John and Argent by cmsix

Chapter 95

As we left it was just past noon and about an hour later the snow started. For the first few minutes the flakes were about the size of a half dollar and they floated down lazily, then the breeze picked up a little and to my surprise the flakes, while still sparse, grew to the size of my hand or even bigger. After a few more minutes the breeze turned to a light wind and the snowflakes shrank back to a more reasonable size and became more numerous. They settled in around the size of a quarter and began to come more strongly, by a little, than Ralph's forecast had led me to believe.

I'd told Danlo not to be in any hurry since I didn't intend to get to Dutono's camp until after they were sleeping soundly. It would mean a long day for us but we could take turns sleeping as we traveled and I wanted to make sure that we had a good chance to prepare a surprise to wake them up.

As the snow continued the temperature dropped and soon I could tell that it was just cold out. Argent's cold weather gear kept me comfortable and I assumed it did for everyone else too. I asked Danlo and he said that he was fine. I wasn't uncomfortable but I had seen snow before and the novelty wore thin after about an hour.

I decided that I needn't stay up and watch the trip so I got into the back of the wagon to crawl under the bison furs where I belonged, telling myself that I might as well keep the women warm.

Near the edge of the top fur I sat and removed my boots and coat. I slid my hand under the fur to get my bearing and encountered naked flesh right away. Pulling my hand back out I braved the cold and removed all my clothes, quickly pushing myself under the cover when I was done.

"Oh, you're cold, we'll have to warm you up," an unfamiliar voice said.

Taking a moment to think about it I realized that it was Jalayla, the woman who often helped Eileiea. In fact she had been the closest thing we'd had to a healer until Eileiea came. Apparently she intended to make sure I didn't get a chill since she pressed her warm nakedness to me as I settled in.

Determined not to be standoffish I put my arms around her and pulled her close, kissing her lips as soon as I found them. She welcomed my lips and returned my enthusiasm by hugging me to her also. She was warm, welcoming and gave me an exciting kiss. I let my hands begin to wander down her back and to her ass and I found it delightfully firm and round and magically responsive to my touch.

She pressed her breasts into my chest and wiggled them, dragging her stiffening nipples in the hair she found and she sneaked a hand down to pet dicky as he stiffened. What a warm welcome she was giving me.

I reached between her legs from behind to put a couple of fingers to her pussy and I found her slit already damp and her lips pudgy so I slid a finger up her to see if I could stir up some trouble. She sighed as I did and pushed herself further onto my digit, clasping at it with her insides.

I wasn't in a rush but I wanted to get something else up her besides my finger and when I pushed myself toward her, turning her slightly, she rolled to her back and spread her legs to welcome me into the saddle. I felt her hand guiding me now and the kiss of her love lips on my dickhead as she first swabbed it in her wetness and then placed it to her entrance. I pressed in slowly and reveled in the feel of her as I slid myself up into her pussy.

I started a long slow rhythm and she was right with me, gripping at my dick as I pulled back and pressing herself to me as I re-entered. We pumped against each other in a leisurely fuck with me kissing and sucking on her neck and earlobes all the while. Later her legs came around me and her hips began rocking more urgently.

"Jalayla was hoping you would join us and give her a little attention, her moon time was finished twelve days ago and she thinks you could give her a baby today if you would," Eileiea, who had slipped up beside me, whispered.

Of course this little tidbit of information caused me to pick up the tempo and the force of my fucking. It is always exciting to be with a woman I've never had before and doubly so when there was a mention of making a baby. I began giving Jalayla my best and she began moaning and whining my name while I thrust and grunted my exertions. The leisurely fuck turned into a determined effort and sooner than I'd hoped my balls told me that the end was near and then the cannon fired as Jalayla clutched at my back and moaned that she was there too.

As I panted to regain my breath, Jalayla stroked up and down my back and kissed around my face and lips, thanking me. I latched onto her neck with my lips and expessed my gratitude with what I knew would be a giant hickey. When I had my breathing under control again I eased off Jalayla, hugging her close with and arm around her and I relaxed as I felt lips, Eileiea's I think, kissing and licking my dick and cleaning it up.

I slipped off to doze for a few minutes but soon enough Gema was nudging me awake and seemed to want a little attention for herself. I gave her some and then fell into a lovely routine of short naps broken by warm women. It was a nice way to travel.

Just after dark-thirty we stopped to have a meal. My mates and the other women had made sure to bring plenty of food and Shelalliea had brought the coffee pot. It took only a few minutes to clear off a spot in the snow and get a fire going and only a few more to get the food warm. I ate more than I should have as usual and when we moved out again I had a longer nap then got back to my task of making sure the women in my sleigh weren't bored with the trip.

About midnight we stopped and let Racaato scout ahead for a while. He was back in a little over an hour and he led us to a good spot for the nights camping. Really all we did was unhitch and hobble the horses and put a fitted blanket of Argent's magic material on each of them. We all settled down for about four hours of sleep then so we would be rested for our surprise.

