Ero-Game: Power and Sword

Chapter 56: Playing Cards (18+)



Spoiler

“Thanks for the ride.” I gave the driver 10 copper and ran into the hotel holding the package with my 3 custom clothes under my armpit. I was wet, and my socks felt soggy. I had found the driver in a cafe after spotting her carriage parked outside that same cafe. She wouldn’t move  for anything lower than 10 copper.
The rain was awful, and it was only getting worse. I heard the echoes of thunder as I entered the hotel.
With squeaky feet, I walked up the stairs.

I opened the door to our room and went in. Otto and Sterling weren’t inside. I put the wet umbrella in the corner and unfolded my new clothes. I looked them over and took the plumber’s overalls to the bathroom. I held it up to my shoulder and thought, “Not bad.” It should fool most.
Then I hung up all 3 of them in the closet and looked at the time. It was past lunch again, and again I hadn’t eaten. I decided I’d only get a snack, so I could still have dinner later. So I changed out of my wet clothes and went downstairs.

I spotted everyone around a large table when I entered the restaurant, playing cards.
I grabbed a plate, got some cake, and pulled up a chair beside them.
“Ah, master.” Garth pulled out an umbrella from a bag beside his feet and said, “Here’s your umbrella.”
I had a fork in my hand. “Just put it there.” I pointed to the table beside us. “You went out into the rain?”
“Yes, to buy the umbrellas like I said I would, master.” He said.
“Right, good job,” I said.
Faint flashes of lightning came through the windows, and we heard the echoes of thunder.
On a rainy day like this, I wondered about the slime monsters in the sewers. In Delaron it’s kind of a random easter egg, like the witch’s tiger-cat. The standard quest to hunt slime monsters in the sewers is  always on the bulletin board of the adventurer’s guild. Then there’s the competitive quest generated when the rain starts to flood the sewers and giant slimes crawl out onto the surface. The reward for the standard quest is lackluster and isn’t worth my time, but the competitive quest is another thing. The adventurer’s guild and the city mayor jointly award the 3 groups that collect the most slime cores. And the 1st price  winner with the highest number of slime cores gets a World rank item, money, discounts at every store in Delaron, and tax exemptions.
I continued to watch the rain as they played cards. Usually, before the competitive quest gets generated, all the NPCs start talking about slime  monster attacks happening all over the city. And it becomes the murmur of the city. I haven’t heard anything like that yet. Maybe if it rains  for 2 or 3 days straight…

I was getting bored watching them play cards. It’s boring.
I got behind Otto and kissed his neck. “Let’s go upstairs.” I hotly whispered into his ear.
“But I’m wining.” He complained.
“And I’m not,” I said. “I want to win too.” I ran my hands over his chest.
Nikola, who was also losing, said, “Should we go upstairs too?” At her boys.
“You can’t quit,” Terrie said. She was winning in cards.
“I’m getting bored, Terrie,” Theo said. “Can’t we do something else?”
“No, I said I’d be in the restaurant. I forgot to give them our room number.” She said.
“Who?” Theo asked.
“The boys we met yesterday.” She shyly said.
“Why would they come here? You already got their experience points.” He said.
“Well, that’s… Let’s not talk about it now. I’ll tell you guys later.” She said.
I didn’t know what they were talking about, so I continued to caress  Otto. Sterling put his cards down, caressed Otto’s leg, and, leaning into his ears, said, “Come on, Otto, Let’s go upstairs. I’m feeling it  too.”
“You don’t care because you’re losing.” He looked at the cards in his hand. He was sure he could beat them all.
“And that woman interrupted us in the morning,” Sterling said.
“Hmm.” Otto looked at Sterling and then at his cards. “After this game.” He said.
“No,” I said. “This game just started. You’ll go on forever.” And bit his neck.
“Hey.” He said.
“Guys, take it to your room,” Halit said.
“Yeah, let’s take it to our room,” I said. Otto rolled his eyes.
Under the table, Sterling moved his hand up Otto’s thigh and caressed his crotch. Otto tried to hold a poker face and looked at Sterling. Sterling smiled and whispered, “You already won.” Otto had no chance  after Sterling started caressing his crotch and dripping his sweat  cinnamon voice in his ear. An erection was coming on…
“Okay, I’m quitting.” Otto put his cards on the table and got up.

