He reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out a small box, but doesn't open it yet."Deliah, I've only actually known you for a handful of days. But I've seen inside your mind, I've seen what kind of person you are. I've seen how you think and act when no one is around, and I love that about you." He swallows thickly. "And more than that, I love what I see in front of me, right now. A strong woman, figuring herself out, taking control of herself and her life. I am so enamored by you, Delilah." He opens the box then, and I suck in a breath at the gorgeous ring that rests inside."A ring?" I whisper."I did some research, and found this was the typical way Mann proposed marriage. You already wear the anklet of my people, so I thought I'd go this route next." He smiles, picking it up out of the box and holding it out to me. He looks at me seriously again."Delilah, I love you. I know that. I want to be with you, for as long as there is breath in my lungs. I want to watch you change into
"Oh." I sigh as I feel his fingers moving my panties to the side as he begins his mission of making me cum. "Ooooh." I breathe out heavily as I feel his tongue on my wet folds. "Oh what are you doing?" I call out as he slips a finger in as he continues licking. He laughs, I can feel it, and wraps his lips around my aching spot, and sucks a little. I arch, and one of his hands shoots up to firmly push me by my stomach back onto the table. His push was firm, like a reminder of who was in charge right now."I told you." He teases and he pushes in another finger."Holy crap." I breathe. His hand moves from where it'd been holding me down, and I feel it come in between me and his tongue for a moment before it reaches back up and starts running over my nipple. I shudder and arch again, but he doesn't push me back this time. Just sucks on my spot and pulls his fingers out slightly, where he knows it'll make me come. I can feel my thighs clenching around his head, my body writhing against the
Ah, so you’re not a total idiot. I scoff and shake my head at my Alder, whose roots I was currently sitting on.It was the day after I had agreed to marry Erik. We had slept in the same bed, but all we did was snuggle and sleep. No matter how much I teased him, he seemed set on waiting for us to be married before he’d go all the way with me, or “deflower” me as he called it. It was nice to know he had self control, I guess. I knew there was no way I was letting him marry some other woman. My eyes flick to Reni, who has taken Chepi’s place for the day, as she had things to plan for the wedding as my personal servant. The wedding was tomorrow night, apparently it didn’t take long to plan an Alva wedding. They had been gearing for this since the second I crossed through that pond portal, so for all I knew, they already had everything set up and ready to go. Are you nervous? Asks the tree. Very. This is for real. I’m marrying an elf man from another world. I laugh out loud and Reni
“Do you regret it?” I ask Reni after a tense moment of silence. She sighs, and hangs her head. “Often. But I love what I do. I love serving Erik, and helping him protect our people. I am of better use to him this way, as it is.” She nods once, firmly, and I imagined her telling herself that line over and over again. If only she’d never had to make such a harsh choice at such a young age. I thought about how even in my old world, women were often not given freewill over their own bodies. In this world, that was even more evident. “Has it always been like this?” I ask, crossing my arms and resting them on my knees. I didn’t want to know something so cold and barbaric about this place I was slowly falling in love with. I wanted it to be perfect, but it clearly wasn’t. And that was why I kept pushing.“Since the species separated, yes.” I tilt my head to the side. “Why did they separate? Something must have happened.” Reni sighs, and finally turns to look at me. She walks over to w
The field I was currently standing in was beautiful. The grass was long and green, moving like water in the wind. There were clumps of colorful flowers popping up, drawing my eye immediately to them. Some of the plants seemed to be… glowing. So brightly colored they hurt my eyes to look at. The trees lining the edge of the field were tall and old looking, seemingly reaching out to touch the dark night sky with their twisted fingers. In some of them I could see thick rope with frayed ends swaying from the lower down branches. An image of children climbing all over those ancient trees flashed in my mind. In the distance, lights could be seen and voices could be heard. I could hear evening doves cooing, and bugs singing their song. I could hear the deep croaking of toads coming from a pond pushed in the back corner of the field. It was what I would imagine a fairy tale sounding and looking like. I half expected a deer to come up and nuzzle my neck.“You look like you’re thinking really
He looks up at the big moon with me, and I find my gaze drifting, turning to look at his eyes so that I can see the moon’s reflection in them. Sure enough, it’s like I’m staring into a lake’s surface. “I grew up a mile or so that way,” he points towards the tree line ahead of us. I turned away from his face to follow his pointed finger, where I saw the lights and heard voices earlier. “I grew up with ten younger brothers and sisters.”“That’s a lot of siblings.” I say, looking back at his handsome face. His jaw is clean and sharp looking, his lips thick, with a scar going through the top and lower right corner. It has a brother, going across his right eye. I move my gaze down to his neck, where I can see dark blue lines wrapping around from the back. I gently nudge his jawline, and he complies, twisting his head so I can see the back of his neck. I try to ignore the spark I feel when I touch his skin. A large circle tattoo, which is sliced like a pie, is on the back of his neck. Each
