Chapter 281: Massage
We weren’t even on the dock for longer than a minute before someone ran up to Captain M’Koli Valigeaux and whispered something into her ear, causing the muscular futanari to click her tongue in irritation before she stormed off of the boat.
Most of the soldiers just watched her go with a bit of apprehension before they let out long sighs and halted their actions, no longer preparing the boat to remain at dock for an extended period of time.
Two of them still took Tanya off of the boat and down onto the dock, escorting her further into the quaint town and giving me one long last look at the pirate that had abducted me as she was marched out of my life rather unceremoniously.
She never looked back and I simply stared at her back for a few seconds before turning towards Professor Mira, who had come over to inform Taji and I that we were being mandated to take a break for at least a few hours.
If the good Captain needed to set sail immediately again then we were simply going to have to miss this outing, and if I felt that I wanted to go back to the Academy early... well, I was going to have to wait on that end as well, though the Professor promised that she would take me back as quickly as she could if that was the case.
Part of me was yearning for the safe familiarity of those walls and the structure of that life again, but more of me was just... far too curious about everything else that the world had to offer to really give a damn about that single abduction.
I mean, it was a fantasy world where everything had a ’fun’ twist to it, so even getting abducted still left me feeling somewhat relieved... though I wasn’t exactly one to enjoy forced sex even on my ’darkest’ days, so...
Anyways Taji immediately took the Professor’s words to heart and pulled me from the ship, not giving me any time to ask the soldiers about anything and not giving me the option to wait around and figure out what the new plan was for the Captain.
Even though I let out an irritated huff I was quick to forgive Taji since the Hyenakin was insisting that what I needed right now was a nice, warm cup of this local chocolate drink and a massage for either my shoulders, tits or feet.
She slid that option in there rather smoothly just like she had slid her cock between them earlier, but just like earlier I just gave her a smile and told her that a shoulder massage and that cup of chocolate stuff sounded perfectly good.
Seeing Taji deflate a little as the hopes of being able to massage my breasts died out before they could even blossom into some kind of thought for me was extremely adorable, and honestly there was something in me that was beginning to... well, see Taji as a bit cute, honestly.
Not someone that I was suddenly keen to get together with on a regular basis, not someone I was thinking about eventually turning into something serious, but... she was cute, especially when she stopped trying to flaunt her strength and instead was just herself.
This side of her I had only seen around me was something that was doing her more good than she likely realized, and obviously that was something I was going to keep to myself rather then letting her know that she had a new method to not only tease me, but also a possible way to make things better between us.
When we stepped into the inn and settled down at a corner table I was beyond relieved - though also a bit worried after what had happened to me - when I saw that none of our peers were present, though honestly only a few of the locals were even here to begin with.
"Get us two of those chocolate drinks plus a platter of fruits, beautiful~!"
Taji also didn’t seem to realize that I was someone who enjoyed having someone court her rather seriously, or at the very least someone who preferred having the person courting her not flirt with random busty waitresses at whatever inn we were at.
The Hyenakin just smirked at me after she watched said busty waitress saunter off, and while said waitress had an admittedly juicy ass and killer figure, I still just raised a brow at Taji before leaning back in the booth, ignoring her smirk.
"You had me worried there for a minute, Natalie. Had me thinking that you were about to get stolen away."
Her smirk faded as she leaned back as well, and before I could say anything she just added "Believe it or not, but my heart sank when they came back and told us that those pirates had kidnapped you. The thought of you being sold off to someone else... or worse...", shaking her head and making sure not to look at me as her expression constantly shifted.
It was harsh one second and then soft the next, her conflicted emotions warming me up a little bit before she ruined it all by tacking on "The thought of someone else having you instead of me really pissed me off!", making me click my tongue as she reverted back to her usual self.
The waitress sauntered back not that long after and set our cups in front of us, leaving behind a folded note that Taji read and slipped into her pocket before taking a sip of her drink, ignoring my raised brow again and just enjoying what she had.
Of course she was quick to remember that she promised me a shoulder rub, so after she drained half of that she got up and slid over to me, resting behind me and leaning down as she whispered "Don’t worry, I won’t slip away and bang that horny bitch... I’m all~ yours~ Natalie~!"
Her hands worked well on my shoulders as she began the massage, but like always she slid them down lower whenever I started to relax in hopes of copping a feel, so eventually she had to retreat after I bit her wrist when her wandering hands started to piss me off... though it was mainly the ’teasing’ that made me ’angry’.
