Once the Hunter finally stopped she came to realize they were at the same cave where they stayed during the storm. "So, is this my new home?"
"It'll do, it's a cave that doesn't contain dampness." She nodded and hesitatingly asked, "What about winter and keeping the heat in? Cooking over a fire inside and it fills with smoke...I'm sorry there's just so many things to consider."
He led her inside growling, "As I've said it'll do...for now. You'll get a proper home later." "Ok, no need to get huffy."
Once a fire was started so she could see she noticed a bedding with fur blankets. He was prepared.
She wanted to ask...Why did they leave so quickly? Why couldn't she say goodbye to Gurjin? But that quickly changed when he scooped her up and gently placed her small form on the bedding.
"Don't look so surprised, even I know what mates do on their first night."
Her mouth was pillaged harshly by the Hunter; a thick long hot tongue tracing every inch of the inside of her mouth.
The woman had already slowly participated, the tongue was oddly doing wonders already and removing her dress. She had to take the necklace herself so he wouldn't break it.
When the mouth disengaged the heated kiss and traveled down her smooth neck he just kept licking and sucking on downwards.
She gasped and tried to push Skekmal away when he sucked her tender inner thigh harshly, leaving a nice hickie before engulfing the blossom just begging for his tender affection.
Farida arched her back and moaned; bucking her hips up like mad to feel more of the hot mouth surrounding it, biting her lip to keep from making any more noise out due to embarrassment.
She was about to cum when the Hunter stopped, making his new mate whimper, "Don't stop…Skekmal~"
Her body quivered in need and wanted to feel the pleasure of that thick cock inside her.
Skekmal chuckled and lifted her legs after positioning the tip and starting to shove it in.
He wasn't exactly gentle but not brutal either, already thrusting at a firm hard pace making his Farida's body rock wildly back and forth. Her back arched when the angle changed as her sweet spot being struck relentlessly now with no mercy.
The Hunter leaned down and licked away the drool leaking from his wife's parted mouth, arching a brow in surprise when she leaned forward and started tangling their tongues together with much force; he didn't complain but gladly participated.
She couldn't think straight anymore and didn't even remember being flipped over; it felt like hours from this heated copulation.
Once it ended...it was only briefly in his point of view. After so many minutes of rest the woman gasped in surprise when he grabbed her from behind and lifted her off the bed, going to the wall before two extra pair of hands/arms grabbed her wrists to be held over her head.
He chuckled at her response, "These come in handy sometimes."
She whimpered as Skekmal grabbed her hips to bring her closer as he re-positioned his length and glided her down on it.
Mouth agape from how deeper it was, the woman couldn't resist the pleasure creeping up again…for some reason it was doing wonders for her and she didn't know why…unless it was just because he was being gentle this time.
She didn't have time to think anymore when he began to ram his cock inside her harder, the woman yelping from each contact with strangled moans also filling the cave.
He latched his mouth onto the perky pebbles, watching them bounce with each thrust when he withdrew until he pulled out; taking the sweet note of a whined protest for him not to stop before turning her around.
The two extra set of hands pulled her back flush against his chest, getting two nice handfuls of the lovely breasts before resuming his thrusts as he held up her by the thighs once again.
The sex was intense, her spot was struck relentlessly and she was crying his name out in pleasure; the brute chuckled from time to time with a small grin from these sensations before gripping the woman to his chest tighter.
The woman opened her mouth in a silent scream when she reached her peak yet again, the brute growling like an animal as he obtained his own…filling the woman up with his seed and making sure she took it nice and deep when he did….her tiny whimpers were proof enough she enjoyed it.
The woman knew full well her back was going to be so sore the next day as they finally collapsed onto the bedding for much needed sleep; hopefully for the time to come living with him it'll all work out...if anything the sex was nothing to complain about.
*In the beginning it was very difficult to adjust to living in the wild; doing almost everything the primitive way. Some things weren't so bad but food...let's just say the first time Skekmal threw his kill in front of her and handed her a blade...she knew she was going to have issues with him.
