Chapter 6

“Beri! Titus! Breakfast is ready!” Adaya called down the hall.

“Be right there!” the dog girl yelled back as she sat down hard on Titus’s cock and rotated her hips like a belly dancer.

When clothes started coming off last night, the women immediately made it clear that Beri hoped to get pregnant and asked that he only climax inside the dog-girl.

Unsurprisingly, Beri preferred being taken from behind. What was surprising was how easily the dog-girl climaxed in that position. He even whispered a question to Adaya, wondering if Beri was faking her orgasms for his sake. The human assured him she was always quick to come when taken from behind like this. After Titus filled Beri’s pussy, the dog-girl rolled into her back and held her legs up in the air. He vaguely remembered that some women did the same thing back on Earth, hoping to increase their chances of getting pregnant.

As Beri lay there, Adaya sucked him into her mouth, cleaning him with her tongue before nursing his cock until he began to harden again. Throughout most of the night, Adaya acted more as a helper than a participant. But later, when Titus started to tire, they had him lay on his back as Beri straddled his hips and sank down on his cock. Not wanting Adaya to be left entirely out, he called her over as Beri began riding him and lifted the more petite woman up, maneuvering her around before placing her sex squarely over his mouth. As he began taking long licks of her pussy, her taste triggered a pang of guilt that he wasn’t doing this with Alise before remembering that she specifically told him to sleep with other women on this trip.

Since it became clear that he was about to have sex with Beri and Adaya, he had fended off similar thoughts more than a dozen times.

With his guilt assuaged for the time being, Titus attacked Adaya’s sex with gusto, spearing his tongue between her folds and then dragging her slick fluids up to her clit before teasing it for a few seconds. Even after he pumped his last load of the night into Beri’s already overflowing sex, Titus kept licking until Adaya grabbed his hair and shoved her pussy against his mouth while moaning through her climax.

It was the only time the Adaya got off last night. As Beri coaxed yet another load from him that morning, Titus wanted to make sure that tonight, the human girl had just as much fun as her dog-girl lover.

When Titus stopped pumping his seed into her, Beri assumed rolled onto her back with her hips tilted up and legs in the air. “You go ahead. I’ll be down in a few minutes,” she said before noticing the state of his cock covered with his and her juices and opening her mouth in invitation. Titus accepted the offered cleaning but didn’t let her lick long enough to start getting hard again.

Downstairs, Adaya had laid out plates with two bratwurst-sized sausages, some rolls, and two eggs. A larger wooden plate in the middle of the table held an assortment of sliced cheeses and jams in small jars.

“Beri?” Adaya asked when Titus arrived alone.

“In her pregnancy position.”

“I see,” Adaya sighed, “I must admit watching you two last night is making me look forward to a couple of years from now when it’s my turn.”

“Why didn’t you join in more?” he asked, sitting in the chair she offered.

“Because Beri would be heartbroken if I got pregnant before she did. Since I work and she stays home, she thinks of herself as the ‘wife’ in our relationship.”

“I think something similar happens in many relationships between two women back in my world. What work do you do?”

“I work for the post, delivering messages back and forth between people or businesses. I’m quick on my feet and light enough that I can cast a quick spell to walk on snow instead of wearing snowshoes.”

“You can use magic?”

“Most humans can use one or two spells, but we aren’t all mages like you. Our tailor uses a spell to thread needles or work a shuttle back and forth on a loom,” said Adaya. “A few farmers know spells to keep their produce fresh longer. I make myself lighter to help me do my job better.”

“I rather enjoyed how light you were last night,” said Titus. “Beri and Alise don’t weigh much more than you, but I still can’t toss them around the same way.”

Adaya blushed. “It was fun being manhandled like that. Beri gets a little overbearing after I’ve had a hard day at work. It helps me cool down and de-stress, but she can’t throw me around like you did. I wouldn’t mind coming home to that kind of treatment more often.

“After a bad day at work, you want a man to throw you on the floor and fuck your stress away?”

“Sounds good to me.”

“I’ll see what I can do if I’m back before you get home.”

“I’d like that, but Beri will probably go visit Haim for the medicine to induce heat, so you should focus on her,” said Adaya, a hint of disappointment seeping into her voice.

