King Gabriel stared at Raymond for a long moment, face unreadable. He took a long drink from his cup then stared into it like it held the answer.
"You make a very good point, Sir Raymond." The King nodded solemnly without looking up. "Indeed, old grievances do seem petty in the face of life and death. It's a fact I seem to have forgotten in the decades of peace."
He looked up and met Raymonds gaze.
"In the morning, I will meet with my leaders, and we will give you a pledge to take with you to the other kingdoms. In the meantime, we have prepared a place for you to stay tonight. I trust you will find it quite comfortable."
The King stood, Raymond and Alecia followed suit and bowed low. King Gabriel inclined his head and took his leave.
When they left the tent, night had already fallen. They were led to the residential district where adjoining apartments had been readied for their stay. When they arrived there was a party going on.
The homes were arranged in a circle around a small park,with a fountain at its center. The party was lit by light from the fountain, food and drink flowed freely, and musicians played lively music as people danced happily.
Raymond nudged their guide. "What's the occasion?" The man shrugged. "Who knows. Celebrations like this pop up all the time. People here just love life."
Ray smiled at Alecia. "Wanna pop in?" he asked, nodding at the party. Alecia shook her head. "Today has been… a lot. You go. I'm gonna get some sleep." Ray nodded, understanding. "Good night then Princess." Alecia smiled and rolled her eyes as she disappeared inside.
Raymond headed over to the party. The atmosphere was electric and it reminded him so much of his younger days.
He sat by the makeshift bar and just watched while thinking about all the nights he went to the club with his squad. He was handed what looked like a coconut filled with a sweet drink.
He tasted it and nodded approvingly then lifted a toast to the sky in honor of his fallen comrades in arms.
He sipped his drink while he listened to the music. The drum rhythms and heavy bass lines reminded him heavily of the hip-hop, dancehall, and reggaeton he used to love back in the day.
As the alcohol took hold, he began to get more and more loose as he danced in his chair. He was thoroughly enjoying himself.
Just as he finished his drink, three young, very sexy Goblin girls ran up to him giggling. They grabbed his arms and half dragged him to the dancefloor.
They fell into a sexy orbit around him, pressing their young soft bodies against him while they danced provocatively.
After getting over his initial surprise, Raymond fell into his "trademark" two-step, even grinding on whichever girl happened to be in front of him at the time.
He had no idea how much time was going by. He had three sexy women dancing with him and six hands touching him absolutely everywhere. This was paradise.
After a good long time, no idea how long, each of his three cuties kissed his cheek and sauntered off to wherever they came from. The music was still hot and Raymond was in the middle of his third drink, so he let them go and kept the party going by himself.
That's when he saw her. Golden eyes and a red dress. Raymond knew instantly, whatever was about to happen, he was powerless to stop it.
She strode toward him slowly. A Wolfkin woman.
Piercing golden eyes, long black and white hair, fluffy ears, short, fluffy tail swaying back and forth with her hips. Her crimson red dress crossed over her chest, covering her small breast, but left her toned abs on full display.
Her skirt was floor length with deep splits tracing up each thick muscular thigh. Just as striking as everything else, even barefoot she was almost as tall as Raymond.
"Damn" was the only word his brain could form.
The band shifted to a slow sexy rhythm, and the wolf in the red dress put her arms around Raymonds neck. She started rolling her body to the music and Raymond fell in rhythm with her.
She licked her lips and never broke eye-contact, never said a word. Raymond pulled her body against his as they danced like they were skin-to skin.
Everything about this woman was sexy. Her shape, smell, feel, all turned Raymond on to no end. It was not long before his body made that fact very evident.
Once alerted to his arousal, the beautiful Wolfkin glanced down then back up at Raymond before smiling and turning around to plant her firm ass on his pole.
She looked back at him smirking as they grinded their bodies together sensually. Time again lost all meaning.
The woman, no longer content with the lack of space between them, wrapped her tail around raymonds waist and leaned back against his chest. She took his hands and slid them down her bare thighs, then all the way back up her body to her chest.
Then she turned her head and moaned in Raymonds ear. A shiver went down raymonds spine and he suddenly had a very strong urge to drag this woman off somewhere and give her the business.
That's when she turned around and kissed him. Raymonds brain shut off and his body moved on its own.
He kissed her back passionately and palmed her firm ass in both hands. She moaned into the kiss then pulled back catching his eyes again.
"Let's take this party somewhere else."
A few minutes later they were inside her home, kissing with reckless abandon. She was grinding on Raymond firm manhood while his hands kneaded her firm behind.
She pushed Raymond onto her couch and immediately climbed on his lap panting heavily. She licked and kissed his neck then pulled back, looking at him like something was on her mind.
"I need to tell you something before we go further." her voice was low and husky, and her brows were furrowed.
