Preface

Inside the inn, the women stripped themselves of all their clothing and hopped into the bath together.

“Join us,” Rowan beckoned, her large breasts hidden behind the lip of the tub.

“It’s…is there room for me?”

The girls nodded.

Ken immediately stripped down and sat on the edge.

Part Two

Ken woke up to dappled sunlight coming through the window of their room at the Inn. He could hear the chatter and music from downstairs, as well as the ambient noise of the city outside. He blinked and yawned, and it took him a second to realize that he had fallen asleep with his headset still on. Stretching, his shoulder twinged with pain from sleeping in his computer chair.

Looking around, it was clear the girls were gone. They must have had to log out. He pulled up his mailbox to see if he had any private messages from them. A blinking notification informed him that there were two new messages.

To: Paradox_Rex

From: Cherry_Jubilee

Hiii Rexxy~! I know you fell asleep, but me and Vex had to log off for the day, I have class, and she had to go to work. I hope you have a really good day, and we'll meet up the next time you're on, okay?

Love,

Cherry <3

P.S. You were snoring a lil and it was super cute~ Vex thought so, too.

Ah, crap. They'd heard him snoring? He blushed a bit and attempted a facepalm, which just led to him smacking the headset he had forgotten he was still wearing. 

To: Paradox_Rex

From: Vex_Tempest

Hey. We had to log off, but we'll meet up with you again later. Don't sleep through work, alright? See ya soon.

-Vex

It was sweet of Vex to worry about him, but he would never sleep through work. Wait. Work? Shit, he did have to go to work! He didn't even know what time it was. He hurriedly logged off, himself, and pulled his headset off.

The bright light coming in through his open bedroom window made him squint as he readjusted to the real world. He'd been playing Run Reign for almost 72 straight hours. He had taken breaks for food and to use the bathroom, and he had actually slept in his bed the previous nights, but other than that he had been fully immersed in the game, and his new friends Vex and Cherry. It was honestly a little disorienting coming out of that.

He shook his head to clear the fog of having just woken up and looked at the clock. 7:55. Shit, he really needed to get going, and fast. No time for a shower today. To avoid looking like a total mess, he got up and shook some dry shampoo into his hair, combed it out, and threw on some clothes. He thanked whatever gods there were for his office's relaxed dress code, because keeping clean and pressed button-ups would be a pain.

As he continued getting ready, he made sure to keep a diligent eye on the clock. He couldn't risk  being late, or he'd hear about it from his boss, and he'd rather do just about anything than talk to Cliff McCray.

Once he'd shoved a couple toaster pastries into his mouth and subsequently brushed his teeth, he was finally ready to go. Cutting out his shower had saved some time, but he was still going to have to rush if he wanted to be on time. Unfortunately, the few minutes off his normal leave time landed him right in the middle of the early morning traffic that he usually narrowly avoided.

Ken scrambled into the Telelogistics building as quickly as he could. The elevator was too slow, so he sprinted up the stairs like he was running away from a villain in a slasher flick, badged through the entry door, and managed to clock in just as he was supposed to be logging in at his desk. He threw his phone in his locker (damn the "no personal items in the office" rule for making him even later), and rushed to his desk, praying for the slim chance that Cliff hadn't noticed he wasn't there. Just as his butt touched his chair and he switched on his computer monitor, before he could even pick up his work headset, he felt a heavy hand come down on his shoulder.

"You're late, Riley."

Ken turned slowly around in his chair to face the music. He'd know that voice anywhere. Only Cliff McCray could make a person feel like they'd been talking to him for three hours before they'd even managed to say a word. He was an exhausting person to be around.

"Good morning, Cliff." Ken tried to look cheerful, with the vain hope that he might manage to put Cliff off his bad mood through positivity. "Traffic was real bad today, but I got here as quick as I-"

"I don't want to here your excuses, Riley!" Why did Cliff insist on calling him by his last name? It was one of the man's many bad habits, including interrupting people, that rubbed Ken the wrong way. "You know you're supposed to be at your desk, logged in, and ready to take calls at 9 o'clock sharp! Do you have any idea what our call volume is like today?"

"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. I'll get logged in right-"

"No, you don't! Because you weren't here on time to look at our stats!"

If you would shut up, I'd be able to get logged in and take some of those calls you're yelling about. But that would make too much sense, wouldn't it?  It took all of Ken's self control to not roll his eyes, because that would just set Cliff off all over again.

