Chapter 17:
Courting Disaster
Cordelia and Oldeera had spent a great deal of time together since they first met, indeed, the Hornet queen had seen little of anyone else since arriving in Kettering! She had not even seen Nameless since that first night back.
She had originally intended to seduce the open-hearted young man using her mission as a pretext. And while it would have taken some time, especially after a disastrous first meeting with Nina that ended with her and her entire hive in full retreat, she had still been determined to make him hers.
But then a red-faced girl with disheveled hair and flour on her cheeks yelled at her.
Now her Hornets did their duty and patrolled around the Empath and his bond-mates, but aside from the occasional visit from Ophelia and Volka, the smitten queen had eyes only for Cordelia Loskins, a simple baker of all things!
Though they had not gotten physical beyond kissing and heavy petting, there was a charged energy between them and it was getting harder and harder for the young girl to pull away from the queen when they parted from one another.
Oldeera therefore had high hopes for this, their latest date.
While mostly farmland, the area around Kettering did have its fair share of idyllic woods with many walking trails within that Cordelia was fond of. She was currently leading the queen through one of her favorites while they talked, laughed, and flirted together.
The sky was turning orange and the sun was lowering in the sky when Cordelia pulled the queen into a little grove off the trail that she knew about.
“It’s so peaceful here.” Oldeera remarked as she looked around.
She knelt and picked up a flimsy leaf, the brilliant orange of it a match for the sky above.
“It is.”
Cordelia’s heart was pounding.
The heat between them had begun to simmer the moment they stepped into the privacy of the woods.
Along the trail they had snuggled a few times; Oldeera had copped a feel of Cordelia’s breasts and ass more than once, while Cordelia had even built up the courage to reach under the queen’s armoured skirt and explore her curves briefly.
And now they were off the trail, truly alone in the woods and the mutual desire between them grew by the second as they were drawn together once more.
The Hornet queen stroked her fingers down Cordelia’s cheek, leaving a tingling trail in their wake as her skin blushed from the contact.
She leaned in, their lips barely touching as her hot breath washed over Cordelia’s cheeks.
“Honey, there is a conversation from several days ago that I would dearly like to continue.”
In a haze of desire all Cordelia could do was let out a questioning murmur.
“The one where you were naked in my arms, our breasts pressed together-”
She gave a tiny peck with her lips just beside Cordelia’s nose.
“-and I gave you a taste of what a Hornet’s wings could do.”
Her thigh slid between Cordelia’s legs, the chitin greaves brushing against Cordelia’s calves, the hard contact caused her legs to spread involuntarily as the queen buzzed her wings for a moment.
Cordelia gasped as both hands shot down to grip the Hornet’s naked thigh before it could reach her sex.
“I-”
“It is up to you. But honey, I really want to pleasure you.” The queen spoke in a husky tone before pressing their lips together.
They were silent but for the wet suckling of their mouths as the frantically made out, their tongues sliding together energetically.
Cordelia spoke out of the side of her mouth between desperate kisses.
“I- mmmph- want that- hmmm- too.”
They broke apart, both panting.
“I want that too.” Cordelia repeated.
Though she was nervous at the unknown delights the queen offered, there was no more denying her attraction to the Hornet, her reservations falling away as she submitted to the inevitable.
A shudder ran all through Oldeera’s body at the girl’s acceptance and she sank to one knee, the armour of her greaves enough to protect her shin from the sticks and fallen leaves while her other leg formed a bench in front of her.
Cordelia swallowed and began to hike up her skirt as she slid forwards, but Oldeera put her hand on her hip to stop her.
“It would be… better, for you if you took your underwear off.”
The Hornet’s eyes were hooded, and left unsaid was that it would be better for her too.
Cordelia bit her lip as she debated it in her mind, but the naked desire in Oldeera’s eyes settled it for her.
She stepped back with a shy smile and leaned down to run her hands up her legs under her dress, her skirt bunching around her wrists as more and more of her flesh was exposed to the Hornet’s hungry eyes.
