The rest of the trip to the capital was uneventful. Raymond took in the sights as he and Samantha escorted the lizard girl, known as Minty, to the tavern.
The tavern was a humble establishment, simply named, with a prime location close to the Adventurer's Guild, deep in the heart of the market district.
The streets outside were alive, full of people selling wares and haggling prices. Street vendors and performers all vying for the attention of passers-by.
Inside was a lively mid-morning crowd, already draining the ale stores. The smell of fresh bread, bacon, and meats roasting in preparation for lunch, filled the small building.
The atmosphere took Raymond's mind back to the rowdy family reunions he attended every year before in his old life.
A small smile came to Raymond's face as he looked around the tavern and its simple decor. His eyes fell on a lizard woman rushing toward them.
He tensed on instinct, but relaxed when he saw the worried look on her face, and noticed she was a taller, curvier version of Minty.
He soon learned this was Minty's mother Linda. They told Linda about guys attacking Minty and their timely intervention.
Linda sent Minty off to get a fresh shirt and thanked the duo with a small basket of sandwiches made from fresh rolls, bacon and cheese. Raymond couldn't have been happier.
They took their leave, and Samatha took Raymond on a tour of the market.
There were grocery and food vendors, weapon and armor shops, potions and alchemic tool stores, blacksmiths and rune-smiths.
Everything any kind of adventurer could need, could be found or made here.
Their true destination was a small shop tucked away in the farthest corner of the bustling market.
The tailor shop was owned by a catkin seamstress that was known far and wide for her enchanted garments.
She was lauded to be able to craft the most magnificent garments, if one could afford her, and manage to stay on her good side.
This is where Samantha left Raymond. She gave him a small sac of gold and rushed off.
She claimed she needed to check in with the Mage association and pick up groceries for the house.
Basically, any excuse to not face the catty seamstress. Raymond shrugged and decided to let her go.
Raymond stepped inside the seamstress' shop and looked around.
There were all sorts of colorful fabrics on display all along the walls.
The floor space had tables displaying all kinds of gear, clothing, and accessories. On top of each table was a wooden mannequin displaying an ensemble of the items on the table.
Raymond walked around looking at everything, nodding approvingly.
When Raymond reached the back of the store, he almost didn't notice an older woman lounging on a couch in the corner.
She was short and a little chubby, but still cute. Her white hair was tied in a ponytail pulled over her shoulder, laying between her ample breasts. She was wearing a long night shirt, covered in hearts, that fell a couple inches short of mid-thigh.
She had a long fluffy tail that curled above her and flicked back and forth in her face like it was fanning her while she read her book.
She had one of her thick legs resting on the back of the couch, while the other dangled off the edge, swinging lazily.
Raymond grinned to himself. Catgirls were always a secret fetish of his.
Suddenly the plump Catkin woman sniffed and her fluffy cat ear twitched. A confused look came over her face and her gaze snapped to Raymond.
"You smell…different. What are you?" she said thoughtfully.
Unsure of how to answer the question, Raymond chuckled and scratched his head.
"I'm sorry, what?"
She got up gracefully and sauntered over to Raymond, hips and tail swaying hypnotically.
"Never mind handsome. What can Tawny do for you?" her voice low and sultry as her eyes slowly traced his form.
Raymond blinked hard and cleared his throat as he had to forcefully take his eyes off the mature seductress.
"My name's Raymond, I have a long quest ahead of me. I need some good gear."
Tawny looked at him thoughtfully, tail swaying behind her while she chewed a nail.
She looked up at him with a mischievous grin.
"Come with me, I need to take some measurements."
She turned and headed toward a door behind her sales counter.
She smirked when she looked over her shoulder and saw exactly what she wanted to see. The big, beautiful man was following with his eyes firmly on her ass.
Once they were inside with the door locked, tawny walked in a slow circle around Raymond, her nails lightly grazing his arms and chest.
Raymond smirked as he had an idea of what was actually going on, but he decided to wait and see how it all played out.
Tawny stopped in front of him and met his gaze with her big green feline eyes.
"Ok darling, go ahead and disrobe so we can get started." Tawny purred, "I need everything off."
