Thoughts?","writing":"* * * * * 16\n\n\tLyrah’s cheeks flushed even more, her upper torso sinking a bit further beneath the water. “Y-yeah? Well, what about it?” she replied somewhat defensively.\n\n\tDrenan kept a concerned expression. “It’s… it’s not exactly proper, you know? I have heard of practices where clothing is entirely cast aside, but this household-“\n\n\t“I know, dad,” she added somewhat sharply. “Will you just relax? I know you’re a prude, but this is how I live now, and I like the way I look, thank you.”\n\n\tThe paladin sighed sadly. “That’s not what I was getting at. You’ve grown into a fine young woman, and maybe you should really think before you call me a prude.” He ended his words in a deeper tone, gaze fixated upon her. Paladins were fairly well-known to act prudish, but Drenan figured his little collection of scrolls would say otherwise. No, he’d never done anything outwardly explicit in front of Lyrah before, but the scrolls were his one guilty pleasure, and he justified them as an alternate route to finding another mate.\n\n\tLyrah vividly recalled the scroll incident from years before. It was a scroll she still had in her bags to this very day, and she’d used it many, many times. “Then what’s the problem?”\n\n\t“I just…” he started, pondering on how exactly to word it. “I guess I’d like to know if… if you acted in such a way during your travels as well. You understand? I mean, taking many mates can have consequences, and to dress in such ways can put you in dangerous situations.”\n\n\tHer azure eyes flickered silently for several moments. He’d assumed that much from just being carefree? It was unlike her father to assume too much, particularly to make incorrect assumptions, but she also knew from experience that when he was wrong, he was usually making his connection out of panic. Her initial anger and offense steadily melted into understanding, and further into her own concern as she eyed her naked father. “Dad…” she started, but stopped and slowly rose to stand in the tub in front of him, softly stride over to his side and sit back down next to him, wrapping one arm around behind his broad shoulders. “That’s not who I am. No one else, except for you now, has seen my body in its natural state, and yesterday was the first time I’d gotten to wear those garments. Out there I have to wear my armor. It’s saved my life, even at the inns, more than once.”\n\n\tLyrah’s little walk, coupled with the gentle jiggle of her curves, nearly took Drenan’s breath away. Her words were gentle and even, almost like music to his ears. “Then… why do you act so freely here, sweetheart?”\n\n\tHer cheeks flushed a bit yet again. “Well, I’m at home. I’m comfy here, and I guess it just hasn’t seemed like a huge deal, not that I’ve been doing it on purpose,” she added. “You’re the one who walked in on me.”\n\n\t“Oh? And who asked me for the wake-up call?” he shot back playfully.\n\n\tA deeper flush invaded her cheeks. “I didn’t think about it. I like to sleep naked, that’s all,” she admitted outright, exhaling heavily at the confession and quickly preparing a dangerous follow-up. “Don’t tell me you never have.”\n\n\tIt was Drenan’s turn to hesitate. She was playing her cards well if she had been responsible for the rug. “Like I said, you should really think before you assume. Of course I have, behind my closed doors.”\n\n\t“Y-yeah?” Lyrah stuttered slightly, the image from the night before becoming her sole focus.\n\n\tHer father was quick to catch her gentle reaction. “Something tells me you already knew that.”\n\n\tShe sunk back down into the water again to leave just her muzzle and head above it. Her arms drifted down to her sides, the left one dangerously close to her father’s erection. “Maybe.”\n\n\t“I know you were in my room last night, Lyrah,” he stated outright.\n\n\t“How? How’d you know from the rug?” she asked, clearly very confused.\n\n\tAs proud as he was of his little bit of detective work, Drenan hesitated to reveal his secret. “I… I was not fully asleep,” he lied. “I saw you come in.”\n\n\tIf Lyrah’s cheeks could’ve gotten any hotter, the tub water would’ve started bubbling. “Oh Earthmother,” she mumbled meekly. “Dad, I am so, so sorry… I… I couldn’t stop myself. Did… did you like it?”\n\n\tHis bluff had been called in the most unimaginable way possible. Drenan had no choice but to ask. “Like what?”\n\n\tLyrah immediately regained at least a semblance of her composure with a soft grin. “You weren’t awake.”\n\n\t“Now hold on. You asked if I liked something. Tell me what it was, Lyrah,” he commanded more than asked this time. He seemed to grow a bit firmer, but he hardly seemed angry.\n\n\t“Mmph…” she mumbled and toyed with the idea of lying herself. She’d already been caught essentially, but he didn’t know what she felt was the worst of it. In worried resignation, she sighed and looked him in the eye. “I’m really sorry, dad. Your bandages needed changing, so I changed them, and to make sure you stayed asleep I… I…” She couldn’t get out the words, and instead simply pointed in the general direction of his submerged member.\n\n\tDrenan couldn’t tell if he should feel horrified or excited beyond all reason. His eyes widened as he looked down where she pointed and back to her, remembering the odd feeling he’d had when he’d awakened. He’d only truly yelled at Lyrah twice in her life, and while his temptation to make this the third existed, he had to know exactly what had happened first. “You need to tell me, Lyrah. What did you do to it?” he asked evenly.\n\n\t“I licked it!” she blurted and dropped her whole face below the water as if to hide herself. Incidentally she happened to open her eyes beneath the water and caught sight of the barely-hidden erection her father sported. With a soft squeak she resurfaced and rubbed her eyes in a panic.\n\n* * * * * 17\n\n\tShe still couldn’t see quite yet, but the feeling of her father’s hand coming to rest on her bare shoulder was clear enough, as was his gentle tone that followed. “I think it’s about time we addressed the elekk in the room.” Her eyes cleared as she turned to look at her softly-smiling father. “I had a hunch that’s what happened, but I couldn’t believe it until you told me outright. Thank you for being honest, but I wish you had told me the truth the first time.”\n\n\t“I-“ she started, but Drenan gently shushed her with another smile.\n\n\t“Shh. Just listen, sweetheart. This isn’t something I’ve ever talked about, or even thought about, since you came home. I am not angry, nor am I disgusted.” In truth, Drenan almost couldn’t believe his own words as he spoke, but sitting there next to his daughter in the bath was perhaps the most peaceful he’d felt since her return, and he couldn’t find the energy to be mad at her. “What you did, sweetheart, was a violation of my personal space without my permission. If it had been anyone else, that person would feel my wrath and just barely live to tell about it, but… well, you’re my daughter. I love you, and that could never change no matter what happened.” The paladin’s expression bordered on nervousness with flushed cheeks, but he was steadfast and tried to say what he’d been wanting to say as best as he could. “There is much that has been on my mind of late, not least of which is yourself, and such thoughts are far different than any I’ve ever had before, Lyrah. Thoughts of love have been ever-present, but… there…” The elder began to trail off and lose his composure, his words fumbling over each other into a nervous, unintelligible fit.\n\n\tIt was here that Lyrah swallowed her own nervousness. She’d listened intently to her father, but she couldn’t help but press a soft finger to his lips. “Dad… I… I think I get it,” she echoed softly. Her eyes quickly darted down his torso and back up to him, or at least of what she could see of him. “If I’m wrong… stop me.” As she spoke, she slowly turned around in the water to rise up onto her knees beside him, and tenderly she raised her right knee and shifted to softly straddle his submerged lap, her rump lightly brushing his erect manhood. His skin was warm to the touch beneath the waves, and slowly she brought her hands up to wrap around his powerful neck in a tender embrace. Her simple words had left him powerless and stunned, and even if he’d wanted to, he couldn’t have stopped her. Her beautiful, innocent-looking face neared his own with a tender smile, and before he knew it, Drenan’s lips were locked in a deep kiss with his own daughter, a much deeper kiss than the pair had ever shared before.