Ithel
I started the fire while trying to contain the laugh that took over me.
I blew on the fire slowly to get it stronger. I tried to look confident and strong in my movements. My whole body was pitching in to impress the young Allea in my den.
I smiled at the thought; an Allea in my den. It's been a long time since anyone stepped in here. The last few times were actually the Leader of my clan coming to make sure I was doing well. No Aellas, though. I didn't blame them, but still, I wanted to savor every second of this.
I peered beside me to see him again. He was watching me closely, his lower lip pulled between his teeth as he tried to control his shyness. Our eyes met, I grinned and he looked down to escape my gaze.
My heart leapt in my chest and my thoughts shrieked in my head: So CUUUUUUTE!!!
How did he escape my eyes all these years, I wouldn't know. It was so odd to find someone new on our island. And the rare ones who sailed here, are very much known and watched very closely before being trusted.
To actually find an Aella that caught my interest for once, I guess the fates are not cruel after all. And yes, I get it. He's only here because he needed shelter. It didn't change the fact that I was so damn happy with his presence.
I grabbed the hook with the fishes and excused myself for a minute. He simply nodded and hugged himself closer, making my hands tingle with the eagerness to be the ones that hugged him.
I went outside and climbed down a few big round rocks until I reached the sea. I washed the fishes, then pulled out a knife and removed their innards one by one.
Three. I sighed. That's all the food I had in my den. Three damn fishes!
Everyone prepared well for their Agape. For months, every Aello hunted, fished, and gathered herbs and fruits. From food, clothes, precious beads for jewelry, all the way to sailing to the neighboring islands to hunt the best animal skins. It was an Aello's duty and pride to provide the best for the Aella that would accept to be his Agape.
Yet here I was. The leader told me to do my best, yet I ignored him. I wasn't planning to go to the gathering for yet another disappointment. I never suspected the fates would be as merciful and caring as to send me this Aella.
Even if it was for less than a day, I wasn't alone in my den
A beautiful Aella is here with me...
I sighed, remembering the mesmerizing look in his eyes. My, I was so happy and excited that I wanted to jump up and down like a little boy.
I finished preparing the fish quickly and headed back, running. As soon as I saw him, I felt instantly happier. I stuck each fish on a stick and put them around the fire to be cooked. I turned them every so often to avoid burning them. All while glancing at the beautiful Aella who was sitting calmly watching me.
Once the first fish was ready, I stuck the other two slightly away from the flames. Then I walked towards the Aella, and watched with pride as he ranked my body with an appreciating look. I handed him the fish with a smile: "Here. It's not much, I'm sorry I don't have meat to cook you a proper meal"
Before I could promise to provide that the next day, he took the stick and said: "Thank you, actually this is much better than meat"
"How so? Wouldn't prefer a hunted deer instead?"
He shook his head and his curls danced around his face adorably, still a bit heavy with water at the end of them: "Not really. The Aella-hunters usually bring meat. They rarely take the time to fish in the sea. Actually, it's been a while since I ate fresh fish"
"I see"
"B-but I'm grateful for anything, really! I'm already imposing in your home and eating your food"
"Having you for company is so precious to me... I would gladly give all the days of the next year just to spend another evening with you"
He looked baffled by my words. I pushed his hand slightly towards him encouraging him to eat. He silently touched the fish with his tongue to test its temperature, and then he took a bite. As soon as he did, he groaned in appreciation, making me laugh; I guess it has really been a while since he had a fresh meal from the sea.
I watched him eat. He looked a bit uncomfortable at that, but I just couldn't tear my eyes away. I only did do so when he finished. And I went to grab the other two fishes and offered him more.
"N-no, thank you. I'm full. You should eat the remaining two. I'm aware you were counting on all of them as your dinner. I already took enough"
"I insist. I like watching you eat what I caught"
He opened his luscious lips to answer me, but closed them again. I pushed another fish towards him and he smiled shyly: "I-I'll have more... but we will share this one and you eat the other"
I grinned at the compromise: "Sounds good"
Sharing...... sounds very good
I gulped mine quickly. I was indeed a bit hungry, but I was mostly eager to the sharing part. To tease him a bit, I leaned in slightly and opened my mouth like a hungry bird. He chuckled and put the fish between my teeth so I could take a bite. He offered to hand me the rest of it, but I refused. Then I opened my mouth again and he laughed while feeding me more.
It was a heavenly evening to just have him here beside me, laughing and sharing...
"If you're still hungry, I could go get you more food"
"No, thank you... May I please have some water?"
"Of course! At least water I have a lot of" I paced towards a covered barrel and brought him a bowl of fresh water. He drank to his heart's content. I pushed the bowl aside and sat beside him, closer this time. I reached to wipe a drop of water lingering at the corner of his mouth. He held his breath and shivered when my finger trailed on his chest, making an inviting wet path from his neck to his covered chest.
He pulled back slightly and his hands clutched more on his cover. I looked in his eyes, searching for any signs of fear. He was gazing at me cautiously, but to my relief, he was certainly not afraid of me. I knew because as soon as I smiled at him, he mirrored it shyly.
