Chapter 256 Bed Roulette
Chapter 256 Bed Roulette
After everyone unloaded, Rexa started a fire, and once the light that she made came to life, I got to work setting up a tent that I brought along for just such occasions. The reason that I had brought a tent was that I wanted to have a private place where I could sleep with one of the girls at a time. A slumber party was fine, but I was not going to be getting anything with all the other girls around, especially not Elfinia.
That woman was still cold as ice and refused to even get out of the carriage, but that was fine for now. There were still things to do, but it wasn't like I had enough help from the rest of the girls.
"Do you need help with that?" Velma asked, and I smiled.
"Sure, where is your other half? Should I be worried?" I teased, and Velma giggled.
"I sent her with Breya and Claire to go get wood. I am pretty sure that she should be fine with the Angel. She is pretty scary after all," Velma said but then paused. "Or, she used to be really scary, but now she treats us like little sisters when she sees us. Thank you for that. If you wouldn't have let us drink your blood, I don't think I could have Daphne go with her now."
"I am trying to make it so you all can live peacefully, but there is never going to be a feeling of perfect peace. The best that we can hope for is a place where you aren't assholes to each other, and you can work together. There is a lot of work left to do, but I have no grand illusions of making this world some perfect utopia like Yaggisdral. This world is always going to have its rough edges; I am just here to get rid of all the sharp ones," I chuckled.
Once the tent was up, we moved towards the fire. It was already cold, and I knew that we were going to need warmth soon.
"So, what should we eat tonight? I am feeling like munchies!" Eliza complained as she came to sit on my lap, and I shook my head.
"No, we need to get ready for tomorrow. With the weather the way that it is, we are going to need a full day of travel tomorrow. So, let's keep it simple and warm," I said, and Eliza crossed her arms in disappointment.
"I guess that means that I will just have to wait for the next meal to come to me," she said with a frown and sat down. After the sunset, Rexa pulled out a few pots and a little stove that heated water for tea.
"Would you enjoy some hot chocolate?" Rexa asked, and Eliza sighed with a nod as she leaned back against my chest. Chili hopped up next to her, and I petted her between the ears as she purred.
"I would like some! It is making my nips pointy out here!" Chili complained as she cuddled into me, and I laughed.
"It will be fine when you get back in the carriage. There is an electric furnace going in there, so everyone will have a good sleep," I replied, and Velma giggled.
"Who gets to sleep with you in the tent?" Velma asked curiously, and all the girls except for the ex-goddesses, Skylar and Rexa, looked at me expectantly.
"Oh, who knows?" I teased, and Rexa began heating the water, coming close to me. "It will be warmer and safer in the carriage."
"I do not mind sleeping on the floor. Besides, I am going to be riding with you anyway," Rexa said, and I shook my head as I got up.
"Then I guess you will just have to stay warm with me," I said, and Rexa looked back at me with surprise, but the other girls that cared all agreed with me before she could speak.
"Umm, if you think that is the best idea, but I am sure that some of these other girls would prefer it be them than just some stranger like me, right?" Rexa asked, but Eliza shook her head from my lap.
"No, most of us that want time with Galio have had personal time with him, and you should really get to know him better. I think that it will be good for you," Eliza said, and I kissed her cheek, making her smile and kiss me back.
"Besides, I am sure that he will want to spend time with you too. He likes you, and I am sure that you will find it easy to get along with him," Eliza added, and Rexa blushed deeply.
"Oh? But I really don't..." Rexa began, but I cut her off.
"He is a god, Rexa. He is immortal and needs no sleep, so it doesn't matter how long he stays awake. Also, you seem to know more than anyone else here about Golems and what they like, so I trust your judgment in this," Eliza told her gently, and Rexa huffed quietly as she poured the hot chocolate into cups.
"Ok, but I'm not going to force him. That is his choice," Rexa said, and I sighed as I leaned back into my seat with a big smile.
This interaction was really cute to watch as Eliza basically courted Rexa into my bedroll. Not that I expected anything naughty to happen, but it was still interesting to watch.
After we had finished eating some food, the girls had brought and said good night to the girls and closed the door to the carriage, placing a spell over it. Then I placed a warning and a number of defensive spells to make any monster think twice about attacking us. The last thing that I did was put up a heat barrier around the tent that would keep the two of us warm.
Rexa climbed into the tent with me, where there were two bedrolls, but someone had already zipped them together. There wasn't a lot of room in the tent, so both of us took off our heavy clothes and got into the bedrolls.
I laid down beside her and put my arm around her, and Rexa snuggled up to me. Once I was comfortable, I decided that I was probably not going to fall asleep anytime soon. Rexa felt the same way, though, and she turned over to face me.
Her silver hair fell across my bare chest and stomach, and I looked over her naked metallic body. It was not like a normal woman, but not that much different. The main difference was the lack of nipples. I couldn't see between her legs, but I was very interested in that part.
That had been one of the first things that I had wondered when I met her, but I wasn't going to go for the gold the first time I got her in bed. Rexa wasn't some sex bot, and I needed to try to take my time with her.
"You have a very interesting body. Do you mind if I scan you? I will touch you," Rexa asked, and I nodded with a smile. I did not mind at all!