I woke at five and when I started moving it woke the women nearest me who then started moving and waking others. A chain reaction I guess. Soon we were scrambling into clothes and the fire was encouraged back into life to warm up something for breakfast. I went to smiley's wagon and asked politely if he'd like to come with me. Of course he didn't answer but he did get up, stretch and then hop down to heel me as I walked off.

When Ralph first showed me the video of Dutono's camp, I'd made a tentative plan to cover their cave's smoke hole and try to get them out that way. When he had later agreed to furnish some cs gas I'd planned on heaving a canister or two down the smoke hole if smoke alone didn't drive them out. Now that smiley was with us I'd come up with what I thought was a better plan.

When we were all gathered, armed and ready to go I asked Bigglieo and Daaggo to bring one of the bison skins and we headed toward Dutono's camp. Everything was quiet when we got there, just as I'd expected. I had most of my people seek cover and concealment around the camps perimeter and I had Bigglieo, Daaggo and Danlo take the bison skin up to the cave's smoke hole, telling them to just cover the hole when they got there and then come back down. They did it and then we waited.

I thought that it would probably take an hour or so before anyone in the cave noticed since I expected them all to be asleep and that their fires would be low. Within thirty minutes though the skin covering the caves entrance moved and a lone figure, bundled up against the cold, came out and headed up the side of the hill, no doubt to look for the problem. Bigglieo and Danlo greeted the figure with a blow to the head from behind and then tied his hands and feet, putting him aside and out of the way.

Ten minutes later another man came out through the skin curtain, looking around and calling out for Churdo. Getting no reply he headed up toward the smoke hole too and was given a similar greeting by Bigglieo and Danlo.

While they were tying up this one, smiley and I walked to the cave's entrance. I held the skin aside just a little and asked smiley to enter and go to the back of the cave. I talked to him as if he could understand and asked him to keep hidden until the ruckus started. I didn't know how much he could understand or if he could understand at all. It didn't matter much if this part of the plan stayed together or not but I was hoping he could get in undiscovered and then scare the piss out of everyone later. As he left I listened and when, after several minutes, I didn't hear any screaming from inside I figured he had a grip on what I wanted.

A few minutes later I heard some voices arguing and so I stepped back and out of sight at the side of the entrance. Three men came out this time, they weren't carrying spears and they didn't head up the hill, they just looked up toward the smoke hole and began calling for Churdo and Chokdono. I signaled for Caato, Racaato and Galto to join me and we came up behind the men, grabbing them and wrestling them to the ground, covering their mouths to keep them from calling out.

We had surprised them and it was less trouble than I'd expected to subdue them. After they were tied up and pulled aside we waited again.

False dawn had passed and the sun was now making its appearance. I was still near the cave's entrance and I now heard coughing and conversation from inside. I could also hear one loud voice talking angrily but couldn't hear what it was saying. Five more minutes passed and then two men came from inside and were trying to pull the skins aside to let out some of the smoke.

I signaled for all my people to show themselves and stepped into view myself.

"Dutono, come out and give yourself up. We have come to be rid of your meddling," I shouted into the cave.

The two holding the skins back were startled but they didn't let it close. I didn't want the smoke to clear yet.

"You two, let go of the skins and come outside," I told them.

"You are not our leader," one of them said angrily.

"Ameliea, would you shoot that one in the leg?"

"Which leg?" she asked.

"Either one will do."

Her rifle cracked loudly and the angry one screamed and fell. I asked the other one, who was now gaping at his helper, if he wanted a dose of the same thing or if he would drop the skin and surrender. He seemed glad to do it and while Bigglieo was tying him up Danlo drug the wounded one toward Jalayla and Eileiea so that they could try to patch him up.

I couldn't hear anything else from inside right now. I knew that Dutono must be trying to form a plan but he was wasting his time. He was treed even if he was in a cave. He now had only nineteen men left inside and there was no way out except the front entrance, we had that covered overwhelmingly.

I couldn't decide whether to wait them out or get the ball rolling, luckily Dutono saved me the trouble.

"We can sit here in our warm cave all day, the smoke is an irritation but it won't really hurt us. Just stay outside in the cold and wait. If you try to come in you will be met by men with spears," someone yelled from inside and I assumed it was Dutono.

I decided to bring his rebellion to an end and show him who was really calling the shots.

"Smiley, speak and then run them outside," I shouted back.

I knew at once why Ralph had recommended that I not ask smiley to speak inside. I'll swear that I could see the bison skins move from the sound of smiley's roar. It wasn't like a lion and not really like any cat I'd ever heard either. It was very loud and frightening though and it lasted a long time.

Within seconds women and then men began streaming through the opening between the skins covering the cave's entrance. It only took a couple of minutes for the cave to be cleared. I heard one last growl from smiley and then I heard a man scream and then the only noises were those of the men from Dutono's camp being forced to the ground on their faces and then being tied.

The bison skin curtains parted again and smiley came walking out. He had a body by the neck and as he walked the dead man's body was dragging between smiley's legs. He brought it to me and dropped it at my feet.

"Was that Dutono?"

"Yes," one of the women said.

