Chapter 14:
Afternoon Recovery
It took a couple hours for the battered and bloodied group to make their way out of the woods, retrieve their cart, and stumble along into Wayfelt.
Once more Nameless had relinquished another ruined shirt to preserve a girl’s modesty and Erica was just as ecstatic to receive it as Milly had been days before.
It was just after dawn, and the people in town were starting to stir, but after the frantic race through the night to rescue Miranda and Jan, Nameless couldn’t remember ever being so tired.
He was propped up by Erica, who took every advantage to press her firm little breasts against him and whisper endearing filth into his ears. Miranda was likewise half carried by Milly, who also pulled the cart in which rode a mortified Jan as they made their way towards the Aegis station.
They drew a great deal of attention from the early risers and eventually several Aegis members, alerted to their approach by the locals, found them and helped the fatigued group into the compound.
Milly had long since given everyone some of her milk (something Nameless found deeply uncomfortable as they each had to take it in turn to drink directly ‘from the tap’) and that had helped with the worst of their injuries, namely Miranda’s shoulder and Jan’s leg.
But crude splints, improvised slings and a few mouthfuls of Minotaur milk weren’t enough to get the job done, so a visit to the infirmary was in order. It had been a long night and even the powerful heifer was ready for a nap.
Erica, on the other hand, was completely wired.
The heat from her fresh bond kept her wide awake, ready to tear her new Master’s clothes off with her teeth to get at his cock. She kept herself in check however, not wanting the spoil the intimacy that had settled on the trio by being overly aggressive. She took her cue from Milly, who simply looked at her with a warm smile and gave her head a gentle shake.
Not yet. Soon.
They were shown to the infirmary where they each had to undergo a complete physical from a green skinned, red-headed and very naked Dryad.
Miranda went to report in to whoever she needed to report in to, brushing off the Dryad’s ministrations with a muttered “It can wait”.
Milly and Erica refused to be parted from Nameless as the licentious tree spirit tended to his wounds. It was just as well, he was too tired to fend off her hands when they went for his pants but his girls certainly weren’t.
With her healing touch Erica’s claw marks became a distant memory and Milly’s head wound a passing dream. Nameless heard more than a little bit of giggling when the Dryad tended to Jan but he was too out of it to be curious.
He was so drowsy he wondered if someone could die of tiredness, his eyes felt like someone had rubbed sand in them.
The redhead, whose hair was now noticeably tussled, no doubt by Jan’s tongue, led him and his pets into a bathing room where Milly and Erica gave Nameless what was probably an incredibly erotic sponge bath if he wasn’t too tired to remember it.
Once they were finished cleaning up, the towel clad trio was led by the Dryad into a darkened room with a massive bed in it.
Before he could collapse in the bed however the Dryad took him by the arm and whispered in his ear.
“Are the rumours true? Are you really an Empath?”
“Guh, I dunno maybe.” He slurred, staring at her freckled button nose.
“I overheard them saying that you were, that you pulled a Tenebrae out of her darkness. Empaths are precious beings to us monsters; the only ones who can save us from ourselves if our hearts dim. Just know that you will always have a friend in Wayfelt, noble Empath. And if you need anything else, anything at all, just let me know and I will be there for you. Oh, and I am unbonded…”
The redhead’s meaning was clear, but she seemed to clue in that the ‘Noble Empath’ was asleep on his feet and probably not comprehending her smoldering looks at all, so with a huff she gave him a kiss on the lips and left it at that.
“Gawd your hot Master! Even dead on your feet you have girls throwing their panties at you. Or I guess not, she was really naked.” Erica giggled as she and Milly toweled their hair dry beside him.
“She seemed nice, I’ve never met a Dryad before, and the way she healed Master’s cuts! That was more than my milk could do! Still, the part about being unbonded was a bit much.” The girls helped Nameless out of his towel and into bed.
“Yeah, I don’t think I’m quite ready to share our Master, not when I haven’t even tasted his dick yet.”
Erica and Milly giggled together as they laid him down and snuggled in on either side of him, he noticed their warmth but not much else as he was asleep as soon as he was horizontal.
He didn’t even feel Erica’s hand on his cock, nor Milly’s as she firmly removed it with another shake of her head.
Not yet kitty.