\n\n\tBoth tauren adorned their kiss with gentle moans as they gave in to its intense power. Drenan’s muscular hands rose to press against Lyrah’s waist, holding her tenderly against him as they kissed. The sunrise left a series of red and golden hues to stream across their wet fur, and even being out in the open at the time, neither one seemed to care. All that mattered were the two of them, right then and there, breaking the taboo that both had dangerously toyed with since Lyrah’s return.\n\n\tIt was many moments before their kiss broke. Drenan seemed more stunned than anything as he stared into his daughter’s eyes, while Lyrah seemed to be damn near bursting with thrilled excitement. Oddly enough, it was Drenan who broke the silence first. “I guess you do get it, huh.”\n\n\tLyrah giggled somewhat nervously, leaning in and resting her chin against her father’s shoulder as she squeezed him tightly. “I think so, yeah.” Lyrah inhaled the scent of her father softly, nuzzling his furred shoulder lovingly. After a long moment, the young woman felt she had to ask, “So, uh… where does this leave us?”\n\n\tDrenan clung to her as his own mind reeled with conflicting thoughts. Her question was a valid one, as he’d already transgressed beyond comprehension in the eyes of the Sunwalkers. He knew if any of them found out, even if he was just a reserve who had technically retired, they’d strip him of everything they could, and a word to the Warchief could potentially get him imprisonment, if not worse. It was a dangerous game the two of them had initiated. “Well, I guess that depends, sweetheart. Do you love me?”\n\n\tShe almost seemed shocked as she pulled back to look at him again. “I love you a lot, dad. I really do.”\n\n\t“Do you feel you could accept our relationship being more than just as father and daughter?” he asked plainly.\n\n\tThis caused Lyrah to hesitate for the briefest of moments. “I’ve never found another man I thought I could love, so I think I’d be alright with more.”\n\n\tHe cocked a concerned eyebrow. “Just alright?”\n\n\tShe giggled softly. “More than alright. Very happy.” Her words were punctuated with another tender kiss, this time with her little tongue teasing and taunting his lips before the kiss broke.\n\n\tDrenan was fairly unfazed. “Do you think you can live with our relationship remaining a secret?”\n\n\tLyrah cocked a slightly confused eyebrow. “I can’t tell anyone?”\n\n\t“Not unless I know who it is, and I deem them trustworthy,” he explained. “This is a dangerous game we’re bordering on right now, and if the wrong people found out we could both be in some serious clefthoof dung.”\n\n\tThe young woman’s eyes traced over his chest as she considered his words. “Alright. I can do that.”\n\n\tDrenan reached up with a gentle hand to stroke his daughter’s mane with a smile. “And finally, do you think you have the patience to bear with my rules? I don’t consider myself to be any form of expert or even remotely knowledgeable of the kind of relationship we’ve been teasing, but if we start down this path there’s no going back, and I’m certain there will be times where I’ll have to enforce rules to keep us from being discovered. I need to know that you’ll cooperate and be on board with these rules, not only as my daughter, but as…” he hesitated briefly to lean in and kiss her once again with gentle, passionate fervor. A moment later he pulled away, leaving his lips a hair’s breadth from her own. “My mate.”\n\n\tExcited shivers ran up Lyrah’s spine. Her father’s presence, when fully focused on her, was more powerful than she’d expected it to be. Nothing about the moment felt wrong to her. She was reveling in being so close to her father, and the skin-to-skin contact, even with wet fur, was so new to her that she had no desire to let go. He was so accepting of what she’d done, and to even want to take things a step further was beyond her comprehension, but she was in no mood to question it. “Yes,” was all she could squeak out before her embrace tightened on him threefold, her plump breasts squishing against his chest as she showered him with a dozen, excited kisses.\n\n\tDrenan’s attempt at a chuckle came out as more of a soft moan as his daughter lavished him with her touch of flesh and lips. Never in his lifetime, before the past few days, had he ever considered having anything remotely like this with his own daughter, nor could he have ever imagined himself practically initiating the relationship, let alone Lyrah being more than amicable for it. He found himself thrilled to know that she felt about him as he did about her, and as nervous as he was about being found out –both for her sake and his– it was a risk he felt he was willing to take. He loved her above all else, so the addition of a sexual flame to the relationship almost seemed like the natural course. “Ah, and another thing,” he piped up, causing her to cease her barrage of kisses and look at him with a wisp of uncertainty. “If you happen to find yourself wanting to lick me again, I’d much prefer it if I were conscious enough to witness it.”\n\nLyrah’s cheeks flushed shyly yet again. “Yes, dad.”\n\n* * * * * 18\n\n\tThe sun was above the horizon and making its way higher in the sky while the tauren pair kissed and explored each other tenderly. The fire had gone out beneath the tub a while before, though it wasn’t until now that the temperature drop was noticeable. Lyrah smiled at her father as she reached back behind her, dipped her fingertips below the steadily-chilling water, and wrapped them around his waiting manhood. The shock of the touch brought a deep groan of delight from Drenan, and with a coy smile Lyrah began to stand. It was here that the elder male’s mind shot back to reality.\n\n\tThings felt comfortable between the two, more so than they had since Lyrah’s return home, but Drenan found that there always seemed to be something to worry about. He knew where the natural progression was to go next, and the thought of actually mating with his daughter gave him thrills of anticipation unlike any others, but with such pleasure always came risk. He’d had a child before of course, but Lyrah was still so young and innocent in his eyes, and the thought of her bearing his child gave him mixed feelings. Having another child wouldn’t be so bad for him, but for Lyrah…. He didn’t want the same experience for her that her mother did.\n\n\tPaladins had no knowledge of contraceptives –celibacy was expected more than anything, outside of a life-mate anyway– so Drenan felt he was at something of a loss for what to do, but he had heard whispers years ago that the druids of the Moonglade had a method of their own. Myths cropped up now and again about the druids being exceptionally promiscuous in their little corner of Azeroth, though his trips there had been few and far between. He only knew one druid who seemed trustworthy enough to help him out, though even more concern cropped up as to whether Lyrah would understand. He knew if he wanted to truly be with her though, he needed contraceptive.\n\nThese thoughts immediately shot through Drenan’s head, and before she could position herself his hands shot out around her to clamp down onto her plump rump, freezing her in place. Lyrah gave him a confused look at this. “What’s wrong?”\n\nDrenan sighed painfully. “Sweetheart, I love you and I want this more than I can describe right now, but now’s just not the time. The water’s getting cold, and perhaps somewhere more… well, romantic may do the trick? Not to mention the water itself, hot or cold, might make things uncomfortable.”\n\nHer father’s backpedaling caused her to look at him skeptically. “Are you sure?”\n\nDrenan nodded slowly as he brought her back down into his lap for another, loving kiss. “I think tonight might be a bit better. I have to run an errand or two today, but once they’re done we’ll have nothing to worry about.”\n\nLyrah put on her best puppy-dog eyes as she looked up at him. “Promise?”