Never in her life has she ever gutted an animal, much less cook any meat over a fire aside from hot-dogs. Granted he was willing going to show her, but the woman almost threw up and that didn't change for a while.
The Hunter wanted his new mate to be able to do her part, but safe to say he didn't have the patience to teach her anything so he decided it would be best for her to learn from the closest Podling village.
"I don't speak Podling." "You'll learn. I'll come for you at sunset."
That's how she lived for the next month; just thrown to the wolves so to speak. At least the Podlings were kind and patient to teach her once they understood that's why she was there. Each slowly getting an idea of what the other meant when talking.
Then things began to get easier for the woman. She still had a long way to go but for the time being she managed to adjust. Like clockwork the Hunter came to get her everyday at sunset, led her home, and the whole process kept going. He never stayed at home long due to his nature but by the evening he was with her.
As the second month was almost over the woman began to notice her dresses getting tighter, that's when things were to get awkward and hectic.
I forgot all about my period...shit...shit...what do I do!? Why am I even showing this soon!? I thought women didn't show until maybe 3 to 4 months.
The Podlings were the first to know exactly what was going on and celebrated unlike her. She was scared more than anything and there was no telling what the Hunter would do. He glanced at her stomach once but never did anything out of the ordinary that she could tell.
As soon as they returned home one day, she was literally about to open her mouth and tell him when he snapped, "You're to never leave here. No one is to see you."
Her eyes widened but kept her composure, "So you know I take it." He paced back and forth angrily, "I never thought this possible."
"Neither did I but I can't stay hidden forever."
"You don't seem to understand what's in store for you. Once the other Skeksis get wind of this I'll have to deal with them trying to steal you from me despite our agreement. You're to stay here and that's final!"
The woman snapped back, "I will NOT stay trapped inside a cave! What will you do when the baby gets here huh!? Raise it inside the cave in fear someone will see it!?"
She was pushing her luck and she knew it, they both were angry and not sure how to handle the situation.
"Look, the only ones around here are the Podlings and I doubt they'll tell the Skeksis. They don't seem to be interested in letting anyone know."
"Word travels human, soon a Gelfling will get wind of it and then it'll be reported."
"You're impossible!"
*The tension between them lingered for days, she refused to go back with him and stayed with the Podlings for a while. She wanted to be happy about having a baby but it seemed hopeless.
After a couple of weeks passed they did get back on speaking terms but they had to have a long talk first before she would go back to him.
"Skekmal, I understand what you're saying but hiding me away is no different than what they were doing with me to begin with. I don't want to be kept a prisoner...is that so much to ask?"
He merely sighed and gave a small nod, he now understood where she was coming from and almost regretted not realizing it sooner.
"Is it mine?"
The woman gawked at him but laughed none the less, "Of course it's yours! He didn't finish inside unlike you~"
That earned a glare but also a hidden smirk all the same; they were definitely on good terms again. She was still worried about the whole thing but then again who wouldn't. Mainly it's due to how quickly she kept getting bigger.
One day she plucked up the courage to say, "Something's wrong." As soon as the words left her mouth she immediately regretted it and panicked when the Hunter scooped her up and begin to run off with her, "Woah! Woah! I don't mean the baby's coming!"
"WHAT!?"
She NEVER heard him yell before and left her so stunned she barely managed to squeak, "I worded it wrong..." He kept silent and actually waited this time for her to continue. "I meant, my kind doesn't get this big so quick. It takes 9-10 months to have a baby. I'm showing really early and it's not normal, at this rate I may have it real soon."
Skekmal was in deep thought on this matter for he was unsure as well, but he never answered her question nor spoke anymore of it.
Sheesh, if he doesn't know the answer it wouldn't kill him to say it...typical guy.
She didn't bother asking about it anymore and had no choice but to go along with it anyway; he seemed content with the idea of having an offspring at least but baby names were fun.
