Chapter 7 - Farewells are the hardest~

Wow, you guys wouldn't believe the day I've had. I went to the store to buy some pizza to consume whilst reading some awesome fan-fiction, and on the way I was attacked by Giant Mutant Ants! Everyone was in a panic and many people sadly died. Luckily, a time-warping techno-magician showed up and defeated the Ants before there were any more casualties. However by that point, my pizza was cold... and it was no longer the 4th. I begged the Time-warping Techno-magician to send me back in time so I could go back  and instead order my pizza to be delivered and in turn avoid the Giant Mutant Ants altogether, but sadly he said only Techno-Magicians can Time-Warp... I'm so sorry its late guys and gals, but please understand... t-the giant ants prevented me...

But seriously this chapter was reaaaally hard to write. This is the first time ever, like ever, that I've written smut. And I gotta say, it felt good haha. I'm not sure if I'm any good at it, probably not, but this interaction needed to happen for various reasons... there's reasons I promise. I'm not going to bother putting it in a spoiler like some other authors do because right from the get go my fic was labeled as mature. This won't be a frequent thing as Eran isn't driven by his genitals like many other MC's. And please for the love of god, don't label Cass the Bass as a slut. She's not, she's just an innocent (Not so innocent anymore) pervy inn girl. Without further ado, enjoy reading, or in the case you read the chapter first as this fore-note is becoming increasingly longer, enjoy writing a comment and maybe dropping a fav and rating :) Expect a big chapter for number 8, just the summary is like 2k words. And summaries are meant to be small... Ugh...

----------------------------------------

The month had quickly passed Eran by.

Focused on earning the necessary wages to attend University in Astr, Eran worked every day only stopping for food, and breaks forced on him by the Innkeeper.

During his employment, a rumor had spread throughout Beaufort and all of the surrounding villages. ‘Within the Sleepy Meadow Inn resides a grey flower’.

During his employment, much to the Innkeepers delight, there was nearly a triple in customers. Strangely enough the majority of them were female.

All though working his hardest, Eran had however spent a lot of time with the Old Librarian, discussing literature and history, and Cassidy. Before he knew it they had become very close.

Often Eran would find his gaze wandering over towards her during his shift, and for reasons beyond him, he would even volunteer to take her into town to carry her shopping.

Never before had Eran felt such a focused curiosity, yet he wasn’t perturbed by it.

Whether Eran knew it or not, Cassidy felt much the same.

Ever since the night she had met him, since the moment he lightly kissed her hand and spoke to her with soft words, her eyes would always find him.

Cassidy had long had an interest in the opposite sex, working in an Inn surrounded by couples made it hard not to be, however she had little to zero experience herself.

The furthest she had ever gone was watching a particularly vigorous couple ravage each other. Watching the man dominate his partner had made her warm. But it wasn’t an overbearing heat, unlike when she had decided to peek in on Eran through a hole in the wall in an abandoned room.

Seeing him disrobe to reveal a chiseled body without a single flaw made her breath catch. As he started to remove his trousers and stood fully nude her pulse quickened. By the time Eran had made it to the bath Cassidy had to physically hold herself together and couldn’t help but let a small gasping sound escape her lips.

Unbeknownst to her, the thick dry walls between the two rooms, had somewhat muffled her moans and instead of sounding lustful and seductive, to Eran they sounded like creepy laughing.

During his month and a week of employment, Cassidy had visited the abandoned room to peep through the hole several times, each time getting more and more adventurous.

However she wasn’t stupid. She knew full well that the attraction wasn’t merely physical. She also found herself drawn to his mysterious presence and aura. Whilst his face was kind and shy and soft, his eyes in contrast held such power and force, that by just being touched by his gaze made her quiver.

All of the attraction, and the way he was now looking at her made it hard for Cassidy, her chest felt like it may burst. It hurt so much. To have such strong feelings for someone, only to find out that they wanted to leave.

The pain in her chest had started the morning he asked about University. She knew immediately that he was thinking of going, so she gave him a quick explanation and left the room telling him to seek her mother. After leaving him, she immediately went to her room and collapsed on her bed, clutching where her heart felt it would be.

That night she cried herself to sleep, both because of the pain, and because she was scared. Scared of the man who made her feel like this.

The next day the pain ebbed, her mother had told her he would be staying for a full month. Elated at the thought of spending so much time with him made her remaining tension dissolve away.

Cassidy would make the most of her time left with Eran, and revel in his company.

----------------------------------------

Eran after finishing his final shift found himself in a familiar situation. He now stood before the Innkeepers desk to announce that he had finished his work.

“Well Eran, you've certainly earned your promised wages” she said as she slid a very fat sack of gold across the table to him.

“I noticed last time that you waited to check your wages. Very cute, but I’m not that easily insulted.” The innkeeper said giving him a large grin. “Go ahead”

As Eran opened the bag, he was rewarded with the sight of silver and gold.

“With how much you were tipped, you’d think there isn't a single handsome man in all of Astra” she said while chuckling, “You were tipped to a total amount of 19 gold and 67 silver, combined with your promised wages is…”

“34 gold and 67 silver” Eran quickly cut in, doing the math in his head.

Eran now had 37 gold and 67 silver, which included the 3 gold remaining of his previous wages.

“…Enough to attend University, was what I was going to say” she said with a sly grin.

Eran barely heard her as his mind was fixated on the amount of money he now possessed. Not only did he have enough to study at the University for a year, he had more than enough left over for whatever he wanted.

