Chapter Twelve - Love is in the Air

The sweat, lovely twittering of the birds was the first sound Janelle heard while she was half-asleep and was about to wake up slowly. Her body was covered by the warm blanket and a warm body was pressed against her back. She felt two strong arms tightly around her waist, which pulled her close to its owner. Soft hands had found their way beneath Janelle's pyjama top and stroked her belly softly. Janelle's lips formed to a small smile as she snuggled closer up to the other woman. She closed her eyes and placed her hands on Cairaeleen's hands, enjoying her touch and the soft stroking.

"Good Morning" Janelle whispered softly and caressed the back of Cairaeleen's hands with her thumbs.

"Morning" Cairaeleen whispered softly and placed a soft kiss on the back of Janelle's neck. The taller elf pulled Janelle closer so that the hybrid was able to feel the taller woman's body against her back.

"Did you sleep well, honey?" the smaller woman asked and rubbed her left foot against her girlfriend's feet, bringing Cairaeleen's hands to her mouth, kissing them softly. Cairaeleen giggled softly and touched Janelle's bottom lip softly with her index finger, trailing over her lips and toying with them playfully.

The raven head turned around, her eyes were filled with joy and excitement as soon as she was able to look in her girlfriend's beautiful, shining eyes. She smiled and leaned in, fusing her lips to Cairaeleen's who kissed her back immediately. She placed her hands on the taller woman's cheeks and stroked them softly while she deepened the kiss and licked her girlfriend's bottom lip, begging for entrance. Cairaeleen parted her lips and allowed the hybrid's tongue to enter her mouth.

Cairaeleen forced her own tongue in the other woman's mouth then she placed her hands on Janelle's hips, caressing them softly. Her hot and softy skin felt incredibly good in her greedy hands, she wished that she could lay with her in the bed and touch her forever but she knew that they had to look for her sister in a few days.

Their tongues wrestled, none of them had the dominance so they continued their sweet tongue kiss. Janelle placed her arms around the woman with the honey coloured hair, pressing her tightly against herself, her hands stroked her girlfriend's back softly. Janelle felt Cairaeleen's huge chest pressing against hers, it felt astonishingly good, a wave of excitement rushed through her body and she felt a soft tingle on her skin, especially in her lower body area.

Her hands sneaked beneath Cairaeleen's pyjama and caressed her muscular back softly. Janelle really liked Cairaeleen's muscular body, normally she preferred women with slender figures but she had found out that she was heavily attracted by this well-trained and battle proved body. She imagined how the woman in her arms would look like if she would be completely naked. She noticed that she had become very excited because of these thoughts, the excitement was highly concentrated in the area between her legs. She wished she could undress Cairaeleen and have her way with the blood elf but she didn't want to ruin their relationship by rushing things too fast.

She decided to continue stroking Cairaeleen's back then her hands roamed over the entire length of her back, hanging on her firm ass for several seconds before she guided them back to her lover's shoulders, massaging them softly. She noticed that the blood elf enjoyed her touch so she continued to stroke her shoulders, more roughly this time. Cairaeleen leaned in and captured the hybrid's lips, forcing her tongue in her mouth, this time winning the fight for dominance.

The couple snuggled, kissed and exchanged caresses for almost an entire hour. They wanted to continue resting in each other's arms but they were interrupted by a loud knock on the room's door. The women stood up and fixed their pyjamas before they told Daynlia to come in.

The mage entered the room, she wore a blue robe and carried a tray with two plates in her hands. She placed the tray on the bedside table and looked at the pair, a small smile was visible on her lips.

"I've to attend a meeting with my family in an hour. I will go now but you can stay at my home and have breakfast before you go to the stables or do whatever you want. You know where my spare key is Cair. Take it if you want to go back to my house, I'm not sure how long this meeting will last" Daynlia said and regarded the two beauties in front of her.