When she reached her hips she hooked her thumbs into the band of her panties, bit her lip as she pulled them off of her hips, but paused. Her skirt bunched around her waist, she released her undergarment and very deliberately lifted the front hem of her dress to show Oldeera her naked pussy.
It was a long desired vision for the love-starved woman.
Cordelia kept herself trimmed, the downy curls of her dark lower hairs sitting neatly above her lips, while her panties were stretched between her thighs, low enough to afford the kneeling monster a clear view, but high enough to add a nice splash of red to the tableau.
The poor Hornet audibly swallowed at the sight, her own groin blooming with heat as she involuntarily licked her lips.
But Cordelia soon blushed and let her skirt drop, a quick tease, not a full show. Once again she hooked her panties and slowly leaned down to pull the fabric down and off of her legs.
She lifted one foot, then the other, now holding the dainty bit of silk with one thumb.
Though she didn’t know how the date would end, somewhere in her mind she had an idea, so she had donned one of her raciest pairs of underwear.
Ruby red, lacy, and very skimpy.
With a wink and a nervous flutter from her chest she tossed the tiny bit of silk at the queen.
Oldeera caught it and worked the fabric between her fingers for a moment.
It was damp with the girl’s need.
She moaned slightly as she brought the panties to her nose and, staring straight at a breathless Cordelia, she breathed in the scent of her arousal.
With another sharp inhalation through her nose, the queen’s legs trembled and her hips gyrated as Cordelia’s scent washed over her.
It took considerable willpower for the Hornet not to tackle the poor girl.
Oldeera spoke quietly so as not to break the building mood.
“I hope you know… that you’re never getting these back.”
Cordelia stepped forwards again, her face flush as she stood with her legs on either side of Oldeera’s thigh.
The cool air of the night washed over her naked flesh, but did nothing to extinguish the flames of lust that radiated out from her nether lips.
“And I hope you know that I’m a screamer.”
Cordelia was far from being a virgin, at least with men, and she had more than once achieved orgasm with them, though it was a rare thing given the selfish nature of her former boyfriends. But it had happened enough times that she at least knew how loud she could be.
For her former lovers it had been an annoyance, but Oldeera only smiled wide at the revelation.
“Oh, goody!”
She ran her hands up Cordelia’s dress, pulling the fabric up as she leaned in to kiss the brunette’s stomach through the cloth.
“Whenever you’re ready honey.” She murmured with her face pressed into the yielding warmth of her tummy.
It was a bit awkward, but using Oldeera’s shoulders for leverage she squatted down, though her legs were quickly trembling with the effort.
“It’s okay, I can take the weight. And I certainly won’t let you fall” Oldeera chuckled.
She was now eye-level with the girl’s perky breasts, still hidden from view.
With a gasp Cordelia dropped the rest of the way down, all of her weight on Oldeera’s leg as the comparative coolness of the queen’s thigh met her naked pussy lips.
She spent a couple seconds adjusting herself to be more comfortable while Oldeera held her waist to help her stay balanced.
Then she looked down slightly into the Hornet’s eyes as a slow smile split the queen’s face.
“Hi.”
Cordelia swallowed but returned the smile.
“Hi.”
“Are you ready?”
But Cordelia’s throat closed as she fought back tears from the intense moment, so all that she could do was give a jerky nod.
The Hornet tilted her face up, a clear invitation and Cordelia leaned down to accept the kiss, her arms now on the monster girl’s shoulders, while Oldeera’s were around the soft flesh of her waist.
The queen broke the kiss just long enough to speak.
“I’ll start slow.”
Cordelia thought that she had braced herself, thought that she was ready.
She thought wrong.
She didn’t hear so much as feel the deep rumble of Oldeera’s wings through her pelvis, the muscles of her thighs clenched together and her pussy spasmed at the sensation while she gasped into Oldeera’s mouth.
After a few seconds it stopped and she let out a cry, again while their lips were together.
Oldeera broke away again, now kissing her way down her jaw and the nape of her neck, she caught Cordelia’s skin between her teeth, nibbling slightly.
