Late afternoon light slanted through the forest canopy, painting Rowan’s path with gold-green motes. Each step drew him further from the village—its quiet relief after the successful accords, its lingering hum of human conversation—and closer to the forest realm where he had once surrendered himself to open-hearted pleasure and unburdened freedom. Leaves rustled overhead, as though whispering a welcome, and the distant call of a stream reminded him of evenings spent entwined with elves who asked for nothing but his honest presence.
He had told Lieris and Wera he needed time away, somewhere to rediscover the gentle swirl of desire that connected him to the elves. They, in turn, had embraced him in fond kisses, murmuring encouragement. Ildan clasped Rowan’s shoulder with a knowing nod, silently acknowledging how he, too, had learned the value of stepping beyond human rules. So, Rowan went, following memory and forest hush, guided by the sweet air of dusk.
At last, he reached a small waterfall cascading into a shallow pool, the sun’s final rays turning the water gold. And there they stood: Lyra’s silver-blonde hair glowing against the twilight, Merylla’s luminous skin reflecting coppery warmth, and Ravaen, arms folded, watching with a content grin. Rowan’s breath caught—he recalled each of them intimately, their scents, the taste of their kisses. Time felt irrelevant here.
Lyra noticed him first. She stepped forward, her slender arms unfolding. “Rowan,” she said, voice low and gentle. “You’ve come back to us.”
A deep sigh escaped him. “I have.” She swept him into her arms, pressing her body close so he could feel the subtle shape of her breasts against his chest, the comforting rise and fall of her breath. Her lips sought his, a soft, exploratory kiss that made him tremble with relief.
Merylla approached with her radiant smile, copper-tinged curls framing features that glowed even in dim light. “You’ve carried so much weight,” she murmured, tracing a fingertip along his jaw. “Let us share it.” She leaned in, lips meeting his in a sweet, lingering kiss that tasted of forest berries and distant laughter. He moaned softly, tension slipping away as her free hand cradled the back of his head.
Ravaen remained a step behind, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. He waited until Rowan turned, then embraced him firmly, bodies aligning with intimate familiarity. Ravaen’s warm, muscled torso pressed close, and Rowan let out a quiet groan of relief. They had long known one another’s contours, from the planes of Ravaen’s chest to the hint of spice in his scent. Their kiss was unhurried, tongues meeting in a careful, patient rhythm that reminded Rowan of how deeply they once connected, how quickly they could find that place again.
They spoke no words of treaties or kings; the forest’s hush said enough. This was a sanctuary, a small clearing made softer by moss and draped with sheer, gossamer fabrics. Fireflies flickered among the ferns, and a hush of leaves overhead turned the outside world into a distant memory. Lyra led Rowan by the hand to the center of this secret space, while Merylla and Ravaen followed, each exchanging glances that carried shared understanding.
Rowan exhaled as Lyra tugged at his tunic. Her fingertips skimmed his collarbone, making him shiver. Behind him, Merylla pressed her body flush to his back, her breath fanning over the nape of his neck. Ravaen knelt before Rowan, lifting his eyes in quiet question until Rowan reached out, inviting the elf closer. In that unspoken moment, Rowan felt layers of tension peel away, replaced by anticipation that thrummed like a low beat in his core.
The elves undressed him with patient ease. Lyra’s nimble fingers loosened his tunic ties, sliding fabric down his torso. Merylla’s warm palms glided under his clothing, grazing his skin, teasing at his sides and hips. Ravaen, perched at Rowan’s feet, removed each boot, letting them drop onto the moss. When Rowan stood stripped to the waist, the evening air caressed him, neither chill nor oppressively warm. He closed his eyes, breathing in the scent of pine and damp earth, relishing the forest’s acceptance.
Merylla placed soft, open-mouthed kisses at the base of Rowan’s neck, her curls tickling his shoulder, while Lyra pressed her lips gently to his. Rowan melted into their touches, heart fluttering. Ravaen rose, his broad hands circling Rowan’s waist, guiding him to sink onto a plush cushion of moss. Then, with fluid movements, the elves shed their garments, revealing lithe, graceful bodies that gleamed in the firefly glow.
