“I will go by myself later or you can take me before you go, but I don’t know how much time you’ll be gone, and I don’t want to spend any second elsewhere.” She opens her eyes for the last part. My resolve melts instantly.
How could I ever deny my wife?
Chapter fifteen
Remember Who You Fight For
Aria
Myheadlollsassleep slips from me. I smile when I find the closed eyes of the napping orc whose head is on my belly, large arms are holding me tightly. But the sun is on its last stride headed for the horizon and I know he will have to leave soon.
Today felt like we were back to us again, like we were at our home. We made love all day, breaking for food. It was like we were filling each other’s cup for the separation that is upon us.
In this very moment, I am content, and I have everything I want. And my life is indeed perfect.
I get a wave of anxiety when I hear the footsteps outside our door before the knock completely pulls me out of paradise. I don’t have to ask to know, that is our sign to stop…fondling…and go and join the community.
Igor moves instantly, his eyes finding mine quickly and I smile down at him. He doesn’t. He knows its time. He leans down and kisses my belly.
“I have to go, little orcs, but I will return. Honor your mother while I’m away, okay?” He speaks to my stomach, something he hasn’t done before. I run my fingers through his longer hair. He didn’t cut it the past month or so and it grew a little. At the house he ensured to trim it every second week to keep it just shoulder length.
“We all love you. And remember that we will be right here waiting for you when you return.” I say. He pulls his weight from me and kisses me a lingering kiss.
The knock goes off again, time is really over. We both get dressed. Luckily, we bathed before the nap, and I don’t have to worry about everyone smelling everything we did today.
We leave the chambers, and we find two waiting springs at the door. Igor’s demeanor changes completely.
They follow behind us and we descend the stairs to the assembly area. Most people are going on their days, doing this and that. It seems I’m the only one who was making a big deal about Igor leaving. Igor takes me to Owa and Jani. They welcome us.
“Interesting what they call morning in the human realm, son of Zad.” Owa says.
“We see you. The day got away from us, old orc.” Igor replies.
Owa and Jani give each other knowing looks, and they try to hide their amusement.
“Of course, young one.” Jani says.
“Come this way and let me give you something to drink, King.” Owa says.
King?
Igor moves behind her and no one seems to notice. Maybe she forgot and is speaking like she did yesterday. She is endearing but a little strange, but Igor loves them, and he seems closer to them. He treasures them very much.
He lowers himself to his knees, and I watch in fascination as the old orc brings a basin of unknown concoctions to Igor’s mouth and he drinks. He does all this in his heavy armor that looks just as terrifying as the one he came wearing to rescue me; he looks intimidating and full of authority.
“Good.” Owa says when Igor finishes whatever she gives him.
“Tea?” Jani asks me, and I nod absentmindedly as I watch the scene before me.
Owa dips her thumb on a small mortar, and she smears something that looks like oil on Igor’s forehead.
“There. All ready.” She says, sounding proud of herself. Igor rises with ease, and he gives her a meaningful look. He then comes to me, places my tea on a table, and pulls me to a nearby room.
He stands in front of me, and I can’t help the pride. Igor is really mine and I am his. I lift my hands and touch his face. He closes his eyes briefly.
“Remember who you fight for. I will never accept anything less than this from you, Igor.”
He receives my words then he takes my hands and kisses my wrists and the bracelet. He places his now healed scar on my wrists over the bracelet.
