Chapter 30 – Two Sides of the Same Coin ❤❤❤

Asterios headed towards the outer circle of the encampment. He had to find a place to stay for the time that Miria would be away. Since she wasn’t sure how long her business would take, he preferred to remain around the dungeon just in case she would get done with it quite fast.

He arrived in the sea of tents and immediately spotted a small gathering somewhere in the middle of the road. The familiar Martial Artist was visible through the crowd and he could spot a few people from the Guild who were in robes, most likely all kinds of healers taking care of the poisoned Mage. There was nothing he could help with there so Asterios walked to search for a tent serving as an inn or something like that.

There were a few of them placed around, almost all completely full, as expected. Fortunately, he managed to find a free spot in a place that provided just a bit of space to lay down on a mattress. It was enough. He didn’t want to distract Miria to get their stuff so Ast was glad that they had those beddings ready.

After a calm night, he decided to pay a visit to the Guild’s tent and cash on some of the cores. He would leave one or two of each monster in his collection, just in case they could come useful in summoning or other helpful things. 

The King Scorpion crystals were obviously worth the most. With all they gathered yesterday, the guild paid him 7 silver coins, which was quite a good amount of cash for focusing on training instead of hunting down as many monsters as they could. It was all thanks to the scorpions as, without them, they would have received only 3 coins.

Asterios spent half a day familiarizing himself more with the guide they received from Ven in preparation for their future attempts at lower floors of the dungeon. He also thought a lot about their performance yesterday and what should be their next step in terms of summoning. Prolonging that any longer was unnecessary. He got a lot of data from those few fights they entered. 

But, he wanted to hear Miria’s opinion first, so he noted down his observations and suggestions, and decided to consult her after she came back. She was the one who fought directly so she might have different remarks regarding what they should improve first. 

He thought about trying to summon another entity that would fight alongside her. The battle with scorpions went well, but it was clear as a day that Miria alone already had a bit of an issue with three enemies spread around while needing to protect other people. Even if they were alone, more than 3 or 4 decently strong enemies would start giving her trouble and both of them didn’t want to risk anything when they had a way to strengthen their party with another member.

Getting a little stiff from just sitting or lying down all the time, he decided to stretch his bones a bit before going to sleep. Supposedly, there were Clockwork Mushrooms growing not that far to the east from the encampment, so it was a good chance to try and get some while he was at it.

Asterios wandered through the forest quite confidently but never dropping his guard and lowering his focus. There were no sightings of any dangerous beasts or monsters in the vicinity of the dungeon as its aura often scared them away, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

After two hours he managed to get three mushrooms. Nothing unexpected. He prepared himself to not find even a single one with so many adventures coming and going from the camp, but it looked like a little bit of luck was on his side tonight.

As he was standing up from picking the fourth one near a tree, a familiar feeling of a portal opening surfaced behind his back. 

*THUMP*

Before he could turn around though, the obvious person slammed against his back and two furry hands appeared on his chest, hugging him very tightly. Miria’s fingers grasped his vest with such strength she almost tore holes in it.

“Master… Please… Order me to return to my realm… And to not come for a few days… I really—”

“Why?”

He felt a shudder after his question. Miria’s words were very weak and sounded tired or uncomfortable. Her heart was racing so fast he could feel its pounding through his back like a war drum moments before a valiant charge. Asterios started wondering if she perhaps got sick and didn’t want to risk him joining her, but she wouldn’t come here in the first place if that was the case.

The grip on his chest tightened even more. Miria’s nails started pressing against his skin through the material.

“I… I can’t hold it back… It’s so much worse than in the past… Please… Use our contract to order me to stay away! I can’t let you see me like this!”

He started noticing how hot her body and breath were. A certain possibility started surfacing in Ast’s mind. “You can’t let me see you like what?”

Another shiver. It was like his voice was the reason behind them.

“Please… Just… I can’t… I’m like a completely different person when I’m—”

“In heat?”

Silence. There was no jolt this time. Asterios mustered all his strength to loosen Miria’s hold on his chest and barely managed to turn himself around to face her. He instantly realized he was right. 

Miria’s face was completely flushed, her breathing was hot, shallow and slightly ragged and she was using her mouth to faintly gasp for air. Her eyes were almost on the verge of tears, with a hazy and distant gaze.

The moment he finished turning around, she started slowly closing the distance between their faces, showing off the fangs in her open mouth. Their lips soon connected. She started licking and sucking on his mouth from all sides before trying to greedily push her tongue inside.

