Chapter eight – Towels

Dinner went by slowly. After Marron had scolded at Rishou for showing up covered in mud that is. They all waited for the boy to clean up and finally settled for dinner after he had joined them with his head hung low.

After doing the dishes and insisting that it was Marron's turn to spend some time with the boys he had left the house. Wandering into the forest completely lost in his mind.

Memories taking over ever part of his brains, images of the day he had spent with his two sons twirled by. At some points he smiled, at some points he held back his breath once he remembered how Marron had hugged him from behind that morning.

And the memories kept on popping out of nowhere. Some recent and others of years ago. The pictures that hung on the walls of their home or the ones that decorated the bookshelf. All overwhelmed him. It wasn't until he stopped at the river he noticed the moon shining brightly down on him.

It was late; he ought to be going back now.

The house was empty; the fire place was still burning passionately in the middle of the room. Toys lay scattered over the floor and Uub idly started to clean up the little mess the boys had left behind.

Once finished he yawned and dragged himself up the stair case. His heavy head turned to the bathroom, his shoulders were burning as his eyes were begging him to finally give them some rest.

Never would he have thought that he be worn out after spending a full day with one six year old and a three year old. Then again, these children weren't exactly what you would call average.

Stretching his back he entered the bedroom, expecting to find Marron there but saw it was empty. Rubbing his shoulders he dragged his feet to the bed and sat down. He could hear the shower running a few feet away from him.

Deciding it was time for him to head to bed he stood up and grabbed his sleeping shirt his eyes looking out of the open window gazing to the stars above. He was actually happy that this home was now located on his favourite spot of the forest. As a young boy he had wandered to this place many times when ever the life of the tribe was getting to him. It had been his spot for many years and no one knew about it or was ever able to find him here hiding.

But he did take Marron here. They only had been together for a few months. She had loved it as much as he did and marvelled at the view of the forest or the stars above them when night fell.

He smiled and settled down back on the bed, he didn't notice that the shower had been turned of.

"There you are." Marron's voice called and Uub yelped as he jumped of the bed, 'What the hell?!' he swallowed hard and shook his head once he heard Marron chuckle behind him.

'Always popping up from nowhere, scarring the daylights -' he turned around yet found himself frozen to the ground the moment he saw the petite blonde standing in the same room as him.

A smile on her lips as both her hands rested on her hips. And all that covered her was just a little pink towel.

He swallowed hard.

There was a gorgeous looking woman standing in front of him.

Just a few feet away from him.

Wearing nothing but a tiny towel wrapped around her body. He felt his throat run dry as his heart started to slam viciously against his chest.

"I was beginning to wonder when you'd be back; the boys are already tucked in for a few hours." Completely unaware of her husbands' inner struggle. Which surprised him slightly since he knew he was gaping at her like a fricking gold fish.

Yet he couldn't stop himself.

Although the thought of them wrapped around each other with no clothes on had crossed his mind more than once today, being presented with a moment in which it could happen actually freaked him out. To have her standing there naked, so, so glorious naked in front of him make him extremely nervous.

Nervous, oddly enough, pleasantly… nervous.

He recognized the feelings that swirled through his body all to well.

She moved to the mirror and reached out to the towel that was wrapped securely around her hair. He gulped.

Loud.

Marron stopped once she looked at his reflection in the mirror, "Is there something wrong Uub?"

Uub gulped, 'Yes'

"No…"

Marron turned to look at him, "You, look like a…" she blinked.

She raised an eyebrow, the towel hanging loosely around her body. A mischievous smile covering her lips, "You're blushing…" she stated.

Uub backed up and straightened himself, "I am not."

A giggle escaped her, "Yes you are…" she said and grinned, "It has been a long time since I have last seen you blush…" she whispered completely ignoring what he had just said.

Uub gulped; well it has been a while since he had seen her like this. It has been years in fact, except… she doesn't know that.

He swallowed hard as his eyes took over her body yet again. 'Dende, she was a gift sent down from the heavens.'

She walked up to him and he groaned the moment he saw her hips swaying back and forth. Knowing exactly what was underneath that flimsy pink towel.

Oh Dende.

And he did remember that look on her face….

She was toying with him…

With her free hand she reached up to the towel that was securely wrapped in her wet hair, "You know…" she whispered getting closer to him.

He was frozen to the ground and forced to keep the sounds that were threatening to come out of his throat to stay down.

