Monster Girl Mayhem: Second Cumming

[MelissaB]

Laughing softly she shakes her head. "Oh More than likely yes, she seems like she is in one of those moods." Chuckling she sticks her tongue out at her mother while she herself gets a massage from Rahk. "I better not end up with any sisters after this. Wouldn't want to think you were replacing me now would I?" She smirks and turns her head tot he side once Azshara begins kneading her shoulders. Moaning softly she smiles and squirms beneath the lamia, soft sighs and cute little gasps coming from her lips as those hands work over her entire back. "Yeah feels great, please keep going." She calls back up before shivering with delight as the claws trail over her ass and legs, her eyes fluttering with pleasure from the teasing fingers. Moaning her shoots a glare back up at her Azshara for going to jsut plain groping her body. Moaning softly she pushes it back into her hands. "Got any ideas how to work that tension out?" Skarina offers being playfully coy, her eyes sparkling as she looks back with a grin.

[cryosabre]

Azshara raises her eyebrows and gives Skarina and innocent look when she throws her a glare, "Something wrong dear? though letting out a chuckle as she feels the half dragon push her ass back into her hands, "I can certainly think of a few ways.." Lowering her head further down her long serpentine tongue slowly licks up Skarina's spine from the base all the way to the top of her neck. While her tongue is climbing the half dragon's body, Azshara starts to kneed Skarina's ass, pushing the cheeks together then pulling them apart as she applies constant pressure with the palm of her hands and 4 main fingers, her thumbs traveling lower down, rubing softly at her inner thighs, mere centimeters away from how lower erogenous zone.

[MelissaB]

Mumbling under her breath she slowly grins before gasping as that tongue runs up her spine, shivering with delight as she is teased and fondled. "Oh yeah? Why don't you try a few and see if they work." She offers with a grin her legs spreading a little as those digits gets closer to her sex. Her wings twitch and her talons curl as quiet groans of pleasure emit from her throat. Slowly she drags her legs under her pushing her ass up further towards Azshara, presenting the taut flesh to the lamia as her knees go under her to rest against her belly. Her eyes close as a satisfied smile encompasses her features, ignoring everything else in the tent, just enjoying herself with this slow, teasing foreplay. In her new position her pussy being revealed to the girl behind her, showing the puffy aroused state Skarina is in from being under the the woman's fingers and that tantalizing tongue.

[cryosabre]

Smiling as her feels Skarina's body shiver in response to her tongue running up her spine, "Well I suppose your wish is my command." Azshara waits for Skarina to finish adjusting her body position before she moves back slightly, allowing herself to lower down so her face was level with the half dragons exposed crotch. She wastes no time in running her nails down either side of Skarina's legs while her long tongue leaves her mouth, licking around the edges of the aroused pussy in front of her loving the taste of Skarina's juices on her tongue, "My my, you are enjoying this aren't you? you're getting wetter by the minute dear." Moving in as she says it to cover the pussy with her mouth and deliver long slow licks from top to bottom, parting the folds with her serpentine tongue, occasionally pushing her tongue inside the pussy a couple of inches and lapping up the juices inside Skarina before pulling out and continuing the treatment. Azshara wasn't afraid to admit she was getting rather horny herself at giving Skarina this treatment and it wasn't long before her dick started to unsheathe itself, clearly visible below her to anybody that looked.

[Albedo28]

With the fighting stopped Skarina and Azshara got into it right away as Viridia smiles at her daughter, "Oh now, Just because I want to spend some quality time sharing an activity with my daughter doesn't mean you have to get all huffy at me." She gives an exaggerated pout before turning to Kassandra who'd just made her self known. The dragoness reached forward and pulled Kassy to her, "Why don't you lay down so I can use you as a lovely little cushion, hmm? That way I can get a taste... of a couple of things you have for me." It's then that Skarina unleashes her fiery breath upon her mother, bathing her and the two monsters near her in the warm feeling it gives.

With a giggle Viridia looks over toward her daughter, "I've not been breathing on everyone yet but since you're blaming me for it already..." With a deep inhale the dragon opens her maw and lets forth a billowing pink flame that coats nearly everyone in the tent, stopping just short of Tina's face near the entrance. The feeling sends everyone within into a much higher state of arousal and Pocka can suddenly feel her eyes gravitating toward Viridia, quite interested in seeing all she has to offer. At the same time Skarina's daughter begins to pull the hell hound's panties off and once they were at her knees, the draconic member she possessed began to rub between Pocka's naked legs.

