Chapter 308: Bait, Tackle, and Naughty*

The small, stolen wooden boat glided eerily silently over the pitch-black, glass-like surface of the swamp water. The only sound was the gentle slosh, slosh of Vex lazily dipping the carved wooden board into the murky depths, propelling them further away from the safety of the hidden cave and deeper into the terrifying, uncharted heart of the Snake King’s aquatic territory.

Thick, humid fog rolled over the water, clinging to the glowing, bioluminescent lily pads like glowing spiderwebs. In the dark distance, pairs of glowing yellow and red eyes occasionally breached the surface, blinking slowly before silently sinking back into the abyss.

Ren sat rigidly at the front of the boat, her hands gripping the wooden edges so tightly her knuckles were glowing white in the moonlight.

“Vex,” Ren whispered frantically, not daring to raise her voice. “We have zero fishing equipment. We don’t have a rod, we don’t have a net, and we don’t have any bait! How exactly are we supposed to catch fish?!”

Vex leaned forward, his brilliant orange eyes sparkling with wicked amusement. “I already told you the plan, little rose. You are the bait.”

“I am not dangling my legs into that monster-infested water!” Ren hissed, aggressively kicking her feet back under the wooden bench.

“Pity,” Vex smirked, resting the oar across his lap. “Your soft thighs would make an excellent lure for a giant catfish.”

Before Ren could launch a string of vicious curses at him, a high-pitched, loud buzzing sound assaulted her ears.

A swarm of gnats, each one easily the size of a fat hummingbird, suddenly descended upon the boat, drawn by the heat of their bodies.

“Ah! Get away!” Ren shrieked, frantically swatting at the air as the giant, hideous bugs buzzed aggressively around her face.

“Allow me,” Vex purred.

With a swift, fluid motion, his three fluffy orange tails shot forward. They whipped through the air, swatting the giant insects left and right.

One of his thick, fluffy tails “accidentally” slipped right under the hem of Ren’s emerald silk dress, gliding smoothly up her bare, shivering thigh. Simultaneously, Vex’s large, warm hand shot out. He firmly grabbed a handful of her left breast, squeezing the soft flesh tightly.

“Hey!” Ren gasped, her face flushing a brilliant red as she slapped his hand away. “Why did you just grope my boob?!”

“There was a blood-sucking tick resting there,” Vex lied flawlessly, his face a mask of heroic sincerity. “I was saving your life. You are welcome.”

“You lying pervert!” Ren scolded, aggressively swatting his fluffy tail out from between her legs. “Focus on the fishing!”

Vex chuckled, a deep sound that did too many things to Ren’s lower belly. He leaned over the edge of the boat, his eyes narrowing as he stared into the dark water. He plunged his arm into the murky depths, his sharp claws extended, attempting to blindly snatch a passing fish.

Splash!

A massive, silvery tail violently breached the surface, slapping Vex directly across his face with a loud, wet THWACK, completely soaking his hair. The fish darted away into the darkness, completely unharmed.

Ren burst into a fit of uncontrollable, ringing laughter, clutching her stomach. “Oh my god! You got bitch-slapped by a trout!”

Vex slowly wiped the foul-smelling swamp water from his eyes, his jaw clenching. “It’s lucky it swam away,” he grumbled darkly.

Just as Vex leaned back over the edge for a second attempt, an unseen force violently bumped the underside of the small wooden boat.

The vessel pitched to the side.

“Ahhhh!” Ren screamed, completely losing her balance.

She tumbled directly forward, flying across the small gap and crashing right into Vex. She landed hard, her legs instinctively flying open as she straddled his muscular thighs, her soft, delicate core pressing flush against his groin.

Vex dropped the wooden oar with a clatter. His large hands instantly shot out, gripping her hips to stabilize her.

But the second Ren’s soft, wet heat pressed directly against him, Vex’s protective grip instantly morphed into a possessive, sexual hold.

Ren vividly felt his cock immediately surge to life. It sprang up against her wet cleft rigid and burning with a furnace-like heat.

“Well,” Vex purred, his voice dropping to an erotic whisper. His hands slid smoothly around her waist, pulling her hips down to grind her wet cunt directly against his raging erection. “Since we are failing so miserably at fishing… maybe we should just mate right here in this boat.”

