Queen's Gambit

I fear it'll be a while until I'll get around to TwilightDragon's request for Allure Queen. As predicted I've been easily distracted by lots of other shiny things, but I've also started... well, I wouldn't exactly call it plotting in advance, but getting ideas in advance. Fortunately, s/he specified that it could be 'later in the story' so I can get away with it. ;)

Dunames Dark Witch


The woods eventually cleared, giving way to farmlands stretching all the way to the horizon.

"So how much further to Sanctuary?" Alexis asked.

"We're basically there," Paladin replied.

Alexis looked at the rows of corn and crops, then up to the blue, mildly cloudy and very empty sky.

"I see," she said.

Amazoness Paladin apparently ignored her and reached into her scarce clothes. Her hand came out holding a purple gem. She held it up and a beam of purple light shot up into the sky. The light was gone again before Alexis even had the time to be impressed.

"They'll be here in about fifteen minutes," Paladin said.

"Who will?"

Paladin shrugged. "Whoever's on duty."

It was, in fact, only five minutes when two shapes broke through the clouds. As they came closer, Alexis could make out a sleek white-and-red shape that looked very much like some kind of winged lion. It was followed by a more human-like winged figure in red armour. Before much longer, Majestic Mech Ohka and Dunames Dark Witch had landed on the ground. Alexis felt her Amazoness Tiger shift underneath her as though it wasn't sure whether to attack or flee.

"You're early," Paladin said.

"We were already underway when you signalled," Dunames said. "We sensed her coming." She grinned. "Or perhaps it wasn't her coming, if you know what I mean."

"You haven't changed," Paladin said.

"Neither have you," Dunames said. "So, uhm... how is she?"

"She's fine," Paladin replied. "I'll tell her you asked about her."

"Thanks," Dunames said. Then she brightened up again. "So, this is our walking vortex of lust, is it?"

"The name's Alexis," Alexis said. "And it's not my fault. Apparently."

"I know, I know, but still," Dunames said, "you are pretty much the reason why we suddenly had to relax a lot of public nudity laws."

"I... what?" Alexis said.

"Look, fairies are a lot more sensitive to magical disturbances than those warriors are," Dunames said. "Especially when emotion's involved somehow. Anyway, we're wasting time. Let's get going. Ohka here'll carry you."

"OK, I guess," Alexis said. "But who's going to carry Paladin?"

"I'm not coming," Paladin said.

"Why not?" Alexis asked.

"You're in capable hands now," Amazoness Paladin replied. "And like I said, I don't much like Sanctuary."

"Oh," said Alexis. "Well... I... it was nice meeting you. And thanks for all your help."

Paladin nodded. "It was nice meeting you as well," she said. "Even if you did unconsciously test my willpower."

Alexis got off her Amazoness Tiger and watched as Paladin wasted no time in turning around and leaving. Within moments, the forest had swallowed her.

"She didn't give me her card," Alexis muttered.

"What was that?" Dunamis Dark Witch asked.

Alexis shook her head. "Nothing. Let's get going, shall we?"

-----

The flight wasn't exactly what Alexis had been expecting. She didn't feel or even hear any rushing air and it didn't seem to get any colder even as Ohka effortlessly climbed higher and higher into the blue. Even staying seated on the Mech was a lot easier than it probably should have been. Magic was probably involved somehow.

Of course, Alexis wasn't really interested in the mechanics of her impossible flight, but it was a handy thing to focus on. The real problem was that she was still pretty horny after her encounter with Hibikime (not to mention waking up with Freya). She didn't really dare let her mind wander because she was fairly certain it would lead her to wonder what Dunames looked like without her armour. She wasn't really sure she should indulge in that kind of fantasy without knowing if Dunames approved. Then again, if she did approve it probably wouldn't stay with just fantasy.

It had been easier with Amazoness Paladin somehow. Maybe it had been because she respected the woman more or maybe it had been her air of being strictly off limits, but she just couldn't imagine her in any sexual way. That is to say, she could imagine it, but she would have to consciously force the image into her mind. Not so with Dunames. She wondered why that was.

