It's been an hour since Aron and Julia had been on the move. Julia had expertly maneuvered through the forest, such that they never came across any powerful beast. From time to time, Julia will check for any marks on the trees to see if they were clear of the territories of any major beast.
Much to the excitement of Aron, she would share her knowledge with him, on how they could traverse these dangerous terrains with minimal chance of getting exposed. "Even though there are no serious threats in these outer areas of the woods, you should always keep your ears open. Most of the beast would announce their territorial claims by the medium of sound."
"Make sure you don't carry food on you. You can keep it in a space ring but if you lack that then it's always advised not to attract any attention towards yourselves. This should be common sense but believe me, most of the people are attacked for this very reason, so always keep this in mind."
Aron was pecking his head all the way, grasping all her instructions. He felt very lucky that Julia went out of her way to explain all this to him. There was only a single problem that was not allowing him to maintain complete focus on her voice.
As Julia moved ahead Aron's gaze would reportedly fall on her swaying buttocks. Though her curves were not prominent as a mature woman's, the fact that he had his release almost three days back, made it virtually impossible for him to move his gaze away.
"The best pointer that can help you check if you have accidentally stepped into a beast's lair is the smell of their excrement. Most of them will mark their territory, to keep their unsuspecting brethren away." Julia had no idea that her butt was getting visually violated by a slave at the moment. Oblivious to the boy, she kept her monologue going.
"Hmm.. are you listening boy?" It's been a long time since the boy responded to her and thus Julia turned around to check on him, only to find him staring at her with a stupid smile.
"What happened? Why were you not responding?" Aron scratched his head in embarrassment. "Haha... I was left speechless by generosity. I don't know how I can thank you for all this knowledge."
Julia made faces at him before walking ahead. "Huh.. trying to return the favor? Just make sure you don't die out here. That will be the biggest payback for me." Aron clicked his tongue, having averted the disaster of being found out peeking at the butt of a noble girl.

"Hmm.." Kyla stretched her limbs after waking up from a satisfying sleep. The bed was not very enjoyable as it lacked the specific scent of the boy but the sleep was peaceful nonetheless.
Sitting up she found another girl whose body was revealed by her actions. Bright peachy hair cascaded all over her body as she slept in a deep sleep. Kyla recalled the last night when Hera came to ask her if they could sleep together.
Looks like this girl was not used to sleeping alone. Kyla readily agreed to the proposal and that's how the girls ended up cuddling together the whole night. "Miss Hera, it's morning. Please wake up." Not long after the partially naked girl sat back up, rubbing her eyes.
Together they prepared the breakfast before making their way to the lake to take a bath. Kyla was a girl, so Hera didn't have as many qualms about getting naked in front of her.
"Should I wash your back, Miss Hera?" Though a bit hesitant Hera ultimately allowed the girl to rub her back. The two girls chatted for a while. Mostly it was Kyla initiating a discussion with her.
"Ahem.. should I ask you something about Aron, Kyla?" The girl behind her back was nonchalant about her request. She had seen Hera's growing closeness with Aron over these past few days. But maybe because Hera lacked the womanly charms or her untainted soul, she didn't make her feel threatened with regards to her boy, as opposed to a certain girl with a big chest.
"Yeah, why not. You can ask me anything." Getting a positive response from Kyla, she gathered all the courage that she could before finally forcing the words out of her throat.
"Ahem... I wanted to ask you... like... what type of girls.. does Aron likes. I mean, I got nothing to do with it but you see, I have never been with a boy. So his likes would give me a general idea about what are the preferences of the opposite gender." She tried her best to hide her intentions but Kyla was a much more experienced lady and can see right through the facade.
She can only remorse for the girl's choice. It will be a huge uphill task for her to ever seduce Aron with a body like that. Not wanting to keep the girl under any illusion, she decided to come clean.
"Hmm.. let me think. Although he tries his best to hide it but having known him for over half a year now, it's very easy to guess his preferences." Hera's heart jerked in excitement. It looked like she successfully deceived the girl and what's more, she even had the answers to her questions.
"He is someone who likes everything big haha.. that brat, he acts like no one knows that he likes grown women huh... I would go as far as to say that he totally lacks any interest in girls his age." Her remarks sent Hera's heart tumbling.
"What exactly do you mean by grown women?" Aware that she was clutching at the end of the straws, she still wanted a confirmation.
"I mean mature woman. You know, like those who already have a child. I have seen him staring lustfully at those types of ladies." Hera had not yet turned around, asking her question while facing the horizon.
"What about girls his age? Are you telling me that he is not interested in them?" She framed her sentences like all of this was for research purposes, making Kyla chuckle in her heart.
"Nothing. I bet he can't even get it up with those girls hehe... I am not sure if he is the best boy to take as an example. Believe me, he is a total outlier." Hera wanted to argue against the suggested proposition, having seen Hestia sucking on his erect cock twice already.
Nevertheless, once she recalled those massive tits sported by her friend and then looking down at her non-existent chest, she was in no mood to argue. Now she was regretting her decision to question Kyla at all. "Hmm. Let's return. I guess we are already late."
Kyla watched a depressed Hera walk out of water lake water with heavy footsteps. She sighed in her heart, having only spoken the truth. It was for her own good to not get too attached to Aron.