“More?”
The warmth of her exhalation over Cordelia’s neck caused goose bumps to form all over her shoulders.
“M-more.” She whimpered in reply.
Oldeera traced the tip of her tongue up the middle of her lover’s throat, until Cordelia lifted her head and the queen sucked her chin into her mouth.
With a pop she pulled back again.
“Then, can I have more too?”
Cordelia’s eyes were closed, but she opened them in confusion and tilted her face back down to meet the queen’s gaze.
“More what?”
“I liked what I saw earlier, can I see more?” The queen clarified.
Her hands released Cordelia’s waist and she flicked one of the buttons on the front of the dress to make her point more clear.
“You, want to see me, my b-breasts?”
“Is that alright?”
From the tone in her voice Cordelia knew that she could refuse, everything from the very first moment together she could have refused.
She just didn’t want to.
She gave a little nod and the Hornet queen bit her lip in anticipation.
Strong fingers worked the buttons out of their loops one at a time while Cordelia dropped her own hands down to stroke the flesh of the queen’s upper arms.
“I am dearly regretting wearing my armour.” The queen pouted as she undid the last button and slowly pulled the fabric apart.
“Why did you?”
She shrugged as her fingers traced between the exposed valley of Cordelia’s breasts.
“When a queen leaves her hive it is usually to fight, not to fuck, but if we are to do this again I should maybe find myself a pretty dress.”
She slid her hands into the open fabric of Cordelia’s dress and cupped her little breasts.
“Eeeek! Cold!” Cordelia yelped and drove her hips forwards slightly.
Her nipples peaked in Oldeera’s hands as the queen giggled.
“They’re just as delicious as I thought they’d be.”
She spent several seconds massaging the two mounds, her hands quickly warming against Cordelia’s hot tit-flesh.
Oldeera leaned her head up once more, her tongue lashing out over the girl’s chin.
“Well, you gave me what I wanted…”
Without warning she buzzed her wings again and simultaneously kneaded the smaller girl’s breasts harder.
The sensual grip of the queen’s palms combined with the sudden vibration on her naked sex caused Cordelia to let out an explosive moan and hunch forwards.
This time the queen’s wings didn’t stop, in fact, they buzzed harder and she nuzzled her face into the brunette’s neck before whispering.
“Ride me honey, grind that pretty little pussy of yours against me, I want to see just how much of a screamer you are.”
The pleasure was intense and the buzzing vibration against her sensitive clit caused Cordelia to arch her back as she let out another cry of bliss. Her hands gripped her face and hair, her teeth bit down on her pinky finger as she moaned.
While for her part Oldeera pushed the young girl’s breasts upwards and together before leaning in to bury her face into the cleavage now presented to her, her tongue and lips working all over the warm flesh.
“Oh fuck! Oldeera, Oh fuck me!”
The Hornet’s response was muffled by her tits, but by the way the vibration increased her meaning was clear.
Pulling one hand away from the perfect breasts wrapped around her face, Oldeera moved it up Cordelia’s thigh and around to grip her ass under the bunched up dress. With a squeeze she pulled the smaller girl forwards as the buzzing of her wings intensified.
Cordelia let out another cry and gripped the Hornet’s head tight to her chest, while Oldeera slipped her other hand down to cup the other ass cheek and guide the thrusting of the girl’s hips.
“Suck me! Oh fuck me and suck my nipples!”
Cordelia leaned back even farther, allowing the Hornet to suck one of her tits between her teeth as the young girl screamed into the night, her orgasm rapidly approaching.
Oldeera worked the muscles of her leg, bouncing her thigh to add yet another dimension of pleasure, while her wings now buzzed in rhythm so as not to overwhelm the poor girl.
Cordelia’s tongue was hanging out lewdly now, her face a splotchy mess as tears of agonizing pleasure coursed down her cheeks. Her breathing began to come in quick gasps as she humped her pussy against the queen’s thigh, the fingers of Oldeera’s hands gripping her ass tighter to help her along.