Before she did that, a bit of clarity returned to her eyes and she hastily withdrew herself, pushing Asterios away with her hands, which moved onto his shoulders. She stayed with her arms extended, panting from the previous action.

“I’m sorry… It never was this strong… Not even the last time...”

“Last time?”

Miria averted her gaze but still kept stealing glances at him. “During our training…”

Asterios finally connected all the dots after recalling Miria’s sudden change of behaviour yesterday. 

"Full moon?"

Miria nodded hesitantly.

Her sudden switch in behaviour was exactly the same as two weeks ago when they were in the middle of their training. Miria just announced one day that she had to take care of something for two days and that she would train at home. She must have left in anticipation of the incoming moon phase, which happened fortnightly in Ast’s realm.

“We Pantherkin go into heat every full moon… But it’s not that bad... I was always able to deal with it myself. Just spending a day or two alone is enough for our kind. But… after Master accepted me as his mate... And then that kiss in the dungeon… It’s just… I can’t get rid of the itching with just fingers...”

“And why are you letting yourself go through so much pain when you do have a mate? Why are you holding back so much? Am I not good enough?” he asked concernedly.

Miria frantically shook her head. “NO! It’s not like that! It’s just… I’m scared…”

Asterios sighed and swatted her arms away in the moment of her distraction, pulling himself close to her again.

“Of what?”

She embraced his back and just kept staring at Ast’s face for a moment, puffing soft and shallow breaths at him. “I’m… not like usual… not myself… It’s not me when I stop holding it back… You’d hate that side of me… I’m anything but shy, cute and timid… I’m not the Miria that you kno—MHN?!”

He had enough of her silly excuses and sealed Miria’s lips, surprising her a lot. For some time already, his mind was getting filled with a myriad of lewd thoughts from her through their connection as Miria was in no state to properly control what was getting through and what wasn't. He knew exactly what she meant by not being herself as most of those thoughts showed her yearning for quite the rough affection. It naturally was starting to partially affect his mood too.

After parting, he placed both of his hands on her cheeks, which made Miria shiver from the touch, and leaned their foreheads against each other while staring straight into her deep black eyes.

“Now, listen here. First of all, I’m your master. It’s my full responsibility to take care of whatever needs you may have. And if that wasn’t enough already, I’m now also your mate. By choice. You have not even the slightest hint of a reason to go through all of this alone. What I hate is the fact that you are still doing so. If you are worried about me answering your feelings and willing to do this stuff with you only out of obligation, then don't,” he spoke in a stern tone, slowly, so that she could understand the weight of his words.

“But…”

It still didn’t work. Aware of Miria’s true wishes, he spun them around and pushed her back against the tree which was behind him, evoking a soundly moan from the panthergirl. He leaned to her ear.

“There’s no way that I would hate learning about a new side of the girl I like,” he whispered to it sensually, sending a wave of shivers through her whole body. He raised her chin to match their gazes again. “So, are you finally going to stop or do I have to use an order to make you be honest with yourself?”

She instantly went for his lips as her answer. Miria’s greedy tongue dived straight into Ast’s mouth and he did not resist, letting the forceful invader make its way inside to invite his own tongue for a wild dance. They exchanged deep kisses for over three minutes, panting and gasping for air when they started running out of it during their heated exchange.

Miria let go of her worries completely. There was nothing but Asterios in her mind now. The man who summoned her into this beautiful world. The man who let her stay by his side to explore it. The man who risked his own life to save her and the man who finally accepted her feelings wholeheartedly. Her mate for life. She started to feel stupid for her previous behaviour.

She released his lips from her relentless assault and pulled Asterios into a hug as close as she could; her whole body was shaking from happiness. It was not possible for her to go back now. She licked his earlobe seductively while running her hands over his muscular back.

“Masteeeeeeeeeer… I love you so much… I’m… I’m at my limit after what you said… Can we do it here?” She kept speaking to it while kissing and biting on Ast’s ear.

She was fully aware that they were in the middle of the forest which was not that far from the encampment around the dungeon, but the itch down there was starting to get really painful when she stopped holding back.

“Nyaaaaaaaaahn~!”

Ast’s hand plopped onto her head and started affectionately caressing her now even more sensitive ears, making her release a long moan of pleasure. He brought Miria back in front of him and smiled at her.

“How can I say no when you are like this? Don’t worry and just watch.” 

He sensed her slight distress over their location and decided to act on it. Miria let him go and leaned over the tree while staring intently at Ast’s figure, doing her best not to jump at him instantly. He walked to the other side of the tree and drew a rune consisting of six strokes, which looked like a house with an X inside. Soon after, the air around five meters from their position started shimmering like in a hot desert.

