Origin

Chapter 25- "It is your choice."

I was startled awake by yelling, more specifically Nick yelling at the stop of his lungs as he towered over our naked bodies. Sebastian held me in, close, covering me as if I was swaddled in a cocoon. 

He groaned awake, glancing down at me before letting out an annoyed sigh. "What do you want?" His voice hoarse and strained.

"Someone had a good trip." Nick teased.

"Go away."

"Sorry, not sorry to interrupt but all of the Ravens have arrived and they are getting restless waiting for the trials to start."

"What? It's too early, there is still one more day."

"No, brother, you have been missing for a day and a half. This lavender scent should be illegal." 

I blushed. We lost track of time. I closed my eyes, feeling his lips touch my cheek, shoulder, stomach. His scent lingered on my body, his essence collided with mine creating  a world of our own, nothing else existed. Sarmia was right. We made love over and over and over, until my body was no stranger to his. He was gentle at first, each touch hesitate but filled with skill and tenderness. So much tenderness. 

"You went to an orgy and didn't invite me?"

"We did not– go away. We will be there soon."

I heard Nick's footprints recede, when suddenly I remembered. "Wait, Nick, how did it go with the Elders?" My throat was dry and I could hardly recognize my voice.

"We decided the best exit route would be by river. It stretches along Boar territory and should be a close distance for your people to travel into Raven territory." 

"Do you know if the toxin is complete?"

"Yes, it was completed this morning."

"Have you been selling your alcohol on my lands?"

He paused. "Yes...?"

I smiled. "White Bear appreciates it, keep up the good work."

He chuckled. "Congratulations and all that, I hope he was worth all the hype."

"Goodbye, Nick." Sebastian firmly said.

"If your Ravens get too restless, spread the toxin where the planted tree seeds are. White Bear will help you protect their skin and faces." I suggested. 

"Good idea, Goldilocks." Nick sprinted off with an evil laugh. 

Sebastian shifted, so the fresh air could wash over me, the blue sky was so far away but clear to see. I felt his fingers on my spine, sliding up gently touching me. His lips pressed against my forehead, nose, trailing down to his non-existent mark that disappeared days ago. I wrapped my arms around him, smiling. 

This is how it starts. One touch and we would be lost in our world of bliss, moaning each other's names unable to stop because we turned slaves for our desires. We didn't want to stop because his scent was all the air I needed, his arms were my warmth, his hands were my protection, his body was my home: safe, sheltered and everything I have been searching for. 

"We shouldn't." I said suddenly, before his hands could cause anymore trouble. 

He smirked, resting his forehead on mine as his fingers skimmed between my legs. "Give me one reason why."

I gasped as he touched my pearl. "Ravens are here, we lost track of time."

"That sounds like a reason why we should keep going." He swirled his finger, electricity my core. "This trial will be long and uneventful because all I want to do is pleasure you like this. All I want to do is see your face like this." He began to polish and rotate. "I have never felt like this."
