The softness of the light as it streamed through the window on her naked form.

The softness of her flesh in that limited light.

The softness of her curves as his eyes traced a line from her shoulder to her wonderfully round derriere.

It was a pleasant change of pace from the hardness that had dominated his existence over the past few months.

Softness was the only thing on his mind when he looked at her, with only one exception.

The hardness of his cock as it sprang to life at the sight of her.

It was a refreshing change from the difficulties that had filled Adrin's life over the past few months. The journey had been long and challenging, and on certain days, he doubted whether he would ever return. He was uncertain if he would once again be able to lie next to the woman who now lay peacefully sleeping.

Adrin felt the tightness in his chest ease just a little bit as he watched Kaela sleep, and he felt himself relax more than he had in years as he slipped back into slumber with her in his arms. Adrin rarely enjoyed softness, but the warmth of Kaela's body was a luxury he would not deny himself. He savored the feeling of the heat radiating from her skin, seeping into his chest and warming his core. He basked in the heat from her body, warming his legs and feet, making them feel more alive than they had in weeks.

Adrin smiled as he remembered how the warmth of Kaela's mouth had brought him back to life the night before. The feeling of her tongue tracing along his cock had been delightful. Still, nothing compared to the sensation of her hot mouth enveloping his entire length. It had been exquisite. Her lips were soft, but there had been nothing soft about the way she sucked on him. Her eagerness to please had no bounds.

Adrin traced a finger along Kaela's arm and watched goosebumps rise in response. His hand skimmed across her skin to her shoulder and down her side, caressing her curves and stopping at her hip. He moved his hand lower and stroked the back of her thigh. Her brown eyes fluttered open, and she smiled as she turned on her back and looked at him; her long, dark brown hair spilled out around the pillow.

Kaela's smile was so beautiful that it made him question everything. For too long, his life had been a daily struggle for survival. It felt like the entire world conspired against him, one hardship after another. For a time, he wondered if it was all a mistake. Perhaps he should have accepted the life offered to him, living a simple existence as a blacksmith, farmer, or merchant. But the truth was that if he hadn't chosen the life of a mercenary, he would never have met her. During his journey, at the darkest of times, he would hear her voice and feel her touch in his thoughts, giving him strength and solace. Now, as he lay next to her, Kaela looked up at him with eyes as deep as the night sky, and all he could think about was how beautiful she was and how much he desired her.

As a mercenary, he never knew what dangers he would face or when they might arise. Some days, he was forced to fight for his life, and some nights, he spent awake, staring into the darkness and listening for the sounds of enemies. This was a reprieve from the stresses and worries of daily life and the uncertainty of each new day. The warmth of the morning sun was soothing, and the silkiness of Kaela's skin was a welcome relief from the world's harshness.

Adrin's hand continued its travels, gliding across Kaela's stomach and up to her breasts. He traced his fingers along her curves and caressed the supple skin. She was delicate yet pliable, her body molding itself to his.

"Good morning, my Master," Kaela said softly. She was warm and velvety; she smelled sweet, warm, and succulent. Her smile was like the first rays of the sun after a stormy night. She was so different from his usual companions. She was not a hardened mercenary or a battle-scarred veteran. She was not a woman who could handle herself in combat. Nor was she a street-wise whore he used on those nights during short stays in some random city. Kaela was a delicate flower, a fragile thing that could be crushed with the slightest careless action. She was his little blossom. She was the opposite of all the hardness that existed in his life.

The hardness of the road on which he had traveled.

The hardness of his horse beneath him.

The hardness of the steel that protected him from enemy blades.

The hardness of the armor he wore and the hardness of his sword.

It was refreshing to have a moment of softness when he could let his guard down and relax. The long journey, the constant danger, the stress of constantly looking over his shoulder and remaining alert were exhausting. The warmth of her body against his was like a soothing balm for his soul.

"Good morning, my little blossom," Adrin whispered as his hand cupped her breast and gently squeezed it. Her nipple hardened, and he rolled it between his fingers, teasing her until she gasped.

"Did you sleep well?" Kaela asked, her voice warm and raspy.

"I did," he replied. Adrin was enchanted by how her body molded to his, which made him feel like they were one. He could lose himself in her flesh's warmth and suppleness and forget the world's harshness outside. She felt like home.

Kaela's hand traced his muscular arm, gently pulling him into her. Her lips were warm and silky, and her kiss was so tender that it made him forget his fears and doubts. He felt safe, and all the hardships and worries of the world melted away as she kissed him.

"What's the plan for today, my Master?" she asked.

"This," he whispered, his voice low and deep as he kissed her softly once again. "We have plenty of time, and I am in no hurry to leave."

She nodded and wrapped her arms around him.

"Then let us enjoy every moment," she whispered.

Adrin's body was strong and muscular, and his skin showed the scars of his journeys through the years. Her fingertips brushed over the raised marks, feeling the rough texture. His body was solid and unyielding, his muscles tight and toned. He was a warrior, a mercenary, and a killer. She knew that his body was capable of great violence.

Her fingers trailed lower, brushing against the coarse hair on his stomach. He was not a handsome man, but there was something attractive about him. He was strong and rugged, his features chiseled, his jawline square, and his lips full and sensual. She took note that he needed a shave. His short beard was coarse and bristly, and his eyes were piercing blue. He looked like a man who could command respect.

