The river of love

now, we all have known that Tigris and euphrates were the rivers of those times. when the woman was walking towards the bank of tigris, she encountered a small fairy being who was drinking some of the fresh water from the river.

"Careful, there are crocodiles in them." the fairy squeaks when roxy spoke, she was in the presence of the evil's daughter.

"please...please don't kill me!" The fairy says but roxy approaches her and softly says, "don't worry, little fairy. I'm not like them. I won't harm you." she says, the fairy sighing and seeing the good in her while she goes away, back into the dark woods on the other side of the river.

behind roxy, she could feel the person staring at her as she smiles and turns around.

the distance between them was measured with him not veins able to listen to her speak. that was still alien to them. the small cicadas creaking and the gush of water from the river were the only sounds of nature.

[what are you doing now?] the man asks her from afar.

[came to take a small breeze.] she gestures back with a smile.

[I need to take some time off from hunting too] he says and the woman nods her head. the man starts to make his way over to her while roxy sits down on the patch of grass and observes the tranquility in awe.

[how is the food that we collected in the morning? I hope we do not get sick.] cooking yet was not invented in this patch of civilization. eating raw was something that roxy almost gawked at, throwing up at the sight itself. the mere recollection of the village people eating the raw muscle of the rabbit made her run and come here.

[the rabbit was fresh.] he says and silently laughs at her disgraceful disgusting face.

[I suppose you never tasted it. royalty never eats raw.] he says, almost guessing her rank already because she was actually the princess of hell. what sijna guessed was absolutely stunning to hear as the woman takes pride in his words, clapping her hands as she speaks to him with the same devices.

[I sure am. it is surprising that none of you know anything about me.] she says while sijna raises an eyebrow at her.

[tell me then. maybe I'll be equally surprised as you expected me to be.]

[I can't. I'm not the one to disclose it to...you.] she says with a pause, trying hard not to tell him that he was a lot lower in rank than she was ever.

[okay. but I shall wait for the surprise for as long as it takes.] the woman smiles and looks away.

meanwhile, sijna was looking for a girl to marry at the age of nineteen. he knew he was eighteen lunar years and this 228th lunar month and appearance, he shall be nineteen years exactly.

he was always in count of these weird numbers...after his parents were gone in a hunt that they failed to protect themselves from the huge herd of lions, sijna was left all alone and roxy always knew about it.

[I have been lonely ever since my parents died.] he suddenly says after tapping on she shoulder to get her attention towards him. roxy wanted to say that she knew about it, but the thoughtful woman wanted him to express his feelings and let the anger out in the form of words.

[they were my everything. I loved being their best buddy everywhere they went and took me to. they always said this,] he pauses to take a deep breath and wipe his tears away.

[love is always around, we must find it in anyone that chooses us before themselves.] says sijna as roxy widens her eyes at his saying. well, his parents'.

[do you believe in them?]

[I have no other choice to not. I've seen many mothers protecting their kids when their fathers were mad at them, then the chief who always loved his family and put them first before him. it was during a hunt. he has a huge claw gash scar on his stomach.] he says and she puts in the pieces while understanding his thoughts.

[that is sweet.] she says in his language, the guy smiles profusely before getting up and rubbing his tummy.

[fuel.] he says expansively while the woman chuckles silently with her shoulders. it was now a real trouble to not use the voice anymore, at least in front of them.

lust was the man who always wanted someone or something, a plaything. if it's feisty, extra points awarded. now a person like roxy was getting on his nerves. he chews on the stem of a tree, the grinding of the teeth reminding him about nibbling on a piece of cloth of the many women he made love(lust) to.

he throws the stick away and scoffs, his cold eyes piercing through the air as the sharpness gets the glimpse of her laughing and having fun with the male by the river, splashing water on each other and giggling silently. he imitates their behavior out of spite, making fun of their fun as he clicks his tongue and moves away.

roxy was in his embrace, got ahold from her crimes of splashing more water on him while the man was breathing heavily by her ear. he was tall for an eighteen year old male of these ages, he was muscular too. maybe his genes must be thanked.

his breathing and his loud heartbeat was heard to her, she can feel it on her own back. but what caught her off guard was the substantial increase of his heartbeat, it was as though the longer they stayed together, his heart rate was fluttering as fast as the wings of a humming bird.

she slightly pushes him away,

because she cannot deny the fact that he made her heart flutter, like the humming bird.

gulping down the extra saliva that flowed in, she smiles at him, more like flashing him a tight lipped, unlubricated and forceful smile as she begins to walk away from him. he too felt embarrassed at that moment. as a man of that age, he too had the desires of having a woman and enjoy yhe life of a couple.

he has seen many romantic scenes, ahead of his age too.

some in bed and some deliberately in the grasslands. they looked like they had nothing to worry about. it was as if their world consisted of only two things; him and her.

he heaves out an exhale and rubs his hair with a muted chuckle, licking his lips.

he thinks, she was driving him crazy by the moment that he met her that day. she was wearing all red, symbolizing the power that she portrayed. he was thrilled to know from the eldest of her protectors and guide that she was unmated and unpaired too. she looked older than he must be, but her skin was porcelain and glowing, just like the healing goddess, a blessed boon giver should be.

the male realizes that he was yet wasting more time than to go out hunting with the new troop. two members have died after getting separated and the bears have attacked them. the sad news flowed in after the dinner around the campfire.

"roxy. roxy!" a voice he hears, but he knew that should be only an animalistic sound as sijna shrugs his shoulders and walls away, hurriedly getting back into the safe dungeon of a fence that his civilians have built.

essentially, roxy turns around and looks for the sound in her hut, she could hear him calling for her. but as soon as she turned around, lust was standing behind her and she is pushed to the bed, the male starts taking his clothes off.

before that, the woman instantly brushes her hands across the air as it forms a shield to protect their voices from spilling out of that little balloon.

"I can't wait anymore. every second passes, I get jealous and want to claim you. let me taste you, roxy. this will be our first and our last time."

you might be wondering why roxy didn't call out for help. this wasn't the first attempt of an assault by the king of sex, infact it happened just the previous night.

"oh stop it!" she screams at him, getting back to her feet.

"I can't. I promise not to stop when I'm inside you." He does not stop, indeed.

the blabbering.

"I didn't say that. I said stop bothering me. I'm not opening my legs for you- and why are you jealous!? huh? jealous of sijna?" She asks him as he does not have any words in his mouth but he adjusts the boner in his clothes by his hand, roxy unintentionally sees his tip peeking out of the mud colored fabric as she curses out loud.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!?"

"okay deal. just touch my thing once." He says and deliberately pulls his c*ck out but before the mishap happens, roxy quickly curses on him and he lands away into the river that she was at.

out of frustration, she slaps her forehead and sighs, looking down.

"but that was a huge c*ck. appreciated, also his body, ugh. why must that creature make me horny now!?" She screams out and lands herself on the bed, trying to go southward and settle that frustration away.
