As we worked, my mind was filled with thoughts of Kai, and I could tell that Cara’s mind was also on what we both hoped would come next.
Hand in hand, we made our way back up to the camp.
Kai was waiting for us when we reached the camp. She had been sitting outside the tent which had been put up for me and Cara, looking thoughtfully out over the ruins and smiling. Now, when she caught sight of us approaching, she jumped to her feet and turned to us.
She tossed her head, and her long, dark hair swung about her head and down her back. The golden light of late evening played across her bronzed face, and her dark eyes were sparkling as she looked us up and down.
“How is your friend?” Cara asked.
“Nika? She’s sleeping. That draught of yours sent her straight into a deep sleep. She was terrified, but physically unhurt. We’ll hear her story tomorrow, I’m sure, but for now, I’m not concerned for her. She just needs rest.”
Cara nodded. “I’m glad to hear my potion was the right thing. She should sleep until morning now.”
“So we have the night to ourselves now?” A slow smile crept across Kai’s face, and was returned by Cara. At the same time, they both looked at me.
“Well, I think we can find a profitable way to spend our time until tomorrow,” I said. I let my eyes travel up and down both women’s bodies, appreciating the contrast between Cara’s fair skin and hair, and Kai’s bronze skin and black hair. They were two very beautiful women.
“I’m sure we can,” Cara said, and we all laughed.
The sun was setting, and we checked in with Toshiro and Koshu, making sure all was well. Scouts had been sent out, and there was no sign of enemies anywhere near. The soldiers were all settling down around the big fire, some way away from the tents, and they had meat and drink and seemed content to relax after the day’s labors.
“I’ve got my own supplies,” Kai said, indicating the pack she had picked up. “Some fruit and sweets, and some wine. Shall we take them back to your tent to eat, Leo?”
I glanced around the camp at the contented soldiers. We were not needed here tonight. “Let’s do that.”
I led the two women back to the big tent which had been set up for us, striding through the gathering dusk. Kai and Cara followed me quickly, and Cara hurried forward to push the tent flap up to let us both in.
Inside, the spacious tent was warm. A brazier of charcoal warmed the space, and two globe lanterns sat on a low table at one side. Rich furs carpeted the ground, so that every inch of the tent was covered in deep softness.
Cara and Kai looked at me expectantly. In the light of the lanterns, I could see the flush in Cara’s cheeks, and Kai’s full lips were slightly parted as she glanced from one to the other of us. I could see what was on their minds, but they were waiting for me to make the move.
“Kai,” I said without preamble, “we’d like to bring you into our Persona circle. Would you like that too?”
She nodded slowly. “Even if there was no magical power to share, I would still want to be joined with your... circle. Leofwine, Cara, I’ve never known anyone like you.”
The lust was plain to hear in her voice.
Cara’s eyes shone as I stepped forward and claimed Kai’s mouth with a kiss. I felt the Yamato woman’s body trembling with excitement and desire as I ran my hands up and down her sides, gripping her hips and letting one hand slip down to feel her ass. Her mouth tasted warm and sweet, and her tongue came out to meet mine. I heard a rustling noise and broke the kiss to see Cara wearing the slinky green dress again. Her feet were bare.
Boldly, she stepped forward and joined me next to Kai. She dropped one hand to touch Kai’s hip and laid her other on mine. She leaned forward, her lips parted.
Kai seemed to hesitate.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
She laughed. “Nothing. Nothing’s wrong, I just... well, I’ve never kissed another woman before, that’s all.”
“Well, I have,” Cara said, and leaned in again.
This time, Kai tentatively met the kiss. I watched as their lips met, gently at first, then more firmly. I pressed my grip on Kai’s ass and felt her respond, grinding her hip back against my hand. My other hand flowed up the soft fabric that covered Cara’s back, feeling the tension in the bunched muscles there ease under my touch. As the two women’s mouths parted, I leaned in and joined them, making a three-way kiss.
When we parted, Cara was a little out of breath.
“Come on,” I said. “Let’s go and lie down.”
I drew the two women after me, over to where the blankets and skins were piled thickest. I was wearing the non-combat aspect of the Ironside Persona, and as I drew the women down to the furs, they both leaned over and together raised the black woolen jerkin up over my head. They were laughing together as they did so, Cara stealing another kiss from the beautiful Yamato warrior.
Kai gasped as she looked down at my bare chest and iron-hard belly. Her mouth open, she leaned over me, tracing one finger down the ridge of my chest and toward my navel. Then she and Cara were both kissing my chest and torso. I leaned my head back, feeling their lips and tongues moving over my shoulders and chest. Then Kai was tugging at my belt, and Cara was massaging the bulge at my crotch.
“Wait, let me get out of this cumbersome garb,” Kai gasped.
“I’ll help you,” Cara said.
I propped myself up on my elbows and watched as Cara moved behind
