Desert Roses

[Claude Faustus]

"No...It's my fault I shouldn't have lost my temper." Eladrian relaxed feeling Ialu's hands on his shoulders. "I never expected to encounter another of kind down here, that's all, He confuses me."


Outside the tent, Amal stalked about, he had found the bottle of wine and was pouring a small amount of the wine into a bowl of water.

Ialu nodded sympathetically, "I can imagine. But you know, he's just worried for you... I didn't know that, um... Well, that losing your purity would make you stronger. I thought it would bind you to Maya fully and give you a higher status... I will pray to the gods that Maya decides to mate soon." He knelt behind Eladrian, "But until then, you know I'll always be here. I'm not leaving your side..." His hands worked down Eladrian's back, fingers probing into the tense muscles beneath El's shoulder blades. He leaned in, whispering into Ben's ear, his breath warm, "I was honored though... I have never known someone to care about me so much to stand up to someone else..."  

[Claude Faustus]

Eladrian shuddered, Ialu's fingers where probing into a very sensitive place on his back, he bit his lower lip. Reluctant to pull away or stop him, his face flushed with warmth. "Ialu....I-I....really didn't.....Li-like it when he was that close to you...." He shivered, his hand clenching and unclenching. "A.....a little lower then that please...." he said, not wanting to embarrass Ialu by letting him know what being touched on his back place felt like.

Amal slowly walked up to Maya with the bowlful of sweet smelling water. "This is for you young lady, a drink from the homeland, I'm sure that you'll like it."
The mudd covered mare sniffed the water in the bowl then started lapping at it.

Ialu just barely nuzzled into Eladrian's neck, not wanting to be too overt lest the elf pull away. His hands worked slowly lower at an almost teasing rate. He watched the way El reacted, wanting so badly to be the first in his arms. Leaning close to Eladrian's ear again, whispering, "I could tell... I'm embarrassed to admit it, but seeing you like that-... I was so aroused... I wish you could have taken me from him and made me your own." He leaned in, pressing a soft kiss right in between Eladrian's shoulder blades.

Unaware of the plot, Sadiki peacefully bent his head a few yards away, drinking at the fresh spring. Such fresh, sweet water was hard to come by. He knew they would be leaving again in the morning, so he wanted to drink as much as he could for the road.  

[Claude Faustus]

Eladrian let out a soft gasp at the kiss, his lightly clad body was flushed at the words, "R-really?" he asked, sure that his mind was playing tricks on him. "Mmmm...." He moaned softly, letting his eyes drift closed.

Amal dropped the empty bowl, there where no outwards effects other then a twitching of her lion-like tail.
Maya snorted, the taste had been sweet like honey and yet it was warm going down her throat. The warmth of the wine had was spreading from her inside out. Causing a faint tingling of her skin, it tickled. Nickering her thanks, she picked up her hooves and pranced towards the pool to get a drink of clear water. A branch brushed her coat causing her to start slightly as the sensitive feeling. The silver mare twitched her ears then truned away.
Seeing Sadiki at the pool also, Maya slowed and whinnied to him, inquiringly.  

[lack_luster_soul]

Ialu was taking it slow, but he could already tell that Eladrian was his. His hands reached the small of Eladrian's back, rubbing the sensitive skin there until he could feel the elf squirm, then just lightly brushing his fingers over it. He whispered, "I wouldn't lie to you..." He pulled Eladrian's hair over his shoulder, leaving his neck bare. Ialu made sure his fingers brushed over the skin as he did so before leaning in to kiss El's tender neck. He said softly, "You know, that first night, when we escaped... I thought I was dreaming... Seeing you so strong, in charge like that-... Eladrian, you've been a dream come true."

Sadiki looked up at Maya, somewhat skeptical. She had playfully refused him before. He nickered, pawing at the soft mud before him in welcome. He watched her closely, wondering why she was covered in mud. The sun had set, after all, it wasn't like she needed it to keep cool.  

[Claude Faustus]

He sighed, then reached back and pulled both of Ialu's hands, pulling the youth's body right pressed up close to his bare back, the elf shivered at the erotic feeling, El felt secure enough with Ialu to do this, this close contact. with his 'sacred' place. "I never would have thought that I'd find someone liek you Ialu." He murmured.

Maya walked closer beside him then dipped her head to take a little drink, as she pulled back up her shoulder brushed against his, that tingling feeling before intensified into a shivering feeling when she brushed up against the Sadiki. And it felt good....very good.
Amal watched as the mare brushed against the stallion again, making soft noises of pleasure.  

[lack_luster_soul]

Ialu felt a stirring inside of him the moment he was pressed close against Eladrian. He let out a barely audible moan, his own seduction working on himself. Laying his head on Eladrian's shoulder, he whispered, "I think I've been falling in love with you since the moment I laid eyes on you... You're so beautiful, so brave, so strong and magical..." He kissed El's jaw, whispering, "I can't believe you even like me... No one has ever made me feel like this, like I'm valued." He swallowed hard, holding El tight.

Sadiki felt Maya brushing against him and lifted his head, slightly confused. She smelled wonderful, all of the sudden. Warm and slightly musky, having somehow gone into heat since he saw her earlier. He whinnied lightly, his lips moving over her neck as he took in the smell. He jumped back, neighing. That mud covering her, he wanted it off. He pranced behind her, nipping at her flank and ushering her into the water. He splashed in beside her, a bundle of energy in his attempt to show off for her.  

[Claude Faustus]

El closed his eyes, trying to will away the tears that threatened to come at Ialu's words. They drew such a deep feeling of longing,completion of hunger and satisfaction all at the same time. His lips parted to speak but he found that he could not, what can he say to that?
He let of Ialu and turned around in his arms to look into his eyes. "Ialu, I will always be here for you, I never thought that I'd feel this way for another person again. but you....you make me feel.....like I'm worth being loved. I love you my darling Ialu."

