Chapter Twenty-Seven
Lucy
“Aw, you called him your mate!”
Kiah clapped his hands and blew a bubble with his lips.
I readjusted the blanket around me, tucking it in around my body so I could use my hands to check on Simon. I kneeled on the ground and shook his shoulder. He was still warm, breathing, and let out a huff into the dirt.
“What did you do?” I asked again, irritated.
Was she going to sit there and coo over the fact that I said he was my mate?
“Ah, well, I had to put him out before he hurt himself. Thorn said it would be for the best.” She tapped the straw-like dart gun on her chin. “And I have to agree with him. Simon has the best intentions, but ogres are dangerous.”
I carefully rolled Simon over, my hands grazing his smooth skin as I searched for any signs of bumps or bruises. The faint scent of the ogre’s blood and dirt was there. Relief washed over me as I realized Simon was unharmed, his skin clean and untouched by injury. The lingering residue of the ogre’s presence clung to him.
“What did you hit him with?” I rubbed my fingers where the dart hit. It was as tiny as a pinprick, barely noticeable.
“It’s a dart that can knock out an ogre for a day. It works well, so the orcs can catch and decapitate them without much fuss. Clean and easy to clean up, you know? With Simon, he will be out for a few days.”
My mind raced before I went into full panic mode. Just hours ago, she told me their story. This must be the same poison that Thorn accidentally exposed her to when he captured her and then nursed her back to health. Ellie would have died if Thorn hadn’t massaged the special oil into her skin to revive her muscles. What about Simon?
I gritted my teeth and stood in front of her. Who cared if she had an orcling in her arms! “You don’t know that! Simon is so much smaller than an ogre! This could kill him!”
Ellie shook her head vehemently. “No, it can kill a human, not a person with special healing abilities from this realm. Remember, things here heal quickly. They have faster immune systems. Scratches heal in a few hours rather than days. Simon will be fine. Trust me.”
My mouth hung open in dismay as I turned to Simon.
“I can withstand the poison now that I am mated to Thorn. I accidentally pricked my finger when I was pregnant because I couldn’t sleep. That was the best rest I have had in ages.” Ellie eyed the dart longingly in her hand. I grabbed it from her and held it away.
“No, you don’t. I need help with this.”
Ellie chuckled and raised Kiah back up on her hip. “Fine, party pooper. Let’s get him inside the tent.”
Ellie continued to explain her reasoning for why she darted Simon. He was acting crazy, not how an average male would act. When I told her I believed he was in a rut, she ' awwwed’ in understanding.
He was protecting me in the only way he knew how. Simon wanted the threat destroyed and if I let it continue, he may have succeeded, but I couldn’t stomach watching him destroy the ogre piece by piece.
Ellie unceremoniously dropped Simon’s hand once we got him on the bed. She was stronger than I was. The arm she pulled seemed like a pillow behind her while I was huffing and puffing.
Again, I needed to work out.
“Might want to cover that.” Ellie snickered. “His dick is quite prominent, large even for a faun, isn’t it?”
I blushed furiously and covered it with a blanket. Not that it did anything to hide just how big of a problem it was. It was leaking and twitching. I groaned and slapped my forehead in distress.
“And what an interesting pouch he has.” Ellie leaned over to try and examine his covered bulge .
Even when Simon was drugged, the thing was all set to go.
I quickly covered the rest of his body with a blanket. “He is rutting, as I said. At least that is what I have concluded. He’s showing the basic signs of what animals do when they need to expel their seed, and it appears your drug will not subdue it.”
Ellie hummed in agreement. “Told you that dart won’t keep him out for long. I’d say he has a few days, though, since I gave him an ogre dose. It will give your vajayjay a rest, at least.”
I turned away, covering my mouth with my hand.
“Yeah, smelled both of you a mile away.” Ellie looked at my shoulder. “No mark yet?”
I sighed and shook my head. That was the whole reason why we needed Starla.
Ellie carefully lowered Kiah onto the soft, plush blankets spread across the blanketed floor. As she did, I glimpsed his bright, curious eyes, taking in the colorful surroundings. Kiah’s tiny hands grasped the blanket, and he brought it to his mouth.
“I’d have him go for your shoulder or a neck bite.” Ellie pointed toward me. “That is how most of the realm does it. Only the orcs don’t, but I think that is because of their tusks. Could you imagine being bitten by those?” Ellie shuddered.
It made sense, but didn’t I want to find out for sure? Simon said when he got back, he was going to bite me everywhere, and I believed he would. The bite on my boob was something else. When he hit the right spot, what would I feel then?
Was it an experiment I was willing to try? My body immediately said yes.
Kiah, who was playing on the floor, grunted and stared up at me. His beady, little yellow eyes were judging me. I just knew it.
He couldn’t read my dirty thoughts, could he?
