WARNING FLUFF IN THIS CHAPTER eheh
This was her last day in New Hope. She was going to set out in the morning for Giantkiller. Tears stung her eyes, threatening to fall down her cheek.
"Don't worry love" whispered Dom "They will be fine"
It was humorous that no one had figured out that they were together. Everyone had heard that Dom had a new ladylove. But no one knew who she was. His squad was setting up traps and coming up with outrageous plots to figure it out.
She remembered one really outrageous one that involved a cunning truth spell and a love declaration to Peachblossom from Neal.
"I'm so worried about them" she whispered. "What if something happens to them again?" she couldn't and never would be able to forget Haven. One of her tear escaped. He kissed it away.
"You trained them well" Dom said.
"I love them" she replied softly
"I know, and so do they, you will always be theirs" she smiled into his very blue eyes.
"Thank you for cheering me up" she said
"I love you Kel" it always made her stomach clench when he said that. She couldn't help but think that she was the luckiest girl, to have such a perfect lover.
"No, my beautiful Protector of the Small..." he started as she groaned at the nickname perfect but sometime annoying she thought "Why don't we go eat now!"
"Don't call me that" she said as she got up to leave. He smiled at her, "Fine love" he said has he bent his head to kiss her lips.
He started nuzzling her jaw with his nose. Not that she wanted him to stop but she asked "weren't you hungry?"
He smiled at her, bowed and offered her his arm. She took it and followed him to the mess hall. On the way she couldn't help but notice that the camp, no town she thought happily to herself, looked empty. "Where is everyone?" she asked. It was usually bustling with people at this time.
Dom looked around. "I don't know" he said.
"Let's check it out" she said.
"Keeeel I'm hungry, can we do it after I've eaten?" he asked
She rolled her eyes at him. "There is something wrong here sergeant. I will check it out."
"Fine" he said as he followed her. They looked around for a while not finding anyone. What is happening? She thought to herself getting more and more worried.
"You know Kel, we should go ask Neal and Yuki, maybe they know" Dom told her.
She veered off towards the infirmary, Dom following like a dutiful puppy. Where is Tobe? My son would never leave me! She kept telling herself. Even the animals weren't there.
They reached the infirmary, which was completely empty. She knocked on Neal's door and didn't get an answer. She was really worried now.
"Maybe he's eating now" said Dom. She looked at him. He didn't look worried.
"Dom aren't you worried? Everyone is gone! Maybe they got captured! Tobe, Neal, My brothers, Merric, Falreon, Esmond, Seaver, Owen! They are all gone! Even your squad is gone!" she said panicking. "Where are they?" she said. She was truly freaking out and he wasn't even worried.
"Kel, calm down. I'm sure they are fine. Now come, let's check the mess" he told her calmly.
She started to mutter "Calm down! Right! My people have disappear and he wants me to calm down!"
As they were about to enter the mess hall, Dom looked down at her amused. She was about to snap at him, but he opened the door.
"SURPRISE LADY KEL!"
She stared at everyone. They were all there. All her refugee, her knights, her soldiers and her animals. They had decorated the mess with flowers and garland. She was ushered into the room to be passed on from person to person. Everyone wanted to hug her and wish her luck. She glanced at Dom, who smirked at her.
They had prepared a great supper finished with a blueberry pie. She loved blueberry pie. Then they got instruments out and started to dance.
"We'll miss you" said someone from behind her. Recognizing the voice she turned around to face the woman who had doubted her until she had proved that she cared. "I'll miss you to Fanche"
Fanche in a rare gesture of affection hugged Kel.
Kel felt tears at the corner of her eyes. That night it took all her Yamani control to not cry.
As she danced with her wonderful son, she overheard Wolset talking.
"Ok so here is the plan. We will follow him after the party and seriously all of you should stick to him like glue, we want to know who she is! She's probably a refugee, so it's their last night, we want to catch him. We need some blackmail"
She grinned. Tobe knowing who was Dom's Ladylove and having already helped the couple escape the squads plan grinned also.
"Maybe we should ask for Lady Kel help" said Fulcher
Kel grin got even wider. She was laughing on the inside.
"How do you guys even know he has a lover?" asked Lofren "I heard Sergeant Volorin that he sleeps in the barrack every night"
Sergeant Aiden having overheard the conversation put in "But he always comes in around one in the morning. And if you look below his left ear he CLEARLY has a lovebite"
Kel blushed as she heard that. She hadn't meant to give him one, but he had given her so many already, and people were starting to wonder why she often wore her hair down nowadays. Her hair was now the perfect length to hide her neck. It was just below her shoulder. She had consider cutting it, but now it was rather useful to have it long.
"Once we're at Giantkiller he is going to hear about it" said Fulcher
"Do you think he has bedded her?" asked Wolset. They all knew of Dom's reputation.
"Of course! It started before The fight. He usually beds them a week in" said Fulcher. They all laughed. Kel shook her head. Apparently she was different then his other flings, since he had done nothing more than kiss her.
She discreetly hand-signalled Dom about his squads plan. He nodded. He was ready to fool them.
She retired well after midnight, saying she needed to leave early in the morning the next day. She shook her head as she glimpsed Neal and Yuki kissing fervently. It was their last night together for a little while. She was leaving for Corus and he was coming to Giantkiller.
She went to her room. She waited for a good hour before Dom, who had had to run around the camp twice, hide behind the latrine, climb on the roof, run from roof to roof to finally drop in by her window to lose his squad, came in.
He smiled at her. Laughingly he kissed her cheek. "You should've seen your face earlier. It looked like you wanted to kill me because I wasn't worried. And your face when you entered the room was also priceless" he informed her.
"I was so worried" she said. "and I couldn't believe you just didn't care and you only wanted to eat"
"Well we thought you wouldn't notice and you would just go in! Sorry we worried you"
"It's ok" she said "It was so worth it"
She smiled up at him. He rose on her tiptoe to smash her lips against his. He kissed her passionately. When she pulled back she said "You know your men think you've bedded me?"
"Do they?" he asked as he brought his lips to hers.
The feel of his lips against hers was overwhelming. She loved the way he made her feel vulnerable and in control at the same time. Feeling bolder than usual she lightly touched his lips with her tongue.
His eyes snapped open to look her in the eye. He slowly opened up and let her explore his mouth. She revelled in the feel of it. As he shyly started to also explore her mouth she melted. It was a good thing his arm was around her waist holding her up or she would've fallen.
However, it seems his legs turned to jelly too and he gracefully fell on her bed. He rolled over so he was hovering above her, never once breaking eye contact.
He finally pulled back due to lack of air. "I love you Kel" he whispered.
Kel reached down for the hem of his shirt. He smiled at her as he raised his arm for her to take his shirt off. He had the nicest body ever. She marvelled at his beauty as she caressed his bare chest.
When he reached down to the hem of her shirt she altogether stopped thinking. "I love you Dom"
