Chapter 24.3: Dust Storm

Nearly one week had passed since the group had taken on the task of patrolling Mesa-III. During that time they had entered into battle on seven separate occasions, but each time had been a battle with Hawkline.

That factor proved without a doubt, one of the things that the Mayor of the town had suspected. A Lair must have formed out in the wilds. Such places were similar to illusion dungeons in a way, only less developed. One might call them proto-illusion dungeons that produced only a single type of Crystallim Nightmare. Either way, Hawkline would continue to spawn at random intervals in the area around that nest.

Scott and the girls had been asked to cease their normal patrols and to focus on tracking down that suspected lair. They would leave at first light to deal with that task as it was far more important than general patrol efforts. A lair, sometimes called a nest, could be home to much stronger Hawkline or even a higher-tier girl such as a Gryphon or even a sphinx. Hawkline were dangerous, but those girls were even more predatory and frequently deadly.

During their brief period of rest before their next mission phase started in earnest, Scott had opted to contact his girlfriend in order to see if she wanted to try her hand at the task of raising a Hawkline. He had around forty of them to spare and they needed a good home.

Alexis had transported out as quickly as she could, and now the two hunters sat in Scott’s room while they sifted through the available Crystallim. Surprisingly, Alexis sparked with five of the girls provided. Scott had only sparked with three of them, but he would only be willing to keep one of the girls. He had to run a tight ship, despite how much he liked the overall look and skill-set of the Hawkline Crystallim.

“So, the going rate for these Crystallim is one hundred twenty thousand standard credits.” said Alexis.

Scott nodded. “Yeah, the ability to fly does drive up the price a little, and they have a highly useful combat oriented evolution line that rarely deviates.”

“Predictable, powerful, growth rates and the ability to fly. That is definitely an expensive combination.” said Alexis, before she signaled for a monetary transfer.

Scott checked his account and saw that he was now one gold credit and two hundred silver credits richer. Prices were often listed in standard form, but all those credits only amount to this much money. Still, he could earn nearly fifty gold for his current haul. That was an almost obscene amount of money for a new hunter.

He needed every bit of it as well. The items he had expended over the course had cost nearly twelve gold credits, and he would need to upgrade everyone’s equipment when he had the chance.

“So, what do you plan to do about that lair?” asked Alexis.

Scott smiled. “What any red-blooded hunter would do.”

Alexis smirked. “You’re going to clean it out and then set up camp for the rest of the month to farm it for Hawkline aren’t you?”

“Damn straight.” said Scott. The girls had a right to exist, and he had a right to turn a profit. Besides that, once the lair was taken out he would have to go back to wandering around aimlessly on patrol. It was an easy gig for the most part, but boring.

It was not considered a shady practice, to farm a lair. Technically, if he did discover its location he would own it exclusively for a time. Though, the town might claim it if he took too long in shutting it down. Thirty days was the normal limit for exclusive rights, but with his current contract he would be lucky to hold onto those rights until the end of his mission.

“Planning to buy that bitchy blond girl?” asked Alexis with a hint of annoyance in her tone.

Scott glanced at her for a moment then casually reached over and placed his right hand on one of her perky breasts. He did not speak aloud; his hand did the talking for him.

Alexis moaned softly then looked at him in aroused confusion. “Scott...”

“Why discuss other girls when my beautiful girlfriend is spending time with me?” asked Scott gently.

Her expression brightened considerably and she leaned forward. “OK, you have a point.”

Scott smiled then leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. They had to take things slow, due to her special nature.

They had never even had actual sex, and it would no doubt be a while before they could manage that feat. However, whenever they met up Scott would help her to train her restraint so that she could avoid injuring him during their quality time.

“Alexis, why are you so threatened by other girls when you can see that I want to spend this time alone with you?” he asked her before he kissed her lips once more.

The bridge of her nose turned a light shade of pink and her eyes began to shimmer. “Scott...”

He wrapped his arms around her and held her close, their bodies gently pressed against each other while they enjoyed another lengthy kiss. It was the most that they could do at the moment outside of a little light petting.

Scott had to press forward, however. It was for her own good, after all. He slipped his hand down to lightly caress her ass.

Her eyes fluttered opened and she moaned gently into his mouth. When his other hand slipped down to join it, she pressed against him heavily and brushed her nose against his.

It was time. Scott had to reach for that sexy brass ring that had been out of reach. His hands slipped downward in unison, and slid between her luscious ass cheeks. They moved swiftly to their target and immediately claimed that unspoiled semi-virgin territory for the glory of Scott’s penis.

Alexis cried out hotly against him. No man had ever laid hand to that region of her body. At least, no man who had not immediately lost consciousness then fell to the floor. A few handsy perverts in the crowded American streets, and one decidedly unlucky male gynecologist had discovered that fact quite handily.

Scott felt a sudden wave of weakness wash over him, but he endured it. This sweet girl and her needy vagina deserved to have him do his best.

“Scott, I’m sorry.” whispered Alexis. She could not stop herself completely. She struggled with everything that she had, but his light caresses were driving her crazy and it was nearly impossible to concentrate.

“Focus Alexis. You can do this... You are the master of your own pussy...for now.” whispered Scott into her ear.

The serious tone he used contrasted greatly with his words and she could not help but laugh. The energy drain weakened slightly.

“Do you claim to be the future master of my pussy, Scott?” asked Alexis sweetly.

Scott kissed her gently on the cheek. “Your pussy is mine. Accept it with your body and soul.”

Alexis laughed again then pressed forward lightly so that she could kiss him again. Afterward, she said, “Yes master.”

Scott laughed this time. “I could get a little too used to that.”

Alexis kissed his chin then held him close. Honestly, she could get used to it as well.
