I covered my legs and stomach with the usual brown wraps before wrapping my stomach and chest and then my arms and neck. I then pulled my brown robes over my body and then my head. As I did this, I could hear arguing coming from outside my tent.
"We can't understand you!" Solon snapped with frustration. Captain Draco and his group of men had arrived to escort me to Argos as was their regular routine. However, it seemed this time Sheikh Suleiman was not backing down from his demand. I turned and slowly stepped out of my tent, my entire body covered except for my face. Sheikh Suleiman and the other Djinn were on one side and Solon was on the other with other soldiers behind him just watching in curiosity. Draco finally glanced over at me, and I glanced his way to see him nod at me in greeting. I gave a gentle nod before walking up to the two men now, looking up to the sky almost to look at Sheikh Suleiman.
"What is the matter?" I asked in Djinn language. Sheikh Suleiman looked down at me.
"For an entire year, you have journeyed to Argos along without our protection. The gods have left us a sign in anger for this. We can feel our magic slowly depleting, our limbs slowly turning to ash because of our failure. No more! Either I go with you to Argos or you will remain here!" he snapped placing his staff firmly in the ground. I looked down at his words now feeling the anger radiating from his body and into mine. I glanced over at Draco who watched with deep eyes.
"Well what he say?" Solon asked. I looked up at him now.
"The Gods seem to be angry with the Djinn for allowing me to leave to Argos without one of them present for protection. Their magic is dying. The only way to keep their powers and appease the Gods is for Sheikh Suleiman to accompany me." I replied. Solon shook his head immediately with Draco moving to stand next to his comrade.
"Priestess, you know the rules. King Cepheus has strictly demanded that no Djinn may step foot in Argos." he replied in a light negotiating tone. I stared up at him for a moment thinking of his words. I know the Djinn and Argos have been to war once. Sheikh Suleiman has told me many stories about the war. I looked up at my protector now who just looked on at the men with a light growl. His instructions were clear, and I would not disobey. I looked at Draco and his men.
"Then I may not step foot in Argos." I replied lightly. Solon looked at me stunned while Draco leaned back and looked at me with disappointment.
"What? But we need you to come back to Argos. Weathering clouds have been crossing over the land we need to know if the Gods are angry with us." Solon replied and I just stepped close to Sheikh Suleiman who looked down at me with a nod.
"I am sorry gentleman, but I cannot leave if Sheikh Suleiman cannot accompany me. These are orders of the Gods." I replied. Solon huffed looking at Draco who stared at me with hidden intent before nodding some.
"If that is the priestess's wish. We will return to Argos without her." he said to his men. They didn't look very happy. They had traveled all the way to the desert for nothing. I looked up at Sheikh Suleiman.
"The men will leave without me. Let them at least stay the night and we give them food and water for their travel home?" I asked and he huffed defiantly. I raised my hand and slowly curled my fingers into his. Slowly his four fingers wrapped around mine. His hardened stare softened upon seeing me smile. He then turned with a growl and left with the other Djinn. I looked at the men and then Draco walking up to him. I could see the disappointment in his eyes from having to travel all the way here for nothing.
"You may stay the night. Food and water will be given along with enough provisions to last your journey home. It is your choice." I replied before turning and heading off to follow the other Djinn.
The moon was finally high in the sky. The heat is dying down to a beautiful warm that was just right to me. I was only the wrap that covered my hips and chest. One of the Djinn informed me that the soldiers decided to take us up on our generous offer. I was taking down my hair. Usually I would have it in three vertical buns that made it easier to handle when traveling, but since I wasn't traveling there was no point keeping them up. I released the back, then middle, then top. As I combed my fingers through my hair, I started to wonder if I myself was angering Zeus by not going to Argos to send his message.
He wanted me to spread his word, and he wanted the Djinn to follow me there. So it seemed King Cepheus would need to allow the Djinn passage into the city.
"Priestess… may I enter?" I hear Draco's gravel like tone from outside the tent. I looked down some in thought on if I should let him enter. Sheikh Suleiman did not like anyone disturbing me at night, not even the other Djinn were allowed in here after a certain hour.
"Yes." I replied quietly and the flaps of the tent leaned in as he entered. I turned and face him. He didn't have his armor on, not even a single weapon was attached to him. Was he comfortable being in the camp?
"You used to walk around with your weapons. You didn't trust us. But not tonight?" I asked. He shook his head slowly.
"I have no reason to distrust you." he said as he approached me calmly. I looked him over some before finally our eyes meeting as he stood above me. "I need you to come to Argos with us tomorrow." My jaw tightened at his words.
"You heard Sheikh Suleiman. I cannot leave if the Djinn cannot come with me." I said turning to move over to the large wooden stand I had that had my valuables on them. Jewels and bracelets from citizens of Argos, dresses woven from the finest silks.
"But you were not made to serve the Djinn, you were made to be a messenger of Zeus." he argued. I stiffened some at his words turning to face him now.
"The Djinn raised me. If they are hurting, I am hurting. If your king will let them come to Argos then this would not be a problem." I said turning to walk past him. He caught my forearm in his firm hold and I my body swung into him a bit as he turned to meet my stare again. He was always so serious, never one to smile or show genuine happiness toward anything.
"Let me convince you?" he asked in a lowered tone. Immediately, my body vibrated at his words and I looked away.
"Don't do that." I said, pulling my arm from his hold and turning so my back was to him.
"Do what?" he asked with innocent curiosity.
"Look at me like that." I replied quickly feeling my body shift and change from just the thought of his powerful gaze. I feel his fingers gently starting to slide up my arms. Immediately I was shivering from the soft touches. My skin as not use to this. "We can't do it again."
