A few monthslater
Late afternoon,right around dinner time, is always the hottest time of the day. It’s also nearing the time Vah’all returns from his rotation of security at the border. We’ve fallen into a routine over the last few months since moving into the cavern. I stick close, staying out of sight for safety purposes, but so far, I don’t mind. There’s a plethora of new plants growing along the bank of the river keeping me busy with my latest remedies and tea concoctions.
I’ve just filled one of my bowls to the brim with the bright red hacklebore berries, at least that’s what Vah’all told me they’re called, when the almost indiscernible swish of wings from behind me announces his arrival home. I’m wading through the river in water that comes up to my waist when his strong arms wrap around me and lift me into the air.
“What if one of my brothers decided to come for a visit? I would become so jealous if they saw you this way, I’d be forced to end them.”
I giggle because today, with this heat, I didn’t bother wearing anything into the water. “If someone came, who wasn’t you, I’d sink lower under the water and hide my lady bits.” He chuckles and turns me in his arms, kissing me long and deep. “Where are your pants? I know you didn’t patrol the borders pants less today.”
He motions toward the bank with his head. Sure enough, his clothes are tossed in a pile. “Ah, the hacklebore berries are ripe?” He sees the bowl sitting next to the small bushes, the red standing out against the dull rocks.
“Uh huh. Which is exciting for me because now I can add the finishing touches to my anti-itch cream.” There are these tiny flying bugs that hang out by the river, and they love to bite me. They’ve never bothered Vah’all, but his skin is much thicker and scalier. They feast on me, leaving behind itchy patches. Through trial and error, I’ve developed my own creams using the herbs and berries that grow around our cavern to treat these issues when they pop up. It’s the best of both worlds this way. I don’t have to feel so guilty for unenrolling in the intergalactic educational program, but I still get to experiment creating remedies, creams and teas with the things I find in nature on Bameh.
I used to spend all my time researching remedies to help with sleep troubles, but ever since I began sleeping with Vah’all, that hasn’t been an issue for me anymore. So, I’ve expanded my research.
“Let me look. Is your skin still irritated?” He gently slides me down his body until I’m back in the water. Once my feet support me again, he lifts my right leg out of the water so he can look at the red patch near my ankle where I haven’t been able to stop scratching for a few days now. He’s too tall and I’m not flexible enough, though, because in a fit of giggles, I start to go over backwards into the river.
Effortlessly, he scoops me into his arms, and we hover in the water together. “Did you do that on purpose?”
“Of course not. But I still forget how small you are sometimes.”
He kisses me along my jaw, down the column of my neck but I squirm because it tickles. “How did everything go along the border today?”
“All quiet.” He kisses my bottom lip, pulling it into his mouth before releasing it with a pop. I love when he’s so playful with me. He’s never in a rush, always taking his time to explore and show his desire. With my legs wrapped around his waist, he walks us into the deeper section of the river. The water is warm this time of day but still refreshing when the sun is so hot.
My fingers twist into his hair as our kisses deepen. His tongue strokes against mine making my pussy wet and achy. “Are you happy?” Vah’all surprises me by asking. I’m still panting from his kisses, in a daze ready for him to carry me inside and show me how much he loves me. We’ve been together for a while now and we’ve expressed our love, but he’s never specifically asked me this question before.
I kiss him gently, trying my best to put all my love into this act. And when I pull back, I nod my head and answer. “Yes, I’m happy.”
Tension melts from his body as his passion explodes. He moves us from the middle of the river to the sandy bank, setting me down so we have room to work. His wide palms seek out my thighs and flatten them to the ground. His head dips down and then seconds later his hot tongue licks me from my puckered hole to the top of my mound. He controls me so easily, rocking my hips forward and back.
A strangled moan escapes me. “Oh, this makes me really happy.” He doesn’t let up, but his lips spread like he’s smiling while he flicks my clit with his tongue. Two thick fingers slide into my pussy where he strokes me in pleasing curls, like I taught him to do. I’m so close when he suddenly pulls back.
“Sorry, my only.” He positions his cock over my mound as his lubricant gushes over me. It’s a huge perk that he produces his own natural arousal but sometimes it comes at inopportune times. He rubs the liquid into my pussy, massaging it into my lips. It only takes a few strokes on my clit before I burst with pleasure, crying out, begging him not to stop while he strokes his cock to get himself ready.
I’m still high from my first orgasm when he thrusts deep, the action causing a second orgasm to take over where the first left off. “Shit, Vah’all!” My nails dig into his shoulder as my back arches off the ground. He pounds into me while I struggle to breathe through the ripples of pleasure that consume me. “So good…” I manage to say, my eyes closing so I can focus on the experience.
Moments later, he flips me so I’m supporting myself in the sand on all four limbs. His massive palms spread my cheeks before he works his cock back inside of me. “Oh…you’re going to hit my G-spot like this.”
He strokes deeper, slower this time until he’s sure there’s no discomfort. It took a while before we could have sex without any pain purely because of his size. But now my body adapted to him and it’s only on rare occasions that there’s a painful moment. After a few thrusts, he pulls me up so my back is flush against his chest. His fingers play with my clit while he fills me, pumping in a slow, steady rhythm. “Come for me one more time. You close?” he asks, whispering in my ear.
I nod, squeezing my eyes shut as I get closer and closer to the finish line. “I can’t hold on much longer. You feel too good. So wet and hot. So tight.” With a pained groan, Vah’all wraps one arm around my hips and plunges deep, his cock pulsing as he comes. I’m quick to take over for him, moving my fingers to my clit and working it in a circle until I dive over the edge and follow him.
At this point, my body is trembling and boneless after so many intense orgasms. Vah’all holds me up with his arms until he pulls me into his body. Then we snuggle and rest on the bank of the river until we lose the heat from the afternoon sun.
I’m not sure whose stomach growls first but it’s the dose of reality we need to get us up and moving. The sun is almost gone. From where we lie on the bank, we can see a bit of orange and pink that paints a jagged line across the sky. Soon it’ll be dark, and I’ll need to warmth from the fire as well as my clothes to keep the chill of the night away.
“Are you ready to go inside, my only?” Vah’all asks, brushing his fingers through my hair that has now dried.
“Almost. We haven’t seen the flock of saribree yet. Once they fly past, we’ll go inside.”
“Hmm. You liked the story about the saribree?”
“Well, you said your people believe they’re a sign of good luck. It can’t hurt to make a wish when they fly past at night.”
“You make a wish every night?”
“I do.”
“What do you wish for?”
I shrug and even though I don’t like to tell what my wishes are once I’ve made them; I decide to give him the general idea. “You know…I make wishes that my friends stay safe and healthy on Nedruinia. I make wishes for us that we stay safe and can remain together. Things like that.”
He kisses my temple and wraps his wings around me now that the first brisk wind can be felt. “So, you wish every night that those you love will stay safe and healthy?”
I smile and look up into his eyes. “Yes. I guess that’s the gist of it.”
“Then tonight, I will make a wish along with you.”
We’re both quiet when the pack of orange, yellow and blue saribree fly overhead like they do every night on their way to their nest. Then, Vah’all stands and offers me his hand. “I love you, my only. Now let’s get you inside.”
“I love you, too.”
I take his hand and let him lead me home.
