Chapter 40

It was late the next morning, and Bo was awake before Jane. He laid on his side with one arm wrapped around Jane's waist and he watched her sleep with a smile on his lips.

Jane's eyes were closed and she was laying partially on her back with her hand resting lightly on his arm. Bo hungrily soaked in the sight of her, a sight he had missed so terribly. His eyes roamed over the soft features of her face, Jane's full brown brows, long black eyelashes that brushed against her cheeks and her soft pink lips. Her hair was tousled around her face and a few curly strands had strayed across her forehead.

Bo continued to study her as if he was seeing her for the first time. His gaze moved downward, along the curve of her slender neck and collarbone and they landed on the scars that decorated her shoulder and chest. Bo sucked in a deep breath, trying to remain calm even though whenever he thought back to the incident it made his blood boil. Instead, Bo focused on watching Jane, and his smile grew when she began to stir.

Jane reached up and rubbed at her eye for a moment while she yawned. Then she slowly opened her eyes and smiled as she realized her view was Bo's thick chest. Her gaze traveled upwards and she was surprised to see Bo's bright blue eyes staring back at her.

"How long have you been awake?"

"Not very long," Bo responded quietly, and he reached up to brush her hair back.

His hand lingered and he gently cupped Jane's pale cheek, watching as she sighed and leaned into his touch.

"Mm," Jane mumbled. "I missed this hand."

Bo leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. His fingers wound themselves in her hair as he embraced her and Jane melted into his touch. She rubbed his chest and neck and Bo shivered when her fingers brushed along the tip of his ear.

Jane's hand traveled down as they continued kissing and she lightly prodded Bo's mouth open and slipped her tongue in, testing the waters. Bo responded eagerly and his tusks pressed firmly on either side of her mouth as their embrace deepened. He could feel her hand brushing along the side of his thigh and he moaned softly against her lips when he felt her feather soft touch on his manhood.

Jane's touch was like fire and it had an immediate effect. He clutched Jane close to him, their chests pressed against each other as he kissed her with a passion that took Jane's breath away. She continued to stroke him and she grinned when the Orc let out a small growl.

"Jane," Bo huffed breathlessly, his eyes squeezed shut. "I-I need you."

Jane shivered at his words and she sucked in a deep breath as Bo grazed his tusk along the curve of her neck and he kissed her delicate skin.

"I need you too, Bo."

Jane tipped Bo's chin up and he peered up at her with an expression that made her ache. She kissed him softly on the lips and then placed a hand on his broad shoulder and rolled the Orc onto his back.

In an instant, Jane was on top of Bo, and her warmth pressed against his manhood. She rolled her hips for a moment, enjoying the effect she had on Bo, who stared up at her with a mixture of surprise and lust.

"W-What are you doing," Bo mumbled, and his brows furrowed together. "Ohhh..."

Jane rested her hands on Bo's chest as she smiled down at him, watching as his focus became glazed over. His breathing became more labored the more she rocked her hips and his hands squeezed and rubbed her thighs.

"That feels so good."

"I'm glad," Jane responded softly, and she began to ease Bo's cock inside of her.

"Jane!"

Bo's neck arched back and he let out a gasp as he entered Jane. A ragged moan escaped his lips and his eyes shot open as he felt Jane thrusting above him. The sight of her was almost too much as she rolled her hips, her eyes closed and her head went back as she rode him. Her nails dug into his chest but it only fueled the fire within them more. Jane still couldn't believe how much he filled her and how perfectly his cock found her sweet spot without fail. It was their second time making love but it felt like the first.

"Bo," Jane moaned, and Bo watched as her soft round breasts bounced with the movement.

Within minutes Bo came. His legs stiffened and his hands tightly gripped Jane's thighs as an intense orgasm nearly knocked him out. He growled and murmured Jane's name over and over as she came as well. Jane continued to thrust after she climaxed, her thighs trembling from the intensity, and she completely milked him dry.

Jane reached up and pushed strands of her sweaty hair away from her face and she opened her eyes to see Bo looking up at her with the biggest grin.

"Jane," Bo mumbled sleepily, and his fingers roamed up her belly. "I didn't know you could couple like this."

