Enamra

Thayde

Enamra wrapped the towel around herself as she stepped out of the
bathing tub, enjoying the scents of the water as it lingered on her
skin. The light, nutty floral scent wasn't overpowering, but seemed
just perfect for her. She glanced at the covered plate on the table,
then the timepiece on counter. Hopefully, he'd be home before his
meal grew too cold.

She slipped into their room, tucking the towel's folds around herself
as she opened the wardrobe to find a nightdress. She yawned, rubbed
her eyes, and picked out a white one, turning to lay it on the bed.

"You look perfect as you are." A voice from the doorway said. Thayde
stood with his shoulder braced against the door frame, his arms
crossed over his chest.

She jumped, grabbing the towel at her chest and spun. "Thayde!" She
exhaled and then relaxed. "I didn't hear you come in." Enamra looked
down and then back up, blushing brightly as she tucked a lock of damp
hair behind her ear. "Well, I uh...I was just about to get dressed for
bed. I was going to wait up for you."

Thayde was tired, it had been a long day, but the sight of his wife
gave him a fresh wave of energy. His eyes traveled slowly, boldly from
her face, down her torso, past the apex of her thighs to the tips of
her toes. "You seem plenty dressed to me."

She recognized that look in his eyes and her cheeks grew warmer. "In a
towel?" That suddenly brought a giggle as she turned to pick up her
night gown. "I think you need to go eat your dinner before it gets
cold." As she bent, she may have allowed the towel to ride up her
thighs, just a little. He had commented once that he liked her legs.

"You're right." Thayde agreed having crossed the room to stand just
behind Enamra. "I wouldn't want you to get cold," he said in her ear,
his fingers tickling the back of her exposed thigh.

Enamra squeaked, nearly jumping out of the towel. "I meant your plate
on the table!" Giggling and playfully swatting his hand, she slid
away. "Behave. That tickles. " She then looked over her shoulder at
him and stuck out her tongue.

"Oh, it tickles, does it?" Thayde stooped, wrapped his arms around
Enamra and tossed her over his shoulder, allowing him free access to
the backs of her thighs, which were now deliciously close to his face.
He mercilessly tickled his fingers over the backs of her thighs as he
toted her to the bed.

"Thayde!" Enamra gasped and began to squirm, kicking her heels even
as she began to laugh. She'd never ever been thrown over.a shoulder
and with her hair brushing the floor, she couldn't do much except
playfully struggle. Giggling wildly, she did the only thing she could
think of. She swatted his rear end and then grabbed it with both
hands. "I'll spank you, I swear!"

Thayde whirled her from his shoulder onto her back on the bed, an
incredulous grin tugging at his lips. "Did you just say _you_ would
spank _me_?"

"OOF!" She flopped back, her towel now completely in a disarray and
falling open to reveal flushed, smooth skin and curves. She half-sat
up on her elbows, half of her face obscured by a fall of dark hair.
"Well, it was all I could reach!" She gave a playful sniff and tossed
her hair back from her face. "So there."

The loosened towel was a happy accident. Thayde looked down and rubbed
his hands together. "Ah, dinner is served."

She giggled again, drew up her legs and rolled to the other side of
the bed, completely naked. "It's on the table!" A wide grin made mirth
sparkle in her eyes, enjoying the play. "You have to eat at the table,
Thadye."

Thayde threw his hands in the air with a fake gasp. "You're right! I
wouldn't want to get anything on the sheets." Stretching over the bed,
Thayde hooked a hand around Enamra's bicep, pulled her across the bed,
and swung her up into his arms. Striding into the living area, he
swept aside the dishes on the table and deposited Enamra there
instead. "_Now_ dinner is served."

Her jaw dropped in surprise as she was hauled into his arms, carried,
and listened to the dinner plate clatter to the floor. She lifted
herself a little, staring at him, but kept laughter in her eyes, not
quite believing what he'd just done. "Thayde...we can't...not on the
table... we eat here." In the kitchen of all places? They'd only
ever...in the bedroom.

"It's our table, we can do whatever we want." Thayde pressed his lips
to her throat, drawing the silky skin there into his mouth and
suckling it lightly.

Enamra caught her breath with a soft gasp, eyes fluttering closed.
She _loved_ it when he did that... A shiver went down her spine as she
wrapped her arms around his shoulders and tilted her head back to give
him better access. Suddenly, the fact that they were on the table was
intriguing more than shocking.

"Tasty," he murmured against her skin, his hands running up her bare
sides, fingers tracing the ladder of her ribcage.

"Ah..." Her back arched against his touch and she tangled her fingers
in his hair, pulling his mouth away from her neck to find his lips
with her own. "Off." Murmuring against his mouth, she tugged at his
shirt, trying to pull it over his head

"Changed your mind, have you?" Thayde chuckled as he broke away from
her for a moment to unbutton his shirt and toss it aside.

Taking the opportunity to slide her hands over his chest, Enamra
scooted just a little more to the edge of the table. "Uh huh." Tilting
her head back, she looked him in the eye, her voice soft. "I love
touching you, Thayde. And I love it when you touch me. "

Her admission humbled him because he remembered a time, not so long
ago she had been terrified of the thought of intimacy with him. Thayde
remembered how she had been on their wedding night.... "I want to try
something tonight," he said, bracing his hands on her knees.

She grinned, nuzzling his neck and kissed along his shoulder. They
were soft open-mouthed kisses, much like he gave her. "I've liked
everything you've showed me. "

"Remember that," he said as he lifted her off the table and set her on
her feet. Cupping her face between his hands, Thayde kissed her
passionately, thoroughly before turning her about and wrapping his
arms around her from behind. His lips found her neck once again as his
hands slid up her torso to cup her breasts....

