Page 7 of Arrested By the Orc

I couldn’t approach her then because I could lose my mind and drag Sadie off by her hair and keep her in my ‘cave’. In modern times there is no kidnapping of females. But the fact remains that there are no female orcs and we must impregnate humans, who will then give us sons. In primitive ages orcs used to give into their baser natures and kidnap females and take them to their tribes. This is why mobs of angry humans with pitchforks often arrived at our gates and was the main form of communication between the two species. Angry groups of males wanting back stolen girlfriends, sisters, daughters, aunts, cousins or friends, was very common.

And orcs refused to give up their mates.

But this is no longer the case. Orc culture has grown and evolved. Many orcs still live on communes, not wanting to live amongst humans, but we no longer kidnap females. Kidnapping and mating without consent is strictly forbidden amongst all our tribes, communes and across all the continents.

After a certain human female, living on a commune in Maine, wrote a bestselling book explaining her life and times while in a loving marriage with an orc, women worldwide seem to like us more. The temperature between orcs and humans has lowered overall and acceptance by all humans worldwide of orc culture has grown exponentially. Many females now want to live on communes with us, and orcs can be choosy. Kidnapping is no longer needed.

But I still have all my baser instincts, which are inbred. During the winter, if I were to get close to a female I scent as my mate, I might lose my mind and take her without consent. I didn’t want to take that chance with Sadie, so I kept my distance.

I was very surprised to have such a visceral reaction towards this female. At thirty-two years old I’d never once felt anything besides possible friendship for any female I’d ever met.

And yet when I saw Sadie Powell, I instantly wanted that long blonde hair wrapped around my fist as I fucked her from behind. A growl rumbled in my chest. The need was so strong I followed her down the street and watched as she went inside the bakery. I’ve been watching her ever since. Also, because she doesn’t seem concerned about her safety while she works alone at dawn, but I am.

I’ve waited for winter to turn into spring, which was physically very difficult, but I managed. Her scent was not actually in my lungs and I’d never touched her, so I was able to remain sane. But it’s now April and I am in her vicinity and I’m ready.

And I can scent her arousal for me in return.

I did notice her gaze on me often, so I assumed there was something there. We were once at the gas station at the same time and I caught her staring at me when I looked, she swiftly turned away. She seems to be unmated. I don't know how this is possible that none of these human males have snapped her up but lucky for me they're all stupid.

I've in essence become her bodyguard. Not that there is much in the way of criminality here, this is why I'm the first sheriff in Silver Lake because this is an easy job, there's not much to do but I…

“Bowen, Bowen did you hear what I said?”

I look down in annoyance at the female who is again trying to insert herself in my space. This reporter often chats with me much more than necessary and about personal subjects that have nothing to do with my job. And this time she was talking to me and not including Sadie.

Is that why my female left? Was it because she didn’t feel included?

Ms. Amato puts her hand on my arm and I growl because I want only Sadie’s touch.

The female blinks and steps back. “Bowen, what’s wrong?”

I take a deep breath, forcing myself to remain calm and professional and…kind. I’ve never told her she could use my first name and I hate the sound of this informality on her lips. But I cannot frighten or upset this female from the media services. I want only Sadie, but this other female wants my attention in order to ask questions that will gain her information she can then communicate them to other humans. She provides a valuable service and this random touching on the fabric of my uniform might be a harmless expression of human nature and I’m here to prove to the world that orcs can live and work amongst humans.

I am the first orc to be in human law enforcement. Soon there will be orcs allowed in the military. My job is to simply to show that we can all get along. I represent not only myself in this job, but all orcs. If I can hold this position without any errors, like for instance going berserk and kidnapping a female off the street, then I am proving that orcs can enter a variety of other fields beyond law enforcement, like the military, firefighting and even other civilian positions.

I'm a test case and I fully understand that if I do something wrong, it reflects not just on me, but my whole species. The communes are filled with orcs who want to live in the ways of old and preserve our traditions, which is admirable, but nowadays many of us in the younger generation also want to live alongside humans, not separate and apart. Human civilizations are so vast, it's not like it used to be where we could live more distant. There's so many of them now and their technology and weaponry have grown to a point where it's plain stupid for us to not live amongst humans in peace and let go of the past and build a future together with them.

“Bowen? What’s wrong? Did you hear what I said? I was asking if you wanted to go out to…”

She does not take no for an answer, always trying to get me to go out with her after work hours to ‘talk’, but I decline. This female has been too much. She has touched me before and it always felt uncomfortable but not as it did now where I literally jerked away and growled. The problem is that today I spent time in close quarters with my female and her pheromones have entered my lungs and I’m already bonding to her. I need my eyes on Sadie. In fact, I need to touch my female to get this other uncomfortable touch out of my system. I need to immediately replace it with Sadie’s scent immediately.

My heart is pounding and my muscles are twitching.

I march away from Ms. Amato toward Sadie.

“What are you doing?” Amato shouts from behind me. “Does anyone know where he’s going? I thought we were talking…”

I unlock the cell and crowd inside and gently push aside annoyed humans until I reach the one I need.

“Why is the Sheriff in here pushing his weight around?” someone grouses. “This is uncalled for.”

And this is how I end up with my nose in her hair.

“Bowen?” Her arms go around my waist. “Oh no. What is wrong? Are you okay? I’m worried about you. You seem upset. And um, why are you sniffing me again?”

I don’t respond, just pull her with me into a corner and inhale and put my arms around her soft form. Immediately, the irritation in my blood and muscles starts to melt away. A calmness enters my mind and the same warmth as before returns across my body. Her scent, the sound of her voice and the feel of her in my arms is all I need.

I’ve got it bad.
