"Ah, just the woman I wanted to see."

Nikea blinked with surprise. She wasn't really used to hearing that sentence when she was anywhere near, except when she owed people money. She especially didn't expect to hear it in Zerase's cold voice. Yet that was exactly what had just happened.

"Me?" she asked, turning to the pale druid in black.

"Is there anyone else here?" Zerase asked.

"Guess not," Nikea said. "So what do you want?"

"I happen to be in possession of a rather rare rune. I would like to see what you would do with it."

"What? Why?"

"My reasons will soon be evident, I think," Zerase said. "And in compensation for your assistance I will prepare a dinner for you."

Nikea brightened up considerably at that. "Really? You can cook?"

The bearer of the Star rune gave her a long, slow look. "Very well, I shall buy you dinner at whatever establishment you wish. In exchange for bearing the rune."

"Deal," said Nikea.

Zerase abruptly turned and headed down the corridor without looking to see if she followed her. "This way."

"Hey, uhm," Nikea said, "this... this isn't going to turn out to be one of those True Runes, right?"

"Don't be absurd."

"Right. Just checking," Nikea said as she took the few strides necessary to draw level with the pale druid.

-----

Zerase's room was pretty depressing. There was a bed, a closet, a carpet and nothing else. There was absolutely nothing about it that even hinted that the woman did anything more than sleeping here. If she actually slept. Nikea was still a bit unsure on that point and not too keen on asking directly if it turned out the answer was going to be 'no'.

Zerase headed for her closet and took out a sealed orb. It glowed softly red.

"Ready?"

"Where are you going to place it?" Nikea asked.

"It will place itself."

"What do you...?"

Warm red light filled Nikea's vision, but only for a moment. When it faded, the druid's hand was empty. Nikea checked the backs of her hands, but couldn't find the Rune there.

"Forehead, then?" she said.

"No," Zerase replied.

"Then wh-"

Nikea's eyes grew wide and a blush exploded all over her face. Zerase grinned coldly.

"What is...?"

"I'll turn around, shall I?" Zerase said. "Give you a moment of privacy."

The moment the pale druid had turned her back, Nikea undid her sash and her green pants. And there it was. In the places where her pubes had been a rune she didn't recognise adorned her smooth, tanned skin. Its faint red glow faded even as she watched. Probably because...

Because...

Because it had finished giving her a dick.

"Wh- What's this?" Nikea said.

"If I were to hazard a guess, it's the effect of the rune," Zerase said calmly.

"You knew this was going to happen?" Nikea asked.

"Not specifically," Zerase said. "In fact, I'd appreciate it if you told me what has happened."

"Tell you!?"

"If you prefer I could simply turn around again and take a look for myself."

Nikea quickly did up her pants again. "Yeah, you can look."

Zerase turned around, her heavy cloak whispering as she did so. She glanced quickly but noticeably at the sash still lying on the floor before turning her cold gaze back to Nikea's blushing face.

"So, it affected you somewhere below your midriff, am I right?"

"I'm not gonna tell you!" Nikea yelled.

"No? Then I'm afraid I won't have to keep up my end of the bargain either."

Nikea opened her mouth to reply, then shut it again. Sure, OK, she was embarrassed, but a meal was a meal. "Fine. I've got a cock."

Surprise flashed across Zerase's face. It was actually kind of unsettling to see.

"A penis? Really?"

"Yes, really," Nikea said. "What, you'd think I'd lie about something like that?"

"No, you probably don't have the imagination," Zerase said. "Very well. What does it feel like?"

"Feel like? It feels like..." Nikea paused and thought about her answer for once. When it came to her body she was mostly aware of her muscles and her stomach. The bits between her legs had never really mattered all that much to her. Well, except for that one time when that nobleman's daughter had been very impressed with her performance at some local martial arts tournament. That had been quite the weekend.

"Nikea?"

"What? Oh. Uh... it doesn't feel like anything, really. I mean, it's just sort of there, you know?"

Zerase nodded. "I see," she said.

Nikea wasn't shocked at what happened next. She would have been if she hadn't just had a much bigger one. As it was, she was really very surprised. Still, she realised she probably shouldn't have been. Then again, looking at Zerase in her heavy black cloak and black robes keeping to herself save for the occasional snide remark it became strangely easy to forget that the only skin of hers you ever saw clearly was her chest since even her face was usually hidden under her cloak's hood. Not only that, it was easy to somehow not notice that the only thing protecting the druid's decency were two strips of black cloth which could be easily brushed aside.

