Here we are))

Byrr
I chuckle and intertwine my fingers with hers. “Well, I’m just naturally smart that way.” She squeezes my thigh and a grin slowly covers my face, knowing where she’s headed.

“Warmer how?” I ask innocently, trialing my hand down to caress her breast under all our furs.

Shila
He keeps... touching me. But he doesn’t say a word. He looks around, at my little brothers and sisters, releases my back only to smooth the furs at my shoulders.

I could get used to that, I think despite myself. I hate myself for thinking it as soon as I do. I don’t want this kind of responsibility. I am happy as can be to live and die with my family, barren and childless, a hunter to the end. But sitting in the cave trying four hundred different ways to bear a child... As soon as Kah becomes my mate, I am nothing more than a mother-to-be. My eyes fall on my sister, remembering her gift to the snow man this morning. Why didn’t he choose her? I glance back up at him, almost asking. But I refrain. Maybe I’ll invite him hunting with me.

And tell him what he wants is my sister.

Rea
His hand dips below the layers of furs until he touches my swollen breast, cupping the weight in his palm. I shudder happily. Then I meet his gaze with half lidded eyes. “If you’re so naturally smart, then you should know exactly what I mean,” i challenge my lifemate eagerly.

Kah
i bow my head respectufully to her family "I... will return to my hut. Shila, you are welcome to come, or stay, celebrate, in any way you see fit." my words are kind, inviting her to find a nice boy or girl to play with, its not unusual for life mates to be partners more than lovers...its not unusual the other way around either. I would like to drag her back with me for all the good it would do me. I knwo better. In a moment of weakness I trail a lare finger over her jaw. "I am happy you accepted my request, any way you choose to honor it." I whisper so maybe just the two of us can hear. Then...it would not be wrong to say I flee.

Byrr
I grin and kiss her for a long moment, my hand traveling downward. “Who’s the smart one now?” I murmur, teasing her.

Shila
I raise an eyebrow, just listening, until he leaves. I expected to have to challenge him. I expected tension and the disappointment and heartbreak of my family when everyone realizes I can’t bear a child. More than that, I don’t want to bear a child. That’s what will really shock them all.

Although... I doubt anyone can picture me raising children. I stare after him, not sure what to do or where to go. My family watches me carefully, so finally I follow, if only to be out of their gaze.

“Kah,” I call after him, matter-of-fact. “I want to speak to you.”

Rea
I purr in ecstasy. The tip of my tongue wets my lips slowly, and I lean in to touch my mouth to my lifemate. My own hands grope his hardened body and my body flares to life under his touch. My belly burns and the flesh between my legs throbs with need for my mate. I moan into his heavenly mouth.

(So these are the last like page of posts. So far on plot we were thinking (I believe) that things are getting really rough up here in the North and nobody can have babies. Somehow, our tribe's new leaders Shila and Kah are going to decide that they've got to move South... With help from the snow man XD)

Yeah that sounds about right! And I think it’s your turn to post for Byrr. Also, did you want to start Sahna and Dante or want me to?:)

I can since my post is next! Also I'm sure it was autocorrect's fault but his name was Dakre haha.

Dakre
After waking up from some particularly insightful dreams, I feel I should check in on Sahna again. This is how I go about my days; what the dreams say, I do. I throw a fur over my shoulders, already protected against the cold for the most part by my charms and herbal spells. I am starting to get low on stores of herbs, though. The snows have made it difficult to find anything living out there, even plants that usually thrive growing under the ice.

I bring a little pouch full of an herb mixture that I usually throw together for Sahna, for all kinds of different things. At first, it was for fertility. Now, I just throw together some of the smells and tastes I know she likes.

It doesn't take long to get to her cave, and I call out when I arrive so as not to sneak up on her. "Sahna?" I call out. "I brought you a gift."

Byrr
I kiss her ravenously but my touch stays gentle, caressing her breasts and hips and thighs. She moans and I start to melt into her embrace, brought back to the night we created this new life. It fills me with heat and passion to know that our love brings hope into this cold, frozen world.

Damn u autocorrect -_-)

Rea
I whimper softly as he strokes my sensitive breasts. Shrugging out of my furs I throw my leg over my lifemate to straddle his hips. My hands stroke down his chest as his fingers run over my thighs. I shudder. Then I lean in for another kiss, holding his face to mine and nipping at his lips playfully. Stroking his jaw my fingers stroke back to tangle in his hair. I moan into his mouth and arch into him.

Sahna
I sit in my room off the cavern entrance, the threshold covered by a thick bear skin to keep out the wind. Getting a large stick balance between two walls I throw one of the hides over the stick so it can dry. A small fire crackles in the corner of the room. Then I hear Dakre’s call and call back to him, “In here!”

