We continued all through the night. Despite Tammy being exhausted, I felt completely fine at having not slept. With 45 constitution I was somewhat curious whether I even needed to sleep at all. Surely I would have to eventually, but right now I felt like I could go for days without sleep.
Perhaps it way a tad mean, but despite being a willing participant, Tammy had begun dozing off in the later half, whenever that happened I would increase my pace. Working away at her relentlessly until I came, making sure she was awake for every moment. The bed soaked from our activities, and only stopping to give her water and snacks at regular intervals, ensuring she could go on.
Noticing the first few rays of morning light illuminate the darkened sky outside, marking the end of our session. Tammy had to get ready for work. She already agreed to quit and come follow me to the Capital, but it would take time for the guild to find a replacement, and she needed to let them know today.
It wouldn't be such a problem if not for the fact she could hardly stand, let alone walk. Her legs completely jelly under her, and her arms feeble from exhaustion. I looked at her lie weakly in bed, straining to get up, it seemed that I was going to have to hang out around the guild today... ensuring she was okay.
Picking her off the bed I carried her out of the room and into the view of her awaiting parents. Apparent enough that they had also stayed up the entire night, but looking in a terrific mood for it. Ultimately they just wanted to support and encourage their daughter, even if the manner seemed a little strange to me. Considering some of the traditions regarding the consummation of marriage, I suppose I should just count myself lucky they didn't demand to be in the same room the whole time. Although in a sense, this wasn't a proper marriage, just me using Tammy on the side as a mistress.
With her mothers help we scrubbed her down outside, eliciting some shivers of protest from Tammy, the combination of cold water and cold air not a pleasant one for her. But it was something necessary, because quite honestly she smelled like sex. I had marked her so thoroughly, that it wasn't something that was going to come out easily. Her mother sniffed at Tammy while she was scrubbing, maybe half in amazement, half in curiosity. We had gone at it for so long and so vigorously, I'm sure the poor mother was thinking it had to be something to do with my 'magic'.
Seeing how open and supportive of our sex her parents had been, I had no qualms taking advantage of the moment, teasing Tammy when I could while she just resigned herself to fate. With the excuse of 'cleaning' I would cup my hands in cold water, bringing it to Tammy's vagina before fingering her with it. Enjoying the sensation of her pussy clamping down on my fingers angrily, while she just shuddered and let out moans, too tired to protest.
Her mother beaming at my 'affection', kidding that we were already getting along so well.
Before long Tammy was cleaned and presentable, her cheeks seeming to glow with a sensual and womanly aura. If we weren't rushed for time I'd take her again. Lamenting that we were in such a hurry, so much so that we didn't even have time for a breakfast. I could only promise her parents that I would get Tammy some food. My inventory making this a very easy task.
Carrying Tammy in my arms. I walked back to town. Ignoring the stares of the few lone passerby's while she laid flat with embarrassment. Doing nothing aside from developing a healthy blush on her cheeks.
By the time we were at the guild the sun was finally beginning to peak over the horizon, sending its first direct rays onto the ground. Birds chirping as we headed inside. I let her sit down inside at her usual spot, behind the guild clerk counter. Walking through the way Tammy had showed me last time to get to the back. Seeing the dozens of men, organizing and packing up the chunks of muckrat and wolf meat they had processed. Their 'payment' for a nights hard work.
All of the furs were stripped off, and stacked in a pile. The remains of the carcasses loaded into wagons for disposal.
I looked at one of the men who seemed to be something of a leader for this group, seeing him direct the others. Of course being such temporary work they had no actual leader, but it made things convenient for me to only address one person.
"Hello! I'm Keaton, the one who commissioned your work here. Are you finished here?" I asked curiously.
"Yep. We're just packing up now, but you can go ahead and log those furs in with the guild. Normally Tammy would be here to count them, but I haven't seen her around."
Smiling at his comment.
"You don't have to worry. She's back. I'll take these over to her and collect payment. So you guys are fine for now?"
To which he just nodded.
Leaning in I whispered to him.
