Chapter 28 An unwelcome visit...

I felt her leg slide up between my own, the silky smoothness of it causing a charge that was made much more potent by the small jolt of static shock it created. She leaned in and placed her face into my neck, her breath tickling the fur on my collarbone as she wrapped both arms around me and slid them through the fur on my lower back, curving around as she followed the contours of my body and found the quivering source of my heat, her fingers slowly messaging the burning flesh with a sort of tinder ease. Slowly she spread my lower lips wide with her pointer finger and ring finger and curled her middle finger inside, running it along the slick ridges coated in moister-

The door practically splintered and light flooded the room as five armed guards charged in followed closely by the cowering form of the Inn’s owner and a curious maid or two. Everyone froze as they saw us tangled in each other like that on the bed, several cheeks darkening as blood rushed to their heads, and from the awkward shuffling of a few men to another location on their bodies. Quickly I brought my tail up and around to shield both of us from the prying eyes and extricated her hand from between my legs. Seri was flushed and angry looking her cheeks a dark red, but I was not sure if that was due to the anger or embarrassment to be caught in such a situation as this.

“What is the meaning of this?” She screeched the words and the captain cleared his throat and pulled out a scroll from his belt, before clearing his throat again, this time for a different reason and started to read.

“Suspicion of your involvement in a burglary has lead us to be given authority by the council to search your residence or place of occupation for the missing valuables, effective immediately,” he looked at the two of us and gave us a grim smile. “Now, if you would please vacate the room it and remain with the Sargent over there we will begin searching your belongings.”

“You just want us to get up and walk out?” Seri asked, incredulous.

“Well, yes,” he said looking confused.

“Without any clothes on?” She asked her voice rising even higher, the grip she had on the fur of my tail tighter.

“Uh,” it was obvious that he had orders that didn't permit him to have the two of them out of sight, but it would seem as though he had a sort of sense of dignity, in fact, he had even brought down a female guard officer, probably to have her search us for the stolen silver and ledgers and the likes. He stood there not knowing what to do so I decided to help him out a little.

“Rinmua wonders if it is possible for the men to step out, perhaps the female guard and one of the maids is enough to ensure all that she and Sarena do is get some clothes on no?” the guard captain turned his eyes towards me a slightly thankful look in them and nodded.

“We can do that, Men!” he snapped, “Everyone out, Malura, you and the maid keep an eye on them and if anything happens give a shout.” he was ten quick to usher the four male guards out of the room and back into the hallway. The door shut with a solid thump and as it did so Seri sighed and pushed her way out from behind the wall of fur that was my tail, rolling off of the bed and strode over naked towards the small bag that held her clothing. I watched her walk across the room, practically salivating at the sway of her hips and shooting a glare at the other two women in the room to let them know that that was mine.

And damn if I didn't hurt, I ached in very deep places and I wanted nothing more than to find a release, what made it worse however was the fact that as she leaned over to pull up her panties the light reflected off of a single streak of liquid that ran from in-between her legs down the inside of her thigh. Swallowing I looked away from the enticing display and also rolled out of bed, feeling irritated and achy, feeling unsatisfied. Both of the women turned to look at me but honestly, it didn't bother me, after all, I was still used to walking around completely naked at all points in time, so having people stare at me while I was nude was nothing new, I had seventeen years of experience of that…

Padding over I pulled my clothing out of the pile I had discarded it in and slipped my legs into the shorts, pulling them up and shimmying back and forth swaying my hips slightly to move my tail out of the way to pull them up as far as it would allow. The shirt as always was trouble however, I slipped it over my head and attempted to pull it down over my chest but it just wasn't working. “Come here kitten,” Seri sighed and I walked over, the shirt still bunched up around my neck, with both arms threw and it bunched up under my armpits. She grabbed the edge of the hem and instructed me to lift my arms, which I did, she then reached up and pulled the shirt down across my breasts and then reached a hand up and adjusted my chest so that it was more comfortable before tying the side with me.

Stolen novel; please report.

“She thanks you,” I whispered, still feeling embarrassed. I could have put it on myself, but I was not very good at it ad it would have taken me longer, I would have been adjusting my breasts for several minutes attempting to get them to not rub uncomfortably against the fabric or to be pressed in an awkward way. The guard woman cleared her throat and we both looked over at her, both she and the maid were blushing something fierce.

