It had been a long and tiring journey from Unosvil to Tinnoth. One that Emma would not call exciting in the slightest, since for the most part it had consisted of walking, sleeping and eating. Not to mention she had been alone almost the entire time. She had thought about joining an adventuring party back in Unosvil, or maybe even just having a travelling partner. But she had assumed the Tieflings of Tinnoth would make better companions on her future adventures, and decided to find a team there. A decision she was now beginning to regret.

Fortunately she had managed to come across a few travellers on her journey that were making their way to Castrum, a small military based castle a day’s ride North of Tinnoth. They made a day and a night of the journey a little more interesting with their conversation, though they seemed to give Emma a number of strange, yet knowing looks as she told them where she was headed. She also could not help but notice that the men began to make more lewd comments about her breasts and arse after that. Regularly mentioning how they wanted to bury their faces in them, or simply squeeze them.

Emma was no stranger to lewd commentary. After all, she was a six foot tall Elf with breasts the size of grapefruits, and long wavy hair that was as black as the night. She was athletically built, thanks to her early training as a soldier, with powerful thighs that could crush a man’s skull, according to her former comrades. Even so, the sudden influx of lewd comments did put her off a little, but she ignored them for the most part.

They were about a day’s walk from Tinnoth when they arrived and the North road, and it was time them to leave her. She said her goodbyes, thanked them for their company, and waved them off as they continued on their journey. More than a few of them offered to give her “a stiff pounding” if she decided to come with them, but she gracefully declined and watch them leave. There was one Drow woman that Emma thought she could have been tempted by, but unfortunately she wasn’t one of the ones who made an offer. Once the travellers were out of sight, Emma hefted her shield into a more comfortable position on her back and began her journey again.

After one more sleep, Tinnoth’s walls rose up before her with great stone towers at every interval. Many tall buildings poked their peaks above the brick barricade, allowing her to see parts of the great metropolis inside. A large mote surrounded the walls and a great drawbridge had been pulled down across it in front of the gate.

Standing to either side of the gate were two Tieflings guards, wearing studded leather tunics over chain mail. They carried a rounded wooden shield on their backs and had a large curved sword strapped to their waists. The blue-skinned woman to the right called her over as approached the gate, assumedly to learn of her purpose.

Emma took note of the Tiefling’s eyes trailing over her body, her eyes hovering over her ‘attributes’. Emma merely responded by doing exactly the same, taking a note Tiefling’s features. Her hair was light brown and cropped short around her chin. Her horns were a much brighter shade of blue than her skin. Her breasts were much smaller than Emma’s though she had an arse that Emma wanted to slap. Her hands looked powerful, and made Emma yearn to feel them clutching her naked thighs.

"Good afternoon Miss! I am Officer Melia Denrin, and I stopped you today because I have to ask who you are and what you intentions within the city are?" Melia explained.

“Pleasure to meet you. I’m a budding adventurer, looking to begin my tale of exciting exploits, and Tinnoth seemed like the perfect place to begin. I know many figures of legend began their journeys here, so why shouldn’t I begin by following in their footsteps?” Emma explained. Melia smiled as she spoke, and Emma could not help but notice a slight glint twinkling in her eyes as she explained herself to Melia

“Fair enough! There have been more than a fair share of adventurers coming through, looking to begin their life of adventure here, so I think you’ve come to the right place” Melia made a quick note of a note pad she pulled from her pocket as she spoke “I assume this is your first time in Tinnoth then?”

“Yes! I’ve never really been out of Unosvil before!” she admitted, her comment making Melia’s smile grow broader as her eyes quickly darted around the nearby area.

“In that case, I guess I ought to inform you of the city's entry fee. It's dangerous to allow just anyone inside, so the city has put up a fee of twenty gold pieces to enter" she told Emma, causing the Elf girl to instinctively place her hand over her the wallet, and try to remember how much money she had on her.

She been given a small stipend when she’d left Unosvil’s guard force, and even with the small amount she’d saved before that, she didn’t think she would enough to make it through the gate and rent a room for the next few days, along with the numerous other costs she was bound to incur ‘What a disappointing start to my adventure!’

