Chapter 7

Gem -27th of Last Seed, 4E 202

It was the morning before Harvest's End. Gem did not know what to expect and had no idea what to wear. She was anxious, she wanted to make a good impression on Brynjolf. It had been nearly a week since they spent that passionate night together. Just thinking about it made her all warm and tingly inside. She loved the way he made her fell and desired to feel him close to her again.

Gem sat in the Ragged Flagon and was enjoying her breakfast before Brynjolf walked over to her, feeling the blood rush to her cheeks. He sat down next to her. "How are you doing, love? I've missed you.", he said kissing her hand.

"I've missed you too, honey. I was out on a job.", she said looking into his handsome emerald eyes.

"I would've stopped by if you were in town. I can get enough of you, darling.", he said whispering in her ear making her breathe heavily.

Vex and Sapphire interjected and said in unison, "Boss, we'll all be taking Gem off your hands. There's a lot that needs to be done before the festival. We'll be needing the rest of the day off."

"Well, I guess I don't have much choice, lasses. Today is a holiday after all.", he said before the two ran off with Gem giggling like a couple of maids with their bags full. They left the guild and proceeded to the market. Gem saw that the city of Rifton was getting ready for the festivities. The market was adorned with torches and there were quite a few bards staying at the Bee and Barb.

"What did you two have in mind? I have nothing suitable to wear.", said Gem.

"First we're going to help you find a worthy dress , then we'll do your hair and make-up", said Vex and Sapphire

"Why are you doing this for me?", Gem asked.

"You have proven to be a valuable member of the guild and Brynjolf is just crazy about you. He's fallen in love with you. We can tell. I haven't seen him this happy in a long time. Don't mess it up.", said Vex.

"He loves me?", said Gem in disbelief.

"Why else do you think he worries so much? Plus you love him too, don't you?", asked Sapphire.

"He also has a surprise for you later.", hinted Vex.

"Yes, well I guess we better get started.", said Gem.

The three of them looked for a couple of hours before they found the perfect linen dress. It was concord in color, ankle length, corseted waist and had a sweetheart neckline which accented her curves perfectly, offset her amethyst eyes and made her ashy complexion glow. Then they bought a pair of sandals that laced up her ankles.

"Let's go to your place. I looks like we have everything. We can wash up and I will mix the make-up.", said Vex.

Gem couldn't help but wonder what surprise Brynjolf had in store for her and did he really love her? He was the only man she'd ever been or have feelings for none the less. This was all so new to her and honestly had no idea what to expect. She missed his touch, the warmth from his body but that would have to wait until later.

The three women arrived at Gem's Honeyside home. Sapphire washed Gem's crimson hair and wrapped sections of it in cloth so it would take on a nice shape as it dried. Vex proceeded to crush some herbs and berries in the kitchen. Vex decided to do her make up first after she lightly styled her ashen hair. She lined the corners of her eyes with a deep eggplant colored paste and colored in her lips in a lovely shade of plum. Sapphire added a coral paste to her eyes and cheeks. Now it was time for Gem's make over. They added a subtle black line to the outline of Gem's eyes and adorned her eyelids, cheeks and lips with a rosewood colored cream. She put on the dress and let down her now crimson ringlets. She looked stunning.

"Brynjolf is going to loose his breath once he takes a look at you." said Sapphire."

"Or he won't be able to keep his hands off her.", chuckled Vex.

"Like he can now.", winked Sapphire.

"Girls, thank you but you are making me a little uncomfortable.", said Gem blushing. Sapphire wore a blue and green fine dress while Vex wore gray. Clearly Gem stood out among them. The sun was starting to set and it was time to meet everyone at the market place. They left Gem's home and walked to the short distance to the market. Her eyes meet Bryn's...

Brynjolf

Brynjolf saw Gem with the other lasses and she was absolutely breathtaking. He couldn't believe his eyes how beautiful she was. He just wore the same blue fine clothes he wore the day he met her this very spot. He approached her saying, "You look are the most beautiful woman in Skyrim, darling". I'm happy to have you near me." He then places his fingers on her chin pulling her in for a kiss.

"Why thank you, Brynjolf. You don't look so bad yourself.", said Gem.

Vex walked over to Delvin giving him a kiss and outing the relationship that everyone knew was going on. Sapphire embraced Tonilla, the guilds armor expert.

"May I have this dance?", asked Brynjolf while placing his right hand at the small of her back and the left at her right hand while taking in her seductive vanilla perfume and pheromones. The two danced peacefully until he built up the courage to ask her, "Gem, darling. You have proven to be an invaluable asset to our guild. I have spoken to the other members and they all agree. There is no one better suited to run the guild than you. Will you be our guild master? I will remain second in command, if you choose so."

"Oh Bryn... I don't know what to say. Except, thank you for believing in me.", said Gem in shock.

