Barbarians wife

6:Morning after

Autumn

I was in a warm unfamiliar place. It's was quite comfortable yet I still had to open my eyes to see where I was only confirming my original suspicion, every thing that happened was not a dream.

I push myself up from the somewhat hard surface and look down. My new husband slept peacefully underneath me.

I tried my best to wiggle out of the grip is had on my waist without waking him however soon after he began to stir.

"What's wrong". He shot up asking attentively

He studied my face for any sign of emotion.

"I'm sorry was I smushing you" I asked finally wiggling off him.

To make matters worse I had drooled all over his bare
chest. I search for something my wipe his chest yet am pulled in by my husband.

"I will live, go back to sleep" he'd laid his head on top of mine careful not to put the full weight down.

He clung to me like a child which was somewhat adorable. The mean scary orc was begging his wife for five more minutes of cuddling.

I let out a small giggle at the thought. He, in response, flipped me of my back and laid between my legs with his head rested on my breast as if they were pillows.

The big scary orc was also very heavy.

" Hey" I complained wiggling underneath him. His iron grip and heavy body made it hard to move and impossible to escape. He groans at me to be still as he stiffed to make himself comfortable again. His face laid happily between the valley of my breast making me wonder if he really just wanted to cuddle.

I let out a sign and allow him a bit more time. I had already gotten my energy needed for the day so I only had to wait for him. While I did I liked to trace my fingers along the seams and scars of his back.

There so many battle scars in addition to the ones that I caused for him last night. Guilt quickly staled the  mood. Every memory from that night flooded in good and bad.

I'd simply have to make it up to him. I look down at the black braid and smiled. His hair was unlike anything I'd seen, it was long and thick and hardly tangled. I studied his face taking it all in. He was quite beautiful, far from what the rumors had suggested. Other then his tall, strong stature and green skin and eyes or the sharp tusks that stuck out on either sides of his lips he was no more a regular human man.

For once in my life I could look forward to being married. He has shown many times he is capable for properly caring for me and has every intent of doing so.

I rubbed my hand gently in his hair and the other on his back and smiled. I yawned and stretched pressed against him. Maybe I could use a bit more rest too, it was early.

I closed my eyes and allowed myself to relax. I was allowed to do that now, I had a husband who'd take care of me and a nice house. It was like a dream. If only mama could see me she'd be be proud.

After a longer then intended nap we rose from our sleep and he prepared breakfast. I offered to cook for us, as id been taught to do when I was young, yet he refuse  every time and insisted He be the one to do it.

Once I'd gotten done grooming myself I headed down stairs following the delicious aroma of fresh food.

I was soon meet with the sight of my husband slaving away at the stove making me giggle a little bit when I saw the stretched tight apron he attempted to put on.

My giggle caught his attention and he asked me to set the table because breakfast would soon be done.

I did so happily but was disappointed when I found myself with work again. I'd grown to hate sitting still i away had to be moving, working. As a realist of constantly having to move around when working being still or resting only meant one thing, I was losing money. Something I couldn't Afford to do.

I walked over to my busy husband and tugged at his apron.

"Is there anything else I can help you with"I groaned hating to be a bother.

He stops for a moment and gives it a good thought the finally returns to me with an answer.

"I forgot to bring in the melon. Will you go fetch one for me?" He offered

I eagerly shook my head and ran upstairs to grab be basket. When i arrived back downstairs he handed me a small hand knife and gave me directions to the patch.

It was a small area near the back of the house.

I ran out and around the house and carefully examined each melon. Most where not yet ripe but After a bit of searching I found a decent one.

I made sure to knock just my mama taught me. I gave it three good knocks and payed close attention to the sound produced. It's gave off a hollow noise and had a yellow belly so I knew it was ripe.

Grinning ear to ear, I pulled at the stem.

Then a large animalistic growl came from behind me. I reluctantly turn around to see a tall orc like being. He in a way resembled my orc yet was much skinnier and probably younger too.

"You dare steal from my brother" I growled pointing the tip of a large axe at my throat.

My throat went dry and I was at a loss of words. How could i possibly explain that I wasn't stealing. I sat there cowering on my knees.

"I SHOULD PUT YOU TO DEATH RIGHT HERE"  he barked

I shook violently.

"Im not stealing" I said praying someone would come save me

"LIAR" he said push the axe closer to my throat so it made a small painful cut.

"IM NOT LYING. HE TOLD ME TO TO GET THIS MELON" I shouted back

"This one's got balls" a deep voice laughed from behind

The skinny orc lowered his weapon and stepped to the side allowing me a view of the other orc. He was much bigger and bulker the the skinny one.

"Now looks like we have a little thief on our hands" he said kneeling down to my level.

I no longer sat cowering but rather pissed off now. It reminded me of when I got bully in my younger years. I'd sit crying and Scared as they taunted me. Never again.

"I am no thief" i grit

He reaches his hand out to grab me but I quickly grabbed out my knife and stabbed it's through his hand.

We all stood shocked at my sudden bravery and stupidity. He slowly retracted his hand and pulled the knife out. Not once did he flinch.

Another growl came from behind me only this time it was familiar. I turned back to see my angry husband and run behind him like a scared little kid.

"All of you in the house now" he growled letting me know he was most definitely angry.
