"You don't have to play nursemaid." Jordan held his hands up.
"Ok, fine. I'll get Grogek to do it." Elunara put her hands on her hips.
"Alright, alright. Knock yourself out." He grumbled. "Besides, I like your hands on my face."
"Which is what I believe is the main reason you don't do this on your own." She smacked his hand away from his face. "You have better places to put your hands." She grabbed his wrists and moved his hands to her ass. She picked up the little jar of salve and began to rub it on his face. "I swear, if you don't take care of yourself, you'll never see the end of..." She blinked as a chunk of the scab peeled off.
"What happened?"
She held it up with some disgust. "Well, that happened." She tossed it in the wastebasket. Running her face over the spot, she smiled. "Now, that healed nicely." Reaching over, she snagged his mirror and held it up. "See?"
He ran a hand over the cleared area. "Yeah."
She kissed him there and continued to rub the salve over the rest of his face. "Sweetheart, if you just take care of yourself, the rest will follow." She leaned in and inspected the edges. She managed to dislodge a few more chunks of the scab and rubbed more salve in the cleared areas. "You're coming along nicely, hot stuff."
He grabbed her hand. "You haven't figured out your nickname for me yet."
She laughed. "Busted." Running her fingers over his face, she smiled. "I'm still figuring us out."
He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his lap. "I'm OK with that."
Running her fingers across his face, and down his throat, she placed her mouth on his.
Jordan's hand came up her back and under her shirt. He slipped the shirt over her head and buried his face in her breasts. His hands went down and slipped under the edge of her pants. Adjusting himself, he pulled her on to the bed with him and he lay back against the pillow. She pulled off his shirt and ran he tongue up his chest. He groaned and grabbed her ass.
Kneeling over him, she grinned and tugged off her pants, tossing them to the floor. He bucked his hips up so that she could help him remove his own. She readjusted herself so that she sat on his belly, her ass touching his erection. He groaned at her as she made fascinating patterns with her teeth and tongue in the curve of his neck. With one hand, he slipped his fingers underneath her.
"You're always so damned slick." He murmured. "You drive a man to madness."
"Well, I have been working on it..." She giggled, before pressing her mouth to his. Adjusting her hips, she slid down on to him. He groaned and grabbed her hips. Using his hand, he bounced her up and down on him before turning her over with him and thrusting deep inside. She wrapped her legs around him and ran her hands across his chest. "Give it to me, Jordan." She whispered.
He knelt and grabbed her legs with his arms and her ass with his hands. With increasing force he slammed himself deep inside her. She gripped the straps she'd installed on the headboard. He had only a moment to be glad she'd padded the wall behind the headboard. Her legs clenched against him, the heels of her feet digging into his ass as she shuddered. Releasing her ass, he went forward, wrapping his arms on either side if her head.
"I love you." He whispered, before claiming her mouth with his own and releasing himself inside of her.
Later, in the dark, she untangled herself from the sleeping Jordan and slipped out of his room. Careful not to wake Tulani, she climbed in the bed with Grogek. He shifted his arm to allow her in. She cuddled up to him.
"You know, on nights like this, you can stay until morning and my feelings will no t be hurt." He put his chin on her head.
"Are you certain?"
"Just like with Tulani, it does not bother me when you spend the night with the one you went to bed with." He kissed her hair. "I might consider it insulting that you'd think I would be upset."
"You are the center of my world." She whispered.
"I know, my love. I know."
"Are you sure, Jordan?" Elunara eyed him suspiciously.
"Yeah, sure. I always liked kids. I still have some off time due to me. It'll be fun."
"You didn't even think YOU could, Elunara." Tulani reminded her. "If he wants to, I see no reason not."
Elunara crossed her arms and sighed. "Well, he is a handful. It would be nice to have another sitter."
"I do live here." Jordan crossed his own arms. "I want to be part of this family."
Elunara tossed up her arms. "Fine! Fine. Geez."
Tulani wrapped her arms around Elunara. "It's ok to play protective mommy ever so often."
"Do NOT use that word." Elunara grumbled.
"Mommy is a bad word?" Jordan raised an eyebrow.
"Its... cutesy." Elunara snorted.
Darguni reached up. "Oran!"
Jordan hefted the kid up on his hip. "Hi, there. Would you like to go for a walk?"
"He's not a puppy." Elunara grumbled.
Jordan gave her a look. "Where's Yoona's leash?"
"Come on, I'll show you." She sighed.
"I don't know why you're so against it."
"Would it make you feel any better if I told you I didn't know either?" She sighed and clipped the leash to Yoona's collar. "If you need ANYTHING..."
"I know, I know. I come back here or go to Eloise." He kissed her on the cheek. "We'll be fine."
She sighed. "I guess I know that, but this is really the first major change we have made. I'm just... worried."
He rubbed his thumb on her cheek. "Baby, don't worry." He leaned in and kissed her.
"Iss! Iss!" Darguni clapped.
"Well, I guess he sees it a lot." Jordan laughed. "In any event, you said you had appointments today, and Eloise IS mad over that bolt of cloth. It'll be a nice change of pace."
"Ugh, more like I have interrogations today. Those three priestesses won't let up. Maybe being naked will halt their incessant questions."
He brushed her hair back with the tips of his fingers. "It was you who brought me back. They may have given you power, but it was your voice that called to me. That means something." He adjusted Darguni on his hip. "Come on big guy, let's you and me go find some bears to wrestle. Grr."
"Grr!" Was Darguni's reply.
"What ARE you worried about?" Tulani frowned.
Elunara yanked at her hair. "I don't even know. Jordan's like the... fifth or sixth safest place Darguni could be."
Jordan whistled as he made his way over to the park where he'd seen other kids play. Darguni was freaking heavy for his age.
"Am I seeing this correctly?"
Jordan looked back and grinned at Renwa. "Yeah, I'm on baby duty today."
