was no way she could do the things that Shimani, Sari and Moto could.

"It's a shame that it's getting so late and you two have to be going," Moto announced after the silence dragged on for too long.

It felt to Kaily like Moto became uncomfortable with the silence. She didn't mind the silence so much. She was happy to have the company. Moto was not. Sari stood and prompted Shimani to stand as well. He was not happy about being tossed out. Kaily glanced at Moto and suppressed a smile from the look on his face.

Kaily stood and accepted a hug from Sari. "Patience," Sari whispered in her ear and smiled at her. Sari glanced at Moto and then back to Kaily. Sari inclined her head.

Kaily returned Sari's smile and inclined her head as well. "Thank you for explaining things to me." She couldn't begin to describe the weight that had been lifted off of her when it became clear that Moto and Sari were not bonded as Sari called it. That didn't mean there wasn't a long road ahead of her and Moto. Kaily glanced in his direction as he said his good-byes to Shimani. He remained unfazed by Moto's mood change. Kaily thought she could learn a thing or two from Shimani in that regard.

Moto walked Sari and Shimani to the cave entrance and secured the covering once they left. He turned to face her and paused.

Kaily smiled at him. "It's been a day." She said. She remained where she stood.

Moto smiled. "Yes, it has." He slowly made his way to her.

Kaily got the distinct impression that he was reluctant to approach her or he was stalking her; she held her hands behind her back and waited. When he finally came to stand in front of her, she placed her hands on his chest. "I'm sorry, Moto. I didn't understand what you were trying to tell me earlier."

He enfolded her in his arms. "No, I should be the one to apologize. I should have explained it to you before the ceremony took place. It might have been easier to understand if you knew the explanation before witnessing the ceremony. My apologizes, little one," he inclined his head towards her.

"We need to do something about this communication gap between us." She allowed her forehead to rest against Moto's chest. She could hear his heart beating.

"Agreed," he kissed the top of her head. "You do look beautiful in the pants."

She laughed, "But you prefer a dress?"

"Yes." He said.

"I see." She lifted her head. "Guess you'll just have to get used to not getting everything you want."

He stared down at her. "I can see I have let you spend too much time in Sari's presence."

"Let?"

He shrugged.

"So, did Sari actually know what you did in retaliation when I smacked you?"

He looked away.

"You're blushing," she accused. "She does, doesn't she? How is that?"

He moved to turn away.

She grabbed onto his vest with both her fists and shook her head. "You owe me an explanation." She squeaked when Moto swung her up into his arms and carried her to the pallets. He carefully laid her down with her back against the pallet and reclined on his side right up next to her. He pushed her hair back from her face. His eyes locked with hers as he slid her pants off, and his body slid the length of her.

"I owe you some attention." He said.

Her pulse jumped and her breath caught.

He reached for the jar.

"Ah," she gave a nervous laugh, and her cheeks heated as a blush crept into them.

"Not what you had in mind?" He asked.

She opened her legs when his hand traveled up the inside of her thigh. Her eyes were locked with his as his mouth followed his hand's path. His tongue flicked her along her center.

"Tell me if this hurts you."

She swallowed hard. Her eyes drifted shut as his lips latched onto her hardening nub of flesh and he sucked it into the warmth of his mouth.

"Look at me, Kaily."

She forced her eyes open and her gaze locked with his. He opened the jar and scooped out some of the contents. He spread her thighs wide apart. He broke their eye contact when he looked down to insert his slave covered fingers inside her. She arched her back at his touch. His eyes locked again with hers.

"Does it hurt?"

She shook her head.

He smirked. "Liar." He bent his head and sucked the tip of her opening into his mouth and rubbed the salve on the spot that needed healing.

She tried not to wince. It still hurt, but his mouth ignited a fire insider her that began to rage. She figured it was a ploy to take her mind off the pain he caused by applying the salve. His finger replaced his mouth after he finished with the salve. He stretched his full length beside her, half covering her. Her eyes didn't leave his until the last possible moment just before his mouth covered hers. His kiss intensified the fire burning inside her. His fingers rubbed against her heated flesh faster and faster, driving her ever higher. He ended the kiss and again locked his gaze with hers.

"Give yourself to me, Kaily."

She arched into his touch. She tried to obey and let herself go; to just feel the moment they shared, without thought or any other part of her brain interfering, to simply let her heart lead her.

"That's it," he said. He trailed kisses along her jaw line, down her neck, and back to her mouth. His mouth covered hers when she orgasmed. He took her cries of pleasure inside him. After, he cleaned her with the cloth he left between her legs, as she floated back to awareness. He lay on his back and pulled her so that she reclined on him for the most part. "Thank you, my little one."

She rested her chin on her hand on his chest and smiled at him. A tear slipped out of the corner
