Chapter 130 - 130 – The River
Lirian filled an ordinary cup with water, by the end he didn't have enough credits to get any fancy goblets or eating utensils, it was just an ordinary cup.
He turned to face Edith who was standing barely even a quarter of an inch away from him, "I thought that you were going to burn a hole through me with the way you were staring," he whispered in her ear as he offered her a cup of water.
Edith tossed the cup aside and closed the last bit of room between them before jumping on to him and attacking his face with her lips.
A struggle of lips, tongues and saliva occurred in crazed passion, as Lirian raised her up firmly, grabbing her by the ass and placed her on the table as he contested her tongues advances.
It went on for many minutes as they both tried to push their tongues as far into the others throat as possible, and Lirian was pleasantly surprised by the length of her tongue.
"I've been dying to do that all day," she said pulling away from him breathlessly.
"I don't think the others would mind all that much if we made out in front of them," Lirian suggested with a tempting smile.
"No, not at all," Edith retorted shaking her head, "What kind of a lady would I be if I were to do such things in public," she blushed at the thought, as things were the whole hickeys on her neck incident was already bad for her reputation.
"You'd be my lady," Lirian smiled widely taking her hand and planting a very long and sensual kiss on the back of her hand, like an extremely overly eager gentleman.
Edith felt her entire body shiver, and her skin became filled with goose bumps as she felt the caress of Lirians warm tongue on her skin and his steaming hot breath, that seemed capable of melting her entire body.
She felt even more giddy as he passionately made his way up her arm, past her elbow where it was somehow very ticklish, onto her shoulder and he slowly bought his tongue up her neck.
She tilted her head back and before she even realised it her eyes were rolling backwards in their sockets as she experiences unbelievable ecstasy.
Edith recognised the sensation that was about to happen, and panicked, she pushed Lirian back but was surprised to see that he didn't move far because her legs were already tightly wrapped around his waist.
'I don't remember doing that,' she thought in a panic as she felt Lirians erection pressing hard against her wet thighs through their clothes which made her even more embarrassed.
"I remember saying no sex until I was ready," she said in a very high-pitched voice.
"You seem pretty ready," Lirian replied as he stroked the inside of her juicy thighs the fabric on her uniform was completely wet, ", and you were the one that wrapped her legs around me," he defended himself.
"I didn't know what I was doing!" she cried out, "You did that thing with your tongue and I almost…" she went completely red as she couldn't bring herself to finish the that sentence, "It's all your fault that I couldn't think straight for a few seconds there!" she pouted indignantly with a burning hot face.
"How are you even so good at doing that we didn't even do anything much, and I was ready to…to…to…urgh," she wanted to scream.
'It isn't fair, boys are supposed to be the ones that finish in a few seconds,' she thought stomping her foot.
Lirian thought about her question about why he was so good at it but he felt he didn't have a good answer, 'I doubt that it will romantic if I told her that I learned every sensitive muscle in a persons body by torturing them.'
"You were ready to what?" Lirian teased in his most innocent voice, he loved it when she lost her composure like this.
"Y-y-y-you know what!" she cried out with actual tears forming in the corners of her eyes, she turned around and got ready to storm out.
But Lirian quickly caught her from behind and hugged her tightly, "Alright I'm sorry," he said trying to hold back his laughter, but he failed at it miserably.
"No more fooling around for the night, we can just stay like this and talk like we always do, only it won't be on a projection," he whispered softly into her ear and sunk to his knees with her sitting on his lap.
Edith smiled, it would be nice to talk in person, instead of over a projection, she snuggled up against him until she made herself comfortable and held his arms that were wrapped around her tightly.
"What do you want to speak about?" she turned her head to glance at him from the corner of her eye and asked in a sly and seductive voice.
"It's when you speak like that, that I won't be able to control myself," Lirian complained he loosened his hug around her and pretended that he'd let her go, if she wanted him to keep his promise, she couldn't go around doing things to tempt him.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry," she giggled enjoying her pay back and grabbed his hands not allowing him to take them off her.
The night went on with them talking happily for a few hours.
It was a night they would always remember; it was the first night they spent together, they sat in each other's arms, and simply spoke until the sun came up, in their city of tents, he was like the king, and she was his queen.
The march continued smoothly and three days later Lirian heard the sound of gushing water sweeping across rocky shores.
At the same time a few scouting parties came rushing back on their horses to deliver the news.
Just as Karen was about to deliver the news she received from the other psychics Lirian beat her to.
"We've reached the river," he said with a smile, she didn't even know how he already knew, but by now she knew that it was pointless to try to understand him.
"Yes, the scouts found it three miles to the east," she confirmed and soon the three thousand students were switching their course and heading in the true east direction.
It was the fastest three miles they had covered since the expedition begun.
It was just a little past noon when they reached and the sounds of people splashing in the water could be heard loudly as well as the laughter of the boys and girls that decided to play around in the water.
Lirian unmounted his horse and found a nice big tree.
Some of the people were wondering what he was doing when he suddenly pulled the katana from his side and in one quick fluid motion they heard its sharp ringing as it left the scabbard and then they blinked and it was back in the scabbard.
Then a slight rumbling sound filled their ears as the tree came toppling down with a loud and deafening crunch, raising up clouds of dust.
Lirian hopped on to the cleanly sliced tree stump, with all eyes completely focused on him, his actions had brought all the laughter and the games to a standstill.
"By now you all should know that I love being the bad guy, so I'll only say this once, get back in line and move forward, it's only noon and we don't have any time to lose, we have a schedule to keep up with, if you have a problem, then you and this generous tree will share the same fate," he smiled grimly at all of them with his hand wrapped tightly around the katana, it looked as if he was eager to use his sword on someone.
"And all of you that are already in the water, you'll be on toilet cleaning duty for the next three days," Lirian found that toilet cleaning duty was the most dreaded by all the students, so it became the go to punishment for everyone.
He hopped of from the stump and mounted his horse again as the students in the water shot him resentful looks.
Media came next to him and began to argue with him in whispered tones, and after a few minutes of what looked like a heated argument she turned around to face everyone.
"We'll be stopping an hour earlier than usual so everyone can enjoy themselves in the river for a while before we set up," her words were greeted by boomed applause and students began shouting words of thanks to her.
A while later Media came back to his side, "Are you sure it's a good idea to waste an hour?" she asked.
"We are ahead of our schedule by a few hours, despite leaving late," Lirian answered her, it was mainly due to the good weather they had over the past few days it wasn't very hot and they were traveling on flat plains, so they had a really good speed of traveling.
"Besides they could all use a short break before the real trouble starts."
