Zenora

Emily’s point of view:

When Brock’s aching hunger for my body was finally satisfied, it was dawn already. He had gone downstairs to get us some food since I couldn’t move one muscle and my stomach was growling. When he came back with food for the both of us, I ate two peaches and a bun with some leftover chicken from last night’s dinner, which we had skipped.

He then took me in his arms and laid me down under the sheets and I fell asleep between his strong muscles. Even though he had been a beast, only moments ago, his touch and the warmth of his body soothed me perfectly.

After a few hours I assumed, I woke up from a ray of sunshine which shone through a sliver of unclosed curtains. The sun was at its highest point now, so it must be midday already. But I did not care, I laid in the arms of my lover. So happy that I was, that I couldn’t imagine my life without him anymore.

When we went to sleep several hours ago, I had a sore, burning pain between my legs from all the sex we had. But now I could only slightly feel where he had been, due to the quick healing abilities of a Zenoran human. Never had I been touched so much and with so much passion as Brock had done all night and it created a smile on my face that no one could take away from me.

Slowly, I turned myself around to face him, trying to not wake him up. This was the first time he actually slept in my bed and I woke up next to him. I looked at his body, so muscular and fierce, yet also very gentle and loving. I couldn’t hold my urges inside of me and touched his chest with my fingers, running along the curves of his muscles. Barely touching his nipples they got tense and I stifled a chuckle because of it. Quickly, I checked to see if he was still asleep, which he was, so I continued my research. I touched every muscle of his torso, gently feeling how rock solid they were, while covered in a silky smooth skin. Then I felt something brush up against my knees and I lifted the covers to see what it was. Wow! His majesty had woken up, how could he do this after his draining sessions from last night? I reached down, touching the muscles right above his masculinity and his upper thighs. Teasing his skin to make it feel the torture of my touch.

“I could wake up like this every morning, love.” He softly spoke as I got red cheeks when I looked him in the eyes. “Don’t feel ashamed, my body is yours to touch whenever you want.” He chuckled and I asked him when he woke up. “I already was, before you turned around.” He said.

“You let me think you were still asleep! Cocky bastard!” I said with a smirk and bummed my fist against his chest.

He chuckled again. “Yes, I was curious about what you would do, and I liked where your mind went.” He grinned and then quickly laid on top of me and suddenly Anna came bursting in, together with Miles.

“Shit! I didn’t hear a thing so I thought you weren’t in here, General!” She tried to come up with a lame excuse. “Well, now that I have barged in here anyways and seemed to have interrupted another scene of loud screaming… Chop, chop, out of bed you two. We need to get talking.” She just demanded of us while clapping her hands.

At first, I wanted to throw her out of my room and continue what Brock and I had started again, but then I realized I wanted to talk to her and the others as much as she did. And Natalya too, of course! Not forgetting what I had seen yesterday. I looked Brock in the eyes and nodded him to get out of bed, at which he grunted loudly so that Anna could hear him.

“I don’t care, General, the whole castle could hear you two, finishing several times. You’ve consumed enough of her time for a week!” At which I got flushing red cheeks of shame, but also laughed at the same time, at the way she yelled at Brock. Brock reluctantly kissed me and got out of bed and when Anna had turned around, he took on his pants and left the room.

“Patience and courtesy are not your strongest skills, Anna.” I said to her, but she just shrugged her shoulders at my comment and continued to walk further into the room.

We had spent the rest of the day, eating and talking about everything that had happened when we weren’t together. Of course, I had to share some details of what Brock and I did last night as Anna was practically begging me to tell. She told me it was a joke though that the whole castle could hear us last night, she just wanted to exaggerate it a bit to see my reaction. She had figured out already what ‘Fulfilling the Destiny’ must have meant and since we still weren’t awake after lunch, we had to have been working out several times.

We talked a lot about the other things as well. About what happened before they entered the portal when they were being chased by a small pack of Orcs, and the moment they got attacked again, after passing through the portal, where Dolly had been shot. Anna had soothed me while I cried over missing my dear dog, and Miles never left my side the rest of the day. The gentle giant even started to brush my leg, asking me to pet him, whenever I was crying.

Of course, the event at the Riptide Chasm was one of the subjects too, as well as the part of what happened in the forest and what my destiny really entailed.

In between stories we also had to move Rhydon to a better location for him to roam around. As he was still lying in front of the castle’s gates and was pretty much blocking the complete entrance. He now got a pasture behind the castle to graze and servants brought him a lot of fruit as well. So, he was happy there.

Anna told me that Archeops had spoken to my father and Dennis yesterday about everything that happened, so they were up to date also.

“Are you coming to see me, or is Anna demanding all your time now?” Cirilya spoke to me in my mind at which I smiled.

“Cirilya wants to see me now, could you take me to her?” I asked Anna and she guided me to one of the guest rooms where she stayed. Miles jumped on her bed and laid his head on Cirilya’s stomach. I guess he got fond of her during the time I wasn’t with them. Cirilya sat up higher in bed and I gave her a good hug, but she felt weak and hot though. She grunted as she moved her body, was she still in pain? Her wound should have been pretty much healed by now.

“Cirilya, let me see your stomach, please.” I asked her gently. “No need, the doctors said it looked fine. Don’t worry.” She said, but I didn’t believe her.

“Cirilya, don’t argue with me, let me see the wound.” I said firmly now. She really didn’t want me to look, but I didn’t care. Something was up as she was clearly in pain and had a fever too. Reluctantly, she lifted her shirt and I got scared by the sight. The stitches that I had put in, were still there, but the flesh around it was hot red, almost black, and swollen. And in between the stitches, some pus came pouring out as well!

“Why didn’t you tell me this earlier!” I scolded her as I still looked towards her abdomen. But Cirilya didn’t respond, and when I lifted my gaze towards her face, I realized she had fainted.