She smiled and pulled him closer, his weight pressing against her. She sighed as he kissed her neck, his lips trailing along her collarbone. She tilted her head back and arched her body, her hips lifting and pressing against him.

"I will take care of you, Master," Kaela whispered. "Can we make love before breakfast?"

Adrin was not hungry for food, only the carnal hunger of his needs.

"I'm starved," he whispered, his lips traveling up her neck, nibbling at her ear.

"I'm starving," Kaela corrected with a sigh of longing. "I am yours, my Master. Please, fuck me and fill me with your seed. Show me the power of a man."

Adrin's eyes widened. He could see the need in her gaze, half-lidded with desire. Her breath came in short gasps. She was desperate for him.

"You shall have everything I have to give, my little blossom," he promised.

He slid his hand lower, running his fingers along the smooth skin of her inner thigh. He felt the wetness between her legs, his fingers brushing against her moist folds.

"You are so beautiful," he murmured.

Kaela sighed and shifted her hips, trying to get his fingers to touch her more intimately.

"Please," she begged.

"Please, what?" Adrin teased, his lips brushing against hers.

"Please, my Master," Kaela whispered.

Adrin's fingers slipped between her wet folds, stroking her sensitive bud.

"My little blossom," he whispered.

Her hands roamed over his back, her fingers digging into his skin. "I love the way you call me that."

"Because you are my little blossom. My delicate flower."

He moved his hand, his fingers tracing along her slick folds, his thumb stroking her swollen bud. She moaned softly, her body shuddering with pleasure.

"Do you like that?" he whispered.

"Yes," Kaela sighed.

Adrin continued to tease her, his fingers exploring her moist depths.

"I want you inside me," Kaela whispered, her hands grasping his hips and pulling him closer.

Adrin shifted, his weight settling onto her, his erection pressing against her.

"I'm not sure I can control myself," he whispered huskily.

"Then don't," Kaela replied, her voice barely audible, "I am yours to do as you wish."

"You don't know what you're saying," Adrin said, his voice hoarse.

"I know exactly what I'm saying," she whispered. "Please, Master, use me."

He groaned and pushed his cock into her, her wet heat enveloping him.

"So warm and tight," he moaned.

She moaned softly, her hips rising to meet his thrusts.

"Oh, Master," she gasped, "You feel so big...so good."

"Yes," Adrin whispered.

"You are my everything," Kaela whimpered, her body writhing underneath his weight.

"And you are mine," he grunted, his hips thrusting into her.

Her body responded to his touch, her hips meeting his rhythm, her breath coming in short gasps.

"More, my Master," she moaned. "I want more. Give me all of you."

Adrin increased the pace, his cock sliding in and out of her, her body rocking with the motion.

"I'm so close, Master," Kaela whispered, her voice ragged. "Oh, please, don't stop."

Adrin lost himself in the pleasure, his senses overwhelmed.

"Cum for me, little blossom," he growled, his cock slamming into her.

She cried out, her body arching, her eyes rolling back in her head as she climaxed.

"Adrin!" she gasped, her body trembling, her nails digging into his skin.

He could feel her walls clenching around him, the sensation driving him over the edge. He buried his face in her neck, his lips brushing against her.

"I'm coming," he groaned, his body tensing as he came, his hot seed spilling into her.

"I love you!" Kaela cried, her legs wrapping around his waist, pulling him into her. Her body convulsed with the force of her orgasm.

They clung to each other, their bodies shaking with pleasure.

"I love you, too," Adrin gasped.

"You are my everything," she breathed.

Adrin lay next to her, his breathing heavy, his heart pounding. He closed his eyes and basked in the warmth and comfort of her presence.

"My little blossom," he whispered. He held Kaela close and caressed her back as she recovered from the intensity of her release. She felt so small and delicate in his arms, vulnerable and exposed.

"I missed this," Kaela sighed. "I don't like it when you leave me for so long." She murmured, her head resting on his chest.

"The journey was dangerous, and I wanted you to be safe," Adrin replied. "I am sorry I have left you alone for so long."

"I was worried, Master," Kaela said, her voice soft and vulnerable.

"I'm sorry. I will try not to do it again."

"You can't promise me that," Kaela sighed. "But thank you for trying."

"I can promise that I will always come back to you," Adrin said, his words sincere. "I will never abandon you."

Kaela snuggled closer and sighed contentedly.

"Thank you, Master," she whispered. "I only ever dreamed of feeling like this. I love you."

"I love you, too, my little blossom."

Adrin could feel her soft body pressed against him, and the scent of her skin was intoxicating.

"I should prepare your breakfast," Kaela said, breaking the silence. "I am certain that you are hungry," she said with burrowed brows.

"No," Adrin said, his voice firm. "I'm not hungry. You are all I want."

Kaela sighed.

"As you wish, Master," she murmured. "I am yours."

"That's right, my little blossom," Adrin whispered, his lips brushing against her neck, sending shivers down her spine.

Kaela was a flower, a delicate blossom, fragile and vulnerable. Adrin would not let her wither away and die. He vowed he would do whatever was necessary to keep her safe. To keep her alive.

Even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

Adrin would never let them have her again.

Never.