Eventually Cliff ran out of things to rant about and let Ken finally get back to work, but not without interrupting him another three times. When he had walked away, Ken put his head down on his desk for a second, and when he sat back up, June was looking at him across the cubicle divider. She gave him a sympathetic smile and twirled a finger around her ear— the international sign for "that guy's crazy." He smiled back and nodded, but caught a glimpse of Cliff lurking in the back of the office and hurried to get his headset on.

After four hours of angry callers, Ken was ready for his lunch break. But, for some reason, his lunch schedule prompt didn't pop up at its usual time. He furrowed his brow and looked around for some indication as to why, and saw Cliff grinning smugly at him from his fancy corner desk. I guess this is my punishment for being late, Ken thought to himself, glowering at his screen. But whatever. It can't be too much longer. I'll just take one more call, and it'll probably be time.

Most of Ken's calls were only about ten minutes long. He had one of the better call time metrics in the office. But this call was something else. He wound up having to call around to multiple retail stores, as well as calling the customer's device insurer, to try to get their issue resolved. All in all it wound up taking a half hour, and just as he was disconnecting the call and getting ready for the next one, he finally got the prompt to go to lunch. He hurriedly disconnected from the system and set his status to 'on lunch', hung his headset from the edge of his cubicle, and stood up. To his surprise, he and June locked eyes.

"Oh... Are you going to lunch, too?" she asked.

"Yeah. I guess I have a late lunch today, since I was a little late this morning."

"Ah, I see. We don't usually have breaks at the same time."

"Well, since we do today, would you like to eat with me?" He hoped she hadn't packed a lunch so they could go get food down the street, but if she did he would just eat something out of the vending machines in the break room, and be happy about it.

"Oh, um, sure!" She smiled and looked down at her feet, shyly. "I was going to go get something... But if you want to eat in the lunch room-"

"Oh, I almost never eat here! I'd much rather go eat out. Have you tried the pizza place down the street?" he asked. While they talked, he motioned for her to start walking towards the door. Cliff would start in on them for not clocking out for lunch on time if they dawdled too long.

"No, not yet..."

After stopping by their lockers briefly to grab wallets and phones, Ken walked June down the block to his favorite pizzeria. It was a little place called Pie-Ology, which specialized in small personal pizzas and calzones. You could get a full-size pizza from them, but their prices were so reasonable that it was just as good, if not better, to get everyone their own individual pizza with whatever they wanted on it. He liked it especially because they were so quick to cook that he always had plenty of time to eat before he had to get back to work, so it was the perfect lunch.

The place was just off of the main road that their call center was located on, back in a little corner where a lot of people didn't notice it. June hadn't even known that it was there, so Ken was very excited to show her the place. It was a cute little restaurant that only sat about thirty people at the most in the dining room, and he had never once seen it full to capacity.

When they walked in, no one was at the counter, so Ken picked them a small table near the front while they waited. June seemed nervous. She didn't say much, and spent a lot of time staring at her hands, only making eye contact with him very briefly. A part of him was worried that he was being too forward with her and making her nervous around him, but another part thought that her shy demeanor was incredibly cute, and he hoped that she would keep it up.

Eventually an employee came up front from the kitchen, took their orders, and brought them drinks. Since it was such a small place, they didn't have a soda fountain and instead brought their sodas out in cans, along with a glass of ice. While they ate, they made idle chitchat about work. It wasn't anything too deep, but Ken still felt like he had somehow leveled up his relationship with her, since this was the first real conversation they'd had.

"It looks like it's almost time to head back..." June turned her phone around to show him the time, and the glimpse he got of her lock screen was some sort of purple-clad warrior with feathered wings. He made a mental note to ask her about it later.

"Aww, yeah I guess so. Thanks for getting lunch with me. It was really nice actually getting to talk to you for a change. Maybe I should be late more often."

She laughed and shook her head. "I don't think it's worth listening to Cliff rant."

"I dunno..." he replied, giving her a coy smile. "I think it's a reasonable trade-off."

She blushed and quickly busied herself with paying for her meal rather than giving him a reply. They chatted a bit more as they walked back to the office, but they were in a little bit of a hurry, so there wasn't a lot of breath to spare for talking.

The rest of the day was relatively uneventful, except that he caught June occasionally looking at him over the cubicle divider. She would blush and look back down at her keyboard every time their eyes met, but just knowing that she was thinking about him made Ken feel like he was on top of the world.