"A bit of curiosity. How good is this stuff anyway?" Motioning to the cuts of muckrat steaks he had. Muckrats were generally considered trash food, but something recently had caught my eye. The expanded effects of level 10 [Identification] now indicating to me that these cubes of meat had a weak effect on enhancing constitution over time. The lucky few who had wolf meat, seemed to be getting the better bargain though as I could tell its effect on constitution was even more profound.
"It tastes better than you'd expect." He said to me while shrugging.
I looked at the pile of stripped carcasses a bit wistfully before moving on. Three hundred gall bladders was a lot to miss out on, I could get a few gold from Cal for that... my miserly attitude coming through.
When he says "enhancing constitution over time" is that permanent?
Yep, its permanent.
@Kaguro Cool, makes sense.
I actually like this girl. All the women who only have PURE love for the mc and no other considerations, often in an extremely short timespan are f*ckin boring s*x dolls not worth anything.
Thanks for the chappy
MC better feed his woman this kind of meat so they can keep up with him in sex
That's y there is harem, to fight together against this big bad wolf
Want not, waste not.
Thanks for the chapter
great story
Thanks for the chapter
Thanks for the chapter
Thinking that he could have just eaten some enhancing const meat instead of dumping stat points in it makes me wanna cry for him
Tammy work by sucking the guild master's d*ck, then at night f*cking with MC. I'm quite confused, is this not ntr? How is he okay with this arrangement?
Guild master is not with Tammy anymore. He's actually not even in the city at the moment, which is why we haven't seen him. But that's not going to come up yet.
@Kaguro So when he's back it'll be like, suddenly she's loyal or what. I can't imagine her not taking advantage of the situation by using both MC and the guild master.
@Jadestar The MC isn't going to give her the option because knows about the guild master, but even so it wouldn't be too big of a problem. For Tammy, she doesn't really have power over either of them. She isn't a girl that is overly loyal, but there's no benefit for her to be seeing other men, and a lot of risk. It's in her best interest to be faithful to Keaton.
She lives with Keaton and is hoping that she'll get to live a more wealthy lifestyle as a result, she wants some stability as a part of that. If she flirts with other men that kind of goes out the door. Keaton was a good choice for her because he was someone she knew, and he only came into his power recently so her competition was slim. She wouldn't sleep with random people for money because it's ultimately not in her best interest.
@Kaguro "She wouldn't sleep with random people for money because it's ultimately not in her best interest.", I feel like this sentence contradict with her past action? So ultimately if she did meet a more powerful man she'll ditch him.
I imagine there'll be dozens of woman going to use the same tactic for our MC since MC is the only space mage. Does this mean he'll accept all of them? Cause if he's not, then why would he accept Tammy? It really feels like he is thinking with his d*ck.
@Jadestar He is partially thinking with his other head. He is not really looking to recruit mass amounts of women, but if there are casual encounters with women he knows, there's not really any downsides to him. He does have some standards, even if we haven't seen many yet. One of those is that he doesn't sleep with actual prostitutes, like the ones he passes by in an earlier chapter.
Second point is that not every woman that becomes his, has to stay with him 24/7. If he adds somebody to his harem, and they aren't a particularly core member, then he doesn't really have to keep them on hand the entire time. He will eventually get his own properties, where they can stay.
Tammy is benefitting from being one of his first women, and the first non-slave he has ever been with. She is successful with seducing Keaton for the exact reason she tries in the first place. He's somewhat inexperienced, and has recently become successful, therefore he is more open to this kind of persuasion and has never had women approach him like this. She benefits a lot from the timing.
As far as Tammy's rationale. It really is in her best interest. She wants a life of luxury, which she is already starting to get a taste for. Ultimately though she is not a highly desirable woman. She has a poor background, she is no longer a virgin, and she might be soon pregnant. She is pretty, but only to a certain degree. The type of man she is interested in, is generally not interested in her. Rich powerful men in this world might have s*x with her if she propositioned them, but it's not like they would stay with her. And ultimately she doesn't want to be a prostitute, she wants to be a wife.
As far as the guild master's involvement, he is not really interested in her beyond a shallow relationship. Which is not what she was looking for.
