went back into the kitchen with Dai-tai. Rayna sat down with the others and I had to figure out what to cook.
Steven: "So, what am I cooking..? Food..? Uhh…"
Normally, I know exactly what to cook, but this kitchen is loaded with ingredients and dry foods. It"s actually the most food I"ve seen in a kitchen for a while that it"s making me indecisive.
Dai-tai: "Why don"t we cook pasta? Achille stopped by with a small crate of it for us. He also gave us futons for everyone, so there"s no longer the shortage in beds."
The crate had lasagne, linguini, and elbows. All packaged neatly in burlap. I had the idea of making lasagna, something I"ve been craving for a while.
For the first time in months, I got to enjoy cooking actual meals, the way I like it, for everyone again.
Cooking a lasagna won"t be easy, it"ll be at least 3 hours of hard work. I"m already missing a Dutch oven and had to improvise by using a pan to cover a pot.
Since it was going to take a while, I figured an appetizer would keep everyone from raiding the kitchen. Though, when I went to ask what they"d want, Rayna had all the girls in some kind of meditation.
Maybe she would keep them preoccupied.
It was half an hour of prepping everything and another hour and a half just to simmer everything. I went to work on the lasagne, cooking and draining them. Layer by layer, the lasagna started coming together and I soon have a good looking meal ready to be cooked.
If only I had a salamander, this would be easier. I sure am missing the old restaurant. [1]
All was left was to put in the oven when I ran into another problem. Since I"m using an oven, I"d normally cover it in aluminum foil to keep it from drying out.
The problem being that aluminum foil doesn"t exist here.
After some improvising, I figured a bigger baking pan flipped upside down would do it pretty well. Which it did, and cooked it for 30 minutes before removing and going for another 30.
I finally called out my hungry group to come and get dinner. They each came in one by one and eagerly grabbed their plate before going to the living room to eat.
Madelyn: "All this waiting better be worth it."
Steven: "I wanted it to be done right."
Madelyn: "Isn"t there a broil setting? You could"ve cooked it faster."
Steven: "I"m not trying to burn the cabin down."
She"s been getting smart with me on occasion. Which I believe is good, we can get along. I grabbed my plate and joined everyone.
Rayna: "O!"
She took a small bite and covered her mouth.
Steven: "Rayna? Did you burn yourself?"
Rayna: "No, this tastes amazing."
Young Mi: "Steven is a good cook."
Madelyn: "Yeah, but this tastes better than anything I"ve eaten before."
It seemed that the sentiment was shared with everyone as well. They couldn"t deny that my food was good, and because of it, I was starting to feel proud of myself. Everyone didn"t hesitate to clean out their plates and ask for second servings.
Rayna: "Thank you for the food."
Young Mi: "Thank you."
I don"t know who"s turn it was to clean, and it definitely wasn"t me. So, I went and looked for Lilith, who disappeared into one of the rooms with Madelyn and Dai-tai.
Steven: "What are you up to, Lilith?"
Lilith: "Just a little bored. It"s too cold to do anything outside."
Dai-tai: "Well, there"s always a quick way to get a laugh out of someone."
She pounces on Lilith and relentlessly tickled her. Lilith started bursting out in laughter as she tried to get away, but Dai-tai had an iron grasp. She looked at me for help, and seeing that it was harmless fun, I tickled her feet. Lilith somehow broke free and set her sights on me, tackling me onto the bed.
Steven: "No! Stop!"
Lilith: "Oh~ but it"s fine when you do it to me?"
Dai-tai: "Yeah!"
Steven: "You"re just as guilty!"
Their fingers glided across my sides and I erupted into laughter. I tried to escape to no avail and even Madelyn joined in to tickle me. I was in an inescapable position as Dai-tai kept her weight on me to stop me from moving.
Steven: "Ahaha~ no! Stop, pfft, bahaha~!"
Rayna comes into the room, and the tickling, fortunately, dies down.
Rayna: "I see everyone"s pretty lively."
I collapse onto the bed, completely worn out. Lilith, who had gone through the same as me, soon follows.
Lilith: "I don"t want to be tickled again. My sides hurt…"
Steven: "Same~"
Rayna sits on the bed next to me and grabs my hand. It seemed like she was trying to be affectionate at first, but it started to look more like she was trying to do something with me.
Lilith: "S-Steven..? Could I—ask you something?"
Steven: "Sure, what do you need?"
Lilith: "Will you forgive me?"
Steven: "How many times are you going to ask?"
Lilith: "…I don"t know…"
It feels like she"s trying to tell me something but can"t work up the courage to do so.
Steven: "Just tell me what you want to say."
