Chapter Text

The crashed ilithid ship was far enough away now that the smoke wasn't so acrid and pungent. In unspoken agreement, both Tav and Shadowheart settled down on the hillside, looking down at the shattered ruin of the ship that had captured them both. It was good to be out of there, certainly, but they were both still carrying the results of what had been done to them on it.



"This would be so much easier if it was dark outside," Shadowheart said with a scowl, looking around at the sunny hillside, the birds starting to sing once more as they recovered from the shock of the crash. Tav would need rather longer himself before he could get over it. "All-concealing night hiding my path and ensuring that arrogant green-skinned woman can't find me again if she changes her mind."



"Find us," Tav corrected as he looked down at the river valley, not seeing any signs of life, ilithid or otherwise. "We're in this together."



"Just don't get all preachy with me about the benefits of worshipping Selune," Shadowheart sniffed, pointing her nose up in the air. "Nothing you've said yet has meant anything at all to me compared to Shar and I don't see how that could possibly change."

"Yes, well, if you keep on talking about your goddess, I'll keep on talking about mine," Tav said testily, fingering the amulet that hung from his neck. 'Though you'd think that the night and the moon would be able to get along decently well."

Shadowheart sniffed again at that, which was a more tolerant response than Tav had gotten the few times he had mentioned anything similar to other clerics of Selune. Shadowheart was the first follower of Shar that Tav had ever actually interacted with, as mace blows didn't count.



Tav had to admit that Shadowheart was quite the good-looking half-elf. Taller than him by a shade, clear, pale skin, long black hair that was quite beautiful and even her armor didn't hide how well-shaped her body was. A man could very much enjoy looking at her.



And a man could look at Tav without realizing that he wasn't looking at another woman, too. One that was less womanly than Shadowheart so clearly was but that was not a huge reassurance for Tav and something that he had been aware of for a long, long time now, ever since he had started growing up.



Despite cutting his brown hair fairly short but it was still very silky and shiny despite him not doing much about it. His skin wasn't as pale and clear as Shadowheart's but it still hadn't taken much sun and embarrassment (or other emotions) could show up on his cheeks pretty clearly. And his face was slender and somewhat girlish, though more so than the rest of his body, at least.



Maybe if he had devoted himself to a more martial lifestyle, he wouldn't look so much like a woman but he had been enchanted by Selune and the thought of glorifying her by traveling down a moonlit road into the unknown as a small boy. And from there, well, he had become a cleric. Very recently, his official amulet hadn't even had the time to get a single scratch or dent in it but he was still officially a cleric of Selune.



At any rate, a cleric of Selune and Shar ending up trapped together like this by invisible bonds… how the gods must laugh over this. Though not Selune and what he knew of Shar, she never found much humor in anything.



Ta realized that one of his hands had slid up along the side of his head and was pressed against the top of his skull. It wasn't like he was going to get the tadpole out that way and thinking about it just made him shiver as he considered it. He swallowed hard and pulled his hand away, firmly grabbing it with the other and taking a few deep breaths. That helped to calm him down a bit though the bigger problem of that thing still living inside of his head and slowly preparing to turn him into a brain-eating monster was still one that he would have to deal with, the sooner the better. And Shadowheart was in the exact same position, too.



"Tell you what," Shadowheart said, straightening up and a smile starting to play across her face. "I have an idea about how this can go." She rubbed her hands together and nodded, looking very pleased with herself. "We're both going to be staying together because we both need these tadpoles out of our head, right?" She tapped the side of her head as Tav nodded in agreement. He was sure that he couldn't actually feel the parasite wiggling around inside of his brain but his imagination was doing a good job of convincing him otherwise. "So if by the time that we finally find a cure of a remedy or whatever it might take, if you're still upholding your half of the bargain, I'll uphold mine. I'll convert to worshipping The Tide-Maker alongside you."

"Really?" Tav asked, perking up quickly. That sounded… good. Very, very good indeed. Getting people to follow Selune was worthwhile all on its own but getting not just a follower of Shar but an actual ordained cleric of hers to cross over would be so much better. But what was the other half of the deal that he would be upholding? "And in exchange?"

"Well," Shadowheart said, licking her lips and staring at Tav with a certain heat in her eyes, "I would put you in as cage. And control it."

"And how exactly do you expect us to do anything if I'm locked in a cage?" Tav asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"No, no, not that kind of cage," Shadowheart shivered and took a deep breath, looking very pleased with herself indeed right now. "I was thinking that it would be this kind of cage."