**Fade**

...Thayde slumped over her on the table, breathing heavily as he laid his
forehead against her back. Despite the quivering of his muscles, he
wrapped his arms around Enamra, swept his arms under the back of her
knees, and carried her to their bed.

She lay limply in his arms, but when he laid her on the bed, her eyes
opened. Still breathing hard, and feeling a bit sore, she opened her
arms for him. "Thayde..."

He joined her in the bed, pulling her into his arms and pressing his
lips to her forehead. "I love you."

"I love you too." She sighed softly, burrowing closer. That had
been...intense was the only word she could use to describe it. And she
had liked it. A lot. She'd felt so unrestrained, but also a little bit
at his mercy too. At first, she'd been afraid, but then, the ecstasy of
it had overwhelmed her. "Was it...was it supposed to be like that?"

"What do you mean?" he asked, stroking his fingers along her arm.

She blushed. "It didn't hurt at all like I thought it would. But, it
was different. It felt different and..." Clearing her throat, she
traced little circles on his chest. "It was kind of wild. Like a
strong sort of wild. Almost like you couldn't control yourself and I
couldn't either."

A smile played at Thayde's lips. "Did you like it like that? A little wild?"

Embarrassment colored her cheeks and she stared fixedly at his chest
with a breathy little laugh. "Yeah...kinda. Maybe...maybe a lot. I
felt..." She couldn't describe really how she felt about it and
struggled to find the right word. When she found it, she giggled and
whispered it. "...sexy. Like someone who could drive a man crazy or
something." Like she'd heard the other drudges talk about, but never
imagined herself doing or being.

"Well, that is what you do to me, Enamra. Drive me crazy," he chuckled
nuzzling his nose into her hair.

"No, I don't." She giggled again, finally looking up at him. Despite
her denial, a coy little smile played around her lips. "Really? I do?
Like you can't help yourself?"

"Of course you do, that's why I can't keep my hands off of you."
Thayde trailed his fingers down over her hip.

The coy little smile grew as she felt a sudden flush of confidence at
his words. She liked the idea that she had that effect on him. Pushing
her hair from her face, Enamra couldn't help but preen a little at the
thought. "So...if I walked around naked, you'd have a hard time
controlling yourself? Or..." She bit her lower lip at a thought,
breaking out in a grin as she laid her chin on his chest "..if I
teased you or something, it would drive you crazy?"

"That's right," he said as he twisted a strand of her hair around his
finger. "See? You really have all of the power in this relationship. I
would do anything for you."

"But you're the husband," She pointed out softly. "Don't I have to do
what you say?" Her fingers tickled over his chest.

"Yes, but you can influence what I say pretty easily."

"Hmm..." Enamra considered that for a moment. Was it true? She'd never
really asked him for anything or to do anything. "Uhm...what if I was
to ask you for something? Like...a new brush set with a mirror?" It
wasn't much, but she did need a new one. The one she had was given to
her on her arrival.

"Of course. Those are necessities, you don't have to ask me before you
get those. Is there something you want that's just for fun?" he asked.

Enamra blinked in surprise. She had assumed that she'd have to ask
Thayde for new things that she needed. But his next question had her
stumped. What did she really do for fun besides swim? She frowned in
thought. What did she want? "Fun like what?"

Thayde thought about it. "I don't know. Maybe like... a feline or a
canine, a runner, a firelizard egg, a trip somewhere?"

"A runner? I wouldn't know what to do with one of those! They're huge.
Besides, I get kinda nervous around them." The mention of a firelizard
egg made her eyes soften. It would be like having a dragon of her own
and she remembered H'riv's dragon with real fondness. Maybe she could
teach it to do things, like dig clams. And she could feel that soft
hide under her skin just thinking about it.

But then she paused, thinking of her three siblings. She spent as much
time with them as possible, but as wards of the Hall, they only had
the necessities that their foster mother gave them. Why should she
have a firelizard when they'd lost so much? "Could we maybe take a
trip but bring Roblyna, Mornem and Embly? They've never been anywhere
and they've lost so much. My Papa, he wasn't a really happy man and we
could never do much of anything. I'd really like to do something for
them. See them really have fun."

"We can do that," Thayde said. "You know there are larger family
quarters that we could move into if you ever wanted to have them live
with us."

Her eyes widened and her head jerked upwards to look at Thayde with a
mixture of hope and wonder. "You'd do that? Let them live with us? So
we could be a family? You wouldn't mind?"

Thayde looked down into her eyes. "They are your family, Enamra, of
course I wouldn't mind. I mean, we couldn't have sex on the table
anymore," he flashed his teeth in a cheeky smile.

"Thayde!" She wrapped her arms around his neck, covering his face with
kisses. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She pressed kisses again
and again against his mouth, her eyes shining. She hadn't realized
until he'd made the offer how much she'd missed having her siblings
with her and the chance to live with them again, even with the
responsibility, was one she couldn't miss. "You're wonderful! I love
you so so so much!"

A small part of Thayde, perhaps a large part, would really miss the
exclusive privacy that he and Enamra had enjoyed, but seeing her happy
was worth it. "See? I told you that you hold all the power."

"You. Are. Wonderful!" She punctuated each word with a kiss. "And. I.
Love. You." She buried her face in his neck, hugging him tightly, her
entire body wrapping around him. When she pulled her face away, it was
shining with a wide, bright smile that lit up her entire face. "What
do you want me to do? I'll do anything you want!" She wiggled against
him, eyes still bright.

"You don't have to do anything in return. They're your family, I love
you and therefore, I love them." Inviting his young inlaws to live
with them as something that Thayde had thought of before but they had
still been acclimating to being a married couple at the time.

She hugged Thayde again, burying her face in his neck. "Thank you, Thayde."
