“That’s not what you are supposed to do with those,” I laughed as I stepped into the room.
“Da!” she squealed, stood up, and walked straight to me with her arms out.
My eyes widened, and my mouth fell open. My daughter was walking. All on her own.
“Look at my big girl!” I gasped as I picked her up and let her kiss my whole face. “When did you start walking on your own?”
“This morning, apparently,” Careen laughed. “She got out of bed and kissed Talise awake.”
“Why do I have a feeling this is going to lead to a whole lot of trouble with you?” I asked the dark-haired cherub in my arms.
She just squealed and wiggled to get down and continue her playing.
“It’s getting close to bedtime for both of them,” Careen smiled fondly, “so you’re just in time.”
“I’ll help you get them ready,” I told the pink-haired woman, “but then I have to go find Sela. It’s apparently time to honor her mating rights victory.”
“Oh,” the pixie healer blushed, “I forgot about that.”
“I kind of did, too,” I chuckled. “Sela wanted to wait until she was fertile. She is all business.”
“She always has been,” Careen laughed as she handed me Arrick. “Does that mean Mira will be with child soon, too?”
“Actually,” I said as I looked down at my son, “Mira wants to wait. She wants to sail with me and knows she can’t do all of that while she is pregnant or has a small child to care for.”
“She is young,” Careen nodded, “she has plenty of time.”
I looked up to agree with her and noticed a flush had come to her cheeks, and she looked like she wanted to say something, but stopped herself.
Time for me to pry.
“What’s on your mind, Careen?” I grinned.
“Um, nothing,” she muttered and dropped her eyes to the floor, “all is well.”
“Are you sure?” I asked. “You look like you want to say something.”
“I just … ” she barely whispered without looking at me, “it’s just, I was wondering if maybe, if you wanted to, I could maybe take Mira’s place.”
I watched as Careen’s beautiful skin flushed a bright pink that rivaled her hair, and she busied herself with picking up Marella and taking her over to the basin of warm water to wash the baby girl and get her dressed for bed.
After a long moment, I walked over, reached out to grab the healer’s chin, and gently lifted it so she was looking at me.
“I would love nothing better,” I almost moaned and felt my cock harden at the thought. “I will run it by the queen, but I am sure she will agree. I have wanted you for a very long time.”
I didn’t think it was possible for her to blush more, but Careen proved me wrong. She also smiled bigger and brighter than I’d ever seen her do, and that did a whole lot to make my dick nearly pop out of my pants.
I just smiled at her and walked over to wash Arrick up and change him into a clean gown to sleep in. After that was all done, the healer and I both left the nursery and took the babies to their mothers, but we met Talise in the hallway where she was on her way to pick Marella up.
“Thank you so much, Careen,” Talise sighed as she settled a squirming Marella on her hip. “I lost track of time while I was replenishing some of our medicines. I don’t want to get caught empty handed when the storms arrive.”
“I love staying with them,” Careen assured with a smile, “it is never a problem. Now, I must go find some food before turning in for the night.”
Careen kissed Marella on the cheek, nodded to Talise, and sent me a shy smile before she strolled off down the hall.
I watched her walk away, and my whole body looked forward to the next time we met.
“She wants a child,” Talise said with a sly smile.
“She told me,” I laughed.
“Did she?” the healer snickered. “I am surprised she found the nerve.”
“Her face almost burst into flames when I finally pried it out of her,” I chuckled.
“She will make a great mother,” Talise replied decidedly.
“Just like you,” I said and noticed Marella had fallen asleep on her shoulder. “I must find Sela tonight, but I haven’t forgotten about my date with you.”
“Oh, I wasn’t going to let you forget,” the healer flirted and bit her lip as she looked me over. “I have plans for you.”
“Mmmm,” I moaned before I kissed her goodnight and went to find the queen. When I was alone, I looked down at the prince in my arms. “Arrick, my son, these women are going to be the death of me.”
He just looked at me with those wise eyes and cooed his consent.
“It’s good to have another guy around,” I laughed. “George, you, and me have to stick together. Okay?”
My son cooed again, and I gave him another little chuckle.
A few minutes later, I reached the queen’s chamber and found it empty, so I sat down on the bed and rocked Arrick back and forth gently while singing to him.
“Goodnight, you moonlight ladies,” I sang, “rockabye sweet baby Arrick, deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won’t you let me go down in my dreams, and rockabye sweet baby Arrick.”
Those weren’t the right words, but I made it work. It wasn’t long before he fell asleep against my shoulder, and I laid back with him on my chest to wait for Nerissa. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew, Nerissa was shaking me awake, and the aroma of food woke me completely.
“I thought I might find you here.” She smiled when I blinked my eyes open. “Careen said you had Arrick, and you didn’t show up for the evening meal, so I brought you some.”
“Thank you, you beautiful woman,” I groaned, and my stomach growled. “I guess the events of the past few days have finally caught up with me.
“That’s not surprising,” she chuckled, “since you’ve had a total of maybe five hours of sleep in the past three days. That’s not good for you.”
