Fantasy BDSM?

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika smiled and she wrapped the blanket around her tightly and snuggled into it. She was feeling cold.

Issak came in. "Heard you wanted company," he said, not bringing up what he had just learned.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika nodded and smiled softly. "Come, sit down," she said quietly. "I appreciate it."

 

[bindingeagle]

Issak sat and pulled out his pipe. "Just tobacco this time," he said. "Want some?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika shook her head. "No, thank you," she said again in that quiet voice. She pulled the blanket around her tighter.

Jep handed her her clothes. "You'll be warmer," he said, and fueled the fire more.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika smiled and quietly dressed before returning to her spot on her bedroll.

Jep and Issak climbed under the blankets with her for comfort and heat. Eventually, Jep said, "You two sleep, Brom and I will keep watch," and set off out of the cave.

"I'm not sure if I can sleep," Al'ika admitted softly, snuggling close to Issak. She rested her head on his chest. She looked up at him. "Is that normal?" she asked softly.

 

[bindingeagle]

Issak held her close. "I won't sleep until you do," he said. "I promise you're safe. Just like when we were kids and we had to hide in a barn overnight from goblins."

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika gave a small smile. "You were the baby then," she cracked shyly.

 

[bindingeagle]

"So I owe you, we're even now," Issak said in mock anger. "Now go to sleep before I have to sing that song you hate."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Please don't," Al'ika groaned. She closed her eyes. "You won't be happy with me."

"Then go to sleep," he said, stroking her hair to help her fall asleep.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika fell asleep slowly but surely, Issak's hand in her hair soothing her troubled mind.

 

[bindingeagle]

Issak was soon asleep himself, dozing in his old friend's arms.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika woke up very early the next morning and laid there in Issak's arms, relaxed.

 

[bindingeagle]

Issak awoke and found Al'ika still with him. "Did yo rest well?" he asked. "No goblins about?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika smiled. "No goblins," she assured him. "And I feel like I slept well. Still a little. . . shaky, but I suppose that's natural."

 

[bindingeagle]

"After all that, yes," said Issak. "Eat, you'll feel better," he said getting out some rations.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika nibbled on the rations and snuggled against him. "Issak. . . Do you think I disappointed Jep yesterday?" she asked softly.

 

[bindingeagle]

"I think he understands what happened." Issak said. "And now, like me, he just wants to help."

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika shrugged. "I guess," she said quietly. She stripped off her shirt and began rubbing the earth salve into her skin once more, trying not to let Issak see.

 

[bindingeagle]

Issak had had enough of her stubbornness and took the salve from her. "You can't reach everywhere," he said, rubbing it in. "Everyone needs help some time," he said, evaluating the injuries. "It's not bad for coming from Ashglow's," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Been putting the salve on everyday, and Father Hallowbrook looked at them," Al'ika said quietly. She sighed. "Sorry I'm stubborn," she added. "You know me."
