A Wolf's Howl, A Fairy's Wing Chapter 770 - I made the damn decision!*

Shivering with frustration and need, Naeku groaned with annoyance in Erik’s arms. Her hands remained bound behind her back, but she could easily break free if she wished. They were there because it was fun to pretend, but nothing actually stopped her from freeing a hand to satisfy herself, rather than play Erik’s gas.

Of course, she didn’t, and there were several reasons for that. For one, she knew it would disappoint Erik, and for two, she did know a decision needed to be made about this, and perhaps subconsciously she wanted Erik to force her hand like this. For three, her hand was nowhere near as good as her husband’s pole.

Yet, perhaps the main reason she didn’t ignore him and satisfy herself was that she simply didn’t really think of it. Her mind was occupied by the desire to start having sex, the idea of her helplessness in Erik’s arms, and also the question he posed her.

"Can’t we just.. Ugh... have sex now...?" she groaned, her hips lightly bucking against the pole sticking out from between her legs—this being essentially the only movent she had access to.

"No," Erik answered sternly even as he pulled and groped her breasts with the intention of bringing both pleasure and pain. "Co on, Naeku. I’m sure you already know what your heart is telling you. Now you just have to accept it, whatever that is."

Although Erik truly thought that, he didn’t actually know which way Naeku would swing. In his opinion, she might swing either way—accepting their apology or rejecting it—but he didn’t think she’d regret whatever decision she made. He only thought she’d regret not making the decision before they left the city.

In his opinion, now was the ti for her to either start repairing the relationship, or cut ties with them for good and stop letting it affect her.

"Hnn," Naeku uttered a frustrated moan at both his touch and stubbornness. "Do you— Do you have a preference?"

"? Why?" Erik asked with genuine confusion, even stopping his hands for a mont.

Naeku shrugged and looked embarrassed. "Because you have plans for Azania, right...?"

First blinking, Erik then started to chuckle and resud his fondling. "Hehe, it’s nice that you’re thinking of , Naenae, but this decision has no impact on my plans. Just follow your heart."

Naeku released another groan, where Erik actually felt and heard so disappointnt in her voice and through their bond. Perhaps she’d been partially hoping he’d make the decision for her.

Silence followed for a while, during which Naeku wrecked her frustrated mind for answers on what she wanted. She knew Erik would feel through their bond if her answer was genuine or just designed to get out of this, so she needed to actually squeeze the truth out of herself.

Erik’s hands never stopped in the anti, driving her further up the wall, but also giving her increasingly powerful incentive to find the answer.

"Huff.. Oof..." she panted, her body tensed, her eyes wild. "T— They betrayed... my family... my people!"

Erik nodded seriously. "That’s true. Though they did it to keep their own people safe."

Naeku glared over her shoulder. "W— Whose side... huff... are you on?!"

"Always yours, my love," Erik chuckled, lightly kissing her neck. "Just offering so perspective while you think."

Scoffing, Naeku looked away, pretending to be annoyed even as a smug smile graced her lips. Monts later, she continued. "E— Even if... that’s true... hah... it was... shortsighted! Nobuntu... didn’t trust us!"

Erik understood what she ant and nodded. "That’s also true. The hunters would have gotten to Azania after dealing with Enkare Nkai. If Nobuntu was afraid to leave her people in Azania out of fear of reprisal while she was away fighting with the Enkarians, she could have started a mass-exodus to join the Enkarians."

Gliding one hand down, he started gently fingering Naeku. "If she trusted you, she would have known you’d welco both her and her people with open arms. If you lost the war, the end would co faster, but it would have co in Azania, anyway."

"Hahyeah!" Naeku cried out her answer when his fingers invaded her. Though, then she quickly deflated a little. "Although... a mass-exodus... probably would have been... hah... opposed by the other leaders... of Azania. There’s no... huff... telling if they could have... done it. Plus... it’s their land, Enkare Nkai is not... I would prefer to... die on my own soil, too!"

Erik smiled at Naeku now taking their side. Although he didn’t care what choice she made, he was glad she wasn’t blinded by anger to the point of ignoring all context. "That’s also true," he nodded. "Perhaps she did trust you, but simply had other concerns."

Naeku saddened a little more, but Erik’s efforts didn’t allow her to get absorbed in her thoughts. Rather, they forced her thoughts to keep moving.

A few monts of silence later, only interrupted by Naeku’s moaning and puffing, she suddenly muttered: "My mother..."

"Hmm...?" Erik humd curiously. He rembered Nobuntu had been good friends with Naeku’s mother, as they’d grown up near each other. Of course, that was before the awakening happened and Azania even ca to exist.

"She— She would have... wanted ... to give them... a second chance," Naeku whispered, a little unwillingly.

Erik didn’t answer, leaving that statent in the air. He’d never t Naeku’s mother and, frankly, neither had Naeku... but he didn’t say that. Naeku had surely been steeped in stories about her mother over the years, so she probably knew her pretty well, regardless.

Another few monts of silence followed, until Naeku suddenly breathed a deep sigh, seemingly letting sothing go. "F— Fine, I’ll... hah... I’ll give them... another chance. I’ll... try to... huff... repair my relationship... with them..."

Erik grinned proudly—not at the decision she made, but at the fact she made a decision. "Good! So it shall be then. We’ll need to discuss how to approach them and things of that nature, b—"

"Later!" Naeku growled over her shoulder, glaring at him. "I made the damn decision, so fuck ! A— And do it as roughly as you did Leia!"

Grinning, Erik easily agreed. "Fine, I suppose you’ve earned it."

Naeku’s eyes lit up with relief, but before she could answer, Erik pushed her forward and allowed her to fall face-first onto the bed, since her arms were still bound.

"Ah!" she yelped, but didn’t care—she was too horny to. As soon as she was face-down-ass-up, she started wiggling her butt in Erik’s direction, and he didn’t waste any ti.

"Leave the cuffs on, or I’ll stop," he grunted, and pushed himself inside her with one stroke. At the sa ti, he grabbed her incredibly long hair and pulled her upper-body up until it was hovering over the bed. If she wanted it like Leia, then she’d get it.

"Aaaahnnn, yessss, Sirrrr!" she moaned deliriously, a silly grin splitting her face. She was too horny to care about the pain and, undeniably, even enjoyed it a little.

Like that, they spent another hour actually focusing on the sex, during which Erik fucker her into fainting, just as she’d wanted.

Afterwards, he fell asleep as well, with Naeku in his arms.