\n\n“I promise,” he echoed sincerely. His tone was enough to set her at ease and curl up against her father’s chest. The reprieve was brief, however, as the tub’s water had begun to border on chilling one’s naughty bits off. With a tender exchange of smiles Drenan scooped his naked daughter into his arms and carried her back to dry land. All seemed right on their little patch of Azeroth that day as the two dried themselves and each other. As they finished, Lyrah couldn’t help but reach down and give her father’s rump a firm squeeze before dashing back into their house and out of sight, giggling like a little schoolgirl again, though Drenan could only chuckle and give his erection a wistful touch. Damn him for his atrocious pseudo-sense of duty and morals.\n\n\t\n\n\tOnce dry, Drenan scooped up his robes and looked at them for a long moment before simply tossing them over his shoulder. She’d been so free with her own body, so why shouldn’t he? If he was being honest with himself, the open air on his skin felt amazing, even inside the house. As he made his way upstairs he paused outside Lyrah’s door. It was wide open and she was laying on her bed, still fully nude with a wet mane and poring over a familiar-looking scroll. Her long legs swayed back and forth in the air happily, as did her long, little tail. She was humming a tune when he knocked on her door frame. “You have a minute, sweetheart?”\n\n\tHer ears perked up as she grinned at her father, swinging around to sit on her knees on her bed and look at him. “What’s up, dad?”\n\n\t“Well, since I’ll be gone today I was hoping you might be able to manage a couple chores before I get back?”\n\n\t“But daaaaad,” she groaned, dramatically collapsing to the floor and crawling toward him. “I hate choressssss.” As she got closer she performed an exaggerated flop onto her back, breasts swaying as she reached up to playfully, yet gently, touch his remaining erection.\n\n\tThe touch alone was enough to make Drenan inhale sharply, and a moment’s pause was necessary for him to regain composure. “I know, sweetheart. I promise I’ll make it worth your while when I get back.”\n\n\tLyrah sighed with a reluctant nod. She trusted him, if nothing else. “Okay, dad. What do you need?” she asked, her fingertips still curiously tracing the veins along his shaft.\n\n\tHe made no move to stop her, but it made it much more difficult to concentrate. “Well, if you could make the beds today I would appreciate it. And if you’d like,” he paused and leaned over, practically ravishing his daughter’s body with his eyes alone. “Maybe pick out an outfit? Something that accentuates these?” he suggested and reached down to boldly grasp and squeeze her right breast. Things really had changed, and very quickly.\n\n\tLyrah squeaked softly, but happily, at her father’s new boldness. She’d never seen her father as particularly assertive unless there were chores to be done or fights to be fought, but this new side just made him seem all the more masculine to her. She seemed to shrink back on the floor with a timid smile. “Yes, daddy.”\n\n\tAt this he had to shoot her a curious look of his own. “I haven’t heard you call me that since you were three.”\n\n\t“Oh,” she echoed, seeming to grow flustered. “I, well, it just kinda slipped out, and, you, um-”\n\n\t“I like it,” he cut off her stumbling with a chuckle. “And maybe I could get a kiss goodbye?”\n\n\tHer cheeks were more flushed than ever as she hopped to her feet, cutely rising up on the tips of her hooves as her lips met her father’s tenderly. Drenan reached out and pulled her to his chest as they kissed, both tauren moaning softly against one another. “Anything for you… daddy,” she whispered as they broke apart.\n\n\tThe words sent excitement back through Drenan’s spine. He wasn’t expecting his daughter to act so submissively to his wishes, but he found that he was hardly disappointed. He knew she was a strong woman, but to find that she’d do as he asked, and perhaps he alone, was more than tempting. He wondered briefly whether taking advantage of his daughter’s willingness was wrong, but a new thought shoved it far into the back of his mind. “I think I could use another kiss goodbye.” She began to lean in, but he slipped a finger up against her lips before theirs could meet. “Not there,” he instructed gently.\n\n\tLyrah instantly knew what he meant. Smiling, she tiptoed backwards a couple steps before slowly dropping to her knees. His erection was the perfect height in front of her, and the color never left her cheeks as she leaned in to lustfully give the tapered head of his manhood a tender kiss. Her lips pressed against his flesh for a long moment before opening and gently enveloping the first two inches of his length, deeply and wetly suckling on his heated flesh.\n\n\tThe evolution of her kiss was more than Drenan had hoped for, and in response a deep, bull-like groan of delight escaped him, one hand reflexively draping down behind her head as she kissed his length.\n\n\tDespite seeming to last for ages, just a few seconds later Lyrah pulled away, looking up at her father and throwing him a seductive wink. “Have a good trip, daddy. I love you.”\n\n\tAs painful as it was to get such a delicious taste of what Lyrah was capable of, Drenan knew he had to leave soon if he wanted to be home by sunset. He took a deep breath before he reached and guided Lyrah back to standing and giving her a more loving and intimate hug. “I love you too, sweetheart. I’ll see you tonight, and I promise it will be worth the wait.”\n\n\t“I know it will,” she said with a smile, her eyes never leaving him as he walked further past her door.\n\n* * * * * 19\n\n\tMoonglade was a good few hours’ trip from Azshara. Winterspring was never easy for Drenan’s wyvern to handle, and taking the long way through Ashenvale and Darkshore was dangerous for members of the Horde. The furbolgs were never Drenan’s favorite either, so flying was best in his eyes. The entire trip he couldn’t help but think lovingly about Lyrah. He’d fully given in to the thoughts of being with her, caressing her curvaceous body, and ultimately making love with her, likely for her first time, and his first since she’d been born. He thought to be concerned that he might have grown rusty, but he knew that, being the elder, he had to have an air of confidence about him. He knew what he was doing, and it’s likely that she didn’t, at least to a degree.\n\n\tThe echoes of gentle singing were the first to reach him as he touched down along the edge of the glade’s lake and dismissed his wyvern. The area was rather quiet save for the singing, but a few druids walked here and there or sat and chatted among the leaves. Drenan quietly admired the druids for their free spirits, but he’d always known better than to get too involved among them. He considered himself a tauren of discipline, for the most part.\n\n\tTaking a path northward, the paladin found himself entering the main druid compound, and to his good fortune the first person he caught the eye of was Shele. “Drenan! What a surprise! You never visit me!” she cried and sprinted toward him, trapping him in a sort of bear hug.\n\nDrenan tentatively returned the hug. “Indeed, I do apologize.”\n\n“No need, it’s a long flight for sure,” she added with a sagely nod. Her expression suddenly grew concerned as some particular thought struck her. “Is Lyrah okay? I heard her scream at the Faire yesterday.”\n\nThe pair turned away from the compound and began to walk as they chatted. “She’s a bit scratched up, but alright. I had my own fair share of pain,” he added, motioning toward his side between his armor plates. He’d abandoned the bandages before he’d left, as the wound had healed enough to not need them. He knew it’d leave at least a faint scar though.\n\n\t“Oh goodness,” she echoed and gently touched the wound. “Can I get you a salve for that? For her? I know my fair share of alchemy.”\n\n\tDrenan shook his head slowly. “No, no. We appreciate it, but I think we’ll be alright there. I was actually hoping to ask you about something else,” he added a bit nervously.\n\n\tShele cocked a curious eyebrow. “Oh?” was all she said.\n\n\tThe paladin inhaled and exhaled deeply to compose himself. “I was wondering if you knew any… methods of contraception I could use,” he stated more than asked.