Maya nickered, following her stallion into the water, occasionally brushing her muddy coat against him, shivering. the splashing of the water was washing off the mud from her coat. soon her coat was clean, wet, but clean.
Maya nuzzled Sadiki, prancing in the shallow water, sending up droplets of light caught by the moon,  

[lack_luster_soul]

Ialu felt Eladrian turn in his arms and his heart skipped a few beats. He gazed into the elf's bright green eyes, his heart now hammering. Ialu felt his cheeks flush and a lump form in his throat. Those words were out, suddenly, and the halfling brought his hands up, gently cradling the back of El's head, and stroking down his cheeks. Ialu couldn't see any dishonesty in Eladrian's eyes, and didn't expect to. He swallowed hard, whispering, his voice slightly choked, "I love you too, Eladrian... I love you so much..."

Sadiki was nearly ready to mount her. He could smell she was ready, and her actions told him how much she wanted it. This was his mate. The primal urges rose inside him and he slowed, nuzzling her soft coat, whinnying as they strolled out of the water again. He pranced around her slowly before moving behind her and mounting.  

[Claude Faustus]

Eladrian leans forwards, taking those words and devouring them with a kiss. as he was kissing his beloved, The elf felt a sudden jolt of pleasure and pain as if....He suddenly pulled away from the kiss his green eye wide and his back arching. "Ah-ahhh" he gasped, his hand clenching at nothing he heard a whinny of horses, of squealing.
It suddenly dawned on him. "M-Maya?" he pulled away from Ialu's arms hurrying out of the tent in time to see.....

His front hooves where on her silver speckled back, pumping. The stallion was snorting, The mare squealing, his mare. Eladrian stared in amazement at the mating horses. His body trembling, he sad nothing even when Ialu joined him. The elf panted, finding the scene strangely erotic and fitting somehow. However he turned away the more he watched the deeper the feeling of arousal grew.  

[lack_luster_soul]

Ialu was kissing Eladrian, and kissing him, and kissing him, and this was it. He could die now. Life was perfect in an instant.

Then all the sudden, Ialu was kissing nothing. Eladrian was out of his hands and Ialu opened his eyes to an empty tent. He jumped up, grabbing the towel to wrap around his waist and skidding to a halt beside Eladrian. Well. There it was. He watched in a kind of surreal awe, his eyes widening. He glanced to Eladrian, trying to read his expression. His hand took the elf's, as he whispered, "I guess things have a way of working themselves out..."

Sadiki let out a high-pitched whinny as he met his peak, panting and snorting for a moment as he made sure he was done. He slid out of Maya and fell back to his hooves, nuzzling her soft flank as he stepped along beside her and affectionately nuzzled her neck.  

[Claude Faustus]

Maya was panting, she nuzzled Sadiki back, her tail flicking this way and that.

Eladrian mumbled under his breath. "She was supposed to be bred to another." but when he looked up and saw how happy Maya appeared to me he let a smile come across his face. "I...I suppose it's alright...I mean there's no harm done after all."

"That's good." Amal said from his place by the fire side. "I was aware of them and wondering when it was going to happen. Now...." The older man looked inquiringly at Ialu. "....about the other thing we spoke about?" He asked nervously.
Eladrian immediately felt suspicious. what is going on here?  

[lack_luster_soul]

Sadiki pressed his side flushed to Maya's, happily nickering beside his mate, a mare that he was already protectively guarding, dark brown eyes sweeping the area around them for any other stallions eying his mare. Satisfied, he bent his head to drink from the spring.

Ialu sincerely hoped Eladrian wasn't too disappointed. He wanted Maya to have good breeding, but Ialu knew some things were unavoidable. And apparently, so did Eladrian. He squeezed the elf's hand when Amal spoke up from his spot by the fire. Ialu's eyes widened. He stared at Amal, trying to burn him with his eyes, if it was at all possible. He quickly answered, "Oh, you were right..." He smiled to Eladrian, "Amal mentioned how tense you were, talking about how you needed a good back rub." He glanced back to Amal, "You were right, he really enjoyed it." He began gently tugging Eladrian towards the tent, hoping Amal would take the hint.  

[Claude Faustus]

At the mention of the backrub Amal's eyes widened and he winced. bad idea very bad.
Eldarian yanked his hand out of Ialu's " 'Back rub' ?...... 'Backrub'? he told you that I should have a......'backrub' ? Do you know that that means Ialu?" then he answered himsefl , his anger growing ."It's the same as foreplay for elves, leading up to sex."
Amal slapped himsefl in the face. He should have warned Ialu, he stood up. "It's nothing Eladrian, I thought that-"
"-That it would lead to sex didn't you?" El turned and accused Amal. "And what happened with Maya? Did you some how cause that as well?"
"No! That wasn't my fault, that was nature, pure Nature!" the bespectacled man was gretful that he had the sense to hide the bottle of ghetta-wine in his pack.
"I don't believe you sir...." El said. "You were also trying to seduce me in the pool earlier, don't' tell me that your denying that."
Amal rubbed his neck in a nervous gesture. "No....well, that was....well....you are a very attractive young man and it's been much too long since I've had the pleasure of meeting another of my own kind. can you blame me for a little piece of you?" he said quickly, taking the full blame on himsefl rather then having Ialu be a part of it. He just hopped that Ialu would understand this time and say silent.
The once the knight of Lyria, glanced up only to see Eladrian's fist driving into his field of vision. oh crap.

Crack!
