Okay, well this goes into T+ and M territory. Just warning everyone now.
The next afternoon they met again at the designated place on the edge of the village. This time they took a path that led them into a small valley that Ead had only been to once before. From his confidence, it was obvious that Arnporr was familiar with the dell. He led her down through the thick wood and brush until they came upon a place where the ground had been cleared to create a soft floor under a canopy of trees. Stopping by a large trunked tree, Arnpoor smiled at her. "Sit."
He sat and leaned against the tree, holding up his hand for her. Taking his hand, she eased down and found herself settled close to him, so close their sides were touching and it sent tremors of excitement through her. He must have felt it in her because he smiled at her again and tugged to bring her even closer. Then covering her mouth with his, Arnpoor kissed her. The kiss wasn't a long one and they cuddled as it ended.
Remembering what he had said, that she wouldn't have to... to be with him until she wanted it, she was suddenly filled with worry for him. "You're very kind, patient with me. But you need a woman." She said
His jaw clenched and he swallowed roughly, then blinked. "Yes. No woman... alone. Now you… soon."
"But why me?" she wanted to know.
He opened his mouth to answer but then shook his head. Then reaching for her, his hand went into her hair. "This," he said softly as his long fingers combed through her tresses. Then slowly he leaned down over her face and very gently kissed her lips. "And this." His hand went to her shoulder and slid down to cover her breast. "And this." His lips moved to her neck where his breath was hot and his whispered words sent sensations through her that she'd never felt before. "I want this," he told her. "At dark." and then his hand went to her most private area, grasping at her through her dress. "Warm, soft. Need this," he said as he squeezed her there.
As if to prove his point, he backed her against a tree and leaned into her, his male part pressing against her abdomen firmly. Ead gasped from the feel of him against her, so hard and strong. A wave of heat rolled through her and she felt a gush downward as her body reacted to his. It seemed to encourage him and he pressed into her more, grinding against her and suddenly she realized what forces were at work within him.
Once she had happened onto one of the couples in the village while they thought they were alone in the wood. Andraste was rubbing Judoc, stroking his spear as he moaned and hissed. At first Ead had thought Andraste was hurting him but after only a moment's time she understood what Andraste was doing. Judoc let out a low growl as Andraste brought him release and he spilled his seed into her hand. Ead had been horrified to see one of the strongest men in the village weak at the knees because of what Andraste was doing.
Here, now, leaning back into the tree, she understood what Anzo needed in this moment. Her hand came up to grasp him. He froze and looked at her worriedly but she merely smiled back and began to do as she'd seen Andraste do. It was awkward though, stroking him through his trousers.
His bright blue eyes watched in awe as she reached beneath his clothing to pull him out and firmly take control of him. He hissed as she stroked him firmly. A sense of real power came over her as she felt his stance weaken because of her grip on him. He kissed her neck, tickled her ear with his tongue, caressed her breast with his hand, and finally held his head back and let out a roar as his seed exploded from him.
He held her as he shook from the aftermath and then once his strength returned, he leaned over for a kiss. One hand reached up to her breast as the other reached under her dress and found the apex of her legs. His hand was rough but his touch gentle as he caressed her there, spreading moisture over the area. Now it was Ead who was weakening, who hissed and trilled with the excitement of it. A finger slid between her folds and he let out a small happy grunt. Leaning his head into her mid- section, he took a deep breath. And then another finger joined the first as they slid along the folds. And then something new, one finger teased her at her entrance before slipping inside.
Her body reacted instantly, opening and then tightening around this new sensation. She looked down to see him watching her, his eyes alive with eagerness and excitement. As their eyes locked, he began to move his finger barely inside her, stroking her just as surely as she had stroked him. His other hand rubbed her breast, bringing her nipple to a peak and making her unable to decide which was more exciting or desired, his hand at her breast or his finger inside her. One finger felt tight and filling. two stretched her a little but the intensity increased as well. She felt something building within her, something powerful. And then her legs went weak, and yet she felt her middle lifting from the ground, and then it happened.
She felt a release, liquid flooding her there, muscles clinching, and then intense joy. Anzo withdrew his hand, lifted the hem of her dress and ducked his head under. Before she could wonder what he was doing, she felt his tongue there. He was licking her! And to her surprise, it was just as exciting as his finger had been. He licked and nibbled at her a few minutes more until she felt the excitement building again. She could feel his teeth at her, gently nipping and then his lips sucking. And then... another explosion from her. His head remained below as he licked once again, taking in what her body had released.
Once she settled again, he emerged. His eyes were bright and his mouth and chin wet from her. And in that moment, she knew she would be safe with him. He wiped his hand across his face and looked at it. "No blood."
"What?" She didn't understand what he meant.
"No blood. Haeviu not angry... no blood." He looked at her, clearly thinking she should understand. Standing, he reached for her and pulled her up to him and cupped her. "We marry and then when you want... we join." Another kiss and he turned, holding her hand, he led her back to the village.
"We marry soon," Arnporr said as they stopped at her father's hut.
Ead smiled. "Yes, I'd like that."
He kissed her once more and then disappeared into the woods.
The following day, Arnporr appeared at her father's door, anxious. When Haerviu stepped out to meet him, the two walked away with Winfrid falling in step behind them. Ead watched as the two men talked and began shaking their heads in agreement, all with Winfrid's help in translating of course. Then turning back toward their home, Haeerviu called out to Ead. "Daughter, I'll speak with your mother but we will move your wedding forward. I'll give your mother three days to prepare. the women can help her with the feast. Arnporr does not wish to wait longer. Ead looked past her father to see Arnporr watching her anxiously. He relaxed measurably when she smiled at him and nodded to her father in agreement. "I am happy, Papa. Three days then."
Haerviu turned to Arnporr and nodded agreement. Ead was taken aback by the broad smile that broke onto his face, lighting his eyes and making her world so much brighter.
That night, Ead overheard her grandmother speaking with her parents. "But he is much older than she, your age no doubt." Ead assumed that was directed at her father. "She will be left without a man early."
"We all risk that Mama," Ead heard her mother say quietly. "Every time Haerviu goes into battle, I risk it."
"Yes Aofie, but you've had many years with my son. Her time with him might be very short," the old woman said.
"Mama," Haerviu sighed. "He and his people will be allies instead of enemies. And Ead is happy with him. She wants to marry him."
" And we must face the truth about her, with her odd preferences most men will not be interested. I do not worry about suitable matches for her sisters but I do worry about Ead. She would rather be a warrior than a woman. I believe Arnporr will satisfy both sides of her," Aofie added.
"Alright then; I can see I am our numbered here. But if the worst happens and this proves to be a bad match, I will tell you that I told you so."
"Alright," Aofie said. "That's fine, because it won't happen."
Ead drifted to sleep thinking about what her mother said. Yes, Arnpoor would satisfy both sides of her... very much so.
