Evening had come and the night sky swallowed the island. Jim was resting in a tent looking over his hands.
Inside the tent were only the essentials: a place to sleep, cook food and a wooden wrack to place weapons and other items. A small fire was going and the smoke rose to the top of the tent and escaped through the tiny hole.
Jim cursed as he peeled the bandages off his hands. It was time to clean them.
"Do you need some help?" Iris let herself into the tent. She had with her a bowl of herbs and dressed in her tribal clothing.
"Oh, Iris...yeah, that would be nice." He spun around to face her and remained seated.
Iris knelt down in front of him and began crushing the herbs. She then grabbed a wooden bucket and poured a tiny amount of water into the bowl of herbs and then mixed it altogether. "Can I see your hand?" she asked. Jim lifted his right hand first for her to look at. Iris wiped up some of herbs with two fingers and gently rubbed it on Jim's wounds. He winced in pain as it stung a little at first. "Sorry," said Iris.
Jim waved a dismissive hand. "Its alright." He told her.
Once iris finished his right hand she moved on to his left. When she was finished with that she wrapped them in clean bandages again. "You should be able to see and feel the difference by tomorrow."
Jim gave her a small smile. "Thanks..."
Iris cocked her head to the side. "What's the matter?"
Jim wanted to bring up the "husband" topic, but he wasn't sure if it would result in a fight, and right now he was enjoying the moment. "Uh, just my back. There are a few cuts. They're not deep but they do sting a little." He decided to tell her that instead.
"May I?" Iris offered to help him take off his shirt. When his shirt was removed Iris took what was left of the herbs and dabbed them on to the tiny cuts. It didn't hurt nearly as bad so Jim was thankful for that. Iris then wrapped bandages around his chest. "There! All done." Iris smiled and wrapped her arms around him from the back, careful not to put too much of her weight on him.
Most of the village had gone to sleep and Kate had returned to the ships. It was just Jim and Iris now in their quiet little tent.
Iris kissed the back of Jim's neck softly, sending chills down his spine. She rubbed his shoulders gently.
Jim leaned back on her, enjoying her soft touch. He could pretend for a little while that they were married...right?
"I want to show you something." said Iris and she helped him stand up.
She led him outside the tent, the cool air felt nice and it smelled rich and sweet. The smell must have came from whatever the villagers had cooked for super.
"This way." Said Iris and she led him away from the village and deep into the forest.
"Iris, where are we going?"
Iris looked back at him, smiling, and put a finger to her lips.
Once they were a good distance away from the village the lights that came from it soon disappeared with it. To guide their way the grass beneath their feet lit up. Even the trees gave off some light as a dim glow illuminated from them
Jim watched as the insects lit up for a few seconds and then vanished from sight as their light slowly faded. There were even birds that sang a song, the feathers on their wings glowing different shades of colors as the pitch in their singing changed. Jim was completely captivated by all of it.
It was then that Iris had Jim sit down. She plucked a near by sky blue flower and sipped at the water that was inside of it. She handed the rest to Jim. "Drink it."
Jim was careful as he took the flower from her and drank the remaining water. "Its sweet." He said.
Iris smiled. "Its supposed to help cure internal injuries." She leaned in and kissed him then, forcing him to lie on his back on the soft grass covered ground. "Let me do all the work tonight. Just relax."
The cool grass felt nice on his back as he let her straddle him and rub her hands on his chest. Jim placed his hands on her thighs and rubbed them up and down.
Iris untied the leather string that was holding her make-shift dress together. She let it slip off her shoulders and tossed her dress to the side.
Jim reached up to touch her breasts; her nipples were exceptionally perky. He rubbed them and lightly pinched at them.
Iris blushed, enjoying the feel. She moved one of his hands and on to her crystal and let him run his fingers across it. "I love you." She said.
A small smirk spread across Jim's face. "I love you, too."
Iris brought her hands to his pants and undid his belt and unzipped his pants, pulling at them and taking them off along with his underwear. She rested her hand on his manhood and stroked it. She wasted no time bringing her mouth up his penis and licked at it.
Jim took one hand and grabbed at her hair as he moaned in pleasure. The feel of her soft, wet tongue on his dick made the pain in his hands go away.
When Iris was finished getting his manhood wet she put all of him inside of her mouth and sucked, twirling her tongue around as she did so.
This was new to Jim: the way Iris worked at him was something he had never experienced with Kate; Iris was a natural when it came to giving pleasure. "Iris...I'm going to come soon." His breathing was getting heavy as he tried harder to contain himself. "I want to be inside of you." He whispered.
That certainly wasn't a problem for Iris. She wanted it to and she slipped down on him, rocking back and forth.
Jim grabbed on to her thighs and again and helped her go faster.
"Come inside of me." Iris breathed, feeling herself reach full climax; the walls of her vagina tightened and she felt the hot liquid of Jim's cum fill her. She lay beside him, one hand resting on his chest as she cuddled next to him on the soft ground.
As they stared up at the night sky it was littered with billions of tiny stars; the glowing insects and birds could be seen flying high above.
Jim turned his head to look at Iris. She was still looking up at the sky. Jim could see the reflection in her beautiful green orbs and he kissed her forehead. "I want you to know that you're the best treasure I've ever found." He told her.
Iris looked at him and gave him a peck on the lips. "You say that as if you might lose me..." Her voice was quiet.
Jim caressed her hair. "Never," he said.
"Do you promise?"
"I promise." When Jim said those words he meant it, but he knew he had no control over what was soon to come. He could lose Iris tomorrow by Barlow's hands; or it could be the other way around. It scared him. He had never felt like this before. "Iris," he began, "you said I was your husband."
Iris gave him a look. "Well, you are."
Jim took a breath as he tried to ready himself for this conversation. "Where I come from we have a ceremony called a "wedding". That's when two people become husband and wife."
A look of confusion spread across her face. "I've never heard of that word."
"How is it done in your village?" Jim asked.
"When two people are to be joined as man and woman the joining ceremony is them sharing a bed together. That makes them husband and wife. There is, of course, a celebration before hand, perhaps that is what you call a "wedding"."
"Well," said Jim. "Let's say here in this village we are married, but where I come from we aren't. I would buy you a ring and put it on this finger." He pointed at her ring finger. "I would have a similar ring, too. That would signify our unity."
Iris nodded in understanding. "So here we are married, but not where you are from." She said it as a fact.
Jim nodded to this. "Exactly."
"But we are still married." She added.
Jim smiled and gave a short laugh. "When we return to Montressor I'll pick out a ring for you and we can have a proper wedding."
Iris snuggled into his chest. "That sounds wonderful." She was getting sleepy now.
Jim turned his head to look up at the night sky again. "Iris," he whispered.
"Hmm?" She was starting to doze off.
"Will you marry me?"
"Mm...mhm..." Her voice was barely audible.
"Iris?" But no response came from her, so Jim said again in a soft whisper, "Will you marry me?...Marry me." He kept repeating it, the sound of it felt so right. "Marry me, Iris..." And finally, sleep overcame him.
I'm not sure how you all feel about the sex parts. If you want me to tone it down, I will.