They knelt around him, exchanging glances filled with affectionate mischief. Lyra leaned in first, capturing Rowan’s lips in a languid kiss. He felt the soft curve of her breasts brush his chest, a gentle friction that set him alight. Merylla slipped behind him, sliding palms over his shoulders, down his arms, her voice a low hum of pleasure against his ear. Ravaen sat close, waiting for a beckon, which Rowan offered by trailing his fingertips along Ravaen’s forearm.
Rowan’s breath caught as they began exploring him in unison—Lyra’s slender hand drifting over his ribcage, Merylla’s mouth tracing a warm path down the back of his neck, Ravaen’s palm settling on Rowan’s thigh, stroking the sensitive skin. The quiet rustle of movement mingled with soft sighs and whispered endearments.
He reached out to reciprocate, letting his hands wander over each elf’s unique form. His left hand found Lyra’s waist, fingertips stroking upward to her small, firm breasts, feeling her shiver at his touch. His right hand slid back along Merylla’s outer thigh, up across the curve of her buttock, drawing her closer. Meanwhile, Ravaen leaned in, lips brushing Rowan’s jawline, breath warm against his ear.If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“Slow?” Rowan managed between gentle gasps, wanting no rush.
“Of course,” Ravaen murmured against his skin. The elves had always known how to pace desire like a gradual tide, building tension without force.
Bit by bit, the three elves loosened his remaining clothing. When Rowan was fully naked, the night air kissed every inch of his skin, sending delicious tingles down his spine. Lyra’s hand found his chest, her thumb grazing a nipple, teasing it into hardness. Merylla pressed her body more firmly against his back, her soft breasts against his shoulder blades. Ravaen, kneeling before them, let a hand slide to Rowan’s groin, fingers exploring gently, coaxing a groan from his throat.
Rowan opened his eyes to see Ravaen gazing up at him, brows lifted in a silent question. Rowan gave an eager nod, and Ravaen leaned in. His lips started at Rowan’s abdomen, bestowing slow kisses that trailed downward. Rowan’s breath stuttered, heart pounding with a welcome rush of heat. He felt Lyra’s mouth on his, reclaiming his attention. She tasted like moonlit blossoms and faint jasmine, her tongue brushing his slowly. Merylla nuzzled his neck, each exhale stirring the fine hairs near his ear.
When Ravaen’s lips enveloped him, a surge of pleasure roiled through Rowan’s lower belly. He let his head fall back against Merylla’s shoulder, groaning quietly. Merylla pressed a reassuring kiss to his temple, whispering encouragement as her hand stroked his arm, calming and fueling him at once. Lyra’s kisses along his jaw and collarbone heightened the sense that he was cherished by them all, enveloped in their synergy.
After long minutes of shared teasing, Rowan yearned for deeper union. He whispered a request, and the elves easily shifted around him, guiding him to lie back on the moss. Merylla knelt above his head, bending down to press her lips to his in an upside-down kiss, her breasts brushing his chest. Lyra slipped to his side, her thigh pressing intimately against his. Ravaen positioned himself lower, continuing the tender exploration with measured care.
The hush of the forest amplified every soft moan, every intake of breath. No frantic motion or urgent grappling—just steady, patient swells of sensation. Rowan felt Merylla’s hand guiding him to her own wet warmth, letting him caress her labia, eliciting a breathy sound of delight. Meanwhile, Lyra ran her hand over Rowan’s sternum, drawing faint patterns that made him shiver, while Ravaen used gentle strokes to keep Rowan’s body humming with anticipation.
Soon enough, the desire spiked, bodies shifting into a mutual plea for shared release. Rowan murmured their names, breath ragged. Lyra guided him into a slow, rolling rhythm. Her hips met his carefully, their eyes locked in a moment of raw connection as he entered her. She gave a hushed moan, head falling back, silver hair cascading down her spine. Meanwhile, Merylla bent lower, pressing her breasts to Rowan’s chest, kissing the underside of his jaw in soft nips that made him gasp. Ravaen, behind Rowan, stroked his shoulders and sides, offering reassurance and murmured words of encouragement.