“You’re positive?” An austere woman in a smart uniform was in the process of debriefing a much disheveled Miranda.
Her blue tinged image was suspended in a column of water that was being supported in the arms of an Undine, the elemental’s webbed hands gently waving back and forth through it, sending ripples across the surface to keep her magic swirling within.
“Yes, he pulled her back from almost total regression, she had me and Jan dead to rights and he just grabbed her and held her until she woke up. I’ve never seen an Empath at work but I examined her stone myself. It was jade green, no hint of darkness at all. And after interviewing the girl it’s my opinion that she is entirely recovered, heart as bright as any I’ve seen.”
“Bloody hell, an Empath…well, we both know the world needs another. I will send this up the chain of command. No doubt Lady Essig will want to meet him, but that is way above my pay grade. In the meantime, I’m sorry Miranda you look like shit, but you are the most experienced operator in that neck of the woods.”
“Protection detail?”
“Just until I hear back from the higher ups. On my authority take the Undine with you to Kettering, to keep the communication line as short as possible.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to keep him in Wayfelt?”
The woman gave a shake of her head.
“No, too much attention there, best to keep him off the beaten path. Besides, I imagine he’d be more comfortable at home.”
“Yes ma’am.”
“You have two girls still in Garland correct?”
“Yes.”
“Well, your call. I can have them sent out to you if you like.”
“I’d appreciate it ma’am, no telling how long we’ll be here, I could use the backup and Jan could use the company.”
The woman snorted.
“Like you don’t need the company yourself? Get that shoulder tended to.”
“One other thing ma’am.”
“I’m listening.”
“The girl, Erica, she went dark for a damn good reason. Roaming tent town, battlers and rape rallies.” The illusory woman grimaced; “The whole operation is mobile, they stay in one place no more than a month to avoid the sweeps.”
“Bastards. Any idea where they might be?”
Miranda’s gave a predatory grin.
“Yes, if my estimates are correct. Based on the last date she remembers, she went dark nearly a year ago, and she said they were parked in the woods north of Greyhaven and that they follow a set loop. So if they aren’t there yet…”
“Copy, I will put every tac-team we have in the area on high alert, we’ll shut them down Miranda, I promise you that. If your intel proves out we may have need of your Empath before the week is out, but again, above my pay grade.”
“Yes ma’am, good hunting.” Miranda brought the fist of her good arm over her heart in salute which the blue tinged woman returned before the column of water collapsed.
The Undine that had been supporting it stared at Miranda with wide eyes.
Undine magic made for an effective communications network but they were notorious gossips.
Miranda stared back.
“Nalia right?” The Undine nodded; “Well, you heard Commander Morrow, you’re coming with me. And you are not to repeat anything that you heard in this briefing to anyone, it could endanger the Empath and we have to protect him at all costs, am I understood?”
“Of course Aegis, by the Sacred Current no human will hear of this from me.” The blue skinned girl earnestly answered.
“Ugh, how many of your sisters have you told already?” Miranda’s head hurt.
“Um… just the ones in the bathhouse, and some in the pool… and one by the river, but only so that they could help protect him!”
“Yeah, and I’ll just bet they would all be happy to help protect him from in his bed?”
The gossip managed to look guilty, yet a little sly.
“Hmmm… it would make it easier.”
“Well make sure that you also tell them he has two bond-mates already and is probably still a virgin!”
“Oh!” the water elemental shuddered; “I haven’t been with a virgin in ages!”
Miranda put her face in her hand and let out an exasperated breath.

Milly was dosing, sleep still illusive, when she felt a gentle lick on her nose, it brought her to wakefulness and she gazed deeply into Erica’s emerald eyes.
“Erica? What’s the matter?”
“Milly, our man… he’s important, isn’t he?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m too horny to sleep so I’ve just been laying her thinking. I was a Tenebrae Milly! I was gone! And he just, reached into my mind and fixed me, he brought me back!”
Her lip trembled at the memory and Milly cupped her cheek in her hand to comfort her.
“It’s okay Erica. I promise it’s going to be okay.”
“Ha… Milly that’s the thing, I know! I can still feel him inside me, his warmth… it’s glorious.” She shuddered in ecstasy; “And that Dryad, I could smell her, she was wet for him Milly. That much was obvious.”
“What are you saying?”