Ren’s breath hitched, her heart hammering against her ribcage.

“Vex… we can’t,” Ren whimpered, her hands resting weakly against his broad chest. But her traitorous hips subconsciously rolled forward, chasing the mind-melting friction.

“We absolutely can,” Vex reponded softly.

One of his hands slid up the back of her thigh, hiking the slit of her silk dress all the way up to her waist. His long fingers slid directly between her slick, swollen pink folds.

Ren gasped, her head falling back as Vex thrust two fingers deep inside her dripping wet cunt.

“So wet,” Vex groaned, his thumb expertly finding the hard, throbbing pearl of her clit. He began to rub it aggressively, his fingers pumping in and out of her slick, tight hole in a sloppy, agonizingly good rhythm. “You are soaking my fingers. You are such a dirty, needy little female.”

“Ah… Vex, please,” Ren sobbed, her fingernails digging into his shoulders.

Vex bucked his hips upward, grinding his cock against her clit through the fabric of his loincloth while his fingers relentlessly stretched her inner walls. He leaned in, his hot, wet tongue tracing the shell of her ear.

“I am going to pull this dress off you,” Vex whispered darkly, his breath fanning her flushed skin. “I am going to bury my face between your thighs and—”

SPLASH!

Suddenly, a massive, incredibly ugly, twenty-pound bass launched itself out of the murky water.

The giant, slimy fish flew directly over the edge of the boat and crashed heavily right onto the wooden planks beside them, violently flopping, thrashing, and gasping for air.

“AHHH!” Ren shrieked, the erotic tension instantly shattering into a million pieces.

She hurriedly scrambled off Vex’s lap, her dress falling back down as she practically climbed the side of the boat in panic. The fish was slapping its tail against the wood, splashing slimy swamp water all over her feet.

Her trusty, Lodge cast-iron skillet materialized directly into her hands from her inventory. Ren raised the skillet high above her head and brought it down.

WHAM!

The iron connected flawlessly with the giant fish’s head once, then a few more times. The bass instantly stopped thrashing, going completely still.

Ren stood there, panting heavily, her chest heaving as she clutched the frying pan. Her hair was a messy, frizzy halo, her face flushed red from both the intense fingering and the panic of the fish attack.

“We got one!” Ren declared triumphantly, pointing her skillet at the dead bass. “But I need at least two more of those for a proper, hearty bone-broth soup!”

Vex stared at her, speechless. His erection was currently tenting his pants to an agonizing degree, his fingers still dripping with her sweet, slick juices.

The swamp water around them violently erupted.

A swarm of spiked swamp-leeches, each the size of a grown man’s arm, suddenly breached the surface, furious at the commotion. The boat rocked violently as the hideous creatures began slapping against the wooden hull, trying to climb inside to suck them dry.

Vex lunged toward the edge of the boat. Using his speed and sharp claws, he plunged his hands into the chaotic, thrashing water. With two lightning-fast strikes, Vex impaled two smaller bass that were trying to flee the leech swarm, throwing the bleeding fish directly into the boat next to Ren’s kill.

“Row!” Ren screamed, frantically using her skillet to bash a giant, slimy leech that had successfully slithered over the edge of the boat. Splat!

Vex didn’t need to be told twice. He grabbed the wooden oar and began rowing with all his strength. The small wooden boat practically flew across the surface of the pitch-black water, tearing through the thick fog as they desperately outran the pursuing swarm of bloodsuckers.

The opening of the hidden cave rapidly approached.

Vex didn’t even attempt to slow down. He rowed with furious power until the very last possible second.

CRASH!

The wooden boat slammed directly into the jagged rocks at the cave entrance. The force of the impact completely shattered the front of the vessel, sending a massive spray of murky swamp water flying into the damp cavern.

Ren was launched forward by the momentum, tumbling head over heels and landing flat on her back on the hard stone floor of the cave with a painful groan.

Vex gracefully leapt from the sinking ruins of the boat, perfectly landing on his feet beside her, holding the three, dead bass by their tails.

Ren laid there on the cold stone, staring up at the dark ceiling, her entire body shaking with leftover adrenaline, her cunt still throbbing from his touch.

“Well,” Vex panted, his chest heaving as he looked down at her. “That was fun.”
