The slime pond glowed beneath Virael, its surface rippling with an almost eager anticipation, as if it sensed her presence and beckoned her closer.
She stood at the edge, her bare toes curling slightly against the cool stone, her naked form illuminated in the emerald light—lean muscles taut, breasts firm, spiraled horns casting faint shadows.
A flicker of curiosity danced in her eyes as she studied the translucent, living liquid.
With a measured breath, she stepped forward, one foot sinking slowly into the slime.
It was denser than water, thicker, clinging to her skin like a lover's touch—warm yet cool, a paradox that made her pause.
She slid deeper, her calves, then thighs, enveloped as she lowered herself, the slime rising to her hips, then her waist, until she stood neck-deep in its embrace.
It felt like sinking into a vast, liquid pudding—soft but unyielding, coating every inch of her in a slick, intimate grip.
The sensation was strange, almost comforting.
The slime didn't burn or sting; it simply was—a gentle weight against her skin, soothing in its coolness.
For a fleeting moment, Virael felt her shoulders loosen, the tension of her guild duties slipping away.
She leaned back against the cave wall, the slime cushioning her spine, its glow casting her face in soft green hues.
Her eyelids grew heavy, drowsiness creeping in as the pond's hum blended with the distant moans of the other women.
Maybe I can relax, she thought, the idea foreign yet tempting.
Her breaths slowed, her head tilting back, the world fading into a hazy calm.
A minute passed in stillness, the slime cradling her like a quiet promise.
She was almost lulled, her mind drifting, when a subtle shift broke the trance.
The density around her changed—something within the slime moved, a ripple inside a ripple.
Her eyes snapped open, drowsiness vanishing as her senses sharpened.
The slime stirred, its texture thickening, coiling around her torso in a slow, exploratory embrace.
It wasn't sexual—not yet—just a gentle pressure, like invisible hands testing her contours.
Tendrils, thick and pliable, looped around her waist, then released her, slipping back into the pool with a faint slosh.
Virael's brow furrowed, confusion flickering across her face.
What was that?
Before she could process it, the slime surged again, faster this time.
It crawled up her legs, tendrils coiling around her calves like silken ropes, winding tighter as they climbed to her thighs.
The sensation was alive—warm, slick, pulsing faintly—spreading across her stomach, her chest, her arms, until a thinner tendril curled delicately around her neck.
She tried to shift, but the slime held firm, its strength surprising, binding her like a living harness.
Her arms were pinned to her sides, her legs locked in place, her body suspended in the pond's grip.
She couldn't move freely, and for the first time, a faint prickle of unease stirred beneath her calm—though her face remained impassive, her breath quickening slightly.
Then came the smaller tendrils—delicate offshoots sprouting from the main coils, like threads of liquid silk.
They crawled across her skin, starting as faint brushes that teased her nerves.
A tiny tendril grazed her nipple, circling it with agonizing slowness, and Virael's lips parted, a soft moan slipping out before she could catch it.
Her eyes widened, startled by her own voice—what had just happened?
A wave of pleasure had surged through her, sharp and fleeting, leaving her skin tingling.
She hadn't meant to react, hadn't expected it, but the slime didn't pause.
The tendrils multiplied, growing bolder—some as thin as hairs, others thicker, like fingers—exploring her body with a relentless curiosity.
A woman across the pond, her small bear-like ears twitching, moaned louder now, her voice a piercing wail that cut through Virael's haze.
Her face was contorted—eyes squeezed shut, mouth gaping, drool glistening as the slime lifted her higher, tendrils pulsing between her thighs.
The sound grated, pulling Virael's attention, but the slime demanded it back.
The tendrils moved again, stroking her sensitive spots with a synchronized precision that bordered on cruel—her nipples were pinched gently by coiling threads; her neck tingled as a tendril traced her pulse; her clit throbbed under a teasing swirl, while another probed the rim of her asshole, soft but insistent.
Smaller tendrils danced across her knees, her elbows, the tender undersides of her breasts, even the curve of her spine—every touch igniting a spark, a chorus of pleasure that overwhelmed her senses.
Virael moaned again, louder this time, the sound raw and unbidden.
Her face transformed—gone was the stoic mask, replaced by an expression no different from the women around her.
Her eyes fluttered half-closed, pupils dilated in the green glow; her lips parted wide, a faint sheen of drool pooling at the corner; her cheeks flushed a deep, feverish red.
The pleasure didn't stop—it built, relentless, as the tendrils stroked and teased, each movement amplifying the last.
A thicker tendril squeezed her breasts, kneading them with a rhythmic pulse, while the smaller ones pinched her nipples harder, tugging them until they burned with delight.
Another tendril swirled faster around her clit, a wet, slippery dance that made her hips twitch involuntarily, while a third pressed just inside her asshole, not entering but teasing the sensitive rim with maddening lightness.
The overload was exquisite—too much, yet not enough.
Her moans grew constant, blending with the symphony of gasps and cries around her.
The bear-eared woman's wails peaked, her body shuddering as the slime surged around her, and Virael felt her own pleasure cresting, a tidal wave threatening to break.
The tendrils didn't relent—they pinched, stroked, squeezed, and teased, targeting every erogenous zone at once, as if the slime knew her body better than she did.
Her head tilted back, her horns glinting, her face a portrait of raw ecstasy—mouth agape, eyes rolling slightly, drool trailing down her chin—as the slime pushed her closer to the edge, its grip both captor and lover in the glowing heart of the den.