Madelyn: "No, wait…"
Dai-tai holds her back and covers her mouth. It felt like everything was premeditated for Lilith. Rayna holding my hand doing G.o.d knows what and Dai-tai holding back Madelyn; it just smelled like it was planned.
Dai-tai: "There"s a time to talk and to listen… now"s the time to be quiet, Madelyn."
I knew exactly where this was going…
Lilith: "I—murdered—your friends."
Madelyn: "Lilith!"
Steven: "…I know…"

Lilith: "Y-you do?"
Steven: "I do."
It felt like all my energy had dropped in an instant. I didn"t feel any sort of ill feeling towards her, probably because of Rayna; I only felt pity. Blinded by a pa.s.sion to pursue the favor of an unloving father, Lilith had committed atrocities in such a short span of time. I felt a slight pyrrhic satisfaction knowing that the king of Hei"an Zhi Guo was dead.
Steven: "…I didn"t want to believe it…"
Lilith: "I"m sorry…"
I feel my eyes started to well up and began to sob. Lucas and William are dead, and I"ve been lying to myself for more than half a year. I wanted to believe, and be optimistic.
Lilith: "Steven?"
I wipe away my tears and look to the Demon that has caused me many misfortunes. My enemy turned uneasy friend.
Steven: "Could you make me a promise. Everyone in here."
Lilith: "Anything."
Steven: "Unless it"s absolutely necessary, do not kill anyone…"
Lilith: "…I promise…"
Rayna: "Promise."
Madelyn: "Yes, I promise."
Dai-tai: "It"s a promise."
I silently promised myself to do the same.
I"ve been mentally drained and wanted nothing short of resting.
Steven: "I"ll… I"ll go to bed."
Lilith: "Right…"
Young Mi walks in, immediately reacting to the dejected aura of the room.
Young Mi: "Oh… I… didn"t mean to interrupt…"
She just books it out of here.
We all left the room, trying to put on a smile, but it really wasn"t working for me. Niroja knew something was wrong, and Dai-tai takes her and Young Mi to the kitchen. Probably to tell them what happened.
Steven: "Are you going to stay the night, Rayna?"
Rayna: "I won"t be too much of a bother for everyone?"
Madelyn: "Of course not! You can stay as long as you want."
Steven: "Yeah, I told you were apart of our group."
I"m so out of it I can"t even force myself to smile.
Rayna: "I"ll stay…"
Dai-tai: "Where is everyone sleeping?"
Young Mi: "If everyone is going to sleep together, I don"t mind sleeping on one of the beds."
Dai-tai: "Well, there are futons for almost everyone. If we all want to sleep together, someone has to take the couch."
Madelyn: "I"ll take the couch, obviously."
We"re going to all sleep in the living room. Not that it was an issue, only that Madelyn is taking a couch.
Steven: "Are you sure?"
Madelyn: "I told you: I liked sleeping on the couch."
Steven: "Yeah, but… nevermind."
She really isn"t going to give up on that couch. Niroja gets a futon out for everyone else and I set mine up. From left to right, it was: Rayna, me, Dai-tai, Lilith, Niroja, and Young Mi.
Rayna was seeped into her futon and looked very comfortable. We made eye contact and she gives me a smile.
Steven: "Thanks for staying, Rayna."
Rayna: "I saw that sad look… I couldn"t say no."
Steven: "Sorry…"
Rayna: "Do you plan on forgiving her?"
Steven: "I want to…"
Rayna: "Don"t let anger consume you."
I"m not even mad.
I turn around after I feel Dai-tai"s finger prodding my back. She was in her usual playful demeanor, but it seemed toned down for me
Dai-tai: "h.e.l.lo neighbor."
Steven: "Hm, h.e.l.lo."
Dai-tai: "Do you want to visit?"
She lifts her blanket and invites me in.
I crawl into her futon and spoon her. She was in her underwear, and I had a few ideas of what could happen, despite me trying not to think on it.
It didn"t help when Dai-tai was pushing her rear onto me.
Steven: "Would you stop pushing your hips into me."
Dai-tai: "What are you going to do?"
I was in no mood to be playing and I slide back into my futon. Despite it, Dai-tai pushed on and even moves into my futon. Normally, Dai-tai isn"t so aggressive unless she"s trying to achieve something.
Dai-tai: "I want you to cheer up."
Steven: "I guess…"
Dai-tai: "I"ll give myself to you if you"ll cheer up."
Madelyn must have some kind of super hearing because she was the only one apart from me to hear her.
Madelyn: "Haha, what was that? I"m trying to sleep over here."
Dai-tai: "You"re the one making noise, Madelyn."