This is it. In my lonely existence, for once my heart was feeling warm. This is the memory that will keep me going, the feeling of liking and longing
Something in my head screamed for me to touch him more, to keep him close. My heart felt so desperate as I remembered that this dream will fade when the sun will rise again. My smile became a bit sad at the thought. And I reached to feel his soft hair on my fingers
"You are beautiful, Aella... You are truly are"
An alluring color tainted his cheeks and he looked down to avoid my wanting eyes.
"Th... thank you... Y-you too, Aello... you... are-"
Before I could stop myself, I was leaning forward and claiming his lips with mine. I watched closely as his eyebrows elevated in surprise and he closed his eyes. He didn't push me away, so I moved my lips slightly against his, still fearing a rejection.
I pulled his lower lip between my teeth and licked it. I immediately felt the heat awaken a specific part of my body that twitched when the Aella moaned deliciously.
My arms reached around his waist to pull him closer while still kissing him. But no matter how close he was, I craved more. So we ended up with him sitting between my legs, his left shoulder brushing against my bare chest, and he hummed tiny moans against my hungry lips.
When he pushed me back, our lips parted with a painful tug in my heart. He looked so dazzling; breathless with dazed eyes.
Once again, I feared I was somehow forcing him or taking advantage of his situation. But all my doubts faded when he reached to touch his own mouth. Then his tongue hesitantly licked his lower lip as to taste the lingering sweetness again.
And that did it for me
I leaned closer again to look him the eye. His look trailed down slowly only to settle on my lips making me grin. I licked his lips tempting him to open them. He understood my silent request and his pink lips opened to welcome mine. The kiss became more heated by the second making us both moan and enjoy the sweet shivers that traveled our bodies.
When he was breathless again, I let my lips trails down to his neck. As soon as I nipped his sweet flesh, he gasped and tried to push me. But the man in me couldn't let him go so easily. I had to insist by kissing his neck and sucking on it gently. To ease any possible worries, my hands pulled him closer in my arms and continued to caress his waist.
A moment later, when his hand rested on my head, I realized that I was already licking his lean chest and pushing the cover with my nose for more access. My lips sucked the sweet bud that was his nipple, the Aella shivered and moaned, and then he pushed me away. I pecked his lips to gain his attention back, and when he leaned in to capture my lips, I was smirking and moving my hands even more on his body through the cover.
My fingers helped the cover to slide down from his right shoulder, going slowly south and revealing more and more of his fair and perfect skin. I kissed his bare shoulder, and my head span when I felt him mirror my gesture and kiss my shoulder hesitantly.
I smiled at his heated cheeks, while my hand dipped south. He refused to let go of the cover completely, so I had to go over it until my hand was covering the budge between his legs.
He looked confused at the situation, so I gave my hand more pressure, making him jolt and shudder. I silently wondered if he was displeased with any of this, but the hardening member under my palm suggested otherwise. He still looked quite confused, so I grabbed his hand and led him to touch me through the piece of deerskin that hung around my waist
"Don't fear me, Aella... I am the same as you"
His breath halted. Then he twitched his fingers, bringing more friction against my stiffness and I hissed.
He pulled his hand instantly: "S... Sorry!"
I chuckled and caught his escaping fingers, only to bring them to touch me again: "Don't be, it's been so long that I felt any eagerness to be with someone. Actually...... I think it's a first for me... You are so precious, Aella." I groped him and continued: "I want to feel every bit of you"
With that, my hand pressed on him more and I started to feel him grow more in my grasp.
"W-w-wait, I feel... strange"
"Is it good strange or bad strange?"
He bit his lower lip and answered: "G-good... so good"
I was strangely very proud to have such a mesmerizing man trembling and moaning in my arms. For some reason, I wanted to let him know how amazing he looked. So I whispered words of praise in his ear and it seemed to arouse him even more. I kissed his neck and sucked on his ear, making him pant. My palm encouraged his passion that was now twitching under my fingers. I pressed his hand on my own member harder and kept inciting his moans to fill my den.
We were both panting hard and his hand made me feel infinite pleasure whenever it twitched or moved against me. He looked back to kiss me passionately. His kiss morphed into a scream of pleasure when his body convulsed to make him release his sweet milk. Whilst his trembling, his innocent hand grabbed me in the process, sending me to my own violent release.
We both panted, feeling the shared euphoria. My hand refused to part from his now lazy member. So kept it tucked between his legs.
The Aella looked back at me while still evening his breaths: "That...... that was so..."
"heavenly" I finished, before taking his lips between mine.
I laid on the animal skins and hugged him close to me. He was lying on his back, cheeks flushed and sunny curls resting on my biceps. My relentless hand kept sneaking to cup him every time he moved it away with a deep blush. I chuckled and kissed the alluring color. When our lips parted, he said the most endearing thing looking adorably shy:
"You are amazing, Aello. So handsome and kind... May I know your name?"
"My name is Ithel, beautiful Aella"
"It's Ceri"
"Ceri" I whispered, his name feeling so sweet on my tongue.
My tongue that I dipped in his mouth again, wishing this bewitching evening would never end.
