'What's wrong?'

Moiraine stopped in the middle of her indignant sentence about…what she didn't remember anymore as thoughts of the woman in front of her had vanished the rest of her diatribe away. Siuan's eyes had been half closed and she looked weary, a couple of fingers pressed to the left side of her forehead. Moiraine had been so caught up in her lecture that she had barely noticed how languid Siuan had been. Now her eyes were completely closed and she kept still, as if not moving would ebb the tension away.

'Nothing. Just a bit of a headache.'

Moiraine felt like a fool. How could she not have seen the fatigue etched across that suffering face? She strode over to kneel across on the bed, reaching out a hand to stroke the afflicted area.

'It's nothing, it'll go away soon' said Siuan, a smile ghosting her face. Her little pufferfish was oh so caring. A lot of the time it got her into trouble.

Moriaine would do anything to dispose of the wretched pain. She'd never known Siuan to have a headache before.

'I have a remedy for that.'

Siuan opened her eyes and looked narrowly at her love. Surely Moiraine hadn't brought some herbs from the healers? The headache had been brewing quickly with no warning. Moiraine took her face in her hands and lowered her slowly and gently onto the pillows. Kissed her forehead tenderly.

'I'll make you feel better.'

Siuan closed her eyes with a sigh, the light above suddenly encroaching on her. Moiraine's steady fingers travelled all the way down, easing past the fabric and through to her secret core. Only Moiraine was allowed there and there wasn't often the chance, these days. Those long strong fingers started stroking, gently at first, starting waves of warmth circling through her belly, she rubbed harder after a while, electric tingles creeping in and setting the other woman alight. Siuan moaned and shifted restlessly, hands twisted in Moiraine's dress, arching up against her in feverish delight, enjoying the weight on top of her as Moiraine masterfully played her like a violin. She thought the rushing in her head would make the pain worse but when that had dissipated, leaving her wrung out, her cunt pleasantly wet, she felt the headache recede.

Moiraine made sure that Siuan was fully satisfied before she shifted her weight slightly, making sure that she was carefully snug in their embrace. Briefly stroking her thumb over Siuan's thigh, she brought her fingers up, sucking lightly on them, wishing that they were in Siuan's mouth instead. Tonight she tasted salty. But Moiraine's work was done, the other woman's tension had eased significantly. Her hand came up to caress the sprawling raven locks, tickling Moiraine's ear.

'Well, I'm not sure I can recommend this remedy in polite company but I'm sure I can make use of it again another time.'

Moiraine heard the smile in her voice and contentment trickled through her like clear spring water. There was one thing in her life that held no doubt. The person with whom her soul could call home with.