Jane quickly leaned down and kissed Bo on the lips. She never used to think she was particularly talented when it came to love making but Bo never failed to make her feel like a million bucks.

"There's a ton of different ways you can couple," Jane replied breathlessly.

"Really? I want to do them all with you."

"Okay," Jane laughed, and she blushed at how eager Bo was. "We can do that."

Bo wrapped his arms around Jane's waist and rolled her onto her side. She giggled as his breath tickled her sweaty skin and they quickly fell asleep. The couple napped for around an hour before they got up properly, feeling hungry and in need of a bath.

After cleaning herself up Jane threw on some clothes and left the bedroom to go find something to eat while Bo worked on getting the tub filled with hot water. He felt lighter than he ever had since leaving High Hrothgar.

When Jane returned they sat at the little wooden table and hastily consumed some stew and fresh bread. They were hungrier than they thought, and when everything had been consumed Jane pulled her tunic off and took Bo's hand. Together they walked over to the tub and climbed in.

Bo let out a small growl as his body sank into the hot water. It felt good to have another bath after climbing up the mountain the day before, but it was even better now that Jane was with him. She rested back with her head against his chest and he rubbed her arms affectionately while they soaked in the tub for a long time.

"I bet you have a lot to talk about," Jane commented quietly as she rubbed his thigh beneath the surface of the water.

"Yeah. It's been... crazy, to say the least."

"I'm dying to know what all happened but we should probably wait until Lynne can hear it too."

"Probably," Bo mumbled sleepily.

His entire body was relaxed, and Jane closed her eyes for a while. She could feel Bo's fingers as he explored her lightly under the water. He trailed his fingers along her sides and then softly cupped her breasts.

"I never want to leave you again."

"I know..." Jane sighed, and she turned her head to the side. "It was difficult to be away from you."

Bo reached up and tipped Jane's chin. He moved forward, the water rippling in small waves and he kissed Jane for one long moment.

"I love you, Jane."

"I love you, Bo..." Jane whispered thickly, and they kissed again.

After soaking in the tub for a long while Bo washed Jane's hair. When she was clean Jane shifted to the other side of the tub so Bo could turn around and she also washed his hair. He leaned into her body and closed his eyes, feeling completely content as Jane's slender fingers lightly massaged his scalp.

"Your hair is getting so long," Jane commented as she ran her fingers through his thick brown locks.

"I know, it's becoming a pain."

"You could ask Lynne to cut it."

"I think I will," Bo replied thoughtfully. "It's too much trouble when I'm traveling so much."

Jane laughed. She cupped her hands and began rinsing his hair out with water.

"That's why I cut mine. It's too much work to have long hair."

"Naz's is long too. I feel like we could both use a trim."

"How was Naz?" Jane inquired curiously.

She had only seen the older Orc briefly as he embraced a sobbing Lynne and she couldn't help but smile knowing there was another couple down the hallway enjoying their time together as well.

"He was uh, good I suppose," Bo sighed. "It wasn't easy for him to be away from Lynne either. He was mostly angry over Delphine."

"Delphine... can we even trust her?"

"I don't know. I haven't made up my mind about her yet."

Jane finished rinsing Bo's hair and then they both climbed out from the tepid water and dried themselves off. Jane brushed Bo's hair for him and tied it into a loose ponytail. When they were dressed both sported a clean tunic and leather breeches, and they spent a couple of minutes making out again before Jane reluctantly pulled away.

"Should I go see what Lynne and Naz are up to?"

"Sure," Bo mumbled softly, and he nuzzled her cheek. "Hurry back."

Jane squeezed Bo's hand and then she slowly let it go and walked towards the door. She paused with her hand on the handle and gazed back at the Orc. She felt that if she left for even a minute he would disappear, but when she looked back his smiling face beamed up at her from where he was sitting. Jane smiled again and quickly left the room to go see what the other couple was up to.

Several rooms down, Lynne and Naz were enjoying a hot bath. The couple had slept until nearly mid-day and then they hungrily devoured a meal, having both skipped breakfast and burned lots of energy coupling the night before.

Naz lounged back in the tub with his arms resting lightly on the edge and Lynne leaned against him with her head against his chest. She could feel his chest rise and fall with each breath and it was the most comforting feeling in the world.

