Jasper took my hand and led me down the hall. I wondered where he was planning on taking me at this time of night. We went out to the balcony and down the stairs. He was taking me to the waterfall.

The night air chilled our breath as we walked across the field. It was once lush and green, but now all the trees had turned colors of red, orange, and purple. With each gust of wind, leaves circled around us.

I looked up to the sky and saw the moon was full. Oddly, it had an amber hue. The ripples in the water reflected its light. The sound of the falls echoed around us. We sat at the edge of the water to watch the night sky.

The sky was so clear and twinkled overhead us. I watched for a long time. I slide my hand over to find Jasper's. A few moments went by, and a star glinted across the sky. I looked over to him to see if he saw it as well.

At that moment, I realized he had been admiring me this whole time. He smiled at me softly. Despite his tusks, he was so charming. He propped himself up on his elbow and grazed my forearm with his fingertips.

He took his shirt off and pulled me onto his lap. He pressed his lips hard against mine and kissed me passionately. We were in our own world, surrounded by starlight.

He pulled me to my feet and got a grip on the back of my dress. He gave a tug, tearing the lacing open.

"Jasper." I gasped.

"I'll get you a new one." He muttered, pressing his lips back on me.

"But someone might see us," I whispered.

"My men know better than to look at my woman" He chuckled.

He pulled my dress down and let it fall around my feet. He admired my body before pulling me against his. His warmth was so inviting against the night air. I pressed my breasts against him, and he continued kissing me passionately.

Jasper explored my body with his rough hands. My breast tingled and grew hard from the cold. He must have noticed because he leaned my back against a nearby boulder and cupped my ass to lift me up a little until my breasts met his lips.

I gasped when he began suckling at my nipples. He slid his hands down my thighs to get a better grip on me; He pinned me against the boulder and wrapped my legs around his waist. I ran my fingers through his thick hair and across his broad, muscular back.

The place between my legs began throbbing with a heartbeat of its own. My body screamed for Jasper's touch.

"Jasper..." I begged him.

There was no way he didn't feel the throbbing between my legs against him. I needed him; I wanted all of him. He got his arms around my thighs again and lifted me even higher. He sat me on his shoulder and stuffed his face between my legs.

He teased me at first by gently sliding his tongue between my flesh but not touching the most sensitive part. I pressed against his force, begging for more. He plunged his tongue into me and wrapped his arm around the top of my thigh to massage me with his thumb.

Wet noises and gasps of pleasure interrupted the peace around us. Jasper finally gave all his attention to the most sensitive part. It was going to happen again. All that pressure began building inside of me, begging for escape.

"Please, Jasper."

He tightened his grip on me; his powerful neck flexed each time he swallowed my wetness. My thighs gripped him tighter as my toes curled. I'd surely smother him.

I cried out, finally being pushed over the edge. I didn't think it possible, but it was even better than the night before. He slid me back to the ground. My legs were still wobbly as the sensation vibrated throughout my body.

He laid me on the ground and positioned himself over me. He undid the buckle on his pants. His member burst forth even angrier than it had been last night. He pressed it between my legs, causing my body to shudder.

His flesh was so hot. My heart began racing as he pressed it against my entrance. He pushed a little, but it didn't go in. I was too tight and nervous.

"Jasper," I whispered shakily.

"Is something wrong?"

"I... we can't."

He stopped and looked at me with concern in his eyes. He nodded and kissed me gently in response.

"I've always believed this should wait until marriage," I said, feeling guilty. I didn't know if what we had done was wrong. It felt so good to give into the urge.

"Then I'll make you my wife." He said softly.

I stared at him in shock. I had only just accepted my feelings for him. Now he has marriage on his mind. I couldn't deny it; I couldn't imagine being without him. I had worried so much about him when he was gone.

I didn't answer at first because I didn't know how serious he was. I just looked at him wide-eyed, trying to decide what to say.

He looked more serious this time. "So, is this Orc good enough for a princess's hand?" He smiled shyly.

I had never seen him so vulnerable before. I think this was the first time I had ever seen him nervous. He was clearly serious about it. He gazed into my eyes, waiting for me to give him an answer.

"On one condition," I said

He raised an eyebrow.

"You have to promise me you won't go back to the war until you are better, and you have to tell me when you're going. You scared me to death this morning." I said sternly

He leaned forward. His lips almost touched mine. "I give you my word Brenna Bloodborne."
