She snagged the boys.
"Ack! Momma!"
"What did we do?"
"Listen, you can get back to your friends in a minute. Someone is after me, and they've already killed someone just to send a message. I want you two to be extra careful. I would be devastated if anything happened to you."
"Aw, Momma, we'll be fine."
"NO! No false bravado, no cockiness. You two HAVE to stay safe, and stay aware. I won't have someone spilling your blood just to upset me. Promise me."
"Yes, Momma." They replied in unison.
She hugged them. "Also, watch out for Lydia. I can't have someone just randomly deciding she's an easier target."
"Of course, momma." Bradly blushed. "I'll keep her safe."
"We'll keep her safe." Darguni nodded.
After updating her drawings, and conferring with Mathias, she spent her time hunting down people just to warn them. Outside of Tippy's, she rubbed her neck and yawned. She did not get enough sleep last night to deal with this today.
"Hey! Elunara!"
She watched Andrew jog up.
"Can I talk to you?" He blushed. "Alone?"
"Yeah, sure. I was just headed home."
"Cool."
Once inside, he looked around. "Much like the last one."
"I don't think you're here to assess my house."
He fidgeted in place. "Well, you see... It's... ah..."
"Just blurt it out." She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall.
"I'm jealous, ok? I'm ridiculously jealous of Mark, and Gerald. Hell, I'm even jealous of John. They're all so goddamned sappy in love with their wives. Sorry, language."
"Language is the least of our concerns, given what we've done." She grinned.
He flushed. "Ah, anyway." He rubbed his neck. "I've been kind of lucky in my life, barely escaping and all, but like, I just want to be lucky in love for once. I'm rather..." He rocked his head back and forth. "Awkward. I've had a few girlfriends, but nothing really serious. You're aces at finding life mates for people, so I figured I'd ask you for help."
She licked her lips and grinned. "Sweetie, I think I have the perfect girl for you."
"Really?" He grabbed her hands.
"Now, she's a young widow and has a little girl. Are you OK with that?"
"I always liked kids. Kind of wanted one or two myself..."
"Good man. I'll set something up."
Rachel opened the door and blinked at Elunara. "Um, yes?"
"Can I come in for a minute?"
"Oh, yes. Sure." She scooted back.
"I've brought you the file of the one I think is a match for your request." She held it out. "He's a soldier, sweet as pie, and just a little awkward."
Rachel blinked at the file, before taking it and opening it. "Oh." She flipped through. "You are really thorough."
"I've known him for a few years. He's a good guy. Passionate, sweet and very detailed. You should see that he's quite the survivor. He did well in Draenor, and you can't get rougher than that. He never lost that cute streak though."
"I... will have to give it some thought."
"I haven't given him your file yet. I had to know whether or not you'd be interested. We can set up a meet at my place."
"Does... my file have this much?"
"Everything. I can omit things you're not willing to give over, but I recommend total honesty in all relationships." Elunara shrugged. "I can take out things you don't want him to know right now, but are willing to give him on your own. You have full control over what I give."
Rachel licked her lips. "I'll meet him."
"Good girl."
A few days later, once the meet was concluded, Elunara pushed the pair of them out of her door. Closing the door behind her, she whistled as she cleaned up her boards.
Tulani leaned against her door. "You and your matchmaking schemes."
"Schemes nothing, both people came to me and asked for help. I think they looked adorable together."
"They did. I kind of liked Andrew, he's always so sweet."
"Speaking of sweet, how's your little side business going?"
"Oh, I can't bring myself to broach the topic." Tulani sighed. "Nor have I figured out how to tastefully display them."
"I can help with that." Elunara grinned.
"Uh oh." Tulani giggled.
Elunara marched down to the training yard, and found Grogek on the side, watching. "Hey Sugarbear, up for the Grove tomorrow?"
He eyed her. "Why do I feel like I'm being involved in a plot?"
"Tulani is having difficulty figuring out how to advertise her newest designs. You know... the fun ones? So, I figure, I take a little sampling out to The Grove, make a spectacle of myself, and get some husbands interested." She winked.
Wrapping his arms around her waist, he laughed. "I do like your little schemes."
"Now, I just have to plan how best to pull it off..." She licked Grogek's lips. "Literally."
He grinned. "I will be glad to assist... Anything to help our dear Tulani."
She snorted. "Yeah right." Looking around, she spotted the man she was after. "GERALD!"
"WHAT NOW, WOMAN?"
