Fifth month. Fourth day of the second week.
Emma didn't sleep well the night Ter'kan left. She woke up the next day with mixed feelings of anxiety. But her sadness was short-lived once she remembered it was Mar'ten's turn to train her that day. The thought of her next encounter with the hunter made her happy because this would help to take her mind off things. She met Mar'ten in the weapons room where her spear was always put on display. They greeted each other before they grabbed their weapons and went out again, walking side by side.
Clamors soon caught their attention as they were coming up to the training area. They entered one of the rooms and found a group of eight males, standing on the observation platform. They were watching with great interest in the battle that was taking place. That was an unexpected spectacle for the least to say, especially for Emma. She saw Seki'sen battling with Gah'deh. The clash of their weapons and their roars were, indeed, an impressive sight for the young woman. Seki'sen began to show off his prowess as soon as he had noticed Emma's presence in the crowd. He was delivering relentless and powerful blows as he kept glancing at her from time to time.
It was evident to Emma that Seki'sen was attempting to seduce her again. Surely she was impressed by his fighting prowess. However and in spite of his efforts, she still didn't find herself attracted to him and just kept following him with her eyes, unbiased.
Seki'sen won after a long and fierce battle. He made one last attempt in order to catch her attention before evacuating the place followed by the group. Mar'ten began to train Emma right after. Everything went according to Emma's wishes even though her beloved leader wasn't there for translating. Mar'ten had already worked with her several times before so he knew her weak points and what she needed to practice the most.
Emma always appreciated Mar'ten's company because his gestures were always distinguished which helped to revive that weak spot she still had for him. She remembered many stories that Ter'kan had told her about Mar'ten's past life. There was one that made her particularly sad. His mother had mistreated him during the first years of his childhood because he had been forcibly sired with a male she never appreciated. One day he hurt himself when he had tried to escape the maternal anger. And the scar he had near his left eye was a reminder of that incident.
Seki'sen appeared in the training room again during a break. His presence displeased Emma so she did on purpose to show Mar'ten affection by resting her head against his arm. That was her way to reject the second and made him understand that her interest was focused somewhere else. Seki'sen observed the scene from the platform, tilting his head to the right. The training resumed under the second's watchful eye. His presence upset Emma. However it had rather a positive impact on her. This gave her an extraordinary amount of energy thus enhancing her fighting prowess. Emma had a great time nevertheless. She enjoyed the training session mainly because Mar'ten was her teacher. She appreciated his company so much that she felt the need to stay with him for a longer period of time. So she asked him, by using signs language to come and eat with her. The hunter accepted with a nod while putting his hand on her right shoulder.
Fifth month. Fifth day of the second week.
The next morning Emma woke up in a better mood. She went out at midday and headed to the weapons room straight away. For some reasons she felt wished to handle her spear just for fun. She was just feet away to reach the entrance of that room when suddenly a faint bang broke the silence. Seki'sen appeared in the doorway right after. Emma stopped dead. She sighed, giving a thought to the situation and hesitating what to do. And then upon further reflection, she decided to stay. So she entered the place almost brushing past Seki'sen. She approached the rack where her spear was put on display.
The second cocked his head to one side, eyeing her greedily for a brief moment before closing back the sliding doors. Emma turned around abruptly and saw him coming towards her. She grabbed her spear and held it in a way in order to keep him at distance. Seki'sen didn't seem to care. He approached her calmly and took her wrist in his enormous hand. He pressed until she ended up dropping her spear. He then let go of her. Emma took the opportunity and quickly stepped back in order to grab another spear.
She held it in that same way as the first one. It still didn't discourage Seki'sen one bit. On the contrary her new attempt aroused him even more. So he took a hold of her wrist again and obliged her to drop that weapon too. He then cupped her face between his enormous and clawed hands which made Emma look straight into his eyes. He leaned closer to her and said something before he stepped behind her. Suddenly he hugged her in the same way he already did in the greens reserve as he emitted a soft purr. At that point his half-harden was already showing under the loin cloth.
Emma frowned then tried to pull away from him by struggling violently but Seki'sen refused to let her go. He removed his loin cloth with one hand right after while he was still holding her against him with his other one. He began to rub against her back as he kept emitting low trill. This torrid approach made him harder and harder with each new move. Emma made another attempt to pull away from him but he once again refused to release his grasp. Seki'sen continued rubbing against her while emitting louder purrs of satisfaction. He did it for another moment. And then he stopped as suddenly he filled the room with different vocalizations. Emma heard him letting out long and deep growls. She soon felt a warm wetness on her back.
So she struggled again violently, shouting with anger and disgust because she understood, he has just finished: 'NO!...NO!'
He finally let go of her. Emma rushed toward the door and opened it. She turned around and gave him a quick and angry look before she ran away.
Meanwhile Seki'sen remained standing in the middle of the room, overwhelmed by the unexpected pleasure he just had.