Pulling Kassy over beside where Azshara and Skarina are enjoying their massage, Viridia forces the taur to lay on her back before softly laying herself down upon the excited healer. The holstaur's red member stood tall between the dragoness' thighs as he got comfortable and gave Kassandra's breasts a test squeeze to see what dribbled out for her. Looking to her daughter, the dragon piped up, "You seem to be having fun even if it's fun I demanded you have, honey. I know you like doing things at your own pace and all but momma's a bit strapped for time." She leans to the side and kisses Skarina on the cheek before she reaches down to Azshara and grabs the lamia's cock to give it a few tugs and let forth an amused giggle. Laying flat upon Kassy once more she looks over her shoulder, "OK, my lovely demon, friend. Show me the hospitality you've shown my daughter." Finished speaking for the moment she grinds her thighs along Kassandra's cock and takes one of the taur's nipples into her mouth, tasting what she has to offer.

Samuel fights to keep control of the Templar as your reach in to jab her right in the dig with the baton and another shocking zap issues from the impact. With a howl the woman stops her fighting as you notice her breeches showing a bit of a damp spot right between her legs and at the tip of the tent she'd pitched. Panting the knight squirms a bit on the ground as Sam keeps her held down even with her struggling ended. Determined to continue you jab her again and she cries out before panting like a bitch in heat as the damp spots grow larger and her head lolls upon her shoulders. She seems to try to form words only for them to fail her as she begins to speak time and again only to moan out needily instead.

Adrianna smirks as the knight finally gives into her urger. Tossing the baton to the side she grabs at Samuel "Are you ok? Do you need me to fix it?" The Valkyrie asks, conceded about her companion. Taking the time help Samuels nose she let's the knight suffer with a lust until she is satisfied with her effort. "Go ahead and get her hoyrse and she what she has, I'll deal with this one" she says to Samuel before turning her attention back to the knight. "So hun, now that you are a bit more agreeable why don't you tell me your name?" She says to the messenger and she starts to remove the girls armor, starting from her arms and working down.

[cryosabre]

Azshara's eyes opened wide when her body was bathed in the lust fire Viridia had spewed across everyone in the tent, her cock fully unsheathing and starting to throb as her own pussy became wet as a large wave of arousal spread across her body. Just as Azshara went to straighten up her body she felt a powerful hand wrap around her cock and give it a few pumps serving only to cause droplets of pre to form on the head and further increase how much she wanted to plunge her dick into the woman kneeling in front of her. "I-It would seem your mother doesn't want us to wait, we should probably speed things up a bit hmm?" Breathing heavily from the newly built up lust, Azshara rises behind Skarina and rubs her ridged cock against the folds, lubing her dick up before placing one hand on Skarina's shoulder and the other on her hip, with her cock slick with the half dragons fem juices Azshara lines up her cock with the half dragons now soaking slit, "I hope you enjoy this as much as I know I'm going to dear." Without any further thought Azshara thrusts forward, using her hands on Skarina's body as leverage as she buries half of her throbbing 10 inch ridged cock inside the half dragon, letting out a low moan of ecstasy and pleasure at the feeling of the wet snatch wrapped around her draconic cock.

[MelissaB]

Moaning Skarina claws at the floor digging her talons into the ground as that long slender tongue explores her folds and love tunnel, making her squirm and writhe on the floor beneath Azshara. Casting a whimpering stare over at her mother she watches her before her eyes go wide and she lets out a long shuddering groan of pleasure as her body burns with the heated lust from her mother's breath. Squishing her eyes closed as her mother speaks her nods quickly barely listening to her as she tries to grind back against the lamia only to find her mother's hand blocking her as she shoots her a pout and needy stare. "Yes mom... yeah it seems she doesn't... I don't..." She trails off and gives Viridia a defeated look. Moaning she looks forward and squirms, her cunt lubing up the Lamia's shaft readily as it twitches and quivers with need. "Stop teasing me already!" She cries out before gasp as half of that thick cock slams home in her sodden box. Groaning she begins to rock her hips back and forth on Azshara's pole, slowly building up a steady pace not giving her lover time to adjust and begins assaulting her senses with her hot wet tunnel wrapped tightly around her cock.

[venomouswings]

Boss just barely reacted in time, ducking low to miss some of the fire but her right arm still got caught by the lustful flames. Her once cold body began to heat up as she became somewhat aroused, not good. "Well that's your tattoo done so I think it's time for me to go find some piece and quite." She grabbed her axe and attempted to make her way out of the tent, away from the other monsters to allow her body to calm down over time. If she get's out of the tent Boss goes to find a nearby tree to practise with her guitar, and to more importantly reminisce about the good old days.

