Book 01: Day and Night

They had moved the table to the side of the room, tucking one bench totally underneath the table and the other out a little so they could still have their meals at it. Now the centre of the room was completely opened, plenty of room for his morning meditation.

He went to the room he claimed and came back out carrying the furs and blankets from the bed and started to make a bed for himself in front of the fire and she watched him curiously. "What are you doing?"

He smiled a little. "Beds are to soft, I prefer hard grounded underneath me when I sleep."

She nodded a little thinking that meant for her to leave him. "I bid you a goodnight and sound sleep," and headed for her room. She left the door ajar slightly.

"Goodnight and sound sleep," he replied and watched her go into the room and went back to making his bed.

* * * * *

It was an hour later when the first clap of thunder and streak of lightning filled the air and there was a scream from Maya's room.

Kay'n jumped up quickly and went to her. Her bed was empty and he scanned the room to see her huddled in a corner rocking back and forth, a dazed look in her eyes. When another clap of thunder filled the air, he watched her jump and move harder into the corner.

He walked over to her slowly, he couldn't help compare her to a scared animal at that moment, but had to let it slip from his mind when he remembered, he told the Elder he would comfort her in her time of need. He crouched down a few meters away from her and calmly said, "Maya, look at me."

She didn't and he said it a little more forcibly which she darted a scared look at him. "Now I have your attention, we're going to go outside alright." He crept closer to her til he was nearly brushing his body against her and picked her up gently. He started to whisper, so soft she would have to strain to hear his voice.

He gently placed her down facing the fire and laid down behind her. He curled his arms around her so she couldn't move and let her feel safe against him. He started to tell her a story his father use to tell him on nights like this but having to change them a little, so it wouldn't frighten her any more than she was alright. He used his drow magic to make the fire dance with the scenes he was telling her and felt her relax under his embrace before her breathing became calm.

She had wrapped her arms around one of his arms and even if he wanted to leave her side, he couldn't. And soon she he drifted off to sleep and didn't move again til it was morning.

* * * * *

There was a knock on the door of the guest house and a soft, "It's open," came from inside.

Bosco entered and looked around to see Kay'n was still in bed. He knew the elf slept on the floor so it wasn't an unusual sight for him, but what was unusual was that he wasn't at the stall before Bosco had arrived so was wondering what was up.

Kay'n looked back to him and made the quiet sign with his hand and Bosco snuck over to him to see Maya was still asleep with her hands tightly holding Kay'n in place. Bosco couldn't help but grin seeing this and softly said, "It's good that you two are getting along so well.."

Kay'n rolled his eyes. "Don't you know about her and storms?"

The wolf nodded. "I do, I was trying to make light heart out of it." Then started to make them breakfast.

The door was still open and Kaisa entered without knocking and neither of the men was looking in her direction when she said in her normal tone, "Aren't you two meant to be working by now. The ceremony is tomorrow night."

Kay'n turned his head quickly at how loud Kaisa can be at times and gave her a dirty look. "I would but I'm a little stuck at the moment, thankyou very much."

Kaisa walked a little closer to see what he meant and blushed. "Sorry," she said a little softer. "How did she do last night?"

Feeling the grip on his arm loosen a little and said, "Maya, can I have my arm back, I need to get the dead feeling out of it."

Hearing his voice in her ear made her wide awake more quickly than she thought and jumped out of his bed and knocked into Bosco with a fright. "Oh my goodness... I'm so sorry," looking around with a deep blush across her cheeks.

Kay'n sat up and started to shake his arm a little to get the circulation back in it and stood up and stretched a little to work the muscles again. He wasn't use to being in the one position all night so was feeling it right now. "It's fine. As Kaisa asked, how did you sleep?" He watched her carefully to see if there were any signs of the storm affecting her the way the Elder had told him.

She nodded a little as she carefully went through her feelings, blinked before answering him. "I think, I feel good. I don't think I've slept through a storm that well, ever. I am sorry you had to deal with me through it."

