Chapter 14

Early the next morning, Ian woke up with a severe backache.

Ian winced as he tried to get up, he felt really terrible, There was white fluid all over him, especially between his legs and he felt really uncomfortable. The air smelled of sex.

"Did you get up?" Caesar said walking past the wall.

Ian glared at him and got up with difficulty just to lay his hands on something wet," Oh no..." Ian exclaimed," the bed..."

"Are you okay?" Caesar asked, ignoring Ian's dilemma.

"No, I'm not!!!" Ian wailed unhappily," I feel sticky and my back hurts and... and the mattress is ruined!!!!"

Ian turned away from Caesar unhappily and rubbed his back pitifully.

"I'm sorry, hey, look at me," Caesar coaxed turning Ian around and gasped.

Clear translucent tears streaked down Ian's face and the corners of his eyes were tinged red.

"Why are you crying?" Caesar asked frightened, he'd never had to deal with anyone crying.

"I feel really bad...," Ian said between sobs.

" I'm sorry, okay? I'll wash you and wash the mattress, okay? It'll make you feel better, wait, let me get you some water."

Caesar scurried out and got Ian some water in their new bamboo cups," Here drink this."

Ian grudgingly drank the water and watched as Caesar hurried out and came back with a wet piece of fur and started wiping Ian.

"What are you doing?" Ian complained as Caesar started wiping between his legs.

"I promise, I'm just cleaning you okay?" Caesar appeased," Spread them wider."

Ian flushed but did as he was told and soon felt refreshed. But he was still going to take a bath later.

Caesar looked at Ian who wouldn't meet his eyes and dragged his chin so they were eye to eye," Did you dislike it last night? Did it feel bad? Did it hurt?"

Ian flushed under Caesar's intense gaze but thought back to how sensitive Caesar could be," It hurt a little at first, but it didn't feel bad..."

Ian stole a quick glance at Caesar to see him frowning and grudgingly continued,"It felt good..." he whispered and blushed harder," I liked it."

Caesar finally chuckled which made Ian quip, "But it felt really bad this morning! It was sticky and my back hurt and I felt disgusting!" he fumed," I won't let you do it again unless you promise to clean me after we're done!"

"Okay, okay," Caesar appeased," I'll do that. Now come and eat, I tried making the meat like you did but I'm not sure if I did it well."

Ian nodded and got up, only to fall down. Caesar laughed and moved to pick him up.

"No!" Ian squealed," I didn't put on any clothes!"

Ian burrowed into the fur covers and motioned for Caesar to leave.

Caesar got the clothes and leaned in," I already saw everything," he remarked trying to pull Ian from the cover," Maybe we aren't familiar enough," he said suggestively.

"No!!!!!" Ian exclaimed, getting up and grabbing his robe.

He quickly wore it frowning, he needed to make more clothes.

Ian went and sat at the table and started to eat the meat prepared by Caesar. It wasn't half bad.

" It's pretty good," he complimented impressed.

Caesar smiled," It's not comparable to yours though," and grabbed some for himself.

Ian quickly finished and decided to hurry and take a bath before he goes to do his task.

Looking back at Caesar, he said," I'm going to take a bath and then go to do the task," he explained, before giving Caesar a quick peck on the lips and hurrying out of the cave not looking back.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Ian put the last pear into the sack and sighed as he looked down at it. He really didn't want to carry it!

He was already having trouble walking, Caesar had no remorse! It was a good thing that he insisted upon...

Why is he thinking about that while picking fruit?!!

Ian looked down flushed.

He had really liked it though. He wanted to do it again. It felt empty without Caesar...

Ahhhhh!!!! What was he going to do?! Didn't all the novels say that the bottom would be very tired?? He had become a little pervert!

Ian wilted in embarrassment.

He suddenly straightened. So what if he liked it? So what if he was a little pervert!

Caesar was his mate! And he was allowed to covet him however much he wanted! Yeah! That's right!

Ian nodded suddenly making Barbara look at him strangely.

Ian continued thinking, he had such a hard life as an agent, he deserved to live such a peaceful one! He suffered so much when he had lost his tribe, it's best to enjoy life now!

Ian made up his mind, he could ask for it again today!

"Ian! Barbara!" Micheal called, "Let's go back to the tribe!"

"Okay!" Barbara called back," Come on Ian, let's go!"

Ian nodded following Barbara hauling his bulging sack full of fruit with seemingly no difficulty. His arms were packed with lean muscle.

When they dropped off all the fruit, Ian split ways and went towards the forest with his spear and backpack. Ian sighed he was quite delayed because he needed to wash the fur cover. And it was as extremely difficult to do so. Not only was Ian was embarrassed the entire time, but priest Dunya's daughter also made trouble for him with some of her friends.

Ian sighed, what was that girl's problem??? She kept picking at him and acting like a high school bully. As if Ian would be bothered, he had worse experiences and had met people who were plain evil.

Ian scratched himself. His clothes were starting to smell, he needed to make new ones.

He should ask Caesar if he can use the pelts and furs.

Ian's main objective today was to find something that smelled nice, he couldn't bear the musky smell that came with the hot weather. Looking around, Ian suddenly thought of finding some mushrooms and searched the bark of some trees more thoroughly. But could only find some poisonous and inedible ones.

Ian sighed, the flora and fauna here were similar to that of his previous world except for a few extra species. Looking around, suddenly Ian found a familiar-looking plant.

Lemon Grass! Great! This would not only smell nice but it could also be used in cooking nice dishes! Ian suddenly thought of making some lemon fish and drooled in anticipation. He whirled in place and did a little jiggle, he was really getting tired of eating meat straight. Especially after regaining his memories, there were so many things to make! So many things he wants to eat again!

Thinking about it, Ian walked a little further into the forest.

-------------------------------

Agh!!!!

Ian kept stepping on acorns. He frowned dissatisfied.

Ian had been in such a hurry to get out of the cave today morning, that he had forgotten his boots. He suddenly thought about how Caesar didn't wear any shoes or anyone in the tribe. Ian picked up the acorn thoughtfully, maybe he should make a pair for Caesar.

Ian threw the acorn away sighing. He really wanted to find some mushrooms too, but he only found acorns.

Wait. Acorns...

Couldn't he make acorn flour?

Ian jumped at the sudden thought. Acorn flour!

Acorn flour had a different taste from normal wheat flour, but it was something that Ian enjoyed. It could be used for both baking and cooking.

His lemon fish today was going to be elevated!

Ian smiled happily and looked up at the sky. The sky wasn't darkening yet, so he should be able to forage around a bit more and try to find some mushrooms.