Ken's last call of the day kept him a bit late, and June was already gone by the time he was finally able to clock out. He had been hoping to get to chat with her a bit more on their way out to the parking garage, but no such luck. He was a little bit disappointed, but it was okay because he had RuneReign waiting for him when he got home.

The drive home took longer than he wanted, since he was in the middle of rush hour traffic from all the other 9-to-5ers getting off of work, but at long last he was home. He threw his work Id on the kitchen table and hurried straight to the computer, where he'd left RuneReign open and ready to be logged back into. It crossed his mind that he should probably eat something before diving back in, but that was a problem for Future Ken.

Settling down snugly into his gaming chair, he carefully positioned the VR headset on his face and logged back into the game as Paradox_Rex.

Since he had still been in the room at the Inn when he logged out, and their reservation had expired by then, he spawned back into the common room of the Marked Casque. He quickly noticed he had a new message from Cherry, and opened his mailbox to check it.

To: Paradox_Rex

From: Cherry_Jubilee

Hi Rexxy! Me and Vex are back for the day!

If you want to meet up with us later, send me a message and we can rendezvous anywhere you'd like. See you soon!

Love,

Cherry

That message had been sent over an hour ago, but his friends list showed that they were both still online. After their past few days of grinding, Ken had been saving up to invest in a better broadsword for his character, so he figured he could go get some shopping done while the girls finished whatever they were currently up to.

To: Cherry_Jubilee

From: Paradox_Rex

Hey! I'm back for the day, too. I'm gonna go get that sword I was talking about, and maybe some potions while I'm at it. Do you guys want to meet me at the blacksmith's?

-Rex

Twenty minutes later, newly equipped with his shiny new toy, Ken was gazing idly at the meticulously crafted scenery of RuneReign's hub town of Runeport, when he was suddenly pounced upon from behind.

"Rexxy~!" Cherry purred as she rubbed her face against his and hung from his shoulders, her little paw feet a few inches in the air. "Welcome back! Did you have a good day?"

"I did, actually!" he laughed. "But it's even better now that you're here."

"Aww, shucks, Rexxy," Cherry replied, blushing.

From a few feet behind, Vex said, "And what am I, Rex? Chopped liver?" He turned around to see her with one gloved hand on her leather-clad hip, rolling her eyes at him.

"Of course not, Vex. I'm always happy to see you, too." He smiled coyly. "You look particularly lovely today, by the way. Did you get some new equipment? Or are you just naturally that beautiful?"

She immediately turned crimson and sharply looked away from him. "Sh-shut up, Rex! Jeeze."

Cherry hopped down from his shoulders and ran over to give Vex a big, enthusiastic hug. "Vex, just admit that you like him~"

"Not you, too, Cherry! C'mon! I thought you were on my side!"

"I am! I have only your best interests in mind, you know."

"Oh my gods I hate both of you. I thought we were going to go fight a boss today? Wasn't that the whole point of the new sword?"

"Changing the subject, are we?" Ken asked smugly. He could see Vex beginning to protest and cut her off. "I'm just kidding. Yeah, we're leveled enough between us to go take on the first boss of the Ghostwood. I just wish we had a healer..."

"Well, maybe we can find someone at the Inn looking for a group?" Cherry asked.

"Nah, healers are in high demand. If there were any there, I'm sure they'd get scooped up right away. We'll put out a notice that we're looking for one later. I think we'll do okay on our own for this fight. We're stocked up on potions and stuff, right?"

"Yeah," Vex replied. "I have plenty in my pouch I can toss to you if you run out."

"Cool. Are we ready to head out, then?"

With everyone in agreement, the group headed to the warp gate at Runeport's southernmost edge— the one that led to the Ghostwood. It was a vast, dark forest with several areas of tiered difficulty which served as the early-game training area.  It was one of RuneReign's few no-PVP areas outside of the cities, which made it ideal for small groups and solo players to explore.

The party warped in and were greeted by quiet, distant birdsong and sun-dappled trees. This was the first area of the Ghostwood, where they had been doing most of their training the past few days. There were still monsters to fight, but they were relatively weak and traveled in small groups— nothing too overwhelming for new players. Today, though, they weren't going to linger in that area. They immediately set off, deeper into the forest, in search of the first area boss.

As they walked, they were dodging around groups of roving enemies so as to conserve their energy and resources for the boss fight. But as they approached the entrance to the boss' lair, through which they could enter the deeper and darker parts of the Ghostwood, they came across another party in the heat of battle.

They seemed quite worn down, and were clearly trying to escape from their present battle; Ken assumed they must have attempted the boss fight and failed.

