Day 5: Favorite Romantic Relationship - Octavia and Lincoln
Octavia.
Everything in his head told him to stay away from her, but he felt himself drawn to the young woman.
She was childish but a spitfire. A bit on the impulsive side as well. His job had been to only observe the Sky People and report on them.
The assignment had been his saving grace. Anya and Indra knew he was growing restless while in the village, so they allowed him this small thing so he could keep to himself. He loved his people and would die for them, but he did not like living among them. Even with a warrior's body, he felt out of place.
It started off simple enough, just watching the Sky People adjust to life on Earth. It had been humorous at times, and frightening at others. They hung that boy that they caught killed the black teen. And they thought his people were savages.
Fate seemed to throw him into odd circumstances when it came to Octavia. Happening upon her at the bottom of the ravine was one. It had been a split second decision once she woke up whether he would help her or not.
He did and told himself it would be just this once. But then she escaped and almost got herself killed by his people. When he locked her in the cave, he didn't expect her to have such a strong reaction to it. She just needed to stay put until he helped her friends.
Helping her turned out to bite him in the ass, since he was knocked out twice, kidnapped, and tortured.
She was daring. That was one of the things that drew him to her. Cutting herself with his poisoned blade was a bold move that forced his hand.
She was right. He wouldn't let her die.
Her brother kept them separate, but she snuck in when she could. When she cleaned him up, he could feel their connection humming. His body responded to her, and he couldn't understand why.
She was young and impulsive. He should have run for the hills the moment he laid eyes on her, but here he was letting her clean him. She felt it too. He could tell.
Her body language and wandering eyes told him that she felt the pull too. It was what convinced him to kiss her when she freed him.
He didn't return to the cave for a few days. It was the first place they would come looking for him, so he waited. On the fourth day, she was waiting for him.
They just stared at each other until she strode over to him and kissed him soundly.
That was how it all started. She would sneak out of her camp at night and come visit her. He started teaching her how to defend herself some nights, and other nights they explored each other's bodies.
About a week into their affair, she broached the topic of sex. She knew he wanted it, but he had been careful not to push her into anything. Once he was sure that she wanted to go through with it, he gave her some herbs to prevent pregnancy.
The next time they met, they had sex for the first time. It was slow and torturous for her, since he was ever so careful not to hurt her. It took a few more times for her to convince him that he could be rougher with her.
Then on her people's holiday, she came to visit him. It was the last night where everything had been peaceful.
He hated to think of all the near death experiences they both had, but now they were both alive and together. Mount Weather was gone for good, and they were still living.
Neither one of them are sleepy when they get back, so they make love. Slow, passionate, and intense sex. They don't want to talk about everything that happened, so they work out their frustrations in more pleasurable ways.
She straddles his lap as their tongues caress each other. His hand is between them, forcing her climax to come sooner. She clenches him tightly as she comes, and he is not far behind her.
Sloppy kisses are placed on his neck and chin, and he smiles against her hair. Pushing it behind her ears, he looks into her eyes.
"Octavia, you are the world to me," he says before kissing her lightly on the lips. He had been through hell and back to make sure that he always came back to her, and he would continue doing so.
"I love you, Lincoln," she replies before taking his hand and kissing each one of his fingers.
He caresses her face and brings her in for another kiss. He wasn't sure what they were going to do now that they were exiled from the TriKru, but they would face their future together.
