"You know, when I need the house, you'll need to find something to do, other than locking yourself in your room." Elunara worked on her boards.
"I guess." Susan sighed. "I was never more than just a glorified housewife. It worked for us."
"I believe there's more to life than that." Elunara shrugged. "Don't worry, Sweetie, I'll help you."
Susan tapped her pencil on her paper. "As you tend to do." She sighed.
"What are you working on over there?"
"I'm trying to write a letter back home... trying to decide... I guess... the rest of my life."
"You'll figure it out." Elunara stood up. "I need to deliver these measurements to my suppliers." She kissed Susan on her temple. "Watch Lulu for me, okay?"
Susan blushed. "Yes, of course."
Elunara waved and walked out.
Susan kept putting her pencil to paper, but nothing came to her. Hearing a noise, she headed upstairs. While she calmed Lulu back to sleep, she heard the door open. After putting the sleeping child back in her bed, she stuck her head out of the room, and was faced with Grogek's bare chest.
"Oh... Hello." She blushed.
"Hello, Angel." He grinned. "I needed a new shirt."
"Ah." She followed him into his room. She bit her lip as she watched him move.
He glanced back at her and grinned again. "Want something?"
"Maybe?" She whispered.
Turning around, he walked back to her. He brushed his fingers across her cheek. "What would that be?" He whispered.
"I don't even know any more."
He pressed his mouth to hers, whisper soft. Her hands came up around his neck, and he scooped her up. Laying her on the bed, he tugged the rest of his gear off, while she watched. After he climbed into the bed, he tugged her dress off, and tossed it to the floor. "You're so tiny and beautiful." He whispered.
"I... I don't know about that." Her blush darkened.
"Then I will show you."
Kissing her again, he ran his hands across her body. Gently, he pressed her legs open and wrapped them up around his sides. Careful and slow, he pressed himself into her soft, slick folds. He groaned as she took him in bit by bit. As he continued to hold himself above her, careful to not crush her beneath him, he began to move his hips, dragging himself out, and slowly pushing back in.
Susan gasped and writhed beneath him. It was easier this time, expecting the sheer size of him, but still, she was unused to being stretched out as such. She desperately wished to know what he was whispering to her. "Ah, Grogek... please..." She whimpered. She dragged at his neck.
He buried his face into her shoulder, and enjoyed the feeling of her fingernails digging into the flesh of his back and shoulders. "Soft little angel, come for me." He whispered into her ear.
The breath on her neck made her shiver, and then she was shuddering all over, desperately clinging to him. The clamp of her around him, made him explode into her tight space. With a groan, he dislodged himself from her. He rubbed his nose on her neck and, shifting to the side, cuddled her to him.
Clinging to him, she panted. "What is wrong with me?" She whimpered.
"Why do you ask that?"
"I... Well, I feel faithless to my lost husband, I'm having sex with a married man, and now I want to move in permanently." She wiped her hair out of her face.
"I hope you do..." He nuzzled against her. "Please stay with me."
"Your family is so strange, and yet so open and loving. It's... completely weird."
"The best kind of weird." Grogek grinned. "If you're going to live with us, you should read Elunara's books. Since you're rather delicate, I would recommend starting at the Draenor books. Her early ones are dark and upsetting."
They heard a door close. Susan tried to scramble out of the bed, but Grogek just held on to her.
Elunara jogged upstairs to check on Lulu, but caught the scene in the bedroom. She tucked in. "I'm back."
Susan curled up, and tried to make herself small.
"Why are you embarrassed?" Elunara blinked.
"I think she's still stuck on the "married" bit."
Elunara rolled her eyes. "Should we marry you two off, just so she'll get over it?"
Grogek grinned. "We'll reserve that one for another time."
"Sweetie, what's wrong with your hip?" Elunara bent down and ran her hand over Susan's hip. "I didn't see that the other day."
Grogek sat up on his elbow and frowned.
Susan looked down. "Oh, that. It's something I've had for years. It comes and it goes. It gets really bad during high pollen seasons."
"So it's an allergy?"
"Sort of?"
"Easy enough." Elunara put both of her hands on Susan's hip and concentrated her energy. Swiftly, she tracked the affliction to various points throughout Susan's body. She worked and worked, until she could find no more of it. "There we go, all cleared up."
Susan marveled at her hip. "It's... gone." She stared at Elunara. "You must really be a goddess. No healer could fix that... it's just something I had to live with."
"So was Lydia's legs, so was Bryan's mouth, so was a few other things I've managed to fix. It is what it is." Elunara shrugged. "Listen, Sweetie, I'd rather you understand that my husband has feelings for you, and I'm ok with that. I encourage that. There are times when I feel like I just can't give him enough attention. I would like for you to fill in those gaps for me. Tulani fills in her times with Zelinnia, Jordan... Jordan fills in his time by getting wrapped up in the weirdest situations." Elunara giggled.
"I'm not asking you to replace me; I'm certainly not asking you to compete with me. I'm asking you to accept a place in this family, at Grogek's side. We can figure out how you fit in as we go. I don't mind you sharing our bed. I don't mind tossing a bed in here just for you, and if you wish to have your own room, that's fine too. Just consider it." She brushed Susan's hair back. "Please?"
Susan cuddled up against Grogek and sighed. "I..." She closed her eyes. "I was trying to figure out how to write home and tell them I wanted my stuff."
Elunara kissed Susan's forehead. "We'll get your stuff."
Grogek laughed. "Elunara, my love, you have such a way... You said everything I wanted to say, but better. Perhaps..." He brushed his mouth over the top of Susan's head. "Perhaps I can go with Susan and get her stuff back. I deserve a vacation at this point."
Elunara tapped a finger to her chin. "That would work. Let me figure out the logistics and set everything up."
"I draw the line at calling him "Sugarbear"." Susan muttered.
"You better not use Sugarbear." Elunara put her fists on her hips. "That's what I call him. YOU find something different."
Grogek laughed. "Elunara is very picky about nicknames. She is my Little She Wolf, and I am her Sugarbear."