No whining!

"You have been acting mighty strange lately. Each time I touched you, you would panic, jump slightly…." She finally released her wet hair from its' prison and dropped the towel on the wooden floor. Her gloriously wet hair now dripping down drops of water over her shoulders.

Oh crap… he felt his heart crashing against his rib cage. If it continued on doing that even more he was sure it would crack straight through the ribs and dance around on the floor in front of him.

"For a moment there I thought, maybe, just maybe he doesn't like-" with that her hands moved painfully slow to the last towel that covered her glorious beautiful and wet body, "me any more." She spoke in a mockingly sad voice.

Holy…..

"Do you?" she slowly, very slowly removed the towel, "Still like what you see?" with that the towel dropped on the floor and Uub felt his knees weakening. His mouth watering and his eyes bulging.

She was naked, holy Dende, she was standing there, right in front of him in all her full glory. It wasn't a memory or a random though. It was as real as it was ever going to be.

A tiny smile on her lips, with rosy coloured cheeks and her gorgeous blue eyes glancing at him.

He swallowed hard.

"Do you Uub?" she asked, al though he was sure she knew the answer to that question since his face at the moment had to resemble a look of a horny wolf or something along the lines.

The idiot that he was only managed to nod.

His body, mind and soul screamed at him. But his lips as stubborn as they were refused to move.

'Do something, look at her! You idiot! My Dende, do at least something!' and he willed himself to stand up straight.

"So… what will you do now?" for a moment there was only silence. Uub couldn't hear anything other then the sound of his blood racing down to the southern area of his body. His eyes roaming her body, searching her face that still looked at him in question.

"Well lover?" she smiled at him and that same old mischievous glint reached up in to her eyes.

That was it. He couldn't hold back any more.

With a gush of wind he crashed up against her earning a surprised gasp from her. His strong arms wrapped around her body.

She smiled, "That's more like it…" her voice a whisper.

He could feel her naked body pressing against his and although his body screamed to move further he still could not refuse to drown in the blue depths of her eyes.

"Beautiful." He said earning another bright smile.

"How do you do that?" she whispered. Her hands moved slowly over his back.

"Do what?"

"Look at me as if you haven't seen me in years?"

He paused for a few seconds. He hadn't seen her in years. He hadn't held her in years. For years he refused to remember. Save himself from the pain of going down memory lane filled with images of her. And he hadn't realized how much he had missed her until that very moment.

And she read him like an open book.

He chose not to answer as he leaned his head down to hers. His lips slowly moving over her lips, slightly touching while keeping his eyes closed.

The smell of her filled his senses completely. He let his hands roam her glorious silk skin –Dende, she still felt the same-, going down her back and cupping her deliciously firm cheeks.

She kissed him once.

He held her tighter.

Her lips pulled on his lower lip and with that he deepened her kiss.

He picked her up and she immediately wrapped her legs around his hips. With a sigh he gently placed her on the bed, his knees pressing between her legs as he placed his hands above her shoulders on the bed.

Heavenly bliss he found himself in as they removed his clothing. Touching each other in an eagerness as if they both were trying hard to memorize each other's bodies.

"Marron." He whispered against her lips and marvelled at the feeling that flew through his body the moment she moaned and had her hands roaming his chest.

"I love you." She whispered in his ear once he entered her and all around him went dark. The world was sent spinning around and Uub grabbed her legs placing them around his hips. His heart thumping loudly, his mind repeating her words in his head over and over again.

"I love you so much." She whispered over and over again in chant as she was coming closer and closer to her climax.

Uub sped up the moment the words landed in his ears. His eyes recapturing hers and locking tightly on the bright blue orbs that poured down everything she felt for him straight in to his heart. He whispered her name while his hands found their way to her face, he kissed her once she reached her climax, drowning her cries as he did so. Her cries brought him closer to the edge as he felt himself reach his own climax, he grunted and held back as long as he could.

Nothing ever felt this good.

His release was like an explosion irrupting with in her. With the last remaining strength still residing in his arms he pulled himself off of her. But never stopped touching her, his eyes finding hers as she smiled at him.

"I love you too…"

She smiled in delight and moved her body closer against his. Her delicate hands kept roaming his body, up his arm, down his chest and down going around in circles on his abs.

Uub closed his eyes, holding her as tight as possible and tried as hard as he could to ignore a little voice in his mind that kept on saying the same thing.

"This isn't real."
