Chapter 15
After a few minutes of panic, Lex and Pete quickly came up with a plan.. Look in the tepees. Pete and Lois's tepee was closes so they went there first. When there was no sign of the girls they headed to Lex and Chloe's tepee. That's where they were.
Lois was helping Chloe unpack the baskets, and they were ohhing and awhing over the (now dried) flower petals that had been scattered around the night before by some of the other women in the village. Chloe hadn't even noticed when she and Lex had come in and gone to sleep.
Lex and Pete traded looks before sprawling out on the fur covered floor, watching Lois and Chloe with smiles. Chloe and Lois giggled at how the men looked like little boys, but continued to unpack. The new pots, pans, and food baskets were set up at a close but safe distance from the fire. The old blankets were folded and stacked near the sleeping mat, the new ones spread over it with the soft pillows tucked beneath. Chloe's new clothes were unpacked, re-folded and put into flat square baskets near Lex's smaller single basket. The other random things that Lex had given her as gifts at the Lang village, as well as some of the things that had been too much to bring were put into their proper places.
When they were done Lois and sat down and chattered, while Lex and Pete talked between themselves. Lex sighed heavily when he noted that the sun was again sinking below the horizon.. Days seemed too short with Chloe here. Pete glanced at him when Lex sighed. Seeing the expression on his face, Pete chuckled and told Lois it was time to go. Pulling Lois into his arms with a smile, he nodded to Lex, who smiled gratefully, and they both left with fond farewells.
Once they were gone Lex sat down behind Chloe, who was serving dinner onto the flat plates. Taking the food out of her hands he set it aside and pulled her back into his chest. Chloe giggled and turned her face to his. He kissed her with a smile that reminded Chloe of a child going after sugar-bread. Laughing again when he reinforced the image by biting and nibbling at her neck she pushed him away playfully.
"We have to eat before it gets cold Lex.." She smirked rolling her eyes when he scowled and looked at the sleeping area meaningfully. Chloe picked up her plate and began to eat. Lex on the other hand got a thoughtful look on his face, and Chloe was worried for a few moments, before he picked up his plate and sat down next to her, eating.
When she had finished and was about to stand and put her plate away, Lex stopped her with a hand on her thigh. Settling on his belly facing her, he dipped a finger into the gravy and dragged a smear across her thigh. Setting his plate aside he pressed his mouth to the tasty line, licking and kissing it clean. When he was done, Chloe was shivering and panting lightly. Lex grinned and pounced on her, rolling her beneath him easily, spreading her legs and shifting his loincloth to the side. Rubbing against her he gripped her face between his hands.
He sank into her with a quick thrust, his hands holding her, his eyes locked on hers as he quickly increased the pace and pressure. Soon he was slamming into her roughly, feeling her cry out his name and tightening her thighs, his tempo broke, and he began to move erratically. When Chloe's eyes closed and she arched under him, he gasped, spilling himself inside her. His body slumped against hers shuddering while her body still clenched and quivered in the aftermath beneath him.
Lex noticed Chloe closing her eyes again, this time in a sleepy way, and he smiled. It was always good to know you could wear your woman out. Kissing her cheek, he reluctantly slipped away from her body. When she whimpered he patted her cheek softly, pulling back the blankets. Urging her to sit up, he pulled her clothes from her body, then his own, and they both lay down in their bed. Smiling as the little blonde snuggled against him under the blankets, Lex mentally cheered.
He was finally content. He had her where she belonged. Next to him.
