601 Building Worries

**WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC SEXUAL CONTENT**

Skye stared into the earnest eyes of her husband as she spoke; “So if ya saw a child dying on the side of the road, would ya leave her there if I told ya to?”

“Why would you?” Tidas asked incredulously as they stopped in front of their door.

“That’s not-it’s a hypothetical!” Skye snipped; “Would ya do it?”

“Of course not. It’s a child, for crying out loud,” Tidas replied gruffly.

A small, soft smile stretched across her face; “Then yer not as heartless as yer tryin’ ta play off, husband.. I could list off a ton of situations where you’d help someone with not a thing ta gain from it fer yer self. Yer a good man, my love, and an excellent example of a human being.”

Tidas felt his cheeks flush uncomfortably, prompting a slightly surly reply; “You say that like I haven’t any faults when in reality, my faults are the worst kinds..”

Skye huffed, becoming exasperated with his bleak attitude; “Aye Tidas, ya be a jealous, overprotective, cocky, battle-lovin’, slightly misogynistic-”

“By the gods, I get your point!” Tidas yelled, obviously offended.

.....

After forcing down a chuckle, she added; “But you never kill fer personal gain or pleasure. You also listen to those around ya, and can change yer opinion when given facts. You’re considerate of others, and give more of yourself than you realize..”

As they reached their door and opened it, Skye continued; “Even when I lose hope, you’re there: keepin’ me from losing me self. You’ve given years of yer life for the betterment of our home and people. Even if ya claim it was fer selfish motives, the actions are what matter.”

Tidas wordlessly opened the door, went in after his wife, then closed the door behind them. Once he turned back to face her, Skye’s smile widened as she finished speaking..

“Ye can act the villain all ya like, but we both have seen true monsters,” Skye walked over to her husband, and cupped his cheek; “And we Both ken that yer Nothing like them. So out yer head, Love..”

*Tidas wrapped his arms around her, and buried his face in her neck as he said; “How did this go from me cheering you up, to you doing it for me?”

Skye grinned against his shoulder as she replied; “You take care of me, I take care of you-we rotate. That’s what partners do..”

“And lovers?” Tidas whispered as he started to kiss her neck.

Skye practically purred as she said; “Mmm, aye.. Definitely that, too..”

Tidas ran one hand up his wife’s side, and the other up her back as he inhaled her scent. Her cherry blossom and citrus perfume mixed with her skin sent a wave of heated need throughout his body. As his hand met the top of her back, he reached up, and pulled on the ribbon she’d used to keep her hair back.

It had grown to just past her shoulders again, and covered Tidas’ face as he kissed his way up to her ear. A fresh wave of her scent hit his senses, and sent his mind and body reeling. Feeling his coherent thoughts slipping away, Tidas whispered into his wife’s ear; “My place will always right here, with you..”

Sentiment welled up in Skye’s heart as Tidas pulled away from her ear, and took her parted lips in an all-consuming kiss. Her breath, her heart; it was all given and taken in earnest. Their hands roamed over each other as if it were the last time they would ever touch.

A soft moan escaped Skye’s lips as her husband’s seeking hands found her breasts. The noise was like a match tossed onto a bonfire, and Tidas found himself ripping his wife’s clothes from her body. It was unsettling that his hands had started before his mind had acknowledged the action, but his wife was tearing them off along with him.

Once her’s were gone, Skye immediately reached out, and tore her husband’s shirt nearly down the middle. As soon as his chest was exposed, her hands began to eagerly roam as he ripped and pulled the rest off. As articles were removed and skin revealed, she moved from part to part until she’d reached his most sensitive one.

A deep, throaty groan echoed within the room as Tidas felt a warm hand wrap around his throbbing member. His legs shook as she stroked and teased him, causing goosebumps to bloom across his skin. Seeing his reaction only spurred Skye on, and she was soon on her knees.

As she went to take him into her mouth, Tidas entwined his fingers into her hair. When her head began to move, she could feel his grip tighten, and hear his breathing becoming more ragged with every bob of her head. When she felt him grow and harden, she’d slow her pace, and switch to stimulating his sack for a few moments.

It was heaven and hell entwined to Tidas as his wife kept him teetering on the edge. After several minutes of her glorious torture, he felt the last of his restraint fade when he looked down at her. The scene was too much for him to bare as he realized that she had started to rub herself while giving him pleasure.

Tidas was well aware that Skye took pleasure in seeing him experiencing it, and she knew that he felt the same way. They felt exactly the same about each other, and the assurance he gained from that fact made him adore, and want her all the more. Unable to wait any longer, Tidas pulled away from Skye, and picked her up from under her arms.

