Z'an

Pierka

Sighting the little, perhaps no longer so little, pregnant woman by
the shore of the lake, Z'an approached with a soft whistle and watched
as she scrubbed at her green. "Need some help?"

"Hello," she smiled shading here eyes as the tall rider approached. "I
can use lots of help," she said.

Nodding with a soft laugh, he waved her to sit. "Sit, Pierka. Get off
of your feet. Faranth knows that your little green will be easier than
Vicarth is to scrub. Go relax."

"Oh thank you Z'an," she smiled and put her hand to her stiff back
while she walked over to a comfy looking rock and took a seat.

"You shouldn't be doing this as far along as you are." He replied and
stripped his shirt off, wading into the water. "It'd be too easy for
you to slip." He picked up the brushes and with experienced hands,
began scrubbing the green. After a few moments, a few male greenriders
and a few blueriders from his wing and others he was familiar with
noticed and began giving suggestive catcalls. He responded with a few
flipped fingers and others with blown kisses and fluttered lashes.
There were laughs and it was obvious that Z'an wasn't bothered by the
overt teasing. At one point, he even shook his rear at one bluerider
and tossed nonexistent hair over his shoulder in a teasing huff,
ending with rolling laughter on the part of onlookers.

"There were supposed to be candidates helping this afternoon but they
somehow evaporated and Liddith did need her bath." Pierka couldn't
help but laugh at the general fun poked in Z'an's direction but it
felt so good to just sit and watch as her beautiful Liddith was
scrubbed and oiled to a luminescent shine. She always loved it when
she was done and went up to preen on the heights for some lucky blue
or brown.

It didn't take long to finish Liddith and he patted her lightly before
rinsing his hands in the water of the lake. He bent to pick up his
shirt and walked over to Pierka, sitting beside her in a sprawl on the
ground. "It's work. Can you tell me that as a Candidate, you didn't
try to skip out on occasion?" He chuckled. "When eggs are on the
sands, it'll be different." He looked up at her with a grin. "Feeling
better?"

"Some," she nodded. "It's just hard to get comfortable these days.
Thanks for the help!"

"Well, any time you need help, just have Liddith call for Vicarth. You
shouldn't be climbing on her right now." His lips curled upwards but
he frowned as he looked at her bare feet. Scooting down in the sand,
he lifted a foot without asking and gently but firmly, rubbed the
instep, applying pressure.

"Oh wow," she breathed. "That feels wonderful."

His brow quirked upwards as his thumbs kneaded the soles of her foot,
massaging the instep and moving up to the ball of her foot, the
pressure firm. "No one has massaged your feet for you?" He tsked
softly. "That's a shame." He grinned, enjoying the look of pleasure on
her face and the way her toes curled.

"No never," she said and groaned a little more. "I've never been
massaged anywhere," she mused. "Not like that."

He lifted the other foot and shook his head. "You have been missing
out, Pierka." He rubbed the other instep with a practiced hand. "I
could do more than feet you, know." He considered her. "I'm sure your
back is a bit achy from time to time."

"It is," she said and reached back to squeeze her neck. "And my neck.
Would this be easier if I was laying down?"

Z'an couldn't help a grin. "Lots of things help when you lay down." He
winked and then shook his head. "You can't really lay down on your
stomach right now, can you?" He considered her for a moment. "If you
can scoot up a little, I can get your neck and back. All you'll have
to do is lean forward a bit."

She scooted as he just suggested and leaned forward as far as she
could without becoming uncomfortable. "How's that," she asked.

He rose and moved to sit behind her, legs spread in a vee, each of his
thighs on the outside of her own. He shifted, got comfortable and very
gently moved her hand from her neck. "Here we go." He kneaded the
muscles around her neck with a gentle, but firm pressure, finding the
knots and easing them away with practiced skill. "Can I lift your top
to get to your back?"

"Sure," she said without thinking and even reached for the hem of her
maternity top to pull the sleeveless tunic over her head. "How's
that?"

He saw the scar and winced. He'd seen worse, but to see it on her pretty
skin... He shook his head and ran his hand lightly down the score. He
didn't ask about it; some marks were personal and to him it didn't
detract from her beauty, but merely added to the strength of her. He
slid his hands to her lower back, finding her skin warm and pressed
into the taut muscle.

She felt his fingers on her scar and stilled. Then she took a deep
breath, "Loseth caught us," she said softly."And we almost killed
N'vanik." Surely he'd heard the stories. "Ooooh," she groaned as his
fingers found the sorest part of her lower back. Cold bumps ran up her
arms and made her shiver slightly.

"Ah." He nodded and using his thumbs, eased the knots in her lower
back into looseness. "I think that happened just after I arrived." He
frowned at her groan and looked over her shoulder, his chin resting
lightly on it. "Too rough?"

"Oh no," she said. "It feels wonderful. Wish I could take you home with me."

He chuckled softly and taking a risk, lightly kissed her shoulder,
just the barest brush of his lips. "You could...if you wanted to. I
give wonderful full body massages." Z'an continued to massage the
tense muscles along her back, but his fingers stroked more than
kneaded, adding a hint of sensuality to his touch.

"Mmmhmm," she mused and twisted her head to look over her shoulder.
"Are you sure about that?" She wasn't all that sure about it herself
but she did know that T'nom was out of reach and Z'ku was just a
friend. She needed a man's touch but without the complications of
either friendship or love.

"I'm very confident about my massages, Pierka." He spoke softy, but
with plenty grin in his voice. "You'd enjoy it. I certainly would."
Z'an rested his chin on her shoulder lightly. "I'd make sure you
enjoyed every moment."

She thought for a moment how very much she could enjoy at little
intimacy. "Sounds good to me," she smiled.

He rose and offered her his hand to help her up. "It will be."
