The Breath of Water | Neteyam

60 • Many Seeds Have Blossomed Pt. II

A/N: Guys, I am currently writing the chapter the game is in, and man--it is SO long (the longest chapter in this story)! I had decided writing it all in one chapter instead of splitting it like I did with the second phase because I wanted to get this plot point done instead of lollygagging. I have been writing nonstop for four days straight so my fingers are angry at me, lol. But I can't wait till you guys get to it and read it, and I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had writing it 😊 (this is also like your warning of the length—chapter 63 WILL BE VERY LONG, so pls do not complain about its length 🥹, I just like giving you guys immersive scenes and sometimes it takes a lot of words to do so🙂) Anywho, let's return the story~

Lo'ak had just came from hanging with Payakan when he came across Masanai; he had been meaning to thank her for teaching him how to play the game, but always forgot to do so. She was wrapping her fingers in some bandages when he saw her; her fingers appeared to be bleeding.

He was kind of confused, but when he saw the blood, he grew worried. "Oh, hey again..." he started as he walked around to her front. When she became aware of his sudden presence, she jumped, holding her fingers close to her chest. "...is everything alright?"

"Oh, it is you again..." she said, gathering the bandages she had dropped, then holding her hands in fists close to her chest. "...and yes, e-everything is good...did you need something?"

He decided not to bring up the bleeding, since it was clear as day that she didn't want to talk about it, as she was trying so hard to hide it. "...well I just wanted to thank you again for coming up to me and explaining to me the game. Although, I do not think I've had enough time...so I might end up letting your team down if my brother does choose to add me."

She sighed as she watched him speak. The second son. The afterthought.

"Lo'ak, it will be fine. He will pick you...and it's okay. You got some super players on your squad."

"Yeah...super players..."

She was going to pat his shoulder, but her fingertips were in too much pain, causing her to wince and retract her hand. Lo'ak then got up, thanking her once again, and left. She sighed again, proceeding to stare down at her hands. Her bloodied fingertips were burning, but it wasn't too bad. She looked up to the sky, knowing that she would be fine in time for the games.

"Neteyam..."

He slid his tongue across her side, leaving hickeys along the way; he did this as a warmup for what he really wanted to do. Liyanin sighed as he let his mouth travel across her skin. He tightened the grip he had on her hips, wanting to hold her in place so he could accomplish his task, careful to not ruin her clothes; he had placed his hands under the material so he wouldn't disturb said fabric. Her body shifted as he continued to kiss her tummy and sides, his lips soft on her skin. She held his head, feeling for his hair.

He then lifted off of her stomach and stared at her face, his chest heaving. She had realized he stopped, and looked down at him, only to be met with his eyes boring into hers.

"This might hurt a little," he said, rubbing her sides with his thumbs. "...what I am about to do." She breathed in before grabbing his cheek, caressing it.

"I am curious, so do it." She whispered. He exhaled once more, then licked his teeth. He turned his attention back to her stomach, his eyes searching for a target. When he finally found a place to enact his cravings, he placed his lips there, giving her a soft and gentle kiss.
