       To break the circle
       By: Inkglitched Date: March 17, 2023, 5:04 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Hannavas was a place like no other, one side a dangerous jungle,
       the other an endless desert. While one couldn’t properly support
       a nation, oases littered across the desert, and some near
       caverns that housed the desert dwellers were often known to be
       somewhat uncivilized. The arts were heavily embraced by the
       people and Song was used as a form of communication. It was a
       harsh place, but most made their way to being happy.  Here the
       abandoned, exiled and more had started their own way of life,
       and eventually had their own habitat. As a result, tribes had
       been established for well over a hundred years.. though exiled
       and the abandoned still frequently happen today.
       Meanwhile, in the more dense jungle held more organized people,
       who lived with some technology. Some called it the tree of
       wisdom that they all linked to, through that of the Fae Queen
       who looked like a mere child for a time.Despite appearances, she
       was wise and ruled fairly.
       Underneath her were the sages, all voted in with knowledge in a
       specialized field. Architecture, sciences, health, and more.
       They thrived on knowledge, and here the arts in the form of
       music were forbidden. It was deemed useless by what they called
       “academia”.  Books were outlawed from the public unless retired
       from their main library. This was the result of one of the  past
       fae queen who had been betrayed by matters of the heart- but had
       stood there and withstood time to continue to be. Thanks to it
       though- most seemed to thrive on logic, and rarely the heart.
       And most would believe them happy.
       Things start as a certain little redhead in her own small oasis
       was going toe to toe with a ravager. The ravager group had been
       attacking her small home for some time and would send random
       members to try to take it. It was small and quaint , the
       cerulean waters often looked inviting to thirsty interlopers,
       and with how resources were - gems like these were quite
       protected.”hey! Get your ass out of my home!” Shouted the red
       head as she managed to send a shock of lightning- managing to
       land the man’s keister.
       He gave quite the yelp, almost high pitched as he felt the shock
       of his ass, only to rub all the faster. He never thought in his
       life he would make such a mistake. For sure next time- he’d
       listen to snow when he was told he didn’t have a chance.
       ”See you in a couple of suns!” Eden shouted at the retreating
       back end of the man. Of course it was followed with a rather
       boisterous laugh for such a small frame. Eden gave a gentle roll
       of her right arm, the shock felt a bit off- but thankfully she
       was fine. Thanks to her tuning abilities she was able to keep
       most at bay. Despite her cherry demeanor she kept up- deep
       inside her mind was starting to finally whittle down to the last
       of her sanity of being alone.
       After seeing no man- she turned to her fire where she was
       cooking before being surprise attacked. Sure enough,no big
       surprise, her food had been turned over in the scuffle. Least
       she managed to keep the booze safe. Eden sighed deeply as she
       knew she’d have to hunt again. Eden knew if she was gonna go- it
       was with a hot meal and a good drink.
       The girl adjusted herself from her fight, tuned water to cool
       down the pot and got it picked up. Once things looked safe
       enough, she began on her way out, in the blazing hot sun. To go
       hunt down food again. The boar was lucky enough- she didn’t
       think anything else would stumble out of that forest!

       Adan ignored the grumbling from the other city dwellers as he
       headed closer to the last ruins. It had taken over two weeks to
       get here and he wasn't going to be distracted for one second by
       petty fights. The heat of the dessert was already making him
       sweat, but he wasn't about to complain. He had been expecting
       the harsh heat, unlike the others.
       "Mr. T, you shouldn't go off on your own!" The voice of one of
       their hired bodyguards called after him.
       "So come along then," Adan called over his shoulder. "I'm here
       to do a job, and I'm going to get started."
       He heard the guard curse him and he chuckled to himself. Sure he
       was being a bit foolish, but he truly didn't care. If he didn't
       come back from this job he really didn't mind. It was one of the
       major reasons why he'd made sure he was attached to the group in
       the first part.
       His mind went back to how his parents had planned his entire
       life out for him. Even down to who he would eventually marry and
       have children with. That wasn't the worst part though. Though
       they knew he hated politics..that was what they wanted him to do
       with his life. But to do that, he'd have to give up all his
       dreams and his love of languages. Oh no..a Tennere noble
       couldn't be an explorer or worse, an academic in their minds. Up
       until now..he'd gone along with his parents' wishes. Now he was
       done with bending to their wishes. He had to find a way out of
       the boring future they planned for him.
       His mind came out of these thoughts when he and his guard came
       within a few feet of the ruins. There were still parts of the
       once impressive temple walls that stood a good twenty feet high.
       Adan's eyes focused on the strange glowing runes that were
       highlighted by the slowly lowering sunset.
       "What does it say?" The guard asked, sounding a bit wary.
       Adan didn't answer, instead pulling his pack off and pulling out
       some writing materials. Then he jotted down the runes exactly as
       he saw them. "It's a prophecy of some sort I think. I'll have to
       look it over closer later. I'm not always able to decipher these
       older languages right away. It can take a little time to
       translate them," He admitted.
