Soul Knight - Chapter 22 - ♥♥♥ - The Hero’s Reward (Patreon)

[Author note: Hey guys! Wanted to deliver this chapter, now that the book is complete (on my end). I have gone through edits, and made quite a few minor changes to the book for the amazon version. It's now ready for a professional editor, and my target launch date (give or take a week or two) is tentatively 3/15. I am debating publishing the last several chapters on patreon in advance here, to give Legendary/Mythic Supporters an extra 'bonus' readahead (but also no chapters for a week or two). I will now begin writing SK Book 2 + BS Book 6 in tandem, alternating writing each chapter or so. At any rate, enjoy this chapter that is late/out of order, I have shifted Chapter 21 to end with them getting into the bath, as opposed to going to the room - sorry for the confusion.]

Nick ran his fingers through his lover’s hair, soapy bubbles cleansing her soft silky hair. She moaned into his hands as his fingers scratched her scalp. “Mmm, that feels wonderful, hubby.”

The bath was large, like a jacuzzi. He decided to take full advantage of this, and spend their time taking care of one another.

He poured a bucket of water over it to rinse it, finishing cleaning her hair. Her cute, pretty face was all smiles, her gazing at him with affection as he toweled off her face and hair. Of course, they were both naked in the bath. He had let her take care of his cleaning first, and now, it was her turn.

“Let’s do these legs. I haven’t gotten to understand these. You climbed those trees so easily, I was really surprised.”

“Hehe, I can climb much better than most people think! But Kaya’s even better, when she’s transformed. She can climb down a tree upside down, full speed.”

Nick knelt in the bath in front of her, her sitting on a sort of stair at the edge of the tub. She offered her left leg, and he held on to it from underneath, marveling at it.

Already, he could see her thigh had even more musculature than before, the one floor and the trait she received having made a large difference in her body once again. “You are looking fantastic, Winny. Just one floor and that trait made a big change, like weeks of working out.”

Eirwen waggled her brows with a smile. “You like? I like what I’m seeing, too–seeing you in action gets me all hot and bothered, when I think about it.” She licked her lips as she looked up and down his body, and he could see her desire in her gaze.

He chuckled, and began soaping up her fur. Her hoofed foot came off her ankle at an odd angle, and almost looked like the result of a human’s foot within a high-heeled boot. Feeling her hoof, it was hard and thick on the outside, but spongy on the underneath on the inside.

Nick raised his brow at this. “Your skin is all spongy, here. It’s totally different from like, the sole of my foot.”

“That’s part of what makes me such a great climber! It’s the combination of the hard and soft. The soft and spongy part is almost like molding clay, sticking to most surfaces and conforming to their shape, giving me an excellent grip. Then, the outer boot, the hoof part, is hard, allowing me to get a grip on small edges and other harder surfaces, an interesting combination of pressure. When I combine with my human-like hands for a grip, I can climb just as good if not better than any sheep or goat, and they are often found high up in a tree’s branches, or on the top of a rocky mountain!”

He pushed into the spongy area, and she just looked at him with a fond smile. “I hardly feel anything on that flesh, it’s designed to step on nearly anything–even sharp rocks and pebbles.”

Nick decided to test this, pushing his thumbs and really digging in, trying to give her odd hooves a massage. He had an immense amount of strength, so his fingers went deeply into her spongy flesh.

She smiled. “Hmm, that feels alright, but there are very little nerves there–how about you move up a little bit? I wanted to ask you a few questions, so I can be a better…matchmaker. I promised I would try to find you even more wonderful wives, but I am not sure about your…” she tapped her lips, “desires and attractions. You don’t seem to mind my and Kaya’s bestial features, but many humans, even here on Orion, shy away from some beast girls. Is there a limit for you?”

Nick moved up her leg, massaging her sheep-like calves instead. She moaned into his strong hands, as he began both massaging and scratching her fur as he thought on his answer.

“I’m not sure how to best explain it, but as a man from Earth, I think as long as the more…central region of the woman is human-enough, I can still be attracted to them. If the girl’s face is covered in fur or scales or has what can be described as a muzzled jaw, I don’t think that’ll work for me.”

Eirwen hummed, as she enjoyed his attention with a smile. “Hmm, so Kaya in her bestial transformation is right out, huh? Any other…deal-breakers?”

Nick frowned in thought, as he began massaging suds into her other leg. “I think something like a centaur where her uh…lovemaking bits are at the back of their hindquarters is a bit much for me. It’d be too much like making love to a horse, and would be right out. It’d be the same if, for example, the girl’s…region was completely covered in fur or scales or something.”