“Beri can’t have all the fun, and Saili specifically tasked me with spreading my seed.”

“The Goddess did?” Adaya asked, her expression skeptical.

“I’m not sure if I should be telling you this, but Saili puts something in the Heroes’ bodies that keeps humans and beastmen from turning into demons. The change takes generations,” he said quickly as Adaya’s eyes widened. “But Saili’s protection needs to be refreshed after a time, and that duty usually falls upon the Hero. I may not be the Hero, but I have his body, and, as thanks to Saili for saving my life, I want to help her spread her protection.

“Now that I’ve said all that, I really think I shouldn’t have.”

“Don’t worry about it,” said Adaya as Beri bounded down the stairs in a nightgown and plopped her butt in the chair with the untouched plate of food. “Everyone understands that the Hero has the Goddess’s blessing and that she imparts that blessing on those the Hero or their kin are intimate with. I did not know the part about humans turning into demons.”

“What was that?” asked Beri, pausing with a piece of sausage halfway to her mouth.

Titus repeated what he told Adaya moments ago.

“Judging by your reactions, I don’t think we should mention the part about humans and beastmen turning into demons,” Titus reiterated. “I ask that you keep that part to yourselves. The more people who know about it, the more likely it will get twisted into something that could cause panic.”

“And if people panicked, you might end up chained to a wall and drugged to stay hard while the entire town had their way with you,” said Adaya.

Titus shivered. “That’s a sobering thought.”

“Titus,” asked Beri.

“Yes?”

“Would you make love to Adaya before she goes to work?” she asked, hurriedly saying, “I know that you said it takes generations, but I want her to have the Goddess’s protection right now.”

“But what if I get pregnant? We were going to wait in between our attempts to have children.”

“If it happens, it happens, we’ll make do. I love you, and I want you protected.”

Titus’s eyes lost focus as he received the knowledge that the nanotech in his body could turn off his fertility at will, but doing so wasn’t recommended.

“Titus?” Beri asked as he blinked rapidly after the moment passed.

“Saili provides,” he said, standing up and stepping over next to Adaya. “Lift up your shirt.”

“What?” the woman asked.

“I have a solution.”

“To what?” she asked again, even though her hands reached for the bottom of her shirt and pulled it up.

“You have wonderful breasts he said, running his thumb over her nipple before dragging his fingers down to her belly. Titus pushed some mana into his finger and drew a rune over her abdomen. The rune brightened for a moment before fading. “You won’t need to worry about getting pregnant for the next few days.”

“Oh ... well, that’s handy, isn’t it?”

Beri jumped up and began clearing the table in front of Adaya.

“Beri? What are you doing?” she asked.

“Making you late for work,” the dog-girl answered before bending her lover over the cleared table and yanking her pants down.

“Beri?!” Adaya screeched but wasn’t putting up much of a fight as the dog girl knelt beside her and reached around to pull her ass cheeks apart. Adaya’s rosebud and sex tightened and relaxed as he looked on, either in anticipation or in an attempt to hide from his gaze. Given how wet she appeared to be, Titus went with the first option.

“I had so much fun last night,” said Beri, “but I never got to see you drive her wild with your cock. Fuck her, Titus.”

Adaya was looking over her shoulder at him, and he waited until she gave him a slight nod of approval before undoing his pants.

“Make it quick, or I will be late for work,” she said before looking away.

“No promises,” said Titus as he lined his cock up and slowly slid into the woman. “It’s our first time together, and I intend for us both to enjoy it.” He saw Adaya’s mouth working, but no sound came out except a long moan as he filled her.

“I’ll help,” said Beri. The dog girl slipped under the table, and a few seconds later, he felt her long, soft tongue dragging across Adaya’s clit as well as the underside of his cock.

Adaya was tight. So tight that he never built up much speed for fear of hurting her despite the wetness of her pussy. But the stimulation was intense and helped along by the feel of Beri’s tongue on his prick and balls.

“Focus on her,” said Titus through gritted teeth, “I’m not going to last long.”

“Hear that, love? Your flower is so good he can’t help himself,” said Beri before attacking the woman’s clit.

