The Kaidia Chronicles 2: The New Tavern Wench (F/F)

[NovusImperatrixScorpio]

The evening after finding an unwanted but not unwelcome redheaded "gift" in her home, Kaidia was sitting at the tavern down the street, having a drink, wearing her usual tunic, leather pants, and boots, all in their usual black. She'd left her armor at home for the day, of course. After spending the day in the markets replenishing her pantry, buying new clothing for Mytheria, and keeping Mytheria in line... the warrior needed a drink. Myth had behaved for the most part. A couple of warning swats to the seat of her pants had been the only encouragement that she'd needed to keep behaving.

Kai had dropped Mytheria off at the house after a discussion about horrid things that happened to little thieves that stole from big mercenaries. Kaidia felt comfortable leaving Myth on her own at the house. After all, the redhead had become a thief out of necessity, not because she enjoyed it. Now that she had a place to live and food to eat, stealing things wasn't high on her list of things to do.

Kaidia sat at a table that was tucked away into the front corner of the tavern. Her back was to the corner where the walls came together. A tankard sat on her table and the warrior's fingers were wrapped around it, ignoring the handle. Her eyes were following one of the serving wenches. The girl couldn't be much older than Mytheria. She was, perhaps, even the same age as the thief. She wasn't the stereotypical, big breasted, cleavage flashing, flirty, trollop of a girl that taverns generally employed as serving girls. Though she wore a soft, brown, leather tunic with a low neckline to show at least a little cleavage. She was slimmer. Curved but not obscenely so. Shortish, two tone hair covered the girl's head. Some bangs near the front were blonde whilst the rest was pitch black. She was fiesty too, Kaidia had noted. The first night she'd see the girl, she'd watched as one of the patron's hands had slid up under the girl's short skirt. She'd then grinned in amusement as the girl cracked the man in the head with the bottom of a tankard, causing a chorus of laughter from the man's friends. A similar grin curved her lips now as she remembered the moment fondly. Kai noted that the girl had on a pair of leather pants tonight, likely to avoid wandering hands getting too close for comfort. Panties only did so much to protect a woman's modesty, after all. Kai had never worn a skirt in her life so she could only imagine the irritation of wearing one, let alone wearing one and working around a bunch of lecherous guards and mercenaries.

Kaidia had to pause a moment and let another smile curve her lips, faint though it might be. Kai was one of those lecherous mercenaries and she knew it. The fact that she went after serving girls simultaneously allied her with her male counterparts and set her apart from them. Hence, Kai often kept to herself. The warrior's eyes stayed on the girl for several more minutes, even as the girl approached Kai's table.

Kai smiled upward as the girl stopped at her table.
"Drinking?"
"Ale."
"Need more?"
"Aye."

The girl snatched up Kai's tankard and walked off to the bar whilst Kai's eyes watched said girl's bottom in her snug britches.

When the girl returned with Kai's refilled mug and set it on the table, the warrior gave a soft smile. "So, dear... what's your name?" she asked conversationally. "Rose." the girl said shortly. "Pretty name for a pretty girl." Kai said with that soft smile of her's. "Thank you. First time I've been courted by a woman in here." Rose said a bit sarcastically. Kai's brows rose. "If I was, as you say, courting you... would it make you drop the attitude?" the warrior asked, a bit of feigned irritation in her voice. Rose just smirked. "Not likely." she answered. Kaidia's eyes narrowed slightly. "Hm. Good. I like a little fire in a girl." she said with a hint of pleasure. "Do you? Too bad that doesn't matter." Rose replied with a bit of a huff. "Oh? Why doesn't it matter, Rose?" the warrior asked without bothering to hide the tone of amusement in her voice. That amusement only ruffled Rose's feathers further. "Because you will not get the chance fan or douse my flames, mercenary." the girl growled in reply.

Kai's brow arched and in a flurry of movement, she had reached out, snagged the waist of Rose's pants, and jerked the girl down into her lap. Kaidia's hands then captured both of Rose's wrists so as to avoid being cracked in the skull with her own tankard. The mercenary put her lips against the shorter woman's ear and whispered. "I don't wish to fan or douse your fire. I only wish to gain mastery your flames, pretty flower." she said softly, followed by a nip to the girl's earlobe. Kai gave a soft smile when she felt Rose's body shiver against her own. Rose sat stiffly, body trembling against the powerful woman who held her. "M-mastery? Such a bold ambition for a nameless sellsword." came the serving girl's somewhat shaky retort. It was also a bit of a lie. Rose knew who the woman was. It was hard to be in this city even a day and not know. Kaidia was a local legend. There were whispers of more, as well. Rumors of her past. That Kaidia was, in fact, a member of a mercenary band from the last great war that had ended a couple of years ago. A small group of elite warriors known as the Dragons of Vortha.

