strength,” Zalgar replied, nibbling her chin lightly. His pelvis began to rock into hers rhythmically.
“Stop,” Juliet said, but her body and tone were saying anything but, “We have to hurry…”
“I can make it quick.”
She shook her head, even as he dipped his head and she pushed her chest up into his face. He lifted a hand to pull down on her neckline, kissing down her collarbone before taking a nipple in his mouth. “This is too confusing,” she whimpered, “I’m leaving tonight. And you’re getting married.”
Zalgar stopped, taking his mouth of her with a “pop.” He frowned in confusion. “That’s only more of a reason-”
“I just want to get home, Zalgar,” Juliet begged. She wanted more than that .She wanted him to fuck her. She even wanted him to make slow, sweet love to her. But Juliet needed to get out, and she was afraid that the more attached she got to Zalgar, the more she thought about him moving on without her… The more she wanted to risk her chances here, with him.
He pursed his lips slightly before nodding. “I see,” he replied, “I’ve just been… Never mind. I don’t know what came over me.” Zalgar didn’t set her down, though. He kept Juliet in his arms and continued walking towards the city.
“What are you doing?” she demanded.
“You’re moving too slow,” he said, and Juliet could hear in his detached, business-like tone that she’d hurt his feelings, “If you want to get home so bad, we’ll move faster like this.” Still, she could feel his fingers digging into her flesh, as if drawing power from their shared touch.
It went on like this for longer than she expected. After an hour, Zalgar let her down, and Juliet agreed that her feet felt fine enough to continue on. It grew even quieter between them, but then she reached for his hand as it started to grow dark.
They stayed by the river, finding that there was more light there with the reflection of Rolq’thos’ moon on the water and in the sky. It was a short break that they were taking, hidden by the trees around them and the tall reeds in the water. Juliet tore off a chunk of her jerky, chewing thoughtfully.
“Jahan said that you left the military because of some orders that you didn’t agree with,” she said suddenly.
She looked over at Zalgar, who stared off at the reflection on the water. “Juliet-”
“Just tell me if it’s true,” she said, “You don’t have to say what the orders were. I’m not going to try to get to know you anymore that I already do. What’s the point now, right?” She didn’t mean to sound surly about the last part, but it was something Juliet still had an issue with, even with her planning on saying goodbye shortly. Especially after he saw her cry, Zalgar saw Juliet for who she really was, more than anyone else.
Zalgar took a bite of his own food. Juliet thought for a moment that he was ignoring her, trying to avoid the conversation entirely by not participating in it at all. “They wanted me to kill my father,” he said suddenly.
Juliet’s brow furrowed, and she paused her eating in shock. It wasn’t anything she’d been expecting. “What?”
“He was a supporter of aiding humans, and other species. He wanted Rolq’thos to reveal itself,” Zalgar explained, “And he made the poor decision of letting others hear his opinion. As a commander, I had a reputation to keep and expectations against those that opposed our political leaders.”
The blonde shook her head. “No… Please… Please say you didn’t…”
He turned his head upwards, shifting his gaze from the reflection of the moon to the moon itself. “No, I didn’t. I told my father to run, and I ran too. He was supposed to meet me, but he never did. I waited, even started building that cave.” Zalgar sighed wistfully.
“I thought we could just live off the grid for a while, let the army see how much
