A Long Time from Home Ch. 13

"Winter solstice..." I said automatically and then translated into a modern date. "Ehh... December 21." I chuckled. "My mom used to say that the reason for me being so stubborn, was that I was born during a solar eclipse at the winter solstice."

Karen was clearly amused at that. "Well, if I remember what my grandmother told me about Chinese astrology, being born at the winter solstice, means you're cheerful, lucky and... extremely stubborn." She thought for a moment. "A solar eclipse means that you're fearless, independent and ruthless against your enemies." She opened her eyes and looked at me. "Does that description fit?"

"Pretty much right on." I admitted with a smile, causing her to laugh and then ask. "Okay... You don't remember where you're from, but did you mother tell you where you were born?"

"Egypt." I said truthfully and chuckled when Karen looked surprised. Smiling, I explained. "Besides being a gifted storyteller, my dad was a teacher and at the time my sister and I was born, he was working in Egypt, so my parents lived there."

She accepted that with a nod and closed her eyes again, as I slid my hand further up her soft legs.

"Oh, that feels good.... " She paused. "A simple question... What's your favourite colour?"

In my head, I translated the Baylon name of the colour. "Twilight blue... The dark blue colour, the sky takes after the sun have gone, but before night really starts."

"Yeah... that is a lovely colour." She smiled and then slowly asked. "Have you ever been with an Asian woman before? I mean... Have you had sex with an Asian woman before you met me?"

"Yes." I answered with a smile.

"Oh..." She chuckled, "No names, I guess."

"Well... normally I don't give out names or details on women I've been with, but one of them was a Chinese by the name of Yang Jia." I said and smiled at the memory. "She was the daughter of my Martial Arts trainer and that's all I'm going to say about her."

"You little devil!" exclaimed Karen with a laugh. "What did your teacher say to that?"

"Nothing really." I brushed my fingers against the lips of her wet pussy. "Next question."

She shivered and spread her legs a little more, making the skirt climb up and granting me easier access to her. "Okay... ehhh... I don't know... You said earlier that your martial arts form was called Penglai Wind Dragon. I never heard about that form before. Where does it come from?"

"Penglai." I said truthfully, knowing that she would never accept that answer.

Like all Baylon castles, Penglai, or Arcem Discendi, had been infused with magic, causing it to self-destruct and disappear, when the magic eventually consumed it. I don't know exactly when it happened, but the castle had been there, when I visited after Alexander the Great had died, which according to Rita was around 320 BCE.

The next time I had visited the area was after Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed, which again according to Rita was around 80 CE, the castle was gone and as I moved on, I discovered that it already had become a legend on the mainland. I had thought that nobody remembered it anymore, but apparently, I was wrong.

Karen proved me wrong by laughing softly. "Ivan, I've heard many strange claims from Martial Artists in regard to where their art comes from, but it's the first time I've heard anybody claiming a style from Mount Penglai."

I shrugged helplessly, while my fingers followed the outline of her lower lips from the clitoris all the way down, feeling the wetness.

"Yessss." Karen murmured, as she closed her eyes, but after a few heartbeats, she opened them again and gave me a mock evil stare. "Stop distracting me... Are we talking about the same Mount Penglai? The legendary mountain, where there's no winter, bowls and wine glasses never become empty and magical fruits can heal anything?"

Stunned, I stopped moving my fingers.

If you removed the mythical aspect of the description, Arcem Discendi was exactly as she had just said. Located south of the mainland, the climate had been warm, with little snowfall. Much of the tableware had been magically enchanted to refill, if given a command word, and the 'magical fruits' had to be healing herbs assisted by healing powers.

I managed to nod. "Yes, that mountain, but don't ask how the style got that name."

The style had started out as Ars Pugna, which was Baylon for 'The Art of Combat' and over the years, some moves had been added, while others had been changed or eliminated, but it wasn't really something I could explain to her.

"Oh." She said with a soft chuckle, "Well, it's an interesting style."

"Thanks." I said with a smile. "I hope 'interesting' means good."

"In this case it does. It looked and felt... well balanced." She thought for a moment. "Does include weapon styles of any kind?"

"Yes. Knives, swords and clubs." I answered. "How about Chai Family style?"