"Skekrida? No, we're not having a playoff with our names." "It'll be a Skeksis so it's going to have its heritage name Farida." "Half Skeksis and half human don't forget...oh I know. We can have both. A name with that and a separate human name."
"Explain." "Like for instance if it's a girl, her name will be Abigail but her Skeksis name would be Skekgail. So both names are combined."
Luckily for her that pleased them both and everything seemed to get better again; that is...until the third month was almost over and the Hunter seemed to be more of in a bad mood. Especially with her food cravings and mood swings.
"It's so difficult to live with him...let alone talk in general."
Having said it aloud she felt like he resented her now for some reason; was it the hormones or just depression...she couldn't tell yet.
*Despite the lectures from her husband; today was the day she wanted to journey to the large tree with pink blooms on it, the Podlings called it the 'Sanctuary Tree'. It took longer than expected to get there but when she did she had to sit down.
"That was a long walk."
The scenery from this spot was lovely, but just when she almost began to relax more a calm deep voice spoke.
"I've been wondering when you would appear childling."
Judging from his voice he wasn't a threat and merely glanced at this unknown creature, "You know me?" "How could one not hear of you?"
She nodded to herself, "True...he hates me." It was so random and out of the blue it took the stranger by surprise, "Nonsense." "It's true! I don't understand how his mind works. He's the one that claimed me and I gave in so what's the problem!? It seemed great at first, then it sucked, then it got good again, and I wasn't expecting any romance from him...why in hell am I telling...you..."
He arched a brow curiously since she stopped and stared intently at him. Tilting her head slightly she asked softly, "Why do I feel like I know you?"
"I'm the Archer...the Hunter's other half."
"You're his brother?"
That remark earned a small chuckle, "No, the Skeksis and the Mystics such as myself were once one entity until we separated into two halves. It's strange you off all creatures would notice we're linked."
"So you're good and evil basically."
He nodded as she continued, "You can't read each other's mind can you? That would really help right now."
"I'm afraid not, we're linked but still our own individual. Try not to be so cross with him."
"Why shouldn't I?"
"Harboring feelings or even an attachment for any creature is something the Skeksis shouldn't even be able to comprehend. Especially one such as Skekmal."
She let out a heavy sigh, "I should've already known that already, but then again I'm not very observant. I'm just scared about having this baby alone."
"I cannot say what Skekmal will do when the times comes, but know this, you're not alone. If you ever need help, don't hesitate to send for me."
She smiled a bit and murmured, "Thank you Archer."
He knew she was worried about something else but he didn't want to pressure her. "I guess I better get going so I can get back by sunset. I know there's a lecture waiting for me."
"Farewell childling, we'll meet again."
*By dawn the Archer waited patiently for he knew his other half was coming.
"Don't meddle in my affairs Archer."
The Archer replied calmly, "I merely spoke with your mate Skekmal, she came here on her own free will as you recall."
"That may be, but don't fill her head with any nonsense!"
"She's frightened and feels like you may not be there in her time of need. Have you even considered that she may not survive this?"
"She's strong."
"You know as well as I that doesn't change anything if there are complications. Only Thra knows why Farida was even able to conceive an offspring with one of our kind."
"Do. Not. Speak her name."
The Archer sighed and shook his head, "It's her name is it not? She can't be kept being referred to as 'the human'. Be that as it may, you know the dangers of what's to come correct? If the child and Farida survives."
"Of course I know."
"Hunter, if you care for Farida and your offspring's safety allow me to take them into hiding with the Mystics." "Never!"
"Skekmal, be reasonable. She will be made to suffer if the other Skeksis find out...she'll be forced to breed and keep producing until she dies no doubt. She'll be safe with us and I'll treat the child like my own."
Skekmal growled low and threateningly, "And treat my wife like your own no doubt." "I wasn't implying that..."
"I will easily kill anything that stands in my way. She's staying with me."
The Archer could only hang his head as the Hunter left and sadly murmur, "I can only hope it all goes well..for your sake."