       He was so caught up walking around to get the whole set of runes
       that he didn't realize he'd stepped outside the jungle border
       and right into the desert sands. It didn't help much that the
       temple was actually smack dab in the middle of the two
       territories. Still..usually when a jungle dweller left their own
       territory, it would trigger some sort of alarm on the desert
       side.

       Eden had managed to get to the jungle border, her eyes taking it
       in. She knew all sorts of things had a tendency to trip the
       alarm- animals, people, heck a fallen tree. More commonly it was
       the desert folk getting in or the exiled attempting to get back
       in. What Eden didn’t expect was a dark haired stranger- dressed
       nicely.  Her head followed him- as he was rather good looking-
       and from where she was at- didn’t seem distance mattered. As
       predicted the alarm sounded as the man seen quite startled from
       what was going on. What was worse it looked like his guard
       wasn’t even trying to come on their side to retrieve their
       charge.
       "Ohh, boy- what dumb dumbs.. and they’re  in for a rude
       awakening,” eden mumbled under her breath. The woman seemed to
       let her head tilt left and right to make a decision to not get
       involved with the dark haired stranger at first. But her
       shoulders dipped as her conscious got the best of her.  ”oh
       fu.ck me.” She muttered as she took off at a speed no one could
       dream of going - unless you were a wind tuner.
       Eden reached the trespassing man rather quickly, and then got
       very much in his face. “Hey you dumb dumb!” She stated as she
       grabbed his arm, and then yanked him towards one of the intact
       Ruin walls.  She ran her blade out to get it against his neck,
       pressing it enough to draw blood as she uttered her warning with
       some hint of threat in her voice.”Don’t move.”
       Eden turned to  see A male  pack member coming up. She could
       tell he was small and agile- but figured he’d get the picture if
       she threatened by taking off her mask and let end out. She then
       put her hand on a loose part of her mask strap . The man noticed
       who it was and paled, to skid to a stop- and then ran the other
       direction to avoid the confrontation.
       The ravager on the other side  that continued to barrel ahead
       though. Did, not seem to care who Eden was. Eden seeing this
       man’s resolve faced him down - despite the fact he could tower
       over her. She swiftly yanked off her mask to tie it off on her
       belt as end took over. As predicted , the ravager skidded and
       had a look of sheer horror fill his face seeing the eyes of
       someone about to end him. To Adan, he would only see her back.
       End seemingly moved like a blur, which adan would feel the wind
       that wrapped around to see a man’s head rolling in the sand. She
       quietly tied it back over her eyes before turning back, not
       wishing to scare the man as she tried to flip back to Eden
       giving time given how her blood was boiling.
       ”Now what kind of stupid are you to walk into the desert?!?”
       Eden demanded. ”You do realize if either got you- you’d die,
       right? Or be a fu.ck toy.” Eden said in a dry tone. Now that he
       was closer.. she could see how his eyes were to blush a little..
       and from his build - clearly did work out a little. Her tone
       changed as she figured he might be more prone to scare off with
       someone threatening to take him whether he liked it or not. “I
       mean you’re good-looking and all.” She waved her hand over him.
       “ maybe I should take you with me… keep you as mine” Eden then
       said in a flirty tone. "it gets lonely at night you know.” She
       added with a small smirk- waiting for the reaction she had only
       from one other man that dared to come from the jungle.
       That’s when she took notice of his notebook that had been
       dropped in the sand and moved to pick it up. She opened it and
       started thumbing through it slowly. It was filled with notes and
       what looked like rune markings.. it piqued her interest at it to
       tilt her head curiously
       “You know there are ruins deeper in the desert with more of this
       stuff.. though that means you’ll have to deal with the tribes to
       even try.. some use them like homes.. so you’d be outta luck.
       Heck even that radical one that follows the Red king god. The
       fanatics- but they are kinda crazy..” She said as she thumbed
       through it more.”You might get killed trying to research this
       you know.” She said as she pointed at a page- her head motioning
       to look at Adan a little.

       The sound of the delayed blaring alarms startled Adan out of his
       fascination, causing him to drop his leather-bound journal. "Oh
       shit!" he swore, realizing far too late that he'd stepped over
       into the desert. His bodyguard gulped and motioned for him to
       come back to the other side.
       Only Adan didn't have a chance to. A split second later, what
       felt like a mini tornado hit him and there was a smallish form
       standing in front of him, Then he was suddenly backed up against
       one of the Ruin walls, a blade being held against his neck.
       Every hair on his body stood up; realizing finally just how much
       danger he might be in at the desert dweller's suggestion. It
       wasn't one of the dead languages that she spoke; but one he'd
       learned easily enough. It amazed him and shocked him when the
       female pulled away and moved to stand down a truly terrifying
       ravager a good two feet taller than she was.
       Adan stayed rooted to the spot, even though his bodyguard begged
       him to run towards him while the desert people were occupied. He
       just couldn't seem to pull himself away. After all..she'd
       ordered him to not run. He was inclined to follow her
       order..especially after seeing one man run off and the other one
       decapitated out of seemingly nowhere. She had to have used some
       sort of magic to do such a thing. Perhaps the wind that kept
       flaring up around him?