“Unfortunately I don’t think I have that, I was planning to start making money properly once I entered the city. Can’t you let it slide just this once?” Emma asked, not wanting to be turned away just yet.

"Well … funny you should mention that! You seem like a good person, and so I’m willing to take a chance that you won’t cause any problems in the city. To that end, I would like to offer you a ... substitute payment option, if you would be interested?" Melia offered, which made Emma’s breath calm down a little. It seemed she would be able to make it inside after all. She hadn’t particularly been looking forward to trudging back the way she had come.

“Sure! What is the other option?” Emma asked, assuming that Melia would need some help with bandits, or perhaps even a monster.

“The substitute payment involves you unfastening your tunic and allowing me to play with your breasts until I am satisfied!” Melia told her as she started to remove her gloves, seemingly pre-empting Emma’s acceptance.

The offer immediately took Emma by surprise. Emma had found this woman attractive the moment she had laid eyes on her, however she had not expected the option to do something so intimate with her so quickly, or so publicly for that matter.

“But what if someone sees?” Emma asked, far more embarrassed in this moment than she had ever been in a sexual situation before.

“Don’t worry. The gate will obscure us for the most part. If anything we could be seen by someone approaching the city, but I’m sure my companion will let us know if anyone’s coming!” Melia glanced over Emma’s shoulder towards the other guard. He was a purple-skinned Tiefling with short brown hair and a neatly trimmed goatee. He nodded affirmatively to Emma as she looked at him, even though he should not have been able to hear their conversation ‘This must be a common occurrence with these two!’

No matter how, admittedly, humiliating this situation was, on multiple counts, Emma was not about to let herself stumble at her first hurdle. After all, her heroes made their start here. Perhaps they had needed to do something similar when they arrived?

“Alright then, fine! But perhaps one of these days you might let me return the favour while I’m here?” she finally said, trying to maintain her confidence as much as she could, while she fumbled to undo the buttons on her tunic and pull apart the fabric. She fortunately wasn’t wearing any armour, which meant she would not have to take off her shirt completely.

Melia's breath shuddered with anticipation as Emma revealed her breasts, she watched the Tiefling’s eye widen with awe as she took a moment to fully take in the shape and size of Emma’s breasts "Your tits are amazing!"

Then without any further hesitation, Melia raised her hands and slowly slid them over Emma’s breasts tracing the curves with soft and careful precision. The subtle brush of her fingers and the touch of her powerful hands sent a pleasant tickle up through Emma’s body. Melia continued by carefully squeezing her breasts as she fondled Emma’s nipples with her thumbs, carefully toying with the stiffening protrusions with tender care.

Emma could feel her arousal building as Melia played with her, whether it was the skill in which she was being played with, or the excitement at how open this act was, she wasn’t sure. Emma closed her eyes and blocked out everything besides the feeling of Melia’s hands on her breasts, she found herself getting lost in the moment and almost completely forgot where she was until she felt the hands slide away from her breasts.

A slight whimper of disappointment escaped her lips as they left her, but she opened her eyes and took enjoyment from the look of satisfaction on Melia’s face.

“I was wrong! Your boobs aren't just amazing, they're perfect! Now I know what I'm going to be thinking about while I touch myself tonight ..." Melia admitted as she stepped away from Emma and began to put her gloves on "... Unless, of course, you'd like to visit me tonight to return the favour?”

Emma felt herself blushing at Melia’s offer as she quickly started to do her shirt back up again. She would definitely like to take her up on that offer at some stage. After all, if that was what she could do with just her hands on her breasts, then Emma absolutely wanted to see what else she could do. But business had to come before pleasure. She could not let herself become so easily distracted by pretty things.

“Perhaps not tonight, but I will definitely be seeing you again before I go!” Emma promised as she finished doing up the last button and straightened out her shirt.

