The contrast of the heat given off of their body was so extreme Terra could almost forget that there was a snow storm going outside. She couldn't bring herself fight against the warmth. She lifted her hand to stroke his hair and she was caught off guard as his other hand moved quickly and pinned her hand over her head. She gasped from the surprise of his speed. It wasn't a surprise of his speed, he had proven that many times before, it was more like the fact he had the gull to subdue her in any fashion.

"If I let you touch me now, I would surely lose control," he whispered in-between strokes of his tongue on the base of her neck. "I want you to feel the torment that you cause me every day." His knee moved past her inner thigh and was now pressed between her legs so that now any motion she made, she would be rubbing against him.

Terra attempted to shift away from his knee anyway but simply found herself gasping a moment later as his knee simply followed with her movement and the rubbing caused a warm sensation to flare up. She was in awe of the fact that she would react to him. She never remembered feeling this kind of craving before. "Am I suppose to simply just take this…" she paused to think of the right word, "punishment?"

"Oh but this is such a pleasant punishment," Farkas nipped at her ear lobe again. "I mean one night of this versus days, weeks and months that I have suffered through. You have haunted me constantly, from day to night and night to day. You are the leader of our group so I see you during the day, there is no escape there but I thought I could get relief at night in my dreams but you seem to have taken that over as well. You do things there that would make a expert concubine blush. Oh, yes that is my imagination of you, but you surpassed our expectation as a simple member but you took the reigns and led us to a new era of being able to chose if one wants the gift or curse they want." He was stroking her arm with his free hand as he spoke.

Terra shivered as he touched her. She had not known that he thought on any of the events that had happened to them all, but here he was explaining in depth his emotions. She tried again to push some space between them and she let out almost inaudible yelp as she felt Farkas nip the area between her should and neck hard. She wanted to rub the area that was in pain but with her being pinned there was no chance of that.

Farkas licked the spot he just nipped and growled, "I told you to take your punishment gracefully." His free hand went to somewhere low where Terra couldn't see unless she lifted her head and after the nip she thought better of moving. He allowed his hand to brush against the inner spot of her thigh as he seemed to be working something out of his pocket. "Here we are. This should help to keep you under control, plus this frees up both my hands," he eyed the material that he help up for Terra to see, it looked rather expensive but it wasn't just material Terra noticed there were designs. The material was twisted into a kind of rope, she had never seen before. "Looks interesting doesn't it, didn't know about this myself till I did some work on a rescue and the man I was saving was extremely … experienced in much. He explained and showed me a few things that were different but all the women around him when he was away raved about the enjoyment they had after he had shown them this new way."

Terra eyed him warily, "Why would this help with me?"

"Because you are not one to run, but you would rather fight," he had began twining the material around her wrists, "Plus you won't be able to help moving once I start and we can't have that. I have good control over myself but I have wanted you so much and for far too long that I might not be able to control my transformation when I have gotten to the breaking point." When he was finished tying the material he moved from her.

Terra saw a mischievous grin appear on his face and he disappeared out of her view but felt material as it was wound around each ankle. She shifted for a moment and when she heard him growl she stopped. She tested the material. It was soft but as she moved her wrists it would tighten a little with each movement. She would just have to trust he knew what he was doing.

The thought flashed in her mind and was was taken back to the first few time that she had slept with someone. It had been wicked, tired and lacking any hype that everyone had spoken of. Now before her was this man and not only was he taking in the enjoyment, but he seemed to try and make sure she was enjoying it as well. Was she enjoying this? He had left her aroused before so what was this about. She jolted from her thoughts as Farkas ran his fingers down one of her feet causing her to try and move away from the tickled feeling. She hadn't feel been able to move her feet much she realized and she lifted her head and looked down to see her legs were tied at the ankles. The material linked between her feet but there was only enough material to allow her to spread her legs a little or move her legs independent of each other for comfort nothing more. Apparently it allowed him to hold the material a specific ways and she wouldn't able to pull away from him.

"Good, you didn't try to get up or really fight back. I was worried with your wound even if it is mostly healed up it could still cause problems," he got up slowly and stretched before her. He watched her as he began removing his clothing. His physique was almost god-like, he wasn't flabby anywhere. This surprised Terra as he was often see drinking. She thought he would have at least a little tummy, but as she stared at his form that was outline by the glow of the fire he was practically perfect. "Like this scene?" he grinned at her, but she turned bright red realizing what he had actually meant. "Now the problem is you are not naked….pity I liked that gown, it makes you look like a a damsel in distress." He bent down and came back up with a blade, "Well I could just get you a new one later on…"

Terra gasped as the cold metal touched her flesh. She didn't dare move in fear that she could be cut by the knife. She could only stare at him as he started at the bottom of the gown and ran the blade sharp side up to slice the material with easy. Her gown gave way to the sharp blade and he worked his way up careful not to hurt her. When finished he had cut away all the material including her sleeves there was nothing that could hide any of her. She fought to not shiver as she was nude and it was visible for him to see.