Byrr
She throws her leg over my hips and I grip her thighs, letting her take charge, biting my lips and knotting her fingers in my hair. I groan and lift her gently, shifting underneath her so she doesn't trap my cock between us. That would hurt.

Dakre
I follow her voice and smile when I see her. "Warm in here, for once," I say with a grin. "Here." I hold out the pouch and shrug off my fur. "It's just a little something I thought you'd like."

Rea
I wiggle my hips eagerly over his, trying to guide his member to me. My womanhood throbs, the inside of my legs becoming slick. I open up a little more so he slides in easier. A low, but high pitched moan escapes my lips. “Byrr...” I murmur breathlessly in between breathless kisses as my hands grope his ass and his thighs.

Sahna
I take the pouch from him with a small nod, thanking him. I sip the delicious concoction, sighing in relief at the familiar buzz and burn in my throat. “Yeah. Even way back here it’s been impossible to keep a fire going. Last night I didn’t bother,” I sigh, sitting by the fire beside my only friend. “Honestly, in not even sure why I try to do anything anymore. No matter what, it seems the gods are against me,” I confess to him under my breath.

Byrr
Unable to control myself, my hips buck up as she sinks into my cock and I moan. When she says my name, a shudder runs through me. I start to thrust gently, sliding my hands back up her body to rest on her waist.

Dakre
I smile knowingly and sit down with her. “The gods are never with or against us. They test us to make sure we’re worthy. If we prove them right, then things go easier. All this cold and suffering is just another test, to see if Kah is strong enough to lead us.” I almost burst out laughing when I remember his offer to Shila. I doubt she’ll ever accept. “And Shila too.”

Sahna
I snort and look at him. “Dak, What if there are no gods? What if it’s really just us stuck in the middle of this wasteland with only ourselves to rely on? I mean think about it. We survive day to day, crisis through crisis, praying to a god who may not even exist and expecting him to fix everything while people die and women remain barren! What sense does that make?” I blurt out, fed up with all of this “god” business. I’m standing now, staring deeply into Dakre’s gaze.

And before I even realize it, the words are out - beyond the point of no return.

“There is no god.”

Rea
I cling to my husband as the warmth of his body melts away the cold. My breath catches with another sharp thrust upwards. Arching forward I throw my head back and cry out my mates name once more, my heels digging into his hips. My walls tighten to squeeze him, slowing his thrusts for the moment.

Dakre

I let her yell, raising my eyebrows in surprise, but I don’t think there’s much truth to it. I doubt she really means this either, so I cross my arms until she finishes. I step closer and lay a hand on her arm. “Then there is no god,” I agree with her calmly. I mean, of course there are gods. Who else would send me visions? But for Sahna’s sake... “now what?”

Byrr

Her walls tighten and I groan loud and long, desperate to thrust again, to feel her pull me in and grip my shoulders as we fuck. “Rea-“ I can barely speak as I lift her by her waist to continue.

Sahna
I pull my arm out of his hold and cross my arms over my chest. Dakre’s a horrible liar. “Don’t lie to me just for my sake. I know you don’t believe me,” I reply coldly and spin on my heel, ducking into another cavern to be by myself. The hide covering the opening falls back into place behind me as I get another fire going.

It doesn’t hurt that he doesn’t believe me - what hurts is that he tried to lie about it. I would’ve thought we’d know each other long enough that lying wouldn’t be a concern.

Rea
I shudder as he thrusts up into me. I squirm on his lap, digging my nails into his shoulder as I climax. I cry out, riding it out on him as he continues to fill me. I bury my face in his neck, panting breathlessly.

Dakre
“Sahna-“ I call after her, sighing. I follow her without asking, sitting down across from her. “I didn’t lie. Maybe for you there are no gods, but how can I accept that? Maybe the gods are only here for me because I know they are. You know I can’t believe that when they send me signs it means nothing. And I know you can’t believe that everything I am is fake.” I touch her arm, making her look at me. “I know you’re tired of this. Frustrated. Angry. I wish I had an answer. But they tell me what they want me to know, not what I want to know. Someday, they’ll want me to know why we die or children forsake us. For now, we survive as best we can.”

Byrr
She knows my body and I know hers and I shout in ecstasy as she grabs my shoulders, shudders harshly, and rides my cock till I’m finished. She leans closer and I kiss her forehead gently. “I love you,” I whisper.

Rea
I kiss him sweetly and nuzzle his cheek as I stroke his hair back. “I love you more, my mate. You and this child of ours,” I murmur and touch the swell of my belly. Easing myself off him I curl into his side and pull the furs up around me, suddenly aware of the sharp wind. I shiver.

