Dao 4 Chapter 16 (Patreon)

“Brr.” Neko held her arms as she reappeared in Dar’s inner world. “Very cold outside. The wind is taking away all of the heat. The storm is almost here.”

Cherry was with her. “She’s right. If you want to run around in a blizzard, now is your chance.”

Dar was lying next to the tree resting a moment after all the practice. It was nice that he didn’t sweat in his inner world. “Great.” He sat up. “I’ll be fine. You girls relax here and do whatever you need to.”

Cherry crossed her arms. “Maybe it would be best to bring at least one of us.”

Neko looked around and shook her head. “Too cold for Neko. Too windy for wings.”

“He is fine to go on his own.” Valdis stated. “If he thinks he can take the weather, that’s the worst of it. Nothing else is going to be out in the storm to endanger him.”

“Yeah. What she said.” Neko nodded vigorously. “It is wet. No place for a Neko.”

“Cherry, I’ll be fine.” Dar stood up and cupped her cheeks as he planted a big kiss on her forehead.

She blushed. “I just worry about you sometimes. You tend to push yourself further than you should.” She gave him a knowing look.

“But so be it. You will summon us if you need anything.” She gave him a hard look to emphasize the statement. “And when you are done playing in the snow, we’ll be ready to warm you up.”

Neko’s eyes sparkled with interest. “Yes. Come, we’ll warm you up. Neko specialty.” She winked.

Dar couldn’t help but laugh as he pulled his mind out of his inner world and woke in his hut.

The wind howled outside, drowning out any of Dar’s thoughts as he exited.

“Open this up.” He pushed the stone away and snow poured down over him, trying to chill him. But his dao of heat melted it and turned his little hut into a steam box.

Focusing inward, he let his mana flow through his body until it started to glow. Bright runes etched every inch of his exposed skin, and he knew there were more underneath his clothing.

With a leap, he launched himself up and out of his buried hut, landing in the snow up to his knees.

He couldn’t feel the cold. The biggest problem was that no matter how much he weighed, there would always be a layer of snow between his foot and the ground, making running harder.

But he gave it his best shot, working to hurry forward. Amid the snow, Frost’s Fang was still obvious. It formed a giant shadow in the distance.

Dar slipped several times on the snow while the wind buffeted his back. Moving forward quickly wasn’t just a problem of strength, it was simply one of physics.

While his runes were active, they drew all of his mana away from his dao, and he struggled to activate the dao of heavy to lock himself down.

As he reached for the dao, he felt a familiar pulse from one of his runes.

Dar focused on it and it glowed brighter than the rest. Dar focused, trying to keep going, and he sank the final inches through the snow, making contact with the ground.

Dar stood for a moment trying to process what had just happened. He’d never used his dao through the runes.

He put his hand over his thigh where the rune was. “Interesting. I wonder what else is here?”

All over his body, the runes were lesser dao scribed to give him any physical property he could imagine. He looked around his body, finding the one for strength.

With a push of effort, he launched himself twenty feet in a single powerful stride, sticking the landing as he activated another of his known enchantments, the dao of sticky.

“This I can do.” Dar swung his arm, disconnected the dao of sticky and launched himself high into the air with enough power that he cut right through the raging blizzard, only to land and switch the dao of sticky back on to keep from sliding on ice.

He laughed like a madman amid the storm as he continued to launch himself through the snow, alternating which runes he activated.

The rush was incredible. Dar wondered if gaining another grand dao would give him the strength to power his enchantments and use his dao.

If he ever made it to the celestial dao, he was fairly certain it would.

But he needed two grand dao, and he wasn’t sure how life and the dao Tami was working on would fit together.

Even as he moved in giant leaps, the storm made Frost’s Fang seem almost unobtainable, like it was something that would forever tower in the distance.

Dar pushed through as best as he could, but even then it only grew closer by small margins.

The wind continued to howl around Dar.

He had a creepy feeling, like something was just past his field of view, watching him as he moved along. But nothing attacked.

