Their sed arena series took much lohan the first. Ten rounds passed, they. Though they weren't earning experience from the fights, they were gaining experience of a more literal sort. Fighting the wide variety of monsters spewed out by the magical arena was valuable practi its ht, regardless that the bat didn't t toward leveling. And there was no risk of dying. Which made it an incredible training grounds.

  Eventually, they reached a point where the fights became a struggle. Then each was desperate, pleted by the skin of their teeth. But Vaa never called them off, despite Natalie cheg in on her every few rounds—then every round when they got close to losing. It eat of the st series. Natalie might have taken a moment to smirk at that, but she was t-out from the fights.

  Then it finally happened. She staggered back from a clever feinted kick, and before she could recover—

  She was standing in the ter of the arena, the monster gone, with all her slowly accrued injuries healed. Magically restored in an instant. Eveamina had been refilled. She felt fresh as she could be.

  She'd died too fast to even see what had happened. Better tha time, she guessed. Quick deaths were better than slow ones.

  "Damn," she said, setting [Valentine] in the dirt. "My bad."

  "Good effort," Vaa said, though like any petitive delver, her nose wrinkled slightly in disappoihat they hadn't gotten farther. But she'd have felt the same no matter how many rounds they'd finished. Same with Natalie.

  Natalie's frown disappeared quickly.

  Because, now that the fights were over, it was time to pay out the stake.

  No pilr rose from the ground, sihere were no objects to provide. Their task was simple. Mutual stroking until they'd gotten off.

  "Kay," Natalie said, a grin slowly spreading onto her lips. "Now we get to have some real fun."

  Vaa seemed less hesitant than she had earlier, but her eyes still widened as Natalie walked toward her—a even wider when Natalie unhooked her metal bra and threw it aside, exposing herself to the irl.

  She pressed herself into Vaa and tugged the irl in close, their curves pushing together—Natalie's chest he irl still wearing her armor. Her hands slid down Vaa's sides aled onto her waist as she leaned forward, bringing her face close to the irl. Vaa had to look up to meet her eyes, being much shorter. She was breathing hard already.

  "I'm excited to see how easy this'll be," Natalie murmured.

  Whatever Vaa had been expeg her to say, it clearly wasn't that. Her flustered expression morphed into one of surprise—then mild offeaking the words as a challehis girl was way too cute.

  "And what does that mean?"

  "Mm. Three, I think."

  "What?"

  "Three, to my one." Her hands started fiddling at the straps and csps of Vaa's leather armor. Vaa might have been embarrassed by that or protested in another situation, but her head was clearly stu Natalie's words.

  "You mean—you won't get me off three times before I get you ohat's ridiculous. And, and, why are you undressing me?" she asked, her brain finally catg up to what Natalie was doing. "That's not part of the stake."

  Despite saying so, she didn't stop Natalie. She finished freeing the armor, pulling it off Vaa and tossing it casually aside, like Natalie had her metal top. Then Vaa's bra started to slide off, exposing the rogue's small tits, and that finally made her tense and reach out to catch her wrists.

  "We don't o be naked," she repeated. "That's not part of the stake."

  "But I wanna."

  "I-It's not part of the stake."

  "It'll get me there faster? You'll definitely lose if I don't eveo see you naked."

  Vaa paused—then narrowed her eyes. Natalie grinned, and they both khe excuse for what it was.

  She looked away. "F-Fihen. I guess that makes sense." She released Natalie's wrist a her finish tugging the bra off.

  Natalie took her time stripping the irl, going down on her knees as she pulled off her boots, pants, and panties, each article of clothing making Vaa tremble more. When she'd finished, she admired Vaa's naked form, taking in the girl's toned, petite body. A number of scars covered her—more than most delvers their age, but her body wasn't nearly as covered in the marks as her face.

  Vaa sted all of three seds of Natalie's gaze scraping up and down her body before her hands covered her chest aween her legs.

  "Your turn," Natalie said, not enting on the flustered rea—besides a smirk. "Mine's easy to take off, though." She fiddled at the strings holding her lower piece of armor on.

  Vaa hesitated, then undid the two indicated strings and peeled the metal off, exposing Natalie for the sed time.

  "Perfect," Natalie said—then pressed herself bato Vaa, now with both of them naked. It was a much more indulgent experience, feeling her curves press into the rogue's skin without any barriers between them. Natalie slipped her thigh between Vaa's legs and her partner sucked in a small breath of air. "Like I said. Three to one. Maybe more. You seem pent up."

  "Shut up," she said, shaking with Natalie's closeness. "No, I'm not." Her voiflected up as Natalie pushed her knee bad forth, grindily against Vaa's exposed sex.

  Natalie's cock rested between their stomachs, thid stiff and ready for round two, pulsi into Vaa's flushed skin. Those gray eyes were locked on her, despite the warriions on her face. Disbelief, excitement, embarrassment—more. She anting and trying not to moan, already.

  "Look at you," Natalie said, letting one of her hands drop down to squeeze Vaa's ass. She teased Vaa's entrah her knee as she rocked against the girl. "So sensitive, aren't you?"

  "H-Hardly."

  "Shh. Just enjoy it. Oip though."

  "What?"

  Natalie pushed her knee in harder, drawing a lasp. "If you wanna win, you might wanna do something bae," she teased.

  Vaa froze, realizing she'd just been standing there and taking it.

  Then, as expected, the delver rose up to the challenge, spurring herself into motion.