"Being away from you was one of the hardest things I've ever done," Naz growled softly, and he played with a strand of Lynne's white-blonde hair.

"It was difficult for me too. I didn't realize I'd miss you as much as I did until the days never seemed to end."

Naz wrapped his arms around Lynne's wet body and kissed her pale shoulder. Lynne sighed, a smile on her lips, and she rubbed his forearms affectionately.

"How was Jane's recovery?"

"It was good... great, even. She's gotten so strong and is so talented with conjuration that it makes my heart swell with pride."

"I'm glad you two had each other."

"Me too," Lynne laughed, and Naz squeezed her waist. "We stayed in the same bed every night since you guys left. I just couldn't sleep without somebody there. She's like a sister to me..."

There was a small knock on the door. Lynne glanced up at Naz, who simply shrugged.

"I'm not showing anything," the Orc joked.

"Come in!"

The door cracked open, and Jane's pretty little face peered through the opening. She slowly shuffled inside and shut the door behind her with a firm click.

"It warms my soft little heart to see you Naz," Jane greeted with a smile.

"Thanks, Jane. I did miss you as well."

"I missed you too. I can see you guys are relaxing... When you're done... do you wanna join Bo and me in the other room?"

"Sure," Lynne replied with a small nod.

"No rush," Jane continued hastily. "Take your time. We just wanted to wait until we were all together to go over what adventure the boys have been through."

Jane's grin was contagious, and the older couple promised to come by when they were finished bathing. Jane blew them a kiss and quickly left them alone. When she was gone, Lynne washed Naz's hair, noting that it was quite long. It hung down to his mid-back in thick brown waves.

"Bo was grumbling about his hair too the other week. It got all knotted up once but I brushed it out."

"How has Bo been?" Lynne asked softly as she ran her fingers through his hair.

Naz growled quietly, his eyes closed, and his hands rested on the Nord's thighs while he enjoyed the light massage.

"He's doing better than I thought, but It's still been a struggle. I understand, though. We have no idea who's behind the Dragons returning and I can tell it's driving him nuts."

"I'm glad you were able to go with him at least, so he didn't have to be alone in all of this."

"Me too. Now that Jane is better and can travel again he should be in better spirits."

The couple was silent for a while as Lynne worked the soap into Naz's hair. There was something on Lynne's mind but she hesitated to voice it.

"I've been... thinking about something."

She finished rinsing Naz's hair and the Orc sat up in the tub and turned to her. He still looked tired, but considerably better than when he had first appeared to her.

"Do you want to share?"

"Sort of. I mean... I don't mind sharing," Lynne responded hastily. "I haven't made up my mind yet."

Naz shifted his body so he was facing Lynne and he watched as the Nord stared down at the soapy water for a long moment, her thoughts far away.

"Jane said something to me a few weeks ago. I finally confessed to her that I used to be in the Dark Brotherhood and she couldn't have been more accepting."

"I'm glad. I knew she would be fine."

"I know," Lynne laughed, and she rubbed at her neck with a small sigh. "I was just scared. Well... she said if... if I needed to tie up any loose ends that they'd be more than capable of handling things on their own while I was gone. It got me thinking..."

"Do you really want to go back there?"

Lynne was silent, but then she slowly nodded.

"I want to end things properly. I keep getting letters from them, and I can feel the Night Mother trying to reach out to me. I can't stand it, Naz."

"So, what are you going to do?"

Naz's voice was light, but inside was worried. He had seen first-hand how traumatized Lynne was from her time with the Guild and he wasn't so sure he was okay with her returning and giving them exactly what they wanted.

How does she know it'll stop just after one last target? What if it never ends?

"I don't know," Lynne mumbled, and she shrugged. "I'm not going to decide right now. I want to keep traveling with you and the others. I just... wanted to be honest with you. It's been on my mind."

Naz was grateful that Lynne had opened up to her. He smiled and rubbed her arm, and Lynne quickly leaned in and kissed him.

"You know you can tell me anything, right?"

"Mhm," Lynne mumbled softly, and she rested her forehead on his shoulder for a moment. "I love you Naz."