The feeling didn’t leave him as he scanned around with each jump.

“It has to be in my head.” He puffed as he sped up. He was moving fast enough that few should be able to keep up, but the feeling didn’t leave him.

Pushing himself harder, Dar did his best to put it out of his mind and fly through the storm. The sooner he got to Frost’s Fang, the sooner he could try and find a cave to weather the rest of the storm. The storm didn’t seem to be ending anytime soon.

***

Dar didn’t know how long he’d traveled, but eventually he wasn’t on a foothill anymore. He was moving up a steady angling slope that led straight up to the spire of a mountain that everyone called Frost’s Fang.

As the incline grew, it was getting harder and harder to keep his footing in the steep cliffs.

So when he came across a cave, he ducked in and rolled a ball of magma in his hand, lifting it up for some light.

“Anyone here?” He called out as the dao of heat melted the rest of the snow off his body.

The cave went deeper, and Dar continued forward with the light. The last thing he needed was a monster to attack him while he rested.

But as he walked, he remembered his discussion with Amber and decided not to try to do it alone. She was becoming a master of shadows, after all. Pausing, he pushed Amber out of his inner world.

“Milord.” Amber took in her surroundings and the still raging storm outside. “Good. You’ve been at it for most of a day.”

“Really?” Dar frowned and sat down, his knees aching with the release. As his body complained at the movement, he realized how long he had been moving. “Can you do me a favor and check the rest of the cave?”

“Yes, but can you bring Marcie out? I’d like her to stay with you.” Amber shot off, not waiting for a response.

Dar paused. He could certainly watch over himself, but Marcie probably had the same need to feel useful as Amber.

Marcie popped up next to him. “Milord. It is good that you have stopped to rest. Tea?” She handed him a steaming mug, and he was suddenly very pleased with his choice to have her help.

“Thanks.” His stomach made a loud and rude sound at the smell of the tea.

“I’ll be right back.” Marcie bled into his shadow while he took his first few sips. She returned with a loaf of bread that Dar just tore right into without question. “You should know that Tami has completed her dao and has hopes that you’ll take her to bed when you return to the inner world.”

Dar shot her a look of surprise. “Alright. I was a little worried that she would have an issue after she fell asleep on me the other day.”

“She was quite embarrassed on that front, but understanding.” Marcie recounted. “Mostly she took all of the energy she regained and threw it towards mastering her dao so that she’d get another shot.” The maid had a sly smile. “Which you should give her.”

Dar nodded, already planning on it. “It’s not like it was a one time thing. That just wasn’t the right moment.” He looked off into the depth of the cave. “Amber is still checking the back of the cave.”

“She’ll be fine, and I’ll watch over you. Worst case, I’ll jump in and grab Cherry and Valdis if reinforcements are needed. Relax and go talk to Tami.” Marcie urged Dar.

Dar tore into the bread a bit more, stuffing it down his throat instead of savoring it. His body needed sustenance after the haul, and he was ready to settle into the warmth of his inner world.

Finishing a mouthful, he wiggled to make himself more comfortable on the ground before closing his eyes to meditate.

It was just a few moments before he felt his bare feet in the grass of his inner world. It was always an odd sensation to suddenly change positions.

For a moment, Dar thought to call one of the maids to help him find Tami, but then he realized they were both gone.

So instead, he went past the dao tree. Seeing only Neko practicing, he moved on into the keep.

He found Valdis, Cherry and Tami were rolling dice and playing some game that Dar hadn’t seen before.

Cherry was the first to notice him, perking up and smiling wide. “Great. I wondered where the maids went off to. Say, Valdis, remember that thing we had to do?”

“What thing?” Valdis frowned.

“THE thing.” Cherry glared at her.

“Oh. Right. The Thing. Yeah, sorry we gotta go Dar. Have fun with Tami.” Valdis shot to her feet and was promptly dragged away by Cherry.