       He gulped when the female turned back to demand why he'd walked
       into the desert. He hadn't realized just how much danger he'd
       been in, until she told him he could have died. The other thing
       she suggested though..didn't seem like a bad alternative.
       An idea began to form when she mentioned he was rather
       good-looking and that she could take him with her. "I...I wasn't
       thinking about there being danger. I was fascinated with the
       ruins and walked over the boundary mark without noticing," He
       admitted softly and slowly. "I wouldn't mind making a deal with
       you on the other offer. I am sure we can come to some sort of
       mutual agreement," He added quickly. "I'd prefer the dessert
       over my own home right now,"
       He moved towards her when she found his notebook and began to
       thumb through it. It was a bit surprising and satisfying to know
       that she knew of more ruins in the desert. "Well...I know the
       others won't go that far, but I will. Take me there, please. If
       there are more ruins and more glyphs to decipher I need to see
       them."
       "I'm called Adan, what's your name?" He finally asked..wanting
       to have the name of the woman that had saved his life.

       “-Walked without noticing- so you are that kind of stupid.” Eden
       said rather bluntly at the dark haired man. Pretty sure- but she
       was questioning his lack of awareness and if he’d end up back
       there if she left him alone. Eden seemed a bit lost in these
       thoughts until the man’s suggestion shocked her back into
       reality. Of course her mouth slacked a little in amazement or
       shock one wouldn’t know given her mask on her eyes.
       The desert over your own home?” Eden asked quietly. Somehow she
       felt a deep pang of jealousy, small. But not quite enough to let
       it show. How she wished she had someone even looking for her- or
       at least try to take her back like the guard that was still
       flailing around like some tent flap in the wind- trying to gain
       Adan’s attention.
       “but your bodyguard is still waving like a mad man at this
       point.” Eden said  as she shot the man a look. The man froze
       seeing the red head looking rather straight at him to stop and
       freeze. After witnessing such a feat he wasn’t gonna chance his
       own neck to drag the man back over!
       “Kinda weak though since he won’t move- seems whoever
       recommended them to you are the special kind of stupid.” Eden
       observed as she touched her blades. The bodyguard noticed this
       to slowly move back as he inwardly panicked. But what sent him
       off was the sudden step in his direction, that did it. It
       terrified the body guard enough to run deep back the way they
       both came as he didn’t want to die..
       Once the entertainment left- or so thought Eden. She  then
       looked back at him still dumbfounded wondering why this guy was
       going opposite of intended. This kind of behavior was unheard
       of.. unless this man’s life was just that bad.  She went inside
       her head again, as she thought whether or not to give her name.
       Her head tilted right as she finally gave her name.”Eden.”
       Eden then handed Adan his notebook.Eden managed to get back into
       control as she seemed calmer. Though, the way she  held herself
       in such a way to make herself look more intimidating than the
       man in front of her.Her posture was straight and her legs spaced
       enough to try at least. If one looked in- it be comical seeing
       such a small girl acting as tough as she was to the dark haired
       man.
       Eden then used one hand to play with the mask tie that draped
       just around her shoulder as if she was thinking deeper about it.
       Eden couldn’t help but wonder how serious this man was about
       leaving his home.. and being with her. She figured she’d push
       his boundaries a little.. maybe even see how serious he was. It
       meant a total different lifestyle for the man- baths were a
       luxury. Your life was always in danger.. not to mention she
       already knew if the Hawk group found about him, he’d be used to
       bring children into the world then kill him. Well if that leader
       was still in power. She then bit her fingernail in thought.well
       I could do that- .. if he’s truly serious..if not he’d just run
       back home.. she thought.
       Eden walked over and gently found a way to open his shirt
       enough. Her rough fingers lightly grazed his skin.  It felt soft
       and smooth.  She couldn’t get over how soft he felt as thoughts
       of the man in bed came to mind. She wouldn’t have to worry about
       being taken advantage of by him.. and he listened well!
       “Fine.” She said “but before we make such a deal I need you to
       come to my camp and agree to me looking you over.” Eden said and
       said honestly.”I don’t have much food so you’ll be rationed
       until you can hunt for yourself.”   Eden seemed to think more as
       she touched his hands, seeing the calluses- good it meant he
       could fight some.”mm seems you’ve held a sword before.. “ she
       said.”I can’t protect you always so be ready on the way back..
       creatures here have eaten tuning stones for elements and some
       can be downright dangerous if they activate it somehow.” She
       warned.
       “Also if I tell you to stick to a place- do it.. this is
       basically a boundary between two tribes. Ravagers are not kind,
       they will force you to fight and if you’re tough enough will
       want you with them.” Eden recounted from what memories she
       knew., said honestly as she got the man to start moving.”you’d
       be constantly made to fight for your life- one misstep your
       dead- the leader is even worse cause he’d just use your broken
       body for the hunt.” Granted for females it was worse. She
       shuddered a little at the thought.”there is one among them that
       is a bit of an oddball.. most I know about him is his name is
       snow. He often Brings greenhorns around the oasis I live at.
       Well the ones that want to join willingly- most that run tend to
       be reported by the guy cause their chances ran out” She said
       with a thought though she didn’t know how true it was.”well if
       the leader gave you chances.”