“I-I don’t know, it’s just… he’s important, and I’m just a whore from the tents.”
“Don’t say that!” Milly admonished, sitting up slightly, Nameless stirred in his sleep, and both girls froze, not wanting to wake him; “You’re my sister and I love you, and our master will love you too.”
“That’s not what I mean, it’s just. He’s important.”
“Why do you keep saying that?”
“Because important people get hurt, important people make enemies. We have to protect him Milly and I don’t know how!”
Milly looked at her and at last she recognized her fear. The kind of desperate fear that you can only have for someone you love more than life.
Milly thought of how she had reacted to that same fear…
“I threw a man off a bridge a few days ago.”
“WHAT!?”
“His name was Clint, the third owner I’d had since Brant. Master saved me from him, and Miranda, the Aegis lady, who you need to be nicer to by the way! She made it official. Anyways, he tried to steal my stone away from Master, and he-he hit him! I was so mad! So I picked him up and I threw him off a bridge.”
“Fuuuuck… Milly! That’s badass!” Erica was impressed, and proud. Milly had always been so meek…
“The point is, we can protect him. Together we will keep him safe. Together we will do whatever it takes.” Milly was never so sure of anything in her life.
“What if-” Erica swallowed her nerves; “-what if what it takes is for him to find more bond-mates?”
Milly looked shocked for a moment.
“Weren’t you the one just talking about how you haven’t even tasted his thingy yet?” She hissed, pulling Erica closer by one ear, their noses touching. Erica winced a bit at the tightness of her grip but didn’t try to pull away.
“Milly, sharing him with you will be easier than breathing. I need you both: my sister and my master. But you don’t know what that darkness was like, I felt what true sorrow was and it was horrible. Without him that is what we would face and I can’t- I WON’T -let that happen!”
Tears streaked down her cheeks, one ran down the tip of her nose and onto Milly’s.
“So what, we just troll his… his wee-wee out in the open for any girl to chase after?” At Milly’s words Erica shook her head with a snort.
“First of all, we need to get you some better words for Master’s penis! Secondly: no. I just think we need to be open to the idea of Master bonding with other girls. Especially if these new sisters could help us protect him. You know that’s how the Aegis people do it right? They bond with a bunch of girls and form these, like, super squads or whatever.”
Milly pouted.
“Milly are you doing that thing with your lip because you’re mad at me or because you know I’m right?”
“…Both. I haven’t even had him for a week and then you came along-” Erica looked hurt; “-That’s not what I meant! I love you and I am thrilled that we are together again and that we became bond-sisters, but I’ve only had sex with him once, and you haven’t even had a chance yet. And it is good Erica! And I don’t want to surround him with other girls when we haven’t even really gotten started yet!”
“Milly…” Erica sobbed as her fears began to overwhelm her again; “He’s too important for us-”
“No he damn well is not” Nameless’s voice broke in, causing Milly to let out a startled moo and Erica to let out a spitting hiss.
Noticing only now that his gentle snoring had stopped some time ago, they both flinched back as they looked down at his face and felt his emotions.
He was angry.
“Master…”
“I don’t want to hear another word out of either of you, until I’ve said my peace.”
They nodded limply. He took a breath and rubbed at his gritty eyes. As he spoke he shifted his gaze between their faces, making sure to address them both.
“I didn’t plan any of this. Milly, you fell into my life and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. And Erica, when Milly told me that she used to have a sister she was so sad it was hard to talk about it with her. She thought you were dead! So you can imagine my joy when she found you again. Miranda told me how important it is, and how difficult it can be, to keep more than one girl happy. Aegis tamers prepare for months to make sure everything is balanced. The thing I fear most in the world is that I will fail at that. Milly didn’t see that darkness, but I did Erica, and the thought of you two falling into that makes my blood run cold. I have had sex exactly one time and it was fantastic but I am still really nervous about doing it again, especially with both of you at once. But I know that’s what you want, and I know that you need it Erica. I would be doing it right now if I wasn’t so dog tired. But I am self-aware enough to know that I don’t know what the hell I’m doing sexually.” Milly made to protest but Nameless overrode her; “Baby, I am not done talking yet. Erica, you saw the baggage I have in my head, you both know my insecurities. I didn’t plan any of this and I am man enough to admit that I wasn’t ready for it either. Now don’t think for one second that I regret meeting either of you, but none of us was prepared for this, which means we need to think. We can’t let fear dictate what we do next.”