“Done?” She asked looking at the two of us.

“She is,” I nodded, and Seri also nodded, to which she opened the door and allowed the rest of the guard back into the room.

“Once again I apologize for that, our orders were to make this quick and thorough.”

“She wonders what they are accusing Rin and Seri of?” I ask, pressing myself against Seri’s side, her arm came up and wrapped around my shoulder and I curled my tail around the both of our legs.

“Robbery,” he said, and turned back to the guards with him. “Search it, search everything.”

“Please be careful with my pack,” Sarena said, “I put a lot of work into making those potions and dolls I need them to effectively use my magic and any imperfections could cause the spell to not work when I or Rin need it to,” she said, leaving the rest of it to hang in the air.

“Noted, Jamin, be careful with the ladies packs please, through but careful ok?”

“Yes, sir!”

“Ok, so here is the deal, we will search your things, if nothing is found we will assign a guard to follow you for a while, well to be honest it is an indeterminate time, and in that time you will have to stay in town, if this causes monetary issues then you can apply at the guard house for work and we will provide you with work for pay, making sure there is enough to live on.”

“She can still move about the town freely?” I asked, “she has to make sure that she pays her debt, the fee is due today and she does not wish to deal with any repercussions for being late.” I asked him, just to be sure.

“Of course, like I said though you both will have an escort, please comply with this it makes everything smoother,” he said, rubbing his chin.

“Sir! I found contraband!” his eyes narrowed and both he and I looked in as a Juji pelt was pulled out of my pack.

“Did you know it was illegal to poach in this area?” he asked, his eyes narrowing as he looked at me.

“She did not hunt it here, she hunted it in the mountains near her home!” I say my eyes widening, perhaps I really should have gotten rid of that damned pelt.

“Really?” he clearly didn't believe me.

“She can prove it!” I declared, “In her pack is a round stone on a leather thong, it shows what is seen,” I didn't know if they also remembered or if it only showed what had happened at the time, it was a gamble but the only thing I could think of to get me out of a mess I didn't need to be in.

“Found a scrystone sir,” A man pulled it out of my pack.

“Good, get some wine,” the guard captain said, and I looked at him confused before glancing at Sarena.

“Water shows the present, wine helps people see the past,” she laughed. “If the scrying spell is used on alcohol instead of water it shows a memory, not the present, so if it is used in conjunction with the scrying stone then it shows what the stone saw in the past when it was the last scryed.” she smiled at me, “So, in other words, you were extremely lucky little kitten,” she leaned down and took the tip of my ear into her mouth and gently bit, sending shivers down my entire body and casing another wave of aching need to course through my system.

A bowl of wine was brought up and for the next half hour, the guard Capitan watched wide-eyed as I hunted through the forest for my prey. He glanced up at me and gave me a shaky smile. “Thank the goddess you are complying,” he muttered under his breath, and I was unsure if he was talking about the speed of my movement or the Juji kill. “It checks out,” he said, before downing the contents of the bowl in a single gulp. “Anything else found?”

“Besides this sack of silver no sir, they just have fairly standard adventurer gear...”

“Silver ay?” he glanced at me and then at the sack.

“She needs that silver, she needs to pay her debts, it is not stollen,” I say.

“Well, the good thing about silver is that it all has serial numbers by lot on it, so that can be verified, this might prove easier if you told us where you acquired the silver so that we can go check the numbers against the coin-”

“She has a loan from the bank,” I say, “All of her coins is from the bank, she borrowed it to pay another debt she had...” I hung my head, sure that I looked rather pathetic at that moment, borrowing from one to pay another. Not that it was my own fault but how could they know that?

“Well that is easy, Malura run down and verify this please, Jona, go with her make sure no one gets a stupid idea.” he glanced at the two of us, we had been standing there for over an hour now. “While she does that I am going to get something to eat, care to join me you two?” I glanced out the window and saw that the sun had indeed already started to rise and lighten the sky.

“Thank you guard Capitan,” Seri smiled, “I am sure we would most appreciate that.”

“It is the least I could do, after all, if that silver checks out then I have been sent on a wild goose chase and ended up doing you both a disservice, and if it doesn't check out,” he shrugs, “then it will be the best meal you two are likely to have for a very very long time...”
