The days passed into weeks, each day began and ended the same for Liana, wrapped in her lovers arms. She knew Rajit'Kal would send her away soon, the uncertainty of her future was frightening but it was a future she would face. None of the fear she felt would be seen, not a single tear shed for what life could be. Nor would Liana allow herself to live with regret, the emotions she felt while making love to Raj were something she would treasure. Resigning herself to being an outcast and to living a difficult life was not welcome but she now accepted it as her fate after many talks with Niabu. She would eventually, several years down the road, try to contact Lady Proudmoore but for now Liana would play the hand delt her.

It was obvious to Liana that she was letting her heart get overly involved. Raj rarely spoke a kind word to her, in truth he never really spoke much of any word at all. The Troll would be gone before Liana woke each day and return late of the evening. The moment Raj would enter the bedchamber they would move into each others arms, the day forgotten the differences left behind, they took part in the pleasures and comfort. Sometimes he would be rough and almost violent in the taking of her body, other times it was gentle and slow. Either way Liana did not mind, she loved the feel of his cock buried deep inside, pushing her body to its limits and to be perfectly fair was rather fond of the moments when he threw her on the bed and took her savagely. It was in those moments she saw who he was, realizing he had such control over the beast within. The beast was always present in his eyes, those amber depths captured Liana and pulled her to him as much as he pulled her physically. Lying to herself was not something Liana was used to but at this point she was not completely aware the feelings she had were those of love, therefore wrote off the connection to other emotions.

Liana had grown fond of Niabu as well. They had shared many a long afternoon talking about life and realizing that both had walked very similar paths over the years. How differently things could have turned out for her new friend if the choices of a free people such a as the allied human, elf, dwarf, gnome and draenie, were shared by all. The Orcs came here a free people but were enslaved and since their freedom had been won they along with their allies struggled to find a new foothold in the world. Liana had never really looked at it in those terms before, maybe one day she could do something to help bridge the gap, though fear and mistrust would always be the bigger enemies.

It had been three weeks almost to the day Raj had told Liana he would be sending her away in two weeks. She was lay in the center of the bed they shared, her white hair spread out across the pillows, her legs tucked under the hem of the overlong tunic she wore. Niabu had given her a few dresses that were almost to short for Liana and her unusual height, she preferred wearing Raj's tunics. A new problem was forming in Liana's mind, one she decided to push aside all together, another worry was not needed at this time.

Raj found her exactly this way, the ache he felt, the need to touch her was overwhelming. She was softly humming while reading a book his sister had given her. He had kept her a week longer than expected and gotten a long lecture again today from his friend over it. He was here to tell the elf they were leaving late in the evening. He had decided to take her himself rather than let Torq take her away, though the Orc would be riding with them for part of the journey. He had to see her settled and made sure she would be safe or so he had convinced himself that was the case. Reality was he wanted to be with her for this last week as they journeyed to her new home.

"Liana" his voice sounded harsh as he spoke

Liana startled from her book, Raj was home early this was it, the day she dreaded. "Yes?"

Why did she look hurt, he had not even told her yet she was leaving yet it was obvious she knew. That hurt ripped at his heart but he had to be strong this, whatever it was they had, would never work. Standing there holding his breath waiting on the right words that would never come was like agony to both himself and to her, better to just spit it out. "We will be leaving a couple hours after dark. If you need to prepare do so now."

"I have nothing of value to prepare Rajit'Kal" she sat up now turning turning away from the troll, fighting to keep her voice even "I will need use of a valise for the borrowed dresses, do you have one I can use?"

Raj crossed the room to the dresser, rummaged through a couple drawers until he found what he was looking for and tossed the small satchel on the bed next to Liana. " I will be back after dark for you. Niabu will bring you a tray of food and an old cloak, you will need to wrap yourself int he cloak and await me on the bed."

Liana did not answer him before he left the room, closing he door behind him. This was it, in a few hours he wold start the journey to her new home, this was not her home and would never be.

The hours slipped past too quick for Liana, Raj was standing in the doorway again, he looked frustrated and angry. She wanted to curl up on this bed and sleep until the pain stopped, I will not cry, I will not cry.

Why did she have to look so hurt, Raj ran a hand through his hair, fighting with the urge to pull her into his arms and kiss away the pain he saw in her eyes. Why did this girl effect him as no other had before, he reached her in two strides threading his hand into her silken hair, what happened next was inevitable. He pulled her head back capturing her mouth with his, the kiss deepened all too quickly, parting lips, his tongue sliding inside for tantalizing exploration. She tasted like honey, intoxicating and sweet, losing control with her was easy, losing himself with her would be perfect. Their movements became urgent, Liana fumbled with the ties on RajitKals pants as he pulled her skirt up around her waist, before lifting and settling her on the bed. Raj entered her easily, once again claiming her body.

Liana broke the kiss, running her tongue across his bottom lip trailing it down his chin to his neck. Raj groaned in response to this new assault on his senses, she was bold, his little elf, not like any other female he had been with. Her soft curves molded to him, completing him, it was scary how easily he had become attached to her, how much it hurt to think this would be the last time he filled her body. She lay fully back onto the bed now stretching her arms above her head, exposing her full breasts to his view. Raj teased the rosy pink nipple of her left breast, causing Liana to cry out.

The spiraling sensations deep in the pit of her stomach had returned, the ache, the heat it was fast consuming, breaking through her body like lightning. Raj found his own release before collapsing on top of Liana.