“I was going to find Sela tonight,” I sighed, “but I guess my body had other ideas.”
“Sela is on duty tonight,” Nerissa explained, “so go to her in the morning. Tonight, just eat and rest.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” I teased as I laid Arrick in his bed and sat down at the table to eat.
Nerissa sat across from me and poured herself some tea while I dove into the seafood stew and bread she’d brought me. After I satisfied the beast in my stomach, I turned to the queen.
“Mira told me she wanted to wait to have a child,” I said when I finished chewing. “She wants to sail and fight with me.”
“She told me,” Nerissa nodded, “and I can respect that, even if I am not thrilled about it.”
“I could certainly use her abilities if I am to travel,” I replied, “but Careen also wants to take her place.”
“I was wondering when she was going to ask,” Nerissa laughed, “she’s really had baby fever since Marella was born, and it has just gotten worse with Arrick’s arrival.”
“She blushed like a mad woman when she told me tonight,” I snickered as I finished up my food and sat back to drink my ale. I suspiciously eyeballed the tea the queen had offered me, though. If she’d been worried about me, there was no guarantee she hadn’t slipped something into it to make me sleep.
“I think you should go to Careen first,” the queen mused as she tilted her head in thought. “Let Sela rest and recover from the battle.”
“As you wish,” I replied and decided to take my chances with the tea. An uninterrupted night of sleep might do me some good. So, I slurped it down, washed up in the basin, and crawled into bed next to my queen, and it didn’t take long for me to fall asleep curled up behind her.
The next thing I knew, I was standing on the wall around the village, and I watched as the black clouds rolled in heavy and full of lightning. The clouds went on far past what my dragon eyes could see, and they were blowing in fast. They were also po
uring waves of rain out into the sea as they moved straight for the island. The wind picked up around me, and it blew the roof off one of the nearby huts and sent its contents flying across the village. I heard screams from inside the remains of the huts, and then a loud peal of thunder split the sky.
You have three days, dear one, an ancient voice intoned, and the voice echoed in my head louder than the thunder.
“Son of a bitch!” I yelped as I sat straight up in bed. My heart was pounding in my chest, and I was drenched in sweat.
Apparently, we only had three days before the worst storm I’d ever seen hit the island.
Chapter Five
I’d gotten everyone stirred up since I woke up from that ominous dream. There were a lot of things I could battle against, but mother nature was not one of them. She tended to win every single time. At least I had some kind of warning and was able to prepare, so I couldn’t be too mad about it.
Thank you, Ladonis.
So, the village got together and decided what the most important things were, and that’s where I concentrated my efforts. While I definitely would have rather gone hunting than repair living quarters and tear down huts in the courtyard, I knew that was where I was needed.
Right now, we were working on anchoring the covers over our food storages, so the storm wouldn’t blow it away and leave our crops to be ruined by the nasty weather.
“Pull down on the ropes as tight as you can,” I instructed the women, “then we will tie it off, and the roof will be secure and a lot more likely to survive the storms.”
We’d gotten through a good chunk of the work this morning, and I was looking forward to a lunch break and to get an update on how everyone else was doing. I was doubtful the hunting party had returned, but I would like to know how the harvesting of the crops was going. Shelter and food, those were my main concerns.
“Ben!” someone called out, and I turned to see Sela standing by one of the huts. “Are you busy?”
“I was just headed to the palace for a meal break and to get an update from everyone,” I told her. “What’s going on?”
The woman didn’t say a word, she just grabbed me by my shirt and dragged me into a nearby hut.
I started to ask her once again what was going on, but then she tugged at my shirt and started to pull it over my head.
I definitely knew what was on her mind now.
“Sela,” I moaned, “right now?”
I couldn’t believe this was what was on her mind after being on guard duty all night. She had to be exhausted, but maybe since it was her fertile time, she apparently didn’t want to waste an opportunity.
“Yes,” was all she said in answer.
Nerissa had recommended I sleep with Careen first, so as to give Sela a chance to rest, but I wasn’t about to argue with the warrior as she ran her hands over my bare chest.
I started to try and undress her, but she just pushed my hands away. Then she reached down and made quick work of untying my pants and pushing them off me. Before I could say or do anything, she dropped to her knees in front of me, took my already hard cock into her hand, and started caressing it as she licked just the head. My eyes rolled back as the sensation took over my body, and my hands found her hair and tangled themselves in it.
“Jesus fuck,” I grunted.
Sela took me deeper into her throat, and she slid my cock slowly in and out of her mouth as she simultaneously cupped and massaged my balls with her other hand. I heard her gag a few times and tried to pull back, but she held me firm and kept drawing my cock deeper and deeper into her throat. She alternated between sucking on my dick and giving me a handjob, all while she never stopped giving my balls magnificent attention.
“Sela,” I moaned, “if you keep that up, I am going to cum in your mouth.”
I heard her chuckle before she rose to her feet and promptly started to remove the warrior clothing she wore most of the time. I reached for her and planned on returning the favor, but she pushed me back onto the bed and climbed on top of me without any preamble. Then she positioned my cock right outside of her pink pussy lips, slid painfully slow down onto me, and took all of my dick into her tight tunnel.
