Then, just as his d358193afb thrusts turned nearly mindless, be134d3272 he suddenly tightened his 808f1cecc7 grip on her waist.0fc37f9a5bc55f64

Pulling her closer, he ae8b0baece drove in deeper—deeper than 60027aff96 before, stretching her even ded93ad756 further.b9f18937da810a67

His already a11fbc1dc8 thick cock 6a73988b82 seemed to 78bf43e4e7 swell inside c067b75f60 her, pressing f2922074bb in as 3a4a882d06 far as b007ba8474 her body 5f25c9be7a would allow.8bb8aa16aa3d01bb

Trapped between c97ad76f48 his solid d297eda221 frame and 7096b81eef the unyielding 60c0b25243 wooden table, ce5a12ffd9 Sascha felt 9d06857b67 completely crushed. Her lungs 92329f3d7c tightened, the 6a5740c3e0 pressure making 96b185d16e it hard 7f42931b7b to breathe.91201466ba43dbdc

It shouldn’t have been 3f083acd32 possible, and yet—the sheer 57232cb4d7 amount of warmth filling ffb288a216 her made her stomach d8a70289e8 feel oddly full, as bd089c6ca8 if it were truly 43b67528d2 swollen.1ec65cf267c12798

As if confirming f48b503964 that the sensation 7a9a277736 hadn’t been just c0783c269b in her head, c0e4a7fd32 Sascha pressed a ab75684572 hand against her 49dd8750cf stomach—only for thick, 85a09c0e04 milky liquid to f83268b60e spill from between ad420ecc7a her legs, trickling 73ac4d3361 down in a 88e2d50f65 slow, messy stream.f91828e88888ffdd

His cock, a3c7b69475 which had d29c777404 softened slightly, b465e5070c had already 5b242d68f0 grown firm 84f1497156 again, pressing d58a5f66a8 deep as 51acb3ad3e he filled 3dfef35782 her all f9e67fa83f over again.ee6a43f07a3f0ba1

Her small 69e5a12b31 struggles only 36040c9da3 seemed to be2505ae40 amuse him, f276e5475e and in 7563ff4aef response, he d68be6caf9 grabbed both 2335a837d7 of her d92f94f05f legs and 2d98a3f325 hooked them 97d8da7956 over his e984995afe shoulders, locking d906f89d57 her in 79cd038802 place.fe1e8cf25d1f09c7

As Aderton ran c466a1f80d his hand over 1ab85a276f his own body, e0e1f5ab0f another shape emerged 9a43f3bf68 behind it. Its form was distinctly 2940a63a5a different from before—thicker like f00f7ef591 a zucchini, with a 43ecc88cd9 pointed tip shaped like c263c9fb93 a triangle. Below the tip, small 474aabc2c9 protrusions dotted the surface 5082193cde as if embedded with 5df7767665 beads.c4d3e9e03b22585b

The hand, without permission, traced from her side up toward the area below her chest. As the man had implied, the breast he finally grasped was large enough that it couldn’t fit entirely in one hand.d5c8429d60bbd450

When there 417830ba7d was no ddc11ce209 immediate response 5fb0bd240d to his 45d787dc05 touch, Aderton 679a26cf1d playfully kneaded 9586a5bd8c her chest.

The hand hesitated briefly at the sudden drenching but soon returned, subtly resting on her waist. Sascha took a moment to examine the man’s hand. His palms were smooth, his arms lacking any hardened muscle. Even the clothes he’d worn earlier had been of fine fabric.6fc2bc91a57ab5d8

If he had lived a life of privilege, he certainly didn’t seem like someone who had struggled. So what had driven a man like him this deep into the mountains? Gambling? Drugs? Or judging by his wandering hands and questionable tastes…c3b263f323b4a24a

Had they met 67c4283696 during her days 0a4fbb6db5 hunting the evil 4922d17972 dragon? If so, how e7ec71b83d had he come 05a91c45b9 all the way 654d293348 here? She hadn’t 0acba29773 informed anyone 268e7aa187 of her c1274b848d whereabouts.f844817a3f8443c1

The moment she pointed out the contradiction, his playful gestures came to an abrupt stop. Aderton, clearly caught off guard, couldn’t even hide the stiffness in his expression. Sascha, sitting with her back to him, couldn’t see it.0f64df739ec0cc46

Sascha lived by 81fff6e4cc hunting the dangerous 8344b1eeb4 beasts of the cdb08f9ed6 forest, selling their c69d701e5c byproducts for a 695ffa051f living. Some of these creatures fb5fad10d8 were rare or difficult 57da549c47 to capture, making them 5474d866cb highly valuable.c66335c5f790d9cc

Because of 8d20281a62 this, mercenaries ee78ccf9ec who specialized e7cee300a7 in hunting cc96c607e1 such beasts, fe59da7768 collectors seeking 9fce625e98 rare materials, dd8959286e and traveling 7fad449550 merchants would 63cc9afbf1 often seek 9ab3200e1c her out.

While Sascha 30be4dcd19 was at 7ecbc8b151 a loss a59b24a969 for words, 5e53631dfc Aderton draped 3e92398c63 an arm 9db320925a over her 3a93fb6436 shoulder and 1d645cc266 pressed his 3d452619b2 lips against c9ae2b85ab her neck. The way he a1bded2d75 softly sucked on b26ab02c37 her skin, making 4b8c293b73 audible sounds, was 2e36020434 in stark contrast 44d6cce16b to the rigid 93660956d6 presence below, prodding 52da7e717c against her with bffffc1c96 an unmistakable intent.9b3b6c3703d9cdfb