Exactly at the same moment Emma has just entered her quarters. She rushed into the bathing room and undressed herself quickly. She went under the shower and began to wash herself vigorously. Her anger was so high that she felt the need to let it out. So she shouted as if she was addressing the second himself: 'SEKI'SEN! YOU BASTARD!'
Emma remained locked in her quarters for the rest of the day. She went out again before the sunset once her anger had subsided. She walked around aimlessly while she kept thinking of Ter'kan's return constantly. That night she strongly hoped for his return but nothing happened.
The next morning she woke up with a new hope. So she dressed and visited again those places where she was more likely to find him. Unfortunately her searches remained fruitless.
The third day went by and her worries grew bigger because Ter'kan and his comrades were still away. She spent a lot of time remembering stories about his past hunting parties and learnt how many times he already had a brush with death. However she refused to put forward this idea. On the other hand, she was absolutely certain that Seki'sen had contact with Ter'kan. Unfortunately her lack of communication with him the second in command didn't allow her to be informed about the current situation.
Mar'ten trained Emma again during the morning of the fourth day. That day he had been the one who invited her for a meal but she refused due to anxiety. She chose to stay in her room, all alone. She stayed in there for the rest of the day and still hoping that Ter'kan would return any time soon. Needless to say that torment kept her awake during long hours at night. She finally managed to succumb to sleep just as the sun was rising.
Emma woke up later with a slight headache. So she put a few drops of a medicine in a glass of water and drank it.
Later that day she had another encounter with Seki'sen just as she was leaving her room. She found him, standing in the corridor. He briefly looked at her while cocking his head to the right before he walked away. Emma followed him with her eyes until he turned the curve of the corridor. She remained in front of her door for a while, thinking what to do. And then upon further reflection she went for the usual stroll in spite of her apprehension.
In the course of the sixth day Emma's worries augmented even more because Ter'kan was still away. That day she woke up tired and in a bad mood. As the day went by she became increasingly more nervous. She felt so uneasy that she was always on the move. She needed to lurk here and there in order to calm down her fever of anxiety. Unluckily she stumbled upon Seki'sen in the fruits reserve. This encounter made her really mad because he tried his luck as usual. Emma didn't hesitate to defend herself more aggressively. This didn't discourage the second in command one bit. On the contrary, this made him more aroused and determined in the conquest for her. Emma rewarded him with punches and slaps each time he was gently stroking a part of her body.
Emma went back to her quarters shaken nevertheless. But her nervousness was short-lived. Soon after heavy foot steps resounded in the corridor. The sliding doors opened and Ter'kan finally appeared in the doorway. He was still equipped but unmasked.
Emma ran towards him with shiny eyes and wrapped her arms around his waist. She said as she looked up at him: 'I missed you so much.'
The leader responded to her affection while he gently stroked the back of her head: 'I missed you too, love!' He then took her hand and approached the bed. He sat and pulled her between his thighs. Emma continued as now she was caressing his left and lower mandible: 'I didn't expect you would be gone for such a long time! What happened to you?'
He answered after having stroked her forearm slowly once: 'I've changed my plan on the second day of the expedition! My comrades and I went as far as North America. We had challenging and satisfying encounters. I will show you what I brought back.'
Emma added with a smile as she kept caressing his mandible: 'I can't wait to see all that.'
Ter'kan soon tackled another subject. He said as he kept caressing her forearm: 'I'm sure things happened to you during my absence.'
She admitted it after a deep sigh: 'Yes, my Ter'kan! You have no idea.'
The leader exclaimed while typing on his wrist gauntlet: 'That's interesting! Tell me about it!'
So Emma confessed the torments she went through and ways she spent her time alone or in Mar'ten's company. Not to mention those encounters she had with Seki'sen and the manners she had to treat him due to his behavior. Ter'kan listened to her carefully while looking at her with interest. He then asked as he became more perplexed: 'Is that what just happened? The more you hit him the more he became aroused and determined?'
Emma responded with seriousness on her face: 'Absolutely! He didn't care how defensive I was. He just kept caressing me on and on.'
Ter'kan paused briefly as he kept his eyes fixed on her and emitting a low trill at the same time. He then slightly tilted his head to the right and asked: 'And you? How did you feel about that?'
Emma frowned at him then answered with more seriousness on her face: 'I didn't feel anything!' She added in a low tone by putting her hand on the right part of his face and looking into his eyes. 'You know you are the only one I love.'
Emma sighed with comfort then talked about a different matter: 'I just got an idea.'
She went on as now she was brushing her hands on parts of his muscular chest that were not covered by the armor plates: 'Remove all your equipment! We are going to have a shower together.'
Ter'kan stood up and complied. He began to remove his equipment piece by piece. Emma enjoyed watching him very much while she stripped naked herself at the same time. They retired in the bathing room and spent a very pleasant time, washing and caressing each other under the running water. Their reunion ended up in a torrid sex session. They made love in the room on the floor, in the middle of the leader's scattered hunting gear.