"Where is his mate?"

"We were both mates for Dutono," said the one who'd identified him.

"What are your names?"

"I'm Mauraila and she's Caittahla," she said.

I looked them over and liked what I saw. Dutono had been leader here and it looked to me as if he'd used his position to secure the best looking women in camp. They were almost exactly the same size, five three or four and probably a little over a hundred and five pounds or so. I couldn't make out much about their figures because of the way they were bundled up but both of their faces were remarkably pretty.

Mauraila's hair was light blonde and Caittahla's was deep auburn and both of them had gray eyes. I'd given up on worrying how many mates I was accumulating and looking at these two little beauties made me really happy with smiley, really happy.

"Smiley is my cat and since he has killed Dutono I claim you two as my mates now," I said.

They didn't say anything so I pulled Caittahla to me for a kiss and I examined her lips with mine. While I was at it I let my hands roam over her body for their own inspection. Her round little ass was firm and felt good in my hands. When I released Caittahla I pulled Mauraila to me for some of the same and I noticed that my mates had encircled Caittahla to give her some kisses and feels of their own.

I released Mauraila to my mate's kind attentions after a good kissing and I walked over to look at our captives and try to decide what I was going to do about them. I hoped that I'd learned something from the trouble we'd had with the last bunch of men we'd taken by force. I thought I might have.

"If any of you women were mated to any of these men, come and stand by where they are laying."

It took only a few minutes and I saw that there was one mate for each of the men. I told the women to stand aside from their mate if he had never beaten them. Nine of them walked back to rejoin the others. I had the nine men separated out into a different group then I gave them all a little speech.

"I am going to let you nine men live. You will not be allowed to return to our camp with us but you can live. You will not be allowed to stay here either. We are going to let you gather your belongings and leave toward the south. If you meet others I want you to tell them what happens to men who capture or beat women. These other men are all going to be stripped naked, tied together and dragged off into the woods to freeze to death or be killed by predators. I don't like men who capture and beat women.

Immediately the man that Ameliea had shot in the leg, he was among the woman beaters, began to protest and argue. Bigglieo moved toward him and I'm sure Bigglieo intended to politely ask the man to be quiet.

"Let him squawk Bigglieo, his fate is decided. Let him spend his last hours doing whatever he wants, as long as he is naked and tied while he does it."

Was I being cruel, yes I was. Didn't I feel guilty? Not in the least. The men that were going to be left to die obviously subscribed to the plan that might makes right. Unfortunately for them they had run into someone they couldn't hope to stand against. This is always a problem for those who think might makes right, they run into someone with more might and this makes their former right now wrong. In this case the penalty was death.

My mates and in fact all the women were now working on a meal. Racaato, Bigglieo and I took the nine men who'd be leaving under their own power back to the cave so they could gather their things.

"Gather up anything you want but the women from here will be inspecting what you take. If they want something you plan on taking we will take it from you," I said since there was no sense in letting them think they were going to have an easy time of it.

Bigglieo and Racaato stayed at the entrance to make sure that none of the men made an early exit. I walked to smiley who had curled up beside Dutono's body.

"Aren't you planning on eating your kill smiley?"

He grabbed the body by the neck again and dragged it over very near the men that were tied, there he began ripping off the clothes and making a meal of the former leader. I'm sure the tied men were being quiet in hopes they weren't the next course in smiley's meal.

Later the nine were ready to leave. I called the camp's women over to inspect what they were taking and none of the women found anything they wanted to keep among the packs. I told the men again to spread the word that John and his camp were not to be fucked with and I let them go after showing them exactly what had become of Dutono.

After they'd gone Racaato asked me about sending away or killing all the men in the camp.

"We went to a lot of trouble last time trying to separate the good men from the bad and we ended up making mistakes. This time we will be sure that we aren't bringing any trouble making men back to our camp."

"We aren't bringing any men back," he said.

"Exactly. Did you notice that none of the women from this camp have complained in the least? Not even the women who said that the men did not beat them."

"I didn't give it any thought but now I know that you're right about that," he admitted.

"If any of the women wanted to stay with their mates doesn't it seem that they might have at least mentioned it?"

"I'd like to think that my mates would at least say something if I were being sent away," he said.

"If the women really want those men we can give them all the food they can carry this spring so that they can go look for them. Until then I think the less said about it, the better."

We had our meal then and after it was over Danlo hitched one team while Bigglieo and Caato tied each of the men to a stout rope. Danlo then tied the rope to the team. Danlo, smiley and I started off with the team dragging the men behind us. We carried them into some woods; probably a quarter of a mile and then tied both ends of the rope together, making a circle around several trees. Then we returned to Dutono's camp and let nature take its course.

At the camp women were trekking in and out of the cave bringing their belongings to the sleighs. With so many working it took only a little over an hour to get loaded. I closed the cave's curtains again and Danlo went up to fetch the bison skin we had used to close the smoke hole. When that was stored we boarded and headed home.

We wouldn't make it back before nightfall but it didn't matter. I could get acquainted with my two new mates in the dark.