@Jadestar Also I would add that Keaton kind of falls into her lap.
Think of it in terms of how it would parallel in modern society. A man working at some company suddenly inherits several billion dollars and becomes a celebrity all over the news. A lot of the single women at the company are going to be introducing themselves.
Doesn't mean they are inherently slutty, but they are certainly thinking about more than just true love.
@Kaguro My conclusion is that Tammy is currently with MC due to how convenient it is to be with him. In other words, he is an option that benefitted her the most, thus her seducing him.
MC knew about this but he still gives it to her? What's the difference between her and the prostitutes I wonder? If anything I would say she is a premium prostitutes as she did it for money too. That's just double standard towards the normal prostitutes. Just because she is more beautiful than the average woman does not mean the term prostitutes won't apply to her.
You didn't deny that when a powerful-innocent teenager/man comes in later she's able to ditch him, for instance, a powerful prince where she would be able to live the royal lives. I can't even be mad to her because that's his choice, to become her plaything.
As far as the guild master, it certainly feels like "Yeah take that mouth, I'm bored of it already."
@Kaguro I agree, but he also won't stick to the girls. As he can just throw money some girls and done, she's his girl. By some girls I mean the gold digger one.
@Kaguro Also, if the MC just give some money to her that's understandable since they both benefit from that particular transaction. But he is giving her a life where she can be above others, giving her a life which not anyone can give her. That is a one-sided transaction.
Even if Tammy isn't with the MC, he still got Belle and his fiancee to f*ck. What Tammy offer isn't just a redundant act but with some serious side effect which can jeopardize his life. He knew it but still accepted it, I really don't understand. Did he got charmed with her magic or what?
@Jadestar I don't think it would happen, and I certainly am not planning for a future event like that given that it's not really something I am interested in writing about. I do however have certain personality traits and reasoning in mind for her that she would follow in any situation.
1. She acts in her own self-interest. (she wouldn't do something that would force Keaton to kick her out on the street, unless it was actually beneficial for her. Not many things would warrant that kind of decision given how good she has it now.)
2. She acts in a manner appropriate for her background. Farmer's daughter / guild clerk.
2. She wants stability in her life (in regards to her actions towards Keaton, she had worked with him for several weeks as a clerk, and known him on a casual basis for years earlier)
3. She does have some standards. (She isn't going around selling herself on the street for cash. She was willing to go along with the guild master for benefits, but that was partially to help out her family. Switching men is not inherently against her mentality. I.E. if her life situation were to degrade terribly, she might think about it if she had better options. But as far as her relationship between the guild-master, she was never really his woman)
4. She cares about her family. She took the job as a clerk partly to help out at home. They are basically starving peasants, even if their situation had improved since she had the extra salary.
@Kaguro In regards to 1, 2, and 2(2nd one). I've nothing to say since that is her characteristic which I have nothing against.
For 4, that is basically what I've said. MC giving her a large amount of money would work better rather than officially making her his. Him taking in a gold digger just for s*x is... weird.
For 3, "She isn't going around selling herself on the street for cash." is a contradiction to "She was willing to go along with the guild master for benefits, but that was partially to help out her family.". Why do you think prostitutes do their job? For benefits which in this context can be said as money/cash.
"Switching men is not inherently against her mentality.", Isn't this what a slut do? Correct me if I'm wrong. But "I.E. if her life situation were to degrade terribly, she might think about it if she had better options.", isn't this why the prostitutes are forced to do their job. We aren't talking about being a slut, but prostitutes, a job which earns money.
"But as far as her relationship between the guild-master, she was never really his woman.", she did that for the benefit -> it's either slut or prostitutes. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.
@Jadestar I guess it's just the semantics of what the difference between a prostitute and a gold digger is.
To me prostitution seems like a far more impersonal experience. They have s*x with random men, regardless of who they are for money.
Whereas a gold digger, or a woman who wants to have relations with a rich man, is seeking anything from short-term cash to a long-term wealthy lifestyle.
