A double surprise

To Jay and Jaina's surprise, Mazen Mac'Nadir returned back to them within five minutes, holding a couple of parchments and throwing them onto the principal's messy desk. What followed was an explanation to them both about how it should have been possible to build a special container. It was nothing cheap and the materials hard to get by, but with some very rare ores and the right inscription, it should enable to bring in forbidden goods even to Arathor.

After discussing it a bit more, the three decided it was their best guess. Mazen was going to find some design patterns so it should be possible to identify the right containers, but it would take him a while.

To that point they would be required to check each and every imported box or crate what was completely impossible, not to speak about there being different routes how the scrolls could have arrived.

Jaina hinted Jay to have a look at the underground rail station should he start searching them. If they really got brought in from the north, with there being a direct connection to Dun Modan, it sounded promising. She continued that the security was the most lax there and the connection the fastest as well.

As Jay promised Jaina to either go looking there himself or at least relay the information, Mac'Nadir had collected his parchments again and was leaving the office for his studies. Like this Jay rose from his seat as well, only to stop in is tracks and turn back to the Principal.

"Sorry for the question, but I was wondering even as I got tasked to come here…" J.

"What is it?" PJ.

"I was wondering why you're still here. I thought you were absent most of the time…" J.

"Oh, that. There's holidays at the moment so I normally use that time for my second appointment. They are gonna end in two weeks time and lessons at the University will start again. For you as well this time!" PJ.

"Yeah, right…" J.

"We'll have to go there a bit earlier as I got informed they want to conduct another test with you and you certainly need some acclimation time, as well as the minimum equipment. You still got ten day's from tomorrow, all right?" PJ.

Ten days was a lot less than Jay had expected. At the same time the thought of what might have happened if he had taken longer in Redridge crossed his mind.

Still agreeing as it didn't seem like he had any choice in this, Jay promised to be on time and said his goodbyes. It had already gotten quite late by then and Jay still had to find an inn for the night...

As he left the academy's grounds and summoned his horse, Jay was already set to ride back to the trade district and see if Allison had some room for him. But just as he saddled up, seeing one of the shady guys he had spotted some time back in the slaughtered Lamb made him think of Aletta.

Like this he decided to first check on her and see if she found out more.

The situation with the cultists was still far from over, even if some of their support was bound to cease after the following day's meeting. While speculating about how this all could be connected, Jay had passed the park and was riding down the slope towards the canals.

Suddenly, just as he reached the turn towards the shady area where the Slaughtered Lamb was located, he got the feeling of being watched again. It was similar to the one he had in Stillwater, but he was sure it couldn't be Xayah.

Thinking about it for a bit, Jay remembered that Lina and Nara had been following him some time back as well. To that time he had been completely oblivious, so possibly his raised skills could give them away by then. Either way, there was nothing he could do other than trying to slip away and so sped up his mount.

At about half of the distance to the inn on his path, Jay dismissed his horse to step into a side alley and even activated (Hide). Perfectly camouflaged he traveled the rest of the distance and only ended his skills when he stood next to the stairs leading up into the Slaughtered Lamb and had checked his surroundings.

Aletta was still at work there when Jay entered the dimly lit pub. She directly spotted him and no longer even hid her connection to him when she directly walked over.

The dark haired woman didn't show just how they were connected though as quite a lot eyes were glued onto her as she walked over. Then she asked Jay to follow her and led him through the surprisingly full hall to a free table in the back. After Jay took a seat she bent down to him a bit.

"I'm glad you're back safe and right on time. I'll be back with the menu in a minute…" A.

He couldn't make much of her cryptic remark but guessed that she and Zardeth might have found out more. The smile she had given him had told Jay that she really was happy he got back and that it wasn't something bad at least.

Instead of thinking about what he'd learn later either way he glance through the pub and wondered where all those shady looking people hid all day and why more than half of them seemed already a little drunk at this time of the day. It still hadn't even been dinner time, though not much was missing.

Right as she had told him, Aletta came back a minute later and reached Jay a wooden board with a cheap parchment clipped onto it. She didn't say anything and just visibly looked at the reached over menu and then left for the next table.

Jay looked at the menu and began to read. Not the menu though but the small piece of paper Aletta had affixed under it and which Jay had directly found. There wasn't much written on it though, only "Our friend is absent - talk after shift, ok?" and a scribbled heart. Jay looked up from the board in his hands and over to Aletta, nodding as she looked over as well.

It seemed he'd have to spend the evening in this shady pub…

Some minutes later Aletta came back to Jay's table with a beer. He looked a bit surprised so she commented that she ordered one for him as it was probably the only thing there that suited his taste. The wine they sold was very cheap she whispered.

Jay gave back the menu and asked her to pick his dinner as well to what she smiled and left again.

It took about half an hour and one more beer in the meantime for his dinner to arrive, but therefore it had been surprisingly tasty. Though it was a simple meat dish, the sauce was well balanced and the meat perfectly roasted. After he was done Jay thought about asking what kind it had been but refrained not to regret it later on. When Aletta later came back to collect his plate and bring another drink, Jay instead asked how long her shift went.

With a grin she asked if he already wanted some dessert. But then she continued that she was done about when he finished his mug. Tempted to one-shot it, Jay leaned back and only smiled while nodding.

There was no asking needed if he got some room for a dessert like her. The question was normally the other way around in his case...

Like she had said, twenty minutes later Aletta came back without her waitress apron, holding a small mug instead and took a seat next to Jay. They had some leisure small talk about when he had arrived and so on while finishing their beverages. Once done, she rose up and beckoned Jay to follow her.