“Oh.” He surprised me, and I backed away. Since my arms were around him,  he almost pulled me up. Sterling and I exchanged eye contact and smiled.
“Yeah, I’m quitting too. Let’s go upstairs, guys.” Nikola said.
“No, I want to keep playing,” Halit said. Nikola yanked his cards out of his hands and threw them on the table. “Hey!” He clenched his jaw.  Paying no mind to his emotions, Nikola put her arms under his legs and picked him up prince (princess) style. “Nikola!” He complained as he grabbed her shoulder for balance.
“You guys too. Come on.” She told Dixon, Woodie, and Garth. Then she carried him away, prince-style.
Since I wasn’t a martial, all I could do was grab hold of both their  hands and pull. But they obediently followed me up the stairs.

I started stripping while Otto and Sterling made out.
“Hey, you guys strip too,” I told them as I pulled down my panties and exposed my pubes.
Sterling yanked off Otto’s shirt and pushed him down on the bed. They collapsed on the bed with Sterling on top. “You’re being aggressive  today,” Otto said.
“You don’t like it?”
Otto shrugged. “I like everything about you.” Sterling smiled and kissed his neck. “Aw.” Otto groaned. Slowly he kissed lower and lower.
I came up from behind and slapped Sterling in the ass. “Ew.” He looked back at me.
“Take off your clothes too.” They were making me feel like the 3rd wheel, and I didn’t like it.
“Oh, okay.” He rose up and took off his shirt. And while he did, I jumped on the bed and planted my lips on Otto’s. One of his hands fondled my ass while his other hand caressed Sterling’s thigh. As I kissed him, my hand worked on unbuttoning his pants and unzipping him. Sterling pulled Otto’s pants and underwear off. And I started giving him a handjob as Sterling took off his own pants and underwear.
Otto broke our kiss and propped himself up on the bed as I continued to  stroke his dick. I gently held onto his dick and moved with it as he  slid his ass over the sheets to rest his back against the headboard. I took my hand off his dick only to spit on it and wrap it around his dick again. He hardened in my hand. I enjoyed the feeling of the fleshy human hardness on my hand as I once again stuck my tongue in his mouth. Our tongues entwined. I felt Sterling’s hand on my ass and Otto’s hands  on my boobs. Sterling’s lips fell on my shoulders as one of his hands wrapped around mine, and we stroked him together.
Otto pushed on my shoulder and broke our kiss to ask, “Do you want to take us both in your pussy?”
“Yeah, you can go first today since you’re a winner.” I teased.
“No.” He shook his head. “I mean, at the same time.”
Is he talking about double vaginal? “You want to be inside my vagina simultaneously with your brother?”
“Yeah.” He nodded.
I looked down at big dick number 1 in my hand. Then I turned my head and  looked at big dick number 2. I looked straight into Otto’s eyes and  said, “No.”
“Why not?” The man with the manly dick asked innocently. “Don’t girls like that? Don’t they always want to do that?”
Maybe martials, they have tough bodies, they can handle it. I’m a magician, my body isn’t that tough, physical combat isn’t my forte; I’ll  break. He’s innocently asking me if I’ll just lay there while they smash my tender body. Do they take me for an idiot?
“No, don’t say stupid things. You guys can take turns. And you’re going first.” I said and climbed on top of him while pushing Sterling’s hand  away. Squatting on the bed with one hand on his shoulder, I adjusted myself, so I could rub his dickhead on my labia.
“Mm.” I heard him grunt, and I stared into his eyes. Just the touch of my wet flesh made his body tighten and sent flickers of pleasure through his body.
I smiled confidently and lowered my body. But I couldn’t keep my cool, my eyes turned doey, and my mouth hung open as his manly dick penetrated me. “Aaww.” I moaned as I slid down on his dick. He did a good job  filling up my wet pussy. “Oh god, yes,” I said and started humping him. Thrusting my hips on him as I pleased, I clenched my fingers around his hair and stuck my tongue in his mouth. I felt his hand on my ass, helping me fuck him harder. Sterling stood up on the bed, and we felt  his gorgeous peen poking our faces. We stopped kissing so we could use  our tongues to please his dick. His fingers ran through our hairs as we  slid our tongues on his dick.
Otto kissed his balls and said, “Sterling, move for a second. I’m going to make it better.” And Sterling moved aside.
Better? I wondered as Otto got a tighter hold of my ass, adjusted his ass, and pushed me down on my back. He gave me a long and deep thrust as he pushed me down. Everything happened in one flowing motion that I groaned, “Oh, goddess!”
He thrust hard and deep inside me while his face hovered over mine. I grabbed his hair, ready to pull him in for a kiss, when he turned his head and said, “Okay, now you don’t have to stand on the shaky bed.”
“Right, thanks,” Sterling said as he came down to his knees.
How hard he was pounding me, it was a very shaky bed indeed.
Sterling got on his knees and put his dick on my face, and Otto started sucking it. Then I thought of something better. “Wait!” I put my feet on his hips. “Stop for a second. Stop. Stop.” I said till he stopped.
“What?” He asked.
“Sterling will like this,” I said. “Get up for a second. Give Sterling enough room to sit on my chest.”
“What, you want him to sit on your chest?” Otto asked as he sat up, still keeping his dick inside me.
“No, don’t actually sit,” I said. “Put your leg over me and your dick between my breasts.”
Showing his back to Otto, he put his leg over my body and got his hard dick between my chest. “Like this?”
“Yeah. You’ll like this.” I said and squeezed my breasts together. Otto started to hump me gently. I spit on Sterling’s dick to get it wet and  then rubbed my breasts on him.
“Ow.” He moaned.
“Yeah.” I smiled as I moved my chest.
Otto started humping me harder, which shook my body, so I only needed to squeeze his dick with my breasts, and the strokes came naturally. But as Otto picked up the pace, it became harder to hold on to my breasts. So I said, “Grab my breasts, Sterling. Squeeze them together on your dick.” As soon as he grabbed my breasts, I was happy to let go. I threw my head back and cummed on Otto’s dick. “Eeww.” My legs shook. I was holding that one in. Not long after my orgasm, Otto had his. He stopped humping, and I felt his dick pulse as he spurted his cum.
After he was done, and after I was well done, Sterling, who was shaking his hips on my tits, said, “I’m cumming.”
I looked up at him and said, “Come in my mouth, honey.” Before opening my mouth and sticking my tongue out.