There a several examples of young women seeking out and marrying old rich dudes that I'm partially drawing on. These types usually stay on as long as the man is willing to have them. It's not like the women in these relationships always have the pick of the litter, even the supermodel top tier beauties have to settle sometimes. There's way more desperate women than there are rich and powerful men, especially in a feudalistic violence-torn fantasy world.
@Kaguro Are you aware that the young woman seeking out and marrying old rich dudes is cheating on the dudes for a younger one. Yes, they did it with the old dudes but they also did it with others. They have money so they can pick which of the younger ones to be with them. Is this what you want to base Tammy on?
@Jadestar Maybe in some cases these women cheat, but I'm generalizing and changing things to fit my narrative and the setting that the story is based in.
The first one is that I don't actually want the girls to be cheating on Keaton, so they won't be. I might set up situations where they are challenged or tested in some ways to create dramatic tension, but ultimately I don't like writing about NTR so it's pretty safe to say it will never happen. Even if that breaks the character reasoning somewhat.
As far as a realism perspective to the novel, and why this fits in with the character personalities. There is no tinder or other methods for hooking up easily. Girls always have to be face to face with the men, so poor women who want to marry up aren't going to be meeting with a lot of rich men very often. Keaton is the first man of any decent status that she's ever personal spoken to. While she is now elevated and probably more likely to encounter influential men, there really aren't a lot of opportunities where she would be alone with them.
And an additional 'realism' is another part of Tammy's personality. While it hasn't been fully expressed yet, she is not inherently a loose woman, even if she has shown some willingness to use s*x as a tool up to now. She jumped on Keaton at the first opportunity, but she was up to that point a virgin. She knew him for a long time before that, and his new fame and fortune only pushed her to do it. She was more desperate when she was younger when she met the guildmaster, but now she is quite content with her lifestyle, and probably wouldn't be swayed even from greener pastures. Money is also not her only drive. She does have some ideas about romance and family.
This is somewhat cheating because as an author I can set their personality to be whatever, but that's what I have envisioned for her.
@Kaguro I agree, this is your authority as an author and I myself supports no ntr.
But really, "she is not inherently a loose woman" and "She jumped on Keaton at the first opportunity" is still a contradiction.
"She was more desperate when she was younger" desperate I understand, but now "she is quite content with her lifestyle, and probably wouldn't be swayed" so she wouldn't go to Keaton at the first place since she is already content with her life. She feels no regret whatsoever of her past action and just jumps to the given opportunity, isn't that the same as when she was younger and sucking the guild master's d*ck. She didn't change, she changed her method.
I get that Polygamy for a noble is a norm in this setup. But you said "She does have some ideas about romance and family.", which I don't think any given girl wants to share her husband with others. And she did aim to be Keaton's concubine, essentially mean she's number 2. So the threat of her finding her own love in her life is still high. It's not like they're in love in the first place that forces her to be a concubine rather than wife, she just wanna be a concubine for Keaton. That's not romance I imagine.
@Kaguro Oh btw, "He is partially thinking with his other head." kinda contradict with his action to accept Tammy. To me, it looks like he is fully thinking with his d*ck.
@Jadestar
I'll clarify what I meant by content is not the period of time when she was with the guild master, but rather the current period where she is with the MC.
Whereas she is now growing much more content with her life now that she is provided for, and is growing attached from her first actual relationship. When she was with the guild master in her earlier years she had very little emotional attachment because he was not interested in her other than for occasional sexual favors, and not like a real relationship would be.
@Jadestar
In any case, I enjoy these conversations so thank you for reading my story and giving input.
@Kaguro I see. I find it disturbing Keaton does not even care about her relationship with the guild master just like when he sent Belle to the womanizer. It feels like he himself knows that whatever happens, his girls won't cheat on him. You said that even he has a standard for who he f*ck, how is that relevant when Tammy just passes the standard. Does this mean, if the girl is not a prostitute, it's fine to take her in although she is a slut that like to do it with a different man? I mean, the girl is not a prostitute.
@Kaguro I'm also enjoying this conversation. Hope you won't be disheartened as I saw some people like this story. Goodluck further
