Once I closed the door I crossed my arms in thought of what just happened. This is the second time my orc lover has been hostile toward a different man who has entered my life in some way: first sexual and then casual. I understood Milan's intentions weren't pure but I believed Nick's intentions were pure. I entered the kitchen to see Dorghu whipping some eggs in a bowl. A plate of bacon was on the table and I just moved up him gently wrapping my arms around his back and placing my face into his back.
"You okay?" I asked and he was quiet.
"Yeah." He answers and I nodded. "How'd you two meet anyways?" I smiled some.
"The day after our first night I met him working on his roof. He fell through and I was just making sure he was okay. I called a guy to help him fix his roof."
"And now that you've shown him kindness he's going to be a thorn in my side." he said his voice raising just a bit. I leaned around him now looking up at him and resting my chin on his large arm.
"He knows you have some meaning to me he will not interfere." I said. He glanced down at me.
"Some?" He asked and I just kissed his forearm and gave it a gentle lick before moving to stand beside him.
"You mean something to me that much I know." I said and he gave a quick grin as he looked at me. Once we ate and got dressed, we got into his car and took off. He was an excellent cook. I noticed his phone was ringing every few minutes and I glanced at his phone.
"You want to get that?" I asked.
"Nope." he said causally as he was eased back in his seat. I chuckled.
"Your friends are obviously worried about their leader." I said.
"It's my ex." he said and I nodded slowly thinking it was time to drop the subject for his tone told me so. I glanced out the window wondering where it was we were going.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"There's an uninhabited neighborhood on the other side of town. I can take you there to drive." He said. I smiled at the excitement and observed his hands as they steered.
"When I learn to drive and get my license, I'll buy a car." I said with a hopeful tone and he glanced at me.
"What do you know about buying cars?" he asked. I thought about his words before glancing down at my knees.
"Nothing." I said in sudden realization and he patted my leg.
"Don't worry. When the day comes that you are official to drive in the eyes of the law, I'll help you get a car." he said and I blinked rapidly caught off guard.
"Why would you wanna do that?" I asked and he shrugged.
"I like the look on some humans' faces when they see I can afford shit." he said. I stared at him for a moment before nodding. As we drove his phone went off again and he growled with annoyance.
"Want me to get it?" I asked and he laughed dryly.
"No. We definitely don't need you getting on Carla's bad side." he replied. I nodded.
"She betrayed your trust." I replied and he nodded.
"Numerous times." he said lowly, his voice almost dead. I nodded and looked ahead. "What about you? When you were with the elves...involved with anyone there?" I could tell he was trying not to sound to curious and I shook my head.
"I had a close bond with all the captives. But it was never beyond that with just one person. We were all doing what we had to do to survive in our assigned places." I explained. He nodded slowly.
"You were a slave?" he replied and I nodded.
"An upper class body slave." I said and he winced.
"What's that mean?" He asked.
"Upper class meant we served our master... employer, we served our employer and the staff who worked for him in his mansion. He has a group of elf assassins who did their job so well the mere mention of their name struck fear in us. I served them when they asked. No one is allowed to touch the upper class slaves without permission from my employer or his assassins." I explained becoming somewhat numb to our conversation. Dorghu scoffed.
"And they call my mind savages." he said bitterly and I didn't reply.
We spent most of the day driving. He taught me the usual of breaking and parking and when to stop. It was nice to make an entire day out of this. He even let me drive his car a bit and already I was obsessed with driving. I drove was to an abandoned super market and got out of the car in pure happiness.
"I love driving!" I gushed. Dorghu walked around the front of the car and smirked.
"You're a natural." He said swooping me off my feet and setting me gently on the hood of the car and leaning his head in to rest against mine. I sigh happily against him.
"Thank you." I said softly and he smiled.
"Anything for you." he said lowly and we shared gentle smiles and just as our lips were closing the space, his phone vibrated again and he snarled a bit leaned back.
"Answer your phone. Something could be wrong." I advised lightly and he sighed and nodded and picked up his phone.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"Where are you?" I heard the voice asked.
"Taking care of business." he lied.
"Bullshit! Your son has been worried sick about you! You owe it to him to come home and see him when shit goes down!" She snapped. She wasn't wrong. Dorghu nodded calmly.
"You're right. How stupid I have been. I'm on my way home right now." he said and hung up the phone. I gave him a sympathetic look.
"Just drop me off at my place and we can talk later. I don't want to come between you and your family." I suggested and he moved over to me and sighed smiling some.
"You are just too adorable you know that. Nope you're coming with me. Mike would love to see you." he said and I was shocked by his words but he placed me on the ground and led me toward the passengers side. Once we got in he hesitated in starting the car and he looked at me.
"Did your captors ever teach you their language?" He asked and I wondered what brought this question on but I nodded.
"They did. They thought it would boost our slave status and their popularity in having smart slaves." I said and he nodded slowly looking down some.
"You want to learn my language?" He asked somewhat shyly and my body inflated at his words.
"I'd be honored to learn." I replied. He smiled and started his car with more enthusiasm then we drove off.