“Sounds like I have something to look forward to then! Perhaps for now, you could spare me a thought next time you touch yourself? I know my focus will be entirely on you for the next few times I do!" Melia teased, causing Emma to giggle at her request. The Tiefling woman glanced into the city briefly before saying "Well you held up your end of the bargain, so you're free to enter the city now. But before you go, just a word of advice?”

“Sure!”

“Sex and nudity is a major part of Tinnoth’s culture, especially for bartering. If you intend to stay in the city for some time, I would suggest you learn to be less shy about it!” she told her.

Emma went to argue that she wasn’t shy, but she had been embarrassed by the thought of Melia’s ‘deal’ and decided it wasn’t entirely untrue. Instead she thanked Melia for the advice and set out into the city to find herself somewhere to stay tonight.

*************

Emma found herself awe-struck as she made her way down the main street and saw the great expanse of the city before her. Great towers shot up with blackened bricks all across the city, standing far taller than any structure in her hometown. In the distance she took note of a great colosseum to the left side of the city. It was dark and made from obsidian with golden flags billowing in the wind at each peak. The flags held an image of a red rose surrounded by emeralds. The standard of Tinnoth.

The sheer number of Tieflings that wander the streets was also a great shocked to Emma, she knew that Tiefling had flocked to Tinnoth many centuries ago, and that they were now the dominate race in the city, but had still not expected that so many even existed. Sure she noticed members of the other races dotted around the city, Humans, Elves, Dwarves, etc, but they were by far outmatched by the Tiefling population.

Emma eventually came to a crossroads, which held a statue depicting the great hero of Tinnoth, Vartinum Estra, he was depicted as he was battling his great nemesis, the Arch-Griffon of the South. Emma also noted that there were small signs dotted around the base of the statue, telling her what each road led to. Behind her was the ‘City's Entrance’, while the road ahead would take her to the ‘Markets and Business Operations’. To the left was ‘Government Buildings and Entertainment’, while the right road was sign posted with exactly what she was looking for ‘Taverns, Houses, and Education’.

She took the path to the right as soon as she had checked out all the signs, Emma wanted to know what was in each direction, but for now a place to sleep was the first priority.

As she walked down the right path, Emma passed a number of inns along the road, which she instantly chose not to enter. She could tell just by looking at them that they were far out of her price range. There were also a number a little further on that went on the complete opposite end of the scale, seemingly being far cheaper, but also  coming across as quite run down and uninviting. Emma may not have had much money, but she hoped she could at least afford something that was adequately comfortable.

She eventually settled upon a tavern called the Horny Toad. The establishment was made entirely of wood and had a pleasant homely aura to it. The sign board out the front boasted about how they served breakfast, lunch and dinner for their guests, and that all of the above was the best in the city. Emma doubted the truth in that statement, but she wasn’t a particularly fussy eater, so long as it was edible, she would be fine.

Stepping inside the Horny Toad, Emma found herself in a wide tavern space with a number of tables scattered around the room with a corridor leading further into the tavern by the back wall. There was a long bar top off to the left hand side of the room with a door behind it. A Dwarven man with a crimson beard and bald head stood behind the bar. He had large arms, a rounded stomach, and was tall for a Dwarf as his head came to a stop just below her chest. The Dwarf was busying himself by stacking bottles on the shelves against the wall as she entered. He only noticed her when he climbed off his step ladder to pick up another box, at which point, his eyes lit up.

"Greetings Miss, and welcome to the Horny Toad tavern! I'm Horatio, the publican of this joint. What can I do for you today? Are you looking for a room? Or just a drink? Or did you happen to get lost and just need directions?" he asked, ushering her over with a wave of his hand.

“Pleasure to meet you Horatio …” Emma said cheerily as she skipped over to the bar “… My name is Emma, and I’ve only just arrived in the city after travelling for … well, a very long time! I was hoping to book one of your rooms, as well as of course getting food and drink. But we can deal with that later. For now, let’s just start with the room!”

Emma noticed Horatio’s eyes lower from her face by several inches as she approached him. She didn’t comment on it, though she did stop skipping in the hope that it would make him lose interest.

