Dark closed her eyes and nodded.
“Okay.”
Night leaned in and brushed Dark’s hair away from the back of her neck and started kissing it warmly. Her hand squeezed and caressed her breast, playing with her nipple as it became hard. Dark let out a sigh of pleasure as the sensations began to grow. She could feel her heart beat faster. Dark began to gyrate ever so slowly against Wollfen’s thigh and she wondered if he would awake? Probably not, he would have no idea of what was going on, she wondered if it would turn him on?
Dark lost her train of thought as Night’s hand left her breast and slid down her back, tingling as it went. Down over her buttocks she caressed and Dark let out a low moan. She was getting hot now and was no longer shivering, it was working. Night reached further in from behind and found Dark’s soft wet mound.
To Dark it was electrifying, she had no idea how much she needed to be touched. It had been so long, she gyrated against Wollfen’s hip even more as two of Night’s fingers slipped in. The heat of her crotch was pulsing on Wollfen and she was sure it would be heating him up too. Dark couldn’t help but bite Wollfen’s nipple and start sucking it, surely he would be having erotic dreams? As if in answer, even though he had not awoken, his shaft grew and became erect. Dark placed her hand over it and squeezed. It felt good to touch him like that again. Her eyes rolled back into her head and Night worked from behind sliding her fingers in and out, Dark gyrating against Wollfen’s hard hip bone and she pulling on his manhood, it was ecstasy.
Night took her time for the next hour not allowing Dark satisfaction and keeping her hot. Not until Night was satisfied Wollfen had enough heat imbued in him from Dark’s own body. Then she manipulated Dark’s clitoris stroking it steadily and softly until she was brought to climax. Dark kept her moans to a minimum but couldn’t hold back this last one and it escaped her lips loudly.
“I'm cumming!” she gasped.
Night giggled and Dark was left a shivering sweaty mess. Panting, Dark turned back to her.
“By the gods Night, is all sex with women like this?” Night grinned impishly.
“You get out of it what you put into it.”
Dark rolled her eyes in wonderment.
“Thank you Night, that was so good. I have never enjoyed working so hard to save a life like that before,” grinned Dark.
Night leaned forward and gave Dark a deep warm kiss and then she pulled away.
“Time I went back to my room. I am going to have to take care of myself.” Dark nodded smiling dreamily.
“Goodnight my sweet.”
Night gathered her clothes and made a naked dash for her own room. Within a few minutes, Night too had enjoyed a climax and fell immediately into a deep sleep.
Dark looked at Wollfen and could see some color had returned to his face. He felt a lot warmer to the touch now which was good. She felt a little sorry for him missing out. His rod was still hard in her hand, she stroked it gently but soon stopped and he slowly went limp again. Well there was plenty of time to make up for it later. Dark lay her head on his chest and quickly fell asleep dreaming of Wollfen and her romping naked through the forest.
Wollfen awoke the next morning to find himself naked with a nude Dark draped across him, how lucky could he be? He couldn’t ask for much more than that. Stretching a little Wollfen could tell he felt weak. His chest still burned and throbbed with pain, but it was a whole lot better than when he felt the hot poker enter his chest. That had been more than excruciating. He hoped no one would take the curses personally. Wollfen also realized he would have a lot of explaining to do too. Dark stirred against him. Her eyes fluttered open and upon seeing Wollfen she smiled.
“Good morning gorgeous, I hope you slept well.” Dark grinned widely.
“More than you know.”
She reached out and caressed his belly making him tingle. He idly played in her hair while looking into her eyes. She leaned up to his mouth and kissed him. Staying there they kissed and touched tongues for a while. Wollfen really missed her kisses, soft, sensuous and tasty. Finally Dark pulled away from him.
“Tell me how you are?”
“I hurt still but I am a lot stronger this morning. I think I shall be able to get up later this afternoon for a little while.”
Dark looked at the blackened wound in the center of his chest, it still made her wonder.