The next moments became an intertwining of limbs, touches, gasps. Rowan found himself arching to kiss Merylla’s breasts, trailing his tongue around her erect nipples, while Lyra ground her pelvis against his in fluid waves, each thrust languid and deliberate. Ravaen moved closer still, occasionally kissing the curve of Rowan’s neck, or leaning over to share kisses with Lyra and Merylla too. Their breaths mixed in a sensuous harmony, accompanied by the faint hush of the waterfall beyond.
Pleasure mounted slowly, a layered experience where no single person rushed for release. Soft, breathy conversation punctuated the quiet:
“Is that all right?” Merylla whispered.
“Perfect,” Rowan exhaled. “Don’t stop.”
Lyra let out a gentle moan as Rowan’s hand found her clitoris, pressing gently in time with her rocking hips. Ravaen slid his palm up Rowan’s thigh, massaging the tensed muscles. Each time Rowan felt on the brink, he or one of the elves would ease the pace, letting the wave recede just enough. They savored every quiver of nearing climax, every brush of sweaty skin.
Finally, the crest became inevitable. Lyra’s moans grew in pitch, her body quivering around Rowan’s length. Merylla’s teeth grazed Rowan’s shoulder, muffling her own cry of pleasure. Ravaen, pressed along Rowan’s side, inhaled sharply, eyes half-lidded as the tension in his body peaked. Rowan himself groaned, his climax hitting with a series of shuddering pulses that left him gasping. For a moment, time dissolved into warm pulses of shared ecstasy—moans melding together, bodies trembling in unison.
They collapsed in a loose sprawl, chests heaving. Rowan’s mind floated, liberated from all burdens. Lyra’s hair clung to her damp shoulders, her breathing a rhythmic lull. Merylla’s heartbeat thumped against Rowan’s side, her lips brushing his ear in a tender aftershock. Ravaen propped himself up on an elbow, trailing fingertips across Rowan’s abdomen, an unspoken question if he was all right. Rowan nodded, offering a soft smile of absolute contentment.
In that moment, Rowan’s heart felt fully at peace. The world of human pacts and elven treaties existed somewhere distant; here, only affection and trust thrived. They spent a few minutes in gentle whispers—brief, wry jokes about how Rowan had likely neglected himself too long, the relief that they could remind him how to truly rest. Then, they disentangled with lazy tenderness, rising to bathe in the waterfall’s cool waters.
Dusk gave way to moonlight as they splashed together, washing away the sheen of exertion. The water tingled over Rowan’s heated skin, leaving him tingling in contrast. Merylla laughed, shaking droplets from her curls. Lyra teased Ravaen by sending a playful spray his way, causing him to sputter, grin wide. Rowan joined their mirth, soaking in the moment.
Afterward, back in the clearing, they reclined atop plush moss, conversation drifting across lighter topics—amusing anecdotes about forest creatures, gentle teasing about Rowan’s days in the village. None felt the need to mention treaties or negotiations. This was their realm of closeness, a domain of caresses and shared laughter, where the weight of the outside world melted into the hush of rustling leaves.
Eventually, they dozed off in one another’s arms. Rowan felt lulled by Merylla’s breathing, Ravaen’s steady warmth, and Lyra’s fingers combing through his hair. A final thought flitted through his drowsy mind: that he had indeed found the solace he needed. Tomorrow, there might be duties and bridging tasks awaiting him. But tonight, beneath the canopy’s starlit vault, he reclaimed the fullness of who he was—a lover, a friend, a man unafraid to embrace closeness without shame.
Sleep enveloped him in a gentle wave, the forest’s lullaby of night birds and distant water singing him into restful dreams. He drifted with a contented smile, gratitude blossoming for every shared moan, every tender kiss, every quiet vow of trust spoken through heated skin. In the arms of his elven lovers, Rowan remembered the purest truth of this land: that love, free from fear, held a power stronger than any treaty. And with that truth guarding his heart, he surrendered to a night of healing.