"The same. We train with swords, both Jian and Dao, staffs, and clubs. It used to include spears, but since it's meant to be used in self-defence and nobody walks around with a spear anymore, we stopped training that."

She wiggled her hips a bit and laughed. "You're welcome to start distracting me again."

Not wanting to be disturbed, I reached out with my mind and found the twins. They were fast asleep.

Smiling to myself, I turned my attention back to the wonderful woman in front of me and watching her face, I inserted a finger into that warm and wet heaven.

Her full lips parted slightly as she moaned a "Yesss." The sight became even more erotic as she shivered and licked her lips, as my finger made its way into her.

Then she opened her eyes and looked at me. "You do like taking it slowly, don't you?"

"Yes, I love the feeling of you around me." I answered, as I moved my finger around in a circle inside her. The movements made her close her eyes again and moan as she arched her back.

I withdrew the finger as slowly, as I had inserted it and stood up. "I think that we have waited long enough... the twins have to be sleeping by now."

It took her only a moment to get out of the bliss and then she was on her feet. "I agree."

Taking my hand, she more or less dragged me through the house, until we reached my bedchamber.

--------

As soon as the door was closed and locked, Karen drew me in for another kiss, but this time the kiss was softer, more controlled and enjoying. It was also extremely passionate and before long we were taking turns undressing each other, kissing in between.

When we were both naked, she directed me to the bed and pushed me down on it.

"My turn." She declared with a smile as she crawled onto the bed after me and started caressing my lower legs.

Placing a pillow behind my head, I relaxed as I watched the beautiful woman work her warm hands up past my knee and then played with her fingers on my thighs.

The touch sent tingles up and down my leg, which was only enhanced when she lowered her body and started licking her way up my thigh towards my stiff cock, dragging her soft breasts and hard nipples across my leg.

I sighed with contend when her hand finally reached my cock and slid over it with a silken touch, while her tongue continued to make moist tails on my skin.

Without removing hand or mouth, she moved her legs and lower body over my leg, pushing her body down and backwards as she did so and suddenly, my foot was between her legs and I could feel her wet pussy rubbing against the bridge of it.

She stayed there for a while, caressing and stroking my cock, moaning softly as she grinded against me. Then tenderly, almost hesitantly, she moved upwards inch by inch, licking everything she could come into contact with, eventually reaching my balls.

The feel of her tongue swirling on my balls, combined with the gentle stroking, the warmth of her skin against mine, the softness of her breasts and the way she moaned were driving me crazy and I could feel the need to be inside her building in my brains.

I ignored the animal instinct and concentrated on enjoying the moment instead, moaning as her caresses and licks sent shivers down my spine.

Moving upwards once again, her short black hair obscured my view of what was going on, but then I felt her lips close around the head of my cock, licking and using the lips like it was one of the giant ice creams I had seen downtown, while one hand caressed the shaft and the other teased my balls with a touch that was light as a feather.

I groaned my enjoyment, reached out, and ran my fingers through her short silky hair, causing her body to stiffen and then relax, while I continued to toy with her hair and massaging the scalp.

For a time, I just lay there, enjoying what she did to me but eventually, I felt the need to feel her, taste her, smell her, and bury myself in her. "Turn around, Peach. I want to lick you."

Without answering or even removing her mouth from my cock, she simply turned her body, lifted a leg and swung it over me.

Taking hold of her hips, I guided her down until her stomach rested against my chest and her nipples pressing into my abdomen, with her sweet pussy within easy reach of my mouth.

Her intoxication aroma filled my nose as I began to lick her.

Moaning she started to stroke up and down with her lips. Her fingers gently caressed my balls, one of them reaching below to tickle my anus while her agile tongue flicked on the head.

Groaning into her pussy, I put her clitoris under attack from my lips and tongue for a while, making her moan and building her up towards an orgasm. However, before she reached it, I gave it a rest again, licking along the slit, teasing the lips. Spreading the lips with my tongue, I gave the opening a good licking and then worked my way back to her clitoris.

Totally absorbed in the moment, the world around us disappeared as we both concentrated on giving pleasure, enjoying the feel, taste and sound of each other.