We both sighed heavily at the feeling of it all.
“Goddess, Ben,” Sela panted as she arched her spine and threw back her head, “you are going to bruise my lungs if I’m not careful.”
I didn’t get a chance to reply before she started to move and slide me in and out of her at a methodical pace. Her hands splayed across my chest to keep her balance, and just her hips moved up and down on my cock. I watched her breasts bounce in rhythm to her thrusts as I held tightly to her hips. Then her pace picked up, and I had half a mind to grab her and flip her over so I could pound her the way my body and mind begged me to. She felt so fucking good, and the fact that she’d taken initiative and wanted to be in command was so goddamn hot.
Just when I couldn’t take it anymore, Sela slid off my cock and positioned herself next to me on her hands and knees.
“Well?” She glanced at me coyly over her shoulder. “Aren’t you going to fill me with your seed?”
Apparently, I was taking too long.
“As you wish.” I grinned as I got behind her and thrust my cock hard into her tight tunnel.
She let out a small scream when I made it balls deep into her, so I repeated that hard thrust a few more times. Then I quickened the pace and got lost in her tightness and the way my balls sounded as they slapped against her glorious ass.
“Harder, Ben,” Sela moaned as she bucked and writhed beneath me, “fuck me harder. Fill me with your seed. Please. I want to bear you a child. I want it so bad. I want your baby. Please, Ben. Please.”
I pushed her hips down so she was lying prone on the bed and proceeded to let loose on her. A thin layer of sweat broke out on my face and chest as I fucked this woman like she’d begged me to. I pounded into her and listened as her breathing increased, and her tightness latched onto my cock like it was a vise. I knew she was getting close, which was a damned good thing considering I was just seconds away from filling her with every single ounce of my seed.
I slid one of my hands under Sela and rubbed her clit a few times, and that was all it took to send her over the edge. Her tunnel squeezed my shaft like her hand would, and then it began to massage up and down my length as if she was milking me.
“Yesssss!” I growled as I came deep inside of the beautiful warrior woman. My cock jerked several times, and I knew I was unloading like a gallon of my seed into her womb.
“Ohhhh, Ben!” Sela screamed as her pussy clamped down on me like a vice again, and we both trembled as our climaxes peaked.
It seemed to last forever, but then we both came down and let out long sighs of pleasure.
I collapsed against her back and then flipped us to our sides so she was against my chest, but I was still inside her as I slowly grew soft. We stayed that way, breathing heavily, for just a few minutes before she popped up, grabbed her clothes, and started getting dressed.
“Heading out already?” I grinned
“I still need to get some things moved to the palace,” she said as she tugged her shirt over her head, but my eyes drifted to where my seed was dripping down her thighs.
My dick gave a valiant twitch, but unfortunately for him, I had work to do.
“I can help since I’m here,” I offered and looked around the hut. “What do you need to pack?”
“Um, this isn’t my hut,” the warrior mumbled, and her cheeks flushed darkly as she averted her eyes from mine. “I don’t know whose it is.”
I blinked in surprise. “So, you just tugged me into some random woman’s house to have your way with me?”
“Shut up,” she muttered, and her cheeks flushed even darker.
“You never cease to surprise me, Sela,” I laughed.
She flashed me a huge smile and left me rather dumbfounded when she leaned over and kissed me on the head. Then she just walked out of th
e hut.
Damn. Wham, bam, thank you, Ben.
I chuckled at this woman who was all business. There were things to do, she’d gotten her womb filled with my seed, so there was no time for snuggling and all that nonsense. I felt kind of used and kind of humored all at the same time.
“Women.” I shook my head and huffed out a sigh. Then I grabbed my own clothes and put them back on before I left the hut. I had no idea who it belonged to, but I didn’t think they would be happy if they came back and found me naked in their bed.
Or maybe they would be happy. After all, these women all wanted my babies.
But that was something to address later. For now, I had a storm season to prepare for.
I wove my way through the village, and then continued my trek up to the palace. I was still starving and needed to talk to Nerissa, regardless of my afternoon tryst with Sela. So, I made my way through the kitchen where Hali was working like a mad woman to get everything stored properly, but she’d still taken the time to make sure I had a lunch tray ready to go.
Bless that woman.
I grabbed my food, hugged the chef, and headed to the main part of the palace where I was sure I would find the queen. Sure enough, she was there overseeing the storage of all the equipment from the courtyard. Many things such as forging weapons and dyeing cloth would have to be put on hold until the storms were over, but weaving, sewing, and things like that could still be done indoors, so Nerissa was making sure that sections of the great hall were set up for those stations.
“How are things going here?” I asked as I approached the queen.
“Excellent.” She smiled. “I think we will have plenty of room for the stations to stay running like we discussed. It will be good to be productive during the storms, and it will go a long way to deter any boredom.”
“Where are the kiddos at?” I asked and looked around for them.
“Careen took them for a nap,” Nerissa replied. “Marella wore herself along with everyone else out.”
