Margaret and Rourke find their way through their wedding night, and the count approaches. Please reblog and leave feedback!
Rourke led you inside his cottage. It was homey and well lived in, but clean to the point that it seemed like he’d torn the house apart to clean it appropriately sometime before you arrived. The effort he’d gone to made you giggle, but it also made you feel warm. He sat you at the table and gave you a cup of water to sip while he went to remove his armor and weaponry and to stoke the fire.
As you sat there, the nerves began to set in. You knew what a wedding night was for, and you were terrified. You hoped he couldn’t see you trembling in the low light.
That was a vain hope, it seemed, as he pulled the cup out of your hands and crouched in front of you, gazing up at your face.
“What is it, my love?” He asked softly, almost whispering. “Are you scared?”
You chuckled nervously. “Don’t orcs find it shameful to be scared?”
“Perhaps, but you’re not an orc,” He replied, reaching up to caress your face. “It’s alright to be scared, Margaret. You know I won’t think less of you.”
A tear escaped your eye, though you dashed it away.
“I’m scared,” You admitted.
He nodded and smiled softly. “That’s alright, sweetheart. We don’t have to do anything tonight.”
“No, I want… to try…” You said. “I don’t want to be scared anymore. It’s been almost two decades since… since it happened. I’m too old to still be like this.”
“No, you’re not,” He said, ruffling your hair. “Fear doesn’t always go away like we want it to, even if much time has passed. But if you want to try, we can try. I’ll take it slow and be as careful as I can.”
You nodded. “Alright.”
He took your hands, pulling you to your feet and leading you to the bed, which had brand new bedding placed on it. He sat down and pulled you close, hugging you around the middle and laying his head on your stomach, sighing happily. You smiled fondly at him, stroking the top of his head. After a moment, he pulled back to look up at you but kept his arms around your waist.
“I’ll keep my clothes on for now,” He said. “I’ll even put more on, if you like.”
You laughed. “How are we supposed to do anything with your clothes on?”
He grinned up at you. “We’ll play a little first, just to help you relax.”
“Play?”
He nodded. “I’ll show you.” He released your waist and took your hands again, looking up at you sweetly. “Can I undress you?”
Your anxiety rose up, but you stuffed it back down. “Yeah, it’s alright.”
While seated, he slowly and carefully drew up the pretty wedding dress that had been made in a hurry for you and pulled it over your head. The chemise went next, and then your smallclothes, and finally you stood nude in front of him, wearing nothing except the flowers in your hair. You shivered in both terror and anticipation. He kissed the knuckles of both hands.
“Gods. You’re so beautiful.”
You ducked your head, hiding behind your hair a little and tugging a strand, playing with it nervously. He stood and pulled back the covers of the bed, holding out his hand as if to help you into a carriage. You laughed at his silliness and climbed into the bed, allowing him to slide in next to you fully clothed.
“What are you going to do?” You asked him as he knelt next to you.
“Just touch,” He said. “And kiss. If it becomes too much for you, you may stop me at any time. I don’t want you to force yourself through it because you feel like you have to. I don’t want to hurt or frighten you, even unintentionally. Alright?”
You nodded. He bent down to kiss your lips, his tongue grazing your bottom lip. It made your body tingle in unfamiliar ways. It seemed like he wanted you to open your mouth, so you did, and his tongue entered, swirling about and teasing your own. He pulled back to look at your face as his hand began to touch your body, starting with your face, tracing down your neck and collarbone, stopping at your breasts and rolling them in his hands. A lump formed in your throat and you took a deep breath.
“Can I kiss them?” He asked.
“Yes,” You said breathlessly.
He bent his head and kissed your breasts softly, nuzzling them with his nose and touching the tip of his tongue against the nipples, sucking it into his mouth. You could feel his tusks grazing your skin, dry and solid, but it was the one thing that felt thrilling rather than scary.
He lay next to you and rested his elbow above your head so that he could look down at you.
