Welcome to my second story on literotica.com. This is going to be an unedited story since I can post the chapters faster than with an editor. I don't mind having an editor and actually appreciate the work she has been doing but I would like to kick out a chapter or two every couple of weeks. My World of the Silver Moon is edited which has led to slow posts. I don't mind what so ever but I would like to have a story that I can post in my time and when I want.
Having said all that any sexual relations are 18+ and though there are kids in the story there will not be any underage relationships that include sex. If you have a problem with kids in my stories then go find something else to read. I don't need any comments that go 'ick, you have kids getting nude to bathe' or anything like that since it is simply a normal part of the tribe or clan since the bathing area is communal. If you have a problem deal with it.
I have to say that I am sorry for the really slow second chapter. I have had a few family issues come up as well as some personal medical issues. I really did intend to have this chapter out several weeks ago. One thing I ran into was this chapter sort of felt like it went in fit and starts. I do hope you enjoy this chapter. For those who are reading my other story I got my next chapter back from the editor and am reviewing it. As usual I want any and all feed back as long as it is constructive. It can be positive or negative and I will accept it. Now if it is just 'you suck' I will ignore it. Enjoy.
Chapter 2
The last few days had been much the same for him as he finished healing. In the morning he would take a bath with Sorrel and then settle down with the boys who were learning music. Once that was done he would get something to eat and then as best possible he was working with some of the warriors to regain some of his strength. That was interesting since they were trained in such a different manner than he had been. To them their job was to protect the clan and that was how they were trained. His training had been to kill and then not worry about them coming back. He was doing his best to try and learn their style and not teach them his.
One thing he sort of felt bad about was how much he was enjoying sleeping next to Sorrel and yes that included making love to her. Each morning when they got up they strolled to the bathing area and took a good bath. "So how long are you going to be in this location? I can tell that you are nomadic and will probably be moving soon." That idea scared him since he only had this place as where he came through but would have to go with since he knew he couldn't survive on his own here.
Sorrel relaxed back in the water and leaned her head back against the side and was obviously enjoying the warm water. "Um, maybe in two or three weeks. We will move before the rainy season hits and go to higher grounds. The rainy season tends to last for about three months." She looked at him and gave him a gentle look. "I know what you are thinking but we are nomadic but will do what we can to get you back to your world." She moved closer to him and curled an arm around him. "We will do what we can Jim. Give us a chance. Right now you are healing and we are giving you time to heal."
He sighed and leaned into her hug. "It does scare me that I can't get home but to be honest I am enjoying here as well." Jim lightly rubbed his shoulder that was aching as they were talking. "Your world is so different than mine and I have been enjoying working with your warriors as well as learning music from the kids." There were several of the tribe there and they had to smile.
"We have heard of you sitting with some of the little ones and learning how to play the Gitturn with them. Any one that helps with the littles gets respect." The male moved over and settled next to them. "We have been watching you and see how you treat the kids as well as how you are in the warrior circle. You are a good human and it is showing. You are a good addition to the tribe."
Jim lowered his head and had to consider what the man was saying. It was rather nice but also in a way painful since the man didn't have any real clue as to what he had done back in his world. "Thank you Thomas. You have no idea how much that means to me. The kids are great and I am enjoying getting back into shape. My shoulder still aches a great deal but the exercise it is helping."
Sorrel leaned against him and sighed. "You are going to be fine Jim and most have noticed how you are spending time trying to do things for the tribe. You are earning credit for what you are doing." She gave him a light kiss. "You might start finding little gifts of thanks outside my tent for keeping the kids busy." She rested her head on his shoulder and smiled at the other male. "Thank you for what you said to Jim Thomas. He needed to hear it since he has been fretting over doing something to earn his keep."
Jim curled around her and tried not to cry since what was being said almost hit him close to his heart. He didn't have a great deal of family and having Thomas tell him that they appreciated what he had been doing. One thing he had been doing was to teach the kids some of the music he had grown up with. It wasn't hard rock or anything like that and was towards folk since that was much along the lines of what they played. "Thanks Thomas that means more than I can express."