Tami fidgeted anxiously, looking anywhere but Dar’s face as she blushed such a deep red Dar thought she was going to explode.

Dar smiled, waiting for her to have a moment to compose herself. But as he studied her, he noticed she was wearing a blue silk robe with frilly gold trim. It had the hallmarks of Sasha’s tailoring. “Is that new?” Dar sat down next to her, trying to get her to open back up.

Tami peeked up at him through her eyelashes. “Sasha made it before we left.”

Down below the hem, Dar could see soft blue stockings that most certainly were connected to a garter belt.

He really loved how much Sasha enjoyed the modern lingerie styles he showed her. She’d been starting to incorporate them into just about everything. With her dao, there weren’t many limits for her.

“You like them?” Tami watched him carefully.

“Yes, I like them quite a bit. I also think that you wearing them makes them better.” Dar slid his hand along her thigh and watched as a smile bloomed across her face and her blush deepened.

“About last time.” Tami started, but Dar put a finger to her lips.

“Last time you were tired. This time?” Dar paused.

Tami instantly looked up at him, eagerness on her face. “I’m awake! Very awake. I’d like to…” She paused, still too timid to state what she needed.

Taking the opportunity, Dar put a hand on her hip and drew her close as he kissed her.

She had delicate thin lips and kissed like a fleeting breeze as she tenderly returned his passion, growing in intensity by the moment.

Gaining confidence, she scooted up close to Dar, pressing against him and wrapping her arms around the back of his head. She held him to her lips and twisted her lips over his, constantly changing the angle trying to figure out which she liked best.

Dar laughed, pulling the excited demon off of him. “Let’s go find a room. If I may?” He started to pick her up, and she nodded excitedly.

All it took was her nod. Dar swept her off the bench and up the stairs.

She clung to him and couldn’t stop with little fluttering kisses along his chest. “Dar. I—“

“Shh.” Dar had a feeling she was light on experience. “Leave it to me.” He nudged open a door and closed it with his foot, although the others would know not to disturb him.

He lay her gently on the bed and she tugged at his shirt, pulling it over his head and then unbuckling his belt with fumbling hands.

“Slow down.” He laughed, pushing her down on the bed and letting his clothes fall to the ground. “You don’t want this over quickly do you?”

“No, but I want it to start. Besides, the other girls… they said it doesn’t stop after the first time.”

“It does not.” He confirmed. “But there’s no need to rush.” Dar pressed her into the sheets and licked his lips before playing with the belt that held her robe closed. “I certainly want to savor every inch of you.”

Dar pushed Tami’s chin to the side and kissed down her neck, leaving goosebumps in his wake.

“Dar.” Tami whined as she pressed her chest up to him. “I’ve been waiting for this for a while now. Don’t tease me so much.”

He pulled her sash like a present just for him and her robe parted to show her toned stomach.

Dar ran a finger along the abs that were just barely defined along her stomach. Tami was a lean and fit woman, built like a runner. Which made sense given her previous job for the crown.

As her robe fell away, Dar got to admire what was underneath. Sasha had outdone herself.

Tami wore a powder blue bra that pushed her breasts up as high as they would go. Then around her waist, a garter belt held up her stockings. Finally, a lacy thong with a hole in it fit her like a glove.

“Do you like it?” She whispered, wiggling her hips just the slightest bit.

“I love it. Should I leave it on for the first time?”

She nodded meekly. “It makes me feel beautiful.”

“Because you are.” Dar kissed down her chest, giving each of her breasts a loving kiss before tracing her abs with his lips and leaving soft kisses on each of them.

By the time he had made it down to her waist, she was thrusting her hips up into his face and dragging his chin against her sex.

Her lower lips were swollen with anticipation. “Dar.” She whined, wiggling a bit more.

He gave her a predatory grin as he leaned down and tasted her with a quick lick.

She sighed like her soul had left her and moaned as she finally relaxed into him.

Dar kissed her thigh, stroking her with his finger. His finger came away wet as her body grew ready for him.