"Not to worry, you'll be warm soon," he ran his hands up both her legs and when the reach the point of her body they worked up her contours. His eyes danced with joy as he worked his way up her body. When he reached her tied wrists, she felt him tug gently to test the knot. With an abrupt movement he had picked her up and moved her to the center of the bed but taken the extra material that was from the wrist tie and knotted it to the bed post.

"What is this?" she felt a surge of panic.

"This is to prevent you from trying to end this session too early," he stroked her hair gently as he moved past her.

Terra glared at him for a moment but cocked her head to one side when she realized that he had not positioned himself over her like the other men had. As she watched, she noticed that he put the material that tied her ankles under his knees but he had not positioned himself to penetrate her. "Shouldn't you be between my legs?" she felt vulgar for saying it but that was simply the fact that she knew.

"If that had been my first target then yes I am far from where I need to be, but…" he stopped talking as he slid his hands over her hips and waist then back down. He placed one hand under her buttocks and the other was just sitting on her abdomen. He moved his face between her legs and suddenly she felt him lap her inner thigh. He shifted a moment and peeked over her to see her face.

Terra was horrified, "No….I am surely disgusting… please…." She tried to figure out what he was doing. She hadn't seen anyone do this before and suddenly her unsureness washed away and she felt his tongue plunge into her. She felt her hips move to the rhythm he was creating with his tongue. She felt a moan escape as he worked her slowly and she felt herself arch and purr. A gasped slipped past her lips as she suddenly felt his fingers enter and shift and move around, probing her.

"So, this is a good reaction from this," he was focused on her but as she wriggled under his touch she could hear him chuckle, "I assume working you this way has never happened before." He moved over her, leaving his hand where it was while he moved his body against her and groped his way up. "You are so much more…" Farkas huffed a moment and grinned, "Here is my everything, laid before me like a feast. What part to enjoy next…" his other hand had moved from under her and now massaging different parts of her body. He was making sure to stimulate her on several levels and did not allow her to feel relief. As soon as he thought she might be on the edge, he would move to another part and start working on her.

Terra was confused to what he was doing to her, he had told her that this was punishment but it simply was pure pleasure. She had never known that the act that she had just take for granted was just an act of one sided attraction was actually possible for both sides to enjoy. She wanted to give him what he was giving her but as she tugged against the material it tightened and prevented any movement. "Why would you do this to me?" she asked as she tried tugging at the material.

"Why?" he stared at her and took a breath as he pulled away from her. "You …." he struggled as he watched her wiggle.

Terra let out a cry as she was suddenly picked up and turned over. She felt shame cross her face as she felt Farkas tracing her back. She had not told anything of her past but she had been sure to hide it. He was tracing the whip scars on her back and she let out a breath.

"You have these scars and you are not familiar with your own body's abilities to own pleasure and you ask me why?" he laid kisses on each scar that he had touched. "You have used yourself to save others and yet you derive no pleasure from simply being alive. You give everyone else what they want and yet you never take. I am giving you something that you should have received long ago."

He began shifted Terra into a position, her knees where now under her but he held her hip on the side the wound was. She couldn't really prop herself up with her hands tied but she could lean on her elbows. He began working his fingers again between her legs and she could fell herself getting excited. He was simply attending to her needs and as she felt herself quiver a moment she felt her body relax.

"Good, that is wonderful, ready for me now," he said as he moved off the bed over to his pack on the floor. He grabbed something had been wrapped in a cloth of sorts. He pulled out an odd shaped clump but soon unrolled it and slid it over his protruding member. He noticed Terra staring at him in curiosity. "It is to prevent any unwanted accidents for us," he explained as he returned to the bed and gave her exposed posterior a hard slap.

Terra instead of yelping let out a moan, it wasn't painful at all there was something in the way that he had hit her that was meant with care instead of force. She was lost in what was happening until she suddenly felt him enter her.

Farkas let out a heavy growl, "I knew I wasn't a first for you but I would have thought you would have been more worked then this…" He moved slowly against her, "You truly are surprising to me." His hand held her hips up a little above the bed, resting her weight on her elbows. He was making sure not to aggravate the healing wound. "I mean there are plenty of people who would want to spend the night with you and yet you are sooo…" he let out a heavy breath as he pressed against her.

