Before being challenged by Yara, Rina was thinking of giving Yara just a brief kiss on the corner of her mouth to show that she was open to the idea of them getting closer to each other. This wasn't because she felt uncomfortable around Yara, whom she no longer saw as an extremely unreasonable person, but because Rina wasn't the type to make quick moves in a new relationship; probably, if Lucy hadn't taken the initiative to kiss her, the two of them would still only be holding hands.
However, seeing Yara so proud, as if everything was under her control, really got on her nerves. Didn't Yara know the state she was in? She had just stopped panting. Where did Yara get so much confidence that she could dominate her?
So, Rina set aside any trace of hesitation, and as soon as she got close to Yara, she attacked her lips, pressing Yara's head towards her with one hand.
"Wait a minute...", Yara tried to interrupt, turning her head to the side to take a deep breath. She hadn't expected Rina to be so aggressive from the start, so she hadn't properly prepared for such an intense kiss.
But Rina, who remained with her face close to Yara's, kissing and licking the corner of her mouth, allowed her only about five seconds of respite before she forcibly turned her head back and sealed her lips again.
Unlike when she kissed Lucy, Yara didn't stay on the defensive and tried her hardest to make Rina submit, even biting her lips occasionally to weaken her defense, or her tongue, to quell her attack. However, being unaccustomed to such moves, both her jaw and tongue grew tired after about a minute of intense kissing, so in the end, she had to accept defeat again, letting Rina explore her entire mouth at will. The only difference was that because Rina was slightly taller and Yara had to tilt her face upward, most of their mixed saliva dripped down Yara's throat, forcing her to swallow almost every five seconds to avoid choking.
As for Rina, it could be said that she was starting to see Yara from Lucy's perspective; it was impossible not to be fascinated when kissing such a beautiful young woman as Yara. Although at first, her motivation was the desire to put Yara in her place, the longer she spent kissing her, the more excitement became her driving force, making her increasingly addicted to Yara's mouth. Moreover, the fact that she kept encountering traces of Lucy's taste, first on Yara's lips and later inside her mouth, made Rina feel like kissing Yara was a kind of transcendent experience that united all three of them, beginning to no longer perceive Yara as an obstacle to the development of her relationship with Lucy.
At the same time, Rina had to admit to herself that she was very attracted to Yara, especially seeing how she melted under her kiss. Although she wasn't as obsessed with beauty as Lucy, Rina couldn't get enough of Yara's seductive expression, her heartbeat quickening with every passing moment.
In conclusion, Rina really enjoyed kissing Yara and even started to think that maybe it was a good thing Yara had joined them.
"Damn, they're incredibly hot...I haven't seen a kiss this passionate even in Japanese lesbian porn films...", Lucy thought to herself as she admired the two from less than a meter away, barely resisting the temptation to join them; it wouldn't have been polite to interrupt Rina, considering that she had allowed her to kiss Yara as much as she wanted.
Seeing the force with which Rina's lips moved and how her powerful tongue distorted Yara's cheeks from the inside, Lucy suspected that even she wouldn't have withstood her attack, the mouth of a determined lioness being too fierce.
"You've learned well, my disciple...", Lucy mentally praised Rina. She thought she might have to complete Yara's training sooner than planned, as it would be a shame not to use Rina's tongue to its full potential. Well, it wasn't her fault that her mind was filled with dirty thoughts; what was happening in front of her was extremely stimulating. Lucy's panties were so wet that she intended to use a cleaning potion once things calmed down.
Uninterrupted by anyone, Rina kissed Yara until she went limp in her arms. Judging by the tenderness in her eyes after their lips parted, it was quite clear that Rina no longer harbored any negative feelings toward Yara.
This wasn't surprising if you were familiar with lionkins, as once they were willing to enter a relationship with someone, they quickly began to become very attached to that person, starting to perceive them as a family member. Moreover, physical intimacy greatly accelerated this process.
"How was it, Rina? Isn't Yara delicious?", Lucy asked, hugging both of them. Seeing the saliva dripping from Yara's open mouth as she struggled to breathe, Lucy couldn't resist licking Yara's face again.
"....Yes....", Rina had to agree, not wanting to seem hypocritical. Who would kiss someone for so long if they didn't actually enjoy it a lot?
"But I think... you were... Slurp!... A bit too aggressive...", said Lucy as she continued to lick Yara's face clean. "You don't have to treat kissing like a battle... Well, maybe it's partly my fault... Slurp!... Because every time I kissed you, I got carried away... Anyway, kissing is even more enjoyable... mmm... when both people involved aim to make the other feel as good as possible... But don't worry... Slurp!... I'll fix my mistake... I'll guide you on the right path...", Lucy continued to advise Rina and Yara between licks.