She muttered a spell underneath her breath and flexed her fingers. And then a shining bit of magic appeared, reshaping itself into a small device. Tav stared at it for a long moment before the coin dropped in his head.



"A chastity cage?" He asked, leaning backwards away from it. "Are you out of your mind?"

"Not at all," Shadowheart said, a blush appearing on her cheeks as she stared at it and then at Tav. "I think that it would work out really well if you were wearing this sort of thing, actually."



"And why is that?" Tav asked, standing up from his spot on the grass and putting himself in front of Shadowheart.

"It won't get in the way of you fighting or casting any spells, of course," Shadowheart said, her voice very ragged and quite clearly feeling very good about herself right now. "It would just be our little secret, just something that only you and me know about." She took another deep breath and sighed, the arousal more and more evident on her face as she kept on switching her gaze between Tav's crotch and his face.



Tav hadn't had all that much experience with pretty women before, despite how much he thought about them. It wasn't as if there had been all that much time for him to pick up on that sort of thing and now he was paying the price. Shadowheart wasn't dressed very erotically or anything but she was still pretty enough that when Tav pictured her naked, his pale cheeks started to burn bright red and he could feel his heart quickly pounding away inside of his chest. He coughed and blushed and squirmed from foot to foot, all too aware that at the moment, there was no way at all something that size could possibly fit around his penis.



Shadowheart seemed aware of it as well. She glanced down at his crotch and then a big smile appeared on her face as she leaned backwards, still holding the cage in one hand.



"I didn't even need to promise anything, did I?" She asked with an amused lilt to her voice. "I could have just offered this up and that would have been enough for you."

"No," Tav said, worried that he was lying. "I wouldn't have agreed to that. But this…" he blushed some more and nodded, wondering if this was the right call but feeling far too horny to disagree to the idea. "I can do anything to get to see the silver light of Selune."

"Uh huh," Shadowheart said in an indifferent tone. "Just remember, if you start asking for this to come off, I'll do it but the deal is off."

"I'm not the type to back down," Tav said stiffly, shaking his head back and forth quickly, "when this is over, I'll still be wearing this."

"Though obviously you won't be putting it on right away," Shadowheart said, stroking Tav's crotch through his pants. "You really are enjoying this idea, aren't you?"

Tav shifted from side to side and didn't say anything. There simply wasn't anything that he could think of to say right now and the way he was still so aroused right now really was distracting him from anything else. He took a few deep breaths that didn't do much to calm himself down and then looked at Shadowheart, who was still looking hugely amused at all of this.



"This can take care of itself," Tav said stiffly, much like his cock. "Until then… um…"

"I have a better idea instead of wasting time," Shadowheart said. "This cage isn't the only little cantrip I've learned. There's something that can help you out with that."

Tav was about to ask what that would be but Shadowheart wasn't waiting around. She waved a hand along her crotch again and Tav's eyes widened as a dildo started to rise out from it, poking out from her armor like… like something he had no real way to describe. It was just sticking out from there and he swallowed hard as he stared at it, having a vague idea where this was going and thinking that he wasn't liking it that much.



"I've gotten a lot more use out of this cantrip than the cage one," Shadowheart laughed. "From both ends, if you know what I mean."

"No," Tav said, shaking his head. "What do you mean?"

Shadowheart paused at that and opened and closed her mouth a few times. Then she shook her head and kept on pushing forward.



"The important thing is that I can use it to get that cock of yours presentable and ready for this," Shadowheart said, putting the cage in a pocket on her belt. She rubbed her hands together and licked her lips as she stared down at Tav. "It should feel really, really good for you, too."

Tav was as hard as a rock right now and it felt strange and kind of uncomfortable to have his cock rubbing against the insides of his clothes like this. He swallowed hard, not quite believing that he was going to have sex at a time like this, with a person like Shadowheart. But on the other hand, it seemed like far too good a chance for him to possibly pass up.



"I'll do it," Tav said, his voice cracking a bit as he coughed and blushed some more.



"Good to hear," Shadowheart said, rubbing her hands together. "Now, all I'll need from you is to turn around and bend against that boulder."

Tav did as he was instructed, aware that his ass was sticking out quite a bit right now, shaking back and forth. He was also aware of how plump his butt was, despite how much he had exercised to try and lose weight there. His cheeks burned at that and he swallowed hard as he felt the hands grabbing onto his clothes and pulling them apart.



