Chapter Text
Amber found herself pinned in much the same compromised position she’d awoken to the previous night. Only this time, Eula was awake. Lucid. Fully aware of the delirious effects her caresses were having on the outrider’s surging libido. Held tightly, Eula’s arms wrapped around Amber’s front, calloused fingers dragging Amber’s shirt up to roam across now-exposed, heated skin. Eula’s lips pressed against the back of her neck, as possessive as she dared to be, suckling in adoration. And then there was that cock of hers, barely restrained by how it tented her white panties out taut, the hot firmness of its head repeatedly prodding against Amber’s thighs in declaration of its taunting presence.
“Eula...” Amber worshipfully whined out the Captain’s name, squirming back into Eula’s embrace, grinding her butt against the panty-clad cock at her back. “More. Don’t stop.”
“Amber... Fuck,” Eula hissed against her neck, the grip of her hands around the outrider’s waist tightening as she instinctively, uselessly bucked her hips. “Taunting and teasing me with that deviously adorable body of yours all day long? Torturing me with the prospect of what I have denied myself for far too long? For that, I shall have you taste my vengeance.”
There was no malice in her desire for retribution. Not this time. Rather, the lustful lilt of her whispering in Amber’s ear was more a promise. Leaning over Eula, the Knight brought a thumb to Amber’s chin, tilting her neck so that her lips were within reach. And then, Eula’s taste of vengeance came in the form of her kiss, the slight hint of mint broaching Amber’s mouth as Eula’s tongue pushed within her accommodating lips. Her other hand trailed up Amber’s smooth stomach, seeking out the modest swell of the outrider’s breasts and kneading into the warmth of Amber’s flushed, sensitive skin.
With a groan, Eula pulled away, her boldness seemingly faltering as her lips retreated from the kiss and her hands parted from Amber’s breast. “This... This feels much too fast, Amber. We’ve barely even...” Her words trailed off.
“Barely even confessed to each other?” Amber giggled, bringing a hand to Eula’s trembling fingers and letting their grips intertwine. She squeezed slightly. Half to encourage Eula’s confidence, half to bolster her own.
“So much etiquette skipped. Where’s the dates? The elaborate dining? The courtship? We’re not even dating, Amber. So what are we? What are we doing, a noble and a commoner, a Captain and her subordinate, sharing a bed like this?”
“As far as I see it,” Amber smiled, wriggling her hips back against that perfect cock, nestled right between where her tight shorts hugged the curve of her ass. “We’re just two pent-up horny girls, hopelessly head over heels for each other, completely alone where nobody else can see or hear us.”
“So my... My retribution? This isn’t too fast for you?”
“Not at all. It feels right that our first would happen like this,” Amber said. “I want to go all the way with you, Eula. We can work out the awkward stuffy details later. Please.”
Eula buried her face against Amber’s neck. Her hands returned to the Outrider’s waist. This time, less a possessive claim, and more a perilous, protective cling, as if she was holding onto something precious and fragile. Amber could feel the moistness of her breath with every shaky, staccato exhale and the beating of the Captain’s heart as she pressed her chest against Amber’s back pounding faster and harder than her own. She was nervous, despite the way she tried to hide it. Was this her first time too, Amber wondered?
“Very well, my... My love...” Eula said.
And then, Eula’s hands were roaming her again. More ambitiously this time, the Captain guided Amber’s arms up to pull her shirt free, Eula greeting the similarly plain bra with a needy tug at the clasp. Amber couldn’t help but giggle at the way Eula’s fingers fumbled with excitement, so riled up with overwhelming, shuddering lust that she could hardly even summon the finesse to strip her. Yet she eventually managed, Amber’s modest breasts freed of their confines only to be cupped within Eula’s firm, secure hands. Amber couldn’t help but groan into the sensation as Eula’s warm grip kneaded into her nipples, achingly hard and sensitive from their momentary exposure to the freezing air.
“Mmh, you know, this was the same position we were in when you had that dream of yours last night,” Amber giggled. “Though your hands were a little less bold at the time, I could still feel you prodding against me.”
“I didn’t realise I was acting in such an undignified and improper manner towards you. I must apologise for how I...”
