Chapter 14

“Jake, is there something you want to tell us?” Esther asked as we gathered around the breakfast table.

Dessa stifled any possible attempts to hide our growing closeness. After we awoke, and settled down on the bottom floor of the inn, she took up a position by my side, attached to my arm. Sure, her cleavage always liked hugging my muscles, but this was different. She was more physical than usual. Dessa nuzzled against my shoulder like an affectionate pet.

“Yeah,” I said, rubbing the back of my neck. “I’m not really sure how to say it…”

“My darling lover has decided to make me the first member of his harem,” Dessa proudly announced.

I winced and waited for a freak-out, from Titania especially.

“Congratulations,” Esther said.

“You’re not mad?” I asked, amazed.

“Of course not. You’re both adults. If you two want to be together, that has nothing to do with me. As long as you don’t let it get in the way of our work…”

I looked at the other. “What about you, Titania?”

“Like it’s any of my business,” she groaned, looking away. “I don’t care what you two do. Just don’t go showing it off. It’s gross.”

“Now now, don’t be such a virgin. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of public affection,” Dessa said, digging into the crook of my neck.

“Yes, there is! And don’t call me a virgin!” Titania snapped, jumping to her feet.

“Titania, sweetie. Please sit down,” Esther said, tugging her wrist.

The grumbling orc dropped back down, huffing and puffing below her breath.

Dessa giggled and glanced up at me. “There you go, darling. I told you it was alright. Silly boy, getting worked up over nothing.”

“Yeah, I guess so,” I laughed. It was a weight off my shoulders. I pulled Dessa closer by the waist.

“Well, ain’t ya all lively?” an appearing Troya said.

We shared pleasantries as our breakfast arrived. Troya joined us but turned down an invitation to eat.

“Glad I caught ya all. I wanted to talk,” the oni woman said.

“It’s about whatever’s troubling this town, I presume,” Esther said.

Troya laughed. “Right ya are, missy. Yer a sharp one. Aye, things ain’t too rosy at the moment. We’re in a spot of bother.”

“What sort of bother?” I asked.

“The usual kind. Demon bother.”

I tensed. “Tell us about it.”

“See, we ain’t struggled too much with the demons,” Troya explained. “Sure, there’s a lot, but they ain’t bothered our walls. That was until recent. In the last month, the demons have got more aggressive. They’ve been attacking us more than ever. Worst of all, it’s not some uncoordinated mess. They attack together, escape together. I ain’t never seen anything like it before.”

“Doesn’t sound like any demon I’ve ever met,” Titania said, spluttering mouthfuls of food.

“Aye,” Troya agreed. “Sure, some be imps, but they ain’t got the brains for tactics like this. They’ve been launching bloody big boulders at the dome. How could a bunch of imps do that alone?”

“Imps aren’t stupid, but they’re no tacticians,” Esther said. “Plus, they’re cowards. This seems too big for them.