"Isn't this cute?" Shadowheart asked. There was a happy, eager note in her voice right now, something that Tav wasn't sure how he felt about. But there was no point in debating the issue now, not when she was rubbing back and forth against him like this. He shuddered, taking a deep, deep breath as he felt the magically-made dildo rubbing back and forth against his butt and thighs. "I didn't know you had a rear like this. It's really making me think…" She squeezed down on the cheeks and Tav stifled a moan.



Part of that was how sensitive he was there and part of it was because it was intensely erotic to have a woman like Shadowheart doing this to him and groping him like this. It really did make him shiver and swallow hard and his hard cock throb underneath him. Though when he tried to reach down to grab it, Shadowheart batted his hands away.



"No need to worry about that," she said as she kept on grabbing Tav's ass, kneading his cheeks firmly. "I'll be the one taking care of what you're feeling. Just relax."

Tav blushed, having a clearer and clearer idea of what was coming for him and what it might be like. Well, maybe only the first part. He had no idea at all what the latter would be like but he could only wait and prepare himself. He shifted and squirmed as he felt a cleaning spell from Shadowheart working at his rear, emptying him out back there with some sounds that he did his best not tp pay attention to. And he really did feel clean and kind of slick back there when it was done, which was an intensely unusual feeling, to say the least.



"And now we're ready, I'd say," Shadowheart said brightly. "Are you ready, Tav?"

Tav blushed and nodded quickly, gripping the rock as tightly as he could as he tried to get himself ready for what was about to happen. He breathed in and out, trying to get himself ready.



Though nothing could really have prepared him for the feeling of the dildo pressing against his rear. Tav let out a number of very strange sounds as he felt that rubbing back and forth against his exit and then Shadowheart was pushing inside of him.



That was an even stranger feeling. Much stranger indeed and he mewled as he felt himself getting opened up by the shaft, feeling it plunging inside of him. Tav was glad that nobody, himself included, could see his face right now as he got stuffed with that dildo.



It did feel good, in a way, but mostly it felt strange. Very, very strange indeed. Nothing quite like anything else that he had ever felt and he swallowed hard as he tried to get used to that sensation back there. He could only pant and shake his head back and forth as he felt the shaft sliding this way and that, slowly pushing deeper inside of him with each thrust as Shadowheart clung tightly to his hips.



Then the dildo pressed against something inside of him that made Tav's eyes cross and his cock jerk. He whimpered at that, a very feminine sound as he felt the pulsing sensation inside of his lower belly. That was- that was not what he had been expecting. He shivered and opened and closed his mouth, unable to think of anything to say right now as he felt that happening.



"Oh my," was the best that he could manage and that really did not sum up what he was feeling right now. "That's, ah!"

"That's good," Shadowheart said with a laugh. "And it will get better. You just keep on relaxing and let me handle this, alright?" She groped his ass, squeezing down firmly on his rear as she started to push back and forth even faster than before. "I'll take really good care of you."

Tav blushed and lowered his head against his forearms as he felt her starting to pick up the pace. She was going faster and faster now, thrusting in and out of him again and again. And each time she pushed forward, the tip of her dildo pressed against that spot inside of him, making him yelp and squirm as strange shocks of sexual pleasure ran through his body.



Tav was already feeling hugely aroused and turned on right now and this kind of treatment was only getting him even more worked up. And very quickly, at that. He was already very turned on and having Shadowheart doing this to him was providing the last bit of stimulation that he would need. He whimpered and moaned and clawed at the rock in front of him and it didn't do much to distract from just how good he was feeling.



After a few more thrusts, Tav simply couldn't take it any longer. His cock started to throb and twitch without anything touching it and then he let out a loud sound from deep in his soul. He could feel the orgasm forming and there was simply no way at all that he could stop or would want to stop it. It simply happened and it felt great as it did so.



He sprayed the boulder in front of him with a few shots of cum, his cock throbbing and swinging side to side and up and down as it happened. He gasped loudly, his eyes going wide as he felt this happening to him. It was a good feeling, a very intense feeling and he was panting for breath as he tried to cope with it.



He let out some more strange, happy sounds as he rode the wave, feeling himself getting caught up in the best and the strangest orgasm that he had ever experienced. It was hard to describe but he really liked it. He loved it, in fact, even though his cock hadn't been touched at any point by either himself or Shadowheart.