"Yes Ma'am." Raymond gave a knowing smirk as he kicked off his sandals. Tawny stood in place watching him intently.
A small smile was on her face, eyes narrowed. Raymond bent low as he pulled his pants off, knowing what his host was waiting to see.
After getting his pants off, he stood up slowly, watching for Tawny's reaction.
"Oh my." Tawny gasped as Raymond stood to his full height revealing his massive member.
She swallowed hard, bit her lip and smiled greedily. She stepped forward and took it in her hand, stroking it slowly.
"Mmm, aren't you a big boy." She purred as Raymond's cock started to swell in her hand.
She licked her lips and looked up at Raymond.
"Can I taste it?" she asked purring.
Raymond smiled and reached up stroking her fluffy ear.
"Just taste it?"
Tawny closed her eyes and nodded, enjoying his touch. "You have to earn this kitty."
Raymond chuckled and ran his hand down her braid. "You can taste all you want."
Tawny moaned softly, smiling as she squatted in place. She slid her hands down his body, coming to a rest on his thighs.
She licked his cock from tip to base and back. Her tongue was rough, but Raymond immediately inhaled sharply and closed his eyes.
She swirled her tongue around his tip, sending shivers up his spine. She glanced up at him and smiled at his reactions.
Tawny grabbed Raymond's balls lightly, rubbing them as she took his length in her mouth little by little.
She bobbed her head on his staff, twisting slightly as she went, her little tongue caressing underneath.
Raymond moaned and rubbed her ears. His hips started to move on their own. Pushing her meal deeper down her throat.
Tawny reached between her legs, petting her kitty, moans increasing in volume.
After a minute, Raymond pulled Tawny's head back by her ears.
Tawny whined "Nya, I wasn't finished." With a line of spit still connecting her tongue to Raymond's cock.
"But I wanna taste you too." Raymond replied hoarsely. Tawny grinned wickedly and stood up.
She grabbed his pole and led him to her bed in the corner as if she had the man on a leash.
Once there she turned and licked Raymond's nipple while dragging her claws lightly down his chest.
"Lay down." Tawny commanded, voice heavy with lust.
Raymond barely had his head on the pillow before Tawny climbed on top of him, pushing her plump behind in his face.
He wrapped his arms around her lush thighs and began licking her perfect kitty hungrily.
Tawny moaned loud before silencing herself with Raymond's massive throbbing rod.
The room filled with the sounds of slurping and muffled moans as the two serviced each other feverishly.
A handful of customers came in the front door looking to buy goods from Tawny. Each one was turned away by the loud, lewd noises coming from the locked back door.
Tawny's legs began to tremble when Raymond found her clit and latched on.
She moaned loud as she desperately stroked the portion of his dick that she couldn't get down her throat.
Her moans pitched higher and higher as Raymond sucked hard on her magic button.
"OH FUCK!" She yelled as she pressed her pussy into Raymond's face and came.
Tawny took a moment to catch her breath as she continued to stroke Raymond's rock-hard staff.
Raymond continued licking the juices off her pussy, coaxing a deep contented purr out of the beautiful Catkin woman.
Before long, Tawny turned around and kissed Raymond deeply. "Mmmm such a good boy. I think you've earned this." she whispered, her wicked grin returning.
She lifted her ass, wiggling it playfully. She grabbed Raymond's cock, lining it up with her slit, teasing herself with his tip.
She impaled herself on Raymond's cock, taking it deep, letting out a deep satisfied groan.
She sat there for a moment, resting on her knees.
Her head was back, her eyes were closed, her hips were grinding as she marveled at how good it felt to be so full.
She grabbed the bottom of her nightshirt and snatched it off, bringing her massive breasts into full view for the first time.
Raymond wasted no time. He sat up immediately and wrapped his lips around one massive nipple. He slapped his free hand down on Tawny's juicy ass and squeezed.
"YES!" She growled as she started bouncing aggressively on his dick.
*SLAP*
Raymond Slapped her giant bum harder, getting a guttural "UGH" as a response.
*SLAP*
Each time he slapped that ass she rode him faster and harder. Their bodies were pressed tightly together.