Terra couldn't answer back she was lost in her own cries of enjoyment with each thrust. She was completely defeated by the man. He had tamed her in a way but if it was where no one could see her that would be okay, right? She felt the rhythm heighten as he changed pace and moved harder against their bodies.

"Oh…no ….you ….don't…." he panted as he pulled away from her. "You haven't reached the ecstasy that I have wanted to make you reach yet." He shifted and was laying next to her.

Terra stared him in the eyes and could see the beast reflecting in them but he was still human. He grinned at her as he picked her up with easy and placed on his stomach. She leaned onto his chest and kissed him softly but the softness disappeared as he slipped his tongue between her lips. She answered him back, when something hit her hard with realization, there was no mead on his breath. He had left for a time to drink he said but there was no taste of alcohol. She pulled away from him and stared, "Why?"

"You noticed," he smiled at her and shifted a moment, "If I had continued there would have been no way for me to control the transformation. I left for a time to walk outside in the blizzard. I needed to cool down and you needed to feel the need." He was brushing his fingers against her as he explained and she shivered with every touch. "This could be made more pleasant if you would simply accept the offer that I brought before you."

"Offer?" Terra thought back to all the events that happened and felt all her breath leave her body at once. When the man had tried to accuse Farkas of keeping his wife away, he had brought the man in and said, "No she is mine…" She stared him in the eyes, "It hadn't really been an offer more a proclamation of what you believe to be fact."

"Take it for what I know, don't wear the amulet and be mine," he had been shifted Terra over him and with that last word pushed her down into him.

Terra's back straightened suddenly as she felt him inside of her. Her ankles being tied so there was no way to move against him. The fact that his hands were holding her as he moved her up and down there really was no way to escape him. She thought about, did she really want to leave in the mist of this. He was giving her more then she had ever had and more. She was in all honesty enjoying this time and the teasing. He made her crave more and she wanted it. She stared at him, his body, his hand, and his eyes, those deep and passion filled eyes. He simply wanted her.

"Farkas…" she whispered his name and she felt him shiver under her.

"Terra, what is it I have to do to prove what I want is you," he slammed her hard into him and she let out a cry.

The cry that Terra let out was a deep and primal cry. She hadn't even been able to control it. Her body convulsed with sheer pleasure as she released herself. She felt a slight exhaustion as she felt herself spend but he was still going against her.

Farkas picked her up again this time laying her down facing him and placed himself between her legs. "You know, unlike me who is spent when I release you can continue for a time," he placed his hands under her hips and plunged into her. "You are so beautiful… deadly …and sweet. Your scent has covered everything else. I can only smell you…taste you…think of you. You have made me drunk on you and there is no sleeping that off." He worked her hard.

Terra felt sore but good. The last thing she remembered was his smiling face as he laid beside her when he was done and he ran his fingers through her hair. He whispered sweet words and thoughts he had of her.

She got up in the morning, washed herself because she knew she most likely needed it and dressed. She didn't feel the soreness of her leg though other places made her walk with a bit of a limp and went to get them breakfast.

The innkeeper was grinning at her as she came to order, "Good storm last night. I doubt many got sleep." He winked at her as he handed her the breakfast and went back to work.

Terra turned bright red but thanked him for the food and returned to the room.

Farkas was washing at the basin. He grinned at her as she came in and set the food for them. "Good morning, we'll leave today as it seems everything has finished and it is a few days travel with our cart."

"Cart?" Terra said as she looked up from her meal.

"I went back to the dragon, got what I could and loaded a cart full," he explained as he finished and came to the table to eat. "I had the butcher dry the meat and the blacksmith make leather of the hide. We can take it back and you can work on your crafting." He stopped to eat.

The journey home was uneventful for Terra but that was a good thing because this allowed her to fully recover from the night of passion and her injury. It was when they returned the group was glad to see them and the goods that they brought back but there was a unspoken friction between several of the Companions.

Vilkas eyed Farkas a moment when they had returned and leaned in to talk. Terra had been a bit too close for them to talk in secret but that didn't seem to stop the conversation.

Vilkas smiled but suddenly frowned, "Your scent is different… was the hunt truly successful."

"Oh yes, it was great. The danger was expected and it did take the Harbinger time to recover but you see she is as good as ever," Farkas pointed over at Terra. "Everything is great." He did not seem to want to give his brother any clue on the events that happened between him and Terra.

