Thar Shaddin

*****Please note that this is simply an alternate to Blood and Ale made through sheer boredom and need for smut *******

Kori Stronghammer lifted the tankard of ale once more. He had lost count, and when that sniveling bartender had asked him to slow down, Kori had thrown him back behind his bar. Stupid Git. That'd teach him to interrupt a Notherner during his meal.

The Bar maids refused to come near, Kori's gropes and pinches had grown out of control more and more every minute. Now he was pounding on the table with a rhythm, bellowing a song about the salt spray and splintered skulls in his own tongue. All the weaklings that had patronized this tavern when he arrived were gone. Either dragged out by friends or limped out on their own, even a couple being thrown through the door. Rising from the chair, ale tankard in one hand and leg of mutton half-eaten in the other, Kori roared in his deep bass voice, "Is there no one? Does the great city of Marn offer no one to face me?" Ripping a great chunk of the greasy meat from the bone with his Bear-like teeth, Kori yelled once again. "YOU! Yes you, you blonde bitch. Bring me more ale and provide me with some companionship or I'll destroy this shithole you call a bar.

Fayane Tyme all but flew down the streets of Marn to the tavern. There had been reports of a very large disturbance and of course Fay had been the only damn guard on duty. She flashed around a corner and stopped before the tavern, her breathing even.

She walked into the bar and noticed the issue almost immediately. Kori... of course of ALL the people in Marn, WHY him?!? Fay swore under her breath before stalking forward and grabbing Kori's arm.

"Stronghammer! You had better have an explanation to your terrible manners!" Fay barked, her eyes flashing. She was SO not impressed with the tall Northernman.

When Fay grabbed his arm, Kori simply threw the arm away from him.

"Look here guard bitch, I don't give a fuck who you are. I've told ye before. Do'naut fuckin' touch me. Pretty fucking stupid cannae even git t'at right!" Waving his mutton leg around like a royal scepter, Kori took a deep, deep, DEEP drink of ale. "Well, you can TOUCH me little woman, but I'd prefer a mooch funner wae and funner place. Catch mae drift lil' woman?"

Kori started laughing, and stomped to the bar. Reaching behind it and pulling an ale cask out, he ripped the stopper out and began drinking it. When he drained the cask, his eyes went flinty as he looked at Fayane.

"SO. What'll it be guard? Ye gunna try 'n clap irons on mae? Cause I tell you now, that ain't gunna 'appen ya ken?"

Fay tilted her head at the tall, drunk man and shook her head, smiling.

"People I'd suggest you evacuate immediately. This is going to get very interesting." The people, workers and patrons alike, all ran for the door. Fay followed them to the door and locked it, moving back to Kori she simply smiled and pushed herself against him fully.

"Oh I'll clap irons on you all right... but you'll love every minute of it." Okay so maybe this wasn't within protocol... but if the two of them got into a fight it would not end well, and to be frank she was curious. Just what was a Northern man like...?

Kori looked down at the guard. She was warm, obviously inviting, and he was ready for fun. Picking her up, he kissed her roughly, with the passion he hadn't got to unleash in months. She was softer than many things his rough and callused hands had felt, but there was a strength he could feel under that smooth skin, a toughness he liked. Nipping her lip with his teeth slightly as he pulled back, he spoke, his feelings making his voice deeper.

"Do you think I'll be in the chains little one? I think it's you who's going to be chained and enjoy it."

Fay was starting to feel dizzy. One minute she was safely on the ground the next she was up in air with a savage mouth on her own. Not that she minded - he was pretty good for a drunk man. Actually it was likely better if he started the kissing bits - Fay couldn't see his mouth with his beard in the way... not that the bristles bothered her. He nipped at her and pulled back, Fay's eyes fluttering open to meet his own and swallowed nervously, seeing the passion and wild lust raging behind them. What have I gotten myself into this time... Fay thought to herself.

"Do you think I'll be in the chains little one? I think it's you who's going to be chained and enjoy it." Fay raised an eyebrow - feeling playful.

"I see no chains on you, Kori. Nor do I see chains within this bar. I'd like to know how you intend to chain me?" Fay asked, leaning forward and nibbling the ear she had spotted.

Kori chuckled deep in his throat. He almost shivered a little when she nibbled his ear, but he did control himself. Breathing deeply as he nuzzled her neck, nipping up and down it, Kori spoke, the rumble of his basso voice making her throat feel the vibrations.

"Woman, I'm sure if I put to my mind to it, I shall find some, or I will improvise. Trust me, I will improvise."

Pulling her back from his ear, he kissed her again, as passionate as before, if not more so. Picking her up and turning, he sat her down on the mostly clean and dry bar. Standing at the bar with her sitting in front of him, Kori leaned forward a bit, and cupping her small face in his hands, he continued to kiss her deeply.

