close to Ali "Yep. Welcome home, Ali."
Kitch laughed "You are going to have some hot competition now, Donny. Wow! Just wow! I can't believe how hot you are. You make freckles look so hot. You were super cute before but now. Wow!"
Ali leaned toward Trak as her face flamed an even deeper shade of red "Does he have an off button?" she whispered.
"Nope" grinned Trak.
Trak and Donny quietly rode on either side of her as Kitch kept up his commentary all the way back to the main lodges. When they entered the main encampment Kitch enthusiastically noted all the stunned and slack-jawed looks Ali got from the braves as they entered the camp.
Over dinner Ali told grandma she wanted to visit her mortal folks to say goodbye before leaving for college. Grandma agreed on the condition Ali be back before the end of the week and she take two steeds with her, just in case. Ali agreed.
"Ali?" called Donny from outside her lodge. "Ali, we need to talk."
When Ali left her lodge and looked up at Donny he said "follow me."
They left the encampment and walked into the forest a little. Donny started "I heard you are going to visit your mortal folks tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"I will come with you."
"No!"
"Yes, I want to go with you in case you get into trouble" he insisted.
"No! It has been agreed I can go alone" said Ali firmly.
"Ali, you are killing me here. I want you as my girl and I want to protect you" he stated.
"Why?"
"Like Kitch said, there is plenty of interest around you now and it is only a matter of time before some hotheads start fighting over you. Things may get bloody and that can be avoided if you are seen as my girl. No-one will challenge me. I always liked you, Ali. Even before the changes. I have been falling for you and I want you as my girl."
"Three conditions!" she said fiercely.
"Name them."
"One, you do not try to wrap me in cotton wool to protect me. I like my freedom. That means I go to see my family on my own."
"Agreed. What else?" he growled.
"Two, you do not assume our relationship is headed to marriage. I am too young to be making these decisions yet. Let it be based on friendship and attraction. We are honest to each other if we choose to opt out of the relationship at any time. No pressure!"
"Agreed."
"Three, you will teach me how to kiss. Properly!" she said sternly.
At that Donny pushed Ali up against the tree and began kissing her firmly. He lifted her arms around his neck as she hung on for dear life. His tongue teased her lips until she opened her mouth to his. His hard body pushed firmly against hers. Their breathing became rougher as the young couple passionately entwined and lost track of time.
When Donny finally returned Ali to her lodge he was reluctant to let her out of his arms. "I will see you in the morning. I will bring you our two best steeds to carry you. Telegraph us to let us know the day of your return. I will keep a lookout for you. If you are late I will come looking, OK?" he growled.
"Yes sir!" Ali saluted.
"Come here" he said as he cuddled her close. "I will take care of Rom while you are away. I will miss you. All the time you were away keening, I missed you. I was desperate to get to you when the keening was at its worst. I have never felt so helpless and anxious than those days. Hurry back. I love you Ali." he whispered in her ear.
"I know. Your father told me that you loved me on the way to the fortress" she smiled.
Donny kissed her long and slow before he let her out of his arms and into her lodge. Ali lay back and sighed in pure contentment as she drifted off to sleep.
By the time Ali got up at mid-morning, Donny already had the steeds saddled and ready. Food was packed for the journey. Donny lifted her up onto her saddle.
"I will ride with you as far as the forest encampment near the mountain pass. I will wait for word of you return and if
