Lust for Love
Sir Oisin feeds hay from a side satchel to Ronnin then walks him to the river. “We need to make haste,” he says to the large hackney. He attaches Ronnin’s saddle and side bags. When he’s done, he says goodbye to the others. Sir Oliver is going back with the carnival wagon to the Sword Maker’s home. The Sword Master had said he didn’t see any sense going to the giants and dwarves if the individuals he needs to speak with are coming this way. As Sir Oisin leaps lightly onto Ronnin’s back, Endellion grabs onto Ronnin’s reins.
“Wait,” she says.
He watches as she hugs Madame Swan, Crimthann, Lara, and a conflicted looking Sword Master. She nods to the others and leaps onto her mare.
“I don’t know if this a good idea,” he tells her honestly.
She smiles wanly. A contradiction to the character she’s displayed since he first met her.
A long time passes and he suggests they pull over by a stream. He leaves Ronnin to wander and forage and notices Endellion’s mare stays near Ronnin.
“I need to bathe,” Endellion says and he’s taken aback by the sudden sound of her voice.
“Don’t be too long,” he says staring up at the late afternoon sky.
He looks away as she strips and waits until he hears her splashing the water before turning in her direction. Normally, he would take this as a “come hither” moment. But now that he knows Endellion is a quarter moon ear as the Proper’s call his kind, and the one who some of the soldiers bragged about satiating their desires with. And now that he understands why everyone of those soldiers, except one, was brutally murdered. Some were found with their penis in their mouths; others had their rectums sliced open. It gave him a clear idea what they did to her.
“Do you want to discuss what’s next,” he asks.
She sits up in the stream so water flows down her hair and over her now bare breasts. “Don’t you find me attractive?”
“After seeing you with that simple soldier, I don’t want to give you the wrong impression,” he says with a shrug. “Your also married to the Sword Master, and I don’t do affairs.”
“Heard what I did to those scum soldiers, have you?” she asks and he hears a deadly tone mixed with a now dark expression.
“I have a good idea,” he replies.
She stands up so the water rolls down her entire body. “I did this with the Sword Master. Do you know what he did?”
“No,” he says and gulps. She was attractive fully clothed but now he can feel his loins telling him to take his own clothes off.
She stares at his groin and smiles. “So, you can’t help yourself,” she says, and her sarcastic tone is fully returned. “The Sword Master never touched me so he won’t mind if you try. He and I are more like sister and brother.”
“I’d like to keep all my parts,” he says with his own sarcastic tone.
She steps closer. “Other than I might kill you, what else is stopping you?”
“I can’t impregnate a Proper,” he says and gulps.
“But you can impregnate me?”
“Probably.”
“But I’m a Fif. Unworthy.”
He can’t tell if her voice is mocking him or full of pain.
She steps closer.