Both Rina and Yara were a bit confused after hearing Lucy's words. Was kissing really that complicated? They thought that it was enough to just follow your instincts when kissing someone.
Moreover, seeing the desire in Lucy's eyes, they couldn't help but wonder if she wasn't just looking for an excuse to kiss them as often as possible.
"So, how about we have a short lesson right now? I think it would be best to start with you, Rina... You seem to be in better shape...", Lucy suggested, stopping from licking Yara's face, her words making both Rina and Yara think that they might be right.
"...Alright...", Rina agreed, though she didn't quite understand why Lucy kept insisting on the whole story about learning the correct way to kiss. She had no intention of refusing Lucy when she wanted to kiss her anyway.
"Let's begin then. Try to imitate my movements...", said Lucy, trying to maintain a professional attitude and not let her desire take control, kind of a sexy teacher.
"Yara, watch closely too...", Lucy then addressed Yara, whom they both continued to embrace with one arm.
Yara thought Lucy was just being playful since she had noticed from her interactions with Lucy that she had a tendency to put on a show. However, she found it quite exciting to watch them kiss from such a close distance, just a few handbreadths away, so she had no problem playing along and nodded in agreement.
Next, Lucy brought her face very close to Rina's, letting her warm breath envelop Rina's lips for about 10 seconds to heighten their sensitivity. Then, she began giving Rina short kisses on the lips, occasionally sucking and gently biting her lips, encouraging Rina to do the same by placing one of her lips between her teeth; in those moments, Rina was very eager to imitate her.
To prevent the kiss from becoming too intense, Lucy slightly parted her lips from Rina's and began teasing her with her tongue, licking her lips or sliding it between her teeth and lips, only to then hold her tongue just 2-3 centimeters away from Rina's lips to tempt her to join in.
Understanding what Lucy wanted from her, Rina stuck out her tongue and pressed it against Lucy's, and the two began a dance that was sometimes slow, with one of them simply licking the surface of the other's tongue, and sometimes very agile, with the two tongues caught in circular motion, and occasionally involving their lips and teeth, which increased the amount of saliva exchanged between them.
Attracted by the saliva dripping from Rina's tongue, Lucy captured Rina's tongue between her lips and began sucking it eagerly, like a desert wanderer savoring the morning dew from a cold blade, before pulling it completely into her mouth as a reward, letting Rina do as she pleased there.
After spending some time serving Rina's tongue, Lucy's tongue began guiding Rina's tongue back home, but once inside Rina's mouth, it didn't seem to intend to leave anytime soon, as it began exploring every corner at will, only to then invite Rina's tongue out to dance with it again.
This led to many such reciprocal visits until Lucy and Rina had more of the other's saliva in their mouths than their own, and the threads of saliva that escaped between their lips formed something resembling a spider web in the grass at their feet.
"Wow...", Rina exclaimed after their lips parted, the state of euphoria she felt at that moment being hard to describe in words. A wild kiss might be very exciting and make you feel great, but in the end, it left you feeling a little empty and with a desire to escalate things, not as fulfilled as with the method Lucy had just taught her, which made the kiss have a much greater emotional charge.
"Mmm... I see you liked it...", Lucy said after slurping up the thread of saliva that still connected their lips. She was extremely satisfied with how well Rina had cooperated.
"Now it's your turn, Yara. Try to put into practice what you've seen...", Lucy turned her attention to Yara, who seemed very eager to experience such a kiss herself. Yara realized that since felinekins had stronger jaws and tongues than other human species, it was almost impossible to dominate them during a kiss, so her only chance to explore Lucy's and Rina's mouths was if her tongue was willingly let inside.
Lucy didn't make Yara wait long and began giving her the same treatment she had given Rina, but this time things didn't go perfectly, as Yara was a bit too enthusiastic when her tongue first entered Lucy's mouth, almost making Lucy choke. However, Lucy didn't scold her because she understood that Yara was a bit frustrated from being dominated by both her and Rina, as she was used to being the one on top.
After Lucy and Yara's lips parted, Lucy encouraged Rina and Yara to kiss each other again, putting into practice what they had learned, hoping that a kiss full of care and tenderness would help them understand each other better and build more trust between them.
However, watching the two kiss from just a few handbreadths away was too stimulating for Lucy, and she couldn't resist for long before joining them. In the end, they shared a passionate three-way kiss, where each of them experienced for the first time what it was like to taste two pairs of very juicy lips at the same time, to have their tongue sucked from both sides and many other extremely erotic and wet things involving lips and tongues.
