The moment we had been eagerly anticipating had finally dawned upon us! It was the night that sparkled brighter than any other, the night when Ykril and I decided to affirm our love under the diligent gaze of Eilistraee. Our hearts had led us to this spontaneous decision after a delightful encounter with a priestess of Eilistraee in the bustling streets of Waterdeep just days prior. Moreover, our newest friend, Ami Mizzrym — a Szarkai mage with an intriguing cold aura — was captivated by our upcoming celebration. With Ykril and I eager to delve into the mysteries of the Szarkai and Ami keen to explore the rich traditions of Eilistraee, we warmly invited her to join us in this momentous occasion. Unfortunately, Inra and Lafeen, whom I had the opportunity to meet at the temple in Waterdeep, were unable to join us. But not only have I been able to make new friends in Waterdeep over the last few months, I was also able to make a commitment of love to my heart's desire in front of my goddess.
Moreover, Ykril has just completed the construction of our new home, and we’ve just settled in with our son. It felt like life had reached its peak of perfection!
Sunih and Miara had joined forces to decorate a unique clearing for our ceremony, and they truly outdid themselves. Much like a human wedding, they fashioned a stunning walkway adorned with purple blossoms, leading to a sacred spot where the priestess stood, the full moon casting its ethereal glow upon Ykril and me for this beautiful ritual.
With a tingle of anticipation, Ykril and I prepared in a nearby tent. We took off our clothing and exchanged rings, which were now shining as a commitment between us. I was absorbed in thought as I looked at my love, marveling a little too obviously at his muscular body, shaped by building our new home.
»You're impossible.« I giggled softly to him as I caught sight of his stiff member.
»What? When I see you naked, it almost happens automatically.« he replied very quietly, as if he was about to sink to the floor in shame.
»Then we should do something about it. You can't go out like that.« I grinned cheekily and snuggled up to him.
He just gave me a lecherous look before grabbing my thighs and lifting me onto his hips.
»The others will probably have to wait a little longer« he breathed and started to kiss me in passion.
Our little escapade was abruptly cut short when Miara's voice sliced through the air from the tent entrance.
»You two are absolutely bonkers. The priestess is already waiting, and you're fucking around.« she huffed, her irritation palpable. Sunih, peeking over Miara's shoulder, couldn't help but whistle in amusement.
»I always knew you had a wild side, bro, but I never pegged you for this kind of passion!«
Caught off guard, Ykril dropped me like a hot potato and turned his back on Miara, clearly flustered.
»What? Wanna join the fun?« I shot back playfully from my spot on the ground, causing Miara and Sunih's eyes to widen in shock as if they’d just seen a ghost.
»You're out of control! Now jump into your robes instead of on top of each other and come out!« she commanded, spinning on her heel and shoving a protesting Sunih out with her.
Then, we emerged from the tent, draped in our flowing white robes.
The atmosphere was utterly spellbinding. The night unfolded like a perfect tapestry, weaving together warmth and a refreshing coolness, with a soft breeze playfully swirling through the clearing. Above, the full moon radiated its luminous glow, illuminating the carefully crafted path below. Guests draped in elegant white robes contributed to the serene ambiance, save for Sanise, who proudly embraced her natural self from the very start. The air was rich with the heady scent of blooming flowers, enhancing the enchantment of the evening. Even Ykril's parents graced the gathering with their presence, though they opted to forgo the traditional robes.
Out of the corner of my eye, a surprising figure caught my attention — Randiirn. I would have expected Nimri as a lizard, but not as a Drow.
»Randiirn« I greeted him cheerfully while hugging him.
»I'm so glad you're here. Without you, the party would be incomplete. But how come?« I asked interested.
»You know how I feel towards you, and even if we would probably never become a couple, all I wanted to do was to be here to support your happiness as a man. So I asked Eilistraee for this single wish.« he said candidly, with his head bowed slightly.
»I had no idea« I replied truthfully, feeling a bit down. This time, it wasn't me who needed my tears dried; instead, I found myself wiping his.
»Thank you for being here.« I gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek and hugged him again. This time a little tighter and longer.
»Randiirn?« Ykril and Miara inquired simultaneously, gazing at us with curiosity.
»Oh, right. You probably know him as Nimri. But it's a long story, and I hope he will be able to tell you by himself.«
They both raised their eyebrows in surprise, and before they could start questioning him, Sanise squealed.
»Who is that and what is she doing here?« she shouted as she pointed her finger towards Ami.