\n\n\tThe druidess’ look turned curious with a hint of coyness. “Found yourself a lover, hmm?”\n\n\tDrenan narrowed his eyes defensively. “And what business is that of yours?”\n\n\tA hint of a smile crept across her face. “Business that makes me wonder why you’ve rebuffed me for so many years. Suddenly you up and have a girl, and you didn’t even mention her yesterday?”\n\n\t“Rebuffed you?” he asked, genuinely perplexed.\n\n\tShele put on an exaggerated expression of shock. “Drenan! You dense bull! Tell me you’re joking!”\n\n\t“Joking? Do I look that jovial?” he asked curiously.\n\n\tThe druidess just about smacked herself in the face. “By the Earthmother. Drenan, you’re my friend and I’m glad we met when Lyrah was born, but honestly, have you really not noticed me trying to get your attention? I’ve been gardening for you for ages, I’ve made dinner for you multiple times, and nothing?”\n\n\tDrenan shyed away from her in embarrassment. “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize. I’ve always had the utmost appreciation for everything you’ve done, but you never said-“\n\n\t“I never should have had to spell it out for you,” she echoed in frustration, though that coy smile seemed to creep back into existence. “But I’m not surprised. I know you’re not what I’m looking for, hun.”\n\n\t“I’m not sure I understand,” the paladin admitted.\n\n\tShele sighed. “You’re a very attractive tauren, Drenan. I’ve always liked you, but I never could’ve been your life-mate if you’d ever asked. It’s not in my nature.”\n\n\t“Life-mate?” Drenan was thoroughly blown away. “Who said anything about life-mate?”\n\n\t“So. Dense. So dense,” she chided and clicked her tongue. “I just never thought you’d take another mate after your wife passed, hun, but if you are, why not take me for a bit of fun?”\n\n\tColor flooded his cheeks. “I just came to ask about contraceptives, Shele. I appreciate the offer, but my… mate is fairly serious.”\n\n\t“Already!? Drenan, you demon!” she gasped and laughed. “I’ll never understand how paladins function, and don’t get me started on priests. If you’re so serious, surely you wouldn’t mind another child, hmm?”\n\n\t“I really would. She really would,” he said more firmly.\n\n\t“Hmm. Quite frankly, I’m offended,” she pouted and looked up at him. She wasn’t much shorter than he, but it was an inch or two enough to make a difference. “I’m not sure I want to give it to you.”\n\n\tDrenan found himself losing any right to make such a request. “I understand, and I will respect your decision either way, but I’m asking very nicely and both she and I would appreciate it more than I can articulate.”\n\n\tThat damn grin was still on her face. “Well, you have asked pretty nicely. Tell you what, I’ll give you a full vial of my own special mixture –it’s flawless, you’ll have no worries whatsoever– on one condition.”\n\n\tHe immediately grew all the more defensive in posture, and he knew the mischievous druid well enough to know better than to blindly agree. “And what’s that?”\n\n\tShele let out a melodious, sly giggle. “My next visit is in three days to tend to the garden. Once I’m finished, I want to meet your lovely lady, and,” she paused and leaned up toward Drenan, who steadfastly refused to lean away. “I get to see you two put it to good use.”\n\n* * * * * 20\n\n\tThe panic alarms in Drenan’s head were instantly reeling, but his stoic exterior hid them well. “And why would you want that?”\n\n\tShele backed off slightly with a sigh. “Hun, as dense as you are I’m not surprised that you don’t know this. We druids are exceptionally free with our love. We love whoever we please simply for the pleasure of doing so, whether it be each other, the creature denizens of our lands, or any other beings of Azeroth, Alliance or Horde. We thrive on the sexual energy we gain from being so free, and it would thrill me to death to simply watch as you enjoy your mate. I don’t have to have any involvement, but if you want my potions, I want to watch.”\n\n\tDrenan felt at a loss. On one hand he could go seeking another source, but doing so might take more time than he had, and the more inquiries he made, the more suspicion could be garnered. On the other hand he could accept the deal, but doing so would already endanger the relationship that had been just established that morning. The lesser of two evils was difficult for him to swallow, but he knew, to his dismay, what his best course of action was. “Fine. Tell me what I owe you.”\n\n\tWithout skipping a beat, Shele pulled her leafy robes open and withdrew a sizeable crystal vial filled with aqua-colored liquid. “Oh, it’s free of charge hun. All I want is my viewing time in a few days,” she insisted and handed him the vial. “If it’s good enough, I just might be up for another exchange when that month’s supply runs out too,” she added with a sly wink.\n\n\tDrenan inspected the vial slowly. “How do I use it?”\n\n\t“Just take one spoonful every 24 hours, and you’ll never have to worry about mistakes. That should last you a solid thirty days if you don’t spill any,” she assured him with a curt nod. “Oh, but don’t take much more than two in one day. Two is deadly enough, but three could ruin any chance of children ever again. Less than one won’t have any effect at all.”\n\n\t“I’ll keep that in mind,” he assured her before pocketing the vial. “I can’t thank you enough, Shele.”\n\n\t“Don’t mention it,” she added with a light laugh, seemingly well-pleased with their deal. Only a moment of silence ensued before she piped up again, however. “So, who’s the lucky lady, hmm?”\n\n\tDrenan gritted his teeth. “That’s classified. I should be going.”\n\n\t“Oh come now, I gave you that for practically free! The least you could do is tell me about her! What finally pierced the rock-hard heart of Drenan the Valiant?” The druidess began to twirl in front of him playfully, her tail swishing as if to catch his eye.\n\n\tThe paladin remained stern as he pulled his hearthstone from his pack. “We made our deal, Shele. I really need to get back home to Lyrah.”\n\n\tShele’s dance immediately ceased. Her eyes grew wide as she gasped and clapped both hands over her mouth. “Drenan, it couldn’t be.”\n\n\t“What?” he asked innocently, holding back from activating his stone.\n\n\t“No,” was all she could say as she swooped back toward him. “Drenan, even among us druids, mating with offspring and family is severely discouraged, if not frowned upon altogether.”\n\n\tDrenan seemed to grow angry as his tone dropped to a hissing whisper. “It’s not Lyrah!” he lied outright.\n\n\tShele steeled her own gaze this time and respectfully dropped her own tone. “Hun, we both know I’m gonna find out who it is in a few days, unless you never intended to hold up your end of the bargain. I’ve never known you to be even remotely deceitful.”\n\n\tThe male tauren groaned hopelessly and clapped his hand to his forehead for a brief moment before dragging it down his face in frustration. “Look, I’ll be honest with you because I trust you, but you cannot tell a soul. If anyone-“\n\n\tShe quietly fluttered her hands before him to silence him. “Not a word, I promise. I wouldn’t sell you out, not in a lifetime. Just…” she paused and looked at the vial. “Be really, really careful.”\n\n\tDrenan nodded and placed a tender hand on her shoulder. “Thank you, Shele. Honestly. Thank you.”\n\n\tShe seemed to brighten back up again. “Aw shucks hun. It’s nothing.” The paladin smiled and touched the swirled stone, but as the familiar blue light began to glow, Shele piped up one last time. “So, should I… knock extra loud when I come?”\n\n\tThe paladin nearly dropped his stone. He’d honestly thought the taboo would have discouraged the pervy druidess. “You mean…?”\n\n\tShe scoffed. “We have a deal you dumb bull. If anything this’ll just make it even more exciting.”\n\n\t“Right. Exciting. Thanks again, Shele,” he admonished quickly before the blue light overtook him and whisked him far from the glade and the elated tauren.\n\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"* * * * * 16
\tLyrah’s cheeks flushed even more, her upper torso sinking a bit further beneath the water. “Y-yeah? Well, what about it?” she replied somewhat defensively.
