The Land Below our Feet II (Unleashed) COMPLETE

CHANGES

-Are you ready for a little treat, sweetheart? – The warrior's voice playfully asked as she clung to his bulky arm and they both followed the servant kid walking a few steps ahead of them.

This was the last night before the Ceremony and Ussiariah had insisted on spending it with her alone, so he promptly got Sehira and Iktan to agree to babysit their children, and now he was taking her to this secret, unknown place.

A loud gasp escaping from her when the child suddenly stopped before a tall door and pushed it open with a loud creak, revealing the opulent interior behind it.

-I… I thought you said that there were no warm baths here in Yahur – Souna said as she paced inside and marveled at the enormous marble tub that extended right before them inside that spacious chamber they had been led to by the silent, brunet boy.

Her eyes curiously trailing the numerous sparkling candles scattered around and illuminating the silent place, their lights reflected on the floor-to-ceiling mirrors that enclosed the vault, making it seem even bigger than it already was.

-There aren't… Well, at least not for the soldiers anyway – Ussi replied, chuckling – But when it comes to the Guider and the sporadic guests she hosts, well, you can say the facilities are a bit more… Accommodating.

-I honestly don't know what to make of this then – She scoffed, gesturing at the lavish room and eyeing him resentfully – Last time I was a guest here she let you throw me in the barracks along with the rest of your men, and if memory serves me right, you also tied me up like a goddamn convict! So much for hospitality...

-You were my prisoner back then, remember…– The warrior shrugged off distractedly - What did you expect? A master suite? She knew I would want to keep an eye on you.

- Oh, yeah… Cause I was so terribly dangerous! – Souna retorted, rolling her eyes up and walking past him, her hand gently probing the steamy waters as she crouched over the hot tub's edge – Gods forbid a lady to get a proper good night's rest.

-You tried to kill me! – He exclaimed, amused, shaking his head with incredulity – Have you already forgotten about that?

-Oh, Commander… I was never even close to grazing you – She mumbled scornfully, standing up and deliberately approaching him, her fingers teasingly drawing figures over his solid chest – You, on the other hand… You almost slit my throat! Remember?

-Good thing I didn't then – Ussi breathed out, his arms encircling her waist and licking his lips suggestively – It would have been such a pity…. Ruining that precious neck of yours.

-Good thing indeed… - Souna muttered, staring back into his eyes seductively, her voice fading into the humid atmosphere.

They stood there in silence, looking into each other's features with absorbed attention for a long while, until the sound of the boy's throat awkwardly clearing up made them both remember that they weren't alone in the room.

-S-Sir… Ussiariah – The servant kid stammered nervously, nodding at the heavy tray that he had been balancing precariously between his hands – Is there anything else I can be of service to you tonight?

-No, Elaien – The warrior merrily responded, taking the tray out of his shaky limbs and tilting his head at him kindly – That'll be all, you may leave now.

-Alright – The timid child replied, giving him a quick bow before heading towards the door, his steps halting a little distance away from the exit and turning towards him, biting his lip hesitantly – Ussi I… I never got to thank you for saving me. I just wanted to say that I will be forever grateful for that.

- Oh, but I didn't – The warrior simply answered, winking at him – Don't you see? You were the one who did all the hard work, child… I just spared you from death and sent you here. Yet it was your bravery that kept you alive. So, thank that giant pair of stones between your legs for it instead.

Elaien blinked repeatedly at Ussiariah´s statement, his blushing face nodding sheepishly and his feet spinning on his heels as he hurriedly walked away.

Ussiariah watched him disappear into the dark corridor until the echo of his footsteps faded in the tranquil night. His hand placing the tray down on a counter next to the huge thermal pool and turning towards Souna, a mischievous grin extending on his face.

-Hum... Where were we? – He whispered into her ear, his fingers starting to undo the laces of her scarlet garments as his lips pecked her nape intermittently – Oh yeah… I was talking about this beautiful neck.

Souna closed her eyes, feeling his hands fluttering around her as he rendered her naked in the middle of the damp hall and when she reopened them, she suddenly found herself staring at her own nudity reflected in the countless surrounding mirrors crudely displaying her imperfect figure from every possible angle and in the most unflattering ways.

A horrified gasp escaping from her throat as she hurried to try and cover her bare body, her arms darting at the saggy skin around her stomach and shyly concealing as much of it as she could. Her flustered face reddening even deeper when she raised her sight and found the warrior's eyes fixed sharply on her.

-What on earth do you think you're doing? – He asked, his hand gently grasping her wrist and effortlessly removing it from her abdomen – There is a reason why I brought you here tonight… And that's because I want to see you whole.

-Ussi… - Souna began saying, her mind suddenly painfully aware of the contrast between his toned and flawless body and her now flabby shape, the realization of it making her feel terribly out of place, her hand intending to pull her clothing back up in panic – Please, don’t… It's just disgusting!

She already knew that she had gained some weight during her pregnancy and after giving birth. But this was the first time she actively stared at her postpartum body in full view, and she loathed every inch of it.