       “the other is the pack. They rely more on their mind, and will
       be manipulative. They will use any sweet words to try to sway
       you. Then they’d use you till they feel satisfied and then
       kill.” Eden explained further. “Rules are in certain tribes as
       they follow them.. some are not so bad.. they are rare though.”
       Eden said honestly. She noticed a creature in the distance as
       her stomach growled at her.
       Eden  sighed deeply.”stay close alright?” She said as she took
       her weapon connected the handles and reached to a notch in her
       curved blade. At first glance one would think it was meant to
       create more pain.She reached in her bag to pull out a string to
       a bow and connected it before drawing it back the metal bent a
       bit as she drew back making it tight. She designed the weapon
       herself as she felt it necessary.. She planted her  feet to the
       sand as electricity could be felt in the air. It crackled some
       in sound as it began to form a bolt between her fingers.
       She let out a breath as an arrow of lightning shot out and
       nailed the creature in the head making it convulse and
       drop.”finally!” She said as she walked over. It wasn’t terribly
       big- but big enough for two servings. Eden dumped the thing in
       Adan’s arms.”watch the tail.” She said seriously.”it’s
       poisonous.”  She broke down the bow and sheathed the blades. She
       opened the pack on her side to put back the string. And if one
       caught a glance, would see a book that laid inside.
       They walked through the sands digging some slowing their
       progress- but after some time- they came up to  a little to the
       oasis. Of course Eden saw her home being occupied and went to go
       chase off the interlopers and brought Adan in.
       Once settled Eden got to prepping food and getting it into her
       pot of water - after getting it cleaned up. She got the fire
       started after a bit to put a pot on the fire that had water. It
       wasn’t long till it started boiling as she cut up what they
       could eat, and leaving the guts in a spot away from the tent.
       Her mind still whirring some on what just happened. Eden was
       keeping aware where Adan sat, and made sure her dagger was where
       it was. Eden couldn’t help but  feel nervous but somehow she
       felt he wouldn’t pull something stupid.Once she felt satisfied
       she turned toward Adan as the food simmered.
       “Strip.” Eden ordered on the spot.”in the tent.” She finished as
       she dipped her head a little.
       Her cheeks seemed to twinge briefly before she managed to gain
       her composure. Eden had seen plenty of men naked before but… one
       wouldn’t know her a virgin. Her attitude and giving a flamboyant
       front mostly did work. Some did approach her wanting a little
       fun but she always managed to chase them off. She had a feeling
       most were starting to catch on. She tried a lot of things when
       she felt she was watched, some being a rare bath. Most she
       fooled with were women, granted they never really went below the
       belt though she had.She’d do it in the open and swallowed what
       shy part of her she could to give them a wrong impression. She
       knew if found out, there’s be more than just one ravager coming
       to her oasis. And if the pack knew.. she shook her head and went
       in after Adan did.
       Eden made a breath out as she simply seemed to examine the guy.
       It was more or less to assess how to handle him in the desert
       and asked questions. Such as allergies, what to look out for,
       and of course if there was any illnesses she should know about.
       She knew if he was not even close to perfect health the
       agreement would not even happen. She’d knock him out and dump
       him in his full naked glory on the forest side. Once she get
       satisfied by his answers, she let him dress as she went to taste
       the food and got some leaves to hold the meat. She made sure to
       not get the broth as it was used to drizzle over the meal. She
       wasn’t a bad cook and tried her best to not make the food not be
       so gamey. She gave Adan one with some alcohol she managed to
       steal a few weeks back off a merchant that stumbled in the
       desert. She helped him to get enough to enjoy herself.
       “Now what is it in for me.. money isn’t a thing here. But we
       barter what we have.” Eden said.”skills, sex, alcohol,
       knowledge, even your own freedom- basically almost a slave..”
       she paused to eat and take a long drink.”for women we can offer
       to bare children but that’s a really high price.” Eden said
       honestly.”I’ll take you where ever you want.. but I know I need
       some form of payment or incentive to keep you with me.”  She
       honestly did have something on mind already.. but she wanted to
       see what he’d be really willing to offer to see those ruins.
       While  Eden’s  mask did block her eyes but not how animated she
       would be.  Her body gave away how she was sometimes, especially
       when lost in thought or relaxed. A habit that simply grown on
       her over the years. She was obviously looking him over. Her mind
       on seeing his body like that, and what she really had on her
       mind.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Adan knew Eden was right. He had been stupid. He didn't say
       anything in response to her comment, his eyes lowering just a
       fraction. He did notice her mouth open slightly at his
       suggestion, but he couldn't tell what emotion was behind it.
       With her eyes masked, it was harder to read what she was
       feeling.
       "Let's just say that there my life is planned out to when I'll
       cr.ap," He sighed, not wanting to go into more details. "Ti's
       not the best life to be stuck in,"
       He glanced over at his bodyguard, who was doing as she said.