"There we go," Shadowheart said, sounding pleased with the results. "Now that thing will get small enough for the cage."

"Ah," Tav said eloquently. "Um." He shivered and shook his head from side to side. "Wow."

"Wow indeed," Shadowheart giggled. "You've got quite the fuckable ass, don't you?" She squeezed down on it, digging her fingers into the plump curves. "It's quite the fun thing to fuck for the both of us."

Tav just shook his head and staggered off to the side before slumping against a tree. His heart was still pounding quickly inside of his chest and he was licking his lips as he looked at Shadowheart. She was certainly someone worth looking at, as she dismissed the dildo cantrip and produced the cage she had stored away.



"Why…" there were quite a few questions Tav could ask right now but he decided to focus on only the one, "why do you have something like that?"

"Hm?" Shadowheart laughed, shaking her head back and forth. "Shar teaches us all sorts of tricks and spells to lock away precious things," Shadowheart said in way of explanation as she ran a hand along Tav's slowly shrinking cock, sliding her fingers underneath to stroke the hairless balls. "And then there's the spells for pleasure and enjoyment."



Shar worshippers really were something else, weren't they? Tav shook his head back and forth as he tried to make sense of that but he was feeling too worn out in a very good way to do much about it. Instead, he took a few more deep breaths and stared at Shadowheart as she leaned forward, opening up the cage a bit.



It was pretty disturbing how easily that thing locked into place around his cock. Then she tightened it and Tav squirmed more than a bit as he felt it pressing against his dick. It wasn't uncomfortable or anything but it was something that he was intensely aware of and he was quite worried that he would only grow more aware of it later on if he got aroused again.



And looking at Shadowheart, there was just no way that he could fail to get turned on by her. Just look at her, really. It wasn't happening yet but it would happen and when it did… Tav just didn't know what he was going to do about that. Maybe it would be a simple day-long thing. And maybe it wouldn't.



Whatever the case might be, Tav couldn't deny that he was locked up like a… like a something, at least. He didn't know the right word for it and he couldn't imagine that the right word would be one that he liked applying to himself.



"So cute," Shadowheart mused as she ran her hand bac and forth along Tav's caged cock, biting her lip as she stared down at it and took a few deep breaths. "It just looks right down there." She patted the slightly shining magical construct and then slipped the tip of her finger underneath to press against Tav's freshly emptied balls. "I can't wait to see how quickly you ask to be let out of it."

"You'll be waiting for a long, long time for that," Tav said, showing some bravado that hopefully wasn't just empty posturing. "And remember your end of the deal."

"Oh, don't you worry about that," Shadowheart said with a giggle and a nod. "I don't go back on my word."

That would be something of a first for a Sharrian but Tav decided not to bring that up. Instead, he pulled his clothes back into position over his body and still felt Shadowheart's eyes wandering back and forth along him, clearly enjoying what she was seeing. Or maybe what her mind was seeing instead, it was hard to say for sure.



"Now," Tav coughed into his hand, trying to get his mind focused on what really mattered and not what had just been done to him and how good it might have felt, "what do we do next? Any ideas?"

"I don't even know where in the world we are," Shadowheart said with a frown, glancing back down the hillside at the crashed ship. "Or even what world we're on. I suppose we should go and find someone to help give us some ideas about where to go next. And…" she tapped her forehead, something that Tav completely agreed with.



This was not the kind of adventure that Tav had ever pictured himself having but it wasn't like he could back out of it. He just had to go on and see what was in store for him. And for Shadowheart. And as for the deal between the two of them, well… he blushed and adjusted the fit of his leather armor a bit more. Nobody but the two of them needed to know about that and maybe even the two of them wouldn't need to do anything about it. If he could just keep himself under control…



Which would include not walking behind Shadowheart like he was right now, not with how easy it was for his eyes to go down to her butt, picturing what it would look like through her armor. Blushing hard and swallowing deeply, Tav hurried in front of her as they kept on climbing the hill, getting an odd look from her but nothing more.



Once he got in front, pushing through the tall grass, Tav could take a few deeper breaths as he tried to get used to all of this. Comfort and familiarity would come in time, he supposed. And until then… until then, he would just have to turn his mind to bigger problems. Once he solved them, the smaller stuff could be taken care of at leisure.



Or so he hoped, at least.