“I’m going to touch lower now, alright?”
You nodded again, and his hand moved down your stomach and over your hips, settling in the patch of hair above the deepest part of you. He started raking his fingertips forward and backward through that thicket in a teasing manner.
“Feel weird?” He asked with a grin.
“Yes,” You replied, a blush bright on your skin.
“Feel bad?”
“No,” You said.
“Are you alright so far?” He asked with a tilt of his head.
“I think so.”
“Good.”
He reached down a little farther and lifted your right leg, placing it over his own legs, so that he could tease your inner thighs. You bit your lip and held his gaze, swallowing hard.
“I’m going to touch you there,” He said. “Is that alright?”
You gulped, but nodded. His hand moved to circle the sensitive bundle of nerves, touching it lightly to test your reaction. It was an unusual sensation, but it wasn’t bad, so you smiled to encourage him to keep going. He bent to kiss you, pressing more firmly, rolling in circles around the bud, whipping up a brand new feeling in the innermost parts of you. It was a sensation you’d never felt, but you thought you might be enjoying it.
Then, one of his fingers slipped inside you.
The effect was immediate. Panic rose up in you and your body locked up in terror. You gasped as though in pain and gripped his arm, whimpering piteously. Tears gathered in your eyes as you snapped them shut, blocking out every sensation except for his touch, intensifying the fear.
“Margaret, look at me,” Rourke said, his voice soft but firm. “Sweetheart, open your eyes. Look at me.”
You pried your eyes open to look at him, his visage blurred from the tears.
“I’m right here, sweetheart,” He said, removing his hand and peering down at you with worry. “I’m here. It’s alright. I’m here. Do you want to stop?”
You shook your head fervently, wiping away tears. “I want to do this.”
“Are you sure? You don’t seem in the right state to continue.”
“Yes, I’m sure,” You insisted. “I can do this. Just… put it back in and leave it… let me get used to the feeling. Let me look at your face and try to get accustomed to it.”
“Alright, but don’t push yourself. If it’s too much, tell me.”
He pushed his first and middle fingers back inside you up to the knuckles and stopped, leaving it in place. The panic crested in your chest and you had to choke back more tears, but you didn’t push him away.
“I love you, Margaret. I love you so much,” He said. He said it over and over, kissing your face in between repeating those words like a chant. Minutes ticked past and he remained motionless with his finger still in place, allowing you to acclimate to the feeling of something being inside you, murmuring how much he loved you and speaking your name reverently, peppering your face in kisses.
“I think I’m alright,” You told him eventually. Your heart had settled and you weren’t as panicky as you were at first, but a lump of anxiety still sat in your gut and you were still trembling.
“You’re sure?” He asked, uncertain.
You nodded.
“Can I try something before continuing?”
“Alright,” You said, and then you pulled him in for a kiss. “I love you, too, Rourke.”
He smiled at you, kissing you in return. Without removing his finger, he sat up and positioned himself between your legs, lowering his body so that he was eye level with the most intimate part of your body. Before you had a chance to feel embarrassed, he pressed his tongue against your core, and you gasped.
“What are you doing?!”
“Playing,” He said, grinning up at you sinfully. “You said I could.”
“I didn’t know you’d do this!” You said indignantly, surprised out of the panic. “It’s dirty!”
“No, it isn’t, you silly thing,” He said with a laugh. “You want me to stop or do you want to find out what this feels like?”
You glared at him, and he grinned.
“Oh, alright,” You said, rolling your eyes, laying back down.
He returned to his business, licking the pearl before closing his lips on it and sucking gently. A shock went through your spine and a thrill in your belly. You could still feel his fingers inside you, and while it caused you anxiety, it was secondary to the sudden surge of sensation. You felt yourself bite your lip and heard your own voice whimper in a completely different way. You were sitting against the pillows in such a way that you could watch him, and he looked up at you, half of his gaze was seductive, but the other half of it was just to check if you were okay. You smiled down at him and reached to run your fingers through his long, loose hair and caress his face. He smiled in return and doubled his efforts. Surprised, you moaned and your head fell back on the pillows.