       "You can go!" He called and then couldn't help but laugh when
       she scared the man off. "Yeah, he's not the sharpest," Adan
       agreed. "I think this might have been his first time out here,"
       The next look she gave him made him wonder if he'd made the
       right decision or not. Sure his life back home wasn't the most
       exciting..but he'd at least be safe tehre. Here..in the desert
       it was likely he might die. Somehow he found that risk
       acceptable. It was far better to experience something exciting
       than to always wonder what might have been.
       "Eden," He echoed testing out the name. It seemed kind of
       interesting how similar their names were even with them being
       from two different cultures.
       Adan accepted the book from her and checked over his last page.
       Thankfully he'd managed to write down the entire inscription
       before danger had showed. He wasn't quite expecting the woman to
       rip his shirt open and stood there stunned as she felt over his
       chest. It was kind of odd how her touch didn't bother him, but
       stirred something inside.
       "I-uh- I can do that," He agreed, wondering just how much Eden
       wanted to inspect. "I  do have some stuff in my pack," He added,
       not wanting her to think that she'd have to provide for him.
       "I've hunted a few times in the jungle, but I may need some
       practice here,"
       His face colored slightly when she checked over his hands,
       mentioning the calluses on his hands. "Yeah, I can fight. If I
       hadn't been so shocked...I might have actually tried to defend
       myself,"
       Adan's eyebrows rose in shock hearing that the desert animals
       had eaten magical stones. He'd heard of them before due to his
       studies, but he'd never thought that they actually existed. It
       seemed that there was going to be a great deal for him to learn,
       which of course excited and thrilled him to no end.
       "That shouldn't be a problem, I'm good at taking orders," He
       said, flushing a bit recalling how he'd frozen when she'd told
       him to not move just a few moments before.
       The more he learned about the people, the more he was grateful
       that Eden had stepped in to save him. She really didn't have to
       do that. It seemed that she was far kinder than most of the
       desert people. He gathered up his abandoned pack and followed
       her as she began to leave the area while still explaining
       everything that he needed to know about the area and the people
       groups.
       They'd not gotten far when he heard her stomach growl and she
       came to a stop and then told him to stay close. "Will do," he
       said simply, his mind going over everything she'd been telling
       him. He watched, rather fascinated as she put together a bow and
       then created an arrow out of pure energy. He was stunned at just
       how powerful and magical Eden was. He'd never thought he'd see
       this sort of thing in his life.
       Adan wasn't expecting her to dump the dead creature she'd killed
       into his arms, and tried not to get squeamish at the sight of
       the strange dead creature. "uh..right," He murmured, shifting it
       so the tail wouldn't touch any part of his body.
       Thankfully they didn't have to go much further to get to her
       tent..which was set up close to an oasis. It wasn't too
       surprising that she had to deal with a lot of interlopers. The
       water source alone would attract them. Though he had the feeling
       that she might also attract some attention from them.
       He settled himself close to her as she worked, going through his
       pack to see what might come in handy, and what he could get rid
       of. There was no point in carrying things that would only weigh
       him down, which really wasn't all that much. The smell of the
       simmering food was starting to make his mouth water. He knew she
       was going to ration him, but he hoped he might at least get a
       taste of what Eden was cooking.
       His head shot up at her order and his face flushed a bright red.
       "Uh..yeah okay." He got up and headed to the tent, trying to not
       imagine what might happen next. He really didn't need to get
       hard right now.
       It didn't take long for him to undress down to nothing and then
       he stood there, trying to not feel awkward. It was a relief that
       Eden was more clinical about how she examined him and merely
       asked questions about his health.
       "Never been sick, or had any broken bones. I've had one female
       partner," he said simply, hoping that wouldn't be taken as too
       little. The other questions were easier thankfully and then he
       was done..and she told him to get redressed.
       He came back out, the smell of the food even better than before.
       "That really smells amazing," He couldn't help but say, his own
       stomach growling. Adan happily accepted the offered food and
       drink and settled down to sit across from her.
       Adan felt his spirit falter at her question. "Uh..well...I'm
       more of an academic than most. I know a lot of languages...I
       could teach you. Other than that, I could offer sex and company.
       I suppose that's not much to offer." He said with a sigh. "I
       don't really think you need me to teach you how to fight..though
       my way of sword fighting might be different than what you've
       learned. I wouldn't mind being your sex mate..if that's what
       entices you the most,"
       ----------------------------
       Unknown to the both of them, Snow was spying from a nearby sand
       dune, using a telescope to watch Eden and the newcomer. "Well
       well..what do we have here? Some sort of pretty boy? He'd be fun
       to play with," The ravager commented to himself, imagining all
       the fun he might have.
       He was quite pleased when Eden had the male strip down in her
       tent. From his angle, he could see straight in and see
       everything. "Oh..definitely fuck.able, ravaging him would be so
       much fun," He murmured and licked his lips.
       Perhaps it was time to make his move. Well..maybe he'd wait a
       day or two, and spy on them for a bit longer. If Eden finally
       got busy with a guy, that was something he wouldn't mind
       watching. He'd long suspected there was a reason why she avoided
       men when it came to sexual encounters..not that he'd ever tell
       anyone else.

       Eden made a soft smile at him complimenting her cooking. She was
       glad she was decent enough to impress a jungle dweller!
