BEAUTY IN EXILE

||EPILOGUE

Wangui swam in the deep blue waters of the fall. They were deep in the forest where wild animals resided and could approach or attack anytime. Though Wangui's strong concoction helped in chasing them away. It had been a while since they had been all alone together. Taking over the chiefdom didn't guarantee them any free time but they did try their best to make their own.

She loved her new home. It didn't feel deserted and lonely like her previous one. It was lively and fulfilling. All she ever wished for. More so when her mother died leaving her all alone with her cat. There were a couple of times they managed to go back to her maternal home. Though she didn't like it. It always felt nostalgic.

"Is it appropriate if I wish to dip my strong stick in the black hole?" Gitahi asked standing at the top of the fall.

He was waiting to dive in and join his wife. Perhaps love her for a while before the intruders made their way to the fall.

"You mean the black hole of sweet torment and pleasure?" she asked with a wicked grin on her face.

"Certainly," he agreed his face mirroring hers.

"Perhaps you're taking longer if it is that you're talking about," she taunted wading in the water.

He wasted no time diving into the water. She playfully swam her into a cove. He swam towards her with determination in his eyes. Getting to her, he gripped her by the waist and pulled her flush against his hard body.

"Is that fast?" he asked shoving his hard girth into her. She whimpered. She was grateful that she hadn't bitten her own tongue from the sudden pleasure and torture.

"I can't talk until you do the necessary," she stuttered. She wound her arms around his neck as she braced herself for a great ride.

In the waters of the forest, it felt wild and toxic. Just the way she liked it. He drowned her in madness, darkness and pure love. Something she never thought existed until him.

"Beware! A man and his wife are approaching!" Ndegwa shouted a warning.

The intruders never had impeccable timing. Good thing the couple were done with their hot business.

"Do they ever have impeccable timing?" Wangui groaned kissing his lips.

"If they had we would never have to worry about them having to see what their naked eyes shouldn't see," he groaned on her lips.

"Shouldn't you be up here you two?" Ndegwa called from up the fall.

"Shouldn't you be down here you two?" Wangui countered.

Ndegwa chuckled. "I would rather swim after you're out."

"Very wise of you," Gitahi said.

Njeri and Ndegwa rounded the fall and went down the slope. The dry leaves were a little slippery but they managed to get to the foot without a butt fall. Njeri spread their sisal sewn sash on the low ground. She then placed the basket of fruits and food on it. After she finished setting everything up, she sat next to Ndegwa who was already showing his hardness and to the sun in the name of basking.

Wangui and Gitahi swam to the edges, grabbed their breaches, wore them and then joined the couple to share a meal. Share it like the happy family they were and would remain even when Ndegwa and Njeri went away to their new chiefdom in a few days. Something that didn't settle well with them. However, they understood that it was necessary. Well, still not excusable. They could only take solace in the fact that they would visit each other whenever time would allow.

"How many more seasons will you keep your people waiting?" Njeri asked.

"Just three more," Wangui responded.

"Easy to kill their patience," she retorted.

"It's not like I am carrying a child for them," Wangui pouted. "I carry the child for us. Mayhap they can wait. Three seasons are not many. They'll pass like a whirlwind," she added.

The nosy ones had already started talking. They already wanted the young couple to have a child. Though Wangui wasn't going to give an ear to them. She and her husband had their life planned out and they were not going to let the opinions of their people pressure them.

"Just be sure I'm informed when it happens, "Njeri said.

"I will send as many messengers as I can. You'll surely get the news. You will do the same. Do not forget that," she said with a threatening tone that made the men laugh.

The children talk lasted for hours. Surprisingly, the lads had more to pour into the topic, you'd think they were the ones to carry them in their bellies. The ladies loved watching them bicker all about it before they all realised that they had nothing to tell about children. They were pretty much blank even for Gitahi despite having once a little brother who he helped in bringing up. He had forgotten everything a child needed. Simply because he never even paid much attention. At the end of the discussion, they had to agree that they needed help from outside. Perhaps a caretaker would do. She would help in making sure the child was brought upright. Well, they could still risk bringing them up on their own. It wouldn't be that difficult anyway...or hoping so.
