After a few minutes of snuggling, I feel the Khajiit remove my armor and a rough tongue scrapes my nipple. I can't help shivering when she takes the flesh in her mouth. I sigh in content when she begins to suckle the tit's flesh, her hands slowly coming down to rub my waist. I push off the snow blanket that's surrounded us to free our bodies to fuck. The Khajiit smiles as she begins to slowly open her mouth wider, taking even more of my flesh into her mouth. She begins to flip me over so she's on top of me, and I feel her teeth suddenly sink into my flesh. I moan at the pain, the woman awakening the animalistic side of me.

However, I manage to keep that side of me in control as the vampire on top of me begins to go to work. She spreads my legs, laps at the tit between her teeth, and lets a low growl rumble from her chest. Eventually she brings her other hand into the mix and fiddles with the nub above my entrance. I'm already dripping when her fingers seek out my entrance, slowly sinking into me. I sigh in content, but quickly realize the woman will need a little guidance in how to please a woman. I thrust my hips in a certain way to assist her, bringing my hand down to show her how to play with my nub. My friend gets the general idea and follows my lead. After a few moments, I remove my hand and trust that the woman knows what to do. I'm surprisingly not disappointed.

Her long and clawed fingers slowly sink into me, her jaw tightens even more, and her rough tongue scratches against my nipple. I sigh in content and whisper encouragements to the woman currently pleasuring me. The Khajiit is still learning how to pleasure a woman, but she's actually quite good for her first time with a woman that isn't a whore. The Khajiit slowly begins to increase her pace, fucking me harder than before. I let out a low groan of approval and whisper, "Harder. Faster.". My friend does what I want her to, beginning to slowly bring me to my peak.

Her fingers scrape against my insides, her mouth begins to practically maul my tit, and her other hand is roughly rubbing against my sensitive nub. I bring one hand up to play with my neglected breast, and my other hand winds itself in the Khajiit's mane. Soon enough I let out a noise of approval as my cunt begins to spasm, the Khajiit oblivious to what's happening as she continues to fuck me at the same pace. I never correct her, instead letting her fuck me right on through my peak. I plan on stopping her once the muscles in my cunt stop twitching, but I find myself groaning as the Khajiit begins to bring me to a second crescendo of pleasure. And a third. And fourth. It's only after the fourth spasms of pleasure subside I decide I've had enough, and tell my friend, "Enough! Enough, you've done more than amazing!".

The Khajiit pulls back, and I cringe when I hear her pop her jaw back into place. Then, she blinks at me and ask, "Are you sure? I didn't think you-". I interrupt her by nodding and saying, "Yes! Yes, you were amazing!". I pull her up beside me, wrapping her in my arms. I nuzzle her head and say, "You were amazing.". My friend nervously ask, "Really?". I nod and promise, "You did great.". We both smile and go back to snuggling, both of us satisfied. However, after a little bit I tell her, "We need to get going. My father isn't going to kill himself.". She nods and we untangle ourselves from one another, but only I can get dressed.

The Khajiit's armor was shredded, but she simply shrugs it off and promises to find armor later. When we're ready my friend grabs the bow, absolutely gleaming with joy. We both look inside the altar and see the last portal. We both step through, transported right outside the cave we originally came in from. The Khajiit looks over to where I think Solitude is and tells me, "Okay, let's go. We'll have to stop by Solitude to get some elven arrows for you to bleed on, but that's the only detour we can make.". I nod in agreement, motion at the path, and tell my friend, "Lead the way.". The Khajiit begins walking away and I easily follow her, both of us silent. Am I suppose to say something about what we just did? Does she want to say something about what we just did? I'm absolutely fine with what just happened, but is she okay with it?

I look over and see the Khajiit's stoic face, the woman completely focused on where we're going. Is she usually like this, or is she acting strange for her? I never paid attention enough attention before to notice. I decide to bite the arrow, clear my throat, and say, "So...". The Khajiit looks over and me and nonchalantly goes, "Hm?". I cough and ask, "Are you okay with what we just did?". The woman cocks her head in confusion, then it dawns on her and she says, "Oh! The sex! Yes. Absolutely fine with it.". We both fall silent again, but I realize something. That's not the question I wanted answered. I want to know what it meant to her.

If I mean something to her and sex was just us gaining trust for one another, or if I was just a nice fuck the Khajiit will enjoy and forget about. I realize it's absolutely stupid, we've been in a relationship for a long period of time, we've saved each other's lives, and the Khajiit didn't simply leave once I finished pleasuring her. Not to mention I'm an ancient vampire, so it shouldn't matter what it was to either of us. But it's still nagging at me, and I need to know. I once again bite the arrow and question the woman, "What did it mean to you?". The woman was gnawing at her claws as she walked, but stops and easily answers, "The both of us solidifying our trust in one another and showing how much we love one another.".

I stop walking, but the Khajiit keeps going for a few seconds before she's realized I've stopped. The woman turns around and ask, "Serana? What's wrong?". I blink and whisper, "Love?". The woman nods and says, "Love. Now, can we get going before the sun's up?". I don't move and the woman quickly realizes something's going on. My friend walks back to me and when she's close to me I question, "You love me?". She nods and agrees, "I love you.". She looks confused and ask, "Didn't you know that?". When I shake my head she quickly says, "Well I do. I love you more than Ulfric Stormcloak loves himself.".