“For how crazy turned on you made me?” Amber interrupted, rocking her hips back into Eula. “Clouding my mind with filthy fantasies of just how easily you could have just slipped inside. Just how amazing it would be to have you take my first there and then, to feel you filling me so perfectly... I want to make whatever happened in that dream of yours into reality, so how about you let that be your apology?”
“Harbouring such filthy thoughts about me? Why, I ought to...” Eula hesitated. “Wait, is this truly your first time as well?”
“Mmh.”
“In that case... I still want to, but I fear hurting you, Amber.”
Amber grabbed the hand at her waist, guiding the Captain’s caress lower. “Then best make sure I’m ready to take all of you, hmm? Because there’s no way I’m gonna be satisfied with this ending any other way!”
Taking Amber’s lead, Eula let her fingertips pry at the hem of the outrider’s tight shorts. Slipping beneath with a gasp as she felt how utterly drenched Amber’s panties were already, she tentatively dragged her fingers in a slow, experimental stroke along her sopping, needy pussy. Amber gasped at the sensation of Eula finally caressing her sex, every stroke of Eula’s fingers leaving her bucking her hips in a desperate attempt to eke out more delectable friction against the Captain’s hand.
“Fuck, you’re so wet for me already,” Eula whispered in awe. “I had no idea you were so desperately pent up.”
“It’s only coz, hah...” Amber whined as Eula’s other hand returned to her breast, gently rolling Amber’s nipple between her fingers. “Of what you did last night.”
“And not because of how you were staring at me while you pretended you were only interested in washing me?” Eula huffed. “I knew the entire time, of course. That warrants its own retribution, don’t you think?”
Eula’s attention moved up from her folds, the tips of her fingers now focusing on the thrumming sensitivity of Amber’s clit, the slickened digit running slow, tender circles against the receptive girl. She couldn’t help but squirm within Eula’s embrace as molten pleasure began to radiate in slow, steady waves from her core. Shuffling atop the sheets, Amber was torn between the instinctive desire to buck forwards into Eula’s grasp, to rock her hips into the source of sensation, or instead to push back, squeezing her butt against Eula’s cock to drive the Captain’s lust to ever-greater heights.
“Please, mmh, put a finger in too. Need to feel you inside.” Amber insisted.
“Are you sure I won’t hurt you?”
“Damn it, Eula,” Amber huffed. There was no hint of malice. Only deep, protective caring. But regardless, Eula’s taunting slowness was only riling her up even more. “I might not be anywhere near as strong as you, but just because I don’t have a vision, that doesn’t mean I’m that delicate!”
Heeding her words, Eula brought the tip of her finger against Amber’s entrance. So wet, so desperate for her, Eula’s fingers sunk into the velvet confines of her clamping pussy with ease, drawing a rasping moan from Amber’s lips as Eula pushed down to her knuckles within her tight core. Holding herself within Amber, her finger curled up slightly, drawing yet more delightful, joyous moans from Amber’s lips.
“Apologies if I’m not doing it right,” Eula mumbled.
Even though Amber knew she was doing more than okay, she still wanted to bolster Eula’s confidence. “Just do it like how you get yourself off, Eula, I’m sure you’ll do fine.”
“Uh, when I’m by myself,” Eula swallowed, clearly embarrassed at discussing the idea. “I mostly focus my attention elsewhere, if you... Ugh, don’t make me explain it.”
“Oh! Hah, I didn’t realise,” Amber said, filing away that adorable detail about Eula deep in her mind. Once they were back in Mondstadt, Eula would have to show her how she got herself off, and in return, Amber would demonstrate just how much fun she could have with that other part of her too, like how good it felt to grind atop and against a pillow. Archons, they’d not even had their first time yet, she didn’t know if there would be a next, and she was already mischievously plotting out the details of their future love life together. She was absolutely smitten, she had no doubt about that. “Well, I think you’re doing wonderful anyway. Keep going. No, more. Another finger, if I’m gonna be ready for you I need a bit of a stre-etch!”