       Her eyes gently ran over how he was dressed, she assumed he was
       a noble of some kind. She made a mental note to be aware of
       possible attacks or more that may be coming his way to drag him
       back to a world he didn’t want. She half listened to the man, as
       she heard him mention languages and heard what she wanted to
       hear. She let him finish his food before gently taking away the
       leaf and empty makeshift cup of alcohol and finished hers in one
       tall swig straight from the bottle. Eden licked her lips and got
       a sense of being watched again.
       “Well then.. sex mate it is.. languages a bonus.” She said
       interested.”sparring partner as well, these guys hit hard you
       know and play dirty.. no idea how you’ll fight.” She said as she
       slid on his lap.”so.. I’ll be taking one of my incentives now.”
       She said as she felt a small rise. Good it meant he saw her
       attractive.
       “Your gonna do a big thing for me- but one rule.. I’m not ready
       for a baby.. cum inside, you will get a punishment you’d never
       dream of having.” She said in a tone dipping as her hand pointed
       to her stomach and wagging in his face as it went up.”but you
       can have your fun.. mouth, back door, on me.. you can finish.”
       She said and blushed a bit more at her own raunchy talk. She
       took a breath, finally feeling a bit shy. “Good thing you’ve had
       a woman before..” she said quietly.
       Eden always put a show before, but having one in front of her
       about to give herself to? She gently put her hand on a clasp on
       her choker, the moment it clicked off, the cloth and the leather
       underneath dropped around her revealing her chest. She then
       closed the choker back and gently leaned forward into a soft
       kiss. She was gentle as her mouth worked more, and feeling a
       gentle touch before she felt the grope to make a sharp intake of
       breath. Her mouth deepened as she felt a need grow, knotting, an
       ache as if she wanted.. no.. needed to be filled.
       She broke from the kissing to help him out of his shirt and
       slowly slid down and undid his pants. She tried to mentally
       prepare for it before but seeing the size hard- bigger than she
       thought. She remembered some of what she had observed from the
       hawk women and quietly put her mouth to start moving. It was
       intended to make him easy enough to take as she was slow and
       deliberate.
       She made a small choking sound before raising a bit more to
       continue as her own pants slid off with her gear. Her fingers
       found their way down herself, and began their own work, gently
       and massaging places getting herself worked up as her mouth
       continued. Her arousal was showing as she groaned and moaned at
       her work.
       Once she felt herself ready, and  him slick enough she gently
       positioned herself. She seemed to pause as if taking in the act
       about to be done and gently lowered herself down. Eden felt
       pressure and made a small noise as she pushed past the pain of
       losing herself. As she did that she felt it right to pull her
       mask off letting Adan see her eyes hoping she didn’t look
       scary.She took a few breaths as she sat there, and then began to
       move slowly. It started to feel good as she moved.
       “Try to not come too quick.” She asked as her voice seemed to
       gain volume.
       Her eyes almost matched to clear oasis waters she resided, but
       despite it, seemed to have a dead look about them. But as she
       moved they flickered to a look as if the light was catching just
       right to show its real beauty.
       Her hands drifted over the man’s smooth body, as her mouth
       gently traveled elsewhere making marks, and letting him run his
       own hands over her in places.
       Her mouth crashed on his again as she finally felt herself knot
       up tightly and her head tilted back as bliss crossed her face,
       her body trembling as the waves of pleasure washed over her like
       cool water from an oasis relieving a hot day in the heat.
       “Okay.. f..finish where you want..” she said trembling.”j..just
       not where babies come from.” She said as she let him position
       her however.
       Once things settled down, she laid on the sand to grip her mask
       to bring it to tie it over her eyes. “N..not bad… felt better
       than I thought it be..” she said softly. She’d seen other desert
       women taken for their first time, but not like she did. It was
       fast hard, with no care of their own pleasure only that of the
       desert men. It terrified her to a point of almost never doing
       that, though most women say after they manage to enjoy it.
       Her breathing was rapid as she was trying to compose herself
       when she noticed something odd in the desert looking in on their
       fun. Her hand went to her dagger that laid close by, not caring
       in the least that she was naked. Snaked her hand in her own
       small bag for her eyeglass and peered back.
       Was not hard to figure it out who it was from his hair. “Snow…
       you dirty peeper.” she mumbled as she rolled to shift herself
       up. She fell back a little from her legs feeling like jelly, and
       softly cursed at herself.

       Snow should have left, but for some reason, he had the feeling
       that if he did he might miss something. And boy was he right!
       After the two had eaten, Snow couldn't help but notice how Eden
       licked her lips. The next thing she said, had thrills go up his
       spine.
       Snow had one useful skill..he could read lips. And boy was he
       glad he'd stayed when Eden moved to sit on the other's lap. He
       bit his bottom lip. getting massively turned on as he watched
       the ensuing scene unfold in front of him.
       --------------------
       Adan was quite shocked and relieved when Eden accepted his
       offer. His eyes widened when the woman moved to sit in his lap.
       He could feel his body react immediately to the heat from her.
       Plus..she was pretty, from what he'd seen so far.