His face buried deep in her cleavage. The sweat that poured from their bodies couldn't even get between them.
Primal moans and grunts, along with wet slapping sounds echoed in the small room.
"I'm getting close, Tawny!"
Raymond moaned as he bit her soft neck. In response, she gripped him tighter and growled
"Yes! Fucking breed me!"
As if on command, Raymond's body shook as he unloaded deep inside Tawny's womb.
Her breath caught, and her body shuddered as her orgasm tore through her body.
Her tail wrapped around the back of Raymond's head, forcing his face back into her cleavage.
They stay wrapped around each other for a few seconds, basking in the afterglow.
Raymond suddenly started tapping Tawny's arm rapidly. She quickly let him go.
He gasped dramatically as he flung himself back on the bed.
Tawny giggled as she swatted his chest playfully.
"You're awful, stop that!"
Raymond put his hands behind his head laughing.
"What? I could have died in those things."
Tawny scooped up her breasts in her hands and jiggled them.
"And you would have died happy, wouldn't you." more of a statement than a question.
Raymond answered anyway "Yes. yes, I would have."
Tawny giggled again and laid on his chest purring happily.
They just laid there quietly for about twenty minutes. Tawny purred while Raymond stroked her tail.
Finally, Raymond decided to get back to business.
"So, what kind of gear do you recommend for me?" He asked casually.
"Mmm. it depends, honestly, on what you need it for. Truth is, nothing I have out there will fit you. You're much too big." she said suggestively.
"Your gear will have to be a custom job."
"I see, and what will that cost me?"
"A promise."
"What kind of promise?"
"A simple one. Promise you'll come back and see me every now and again. Bring me some materials…and other things." her tone suggestive again.
Raymond smirked. "I can do that. You've got yourself a deal Miss Tawny."
Tawny sat up and leaned over his face.
"Seal it with a kiss?"
Raymond happily obliged, grabbing her ears and kissing her deeply.
She hopped up gracefully and strode over to the middle of the room.
"Oof, sore already. Come here, stand in front of me."
Raymond smiled as he stood slowly.
Tawny giggled. "For real this time! Don't look at me like that!"
Her body jiggled as she gestured for him to hurry up. Raymond sauntered over, smirking as he looked over Tawny's gorgeous, still naked body.
"Ok, give me your hands and just relax."
Raymond did as she asked. Tawny closed her eyes and took a few deep, slow, cleansing breaths.
When she opened her eyes, they were a blazing white. The atmosphere in the room shifted.
A breeze came out of nowhere and began to swirl around them. Raymond could feel the dense powerful magic in the air.
"I see you, Raymond. You are a powerful existence. A mage. A warrior. Both, a spell sword. Legendary. The Golden Dragon himself has his eyes on you. He smiles on you."
Raymond opened his eyes and let her slip from his hands as she began to float in the air.
The magical wind began to whip, causing her braid to flap and unravel. Materials lifted from their place around the room and fell into orbit around the seamstress.
"Your gear needs to be durable yet flexible. It needs to be able to withstand both steel and magic. You need to be able to both fight and cast.
Dragon's hide.
Yes, enchanted to boost your stamina, speed, strength, and magic. Lightning? You are the Mage of the Storm! Yes. Gloves, boots, a belt. Yes, I see you Raymond, Mage of the Storm, The Legendary Hero!"
Tawny pointed and materials began to swirl around Raymond. He was lifted from the ground.
The materials attached themselves to him and stitched themselves together. When the wind died down, he was deposited back on his feet.
He was wearing a sleeveless leather vest that left his chest bare. The arm holes were corded in bright gold, the color of lightning.
The vest itself was dusky grey like a storm cloud. His pants were the same color with the gold cording down the seam of each leg.
His belt and gloves were gold, and his boots had a gradient fade from grey at the top to white on the soles.
Runes shimmered all over, evidencing the enchantments. The face of the Golden Dragon was emblazoned on the back of his vest.
Raymond was amazed at the fit, the feel, and the craftsmanship of the whole ensemble. And above all, it looked awesome.
