Page 60 of Valpar

“Miresa, what are you wearing?” he rasped.

“A towel? I don’t have any extra clothes.” I pulled the overly large towel up to my nose to hide my heated face, and Valpar came close to me. Instead of pulling me to his body, he grabbed a spare blanket from the bed, a clean one, and dumped it over my head.

Um, what?

“Let me find you some cloth. Stay there,” he said gruffly.

Simon let out a grunt and pulled on the blanket that covered me from head to toe. He pulled on it just enough, so it came off my head, and the blanket pooled onto the floor. When Valpar finished looking in his sack full of his supplies, he stood up and groaned as he took in my appearance.

“You don’t know how to stay put, do you?” He gritted his teeth, came toward me and shoved a black dress tunic over my head, while I still held the towel over my body. “I must go outside. Youwill remain in the cave, and I will be outside watching. Do not leave, do you understand?”

He didn’t look at me when he began to walk away.

Great, he was already tired of me.

“Valpar?” I whispered, so silently. I did it when Mom and Dad were upset with me and would just walk away. Even with their hearing, they never looked back.

It was the silent treatment, that’s what they called it. They’d leave me for long periods of time so I could think of what I had done wrong. I knew I deserved it most of the time. Jumping out of trees, letting some of the livestock go free…

Only this time, I didn’t know what I did to Valpar, to know what I had done wrong.

I pursed my lips together and pushed the towel down then threaded my arms through the holes of the dress. I crossed my arms, feeling cold and alone, but warmth engulfed me before I could think more dangerous thoughts.

“My sweet fairy, I am sorry.” He petted my still damp hair and pressed his cheek to it. “I am a male with few words, and I have been blessed with a female who requires many,” he said.

I sniffed and tried to wrap my arms around him.

“Please do not water your cheeks, I fear I might knock over every tree in this forest.”

I shook my head into his chest. “I don’t want you to hurt yourself by knocking stuff over.”

Valpar picked me up, and I straddled his waist.

“I am insulted that you would think your puny, soft trees would hurt me. I can push them over with one hand!” He took one of his arms and showed me his muscles.

Hubba, hubba.

“Hmm, yes.” I pinched his muscle. “It is very strong. You must test it for me.” I smiled. “I have not seen such strength from an orc before.”

Valpar’s eyes lit up. “You haven’t? Well, none better than your male. You shall come with me as I show you my strength.”

Valpar carried me outside of the cave and I clung to him tightly, not wanting to let go. The sun was shining brightly, and I squinted as we stepped into the light. Valpar walked with a confident stride, and I felt a bit like a princess as he carried me everywhere.

“I didn’t bring the leather lead to keep you tied to me. Are you going to stay where I put you?” He lifted an eyebrow in warning.

My pussy fluttered and I opened my mouth to say something smart back, but he put a hand over my mouth.

“Think before you speak, or I will march back into the cave and get it.”

I shook my head, and he released his hand. “Nope, no sir, Mr. Big Bad Orc Sir. I will stay where you put me.”

For like five minutes.

Pleased with himself, he nodded as he brought us onto the beach and took a sharp turn to the left into the forest. After a five-minute walk, with Simon trotting behind us, we entered a large clearing surrounded by trees and tall grass. In the center stood a tall, sturdy tree with thick branches reaching towards the sky. Valpar set me down gently on a large, flat rock nearby and grinned mischievously at me.

“Watch this, my sweet fairy, while your male shows you his strength.” He flexed his muscles once more and cracked his neck. Then, he strutted over, placed both hands on the trunk of the tree and with a loud grunt, he pushed against it with all his might. The ground trembled beneath us as he put all his strength into it. Slowly but surely, the tree began to tilt and creak under his force. Pixies screamed, and I almost felt bad, but all of them could fly just fine.

Finally, the giant tree came crashing down with a thunderous boom.