He quickly moved his dick in my mouth and moaned, “Aw.” As he ejaculated thick cum.
After he was done squirting, I flicked my tongue on the tip to get the last bit and kept him in my mouth till he became soft. Then I laid my head back down and relaxed.
The boys moved their bodies and laid down beside me to cuddle.

As we cuddled, Otto got hard again. I got on my side and pointed my ass at him  so we could do round 2. He did me in the spooning position for round 2. He roughly grabbed onto my waist and hammered away. Sterling watched me moan, and we touched noses and gave each other love eyes and kisses. Otto propped himself up to push me down as he humped me. The amount of  force he put on my waist was kind of painful, but I didn’t complain and  let him do as he wanted. I wanted to be a good girlfriend and give my all to my boyfriends.
Round 2 didn’t last long because Otto’s dick was still sensitive from his first orgasm, and after humping me a little, he was over the edge. He squirted again.
And as he finished up, I looked up at the clock and said, “Let’s take a shower and go for an early dinner. I’m hungry.”

When we went down to the restaurant, Terrie and her boys were still playing cards.
I picked up a plate and gathered my food from the buffet.
“You’re going to eat already?” Terrie asked as I sat down.
“Yeah, I’m hungry,” I said.
“It looked like the rain stopped,” Sterling said.
I looked out the window and said, “Oh, yeah.” I guess no competitive quest then. “Aren’t you guys going to eat?” I was the only one eating.
“I think we’ll wait for everyone to show up,” Otto said.
“Num, num. Okay.”

I finished eating and ordered wine.
Nikola and her crew showed up as I uncorked the first bottle. Nikola was full of smiles.
As soon as Nikola started getting her food, so did everyone else.
I drank wine while they ate.