"After I calm my ex down I'll take you home." He said and I nodded.
"She seems genuinely afraid for you." I said and he nodded with disbelief.
"Yeah I used to think that too. At one point, I was deeply in love with that girl. I mean she is the mother of my child, the orc I would die for, and still would. But she got caught up in the game. She liked the idea of being with me and soon thought she could use that to bed other orcs. And it worked. The love between us is dead." he said roughly and I stared at him for a moment. At least he got the opportunity to love.
"I understand." I replied softly. We pulled up at the familiar apartments. Back in orc country. I swallowed some and glanced at Dorghu when he parked the car. I noticed three orc women were chatting amongst themselves. They looked over at the car and gestured for someone to come out of the apartment. I saw the orc woman from earlier when the cops came around. This must be Carla.
"Stay here." Dorghu said with a tired sigh and got out of the car. I stared and watched as the two confronted each other and already Carla's hands were moving fast and wild. Dorghu was trying to talk to her, but she hit his chest and pushed him. Suddenly they were blocked from my vision and I almost yelped as I saw Ty standnig there.
"Ty. You're okay." I said going against my better judgement and rolling down the window.
"Yeah of course, why wouldn't I?" Ty asked confused. I shrugged.
"The shooting and everything are Rocko and Dodge okay?" I asked.
"Doing just fine!" I hear Rocko exclaim as he and Dodge are actually walking over to the car. I smiled and got out of the car and their large forms hid me.
"I'm glad you guys are alright." I said and they laughed some.
"That's new. A human concerned for us." he said. I sort of eyed the area looking for Mike and saw that he was dribbling a basket ball with his friends in the street.
"No I want to see this home wrecking bitch!" I hear a snap and the four of us look over to see Carla heatedly walking over to us. I tended and backed into the car but Dorghu was right behind her grabbing her arm.
"You need to stop with this attitude shit!" He demanded but she ripped from his hold and moved even closer. I was expecting an attack and my body shut down for a moment, frozen against the car door as I had been trained when I got punished. But she never got close to me. Ty and the others were like a brick wall blocking her from me and I was completely stunned by the actions.
Carla tried to force her way through but Dorghu lifted her up and just placed her behind him and the arguing continued.
"How dare you bring a fucking human into this neighborhood!" she snapped.
"She's allowed to go where she pleases!" Dorghu shouted. Everyone seemed to be watching with entertained looks and I just looked away.
"Why because you're giving her dick that makes her one of us!" She snapped. "She ain't never gonna be one of us! She can never be blooded!"
"Shut your goddamn mouth Carla." Dorghu warned. I heard tires screeching now and I lifted my head up to see a car driving down the middle of the road, guns blasting and bringing the neighborhood to life. Everyone ducked their heads immediately and crouched and scattered. There were screaming and shouting and I thought I had told my mind to drop to the ground and take cover, but instead I find myself running across the street and onto the side walk. What the hell was I doing? I was doing my best to out run the car but also running from the steam of bullets that were following on my heals. I saw Mikey staring wide eyed at the car that was coming directly for him and I pushed my body to go faster even though it felt impossible. Before I knew it I was in the street, my body colliding with the child's body. He wasn't like a human so it took all my might to push him off the street.
We rolled onto the ground and I crawled over him thinking the bullets could still fly.
I expected to be sprayed with bullets but it never came now there was screaming all over.
I sat up slowly panting and looking down at Mike who was slowly sitting up.
"Mike... you okay?" I asked looking him over. Before I knew it was almost knocked over by his body crashing into mine, his arms wrapping around me tightly as he cried into my chest. I stared at him for a moment before gently stroking his head.
"MICHAEL!" I hear Dorghu and I looked up somewhat dazed to see him and Carla running across the street toward us.
"Dad!" Mike cried and Dorghu just came over and lifted him into the air hugging him close to him, Carla right behind him, her hand rubbing his head.
"Are you hurt?" He asked frantically and Mike shook his head. Dorghu just groaned and hugged him close with relief. I was still dazed and felt immediately sore from crashing into Mike. "Get him inside, get him inside!" I slowly look up to see Dorghu helping me up and looking me over as well.
"Are you hurt?" He asked.
"Yeah worry about the human." Carla snapped and he growled at her.
"Carla take out son into the fucking house now!" He roared and then looked up at me and I just blinked furiously looking around are everyone.
"Is anyone hurt?" I asked raggedly. "Are your people safe?" He just smiled and nodded pulling me into a tight hug.
"We're safe baby. We're safe." he said and I just sighed and closed my eyes.
"Boss," Rocko called and we turned to see the large orc and the other two confronting him. "It was those fucking RedBone orcs. I recognize their colors and that car was at the underground. I can find out who that car belongs to."
And at that moment I saw any fear and pain that were once in Dorghu's eyes fade away and replaced with pure anger and rage. He looked at me and then looked in the direction of his apartment before looking at his boys.
"Find those motherfuckers. I want them brought to the church when you do!" He said in a hard tone I had never heard before.