He waved his hand in a dismissive remark. "No other way I could of gotten any sleep with you screaming the house down was there."

Bosco gave him a look and Kaisa growled at him, he ignored both of them as he helped himself to the porridge Bosco had heated up and sat on the table to eat it quickly before going into the room his things were in and changed before walking out to begin work again.

* * * * *

Work went quickly that morning. After the speech Bosco had given him about his attitude towards women. He was onto the last bone knife. It was like he was on automatic as he sorted his thoughts out.

He had actually enjoyed having her body close against his last night. There was something attracting to him with the wood elf. The light brown skin and fawn hair, the pale brown eyes with flecks of gold in them. The way her skin seem to glow against his dark skin. Or it might of been that last night she was helpless so being as the humans say it, 'her knight in shining armour to her rescue'. He didn't know what it was, he needed time away from her.

So as soon as the last bone knife was completed, he grabbed his bow and quiver filled with arrows and went hunting for the pack. They'd need meat for tomorrows ceremony so he decided to help them with collecting it.

* * * * *

She watched him leave the house on the other side of the open grounds of the village where the women had gathered for their daily meet to gossip and do crafts. Maya was making her remembies as the women talked and couldn't help but watch him disappear into the forest then looked over to Kaisa, "Is he leaving?"

She just saw a glimpse of him as Kay'n left and shook her head. "He's probably going hunting. You know what drow are like. They need to kill something to satisfy their blood lust."

Maya nodded a little. "I see ..." Letting herself slip back into her thoughts as she appeared to be listening to the gossip and made her potions.

She did tell the truth earlier that day. She had never slept so well during a storm and never had no affects from one the next day. She couldn't help but not think of his strong arms around her, the feeling of his heart beat against her back. Her heart seemed to shift beats to beat in time with his. She had never felt so relaxed in the arms of a man ever til last night. For the first time, she had felt safe in someone's arms. But what was she thinking, he was drow. First chance he got, she knew he would kill her.

* * * * *

He walked just over a mile in the wolvens land when he first spotted the large stag grazing alone. With careful steps he got closer, he drew two arrows knowing it would take that many to take the large creature down.

The stag looked up and thumped its hoof on the ground knowing something was out there, but not knowing what it was before going back to grazing.

Kay'n took a slow breath in as he drew the arrow back, the other arrow in his string hand ready to load it up straight after the first would leave his bow. He waited a moment longer then released the first arrow and stood up from his hiding position and fired the second one off.

The first landed in the stags chest and the second went into its neck. It bellowed from the first arrow and fell from the second. He walked over to it quickly and spoke a silent prayer as it died in front of him.

He removed the arrows and wiped the blood on his hand before cutting his palm and letting the mixed bloods hit the land as he finished the prayer. He placed the arrows back in his quiver and picked up the stag, putting it on his shoulders and started the long and slow journey back to the village.

* * * * *

Shouts had filled the village as warriors returned with their kills. Just on dusk there were more excited shouts as Kay'n arrived with his stag. As he walked through the village and dumped the large kill on the ground where the meat was being stored there was cheers, that he had brought in the largest of the kills.

It was a tradition in the village that if a hunter went out by themselves, they would have to bring the kill back by themselves. They couldn't just leave it to get help for them. So with Kay'n being the smallest hunter that went out that day and to bring back a large kill, everyone cheered him on.

He left them to do what they needed and as soon as he got to the guest house, he could feel ever aching muscle hit him all at once and he groaned, putting his bow and quiver down, he went over to his bed and collapsed on it.

Hearing something in the main room, Maya came out from the third room and smiled a little. "Did you have a good hunt?"

He nodded and groaned again, "Yes, they said I bought back the largest kill of the day."

Hearing the groan, she arched a brow. "Tired and sore, I guess?"

He nodded slowly, "It was a hard walk back. I didn't think I went that far from the village or I would of chased him closer." Giving a weak laugh.