Rose brought herself back to the present before she could recall everything that group was said to have done. Another shiver ran up her spine. If the speculation of Kaidia's past was truthful, Rose was sitting in the lap of one of the most dangerous people alive... and being hit on by the same.

"Namless? Hardly so. I am Kaidia Valengaard." the warrior purred into Rose's ear. "I know who you are!" Rose replied sharply. Kai's brows rose slightly and she chuckled. "Oh? So you're a little liar, are you?" she asked rhetorically. Before Rose could reply, she found herself being stood up by Kai's hands on her hips. Then one of those hands swatted the girl's backside firmly. "Finish your work. I'll be here when you're done." Kai said in a tone that allowed no response. Thus, Rose rushed off to continue her work for the evening with a blush coloring her cheeks and Kaidia's eyes upon her the whole while.

-------------

Roughly an hour later, Kaidia and Rose made their way out of the tavern. Kai, being the sophisticated warrior that she was, offered her arm to Rose. Rose, smiling at being treated so politely, took the offered arm and walked alongside the mercenary. "Where might we be headed?" the smaller woman asked. "That depends. I can walk you home, if you'd like." Kai responded with a gesture of her hand toward the dirt street beneath their feet. "I sleep on a cot in the back of the tavern." Rose answered dryly.

Kai glanced to the girl at this, a disapproving look on her face. "Truly? That's not acceptable for a pretty young lady such as yourself, Rose." she said with a bit of a frown. Rose shrugged slightly. "One must do what one must do, Kaidia." she said a bit ruefully. "That's a truth that never changes." Kai replied with a faint sigh.

They continued to walk, making small talk as they took the long route to Kai's home. "How did your hair happen to become as it is?" Kai asked, gesturing to Rose's two tone hair. "Oh, I was dabbling in some magic. I was attempting to change the color of a friend's pet rabbit from white to yellow and the spell backfired. Luckily it just changed some of my hair from black to blonde." Rose explained. Kai's brows had risen a bit during the course of Rose's little story. "Magic isn't something to be played with, Rose." the warrior scolded. Rose blushed a bit, not used to being told off like that. "Yes, well... no harm was done so it's nothing to dwell on." she said with a huff. She got a disapproving look from Kaidia at that and looked off to the side as the two continued their little stroll.

By the time they ended up in front of the house, Rose had leaned her head over against the taller woman's shoulder, and had found herself smiling softly. Despite the possibility of Kaidia's past, something about the woman put Rose at ease. "I take it this is the home of the mighty Kaidia Valengaard?" she asked with a playfully smartass tone. "That it is." Kai said with a faint trace of pride. After all, the home was quite stately.

Kai led Rose inside, into the light of the torches that lit her home. "Welcome to my humble abode, pretty flower." she said with a flourish of her arm, gesturing to the spacious bottom floor, which was essentially all one big room. "Humble as a nobleman's palace, perhaps." Rose said, looking around. "I have stepped foot in a nobleman's palace before. Those are much more extravagant than this." Kai responded with a chuckle.

Just then, Mytheria padded down the stairs with a piece of folded parchment in her hands. "I thought I heard the door open." the redhead said with a faint smile. She spared Rose a quick glance, then stepped within reach if Kaidia and held out the parchment. "This came for you while you were away." she said quietly. "What is it?" Kai asked as she took the folded parchment. "I don't know. After yesterday, I'm not dumb enough to look before you." Mytheria said with a little blush. "Oh, good. That means your lesson from yesterday has stuck." the warrior said as she unfolded the parchment and read the spidery scrawl she found within. The redheaded thief blushed and Rose wondered faintly just what that lesson was that Kai had mentioned.

Kaidia quietly refolded the missive, then glanced between Rose and Mytheria. "Ah. You two. Mytheria, this is Rose. Rose, this is Mytheria." the warrior said with a gesture from one to the other, then back again. "Hi." Mytheria chirped happily. "Hello." was Rose's somewhat more polite reply. Kai smiled lightly. "Alright, now that we've got that out of the way, I think it's time you head to bed, Myth." she said. Mytheria pouted. "Aw but it's not that late, Kai." the redhead whined. "The sun went down hours ago." the warrior retorted gently. "And?" came the redhead's childish reply. "And you have chores tomorrow. Scrubbing the floors, pulling weeds, and washing the windows." Kaidia listed it all off with a smile.

Mytheria huffed a bit, turned, and trudged up the stairs, muttering to herself. Kai just smirked. Rose hid a smile behind her hand and giggled. Kai heard the giggle and turned a bit, eyeing the serving wench with a halfway playful look. "Want to join her tomorrow? Scrub the floors with her?" she asked with a smirk. Rose's giggling abruptly quieted. "Not at all." she replied as she shook her head. "Didn't think so." Kai said with a chuckle.

