Nuvaro: "You have never left your village before have you? It's clearly showing in the way you act right now."
Cedren: "Was I that obvious? Yes, you are right. This is my first time ever leaving past the hunting grounds. Is it that weird that I'm excited?"
Nuvaro: (Laughing softly to himself, he just smiled big as he responded.) "No, it's not weird. You just look so cute being all excited like a little kid. I just thought it was adorable, is all."
Cedren: (Uggh, he is laughing at me now. That is okay though, he probably does not see this too often.) "Done laughing at me now. As you know, with few females, most of us were never allowed to leave just in case of outsiders. How about we have some food?"
Nuvaro: "Sure thing. Father will be introducing us in a few more minutes though. We'd better stay close to him for now."
Cedren: "Okay. I just cannot help but be all giddy though. This is the most exciting thing to me."
Nuvaro: "I can tell, trust me. And I guess it is to be expected. We have kept our female members close too. So, in a way, it was kind of an obvious thing."
Cedren: (Lightly tapping his arm with my hand and a smile on my face, I looked at him with a sarcastic grin.) "Oooh damnit, you're still making fun of me. So, mean."
We smiled at each other over the trivial matter and laughed among ourselves. And so, the night went on and we were then introduced as a properly mated couple. His father even going so far as to raise our arms together showing off the matching symbols with pride showing in his face so clearly. Most cheered in congratulations to us, as some looked as though they were overly jealous. Some of their stares did make me uncomfortable and made me wonder though. There was nothing to be done about though. I did feel as though there were someone staring hard as though they may bore a hole right through me with their stare. I just was not sure who though. Regardless of the obvious feeling I was having, we made damn sure to enjoy ourselves and when the feast seemed to be finishing up, we decided it was time to retire for the evening. His father then showed us to a room he had prepared and built some time ago. Standing proud, he opened the door to what was to be our new room and showed us around. I was all smiles while I stood next to Nuvaro as he did. A small sense of excitement coming from us both.
Nuvo Hact: "This room has been prepared for you. I had it done a while ago, though I did not know it was going to take so many attempts to find your mate. Aside from that, I just wanted you to have a proper room."
Nuvaro: "Wow father, I didn't realize you were completing this without me knowing. I guess tending to the warriors has occupied most of my attention. Though now, I have to make sure my attention is split with my mate now."
Cedren: (He grabbed my hand and gently squeezed it in his, bringing my hand to his lips as he smiled at me.) "That makes me so happy. But do not worry too much about me though, I was raised as a warrior class as well. So, I should not be that much of a burden. And I can learn things fast."
His father smiled at me with a look of relief as I continued looking around the room that was to be my new bedroom and home. I also asked about helping with daily chores or training. His father just smiled at me and said I was to basically stick by his side unless he said otherwise for now. It would help our bond grow stronger. All I could do was nod with a smile as I wrapped an arm around Nuvaro' s arm. The next day would start our lives together officially as I would begin my journey to be the perfect supporting mate, or at least that was my hope. It was going to be the biggest change for us both. But a challenge we were both looking forward to. I just could not help but be happy that his family welcomed me so well. It was a dream come true to a lesser extent. I just hope that they would be proud of all I could help them to accomplish, as well as making my own clan proud. This was and is the official marking of a great alliance between our two clans. We must make sure things were good between us all, and we were the key.
Nuvaro: "Well father, we will have a long day tomorrow. I do believe my mate and I will retire to bed this evening. Please do have the warriors let me know if anything suspicious outside as usual."
Nuvo Hact: "Yes, well then. I will inform the warriors of that and of your new mate as well. And Cedren Taliesian, welcome to our family. I know you will do us proud. Let us make sure our clans have a good bond."
Cedren: "Thank you very much. I intend to do as much as I can to help. I am skilled with a bow, sword, and defensive hand to hand. Please make use of my skills."
Nuvaro: "I seem to have acquired quite the skilled mate father. I am so proud."
Nuvo Hact: "So it would seem. Be sure to check her skills. I'll see you both tomorrow morning."
Nuvaro: "I will father, you and mom have a good night."
His father leaves the room, and we are alone for the first time together. My heart is beating so fast, it felt as though it might explode from my own excitement. As I look around the room, I finally spot the futon laying folded neatly in the corner of the room. Fresh bedding neatly stacked on top. I smile in satisfaction and nod my head to Nuvaro. We both then head over and begin to lay out our bed. The thought alone makes me happy as we place it in front of the fireplace. It seemed to be the most optimal spot for our first night together.
Cedren: "I hope I can fulfill all your expectations on what I have learned. I'm worried I might disappoint everyone, or worse yet, you."
Nuvaro: "Don't worry about such things now. I will find out tomorrow what you are capable of. Besides, they must accept anyway, despite your skills because we are mated."
Cedren: "I know. It is just one of those things you cannot help but worry over. I must now represent your family as well as my own, so it's a lot of pressure."
Nuvaro: "Don't worry about such things now. Besides, I feel the same way as you. I do not want to disappoint your family either. But for now, let us turn in and get some much-needed sleep."
Cedren: "I can't argue with that. My adrenaline is finally wearing off. I might be able to sleep now."
I gave a slightly worried smile as I looked at Nuvaro. After we had dressed down to our night clothes, he grabbed me close as we sat down on the bed and prepared to lay down. He pulled me even closer and started to softly stroke my hair as he buried his face into my neck sniffing me lightly, as if he were memorizing my scent. I leaned back into him enjoying his affections, as I lightly sniffed his neck as I leaned into him. We sat in front of the fire, staring at it enjoying each other's affections. The instinctual attraction was far more intense than either of us could have realized. We did not know if it was because of the full moon being in full swing, or if it was the bond at work due to the blood magic that was used, whatever the case, it was so very intense. He softly growled in my ear as he slowly began to run his lips and teeth along my neck. I sharply arched my back, reaching my hands up to grab hold of his neck. I brought his face to mine as I started to kiss him with such an intense sense of want. He then wrapped his arms around me as he lightly as he picked me up and placed me underneath him. Using his teeth, he took my undershirt and carefully pulled it over my head while running his hands along my now exposed body, I shivered at his every touch and softly growled in pleasure. My response made him even more excited as he wasted no time in stripping himself of his own clothing. He leaned over me once more as he kissed me again and again; wrapping my legs around his waist, I pulled his body into me. He slowly reached his hand between my thighs and I felt him enter me. My whole body heated up even more as I growled softly in response to his every touch. He started off moving slowly, but as my body's reaction to his every move made him more excited, till I too, was moving my hips along with his. My breathes became louder and more ragged, wrapping my arms around him as I slightly clawed at his back. Growling softly as I did, I leaned in biting nimbly at his neck, his excitement became more intense and we both moved our bodies as one. He bit down on my neck, sucking hard as he lightly bit me again and again, as if marking me as his for everyone to see later. We kept ourselves entangled in each other till we cried out in pleasure together. Softly kissing me a few more times, he then got up and brought the pitcher of water to our bedside as he poured me a glass. He softly smiled at me as I took the water from him and began to drink it. He laid back down beside me, softly caressing my leg. I handed him the glass, he then poured himself a glass and drank it down. Sitting the glass by the pitcher, he pulled me into him as he began to softly kiss me once again, each time, we felt ourselves heat up once more. Once again, we found ourselves wrapped in each other's continued pleasures. Proving that the attraction was far more intense than we had bargained for. As the night went on, we eventually fell asleep in each other's warmth.