Eventually they got out of the hot spring and he quickly dressed and once she was done getting dried off and dressed headed towards breakfast. He was silent as they walked and ended up with a simple 'thank you' at the food table since he was still trying to come to terms with what both she and Thomas had to say. When they arrived at her tent he settled in a chair and slowly ate it. "Sorry but I need to think right now Sorrel."
She gave him a light hug before she settled down and started eating. "Relax Jim and you will be fine." Sorrel started nibbling on some veggies as she watched him eat his food. She was sort of worried about how he was reacting to the total change of worlds. Yes there had been a few nightmares he had that she had held him through and wished there was something she could do for him. "You are such a good man Jim. You will be a blessing to the tribe if you can't go back." No she didn't expect him to stay in her tent long term but she really did like what she was coming to care for him.
Jim lowered his head slightly. "Maybe not as good as you think but that is my past. I don't want to talk about it." He poked a fork into a piece of meat and sighed. "I don't know if I want to go back or not. Your world is so much nicer than mine." He kept his head down and kept working on the food. "We will see about what I might be able to do for the tribe." One thing that he was proud of was that being with the kids allowed her to take care of what she needed to do during the day.
She leaned across the table and stroked his cheek. "One of these days we will talk but I do understand James." Sorrel turned back to her breakfast and kept munching on the food. "Jim you are you doing more than you can imagine. Some of your songs have started making the rounds." She sort of dimpled at him. "One or two of the song smiths are feeling sort of cranky and really do want to talk to you about them."
He snorted as he leaned into her hand. "God that is so silly that a simple thing as teaching a few songs is adding to the tribe." He closed his eyes and pressed his hand against hers and sighed. "Your society is so different than mine and it is taking me time to really understand how you do things." No he didn't love her but did feel attraction to her and had to admit that their bed play was more than a bit fun. She was a good looking woman and talking to her was enjoyable. "Well time to go and spend the morning with the littles and keep teaching them."
She laughed at him and gave him a kiss. "You will learn and you are doing good things for the tribe. Let's go and find the kids and give you your morning session of music." Sorrel was finished with her food and noticed he was as well. Once he finished they gathered up their plates and took them to where the dishes were done before she dropped him off. "Go have fun Jim and I will see you later."
He returned the kiss and tried to imagine how he was doing good things for the tribe but didn't bother asking her since he was sure he wouldn't understand. "Yes ma'am and thank you." He gave her a hug before heading off towards where they kids would be. He had been there enough that he knew where they would be. "I will see you this evening." Sorrel would be busy for most of the day doing her own thing searching for food and whatever else she did.
Eventually he made it to the group of kids that were learning how to play the instruments. Over the last few days he had noticed that the group had started getting larger. "Morning all and I think I have figured out your chords and have a song for you." He gathered up the Gitturn that he had been using and lightly strummed it. "This is called Sweet Child of Mine by a group known as Guns and Roses."
Over the last few days he had learned the chords and he started strumming the cords and softly started to sing. By the time he was done he opened his eyes. "That is a song from my world that I greatly cherish. The tune is not something you are familiar with." He kept strumming the Gitturn and looked down at it. "Here is another song for you." He started the lyrics for Carry on my Wayward son by Kansas.
The two inu kids moved over and leaned against him as he was singing. "Those are wonderful songs Jim. They loved what he was showing them as he learned how they sang and played. "You have such lovely songs and stories that you tell." Both looked at each other and sort of nodded since they knew what they were going to do that evening. They knew that he wasn't in an exclusive relationship with Sorrel and they wanted to introduce him to one of the ladies that took care of them.
Jim gave both boys a hug and then went back to what they had been teaching him. "I am glad you enjoyed them and have been enjoying what all of you have been teaching me." Eventually they finished the lessons and he headed to lunch before heading to his training with the warriors.
"Afternoon and how are you doing?" He asked them and started stretching before they started working out. His shoulder was still aching somewhat and they knew that but didn't give him much slack as they were training. "Try not to abuse me to much today please. Sorrel was complaining last night that I had too many bruises." He grinned at them when he said that.
Several of the warriors snickered. "'Are we cutting into your nooky at night? We have heard her chittering since you moved into her tent." Sex was sort of an open topic since the tents didn't conceal much.
