i gazed up at saf as she 'staked her claim' and it left me with a complicated feeling
on one hand I knew that it would be this way before reciprocating her kiss and on the other was apprehension of the unknown
I dreamt of a real willing relationship in my previous life but...
saf would be more....bolder in her advances towards me and my....skill would definitely put me in a more passive position in the relationship
I was also uncertain about going too far too fast both emotionally and physically as even now my past still greatly huants me
my thought are broken as a ray of morning light passes through the vine wall and shine on saf making her seem almost divine as her figure is highlighted in my vison.. and all my previous thoughts come to a halt
there I'm reminded of safs beauty....
how the light shines through the shirt (that had rolled back down during our make out session) and outlined her curves...
the way her skin seemed to take on a glow of its own
how the parts of her body that was in contact with me was the warmest and softest experience I ever felt
i stare into safs beautiful, shinning purple eyes. how there was nervousness in them even now
slowly closed my eyes
I couldn't keep looking at her like this and think straight.....also I couldn't bring myself to look as I slowly nodded my head to her earlier question..
saf was quite...⁴ not moving
I thought she might not have understood my response and opened my eyes.....
only to see saf with tears running down her face
" nova..i- " hic* " .. thank yo- " sob* "... this... this means..... I will definitely make sure you don't regret this!!..nova....I... " she tried to say many things only to stop and restart again
I myself didn't know what to say exactly as this was all new to me so I just did what I thought was natural in this situation
I slowly raised my hands, one to her back the other to s shoulder and pulled her to me
she came willing... only to cry harder once she was lying on my chest in ny embrace
.. I had to deal with how her breathing and the way her head moved paralyzed my body of course... still I just laid there with her on my chest letting her cry and holding her gently
..
once she stopped crying she wrapped her arms around me a tight hug before raising her head again
" since we are... official... can I kiss you again? " she asked with anticipation
l looked at her... before nodding my head
she smiled at me through her tears, before bending back down to claim my lips again...this time she didn't try to put her tongue in my mouth just pressed her lips lightly to mine
her tears seeped into our lips making the kiss wet and slightly salty
she raised her head looking at me again with a new light before unwrapping her hands....to brush her tears from my lips
" I'm so happy right now....words alone can't describe what I'm feeling ,...I will do my best to make you happy " she said giving me one more peck before finally getting back up off the makeshift bed
I stay on the bed coming to terms that I just ...acquired a girlfriend
i watching as saf went to her bag before looking at me " still no bath huh? "
I absentmindedly shook my bed and she sighed before changing into a new set and saying " we are going to have to wash our cloths soon im running out of clean ones "
I nodded finally getting up, I still had clean ones but still I didn't really like traveling with dirty cloths
i sat on the bed and watched as saf got drssed slowly as if to put on a show for me. starting off by taking off her shirt making sure to pose when she got it off and when she bent over to get a clean shirt
I swallowed as her patines was still a skew and I got a different angle of view of her lower lips that was slightly parted due to her panties pulling it on one side
she straighted and again slowly put on her shirt before bending to retrieve her pants
I stood and sped walked out the cave not be able to look anymore at her antics
once outside I took a deep breath and released it to clear my lingering thoughts and walked to the stone grill over the cooking fire I set up last night
seeing that the Stone was heated and the coals of the fire glowing a deep red I placed the meat I set to the side on it
to go with the meat I took out some bread and fruit for a simple meal
saf came out soon and sat next to me on the stone seat I found while out looking for leaves for the beds (which I didn't use....technically)
I was still a bit apprehensive about the whole relationship thing but I would not reject her like I did in the past, so I said nothing even when she scooted closer pressing her side to mine on the pretense of look at the cooking meat
" wow nova, it smells nice..although.. we're is the reast of it? I know this can't be all from how big that beast was " saf said remembering the big bear and looking at the amount of meat on the cooking slab
" no... I smoked the rest of the meat and saved the fur. I don't know what to do with it but I could have someone make a few coats of maybe even two cloaks from it " I said
" why nit just make it into a nice fluffy blanket for times like this where we might me in the forest at night, we can wrap up in it together " saf said and I raised my brows shocked at her suggestion
" what?....I like sleeping with you, and if it's cold at night we can ....warm ourselfs under it. plus it's the first beast we killed together " she said
technically I killed it but I get what she means
I nod after thinking about it while flipping the meat
..
..
.
once we had our fill on fruits and meat we clean up all traces of us being there and start back on our journey to malimar
we got thrown off track during last night's flight as i just picked a direction a flew, but looking at the map we were able to make up lost ground and soon found our way back to the main road
we had to pass back by the village which was very lively with angry females throwing curses around and searching everywhere in the morning light
we had to conceal ourselves from them while shadow traveling past
getting over that hurdle it was smooth sailing down the raid to the border city
..
.
for once we didn't arrive at night to the city
to try and get more comfortable around saf I took the liberty of shadow traveling with her as I could go further and had more magic. plus i didn't want to see her exhausted again from using so much magic
we didnt know if they might have to fight for some reason or another so best to be safe than sorry but she was still a bit peeved about it
still it was late afternoon once when arrived in from of the city gates of malimar to line up behind others waiting admission....
