Chapter 115. Town

There was a line to get past the gates as guards checked items in carts and took notice of weapons.

There wasn't anyone that was refused as I watched a mouse like creature carrying a crossbow walk right on through with the guards only giving him a nod. This was repeated a few times before it was our turn.

The only difference was that the guards all straightened as Voras came forward.

"Names and reason for entering?" The lead guard said. He was wearing a full suit of metal and held one hand over the pomel of his sword but didn't look scared at all. If anything he looked almost bored.

"Voras Vullemana and Clovek." She hesitated. "Umm do you have a family name?" She said to me.

"Just Clovek." I answered towards the guard. Not like my family name would mean anything here anyway. And I'd probably take Zeldi's or however Centaurs do families in all honesty.

"Right. We are traders after the markets." Voras continued.

The guard raised an eyebrow at our lack of anything really but didn't say anything about it. "Right. Markets are to the East and are patrolled regularly. If you have any issues they will sort it."

Voras caught my eye at that but since we weren't stopped any more than that we just walked on through.

They really didn't care that she was an Arachne. I don't know why I expected them to stop us but I was glad they didn't.

"That was easy." I whispered still holding Voras's hand.

"We gave them no reason to stop us. That won't stop the ones trying to follow us however but my kind have a reputation for stealing other males so it's not a surprise." Voras said like people tailing us was the most natural thing. "I think having you beside me voluntarily was a bit helpful."

Greeeeeeat.

The town was well built but slightly more on the medieval side of technology. That being said there was no shit in the streets so there must have been adequate plumbing. For that alone it gets a thumbs up from me.

"Now then. Do you have a price in mind for the items we are trying to sell?" Voras continued.

"Ummm no... Yeah that's a stupid thing to say." I chastised myself.

"Well we can sell everything rather quickly to the guild hall as they will take it quickly however they won't pay as much and they don't barter. Alternatively, we could buy a stall license and sell from our own stall. That would give us better profits however it would take longer." Voras gave me options with a smile. At least one of us is thinking ahead.

The problem was I wanted to do a bit of shopping myself for seeds and things so buying our own stall and waiting for customers wasn't very appealing. Not to mention we needed funds to do that in the first place. On the contrary I did want to get the most for our items but selling them for the girls quests was way more important.

"You mentioned the guild doesn't give as much. But do you think they'll still give us a good price?" I asked trying to find an answer.

"For the milk and Tarakona's eggs yes. Both of those items will sell well as adventurer's need the buff they both provide. Madu's venom could sell well, though I'm unsure if they will accept poison that heals... It's a strange combination."

"Really weird I agree but from the way Madu spoke about it I presume the healing is stronger than the poison?" I asked hoping Voras knew more with the Gorgon being her friend.

"That would be my guess as well. I'm sure the guild would test it first."

And that was problematic as I only just brought enough to complete Madu's quest. If I gave out a free sample even if I sold the rest her quest would remain incomplete from lack of quantity.

Part of me should have thought about that but Madu had tried her best getting what we already had.

"Then the guild it is for today. Perhaps next time we could do a stall but I'd like to do some shopping for items we need on the farm more than I care about getting a good price for everything. I am also conscious of the timer we have." I replied watching as Voras nodded along with me. "We can make it a shopping date. Just the two of us."

At the mention of date Voras immediately returned to blushing as she stuttered around words she couldn't say. I'd like to say I gave her the chance to recover but instead I placed a kiss on her cheek.

I swear I could see steam coming out of her ears by how red she was.

However, instead of staying the blushing bride Voras let out a low growl before pulling me into an alley way between two buildings and roughly kissed me back.

This was new. Voras has never taken an aggressive stance.

I kinda liked it.

Especially when I pushed her backwards against one or the walls while keeping our lips locked together.

Voras tried to pushed back but when her abdomen touched the wall she let out the cutest little whimper.

"Clovek." She pleaded. "Can we?"

"Not here." I whispered back. "You wouldn't be able to continue walking if we did and then we wouldn't be able to have our date."

Voras let out another cute whimper before something in her eyes flickered and she bit down on my shoulder letting her fangs pierce my skin. Warmth spread through my body as a gooey feeling started to form only for it to all congregate at my waist within seconds.

As if by command my dick sprang to attention with a one track mind and it felt hard enough to break a wall with.

"Voras." I growled. "What did you just do?"

Voras's response was to lick the small blood starting to form from the two puncture marks. Her shy demeanor hiding the small smile.

"Hold it right there!" A voice from close to the street called out causing us to break apart.

Four guards stood with swords drawn aimed at us, or more specifically Voras. The armour they wore having extra bits on the helmet to accommodate their ears.

I raised my arms out of instinct. "It's okay guards nothing to see here."

This was not helped by whatever venom Voras had just injected me with. My Arachnid had made some wonderful clothes for me to wear into town but they were not designed to hide the very obvious tent I was pitching right now, and no amount of effort was helping it go down.

"We got word that you were being taken." The guard spoke again keeping an eye on Voras.

Like myself she had her arms raised.

"Ah no. Bit of a misunderstanding." I answered him back. "We were just trying to get out of the public eye for a more private... Conversation."

This time I saw the guards gaze drop lower. I was going to have to punish Voras for this somehow. He definitely knew what 'private conversation' ment.

Thankfully he did sheath his sword.

"Then forgive us. We were sure the Arachne was trying to coerce you into going along with whatever plans she had."

I dropped my hands and let out a laugh that seemed to take them by surprise. "Sorry it's just Voras here would not do anything without my permission first. She's a little submissive. At least to me."

Voras let out a growl but immediately stopped when I turned to her.

"Sorry about the confusion, we'll just head out now."

I lead Voras past the guards with a little amusement at their surprise. Voras kept her head low until we were back on the streets.

"That was unfortunate." She huffed when we were out of earshot.

"Why? Did you want us to fuck in the alleyway with the potential of anyone seeing us?" I taunted.

"Well no. But you were pushing me so I thought maybe?" Voras blushed yet again.

"Well you deserve much more than a back ally bang my sweet Arachne. You deserve the softest bedding to lay on while I tie you up and devour you, lick by lick."

This did not help as Voras sunk deeper into her blushing mess.

"But in all honesty did you inject me with liquid Viagra? And how long will it last?" I gave her a subject that would be less embarrassing but one I really wanted an answer to. It was getting a little awkward walking round right now trying to subtly hide how hard I was.

Coming out of her embarrassment Voras gave me an odd look before following the tent I was pitching.

"Ohhh. Shit. I'm sorry Clovek I didn't think I'd actually given you any. I just wanted to taste your blood to take the edge off my own arousal." She panicked before looking around.

We were drawing a lot of attention but that was largely because Voras herself was so rare in these parts. I was getting a few odd looks for being close to her but that was about it.

Bringing her head closer to mine Voras whispered. "Ummm there's not much of a cure. It's a venom we Arachne use to make sure our partners are hard but also to make sure when they cum they give us as much as they possibly could in one go."

That makes sense. Especially with how much energy it took from her.

"So I just have to carry on with this?" I didn't indicate anywhere but we both knew what I was referring to.

Voras had the decency to look meak at that.

"Fine." I said with a sigh. "We'll go to the guild and then I'm dragging you somewhere so that you can deal with the problem you just caused."

Slight problem... I don't think she thought that was a threat.
