Completed Hunger (Tallis Ishtari)

[Marxander]

4th Day of Summer, 513 AV

Marx was dried off by now and happily munching on some chewy meat. It was still a bit raw, but she like it like that. A brown bag was in her arms, filled with meat, fish, and fruit. She made sure to keep her face clean this time though as the juicy liquids of the meat tried to spill down her chin, she would lap it up. She hadn't wanted to bring any attention to herself, so after collecting her cash from the bartender at the Spot, she went to the food market, keeping her money close to her chest in case there might be other theives in Ravok besides Tallis, which she was sure there was. She went around for an hour or so, talking to the merchants of what this food was like, or that.

She was sure she felt a few people bump into her, trying to catch her coin, but she knew what they were doing and sent them off with a quick glare. She actually didn't know her way home from where she was. She knew that if she found the docks she could, but she was still wary of taking the same path twice. She figured if she walked around the city for a while, she'd recognize something and find her way back some other way.

Looking into the sky, she noted that the sun was nearly falling out, yet not yet turning the sky a deep orange. Taking another bite of her meat, she licked her fingers clean of the it's spicy drippings. She didn't want to ask for directions, mostly because she didn't know the address and didn't want anyone to know where she was going, if indeed someone was following her. But also because Tallis would worry if she didn't arrive home till dark.

She had put Tallis in the back of her mind since she had started her job, and now, with it done, she wondered if she had missed some sort of important sense from him. He hadn't been able to practice, and with so much distance between them, he might not have been able to reach her. It made her feel guilty and whimper. Well, wherever and whatever he was doing, he felt ok for now. She'd be able to tell if he was hurt, no matter how far.

She took out another piece of meat, chomping on it as she mulled. Suddenly pausing, she looked around on the bridge she was on. She remembered being here! She had come this way the other night. She knew the apartment must be some distance in the direction in front of her. She'd just go down a few different streets and she'd be there. With a spring in her step, the young Dhole went down a different way, heading home.

Little to her notice, a man, drunk and beary eyed spotted her skipping down the brigde. He had a bandage on his hand from where she had bitten him last night. There was no way that he was just gonna let her get away from him now. He'd have his Kelvic. He took a shorter path, cutting through alleyways to get ahead of her. At his side, a collar and a leach. Seeing her had quickly sobered him up.

She was walking along, humming to herself. She saw the man in the alley, not recognizing him, she only stepped a little away, but it wasn't enough. Using the leach, he roped her right in right next to him. She yelped, dropping her bag, a few fruits spilling out. His hand gripped her chin, lifting it up to both shut her up and expose her neck. The metal collar snapped tight around her neck. He let her go, holding the leach "There's my little bitch."

Her heart raced. She tried to shift, but the collar nearly choked her as she did. But she'd die before she'd let his man have her. She dropped to her hands, and like a mule, her back legs popped up and kicked him in the nose. He tried to block her with his hands, but her barefeet repeatedly kicked over and over in the chest, stomach, shoulder, face, ear, anywhere she could reach at this angle.

People looked over at them, but kept walking. It was too obvious that she was a Kelvic slave trying to get free to them. They didn't care.

He grabbed one of her ankles, nearly suspending her from the ground. She curled her body up and bit the hand holding her. Marx tried not to look at his face to remind herself that he was human. He let go, dropping her to the ground. She grabbed the collar and tugged it right off of him. She rolled away, taking a last minute thought to grab her bag and she sprinted home. He just couldn't ever catch up. She was gone before he could even get moving.

In the apartment, she climbed the stairs two and three at a time. She looked like a mess now, dirty, blood on her feet, hair messed up, and now a collar around her neck with a leach dangling from it. She knocked on the door.

[Tallis Ishtari]

It was a long day and all he could think about was what his bondmate had said about him not wearing himself out. He failed. What had happened in the temple had him longing to lie next to her in bed and have her in his arms. The majority of what happened was gone from his memory and only time might restore to his thoughts what had happened.