He took a few deep breaths then pulled the girls tight to his chest. Milly sobbed, Erica said nothing, listening intently.
“To add to all of that, Miranda told me I’m something called an Empath, which basically means I can read the emotions of any girl whose heartstone I’ve touched and could potentially use that power to bond with any monster girl in the world. I don’t know what that really means yet. I’ve just been reacting to one situation after another, I thought I had my feet under me with Paul and the cottage but we ran out of there in the dead of night and Erica would you please take your hand off my dick.”
Erica had grabbed his penis in her hand and was stroking it slowly. At his words she jerked her hand back.
“Sorry Master! It’s just… you are so fucking hot when you’re mad! Will you spank me later?”
“Erica, what did I just say about my sexual experience? I’m nowhere near ready for bondage.” He said dryly, his steam seemingly spent.
Milly gave a quiet sob of laughter as she accepted that he wasn’t mad at her but stressed about the whole situation.
“What I really want you two to take to heart is this; I am not too important for you, Erica I know we sort of just met, but the intimacy we shared when you helped me remember myself was more than enough that I can safely say I love you. Both of you, and I always will. If we do bring another girl into our life then we will make that decision together. In the meantime we leave tomorrow’s problems for tomorrow because we are all way too tired to solve them tonight, or this morning, whatever it is. We are in the middle of an Aegis compound. We are safe. And most importantly, Milly, baby, you do need a better word for my wee-wee; I propose: ‘The Nameless God’.”
Milly and Erica both laughed tearfully, reassured by his words, they managed to forget their anxieties, and then they began to shower his face with kisses and licks until he finally had to beg them to let him go back to sleep.
__________
Nameless came to wakefulness again several hours later, he still felt like he had sand in his eyes but his head was telling him that sleeping this late in the afternoon was bad.
Milly still slept draped over his right side, her breath lightly tickling his hair and the comfortable weight of one breast rested on his shoulder. A slight wetness below his collar bone told him a certain kitty had been snacking recently.
He felt a spike of excitement from Erica’s stone, which he still clutched in his hand wrapped around the Katje’s slender body draped over his left side.
“Hello Master.” She purred at him.
“Um… hello Erica.” He was suddenly embarrassed, incredibly aware of her naked body pressed against his.
“Did you sleep well?” Her voice was smoldering now, breathy with desire.
“Yeah, I guess.”
“Good, Milly and I were going to wake you up soon, in a very naughty way, but she dozed off again.” She pouted a bit; “So I guess I will have to take care of this-” One delicate finger traced his erection before withdrawing; “-myself…”
It seemed that one could still get morning wood even in the afternoon.
Her dark haired ears were perked up, both facing him. She nuzzled against his neck as she pushed the covers down below his waist, exposing her naked flesh and his turgid cock. She gripped his hard-on tightly in her hand, her claws retracted. Pleasure coursed through him.
“Ah… Erica wait-”
“I have waited Master… I’m sorry but I can’t wait anymore, I can feel your arousal. It burns so good. Now I want to feel your cum in my hand. I promised Milly that we would blow you together. But for now, I think a quick hand job is in order, don’t you?” Her fist tightened and began to stroke him slowly.
“Ahhhh…”
He was trapped. One arm held tightly between Milly’s heavy breasts, pinned to her body. His other was wrapped around Erica’s tanned form, but his hand still held her stone possessively, effectively putting it out of commission.
Erica picked up on his distress.
“Master, I can hold my heartstone for you, if you want to hold something else.” She wiggled her tanned tushy against his balled fist, her furry tail tickling his thumb.
He very much wanted to give her luscious ass a proper squeeze and she knew it. Her fist stroked faster.
“H-how?”
She giggled and shifted her weight upwards on him while spreading her knees, hand still in motion on his cock.
“Easy, just slip it inside of me… I’ll keep it safe and warm… and wet.”
He swallowed at her suggestion; it was just so… naughty. Then he shifted the smooth stone into his fingertips and guided it between her cheeks, spreading them with his knuckles as he slid her heart across her puckered hole, then her taint, and then rolling it into position over her moist cleft with one finger as she purred in encouragement.