"That isn't a yes, love...", stated Brynjolf.

"Yes, Brynjolf. Only if you'll be there helping me along the way.", she said.

"I will always be there for you, love. Promise.", he said leaning in to passionately kiss her. "We can inform the guild of your decision tomorrow and there will be a small ceremony." he explained. Noticing that many of the guests were leaving to their homes he asked, "Would you like me to walk you home?

"Only if you plan on staying.", she said with her cheeks flushed.

"I wouldn't have it any other way, darling.", he said kissing her neck.

Gem let out an innocent moan as they walked to her home. She noticed that the moon was full and asked, "Would you like to take a dip with me in the docks. I like going out there when the moon is full."

"That sounds like a marvelous idea.", he said as they entered her home with lust in his voice. Gem gathered a few towels and loosened her dress. Brynjolf let it fall to the floor while he removed his tunic. Her crimson hair flowed past her breasts. She pulled him close to her, allowing him to feel her heart race. She kisses him, lightly lining her tongue around his lips. "Mmm, if you keep that up, love. We'll never get to take that dip.", he said.

"I just missed you so much.", she said.

"Why don't you take a break for a while and stay in Rifton. I'll make it worth your while.", he said looking into her eyes. She sat on a chair while he untied her sandals and removed them from her feet.

"Come, lose your pants and meet me in the water.", she said picking up the towels while still wearing a small cloth covering her honeypot. She opened the door and dove right in to the water from her deck. She floated on her back allowing the moonlight to shine off her elfin skin.

He laid his pants on her bed. Closed the door and dove in after her. Just looking at her excited him. He wanted to bed her again and again. He longed to hear her sweet moans of passion underneath him. He wanted her for now and forever. He loved her and everything about her. She was perfect and wanted her to be his and his alone. Never before had he felt this strongly for a woman. She had stolen his heart and had only wished she felt the same about him. He swam over to her and said, "Well darling, I can see why you love your nightly swims so much. The water is so relaxing."

"Tell me Bryn, what were you really selling off as Falmarblood elixir? As guild master I should be informed of all your shady dealings.", she asked smiling while trying to keep herself a float.

"You really want to know, love? Jazbay wine mixed with a pinch of Redwater Skooma.", he said.

"You sneaky bastard. So you would have gotten them high and they would've believed any vision they had.", she said.

"Aye, love and yes I am a bastard.", he said.

"I'm sorry, I meant no offense. Do you know who your parents were?", she said feeling guilty.

"No, darling. Just that my father was high-born.", he said.

"What makes you say that?", she inquired.

"Just the way Grelod the Kind treated me as a lad. She is a nasty woman and shouldn't be around children.", he said.

"Aren't orphanages required to keep documents on the children there when they are surrendered. I don't know, the testimony of a guard or something.", she told him.

"Aye, but I never wished to look into it. I wasn't wanted.", he said.

"Let's go inside and I'll show you how much you are wanted.", she said trying to be seductive.

"How could I turn down that offer?", he said following Gem out of the water while looking at her backside going up the stairs. They dried off and his hands met her body. He couldn't keep them off her and began to kiss her lustfully. She opened the door and they fell into her bed as the door closed. "Darling, do you have any idea how beautiful you are to me?," he asked while lightly running his hands over her body making her heart beat out of her chest.

"Let me lead. I want to show you how much you are wanted.", she said pressing her lips against his. Brynjolf laid on his back and just watched his elfin beauty before him. She lightly ran the tips of her finger nails against his abdomen making him moan slightly. She moved her other hand down to his stiffness and began teasing it before softly stroking him. Then she straddled him, enticing him with her arousal. "Wait, let's just stay just like this for a while.", she said breathing heavily into his ear. "Brynjolf... There is something I need to tell you and I'm not sure how you may react.", she said while kissing him.

"What is it? You can tell me anything." he said looking into her eyes while pulling her hair behind her pointy ears.

"I think I'm..." she said while sliding herself on him while letting out a cry of passion.

"You think you are what, darling?", he grunted with lust.

"In love with you.", she confessed while he filled her completely.

"Ohh, Gem. I love you too.", he said as he flipped her under him thrusting into her with more force than the last time making her moan his name.

"Ohh Brynjolf, I want you and all of you.", she moaned.

"You have me, love...", he whispered in her ear while increasing their rhythm hearing her moan just for him. Suddenly he feels his body lose control and spit his seed within her again while calling out her name. Their breathing returned to normal he rolled off her and pulled her close to his heart. "I love you, Gem.", he said while giving her a kiss on her forehead."

"I love you too, Brynjolf.", she said while playing with his auburn chest hair.

We should sleep, my darling. Tomorrow is a big day.", he said holding her close and feeling happy just to hear her say it. They blissfully drifted off to sleep.