There was no rush towards orgasm, but a wave of bliss on which we both floated and each time one of us came a bit too close to orgasm, a warning squeeze was enough to tell the other to slow down a bit, so the wave could continue.

I have no idea about how long this went on, but eventually Karen moved her mouth from my cock and mumbled. "Sorry, my jaws can't take it anymore."

Resisting the temptation to make her come, I turned my head and kissed her inner thighs as I gave her hips a hug. "No problem and damn it was good."

"It was fantastic." She said and got off me. Then she turned around and looked at my face, at my cock and at my face again, shaking her head slightly. "I still don't get it... that's normally the kind of sex I only get from Alice and Rita and not from guys." She reached out and closed her fingers around my cock, feeling it pulsing in her hand. "I want to ride you, but I also want to hug you... " She looked at me with a smile. "You decide."

"Both." I answered with a grin, while I reached out and took a condom from the nightstand.

Seeing it, she chuckled. "You bought your own condoms."

"Yes... I didn't know how many you had here." I didn't mention that I had used four condoms to practice putting them on myself, so I wouldn't look like a complete beginner.

Taking it out of my hands, she opened the package and rolled it on me.

Then she surprised me by mumbling, "Hugging can wait."

She threw her left leg over me, reached down between her thighs, and guided my cock to the right place before she carefully pressed down.

"Mmmnnnnnn." She moaned, as the head slipped inside and pushed her hips down to take the rest of it into her. Even with all the slickness from her natural juices, her pussy was wonderfully snug, and she started to move up and down in a slow careful rhythm, gradually taking more and more inside her until she had impaled herself completely on me.

The feeling of her quivering pussy around me felt incredibly good and I let my hands roam over her body, stroking her sides, fondling her firm breasts.

Karen shivered and sat still for a few heartbeats, looking like she savoured the feeling. Then she lifted off me. Slowly moving, until I was almost out of her, before she lowered herself again, moaning softly.

When she reached the bottom once again, she panted. "Oh... fuck... I'm so turned on, that this is making me come."

I removed my hands from her breasts and took a firm grip on her hips, holding them still. "Wait."

She looked surprised, but sat still, closing her eyes and shivered, her vaginal muscles clenching and unclenching around my cock.

I waited until her tension had subsided and reached around her firm buttocks.

Feeling her lower lips against my fingertips, I eased out a little bit, spread them with my fingers and whispered. "Sit down."

She did it and with one slow and careful move, my cock slipped even deeper into her, until it reached the bottom at the same time as her pelvis touched mine.

It was a perfect fit and almost immediately, her pussy started pulsing again.

"Oh... oh..." she panted and bit her lips. "Oh god... I'm so close."

"Drag it out." I whispered with a smile.

Karen nodded and sat still until she could breathe normally again.

I spread my legs a little and raised my upper body, so I could warp my arms around her in hug. It also brought her breasts to the level of my face, and I licked them as she started to moan again.

"Put your legs around me." I said and started to play with her nipples.

It took a little bit of moving, each move causing her to moan, but eventually I was sitting with Karen on top of me, with her arms and long legs wrapped around me and my cock inside her.

The sensation made me shiver and I used my hands to caress her silken skin.

Karen hugged me closer. "Damn, you feel good."

"You too. Now go with the flow and whatever you do, don't stop breathing."

"I'll try." She promised.

With my hands on her back, I spread my legs, until I sat almost cross-legged, lowering Karen and bringing her face down to mine while my cock slid further into her.

"Oh fuck... this is awesome!" She gasped and kissed me hungrily.

I returned the kiss and started a gentle rocking motion that allowed me to move forth and back into her, a little bit at a time. Karen helped by using her leg muscles to pull in deeper.

She hugged and caressed me while I did the same with her, our bodies melding into a single entity of pure passion and bliss.

Her mouth found mine again as her moans intensified slowly but surely.

"Oh my god." She gasped. "Slow down or I'm gonna come."

I was hardly moving but sat still until she had stopped trembling before I started again.

"Hold me tight." She whispered.

I placed a hand on her back, pressing her as close to me as possible, while doing the same with a hand on her butt, caressing her buttocks.

"Don't hold back now, Peach. " I whispered into her ear. "Come for me."