He licked rhythmically, alternating between using the tip of his tongue and sucking, and you felt a slow, sweet swelling of sensation welling up between your legs.
“ Oh, god… ” You moaned. Taking that as a cue, Rourke moved his fingers slightly, not pulling them out, but crooking them and rubbing inside slightly. The anxiety spiked slightly, but subsided as another feeling started rushing forward, flowing outward from your center to every corner of your body. Your toes curled and your fingers gripped his hair as the wall crashed into you, and you cried out involuntarily as your back arched against the sheets. Your hips moved on their own, rocking back and forth to ride out the wave, before falling limp against the bed, legs open, chest heaving.
Rourke kissed your thighs and rubbed the skin of them as you regained your composure. “Did it feel nice?” He asked you.
“Yeah…” You breathed.
“That’s what it’s meant to feel like, you know,” He said, kissing his way back up her sweat-sheened body. “No pain, no fear. Just pleasure. ”
“I can see why people seem so eager for it now,” You said, laughing a little. “Is it always supposed to feel like that?”
“When you do it right, it is,” He said, chuckling. “It helps that I know what I’m doing.”
“Thank heavens for that,” You said as he reached your mouth, kissing you deeply. He pressed his clothed body against yours, and you felt a sense of safety in his arms, the weight of his body on yours felt comforting rather than frightening. Flush against you, you could feel that he was hard under his trousers, and though it scared you, you were still willing to try.
Rourke would never hurt me , You told yourself. I’m safe. He loves me. I can do this.
You kissed him a moment longer, and then held his face in your hands, looking into his eyes.
“You can take your clothes off now,” You said.
He tilted his head, searching your face.
“You’re sure?”
You lifted your head to place a peck on his lips. “I’m sure.”
He returned the peck and sat up on his knees between your legs, shedding his overcoat and tunic. He started to undo his pants, and the jangling sound of the belt being unbuckled made you grip the sheets in terror, but you stuffed it down and tried to breathe through it, watching him strip before you. He cut a rather handsome figure, if you did say so yourself.
Once he was free of his clothing, he lay back down on you and kissed you once more. Your legs closed around him reflexively. You could feel his organ pressed against your entrance lengthways, but he didn’t penetrate you. Before he got too into it, though, he rolled off of you and lay back on the bed.
“Would you like to try playing with me?” He said, caressing your face. “You might be less scared of… well, it… if you get to know it better. It won’t bite, I promise.”
You laughed a little, sitting up into a kneeling position next to him. “You make it sound like an angry puppy.”
“It’s not much different, really, just half as cute and twice as harmless,” He joked, and you laughed behind your hand.
He lay on his back with one arm behind his head and the other petting your leg, patient and unhurried. His organ was erect and laying on his stomach, pulsating slightly. Nervously, you slowly reached out to touch it, grazing it lightly, but snatched your hand back when it bobbed up, as if to meet your hand.
“It jumped,” You squeaked, startled.
He chuckled at you. “It does that. Not to worry.”
You reached out again and pressed a finger to the skin of his length, rubbing it a little, and Rourke sighed heavily, continuing to pet your leg. Swallowing, you wrapped your hand around it and rubbed your thumb over it. It was strangely silky to the touch, and you found yourself curious more than scared. Of course, you were still scared, but it wasn’t as intense as before. You pumped your hand up and down once, and Rourke’s back arched slightly. Intrigued, you did it again, and his thighs twitched.
“You keep doing that, and it’ll be over before it begins,” He said with a laugh.
“Does it feel good?” You asked him.
“Oh, you have no idea,” He said. “It’s been a long time since anyone’s touched me, besides myself, so I’m… more sensitive than I’d normally be.” He gazed at her face. “You alright?”
“Yeah, I think so,” You said. “This… does help a bit. I guess it’s not… this… that’s the biggest problem. It’s who it’s attached to that’s scary.”