"Thank you Day, thank you for all you have done for us. I'm glad and very happy that you are my friend" Cairaeleen responded and smiled back. She stepped forward and hugged her best friend tightly. The mage's cheeks redded as she felt her best friend's enormous breast against her own, which had an acceptable size too. Daynlia made a step backwards, feeling a bit awkward.

"That's what friends are for" Daynlia replied.

"But not everyone would keep Janelle's secret. I know that I can trust you and I'm very thankful for that" Cairaeleen said and placed a soft kiss on Daynlia's forehead. A slight blush appeared on the mage's cheeks. She cleared her throat and told her best friend that she had to go if she didn't want to come too late to the meeting. Cairaeleen and her girlfriend hugged the petite woman for the last time then they said goodbye and watched the brown-haired woman leaving.

"I wish we could continue cuddling" Janelle said as she placed her hands around Cairaeleen's waist, resting her head on the taller woman's right shoulder.

Cairaeleen stroke her head softly and responded"I wish we could but we have to buy the horses because we want to start our journey in a few days. Besides, I have prepared a surprise for you this evening"

"A surprise? Really?" Janelle asked, looking up to her girlfriend, her eyes glowed in excitement.

"Yes, really my love" Cairaeleen responded and kissed her forehead softly.

"I can't wait to see it"

"But you have to wait until evening. You will like it. Promised" Cairaeleen said and peeked quickly on her lips. "We should get dressed and eat something before we go to the stable"

"You are right we have to get ready. Don't worry, I'm a very patient person, I can wait as long as I have to" Janelle responded and stroked her girlfriend's back softly.

"That's what I wanted to hear. Let's go to the dining room" Cairaeleen said and picked the tray up. Janelle followed her out of the guest room and sat down next to the tall woman, on a chair. Cairaeleen placed the tray on the table and observed it. On the tray stood two plates and two glasses filled with milk. The plates were filled with smeared slices of bread, vegetables, fruits, cookies and other sweets. Cairaeleen placed her arm around Janelle and wished her a good appetite.

Janelle smiled as she wished her the same and took a bite of a slice of bread smeared with cream cheese. Cairaeleen peeled a banana and ate it with relish, her left hand rested on Janelle's right hand, caressing it softly. The hybrid smiled at her and the two looked into each other's eyes the entire time until they had finished their meal. They enjoyed each other's presence for quite some time, they talked, they made jokes and laughed together. They shared passionate kisses and caresses. Janelle had sat on the lap of Cairaeleen, who had placed her arms around the hybrid's waist, rubbing her belly softly and placing soft kisses on her shoulders.

They stood up after an hour, leaving the tray with the plates on the table then they walked back to the guest room and undressed each other slowly, placing kisses on each exposed body part. They put on their usual outfits slowly, staring in each other's eyes and smiling widely while meanwhile.

They had needed thirty minutes to get dressed. Cairaeleen approached her girlfriend and wrapped her arms around her back, stroking it softly. Janelle placed her hands on the other's hips caressing them as she locked lips with her. They shared a passionate tongue kiss, they hung on each other like they had been glued together. Cairaeleen managed to grope her girlfriend's ass two times, feeling the soft flesh beneath her cloth, wanting to knead it so badly but she stopped in the last moment because she knew that she shouldn't rush things.

They separated after an additional twenty minutes of cuddling, both missing the other's touch immediately. Cairaeleen checked if she had her money in her bum bag, fortunately, she hadn't left it at home. She took Janelle's left hand and dragged her out of the room. The women walked out of Daynlia's house, closing the door behind them. Cairaeleen locked it with the spare key and they started to walk towards the stable.

They had needed twice the time to reach the stable as usual because they had walked very slowly and had observed the beautiful surroundings. Most of the villagers hadn't paid attention to them, only a few of them had stared at them, either because they had despised them or because they had enjoyed looking at them, while they had imagined perverted fantasies. Most of the people who had looked at them in enjoyment had been males but also a few females had regarded their beauty and had imagined their own fantasies.

They pasted the stable owner's house and arrived in front of the stable in his backyard. They walked through the entrance and noticed a female warlock with brown, long and curly hair. They couldn't know that this woman was the, as Varelle, disguised Vaero. They walked towards her and were greeted by her.