“I’m so close! Fuck, Oldeera!”
Abruptly Oldeera shifted her face to capture her other nipple and bite down just hard enough to make Cordelia scream, at the same time the Hornet buzzed her wings just as hard as she was able, orange leaves around them danced into the air as the sudden rush of wind took hold of them, as if the natural world was reacting to Cordelia’s orgasm.
The girl screamed into the night as her eyes closed and her fingers clutched at Oldeera’s head as the queen sucked forcefully on her nipple.
Suddenly Cordelia’s pussy convulsed and hot fluids washed out over their thighs as ecstasy like she had never known consumed her, her head thrashed backwards as she cried out again and again.
All throughout Oldeera helped her keep her hips thrusting against her thigh, driving her young lover’s pleasure to new heights.
Without a doubt, it was the most powerful orgasm Cordelia had ever experienced.
Inevitably the leaves around them settled once more as Hornet wings stilled and Cordelia came down from the incredible heights of bliss.
With one last shudder, the exhausted girl slumped forwards, hugging the Hornet’s head close with both hands, the cold metal of the queen’s crown pressing against her jaw, while one of her antennae tickled her cheek.
They stayed like that for a full two minutes, while Cordelia tried to get her ragged breathing under control.
The smug Hornet queen finally chuckled as she relaxed the death grip that she had held on Cordelia’s ass, instead wrapping her arms around her waist in a hug.
“You may be a screamer, honey, but you are also a squirter!”
Her lover sniffled.
“I know, sorry, I should have warned you.” She mumbled as she pulled her face back to meet Oldeera’s eyes.
“Don’t be, I do it too sometimes, I take it as a compliment. Especially given that there wasn’t a cock inside of you when you came.”
The queen waggled her antennae at the crass remark as Cordelia smiled weakly.
But her joke brought the teen’s biggest reservation about dating another woman slamming into her face as her smile faltered.
“Honey what’s wrong?”
“I am such an asshole.”
The queen jiggled her playfully on her thigh
“Yes, but what’s wrong?”
“Oldeera… I-I want kids some day, a family.”
It was a difficult admission, but the Hornet queen deserved to know, especially after what had just happened between them.
With trepidation she looked up to see the surprise on Oldeera’s face.
“You mean, like with a man and his penis?”
When Cordelia replied her voice was full of remorse.
“I’m so sorry, I should have said something ages ago. I don’t know about a husband or anything, but I definitely want the kids! It’s just, our lives are so different you know?”
It took Oldeera a long time to respond, when she did it was with a careless shrug.
“Honey, if it means that much to you, I can share you.”
“Oldeera! No! That isn’t fair! That isn’t what I want!”
“Why not?”
“I won’t- I’m not Nameless! I don’t want you to have to share me! I just want kids.”
“Cordelia, I was fully prepared to bond with a man who already had five bond-mates, I hardly see the issue.”
“Wait, what?”
Oldeera tilted her head, ignoring the girl’s sudden confusion at the inadvertent admission, her hands still holding Cordelia to her thigh.
“Honey, all I’m saying is why can’t you have both? My love, my hive, and your children?” She crossed her eyes comically; “Oh wait, that’s three things.”
Despite the queen’s effort to make light of the issue, Cordelia shook her head, her face pale as a bit of anger found her voice.
“Because life doesn’t work that way!”
Oldeera laughed out loud.
“Sure it does! My sweets knock some handsome guy over the head and turn him into a meat puppet while you get what you need. Then they dump him back where they found him, and you stand on your hands for a few hours and let gravity take care of the rest.”
The ridiculous proposition was made even more so because Cordelia could tell that was more or less how the Hornet queen would handle the situation.
Her irritation melted and she had a bit of a laugh, the tension leaving her, but when Oldeera opened her mouth to continue talking, Cordelia abruptly shot to her feet, a frightened look on her face.
She had seen something in the fading light of the trees that made her blood run cold.
“What is it, what’s wrong?”
Oldeera watched with concern as Cordelia leapt away from her and pulled the front of her dress closed to hide her breasts.