"So, err," Alexis said, hoping that idle conversation would derail that train of thought, "you seemed to know Paladin."

"Pretty much," Dunames replied, her voice completely audible even though she was flying ahead.

"You seemed to know her girlfriend as well," Alexis said.

"Yeah, I do," said Dunames. "And I'd rather not talk about it. I mean, I'm over her, but... well it's not a very pleasant memory, you know."

"Sorry," said Alexis.

"Ah, that's OK," said Dunames. "Anyway, you were in the Amazoness village for a while, right?"

"Kind of," said Alexis. "I wouldn't exactly say I really stayed there. Why do you ask?"

"Did you see Freya?"

"The Spirit of Victory? Yeah. You could say that. Why?"

Dunames turned around in mid-air without apparent effort. There was a smile on her face. "Did you have fun?"

Alexis felt her smouldering arousal flare as memories of herself lapping at Freya's pussy while the blue-haired girl kissed her slit rushed into her mind.

"Woah, never mind," Dunames said. "I... Wow, I really shouldn't have asked."

"It's... it's OK," Alexis said. "And yes, if you must know, it was nice."

"More than just 'nice' by the feel of it," Dunames Dark Witch said.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, almost there," Dunames said.

Alexis was about to say something about that lame attempt to dodge the question when the sky began to shimmer. What had been an empty patch of air suddenly became the Sanctuary in the Sky. She knew that it would've been a collection of temples and such floating in the sky, but to actually see it was something else entirely. The cards back in her own dimension were just too small to really capture the radiant magnificence of this celestial complex.

Alexis didn't get the time to really marvel at the scenery, because the scenery was soon all around her as Ohka landed on a paved road. She slipped off the Majestic Mech and took a few random steps towards the nearest temple. A large relief was carved into the triangular roof and Alexis found her eyes curiously drawn towards it. A woman stood in the centre, looking straight ahead and presumably not seeing the mass of entwined bodies on either side of her.

"This is where you'll be staying," Dunames said.

Alexis turned around to face her just in time to spot Ohka disappearing into the distance. "Here?" she asked.

"Sure, why not?"

"It's a bit big for just me, isn't it?" Alexis said.

"Yeah, but it's isolated and anyway you won't be staying that long," Dunames replied.

"So you'll be able to send me home then?" Alexis said.

"I'm not really in charge about that," Dunames said. "I'm just here to look after you a bit, make sure you don't start public orgies, that sort of thing."

"I'm not..." Alexis started. "Forget it."

"Sure," said Dunames as she walked up to her to link arms. "Let's go check out your new rooms, shall we?"

-----

The tour of the temple -or whatever it was- had been remarkably quick, though Alexis was forced to admit she hadn't paid it much attention. Dunames Dark Witch herself was a lot more interesting than whatever she had to say about the numerous statues of various goddesses with serious wardrobe malfunctions. The armoured fairy talked easily and even stood quite casually, but there was an... edge there. As though her easygoing personality was just a front for the ruthless warrior lurking just underneath that pleasant surface.

"And this will be your bedroom," Dunames said.

Alexis gave it a quick glance. Like much of the rest of the place it was mostly white marble and red carpet. There weren't any statues here, but the large four-poster that dominated the room almost looked like an altar to a very... particular... kind of goddess.

"Nice," Alexis said.

"You won't be bothered here," Dunames said. "As long as you're here this building is off-limits to everyone except you and your guide."

"You, you mean," Alexis said as she drifted towards the bed.

"At the moment," said Dunames. "A lot of spells have been put on this place to... dampen the effect you have on reality."

"So there won't be any people sneaking into my room while I'm here?" Alexis said as she sat down on the bed. It was perfectly soft.

"Tough to say," Dunames replied. "Some people might just get curious, but at least you won't arouse lust in everybody else as long as you're here. Speaking of which, before you go out I'd suggest you... well, it'd smart if you masturbated."

