Back Story

I close my eyes and start to fall back to sleep quickly, mumbling, "Maybe so, but I'd be lost without you as my beacon of light," as I drift back off.

I leave to sleep but slumber evades us. Hark! The party calls. Jagres!

I wake with a start. Elven curses leave my lips, "Love we need to hurry!" Quickly, I don my armor, a bit scared as the realization of fighting pregnant starts to hit me, but I don't have time to focus on it as our friends need assistance. Seeing you putting on your armor still, I slide down the rope just enough to be in the action. After a few moments, I quickly shimmy back in yelping. I look at you, "Ummm babe? The big kitties has claws on tentacle tails. Help please?" then shimmy back down to just be in the action.

Not taking the long minute it takes to don plate mail, I jump to follow my wife. Through the dimension hole and onto the back of a beast. Too many turns at the two backed beast tonight to be doing this, but duty calls!

Once we enter our dimension again, we head straight for the bath, mainly to clean Storm’s blood off of me. Once clean, we share our post-battle embrace. We’re both exhausted from the mid night battle. As we crawl into bed, I joke about your cat scratches and fighting cats, which we both laugh at. Quickly, we fall asleep snuggled up to each other.

The next morning, we rise and prepare for the day. As we get dressed, I tell you, "I’ve been thinking... Storm would be so excited with the news of our little squish and although Teth acts aloof, I think she’d be happy for us too. We should pull them aside at some point when Kon and Jacob aren’t looking and tell them. I think they could keep that secret for us. Besides, we’re both so excited about our little addition, why not share it with someone?" I smile brightly at you as you agree. Before leaving, I stop you and give you a long, lingering, loving kiss. I look up at you sweetly and say, "Should anything happen today, be safe and careful. I love you more than anything." And with the request made, she shimmies down the rope to join the party.

"Wait one more minute." I tell you as you break away from your kiss and tell me to be safe. I pull you back into my arms. My hands run down your back and hold your ass possessively. Closing my eyes, I breathe you in. I smell your natural scent and linger on it. I kiss your neck, biting lightly into your neck to taste your skin. Brushing my cheek against your cheek, I open my eyes and stare into your eyes, still questioning what it is I want. "I want to hold this sense of you throughout the day, love. You are my everything, and now you are the mother of my child, too. We do not need to rush out like last night. Hold me and feel my need to hold you. Let us enjoy this second alone together, as a couple and as a family. I chose you. You chose me. It was a simple decision at first, and now I could not see any way to choose anything else. Your feel and smell and taste and look are the only solid thing in this world that I can hold onto for this whole day until I can have you again tonight in my bed as my wife. Let us wait just one more minute, love."

With tear filled eyes, I nodded in agreement to your statement. I wasn’t usually this emotional about things. Was it the hormones already? Was it the fear of how serious this journey has become after last night? Was it the pure love for this man that she felt and that he obviously felt for her? Probably a mixture of it all, nevertheless, she held onto him. She closed her eyes and stayed in his arms for what left like centuries. The overwhelming love caused her to start crying. "I never thought I’d have anything like this, anything! And yet, here you stand holding me. We are the everything the other needs, and soon to be not just for ourselves, but for our own child as well. I keep waiting for the part where I wake up from a dream. Yet, I wake up each day and enjoy your eyes on me or leaving our quiet place here and seeing you with the rest of our party. You’re the first person I want to see when I start my day and you’re the last person I want to touch at the end of each night.

Choosing you was the easiest decision of my life. Thank you for choosing me too." I look up at you and I feel the tears drop from my cheeks. I mentally blame it on hormones, but I know that I’m relaxing into showing my affection. Not only for this man, but some of our party as well. I love you so much, I hold on to you for as long as we both desire and enjoy the moment as you requested, both as a couple and as a family.

Front Door

Let’s wait one more minute love,
I say as you break your kiss.
And tell me be safe today.
I hug you in tight to me.

My eyes close, I breathe you in,
Your natural scent I smell.
I nuzzle beneath your hair,
Your skin to be tongued and bit.

My cheek to yours, eyes open
To stare upon, eyes so deep.
I want to possess this sense
Throughout this day long, of you.

No need to go rushing out,
To me may you hold and cry.
Please feel my need. Hold me tight.
Enjoy this one tick of dawn.

Your touch so soft. Taste so sweet.
Your scent and looks strike me low.
Transfixed me, my day so long
This sense that gives Strength, and Hope

Until such time. Night returns,
And you dear, in bed I take
Again as my wife I wed.
Let’s wait one more minute love.

Awwwww! My heart!