“What’s that?”

“Alcove of Serenity. No sounds will escape this zone. We don’t want anyone interrupting us, right?”

Miria’s eyes widened. Such a useful spell. With it, they could mate as hard as they wanted and no one would hear anything. She immediately pushed herself off the tree and crashed against Ast’s chest, starting to kiss and lick his neck.

He caught her and chuckled. “Hahaha, wait, wait! There’s one more thing!”

She reluctantly slowed down but stayed in his embrace. “What else? I really need it now… I’ve been holding back for over a day… It’s like a waterfall down there… My whole bed is so soaked that I won’t be able to sleep in it for a week...”

Ast's eyes widened seeing Miria be so straightforward. He shook his head to clear his thoughts before he got lost in his own fantasies. The ones flooding his mind from Miria’s side were already enough. And they were quickly increasing in number.

“I have no idea if our races are compatible or not… but just in case they are… I want to put a contraceptive sigil on you… Are you okay with that?” he properly explained his plan.

Miria only just now realized that she could get pregnant if they actually had sex and a little bit of her usual, shy nature found its way back through the powerful yearning. She hid her face in his collarbone as the images of her having Ast’s babies started appearing in her mind.

“Y-ye-yes, please…” she whispered barely audible words.

He stroked her head, completely aware of her wild imagination. “Good. Just so that we are in the clear, I don’t dislike that idea completely, but so soon it would be bad if—nguh?!”

A sudden bite on his neck made Asterios stop and look down. He was met with completely infatuated eyes of Miria staring right back at him as her fangs pulled his flesh just barely not strong enough to cause any injuries. He was the one to shiver this time. She let go of his neck and started raining kisses on the spot.

“Master~ If you keep saying things like that any longer… I will really lose it~♪” she said in an extremely seductive tone.

Asterios quickly moved his hand to Miria’s belly and drew the rune before things escalated beyond his control. If Miria really stopped holding back, he wouldn’t be able to even lift a finger against her.

She giggled and released a soft moan as he stroked her tummy. Asterios brought his hand back to brush her cute lips and she started licking his thumb.

“It’s time to lose it then,” he exclaimed with a smile.

Miria’s eyes sparkled and she pushed him away. Making some space in between them, she grabbed her short vest and pulled it off over her head in one swift motion. Two bountiful peaks bathed in the silver moonlight jiggled right in front of Ast’s eyes. Before her top managed to fall to the ground, she already slid off her hot-pants alongside her panties and jumped out of them in a flash.

A  beautiful and completely naked girl stood in front of Asterios in all her glory. The sight was so amazing that he froze for a moment, admiring the perfectly toned body from all the physical exercise. If he had to use only one word to describe her, no other one than perfect would be fitting. Miria’s womanly charms, which were not too big in her case, just accentuated the godly figure. The only foreign thing in this image was a small heart-shaped sigil glowing in crimson hues under her belly.

Even though Miria didn’t hide her breasts or nether regions, she used both hands to cover the area just above her girly parts, squeezing her considerable peaks together in the process. She was ready to pounce on him, yet she was still subconsciously worried about that little patch of fur. He shook his head with a smile and approached her, placing his own hand on Miria’s slim tummy.

“I  have one more thing to say.” 

He slowly moved it down, brushing over her smooth skin, evoking a long sigh from Miria. His fingers dived under hers and sank into the silky bush. Asterios moved his mouth close to her ear.

“This…” he whispered while twirling the cute bush, “just adds to how erotic you look…”

Miria’s ears twitched furiously and her heart skipped a beat as the very last of her insecurities vanished. She spun around and bent herself forward, placing one of her furry hands on the tree and using the other one to spread her secret place along with her legs, allowing Asterios to see it clearly. 

The heat inside her precious place was so intense he could spot little clouds of steam rising from the arousing crevice and countless droplets of love juices dripping down Miria’s legs, stopping at the fur under her knees. The chilliness of the night perfectly supported this image. She glanced at him over her shoulder, locking their eyes.

No words were necessary. Just Miria’s pleading gaze was enough. Asterios hastily got rid of his clothing in a similar way to her, making sure to give Miria a good show of his body. The very moment his erect penis sprung into the open air, her eyes instantly locked on the rock-hard pole.