"...That was... fantastic...", Lucy managed to say between gasps after they separated, the eroticism of the moment being too much for her to bear. Lucy had to make a great effort not to let her sexual excitement take control and not to try to take things further, and from what she could tell from the longing looks of Rina and Yara, that was pretty much their situation too.
In the end, she suggested they open the cans of cola they had to celebrate the beginning of their relationship, hoping that drinking something very tasty and cold would help them cool down.
................
However, about 10 kilometers away from the three where the Marquis Olsen's son and the three men in his service were resting, the situation was far from harmonious.
"Damn it, it's been over two hours. Why the hell hasn't she returned?", Marquis Olsen's son began shouting again, unable to go even five minutes without cursing Silas and Yara, who had left him waiting like a fool without any sign.
In reality, only an hour had passed since Yara had left, but for the Marquis Olsen's son, as for most people, time seemed to pass much more slowly when waiting for something. Nevertheless, none of the three men accompanying him dared to correct him, fearing that their boss's anger might be directed at them.
"Damn those useless pointy-eared fools. Elite bodyguards? Two good-for-nothings...I'd stick my dick in their big ears...", he continued to berate the two dark elves, and didn't stop until his throat was dry again.
"Young master, should we perhaps return? If those two have been captured, we might be in danger...," one of the subordinates suggested cautiously while the Marquis Olsen's son paused to drink water, not out of any sense of duty, but because he feared for his life at that moment.
"And what am I supposed to tell my father when he asks what happened to the mercenaries he sent after the lionkins? If I have no idea what happened, I wouldn't be surprised if he blamed me for his plans not working out…" the Marquis Olsen's son replied bitterly to his subordinate. Seeing how the situation had evolved, he regretted letting his carnal desires lead him to convince his father to let him participate in inspecting the captured lionkins, just so he could select 2 or 3 lionkin girls to become his sex slaves.
But he couldn't deny that his subordinate wasn't speaking nonsense; the truth was that they were indeed in a dangerous situation, so he had to quickly find a way to discover what had happened and avoid getting into a confrontation himself.
"Hey, Gary! You're the fastest, right? Go see what's going on…", the Marquis Olsen's son eventually addressed one of the two subordinates who were pacing around, trying to look useful to avoid getting on their boss's bad side.
"Huh! But I don't have any skill or artifact to camouflage myself. If I run into enemies, they'll capture me immediately. What difference would it make?" Gary protested, the speed of his response making it clear he had already prepared his refusal. If those two had been killed or captured, what chance did he have to escape?
But it seemed his efforts weren't enough, as the Marquis's son had already considered the problems Gary mentioned.
"Don't worry. I'll give you an artifact that will teleport you right back to me if you're attacked. So the only thing you need to worry about is keeping your eyes wide open to bring back as much information as possible about what happened to the mercenary camp and the identity of the enemies…", the Marquis's son said in a suspiciously calm tone, then handed Gary the promised artifact, a bracelet adorned with a blue gemstone.
Even with the artifact that assured his safety in hand, Gary still hesitated to leave, but after the Marquis's son lost his patience and began scolding and threatening him with losing his job, Gary finally set off, albeit reluctantly, hoping he would meet one of the dark elves before reaching the mercenary camp.
After Gary was no longer visible among the bushes, the Marquis's son told the other two subordinates to prepare to leave as quickly as possible.
Upon hearing the Marquis's son's words, the two remaining subordinates looked at him in confusion.
"But didn't you tell Gary we'd wait for him here?" one of them asked, fearing that the Marquis's son was beginning to suffer memory loss due to stress.
"Well, I changed my mind. But it doesn't matter, if something happens to him, he'll be teleported right in front of me anyway. So start packing everything up…", the Marquis's son wasn't too keen on explaining himself.
Seeing that the two had started to get to work, the Marquis's son put a ring on his finger that seemed to be part of the same set as the bracelet he had given to Gary, after which his right eye began to glow for a second, and then he began to see the trees moving towards him, which made him dizzy for nearly a minute.
But this didn't happen because he had consumed hallucinogenic substances, but because he had started to see with his right eye what Gary was seeing. The bracelet he had given Gary wasn't actually an artifact that would teleport him if he was in danger but rather one designed for reconnaissance.
However, he hadn't deceived Gary out of spite or fear of entrusting him with such a valuable artifact as those for long-distance teleportation, but because he didn't have such an artifact with him at the time, the only one of that kind owned by his family being in his father's possession.
In any case, faced with the choice between remaining in danger and sending Gary to almost certain death, the Marquis's son chose the latter without hesitation, unconcerned that Gary would haunt his dreams in the future. And even if that were the case, it's better to live in luxury and occasionally have nightmares than to be dead.