Which they just had been.

Nikea felt the blush draining from her face as she saw Zerase so casually expose her pale breasts to her and felt the blood rushing to her new member, which had suddenly become really noticeable.

"How about now?" Zerase asked.

"Definitely feeling something," Nikea managed.

"Excellent," Zerase said, sounding quietly pleased. "It seems the rune works adequately at least. Very well. I will remove the rune now, if you wish. Unless you would like to keep for a bit longer, of course. Or..."

The dark druid circled and teased one of her bare nipples with a slender finger. Nikea swallowed hard.

"Perhaps you would like to show me the effects of your new rune after all. Your choice."

"Err... well..."

"I see," said Zerase. "I suppose it was unfair to ask this much of you so quickly. I'll take away the rune, then."

"Wait," said Nikea as Zerase moved to cover up her breasts again.

"Yes?"

Nikea hesitated. She had no idea what she was going to say. 'Course, she usually had no idea what she was gonna say, but if the chips were down she could figure out what she wanted. And what she wanted right now was... what?

OK, fine, underneath all that icy bitterness Zerase was pretty attractive and she couldn't deny that her body was reacting to her. But still, was that reason enough?

"I'm not known for my patience, Nikea," said Zerase. "Decide."

Nikea suddenly found herself smiling. What the hey. She'd idly wondered about what it'd be like to have a dick once or twice and here was an opportunity to find out. So... why not?

The tanned fighter hooked her thumbs into the waistline of her pants and slid them down slowly. She couldn't help but grin when she heard the druid's sudden intake of breath or how her dark eyes seemed to sparkle underneath that hood of hers as her new and hardening cock came into view.

"There," she said, kicking away her pants. "Like what you see?"

"Indeed I do," said Zerase, stepping closer. "May I?"

"Wasn't that your intention from the start?"

"That would have depended on the rune's effects on you."

Nikea gasped a little when she felt Zerase put the palm of her hand against her member and move it carefully. She'd expected the woman's hand to be cold - everything about it suggested it, after all - but instead it was pleasantly warm. Very pleasantly warm. Nikea felt her hand cause arousal to explode through her body. She'd definitely made the right choice here.

"Remarkable," Zerase murmurred.

"Something like that," Nikea breathed.

Zerase kneeled on the floor and Nikea couldn't help noticing how close her new dick was to the druid's mouth. Apparently, the druid had noticed it as well. Her lips parted and her tongue slid out, licking her cock from the base to the tip. Nikea moaned while Zerase dragged her tongue up her shaft, the heat within her spreading through every inch of her body and becoming hotter by the second.

But it seemed Zerase wasn't intending on using her mouth to pleasure her. Not yet, anyway. Instead the pale druid wrapped her fingers around her now completely rigid shaft and began moving up and down. Nikea felt her legs beginning to tremble as her lust burned brighter with every careful stroke. She hadn't felt this good since that nobleman's daughter had shown her this amazing trick with her tongue. Did all guys feel like this when someone jacked them off or did it have something to do with the rune's magic? She'd have to ask Zerase. But not right now.

Zerase continued stroking her with a curiously efficient ease, as though she'd had a lot of experience with this kind thing. Heck, for all Nikea knew she did. Her grip was firm yet gentle and her strokes seemed perfectly measured to send wave after precisely timed wave of pleasure up through her body and forcing another lustful moan from her lungs.

Nikea couldn't stop a disappointed whine when the druid's hand stopped moving and her fingers uncurled. That disappointment quickly evaporated in the heat of her tongue once again licking at her new shaft, leaving thin, shining trails of saliva all over her hard flesh. The feelings of pleasure Zerase awakened in her body were somehow different now; unfocused and erratic, but no less enjoyable, causing Nikea to pant and whine and moan without rhyme or reason as the druid's nimble tongue danced up and down her rigid member.

"Yes, that should do nicely," Zerase whispered as pulled back and let her fingers wrap around Nikea's shaft again.

"For... what...?" Nikea managed.