“The winds are getting stronger,” I add under my breath, “Do you think... I hate to say it... but do you think we should take my mother up on her offer of staying with her until the baby is born?” I couldn’t begin to count how many times my mama nagged me about moving deeper into the caves. I do see her point... not too long ago a woman lost her child because of the frozen winds.

Sahna
I pull my hand out of his and run a hand through my tangled hair. “Dakre...” I sigh. Then I get up and go to my little store of fermented blood. I could use something to take the edge off. Opening the hide pouch I take a gulp and offer it to my friend.

(*shows up late with Starbucks* OK but here is the THING

HIIIIII)

Hi again! If anybody wants to continue this I’d definitely be interested and I think Kat said she was too.

I’m still interested!!

Ok dope! I’ll post next then!

Dakre

I’m not sure what she’s going to say next, but she doesn’t say anything at all. I take a small swallow and throw in a “Thank you,” afterward. “There are some other things we could try, if you still wanted...”

Byrr

She pulls up the furs and I rub her arms slowly beneath them, trying to give her some of my warmth. It can’t be healthy for her to be worrying all the time either. Besides, I do enough worrying for the whole clan. I’m surprised she asks about her mother’s offer, but I suppose I shouldn’t be. “I think we can’t be too careful. And it might help them to be near them.” I pause and smile, giving her a tender kiss. “You know I’ll do anything for you, my love.”

Sahna
Dakre offers other options for me but I just shake my head and sit down by the fire. “No,” I sigh, defeated. “Maybe I should just stop, before I lose hope entirely.”

Wiping my tired eyes I toss the flask aside and rest my head on my forearms, which lay atop my knees. The winds howl outside, blowing in deep into my home caves.

Rea
I watch my life mate’s surprised expression. Running a hand over my stomach, I sit up with my back to the wall. He knows I don’t take this lightly, particularly with my mama’s constant nagging to move back in with her. But I want our baby to survive. I tuck the thicker furs in around us tighter and cuddle closer into Byrd’s warmth. My cheek lays on his chest over his strong heart. “I know you’re hesitant; so am I, my love, but I’m not taking any chances with our child. Anything that can be done for him or her, I’m doing to make sure it lives.”

Dakre
She stops me and drops her head on her knees, surprising me. I’ve never seen her quite this down before. I move to the seat next to her and wrap an arm around her shoulders, rubbing her back. “Let me brew you something for tonight, just to help you sleep. As a friend, not a shaman.”

Byrr
She moves in closer and I embrace her gladly, wishing I could give her more of my warmth. I stroke her cheek, her hair, her smooth skin. “I understand,” I whisper, kissing her forehead. “Whatever gives the baby the best chance.”

Sorry! I thought I posted!!)

Sahna
I lean into Dakre’s embrace as he wraps his arm around my shoulder, his body warm against mine. My arms slide around him as I curl into his sie of my bed. The wind, growing colder with each passing hour, blows through the hidden crevices in the cavern walls. “Maybe you should stay for the night, Dak. I wouldn’t want you to catch your death out there,” I suggest with a shiver and reach over him to grab the thicker animal hides.

Rea
“At first light.” If mama doesn’t storm over here ranting, first. Byrr and I cling to each other for warmth beneath every fur we have to keep the wind off. My hands splay across his broad chest as I rest my cheek on his shoulder. “Are you okay, love? Warm enough?” I ask him worriedly.

(All good!)

Dakre
The wind howls above us as I sink into the bed with Sahna. We’ve been comfortable like this for a long time. The wind howls above us and she reaches for thicker furs. “You know I can’t say no to you,” I said with a smile. “I’ll stay, if you want.”

Byrr
“First light,” I agreed in a whisper. She drags her fingers over my chest and I relish the touch. It breaks my heart when I wake up in the morning and an arm or hand or my face is numb from the cold. Just makes me worry more about Rea. “I’m fine,” I say with a small smile. “You just worry about yourself and the baby.”

Rea
As predicted, mama visits us before either of us is fully awake with a whole mother argument ready on why we need to move in the home caves. “Mama,” i begin groggily, still bundled up in furs as I lay beside Byrr. “Please, stop. Byrr and I have done some talking... and it is a good idea to live with you temporarily, but only if you’ll stop trying to control everything.”

My face must’ve given away my exhaustion with her constant nagging—she doesn’t fight me or anything; instead, she offers to help us move and get settled. While she goes off to tell her mate the good news I just cover my face with a blanket and throw my arms around my life mate. “I suppose we should get up now,” I sigh.

Sahna
True to his word, Dak stays with me through the night to morning. I savor the heat radiating off his body as he sleeps, my fingers tracing his soft skin lovingly. I smile a little and cut into him so I’m nestled in his arms.