Amber squealed with delight as a second of Eula’s fingers worked its way into her, ambition beyond her resilience as she realised just how much more Eula was filling her out. The strength and security of her grasp made sense now, her powerful hands filling her out more than an equal measure of her own fingers. A fraction deeper, too, now that she was properly working her fingers down to the base within her roiling, clamping core, caressing sensitive spots Amber hadn’t even known she had with every rhythmic motion.
“I can’t believe how hot and wet you are down there, your panties are utterly ruined,” Eula whispered. “Cute. So, so cute.”
“Eula, Eula!” Amber cried out in adoration, squirming within Eula’s grasp as she felt the growing intensity building pleasure upon pleasure within her. “More!”
Yet rather than fulfil Amber’s demand, Eula’s hand slipped free from beneath Amber’s panties, the Outrider’s hips vainly trying to chase the source of pleasure as she whined in absent desperation. Before she could utter a complaint, Eula rolled her onto her back. Her hands went to the hem of Amber’s shorts, digging between fabric and skin and dragging down to entirely strip the outrider bare, then propping her knees open to finally reveal the slick, glistening arousal of Amber’s sex to the Captain.
“Eula?” Amber blushed, unsure of the Captain’s intent but certain whatever she had planned would be wonderful.
“So adorable...” Eula whispered, gazing up at Amber with lust in her eyes as she lowered her head between the outrider’s thighs.
When Eula’s tongue first pushed against her folds, the impossibly wet heat drawing a slow, experimental stroke along sopping, needy flesh, Amber couldn’t help but let out a shrill, desperate cry of pleasure. Her back arched, her feet dragging against the sheets, as moan after ragged moan left her increasingly hoarse throat with every flick, every lap, and every caress. Again and again, her body felt heavy and molten beneath Eula’s efforts as the Captain’s tongue chased the ambrosia overflowing from her core. Her tongue pushed inside, earning another round of heady, pleasured cries from Amber. Her hand landed at the back of Eula’s head, ruffling into icy-blue hair, seeking to pin the Captain against her pussy.
“Oh, Archons, Eula!” Amber rolled her hips, rocking and thrashing against Eula’s face, her arousal soon messily coating the Captain’s chin. She had no idea how Eula knew how to do this, or whether the Captain was just driven by sheer instinct. But with her mind melting beneath the deluge of bliss being drawn out by those slow, firm strokes of Eula’s tongue, she hardly cared any more. “This is... You’re amazing!”
Eula hummed happily against her, the delightful vibrations drawing yet more pleas and moans from Amber’s lips. By herself, the outrider would be quiet. Stifle her moans by biting her lip, or bury them in a pillow. With Eula, however, she wanted to sing out her praises. She wanted Eula to hear every little rasping, breathy, whining detail of just how crazy good she was making her feel. Mores. Right theres. Don’t stops. Her reverent praise filled the tent, accompanying the wet sounds of Eula’s tongue pushing into her sex. With her thighs clamping against Eula’s cheeks as her tongue slipped deeper within her core, nigh-drinking up the outrider’s sopping wetness, her words were soon reduced to little more than incoherent, warbling pleas as she approached her climax.
And when Eula’s tongue finally strayed from her leaking entrance, shifting its lavish attention to circling her clit, only for two curling fingers to slide deep into her in its place? Amber couldn’t stop it. She couldn’t hold back any longer. Pushed to a feverous pitch by Eula’s ravenous attention, she squirmed atop the sheets, her eyes clamped shut and pussy squeezing tightly around those two fingers coiling up inside her as she came, molten pleasure exploding within her.
With Amber’s thighs squeezing around Eula’s head, the Captain had little choice but to continue to draw out Amber’s peak. A hand went to Amber’s hip, holding her down through the thrashing convulsions of her orgasm, Eula’s tongue not relenting in attending to the outrider’s oversensitive clit with wet, heavy heat until, spent and gasping, Amber finally collapsed within her grasp.
