Hero
Tonight would be different. Tonight she had the answer that would end it all. She knew the name that his mother had given him. When she spoke that name, she would see the wicked light in his little eyes die. The child would be freed and he would hold no power over her. Her trips to the den of the gnome would cease.
From the darkness on the far side of the room came a rough teutonic voice.
“Have you come with an answer for me or shall we play once more, my sweet?”
Turning, Lola spied the diminuative gnome of a man. He sat as he had every night. His silver curls were wreathed in pipe smoke, and the source of that smoke perched like a sparrow in his thick little hand. His round little body was clothed in loose, dark clothing, looking as though he was lounging after a hard day’s work. His feet in their scruffy slippers did not touch the floor.
Lola straightened her spine, felt the warmth of the fire caress her shoulders as she threw them back, unconsciously displaying the beauty of her round breasts. She raised her chin, pride and surety shining from her every pore.
“Your name is Wendell.” The smile on her face was so bright, she fairly glowed in the flickering light.
But the gnome hesitated. . .fleshy lips wrapped around the pipestem and drew, somehow giving the illusion of length to a face that was otherwise round in all it’s aspects. After several seconds of tense silence, he slowly shook his head from side to side, and a merry, devlish light kindled in his clear blue eyes.
Lola’s chin dropped to her chest. Her soft brown curls fell forward to veil her shame at another failure. With slightly trembling hands, she reached up to untie the ribbons at the shoulders of her gown so that it slipped becomingly off her silky shoulders.
“I offer myself for one more chance to free the child.” she whispered the words she had learned so well over the many nights. Slowly, almost hesitantly, she moved to a place directly in front of him and released the strings of her gown. It billowed slightly and caressed its way down her rounded hips to pool at her feet. The gnome gazed on her nakedness as he slowly rose to walk around her in his round legged gait. He placed his pipe on a low table and began unfastening the strings of his pants as he turned back to face her.
“Never have I been so happy to hear so many wrong answers. . .wise of them to send such a lovely lass to me.” There was pure appreciation in his voice.
Lola came shyly to him, not raising her head, but lifting her eyes just enough to glimpse his gourd-like belly and the nest of silver curls surrounding his small member before she dropped to her knees before him. She took him gently into her mouth and felt the slight swelling of his flesh. Like some strange supplicant, Lola showered her affection on his cock and the gnome could not help but lower his hands to caress her head. When he was moaning her name, she pulled back to sit on her heels, head still down, and requested in a slightly shaky voice “Shall we move to the bed?”.
The gnome placed his hands gently on Lola’s head. “Tonight, my dear,” he rasped. “I wish to see you astride me. . .I want you to mount yourself on my shaft and bring yourself to completion while I watch you.”
Lola’s blush burned over her whole body. She had always avoided allowing him to see this final, full surrender of her passion. . .to have his eyes so firmly upon her in her weakest, and strongest, and most vulnerable moment was almost too much to ask of her. But he knew that she would do whatever he asked.
When he was situated on the bed, Lola climbed up to kneel astride him. She used her hands to guide his semi-hard cock into her body. She held him inside her and began to gently rotate her hips in a slow dance. She ran her hand down her body to circle her clitoris slowly, mimicking her body’s motion. And the gnome watched. Though his cock never grew harder, it still filled Lola and her hips gyrated faster, her fingers becoming almost frantic between their bodies.
The gnome stared in wonder as she pinned him to the bed with her body. He had never seen her so focused, so driven, so engaged in her own pleasure that he became nothing more than a means to reaching her goal. He felt the contractions begin to ripple along the length of her dripping sheath and reached his sausage-like hands up to squeeze her breasts hard. She looked charming with her head thrown to the side, her eyes closed in ecstasy, but he wanted her eyes locked on him when she made that last surrender. He squeezed harder and Lola screamed as her orgasm washed over her. . .
“WENDELLSON!”
The gnome’s blue eyes opened wide with shock and he froze with his hands still gripping Lola’s breasts. From the castle above came the faint sound of cheering. Lola cocked her head to the side to listen to the proof that the child had reappeared, then bowed her head as though graciously accepting the applause of a grateful audience. In less than a moment, her brown eyes met the gnome’s.
“So, the princeling is back, the queen will be overjoyed, and I shall no longer be yours to toy with,” She looked pointedly down at the little man’s hands that were still gripping her breasts. The gnome pulled his hands back quickly and puffed his chest out as though greatly affronted.
“Madam, you have played me false! You bought a reprieve that you did not need! Why would you do that?”
“If I’ve overpaid, then you are in my debt, little man. . .there is, after all, magic involved. To pay your debt, perhaps I should force you to guess silly riddles?” Lola rolled off of the bed to stand looking down at the gnome consideringly, then moved to retrieve her chemise from the floor. As she dressed, the gnome pondered her words with comprehension beginning to dawn in his eyes.
“I will return tomorrow and you will tell me how many wildflowers I have picked in my life.”
“Oh, but what is the consequence if I am wrong, sweet Lola?”
Lola pondered her answer for long enough that the gnome feared she would leave before he had his answer. Just as she opened the door, she spoke. . .
“You are in my debt. Should your answer be wrong, you will simply remain in my debt. Don’t think I don’t know how that debt disturbs you. Of course, I suppose you might be able to convince me to give you another opportunity to pay your debt. . .”
Lola closed the door behind her and chuckled as she made her way to the stairway leading up to the castle and the celebration that was no doubt waiting to name her a hero. She almost skipped down the hall as she thought with a blush of the many wrong answers soon to come.
