Golden Eyed Enigma

Almost on queue their little one started crying. Erissa’s ears perked as she stood. “Wash up, love. I’m going to be feeding her in the living room when you are done.” the elf smiled and walked away, finally allowing happiness to wash over her.

She nodded, listening to the little cries of her baby girl as she washed her sore skin clean, scrubbing the dirt from the road from her skin and her hair before emerging from the tub in just a towel.

“But first you need to wash up and then let me look at your wounds. After that you need to spend time with our daughter while I prepare dinner.” She insisted before giving Fera’s nipple a playful pinch and sitting back in her chair.

Fera let out a laugh and a squeak, gently covering her chest and swatting her love. “I can’t think of spending any of my time any better than that.”

Erissa fought back a smile, at least until the end of her conditions. “My last condition is you have to…be on top and do all the work tonight.” She grinned as her hand slipped into the water and trailed down to her breasts where she teased her lover.

Fera bit back a smile, laughing a bit and placing her hand over Erissa’s where it rested on her chest. “Deal.”

Erissa lost her composure when Fera said she still loved her. She wanted to say it back. Every fiber of of her being wanted to say it, but she couldnt…not yet. “If that is true..why did you leave without telling me? I would have respected your choice to go and handle it yourself. Or I could have went with you. I thought we were over!” She was flustered now but tried to calm down, she didn’t want to be that person anymore.

“While you were…away, we-were you with anyone else?” Her eyes were tearing again. “This is hard enough, Fera but I need to know.” She rubbed her eyes and breathed softly for a moment to regain herself.

Erissa moved her hands down to Fera’s hips, gripping them gently, enjoying the feeling again. “After your bath I am going to use my oils on you. It will help with pain and healing. Don’t even think about protesting.” She basically ordered as she let go to go get more water, but not before giving Fera’s bottom a light pinch as she walked by, already feeling like things were improving, but all that feeling did was bring more worry.

Fera merely nodded with a slight smile, climbing into the tub and sinking into the water with a laugh, “Hey!”

Erissa took her hand and walked with her their bathroom. “I did get a larger tub.” Erissa admitted. “my legs never really fit.” She laughed awkwardly, getting used to having Fera to talk to again.

Fera laughed lightly, clasping her hand snugly in her own. “I remember you complaining about not being able to soak properly. I’m glad you got one for yourself.”

“Maybe we can both use it, just later.” She said hopefully, letting go of Fera’s hand to fetch hot water for her. “Just put your clothes in the corner.” She said over her shoulder.

She nodded in agreement, smiling and doing as she was told. Fera slowly stripped her armor away, exposing her bruised and scarred skin.

Erissa looked over her shoulder again, falling to temptation to look upon her lover’s bare skin again but what she saw greatly worried her. “Fera!” She called out as she grabbed a bucket of water and brought it back. “You..you look like you were in a war.” She poured the bucket in the tub before putting a hand on Fera’s side, running her fingers over her bruised skin.

She jumped at the shout of her name, grimacing ever so slightly before looking at the Altmer she loved so much. “I know,” Fera placated, wincing a bit at the touches, “They were much worse before.”

Erissa almost whimpered at the kiss. “More.” She said as she pulled Fera close, kissing her passionately, trying to make up for the many missed kisses they had over the last 2 years. “I’m going to come in there with you, is that okay?” she breathed after finally breaking the kiss. “We can talk a little.”

Fera nodded when they parted, cheeks flushed and lips parted almost in shock. She looked up at her, swallowing, “Yes, I’d like that… I’ve missed talking to you.”

Erissa took her hand and walked with her their bathroom. “I did get a larger tub.” Erissa admitted. “my legs never really fit.” She laughed awkwardly, getting used to having Fera to talk to again.

Erissa took a breath and looked down at Fera. “The only place you’re going right now is to take a bath.” She laughed through the tears as she inched her lips closer to Fera’s.

It took her a moment, but Erissa returned the hug, squeezing her love tighter. “I…I don’t think I want you to, but its really hard to trust you right now.” She said reluctantly. “I want to believe you so bad but it is going to take time.” She whispered into Fera’s ear before instinctively kissing her ear.

Erissa took a breath and looked down at Fera. “The only place you’re going right now is to take a bath.” She laughed through the tears as she inched her lips closer to Fera’s.

Erissa shook her head and clenched her jaw. “You don’t get to leave for so long and say that. I don’t care about the reason for leaving.” She sighed, fresh tears rolling down her cheeks as she took a few more steps towards Fera. “I just accepted the life I was going to have and what now? I have to accept that your back.” She cried, finally reached out to Fera, touching her shoulder to see if she was even real. “Fuck…just tell me your back.” She gasped, forgetting to breathe.
