Chapter 5
Orophin let out a hearty laugh as Amarië completely missed the target and watched as the arrow hit the ground with a soft thud. "No, No, you're doing it all wrong. Here let me show you again." Orophin gently took the bow and arrow from her and took his stance. "See, you must keep your feet wider apart and stand tall. Strong back and focus." Orophin let the arrow fly from his bow and smiled as his arrow hit the target directly center. Amarië rolled her eyes and shoved him playfully. "Show off." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "Let me try again." Orophin nodded and watched her take her stance. He nodded in approval. "Good, now stand tall and release." Amarië did as she was told and smiled widely as her arrow hit the target. It wasn't perfect but at least she actually hit the target this time. Orophin gave her a proud smile and scooped her up, swinging her around in his arms. "You will make a fine little warrior yet." Amarië giggled and squeaked as he swung her around. "Orophin!" "You put me down now!" She gave him a stern look but soon broke into another fit of giggles as he gave her the most silly, love struck grin.
"Ai!, what am I supposed to do with you?" she said and kissed his lips deeply. Orophin smiled and gently bumped his nose against hers. "You know you love it, despite all your protesting." Amarië giggled and kissed him passionately. "True." Orophin sighed deeply as her lips became deeper and more aggressive with his.
He gave her one last kiss and gently pushed her away, smiling a bit as a pout came over her lips. "Remember what I said Amarië, I won't do anything with you until we marry." She sighed and cuddled close to him. "I know, but a whole month seems so far away." Orophin laughed and tickled her softly. "It isn't that far meleth, trust me, we shall be wed by the end of this month and you shall be sick of me before you know it."
Amarië smiled and kissed his neck. "I haven't grown tired of you yet and I never will."
Orophin sighed and held her close. Things seemed so right with her. They were like missing puzzle pieces that had finally found their match. "Come on meleth, we need to be getting back." Amarië nodded rather reluctantly and took his hand in hers, slowly walking back to her talan.