Asterios chuckled seeing that he lost her attention and moved closer, placing his hand on Miria’s plump butt and aiming the tip of his cock at her pink flower with the other one. He would love to take it slow with her, for both their first times, but from all the thoughts he was receiving from Miria, he was completely aware it wouldn't be possible in her current predicament. She would pounce on him the moment he hesitated even a little bit.

“Nhhhnnnnnn~” Feeling his glans come into contact with her soft folds, she released a long sigh.

“Here I come then.”

“Yesss! Please, don't hold back! I really need it! Please, Masteeeeer!”

He complied with her wishes instantly and began slowly inserting his penis into the hot tunnel. The very moment Ast’s glans were swallowed by Miria’s lower lips, she moved the hand holding her labia to join the one on the tree and pushed herself off it, shoving his whole cock into her yearning cave in one go.

“Nghhhhhhhyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn~!” she screamed in pleasure, throwing her head to the back.

Asterios grunted at the sudden movement as Miria’s soft bottom slapped against his waist. He didn’t even feel going through her hymen with how hard and fast she gulped his cock down up to the very base. Her whole body started spasming and he noticed Miria’s legs going limp so he quickly hugged her waist with his arms. She orgasmed just from taking him in, that’s how sensitive she was from the whole day of holding back.

“Maaaashterrr~!” 

She was already looking back at him while gasping for air. Asterios knew exactly what she wanted and pulled his hips back, just to thrust them forward with all the strength he had. He began relentlessly pistoning Miria’s blazing hot, tight tunnel. 

A girl’s first time was supposed to be slow, painful and awkward, but here he was, hammering Miria’s recently deflowered pussy like a blacksmith raining down his tool onto the sturdy metal on the anvil, making her moan into the sky with each slap.

“Aaaahnnn… Nyaaaaahaaaan… Ahhh… Ahhh… Yeeeees… Harder… Nyaaaahhnnn... Nyaaaahnn…”

Even with that, she begged him for more. It was surreal. Unthinkable. But it was not the time to ponder over logic. Asterios fully focused on exploring Miria’s coiling insides. Her internal walls pressured his penis each time he brought his hips back, making it almost plop out of her. Then, he pierced through them again, sending his waist forward, scraping over the uneven surface of her vagina and spreading the tight tunnel with his glans.

“Nyaahnnn… Mooooree… Ahnn… Master’s cock… is soo goood… Ravage my pussy… pleasssseeeeeeee...” 

Wet, sloshing sounds accompanied the rhythmic slapping of flesh against flesh. The amount of love juices that were spurting out of Miria’s love nest was immense, splashing onto Ast’s abdomen with each powerful slam, dripping onto the ground from the place where they were connected. From what he knew, it definitely couldn't be considered normal. It was pointless to compare Miria to Human girls.

Asterios knew she was feeling as good as him, but he wanted to give her more. He wanted to really fulfil her wishes of doing her so hard that she wouldn’t be able to walk straight for a whole day. That’s what he got from her mind at one point. To achieve that, he decided to incorporate a new tactic into this battle.

As he kept drilling his hard cock into Miria’s leaking honeypot, he moved one of his hands to the starting point of the black, fluffy rope dancing wildly in front of his eyes. He pushed his index finger against Miria’s skin and twirled her beautiful tail around his whole forearm.

“Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahnnnnnnnnnnn~! Myyyy taaaaaaail~!”

The moment he gently gripped the soft strand of fur, Miria released another loud scream and her pussy convulsed in response, clenching down on his dick even more. Another wave of love nectar squirted from her lower lips as her whole body trembled from reaching another peak. Miria’s hands dug into the tree hard, making the bark crack and sending splinters to the sides.

Asterios didn’t stop. He kept slamming his hips as hard as he could while also faintly brushing Miria’s tail up and down to increase her pleasure. And it worked wonders. 

“Yessssshhhhh~! Ahaaaan! Hyaannn! Thaaattshhh itttt! Ahaaannnn! Nyaaaaaaa~!”

He started sensing Miria’s rising desire to get pounded even harder. It was a hard task to complete as Asterios was already going as hard as he could.

「I might not be physically strong enough to match your kind, but there are countless ways to supplement myself.」

After reaffirming his spirit, Asterios surprised Miria by suddenly pulling his penis out with a loud plop and swiftly rotating her vertically. Sent slightly into the air, she quickly threw her arms around his neck and entwined her legs behind his waist. Before she could express her dissatisfaction, she felt her back hit against the tree and Ast’s penis nailed her dripping pussy back again.

“NYAAAAAAAAAAHNNNNNNNNNNNN~?!?! THAAATSSS EVEN DEEEPEEEER~! YESSS~! AHANNNNNNNN~!”