       What hot-blooded man wouldn't want to pleasure a woman like
       Eden?
       "Uh..sure," he murmured, shivering at the thought of her wanting
       to use him for her pleasure. It wasn't exactly what he'd
       expected when they'd first met. Usually in the city, it took
       weeks or months before this sort of thing happened with the
       opposite sex.
       "I won't cu.m inside you," He agreed quickly, imagining several
       horrible things she might do to him. Her dirty talk, only made
       him even harder, almost uncomfortably so. "Uh, yeah, okay."
       Her last words, made his eyebrows narrow slightly. Was..was this
       actually her first time? Well, that kind of explained a few
       things.
       His mind stopped wandering when she touched her collar and her
       top disappeared, revealing two gorgeous breasts and their rosy
       tips. "D-damn," He said softly. Then she was leaning in and
       kissing him. He kissed her back, sliding his tongue against hers
       a little bit.
       Adan let out a soft groan as she pulled back and assisted her as
       she undressed him completely. Her reaction to his hard member
       made him bite his bottom lip. Was she reconsidering what she
       wanted? He wondered.
       This thought disappeared when she moved to slide her mouth over
       him, and he let out a gasp. "oh gods," He groaned, his hands
       moving to pull her hair out of the way.
       Eden was already fingering herself, which was even more of a
       turn-on for Adan.  His hands wandered over her body, teasing her
       breasts a bit and over her neck.
       He let out an even louder groan when she lowered herself on his
       member. "Oh god you're so tight," He moaned out, reaching to
       help steady her body so she wouldn't go too fast.
       Adan was amazed when she took off her mask, the sight of her
       unique brilliant cerulean eyes was mesmerizing. "Wow..you're so
       beautiful," Adan breathed out slowly, almost in awe.
       He could have stared at them all night long until she started to
       move over him. "Right." He groaned out, his hands moving to
       clasp her waist. And then she was touching him, running her
       hands all over him, marking him with her fingernails. Not that
       Adan minded in the least bit.
       His hands once more roamed up over hers, squeezing, and teasing
       her in every place he could touch. Adan was starting to feel a
       stirring in his loins when Eden moved to feast on his mouth
       again. He held on, fighting the urge to let go, letting Eden
       take her own pleasure.
       Adan felt her cu.m covering him and let out a groan, his hands
       tightening on her breasts. "yeah..okay," He groaned out.
       Adan then took over, moving her to her back and pulled out of
       her. It wasn't the easiest task, with her pus.sy gripping him so
       tightly. Then he moved to use her juices to loosen her as.s,
       gently at first with his fingers and stretched her out. Then he
       pulled her closer and pushed inside her as.s. It was even
       tighter..and he didn't last but a few thrusts before he was
       filling her with a steady stream of hot cu.m.
       He pulled back with a groan and slumped on the sand next to her,
       feeling more than a little worn out already. "That was pretty
       good for me too," He murmured and reached to brush a hair away
       that had stuck to Eden's cheek. Adan leaned in to kiss her cheek
       and then laid back, catching his own breath.
       Her muttered comment had him turn to shoot a look at her. "Snow?
       Is that a person?"
       -------
       Snow let out a groan, releasing himself and cleaned off the mess
       he'd made. Watching the two below hadn't nearly been enough. He
       couldn't help but chuckle when he realized that Eden knew he was
       there. It was funny that she only realized he was there only
       half the time he actually was. He fixed his pants and gathered
       up his things and left. Soon enough he'd make his introduction
       to Eden and her pretty boy toy. If he was lucky, he might even
       get the chance to do more than talk.

       Eden nodded.”yeah the odd one I spoke of.” She said as she
       noticed him leaving to make a brief scan.”wonderful seemed we
       had an audience.” She said dryly seeing two more already heading
       out. One in particular she dreaded a little.
       “Snow really ain’t a big problem? He’s never attacked me, and
       maybe talked to me.. “ she thought about it.”three times maybe?
       One was actually trying to convince me the first time to
       consider the ravagers. The other two was merely throwing a few
       insults or jokes to see who’d make the other shut up.. so far
       was 2-0. “She said though she wouldn’t openly admit it was Snow
       that won both those times. “But I guess that’s why I feel so
       wary. The pack has their own oddities and I almost fell for one
       that could have landed me into being some breeder for their
       leader. I didn’t want that.” She said quietly.
       Eden didn’t mind Snow talking to her, as solitude was starting
       to get to her. But she surely didn’t want to compromise her own
       morals just to have some people around.
       She finally moved as her mind wandered to Adan’s words and how
       he treated her. She blushed a little.”I’ve never heard such
       sweet words that way.. felt very real.. “ she said and got close
       to Adan’s face.”love is very important in the desert you know..
       and I am already developing a crush” Eden said in a gentle way.
       She brushed some hairs from in front of his face to gently kiss
       him again. This one not as heated but more caring and gentle.
       ” I know we had our fun.. but if you ever feel something for
       another or want fun. I’ll let you.” Said Eden.”if it’s a no I’ll
       make sure they never touch you. All you have to say is that
       you’re my true mate and most the time they back off- only ones
       that don’t really care about things like that are the ravagers,
       and the hawk women.” She said softly.