I blink and counter, "I don't know who Ulfric Stormcloak is.". The Khajiit waves my concern off and assures me, "He loves himself a lot.". I slowly get a little closer to the woman, swallowing my pride and fear as I tell her, "I love you.". I say it as quickly as I can, terrified the woman will be disturbed or tell me she wasn't being serious. But all the woman does is smile and ask, "Is something wrong?". When I shake my head she insist, "Something's wrong. You're asking what the sex meant to me, you questioned if I love you, and-". She snaps her jaws shut before whispering, "You're afraid I'm going to leave you.". I open my mouth to fight her accusations, then close my jaws and nod when I realize what she's said is true.

The Khajiit offers me another small smile, shakes her head, and gets as close to me as she can. The naked woman wraps her arms around me before whispering, "I'll never leave you. You know that.". Our lips find one another's and we simply enjoy the kiss for a few moments, then we pull apart and resume our walking. I feel a little better now that I'm assured the woman isn't just going to walk away once all of this is over. Soon enough we arrive at Solitude, the sun still hidden behind the mountains. We can't find an open store, but the Khajiit crouches down by a smith's store and whispers, "Watch out for guards.".

I'm about to ask her what she means, then she silently unlocks the door and rolls inside. I hiss in surprise, but stay outside and watch for approaching guards. Nobody sees us and eventually my friend returns, at least a hundred elven arrows in her arms. She smirks and says, "Come on!". She runs away at a speed I can barely match, stopping when we're outside the city and safely hidden. Once we're both settled the woman says, "Okay, time for the blood.". I sigh and mumble, "Let's just get this over with.". I pull back my arms, pricking my skin with the tip of each arrow. It takes forever, and when I'm done my arms are riddled with holes. But the Khajiit is absolutely thrilled, so it makes it somewhat worth it.

When she has the arrows she stands and begins walking away. All I can do is follow her, the Khajiit somehow knowing where to go. We don't speak as we walk, both of us feeling the pressure beginning to push down on us. We don't even speak when we begin swimming to the island, the boat having sunk long ago. When we come out of the water my friend suddenly realizes she's naked. She stops, turns to me, and ask, "Why didn't we get armor in Solitude? Why did we wait this long?". I eye her and admit, "I'm surprised you made it this far without remembering you're naked. It's fine, just transform if and when the fighting starts.".

She still looks a little nervous, but nods and begins to once again lead the way. The heavy oak doors groan when we open them, the castle surprisingly quiet. One of the death hounds bounds up to us, licking some dried blood from the Khajiit's side. She chuckles and scratches the beast, then ask me, "Do you think this guy will help us?". I shrug and answer, "We can kill him if we have to.". The woman laughs, rubs the hound's head, and ask, "You want to come with me boy?". He lets out a disturbing bark in answer. I'm not sure what it means, but he begins to follow us. However, I hear him whimper when we finally find my father. He's already in the chapel and transformed, waiting for us to find him.

My friend and her hound hang back, allowing my father and I to talk. He starts it by saying, "So, you've returned. Is your... pet keeping you entertained?". I scoff and tell him, "You know why we're here.". He nods in agreement and states, "Of course I do. You disappoint me, Serana. You've taken everything I provided for you and thrown it all away for this...half-bred vampire.". I feel my anger rising as I snarl, "Provided for me? Are you insane? You've destroyed our family. You've killed other vampires. All over some prophecy that we barely understand. No more. I'm done with you. You will not touch her.".

My father laughs and growls, "So, I see this dragon has fangs. Your voice drips with the venom of your mother's influence. How alike you've become.". I shake my head and deny, "No...Because unlike her, I'm not afraid of you. Not anymore.". My father sighs, turns to my friend, and hisses, "And you. It appears I have you to thank for turning my daughter against me. I knew it was only a matter of time before your ambition outgrew your loyalty.". The Khajiit practically growls, "Loyalty? You never intended to let me live.". My father shrugs it off and says, "A small price to pay for the betterment of our kind.". My friend shakes her head and says, "You're an insult to our kind.". Harkon simply says, "Oh, come now...spare me your notions of kinship. You've simply used Serana in an attempt to take away what should rightfully be mine.".

I wish I could say I was one hundred percent certain my father was lying, but I can't say that. Worry was already in my heart, and grows when he says that. But it melts away when my lover (the fact I can use that word makes me practically giddy with pleasure) says, "I would never use Serana like that.". My father easily counter, "The vampire is eternal, and with immortality comes the revelation that these bonds never endure... it's fleeting, momentary at best.".

My friend looks at me as she promises, "This bond is more than just fleeting. I know it.". My father and my friend were talking about completely separate bonds, but my father continues by saying, "If you insist. I'm growing weary of speaking to you and my traitorous daughter. I'll give you a single chance to turn over the bow to me. There will not be a second.". My friend laughs, pulls the bow from her back, and practically roars, "Never!". My father roars in return, "Very well then, you leave me no choice!". In an instant the battle of the century has started.
