He gave her a nod and faced back to the other warrior.
Soon they were off, and Claira tried to keep herself calm by looking around at the beautiful forest around her. The beauty of the forest appealed to her and smoothed out her anxiety about facing a castle full of giants.
Soon enough night started to fall, and Kaeldar called it a day, deciding it was time to set up camp and settle down for the night. Quickly, men dismounted and tents popped up, as campfires were lit.
One had to be amazed by the efficiency of a giant soldier. They seemed to be determined and extremely organized. No wonder the human armies were having so much trouble resisting them.
“Stay by the horse, while I set up the tent, Claira.”
Once he walked away, she murmured to herself, “Stay put, Claira. Don’t move, Claira. Can’t save the people, Claira.” She glared at his back, as he worked. She might be acting like a child, but she wasn’t exactly happy with him.
Once he was done, he guided her over to one of the fires where they sat on the ground with several other rock giants. They all seemed to be having one jolly good time, talking, laughing, and hitting each other on the backs.
It was amazing for her to see all these different sides of the rock giant personalities’. They acted like any human soldier would. They weren’t just mindless beasts killing things, like humans thought.
As the food was passed around the campfire, all she could think about was the upcoming night in the fur tent with Kaeldar.
Anticipation pumped through her, as she recalled the previous night they spent together. She wanted to have another such night with him, but she also couldn’t believe herself.
Could he really do nothing for those villagers? It would haunt her that there was nothing she could do.
Her cheeks flushed, as Kaeldar interrupted her thoughts to hand her some dried meat. She knew he couldn't read her mind, but she still worried he would somehow know what she’d been thinking about.
Her blood heated, as she accepted a piece of dried meat from Kaeldar, and her hand brushed against his. She was more than ready to go to the tent with Kaeldar for the rest of the night.
She was able to feel the area between her thighs start to heat and the wetness spread. How was she to remain angry with Kaeldar when her body reacted this way to his presence?
Even though her body was frustrating her, she understood where it was coming from. Kaeldar was different than any man she’d been with before. He might be a rock giant warrior, but he also treated her right.
Romance had never worked out for her, and although she and Kaeldar had problems standing in their way she was hoping there might be a way. She wasn’t willing to admit defeat quite yet.
Or maybe she should admit defeat before she broke her heart. Claira could feel her heart attaching to him, but she had no idea of his feelings. She could end up being made a fool.
There was still the possibility he wouldn’t keep her around for too much longer. It wouldn’t be the first time she’d been used by a man, and then thrown aside.
Kaeldar couldn't stop himself from turning and looking over at Claira. She had some sort of aura surrounding her, and it kept drawing him closer.
The firelight danced across her face, casting light into her jade eyes, as she gazed at the bright flames licking around the logs in the campfire. When she turned her head, the firelight would set her hair into a deep tone of strawberry blonde strands. He found the sight mesmerizing.
He knew he should stay around the campfire longer with the men, but at the same time he wanted to just whisk Claira away to his tent. Then they would be able to do some more exploring of each other’s intimate pleasures.
She nibbled on the dried meat he’d given her, and he knew she was thinking the same as he was.
He was able to see it within her sea green eyes. Those lovely eyes of hers displayed her emotions so beautifully, and when she turned the full force of those jade depths on him, his heart stuttered. If she wanted, she would be able to get him to do anything, and no matter how hard he tried he would be helpless against it.
It would be best she not learn the depth of his feelings for her, for now, he would keep his thoughts to himself.
Eventually, the torture was too much for him to bear. He had to have her. He was going insane just watching her in front of the fire light without being able to touch her. That way her lips went around the dried meat before ripping off a piece. He kept thinking about her soft lips wrapped around his cock.
Kaeldar turned to his men and excused himself. It was time to bring Claira back to his tent. He had some devilish plans for them to fulfill.
Turning back to Claira he stood and offered her his hand.
Claira was pleasantly surprised, when he decided to call quits on sitting by the campfire. She was more than ready to head back to the fur tent with him.
Her silly stomach gave a skittish flip, as she thought about what might come in the next few hours. Even though Kaeldar was teaching her what lovemaking could be like, she wished she could resist him.
Slipping her small hand into his large one she allowed him to help her up from where she’d been sitting cross-legged on the ground. As she rose, she forgot about the rock giants surrounding them. Her attention was focused solely on Kaeldar.