\tDrenan kept a concerned expression. “It’s… it’s not exactly proper, you know? I have heard of practices where clothing is entirely cast aside, but this household-“
\t“I know, dad,” she added somewhat sharply. “Will you just relax? I know you’re a prude, but this is how I live now, and I like the way I look, thank you.”
\tThe paladin sighed sadly. “That’s not what I was getting at. You’ve grown into a fine young woman, and maybe you should really think before you call me a prude.” He ended his words in a deeper tone, gaze fixated upon her. Paladins were fairly well-known to act prudish, but Drenan figured his little collection of scrolls would say otherwise. No, he’d never done anything outwardly explicit in front of Lyrah before, but the scrolls were his one guilty pleasure, and he justified them as an alternate route to finding another mate.
\tLyrah vividly recalled the scroll incident from years before. It was a scroll she still had in her bags to this very day, and she’d used it many, many times. “Then what’s the problem?”
\t“I just…” he started, pondering on how exactly to word it. “I guess I’d like to know if… if you acted in such a way during your travels as well. You understand? I mean, taking many mates can have consequences, and to dress in such ways can put you in dangerous situations.”
\tHer azure eyes flickered silently for several moments. He’d assumed that much from just being carefree? It was unlike her father to assume too much, particularly to make incorrect assumptions, but she also knew from experience that when he was wrong, he was usually making his connection out of panic. Her initial anger and offense steadily melted into understanding, and further into her own concern as she eyed her naked father. “Dad…” she started, but stopped and slowly rose to stand in the tub in front of him, softly stride over to his side and sit back down next to him, wrapping one arm around behind his broad shoulders. “That’s not who I am. No one else, except for you now, has seen my body in its natural state, and yesterday was the first time I’d gotten to wear those garments. Out there I have to wear my armor. It’s saved my life, even at the inns, more than once.”
\tLyrah’s little walk, coupled with the gentle jiggle of her curves, nearly took Drenan’s breath away. Her words were gentle and even, almost like music to his ears. “Then… why do you act so freely here, sweetheart?”
\tHer cheeks flushed a bit yet again. “Well, I’m at home. I’m comfy here, and I guess it just hasn’t seemed like a huge deal, not that I’ve been doing it on purpose,” she added. “You’re the one who walked in on me.”
\t“Oh? And who asked me for the wake-up call?” he shot back playfully.
\tA deeper flush invaded her cheeks. “I didn’t think about it. I like to sleep naked, that’s all,” she admitted outright, exhaling heavily at the confession and quickly preparing a dangerous follow-up. “Don’t tell me you never have.”
\tIt was Drenan’s turn to hesitate. She was playing her cards well if she had been responsible for the rug. “Like I said, you should really think before you assume. Of course I have, behind my closed doors.”
\t“Y-yeah?” Lyrah stuttered slightly, the image from the night before becoming her sole focus.
\tHer father was quick to catch her gentle reaction. “Something tells me you already knew that.”
\tShe sunk back down into the water again to leave just her muzzle and head above it. Her arms drifted down to her sides, the left one dangerously close to her father’s erection. “Maybe.”
\t“I know you were in my room last night, Lyrah,” he stated outright.
\t“How? How’d you know from the rug?” she asked, clearly very confused.
\tAs proud as he was of his little bit of detective work, Drenan hesitated to reveal his secret. “I… I was not fully asleep,” he lied. “I saw you come in.”
\tIf Lyrah’s cheeks could’ve gotten any hotter, the tub water would’ve started bubbling. “Oh Earthmother,” she mumbled meekly. “Dad, I am so, so sorry… I… I couldn’t stop myself. Did… did you like it?”
\tHis bluff had been called in the most unimaginable way possible. Drenan had no choice but to ask. “Like what?”
\tLyrah immediately regained at least a semblance of her composure with a soft grin. “You weren’t awake.”
\t“Now hold on. You asked if I liked something. Tell me what it was, Lyrah,” he commanded more than asked this time. He seemed to grow a bit firmer, but he hardly seemed angry.
\t“Mmph…” she mumbled and toyed with the idea of lying herself. She’d already been caught essentially, but he didn’t know what she felt was the worst of it. In worried resignation, she sighed and looked him in the eye. “I’m really sorry, dad. Your bandages needed changing, so I changed them, and to make sure you stayed asleep I… I…” She couldn’t get out the words, and instead simply pointed in the general direction of his submerged member.
\tDrenan couldn’t tell if he should feel horrified or excited beyond all reason. His eyes widened as he looked down where she pointed and back to her, remembering the odd feeling he’d had when he’d awakened. He’d only truly yelled at Lyrah twice in her life, and while his temptation to make this the third existed, he had to know exactly what had happened first. “You need to tell me, Lyrah. What did you do to it?” he asked evenly.
\t“I licked it!” she blurted and dropped her whole face below the water as if to hide herself. Incidentally she happened to open her eyes beneath the water and caught sight of the barely-hidden erection her father sported. With a soft squeak she resurfaced and rubbed her eyes in a panic.
* * * * * 17
\tShe still couldn’t see quite yet, but the feeling of her father’s hand coming to rest on her bare shoulder was clear enough, as was his gentle tone that followed. “I think it’s about time we addressed the elekk in the room.” Her eyes cleared as she turned to look at her softly-smiling father. “I had a hunch that’s what happened, but I couldn’t believe it until you told me outright. Thank you for being honest, but I wish you had told me the truth the first time.”
\t“I-“ she started, but Drenan gently shushed her with another smile.
\t“Shh. Just listen, sweetheart. This isn’t something I’ve ever talked about, or even thought about, since you came home. I am not angry, nor am I disgusted.” In truth, Drenan almost couldn’t believe his own words as he spoke, but sitting there next to his daughter in the bath was perhaps the most peaceful he’d felt since her return, and he couldn’t find the energy to be mad at her. “What you did, sweetheart, was a violation of my personal space without my permission. If it had been anyone else, that person would feel my wrath and just barely live to tell about it, but… well, you’re my daughter. I love you, and that could never change no matter what happened.” The paladin’s expression bordered on nervousness with flushed cheeks, but he was steadfast and tried to say what he’d been wanting to say as best as he could. “There is much that has been on my mind of late, not least of which is yourself, and such thoughts are far different than any I’ve ever had before, Lyrah. Thoughts of love have been ever-present, but… there…” The elder began to trail off and lose his composure, his words fumbling over each other into a nervous, unintelligible fit.
