The North (Closed)

[heartofcourage]

Fiona was subdued, shell shocked as Sam took charge and got her back home with Schaller. She felt empty inside as he got her into their tent and tucked away, her entire world tilted upside down by the news that she had learned. There wasn't much time to wallow in her own pity, but Sam was busy scurrying around to make sure that she had the time to do such.

"You don't have to baby me." She muttered softly as he came back with dinner for them both of them, offering her a plate. "I'll be alright."

 

[KieranSoares]

"I'm takin' care of my wife," Sam insisted softly, leaning over to kiss her forehead. "Jus' like she's taken care o' me on my worst days."

Settling on a stool across from her, Sam had his own plate in hand. "Nothing's happening for now. We're jus' preparing. So there's no rush on you. Ezra, Costa, an' Danica have things handled for now."

 

[heartofcourage]

Fiona sat there in silence while Sam ate, staring down at her plate before she picked at her food. She hated that others were shouldering her burden, but it seemed that she didn't have a say in the matter. Sam had gotten them to take on additional duties and that was it.

"What if Da says that all of this is nonsense?" Fiona said softly. "That we're all wrong."

 

[KieranSoares]

Sam paused, looking over at her with concern. "What d'you mean, love? If it's all true... I don' think Owen would deny it. No' the Owen we know now."

 

[heartofcourage]

“This is the kind of plan that they would put together to destabilize things.” Fiona muttered. “To make us doubt everything that we’ve worked so hard for. Find someone who looks like me and use the information they had to knock me out of the fight.”

 

[KieranSoares]

"They're not gonna take you out of this one," Sam promised her firmly. "No matter what happens. An' if you need breaks, need time away here an' there, you can take it. This clan an' all our friends are here t'support you."

 

[heartofcourage]

Fiona simply shook her head at Sam's promise that she could have her time away if she needed it. She knew that she didn't have the luxury. No one had the luxury. She didn't say anything as she pushed herself away from the meal and laid down on the cot, turning her back to him and seeking to shut the world out.

 

[KieranSoares]

Sam finished his meal in relative silence, but he didn't leave without draping a light blanket over Fiona and whispering a soft "I love you." With that, Sam headed back out to give her space, but made sure she was well defended. Schaller would be nearby keeping a silent vigil as well.

Across camp, while Kell was busy elsewhere, Qira was at Kate's side that evening as both guardian and source of comfort. With Rissa and Bo staying behind to help Shani build her strength back up and Kell constantly fielding reports, Qira had resumed his normal duties with Alex's approval. And that also meant he could be the protector and lover the Queen and her Lord Protector and advisor needed again. That was how Kate found herself in Qira's arms as they stood in the center of her tent. He'd caught her pacing with anxiety, and stopped her with a long, warm kiss to distract her.

As their lips parted, he nuzzled against her fiery hair and hugged her a little tighter. "You're overthinking," he murmured in his native tongue. "It seems all of the Northern leaders are tonight."

 

[heartofcourage]

Kate was dizzy as Qira caught her in his arms and kissed her intensely. She had been pacing and thinking about their path forward, about the future that was about to be. It was enough to bring a grow. Man to their knees, let alone a pint sized former queen of Scotland. Qira didn’t seem to think anything about it as he stopped her pacing and kissed her until she stopped thinking all together.

“You are the dirtiest fighter that I know.” Kate growled as Qira nuzzled against her curls. “I should make Kell give you a taste of your own medicine but we all know he’s weak when it comes to you.”

 

[KieranSoares]

"We all know our Wolf likes to be taken care of when it comes to me," Qira chuckled softly. Even if Kell liked to resist and annoy Qira in personal quarters, he melted for the great Panther the moment Qira exerted any control. "And so do you, eldere," he murmured against Kate's ear. "Leave these troubling thoughts behind and let me make sure you sleep well. You need it."

She could feel his broad hands smoothing down her lower back, pressing her in closer as an insistent but gentle invitation. Qira gave her ear the softest nip, kissing down her neck and practically curling around her.

 

[heartofcourage]

"Qira, there is work to be done." Kate insisted as his hand smoothed over her back, pulling her in close.

She let out a gasp as he nipped at her ear and then kissed her throat, letting her know that she wasn't going to win this argument. She tilted her head backward to give him better access to her throat as she felt his fingers working the loops of her belt until it was left on the floor. Kate let out a cry as she was picked up like she weighed nothing, deposited on her cot.

 

[KieranSoares]

As soon as Kate was laid back, Qira's deft fingers slipped her trousers and underwear away, leaving her in just her tunic with her legs suddenly draped over her Panther's shoulders. Stoic focused golden eyes met hers as one hand caressed her thigh and the other pushed her tunic up to her belly. His fingers slowly split her folds as he murmured, "I've missed this. All three of you. But I haven't had you to myself in a long while." With that, he leaned in and she felt his rough tongue follow his fingers, content to pleasure her thoroughly before even thinking of his own needs.