Fay wrapped her legs around his waist, one hand quickly becoming entangled in his hair, the other cupping his cheek as she kissed him back. Pulling back, breathing heavily she tugged off her cloak and dropped it behind her. A couple flicks of her wrists had her chest plate off and her shirt unbuttoned. Taking on of Kori's hands she guided it to her chest, allowing her head to fall back with the rough hand caressed her skin.

Improvise all you want, Kori. Improvise all you want... Fay thought sighing in pleasure.

Kori breathed deeply of her scent as she became far less dressed than she had been moments earlier. Feeling the smooth and soft skin under his hands, Kori resolved to touch as much of her skin as possible. Breaking the kiss to nip and kiss down Fayane's neck to her chest, he growled as his armor got in the way. Reluctantly pulling away as far as Fayane's legs would allow, he removed his Bear Cloak, coat of mail, and linen homespun shirt all in one go. As soon as he was free of these entrapments, he returned to what he was taking as a mission, returning his hands to her warm and soft skin and his hungry mouth returning to her body, stopping every few moments to give her another kiss or nibble.

Fay shuddered beneath him, wanting more. Reluctantly pushing him back once more she managed to strip herself of her shirt, brassier, gloves and arm guards before tugging him back at her desperately. Her slightly clawed hands dug lightly into his back as her pleasure mounted. Such a strong back... Fay purred and arched against him. Such a good mouth.

Kori liked the feeling of her scratching his back. Lifting her body to him, he pressed her against him as he kissed her deeply. Cupping Fays breast in his hand, he slowly ran the pad of his thumb over the exposed nipple. Kissing her deeply and quickly, biting her lip every once in a while, Kori spoke.

"So milady, does this make up for the lack of chains?"

Before she had time to speak, he replaced his tumb with his mouth.

"So milady, does this make up for the lack of chains?" Fay was about to reply when his mouth attached itself to her breast, suckling earnestly; causing her to forget what she was about to say. She gasped and buried her hands in his hair, trying to both hold him in place and keep a hold on her shattering reality. Her magic flickered and Fay found herself with a tail, sharper nails and a set of fox ears - not that she noticed.

"Y-yes... Gods above yes." Fay breathed, her breathing becoming harsher by the second.

The tail. The tail and the ears were definitely new. But it was new, and Kori always loved to try something new. Running his hands through Fays hair, he gently rubbed the tip of the new fox ears. Also new. The scratches she had placed in him, the things that caused those seemed to have grown, but he liked that feeling anyways so that was fine. Stopping his mouth in its current endeavors and kissing up her chest and neck to her mouth, he decided to ask her a question will his fingers played with her nipples.

"So, would you like to continue this here on the bar or in the upstairs rooms I rented? There's only one bed, but I don't think that'll be a problem."

Fay mewled when he played with her ears, the sensitive digits shivering slightly when he tugged the tips. He paused a moment from his endeavors and Fay whimpered.

"So, would you like to continue this here on the bar or in the upstairs rooms I rented? There's only one bed, but I don't think that'll be a problem." Fay shook her head quickly.

"Where ever you choose will be fine with me. Though I will say that the bar needs a bit of polishing." Fay purred, moving her hands from his back to his chest, lightly scratching his chest and stomach, slowly working her way down to fiddle with his belt.

"Don't you agree?"

Kori grinned. Funny and sexy. Putting his arms under her, he stood.

"Aye, the bar needs a little bit of polishing, but I have more pressing thoughts in mind."

He had saw her reaction to the ears. He would remember that for later. As they climbed the stairs and stood before the rented room, Kori used his hands to open the door and walk towards the bed, kicking it shit as he went. Sitting on the bed with Fay in his lap, he took a deep breath, breathing in her scent as he lightly nibbled her neck.

"I think here will be just fine."

Fay purred but pulled away, only long enough to shimmy off her pants, boots and ankle guards, before she climbed back on his lap and began to kiss his chest while she fiddles with his belt.

"I suppose this will work..." Fay husked as she managed to get the trinket open. She stood up again, winking.

"I'm going to need you to take those off."

Kori unbuckled his boots, kicking them off. Setting Fay on her feet and then standing up, he let his pants drop, revealing the fact that his tattoos continued down from his back and chest to his thighs and calves. Grabbing Fay, he onces again picked her up to mouth level as he hungrily kissed her. Running his hand down her back and lightly stroking the base of the fox tail, Kori kissed her again. Deciding to have a little fun, Kori continued to stroke her tail and asked.

"Whatever shall we do now?"

Fay shivered when his hand stroked her tail - oh her tail. In the back of her mind she wondered why it was so sensitive but in the end decided it wasn't worth the thought.

"Whatever shall we do now?" Fay looked at the man before her and raised an eyebrow.

"Well, if you have a deck of cards we could always play a game..." Fay murmured before rocking her hips, effectively grinding herself against Kori.

"Or we can play another game..." Fay purred in his ear before nibbling it again.