Adaya shivered while letting out little squeaking moans each time he bottomed out inside her pussy. The squeaks grew louder and louder until she bit the sleeve of her shirt to quiet them. After only a few minutes of Titus and Beri’s dual onslaught, Adaya’s body tightened up and shook as she moaned out her climax. Surprisingly, she didn’t get much tighter the way Beri or Alise did when they came. He understood why a few seconds later, when her climax released her, and the woman’s grip on his cock relaxed.

Beri stopped licking her lover and instead focused on Titus’s cock and balls as he sped up his strokes to a more regular rhythm. After the earlier tightness of Adaya’s sex, it took less than a minute before he pressed himself against her ass and painted the inside of her pussy with cum.

“Beri, sweetheart, one more while he’s still inside me, please,” begged Adaya

The dog resumed licking her lover’s clit while Titus continued pressing himself against the woman’s ass to keep from slipping out as he softened. A little over a minute later, Adaya bit her sleeve again as her pussy clamped down on Titus’s cock. He hadn’t gone completely soft, mostly because of Beri’s tongue on the base of his prick and the way Adaya gripped him as the dog-girl licked her. Titus rocked into the woman’s rear as she rode out her orgasm, trying to make it feel even a little better for Adaya.

“It’s been so long since I’ve been with a man. I wish I could do this all day,” she moaned as her climax finally abated.

Titus finally pulled out only to have his cock replaced by Beri’s tongue catching what Adaya couldn’t keep inside. A few seconds later, she turned around and began cleaning his cock of his and her lover’s fluids, which soon made him start to harden again. Despite the pleasure of the dog-girl’s mouth, Titus felt like he’d had enough for now and gently pushed her away, saying, “Save some for later.”

Adaya used a clean napkin from the table to dry her sex before pulling her pants back up. Now I’m going to have to run through this snow,” she said while frantically throwing on her winter clothes. “Love you,” she said before giving Beri a passionate kiss with lots of tongue. Maybe human women in this world liked the taste of cum more than back on Earth? She stepped over to Titus, gave him a peck on the cheek, and said, “I’m looking forward to tonight,” before rushing out the door.

Beri pouted as Titus tucked his cock back into his pants before returning to her place at the table and continuing her meal.

“What’s your plan for today?” she asked.

“Pick up the supplies Alise and I will need for the rest of the winter. I’ll probably talk to Haim for a bit since he’s the only person I know besides you two in town. I may visit the adventurer’s guild again. I should get to know them better since I will be setting out on my own in the spring. I’m also curious if I leveled up since the last time I visited.”

“Then let me get dressed and come with you,” said Berri. “I have business with the apothecary as well.”

“Helloo!” Titus called out as he opened the door to Haim’s shop, then waved Berri inside before following her.

“Titus! I’ll be with you in just a minute,” said the herbalist, then turned back to the customer he had been helping and held out a small ceramic jar sealed with wax. “Twice a day, clean your rash with soap and water. Pat it dry, don’t wipe it, or you will irritate it more, then apply the salve. If the rash is as bad as you say, the salve will probably sting at first, but that should go away within a few days, and the rash should be completely gone within a tenday.”

“Thank you, young man,” said the older lady across the counter as the jar disappeared beneath her layers of clothing.

Titus opened and held the door for the old woman before approaching the counter. “Not even a thank you,” he grumbled.

“Why did you do that?” asked Beri.

“Holding the door open for the ladies and old folk was being courteous back on Earth. Is it not here?”

“Maybe among the nobles in a big city, but not for us country folk.”

“Especially in winter,” said Haim as he turned around and placed a couple of logs into the fireplace behind him. Titus noted that he could see the room beyond through the crackling fire. “You let all my warm air out.”

“Sorry, I was just trying to be nice. I had a good morning and wanted to share it with someone.”

Haim gave him a skeptical look before turning to Beri. “How can I help you, miss?”

“I would like a potion to put me into heat,” she replied, blushing and casting embarrassed glances toward Titus.

