Rhazien the Orc: Part Three (special preview)
🕑 Added 2021-11-20 22:01:00 +0000 UTCOnce the rain stopped, you were able to move ahead. In a way, the heavy rains actually made it easier for you to traverse deeper into the mountains. It helped clear out paths so they were easy to see. There had also been a rockslide which, in a shocking turn, revealed an opening to a cave that, once explored, turned out to be a sheltered path to the other side of the mountain.
“It could still be dangerous. Rhazien and I will take the lead through the passage just in case. We’ll be sure to put the women and children at the back with a couple of guards just in case.”
Rhazien snorted.
You sighed and prepared for a fight. “Oh? Is there something funny about that idea? Or do you think you can handle the head of the line all on your own?”
Rhazien’s tongue darted out between his lips as his smirk grew. “Nothing of the like, I just find it funny you think our women need any guards to protect them.” He licked along his tusk, a move that had come to be an erotic gesture in your eyes.
You clicked your tongue and turned towards the cave. “I would feel better with two guards at the rear. Does that make it better? We don’t need all our best fighters at the start.”
Thazien plopped his hand on the very top of your head. “If you want to hold my hand, princess, just say so.”
Shoving his hand off you grumbled under your breath. “You and I will take the lead through the passage. Got that?”
“Whatever the princess wants.” Rhazien bowed at the waist, flourishing his arm out as an extra mocking gesture. You were used to it, so you let it go. Since the morning of the rainstorm, you had been afraid to start any sort of argument or fight with Rhazien. That was your foreplay, and you feared getting lost in your own lust when things were crucial in the journey. It was bad enough you allowed him to breed you. You wouldn’t make that mistake again.
Going back to your tent, you were aware that Rhazien was following close behind you. You let him, just wondering what the hell he was doing. In your tent you took out your map, marking it to identify where the passageway had opened. “What do you want?” You scoffed at Rhazien, standing at the entrance.
Rhazien ducked down and walked inside. “Your silence bothers me.”
You put away your pin and corked the ink bottle. “What silence? I’ve been talking to you this entire time.”
“No,” he chuckled. “I know what your mouth is capable of, princess. You have basically been mute these last few days. And if I am remembering my days correctly, it started when-”
You cut your eyes at him which made him laugh even more. “So I am right. You’re still lingering on that morning.”
“It’s dangerous, Rhazien.” You pushed your hair away from your face. You’d kept in a braid all this time, but after having washed it with the rain, you’d left it down until it was completely dry. “We can’t play that game recklessly. Anytime we get heated, we get extremely heated.”
His smirk widened. “And you don’t like that?”
You glared his way, refusing to speak another word.
“I know you do.” Rhazien approached you, coming so close as if to touch you. His hands rested at his sides, not making a move towards you, so you turned away back to your map. Rhazien stood close to your back. His warmth came through your clothes, and his shadow was cast upon the table. “I know you better than you want to admit.” Rhazien’s arms came down on either side of you and grasped the table. His lips were close to your ear, and his breath tickled down your skin.
You chewed on your lip as you tried to ignore how close he was. It didn’t help that you were cold and his body felt like a magnificent campfire. “Please, illuminate me with what you know.”
