188. Red Flag. *

Inside our bed, I was massaging his forehead my head back to the wall.

" Talk to me.." - I said.

He took a deep breath and felt him fully relaxed on my chest.

" It's nothing..just need to concentrate on keeping them safe.." - he started tilting his head up. " They all so fired up, like we hunting boar. You must promise me to avoid the beast themselves and stay safe..no heroics. "

" None my handsome love, besides .. I already agreed. " - I said putting my hands up promising him. " Just glad, I wasn't left behind. "

Let's be honest, he could've easily go by himself and most likely succeed but the people he loves and trained for months now would feel .. dead weight.

What satisfaction they must feel now that they were given the chance to prove themselves and against a divine beast of all things?..

I felt an inkling of that myself but, if I promise him now and broke that promise and endanger myself needlessly..he will most likely leave me behind in future battles.

Need to prove myself, like everyone else.

" I wish we could take her.." - he said trailing off.

Didn't had to ask whom he was talking about.

" She was a good girl and didn't ask to come. " - I lied remembering my promise to her. " Don't worry about her..or anyone. Let's decide on where to head off instead. "

" Alexander is right...even without information on them Hori and ..that other guy..is the closest. We don't have the luxury of travelling far." - he said.

No we did not.

" I will visit Olaf tomorrow, talking about some of those drawings you gave him. Are the Revel brothers coming? " - I asked since they were absent from the meeting.

" No..they will be responsible for safety and further training of Dharma lot until we return..they have deep knowledge and I'm sure the soliders will appreciate it. " - he explained turning around.

I was hoping they stay, with so many gone the village needs someone with actual combat experience.

I got distracted when my husband licked my stomach slowly making his way down..unfortunately it was my time of the month.

" Oh...really? Today? " - he was staring at it.

" Yes..it is what it is.." - I said patting his head.

He climbed beside me and I made my way towards his pant.

" We can always do it anyway...or do other things. " - I said feeling it out through his pants..not very excited at all.

" I don't feel like it now.. " - he said shaking his head a little.

" You know what I mean..Ouch!..God woman! Be careful.."

I pitched him and pulled my hands out of his pants little annoyed. " .. You're so annoying, make me feel like, I'm dirty or something.."

" Mnn.."

I grabbed his hair pulling him closer. " What was that? Did you just agree? "

He looked sideways, not even struggling against my grip.

" My love are you sure you're angry at me and not just the.. Aahh... Lylly, damn it." - he yanked his hair away leaving behind some in my grip.

" How dare you? Like I'm turning into some sort monster!? " - I asked waving his left over hair in his face.

" Here we go..." - he layed down and prepared.

We had long night..and no workouts whatsoever.

——

The next morning we were still fighting about what he said

' Was his god given right to choose. ' and mine ' We never having sex again. ' attitude.

At breakfast Anna kept looking at our silent stand off not exactly sure what's happening but soon the rest of the family joined in and distracted her.

" Morning family! " - my very happy mother waltzed with Carlos and Miranda walking behind her.

She kissed us each and went to make breakfast as a sleepy Cintia and Nifa walked out of there room.

" Morning all, ahh breakfast is coming. " - Nifa went and made sure she gets the first plate.

Cintia sat next to Anna and poured some tea. " Zephyr, I was hoping we can train some today. "

Zephyr took his narrowed eyes off me a little surprised, I was relived because my eyes hurt and didn't wanna lose the staring contest.

" You training? .. " - he looked unconvinced.

She stood his stare and explained.

" Not physically, I wanted to train my illusions and the area it can affect. " - she said.

" Oh..alright then. I'm in..we're training anyway. " - he shrugged and looked at Anna and newly arrived Ciren.

I was a little confused. " Dagger training honey? " - I asked her directly.

" Hmm..I don't want to be left behind anymore, besides, I can easily be a warrior poet of sorts. " - she said nodding in synchrony with Anna and my husband.

" I'll join you..want to test my ability as well. " - said Carlos thinking about it a little. " I know my limits with it but, it won't hurt. "

Demelza came out with Arnold in her arms probably smelling the food.

" Morning all, whoopsie daisy. " - she put Arnold on the table who made a beeline towards fruit plate in the middle. " .. Let's get breakfast in and move towards Olaf ? "

" Absolutely..we just need to get Eli..

" Morning my wonderful family! "

She walked in with a shy Lucian following behind her...I guess everyone had a great night, but me.

Mother made enough eggs and sausage to feed an army, and with the Emils trickled in with granny it was close enough.

Somehow..I honestly don't remember ended up being cuddled by him despite our fight.

" So go choose an arrow head with Olaf and go get me the Revel brothers or at least one. Their house is close. " - he asked nicely.

" .. Just a hop and skip, my Lord..anything else? "

He smiled and followed it up with a long kiss making me squirm a little.

" Everything else...soon. " - he said with an apologetic look.

I was still thinking it's a stupid reason not to do it ..right now! But he had his weird things and so did I.. Hehehe.

Anyway..

" Fine..ladies get dressed and we leave. " - I said looking at my sisters.

" Roger that. " - said Demelza walking away.

" I'm already dressed but, I cound use a new dress. " - Eli went with her.

I was busy enjoying his wondering hands and allowed myself to be teased.

Even after all this time, his touch still sent me into a frenzy of simply wanting more and more of it.

We got pretty lost in front of the family but they were so used to it no one even raised an eyebrow.

" Enough already..we only be gone for an hour or two. " - said my sister after her patients ran out.

I was pulled off of him and reluctantly pushed outside overhearing Zephyr stop Anna taking my place in his lap.

" No..no..not right now princess, go and get dressed with Ciren and be back in 5 minutes. "

Well at least we kept each other interested and that's a fact.