 

[heartofcourage]

Her belly quivered as he pushed her tunic further up her body, making sure that she was truly exposed for him. No one ever made her feel the way that Qira did. Kell had an air about him that melted her, but Qira was dangerous. He was a dangerous predator that could very well end her life if he wished, but he often used that power for pleasure. Kate let out a gasp at the first rough lick of his tongue against her most intimate flesh.

"Qira, eldere...I have...things...to attend...oh gods." She cried out, all thoughts lost as his fingers and tongue worked together to shut her up.

She squirmed, struggling to get away from him to escape the distraction of the moment and the intense pleasure. She was going to absolutely embarrass herself by waking the entire camp if he kept up what he was doing.

 

[KieranSoares]

Qira couldn't help a little smile to himself as she squirmed, delighted and aroused in the moment and also by the memories of times he'd made his three loves struggle to keep quiet when they hid away for a romp in the middle of the day. He decided to offer her a little help, looming over her and seizing her lips in a demanding kiss as his fingers sunk into her body, curling into that sensitive spot in a practiced, steady rhythm while his other hand braced against the cot beneath them. She could feel him hard as stone against her thigh, letting her know that he was only just getting started.

 

[heartofcourage]

Kate whimpered as he captured her lips to silence her, dampening the sounds that she made as he sent her into space with his fingers. Her hips bucked against his hand, her body slick as he played her like a well-tuned instrument. Kate cried out in pleasure as she came, her hand reaching for his wrist to still his fingers as her body shook violently beneath him. Her green eyes were wild in the candlelight of the tent as she panted.

"You bastard." She muttered, kissing him roughly once more.

 

[KieranSoares]

Qira's rumbling chuckle was like dark honey, glad to see he'd drawn out the fierce Queen he so loved. "You may best me with a blade, my dear fiery Queen... but I know your body better than any weapon." Qira rarely boasted, but knowing his lovers' needs even as they changed over the years was something he was quite proud of.

Qira's hips settled into the cradle of her own, his trousers still buttoned as he tossed aside the last of her clothing. Still fully clothed himself, he smirked lightly down at Kate knowing that he had the upper hand and she was annoyed by it. "Come now, eldere... you won't let yourself be overpowered so easily, will you?" He practically purred, fingers tracing over her breasts and belly and thighs.

 

[heartofcourage]

"You haven't given me much of a choice." Kate growled as Qira seemed so calm about everything, tracing his fingers over her breasts and belly. "You barged into my private tent, you took me to bed, and now you're just teasing me. If Kell weren't as overworked and stressed as I was, I would think he put you up to this just to irritate me."

When Kate was in a mood, often times they would all work together to put her in a better one. She had found herself at the center of their attentions more than she could remember.

 

[KieranSoares]

"Maybe he did," Qira murmured with a dark smirk. "But I took care of him first before he went back to work." Pulling off his shirt and unbuttoning his trousers, she felt his thick length brush her thigh. "And maybe I'll have to go hunt him down again to make sure he sleeps well. Or... he can help me wear you out if you're too stubborn."

Qira sank slowly into her body til he was buried to the hilt, filling her completely. His hands anchored her to the cot as he rocked his strong hips and his powerful back flexed. Letting out a quiet, pleasured sigh, he gave her a little smile that was equal parts cheeky as absolutely, hopelessly in love.

 

[heartofcourage]

"You did not..." Kate muttered as Qira gave her that dark grin that told her that he most certainly had been with Kell before he had come to find her.

Kate let out a gasp as Qira slowly sank into her body, his cock stretching her in a way that Kell didn't. He was large, much larger than her husband, and often it took a moment for her to adjust. Her hands went to his sides to hold him for a moment before he started to rock against her, his hips meeting hers with powerful thrusts. She planted her feet on the cot and found her own rhythm to meet him, whimpering in pleasure as he smiled down at her.

"He...listens, you know." Kate whispered, her cheeks instantly growing a dark shade of pink as she admitted that Kell often listened in when she and Qira had their private moments together. As much as she was stubborn and in control in her public life, in private talk of sex would often have her glowing red in an instant.

 

[KieranSoares]

"Oh, I know," Qira chuckled with a soft sigh of pleasure. "Just like you do whenever I have Rissa." She saw his eyes drift off to the side then. "Speak of the devil..." While she hadn't heard a thing, Qira knew their Wolf was there. Despite everything going on around them, Kell had been far too enticed by their Panther and their Queen to stay away.

Knowing he was caught, Kell slipped under the tent wall into the dim lantern light within. Even in the gloom, Kate could see he was aroused as his golden eyes took in the sight of his Queen and his Spymaster tangled together. Qira slowed, entirely unabashed to let Kell see him buried to the hilt between Kate's thighs. And with a commanding presence that Qira knew turned Kell on almost as much as the sight of his love flushed, naked, and aroused, Qira growled darkly, "If you aren't undressed and over here in five seconds, Wolf, I'll throw you back out of this tent."

Kell didn't argue, suddenly feeling so much younger and more energetic as he threw aside his cloak and gear and shirt. He was unfastening his belt as he stepped over and Qira scooped Kate up. Soon she was pressed between the two men who adored her most, Qira's fingers digging into Kell's mane to pull him into a rough kiss before letting him turn his attention to Kate.