"THE GROVE! Tomorrow night!" She strolled through the yard and made her way over. "Chrissy might be interested to see what I get up to." She winked.
"Oh, really?"
"Let's just say... this will be a difficult round to bet on."
"Oh, man..."
She flicked her fingers under his chin, and headed home.
The next night, she gathered her props. "Alright. I want these two..." She considered. "I want a third, but I can't decide."
Tulani grinned. "I have a new present." She held up the box.
Elunara grinned. "Oh... I like this one. Wait, how do those strings go?"
"Let me show you."
Grogek leaned against the tree, reading a book. Some of those on the hill muttered in annoyance at the lack of show.
"Give her time; you know how much Elunara likes to show off." Gerald snorted.
Chrissy sighed. "And you said she told me to show up, specifically?"
"Specifically."
Elunara slipped through the trees, and met Grogek in the center. "Sorry, I'm late. Tulani had to show me how to use this one, and we got involved and you know how THAT goes."
To anyone else, he looked annoyed. However, they knew it was just part of her little act. "Well, that's fine. Tulani comes first, I suppose."
"Oh, don't be like that. Besides, you'll like this one."
"Is that why you're wearing a cloak?"
"Of course. Tulani has been like a crazed engineer, rigging these gorgeous wisps of nothing." She tugged the cloak off and tossed it to the ground. She heard the soft gasps. "Like it?" She gave a little twirl. "It's her latest design.
Grogek licked his lips. "I think she's out done herself... again."
"You know, it's a shame she's too shy to tell people about these. I think they're fabulous. I got a few more to try." She stood on one leg, lifting the other to the sky. "See? Crotchless."
"Ok, now you're just showing off."
Chrissy leaned over to Gerald. "I want that."
"You and me both." He muttered.
"You know me, I can't help myself." She put her leg down. "I figure we give them a test run. She wants to know how durable, comfortable, and otherwise fuckable they are."
He licked his lips. "Remind me to... Thank her at the next opportunity." He reached out and grabbed Elunara's hips. "Well, I agree to the fuckable part."
"Oh, we haven't even gotten started, Sugarbear." She shoved him back against the tree. She slid down on his dick. "Mm, I like the crotchless part."
He ran his hands over the fabric around her breasts. "Good fabric choice."
"I'll say. Wow, that gives some fascinating sensations. Why haven't I played with this material before?" Arching her back, she began to rock her hips.
He growled. "The bottoms are..." He dug his fingers into her breasts. "Dear Gods, Tulani, what have you done this time?"
"I don't know, but I damned well like it." She shifted her ass.
He grabbed her hip. "Shit. Seriously, that fabric is almost too intense. What did she make this evil thing out of?"
"I want twelve more, I swear to Elune." She bucked her hips up and down, as he continued to tease her breast with the fabric, the fingers of his other hand dug into her hip. He shifted his hand and grabbed both sides of her hips, slamming her up and down on him. With a gasp, she clamped down around him, and he jammed her against his crotch as he exploded inside.
She collapsed on him, wrapping her arms around his waist, as her head lay on his chest.
"You say you brought more of these infernal things?" He shivered. "Hell, it's doing weird things wherever it touches my skin."
"Just a few." She laughed. "And I'm the one wearing these damned things."
"Well, I had a good run in life, might as well die happy."
With a laugh, she climbed off of him and went back to the discarded cloak. She bent over and shuffled through, rearranging things.
"Gods, that's a hell of a view." Grogek licked his lips.
"Well, now I want to try this one." She tugged at the top she was wearing, and let her breasts drop down, as she tugged it over her head. She folded it neatly and returned it to the little box. Next, she wiggled out of the panties, before putting them away. Still bent over, she tugged on the next panty. "Red's not really my color, but I said I'd give it a go." Once the lacy bit was adjusted, she straightened up and fastened the lacy little top.
She gave another twirl. "What do you think?"
"Nah, I liked it better on Tulani."
She looked down. "Yeah, well, she didn't design it with me in mind, so it fits a little weird. I just wanted to see if I liked the design so she could fit it to me." She wiggled her butt. "Nah?"
"Nah. She's designed better for you."
"You're right." She wiggled and tugged at it. "The things she personally designs, work best for the people they're designed for. Oh, you should have seen the little thingy she made for Zelinnia." Elunara giggled. "Renwa freaking HUGGED Tulani. It was adorable."
Grogek grinned and stood up. "I hear he also ordered a mess of them."