Eirwen gave a sly smile. “Duly noted. But in that case, couldn’t we just shave her? I’m sure I can find many gals willing to do even that, for their lord, their hero.”

Nick snorted a laugh, before thinking on it. “I dunno, doesn’t that feel kinda sad? For you to have to remove a part of you, for your lover to be attracted? Feels like if they are going to be my lover for life, I need to be able to love all of them.”

Eirwen smiled. “I couldn’t agree more, hubby. That’s why we had this talk, and now, rest assured, I’ll make sure to match you up only with girls that can meet this…criteria. Now, that mirror match and the boss fight, you have truly begun the path of being a hero. That means, it is my duty, my pleasure, to give you your…hero’s reward.”

“Hero’s reward, is it? I have a feeling I’m going to like this, but what is that?”

Eirwen giggled and moved aside, soaps and suds dripping down her naked body. She motioned him to the step she had been sitting on, helping him sit a little higher, so his waist was no longer underwater.

She gave him a sly smile, one full of lust and desire, as her voice was dripping with seduction. “Why, what do you think a hero should be rewarded with? Fame, glory, money, power? What about when he has all that, and has no need for it? It’s my firm belief, and this largely comes from being a beastfolk, that a great way to motivate their man, is with loving women and pleasure.”

Eirwen wrapped her sudsy fingers around Nick’s already hardening cock, stroking it to full hardness. Her other hand teased his balls, her face with a lustful smile.

She continued, “Now, unfortunately you didn’t save a princess in a castle this time, but you did well to seduce our dear Kaya with your strength. It’ll be my job to make sure you are properly motivated, and that means I will always make sure to aid you in getting your hero’s reward, whether by helping make sure a girl lands in your bed, or by taking care of you myself. How does that sound?”

Nick cleared his throat. “Not so sure I like you simplifying my desires down to a single thing, but when you’re right, you’re right. I don’t see me turning down more girls in our bed, as long as they are mine.”

She gave him a husky chuckle, as she straddled his legs, sitting on his lap. She kissed him on the lips, the sensation of her soft lips creating a thrum in his chest. The passion from their kiss earlier quickly returned, their lips and tongues searching for one another.

Nick wrapped his arms around his smaller beastfolk wife as he continued kissing her lips. Her breathing picked up as Nick grabbed her firm breasts full of suds, massaging her chest.

Eirwen wrapped her hands around his neck, as the passionate kiss deepened. She ground her pussy on his erection, her wetness mixing with the warm water and suds.

She pulled back from their kiss, breathless. “And yours they shall be. A strong hero like you should have all the women and pleasure he desires, and I can see you like the chase, too. I’ll try to aid you but make sure things feel…earned, if I can.”

Eirwen turned around, her ass facing him as her feet stood on the stairs on his sides. His cock throbbed as he saw her now thicker thighs, her ass firm and rounder from the essence as she squatted down toward him.

She now had a sexy, heart shaped ass to go along with her narrow waist, and she looked over her shoulder.

“Now, like I said, I love the idea that I can now take good care of you. You can move if you like, but I would love to try doing all the work, so you just enjoy your…reward.”

Nick was already as hard as a rock, and she didn’t even have to angle his cock as she lowered herself. He entered her folds as her waist moved toward his slowly, her moaning as her tightness enveloped his member.

She moaned. “Ohh wow,” she gave a throaty chuckle, “this is like a reward for me too.”

Her wetness flooded his cock as her body shook, her tightness grasping his thick member. She had to raise herself up and lower her body down more than once, easing him into her gripping pussy.

Eirwen’s tail flickered and swayed slowly, and he groped her firm ass.

Her breaths came in heavily, as she worked her waist up and down his length. “Mmm, you like, hubby? It’s like, and is, my first time, all over again. Almost there–soon you’ll be all the way inside me.”

In one final push, she let all her wait down until her ass met his waist, her pussy fully engulfing his cock. Her pussy pulsed and rippled all along his length, as her body shook.

Having reached the base, her movements became more fervent and rapid. Nick guided her pace lightly, but let her do all the work as she desired. Her moans increased as he played with her nipples, her back up against his chest as she bounced up and down his length, her ass smacking against his thighs with every down stroke.

“Does it feel good, hubby? Your reward? You can have it…any time you want. It’s…all yours.”

“You’re doing great, Winny. Your tight little pussy feels so good.”

She sighed as her pussy shook, clamping tightly on his cock. She froze for a brief moment, but continued her movements, focused on his pleasure.