\tIt was here that Lyrah swallowed her own nervousness. She’d listened intently to her father, but she couldn’t help but press a soft finger to his lips. “Dad… I… I think I get it,” she echoed softly. Her eyes quickly darted down his torso and back up to him, or at least of what she could see of him. “If I’m wrong… stop me.” As she spoke, she slowly turned around in the water to rise up onto her knees beside him, and tenderly she raised her right knee and shifted to softly straddle his submerged lap, her rump lightly brushing his erect manhood. His skin was warm to the touch beneath the waves, and slowly she brought her hands up to wrap around his powerful neck in a tender embrace. Her simple words had left him powerless and stunned, and even if he’d wanted to, he couldn’t have stopped her. Her beautiful, innocent-looking face neared his own with a tender smile, and before he knew it, Drenan’s lips were locked in a deep kiss with his own daughter, a much deeper kiss than the pair had ever shared before.
\tBoth tauren adorned their kiss with gentle moans as they gave in to its intense power. Drenan’s muscular hands rose to press against Lyrah’s waist, holding her tenderly against him as they kissed. The sunrise left a series of red and golden hues to stream across their wet fur, and even being out in the open at the time, neither one seemed to care. All that mattered were the two of them, right then and there, breaking the taboo that both had dangerously toyed with since Lyrah’s return.
\tIt was many moments before their kiss broke. Drenan seemed more stunned than anything as he stared into his daughter’s eyes, while Lyrah seemed to be damn near bursting with thrilled excitement. Oddly enough, it was Drenan who broke the silence first. “I guess you do get it, huh.”
\tLyrah giggled somewhat nervously, leaning in and resting her chin against her father’s shoulder as she squeezed him tightly. “I think so, yeah.” Lyrah inhaled the scent of her father softly, nuzzling his furred shoulder lovingly. After a long moment, the young woman felt she had to ask, “So, uh… where does this leave us?”
\tDrenan clung to her as his own mind reeled with conflicting thoughts. Her question was a valid one, as he’d already transgressed beyond comprehension in the eyes of the Sunwalkers. He knew if any of them found out, even if he was just a reserve who had technically retired, they’d strip him of everything they could, and a word to the Warchief could potentially get him imprisonment, if not worse. It was a dangerous game the two of them had initiated. “Well, I guess that depends, sweetheart. Do you love me?”
\tShe almost seemed shocked as she pulled back to look at him again. “I love you a lot, dad. I really do.”
\t“Do you feel you could accept our relationship being more than just as father and daughter?” he asked plainly.
\tThis caused Lyrah to hesitate for the briefest of moments. “I’ve never found another man I thought I could love, so I think I’d be alright with more.”
\tHe cocked a concerned eyebrow. “Just alright?”
\tShe giggled softly. “More than alright. Very happy.” Her words were punctuated with another tender kiss, this time with her little tongue teasing and taunting his lips before the kiss broke.
\tDrenan was fairly unfazed. “Do you think you can live with our relationship remaining a secret?”
\tLyrah cocked a slightly confused eyebrow. “I can’t tell anyone?”
\t“Not unless I know who it is, and I deem them trustworthy,” he explained. “This is a dangerous game we’re bordering on right now, and if the wrong people found out we could both be in some serious clefthoof dung.”
\tThe young woman’s eyes traced over his chest as she considered his words. “Alright. I can do that.”
\tDrenan reached up with a gentle hand to stroke his daughter’s mane with a smile. “And finally, do you think you have the patience to bear with my rules? I don’t consider myself to be any form of expert or even remotely knowledgeable of the kind of relationship we’ve been teasing, but if we start down this path there’s no going back, and I’m certain there will be times where I’ll have to enforce rules to keep us from being discovered. I need to know that you’ll cooperate and be on board with these rules, not only as my daughter, but as…” he hesitated briefly to lean in and kiss her once again with gentle, passionate fervor. A moment later he pulled away, leaving his lips a hair’s breadth from her own. “My mate.”
\tExcited shivers ran up Lyrah’s spine. Her father’s presence, when fully focused on her, was more powerful than she’d expected it to be. Nothing about the moment felt wrong to her. She was reveling in being so close to her father, and the skin-to-skin contact, even with wet fur, was so new to her that she had no desire to let go. He was so accepting of what she’d done, and to even want to take things a step further was beyond her comprehension, but she was in no mood to question it. “Yes,” was all she could squeak out before her embrace tightened on him threefold, her plump breasts squishing against his chest as she showered him with a dozen, excited kisses.
\tDrenan’s attempt at a chuckle came out as more of a soft moan as his daughter lavished him with her touch of flesh and lips. Never in his lifetime, before the past few days, had he ever considered having anything remotely like this with his own daughter, nor could he have ever imagined himself practically initiating the relationship, let alone Lyrah being more than amicable for it. He found himself thrilled to know that she felt about him as he did about her, and as nervous as he was about being found out –both for her sake and his– it was a risk he felt he was willing to take. He loved her above all else, so the addition of a sexual flame to the relationship almost seemed like the natural course. “Ah, and another thing,” he piped up, causing her to cease her barrage of kisses and look at him with a wisp of uncertainty. “If you happen to find yourself wanting to lick me again, I’d much prefer it if I were conscious enough to witness it.”
Lyrah’s cheeks flushed shyly yet again. “Yes, dad.”
* * * * * 18
\tThe sun was above the horizon and making its way higher in the sky while the tauren pair kissed and explored each other tenderly. The fire had gone out beneath the tub a while before, though it wasn’t until now that the temperature drop was noticeable. Lyrah smiled at her father as she reached back behind her, dipped her fingertips below the steadily-chilling water, and wrapped them around his waiting manhood. The shock of the touch brought a deep groan of delight from Drenan, and with a coy smile Lyrah began to stand. It was here that the elder male’s mind shot back to reality.
\tThings felt comfortable between the two, more so than they had since Lyrah’s return home, but Drenan found that there always seemed to be something to worry about. He knew where the natural progression was to go next, and the thought of actually mating with his daughter gave him thrills of anticipation unlike any others, but with such pleasure always came risk. He’d had a child before of course, but Lyrah was still so young and innocent in his eyes, and the thought of her bearing his child gave him mixed feelings. Having another child wouldn’t be so bad for him, but for Lyrah…. He didn’t want the same experience for her that her mother did.
\tPaladins had no knowledge of contraceptives –celibacy was expected more than anything, outside of a life-mate anyway– so Drenan felt he was at something of a loss for what to do, but he had heard whispers years ago that the druids of the Moonglade had a method of their own. Myths cropped up now and again about the druids being exceptionally promiscuous in their little corner of Azeroth, though his trips there had been few and far between. He only knew one druid who seemed trustworthy enough to help him out, though even more concern cropped up as to whether Lyrah would understand. He knew if he wanted to truly be with her though, he needed contraceptive.
These thoughts immediately shot through Drenan’s head, and before she could position herself his hands shot out around her to clamp down onto her plump rump, freezing her in place. Lyrah gave him a confused look at this. “What’s wrong?”
Drenan sighed painfully. “Sweetheart, I love you and I want this more than I can describe right now, but now’s just not the time. The water’s getting cold, and perhaps somewhere more… well, romantic may do the trick? Not to mention the water itself, hot or cold, might make things uncomfortable.”
Her father’s backpedaling caused her to look at him skeptically. “Are you sure?”