She stroked him faster now, a gentle slapping noise heard in the tense silence of the room. His foreskin pulled down over his engorged head with every down-stroke. His scrotum tightened in anticipation.
She drew her face out of the crook of his neck, her emerald green eyes inches from his browns, and he noticed for the first time that her pupils were slitted.
With aching slowness she brought her lips to his, a whisper of a kiss.
His digit began to force the stone inside her, her tongue froze against his lips but she didn’t stop stroking him. He slid it in easily past her puffy labia, her liquid arousal more than enough for the tiny jewel to find its way inside her.
He stopped once he reached the first knuckle, not wanting to put it in too far. He withdrew his finger, feathering it across her nether lips and her puckered anus until his hand was finally able to give her ass the firm grope it needed.
He knew it was selfish, but that was the point.
She purred as his hand gripped her ass-flesh tightly; the feeling of her own heartstone lodged in her pussy almost enough to drive her into her own bliss.
His breathing was erratic, her stroking had brought him to the edge but he held himself back. She had sped up to the point that her hand was a blur, licking her lips as she turned away from his face to watch his cock intently.
“Show me baby…” She tongued his clavicle, never looking away from his cock; “Cum all over your naughty kitty’s paw so she can lick it all up.”
Her dirty talk finally sent him over the brink; he began to spurt while she purred intently. She held her head sideways, resting on his chest, as she watched him orgasm.
His first jet landed on her cheek just above her lips. She couldn’t help but draw the gooey liquid into her mouth with her tongue as he continued to spurt.
She never paused in her stroking, using his own semen to lubricate his cock as his cum pooled on his belly and chest. He clutched her ass so tightly is actually hurt as he thrust into her stroking fist, hoarsely crying out in ecstasy.
She was in heaven, her pussy convulsing around her stone as she orgasmed from the intensity of her master’s possessive grip. Her yowls accompanied his groans as they climaxed together.
Milly had woken up, but the pair was too far gone to notice until she had hefted her weight off of his shoulder. He had finished ejaculating now, and no small amount of his creamy seed had found its way onto the bottom of her breasts.
The panting pair paused for a moment, just watching Milly.
Without a word, she shifted the rest of the covers off, slid down on the bed and licked her tongue through the pool of cum on his stomach. Once she had a mouthful, she suckled the head of his erection into her mouth, swirling her cum covered tongue around his glans for a moment before releasing him.
With her mouth now full, she brought her head back up to a curious Erica’s face, gripped her with one hand and kissed her, using her tongue to push the salty load into the eager Katje’s mouth.
Nameless thought he might cum again from the sight.
Several moments passed before Milly drew her tongue out of the cat girl’s mouth, allowing her to swallow.
To match Milly’s gift, Erica deliberately brought her hand up to her face as her lovers watched intently. Without breaking eye contact with her, Erica drew her tongue across the meaty flesh between her thumb and forefinger, gathering up a great gob of cum. This time, she kissed Milly and pushed the semen into her mouth.
They went back and forth like this for several minutes, until there was no more to clean up and Nameless was so aroused by the sight he was almost fully hard again.
After one last steamy kiss with Erica, Milly drew back and scratched her ears affectionately.
“Good kitty.” She whispered.
Erica purred.
Nameless panted.
Milly smiled.
Their bliss was short-lived however, as a familiar Dryad opened the door without knocking.
“Oh my! I guess I got here too late!” She giggled at the compromised position of the group.
Milly and Erica were unperturbed by their nude state, although both of their hands found their way back to his penis, their meaning clear:
Back off lady, this is OURS!
Seeing their hands on his junk the Dryad licked her lips and smiled coyly. Nameless found himself too aroused to be embarrassed.
“Well, if you lot are rested up, which, judging by what I‘m seeing, you are, Aegis Holt would like to see you. And sisters, please forgive my boldness this morning, I was caught up in the excitement, there hasn’t been a new Empath in many years. You should expect a great many of the other girls will be sniffing around after your man. I also brought some clothes, although I’ve never understood why anyone wears the silly things.”
The Dryad plopped a pile of clean clothes on the foot of the bed for them to choose from and with a last flirt of her green tushy she left them to get dressed.
Milly and Erica looked worried, and a little confused.