"Oh!" After several minutes more than the just one more that had been requested, I pull away and set my pack on the ground. I pull out a scroll and put my pack back on my back. Eagerly, I stand back up and hand it to you. You take it with a curious look on your face and start to open it, but I quickly put my hands on top of yours. "I forgot to give this to you before we dressed, but I wrote this for you this morning before you awoke. I was going to save it for a special moment, but with your desire to have me as we are longer, this feels just as good as any special moment. Save it for a moment when you need a smile or love or to just feel like us at any point in the day. I love you." Curious though you are, you stash it away, giving me another tight hug and deep kiss before we finally let our moment pass and continue on with our day.

I watch as you go out and I hesitate a moment longer. I am like a kid in the candy store, so I open the scroll immediately to read it, my stomach full of butterflies. As I read the words, my heart melts always into the shape of one of your ring's diamonds, leaning into yours. Your words are clear and practical, yet hopeful in the best of ways. Are we that normal? Maybe. It is so hard to live this fantastic life as heroes and see us as normal, but we are and I love it. You call me a gent. You have never called me that before. We see ourselves through different eyes every day and I love the new details I see in you. I roll the scroll up and put it into the straps of my leather gherkin over my heart, before placing my chest plate on top to protect it and my heart. As sturdy as the metal armor is, I risk my heart anyways, not holding anything back, so I can see you happy right now. I look out the rope trick and watch as my wife goes to spread love and harmony amongst the party in that magical way you have. I miss you already, but hold your sense with me for the day ahead. Still, I feel my ring, wanting to touch you again and think, "You are my light and ray of sunshine, my love, my Kitty."

Without breaking eye contact as I talk to Storm and Teth, I smile wider than I already am as I think back, "I am yours and you are mine and don’t you forget it."

As we all ride to the first city they come across, I think back to before we met the party. Using our beautiful rings, I tell you as you have your arms around me, riding behind me on the horse as I'm starting to enjoy that, "You know love, I was reading thinking back to right before we arrived at Baya after dealing with Elena, right before we met these goons. You were such a wolf! You still are, but in a more loving way. But that's not the point I was trying to make.

The point of me telling you this mentally is to point out how far we've come. I had forgotten that I'd tried to explain my desire to pleasure others for my own pleasure, and at the time, you didn't fully understand that. But look at us now! I realized that I was able to show you what that meant for me and you're able to both see that part of me and explore your own pleasures too. We're already growing as mates."

I listen to the thoughts of my precious wife and smile. It is so hard to embrace you in this plate armor, but I do my best to hug and snuggle you into my chest as Spirit stands firm before the city walls. I answer you, "Kitty my darling, my old and new love, I am so happy to hear that our love is growing. It seems almost impossible that love that once filled my heart can be even more today and more tomorrow, but I am a convert.

I feel your reluctance still to talk about your past abuser. There is still pain there. I shared my Quelali past, and I know that it haunts me still, but you know how to heal me. You named our village after her, not to hide my scars, but to celebrate them. A New Dawn. A new time for us and our children.

And now we are becoming better mates in this journey? I rejoice. You and I shall run to the highest mountains and declare our love. We will bring family into the fold of accepting us, we will take the gods’ blessings from the largest temple in all of Maztica.

Better still, we will whisper our love to each other every pillow talk,"

