Page 4 of Swipe Right for Orcs
Osric- So, looking for a monster rebound. I’m looking for something more than that, but for you, I could bend my rules.
Me- Not looking for a rebound per se. Just sick of trash bag men. I’ve dated quite a few humans and the ad for this app popped up while I was watching a movie. So I figured why the hell not?
Osric- What were you watching? Hopefully not Orcs! with Adam Johnson. Shittiest movie ever made and not scary at all.
I’ve never heardof that movie, but I don’t want to seem like a moron, so I quickly open my browser and search for it. Itdebuted in two thousand eleven and doesn’t have very good reviews online. But I’ve never seen it.
Me- Never heard of or seen it. I hope you don’t look like that “orc” on the cover. Or you, my friend, are a catfish.
Osric- No fishing here. It’s hard enough to find a match being a monster, but then add in the green and it’s an orc-eat-orc world out there.
Me- Ha! You got jokes.
We spendthe next few hours messaging back and forth, and I find myself smiling nonstop at my phone. Osric is funny, smart, and super curious about everything there is to know about me. I’ve never had anyone ask such innocent questions, like what my favorite number is or what pet I would own if I could choose any.
It’s refreshing—more than I expected. I can’t help but think that maybe, just maybe, creating this profile wasn’t such a bad idea after all. When Mitas messages me in the app after we match, I don’t even bother to look. I’m too wrapped up in the charming orc who has somehow managed to captivate me in just a few short hours.
CHAPTER THREE
OSRIC
This human woman is breathtaking, entirely unlike anyone I’ve ever seen. Her hair is an odd color of light pinkish-purple and she has these icy gray eyes. My cock throbs in my sweatpants as we chat back and forth on the app.
Her name, Fairlie, is as unusual as she is. For a human woman, it’s an odd name, but it suits her somehow. She’s funny, honest, and kind. A part of me knows it's just her nature, but perhaps all the wine she mentioned drinking has lowered a barrier she usually keeps up. It’s intoxicating. I want to know more. No, Ineedto know more. I crave to uncover every detail, every thought that crosses her mind.
Whoever this person is, the one who broke her heart tonight, he’s a fool. How could anyone let go of a woman like this? If I had someone like Fairlie, I’d never let her out of my sight. She’d be mine in every way. I see her beneath me, my body covering hers, my cock buried deep inside her, a constant reminder of how much she is desired, how much she is needed. The thought alone makes me groan, heat pooling low in my belly.
But then reality sets in. I’m an orc, one of the last of my kind after we were hunted to near extinction by humans who feared us. We were seen as a danger. I may be a trained warrior and look like one, but I’m gentle until provoked.
I just want to find my woman, someone who sees beyond what I am. I want to settle down, to build a life, to fulfill the duty etched into my very bones—continuing my bloodline, ensuring that orcs don’t fade into nothingness. But that dream feels just as distant as the ones I chase in my sleep.
I think Fairlie could be my woman.
I need to meet her in person, though, to see if we hit it off as well as we have on the app. But she needs to sober up first. I want her to be clear-headed when we meet.
My heart beats faster as I type out my next message, my hands trembling slightly. This is it. I have to put myself out there if I want to find a mate, if I want to have offspring.
Me- Would you happen to be free tomorrow night for dinner and drinks?
There’s a moment of silence—justa moment, but it feels like an eternity—before her reply comes in.
Fairlie- Yes.
Relief surges through me.I quickly type out the details, knowing exactly where I want to take her.
Me- Meet me at The Drunken Goose at 7pm.
They havethe best burgers in town, and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. It’s a popular spot, always busy but never overwhelming. Fairlie will feel safe there, and safety is important when meeting a stranger—especially when it’s an orc like me.
Her next message comes through, and it’s all I can do to not grin.
Fairlie- It’s a date. Winky face emoji
My heart skips a beat,reading those words. I rub my cock through my sweatpants, groaning at the pleasure that ripples through me. The thought of seeing her in person, of hearing her voice, is almost too much.
Me- Get some rest. I’ll talk to you in the morning.
Fairlie- smiley face with hearts emoji