[Meep Meepersons]

Rahk simply takes a deep breath and shus out everyone other then Viridia and sets herself to the right side of her and Kassy, regarding the cow as only a massage table with tit pillows and a dick for added fun. Then a bit of an Idea comes to her mind. "Splendid, I could use some Massage lubricants!" She exclaimes, basically unaffected by all the fire given she was already as horny as she could get pretty much. While everyone bickered, Rahk reached over and grabbed one of Kassy's tits, milking it firmly but not so firm it hurts, right into her other three hands. Rubbing the milk onto the palms of her hands she set her two right hands to exploring Viridia's back for any especially knotty spots while her other two hands jerked her and Kassy off for a more thick and slippery kind of 'lube'. Slicking her hands with pre, she began to massage Viridia's thighs while working the slutty cow herms dongle, alternating hands to really work that pre-cum into the Matronly Dragon's skin&scales. "M'lady, please do not hesitate to tell me if I am too rough...." She says softly, focusing only on pleasing the woman before her whom has captured her heart, even if only till morning.

[Gorutsuki]

Feeling the fiery wave of lust wash over her form Poka cooed in delight as she felt her lover lower her panties and rub their cock between her thighs. Looking back briefly at the half dragon she gave them a chaste kiss and giggled "I-I can't wait anymore dear, how about we show your totally sexy mother and grandmother how much you love me hmm?" Giggling the hellhound began to move her hips back and forth, feeling the draconic dick slide inbetween her thighs, dry humping her mate before letting out a moan. As she kept moving however she kept her hand on her lover's and helped to jerk herself off "should we join the others now? Or do you want me all to yourself for a bit?~" Watching all of the other monsters in the room give in to the feelings of the lust fire Poka couldn't help but to think about how lovely it would be if she could fuck and be fucked by all of them, her imagination making her more flushed and aroused as she quickened the pace of her and her partner's outercourse.

[VintageBass]

Kassy heads on in and got herself onto a bed, listening in on what the matronly dragon has to say before lying down on her back. She waits patiently for Viridia to finish up on her business, her cock standing upright and eagerly waiting to get some attention after so long. Her eyes watch the dragon attend to her daughter, blowing out the flames and feeling a surge of lustful energy coursing through her... and the next thing she recalls is feeling the dragon right on top of her and holding her down. The tauren squirms a bit, not really feeling comfortable about being held in such a position, but with how her cock is getting handled by Viridia's thighs and Rahk's touch, along with the two women drinking up the milk inside of the tauren's tits, Kassy moos out of ecstasy and squirms more out of pleasure than the need to escape.

The excitement, the flames burning in her lungs, and the skilled touch of the two women pleasuring her, Kassy's own desires are getting to the better of her as she works her arms around Viridia and slide on down to feel up the scaly being. She never had a chance to do such a thing and now that the opportunity is before her, along with how eager she is to take up on the tauren's offer from earlier, Kassy grins as she works her shaft against the dragoness's slit and prepares herself to enter. "Right, I will, my dear~" she cooed in response, before giving one strong thrust and pierce the dragoness as far as she can. Kassy moos in delight, finally get the chance to feel the wonderful sensation of a warm pussy around her cock again, and she looks at Viridia with the biggest smile on her face. "This is an absolute delight~!" she stated as she got her hips bucking and the sound of flesh smacking against scales echoing out.

[Albedo28]

While Azshara and Skarina line up and then begin to do the nasty, the dragoness looks over at her daughter and reaches a hand out to caress her cheek, "You look so beautiful right now, love." She purrs out before she lets out a lusty moan from Rahk's skillful hands on her back. Refocusing her attention on the sexy herm she was using as a bed Viridia lets out a low groan as the taur forces her whole cock straight inside the matron's tight pussy. "Oh my goodness, miss Kassy, someone's eager." She giggles, "I'm sure you'll make sure it's a delight for me too, won't you?" Her hips start to grind against Kassandra as she moves to compliment her thrusts and give them both more pleasure before she reaches back and spreads her ass cheeks while looking out of the corner of her eye at the four armed demon. "Go ahead and be rougher with me, my pet. I might be older than you but I can take what you dish out." With a wink she goes back to suckling on one of the holstaur's teats, enjoying the flavor of her special milk.

Off to the side Skarina's daughter continues to run her shaft between Pocka's legs, really getting into the whole environment just overflowing with sexual energy. She presses her head to Pocka's cheek and nuzzles against her for a moment before giving the hell hound a little kiss. Then speaking for the first time in a quiet hissing voice, "Why don't you choose one to take your cock while you take mine?" She lets out breathily before kissing her lover once more and using one of her many hands to trace along her stomach until she found the hell hound's clitoris and gave it a quick pinch. "Or we could just enjoy ourselves if it's too crowded for you." She says before pressing the tip of her cock against Pocka's folds, almost slipping inside but not putting enough pressure in to penetrate.