The pale druid didn't bother to reply with words. Instead she moved up so that it was no longer her face that hovered right in front of her cock, but her still-exposed breasts. Nikea almost screamed with rapturous joy when she felt their soft flesh wrapping around her slick shaft. Zerase began stroking her again - using her breasts this time - to, in Nikea's somewhat inexperienced opinion, great effect. The lust filling her didn't have the hot calculation of her hand or the almost playful erraticness of her tongue, but it did have a sort of exuberant depravity, an intense joy taken in the fact that her pleasure came from something people preferred to keep hidden in polite company and probably wasn't really intended for this anyway.

From what Nikea could tell through the fog of lust clouding her mind, she got the feeling she wasn't the only one who was really happy with the fact that her dick was between Zerase's tits. She'd been very collected when she'd held her cock in her hand and when her tongue had so quickly slickened her shaft she'd seemed in perfect control. But now that her breasts were sliding up and down her member, something about her had changed. Nikea could hear it in the way she breathed. The druid was actually excited - or as excited as someone as cold as she could be. Somehow this knowledge made everything feel even better. Nikea hadn't thought it possible, but then again today had been filled with things she hadn't thought possible.

One of the things she hadn't thought possible was the idea that Zerase of all people would ever give her an orgasm, but she knew it was coming. She could feel it building up with every stroke of the eager druid's breasts. Strangely though she could feel the concentrated pleasure building inside her somewhere near the base of her shaft instead of throughout the entire length of her body which was usually the case. Maybe it had something to do with the difference between cocks and pussies, maybe it had something to do with the fact that somewhere near the base of her shaft was where Zerase's rune had placed itself. Not that it mattered.

Nikea grunted with effort, willing her body not to climax. It wasn't as if pale women used their breasts to pleasure her suddenly hermaphroditical body every day and she wanted to experience it for as long as she could. But for as much control as she had over her own body during fights, she was nearly powerless here. There was only so long the lustful build-up could be contained and the warmth of Zerase's moving breasts didn't help things.

One long groan escaped from Nikea's lips when she came, a sudden burst of pleasure jolting through her. She felt her climaxing cock twitch and convulse as her sperm landed on the druid's dark cloak and pale skin. Nikea felt Zerase continue using her breasts to stroke her throughout her orgasm and it seemed her task became easier while more and more of her seed coated more and more of her breasts and her cock.

Nikea finally got a grip on her shuddering body and her chest heaved as she fought to get her breath back when her climax passed. Apparently sensing this, she felt Zerase move away and then saw her stand up.

The pale druid was a complete mess. Globs of whitish semen stained most of her black cloak and neck rings and strands of the stuff were draped all over face, forcing one eye closed. Even as she watched, a drop of her seed formed at her angular chin and fell down on top of her breasts. Not that it made any difference, since the top of her breasts were practically shining with the evidence of her recent orgasm. Yet even through all this there was actually something that almost seemed like a smile on Zerase's face.

Nikea was about to apologise for the mess she'd made when she heard a faint hissing. The blobs of semen that had landed on her clothes were trembling like water on a hot plate and, like water, evaporated without leaving a single trace.

"Neat trick," Nikea said weakly.

"It has its uses," Zerase replied calmly.

"Too bad your skin doesn't work the same way."

Zerase delicately used her fingers to wipe away the seed that had fallen onto her eye, then licked it up. "Mmm."

"You're... that's not really how you're gonna clean yourself, is it?"

"Of course not," said Zerase. "Besides, why should I deny you the opportunity?"

Nikea had to admit the idea of licking her own semen off Zerase's exposed skin was almost tempting. Even her spent dick seemed to twitch in an effort to rise up again.

"Maybe some other time."

"You've decided to keep the rune then?" Zerase said, her voice becoming reassuringly cold and businesslike again.

"I dunno. Can I?"

"If you want. However, I must insist that every day you bear that rune you come visit me. So that I can keep an eye on things."

"Deal."

Zerase nodded. "Very well. Now leave me be. I have matters of my own to attend to."

"Right."

Nikea quickly gathered her few discarded clothes and left. It was only after the door had closed behind her that she realised she'd completely forgotten about the food Zerase had promised her.

Oh well. It didn't really bother her. She could always ask again tomorrow. And if Zerase managed to make her forget about it again, well... she had a feeling she wouldn't really mind.
