Putting a Plan In Motion.



It had been a busy day, one filled with hard work, laughter, family and friends. She felt a contentment and a pride at how her group had worked together to get the honey put up. In her mind, when people worked together, all things were possible.


In the afternoon, she had approached Rook, and told him of her plan. The old oralu chuckled at the blush that had risen to her cheeks, but agreed to help her. She knew exactly where she wanted to go, for it was a special place to her, one where she had been known to go and sit and think. It was a small valley, a cove actually, and the stream that provided them water ran through it. But most importantly, it was secluded, private. They had made a small camp, laid a fire, spread furs and left botas of water. Standing back, she looked at it, satisfied and turned to thank him. He had chuckled and told her to use her time here wisely. Wisely? Well, that was not exactly how she would have phrased what she had in mind.


Ever since the night he had returned and seen her standing there holding his son in her arms, it was as if he had changed, or perhaps she had changed. Whatever had happened, she cannot remember being happier that she is right now. She knows that she is loved, but she also knows that she is appreciated. One night at dinner, he had even allowed that the roasted tabuk she had made was every bit as good as his mothers'. That was high praise indeed!


For the past few moons she had seen the longing in his eyes when he looked at her, and there was not a single moment when she was near him, that he did not reach to touch her. To heft a swollen breast, to run his hand along her hip over her backside. There had been times that they had tried to fulfill his lust.....skies, not only his but hers, but the things they did were not quite as satisfying as being able to have each other fully. She wondered if he knew that she wanted him just as badly as he did her.


But it was more than lust. She was not naive, she knew that he used slaves, and frequently, but for some reason they just did not seem to sate that hunger he seemed to still have.


Well, this night, that hunger would be satisfied for both of them, if all went well. She had full intentions of seducing a handsome, strong, singer.