“That’s a good way to look at it,” He said, rolling on his side and kissing your thigh. “We can still stop, you know. We don’t have to keep going.”
“No, no,” You assured him. “I feel… a lot better now, actually. I think I’m alright to… move on.”
“You’re sure?”
You nodded. “Yeah.”
“Then… want to lie down?”
You complied, lying on your back. He rolled over and placed himself between your legs, propped up on his elbows, though he bent down to kiss you.
“It’s okay to be scared, Margaret,” He whispered, kissing your face. “But I’ll never hurt you. I love you.”
“I love you,” You whispered back. “It’s alright. I trust you.”
“Why don’t you try leading me in,” He suggested. “It may help if you’re doing it yourself.”
“Alright,” You said. Trepidatiously, you reached between the two of you and touched it, using your fingertips to press it against your entrance. The panic welled up again, but you were able to shove it down deeper and proceed. He pushed a little and the head went in slowly. It didn’t hurt, per se, it was more like intense pressure.
“You alright?” He asked.
You nodded. “I think so? It feels… I don’t know how to say it.”
“It’s it bad?”
“No, not like… well… it’s just strange.”
“Stop?”
“No, it’s alright. I can keep going,” You insisted.
He pressed a bit harder, and more of his length entered you. After a few moments, his entire organ was inside you. He kissed you sweetly, and you gripped his shoulders. You could feel fear, but it wasn’t like it had been before. You felt… safer. It didn’t hurt and it wasn’t terrifying. Being with Rourke made it feel less scary. Was it just because it was him? He always found some way to make you feel calm and safe, and you couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone other than him. Giving yourself to him felt more like a gift, rather than something that was expected of you because you were his wife.
“Is it alright to move?” He asked you.
You nodded, kissing him. “Yes, I’m alright. I feel fine.”
He kissed your lips, your face, your neck, and your shoulder. He nibbled on your collarbone as he began to thrust in and out very slowly, gently caressing your body with his hands and using his tongue to make your skin tingle. You made a sound, and he sped up only slightly, looking at your face to be sure you were comfortable.
“Kiss me, Rourke,” You told him, and he did. Using your heels against the back of his thighs, you urged him to go faster, and he obliged, and the good sensation you felt earlier when he was licking below slowly began to reappear. You gasped and sighed, and he smiled.
“You’re squeezing me,” He said, slowing for a moment.
“Is that bad?” You asked anxiously.
“No, quite the opposite, it means you’re feeling good. It’s a good thing,” He chuckled. “I had to slow a bit to keep from bursting too quick.”
“Would that be bad?” You asked.
“Not for me, but certainly for you. Don’t want to end this before you get yours,” He said.
“Get mine?”
“You’ll see.”
He thrust again, a bit more focused than before. He moved in such a way that he rubbed the pearl below with his body, and the good feeling started again, building stronger. You gasped again as he pressed his teeth against your earlobe, sucking and teasing it. A slight moan escaped your lips, and he chuckled, a sighing groan issuing from his own mouth.
“Rourke, faster, please,” You urged him, and he complied. He got up on his hands and quickened his pace so that your body was being moved beneath him in rhythm to his thrusts. He thrust in deep, deeper than before, and you felt a swell of sensation so powerful that your back arched a bit.
“Was that good?” He asked, peering at your face. “You’re squeezing so hard now.”
“Yes, it felt good,” You told him. “Can you keep doing that?”
He grinned. “Yes, ma’am,” He said, and thrust deeply again.
You moaned and your eyes closed, and from that point, things seemed to happen quickly. Your mind was cleared of any thought or emotion besides the pleasure you felt where you were joined with him, and the sensations flooded your body like a river. You didn’t seem to be able to control your voice or your body, but it instead seemed to behave instinctually from then on, grasping Rourke, kissing him over and over, and moaning loudly. He grunted into your hair as you felt him pulse inside you, though he was still careful to be gentle as he thrust. The sweet sensation swelled and swelled until it burst like a dam throughout your body, and you cried out against his skin, resisting the urge to bite down on his shoulder. The pulsing inside you became faster and more intense, and he groaned as his body went taut against yours, his essence flooding you inside. You could feel yourself become full of him as he slowed to a stop and collapsed onto your body, breathing hard.
