Chapter 23

The next morning, I woke with a slight start, wondering if everything from last night had been a dream or perhaps some juvenile fantasy. But no, lying next to me was a quietly sleeping Yoni, naked and beautiful. We had consummated our marriage with a great deal of passion and awkwardness, enjoying each other fully and learning very quickly that elves and humans didn’t seem all that different beneath the bed sheets.

I don’t know what took over me last night, but I was thankful that the deed was done. In the human laws, a marriage wasn’t true or official until consummation and I had been a bit worried that Esha would inquire into my husbandly actions when she arrived. The last thing I needed was for her to withdraw support from our alliance until a pregnancy happened. And frankly, attending to my duties as Gentleman of the House had never been more enjoyable.

But something in my heart ached as I watched my bride sleep in gentle bliss. She had pulled off the sheets in the middle of the night and was lying away from me, her beautiful backside so inviting. To be united with someone was so profound. And to know that she was mine and I was hers…it was enchanting. Though I didn’t know her very well, nor she me, we were together for such a great purpose in that moment. Would she love me as I wanted to be loved? Did elves have romance? Or was copulation merely for the purpose of procreation? Would this lovely creature relegate me to the sidelines the moment her stomach stirred with life? I did not know.

I placed a hand on her waist and gently kissed her neck, causing her to stir. She mumbled something in her native tongue (for she had exceeding difficulty speaking in Velecian during the moment) and forced my hand in between her legs. Before we could begin our next grand foray into lovemaking, however, there came a frantic and very unwelcome pounding on the door.

“Come on!” Joeth said as he slammed the door open wide, prompting me to shout and throw the sheets around my bride first and myself second. “It’s already noon, you’ve got work to do.”

“Hey! Get out!” I shouted back, putting up an ineffectual hand as if it would stop him from coming in.

Joeth paused, squinted at me and at my wife who had fallen back asleep, ignoring the presence of the bore wholly, then growled. “Are you kidding me? How in the hell are you getting action when I can’t get anyone to even look at me.”

“I’m not ‘getting action’,” I hissed, hastily donning my trousers so I could quite thoroughly kick this man’s ass. “She’s my wife and you will be respectful.”

“You’re married? How can a nerd like you get a wife? I mean where do you even find the time to look at a woman when you’re always reading or looking at the Grid?” he grumbled as I grabbed him and forcibly shoved him out the door, slamming it behind him.