I snap awake, and become aware of everything all at once. The back of my neck is drenched in sweat. My dog is staring at me. It was only a dream. After the last realization, a kind of hole forms in the middle of my chest, and I can feel tears burning at the corners of my eyes. All traces of wonder and hope that came with being in a good dream washed away as my consciousness returned. I sit up, and hold my dog's head in my hands. “It was just a dream.” I tell her, and she responds by licking her waggly chops. I sigh, and let go of her face. I throw my blanket off of me, and perch on the edge of the bed. I can see my reflection in the tall black framed mirror that I have leaning against the wall across the room. My dark brown eyes look wide and wild. My shoulder length black hair is matted in the back, making it look thicker than it usually is. Even from across the room I can tell it looks like I’ve just seen a ghost.Dream or not, that was intense. I rub my fingers together, and
“I got this.” I say to my mother, stretching my neck forward to see the front of the line.It’s been four days since my dream. The day of the dream, I hadn’t really done anything. I fed my dog breakfast and then went back to bed until three, until I had to get up and get ready for work at five. Work had been busy, a pleasant distraction from thinking about my dream. The next few days after that I spent mostly trying to occupy my mind. I cleaned the house and my room, gave my dog a bath, sorted out some clothes to sell for extra cash, stuff like that. My mom thought I was on drugs and I think she was seriously considering buying an at home drug test.I’ve obviously slept since then, and no dreams like that have happened again. I had a dream that I was a mermaid trapped in disney world, and I swear, I could see the guy from the field standing outside my tank, watching me with those blue eyes that captured the moon so perfectly. I mean I know he had said he was from my dreams but... I h

Erik was going to ask me to marry him. And if I said no, that was it for us. I'd have to watch him marry another woman. I'd be his side hoe if I ever wanted anything to do with him again. And I couldn't deny, I wanted "something" to do with him. I wish we had time to do things a little... slower. That much was for sure. I knew my mom would be pissed that I was even considering marrying this man, but the thought of him with someone else made a ball of furious rage form in my chest. I swallow as we stop in front of a high entry way covered by hanging flowers."Have fun, Lady Delilah." I smile at Chepi and walk through the flowers.Here we go.The greenhouse was probably twenty feet by twenty feet, with rounded edges rather than squared like the rest of the rooms. The ceiling was replaced with a crisscrossing wood pattern, no glass though, just vines and flowers and moss climbing over the wood. I wondered if it'd form a natural roof one day. The sides of the room have rows of seedlings
"What are we doing today, Lady Delilah?"It was rhe next day. I spent the night alone, and in my own head luckily. I'm sitting in the tub currently, my favorite spot in the house."Will I get to see Erik tonight?" I whine. I was bored without him. I had hung out in the kitchen and helped make and clean up dinner yesterday and hadn't finished until it was dark out. I had enjoyed talking to the cooks, including Pur who was baking bread as she said she always did."Yes, Lady Delilah. And don't forget what else is happening tonight?" She leans towards me in the tub, handing me a small tub of scrubby looking stuff. I nod, holding a smile back."What if you're wrong though and I'm getting excited for nothing?" I scoop out the rough paste and bring my leg up out of the water. Chepi said she was going to shave my legs, which was fine, because they needed it. So, I was exfoliating first."I am not wrong. He told me. I wasn't really supposed to tell you, but my loyalty lies with you, not Erik.
"You saw, yes?" I nod, walking closer to the men. "Would you like to try?" I flick my eyes up to him quickly then, laughing a little. "I'm serious." He certainly looks it. I squat down in front of the balancing men without answering him, looking at the streams of light connecting their fingers to the earth below them. This man's light was green colored, this one was light blue."It goes with the elements they can control." Erik has squatted down with me. "Tye here," he pokes the man with the blue light coming from his finger, "can manipulate ice. He channels it from the core of the world, and therefore, levitates." I tilt my head a little at the floating man. "Want to try?" He asks again."I can't do that." I point to the men. Erik laughs."Don't be silly. I don't want you to do that." He stands, and I follow suit. "Men." Erik booms. Their eyes open, and they listen, still floating. "If any of you drop my goddess, you will be fed to the boars for dinner." he grins then, crossing his a
As we come close to the main building, I can hear voices and yelling. Thudding, and oofing."They're training." Chepi tells me as we round the corner into the empty grassy area in front of the huge building.The first thing that catches my attention, is a group of twenty or so Alva paired off, sparring against each other. Reni is walking in-between the pairs, making comments too quiet for me to hear, correcting foot placement and suggesting moves as she does. They're in the front of building, out in the open. Looking between them, I can see a large entry way leading into another training area."Erik is in there." I look away from where I'd been trying to see into the building, and meet eyes with Reni, who is looking at me now and pointing behind her. I nod a little, giving her an awkward thumbs up. She tilts her head to the side a little, and then returns to telling her men how to better beat each other up. Chepi and I make our way around the men, finally slipping into the building.
Hello, Child. I sigh in happiness as I finally lay on the roots of my Alder almost an hour later. Chepi had brought her stool and her knitting again and was focused on it.But the conversation I wanted to have with my Alder was extra private today.I have something I want to ask you. I think, feeling a little silly.A secret from this woman you claim to trust. I nod against its roots. Ask away, child.Do you know anything about the Gud species? I turn away from Chepi and curl into a ball, closing my eyes and listening to the tree's words in my head.The Gud species is, as you suspect, descended from the original God, Forradd, who had great powers. He could change forms, manipulate the earth, and even time itself. Now Forradd was desperately in love with Sanju, the original goddess.I laugh a little. It kind of seemed like everyone's problems could be chalked up to loving someone.Pay attention. Sanju was originally a normal Alva, which is why she's depicted as having pointed ears, and
