Chapter 26 - Bel

We've been marching for a month straight now and it's the most bored that I've been in centuries, there is very little to do while marching. Even though we've been making good time the weather is starting to turn against us now as over the past few days there's been plenty of rain making the path more difficult for us. So long as it doesn't get any worse we should reach the border in just under another month. Gods I'd give anything just to fly there on Kor.

Not even talking to, or at, Kor is taking the edge of my boredom anymore. In fact the only highlight of the past month was a few weeks ago when we'd got a letter from Emmy and Lilas. We'd been able to send the letter we wrote to them together with a report for the Council that contained our planned route so at the next town we stopped near a reply was waiting for us.

I've kept the letter tucked close to my heart and in really bored moments, when it's not raining, I'll take it out and read it again. Usually aloud so that Kor can hear it as well. Emmy seems to be settling into her role as Queen now that she's selected her ladies-in-waiting, at the time we'd received the letter she'd spent a lot of time at court and had even started organising another ball. With this ball though she's hosting it in support of the army, attendees will be encouraged to give donations that will be turned over to the Council to help us with supplies.

When we'd read about it I'd been so proud of her. It seems gaining so many friends through her ladies-in-waiting has really helped her with her confidence and even hearing of her doing so well at court makes me happy. I can't wait to get back to Hadlau and see it for myself. Apparently she's already making plans for a feast in advance of return from war. Lilas writes that it makes her happy planning for our return even though it may be a few years before we're back.

The letter does include something worrying though that keeps planning on mine and Kor's minds, we're eager for the next letter that should put our worries at ease. According to Lilas, at the time of the letter, Emmy has been ill although they didn't know the cause. He had added at the end of the letter that she'd finally agreed to see the Healer as it hadn't stopped after a week straight so in the next letter we should have answers. Ideally we'll be told that it was nothing and that Emmy is perfectly fine. If not Kor may lose it and fly back to check on her, we'd never really dealt with illness before as the rest of our species very rarely get ill.

Ahead of me Asaroth is riding next to Kor discussing defences for when we get to the border. Now that we're so close they want to get their plans finalised before we get there although some small changes will still need to be made. Information from the border has informed us that Rhistel hasn't made his move yet although he has started sending more patrols along Nerkise's side of the border, no doubt waiting for our arrival.

I have no doubts that by now he's been informed of the army marching to the border so is keeping a look out for us finally getting to the border. We can hope that he doesn't have an accurate count of our numbers just yet so we still have a slight advantage of him not knowing how many more soldiers we have than him. Our spies have done what they can to estimate the enemy troops for us and so long as it's not a vast underestimate we have a much greater number of soldiers. Plus with Kor's experience and training we're in a good position.

"We still have a few rivers to cross none of them too deep so it should be easier than the last few. So long as we don't get a massive amount of rain." Asaroth comments as their conversation turns from defences to the march. He's right though and the last few crossings have been difficult, we'd lost a few soldiers and some supplies at each of the last few rivers as we tried to cross them.

"That's good news, hopefully the Gods will favour us with good weather. I can't wait to finally get there and stop this damn marching." I complain butting into their conversation. The last war that Kor and I had fought in started more suddenly than this one so we'd flown ahead of the rest of the army to aid in the fighting straight away. This time though nothing has truly started yet and it wouldn't be appropriate for the Kings to go off on their own when the army they're meant to be leading can't follow.

"Everyone knows that Bel." Kor retorts smirking at me reminding me that over the last week or so I've done plenty of complaining about the march. It's not my fault though, I'm starting to lose feeling in my arse from riding all day every day. It makes it very difficult to enjoy my night together to Kor, it doesn't matter to me that we're only in a tent and everyone around us can hear what we're doing. I won't let that put me off from enjoying sex, and plenty of it, with my mate.

"We only have a few hours of daylight left your Majesty. The scouts have reported a place for us to set up camp is not far ahead so we'll be stopping for the night soon." Asaroth informs me. The news makes me grin enjoying the idea of getting out of this saddle.

"Really? Well I think I'm going to go and take a look." Not giving them a chance to reply I kick my horse up into a canter racing off ahead of them. Distantly I'm aware of half of the guard that has been around me and Kor since we left Hadlau following after me, the remainder staying near Kor.

Just as Asaroth said tonight's camp ground isn't far ahead so it doesn't take me long to get there now that I've moved faster than the tedious walk of the march. Jumping down from my horse, the reins quickly being grabbed by one of the guards, I happily stretch out my body trying to ease the strain riding has caused. Laying down on the ground I wait for the others to arrive content to finally be still and just relax.

I must have drifted off to sleep while waiting for the rest of the army to catch up as when I next open my eyes I'm inside a tent. Sitting up I spot Kor at the table finishing off his dinner, he'd probably moved me once our tent had been set up and has just let me sleep. If he's having dinner though I've only been asleep a few hours getting just enough rest for a nice enjoyable night together with him.

"Enjoying your dinner my love?" I ask coming up behind him and leaning against his back. He lets out a slight grunt that after so many years together I know means he doesn't mind it; we'd both prefer to be having meals back at Hadlau as cooking on the road can be difficult.

"Could do with more." He says eventually and it's true. Not having as easy access to food as at home Kor has been eating less than he usually would, sometimes he'd go out hunting finding a deer or something else large to fill his stomach easing the hunger he's been feeling.

"I'm a bit hungry myself." I whisper in his ear, nibbling gently at the lobe as I run a hand down his chest stopping and cupping his cock through his trousers. He's growing hard already under my hand so that improves my chances of getting to suck his cock.

"You're always hungry for cock." Kor replies pushing his chair slightly away from the table so that there is just enough room for me to sink to my knees in front of him. Eager I reach for the ties of his trousers undoing them just enough to pull his almost completely hard cock out.

