Dagaa loved the way Providence bit her full lip as he rubbed the stiffness from her legs. Her scent was compelling, making his canines ache in his mouth. If he moved his hands up her leg just a bit further, he could explore her intimate flesh. He wondered how different she would look if he splayed her wide. On the ship he'd briefly seen the red neatly trimmed tuft on her mound, but not the treasures that hid between her thighs.
Human females, at least the one Dagaa had encountered, tended to be outspoken, aggressive and brave. Dagaa couldn't help but wonder if Providence was also as vocal and wild in the bedroom as he'd overheard from Giselle. Was that a human predilection? It certainly wasn't a trait Cadi females possessed. The fact Providence approached, let alone took out two Jurou Biljana amazed him.
Dagaa looked at Madhava, who sat rubbing her back. Dagaa felt a twinge of jealousy as they shared this moment with Providence, but he quickly cast it aside. Madhava rarely showed interest in females, let alone acted on it. He and Madhava complemented each other in so many ways, with various skills, temperament, weaknesses and strengths. Something inside him said that both of them tending to Providence was right. It would probably take the two of them just to keep up with a bold female like her.
Providence attempted to distract them from their pleasant task with questions. Dagaa could see she was becoming uncomfortable with their attention. If he wasn't mistaken, the catch in her breath and the flush of her skin said Providence was just as affected by their touch as he was. Her scent certainly indicated as much.
Dagaa would never force a female, but he did insist she let them care for her. In that they would uphold their oath. The Jurou Biljana's torture had done a number on Providence. Thinking about what the small female had been subjected to made him want to growl.
Dagaa listened intently as Providence described her planet. Her face was so expressive.
"I can see by the way your eyes light up that it must have been a wonderful sight to behold." Dagaa smiled at the dreamy look on Providence's face. "My favorite place to visit is the Primal Forest deep in Vidya Cadi territory. I have not been for a while, but it is like a second home. I love the ancient trees. Some are so large you could easily fit two of our houses inside them."
Thinking about the past while sitting like this on the settee with a female, touching and talking, brought back memories long forgotten.
Dagaa recalled returning home from the first of many particularly arduous and long campaigns. He was tired of war and the nasty business that went along with it. He wanted nothing more than to go to Idida's brother's home to see his intended mate. When he arrived at her home, he found Idida in the garden, wrapped in the arms of a local armigerent. Even now Idida's whispered promises that she would wait for him were like a knife to the gut.
"I've always wanted to visit the Primal Forest, but never could with the war and all. We should make a trip up there sometime." Madhava suggested.
Dagaa pushed aside his morose recollection. It had been a long time since he'd thought about Idida. He'd left her firmly in the past, or so he thought. What happened between them really had been for the best. As a part of Kagan's Anzac army and second in command, Dagaa had been away at war far more than he was ever home. His duty was to his Daimio first and foremost. Besides in the years since there had been no shortage of females that were more than happy to welcome him with open arms, females that didn't offer up broken promises.
"It would be interesting to see trees that huge." Providence agreed.
Providence suddenly looked pensive and a bit sad.
"I can see that something is bothering you. What is it?" Dagaa asked.
Providence pulled her knees up to her chest and curled up between them. She looked so small.
"Just thinking about home." She said with a trembling voice.
Dagaa kept forgetting she had been ripped from her planet. Providence and Giselle were so strong of spirit it was almost easy to forget the unthinkable had occurred to them. Dagaa couldn't imagine being taken across the universe to a planet full of strangers.
"I keep thinking how my dad is probably searching for me even now." Her voice broke.
Dagaa's heart ached at the sound of sorrow in her voice.
"I lost my father when I was a young warrior." Madhava said as he put an arm around Providence and pulled her to him.
She snuggled into the harsh warrior, like it was the most natural thing. Dagaa wanted to offer her comfort too, so he took her small hand in his.
"Tell us about your father." Dagaa encouraged.
"He's in the Air Force like me. He taught me to fly. When I was young, he would find ways to take me on base while my sisters and mother were shopping. I hate shopping." She smiled wistfully. "He taught me perseverance in the face of impossible odds and encouraged me to push my boundaries so that I might learn the true extent of my capabilities."