“Someone’s watching us! Over there!” She whispered loudly with a quick gesture behind the Hornet.
Oldeera buzzed to her feet and looked, only to turn back and smile in relief.
“It’s alright, it’s just some of my sweets. I called them here so we wouldn’t be disturbed.”
Cordelia’s head shifted back in astonishment, and she wrapped her arms over her chest as she felt the weight of all of those eyes on her.
“They were watching us? Watching me?”
Even with the serious conversation about children, the intimacy between the two had persisted, Cordelia’s naked pussy hadn’t left the queen’s thigh after all, but now the warmth of the moment was completely gone and the queen was unsure as to why.
Oldeera tilted her head to one side.
“Of course. They wanted to see us together.”
With shaking fingers Cordelia pulled her dress closed over her breasts and began to button it up again, still reeling at the thought of so many unknown eyes on her exposed flesh.
“Honey, are you alright?”
“No I’m not alright! Why were they watching us?!”
Oldeera blinked.
“I’ve told you, a queen’s hive is-”
“Yeah I get that, but why are they watching us?! I mean, have they been there the whole time?”
The queen smoothed out her hair as she shook her head and tried to explain.
“You have to understand honey, my hive, they’re part of me. They feel what I feel, want what I want. You could no more separate me from them then you could me from my wings.”
Cordelia got to her feet, feeling shame wash over her without fully understanding the source of it.
“I know okay, I get it, but it just feels so weird! So wrong! This whole time, all those, those eyes on me! It makes my skin crawl!” She shuddered.
Queen Oldeera staggered back, her face paling as the pain of the girl’s words slammed into her like a battering ram.
“I… make your skin crawl?” Her voice caught slightly; “Is that what you felt… while we made love?”
Cordelia eyes widened as she realized exactly what it was that she had just said
“No! Fuck, that isn’t what I meant! I just, this-”
But Oldeera raised her arm to stop her.
The cold night descended on the pair as she worked through the young girl’s careless words.
“I know what you meant.” Her hand went to her forehead as she stifled a sob; “I should have seen this coming, I’m so stupid. I got so caught up in this thing between us. I even wanted to see if you could-”
Her eyes closed as tears seeped through her lashes and down her cheeks.
All around Hornets emerged from the trees, closing in on the pair as they shared in their queen’s pain.
When she opened her eyes again, it was with grim clarity.
“I didn’t see the truth. You aren’t a tamer, or an Empath or an Aegis operator. You’re just a silly little girl, with small town needs. Even before we met you were confused about what you wanted. Of course you wouldn’t be ready for me. Someone completely different from anything you’ve ever known, someone who… makes your skin crawl.”
Cordelia was wringing her hands as tears ran down her cheeks, her own discomfort forgotten almost immediately at the look of agony on Oldeera’s face.
She had never meant to hurt the Hornet, but she had succeeded mightily nonetheless.
“Oldeera, it isn’t like that! I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m so sorry! Please-”
The queen, though still pale, stood tall and stared at the desperate girl with an indecipherable expression.
“You’ve said that. Many, many times now. But at a certain point those two words lose their meaning.”
She turned her back to the remorseful girl and spoke into the fading light of the trees.
“I am done chasing you Cordelia Loskins. I swear I have been vexed for the last time. My girls… will see you home.”
For the baker’s daughter, it was like being punched in the stomach and dunked in ice water all at once.
She shook her head in a vain effort to refute the finality of the queen’s words, as her lips moved without her knowing what she was even saying.
“No. Don’t say that, don’t do that. Not now, not after we-”
“Goodbye, Cordelia.”
The executioner’s axe fell, and the shocked girl didn’t get a chance to say anything more as two of the Hornets took her under their arms and flew her into the encroaching night.
Still reeling from Oldeera’s words, the baker’s daughter wasn’t even afraid of the sudden flight.
In the grove in the woods, the Hornet queen’s hand gripped Cordelia’s red panties tight as she stared up at the sky and hurt.