"Not like you could make me anyway." Rose grumbled under her breath. "Excuse me, young lady?" Kaidia asked. Rose looked up, startled. She hadn't thought she'd spoken loud enough to be heard. Kaidia stepped directly in front of Rose, looking down to the shorter woman. "N-nothing." Rose stammered. Kai didn't look like she believed that answer but she let it pass for now. "What's your full name, Rose?" she asked with genuine curiosity.

"Rose Haelstrom." the girl said softly. "I like it." Kai said with a smile. She then took Rose's hand, turned, and walked toward the stairs, pulling the serving girl along. "Wh-where are we going?" Rose managed to ask as she stumbled after the taller woman. "Upstairs." was the simple answer. "Why?" was Rose's next question. "To deal with you." the warrior replied. Rose didn't quite like the sound of that but she didn't seem to have any choice in the matter. The girl followed Kaidia up to the master bedroom. A shiver ran up Rose's spine as the door closed after she had been escorted into the room.

Kai gently guided Rose to the bed, sat down, and pulled the girl directly in front of her. The warrior's hands immediately went to unbuckling Rose's pants, which brought a squeak of surprise from the smaller woman. "What do you think you're doing??" Rose asked as she tried to push away Kai's hands. "Dealing with a sassy, fibbing, magic dabbler who's a little too big for her britches." Kaidia replied without taking her eyes off of her task. Despite the serving girl's interference, Kai got the buckles on the front of Rose's pants undone and jerked those pants down to the girl's knees. She quirked a brow.

"I like the the flowers on the front there." the warrior said with a chuckle. Rose's panties were dyed a pale pink with rose designs, of course, stitched into the front. The serving girl blushed brightly. "They were... a uh.. a gift, you know. From a former.. ah... suitor." she managed to mumble out. "I see. They're cute." Kai replied with a flash of a smile.

Rose rolled her eyes at that, then squeaked as she found herself being pulled to Kai's right, then down over the mercenary's lap. A blush colored Rose's cheeks and grew hotter yet as she felt the warrior's hand rest gently against her backside. The girl took a moment to ponder just how she'd gotten in this particular position. A thought that was abruptly interrupted by Kai's hand smacking the seat of Rose's panties quite sharply.

"Ouch!" the girl exclaimed with a gasp. She quickly bit her lip as the warrior's hand came down again... and again... and yet again. Kai took up a rhythm of steady, firm swats. She made sure that she covered every inch of Rose's cute, tight bottom and even the backs of the girl's thighs. Rose let out a few muffled squeaks and gasps as Kai's hand punished her bottom. "Lying about knowing who I am is fairly harmless. But you lied to me about it and I don't take lying lightly, little miss." the mercenary scolded. "Sorry! Really!" Rose cried out with no lack of sincerity.

The apology didn't make a bit of difference for the moment. That hand kept slapping the seat of Rose's panties with sharp, measured swats. "I should hope so. Lying is a bad habit to have and in most cases, will just get you into trouble. So I don't expect you to lie to me ever again, young lady." Kai lectured. "No no! No more lies! Ow! Ah! Please stop!" Rose promised and pleaded.

Much to Rose's surprise, the warrior's hand stopped. Much to the girl's dismay, Kai's fingers hooked into the waistband of those pink panties and drew them down to reveal a somewhat pinker bottom. "Hey! No! Please!" Rose cried out in protest as she reached back to try to prevent her panties from coming down. The mercenary sighed and trapped the stray hand by the wrist, against the girl's back with her left hand. "Now now. That is not allowed." she admonished gently before her right hand resumed swatting the girl's bared bottom.

Rose didn't manage to be so quiet this time around. The poor girl yelped, squeaked, and gave little shouts as Kai's hand smacked her rear. Kaidia smiled as she watched Rose's bottom bounce under the strong slaps of her hand.

"And playing with magic like it's some jester's harmless parlor trick is even worse than lying. Magic is volatile and dangerous, even in it's most simplistic form. If you want to learn magic, I'll teach you. Otherwise, you will leave it to the people who know what they're doing." Kai scolded as her hand kept swatting those slowly reddening cheeks. "If I hear about you practicing magic without my supervision, there will be hell to pay." the warrior stated in no uncertain terms. "Do you understand, girl?"

"Yes, Ma'am! Please no more!" Rose shouted. Kaidia ignored the plea, eyes focusing on the serving girl's bottom, her hand falling over and over on Rose's cheeks. The girl kicked her feet, shook her head, and used her free hand to grip at the warrior's calf as she yelped out with each smack. Rose wasn't used to this. Any spankings she'd gotten in the past certainly hadn't been given to her by a warrior who's arm was strengthened by wielding a sword. That strength was certainly being demonstrated to Rose as Kai's hard hand slapped against her bottom, right where her thighs and bottom met.