“No wonder your morning was so good,” said the herbalist while fetching a vial of green liquid from the many shelves lining the walls behind the counter, then pulled some dried leaves from a drawer. Haim set the vial down, then dropped the leaves in a large mortar and pestle on the counter. After crushing them into a fine powder, he poured the vial’s contents into the mortar until it became a dark green slurry. Then, he carefully transferred the slurry back into the vial. “Elixir of Lady’s Heart leaf. That will be two silvers. And have something to chase it ... with...” Haim and Titus watched with amazement as Beris slammed two silver pieces onto the counter, grabbed the vial, ripped out the stopper, and upended the bottle into her mouth.

Her eyes widened, and she slapped her hand over her mouth as her stomach immediately began heaving, but she refused to let her precious potion escape her lips.

“You’re an idiot,” Haim calmly muttered, pulling a wineskin and cup out from beneath the counter. Titus saw from the burgundy color that it was indeed wine as the apothecary poured some into the cup and handed it to Beri. “Calm yourself, then drink some of this. Swish it around in your mouth, then swallow. Repeat until the taste is gone.”

Beri reached out and took the cup with one hand while the other remained over her mouth. After a few seconds of breathing deeply through her nose, she moved her hand and took a quick swig of the wine. After repeating Haim’s instructions three times, she drained the last of the cup’s contents and exclaimed, “That was awful!”

“Had you listened to my instructions fully, I could have warned you that it tasted horrible and that wine or spirits were the best at washing away the flavor. I understand your excitement, especially if this is your first, but that’s no excuse for being dumb.”

Haim’s voice softened. “Now, this won’t be like your normal heat. It will be a lot milder. However, if you have your heart set on a particular man to be the father,” Haim glared at Titus, “you should probably stay home and avoid any other men. Now shoo, you’ll start giving off a mating scent soon, and I don’t want you starting an orgy in my shop.”

“Yes, sir,” said Beri. She got up on her tiptoes and gave Titus a peck on the cheek. “I’m looking forward to you coming home tonight,” she said before heading toward the door.

“Hey, Miss?” Haim called

Beri turned, “Yes.”

“Like with your normal heats, it will end the moment his seed takes. If the elixir doesn’t take effect, that means you are already pregnant.”

“Then I’m hoping it never takes effect,” she said before leaving with her tail wagging so fast Titus thought she could use it like a propeller for a speed boost.”

“So she’s going to be the mother of your first?” asked Haim. His tone was less than friendly.

Titus nodded. “I wish it were Alise, but she wants to wait until after I’ve done my exploring and I’m ready to settle down. I get it. She wants a life with us and our children. Beri and Adaya just want a child and seem to have taken a liking to me. By the way, what was the reason for that last thing you said to her?”

“I tell that to the women who buy it because I don’t want to be called a fraud if they never feel its effects. If you two have already slept together, there is a chance she may never go into heat, or her heat may only last a few hours due to previous activities. So, how are you feeling about your bed companions?”

“I’m more comfortable with it. But I think that’s because I still feel the same about Alise today. I enjoy Beri and Adaya’s company, but they aren’t looking to add me to their family. More importantly, I’m not looking to become a part of theirs. We’ll have some fun, get to know each other, and maybe conceive a kid, but in a few days, I’ll go back to the woman I love, and they’ll return to their lives. Most importantly, I’m okay with all that.”

Haim sighed. “When you showed up last night, I thought you were running out on Alise. I guess I was wrong, but, as you put it, I’m okay with being wrong about you. What is your plan for the rest of the day?”

“Pick up our supplies, check out the adventurer’s guild. I’m not sure beyond that. Maybe find a small job to make a little money.”

“What about using your Hero’s blood to make some money?”

“How so?”

“You could sell your dick. Those who lay with the Hero or his kin are granted Saili’s blessing. You may not be the Hero, but you are essentially the Hero’s kin. You could make some money and have some fun in the process.”

“First, you’re upset because I might be cheating on Alise. Now you are suggesting I should prostitute myself?”

“Cheating is in the heart, and you made it clear where your heart is. So yes, I suggest you mess around a little and make some money doing it. Isn’t that a part of why Alise sent you here alone?”

“Well ... yes. But not to make money doing it.”

“Then don’t worry about the coin. Just go fuck around and have a little fun. The adventurers you mess around with won’t mind once they know you have a Hero’s blood.”