"I love you too, Lynne."

The water was now lukewarm and so the pair climbed out from the tub and dried themselves off. When they were finished getting dressed Lynne slipped her hand into Naz's. He kissed the back of her hand with a smile and then they made their way down the hall to Jane's and Bo's room.

When Jane had returned to her room, she wasn't sure how long Lynne and Naz were going to be in their bath. Bo was laying on the bed with his arms tucked under his head, and he smiled when she approached.

"They're having a bath so I told them to come later."

"Mmm okay," Bo responded, and he yawned.

Jane slipped under the covers and laid down on her side. She rested her arm against the pillow and gaze up at Bo with a soft expression. Bo shuffled closer, and he dipped his head down so he could kiss Jane. After a moment he pulled back and rested his head on the pillow with a content sigh.

"Want to have a nap while we wait?" Jane asked softly, and she rubbed her hand along his tunic, feeling the soft plains of his abs beneath the soft material.

A grin spread across Bo's face as an idea popped into his head. He quickly sat up in bed and shifted his body so he was kneeling over top of Jane's legs.

"I have a better idea," Bo replied huskily.

Jane's eyes widened as she watched him tug at her breeches, and tingly warmth spread through her body.

"So soon?" Jane teased, and he cheeks turned pink.

"Not that," Bo mumbled as he quickly tugged her breeches off and tossed them on the floor. "I want to taste you."

Jane's breath hitched as Bo's fingers sought her womanhood and he lightly stroked her slick folds. Desire washed over her and a soft moan escaped her lips.

"W-What about... the others," Jane gasped softly, and her body trembled as Bo's fingers explored her sweet spot and she shivered under his touch. "If they... they come..."

Bo was urged on by her sweet little moans and he reached back with his free hand to grasp the blanket. He swiftly pulled it up and over his head. He disappeared underneath the soft material and Jane couldn't see herself or the Orc but she could still feel him.

"Fuck," Jane gasped breathlessly, and she tightly gripped the bedsheets with both hands.

The Orc growled and he gripped her soft thighs with both hands, pulling Jane forward. He buried his face between her lips and he began pleasing her with his tongue. Jane's muffled moans drove him wild, and the longer he continued the more she cried out his name. Her thighs clenched tightly around his face while Bo worked, drawing him in.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Jane's body stiffened as she gasped for air. Before anyone could respond the door opened and Lynne popped her head in.

"Jane, are you guys here? We're ready now-"

Lynne's eyes landed on Jane as she lay on the bed. Her entire face was flushed bright red and her chest heaved as she panted for air. For a moment the Nord was completely oblivious.

"Jane? Where's Bo..."

Her voice trailed off as Lynne spotted the moving lump under the blanket. Her eyes widened, and she was utterly embarrassed at having interrupted the young couple.

"W-We'll just be... a minute..." Jane gasped.

"I'm so sorry!"

Lynne hastily retreated and shut the door and spun around. Naz stared down at her with a confused expression but she snatched his hand and began walking back towards their room.

"What is going on-"

"I uh... I interrupted something I shouldn't have," Lynne responded quietly.

The Orc frowned, and then he laughed as he realized what she meant.

"Did you see anything?" Naz teased, and he earned himself a smack to the chest. "What? Come on... maybe Bo knows some moves I don't-"

"Naz!"

The Orc continued to laugh as they re-entered their bedroom and sat down at the table to wait for the couple to finish their lovemaking. Lynne wasn't embarrassed that that's what Bo and Jane had been doing. She just felt terrible for having caused a disruption.

Naz continued to tease her lightly for a little while, but they didn't have to wait long. Around ten minutes later Jane and Bo entered the room. Both of their cheeks were bright with embarrassment but Naz clapped the young Orc on his back while Lynne offered an apologetic smile.

"I've learned my lesson to wait after I knock," Lynne confessed, and everybody laughed.

They were all glad to be back. The group chatted lightly about random things for a while, mostly about what the women had been up to while stuck in High Hrothgar. Bo seemed hesitant to talk about his ordeal with Delphine, but eventually, it was time to let Lynne and Jane in on what had happened in Kynesgrove and plan the next course of action.