I follow you up the rope trick thankful at last to escape the sounds of the city and Hungary to finally touch my wife again. "After an ordeal filled day in this city torn apart at the seams, I was concerned about how this would affect you Kitty, for after all, this was the first Maztica city that you have seen, and this is not seeing the mass throngs at its best. I know your empathy and emotions are indomitable but any empathy can be a liability in a place like this. I’m proud of you. I love you Kitty." I duff the armor my armor and help you out of yours and give you that long sought for hug, skin to skin, followed by a much dreamed about passionate kiss. I don’t hide the hunger in my eyes for you. My hands run down your necks and shoulder blades to find your muscles tense with the stress of the day. "Love! Dear! You are tense. Your back is full of knots Let me massage you now that I can indulge you. Please. Lay down." You do not refuse such touches. You lay your naked body on the bed, stretching your arms out and smiling at your lustful husband. A single look thrills me. This display of your offering drives me wild. Though my eyes display my wolffish desires, I persuade my body that quakes to focus on loving you through the massage. I settle you on several pillows and use my gentle fingers to adjust your neck so you can relax under my ministrations and still breath in the soft linens. I take my own exhausted body and straddle your thighs, not unaware that my penis has reacted to you. I reach for a stoppered bottle of oil that I keep by the bed and warm some in my hands by rubbing them with my hands. A few cold drops fall on your back and you gasp. "Sorry love, let me want the oil and make my hands sink into your skin without rubbing." I apply my palms up your back, slick now with the scented and warm oil. I lean down as I do so and kiss your cheek turned to me, my chest touching your back, my hips rocked into your ass, my hardness pressed against you. I continue silently working your shoulders and arms down to your fingers and out, letting those negative energies dissipate away from you. I work my fingers on and under your shoulder blades and find the source of those knots that you put their with your worrying. I massage the muscles and press my thumb onto the knot, working it deeper as you moan with the release. As I circle my thumbs to dissolve the knots one by one, I stoke my other hand up your necks and under your hair, tingling the skins and nerve ending there. "Relax. Let him take your troubles and exorcise them.". Once you are exhausted from my work, I drape my fingers down your back again and rock myself up on my knees to place them between your thighs this time. My hands work the deep soft muscles of your ass. I work around to the front of your hips that rest in the bed and lift you so that my penis that you have felt all this time, could slide under you as I rock forward and back against you. I do not apologize for mixing my loving touches of my hand and my showing of my need. "I want you Kitty." As I reach my arms around you hips, I touch your mound with my oiled fingers, I massage my penis on you until my precum and your wetness can mix and allow me to slide directly into your canal as I groan. One hand slides up to your neck and up into your hair as I lean onto your back so that that my thighs can push against my knees, my toes dug deep into the mattress to give me resistance to my thrusts. I continue to take you as I listen for the rhythm of your breathing and moans. My love making is focused on your pleasure but I give in to my growing need to plant more seed into your already fertilized womb. I know the hormones are already changing you into a mother. You need sex to feel the changes. You need loving touches and love from your husband and I am more than willing to touch and fuck and protect you from any fears that tell you otherwise. I love on you. I grow my souls intertwined with yours. I release my cum into you and maintain my touching as long as I can do you can take as much pleasure as you can. As the sweat builds on your back I see you follow me in a sweet orgasm.

Smiling as you speak starting off, I respond, "I love you too. It's not easy, things shouldn't be this way. Those poor people! That fortune teller really got into my head." The skin to skin hug was a welcomed feeling. At the offer of a massage, I can't pass that up! Eagerly laying down, I enjoy feeling your presence. The oil is cold and it startles me, but your warmth afterwards was a very welcomed feeling. I feel your excitement, but the tension leaving my body is lovely and I don't want to miss a second of the relaxation as their entrance into the city had been stressful. It's never nice to have a lot of arrows aimed at you, your husband, your friends, and your child. As you shift and start to get a bit frisky with your massage, I smirk knowing where you're going with this. You're my mate, I knew it would lead to here anyways, and I wasn't going to complain about it. I moan lightly into the pillow at the expression of your need for me. It gets me just as excited as all of the touches. With my hips a bit in the air and your arms around me, I grab onto the pillow, moaning with excitement as you massage me more in my most sensitive of places. The feeling of you entering me makes the moans even louder. I feel full and I love it! Your hand comes into my hair and I feel your body on mine and I surrender to the pleasure of your touch, your skin, your body on and in my own. Every motion is heightened and euphoric in pleasure. I know every second is another way of you expressing your love for me and I surrender completely into it, allowing myself to feel the love, begin moan even louder, my breath to quicken, and myself to finally release after you find your own.

As we lay there afterwards, once our breathing calms, I feel your kiss on my back, just below my neck. We adjust into a much more relaxed position to cuddle with each other. "My love, thank you. I didn't realize you'd picked up on my need to just... let go."

After loving cuddles for a bit, I start to swirl my fingers through the hair on your chest. "My love, how is your heart? I know, well I think the world knows with how swiftly you sliced that man in half, that it couldn't have been easy to see me suddenly helpless. Which thank you for protecting me! But are you okay?" I look up at you finally with concern filled eyes. I know that it was scary enough for me but I also want to make sure that you're okay too as it's not easy to see your partner defenseless and vulnerable to the attack of others.