“Eran I know you think that is a lot of money, and to most it is, but know this. You deserve that and more for what you have done for my business. So, to reflect that, whenever you’re in town, you may stay at the Sleepy Meadow free of charge as a sort of Honored Guest. This is a selfish gift, because it means you have an obligation to check in every once and while” The innkeeper finished with a somewhat sad smile.

“I can’t believe this, thank you so much Innk-” Eran started.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

All of a sudden Eran realised something. In all of this time, he hadn’t even asked her name.

“I-I can’t believe it, I don’t even know your name, and I’ve just called you Innkeeper till now…” he said with a look of both shock and disgust at himself. His only benefactor in this world gave him even more than he could hope for, and he didn’t even ask her name.

The Innkeeper laughed out loud and smiled fondly at him.

“My name is Calina Meadows, but to you I am Calina.” She said with a wink.

After talking a little longer, Eran soon departed to his second floor room for what was the final time.

Following what had become a ritual over the past month, Eran undressed and moved to have a bath.

Only this time, for the first time in several weeks, his next door neighbors were silent. There was no strange noises coming into his room.

Despite what one would think, Eran had grown used to the mysterious noise and found that in its absence, he felt strangely empty.

Finishing his bath even more quickly than when there was a noise, Eran got dressed in his evening clothes and was about to hop onto his bed when there was a knock on his door.

The knock was soft, so the fist that made it must have been either a very small man, or a woman. Guessing it was a maid he walked over and opened it with a smile.

Standing there, illuminated in the darkness by the glow of soft candlelight, was the divine figure of a woman encased in a  light, see through night gown.

Raising his gaze slowly, combing over the woman’s body, Eran soon stood face to face with her.

It was Cassidy.

She looked at him with a fully flushed face.

“M-m-may I come in?” she asked him whilst stammering.

Eran had to swallow his saliva before nodding.

As soon as she had entered the room, she made her way to stand between him and the bed.

Eran could feel his heart beating like a drum. He had never had any experience with women, as they had all but hated him on Earth, nor had he ever seen pornography as he didn’t own a computer. Not that he would have, had he owned one.

But seeing her in his room, in the middle of the night, wearing that very… revealing night gown… left little margin for confusion. He knew full well what this meant.

“Eran I-” she had started to say something but was abruptly stopped by the pull of Erans arms. Spurned on-wards by a primordial force that predates civilization itself, Eran pulled her into himself and held her close as she seemed to fold into him.

As Cassidy gasped from the sudden action, Eran lowered his head and locked his mouth against hers.

Eran could feel the touch of her soft lips and could taste the sweetness of fruit.

As brittle as she had felt at first, Cassidy soon caught up to him and suddenly pushed her tongue into the recesses of Erans mouth.

Seemingly playing a bout of tonsil hockey, the two pushed, and squirmed, and grunted.

They had somehow made their way to the bed and were now messing up the sheets.

Eran moaned her name between long passionate kisses, which made Cassidy even more invigorated.

She pushed him onto his back and quickly mounted him.

“Cass… are you sure… I-I’m leaving Mmph” Eran tried saying whilst kissing her neck, “tomorrow…”

Hearing him made her stop the embrace and sit up. A look of sadness had washed over her face, but the fire in her eyes were still very much aflame. She leaned into him once more and kissed him with force.

So absorbed in the feeling of her lips and the pleasure of her tongue was he, that he hadn’t even noticed her remove his trousers… nor his boxers.

They were both now straddled, skin to skin. Cassidy broke the passionate kiss and a string of saliva filled the small distance between their faces.

Staring at each other, their eyes were full of carnal hunger.

Ever so slightly, Cassidy seemed to be halting at this point, so Eran made the rashest, grandest, and quite possibly happiest decision of his life.

Eran flipped her off of him, which elicited a small giggle from the girl, kissed her deeply, and whilst leaning in, with one quick but gentle push, had penetrated her.

An immediate feeling of warmth overwhelmed Erans mind, and he almost blacked out from the sheer pleasure.

Cassidy was saturated from the many kisses which let Eran easily move his girth back and forth.

Looking down, Eran noticed a little bit of blood coming out of Cassidy, but before he could stop, she had pulled his face back to her and was gazing at him lovingly.

“Keep going…” she said to him in a quiet, almost pleading voice.

Whilst gazing into her eyes, Eran started to buck his hips, slowly at first, but the longer it went, the faster he got.

After a few minutes since they started, Cassidy was no longer trying to be quiet and was now crying out loudly in pleasure. Both perspiring heavily, if one looked close enough, they could probably see steam coming off of them.

Whilst Eran didn’t know very much about sex, he had felt Cassidy tense up and moan especially loud several times throughout the intercourse.

Nearing the absolute limit of his endurance, Eran gave out an audible cry and felt an intense flare of pleasure spread through his genitals like wild fire.

Spurred on by the pleasure, Eran pushed as far and hard as he could into Cassidy making her moan out in an equally loud cry of ecstasy.

Out of breath and sweating, Eran pushed himself off of Cassidy and laid next to her.

After a few moments to catch his breath he looked to his side to see the most beautiful sight in his entire life.

Whilst glistening in a sheen of sweat that covered her rather large exposed breasts, Cassidy was staring at him with an expectant face.

Although tired, her eyes were almost glowing in the soft light. Her long brown hair was sticky with sweat and her breathing was haggard.

Comparing this appearance with the earlier neat and purposefully chosen makeup and clothing, one might consider her currently quite messy. But to Eran, she looked like an angel.

And like a moth drawn to a flame, he once more grabbed her by the waist, and consumed her whole.

The night continued filled with the vigor of youth, and as the light of the morning sun crept through the windows, the room slowly lit up to show a young man and woman, deep asleep in a loving embrace.