"Should we help?" Cherry asked.

"I don't know... I guess we could draw aggro and let them get away," Ken said, unsure.

Before they had the chance to act, the two guys in the other group managed to get to one side of the group of kobolds they were fighting, broke free, and ran for it, leaving their other party member behind.

"W-wait! You can't just leave me!" The girl they had left behind was cornered against a copse of trees, and clearly not equipped to fight on her own. She had what looked to be a wand made of woven vines, and no other weapon to speak of.

Cherry jumped into action before the stranger could be hurt, swiping her claws down one Kobold's torso, and roundhouse kicking another into the woods. Ken and Vex hurried in behind her, and the three of them made quick work of the monsters.

"Are you okay?" Cherry knelt at the strange girl's side and put an arm around her shoulders. "It was really mean of them to just leave you like that."

"I-I'm alright. Thank you for your help." She was kneeling on the ground with her legs folded neatly beneath her, catching her breath. Despite being on the dirty ground, she still seemed somehow regal in her demeanor. All her clothes seemed made from the very forest around them, complete with flowers, vines, and clovers woven into her long, brown pigtails. Ken's eyes lingered just a little too long on her ample cleavage, just barely contained by the low-v neckline of her leafy tunic. "I can't believe those two just abandoned me like that, and after I managed to get them out of that fight alive! The ingrates."

"Ah, so you guys were fighting the boss. That's why we're here as well." Ken extended a hand to help the girl up off the ground, and she looked at it a little suspiciously before turning her bright violet eyes up to him. "I'm Rex. If you'll wait for us while we take our turn at the boss, we'll escort you back to town."

She seemed unsure about him at first, but after looking around at the other two girls who accompanied him and seeing no signs of doubt in his abilities and leadership, she decided to accept his help. She let him pull her back to her feet and dusted off her skirt and cape. "I am Rowan Silverspoon, and I am a Druid. Very highly in demand from people smart enough to not abandon their healer in the woods. Since you lot seem like you're actually capable of taking care of yourselves, I might be willing to lend you my abilities for a while, as repayment for rescuing me." She crossed her arms over her chest and looked down her nose at them while she awaited their response.

There was a beat of silence between them while the three party members exchanged glances, and then Vex laughed. "Well, I guess that solves our healer problem, eh Rex?"

"I suppose it does. Welcome to the team, Rowan."

After taking a moment to ensure Rowan's mana was refilled, they filed in to the boss arena. Because their instance was separate from the previous party's attempt on the boss, there were no signs of the scuffle that had taken place only minutes beforehand. The boss, a wild-eyed giant boar, being ridden by a band of small kobold warriors, pawed the ground and snorted angrily, its tusks gleaming in the smatterings of sunlight that made it through the forest canopy.

"Ready?" Ken asked.

"Ready!" Vex and Cherry took a battle stance and readied their weapons for battle.

The fight was short, but fierce. Ken and Cherry were both close melee fighters, meaning that while they did a lot of damage to the boar, they took a lot of damage as well. But they were smart enough about it that Rowan was able to keep their HP topped off fairly well.

Vex, on the other hand, scaled up the side of the boar and knocked the kobolds off so they could be dealt with separately. They were somewhat tougher than the roving ones they had been fighting in the Ghostwood thus far, but since there were only a handful of them she was able to handle them neatly. 

At one point during the battle, a kobold got behind Vex and was just about to pounce, before Rowan shot it out of the air with a bolt of energy from her wand. She got a big thumbs up from Vex before the battle raged on.

All told the fight only lasted about ten minutes, but in the world of RuneReign, where time seemed to pass so much slower, it felt like hours. At the end they were all four sore and tired, but they had come through victorious.

"Good job, team!" Cherry said, posing valiantly with one paw on the felled boar's massive head.

"Especially you, Rowan," Ken said. "That would have been much harder without you. You really made an excellent addition to the team."

Rowan blushed, seeming very surprised that she had received a compliment. "W-well, it was the least that I could do after you saved me. At least you lot seem to know how to properly appreciate such a valuable healer as myself." She looked away, staring at the blood-spattered ground, but she had a small smile on her face that she tried, and failed to hide.

"Why don't you come back to the Marked Casque with us?" Vex asked. "I feel like we could all use a rest after that, and I'd like the chance to get to know you better."

"Me?"

"Do you see any other Druids around?"

"I... I think I would quite like that. Perhaps I may stay and help your party out more in the future."