As her senses slowly came back to her, vaguely aware of Eula uncoiling herself from between her legs and straddling atop her, Amber opened her eyes. She was greeted by Eula looming over her, famished need written on her arousal-slickened face, her panties now removed and her hard, twitching length on full display to the Outrider, so beautiful and so tantalizingly close to Amber’s waiting entrance. Before, she’d only been able to imagine it. Either from the way it was outlined in her stretched panties, or the heat of it pressing up against her. But now, all of Eula’s strength was hers to indulge in, and as much as she was tempted to use her mouth on it in much the same way Eula’s tongue had worshipped her, Eula evidently had a better idea for what she wanted from Amber.
“P-Please, Amber... I can’t hold back any more.” Eula groaned. “If you want to take vengeance on me, I understand. But tonight, I beg, let me have you, just this once.”
Once? Oh, she wanted this this happen far more than just the once. Eula didn’t need to beg for permission. She was more than ready for her. Amber brought a shaky hand to Eula’s cheek, stroking against Eula’s crimson blush as she smiled up at the woman she’d fallen in love with.
“I’m ready for you,” Amber smiled. “Just be sure to kiss me when you put it in, okay?”
Eula swallowed, taking Amber’s hand from her cheek and entwining her fingers with her own. “Amber...”
The Captain lowered her hips, just enough to run the delectable heat of the head of her cock against Amber’s dripping, needy folds. Amber gasped beneath her, shivering in both lustful anticipation and fitful trepidation as Eula lined up with her entrance. The suggested kiss wasn’t just for Eula’s sake. It was also to quell her own nerves. Her grip on Eula’s hand tightened, her eyes closed, her mouth pursed, and the press of Eula’s warmth against her lips signalled the descent of Eula’s hips against her.
“Mmfh!” Amber rasped against Eula’s mouth, the agonizingly slow descent of Eula’s cock between her folds and into her velvet-like core sending surging sparks of heated pleasure radiating through her lithe, shuddering body.
Whatever patience Eula had before seemed to evaporate as she was pulled in by the allure of Amber’s pussy clamping around her shaft. Her hips lurched down against Amber, sending the searing heat of the head of her firm length deeper into the squirming Outrider’s accommodatingly drenched core. Amber felt her walls stretch around the intrusion, each little bit that Eula pushed into her sending new, shuddering sparks of intoxicating pleasure through her core. Pinned beneath the Captain, Amber wrapped her free hand around Eula’s back, digging in with her nails as harshly as she dared as Eula utterly filled her.
And then, Eula’s hips pressed flush against her, the Captain bottoming out inside her with a stifled groan. Her lips were released from Eula’s kiss, Amber’s shrill moans and cries filling the tent as she squirmed her hips beneath the intrusion. But when she finally mustered the strength to open her eyes again, she saw not shared joy in the face of the woman looming above her, but concern.
“Amber, are you okay? Did I hurt you?”
“I’m like this because you feel so good, Eula.” Amber groaned, leaning up to kiss Eula’s cheek. “How can it possibly hurt when you feel so perfect inside me?”
“Is that really okay, I mean...”
“Archons, stop worrying about everything and fuck me already!”
Eula lurched back, her juddering motions betraying her total inexperience as she withdrew most of her cock from Amber’s core, exposing the slickened shaft to the bitter cold of the air. And then, just as her absence began to irritate Amber, she pushed herself back into the sanctuary of Amber’s sex. And again. And again, confidence building as she put her muscles to work, fucking Amber down against the sheets with each thrust as Amber wordlessly sang her praises in cracking moans and whimpers.
“Hah, Eula! F-fuck!” Amber stammered, struggling to get the words out between each of Eula’s motions.
“Love you, Amber. So much, so good...”
Amber’s hands roamed across Eula’s sweat-slickened skin as she sought her stability amidst the blizzard of their lust. She dragged Eula’s bra up, releasing her enviously soft breasts into her delightful, kneading grasp. In return, Eula’s strong, calloused hands clamped around Amber’s slender waist, holding the Outrider steady as her rolling, crashing motions grew ever bolder.
