Chapter 3C
They’d been inching their way closer and closer to the Queen’s bed for what seemed like an eternity before the back of Eve’s knee’s finally made contact with it. She forced herself to break free from the kiss and look Varia in the eyes before she reached down and started to remove her own shirt. Varia looked at her intently and brought her hands forward to halt the action.
“We don’t have to do this.” The Queen said. “I mean, if you’re not ready I understand.”
Eve smiled at her softly and continued to remove her shirt. She spoke once it was clear of her head and deposited haphazardly onto the floor.
“Varia as far as I’m concerned the hard part is over. So unless you’re having second thoughts, I was hoping we could proceed on our current course.”
“Thank the Gods.” She said as she once again lowered her mouth to Eves and proceeded to shed her own top. “You have no idea how badly I want you.”
“I think I might be able to understand.” Eve said, helping her with the complicated leather corset.
Once it was shed they both fell onto the bed and situated themselves near its head. Varia maneuvered herself on top of Eve; her right thigh pressing into the apex of the Messenger’s thighs. Eve threw her head back and moaned at the contact, giving Varia ample invitation to sample the soft skin of her neck while her right hand roamed teasingly along the woman’s side.
Eve clutched at her back and relished the skin on skin contact of their upper bodies, while her lower body started to grind against the Amazon. She could feel her suckling at her exposed neck and immediately pulled the dark head down harder onto her skin. Varia, in turn, sucked more intently on the creamy expanse of flesh and was rewarded with a moan.
The encouragement on Eve’s part led the Queen to explore further with her hands. Slowly her strokes started to wander closer to the Messenger’s exposed breasts. Eve’s breathing was becoming erratic as she moved in closer so she decided to pull back so she could see her eyes. As her lower body continued to grind against the woman her hand slowed its path. She the blue-green eyes in front of her widen in anticipation as the mouth below them hungrily sucked in air and expelled moans so small they were almost undetectable. When she finally reached the soft mound under her hand they became somewhat less undetectable. Eve closed her eyes as Varia lovingly caressed and squeezed her breast before her fingers descended upon an aching nipple.
At that moment Eve threw her head back with a moan and decided it was time to turn the tables as she flipped the Queen over and started her own exploration. She kissed her way from soft lips, over an incredibly proud chin, down the expanse of a tightly corded neck, and finally onto the soft swell of an exposed breast. When her tongue finally reached an erect nipple she felt a strong hand take hold of the back of her head and encourage her to continue on. While she complied for a short while she had other plans that involved a continued survey of the beautifully strong body before her. Her mouth started to kiss, lick and suck down a rock hard expanse of muscle before meeting the knotted leather of an Amazon skirt.
“I’ve wanted to taste you for so long.” Eve said as she started to divest the Queen of her belt. “But every time I thought about it I could only imagine how wrong it was for me to want you.” With the belt loose she started on the skirt itself. Once it was completely off she looked up to Varia, hesitance in her eyes and a nervous chuckle in her voice. “I guess now it’s my turn to say this: If you’re not ready I understand. Are you sure that this is what you want? That… I’m… what you want.” She asked, half expecting for Varia to change her mind and tell her to get out.
Instead the Amazon Queen sat up and brought Eve onto her knees so they could be face to face. As she spoke softly to Eve she stroked her cheek.
“Eve, I have never wanted anyone as much as I want you.” She said before placing a soft kiss against the messengers. “And with all we’ve got working against us, for me to still want you as much as I do must mean that there is something between us; something strong and right. I want to feel you loving me instead of chastising myself for imagining it. I want us to take all the energy we’ve used to hurt each other and refocus it on pleasing each other.” She kissed her again, this time taking her time and drawing it out. “Love me, Eve.” She said, once they finally broke apart. “Just love me.”
Varia’s plea destroyed any insecurities the messenger might have had before and served to only fan the flames of her desire. With a soft growl she pushed Varia back onto her back and finished removing the last obstacle between her and her goal. She gently eased Varia’s legs apart and lowered herself down to start the healing process.
“And after she’d said her goodbyes to both the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion she moved on to her dearest friend in all of OZ and hugged him as she said ‘Oh, Scarecrow, I think I’ll miss you most off all.’ Then with a click of her heels and a few recitations of ‘There’s no place like home.’ She was back in her bed, safe on the farm in Kansas with her Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and all the farm hands waiting worriedly for her to wake up. Dorothy had finally made her way back home.”
Sarah finished and was met with a raucous bout of applause from all of the Amazons around her; some even had tears in their eyes.
“Thank you, thank you.” She said, bowing a few times before taking her seat around the fire.
“What a wonderful story.” Meg said.
“It’s one of my favorites.” Sarah replied.
“Could have done with a little more suspense.” Zoe said with a friendly wink.
“No, I think we’ve had enough of that for a while, considering the circumstances.” Meg said before finishing off her wine.
“This is true.” Zoe agreed. “I’m not sure if they told you when you reached the camp, but we’ve lost a few of our sisters to something out there in the woods.”
“They did.” Sarah said. “Varia said that there were some road brigands taking out the Amazons that wandered into the woods at night.”
“Well that’s one version.” Zoe replied.
“What do you mean?” Sarah asked. “What’s the other version?”
“Well I don’t know how many common thieves you’ve come in contact with, but they don’t usually tend to take the bodies with them when they’ve finished looting and they definitely don’t leave perfectly good weapons behind.”
Sarah thought about it for a bit and realized that Zoe was right.
“That actually makes a lot of sense.” She said. “What do you think has happened to the girls?”
“Could be a number of things.” Anthony piped in. “Cannibals are known to take their victims back to camp, as are zealots that might have used them for ritualistic sacrifice.”
“Eww.” Meg said, scrunching her face. “Can we please not talk about this? Those were our friends that went missing out there. I don’t want to think about them being eaten or sacrificed.”
“And I don’t want to hear about any more of them winding up that way.” Rah said, standing up and swaying as she finished off her wine. She was obviously three sheets to the wind and everyone got quite as she spoke. “I say we go out there and show those Cannibells or ritua… ritual…murderer’s who’s boss. I’ll take ‘em all on myself if I have to.” She slurred as she threw down her cup, and grabbed her bow and quiver before bolting over the wooden fence and into the woods.
Everyone at the campfire was dumbfounded enough to simply sit there and stare for a few seconds. Sarah finally composed herself enough to speak.
“Is she serious?” She asked the group as they all started to get to their feet.
“Depends on how drunk she is.” Zoe said as she took off after the girl.
“Holy shit.” Sarah said and went after them both, Anthony following close behind her and Meg not far behind him.
“Rah, get your ass back here!”
They heard Zoe cry as their eyes tried to adjust to the darkness once they’d all climbed over the fence.
“We don’t have to do this.” The Queen said. “I mean, if you’re not ready I understand.”
Eve smiled at her softly and continued to remove her shirt. She spoke once it was clear of her head and deposited haphazardly onto the floor.