I finally feel his lips at my ear, his breath alone causing me to gasp as his hands now rubbed my shoulders.
"Do what?" he asked lowly still innocently, his teeth gently biting down on my lobe. My lips quivered some.
"You know what." I replied moving forward to leave his hold, but his hands grip my shoulders, not hard, but enough that when he pulls my body back to his, I am immediately still.
"Why deny something your body wants, that you want?" he asked, and I can feel it, his manhood gently pressing into my bottom. I try to take even breaths.
"Because now is not the time to talk about such things." I said turning to face him with serious eyes, but the second I turned, we were so close, his eyes trapping me, hypnotizing me.
"We have all night to discuss such things." he said lowly. My heart was pounding hard in my chest and his eyes closed just a bit as he finally leaned in and captured my lips. I melted in his hold, his warm lips bringing me to life. My hands raised to hold onto his lean arms. We finally raised our hand to wrap around each other's bodies. His touches made me feel different, made me feel good, a different kind of good. My hands moved to touch his tunic and I wanted to feel his flesh. Clothes were such trivial and annoying things. I liked skin on skin contact. It made the connection between me and the other creature so much more intense. Our lips tore away from each other for just a moment so that he could slowly remove his clothes. I watched as each article of clothing fell to the floor revealing more and more of his body to me. As he did this, I couldn't help but unpin the sash around my chest and as my skin was exposed to him, his chest rose with his visible gasp.
He came in to kiss me again and once I responded, I felt his hands reaching down to grip my bottom and hoist me up into the air. I held onto him, my legs wrapping around him immediately as he walked me over to the large bedding of blankets and pillows. He dropped to his knees and slowly lied me down onto the blankets. He leaned back and looked down at me gazing all over my body. He removed the rest of his clothes, and as he did this, I looked at his chest and arms how there was scarring from the different battles he was in. I always loved looking at them. I sat up and he stilled for a bit watching as I explored his chest.
"Your body, your flesh tells a story of great tragedy and bravery." I said letting my fingertips outline a long scar over his ribcage. There was another scar over his chest. I tilted my head. It was not there the last time had seen him.
"When did this happen?" I asked. He looked down at his chest.
"Fighting off some raiders on our journey from the desert months ago." he said. I tilted my head leaning in closer to him.
"It must have been terrifying." I said feeling how smooth the scar was now.
"You should see the other man." he said, his hand wrapping around mine and he silenced my curiosities with his lips again. We fell back into the blankets together, my hands lifting to unclip the silver pins in his hair that kept his hair twisted and separated in their usual warrior style. As each pin fell, his hair unraveled and hung off his shoulders.
His hand found my breasts massaging them gently, his thumbs rolling around my nipples causing the stimulation to grow inside me. I gasped at the feeling and felt his tongue move right inside finding my own. I let out a moan of absolute bliss. I feel one of his hands sliding down my hip and over my thigh gently squeezing them. I slowly spread my legs for him, and he settles between me. His lips trailed down my cheek sending soft shivers all over my body. My eyes were glazed over as I stared at the top of the tent. I suddenly feel him pushing himself inside me and I gasped loudly shutting my eyes now as I felt my walls being stretched and full. I released a whimper just seconds before he groaned deep in my ear. We had only done this once before and I had never felt such pain in my life.
I turned my face away wishing I had known more about sex and what it all entailed. But I do not and so I was forced to learn on my own, forced to figure out the feelings and sensations that came with the motions. I feel Draco's hips sliding back and then pushing back into me. I cried out gently feeling his hand cover my mouth. We heard heavy footsteps, and both paused for a moment as we heard the heavy footstep of two Djinn walking by the tent. They were speaking of ancient magic as they passed by. Draco suddenly pushed right into me just seconds after their chattering disappeared causing another cry to escape me. I panted heavily feeling him begin his thrusting once more. More and more grunts and primal noises escaped Draco's lips as he became completely overtaken by what I could only assume was pleasure. I gripped his shoulders, my head falling back.
My mind was completely overtaken by the feelings that were moving back and forth inside my vagina. The burning pain was still coming but thrust after thrust, the burns weren't as severe or fierce. It was starting to calm down. I sighed with relief feeling one certain push that made a burst of pleasure explode inside my vagina and my legs locked around his legs in response.
"What was that, what did you do?" I asked gripping his shoulders as he kept thrusting harder and harder. I wasn't sure if I saw him smirking or not.
"A sweet spot inside your body that makes you feel very good. And now I have found it." he panted and started to thrust harder and faster, the tip of him reaching for that spot. And he found it over and over again. I cried out more feeling my walls tightening around him from this unexplainable pleasure. What magic did this sweet spot hold? I was about to find out right now. The pleasure increased inside me and everything was ringing all over my body. I gripped his shoulder tighter and harder. I was so close, so close to exploding with unbelievable pleasure that the feeling still frightened me like the first time. I cried out loudly, my body shaking hard as nonstop pleasure just hits my body.
Draco kept thrusting wildly inside me, causing my insides to be so sensitive. After one final push he grunts hard pressing his forehead into mine and shivering hard. His muscles tighten and he shivers hard as he pants heavily like a rapid dog. He's emptying all of himself inside me. I can feel it. He almost collapses on me and rolls off me, his back sweating at it hits my blankets. We are both gently panting now, our bodies coming down from the heightened sensations. But even as my eyes were clouded from lust, I slowly sat up moving to cover up my chest now. I looked back at him with regretful eyes and he saw it.
"You still will not come back with me." he said. I shook my head slowly. He then sat up himself looking ahead some with thought. I wondered what it was he was thinking. He took in a breath before nodding slowly and looking at me.
"Okay. Only one of the Djinn can come to Argos." he said. I slowly smiled and nodded in thanks.