"If you're looking for a somewhere to stay, you've come to the right place! I've got plenty of rooms, plus great food, and great drinks! So you're more than welcome to stay! The cost of a room is six gold, plus one for each meal, and then the price of the drink will depend on which one you choose, but they tend run somewhere between nine silver and up to four gold!" he listed out the prices off the top of his head, doing some quick calculations while he explained everything to her.

Emma raised her eyes in shocked as he began to list off all the prices, once again she wasn’t sure if she would be able to afford that, especially if she couldn’t get a job quickly ‘Things are really expensive in this city!’

The advice Melia had given her rang in her mind as she tried to think about her next move, and a plan started to form in her mind. She had never flirted with someone as a bargaining tool before, but she already knew that Horatio was attracted to her, so perhaps it wouldn’t be as difficult as with others.

“Just one moment!” Emma slid her bag off her back and crouched on the floor beside the bar where Horatio couldn’t see her. Instead of actually using her bag for anything, Emma swiftly undid the top few buttons on her tunic and carefully pulled the fabric apart to partially reveal her cleavage. She quickly stood back up and slung her bag back over her shoulder, to complete her deception.

“I was wondering, is there any chance that you could do me … a discount on that at all?” Emma leaned on the bar top as she spoke, giving Horatio a good view of her breasts. His eyes lingered between the folds of her clothing as she had expected them to, and she began to believe her plan was working.

“Hmm … there is something I could do for you, if you have issues with the price?” Horatio told her, his eyes never leaving her cleavage the entire time he spoke.

“I’m listening! What can you do for me?” Emma asked, quite pleased with herself that this plan had worked so easily.

“There’s a little something I like to call the special package. It includes all three food options, a drink of your choice, and you get the best room in the hotel, which comes with its own bath!” he explained, offering her a far better deal than she had even expected.

“And what does this package cost?”

“That’s the part I think you’ll like the most! There’s no monetary cost at all” Horatio emphasised the word ‘monetary’ heavily, which led Emma to raise an eyebrow as she realised it would more than likely be similar to the ‘price’ she had paid at the gate.  She had never found herself attracted to men, but if she gained bed and board for the price of letting this man squeeze her breasts, then she could put up with it.

“In that case, what’s the actual cost?”

"I want you to come behind the bar and strip naked. You'll go down on your hands and knees, then you’ll let me fuck you as hard as I want. If you're happy to do that, then you'll get all those things I told you about for free!" Horatio explained, his tone remaining casual the entire time.

Emma felt her nervousness build up as he explained what he wanted from her, she hadn’t expected him to ask her for something so explicitly sexual, but she was beginning to understand that this was how this city worked.

“Just so you know I’m not really into guys!” she told him, though she couldn’t deny there was something about his frankness that had her intrigued.

"It's entirely up to you! You can choose to pay the cost, or you can take the special package” he said, completely ignoring her comment on her sexual preference.

Emma continued to contemplate the offer, uncertain as to whether or not she should accept the deal. She had no feelings for Horatio, one way or the other, but it didn’t really seem like they were necessary for this anyway. At the end of the day, if she could hold onto the little money she had for a while longer, then it would be worth it.

“Alright! I’ll take the special package!” she agreed.

"I'm glad to hear it!" Horatio said in a manner that seemed like he expected her response. He stepped off to the side of the bar and opened a small door to let her come it.

Emma followed Horatio back to where he was standing before and watched as he started to undo his belt buckle. He looked her in the eyes as he prepared to accept the 'payment' and a broad smile curled up his face "Ok, take off your clothes! I like the women I fuck to be completely naked! I, of course, won't be removing my shirt. We wouldn't want anyone that comes in to think anything was going on back here!"

Horatio slid off his pants and kicked them to the side. His cock flopped free as his pants fell, he was already fully erect. It was the largest cock she had ever seen, though that wasn't actually saying anything considering. At a quick glance, Emma guessed that it was a little less than five inches long.