"Hello. I didn't know that there is someone else who is interested in Lightning" Cairaeleen said and pointed at the white, strong horse in the loose box behind the warlock.

"Nah I'm not really interested in buying this horse. I'm just like to visit the horses here and spend time with them" Varelle explained.

"Good to know. We are thinking about buying or at least renting this horse" Janelle explained and observed the warlock. She had to admit that this woman was very beautiful but not as beautiful as Cairaeleen. She didn't know why but she had a bad feeling about this woman, something was fishy about her, she couldn't explain why she had that feeling or what was wrong with this woman.

"My name is Varelle" the warlock said and stretched her arm out. Cairaeleen and Janelle shook her hand quickly then they observed Lightning. The stable owner had told them yesterday that this horse had obtained its name because it was his fasted horse.

"My name is Janelle and this is my girlfriend Cairaeleen"

"A relationship between two women. That's rare and exciting" Varelle said, hiding her jealousy behind a polite smile. She observed Janelle's facial features, noticing that she looked seemed familiar to her. She knew that she had seen this woman before or at least someone who looked similar to her but she couldn't remember where or when she had seen her.

"It is exciting indeed but such a relationship also contains its problems. It had been very difficult to be in a gay relationship in the past. You had to hide all the time and you weren't able to show feelings for each other in public but since Lady Liadrin and former Ranger-General Sylvanas Windrunner had outed themselves as a gay couple, the people had gotten used to gay relationships after a few years. Liadrin and Sylvanas are famous personalities and a lot of people are admiring them. The inhabitants of Quel'Thalas were shocked at first but they accepted them, their sexual orientation and their relationship very quickly. Sadly, there are also individuals who aren't accepting gay relationships" Cairaeleen told.

"Sadly, there are too many intolerant people in this world, even in our society" Varelle responded.

"Yeah, but I got used to them. I ignore the stares and angry or irritated glances from others. It's not easy to be a lesbian, especially if you have a crush on someone and you don't know if she feels the same way or if she is also attracted by women. It's also hard to find out if the woman you like is interested in women instead of men, or if she is interested in both. Having a relationship with a woman who likes both genders is always a risk. The chance that she gets bored of a gay relationship or that she will notice one day, that she prefers men, exists. Then she will have a relationship with a man and will never speak with you again. This case never happened to me, fortunately, but I have a friend who had to experience such a horrible scenario"

"When have you noticed that you are attracted by women?" Varelle asked curiously. Cairaeleen looked at Janelle who nodded her head slightly. She looked back at Varelle and answered "I went to a party with my ex-boyfriend and we both got very drunk. We ended up in bed with another beautiful woman, I don't know how we got there but we had a threesome and after that, I felt an attraction to other women. I don't know where this sudden attraction came from but it existed and it pushed me to make out with several women. First, it started as a harmless attraction but later it turned to a real sexual desire for women. It's hard to explain it correctly so that it's understandable but that's how it happened"

"And you?" Varelle asked and looked at Janelle.

"There is not a special story behind my attraction for women. I never felt attracted to men. Since I can remember I only desire women"

"Alright, you don't need to always have a special story. Sometimes it is how it is" Varelle responded smiling.

"Which gender do you prefer?" Janelle asked curiously.

"Women of course"

"Welcome to the club" Cairaeleen said and observed the horse in the loose box behind her.

"You talked about renting or buying this horse right? Are you going on a long journey or do you just want to ride in general, for fun? Varelle asked, wanting to know what her love interest is going to do.

"We just want to ride a bit. Can I ask you something?"

"Sure you can" Varelle responded and looked at Cairaeleen.

"You are not an inhabitant of this village right?" I know every inhabitant but I have never seen you before or heard of you" Cairaeleen responded.