From what he could recall from the point in time he separated from Marx was not good. He was forced to run for his life from someone he was certain would try to kill him should he wander close enough. Then his failed attempt to thieve from a tourist at the temple left him feeling worthless. Not one tourist, several tourists he failed to take anything from. That was not the end of his sorrows. Something happened to him when he ventured further inside the temple.

Stopping in the middle of the bridge he looked out onto the water, to reflect and remember. The water was starting to look glassy from how the sunlight reflected off of it, and the slow ripples that ran across it calmed his nerves. Some of what happened was coming back to him. He remembered. The oddly warm feeling that had come over him that was making him dizzy with inertia to point where he was almost down on his knees. With his eyes squinting as if it would help him force more of his memory into recalling, he remembered a shadow down the hall. That’s where it ended.

Not being able to recall anything else he made his way down the lonely walkway. With the walkway being devoid of people it made his progress quick. As he neared his apartment building he was getting the sense that something was wrong. “Marx!” He said in a panic but only soft enough for himself to hear. Running into the building through the back door he tore up the staircase. There she was standing in front of their apartment door.

Panic and concern were only heightened by the collar around her neck and the leash. “Marxander! I’m here!” He said shouting down the hall as he raced toward her. Somehow the slavers had almost had her in their grasp. How? They had… he had been so careful. Gone were the thoughts of his horrible day. His life was now enrapt with the young woman in front of him. She looked like a mess. There had to have been a scuffle before she had managed to escape.

When Tallis reached her he immediately took her into his arms. “Are you alright? I’m sorry I’m late. I should have been there for you.” He separated partly from her to look into her warm eyes. The look on his face was apparent as started to scan her for any other injuries.

[Marxander]

She wan't hurt, the blood on her feet was from the slaver's nose breaking and spilling his blood onto her. There were tears in her eyes as she looked up at him. She tugged on the leach and it made a decisive jiggling noise as she did, one that broke her heart. She was collared "Tallis..." She tried to explain but her voice broke in her throat. She whimpered, tucking into his chest. She gripped onto his shirt, one hand clenched and still holding the bag of food "They- They got me. Please, please. Take it off. Take it off. Take it off." She repeated over and over again, breaking down crying into his shirt.

The collar jiggled happily as she did. She hated it. She hated that she was caught, even if it was just for a few moments. A man managed to snap a collar on her neck and now she was marked as a slave. She couldn't be a slave. She was a Kelvic. She was meant to be free. She was ashamed "Please just get it off." The collar rang in her ears. "Get it off."

[Tallis Ishtari]

It broke his heart to hear he plead the way she was. It was only made worse seeing her in the collar. When his parents had slaves when he was younger they were never collared, but they also were not Kelvic. He stood back to examine the catch mechanism on the collar. It was more sophisticated that some of the ones he had seen in the past. It did not belong on her beautiful neck and with nimble fingers he popped the catch that was made so that the person wearing it could not undo it.

The collar clanged to the floor. “There… it’s off.” He felt a watering in his eyes. They were tearing. It hurt to see the pain on her face. “Go inside while I dispose of this wretched thing.” Tallis opened the door to their apartment to let her in and quickly scooped the collar and leash up. Swiftly walking over to one of the windows in the hall he tossed down into the canal and quickly turned to join Marx. He would do his best to make the night the way it was meant to be when they had parted earlier.

[Marxander]

Even having it on for those few minutes was too long. Relief flooded her when it was off. Her senses were so heighten, she could here the chains of her pain drop into the canal with a plop. Her bag dropped on the ground and her hands and body found him.

It was nearly a desperate thing as her lips ravished his. She pushed his door closed loudly, it slammed on it's hinges. Her fingers dug into his back, pulling him altogether closer. She pushed him back until his knees hit the his bed and he was forced to sit down on it. She straddled his hips, lips rehooking themselves to his, barely wanting to breath. Her nails raked through his hair, tangling in the dark hair. Her hips moved downward into his, rubbing herself into him. All around her was Tallis and all she needed was Tallis.