I could see that here there was a differnt kind of females scattered around here and I could feel a sort of connection with them
they were all extremely gorgeous with fairy wings behind them that different colored specks or dust fell from them when they moved
their eyes held more than one color and was not uniformed amongst them
some of them was floating without flapping their wings playing around and others was off in the woods working, doing something or another
I noticed though that they avoided my gaze. some in fear, others in awe and lastly some with hatered..
..
the line moved pretty fast and soon it was me and safs turn to be ..inspected
I saw that of the guards for the gate, one was a beast kin (a white wolf) and the other one was of the fairy winged females I seen around
I was walking to the wolf kin to go over my purpose in the city when the other female guard make a noise causing me to look at her
saf was in front of her but the guard was staring at me with wide eyes and a open mouth
I mentally swore as from her expression she was about to bring trouble
"y. y. yo.your highness, m.may i ask what brings you to the city....unguarded? " the guards said
your highness?
I was already guessing that these new females where part of the spirit race but how could she know I was related to royalty?..
Anyway i don't want to acknowledge it as this was to open a place and no offense but I don't trust her....
" I'm sorry you have the wrong person, I'm not...whatever you said " I said turning back to the guard in front of me and pass my documentation and money to her
the wolf kin looked over at her partner and then me with a weird expression but still took my money " what bring you to malimar today? " she asked
" just resting before moving on " I said but could feel an uncomfortable stared on my back
" Hey bit&h, why the f@ck are you doing just staring at my lover like that!! "
I was mortified as I hear safs voice from behind me and could see the guard processing me look over in safs direction with a very shocked look
did she have to announce it like that?
turning around I could see saf standing with her arms crossed. papers in one hand and coins in another as she glared ...up? at the fairy guard who was taller than her
the guard is knocked out of her stupor by saf, at first embarrassed by her lack of professionalism but it morphed into a frown " her... highnesses lover?.....do you have the qualifications? " she said looking down on saf
saf was visibly angry by her words and I myself felt... angry? that she just said that to saf
oh no this bit@h was not about to tell me who or what was best for me
I started walking over to them
" you fu#king bit'h!!! how dar- " I stop saf from talking further pulling her behind me as I look up at the guard
" I don't know who you are, what you think you know about me, or whatever your motives are and frankly I couldn't give a f$ck. but I'll tell you this right now...leave me and my..friend alone " my voice was low as I felt a pull on my magic to my eyes as the guard paled and backed up
" I'm sorry your high- "
" STOP!!! " I interrupted her " stop with that...just leave us alone " I said and pulled saf over to the other guard who was watching with a critical eye
" I'm sorry your ....highness, but I can't do that "
I stop in my tracks as the fairy guard appear in our path
??
I could feel a deep frown was on my face
" and why the f%ck not? "
I could feel saf grab onto the back of my shirt as I was still in between her and the bit#h guard
" the royal family no matter what must be protected and even if I never seen you before..the fact that I feel a bloodline suppression from you marks you as a part of the royal family. as such must inform my superior who would assign you a squad of guards to accompany you wherever you may go and if you are really an unknown.. all the more reason to inform other as a ...female possessing the royal bloodline don't happen everyday and is wonderful news " she said but her smile was a bit off
sigh ... so that's how it is....
thanks but no thanks, I don't wish to broadcast my status to the world right now and bring on truoble....and you?..
just no
plus I want to met with my mother directly before saying anything...
the fact is that the only person I have come to trust somewhat in this world is saf.... and I'm willing to give my mother a shot.....but everyone else?
yea no...just the many hidden intentions and blatant ones was enough for me to know I can't trust easily in this world and wanting to have more unknown females around me 24/7 is a no no
what do I do?
I could see she wouldn't give this up and from what she said and spirits would know my lineage from their blood... entering cities in the spirit nation would be a nightmare ....
well first things first I should thank her for the important information
but than again to avoid unnecessary trouble..
for now I know what i must do
" oh I'm sorry, we understand go ahead and do your job " I said to the fairy trying to get her to move so I can retrieve my stuff from the other guard
nodding her head the fairy said " I'm glad you understand. I'll have to go inform them but let's first get you girls to a inn for the night " she said stepping aside, waiting for me to follow her
I look at the other guard and I could have sworn I saw a fleeting pity look in her face
yeepppp that's all the confirmation I need that whatever or whoever she may represent either openly or secretly didn't have good intentions for me or saf
I grabbed my papers back from the guard who held on to my papers a bit longer than needed as I already was gripping it to put away
I looked up and see a ...warning in her eyes
ookkk
I look over at the fairy standing at the gates opening with a smile " well come on, once we get you settled your protection detail will be there not long after "
making sure saf was still clutching my shirt behind me I channeled my dark magic
the fairy guard eyes widen when she was me using magic " W- "
I shadow travel back to the treeline before hopping a few more times into the spirit nation
once I felt we were far enough from the city I stopped to evaluate the situation with saf
turning around I opened my mouth only to freeze when I saw the fairy guard materializing not far behind us
" Where are you going your highness!! "