Samuel's nose looks like it may very well be broken. The skin is busted rather roughly and blood seeps from the break in his skin. Using some of the cloth from his sleeve you wrap it around the center of his head to keep pressure on it and soak up the blood until at least the injure stops bleeding. He assures you he's fine the whole time until you're finished and then he goes and gathers he horse, gun and baton before taking a look in her saddle bags.
You on the other hand spend time peeling off the Templar's armor, baring her powerful build to the air as you find she's a rather tough looking woman underneath that tough looking armor. "My name," she pants out, "is Mary." She goes about assisting you and removing all of the bits of metal and her padded gambeson until she lays there completely nude and unashamed of it. Her pert C cup breasts heave as she tries to keep herself calm but fails. Her eight inch cock, that stands where her clitoris should be, throbs with need and drips precum upon itself as she looks up at you, her eyes half lidded. Her whole body certainly resembled one of a knight as her six pack was clearly defined and her thighs looked like they could crush stone. Luckily she still had a bit of fat on her that helped smooth out her appearance and kept her looking feminine, despite the large throbbing cock. Her pink pussy that sat right where it should be looked entirely virginal from your angle which would also make sense for someone so dedicated to combat and martial exercises.

[VintageBass]

The tauren is feeling very much alive now, even with she is inhaling the fumes from a lovely elderly dragon woman. For so long, she has been itching to get back into the groove of fucking tight pussies, and now here comes the mother of one of her fellow monsters, wanting to escape the army chasing after her, and Kassy is first up to give the matronly dragoness the time of their lives. Her cries and moos as she gets suckled by Viridia, along with the tightness and her own grinding, fill up the tent along with the slapping of their hips is enough motivation to make this last. Hearing Viridia talking to Rahk about roughing her up, Kassy giggles as she picks up the speed. "Oh you don't have to tell me~" she mooed, a hand reaching down to help part Viridia's cheeks and squeeze them. "It's been so long, I need a good fuck~!"

Her eyes wander around as the tent delves into its orgy, noticing the hellhound getting petted by her dragon partner. Smiling at the erection Pocka is sporting, she reaches out and motions for her to come hither, licking her lips in wanting to get a taste of what the hellhound has to offer.

[MelissaB]

Groaning she rocks her hips back and forth on Azshara's pole, working a steady pace her cgroans of pleasure filling the air as the tent fills with the smell of sex this tent wide orgy seems to be commencing in before her mother's claws bring her from her the throws of pleasure to stare at her. Staring she pinches her eyes closed and shakes her head. "Get- Get off me!" She demands of the snake girl fucking her, her voice breaking as she fights to control herself and come back away from the lusty haze. Scrambling away from Azshara her claws and talons dig into the ground threatening to tear it up as she pulls herself away and try to throw or rather push the lamia off of her and get onto her own two feet. Looking less than happy Skarina glares at her mother before flapping her wings and shooting off out of the tent, blowing past Tina as she leaves the tent and flies off into the night, intent on using the cold air to calm herself down from the haze her mother set over everyone in the tent.

Flying through the air she sighs to herself and comes to rest, just gliding in the sky, beating her wings only to keep level and stop herself from descending towards the ground as she circles the camp. Deciding to be productive with this little tantrum she begins circling further and further from the tent keeping an eye out for any human sentries or scouts intent on looking for either her or the ancient dragon, someone could after all spotted her landing near here, or at least fly in this direction, or at the very least enjoy some time alone and the feel of flying through the sky.

[RussianTitan]

Adrianna takes in the Mary's body, licking her lips at the sight of her proud shaft and hard muscles that covered her body. She lays in between the legs of the knight, hands slowly moving up and down as her nails left little scrapes. Moving teasingly close to the knights shaft she gives it a light kiss, then runs her tongue along the length of her slit, moving onto her shaft to stop at the head. "Tell me Mary." She pauses to say before running another line with her tongue. "Are you loyal to me and mine?"