The two of you lay entangled with each other, gasping for air, and eventually he rolled off and went to collect a clean rag, dipping it in some warm water that was in a pot near the fireplace. He came back and wiped you clean, and then himself, and lay back down on the bed, gathering you in his arms. Holding your face, he searched your eyes in concern.
“Are you alright, my love?” He asked. “You’re not hurt, are you?”
“No, not at all,” You told him, kissing his lips tenderly. “I’m alright. I think I’m fine.”
“You’re sure?”
“Yes,” You assured him. You snuggled into his body tiredly. “I’m just fine, Rourke. Thank you.”
“It’s nothing to thank me for, my sweet,” He said, kissing the top of your head and pulling the blankets over the both of you. “It’s only natural.”
Time seemed to pass quickly after the wedding. Rourke was a wonderful husband, everything you could ever have dreamed of, and being with him made you happier than you’d ever been in your life. Nights were… still difficult in many ways, but Rourke helped you through it every time so that you could eventually enjoy it. It would still take more time for the events of the past to lose its grip on you, but for now, Rourke was a balm for that wound.
It did take nearly a month for the count to arrive, and the stronghold was steadily getting bigger as the townsfolk from Willowridge took shelter inside the walls. Rourke became much busier; contrary to what you believed, he was more than just a mere gate guard. Guarding the gate was just something he did when he wasn’t needed for his main duty: he was one of Akjan’s most trusted men and the leader of the reconnaissance and recovery team. David, the man who infiltrated the count’s manor, was one of many of Rourke’s direct subordinates, though he himself had his own squad of men who reported through him to Rourke, and from Rourke to Akjan. As such, Rourke was helping Akjan structure the troops for the coming incursion.
You, too, were much busier, as more mouths to feed from the town meant that the kitchens were in constant chaos in the attempt to feed everyone. It helped that the townspeople had brought food with them, so there wouldn’t be a shortage.
It was because you were so busy that, at first, you hadn’t realized your monthly visitor hadn’t appeared. In fact, when you realized it, it was the same day as when the scout informed Akjan and the generals that the count was only a day out and would be arriving in the afternoon of the next day at the latest. You spent the entire day in a state of such anxiety that the women in the kitchen forced you to take the day off.
Back at your cottage that you shared with Rourke, you waited in terror for Rourke to return. When he did, he looked upset and worried.
“You weren’t at the dining hall, what happened?” He asked, crossing the room in a single stride.
“He’s almost here…” You said, sobbing and shaking. “I’m so scared, Rourke, I’m so scared.”
He picked you up and carried you to the bed, laying you down and getting in after you, holding you close to him.
“It’s going to be okay, my love,” He said. “Nothing is going to happen to you, I promise. He’s outmatched by a long mile, he can’t get to you.”
“What about you?” You asked him, tears streaking down your face. “Where will you be?”
He sighed reluctantly. “I’ll be at the gate. That’s where I’m always stationed,” He told you.
You cried harder. “You could get hurt. He could kill you! Even if he’s defeated, he will still kill people. You could be one of them! I can’t lose you!”
“You won’t, my love,” He said reassuringly. “I can guarantee that. I can’t tell you why just yet, but we have an ace in the hole he can’t beat. I promise, love, I’ll be alright.”
“Swear to me!”
“I swear, love, I swear,” He said, kissing your brow. “You’ll wait with the other women, won’t you? Don’t do anything reckless because you’re worried. You must swear that to me.”
You nodded, sniffling. “I swear.” You gulped. “Rourke?”
“Yes, my love?”
“When it’s over… I have to tell you something.”
