Sword of St. Michael #9
#39 of Sampson and Devilah
The Sword and the Scabbard
In which the real reason Keerava wants to marry Talen-Jei is revealed, Sampson and Devilah make Love, and midnight arrives.
| Sampson and Devilah returned to the Bee and Barb to eat. While Devilah was certainly disappointed in what Sampson had chosen to do while she was away, he had commitments to Keerava that he had to keep, so she found herself in a back room talking with Keerava while Sampson went out to do some roof repairs.
"Well he certainly has improved a lot in just a few hours, I must say," Keerava admitted. "I suppose you will be leaving soon though. I'll miss having him around you know."
Devilah noted the sincerity in the Argonian's voice. "I imagine so! It must be nice having a hero fix your roof!" she said, smiling and hoping she managed to leave any snarkyness out of her voice. She had been unexpectedly kind to Sampson after all..

"Um... Keerava... About that night."
Keerava shook her head. "Weren't no night. And nobody's said a thing to Sampson. I suspect if they had, they'd have lost their head by now."
"Or something..." Devilah agreed.
|
Keervara leaned close to Devilah. "I'll say! I'm pregnant!"
|
"I have to assume so. He's the only Argonian that was here. Unless some fertility deity has been messing with biology again! No thanks to you..."
"I'm sorry Keerava. These things just happen around me. I didn't intend..."
|
"Well, if we get a chance, we'll drop back in sometime and see your... brood."
"Do that. I'll name one of them after you."
"You'd name one 'Devilah'? That's very sweet of you. It's certainly not an Argonian name!"
"Oh, not 'Devilah'. 'Horny Fucking Cat'. But it sounds better in Jel."
|
"Don't get too friendly, Dev, the others might think we're lovers!"
"Well... we kinda... were there for a few minutes."
"SHHH!" Keerava hissed, but then added conspiratorially, accompanied by a firm slap on Devilah's ass, "...and it was a half hour at bare minimum."
|
It turned out Sampson had been doing more than just working on the roof all day. In fact, he'd gotten a commission from the Jarl to do a small task and had received a bit of coin for it. So he'd bought a small present for the Khajiit and they spent the early evening strolling around outside Riften.
|
There the two talked for a while, and then made love gently but passionately as if for the first time. Devilah knew better of course, but she was overcome with emotion when finally Sampson collapsed on top of her and she felt him slowly withdraw as he fell to sleep there. This, she decided, would be their 'official' first time. Though less energetic and voluminous than the real first time, it had been much more passionate. The acrobatics could come later. If there was a later.