"We are here!" Aron rapidly tore his gaze away from Julia's swaying butt. "Ahem.. did we?" He can't make any sense of her words. All he could see ahead of them were large bushes. Stepping beside the girl he asked her with a confused expression. "Is there supposed to be a hidden passageway, somewhere?" His eyes darted all over, trying to look for an entry.
Julia chuckled at his oblivious face. "Haha... it's right in front of us. You can't see?" Was this girl messing with him? Where were the herbs? Aron sidestepped the girl trying to search behind the bush with his own two hands.
He shoved aside the lush bush to find nothing but another layer of bushes. "Ahem... Is there a chance that you have brought us to the wrong place, Julia?"
The blonde only shook her head with a perpetual smile on her face. "It's right in front of you. You are just not thorough enough." This girl was getting on his nerves. Should he dig up the earth to locate these 'special' herbs?
His hands swiped around furiously trying to see if there were really any plants at the roots of the bushes. "That was funny indeed, Miss Jul... iaaaaaa!!" One wrong step and Aron felt a loss of weight as his body tumbled down.
Passing through the lush vegetation he found himself staring down a cliff. Fortunately, a soft hand had grabbed his own, saving him from the fall to his doom. Aron's heart stopped anticipating the height at which he hung. A fall from his position could easily have been deadly.
"Haha.. haha... I am so sorry. I just wanted to mess with you a bit. Please don't mind hehe... Truthfully speaking I expected a much graver reaction." Julia pulled him up amid a peal of bell-like laughter. Aron had an ugly expression, massaging his chest to calm his pounding heart.
"That was quite overboard Miss Julia. Please refrain from these pranks, my heart is not strong enough to take this." His shaky voice-only elicited more laughter from the girl. Was this the very first time Aron had watched her in such a jovial mood? Most of the time she displays a serious personality, owing to the leadership role she enjoys.
"Hmm. Yes, this was the very last time." Julia grinned with a happy smile on her face. They had been traveling for a full day and correspondingly their moods had become sober. Also, her friends were not around and hence she can't help but have some fun. No one was here to judge her actions.
Aron gave a nod. Her cheerful mood had affected even him and his lips morphed in a smile. Looking back down the cliff, he found the large patch of flat land littered with multi-colored flowers and herbs. This must be the location she had been talking about.
Observing all around he found the land surrounded by cliffs on all sides and the thick vegetations made sure that this place was perfectly hidden away unless someone surveyed it from the air of course. The intact plants at the end of the cliff meant that whoever had been collecting the herbs, missed this plot.

"Huuuu.." A cool breeze blew past Aron despite the hot afternoon sun. Standing in the center of the flower garden he can't help but fill his lungs with the refreshing scent of the plants all around him. Only a single breathe seemed to have suppressed the muscle strain from walking all day long.
Julia had come prepared and the couple had descended with the help of the ropes pulled out from her space ring. They were pressed for time otherwise Aron would have preferred a small nap under the sun. Bending down he began identifying only the required plants and storing them in his bag.
"Hmm?" Aron found a small mushroom growing under a flowery bush. Recalling the pictures from the book he recognized it and went ahead to pluck it off. His hand had not even touched it when he was alarmed by a loud shout.
"Wait!!" Julia had been approaching to check on the boy when she coincidently discovered the mushroom. Aron had been stunned by her call and had stopped his hand right before touching the mold.
Julia kneeled beside him, slapping his hands away. "Don't touch it. It might look similar but this is not what we are looking for." The boy watched keenly as she took out her handkerchief and uprooted the mushroom, making sure to not come in contact with it directly.
It was carefully packed and placed in her ring. "Huff.. thankfully you didn't touch it. It would have been disastrous." "What was it, exactly? Was it poisonous?" Julia wiped the sweat off her forehead and shook her head. "No, much more dangerous than that. It acts as a very strong aphrodisiac agent. Even a simple contact with the skin is enough to cause intense arousal that can last many hours."