"Evening, love," Kell whispered with a smirk before he kissed her like his life depended on it. It was incredibly rare for Kate to get both men to herself at the same time. They were rough on each other, their love aggressive and all about power dynamics. But with Kate, they were much sweeter and liked to take their time unless she asked for a wilder ride. And as she felt Qira kissing down her neck and shoulders, his solid cock still insistent and impatient, it seemed her boys were feeling a little more energetic and ready to bring her along.

 

[heartofcourage]

"Khelt, I'm more than angry with you..." She muttered as he kissed her deeply, held between the two men as Qira kissed along her neck and shoulders and her husband pressed against her back.

Qira was still buried to the hilt as she sat in his lap, Kell growing hard against her back as two sets of hands seemed to take their time with her skin. Kate was burning up between the two of them, staring Qira in the eyes as Kell nipped and kissed at the nape of her neck.

"That time with Rissa...when she had you both together..." Kate whispered, her cheeks growing even hotter as the barely uttered the words. "Christ, I can't say it...when she had one in the bottom and one like this...I'd like to try that."

 

[KieranSoares]

"In my trunk," Qira muttered to Kell, his eyes casting toward the solitary piece of luggage Qira brought when far from home. Kell slipped away briefly, and Kate instantly recognized the jar he withdrew from the case. When he opened it, the heavy, herbal and earthy scent made even her nose tingle in response. To her Panther and her Wolf, it was much stronger. While the three of them were perhaps a bit too reserved to talk about such things with other people, Rissa was much more forward and so was Jani, the mastermind behind the herbal lotion. Every so often, Rissa would secure a fresh jar from their mutual friend, and tuck it into a hidden spot among their personal items and clothing mostly for Kell and Qira, but certainly for her and Kate's benefit on occasion too.

As Kell stepped up with the jar, Qira drew Kate up against his chest, pulling from her body. He distracted her with a deep growl and a fiery kiss, moaning softly against her lips as Kell stepped in and spread the lotion over both their lengths together. Kate was soon being pressed back down onto Qira's cock. Qira stood, and once he was buried between her thighs again, she felt Kell slowly, carefully pushed in from behind. Knowing she'd only tried it a couple times and never with the two men at once, Kell followed her pace and stayed gentle even if he was excited to show her the game he and Qira liked to play with Rissa.

Held up in Qira's arms between the two, Kate was entirely supported on both sides but also at their mercy as they trailed kisses over her shoulders and neck and face. Just like in their daily lives as her protectors, they sought to meet her every need and take care of her.

 

[heartofcourage]

Kate had no idea how powerful her fumbling words were until she saw Qira's golden eyes go flat. He was suddenly on a hunt as he told Kell to fetch something from his trunk and she turned her head to watch Kell retrieve the mysterious jar that Rissa always swore by. She had watched the three of them in awe, working together towards mutual pleasure, but always too shy and reserved to ask for the same treatment. There had never been any complaints on her part, but that night, she knew what she wanted.

There was complete trust in her gaze as Qira distracted her with a deep kiss, a fierce growl issuing from his chest as Kell prepared the both of them. Qira slipped back into her body easily, her thighs supported by his hands as she gripped his hips. Her arms tightened around his neck as she felt Kell slowly pressing into her from behind. A small whimper left her throat as they both sought to distract her with kisses to her sensitive skin.

"Slow..." She whispered as Kell pressed forward and his hands swept over her flesh. "Oh Gods."

She was covered in sweat already, her heart hammering in her chest as her husband finally seated himself as she was well and truly impaled on both men. Kate let her head fall back against Kell's shoulder, her neck exposed for both of them.

"Give me...a moment..." She whimpered in a heated tone, almost embarrassed that she was about to lose herself. "And don't you dare act so smug..."

 

[KieranSoares]

"Relax, eldere," Qira encouraged her softly as Kell grinned, only for the Wolf's ears to pin back slightly in embarrassment as Qira added with a smirk, "let Khelt show you what I do to him that leaves him practically boneless on the floor."

"I know your secrets too, cat," Kell growled lustfully. Kate felt his hips begin to shift slowly as she gathered herself, and Qira took up the same pace. Kate was a petite woman and having both of them at the same time was nearly too much. When they were both fully seated in her body at once, she was filled in a way she could never have imagined before.

 

[heartofcourage]

Kate let out a heated moan, nuzzling against her husband's neck as both men started to slowly move in tandem. She clenched her eyes shut tightly as one thrust and the other retreated only to have the motion repeated over and over again. She heard Qira growl darkly and she shivered, crying out as his head lowered to her breasts and she smoothed her fingers through his soft fur to welcome him. Kate moved her other hand to loop around Kell's neck, holding on as she heard his own dark growl, the same appreciation coming from him that Qira had.

"Khelt..." She whined softly, taking his hand and placing his fingers against her clit for added stimulation.

While Kate was the most reserved lover of the four, she was the most vocal. They all teased her of the fact, but it was hard to keep quiet when they were doing such wicked things. As her fingers and Kell's fingers touched her so intimately, she yelped and bucked against them both, gasping with the knowledge that she wasn't going to last much longer.