Wollfen realized that his hip was dry and crusty, hmm. He brushed at it wondering what had gotten on him, Dark blushed while watching and then it dawned on him.
“You took advantage of me during the night?” Dark didn’t speak but there was a glint in her eye and his eyes widened in surprise, “My, my, you have gone without for too long too huh?”
He couldn’t say it wasn’t a pleasant thought. Dark licked his nipple and he shivered. She looked up for approval and he winked. Her hand on his belly slowly slid down a little caressing until she was sliding her fingertips lightly up and down his shaft. He rose in response and begun breathing a little heavier.
“My darling, I am too weak to do much at all.”
Dark looked up and gave him a reassuring smile.
“It’s okay, I understand, I’ll do everything for now.”
She slowly kissed down his belly licking it and nipping him from time to time. It didn’t take long before he was aching for her, to be able to make love to her but that couldn’t happen. It was okay, Dark was working her magic and she knew exactly what turned him on.
She slid her hand over his erection and gripped it firmly. Wollfen gasped a little as she pumped up and down slowly for a while. She slowly licked around the head a bit, then down the shaft, lingering here and there to give his hard rod a soft wet kiss, nuzzling at the base. Dark slipped one ball into her mouth and rolled it around, licking it gently.
Wollfen couldn’t help but let out a little moan. Then licking back up again she kissed around the head, lightly licking the edge. Finally Dark took it in her mouth and slowly worked him sucking softly at first, sliding up and down, deeper into her mouth, she could feel him throbbing. He was close so Dark sucked a bit harder and stroked with her mouth faster, wanting to taste his hot cream.
She felt him pulse then. All of a sudden Wollfen moaned out loud and a hot spurt hit the back of her throat, swallowing she was just in time to catch the next squirt as Wollfen came hard. Dark moaned with that full fleshy cock in her mouth, sucking and licking as it slowly went soft, feeling Wollfen shiver. Dark licked her lips tasting that thick cream, swallowing and smiling, she loved giving him the release he needed. Looking up Dark could see he had a hint of a smile as he drifted off, she was sure he would sleep well now.
Slowly she lifted herself off the bed, threw on some of her clothes and went out to the fireplace. There she found Night and Solynne quietly chatting. Dark pulled up a chair and stuck her toes towards the fire to warm them up. The wooden floors were cold underfoot. Night piped up and asked.
“How is he this morning?” Dark gave a wink.
“Oh I doubt it will be long before he is back to his wolfish best.”
The two girls knew exactly what she was referring to and giggled.
“I’m glad to hear that things are going to be well.” She nodded.
“Yes things shall be fine soon, I do think there may be changes, but I would say it will be for the better.” Dark turned to Night and gave her a look, “And thank you too.”
Solynne watched on between them while the two looked at each other for a bit and being Solynne she spoke her mind.
“What have you two done?
She looked at Dark and gave a wondrous look.
“You didn’t? When? Where?” Dark blushed a lot now.
“Well you see, Night helped me get Wollfen warm again last night since I wasn’t able to do it alone and Night isn’t the sort of person to touch a man that way. So we did what we could.”
Solynne shook her head and decided to change the subject.
“You know I am wondering who he is r
eally. I mean, no human can do what he does. He isn’t an elf and definitely not a dwarf by any stretch of the imagination.”
Dark laughed out loud and they both turned to her with questioning looks.
“Sorry I got a dirty mind this morning.”
“Well fess up, we both wanna know.” The girls giggled.
“He may not be a dwarf but he has something bigger than a dwarf in his pants!”
Now Solynne and Dark both laughed together with Night looking on and smiling. She just couldn’t understand the fascination with those dangly objects in men’s pants.
After awhile, Dark started asking questions about how Solynne got there and all. She explained the ambush early on in the piece and how Kane had raced her into the east here to save her life. From then on Kane had acted very quickly organizing a local militia and within weeks he had a sizable force to use. From what Solynne was saying it wasn’t long after that, that an Isogorrean army had moved in and started attacking the local villages.