There was no finesse to it. Just pure instinct. Eula’s hips pushed down into her over and over again, overflowing arousal leaking from where they met. The frame of the makeshift bed shook and the sheets bunched up around Amber’s heels as she kicked against them. Every thrust was met by wet slaps and groans. Each time Eula bottomed out in her, Amber’s hips rolled forward to meet her cock, chasing the ragged sensation of being so desperately, needily fucked. It was so much. Maybe even too much. But, her mind drenched in lust, she realised she liked the thought of Eula being too much for her. Of being so utterly overwhelmed on the end of her cock that she’d be reduced to a whimpering, molten mess beneath her.
“More!” Amber demanded, surprising herself with her own boldness.
Never would she have thought she wanted her first time to get so intense, but she was so utterly enthralled in the moment she couldn’t help but demand more. And she never wanted it to stop. She wanted Eula to take her like this all night. To use her overwhelming strength to push Amber down into the sheets. To completely melt into unbridled pleasure beneath the woman she loved. And yet the stalling motions, the stifled groans, and the look of concentration etched into Eula’s face. She was trying to draw things out for Amber’s sake. That just wouldn’t do, Amber decided. Eula deserved to feel just as good as she did.
“Come for me Eula, please.” Amber gasped, clinging ever-tighter to the Captain as shuddered beneath the blissful, filling heat of her cock. “Don’t hold anything back, give me everything!”
“Damn it, Amber!” Eula bit her lip. “I can’t!”
The eagerly awaited release of Eula’s climax, deep against Amber’s core, never arrived. Instead, Eula pulled away from Amber, leaving her awfully empty as the Captain fell back. Eula gripped the base of her cock, groaning her hips vainly thrust against the air as if still embedded between Amber’s folds, breathy rasps and groans soon culminating in tensing muscles as her climax wracked its way through her. Amber was transfixed by the sight as every juddering twitch of Eula’s thighs was accompanied by the release of a thick, heady stream of her cum. It landed across Eula’s skin, decorating the underside of her breasts and the definition of her abs in its slick, hot glaze. Amber watched in awe at just how good it must have felt for Eula, and regret at how much better it would have felt if she’d unloaded all that deep into Amber’s clamping folds, rather than across herself. Yet for all the mess Eula had just made, Amber couldn’t help but think she looked more deliciously sexy than ever.
“Hah, couldn’t... Risk finishing inside...” Eula gasped, the tension in her muscles relaxing as she came down from her orgasm.
“Hmph, and now I’ve got to clean you all up again.” Amber pouted as she leaned closer to the delightfully messy results of their lovemaking.
“If you pass me the towel, I’ll... W-wait, Amber!”
Driven by lustful impulse, Amber brought her tongue to Eula’s toned stomach. She trailed greedy laps along the flushed, cum-smeared skin, eagerly pulling the heady sensation of Eula’s release between her lips. She didn’t care how it tasted. The sheer eroticism of having this part of Eula against her tongue overpowered any discomfort or inhibition.
“Amber, you don’t need to do that,” Eula insisted. “A towel will do, truly!”
“But I want to,” Amber giggled, her tongue tracing the muscles of Eula’s abs before trailing up to the underside of her breasts. “You’re absolutely delicious.”
“Amber...”
“I wanna do this for you,” Amber said, trailing a path back down towards Eula’s cock, already swelling with renewed arousal, before planting a kiss upon its tip. “Besides, why’d you pull out? I mean it, Eula. I want everything from you. Don’t you think it will feel so much better to finish inside me too? Wasn’t that how your dream ended?”
“Yes, but I don’t want to get you pregnant yet,” Yet, and then Eula caught what she was saying, her hands flying to cover her blushing face. “I-I mean, whatever we’re doing here, we can’t go doing something even more utterly foolish! We’re not even dating!”
Amber gave the blustered woman a reassuring kiss on the forehead, pulling her into a hug. “Don’t worry, I understand what you meant.” Though the very thought of something like that happening brought with it a new trail of fantasies about what their future life could be like together, they would have to remain just that, fantasies, for now. “Though I can’t say I’m not interested in the idea, you know the medical supplies always come with just the thing to prevent that happening, right?”
Rising onto unsteady legs from the bed, little sparks of bliss still tingling in her muscles, Amber went to the box of medical supplies she’d left in the room, pulling out the tiny vial of swirling pink liquid she’d spotted during her earlier rummaging.