“I need to speak to Starla,” I muttered.
Ellie shook her head. “Sorry, there just isn’t a way to contact her, and she only specializes in orc matings, since they are so different.”
I tilted my head and stared at her in question.
“She’s part of a witch collective that helps orcs to get their mate because they are obviously not the traditional soul to become mated with.”
I pointed to Simon, rather than his dick, which was sticking up under the sheet. “What about that? How is that traditional?”
“All guys get hard-ons,” Ellie scoffed. “If Starla hasn’t seen you yet, it’s because she thinks you have it under control or you are smart enough to figure it out for yourself. I mean, it took me a few times because I was pretty broken after my relationship before Thorn happened.” Ellie picked up Kiah and held him to her chest. “That all changed rather quickly once I believed Thorn would never leave me.”
“Because of the bond?” I asked.
Ellie smiled. “The bond helped, but I fell for him because I wanted to. I still have a choice in the matter. I wish I fell for him sooner and let go of all my doubts and past issues, but I am happy with the outcome.”
I understood exactly what she said. Ellie had a whole month before she bonded to Thorn, yet here I was after a week and ready to do it myself.
I was not completely hopeless, I guess.
Ellie departed, leaving me with a sleeping Simon. I didn’t know the effects the poison would have on him, but before Ellie left, she said she used to be very conscious when it appeared she was sleeping. Simon could be wide awake at this moment, and I wouldn’t know.
I cleaned him up the best I could with what I had, using the clean water and rags that I would refill from the buckets in the room. I carefully washed him from head to toe, trying to be as gentle as possible. Despite his condition, he looked peaceful in his sleep, and I didn’t want to disrupt that. The water felt warm against my skin, and I couldn’t help but think how strange it was that I was taking care of a faun in this manner.
As I cleaned him, I noticed a subtle change in his breathing. It seemed to deepen and slow down, as if he were responding to my touch. It made me smile knowing that even in this state, he was still aware where I was.
This faun was nuts.
As I got closer to his groin, I lifted the sheet off of it and stared at it. I mean, who wouldn’t stare at it? It was a thick thing of beauty.
Can a dick be pretty?
It was the only one I had ever wanted.
I washed around him, wiping away the dirt and grime. Once satisfied, I went to replace the sheet but saw his dick twitch. Not once, but several times.
I gazed back at his sleeping face. No signs of distress. He looked sound asleep.
Except his dick was wide awake. All big, throbbing and with precum leaking out of it.
Poor thing must be hurting.
I licked my lips and made sure the tent flap was shut. I kneeled between his spread legs and lowered my head to it.
I wasn’t considering doing what I was thinking, right?
Hoe Lucy was back .
What if he was in pain, having his dick sitting upright and hard for so long? On Earth, they said that if your erection lasted more than four hours, you should go to the hospital. That’s at least what I heard dad talking to some other man about.
And… blue balls? Was that a thing?
But we weren’t on Earth, Lucy. We were in a magical realm. Surely you can leave his dick alone for one second for him to get better.
Then, it twitched again.
Impulsive thoughts won this round.
I grabbed the base of his cock, not thinking of the consequences. I hadn’t had time to ask for consent to touch him while sleeping, but I felt that since he had seen me naked asleep and actually freaking undressed me, this would be fine.
Yeah, I’m gonna go with that.
I was just trying to help him out; this was for him, not me.
I swirled my tongue around the cock’s head, and Simon’s breathing picked up.
It wasn’t long before I felt his body tense, the rhythm of his breath hitching as I continued my ministrations. His cock twitched again, and I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of it.
“Simon,” I whispered, unsure if he was conscious or still asleep. “Are you awake?”
A low groan was his only response, but it was enough to let me know he was aware of what was happening. My heart raced with a mix of excitement.
This was so— naughty.
My jaw could only open so wide, but I felt the muscles in my mouth relax. His come was warm, tasting of the root we had earlier. I took him deeper into my mouth, relishing the way his hips involuntarily bucked slightly into my mouth.
Simon's groan came from the back of his throat as I continued to pleasure him, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of power knowing I was the one bringing him this much pleasure, even while his paralysis held him.
I hummed as more come leaked from the head. I dipped my hand into his pouch and held onto the large sack. It was drawn up against his body as he tensed, and I felt his come explode into my mouth.
I slurped around his cock, cleaning him up. I didn’t know come could taste this good, but I was here for it. “Mmm, Simon.” I wiped the come away from my mouth and noticed dick didn’t rise immediately afterward like it had been doing.
Perhaps the poison will keep him limp for a while.
I nestled myself in the softness of the bed next to him, drawing the warm covers snugly around our bodies. As I exhaled deeply, the sound of my contentment mingled with the rhythmic beat of his heart, resonating against my cheek.
“Good night, Simon. Sleep well.”