“Oh Tami, you are beautiful.” He looked up, meeting her eyes and making sure she could see the sincerity in his.

Then Dar went back in, kissing along her lips and letting his tongue explore her folds. He slowly coaxed more of her wet fluids out and then gave the pink pearl of her sex soft kisses.

He couldn’t help but enjoy how wild it was driving Tami. She started to buck again on the bed. “Enough. I’m more than ready.” She demanded, grabbing his head and pulling him up to look into her eyes. “Fuck me.”

Dar didn’t need to be asked twice. He rose from where he’d been enjoying her and positioned his hips to slide into her, but then he felt her tense beneath him.

“Relax.”

“But it’s so big.” She looked down between his legs. “I want it, but I’ve never had anything like that monster.”

Dar grabbed her antlers and pulled her head to the side to distract her with a flutter of kisses before he lined himself up and slowly eased himself inside of her. He stroked where her antlers met her hair, trying to give her another sensation to focus on for the moment as she stretched to fit him.

Tami gasped and her stomach tensed as he pushed just the tip inside of her and stopped. “Big.”

“I’ll go slow.” He promised as he pinned her hands and started to rock gently into her.

Tami pinched her eyes together and braced against his chest as he rocked into her agonizingly slow. “Just push it in.”

Grabbing her hips, he impaled her slowly, her soft folds giving way to him as he sank into her.

“Please tell me that’s all of it.” She looked up at him with a tear at the edge of her eyes.

“All of it.” He just waited a moment, kissing her tenderly until he felt her relax around him, growing used to his length. “Ready?”

Tami breathlessly looked up at him and nodded.

Like an engine leaving the station he started to pump slowly at first, picking up the rhythm with harder and harder thrusts into her warm wet pussy.

“Ah! Yes.” She cried out, her body growing to accommodate him and endorphins beginning to run through her body.

She arched in front of him, her breasts pushing up into his chest as he rocked into her, plunging again and again.

She was incredibly tight, and the small gasps she made while leaning back, her mouth open with pleasure was all the encouragement he needed. He picked up the speed, thrusting more vigorously into her.

The squishing wet noise of their union was drowned out as her voice picked up and her face became red as she held herself back.

“Let it go, Tami. There’s no need to hold back.”

She cried out and flooded his balls with liquid as she sagged, falling off his cock. “But you haven’t gotten yours.” She panted.

“That’s fine. I’ll come next time.”

Tami had lost her shyness as she rolled over on the bed and licked her lips. “Men always like to hold my horns.”

Dar grinned. “Oh yeah? Do you like your horns held?”

She rolled onto her stomach and lifted herself off the bed, sliding gracefully to her knees as she looked up at him with her freckled face. Then she leaned forward, showing off her chest and opened her mouth to him. “Maybe.”

“You little minx.” Dar teased as he grabbed her horns. “You like it when I control your head like this?”

She slathered his cock with her tongue as soon as he brought her close, kissing and licking her own juices off of him. “Maybe. Maybe I like for someone else to be in control.”

Holding onto her horns, Dar pulled her onto his cock, only working a portion of him inside before she started having trouble but it was enough. “Use your hand on the base.” He started to push and pull her onto him as she wrapped his base in her hand. He was still sticky with her fluids.

He smiled down at her. She looked even more beautiful in the lingerie looking up at him as she took him in her mouth. The powder blue against her skin tone was beautiful, and the stockings made her seem even more subservient.

But most of all, her face was relaxed, lost in the moment and not over thinking it. 

Dar slid her up and down on him until he felt himself about to pop. “Cumming.”

Tami pulled herself off him and continued to pump his base as he shot ropes of his seed over her face and chest. Her finger came up and wiped away a glob on her chin before putting it in her mouth. “You taste good. Shame that I wasted it, but you said you can go more?”

“Happily. Let’s get you cleaned up and then try something else.” Dar pulled her up, kissing her. He could feel their dao companionship beginning to cement together and their dao paths intertwining.
