Aloth awoke with a start. He heard Braith’s voice. He could not make out the words. Was it even Aedryan? What language could it be? “Oww--!” She dug her fingernails into his shoulder. “Braith?” He took a hold of her hand, prying it away from his skin. Braith suddenly tensed her limbs and fought back. “Braith!” Aloth managed to catch a hold of both her wrists and pinned her beneath him. Braith continued to struggle, speaking strange words in an anxious tone. “Braith! Wake up!”
“Wha—t?” She opened her eyes. “Aloth?”
“You were speaking and thrashing about. Are you alright?”
“It was just a dream. I think.” She attempted to move. “Why are you on top of me?”
“Ah!” Aloth released her. “You very nearly caused me a serious injury.” He rubbed his shoulder.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Perhaps I shouldn’t have asked to sleep with you.” She frowned.
“Unless…” Aloth offered. “You don’t mind sleeping with your wrists and ankles tied?” He blushed at the realization of what he’d asked. “No, nevermind. What if we were beset by bandits or wichts?”
“No I don’t mind…And I can take care of myself in a pinch.” Braith held out her wrists. “I didn’t hurt you too badly did I?”
“Not at all!” He retorted nervously while searching through his pack. He removed two blue satin cords.
“Those look like they cost you bit. What do you keep them around for?”
“I purchased them before leaving Aedyr. I like to be able to tie my hair back when I read… Is that comfortable?” He finished the knot around her wrists.
Braith nodded. “You must like the color blue.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“You wear a lot of blue. That’s all.”
“I…hadn’t noticed. It is a nice color.”
“You don’t see Aedryan dyes so much here. It reminds me of home.” Braith said wistfully.
“Do you think you’ll return someday?” He finished the knot around her ankles.
“Someday perhaps. With Waidwen’s Legacy I think that the people of Dyrwood need me more.”
“Many say the hollowborn are a punishment from the gods. Do you think kith can restore the lost souls?” He took her in his arms and placed her under the covers.
“I don’t know. But as a cipher and now a Watcher I feel it is my duty to try--or at the least lessen their suffering.”
“Do you think animancy is behind it?” Aloth settled in next to her.
“A punishment for the hubris of kith? I suppose it’s possible. Though the fact that the Vailian Republics have not suffered would suggest that animancy alone is not the reason.”
“I’m concerned about you.” Aloth draped her braid over her shoulder and wrapped an arm around her waist. “How could he do…that to you?”
Braith drew in a breath. “It was my doing as much as his. I don’t know that you should have killed him.”
“I don’t understand. That look in your eyes. It was the same as when I first met you. You were terrified. How can you blame yourself for that?”
“It isn’t their fault. They suffer and I am the vessel of their relief.”
“They? This has happened before?” Aloth sat up and looked her in the eyes.
“Well, yes. I told you it was painful feeling what others feel. It seemed right to let them do as they pleased with me.”
The color drained from Aloth’s face and he covered his mouth in horror at the sudden realization. “Is that why you--? How could I have…” He covered his face with his hands.
“Aloth?”
“I’m sorry I never intended to hurt you. I should not have let you…”
Braith remained silent and then at last spoke. “Aloth, when I am with you I feel something I haven’t felt before. Something I didn’t know I could feel.”
Aloth removed his hands and met her gaze, his eyes filled with trepidation.
“I’m sorry about your shoulder.” Her eyes traversed the naked skin of his chest. “Will you hold me again? Your touch is…comforting.”
He lay down and placing an arm around her waist, drew her back against his chest.
Braith let out a soft moan of pleasure.
“You deserve so much better. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”
Braith turned her head, her lips brushing his cheek. In response Aloth leaned over her, holding her face gently in one hand he kissed her, his lips caressing hers. Braith pressed her body against him, forcing her tongue through his lips. Startled at her sudden forcefulness, Aloth began to jerk away but Braith caught his lower lip between her teeth.
“That hurt.” He scolded teasingly.
Braith jerked her head around to catch his lips again. “My apologies.” Her tongue licked the faint trickle of blood on his lip.
At the touch of her wet tongue a shiver of pleasure ran through his body. His erection throbbed against the thin fabric of his undergarment. “So beautiful.” He shifted his weight on top of her, curling his arm around her back he thrust his tongue into her mouth.
Braith giggled, returning the kiss as she pressed the soft mound below her navel against his cock.
“I do hope you aren’t reading my thoughts.” Aloth whispered sheepishly. “I’m afraid of what you might think of me if you knew what was going through my mind right now.”
Braith smiled at him. “I would like it if you showed me.”