Drenan nodded slowly as he brought her back down into his lap for another, loving kiss. “I think tonight might be a bit better. I have to run an errand or two today, but once they’re done we’ll have nothing to worry about.”
Lyrah put on her best puppy-dog eyes as she looked up at him. “Promise?”
“I promise,” he echoed sincerely. His tone was enough to set her at ease and curl up against her father’s chest. The reprieve was brief, however, as the tub’s water had begun to border on chilling one’s naughty bits off. With a tender exchange of smiles Drenan scooped his naked daughter into his arms and carried her back to dry land. All seemed right on their little patch of Azeroth that day as the two dried themselves and each other. As they finished, Lyrah couldn’t help but reach down and give her father’s rump a firm squeeze before dashing back into their house and out of sight, giggling like a little schoolgirl again, though Drenan could only chuckle and give his erection a wistful touch. Damn him for his atrocious pseudo-sense of duty and morals.
\t
\tOnce dry, Drenan scooped up his robes and looked at them for a long moment before simply tossing them over his shoulder. She’d been so free with her own body, so why shouldn’t he? If he was being honest with himself, the open air on his skin felt amazing, even inside the house. As he made his way upstairs he paused outside Lyrah’s door. It was wide open and she was laying on her bed, still fully nude with a wet mane and poring over a familiar-looking scroll. Her long legs swayed back and forth in the air happily, as did her long, little tail. She was humming a tune when he knocked on her door frame. “You have a minute, sweetheart?”
\tHer ears perked up as she grinned at her father, swinging around to sit on her knees on her bed and look at him. “What’s up, dad?”
\t“Well, since I’ll be gone today I was hoping you might be able to manage a couple chores before I get back?”
\t“But daaaaad,” she groaned, dramatically collapsing to the floor and crawling toward him. “I hate choressssss.” As she got closer she performed an exaggerated flop onto her back, breasts swaying as she reached up to playfully, yet gently, touch his remaining erection.
\tThe touch alone was enough to make Drenan inhale sharply, and a moment’s pause was necessary for him to regain composure. “I know, sweetheart. I promise I’ll make it worth your while when I get back.”
\tLyrah sighed with a reluctant nod. She trusted him, if nothing else. “Okay, dad. What do you need?” she asked, her fingertips still curiously tracing the veins along his shaft.
\tHe made no move to stop her, but it made it much more difficult to concentrate. “Well, if you could make the beds today I would appreciate it. And if you’d like,” he paused and leaned over, practically ravishing his daughter’s body with his eyes alone. “Maybe pick out an outfit? Something that accentuates these?” he suggested and reached down to boldly grasp and squeeze her right breast. Things really had changed, and very quickly.
\tLyrah squeaked softly, but happily, at her father’s new boldness. She’d never seen her father as particularly assertive unless there were chores to be done or fights to be fought, but this new side just made him seem all the more masculine to her. She seemed to shrink back on the floor with a timid smile. “Yes, daddy.”
\tAt this he had to shoot her a curious look of his own. “I haven’t heard you call me that since you were three.”
\t“Oh,” she echoed, seeming to grow flustered. “I, well, it just kinda slipped out, and, you, um-”
\t“I like it,” he cut off her stumbling with a chuckle. “And maybe I could get a kiss goodbye?”
\tHer cheeks were more flushed than ever as she hopped to her feet, cutely rising up on the tips of her hooves as her lips met her father’s tenderly. Drenan reached out and pulled her to his chest as they kissed, both tauren moaning softly against one another. “Anything for you… daddy,” she whispered as they broke apart.
\tThe words sent excitement back through Drenan’s spine. He wasn’t expecting his daughter to act so submissively to his wishes, but he found that he was hardly disappointed. He knew she was a strong woman, but to find that she’d do as he asked, and perhaps he alone, was more than tempting. He wondered briefly whether taking advantage of his daughter’s willingness was wrong, but a new thought shoved it far into the back of his mind. “I think I could use another kiss goodbye.” She began to lean in, but he slipped a finger up against her lips before theirs could meet. “Not there,” he instructed gently.
\tLyrah instantly knew what he meant. Smiling, she tiptoed backwards a couple steps before slowly dropping to her knees. His erection was the perfect height in front of her, and the color never left her cheeks as she leaned in to lustfully give the tapered head of his manhood a tender kiss. Her lips pressed against his flesh for a long moment before opening and gently enveloping the first two inches of his length, deeply and wetly suckling on his heated flesh.
\tThe evolution of her kiss was more than Drenan had hoped for, and in response a deep, bull-like groan of delight escaped him, one hand reflexively draping down behind her head as she kissed his length.
\tDespite seeming to last for ages, just a few seconds later Lyrah pulled away, looking up at her father and throwing him a seductive wink. “Have a good trip, daddy. I love you.”
\tAs painful as it was to get such a delicious taste of what Lyrah was capable of, Drenan knew he had to leave soon if he wanted to be home by sunset. He took a deep breath before he reached and guided Lyrah back to standing and giving her a more loving and intimate hug. “I love you too, sweetheart. I’ll see you tonight, and I promise it will be worth the wait.”
\t“I know it will,” she said with a smile, her eyes never leaving him as he walked further past her door.

\tMoonglade was a good few hours’ trip from Azshara. Winterspring was never easy for Drenan’s wyvern to handle, and taking the long way through Ashenvale and Darkshore was dangerous for members of the Horde. The furbolgs were never Drenan’s favorite either, so flying was best in his eyes. The entire trip he couldn’t help but think lovingly about Lyrah. He’d fully given in to the thoughts of being with her, caressing her curvaceous body, and ultimately making love with her, likely for her first time, and his first since she’d been born. He thought to be concerned that he might have grown rusty, but he knew that, being the elder, he had to have an air of confidence about him. He knew what he was doing, and it’s likely that she didn’t, at least to a degree.
\tThe echoes of gentle singing were the first to reach him as he touched down along the edge of the glade’s lake and dismissed his wyvern. The area was rather quiet save for the singing, but a few druids walked here and there or sat and chatted among the leaves. Drenan quietly admired the druids for their free spirits, but he’d always known better than to get too involved among them. He considered himself a tauren of discipline, for the most part.
\tTaking a path northward, the paladin found himself entering the main druid compound, and to his good fortune the first person he caught the eye of was Shele. “Drenan! What a surprise! You never visit me!” she cried and sprinted toward him, trapping him in a sort of bear hug.
Drenan tentatively returned the hug. “Indeed, I do apologize.”
“No need, it’s a long flight for sure,” she added with a sagely nod. Her expression suddenly grew concerned as some particular thought struck her. “Is Lyrah okay? I heard her scream at the Faire yesterday.”
The pair turned away from the compound and began to walk as they chatted. “She’s a bit scratched up, but alright. I had my own fair share of pain,” he added, motioning toward his side between his armor plates. He’d abandoned the bandages before he’d left, as the wound had healed enough to not need them. He knew it’d leave at least a faint scar though.
\t“Oh goodness,” she echoed and gently touched the wound. “Can I get you a salve for that? For her? I know my fair share of alchemy.”
\tDrenan shook his head slowly. “No, no. We appreciate it, but I think we’ll be alright there. I was actually hoping to ask you about something else,” he added a bit nervously.
\tShele cocked a curious eyebrow. “Oh?” was all she said.