[cryosabre]

Azshara was happily focused on her task of pleasuring the elder dragon's daughter, her eyes were half closed and her breathing erratic as her draconic cock throbbed inside the half dragon's cunt as she worked up a steady rhythm in time with Skarina's own hips being forced back into her, causing Azshara to let out a pleasured hiss every time her cock hilted itself inside the half dragon. Azshara was so focused on the fucking she barely even registered Skarina's worded attempts at getting her to stop pounding deep into her pussy, she was only broken from her self inflicted lust trance when the half dragon dug her fore talons into the ground and used her back legs to push Azshara off and out of her. She stood in a daze for a second, unsure of what to do with herself as she watched Skarina glare at her mother before swiftly flying out through the entrance. Giving Viridia a small sidelong look of annoyance for having caused Skarina to leave, "Dragons..." Azshara muttered under her breathe as she looked about the tent and seen the dog pile she had previously ignored due to zoning out everyone but Skarina, not quite being able to help feeling jealous of the two other monsters currently enjoying Viridia first hand and what looked to soon be a third as the Holstaur beckoned for Pocka to come and join the fun. As horny and pent up as Azshara was she decided it would be best if she didn't add to the pile, Sara was still waiting by the fire outside after all, and she would be more than willing to take every inch of the serpent woman's cock.

Just as Azshara was leaving she noticed that the Warforged was merely sticking her head in the tent, missing out on all the fun inside, with a devious thought coming to her pent up mind Azshara slithered out of the tent and past the Warforged, giving her a polite nod and quietly saying "You should really give it a go in there dear, you never know, you might actually enjoy yourself." on her way past before quietly turning around and creeping up behind Tina as she watched the action inside the tent. When she was close enough Azshara attempted to wrap the metal woman's legs and waist up in her tail before trying to drag her inside the tent.

[venomouswings]

Boss spent a few minutes to herself to collect her thoughts. What did she actually remember about her death, and her time after that. She couldn't even remember how she ended up in that dungeon in the first place. She was sure she'd been like this for some time now but certain areas in her memory were taking longer to come back to her than some others.

"What's that matter not enjoying your new company?" Boss looked back to see feminine shadow like figure sit down next to her. "No not really, I spent a good few years of my life killing them to make a live, you of all people should know that." The shadow turned it's head, like it was looking at her. "So you realize who I am?" Boss gave a small smile. "Of cause I know, there aren't many people who can raise the dead but I just so happened to know one of them. And before you ask if I hate you for doing this, no I don't hate you, you know I could never hate you after I did so much for us." And now she had a second chance at getting revenge on who did this... she just had to remember. "It makes me happy to hear that from you... I'm sorry I can't be there to sustain you with my magic... I know you hate monsters... we've both lost-" "I'll deal with it. I agree every part of me is screaming to kill them for what there race has done but I don't have a choice, I need them to survive." It pained her to say it. "I should really head back just encase something happens." As she stood up the shadow looked at her, like she didn't want to take her eyes of her. "Don't worry I'll be fine. Just try and ease up on the necromancy till I find you Aurora." And with that Boss headed back to the camp. If nothing important happens she decides to improve her dress to give her some extra protection.

[Gorutsuki]

Feeling delighted that her lover had finally uttered something other than a moan or grunt Poka happily leaned in for another kiss before she giggled. "Your voice is rather sexy my dear, why don't you speak some more?" She asks in a tone that was a mixture of lust and confusion before hearing Kassy's words and smiling. "Well look no further my love, I think we have a volunteer" Moving away from her lover for a bit, she moved her hand down to give her a few tugs as she lead both of them to the pile of limbs that was the other people in the tent. So caught up in her need for release and to be a part of this that she didn't even notice the departure of Skarina until she cast a glace over to the lamia and saw her without her previous partner. Feeling a little pity for her, Poka nodded to Kassy and instead began to move to her location which was now next to Tina. Poka watched as she attempted to drag Tina in but all she coul do was laugh as she drew closer "am I going to constantly lay with those who try to take miss Tina?" She joked, casting a glnce back to her lover before returning her attention to Azhara. "If Misss Robot Tina doesn't want to right now she can join later, however though you've got a super cute hellhound who wants to have some fun."

[Meep Meepersons]

Rahk's hands began to really dig into the deeper tissues of the matrons back muscles. Her other two hands continued their sexy gropings even as the dog and her daughter wiggled their way up to the three. "Well, things sure are escalating M'lady." With that she brought one of her hands from the sexy places of he two laying before her and grabs hold of Pocka's cock, helping to line it up with it's intended hole, giving it a slicking with the various fluids already coating her strong skilled hand. Then Skarina made a scene and Rahk watched as her baby momma up and flew out of the tent and the hellhound followed suit. The gust of wind from her wings kicked up and she raised a hand to block any possible debris from hitting her face. Once she was gone she shrugged and put her attentions back onto Viridia and Kassy. If it weren't for her four arms, she'd be having a bit of trouble pleasing all these bodies that keep showing up.