Kaidia gave the girl several more hard, swift smacks before pausing and reaching over to her bedside table. She grabbed the handle of an old, oval brush she used to use on her horse's mane. The bristles were mostly gone now but the thick, weathered wood of the brush was still sturdy and firm. The mercenary tapped the back of the brush to Rose's well warmed bottom. "Count these out loud, Rose." Kai said firmly before bringing the brush up... and then down on girl's bottom once, then twice. Her aim focused on those sit spots.

"One! Two!" Rose cried out with the swats of the brush. She sniffled and tears welled up in her eyes, quickly spilling over and slipping down her cheeks. The brush fell twice more, once on each cheek.

"Three! Four!" the girl exclaimed, feet kicking hard with the swats. The brush fell twice more, solid swats that sounded out with loud cracks.

"Five! Six!" Rose shouted. Her feet kicked again, sending her pants and panties to her ankles as more tears streamed down her cheeks. Kai showed no mercy as the brush fell twice more.

"Seven! Eight!!" Rose yeowled out, body twisting, writhing, trying to get loose. It was futile but she couldn't be bothered with realizing that at the moment. Kai put all the strength she had into the final two smacks of the brush, each one ringing out with a loud, crisp crack.

"NINE! TEN!!" the girl wailed pitifully. She sobbed and sniffled as Kai set the brush aside. The warrior gently rubbed the girl's reddened bottom for a moment before tenderly sitting the girl up in her lap. Rose's arms immediately wrapped around Kaidia's neck and the girl bawled against the mercenary. Kai wrapped her arms around the girl, rubbing her back to calm her. "Shh. It's all over." the warrior whispered softly.

It took a few minutes but Rose's crying gradually quieted and her body calmed. Kaidia patted the girl's sore bottom. "All done?" she asked.

A soft grumble was Rose's only answer. She squirmed a little, sat up a bit. The tip of her nose grazed Kai's cheek and then Rose did something quite daring, indeed. She pressed her soft lips firmly to the warrior's own. Kai's eyes widened in surprise. Pleasant surprise, of course. Then Rose pushed against the mercenary and Kai allowed herself to be laid back on the bed as the serving girl laid atop her. Rose kicked her boots, pants, and panties off entirely and pressed herself against the strong warrior's body with a wanting little whimper.

Kai took the lead this time, claiming Rose's lips in another kiss as her left arm wrapped around the girl, and her right hand slid between the two of them and then between Rose's thighs. When two of those fingers stroked over Rose's slick pussy lips, the girl shivered and gave a soft coo. When those same two fingers plunged into her, Rose moaned into the kiss she shared with Kaidia.

Kai, being no stranger to what makes a woman quiver, started thrusting those fingers into Rose quickly, over and over. Her thumb sought out the girl's clit and brushed against it as she shared kiss after heated kiss with the smaller, squirming woman. Rose abandoned the mercenary's lips and sank her teeth into Kai's skin where the warrior's neck and shoulder came together. Kai gave a soft hiss at the bite and her lips curved into a smirk.

The warrior's pumping fingers curled and spread apart inside Rose's wet little cunt, dragging along the slick walls inside her. Kai's thumb dragged back and forth over Rose's clit. The girl's breath grew shorter, quicker, even a bit ragged as that burning ball of pleasure grew in the pit of her stomach. A tingling spread throughout Rose's body and each breath that escaped her brought a moaning whine with it.

Kai turned her head and nipped at the panting girl's ear, her lips brushing that ear as she whispered softly. "Cum for me, little wench."

Rose arched her back, shuddered, and cried out as the powerful orgasm overtook her. Her pussy gushed over Kai's stroking fingers, causing the warrior to smile as her fingers became syrupy wet and Rose collapsed on top of her, panting and groaning, riding the waves of pleasure as they slowly, gradually ebbed away.

Across the way, Mytheria lay in her bed, smiling like the cat who ate the canary as she heard that cry of lust echo from Kaidia's room.

----------------

When Rose's eyes fluttered open to the chirping birds and the dim light of the early morning, she found Kaidia sitting on the edge of the bed in her plain undershirt and panties, staring at the unfolded parchment from the previous evening that she now held in her hand. Rose stretched and bit, then crawled on her hands and knees to the mercenary. She nuzzled Kai's shoulder and wrapped her arms around the warrior's neck from behind. The serving girl then kissed just behind Kai's ear. "What has you up this early, Kaidia?" she asked with a soft purr. Kai turned her head to Rose and kissed the girl softly, then drew a quiet breath and spoke.

"Could you do me a favor, pretty flower?"

Ah, now that was worth the wait. I think these tales of Kaidia will have a long future here. Well done.