"No, there is more," Vilkas eyed him. "i will get it later from you." He seemed to not be pleased with the explanation given to him. Not that Terra could blame him, their senses were attuned and everything that was going on should have made him wary.

Farkas grinned dumbly at his brother and nodded, "Of course, you can."

Terra was worried for a moment but her attention was drawn away when Aela slapped her on the back, "You did well for us! The hunt was good." The woman archer was content with the success of everything and stopped as she looked at Terra a moment, "You smell different friend did something happen?"

Terra raised a brow at the woman and chuckled, "It did but nothing to worry about. I figure with all the magic and healing I did that would change my scent for a time." Terra patted Aela back and was grabbing her back with the amulet fell from the pocket of the pack. Terra snatched it quickly and placed it in her pocket.

Aela's eyes widened, "An amulet of Mara? so that means…" she went to get closer to Terra but was stopped by Farkas who now stood before her.

"It isn't what it seems Aela, she needed it when she saved me from the dragon," Farkas grabbed the pack from Terra and walked away.

Terra's jaw dropped in awe of what he had just done. Aela was staring at the man as well.

"He has gotten bolder since the trip, I wonder," Aela said as she looked over Terra but said nothing more to her Harbinger.

Vilkas took Terra's wrist, "I want to talk to you."

Terra smiled, "Okay…" She sensed that arguing with him wasn't the smartest thing to do especially in front of all the followers that had been gathered in the grand hall.

Vilkas dragged her down to the bunks and rooms. She was slightly worried when they stopped in front of the hall with Farkas and his rooms. "We need to talk in private," he said as he guided her in and shut the doors. "You come back in one piece," he embraced her tight and held her. "We were all worried and you brought my dumb brother back. I don't know what I could do without him," he pulled away slowly.

"It is no problem Vilkas, really you should thank your brother he saved me from dying as well," Terra was trying to move away without seeming too rude.

"Yes, of course," Vilkas took her hand, "The amulet, why else would you need that? I know of it's abilities but you can't have something like that and not answer for the rest of what it symbolizes…" he leaned in to kiss her.

Farkas broke in quickly and placed his hand before his brother, "I am taking Terra, she needs to go over a lot of the items that needs to be dispersed to the members."

Vilkas raised an eyebrow at his brother and chuckled, "I'll allow her to go in a moment. We were talking about some important things right now and I was trying…"

Farkas growled, "Vilkas, I have claimed her. She is mine."

Terra gasped, "Farkas…"

Vilkas gritted his teeth, "That would only work if she is married or if…"

Farkas glared a moment, "Or if she slept with me." He turned to Terra and lifted her hair and pulled her armor down revealing some bruising on her shoulder where he had nipped her.

Vilkas took a step back in shock, he looked as if he had been slammed into a brick wall, "You marked her…."

"I did because I knew once someone saw that amulet, there would be attempts to take her," Farkas turned his glare on Terra. "I explained there would be problems if that amulet reappeared. So what to do we do now?"

Terra stared at the brothers angrily, "It makes no difference to me. We slept together, that is all. You have not asked but simply statement I was yours. I do not work that way." She moved away from both of them. "I will chose if I marry or not. Who I "belong" to is not part of the discussion especially when I belong to no one!" She regretted the words when she said them but took a deep breath and walked away from them.

Aela was standing there, "Is it true?"

"It is, we slept together but no one asked anything of me so I will be going Aela, I have another journey that I need to complete," Terra hissed as she saw Aela's face turn sad.

"You go again?" Aela wasn't normally concerned with Terra's disappearing.

"I do, ask Farkas if you want to know why I leave so much, I give you permission to find out what it is about, but I don't expect you to be too happy when you found out what it is all about," Terra left them all standing there.

Terra didn't even pack a bag when she walked out. Maybe when she returned from her trip there would be more manners to come to the group. Werewolf or not there was no need for that reaction. She could take care of herself and she would. Terra walked out of White Run knowing she would be back soon and that they would learn their lesson maybe even ask her to do what they really wanted her to do and cure them of the curse they claim to bother them so much. She had the cure on her this whole time and none of them had asked. She would do it for them as soon as they asked, but right now they were too childish, fighting over her as a precious toy instead of a person that could lead them.

Right now, she was the dragon born and she needed to work to claim that title officially. She smiled as she turned to see the gates shut behind her. Maybe by then she would know if what her and Farkas had wasn't a one night thing and that they could make a life together. She wiped the tear away and made her way on her next journey.

Thanks everyone for reading.