\tThe paladin inhaled and exhaled deeply to compose himself. “I was wondering if you knew any… methods of contraception I could use,” he stated more than asked.
\tThe druidess’ look turned curious with a hint of coyness. “Found yourself a lover, hmm?”
\tDrenan narrowed his eyes defensively. “And what business is that of yours?”
\tA hint of a smile crept across her face. “Business that makes me wonder why you’ve rebuffed me for so many years. Suddenly you up and have a girl, and you didn’t even mention her yesterday?”
\t“Rebuffed you?” he asked, genuinely perplexed.
\tShele put on an exaggerated expression of shock. “Drenan! You dense bull! Tell me you’re joking!”
\t“Joking? Do I look that jovial?” he asked curiously.
\tThe druidess just about smacked herself in the face. “By the Earthmother. Drenan, you’re my friend and I’m glad we met when Lyrah was born, but honestly, have you really not noticed me trying to get your attention? I’ve been gardening for you for ages, I’ve made dinner for you multiple times, and nothing?”
\tDrenan shyed away from her in embarrassment. “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize. I’ve always had the utmost appreciation for everything you’ve done, but you never said-“
\t“I never should have had to spell it out for you,” she echoed in frustration, though that coy smile seemed to creep back into existence. “But I’m not surprised. I know you’re not what I’m looking for, hun.”
\t“I’m not sure I understand,” the paladin admitted.
\tShele sighed. “You’re a very attractive tauren, Drenan. I’ve always liked you, but I never could’ve been your life-mate if you’d ever asked. It’s not in my nature.”
\t“Life-mate?” Drenan was thoroughly blown away. “Who said anything about life-mate?”
\t“So. Dense. So dense,” she chided and clicked her tongue. “I just never thought you’d take another mate after your wife passed, hun, but if you are, why not take me for a bit of fun?”
\tColor flooded his cheeks. “I just came to ask about contraceptives, Shele. I appreciate the offer, but my… mate is fairly serious.”
\t“Already!? Drenan, you demon!” she gasped and laughed. “I’ll never understand how paladins function, and don’t get me started on priests. If you’re so serious, surely you wouldn’t mind another child, hmm?”
\t“I really would. She really would,” he said more firmly.
\t“Hmm. Quite frankly, I’m offended,” she pouted and looked up at him. She wasn’t much shorter than he, but it was an inch or two enough to make a difference. “I’m not sure I want to give it to you.”
\tDrenan found himself losing any right to make such a request. “I understand, and I will respect your decision either way, but I’m asking very nicely and both she and I would appreciate it more than I can articulate.”
\tThat damn grin was still on her face. “Well, you have asked pretty nicely. Tell you what, I’ll give you a full vial of my own special mixture –it’s flawless, you’ll have no worries whatsoever– on one condition.”
\tHe immediately grew all the more defensive in posture, and he knew the mischievous druid well enough to know better than to blindly agree. “And what’s that?”
\tShele let out a melodious, sly giggle. “My next visit is in three days to tend to the garden. Once I’m finished, I want to meet your lovely lady, and,” she paused and leaned up toward Drenan, who steadfastly refused to lean away. “I get to see you two put it to good use.”
* * * * * 20
\tThe panic alarms in Drenan’s head were instantly reeling, but his stoic exterior hid them well. “And why would you want that?”
\tShele backed off slightly with a sigh. “Hun, as dense as you are I’m not surprised that you don’t know this. We druids are exceptionally free with our love. We love whoever we please simply for the pleasure of doing so, whether it be each other, the creature denizens of our lands, or any other beings of Azeroth, Alliance or Horde. We thrive on the sexual energy we gain from being so free, and it would thrill me to death to simply watch as you enjoy your mate. I don’t have to have any involvement, but if you want my potions, I want to watch.”
\tDrenan felt at a loss. On one hand he could go seeking another source, but doing so might take more time than he had, and the more inquiries he made, the more suspicion could be garnered. On the other hand he could accept the deal, but doing so would already endanger the relationship that had been just established that morning. The lesser of two evils was difficult for him to swallow, but he knew, to his dismay, what his best course of action was. “Fine. Tell me what I owe you.”
\tWithout skipping a beat, Shele pulled her leafy robes open and withdrew a sizeable crystal vial filled with aqua-colored liquid. “Oh, it’s free of charge hun. All I want is my viewing time in a few days,” she insisted and handed him the vial. “If it’s good enough, I just might be up for another exchange when that month’s supply runs out too,” she added with a sly wink.
\tDrenan inspected the vial slowly. “How do I use it?”
\t“Just take one spoonful every 24 hours, and you’ll never have to worry about mistakes. That should last you a solid thirty days if you don’t spill any,” she assured him with a curt nod. “Oh, but don’t take much more than two in one day. Two is deadly enough, but three could ruin any chance of children ever again. Less than one won’t have any effect at all.”
\t“I’ll keep that in mind,” he assured her before pocketing the vial. “I can’t thank you enough, Shele.”
\t“Don’t mention it,” she added with a light laugh, seemingly well-pleased with their deal. Only a moment of silence ensued before she piped up again, however. “So, who’s the lucky lady, hmm?”
\tDrenan gritted his teeth. “That’s classified. I should be going.”
\t“Oh come now, I gave you that for practically free! The least you could do is tell me about her! What finally pierced the rock-hard heart of Drenan the Valiant?” The druidess began to twirl in front of him playfully, her tail swishing as if to catch his eye.
\tThe paladin remained stern as he pulled his hearthstone from his pack. “We made our deal, Shele. I really need to get back home to Lyrah.”
\tShele’s dance immediately ceased. Her eyes grew wide as she gasped and clapped both hands over her mouth. “Drenan, it couldn’t be.”
\t“What?” he asked innocently, holding back from activating his stone.
\t“No,” was all she could say as she swooped back toward him. “Drenan, even among us druids, mating with offspring and family is severely discouraged, if not frowned upon altogether.”
\tDrenan seemed to grow angry as his tone dropped to a hissing whisper. “It’s not Lyrah!” he lied outright.
\tShele steeled her own gaze this time and respectfully dropped her own tone. “Hun, we both know I’m gonna find out who it is in a few days, unless you never intended to hold up your end of the bargain. I’ve never known you to be even remotely deceitful.”
\tThe male tauren groaned hopelessly and clapped his hand to his forehead for a brief moment before dragging it down his face in frustration. “Look, I’ll be honest with you because I trust you, but you cannot tell a soul. If anyone-“
\tShe quietly fluttered her hands before him to silence him. “Not a word, I promise. I wouldn’t sell you out, not in a lifetime. Just…” she paused and looked at the vial. “Be really, really careful.”
\tDrenan nodded and placed a tender hand on her shoulder. “Thank you, Shele. Honestly. Thank you.”
\tShe seemed to brighten back up again. “Aw shucks hun. It’s nothing.” The paladin smiled and touched the swirled stone, but as the familiar blue light began to glow, Shele piped up one last time. “So, should I… knock extra loud when I come?”
\tThe paladin nearly dropped his stone. He’d honestly thought the taboo would have discouraged the pervy druidess. “You mean…?”
\tShe scoffed. “We have a deal you dumb bull. If anything this’ll just make it even more exciting.”
\t“Right. Exciting. Thanks again, Shele,” he admonished quickly before the blue light overtook him and whisked him far from the glade and the elated tauren.
