I should be sharing that tent with her. Right now.
I sighed, imagining how things should have gone. She should have been overtaken by the mate bond as I was. She should have accepted me immediately. She should have taken my desperate cock and...
I grunted as my cock thickened, pressing into the hard stone of the ledge. My tail thwapped in annoyance, making Togo stir where he was asleep nearby.
I kept staring at the tent as night trudged on around us. The moons rose higher and higher, trekking across the sky.
Still, she did not emerge.
Part of me had hoped that the mate bond was just... Late. That it would explode inside her without warning and she’d come running out searching for me that way I had journeyed over the sands to search for her.
It never happened.
I suppose I must admit that, somehow, for the first time in my life, I have been found lacking.A few days ago, such an idea would have been unthinkable. I perked up a little.Perhaps she rejects me because I am too perfect.
But no. I was a clever Gahn. None who knew me could call me a fool. Which meant I would not soothe myself with excuses like that. Besides, I could not make myself less perfect if I tried.
Hmm... Perhaps I can make myselfmoreperfect. Even stronger, even more impressive for her.
I was not exactly sure how such a specimen as myself could possibly improve much. But if anyone could build strength upon strength, it would be me.
I leaped up, inspired by my new plan.
And got to work.
I started training with my blades, swinging the weapons through the air over and over and over. Honing every pose, every strike, into something even deadlier than before.
Then, I created a target out of desert valok, firing arrow after arrow into its perfect centre no matter how far back I moved.
At one point, Togo cracked open three of his six eyes, watching me.
“You could train, too,” I panted, firing four arrows in rapid succession. “I cannot appear to have a weak and lazy mount.”
Togo squawked indignantly at me, rustling his massive feathered wings.
“Fine,” I ground out, jogging to retrieve my arrows from the target. “You sleep, then. I suppose I don’t want you stealing my mate’s attention anyway.”
Togo made another offended sort of sound before closing his eyes and ducking his head back down against his body to sleep.
I did not sleep. I kept going.
I trained with such vigour and focus that I did not notice dawn split the sky. I only saw the change in light when I hoisted a boulder atop my shoulders and noticed the shadows cast down onto the dusty red ledge.
Gritting my fangs, I moved closer to the edge of the ledge, the massive boulder on my back.
I squatted, then straightened, heaving under the weight of the boulder.
This weight is nothing, I told myself as the muscles in my leg contracted into another squat.This is nothing for a Deep Sky Gahn.
As the sun climbed higher and illuminated the settlement, people began to emerge from their tents. The Sea Sand people, those who looked up and noticed me, paid me little mind, as if I were some odd feature of the landscape that required no further thought.
The new women, though, were another story.
As they came out, one by one, they gathered in a little group, staring up at me through dark eye-shells. They spoke to each other. Of course, I could not hear them from this height. But I imagined they spoke with reverent awe at finally seeing the strength of a Deep Sky Gahn.
Unfortunately, I could tell my mate was not among them.
Pity. All this training was to impress her, after all.I should time this better next time. Maybe train right outside the opening of her tent, so my thick, strong thighs and heaving chest are the first thing she sees when she emerges in the morning...