“I don’t quite know why the alchemists chose to include elemental contraceptives with every medical kit, but I’m not going to complain,” Amber said, uncorking the bottle and hastily choking down the contents. “Now, how about we finish what we started?”
With darkness arriving, and frigid winds beginning to whip against the canvas walls of the tent, Amber returned to the bed, hooking her arms around Eula’s shoulder as she straddled atop the taller knight’s lap. Her lips pressed against Eula’s, intensity quelled by the first round and instead replaced by slow, tender intimacy as Eula’s hands slipped longingly around the outrider’s slender waist. Leaning forward, Amber pressed her smaller chest against Eula, eking out as much heated skin contact as they could manage as they embraced as another night of Dragonspine’s blizzards pressed in around them. Together, they would be safe. Secure. Warm... And so much more.
And then Amber’s patience for sappiness wore thin. She had her needs, after all, and right now, the only thing that could satisfy them was another round with Eula’s cock.
Rising up, Amber lined her entrance up with Eula’s length, before sliding back down with a satisfied, needy whine. The hands at her waist clamped tighter as Eula groaned into the sensation of Amber’s pussy so perfectly massaging her. Amber descended, indulging in the feeling of being stretched out and filled all over again, until her butt landed atop Eula’s thighs, hilting her cock within. Finally, Eula was back where she belonged; back where she needed to be. Within her. And this time, the Captain had no reason to pull out at the last second. They were going to do it just how her fantasies and Eula’s dreams had pictured.
Amber broke the kiss, gazing into Eula’s loving pearlescent eyes once more. The sort of eyes she could just lose herself in, she knew. Her hips rolled slowly as she began to bob atop Eula’s lap, the Captain’s hands around her waist helping to steady her shaky motions.
“I love you, Eula,” Amber rasped, clinging to Eula.
“I...” Eula paused, the stoic woman trying to find the right words to describe her emotions. “I know I might not have given that impression before tonight, but... I love you too, Amber.”
“I hope this doesn’t end when we leave this tent,” Amber said, letting her hips roll back and forth as she ground against Eula, putting the lustful energy of her pillow-humping habits into riding the woman she loved. “I don’t want our positions or our titles or anything to come between us. I just want this. You and me. Always.”
Eula brought her forehead against Amber’s. “If anyone ever dares try to pull us apart, they shall face the fury of my vengeance.”
Amber giggled. “I expected nothing less.”
Revelling in taking charge and setting the pace, Amber focused on every delightful new detail of their lovemaking it brought out. Like the way Eula twitched within her, somehow feeling that bit harder, stretching her out that bit more, teasing yet more sensitive spots within her every time Eula bottomed out inside her. Or her scent, the strangely appealing, heady inhales of her sweat and spent seed layered over with frost and mint whenever Amber rested over her shoulder, her nose pressing into the crook of her neck. Her sounds, rasping and low whenever Amber gently rolled atop her, only to grow in pitch and urgency whenever Amber sped up.
Amber took the opportunity to rest her legs for a moment to draw her attention towards Eula’s enviously large breasts. Clasping her lips around a pert nipple, hard from the cold air, she drew renewed cries of pleasure from Eula as she suckled at the sensitive skin. And once Eula was frustrated enough by Amber’s teasing slowness, the way her hands would cradle around Amber’s shapely rear, her fingers sinking into the softness as she guided the outrider to bounce atop her once more.
Their pace quickened as Amber rode atop the Captain, Eula meeting every one of Amber’s descents with a thrust upwards of her own. Gentle, tender kisses and caresses soon gave way to ravenous desire, both seeking to give the women they loved everything they had to offer. Their hearts pounded in mutual exhilaration as the storm whirled around them. The darkness and hostility of Dragonspine was banished by the light, warmth and love the two Knights shared. Responsibilities, fears, dangers, it all felt so insignificant in each other’s arms, as they both pushed each other to the precipice of climax.
“Amber, hah, I can’t... Hold back any more.” Eula whined, clinging tightly around Amber’s back.
“I’m... Close too,” Amber gasped, her words choked out by breathy moans. “Inside, please! I need you to!”