Her lips were a plump red when she did have to pull back and breath. Her cheeks flushed pink up to the tips of her ears. Her long hair spilled over on his shoulder. But perhaps what was most captivating was her ember blue eyes were dilated to the size of quarters, like something deep in her had opened up. He had set her free. He was her loving bondmate and she would solidify this bond. She kissed him, biting and suckling and nipping at his lips, unable to stop herself. She felt so safe with him and she didn't want to let go.

[Tallis Ishtari]

The flood of emotion that was flooding through him was enormous. He accepted everything that she came with. Willingly he backed into the bed and sat. His eyes were filling with tremendous love for her. He was not sure what exactly he had done by removing the collar from her neck, but its effect was noteworthy.

Passion in her kisses moved him further and further into losing control. His hands moved to the small of her back slowly caressing and pulling her into him. He kissed her full lips, her cheeks, her neck. Moving back slightly he gave a tug on her shirt loosening it some from her pants. His hands were free now to touch her skin with his hands. They moved up her sides smoothly feeling every inch of her soft delicate skin. A fire in his groin was getting difficult to ignore. He wanted her, every inch of her. He wanted to feel the warm of skin on skin with her, to totally surrender his seed to her.

[Marxander]

She found the edges of her shirt and pulled it completely off, her breasts bouncing free. She curved her body into his, letting his hands and mouth control her. Her hand reached down as well, pulling out his shirt and removing it from his body. Her hands found his shoulders and chest and stomach all too inviting to her touch. All of him was so hot, so smooth and so beautiful to feel. Her nails scraped him up, leaving pink lines on his skin. She pushed him onto his back so that she had room to lick the scratches with her hot, pink tongue. She sucked on the skin, teeth biting and nipping lovingly.

She lean up, kissing him "Take me Tallis." She rubbed herself directly onto his groin, rolling herself into him. Marx's body was warm, radiating heat. Her pulse raced, rubbing her whole body along his.

[Tallis Ishtari]

His eyes glazed over as her scent filled his nostrils with the heat of passion as they were soon without clothing and pressed together with nothing but skin on skin. The more Marx moved against his body it created a deeper animal magnetism between them. He was unaware if there was the same feeling inside her as well. Her every touch and kiss was electrifying to his senses which screamed at him to take her.

A humorous yet exotic dance began as he tried to remove his pants and hers! Somehow between the kisses and touching he accomplished the feat and the remaining clothing was on the floor. Sensuously he pushed Marx down onto the bed so now he was on top of her. He kissed her chest and teased each nipple before inserting himself into her. The entering of her opened a new door inside him that released emotions for her that may not have been possible if it had not been for the circumstances that had led up to the moment.

[Marxander]

A loud moan was drawn out from her as his member pushed itself deep inside her warm body. She bit back the pain of her first time and wrapped her legs around him, pulling him impossibly deeper. It was all hot heat and Tallis with his skin covering her and rubbing against her as he moved inside her. Her blunt nail dug into his back, pulling him and his delicious weight ontop of her.

There began a crying of his name with each stroke inside her that washed away any lingering pain from him breaking her "Tallis..Tallis...Tallis!" Her tongue curled the name in her mouth like a prayer to a god she never knew. She brought her hips up to his as much as she could, rutting into him and whimpering in all the good pleasure of it. each and every movement was driving her into something. Something that held the beast in her. And it clicked. Passion. It drove her out of her senses, made everything blurry and so clear at the same time. It was with a last call of his name that she came undone. Her toes curled, legs pulled him hilt deep inside, and her walls clamped around the throbbing piece of Tallis that was making love to her so well.

[Tallis Ishtari]

He pushed inside her time and again letting her feel every inch of him. And each time he was either kissing her rubbing his cheek against hers as he nibbled on her ear lobe with his soft lips. His breath got short the fast he went to bring her to her full. Her every small move she made brought further pleasure to him and urged him further on to not stop. The soft moans and whimpers were sweet erotic music to his ears. Then when she said his name drove him to a point of hearing ecstasy.

Never before had he felt like this and never before had his sense been filled to the point of overflow. He whispered her name in a breath, “Marxander…” before cover her mouth with his in a long lingering kiss as he thrust deeply into her up to the hilt of his member. He stopped only long enough to collect his breath. His member pulsed inside her as his nearing his climax.