Her movements sped up, her moans echoing off the walls of the small room. She slowed to a stop, his cock delightfully snug in her pussy’s embrace. She leaned back and whispered, “You know what else is fun? Kaya can probably hear us enjoying ourselves in here. I bet she’s filled with need, right now. That if you just opened her door–ahhn!”

Nick lifted Eirwen slightly by putting his hands underneath her knees, and began moving his own hips, fucking into her tight entrance. With his strength, his sheep girl now felt like the weight of a pillow in his arms.

Carrying her he felt no strain at all, so he began lifting her up and down on his cock, her pussy clamping rhythmically on his member. “F-Fuck, that’s so good–ahn–shit, I’m going to cum again!”

Nick’s movement only sped up, her arousal covering his pelvis. Her moans continued as he fucked her tight pussy, Eirwen’s entire body shaking as her pussy was filled to the brim repeatedly. He stood up as he continued to fuck her faster, his own need reaching his peak.

Their souls thrummed as his pleasure rose, Eirwen’s moans and pleas to fill her pussy entering his ears. Her words were just incoherent babbling at this point, and he was quick to fulfil her request not long after.

With a grunt, his cum filled her tight entrance as her pussy convulsed and milked the seed from his member.

Catching her breath, Eirwen gave a pleased sigh as Nick let her hoofed feet onto the stair of the bath again, his cock falling out of her tight pussy.

“Hehe, you couldn’t wait to finish, huh? But that’s okay, too.”

He spun her around and pulled her to him, bending down to kiss her on the lips. “Your reward was great. I’d fight another hammerhead rhino for it if I had to.”

She hummed. “Hmm? But we’re not done, yet.” Eirwen guided him to sit down once more, before she wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him again. Her lips and tongue were filled with erotic desire, a clear want to entice and fill him with need. She kissed down his chest as her body slid slowly into the warm water, his cock just barely above it.

Eirwen began to kiss and lick his soft member, her eyes meeting his and filled with affection. “I wanted to practice this, some more.” She gave him a sly smile, as she asked, “Will you teach me to please you, again?”

His cock started to surge at her efforts, her kissing and licking of his cock reigniting his desire. It wasn’t long before she could began to grasp and massage his length with her hands, mixing the sensations just as he had taught her before. Groaning at her efforts, Nick ran his fingers through her soft, wet hair.

This only emboldened her, Eirwen humming as she took the tip into her mouth. Swirling her tongue, she massaged the length with her hand, her delicate fingers adding pleasant sensations along his member.

Her hand reached between her thighs once more, and her movements began speeding up with her own arousal. She took more of his cock into her mouth with each bob of her head, the wet heat of her mouth providing Nick with pleasure.

But more than the pleasure, he felt the love and desire Eirwen had for him. She wanted to fill her lover with desire and enjoyment, and so she was working hard to pleasure him.

Eirwen’s hand continued to massage his length, his girth too much to fit in her throat easily. Her moans filled the small room once more, as her own need rose.

Grunting, his hands landed on her horns, as his desire was getting close to his peak. Her eyes looked at him in question, but filled with her own wanton pleasure.

He guided his cock into her throat, as he pulled on her horns. Groaning as he entered her tight entrance, he began fucking her mouth, the tight wetness of her throat massaging his length. Using her horns, he fucked her face gently at first, but began to pick up speed as she moaned.

Nick felt a desire to dominate, to use her mouth and claim her just like he did her body. He fucked her mouth faster as she moaned, her body convulsing as she fingered her clit underneath the water.

Nick quickly reached his peak once again as he pulled her face toward his pelvis repeatedly, his movements speeding up as he was filled with desire. Something primal seemed to drive him, and for a moment, it was like he didn’t care that this might not be comfortable for her. She was his, and he knew that she wanted nothing more than to bring him pleasure–so he would take what was his.

Eirwen’s eyes watered as she began to shake in her own orgasm, her throat not prepared for his cock, or his sudden drive to take control and fuck her throat. But despite struggling with his member, if anything, she pushed her face along with his efforts to pull her to further engulf his cock, to bring him a greater pleasure.

Seeing his wife increase her efforts drove him wild, his grip on her horns becoming tighter. He fucked her face even more vigorously, her lips reaching even closer to his pelvis, her eyes meeting his, watching his desire.

Nick grunted, and filled her throat with his seed. Eirwen began to choke and cough, and he quickly pulled out as his next spurt of cum splashed against her face.

Taking a moment to catch her breath, Eirwen wiped the tears and spend from her face, washing them off with water. “Hehe, you enjoyed that, huh? What was that near the end, the air around you seemed to change when you…grabbed my horns–oh!”

Nick lifted her out of the water, and she leaned against his chest and wrapped her hands around his neck. His cock remained hard this time, and he slotted it right into her entrance.