Over the next couple of weeks Kane had resisted the temptation to attack early and had spent his time building his numbers and drawing the enemy forces into a field of battle where he could dictate the terms. That battle had lasted two days but at the end of it, the Kingdom forces had been totally victorious. Dark now understood what had happened to the Isogorrean army that had disappeared. It hadn’t been orcs as everyone suspected, that was a big positive. Wollfen would be very pleased with what Kane had achieved here.
“We haven’t seen any orcs. The only race out of place here is a single elf to tell you the truth.”
Dark picked up at the mention of that.
“An elf you say? What is his name?”
“He calls himself Eldoron,” Solynne replied.
“Eldoron is here?”
“You know him? Yes he has been here quite a few months. A bit of a lost soul if you ask me, like a spare wheel.”
Well, well, wasn’t it a small world? Dark wondered. She had a few things to tell Wollfen. Dark decided to go talk to Sergeant Burkhard. Since they had solved the riddle of the loss of the Isogorrean army and they knew the Kingdom had a strong military presence in the east, word of that needed to get back. It didn’t take long to find Burkhard and she informed him of what she knew. Having that information he could organize a trip back to Port Volarus. She also told him to talk to Kane regarding some extra men for him as well. They had lost three coming here.
Dark decided it was time to get things organized for their trip to Kassandrea. She knew that Wollfen would want to take off for there as soon as he was well enough and by the rate of his recovery she couldn’t see them being there even a week.
Suddenly she realized what she was doing. She had taken over and organized all things in Wollfen’s absence and not batted an eyelid. Before she always asked for permission, regardless of whether it was necessary to do so or not. She was being more independent, the six months away from his influence had a bigger impact than she had known. The more Dark thought about it the more she understood. Before she was feeding Wollfen with a neediness that wasn’t really her and she also knew that Wollfen didn’t have to have people do that with him. Kane was a prime example. All of a sudden she felt quite liberated as well as more important. Yes things were changing for her and it was good.
Back in the cabin room Dark looked down at the still sleeping Wollfen. He was looking very good, she pulled back the blanket and looked at the wound. It still looked bad, she had half expected it to be healed. Wollfen awoke with a start.
“Darling?”
Wollfen looked about, then he coughed a little stale blood up. He felt his chest a bit then looked at Dark.
“It's not going well I’m afraid, I just don’t have the energy levels to self heal.”
Dark waited patiently. Patience was a new trait of hers too. Everything would come in good time. Before she had died her impatience had gotten her into trouble a lot. She didn’t understand what Wollfen was saying or what he needed but she knew he would eventually say.
“Dark?” She looked at him, “There are in my clothes a couple of crystals, one is goldish in color could you bring it to me?”
She nodded and went to the other part of the room and rummaged a bit. She found what he wanted and returned with it, placing it in his hand.
Wollfen turned it over in his hand feeling it. Yes it still had some charge, that was good. He had used most of its energy originally to heal Dark’s dead body. This time he would not need anywhere near as much. He was alive and the repair process was already happening naturally. He would simply be giving it a boost.
He smiled at Dark as he placed it over his wound and held it there. Closing his eyes and feeling his own injuries he went to work. Dark lay down beside him and watched his face as he became lost in concentration. They lay there for an hour before his eyes fluttered open.
“It is done.”
He took away the crystal and where a blackened wound was before only a dark red mark existed. It wasn’t fully healed but he had managed to accelerate the process greatly. Dark smiled at him and caressed his cheek.
“I was going to have a talk with you about some matters, but I can see you are exhausted again. Sleep my love. I will take care of everything.”
Wollfen kissed her on the cheek.
“Thank you, you are better to me than I deserve.”
Dark wouldn’t have any of it.
“Oh don’t think I’m not going to give you a hard time when we do speak. You have a lot of explaining to do and I want the truth. You understand this don’t you?”