Aloth nipped her earlobe as he whispered, “Please do let me know if you are uncomfortable.”
Gently pulling his arms out from under her, Aloth sat up, straddling her with his legs he began softly caressing her throat. A smile rose to her lips as she craned her neck back to expose more of the tender skin. His hands moved down her neck to her collarbone. Aloth felt her heart thumping against her chest as his hands glided lower over the soft mounds of her breasts, her nipples becoming erect under his fingertips. His fingers sought out the buttons along the front of her shirt-his shirt. One by one he unfastened them, leaving her exposed but for the bandages. Braith let out a faint groan as his hands cupped and caressed her breasts. A pink nipple peaked between the strips of fabric. Aloth pinched it between his thumb and forefinger, watching her arch her back in pleasure.
“Do you like this?” He said teasingly.
Braith smiled and nodded.
He bent down and took the nipple between his lips, teasing her with his tongue. “I wonder how you would like this…” His hand moved down the length of her stomach, brushing past her navel until at last his fingers found the hairy lips between her legs. Braith moaned, pulling at her restraints, as his fingers nestled into her soft curls, her lips growing plump under the attention of his fingers. Aloth pressed his lips to her hairy mound, slowly extending his tongue into the fold of her skin. Braith shuddered as his tongue caressed the pink flesh of her clit. “Enjoying yourself?” His voice vibrated against her lips. With his tongue still lapping at her clit, he began stroking the mouth of her warm interior with his index and middle fingers. Braith whimpered pleadingly as he stroked her but refused to enter, the lips of her mouth opening and growing wet with anticipation.
“I need you…I want you inside me.” Braith whispered, her eyes locking with his.
Her words stripped him of his last ounce of restraint. Grabbing her around the waist, Aloth flipped her onto her stomach, shoving a pillow under her hips to open her toward him, he let his undergarment drop to his knees as he pressed himself down on top of her, with his arms holding her underneath. Braith felt his naked erection against her lips.
“You are certain you are well enough?” He whispered, his cheek pressed against hers.
“Yes. Come into me.”
Braith cried out as she felt her lips part around his cock. Aloth felt her body tense as he slowly ground up and down.
“You feel lovely, my darling.” He brushed a stray lock of hair from her face. Braith whimpered with pleasure and pressed her hips against him, matching his thrusts.
“Harder!” Braith pleaded.
As her body tightened around him and his thrusts grew more forceful Aloth felt his senses slipping away. Soon all he could feel was her heart beating in her chest underneath him, her ragged breath against his ear and the pulsating muscles of her warm, wet body. She gave a sharp cry as she grew tighter still, the flexing of her muscles throwing him over the precipice. For a time they lay still, her body under his. Aloth sighed with contentment, his face flushed from exertion, and kissed her shoulder.
Braith purred softly. “You are very special to me.”
Aloth rolled to the side of Braith, holding her from behind he whispered. “And you to me, my dear.”
“Ye got th' lassie aff, 'at was a surprise.”
“Iselmyr...” Aloth scowled.
“I guess she is there all the time, isn’t she?”
“…Yes. I had mostly given up on being intimate with another person. She’s very inconvenient.”
“I don’t mind, if that’s any comfort.”
“That really means a lot.” He nuzzled her neck. “Well, we really should try to get a least a little sleep tonight.”
“Aloth?”
“Yes?”
“I…like being like this, bound with cords while you hold me. It…makes me feel very safe and at peace. But you’re right, we should get to sleep.”
Aloth smiled faintly and drifted off to sleep.
“You gonna sleep all day?” Edér shook the bedroll containing Aloth and Braith.Braith grumbled and turned her face into the quilt to avoid the morning light.
“Is it morning already?” Aloth rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
“Well, judging by the light it’s past noon. Oh and do you happen to know where that guy went off to?”
“The wichts ate him.” A sleepy Braith mumbled into the blanket.
“Wichts? I thought I heard some noise in the middle of the night. The poor guy. You all should’ve woken me up. He might could’ve still been alive.”
“We tried.” Aloth got out of bed and began to dress. “I’m afraid to say you are a very sound sleeper.”
“That’s a rough way to go. Eaten by wichts.” Edér looked at Durance’s empty bedroll. “So, uh…what’s with the rope?” He stared as Aloth prodded a sleepy Braith out of bed and untied her wrists.
“Do you mind giving the lady a little privacy?” Aloth scowled.
“Er—yeah sure. Just didn’t expect you to be int-”
“Well we’ve got a big day ahead of us. I should pack things up so that may we might reach Caed Nua by nightfall.” Aloth interrupted him with a stern glare.