“I’ll think about it, but I have supplies to pick up right now.”

“Have fun. Drop by and see me later.”

“What for?”

“To say hi? Chat? Tell me how your day went?”

“Oh ... yeah. I guess I could do that. See you later, Haim.”

Haim shook his head as Titus walked out the door. “You’d think the man never had a friend in his first life.”

Shopping went quickly since there wasn’t much he and Alise needed. Titus stopped at Beri and Adaya’s and dropped off his purchases before visiting the adventurer’s guild. The scent inside the house when he opened the door made him hard almost instantly, even though Beri was nowhere to be seen. There was little doubt that Haim’s elixir had worked as he set the supplies inside the door and hastily retreated before the dog-girl noticed his presence.

It was still well before noon when Titus found himself in front of the adventurer’s guild. Haim’s idea had been running through the back of his head most of the morning in a constant battle with his past self-image. It amazed him that even though Alise loved him, Beri and Adaya thought he was handsome enough to stalk him on his first visit to Lylean, the one female adventurer threw herself at him, and even Haim made his interest clear, when left alone with his thoughts for a little while all of the doubt and worries of rejection Titus knew in his previous life came crashing back in.

Titus stepped into the Adventurer’s guild and quickly closed the door behind him to keep the cold air out. The large hearth in the middle of the room popped and crackled as it kept the building warm. To one side of the hearth was the large common room and dining area filled with tables and either benches or chairs, as well as the stairs leading to rentable rooms on the second floor. On the other side of the hearth was the counter where people posted and adventurers turned in quests. Beside it on the wall hung a large posting board for quests. The guildmaster and his staff worked in the area behind the posting board while the space immediately behind the counter held the guild’s kitchen.

“Li, was it?” he asked as he approached the counter.

“Well, hello there, handsome. I was wondering if you were ever going to darken our door again,” she replied with a flirty smile. “Come to check your ranking?”

“Yes...” Titus breathed deeply and steeled himself for the ridicule he was about to receive, “and I’m looking to make a little coin.”

“There aren’t many quests right now—”

“Not doing a quest,” he said quickly, then took another deep breath. “I was put into the Hero’s body when I came to Calar. I understand that those intimate with the hero become significantly more powerful afterward.”

Li’s eyes lit up. “And you want to sell a chance at that power?”

Titus nodded.

“Let me talk to the guildmaster first, and we’ll see what we can do,” she said, nearly bouncing with excitement.

“Well, she didn’t laugh at the idea,” he muttered to himself once the girl disappeared through a curtain made of canvas with the guild’s insignia painted on it.

A few minutes later, she came out of the office, looking slightly more subdued but still smiling. “The guildmaster said she would allow it, but with some stipulations. First, we get a percentage of the money that changes hands. Second, you cannot strike a deal and take your customer elsewhere to avoid giving the guild its cut. Third, you must rent a room for the day before looking for customers.”

“Customers,” said Titus, feeling the word out. There was such a stigma back on Earth about prostitution that part of him couldn’t believe he was even contemplating this. His thoughts went to his brief interlude with Brandy shortly before being sent to Calar. Brandy was a street whore, dragged to the bottom and held there by drugs and circumstances until she didn’t know or even consider any other kind of life. His situation was vastly different. He wasn’t sating people’s lusts to feed himself the next day the way Brandy did. He was offering a service with long-term benefits for coins he didn’t need. It just so happened that the delivery of said service was very pleasurable.

Okay, how much is your percentage?”

“Three silver per customer. Oh, and the guild determines the price of your services, so you don’t undercut yourself.

‘Three silver isn’t a percentage,’ was Titus’s immediate thought. “One silver or the room is free. Also, are there any other hidden stipulations I should know about?”

“The guildmaster wants your payment for the room first, so the guild gets its money even if you don’t have any customers. The other staff and I will also promote your services, and you shouldn’t expect us to do it for free. Two silver. The only other condition the guildmaster had was that if you proved to have the Hero’s blood in you, then she and the rest of the guild’s staff get a turn with you for free.”

Titus looked Li over and smiled. “I don’t mind that last part. But how much are you planning on charging?”