Asterios used the wooden pillar behind her to push his cock even further. Each time he scratched her depths again, Miria’s body shivered. Now that they were able to face each other, she began raining kisses and bites onto his lips as much as she could in between the fervent moans and gasps for air. 

She was so happy, so glad, so ecstatic. Miria didn’t expect Asterios to actually do her this hard even though it was what she really wanted. She began using her thighs to push her hips according to his thrusts to shove Ast’s twitching rod even deeper into her lewd hole.

“Masssteeeeeeeeer~! I looveee youuuuuu~! Nyaaahn… Ahnnnnn... Pleaseeeee! Fill me uppppp!”

Asterios realized she must have sensed him reaching his limits. There was just one more thing he could do to give her the ending she deserved. He placed both of his hands on Miria’s shoulders and pushed her a little bit lower, pinning her to the tree even more while ravaging her pussy with powerful thrusts.

She stared at his lips from slightly below, already missing kissing those two soft bumps. Asterios locked their gazes for a moment and smiled mischievously. Miria’s eyes widened. She felt herself approaching another climax and she had a weird premonition that he was planning something that would send her pleasure meters straight through the roof.

And she was not mistaken as Asterios moved his mouth towards the top of her head, not breaking the eye contact for even a second. Realization hit her instantly.

“WAAAAIT! If you do that… nyaaahhaan… now… ahnnnn… I—”

But it was too late. Ast’s supple lips closed over the tip of her left ear.

“HYAAAAAAAAAHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN~!”

A wave of intense pleasure ran through Miria’s whole body as it started shaking. She was approaching the peak insanely fast and Asterios was still drilling her pussy senseless. It was the best. She would have the biggest orgasm while he was affectionately kissing her ear and knocking on the door to her deepest depths. Nothing could have been better.

Miria, unfortunately, was wrong.

“AHYAAAAAAAAAAAHNNN~! NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!”

With just the perfect amount of strength to send her over the edge, Asterios nibbled on the fluffy earlobe, sinking his teeth very gently into the insanely delicate inner side of Miria’s ear. That was way too much than what she expected and she came hard. Her back arched like a bridge while Miria released the loudest scream that night.

The dam holding back the sea of white finally broke when Miria’s pussy squeezed Ast’s cock with unbelievable strength and cloudy liquid shot out from his penis. Waves of hot semen crashed against her furthest depths and Miria’s body jerked once more as the hot seed filled her insides to the brim.

Asterios held her in the air for the whole duration of their orgasms. After a minute, Miria’s body finally stopped spasming and he pulled her to lean onto him. He stepped to the side, watching out not to slip on the grass completely painted in their love juices, and sat under the tree. They both panted hard. It was more like desperate wheezing for air.

After five minutes, Miria slowly pulled herself up from his shoulder and positioned her face in front of his while still sitting on Ast’s lap with her legs locked onto his waist. She looked down at their nether regions. A faint stream of white was dripping out of her pussy and Ast’s half-erect penis was just in front of it.

She returned her gaze back up, now with a much clearer head than before, and started getting extremely embarrassed over all the things she said to Asterios so shamelessly. She opened her mouth to start apologizing, but he hastily placed a finger on it and shushed her down. After she had given up, Asterios leaned forward and joined their lips in a loving and gentle peck.

“Shy Miria, lewd Miria, I don’t care, I love them both.” He smiled at her.

She pursued his lips and left one more kiss on them. “Thank you… I’m sorry for stupidly worrying over this… I love you too, Master.”

He chuckled and patted her head. “I know. So don’t hide stuff like that from me anymore, okay? I could feel how bad you felt when you jumped out of the portal.”

She smiled cutely and nodded. “I promise.” She then looked down again and then averted her gaze. “Ummm… Do you really… like it?”

Asterios raised one of his eyebrows. After glancing where she looked at, he instantly realized what she was asking about. He sighed and shook his head, using one of his hands to bring Miria’s face towards his.

“Silly girl, there’s not a single spot on your whole body I wouldn't love to see. This,” he used the other one to poke the fluffy bush above her slit, “is on the list too. Don’t you ever dare think of getting rid of it for me. It’s beautiful.”

Even though her face was still slightly flushed, Miria felt a heavy blush creep onto her cheeks. She snuggled as close to Ast as she could, pressing her soft breasts against his warm chest and started nuzzling her face into his neck while purring affectionately. Nothing could describe the happiness she felt at that moment.
