Chapter 16: You Mean, Like This?
Lesha squeezed my hand in excitement, and I wanted to be excited with her, but Healia's words came back to me. Still, this guy could send a full grown man flying across the street with the touch of a single finger. I think it would be unwise not to take him, just because he would make a powerful foe.
"My name is Kiada and this Is Lesha, I am the Guild Leader of The Red Legion."
"Hmmm? Red Legion? Well, I am drawn to you, but from what I have heard, Healia was a supporter of Hawk Vision Guild. I think I need to go talk to her first before I make any decisions. First, I'm Corbit, and I guess I'm what you would...no...what will be called a Lightning Mage," Corbit said, using a more relaxed way of speaking.
"Don't worry, K, sorry, I mean Kiada, changed the name when she became the Guild Master," Lesha awkwardly explained.
Corbit looked relieved, so I spoke up.
"Listen, we were just going inside the bakery here to see someone, and then we can take you to the guild hall to meet with Healia. If you don't mind waiting, or you can come inside with us, best to be somewhere else when that one wakes up."
"Yes, I will come with you. That man was being rather forceful about getting me to join his party," Corbit said, following us into the bakery.
I was hit with the blast of freshly baked bread, pies, and pastry that left me with a ravenous feeling gnawing at my insides. The place wasn't big in the front, just a single counter top, and some special glass cases that held the fresh baking. I could see Leana moving around the back, but she was kneading some dough, and I suspected she was just taking it from rising, so I would leave her be. Instead, I turned back to Corbit.
"It was good that you refused his offer, people like that are only looking for someone to push into a trap to set it off or to use as a shield. I want to change that and make it safe for everyone to profit from the dungeons. I have other plans but this is my first goal."
"Oh, hmm, very nice, I like your spirit. One of those go getter types, I see. Well, I am not the type to be bullied around!" Corbit said with more of his fake bravado.
"No, maybe not now that you can shoot sparks from your fingers, but I will just go and assume you didn't have it easy before this. Am I right?"
Corbits shoulders dropped and he hung his head. Yup, hit the nail on the head with that one, but it wasn't hard to assume, given his stature. I was about to try and cheer him up, but that was when Leana called my name.
"K?! You came to visit me! You must have just seen your father! What a pleasant surprise, and you brought your 'friend' with you! But who is this other young man you have with you?"
Leana fired off the words before I could even react, but I wish she wouldn't put so much emphasis on the word, friend. I was going to have to get used to it, Lesha wasn't going away and I didn't want her to. So, I would just have to get over my squeamishness over it and not let it bother me.
"Yes, I just saw dad, I had good news to tell him, and I wanted to come over and let you know as well. I am now a Guild Leader, and this boy…"
"I am almost eighteen!" Corbit complained in indignation.
"...This, BOY, is Corbit, one of my new potential members to the Guild." I finished.
"Congratulations! I am so happy for you!" Leana said with excitement and she wrapped me in a hug.
The experience of telling her wasn't the same as with dad, but that wasn't her fault. I had just never got that close with her, and it always felt like she was trying a bit just too hard. Still, I hugged her back in gratitude, and then broke apart from her, and she was smiling brightly.
"Just wait here! I have something for the two of you tonight; I was just going to give it to you when I finish work, but you're here now," Leana said, turning to go around the counter and into the back. "Jenna, give them all a meat bun or two, I'm sure that they haven't eaten yet, and it's well past lunch now!"
At the mention of food, all three of our stomachs started to growl like angry animals. We each accepted a still warm bun that had a meat filling on the inside. As I bit into the bun, Lesha let out a soft, but she was just behind me, so it was louder in my ear than it probably was to everyone else, but I felt my legs start to become less sturdy.
"Do you need to enjoy your food that much! We are in a public place!" I whispered severely back to Lesha.
That didn't help; instead of stopping, Lesha moved closer behind me so our bodies were touching, I could feel the points of her nipples pressing into my back, and I started to have trouble breathing normally. As I could feel the pressure of her soft breasts, pushing into my back, Lesha put her lips beside my ear and whispered.
"You mean, like this? Mmmmm!"
The feeling that hit my body was like a pain with no pain. I started to feel an aching pressure between my legs that was demanding pressure. I could actually feel myself starting to get wet, and the feeling of wanting pressure was building up, Lesha's fingers...I was starting to lose control of my legs and they felt like they were just going to bend over at any moment and I would fall…contemporary romance
"Lesha?" Leana asked.
All the heat, blood, and pressure that had been growing between my legs went straight to my head. Leana put a hand to her mouth to cover her face splitting smile, and then handed me a bottle of wine.
"I thought you might need some encouragement tonight, but it looks like you are already both enjoying each other's company. I will see you girls tomorrow, be safe, and try not to keep the neighbors up." Leana said, still with the hand covering her mouth.