When she'd lost her first child, she'd barely had any time to repose before she abruptly had to start her quest to try and free their land.

With all the physical challenges that the long trip and the subsequent war had tested her with, her figure had barely suffered any long-term changes at all, her muscle memory soon returning to full extent and restoring her curvaceous but clearly fit body to an even stronger condition than the one she previously had.

But now, between the never-ending ruling duties and the struggle of taking care of her children, she realized how much she'd neglected herself and how badly that sedentary lifestyle had affected her and the way she looked. Her embarrassed eyes averting from her own sight and his deeply frowning eyebrows.

-What the hell are you talking about, Souna? – He uttered with evident confusion, making her turn around to face him and pulling her chin up to inspect her features worriedly.

-Please don't play fool with me – She puffed out exasperated, sadly gesturing to the rolls on her lower stomach and tugging at them pointedly – Why would you want to see all of this? It's outright hideous!

-Because this is my wife's body – Ussi replied serenely, his hand deliberately running down the soft curve of her belly, his fingers purposefully tracing the stretchmarks edged on the sides of her hips. Making her shiver and instinctively moan at his contact – The one that gave me life in every sense, the one that went through all those changes to bring joy into this world... and the one that I'm planning to worship tonight.

-How aren't you turned off? – Souna anxiously asked, her gaze darting to her feet – I'm ages away from what I once used to be!

- I think you're being terribly harsh on yourself, sweetheart – The warrior said, shaking his head at her dismissively and holding her tighter – So, what? You've gained a couple extra pounds? What's the big deal? You just had a baby for the Gods sake! It's only been a few months!

-I know – She whispered, looking into his clear eyes, biting her lower lip and exhaling in frustration – But I want my old body back!

-And that can be arranged – Ussiariah nodded at her firmly – I will train you myself and get you there in no time if that's what you really want, but only if you promise that you will stop that bullshit thinking. It's just stupid and unreal… And it makes me mad.

– How can you say that? – Souna exhaled out, baffled - It's just… I mean, you're practically perfect, Ussi!

-You are too! – He retorted, making her spin around and face her own reflection in the mirror – Please, do me a favor and really look at yourself now…

He cupped her generous breast and gave it a little squeeze, his tongue lustfully licking her neck, his breath getting heavier as he did so, his other hand rapidly descending between her legs and massaging her groin simultaneously as he held her in place. Her eyes widening when she watched herself being manipulated by him, and she met her darkened irises as he hungrily trailed every inch of her body with his unavoidable piercing sight.

-See the way your n*****s rise whenever I touch them? – His raspy voice heatedly asked, brushing them with his finger and smiling lustfully at her – I love that.

He groaned, probing her already flooded slit briefly, before unexpectedly sliding his manhood from behind and making her yelp as it made his way in, his finger still rubbing circles around her engorged sprout and drawing distinct pleasure noises out of her.

-See how wet you get when I'm inside you? – He mindlessly declared, pecking her cheek as he stirred her dripping fluids and spread them over her labia – …. It drives me crazy.

His movements soon getting sharper and his respiration noticeably agitating as he clearly grew progressively aroused with every thrust. The distracted grunts that escaped him sending tingles down Souna´s crotch.

A confident smirk appearing on Ussi´s face as his bright eyes took note of the subtle signs of her approaching climax, purposely striving for it with each calculated push.

-See how your cheeks flush and your eyes shine when you are about to come? – He continued saying, his voice straining – How your legs tense and your lips quiver?

He trailed off… His sight glued on her features and his eyeballs rolling slightly backwards in delight, before refocusing on her and knowingly smiling.

–Yeah… like that – He mumbled as she loudly came undone all over him, and he fought to keep his pace steady while he basked in the cluster of electric waves that shook him forcefully and promptly made him spill his seed inside her with a deep, unconscious howl.

His voice slowly dissolving into a labored wheeze before regaining his previous train of thought. His hand passionately grabbing her face and holding her by the jaw, making her stare at the mirror before them with a raw emotion sparkling inside his eyes.

– Look at you! – He ordered sternly in his inescapable commanding tone, nodding at her flustered features as he remained deliberately inside her – This is how magnificent and perfect you are, Souna – He grunted, his grip tightening severely around her chin – This is what gets me off every time… So, don't you ever dare doubt it again, is that clear?

With that, he let her face go and pulled out of her soaked gash, leaving her standing there dumbfounded while he wordlessly let the rest of his armor fall to the floor and walked towards the bathtub.

-Come here… – He called out a moment later and Souna turned around to find him standing completely naked at the edge of it, holding two glasses of freshly poured wine. His eyes gesturing at the large tray filled to the brim with mouthwatering fruit and snacks, then pointing at the steamy water and waving his hand invitingly at her.

–Now let us take a little break to get you all cleaned up and fed – Ussi suggested, placing the glass in her hand and gently pulling her into the soothing waters - Because you're going to need that strength for what I have in store for you tonight.