Wollfen nodded. It was a talk he always knew one day he would have to give, to explain to her just who he really was and why he had certain abilities others didn’t.
Dark took off again for the rest of the day spending her time catching up with Kane and talking to Eldoron. The elf was quite surprised to hear of Wollfen’s exploits. He couldn’t remember of any such things being talked of in the elven lands where Wollfen had spent many years. Dark arranged that as soon as Wollfen was awake and able to take visitors Eldoron would be one of the first to see him. She felt that the elf had an important part to play as yet.
The evening came quickly and as Dark was sitting with the others having supper, Night came out from where she had been watching over Wollfen.
“He is awake now. He wants a side of beef he reckons so I figure he must be a little hungry. Do you want to take a plate of food in to him Dark?”
Dark nodded with a mouthful of food and made a sound, nothing intelligible but Night understood. She grabbed a big bowl and started to load it up with slices of meat. She knew he would appreciate it, Dark also laid in some roast potatoes and onions as well as carrots too. It was about three times the amount she could manage but when Wollfen had a big appetite he could do some real damage.
As soon as Dark walked into the room she started giving him commands.
“Come on get your ass up, you can’t lie down and eat.”
He lifted himself up into a sitting position as Dark sat a pillow in his lap and plopped the large bowl on top,
“Thank you Dark, I’m famished.”
He tucked in without hesitation using his fingers to pull chunks of meat out and chewed happily. Dark sat on the bed cross-legged watching on and smiling. She had brought more food than Wollfen could possibly eat but as time wore on he managed to almost do it to her surprise. The few scraps left wouldn’t feed a cat. He lay back with a contented smile on his face.
“That was the best hearty meal I have had in a long time.”
She leaned forward and kissed his moist lips and licked them a little too. It aroused them both but she did not continue, this was the time to talk. Dark sat back and watched him.
“I think it’s time you told me who you are and where I fit in.”
Wollfen sat up and looked at her.
“Yes, I want you to know that I was always going to hold this talk with you eventually. Circumstances over the last year thou
gh have kept pushing it back.”
He sighed before going on, collecting his thoughts. Once he started he had a lot to say.
“I love you Dark, I love you more than I have ever loved another for over a hundred and thirty years.”
Dark’s eyes widened at the statement, she was expecting big revelations, but this? Wollfen knew how to start off with a bang.
“A hundred and thirty years? So how old are you?”
“I have been walking this world for almost four hundred years.”
Wollfen stopped and let this sink in, he could see her thoughts playing out on her face, the confusion and shock were telling. She spoke again.
“Go on.”
“In the early days I was a normal person just like you, though not quite as nice. Well to put it in a nutshell, I was bad, a killer and I had no good in my heart.” Again the shock on Dark’s face, this time he kept going, “I spent most of my young adult life as an assassin and I was very good at what I did. I killed anyone I was hired or ordered to do without emotion, without any mercy. I had killed more people in those twenty years of ‘working’ for want of a better name than I can remember.” Again he paused, what he was telling her would be taken badly, “I have killed men, women, children. And sometimes when Kings or princes or barons, whatever they may have been threatened by the birth of some illegitimate child, I would be called on to take the baby and well, dispose of them.”
Now Dark’s eyes were filled with tears, she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
“How could you do those things? Did you not have any decency at all?”
He shook his head.
“No. I had no redeeming qualities I can think of. I had no compassion for any human whatsoever.”
“But you are nothing like that, you show more compassion for people than what they deserve. I don’t understand, what happened?”
Wollfen again shook his head.
“I don’t know why but in my late thirties or so, I’m not even sure when anymore it has been so long, Lord Vincent touched my heart and he brought out the humanity in me. I do remember I was a good child I think, but I had a bad father and worse upbringing. Maybe I was a product of that or something, who knows? Anyway obviously Lord Vincent found something in me worth his time and he managed to bring it out. I felt my heart filled with a love I had never felt before and from that day I was a changed man.”