"What?" said Alexis.

"Look, I know you're turned on right now. I can feel it. So can everybody else who lives here. And that only makes the effect you have on people all the stronger. So I think it'd be smart if you, you know, did something about it."

Alexis blushed. It would have been nice to say Dunames was wrong, but she wasn't. Worse, she now felt tempted to go out, just to see if she could find someone to indulge in the fantasy she'd had back in the Amazoness village with her.

"I don't seem to have that much of an effect on you," Alexis said, mostly in an attempt to push the image of naked bodies in the street from her mind.

"You do, trust me. But I'm disciplined enough to resist. Others... might not be."

Alexis leaned back a little, putting her hands down behind her and arching her back seductively. "So... I don't exactly have to relieve myself on my own. You'd be willing to help out, am I right?"

It took a while before Dunames replied. "I can't deny that. But why would you want me to?"

"Well, you're attractive, we're both in the mood, so why not?"

"And that's all?" Dunames asked in a tone of voice that made it clear she wasn't buying it.

"OK, no, it isn't," said Alexis. "Look, I can deal with the fact that I'm acting like some lesbian slut. In fact, it's been kind of fun. But I want to keep having sex on my terms, you know? It's... pretty tempting to just surrender completely to whatever's happening to me and I don't want that to happen. If I masturbate I'll fantasise and I'm not sure I'll be able to drag myself out of that fantasy again."

"But if you have sex with someone else you'll stay in the here-and-now and when it's done it's done?" Dunames asked.

"Well, not all the time," Alexis admitted. "Especially not when I'm about to come. But it's easier to recover."

Dunames sauntered over to the bed, then held up her hand. With a quick flash of light, her card appeared between her fingers.

"Here, take this," she said as she offered it to Alexis. "It might help later on. As for right now..."

As Alexis looked up from putting the Dunames Dark Witch card into her deck, she found the real Dunames's lips on her own. Her kiss was nice enough, but what Alexis really felt was her gloved hand coming to rest on her bare thigh. She closed her eyes and tried to focus on kissing Dunames, pretending that she wasn't acutely aware of the winged warrior's hand gliding underneath her skirt.

Nevertheless, when Alexis felt Dunames's hand pressing against her moist panties she couldn't suppress an aroused little gasp and didn't really want to. As she felt her smouldering arousal being kindled yet again, Alexis spread her legs invitingly and put one hand on the back of Dunames's head to pull her into a deeper kiss. Even if the Dark Witch had meant little with her own kiss, Alexis felt the urge to express some of the passion Dunames awoke within her.

But as much as she enjoyed the kiss and the way Dunames rubbed her panties against her increasingly wet slit, Alexis wasn't in the mood to take things slow. It was an ugly thought perhaps, but right now she just wanted to come. Her body had been screaming for attention all day and it wasn't about to settle for some pleasant, gentle stimulating.

Alexis carefully pushed Dunames away and started undressing. Dunames quickly began helping. Even as Alexis took off her duel disk and gloves, Dunames had quickly removed her boots and socks. By the time she had undone her shirt, Dunames had got rid of her skirt. Then, when she had disposed of her bra and exposed her generous breasts, Alexis lay down on her back and lifted her legs up into the air to help Dunames take off her last little garment more easily. The fairy eagerly did so, sliding the cotton panties up the slender limbs, then casually flinging them away as though they didn't matter. Now totally naked, Alexis lowered her legs again, but found herself forced to spread them obscenely as Dunames had placed herself between them.

A lustful moan erupted from Alexis's throat as Dunames kissed her wetness. It had only been last night that Freya had done her the same service, yet it seemed far too long ago. As Dunames lapped at her juices, Alexis felt her arousal flare again, but this time it wasn't a brief flash of heat. Instead, burning lust filled her body completely, setting fire to her nerves. Pleasure danced through her as Dunames's nimble tongue attended to her expertly.