Madelyn: "Whatever, just know that there are 2 empty rooms, just make it quick."
Steven: "You can join, Madelyn."
Madelyn: "No, who the f.u.c.k you think I am?"
Dai-tai: "Wait, are you talking about hanky panky?"
Niroja: "Eww~!"
I hid under my blanket, trying not to laugh.
Young Mi: "Dai-tai… I"m trying to sleep."
Nonsense, even she was trying not to smile as all of us were. Dai-tai gets closer to my ear and starts whispering.
Dai-tai: "Well..?"
Steven: "Alright, let"s do it."
Dai-tai: "Wait 5 minutes before following me."
Dai-tai walks into her room and n.o.body appeared to bat an eye. Madelyn was turned over on the couch, already asleep and everyone else was motionless. I snuck into the room as instructed. n.o.body noticed either of us, and I end up in a room alone with Dai-tai.
Steven: "Are we really going to do this?"
She embraces me and we share a kiss. No words needed to be spoken, I just knew what was going on to be happening.
I unhooked her bra, revealing her b.r.e.a.s.t.s with a nice bounce. Fondling her a bit before she got on her knees to remove my trousers. My fully erect p.e.n.i.s came out and she decided to play with it for a bit by riding her tongue on my shaft and kissing the tip.
It felt great and I sat down on the bed where she finally starts sucking. She started with the tip, wrapping her tongue around it before pressing her lips. She slowly works her mouth down my shaft. Picking up her pace until she coughs, trying to find her limit. Her drool was over my p.e.n.i.s, dripping down to my b.a.l.l.s.
She stops her sloppy b.l.o.w.j.o.b after some time, stands and turns to remove her panties. She presses her a.s.s and rides my p.e.n.i.s against her cheeks. She seemed hesitant at first but starts to prod my tip into her wet p.u.s.s.y.
My p.e.n.i.s was aching to f.u.c.k her, and she had to slowly take my p.e.n.i.s in like she was working up the courage. It slides all the way in, and Dai-tai moans softly while she sat on my p.e.n.i.s. I grabbed her hips and guided her as she starts working up her pace.
After grabbing onto my knees for support, she starts bouncing on my p.e.n.i.s. She was moaning away and sending me into euphoria. Her body goes hyper and goes as fast as she could for a minute before stopping, exhausted.
I take over and lay her down on the bed. Taking my p.e.n.i.s back into her and thrust. She crosses her legs around me and starts going wild. Her body tenses up and tightly wrap around me. She came on my p.e.n.i.s, and I would soon follow.
We swap positions and I let her ride me. She was grinding me when I felt myself reaching my limits. Dai-tai knew and only sped up, before pulling me out mere moments before my release. I covered her in c.u.m up to her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and she ran her finger across them, curiously tasting her finger.
Steven: "Dai-tai~"
Dai-tai: "I"m fine… wow…"
I laid on the bed, as my mind tried to recompose itself. I felt as if I were reset and started to feel refreshed.
Steven: "We should return before anyone realizes we"re gone."
Dai-tai: "You go first… I need to… need to cool off, clean off."
After dressing up, I head out and get back into my futon. Everyone else was already asleep, so it wasn"t hard to sneak. I waited for Dai-tai for a while when she came out looking like we never even did it. She rushes into her futon and goes to sleep, not paying me any mind.
My mind is exhausted, but my body isn"t. I waited a while, making sure Dai-tai was asleep too and stepped out onto the beach, barefooted. My breath was visible in the very cold weather, and my body shivered. My visit will be a short one. I look into the moonlit ocean, sit down, and reminisce about my times in Toku Village.
My master…
Young Mi had also followed me onto the beach, unknowingly to me, and sits by me.
Young Mi: "Steven, what are you doing?"
Steven: "Oh, Young Mi? I couldn"t sleep, so I stepped out for a bit."
Young Mi: "Well, you"re a Wight, you"ll get used to it."
Then, Rayna joins us, sitting next to me across from Young Mi.
Rayna: "Oh, you 2 really did walk out here. I couldn"t sleep, so I followed."
Well, as we are all Wights, it does make sense that none of us could sleep. Though, I really wanted to be alone right now. I could at least be afforded that luxury.
Young Mi: "What do you 2 plan on doing now?"
Rayna: "I"ll stay here, it"s not like I can go anywhere else."
Young Mi: "Steven?"
Steven: "I"ll go home to Kanna and tell her everything."
Rayna: "She"ll kick you out if she finds out you"re a Wight."
Steven: "I can"t lie to her, she"s my master… she"ll find out either way."
Rayna: "If something happens, anything, come back."
Steven: "I will."