“Wha–ahn–has gotten into you?”

Nick didn’t answer, as he carried her to and began to fuck her against the bathroom wall. He knew Kaya was on the other side, and that drove him even wilder.

His hips thrust his hard cock deep within her tight pussy with each movement, her weight delightfully causing her walls to feel even tighter. Lifting her up and down as his hips met hers, rivulets of her desire dripped down where the two met, her moans becoming even louder.

Some kind of beast within him had been awakened, and he wasn’t sure he understood what was happening. But he knew that his wife was enjoying it plenty, Eirwen more than willing to submit to his sudden need.

However, he could sense she was a little worried. Despite his want to continue pounding into her, he slowed down, and met her eyes. Using one hand, he caressed her flushed face. “Sorry… suddenly, I just, felt like I couldn’t control my…need.”

Eirwen started moving her own hips, tightening her pussy on his length. She gave him a beaming smile. “But you’re enjoying it, right? So am I, so don’t worry about it. We’ll talk about it later.”

Nick continued to fuck her hard, her moans getting louder as he increased his speed. As little as she could move held up against the wall, he could tell she did her best to meet his thrusts. Part of his desire was to dominate his lovely sheep wife, but he could feel his desire to dominate another–his future wife, on the other side of the wall.

Her cunt shook and spasmed as he fucked her, her walls rippling all along his length. His movements sped up and he growled with need, her body shaking in orgasm. Each thrust filled her tight pussy all the way to her cervix, him pounding deep within her entrance.

Eirwen’s eyes were unfocused, her body filled with pleasure. Nick hadn’t slowed down at any point, continuing to fuck her from orgasm to orgasm. Something about her beastfolk body loved his desire to dominate just as much as he enjoyed it on his side, and her pussy’s tightness and movements brought him close to his peak.

Her breaths were, heavy, her moaning. “Ahn, fuck–fill my pussy, please–I want it!”

Nick’s hips were a blur, as he grunted, and released his seed into her willing pussy. Rivulets of cum immediately drained down her thighs, her own wetness long-since flooding from her pussy.

Eirwen was breathless. “W-wow. That was…amazing. I don’t know what started that, but…” Nick let her down, and she cast her new spell on herself, Rejuvenate.

She rubbed her pelvis. “My poor little pussy, you really messed me up. Let’s clean up again real quick?” She changed her voice to a whisper. “Or wait, would you like to keep my smell on you? You seemed to really like the idea about Kaya being able to hear us.”

Nick nodded, and responded in a whisper. “I think that’s what set me off. Still, it’s a little gross–let’s clean ourselves a bit, and maybe…when we wake up, you can add a bit of your scent with a little more fun…”

Eirwen giggled. “I like that idea!”

They cleaned up, which required quite a bit of work to brush her curly hair. Nick was surprised when there was a sort of hair dryer, a fixture on the wall, that blew air out in a steady breeze when activated. It was like the air dryers in most public bathrooms on Earth, but less violently loud and without much heat.

Dried and cleaned off, they went back to their private room and got into the bed together. The simple room wasn’t anything special, but being under the covers with his loving wife in his arms brought him a special contentment.

She had a dreamy smile on her lips, a radiant glow to her now-dry hair and her clean skin.

Eirwen eventually broke the silence, “That was a surprise, but not an unwelcome one. Maybe that was your Monstrosity? In the dream world, your mind wasn’t yet aware of it, it not being a perfect copy of your body. I will make sure to increase the magic for next time, to try to compensate in the dream a bit better for what you might not know.”

Nick raised his brow. “You can do that?”

Eirwen nodded. “With enough magic, I should be able to do nearly anything–even allow you to train with essence in the dream world. While dream magic is a magic of the mind, it is heavily linked to the soul, too. It’s my talents with both that enable me to accomplish dream magic in the first place.”

Nick hummed. “That’s kind of cool, I wonder if I can learn it. It was a little on the strange side, but it felt good enough, that’s for sure.”

She chuckled. “It might be possible for you to learn it, but my dreamweaver trait is largely what makes it easy and effective for me. As for it feeling good, It really did! Now that we know about it, I’m sure we can both explore it. You were still in control, so this should be fun!”

Eirwen snuggled up against him tightly, her curly soft hair nuzzling his shoulder and neck. Her odd horns were large and forced her to lay mostly on her back or angled up while on her side, but they didn’t seem to bother her at all.

They spent time kissing and hugging, and Nick just luxuriated in being close with his lover, and in a real bed. He fell asleep with her in his arms, Eirwen the small spoon to his large.