Alexis looked up when she felt Dunames's tongue withdrawing. Panting with heat, she watched the winged woman sit up. Dunames's eyes glowed for a moment and then her red armour and helmet were gone, clattering onto the floor in some distant corner of the room.

"Neat trick," Alexis said.

Dunames gave a faint smile. "With wings like these, taking my armour off any other way would be difficult."

"I can imagine," said Alexis, allowing her eyes to wander across Dunames's now naked body.

"And for my next trick..."

Dunames held out her gloved hand. Her eyes glowed again and now she held... something. It took a few moments, but Alexis then realised that the dark red heap in her hand was a strap-on. Dunames wasted little time in putting it on and soon towered over Alexis, lightly stroking her fake cock.

"Ready?"

The thought that crept into Alexis's head amazed her, but she couldn't resist it. "Not yet," she said.

Alexis got up on all-fours, facing Dunames's red toy. She pushed away the fairy's hand and wrapped her own fingers around the shaft. She stroked the fake cock up and down a few times, watching Dunames watch her. Then she leaned in, allowing her lips to part and flicked the red tip with her tongue.

"I don't think that's necessary," Dunames said, her voice husky with lust.

Alexis just grinned and wrapped her lips around the strap-on. She took as much of the fake cock into her mouth as she could, letting her tongue dance around the shaft, coating it with saliva. Her head bobbed up and down the toy a few times, making it shinier every time.

Alexis soon withdrew her mouth from the toy and looked up to see Dunames watching her with naked desire. Grinning impishly, she turned around and, still on all-fours, presented herself to the winged warrior.

A single shuddering breath escaped from Alexis's lips when she felt the tip of Dunames's gloved hands coming to rest on her hips and her fake cock pressing against her wet opening. It was true that the small coating of saliva was nothing compared to the lubrication her aroused body had already provided and so the toy pushed into her with ease. Heated pleasure quickly spread through Alexis's trembling body again, but it was mixed with annoyance. She knew she should appreciate the way Dunames entered her slowly and carefully, trying her utmost best to avoid hurting her in any way. Unfortunately, Alexis wasn't feeling that patient.

Tiring of Dunames's slow entry, Alexis pushed back, impaling herself on the fairy's fake cock. She moaned with slightly agonised pleasure when she found herself filled far more than she ever had been. It felt weird, but on the other hand, so very good. Alexis began moving back and forth, delighting in the way her pussy slid along the dark red shaft, but making sure she didn't let its whole length enter her again. Not every time, in any case.

Dunames quickly picked up on Alexis's desires and ceased being slow and carefully. Instead she started fucking her in earnest, timing her thrusts with the movement's of Alexis body. Alexis stared steadfastly down at the bed, her hair had slid off her back and now hung down her shoulder, her breasts were swinging and her breath deteriorated into a ragged panting. What energy that wasn't spent on experiencing wild, raw pleasure each time Dunames crashed into her and she crashed into Dunames was devoted solely to staying on all-fours and not falling down onto the bed. It was a losing battle as she felt the lustful fire consuming her, but her body was on animalistic instinct now and it had no intention of stopping.

Until she came, of course. With one fierce snarl, Alexis plunged her body onto Dunames's fake cock, letting it fill her for as far as it could and sending her spiralling into orgasm. She groaned deeply, her body at once freezing and shuddering as she soared up into mindless, lustful bliss.

When her orgasm passed, Alexis's strength really did desert her and she collapsed on top of the bed. She took a few deep breaths, then rolled onto her back to see Dunames looking at her fondly.

"Wow," Dunames said.

"Shouldn't that be... my line?" Alexis panted.

"Sort of," Dunames said.

"That was... great," Alexis said.

"Good," said Dunames. "Do you want me to stay or...?"

"Hmm? I don't really mind," Alexis said as she closed her eyes and let herself sink into tired satisfaction.

"I'll leave you now, then," said Dunames. "Sleep well."

"Mmm," said Alexis as she dozed off.