Emma blushed ever so slightly at the realisation that there was indeed a chance that someone might come in. But she had already made her decision, and she was not about to back down now. Her nerves continued to try and get the better of her as she slowly removed her weapons and clothing, but as she reached down to take off her pants, she realised they were not nervous but excitement, as felt herself growing wet, despite the fact that she was about to have sex with this man.

Horatio carefully watched her undress and carefully took in her naked body. Once she was completely naked, Horatio reached up and teased one of her nipples between his fingers, carefully rubbing it until it grew hard. His other hand, he slid between her legs and used two fingers to rub the edges of her pussy, causing her to gasp involuntarily at the suddenness of his touch.

"It's funny that you say you're not into guys, but immediately after I say I want to fuck you, your pussy becomes as slick as an ice rink!" He looked up at you with a cocky smile and stepped back again "Alright! Turn around and get on hands and knees. It's time for you to finally learn what a good cock can do!"

‘This guy really thinks a lot of himself!’ Emma thought, though she couldn’t deny his initial observation. She turned away from him and lowered herself to the floor. She knelt first and then leaned forward, supporting her weight with her hands. She couldn’t see what he was doing, but it wasn’t long before she felt the Dwarf’s hands on her backside, squeezing both cheeks in turn.

Emma felt his hands slide off her and within moments felt something hard probing against her vagina that could only be Horatio’s cock. Without hesitation, Horatio pushed his cock inside her, immediately shoving his full length into her vagina. She thought she heard him moan the moment it was inside, but when she felt the vibration in her throat she realised that moan was from her.

“Fuck that’s good!” Horatio gasped as he pulled himself halfway out of her before immediately slamming back inside. His movements started slow, but the sped up quickly, and as they did his thrusts grew harder. Emma found herself shuddering with pleasure as he pounding into her, and after a moment realised she was pushing back into him to meet his thrusts.

"How can you possibly think you're a lesbian? This pussy was clearly made for cock!" he groaned in pleasure as he slammed inside her again, growing faster and faster. The more momentum he built up the more Emma wondered just how fast and hard he could go, and with the pleasure she was feeling, she was beginning to hope that he wouldn’t hold back. But seemingly, Horatio was about to disappoint her, as he suddenly slowed and muttered under his breath "Shit!"

Horatio continued to pump inside her, only now his thrusts were much less vigorous than before, which lead her to think that he finished already, and inside her at that ‘He could have at least ask if it was alright!’

But Emma was distracted from her train of thought when she heard footsteps in the tavern, and Horatio said something that was clearly not directed at her "Been busy at the academy this week Adrian? How's the degree coming?"

‘There’s someone in here!’ Emma clamped her mouth shut upon that realisation. She could tell Horatio didn’t mind as he was continuing to thrust into her all the while, but she definitely didn’t want to be found out right now.

The voice of this new party seemed to come from a much younger man than Horatio, and to Emma’s relief his tone was soft enough that he had to be on the opposite side of the tavern "Yes, my assignments have been building up quite a bit, so it's been quite tough!"

"I'm sure you'll get on top of it. I have faith in you!" Horatio replied casually, with no indication in his voice at all that he was slowly fucking her throughout their discussion.

Realising there wasn’t much she could do about it, Emma calm herself down and simply hoped that this Adrian would be gone soon enough. That being said, she had to admit that there was something unbelievably hot about the danger this new situation had presented ‘Perhaps I might try something like this again in the future? Though I definitely need to be more aware of its potential next time!’

Horatio and Adrian finished up their conversation as Adrian elected to head into his room. Emma felt Horatio take one hand off her arse for a moment before she heard the sound of footsteps going down the corridor. At which point Horatio's hand returned to her arse, and she could feel him bending over her. Fortunately her training had involved improving upper body strength, otherwise she wasn’t sure she could have supported his full weight. Once he was leaning over her completely, Horatio whispered into her ear "Now, let's get back to fucking you straight!"