“I don’t get it. I’ve never heard of an Empath before have you Milly?” Erica threw on a black shirt large enough to pass as a skirt, one shoulder left uncovered, as well as a pair of simple white panties, forgoing pants or a bra.
“No… but I guess the girls here are part of the Aegis so they would know about stuff like that…”
Evidently the Aegis was accustomed to clothing monsters of all sizes because the simple white button up shirt she donned actually contained her bust, though she left several buttons undone at the top.
She frowned at the denim overalls though; she liked what the shoulder straps did to her cleavage but didn’t like how long the legs were, they went down just past her knee.
After fussing with it for a bit Erica came over and rolled them up enough to reveal where her creamy thighs transitioned into her velvety hide.
Nameless finally clued in that both girls were watching him out of the corners of their eyes as they dressed.
Ah… They’re dressing to impress ME. I suppose if it makes them happy I shall have to endure…
“That doesn’t make sense though, because Master hasn’t heard of one either.”
Erica removed the panties with a frown and a sideways glance at Nameless, still lying in bed he nudged his toe at a pair of dark purple and black ones that he liked better, trying to act like he was just stretching his leg. She took the hint and donned them. He was starting to enjoy himself.
“Ooooh those are cute Erica! They match your hair and ears, not to mention your tail!” Milly approved.
She then opted to lose the shirt altogether, the overalls came up high enough to cover her breasts so why not show master some skin? Once again Nameless gave an approving nod, like he was just getting a crick out of his neck.
“Thanks, I picked them myself.” Erica said nonchalantly; “Yeah I don’t think you even need a shirt, those overalls come up really high.”
Nameless was quite proud of his poker face.
After the girls were dressed they still fussed over their outfits a bit and Nameless was enjoying the flashes of skin they kept giving him.
Miranda’s probably not in a big hurry…
“I was lousy in school so I don’t know anything about Empaths, Miranda said there was another one but didn’t say much else.” He commented, getting back on topic.
The fashion show drawing to a close Nameless finally got out of bed and went to get dressed himself.
“You lot having fun playing dress-up? Should I come back later?”
Miranda was standing in the open door, wearing a fresh uniform, a sling over her arm, evidently even Dryad magic and Milly’s milk can’t fix a broken collarbone in a few hours.
Nameless squeaked and hid back under the covers.
Miranda shook her head and dropped a sheaf of papers on the foot of the bed, in the midst of the scattered clothes.
“Ugh, it smells like sex with a man in here. And relax kid, your scrawny ass isn’t enough to get me hot under the collar, you have the wrong set of equipment for my liking.” She indicated the papers; “Permits, licensing papers, tamer registration forms, and a copy of the Aegis Charter. I figured you’d need one since you seem intent on breaking it all the time. Also, you’ve received special dispensation from the supreme high mug-wump. So don’t worry, no one is gunna take sour puss over there away from you. I guess because you can read her mind their not worried she’s gunna go bonkers again.”
Erica’s ears flattened to her head, Milly calmly wrapped both arms around the irritated cat from behind and rested her chin on top of her head.
“Thank you Miranda, you’ve done so much for us, we’re all really grateful.”
Miranda rubbed one hand against the back of her neck self-consciously.
“Well, here’s the thing Milly. Me and Jan were dead in those woods this morning. We were dead and then you two kids showed up and went and changed that. So… thank you for that.”
Erica looked uncomfortable, she muttered something, then Milly gave her a shake and she said it louder.
“I’m sorry I fucked you guys up so bad. I-I wish I hadn’t. You seem… nice.”
Erica was looking at the floor, so Miranda decided to be gracious.
“No harm, we’re alive and you found your way out of the darkness so… win win.”
I hate you, you dog-smelling old cunt.
Fuck you pussy-cat.
Nameless was happy everyone was getting along.
He just wished Miranda would leave so he could quit hiding under the covers and put some pants on. As Miranda turned to go she had one last parting message.
“Oh also, I have been assigned to ah, monitor you while I heal up. You know, since you have no formal training? Nothing too invasive, kind of a mentoring program. I’ll be coming back with you to Kettering so... yeah that’s a thing.”
She left them in silence after that.
Milly was bemused, but for his part Nameless wasn’t a total idiot, he knew this had something to do with him being an Empath.
“Well… fuck!” Erica pouted.