“A lot more than a common man-whore would get.”

“Ugh ... did you have to put it that way? Most of the prostitutes in my world were women and looked down on by everyone.”

“Oh, no,” said Li, looking very sorry after seeing the annoyed look on his face. Man-whores on Calar are highly respected since many women will never have a male mate in their lifetime. They allow those women to enjoy the fantasy, even if it’s just for a night. I can’t imagine a woman being a whore. They’d sit on their butts and be bored all day.”

“Then why don’t men just become man whores?”

“The drugs they take to keep up with their many clients steal their ability to have children. Most men who become man-whores are already sterile from other factors. The drugs also notably shorten their lives.”

“Back on Earth, it’s a running joke among the men that the best way to die would be balls-deep in a woman. These guys are living that dream, but that’s a steep cost. Then again, on Earth, a man’s virility is very much a part of their identity. It was rare, but I heard of men committing suicide because they found out they were sterile or had something called ED where they couldn’t get hard or orgasm anymore.”

“Ee-Dee?” said Li, sounding out the unfamiliar English letters. “That sounds like a horrible disease. Did it not affect women?”

“It was more of a disorder than a disease and specifically affected men. Women had their own problems, but ED wasn’t one of them.”

“This is fascinating. I would love to sit and talk with you about your world and your previous life sometime. But you had a purpose for coming here. First, let me see your pendant.”

Titus handed over the amber pendant and placed it into a square tray lined with felt. She placed a finger on a small gem embedded into the side, and a few moments later, the felt began glowing. After a couple of seconds, the glow faded.

“Sorry, it looks like you haven’t gained enough experience to progress to the next level yet,” said Li, handing the amber pendant back to him.

“I’m hardly disappointed,” he replied, dropping the pendant back into its pouch. “I don’t feel like I’ve made any giant leaps in skill since my last visit.”

“That’s actually a relief for me. I see so many new adventurers work their tails off only to be disappointed when they don’t level up,” Li explained. “Let’s see if anyone is interested in climbing in bed with you.” She batted her eyelashes at him. “Besides me, that is.”

“Keep it up, and I may haul you up to whatever room I end up in.”

“That sounds like fun, but I can’t afford you right now,” she said, walking out from around the counter. “I’ll wait until she has the proof she wants.”

Titus gave her a puzzled look. “Can’t afford—?”

“Your attention, please, everyone!” she called out to those in the dining area. Li took a moment to make sure all eyes were on her before continuing. “Beside me is Titus...” she paused and looked over at him, “What is your surname?”

“Langley.”

“Titus Langley! The Goddess Saili mistakenly took him from his world instead of the Hero. Titus was given the Hero’s body and sent to Calar while Saili continued her search. That means spending intimate time with him offers all the same benefits as being with the Hero. The question then is ... how much is it worth to seize a portion of the Hero’s power? For a single gold piece, you can boost your magic power or increase your prowess in battle. A beastman can sharpen their senses and make their abilities stronger. Indeed, a single gold is a small price for such power.

“Saili doesn’t make mistakes,” said a human woman dressed as a cleric.

“She didn’t,” Titus quickly replied, “My old body was dying, and I collapsed where the Hero should have been standing.”

The cleric gazed at him for a long moment, looking for any signs of dishonesty before grunting her acceptance and looking away.

The guild’s dining room remained quiet for a few seconds before a woman shouted. “Fuck off.”

“Valta!” Li snapped, putting her hands on her hips. “You were throwing yourself at him the last time he was here! I expected you to be first in line!” Titus confirmed that the speaker was the same woman who bared her ass to him on his last visit and all but begged him to fuck her right there in front of Li.

“I did,” Valta replied, unfazed by Li’s anger. “But I was half-drunk too. Nobody’s paying some stranger to fuck them when he hasn’t proven himself for shit around here.” Murmurs of agreement ran through the room, and within seconds, everyone had returned to their meals and cups of ale.

“Maybe your price is a little high?” Titus suggested. Even he felt like an entire gold piece to sleep with him was pretty steep when a couple of copper pieces could get you a hearty meal.

“Nope. Anything less would cheat you, and you should expect the price to increase as more people learn about you.”
