70. Chores & Rewards. *

He smiled and stepped forward with the one for Norman, which for now used to slice wood.

He balanced is and caught the handle. " Yours going to be special. Made smaller and lighter. Check.."

I took the slim sword and was pleasantly surprised how light it was. It was still a little heavy..but he did say mine will be smaller and lighter so this is just temporary.

I marveled in it's deep brown with the tiniest of red veins running through it. It the sunlight it looked alive.

" I can't believe you came up with something like this.."

" Well..the house of Em did, a few centuries back but sure. You like it? "

I did..I mean I never gave any thoughts to weapons. But, this was a very attractive idea, and I did wanted to train..at least until I'm pregnant. But last time I started to train...

" My love, you can't even kick me..how you gonna train me with this sword? " - I brandished it a little to accentuate my point.

He face palmed and I felt being made fun of.

" Darling..they called wooden swords. Alex is the only idiot conducting training with actual ones. " - his entire character looked exhausted just thinking about it. " We make copies of the same size and weight..from wood. I mean, probably spank you harder in.."

" Okay okay..I get it."

I indeed felt stupid.

I did remember that idiot training with real weapons back when I still couldn't stand him. I pouted a little but, just until he pulled me closer, the rapier dropped.

" It will be fine. Also..What!? What's up with that face!? "

" Nothing really..you did say ten swords..that one to Norman, and one to me? So who is the last for?"

Who else?..not Anna?

" I want one to give Ciren. It was the price of the .." he sincerely slipped up. "...anyway one for her and one for you. 1 plus 1 plus..plus 1."

" The what!? Price of what? "

He looked embarrassed..

" She agreed to teach me..reading and writing. I..dont remember, if I knew once but, for sure I can't now. She teaches me..children books and poems mostly but..yeah. "

I didn't..I didn't even thought about this before. It was mostly a needles skill for us farmers so very few bothered. I caressed his cheeks..

" Why, not tell me ?"

"..I was going to ..I don't know. Embarrassed. It was stupid but.." - he frowned it was clearly a bad memory. " After Carlos heard it, the bastard couldn't stop laughing. So, I asked Ciren and she wanted her personalized espada from Tory in return."

There is nothing wrong or funny about it..stupid Carlos.

" Personally, I don't care but if it makes you feel better I'm all for it. Ilianna should learn from you. Maybe me too. "

He picked me up kissed me softly. Hmm..I liked being in his arms. It was comfortable and safe.

Until I saw his perverted smile.

" I was thinking...let's take back Anna to her grandmother and maybe before, I restart we can..."

" Yes, please.."

We walked back with haste, endured the knowing looks and disappeared, like we were never there.

After a few very satisfying and wild hours spent in the forest. I was dropped off home with a whirlwind and trembling legs.

" What time you coming home? " - I rested my forehead on his chest.

" Ohh there is no need now..since ..ouch..alright!.. "I'll be back after sunset but, I'll do have to go to the city as well so it might be later."

I bit his chest hard and forced him to be serious.

" I'll want to invite the family tonight. - I suddenly lifted my head having a great idea. " The next few weeks will be busy, at least until Anna birthday. So let's do one tonight."

" Sure...sounds lovely. You're not..cooking right?"

" No jerk... It's the usual crew. "

He looked at my pouting profile. " Ohh..I'm sorry, don't look like that." - he kissed all sweet and full of love. " I would eat mud made by you...it would probably taste like your eggs anyway..ahh..I'm sorry..it was to much."

He as rewarded with a few shin kicks.

I tried to repress my own smile but, it's hard hearing him laugh.

I told him a my things needed from the city like fresh sweet for Anna and for me. Others had their own selfish needs for him...using my husband like their personal..I wanna say bird? But they are slow..

" Hurry back, an hour tops."

" Let just..haha, let me hop to it then, The happy skipper, The.. Mr ...wait..this is quite a lot to carry, my love. An hour is not g.."

" Enough with the witty banter. Go and don't be late."

He was gone after a few quick kisses and I went to invite all for something delicious tonight...made by them.

--

" No clumsy, put the potatoes in the middle and bring more water. "

" Sis..we already have wine, ale, and 3 different kind of juices..I think we set. " - my sister nodded wisely.

" I think we set..Don't make me hurt you Eli and just go..make sure, it's ice cold."

She looked like an angry raccoon and left with quick steps.

I was busy setting up the table while others helped arranged the food. We ended up with the Emils as well.

It felt natural, besides granny was very happy hearing my idea. We ate a lot together, almost always in fact but, this is my first time hosting one.

" Sweetheart ? ..go and change..put on something nice.. not white. It's harder to clean."

She wasn't listening but thankfully mother heard me and took Anna to change her.

Demelza arrived soon with Arnold in a nice dress.

" I just talked to Alex. Zephyr's back with everything.. he is down by river with the others. They should be here soon."

" Good..I go and pick out something for Zephyr. The wine is there."

I went upstairs and picked out a nice outfit for him.

Blue shirt, black pants and these comfortable shoes. The door opened and a dripping wet beauty came in.

" You couldn't dry yourself? "

" I'm sorry..I was under the impression I can't, be late dear..what are those for? "

He pointed behind me. What kind of question is that?

" That is your outfit..change and then come..Zephyr!! I'll be wet.."

" That's the plan.."

The bastards took me from behind taking advantage of my back turned to him.

I felt how hard he was, pushed against my ass, his pants wetting my dress. I pushed out as a reflex hard against it..but no. We don't have time.

" No,no..go change..and ..you put it away right now! "

" So, you don't want me to change? "

Well..looking at it all ready for me made it really hard to go around him.

I felt trapped and hypnotized by its shape and size for the thousandth time.

He walked closer and I sat down the bed, now looking up to him naked and with a smile saying he already won.

" Love..you sat on my clothes. Can you..hello? At least look at me."

I closed my eyes and ignored his smell or the fact, I could just have to put my tongue out and..

He made me look up by grabbing my chin. He looked down with barely holding a smile back. Put his finger in my mouth and teased me a little..

KNOCK KNOCK.

" Lylly we all ready..what are you doing? "

He had to answer..my mouth was busy.

" S-sory Eleanor..give us..five minutes."

Five minute huh..we will see.

I felt his hand on my head pushing it down and my hair grabbed, directed in perfect rhythm. My God l loved the look of him all tensed up on his toes.

3..2..1..

He looked satisfied.

" Show me.."

I opened wide to let him see..thank you for the meal.

I got up and grabbed his ass carefully not get my dress any wetter.

" ...now get dressed. We continue tonight..maybe than, you can last five minutes?"

I left a completely satisfied man behind and checked myself in the mirror we put in the hall.

I looked fine, little flushed, my hair needed fixing ..now stop with the perverted smiles and go host.
