She lifted her hands and placed them on his chest, gently now, and without the desperate touch that she had before.

“Will you stay inside me?"

He thought about saying something Like: Well it'll be tough, but I'LL try to soldier on. It didn't seem quite the time for such things, however. Instead he kept his words simple and honest.

“Of course."

Valise took a breath and swallowed her nerves.

"I was a forest elf once, a long time ago.”

“What changed you?"

“I broke a law. A very important Law of my people.”

“What-" The question that was about to emerge was silenced as Valise placed her fingertip on Gregory's Lips.

“That is a question for another time. I will tell you, I promise, but it causes me a great pain to remember it. I'd rather not endure that memory in such a moment as this." Her fingertip lifted from his lips and she fondly caressed his cheek, feeling the Light grains of stubble that had grown there since his arrival in their world.

He nodded for her to continue as she wished.

“I was sentenced to be an outcast. My immortality was taken from me, along with most of my power. Elves only have their ears clipped when they are branded as traitors to their people. When they can never return." She absently ran her hand through the wisps of hair near to her ear as she spoke.

“I wandered for a while, looking to the old forests further north in the hope of finding one I could call home. None of their spirits accepted me. So I ventured further south and found Embervine and the orcs. Bolut took me in when I showed him my skill with alchemy. And now I am here." She slowly swayed her hips from side to side to emphasise exactly where she was.

“I'm sorry." There was little else that Gregory could think to say.

“As I said, that was a long time ago. My life has changed since then and I am content with my place here. No orc cares if an elf is an outcast as long as she can be helpful. The spirits of their jungle won't accept me, but they are content to leave me in peace rather than drive me away. It is more than I could hope for. What's more, this life of mine has gotten significantly more enjoyable since I visited you today." She wiggled her eyebrows in a somewhat-uncharacteristically playful manner for the usually serene woman.

“I'm glad to do my part." He laughed through the words and then suddenly fell silent as a thought struck him. "Valise, just exactly how old are you?"

“Three hundred and fifty six." She was slightly nervous about voicing her true age, but that fear was soon quelled when she felt Gregory's length twitch inside her. Apparently his taste for older women matched that of powerful orcish ones and nubile youths.

“I was immortal for nearly three hundred years and now, even without my power, I age much slower than orcs or your own kin."

“Well then, I've got my work cut out for me, don't I?" He Lowered his upper body down to rest back on the bed, amongst the soft furs.

“How so?" Valise blinked with confusion.

"Well, by the sounds of things you've had a truly terrible ordeal that lasted for decades. It's probably going to be pretty tough to even out all that pain with some much needed pleasure." His hands came to rest upon her bare hips as he Looked over the alluring beauty of the sensual woman.

“Oh? And you think you're up to that task, do you?" She voiced a playful challenge and spread her hands over his tight, powerful physique.

“I do. Unfortunately, my doctor tells me that I should get some rest right now, so I can't really get started right away," he teased.

“Really? Well your doctor also senses that you've gotten quite tense again. She should probably take care of that for you. You need to get better, after all, if you're going to take on such a quest as making up for all the time I've lost.”

Gregory grinned up at her as she began moving upon him once again, grinding her hips slowly to drive him along her snug sheath. He saw her eyes close as she gave over to the pleasure of his cock as it ignited fresh new fires of bliss inside her. His last words to her before he gave over to that sensual rhythm were simple, honest and Loving.