»That, my darling, is Ami.« I replied with a smile as I walked up to both of them and hugged them in turn.
As I embraced Ami, my fingers brushed against the soft fabric of her cloak, noticing a few areas of scaling under it, and I was instantly enveloped by her mesmerizing scent — a delightful fusion of mint, blueberry, and blackberry. It infused the air with a refreshing allure, enhancing her already cool demeanor and making her utterly irresistible.
»Ami is a guest today. So please be nice« I urged Sanise.
»But she scares me. She seems so icy, and her eyes seem to stare right through me, as if she's about to stab me.«
»Mind your manners and cut out the rudeness! No one is going to harm you today.« I chided her.
As the sands of time slipped through our fingers, Ykril and I found us before the priestess, who, in a ritualistic flourish, let her robe cascade to the ground before commencing her spiritual speech. As the ceremony began, Ykril and I let our robes cascade to the ground too, just as tradition dictated. When the priestess flashed us a warm smile and encouraged us to take in our surroundings, we were taken aback to find that nearly everyone else had followed suit, shedding their garments and beaming at us with serene satisfaction. Even Miara, a devoted follower of Lolth who typically held little regard for Eilistraee, embraced the ceremony and joined in the customs with surprising ease. Yet, a distinct expression of disdain glowed in the eyes of Ykril's parents, clearly oblivious to the intricacies of a love-binding ceremony and how it was meant to unfold.
When the ceremony progressed, the priestess radiated an enchanting beauty beneath the moon's gentle glow. When her eyes transformed into a shimmering silver, and she became mooneyed, I felt a surge of certainty — our love had received the divine blessing of Eilistraee.
Despite the watchful eyes I've noticed lurking in the shadows of the nearby woods, I chose to preserve the magic of our moment. We slipped the rings onto each other's fingers, mirroring the tender ritual of a human wedding, savoring the intimacy of our bond, which we sealed with a gentle kiss.
The grand celebrations kicked into high gear as guests donned their immaculate white ensembles, gathering around a cozy fireplace just a stone's throw from the ceremony. Well, almost everyone — Sanise, in her delightfully carefree spirit, decided to revel in her nudist ways, radiating pure joy without a stitch of clothing in sight.
Every detail was meticulously planned for an extravagant banquet. Succulent Rothé steaks, an abundance of fresh fruits and vibrant vegetables, and fine wine were all on the menu. Miara even set aside a special bottle of Gorgondy wine, reserved just for Ykril and me, adding a touch of elegance to the occasion.
Anticipation crackled in the air as the guests eagerly awaited the moment the couple would take their first twirl as newlyweds. Before long, Sanise and the priestess unveiled their instruments, weaving a captivating melody that wrapped the clearing in a magical aura. In a flash, Ykril grasped my hips, guiding me effortlessly through the mesmerizing beat as we danced in perfect harmony with the enchanting music.
But Ykril and I went back to our tent quite early, together with the Gorgondy and some juicy grapes, as we were both incredibly on fire and eager to resume our interrupted intimacy before the ceremony. I quickly tossed aside my white robe and, gazing ecstatically at my husband, made my way to a blanket laid out. It was adorned with enchanting night orchids and lilies, along with a scroll cushion crafted from the finest silk at the top.
My mother always emphasized that I should never let a man come up behind me. She believed that during sex, I would be in a vulnerable position and an easy target for a deadly assault. However, I was still keen to try it out, and if there was anyone I could rely on, it was Ykril. I had turned him down multiple times before when he tried to engage in this type of encounter.
I lay down on my side and bent my right leg to give my lover a luscious glance. As I gazed up at this attractive, bare man, my eyes lingered, lip-biting, shifting to his face, which wore a curious expression.
»Are you sure?« he inquired softly, and a small nod was all it took for him to slide over behind me and press his warm body against mine. As his right hand delicately traveled over my stomach and my mound of Venus, I could feel his warm breath on the nape of my neck. I let out a lustful groan as his lips lightly grazed my neck, which I willingly extended towards him with my eyes shut.
It was a moment of sheer delight, building to an explosive climax that intertwined with his release, filling me with an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
Utterly drained, I nestled onto my side, relishing the warmth of him curling up behind me, his arm wrapping around me in a tender embrace, drawing me closer. My mother had it all wrong. Not every man is a threat lurking in the shadows when I let my guard down. In fact, with Ykril at my back, I felt an unexpected sense of security.
As the echoes of that exhilarating experience lingered in my body, I drifted off into a peaceful slumber, my senses still tingling from the delightful intensity.