The corner of her lips curled up a little. "Then I guess I did the right thing." Going over to him and holding both of her hands out to him. "Come, you helped me last night, so I will help you tonight." He gave her a look which she couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, you have to get up, great hunter."

He slumped a little before getting up slowly with her help, groaning every now and then, with each step he took. She lent him against the door of the third room and started to undress him.

He tried to slap her hands away but in turn, she slapped his away. "What are you doing, woman," he asked.

She looked up to him, he was easily a foot taller than her. "I plan on taking the soreness out from your muscles. So you can either strip or I will toss you into the bath fully clothed. It is your choice."

When he heard bath, he looked at the metal tub in the middle of the room filled with water, he knew right then he wanted to be in that water and just soak. He nodded lightly and helped her undress himself. She helped him with the jacket, shirt and boots and helped him over to the tub and turned to the side as he slipped out of his pants and climbed into the water.

He let out a pleasant groan, feeling the warm water in case his body, he sunk so only his head was out of the water. "This feels good." Closing his eyes and started to relax. He ducked down fully into the water and came up with some strains of his platinum hair covering his face.

She went and got the soap and sponge and dropped them into the water with him so he got the idea to start washing the day away from his body. He sat forward a bit and started to wash his legs and she sat on a stool at the head of the bath and rolled up her sleaves then poured oil onto her hands. Rubbing them together before touching his shoulders lightly.

He jumped from her touch but felt her starting to massage the knots in his shoulder and quickly relaxed, moving back a little to lean against the tub as she kneaded his muscles. He idly washed his body but was in a trance with her massage.

He put the soap and sponge on the side of the tub when she started to work lower on his back and moved forward to make it easier on her. He flinched a little when she moved over a tender spot and started to work it out of his muscles and started to relax again.

After she had done his back, she stood up and smiled. He was totally relaxed compared to how she first saw him. She dried off her arms and picked up the oil. "Come on, I'll finish off out here," she said as she walked out the door and poked her head back in. "Just come through in a towel please, will be easier that way." And disappeared from sight again.

She was offering more of that massage, he was out of that bath in a shot and quickly dried off before wrapping the towel around his waist and walked over to her. She was kneeling on his bed and she patted it. "Lay down on your stomach please."

He laid down on his stomach with the towel still around his waist and she moved him slightly to undo the towel and laid it so it was covering his arse. He felt a little open at that point and had to move from time to time to re-adjust his position.

But soon he was putty in her hands and falling under the trance of the massage. She started working his back again and straddled his thighs which made his eyes shoot open. He could feel her body brush against his back and couldn't help but get goosebumps over his skin from it.

Once his back was done, she moved down and started to work on his calves and thighs. Tingles were sent through out his body with her touch as it got higher and higher. He couldn't help but adjust himself again. With each knot she felt, she worked the muscle until it was loose. She moved over to his other leg and did the same thing to him again. She listened to his groans and smiled to herself. Once she had finished with both legs, she decided to be cheeky and patted his arse lightly. "Roll over and I'll do the front now."

She held the towel as he rolled over and placed it back down once he was settled and started to work the front of the thigh muscles. His hands moved over to cover himself at the front of the towel so she wouldn't see how the massage was affecting him. He knew after she was finished, he'd have to relieve himself.

A few times as she worked the thighs, her fingers brushed against the heavy laden sacks beneath the towel which made him quickly look down at her to see if she had intentionally done it or by accident. Each time she felt his eyes on her, she'd whispered, "Sorry ..." So he thought it was a mistake after all. But damn, this woman was getting closer to being attacked by him with each sweep of her hand.

Once his legs were done, she moved beside him and started to work on his arms. And to soon for his likings, she was finished and washing her hands with water at the side and putting the oil away. He just laid there absently moving his hand over the bulge. "That felt great.. Thank you."

She walked back out to him. "Looks like a I missed a muscle that needs some attention."

