A Serpent's Tale

Chapter 22: Morning After



As the first rays of a new dawns light hit my face, I started to wake up with my tail wrapped around Cythistia's lower body whilst I hugged her upper body I groaned, trying to remember what happened last night. Letting go of her body I groaned, struggling to get up as my muscles ached for some reason.

"Mmmnnn." She mumbled in discontent at me leaving her side, but as soon as I sat upright a wave of pain assaulted my head as the memories of last night came back to me. I blushed profusely as I remembered what I had done last night, I was like a wild animal who had been locked up and then finally freed to ravage the woman besides me.

I felt both my ears and my face heat up at everything I did last night, I was so embarrassed that I just curled myself up, hiding my head inside of my tail.

I don't know how long I was wrapped up inside of myself but I eventually managed to calm myself down enough to come out of my own makeshift shell. Sighing, I wondered what I was going to do when either, Cythistia woke up, or Dorrak returned. What would they say to me? What would the-

*Rustle*

Startled I prepared to hurl a fireball towards where I heard the rustling sound coming from, but it just turned out to be Dorrak, coming back from his night patrol.

"Morning kid! Sounded like you two had some fun last night ey? Seriously, I went like twenty miles away and I could still hear you making that poor lass there screeching her lungs out like a pig!" He said as he both, reprimanded me and mocked me as he laughed towards the end of his sentence.

My face became hot again and I just tucked myself away inside my tail once more, only to hear him laugh with his boisterous, thunder like laugh.

"BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Shortly after he started laughing his lungs out, I could vaguely hear something shuffling besides me. Cythistia had woken up... Oh no. I curled up into myself tighter than before to hide away from the embarrassment.

"Mmmmnnnn... Huh? Who's laughing? What's so funny?" She asked in a tired voice which I found very appealing for some reason.

"HAHA! This little one here was just embarrassed at how much she ploughed you last night, that's all! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!" He continued to laugh as he told Cythistia what had happened last night.

"Uwawawawawaaaahhhh!!!!" She screamed in embarassment also, and I assumed she hid her face with her hands, but I couldn't see as I was intentionally trapped inside my personal cocoon of shame.

Dorrak eventually managed to stop laughing and calmed down, but I still couldn't get rid of the shame that I felt inside of me, I felt like someone who had just orgasmed on their parent whilst they were working, right in front of all their co-workers as well.

Grumbling to myself coquettishly as tears started to roll down my face, I soon felt a feminine hand on my back, from Cythistia.

"Hey, it's alright, no need to be so embarrassed about it, I... I really enjoyed last night, if that helps you feel any better, I probably wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I'm honest, even with all these aches I'd get when I wake up. It really was a great time, you don't need to worry yourself about this okay, it's fine, you don't need to beat yourself up or anything okay?" Cythistia spoke to me in a slow and smooth voice, trying to help me feel better, and I did, a bit.

Uncoiling myself slightly, I felt her press her undressed body against my back and wrapping her arms over me, caressing my body gently while telling me everything was fine.

Sometime later I came out of my shell and sat upright around the firepit, my eyes slightly swollen from crying and my face stilled flushed red from shame. Cythistia came to my side and pulled my head into her chest and began caressing my head, it felt nice so I just sunk myself into her soft breasts and promptly fell asleep again.

(Dorrak POV)

Smiling at Traytora falling asleep into the stag's chest like that was adorable and reminded me of my own daughter who did that with her mother when she was a baby.

"What's with that melancholic look on your face." The stag asked with a coldness I didn't expect to hear from her and a sharp look in her eyes.

"What's with this sudden hostility? And I was thinking about my daughter, okay? Am I not allowed to do that?" I asked with some bitterness.

"You made her cry." She replied with the same cold, hostile tone.

"Why do you even care so much for her anyways? You're our hostage, you should hold more resentment to us more than anything." I retorted.

"Hmph, you just don't know what exactly happened last night, or what happened because of it."

"Why should I care about what happened last night, and- Wait, what do you mean by, 'what happened because of it.' Because that sounds really suspicious."

"Simple, I'm pregnant." She said with a smile plastered on her face.

I blinked, taking a moment to not fully register what she just said. "I'm sorry could you repeat that, I don't think I heard it correctly."

"I said, 'I'm pregnant.' Is that so hard to believe?" She said in a mocking tone.

"Well... Yeah it is actually, and that's not because of you or anything, but because of her, she's still a child by her species standards." I explained.

"And?"

I blinked again, not knowing how to register that one simple word, so I just sat there, arms crossed over my chest, with a blank expression on my face. Until I realised that it's impossible to tell if you're pregnant not even twenty-four hours after sex.

"Wait, but how can you even tell, it hasn't even been a full day since you two had sex?"

"Oh, I suppose this is a good time to introduce myself to you. My name is Cythistia of house Velphine, one of the three most important families of the stag nation of Athenelos. My family has given birth to a long line of mages who have the Nature elemental affinity, which is how I know I'm pregnant. Do you want to know anything else?" She said with a slightly unnerving smile on her face.

"Uhhh... N-no I think you got your point across well enough." I said whilst averting my gaze.

"Good, now go get some hunt for breakfast, I assume you'd be hungry after a whole night of keeping watch, plus I'm sure my dear partner would also be hungry, just like I am, when she awakens again. We did go at it pretty hard last night after all."

"Hahh, yes I know, I could hear you from twenty miles away." With that, I got up and went back out into the forest to hunt us some breakfast.
