You hold off... for later.

“Okay...” you mutter trying not to sound disappointed with a weak smile. You take a small bit of comfort in her own smile, you lower your hands to her hips and hold her gently.

Your blood screams at you; it demands you to give but for now you hold back as you calm down in ever meaning of those two words, your breathing now back something soft. Your trousers becoming a bit less tight.

“I’ll take this watch.” Tara whispered. “If a caravan isn’t in the village when we get there then I’m sure Bronn would be happy to let us stay there again.” She rubs your cheek gently with her thumb.

Your smile grew wider as does hers “You’re going to make me wish the caravan isn’t there.” You joke.

Tara giggles before giving you a peck on the lips “You should get some rest, we have a lot of walking to do tomorrow.” You stand up and head back to the small campsite, lying down on the bedroll and silently praying that whatever travelling merchant or carriage into the village was late.

The morning was uneventful, as was the walk toward the village. It felt nice to finally break from the tree line and onwards on a clear road towards civilisation no matter how small it was and feel the breeze and sun press gently down on them.

You pass through the fields of wheat and farmers tending to their crops; some spot Tara and wave, your group waving back, the sun now setting over the fields as a light breeze rustled them.

You reach the village, heading straight to the inn, Bronn sitting at the counter, he looks suprised to see you two again, with another companion. “Tara, it’s good to see you again.” He takes a look at you, disheveled and tired “You all look rough, and I see you made another friend.”

“We had a long trip through the forest, we found our new friend deep inside.” Tara explained “She was infected with sap sickness however I was able to cure her.” Bronn nodded his head knowingly.

“Do you know if there is a carriage or caravan heading to Luxem any time soon?” You ask.

“Yeah, travelling merchant making their way through the capital to Luxem.” He informed “won’t be here till morning though.”

“Hmmm, we were hoping to get on a carriage to Luxem as soon as possible.” Tara mentions.

“Of course, if you need some rooms I’ll be happy to offer some stay for the night.” Bronn offered.

“Thank you, Bronn.” Tara replied with a warm smile “Two rooms would be good, we’ll be gone by the dawn.”

“Two rooms huh...” he said barely hiding a smirk “Yeah; the two rooms at the end of the hallway are free, enjoy your stay and I’ll see ya in the morning.” Both Tara and Adel move to the rooms while Bronn looks at you and winks with a sly smile. You wink and smile back. “Heheheh.” He laughs silently as you quickly walk back to join Tara as she enters one of the room and Adel into another, the door closing the only thing stopping you both from tearing each other’s clothes off.

Tara throws her head back, her long silver hair brushing her back as she sways her hips back on forth as she rides you with a sense of urgency. She hands are planted firmly on your chest, get nails digging into you slightly, as you hold onto her thighs. Tara let’s out muffled cry as she bites her lip, your eyes wonder across her body as your hands search and feel grabbing her breasts and squeezing them.

The bed creaks as the headboards bumps into the wall as Tara tries to move faster, a loud moan escaping her throat as you groan out in pleasure. Her breathing becomes faster until she cries out, her body shaking until she collapses onto you. You hold her, wrapping your arms around you as she holds your face, the two of you kiss each other deeply.

“Get on top.” Tara demanded in a breathless whisper. You continue to kiss her as you roll onto her, her legs now hooked over yours as you plant your knees into the bed and begin to pump into her as your arms hold her back and your hands gripping her shoulders. Your bodies pressed tightly against each other.

You both stare into each other’s eyes as your hot breath caresses each other’s face, she holds your face with her hands keeping you in place. You try to kiss her but she holds your head back, close enough to feel her breath into your mouth but still tantalisingly out of reach.

“Please...” you almost beg, you feel yourself getting closer to the edge as your thrusts become faster.

“Tell me how much you want it.” She whispers to you through her soft moans “Tell me how much you want me.”

You continue to stare into her eyes; the pressure in the base of your stomach yearning for release and your body tingles in anticipation, you want to melt into her arms.

“I want you...” you moan out to her “I love you, Tara, kiss me.” She lets goes of your face and wraps her hand around the back of your head as another grabs your shoulder as you both kiss each other with impatient hunger, moaning into each other’s mouth.

In the moment you lose yourself; thrusting yourself into her one last time, a far as you could, before spilling yourself into her, her legs keeping you in place as you weakly pump into her until you go soft in her.

You roll off her as she then places her arm around you and leg draped over your body, hugging you tightly, as she snuggles her head near your neck while you pull the covers over yourselves. As you come down from your high, you quickly realise what you said.

“Tara...” you whisper, she doesn’t respond instead the soft sound of the wheezing breath from her nose replies; she has fallen asleep.