Not being able to stop touching you, I constantly run my fingers up and around your neck and shoulders, running the back of finger up your cheeks and under your hair. "I have to have physical touch too every day or I start to lose my mind for you. When we get busy with the work that we do and the people we must talk to carry on this quest, I miss your closeness, your shy glances, the way your face lights up when you smile or have a wicked thought. Please Kitty please, keep running your fingers in my chest hair. I don’t think you know it, but that’s the most pleasurable touch you do. Truly better than even sex. You are welcome to do that any time.". I gaze lovingly at you but with the same concerns with which you regard me. I think about your questions as to my thoughts. I was under the impression that my love and motivation to protect you were abundantly clear, but then again, maybe they are not clear, even to myself. "My love? You and world knows I will protect you. I’m ... I’m sorry that I had to come to your rescue and waste all my energy on that one blow to the cleric when you were facing a deadly vampire. I didn’t even stop to think. I saw you helpless. I knew I could rescue you and it didn’t matter that a thug could cut me while I came to you. It didn’t matter because I could help you. And then when I came upon the cleric, I wanted him to see how much he can hurt by touching you when thinking back, he was just protecting his love in the same way I was. I didn’t stop to think that you could snap out of the spell on your own. It was just my need that I was satisfying. My need to do something. I was the one helpless. I was trapped far away from you. I couldn’t even call my friends to go help you. I could only watch as the two of them ganged up on you, after you had gone and confronted them. I knew I wanted to do something, and by these divine powers I did. I smote him in twain for you and broke his spell. When at last I could pick you up and hug you after we routed the thugs and vampire, I didn’t want to let go. I love you that much. And I knew that I would be able to keep holding you here tonight when you again had to get down off Spirit and interrogate that thug. Am I too attached, love? Do you feel restricted by my protection? If it were up to me, we would be back at Quezalici right now, preparing our nest and touching and making love and getting ready for our child. Yet here we are, traveling farther and farther away into stranger countries and amongst danger untold. We use our telepathic link to stay in touch, but it isn’t really touch is it? I must look at you from afar and wonder about you. I have my sense of you that I take, but my heart longs for this, our touch unrestrained and unbridled, our love manifest." I hold your delicate hand, and place it’s palm up to my lips. I breathe in the scent of your rich brown skin and look up into your deep sea eyes still soft with concern for me, wanting to protect me from your troubles. "Don’t you see love? We love each other. We are there for each other always. We need not worry about protecting each other and feeling guilty. We are protecting our us, the holy bond between us, the family that we are. I am so happy with you, both the Kitty of the party’s leadership and also the Kitty of the private need. I am protecting us and I am sorry that I show it off. I can‘t help myself, nor should I. Let the world know that Duke loves Kitty. Let it be known that I will do everything I can to see to it were are together forever. I shall never tire of you. I shall never put down this armor nor lower this shield to the outside world, but to you, here, I am exposed. I trust you and care for your touch. Keep touching me, love, while you tell me more about your day, your feelings."

I smile at you, that loving smile that you enjoy as I play nonstop with your hair. "I quite need our physical touch too. I love that we can come back here every night and doff our armor along with the roles that we maintain with the party." I listen to your words and love you more for it. Without stopping my hand in your hair, I sit up onto my elbow to look at you. "I’m not sure why you’re apologizing. You did what I’m sure all of us expected. I’m not enthusiastic that you got hurt to do so, but I’m just happy that the three of us are okay. And I’m sorry that I got off of Spirit, maybe it’s the hormones but that thug just pissed me off! And no, you’re not too attached and I don’t feel restricted. I was scared honestly, it’s terrifying knowing I have to take care of more than just my own life now, but I can still handle a little danger. I don’t look it but I can take a hit or two, but I love that you’re never too far and that you’ll always be here to protect me. You’re no longer seeking to fulfill an oath to a goddess, but instead are seeking to protect your wife and child. Do you know how much I love you for that?"

I look at you lovingly as you kiss my hand. "I too would love to go back home and prepare and love each other, it’d be a lot safer than what we’re doing. But we have each other and our party to make sure we're all okay at the end of the day. Please don’t apologize for showing your love. Hell, if you ask me, you should get your fill of affection even if we’re out on the road, not just here. I too live for your touch at the end of the day and I have no plan to stop touching you. I love you. Both of you," I add as I look down to my stomach and back at you. I lean forward and lovingly make out with you, sharing my love and joy with you.

In between makeout sessions and relaxing on my chest sessions and playful wrestle sessions, we console and rediscover our love. "Your love is very apparent. And yes, I want to express it more on the road than we do, because I need it and so do you, yes? The group now expects it even. I haven't heard a single comment about it recently. They seem to accept us as their romantic side line, but to me, we will always be the reason for everything. You certainly are to me. And please, dear, be the gutsy pirate that you are and feel free to take risks like you do. I know you can take a hit and I can be there soon enough to feel like the hero. We should be free to grow and become great characters in this novel of ours. I don't want to hold us back from taking on the world. We can't just sit in our home we create in New Dawn. There will always be a threat to defend against unless we play the idealists and change the world. Wouldn't it be great if Jacob could bring about peace like he says he wants to. I worry that Passion Flower was right though, and he will create a loveless world where the under privileged will be even more down trodden than we have seen today. Was that really what she saw in the cards? I certainly hope it is not as bleak as that. Your cards gave me hope. I am a firm believer that we can manifest our future and I want that future to be as bright for us and our child as I can imagine." I feel you body on top of me and beside me and spooning me. I do not know if you do not fall asleep while I talk, but it does not matter. This is our bed and you can do with me as you want to do with any pillow. "I know you need to have your rest to make the changes in your body to make a home for 10 months for our child. I can't wait until you feel her kick inside of you! Have you thought of any names yet? And our wedding! We have so much to plan."