“Terrie!” Someone I’d never met before showed up at our table. He was wearing a shirt with a feathery collar. He had yellow eyes, black hair, and fair  skin.
Terrie got up from her table and hugged him. “I thought you wouldn’t come.” She smiled. “I wouldn’t have blamed you.”
“No. I would’ve come earlier if it wasn’t for the rain.” He said.
“Ah, right. You could’ve come tomorrow.” Terrie said. Then she looked behind him and added, “It doesn’t look like Len forgave me.”
“Ah, that…” He scratched his head.
Benard, who’d been trying to figure out who his girlfriend was hugging, realized, “You’re the guy from yesterday. The one hiding behind the other taller one.”
“Yeah, guys, meet Wilf Paternoseter?” Terrie was a little unsure, “Am I pronouncing that right? Paternoseter.”
“Close, it’s Paternoster.” He said.
“Noster, right. Okay. Got it. Paternoster.” She smiled. “Guys, this is your new brother.”
“What!?” Both Benard and Theo were surprised.

I had no idea what was going on, so I listened. They talked… And the more they talked, the more I frowned, and the more I frowned, the more  infuriated I became.
I slammed my fist on the table. “You morons…” I said through my grinding teeth. The table became silent instantly, and they looked at me, shocked. Do I need to explain everything to these idiots? Both my teammates are morons. Terrie seemed to have slept with this Wilf guy and  some Len guy. Which was good, but I couldn’t understand why she’d tell  them about the bracelet of eros. Doesn’t she understand spreading such sensitive information could get us unwanted attention? I didn’t tell  Otto about the bracelet till he had already moved in with us. It seems this Len guy now has a grudge against us because he was tricked by the bracelet. While this Wilf guy appears to be cool with it. You can never tell with the bracelet. Love is a fickle thing; sometimes, all it takes is a spark, and sometimes you need a flamethrower. You never  know when the bracelet might spark love, but that doesn’t mean they can just take in any mutt that happens to have low charm resistance. Now  that I think about it, does Nikola tell everyone too? I thought Halit  was a one-time thing, but what if… I took a deep breath.
As my fist shook, I said in the calmest tone I could, “Guys, let’s go out into the patio. We need to talk.” I didn’t want to yell at them in the restaurant.
“But it just stopped raining. The seats are probably wet.” Woodie said.
“Yeah, and it’s still kind of drizzling outside.” Wilf, the new member of our family, said.
“Hehehehe…” I couldn’t help but joylessly laugh. “It wasn’t a request.” I tried to smile. “I’m commanding you as your leader, you stupid… stupid…  I’m going to go out into the patio. And you’re all going to follow me. Or I’m going to have Garth dig all your graves, then I will murder all  of you in your sleep, and Garth will bury you all.” Everyone looked at Garth while I got up and walked out into the patio.

After I left, I imagined Garth saying: “I think we should go out.” Because one by one, they came out into the patio and sat down on the wet chairs. And I went on a long and angry lecture about how the bracelet should be  used, what information they should share, and general common sense! At  least you’d think it’s common sense! How hard is it to understand that you shouldn’t flippantly reveal that you’re basically wearing a World  rank item… Technically a Rare rank, but the point remains.
Halit was smiling through my whole lecture, so I screamed, “What the hell are you smiling about!?” And he looked down at the ground and stopped smiling.
I don’t know what kind of first impression I was making on Wilf, our new family member, but it wasn’t good. He looked too frightened to even  look at me.
But I pushed forward, hoping to burn common sense into their skulls.

***

I thought I did good, and I thought I was being kind by not killing them till the door to our room closed. Then Otto started lecturing me about  my behavior.
I tried to fight back, but Sterling was taking his side too, saying, “It’s good to be honest, Sherrie. You were basically telling them to lie.”
But the demon king, the church, the black widows, the everything! I wanted to scream at them.
“And I wonder what Wilf thinks of you now,” Otto said. “He hasn’t even been in the family for a day, and you yell at him.”
“I wasn’t really yelling at him.” I tried to wiggle out of his accusation.
“Yeah, you were only telling him that he didn’t belong in the family. Despite knowing about the bracelet and how he was tricked, he goes out  of his way to become our family, and you tell him he was Terrie’s mistake.” Otto said.
“Ah, that, but…” So that’s how I ended up sleeping on the couch.