She didn't answer but kissed me tenderly and passionately. Her hips started to move, grinding her clitoris against my pelvic bone, as she rocked back and forth on my cock. Her breathing became quick and shallow, while her movements gradually became more hectic.

With a moan, Karen broke the kiss, buried her head against my neck and used it to muffle her scream when she came, squeezing me hard with both limbs and pussy.

I held her until the spasms ended and took a hold of her hips, pushing them away from me and making my cock slide out, before pulling her towards me until I was balls deep in her again.

"Oh!" she grunted in surprise. Shivering, she grabbed my head and kissed me deeply, moaning as our tongues played and my cock were buried in her again and again.

I picked up the pace a bit, pushing deeper and getting a beautiful reaction from her as the moaning escalated and tell-tale muscle spasms started.

She pulled my mouth away and gasped. "Oh fuck... I'm coming again!"

Looking at her, I smiled at the lovely sight and kissed her when her body tensed.

Instead of easing through her orgasm, I continued at the same speed, her body gently rocking with each move.

She was shaking and gasping, coming in delightful clenching of her pussy and I could feel that it was working me up, getting me close, so I slowed a bit.

Opening her mouth, she came again in a wordless cry. She arched her back and gave me a fierce hug so tight, that I almost couldn't breathe.

That actually helped me, since it brought me away from the edge of coming and as soon as her arms relaxed a bit, I resumed the movements.

"Ohmygod... Umph!" I heard from her, and my cock was being rhythmically squeezed by the muscles in her pussy.

She buried her head in my neck as before, effectively muting any sounds from her.

It was a wise precaution, because when she came once more, it wasn't with a small shriek. A low howl built up from her chest while her hips trashed against me.

Her body tensed, relaxed, and tensed again as she went into a state of ecstasy.

She arched back against my hands and relaxed with her eyes closed, smiling in ecstasy, as she groaned and moaned in total bliss, while the feeling of her pussy pulsing around my cock was enough to send her from one orgasm into the next. Muscles all over her beautiful body twitched playfully as waves of pleasure pulsed through her.

I sat still, enjoying her muscle spasms around me. The worst thing I could do now, was trying to anything to heighten her pleasure: She was already as high as one could possibly get.

Instead, I held her, caressed her, and marvelled in the sight and feel of her coming. It was without a doubt the best feeling in the world.

I don't know how long we sat like that, but eventually she came out of the ecstasy and gave me a wordless hug, while she caught her breath.

"Amazing." she mumbled and kissed my shoulder. The she squeezed my cock, feeling its stiffness.

"And you didn't even come."

"Not yet."

She leaned back a bit and kissed me. "But you were close. I could feel that."

"Oh yeah." I said with a shiver. "I love the feeling of being right on the edge."

There was amusement in her slanted brown eyes, when she said, "You use the rhythm to control yourself, don't you?"

Unsure where she was going, I nodded. "Yeah... Rhythm, breathing and self-control." Thinking about it, I added. "The condom helps as well."

"Nice to know." She said with a grin as she moved her legs to the side and leaned forward, forcing me to lay down flat on the bed. Then she slowly lifted herself of my dick and unto the bed, before she swung her legs unto the floor and stood up in all her glorious nakedness. "I'm hungry... Let's get dressed and go raid the kitchen... and then it's your turn to come."

Smiling I followed her lead. Most women would have curled up in the bed after that, but I had clearly underestimated the endurance of this young athletic woman.

-------

As it turned out, Rita and Alice had the same idea, because when Karen and I reached the kitchen, they were sitting by the dinner table chatting, dressed in panties and t-shirts.

"How's the score?" asked Rita with a wink when we entered.

Karen chuckled. "Ivan won first set twenty-one to zero, but the game isn't over yet."

I realized they were using volleyball references and smiled to myself, before asking. "Anybody made tea?"

Alice nodded and lifted the kettle "Sure... Grab a cup."

I did and leaned back against the kitchen table with my cup, observing the three women as they joked around, eating and drinking.

Judging from the state of their hair and general glow, Rita and Alice have just had good, lengthy sex. I knew what Karen had been through, and still they were all three brimming with energy, which again spoke volumes about their health and endurance.

Alice noticed my silence and asked, "What're you thinking about, Ivan?"