Holding desperately to Eula, the building pleasure finally pushing her over the edge, Amber came. Her motions stalled, her gasps and cries faltering into utter breathlessness as she collapsed against Eula. And then, that feeling of renewed warmth filled her too, Eula’s cum releasing from her cock in roiling waves, bathing Amber’s core in proof of the Captain’s love. All her world was Eula. Just Eula. Everything else became irrelevant in this moment, in her presence, as if all her senses existed just for Eula. The feeling of her skin, of her chest as it rose and fell as she panted down desperate, ragged lungfuls of air. The thundering of her chest as Amber lay atop her. The sensation of her warm breath as she began to calm. The gentle arms of her love wrapped around her as the sheets were pulled over them. And the residual sensation of Eula’s cock, still in her but motionless, neither willing to commit to pulling away or pulling out.
Eula broke the silence first, her voice a pleasant, reassuring lilt in Amber’s ear. “That was...”
“So fucking good,” Amber giggled, snuggling against Eula’s shoulder.
Eula pouted. “Such an awfully uncouth way of putting it.”
“I don’t see much use in pretending to be all coy and innocent after what we just got up to.”
“W-well this is harder for someone from my background, Amber. Such etiquette and courtly instincts come naturally to me, even in... Inappropriate circumstances.”
Amber was torn between exhaustion and desire. And, unsurprisingly, horniness won out once again. She stretched a shaky arm out to prop herself up, examining Eula beneath her. With her illness fading and her strength returning, Eula still seemed to have a surprising amount of stamina left in her. And, most important of all, Amber could see her getting hard again.
“Say, Eula, how many days do you think it will be until the rest of the squad returns?”
“One. Maybe two. Why?”
A mischievous smirk curled on Amber’s lips. “Then we best make good use of our remaining time alone, don’t you think?”
“You’re utterly insatiable Amber. For that, you leave me no choice but to enact my... Vengeance.”
---
“Is that everything you have to report?” Jean said, tapping the papers against the desk and glancing up at the arguing duo in front of her.
The debriefing went about as well as any other Amber had to share with Eula, the duo butting heads and trying to shift the blame for any mistakes onto each other. The delays, the close calls, the injuries, every detail was argued over as Eula once again tried to make the case for Amber to be moved under her wing in the reconnaissance company.
At least this time, Amber finally understood the reason Eula was so protective. Yet not even requited love could stop them from arguing in front of the Acting Grand Master.
“I...” Eula hesitated. “I suppose there is one more detail we must confess to.”
“Eula’s right,” Amber felt Eula’s fingers brush nervously against her hand, prompting her to grab onto and entwine her grip with Eula, squeezing reassuringly. “We’ve started dating.”
Dating was probably the wrong word for it. She barely knew the words to express what their relationship was now. Amazing, wonderful, loving, those are all the kinds of words she’d use to describe it, but what meaning could they possibly hold for Jean? As for the truth of how deep their relationship was, they hadn’t even been on a date yet, but she could hardly admit to Jean that they’d just been going at it non-stop in the tent while Eula’s squad was away.
Jean sighed. “Looks like I owe Lisa five hundred mora.”
“What?” Eula said.
“Lisa insisted on making a bet that you two would finally stop bickering and get together before the end of the year. I just lost that bet.”
“It... Was it that obvious to everyone else?” Amber pouted, her cheeks turning red in embarrassment. Had everyone in the Knights known about their mutual pining before they themselves had realised it?
“Yes. I’m really happy to see you two overcome your disagreements about your assignments like this, even if it means I’m out of pocket for it.” Jean smiled. “Oh, and one more thing before you two leave for the post-assignment celebrations. Eula, just because you’re now dating Amber, that does not mean I will be reassigning her to the reconnaissance company. My reasons remain the same as before. Try not to get too drunk again tonight, Captain.”
Eula stared down at Jean with a scowl. “Heed my words, Jean, I shall... Ugh, never mind. Let’s go, Amber.”
Eula continued to mumble her plots of retribution as she stomped her way out of Jean’s office, Amber following after her to try to console the Captain before she drowned herself in a bottle of dandelion wine.