As soon as she could, Skye wrapped her legs around his waist, and buried her husband’s manhood deep inside. Tidas groaned as he felt her moist warmth tightening around him. The sensation had been so strong that he’d nearly dropped her.

As he regained his control, Tidas looked into his wife’s eyes as he walked towards their bed. Through gritted teeth, he smirked and whispered; “Good thing we don’t have any plans tomorrow, because you’re not sleeping tonight..”

“I’ll hold ya to that, husband,” Skye replied in a breathless voice.

He lightly shook his head in the negative; “I want to hear my name, Skye.. Only my name.. All night..”

Skye smirked back; “Aye, I think I can manage that..”

As he stood in front of their bed, he said; “Then say it..”

Leaning in closer to his ear so her breath would touch it, Skye whispered breathily; “Give me a reason..”

Without another word; Tidas got onto his knees, and simultaneously set Skye down on her back while slamming into her. She moaned as she dug her nails into his back, but she did not say his name. Leaning back, he rammed into her several times, whispering to her as he went.

“Who do you love the most?”

“Tidas..”

“Who spoils you the most?”

“Tidas..”

“Who makes you writhe with pleasure?”

“Tidas..”

“Who loves you most?!”

As his speed and thrusts matched the intensity of his eyes, Skye’s world imploded, and she cried out his name. Tidas felt her body shuddering beneath his, and it nearly finished him, but he hadn’t had his fill of his wife yet.

Once he felt like he could move without finishing, Tidas had Skye scoot up so they could stretch their legs out on the bed. After they had situated themselves, Tidas started raining kisses all over Skye’s shoulders and collarbone until her breathing had evened out. Once he was sure that she had recovered, he started to slowly move on her again.

Skye wrap her arms and legs around his body, and moved her hips in time with his. They would kiss, then part to look into each other’s eyes for a few moments before devouring each other again. Over and over for and uncounted amount of time, until the build was too great for Tidas to handle.

As his thrusts grew more passionate, so did his eyes. It got to the point where Skye had to look away, but Tidas would just draw her back in with his lips. With tongue and teeth, her searched every corner of her mouth in between mutterings tender words.

By the time they’d reached their peak together, Skye felt as though Tidas had seen and touched the very depths of her soul. And he loved, and accepted every inch of her.

It was a kind of unconditional love that was unlike anything she’d ever experienced, even from her parents and Peggy. In that moment, Skye felt as though neither time, nor space could ever break their bond.

As they laid in bed holding each other, Skye felt a comfortable darkness tugging at her eyes. Tidas tried to talk with her, but it was obvious that she was falling asleep, so he began to hum her to the rest of the way into a deep slumber. The feeling of gentle vibrations coming from his chest was the last thing Skye thought before succumbing to the beckoning darkness.

Tidas watched her peaceful expression for a few moments before slowly wiggling his way out from underneath of his unconscious wife. He walked across the room, and sat at the table for a few minutes before getting up, and pacing the room. He hadn’t wanted to alarm Skye before, considering what she’d just been through, but he’d heard some disturbing news while waiting for the meeting to start..

Several senators had been gathered together in a corner talking about various things when one began to complain about the new check points at Alcon’s boarders. Only merchants and nobles were being allowed inside of the kingdom, which set off a dozen red flags within Tidas’ head.

There had only been a handful of times throughout history where Alcon had sealed it’s boarders, and they all involved war of some kind.. ‘Has the Sync kingdom attacked? Did Marco screw up the treaty with the Highlanders? Or worse: has something happened to my Father?’

The thought had instantly made Tidas’ stomach knot and sink. He’d had a terrible feeling since shortly after they’d left for Sai, but he’d written it off as being homesick. It had been several years since he’d been home for an extended period of time, which made him doubt his gut.. But that was before.

Tidas had found it odd that he hadn’t received a single scroll or message from home since they’d arrived. But he’d shoved it to the back of his mind until now. He’d been so focused on getting home that Tidas hadn’t even realized the lack of communication from them.

‘Even Marco should’ve sent a message by now requesting a progress report of sorts, but nothing. Not even from Shasta or Zas.. I don’t like this..’n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Glancing over at his beautiful sleeping wife, Tidas sighed deeply before getting up, and climbing back into bed. Skye had barely moved as he wrapped his body around her, and tried to push his thoughts away. After kissing her temple, Tidas laid his head down, and tried to fall back asleep.

Wondering what was happening at home as the darkness took him...