The moment they had reached her small room and closed the door, Aletta nearly jumped at Jay and went in for a deep kiss. Seemingly having held back for too long, she needed some time for her demeanor to calm down. Once it settled, she straightened her plain dress and coughed before excusing herself and stating that she should give her report first.

How it seemed, the cult was going to hold some kind of great gathering in only eight days time. Zardeth had gotten an invitation a few days ago, but other than that, they hadn't come across more information. All they learned was that it would be held in an old cemetery at night and that it would be their next step on their path.

They all knew this didn't mean anything good and that probably more offerings were included in all of this. So since then the two of them had tried to find a way for Aletta to join the mage there, but even with her having been taken up again they were still on that task.

If they didn't manage in the coming days, Zardeth would take her with him as his company.

Other than that she hadn't much to report. The two of them had been gathering information and made a list of names they were either sure of or suspected them to be affiliated with the cult. As he was on business, Zardeth had told Aletta to report Jay the moment she found him, but gladly he had done so the other way around.

They would all have to meet early the day of the gathering at last so they could talk through their plan before the scheduled meeting at ten pm.

Jay promised to meet up with them in the basement and asked if he was required to help with the preparations. Aletta only shook her head and answered that until then all the preparations would be finished.

With the business part done she quickly stated that she had acquired not only an alchemy set from the gold Jay left her, but also already the corresponding skill. When Jay told her that she seemed to have a really high aptitude for it and congratulated her, she smiled wholeheartedly to his praise.

A moment later she leaned closer to him as they were already seated next to each other on the bed and whispered with a not only slightly seductive voice right into his ear:

"Don't I deserve some kind of gratification for that?" A.

There was no question what she had meant with that, even less as she leaned in again and demanded Jay's lips. He gladly answered her action and the two of them shared a deep kiss, gradually leaning back onto the bed and their hands sliding over each others bodies.

Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door.

Not really startled but still surprised the two of them looked at each other and then Aletta went to the door. The moment she opened it, Jay could see a small woman standing in front of it that without wait stepped around Aletta and into the room, blurting out "Eeh? Mast… no, Jay!"

"You know her?" A.

The one who had slipped into Aletta's room was no one else but Sira. She had rushed over to Jay and stood right before him at the bed, looking back and forth between him and the dark haired woman still standing at the door and waiting for an answer.

"Yeah, this is Sira, though I have no idea what she's doing here…" J.

Sira seemed oblivious to his remark and kept her pondering expression. At least Aletta had by then closed the door and came walking back.

"Um, is she a slave of yours as well?" S.

"No!" J. / "Yes!" A.

Both had answered her question at the same time, ending Sira in complete irritation. Aletta though had a slightly disappointed look on her face that seemingly didn't get missed by Sira as well. And before Jay could start to explain things to her properly, Aletta had already started to do so.

After her short narration of what happened, Sira was of the same opinion within minutes: In the two women's eyes they were both his slaves and stated that with a slight grin on their faces.

"I guess you need to serve our master better if he thinks of you as not being his…" S.

"Yeah, you're right. Let's serve him properly tonight!" A.

At first baffled, Jay couldn't help but grin at the two beauties little play. He knew exactly what was coming, even before they both got to their knees and started unbuttoning his pants.

Not once did one of them cease eye contact, even when Aletta had taken the tip of his manhood in her mouth or Sira started to lick it's shaft. Within seconds it grew to full mast as the two cuties kept working on it.

They kept alternating their jobs for a few times until Sira beckoned Aletta to go to the next step. Like this the taller one climbed onto Jay's lap and carefully lowered herself, taking him slowly and carefully in as she had already been dripping wet.

Though she was out of sight with this, Jay felt Sira still working on his jewels below Aletta, even as she started to hump him in rhythmical movements. As he leaned a bit forwards to not stem on his arms and groped Aletta's chest instead, Jay saw Sira pleasuring herself beneath them. With his skills active it didn't take long until the former had reached her peak and the two women switched places. As Sira lowered herself on Jay's pole in a reverse cowboy position, Jay felt the distinct difference between the two.

While Aletta still felt very tight though at the same time slightly rough, Sira was even a notch tighter while at the same time more squishy. Jay wouldn't dare to rate them and only relished in the sightly changed feeling. Sira all the while had begun to swing her hips more eagerly, trying to bring Jay to his limit as well but of course failed in this.

A few minutes after she had started to rock her hips, Sira hit her own limit and climaxed hard on Jay while Aletta still kept caressing his balls.

Then it was time to switch positions again when the two women switched places. This time Jay had to move though as Aletta had risen from the floor and bent over onto the small table opposite to the bed.

Jay didn't need to be asked and got up from the bed as well, positioning himself right behind her to impale the woman anew. At the same time Sira climbed onto the table as well, sitting down right in front of Aletta, only to spread her legs wide. Then she grabbed some of latters dark hair and pushed her head down into her own crotch. The small Hobgoblin had not really gotten much experience, but already lost most of her inhibitions when it came to those things…

While Jay kept pounding Aletta harder and harder by the minute, she kept eating out Sira until short before he reached his limit. He grabbed the short girls hand that was still gripping some of Aletta's hair and thanks to his dexterity managed to pull off her ring in one go.

Just as Aletta perked up with a loud "Ehh?" as she noticed she had been eating out a green-skin the whole time, Jay blasted his huge, till then held back load inside her. At the same time, even though she got baffled so much a second ago she climaxed as well, making her legs quiver and nearly giving in. Jay had to support her a bit by grabbing her hips to both sides and once she calmed down again she looked back over her shoulder.

"Well, that was surprising… both I mean…" A.