       She let her hands wander one last time over Adan’s form before
       wrapping her arms around his middle and letting her chest squish
       against his stomach. She rested her head on him to listen to his
       heart. She could tell he was trying to keep calm.”once we rest
       up.. I have a story for you to hear.. well a little about me.. I
       feel it’s necessary so we can better understand each other. And
       you can tell me more beyond what you’ve told me.” Eden said
       gently.
       Eden moved some.”go ahead and clean yourself up and get the
       things in the tent. There’s some soap there on a leaf I made
       today.” she said as she  got up.”I’m going to activate a stone
       for our protection. I use it at night to keep interlopers at
       bay. It works, given the amount of tries I had to do and the
       pain to make it work.” She said with a grimace. She shifted to a
       place no one knew about and made damned sure no one would to
       start digging in a spot. She then went to pull a stone that
       looked about the size of Adan’s hand to walk toward a spot in
       the oasis, by a tree there was a rock that she moved to put the
       stone in and took a breath as she tuned with it. As she did so
       it fed to another spot that seemed to glow softly before a wind
       like barrier started to pick up. It ran over half the water to
       pick it up making it feel a bit cooler in their area.
       Eden looked toward the setting sun and gave a soft breath out.
       She dipped into the waters that remained cleaning off the sand
       and other places. Not too far she had a stone or what looked
       like it, sitting on a leaf to grab it and used it as it lathered
       up some. She bathed on occasion and she needed to today.  Her
       brilliant red hair looked more vivid now it was clean.
       “You can sleep with me.” She murmured softly as she motioned to
       a pile of furs she collected over time as a bed.”I know this
       ain’t the jungle but.. I hope you’ll be comfortable.” She said
       with a soft smile as she got in bed and removed her mask to tie
       it to her arm so she would not lose it. She held her arms out to
       him waiting for him to snuggle or cuddle her. Her eyes gave off
       a soft shine as she waited.

       Adan wasn't sure what to make of someone watching them. In a
       sense, it was a bit creepy, but on the other hand, it kind of
       turned him on. Until Eden mentioned an audience..which meant
       more than one person had seen them.
       "Well maybe next time we should do it in the tent," He
       suggested, thinking that might help limit who saw them. Though
       he probably should have thought of that earlier. Adan had
       thought that being out in the middle of nowhere that there were
       no people around. He'd obviously been wrong.
       He wasn't sure what to make of the Snow fellow, it almost
       sounded like this guy was more than a little interested in Eden.
       He had a sinking feeling that he might be seen as a rival. The
       last thing he wanted was to get between a bloodthirsty ravager
       that wanted a chance with Eden.
       "Maybe he's interested in you. If he hasn't attacked you that
       could be the case," Adan suggested. "Sometimes..from what I've
       seen, men can take their time with women they like,"
       Adan shivered, not at all liking what she had to say about the
       Pack..and what had almost happened to her. "Well, I'm glad that
       didn't happen to you. I probably never would have met you,"
       Then she was moving towards him, blushing a bit as she spoke
       softly, commenting on what he'd told her during their coupling.
       He could hardly fathom no one ever telling her how beautiful she
       was. It was easy to understand that love in the desert could be
       a rare thing..and just why it was so important.
       Adan's face flushed at her touch and he leaned into her kiss. He
       might have been with women before, but never one as sweet or as
       amazing as Eden. Adan let out a soft moan when she pulled back.
       He really could get used to spending more time kissing and being
       with her.
       Her next words were more than a little shocking. "If that does
       happen, I'll talk to you about it first. I won't just do
       something behind your back," He promised.
       Having seen what had happened to the ravager earlier, he was
       aware that she could back up what she was saying easily enough.
       He scratchd his jaw, feeling unease settle over him when she
       mentioned ravagers and hawk women that wouldn't care what she
       might say. "Hopefully we won't run into them anytime soon,"
       Adan let out soft sounds as her hands wandered over his body.
       "That feels so good," He groaned out, happy enough to just be on
       the receiving end of her hands. He was a bit worn out to try
       anything more. He lifted a hand to play with her hair once she'd
       laid her head down on his chest. "Okay, probably a good idea.
       The more we know about each other the better," He agreed,
       wondering just what she migt want or need to know about him.
       Adan could have just rested where he was, but slowly got up when
       Eden moved. It would be better to get cleaned up and redressed.
       "Thanks, I'll do that," He agreed.
       Once he'd completed all those tasks, feeling far better and
       relaxed than he had in a long time he got lost in working on
       translating the runes he'd written down. He glanced up when Eden
       returned from her work and put away his book and followed her
       into the tent. "It looks comfortable enough," He assured her and
       waited until she was settled before moving to join her.
       Though Adan wasn't all that used to cuddling or snuggling, he
       slid into her arms, wrapping his own around her and pulled her
       closer. She fit perfectly he discovered. She was just the right
       size to fit snugly, her head resting on his shoulder.
       "So..you said you wanted to share more. If there's anything you
       want to know about me, you can ask all you want. I'll answer as
       best as I can."