His eyes shot open and realised what he was doing and quickly moved both of his hands to cover himself, even though the towel was doing that already. She walked back over to him and sat down next to him. She looked at him in the eyes as her hand went back to his thigh and started to creep slowly up to under the towel.

His eyes went wide when her small fingers wrapped around his harden length and started to stroke him slowly. He put his hand quickly above hers above the towel. "Don't ..."

Looking at him curiously. "Why?"

"Because I don't know if I could stop myself if you start," was his answer.

Nodding a little, she moved her other hand to his and moved it away as she started to stroke him against slowly. "What if I don't want you to stop."

He bit his lower lip as she stoked him again. "You have no idea what you're going to make me do little wood elf ..." His hips started to meet her hand.

She moved the towel away from covering his body and stared at the length she was stroking. She could feel how large it was but seeing it now, she was fixated on it. She couldn't help but lean down and circle her tongue around the large mushroom head and peaked up to him as he gasped.

His hand moved over her shoulder and started to play with front of her covered breast as she moved her lips around him and started to move her head in time with the stroke of her hand.

Swapping hands quickly, she moved her free hand to his sack and started to caress them gently which made him start to move his hips in time with her lips.

His breathing became jagged then his eyes shot open. He couldn't control himself any longer. He pushed her back as he sat up. He wanted something more than a mouth around his cock right then, he quickly jumped on top of her and started to unlace her dress as quickly as he could, he wanted to feel her bronzed skin next to his and as soon as the dress was loose enough, he pulled her out of it and pulled her onto his bed.

With the last of his control, she was met with a deep rough kiss. His hands moving wildly against her body as he rolled on top of her. Supporting himself with his hands and knees. Using his knees, he spread her legs and settled in between hers, moving his hips slightly to line himself with the heat he could feel, he plunged himself deep inside her.

She screamed into the kiss when he broke her purity and started to thrust hard. It didn't register to him til later that he was the first to take her. All he could think about was release, he had warned her but she didn't stop and wasn't able to control his darker side.

He pulled back from the breathless kiss and looked into her eyes. He moved one hand between their bodies and started to play with her clit which she squealed when he touched her, he moved down a little and took on of her nipples between his lips and started to bite and suck greedily at it. He moved from one nipple to the other. He could hear on her moans she was getting ready to cum and started to move more feral on her body. He wanted her to cum before he would. He needed her to.

He started to pick up the pace with both his lips and hand. She was moaning more loudly now. He could feel her becoming tighter around his cock. He moved his kisses back up over her neck and whispered, "Come for me little elf.. Come hard for me ..."

With his words and his breath on her neck. She wrapped her arms and legs around him and started to buck wildly underneath him. Tears ran down her cheeks as she hid her face against his neck as the shot of electricity went through her body and she came hard around him.

Feeling her cum around his cock, he moaned loudly and with two more thrusts, he came deep inside her. Both breathing hard against the others necks, he shifted slightly so his full weight wasn't right on top of her. He started to thrust slowly back and forth as the after shocks of their orgasms calmed down.

He kissed her lips then started to move down over her neck, to her breasts. As he softened inside her, he slipped further down and smelt the aroma of their mixed juices, but there was something else. There was blood. He licked the cum and blood and looked up to her, "Why didn't you tell me. I would of tried to control myself better."

She ran her hand lightly through his silver hair, "Because I didn't want to put you off from touching me the way I wanted you to."

He licked again and began to clean her, he felt her body shiver with each lick and the soft moans coming from her lips. He enjoyed those moans more than he expected, but most of all he enjoyed her body and wanted more, much more.

Flicking his tongue against her clit, he smiled hearing her take a sharp breath in. His lips moved against her clit as he spoke, "I think I'm enjoying your taste..." then licked her more firmly. "You might have a problem getting me away from you."

Letting out a soft moan, going quiet when he spoke, her body shivered and whispered, "I might not want to get away from you." Closing her eyes so she didn't want to see his reaction to what she just said.
