NOVEL NEXT 1.75 – Camping
The vines released Maple, and even they seemed to slither away full of shame over what'd happened. Or maybe, to go have their own existential crisis. What kind of enlightenment could a plant glean from such an experience?
Maple felt like crying, she was so full of shame and embarrassment. She'd let a plant fuck her—and everyone saw. Everyone except Dort, but that didn't help much. She couldn't even get dressed right away because she was so filthy and sticky. She was exposed, her pants were off, and her shirt pulled up.
Emma looked down at her and wiggled her eyebrows. Fun camping trip, huh? She helped her up and washed the cum and dirt off her.
"Sorry..."
Emma tilted her head in confusion. Maple's voice quavered.
"I—I fucked a plant. Sorry."
She didn't know who to apologize to for her sins, so she apologized to Emma. Emma didn't really get it, and gave her a reassuring thumbs up and head pat. Then a hug.
Maple rejoined the others once she was dressed, half-hoping they would chastise her properly. Instead, Sylla looked as full of shame as she did, and she apologized.
"I thought I heard something from my tent, so I went to investigate. I didn't mean to spy..."
"That's right, you're all perverts. Especially you, Horny Tree Girl. You're corrupting my teammates. And what do you have to say for yourself, Captain Pervert? Letting our client terrorize that poor plant. You should be ashamed of yourselves."
Maple winced, but Alas might literally be getting off from chastising them. Shari's nickname was given new meaning, and Maple hoped it didn't stick. Thera thought about it, and then smiled.
"I thought it was fun. Don't embarrass us too much though—you might cum yourself."
Alas covered her mouth and looked away. Her expressions were usually pretty neutral, stoic. For once, her tone was shy.
"You all really saw that?"
"Hah, so it is true. And Sylly here likes being a voyeur. We're all learning something about each other."
Thera and Emma were both proud of the experience. Sylla covered her own face. Thera had left Maple's preferences unspoken, but she took the hit anyway.
Thera led them to the campfire and threw some more wood on. She explained her horny-zone theory, and Sylla and Alas both agreed it seemed likely. Emma did too, but she may also be 'built differently', as Thera put it. Dort remained asleep, luckily. Maple didn't want to be there if they explained everything that happened to him.
They didn't reprimand her though. They didn't even really seem to look at her very differently. It was just a quick conversation before they each returned to their tents, so Maple stopped them before they did. Better to get clarification before Dort or anyone else was present.
"Wait, but...It attacked me first, and I kind of let it, but...you guys don't think that was weird of me?"
"Sure it was. You're a very weird and horny girl, Maple. Be ashamed."
Alas nodded to her. She had what Maple wanted. Maple shook her head.
"I mean, like, immoral though? Or..."
She felt like they'd all leave her because of it. She hadn't meant to let it do that. It'd been an impulse. A morbid curiosity. But then it'd felt good, and...
The others kind of shrugged, and Thera answered her.
"It kind of seemed to be enjoying it itself, y'know? Which was an odd thing to experience, by the way. Never thought I'd get to see what being a plant was like. Or a slime, for that matter."
Emma grinned, happy to share a glimpse of her experience. Maple was used to that sensation from experiencing it dozens of times, but Emma was quite different from a human. Luckily, the adventurers all took the experience fairly well. Sylla smiled kindly.
"I don't think you need to worry about it too much, Maple. And we won't tell anyone, right?"
"Oh, I'm telling all my friends. Be ashamed regardless, but is it really that different from Thera's toys made of dead trees?"
It obviously was different, Maple thought? They didn't seem to care, though, and then Thera was laughing and defending herself.
"What friends? That's just us!"
So the ordeal ended. Thera and Sylla stayed out to change shifts, and the rest returned to their tents. Maple sighed with Emma in her arms. They were cuddling naked, and just enjoying the alone time and chance to do that. She ran her fingers through the thick noodles that made up Emma's hair.
"What a weird day. Again. We have a lot of those, huh?"
Emma smiled and nodded, nuzzling up against Maple's chest. She was kind of horny again, believe it or not. Shocking, she knew, but Emma was pressing up against her, and—
The tent flap burst open, and Maple tried to cover herself. She let out a breath when she saw it was just Thera. She ducked her head in.
"You two still looking for some company?"
Emma nodded, ecstatic. Maple more hesitantly, but she scooted over and Thera crowded into the tent with them.
"You don't need to rest?"
"Nah, I was thinking about it. Danger can come at any time, right? But how often can we cum? There's only so many chances, so let's find out, right?"
Maple laughed at the logic, but had to agree. Thera got naked with them, and they had their fun. Maple finally got to savor Thera's body fully this time, and do so with her girlfriend at that. They did try to be quiet, but Alas threw a rock at their tent and shushed them at one point during her night shift. They giggled guiltily over that, and did their best to quiet down. They weren't sure whether or not she'd actually heard anything, or if she was just being Alas.
Afterward, they fell asleep cuddling each other. Maple wrapped her arms around Thera from behind, spooning her, while Emma covered them both, almost like a blanket.
It was—nice.
