Milady

Partings

Collin pulled her closer against his chest, his hands softly caressing her breasts, he heard her moan, he came awake, for a moment confused, looking at the sleeping woman in his arms he smiled softly at her. This was what he wanted, to feel her warm body and see her sweet face as he woke each morning, to hear her gentle breathing and feel it against his skin. His hand lay on her stomach, he gently rubbed his hand back and forth, A hatchling, no he corrected himself, a child, a human child, grew in her womb, he smiled, imagining her with a babe suckling at her breast. He couldn't in this form see if it was a male or female child, but that wasn't important all that mattered was that it thrived and grew strong. Once born, then he would teach it to survive in this harsh world of humans. Thinking once again of a child at her breast he leaned down and kissed her nipple, his hands caressed her body, his hard member rubbed against her hip with a soft sound she turned to him in her sleep. He slipped between her thighs, wanting to see her wake to his entering her. Her eyes slowly opened, she looked up at him and murmured his name, her arms slipping around his neck, she gasped as he slowly thrust into her, he leaned down and kisses her "good morn, MiLady" he smiled as his hips moved, slowly, savoring every movement, she returned the kiss and smiled softly back "good morn, My Lord." Collin heard the door open and looked over his shoulder to see Mary standing holding a pitcher of hot water, her mouth open as if to say something. She blinked several times, then quickly turned and left the room, shutting the door firmly behind her, she giggled and headed for the kitchen, just wait till Harriett heard the latest news.

MiLady groaned and pushed at Collins shoulders, "ohh, Collin, she saw us" blushing vividly, Milady pressed her face against his shoulder, Collin, chuckled "so she did, lass" kissing her deeply, his hips moving once again MiLady moaned and forgot Mary. A long time later as he lay holding her in his arms, he heard once again Marluxion's words and turned, kissing her lightly "Katrina, we must talk" she saw the serious look on his face and heard the concern in his voice, sshe looked at him and touched his cheek "what is it? Collin" his hand softly caressing her face "I have to leave, Katrina, I will be gone a month" not wanting to say it but knowing he must, "I may be gone longer, I don't know yet, if I am, I will send you a messenger, to let you know." He saw the look on her face and pulled her tightly against him "I don't want to go, Katrina but I have to, this is something I can't put off, it has to be taken care of." She wanted to cry and hold onto him, never letting him go but she nodded and kissed him softly "a month isn't such a long time, mayhaps your business will conclude even sooner" she said more to reassure herself. Collin said nothing only kissed her hard, then slapped her on her sweet bottom "I had better return to my room before Mary comes back and Jack starts looking for me." As Collin was pulling on his dressing gown, which he found laying over the back of a chair, he tried not to watch her getting out of the rumpled bed. If he did, he would end up tossing her on her back and loving her again. MiLady slipped her robe on and seeing the casket sitting on the mantel, she smiled, Collin seeing the smile and where she was looking, raised an eyebrow. "I had the most amazing dream last night Collin, there were fairies like Bitsy, and elves and even Unicorns" she said wonder filled her voice. She started to tell him of the dragon in her dream but stopped, for some reason she didn't want to mention the dragon, she had been oddly drawn to it, she knew it was the dragon, she had seen that one time, as she lay hurting in its arms. She remembered his gentle touch and the feel of him on his fingertips, warm and like smooth fine leather. Remembering his own dream, Collin only smiled at her, he wondered what Marluxion had been doing, giving such dreams. Two conflicting dreams, he shouldn't have put such dreams in her mind or perhaps it was better this way, better to have her dream of what she thought were fantasies, then dream of the man who was leaving, perhaps to never return. Not liking the direction his thoughts were taking, Collin pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately then left the room.

Collin entered his room to see Jack sitting waiting for him, "We have today and tomorrow, to finish things here, if you have any good-byes to say, best get them done with, we must be on the rode by dawn of the third day" Collin told Jack, as he washed and dressed for the day. Seeing the unhappy look on Collins face, Jack asked "I gather you didn't send for Marluxion, I'm wondering how he came to know about this whole thing, not that the old dragon doesn't have ways of finding out everything, just caught me by surprise it did." Collin rasped out "No, I didn't send for him, although I did wish a time or two that he were here, I do have my suspicions though about how he heard what I was doing." Jack unable to control himself any longer jumped up and idly folding Collins dressing gown several times looked at Collin "Marluxion didn't happen to mention a chore or two he might be having for me, did he?" Collin even though preoccupied with his own thoughts heard the worry in Jacks voice and shaking his head, told him that Marluxion had not mentioned any chores, but then he rarely told anyone anything except in his own good time. "I'm sure he will let you know soon, Marluxion doesn't keep people waiting needlessly, and if he called it a chore, well it's probably something minor, or he would have used the word task" Collin said trying to ease the look of worry on Jack's face. "You should be dancing with glee at the idea of getting out of that human body and back to your old self, my friend." Jack grinned, "it's the truth I won't miss this scrawny body and being back to my good hearty superior elf self, why the ladies must be missing me something fierce" preened Jack, thinking of a grand homecoming.