"To your benefit." I retort licking him from tip all the way to the base. He gives a low moan as I take the head into my mouth sucking lightly relishing the feeling of him in my mouth. A hand comes to the back of my head gently coaxing me to take more of him into my mouth stopping only when I reach the base of his cock.

"Just like that." Kor praises stroking his hand through my hair, "So good my love. Let me finish my meal now." His hand leaves my head as he continues eating, still easily able to reach the table despite having moved the chair back to accommodate me.

As always I'm strangely content to kneel there with his cock in my mouth as Kor continues eating above me. He pays little to no attention to me as he eats so much so that if it weren't for him still being hard against my tongue I'd think he had forgot I was there. Not that he ever does when we have done this before even when I've been kneeling for hours at a time.

I almost jump when a hand suddenly touches my head, it was as though everything around me had disappeared and all my focus had been reduced to Kor's cock. A gentle grip on my hair pulls me slowly off of Kor's cock despite my attempts to suck more back into my mouth I'm pulled off. Giving a small whine I try to lean forward back towards his cock but the grip on my hair tightens preventing me from moving.

"Kor, please." I beg hoping to be released. No such luck though as he slowly pulls me up, the grip on my hair keeping me moving up as he wants but he's careful not to pull too hard and hurt me.

"Bend over." He growls out once I'm standing. His eyes are dark with lust and I rush to obey, turning towards the table and bending over it my elbows resting on the table. Behind me Kor makes quick work of my trousers pulling them down just enough to have access to my arse, I'm past caring how sore I'll be riding in the morning. The same thing has happened most night when we haven't been too tired from the days ride.

Thick fingers make quick work opening me up until I have three of Kor's fingers inside of me. He must have stuck them in his mouth before he started as they're at least slightly slick, at first we'd had oil to work with but the last town we stopped at was just over a week ago. Since then all the oil we'd brought there has been used so we'll have to make do with spit. I'm past caring though as my cock is rock hard and already I'm past coherent words.

"G-gods Kor. Please… more." I whine pushing back slightly against him as well as I can in this position. I'm probably loud enough that the guards outside our tent can hear me but by now it's nothing to them what we get up to alone at night.

"Hold onto the table." I scramble to obey grasping the edges of the table as Kor removes his fingers instead positioning the head of his cock at my entrance. He spends what feels like forever teasing me with just the head ignoring my pleading for more. Then all at once he slams inside of me.

Immediately Kor sets an almost brutal pace his hands on my hips keeping me pinned to the table and it's only my hold on the edges that keeps me from being slid further up the table. It's almost as though he's simply using me for his own pleasure but every thrust is pushing me closer to the edge as Kor targets my prostate relentlessly. The pleasure is so overwhelming that I can't seem to form words anymore just mindless moans that beg for more in their place.

A deep growl turns into a purr as Kor shifts a hand up to my shoulder pinning me further to the table as his pace slows but the thrusts grow harder and more brutal. These harsher thrusts has my cock erupting from where it's trapped between my body and the table, the slight drag along the table with each thrust had been adding to my pleasure. I can't even care that I'm lying in my own mess as Kor keeps going through my orgasm, the feeling of his thrusts has my spent cock soon growing hard again.

"My good mate. Always so ready for me." Kor purrs out as he sliding the hand holding my shoulder down underneath me feeling my hard cock. Pleased with my quick recovery he gives me a few quick strokes pushing me close to the edge once again before returning his hand to my shoulder. All I can do in reply is release a few broken moans but that seems to be answer enough that I'm enjoying myself for him as his focus turns solely back to thrusting into me. After only a few more thrusts, targeted perfectly at my prostate, I'm coming again.

"Mine!" Kor roars out uncaring of who hears as he comes deep inside of me. Out of all of us Kor has always been the least concerned over who sees or hears us having sex, although he's possessive of us all he prefers it when people know we're his. Part of it I think comes from being a dragon as they are generally very open about sex, apparently it's quite common to see couples having sex in full view of anyone going past.

Pulling out of me Kor pulls me into his arms sitting back in his chair as we recover from our powerful orgasms. He strokes a hand through my hair gently as a deep purr is rumbling in his chest, a sure sign that he's content.

"That… was… amazing." I pant out my throat slightly sore from moaning. Turning my head into his chest I nuzzle myself closer half asleep already.

"Need to clean up." He reminds me but not making a move to clean up himself. He's right though, I can feel his come slowly leaking out me not to mention my own come drying on my stomach.

"Too tired." I complain light-heartedly, "You fucked me hard, my love. Trying to prove something?" Even being so tired I can't help but tease him.

"Felt like it." He shrugs finally standing up, lifting me into his arms. Walking the short distance to our bed he sets me down to go and fetch a bowl of water and a rag. We quickly wipe ourselves down shedding what is left of our clothes before pulling on clean tunics and cuddling together on the bed.

"You're welcome to 'feel like it' anytime." I quip back at him, "Dreams of our last days in Hadlau seem to have me almost constantly aroused. I wish we had more time." He nods in agreement, his purr returning as it often does when we think of Lilas and Emmy and the last days we spent with them.

"Good dreams." It seems I'm not the only one to be dreaming of it then. I don't mention though the dreams I have of what we might do when we finally return to them, after all we made the promise of locking ourselves away again this time for a full week. The Council can rule in our stead until we're ready to return, not knowing when we'll return I think we'll deserve the time together without any interruptions.

"We'll have to end the war as quickly as we can. Then we can return to our mates." I mutter as I fall asleep, the sound of Kor's heartbeat under my cheek lulling me to sleep.