"I think we'd like that, too, Rowan," Ken replied.

They made their way back to the warp pad, their victory over the mid-boss having given them temporary immunity to the hostilities of the Ghostwood kobolds, and Ken paid for their usual room at the Inn. 

Inside the inn, the women stripped themselves of all their clothing and hopped into the bath together.

“Join us,” Rowan beckoned, her large breasts hidden behind the lip of the tub.

“It’s…is there room for me?”

The girls nodded.

Ken immediately stripped down and sat on the edge.

"I want to feel good, Master," Cherry cried as she rubbed her hands on her breasts. "Just take me."

“Me too,” Rowan said. “I need to relax.”

"How are you feeling, Cherry?” Ken asked.

"I am extremely horny." Cherry smiled.

I looked the woman directly in the eyes while my cock throbbed.

Rowan grabbed Ken’s hand and pulled it beneath the water.

"Please play with my pussy, Sir,” Rowan smirked.

Ken looked down at the girls sitting up against each other in the tub, all warm and wet and giggly and couldn’t imagine how he had gotten so lucky in this game.

“What do you want us to do sir?" Cherry asked.

Ken felt Rowan’s tight, smooth mound, and slipped a finger into her. He liked how tight she felt.

"Please, Sir," Vex said. "Let me suck your cock. I need to suck your cock more than anything in this world. Let me please you."

Ken hung his legs over the edge of the wide circular tub, while Cherry and Vex immediately pounced on his cock with their lips.

Rowan was writhing like a belly dancer with a soft guttural moan escaping her lips.

“Oh my god," Vex said. “It’s so beautiful. It seems bigger than it was last time!"

“I know right!?” Cherry confirmed.

“Are you enjoying this Sir? Am I doing it the way you like?" Vex asked in between slurping on Ken’s tip. 

Rowan leaned back against the edge of the tub as Ken fingered her.

“What about this?" Cherry said pushing her tits together around Ken’s cock while her lips stayed tight around the head.

Ken squeezed her nipples with his free hand, while continuing to finger-fuck the druid.

The suction around Ken’s dick was incredible, and he had never felt anything so good.

"Both of you," Ken said sternly. "Bend over." 

The girls lined up and took turns taking my cock down into the back of their throats without even struggling. I loved the look of it.

Ken gave both their asses a loud spank.

"Oh sir," Cherry said. "I want you to fuck me anyway you wish."

Ken reached between her legs to feel her warm pussy. It was sopping wet.

It was so tight Ken nearly came immediately as he slid into Cherry.

After a few more good spanks Cherry’s legs started shaking and she let out a deep guttural moan.

"Sir, I will do whatever you want. Whatever you say. I'm yours to take," Vex said wiggling her ass and whimpering at Ken.

“Let’s move this to the bed,” Ken said, and the girls dried off and followed him to the other room.

Then, Ken put his fingers into Vex’s cunny and started to massage her g-spot. Her ass stopped wiggling as she lay her chest on the mattress with her ass still in the air.

Cherry was now moaning as Ken fucked her hard and fast, and she was moaning at him to fuck her harder and harder.

Ken slid his cock into her again and pounded her tight little cunt until he could feel her juices all over his crotch.

She stopped being so demanding, and started to let out long whimpering moans. Ken had tamed her, for now at least. She became submissive after her orgasm. 

“My turn, my turn!” Vex said excitedly, and Ken shifted his weight towards her.

I moaned as Vex  slowly slid his cock into her tight pussy. She was damn near yelping as he stretched her pussy out.

"It hurts so good master!" she said, wriggling around beneath Ken.

Her pussy was as juicy as a peach dripping down his shaft.

Ken reached around to play with her pert tits, rolling the nipples between his fingers as she moaned.

She played with her clit while Ken continued to fuck her pussy in short strokes. It felt amazing.Ken realized he was was going to pop sooner than he wanted to.

Vex looked back at Ken with a deep longing in her eyes.

Ken grabbed her by the hips and thrust into her hard as she cried out with enjoyment.

"Oh my god it's so big Sir!" Vex cried as he pounded her slit without mercy. 

These two women just wanted to be close to him, Ken thought, but was it even real? Their bodies and minds were his.

Vex moaned as Ken’s dick went deeper into her.

“I’m going to cum, sir!” Vex shivered and shook and released all the tension that was building in her body.

The pile of bodies collapsed on the bed breathing heavily. Ken couldn’t wait to see what was waiting for him in game next.