"Yes, I'm not an inhabitant of this village. I'm new to this place. I was born in a small village in the near of the border of Quel'Thalas. I've been on long journeys over the past years and now I'm back in Quel'Thalas for a few weeks before I will travel to Orgrimmar. I like visiting new places and areas. I already got a horse but I like to regard other horses and stroke their fur" Varelle explained believably so that neither Cairaeleen nor Janelle recognized that she had lied to them.

"We are going to have a test ride now. Do you want you to join us?" Cairaeleen asked and looked at the warlock.

"I wish I could but I have to do some business right now" Varelle lied.

"What a pity. Maybe we will meet again in the next few days. It was nice to meet you and talk with you" Janelle said, she didn't know why but somehow she wanted to see this woman again, there was something special but also suspicious about her and she wanted to find out the warlock's secret and what was special and suspicious about her.

"Maybe" Varelle responded with a small smile on her lips. "I've to go now. See you again, hopefully". She walked out of the stable quickly without hesitation.

"Hmm..."

"Is something wrong?" Cairaeleen asked curiously.

"There is something wrong with this woman. I don't know why but I have a bad feeling about this woman and somehow I want to find out more about her, although it doesn't make sense because I barely know her"

"This woman is suspicious for me too. We should stay away from her and don't tell her about our journey in a few days" Cairaeleen

"You are right. So... are we going to test these horses now?" Janelle asked.

"Of course. Do you want to ride on Lightning or on Lesi" Cairaeleen asked and pointed at the two horses behind them.

"Honestly I thought I could ride with you on the same horse because... I'm not used to riding... at all"

"You never took a ride on a horse?" Cairaeleen asked surprised, her eyebrows were raised.

"Yes. Unlike the other girls, I never had the interest in spending time with horses. I preferred reading books or fighting with wood swords against the boys of my village" the hybrid responded with a small blush on her face, trying to avoid looking into her girlfriend's eyes, she felt a bit ashamed.

"You don't have to be ashamed" Cairaeleen said and walked to the smaller woman. She wrapped her arms around her and pulled her into a tight hug, kissing her head softly. She lifted Janelle's chin with her left hand and placed a passionate kiss on the half-human's soft lips. She intertwined their fingers as she continued to kiss her, more passionate and longer lasting this time.

She placed her left hand on Janelle's ass, giving it a slight squeeze. The hybrid's lips were parted as a low moan escaped her lips, Cairaeleen used the opportunity and guided her tongue in the raven head's mouth. Janelle inserted her own tongue in the other woman's mouth, their tongues wrestled for dominance, Cairaeleen won because she distracted her girlfriend by kneading her ass softly.

She pressed her girlfriend against the loose box's door, kissing her more passionately. Cairaeleen's hands found its way beneath Janelle's robe, in her pants, stroking the backside of Janelle's slip softly. Janelle's cheeks became red immediately, she wanted to say something but the blood elf's hot tongue, which licked every reachable spot in her mouth, prevented her from speaking. Cairaeleen felt a wave of excitement rushing through her body as she kneaded her lover's buttocks softly. She was about to move her hands around Janelle's waist to her private part as she noticed the presence of another person.

It was the stable owner who cleared his throat and asked "Ehm... Can I help you?"

Cairaeleen turned around immediately and stepped in front of the half-human, whose blush was even more intense than the blush in the man's face.

"We just want to make a test ride on Lightning. My girlfriend also has to learn how to ride. Would it be possible that one of your employers could teach her how to ride tomorrow and the day after? Cairaeleen asked looking at the stable's owner, who was avoiding their gazes, still embarrassed that he had intruded them during their making-out.

"Of course you can. I will see you again in a few hours and she can come tomorrow whenever she wants. My daughter will teach you how to ride" the man responded and walked out of the stable quickly.

"What was that?" Janelle asked confused by the man's behaviour.

"Exchanging of a bit of tender loving care or what did you think I was going to do?" Cairaeleen asked with a wide grin on her face.

"I meant the man's behaviour"

"Oh, you meant that. Ignore him" Cairaeleen responded and peeked quickly on Janelle's lips. "Let's ride together"