Emma slowly nodded her approval and released the moan she’d stifled when she had clamped her mouth shut. Horatio raised himself back up and gave up on slowly penetrating her, an action that Emma wholeheartedly supported, and then he immediately started vigorously slamming into her again. She could hear the moans escaping his lips each time he rammed her, which made them time perfectly with her own.

They continued moaning in unison as thrust into her and she slammed back into him, the loud slapping almost being deafened by their vocalisations.

"Fuck yes! I'm getting close!" Horatio gasped after a few moments. She had originally planned to ask him to pull out when he told her that, but she had been feeling her own orgasm growing closer for the past few minutes, and didn’t want to miss out now.

“I’m so close! Don’t stop now!” she cried.

"I knew you'd just been waiting for a good dicking. Don’t worry, I’ll give you what you need!" Horatio told her as continued slamming into her with as much force as he could muster. It wasn’t much longer before he released his orgasm into her, crying out in pleasure as he finished. As promised, he didn’t stop pounding her. Instead, he leaned over her once again, only slowing his pace down a little as he whispered in her ear "Cum for me, Knife-ears! Cum for me!"

As if on command, Emma’s vagina squeezed tightly around Horatio’s cock as she felt the explosion of her gates rock through her body. The surge of her climax was so forceful that her arms buckled beneath her and her upper body fell onto the ground.

"Good girl!" Horatio said as he pulled his cock out of her. She couldn’t see what he was doing as she was still trying to catch her breath, but she found out soon enough when a key was tossed on the ground beside her.

"There you go! I suppose know you know what you've been missing out on you'll be wanting another fuck soon? Perhaps I'll come up and visit you again before you leave, you'd like that wouldn't you?" Horatio taunted her as she heard him buckle up his pants. Emma wanted to argue with him, but after what she’d just experienced she couldn’t. Instead she chose to take a different tactic.

Emma swiped the key off the ground and rolled over so she was sitting on the ground. She leaned against the wall next to her and spread her legs apart.

“I guess that depends. Will what we just did cover me for the entire time I’m here? Or just one night? Because if not, we could always just crack out all the payments now!” she offered, and for once in the, admittedly, short time they had known each other, it was Horatio’s turn to be shocked ‘I guess he didn’t really expect me to take up his offer’

Horatio quickly recomposed himself and knelt down beside Emma, he placed a hand under her chin and smile ever so smugly.

"You're addicted to cock now, aren't you? I bet you'd still want me to fuck you even if there was no reward! Unfortunately my cock needs a little rest for now, and I like to spread out my fucks, they mean more that way! How long do you intend to stay? It'll help me work out a payment plan for you"

As things currently were, Horatio was right. She would fuck him again even without the promise of a room, but she had to remember to keep her cool. Sex was the bargaining tool of Tinnoth after all, and if she wanted, there was a good chance she could get another fuck before the day was out without too much work.

“I’m hoping it’ll be no more than a few days. I will be looking for actual work while I’m here, so let’s say three days for now?” she replied, remaining in her spread eagle position on the floor in case Horatio changed his mind.

“Alright, I'll start thinking I want you to do. Though more than likely I'll be wanting my payments once a day!" he smiled devilishly, gesturing towards the corridor on the far side of the room "You'd best go make yourself at home. Dinner's at 8:30, and breakfast is at 6. I'll probably see you then!"

“I’ll be seeing you later then!” Emma picked up her belongings off the floor and rose, since she was going to change out of her travelling clothes anyway once she got to her room, she decided not to get dressed before she returned to her room. No matter what, she would be needing that bath thanks to her weeks of travel, and the load Horatio pumped inside her. So if she needed to do some cleaning after that, it seemed only fair that Horatio could clean up the cum that dripped onto the floor as she made her way back to her room.

As Emma entered the room she had worked for, she found it to be a pleasant enough looking space and would serve her well while she was here. She immediately ran the bath and watched the water steamed up as she thought about her time here so far. No more than a few hours in the city, and she already had two prospects she could go to whenever she wanted to have sex, she had a nice hotel room, and she hadn’t even spent a single silver ‘You know what? I think I’m going to like it here!’
