Page 18 of Agnarr's Jarlin

Astrid stepped forward, a smile on her face as she looked at us. "Piper, Agnarr, the time has come to introduce you as our new leaders," she announced, her voice carrying across the crowd.

Agnarr and I stood before the tribe. I could feel the weight of all the eyes upon us. I took a deep breath as Agnarr spoke, “Members of Fýrifírar, tonight marks a new chapter in our history. Piper and I stand before you, prepared to become your new jarl and jarlin."

A murmur of excitement and curiosity rippled through the crowd. The orkin members seemed intrigued, while the human women wore expressions of hope and anticipation.

"We are honored and humbled by your trust and support," Agnarr added, his voice steady and confident. "We believe in a future where unity and understanding will prevail, where both orkin and humans can thrive together as one community."

I continued, "Our love knows no bounds, and together, we will lead with compassion and strength, forging a path of unity for our tribe."

As we spoke, I could sense the energy in the crowd shifting. Many orkin looked excited at the prospect of new leaders. Yet, as I looked from face to face, there was a hint of hesitancy in some of their eyes, reminding me that we would have to work hard to earn their complete trust. Agnarr was known and beloved, but I was brand new.

Astrid stepped forward, placing a hand on each of our shoulders. "I have seen the bond between Agnarr and Piper," she said, her voice firm. "Their commitment to each other and our tribe is undeniable. They are Elska mates, proving that humans can mate with our kind. With them at the helm, I do not doubt our tribe will thrive. I will be with them every step of the way as we transition to their leadership."

Her words eased some lingering concern among the elders, and I saw a few of them nod in agreement. It was a small victory, but a significant one. We stepped away from the center of attention to join the feast that had been prepared. Agnarr and I sat with Astrid. As we ate, she fed us tidbits of information, elders who would be on our side, and those who might question our leadership. I tried to take it all in, wishing I had someplace to take notes.

As the celebration continued into the night, with music, dancing, and feasting, Agnarr and I interacted with as many tribe members as possible, listening to their stories and engaging in meaningful conversations. We wanted to show them that we were dedicated to their well-being and valued their input and ideas. I made sure to connect with each of the human women. I wanted to ensure they felt safe and cared for.

As the flames at the center of the longhouse danced, Agnarr and I stood together, looking out at the tribe we were now responsible for. The night air was filled with a sense of hope and unity, and I knew that we were on the right path.

"We have a lot of work ahead of us," Agnarr said softly, his arm around my waist.

"We do," I replied, leaning into his embrace. “But we have each other, we have Astrid, we have the human women. Heck, we have most of the tribe already. I think we can do it.”

Agnarr smiled, his eyes shining with love and determination. "I feel like I can do anything with you.”

CHAPTER6

AGNARR

The celebration continued well into the evening with the moon high in the sky. The way Piper leaned into me told me she was exhausted. She had run around making sure every human was cared for and I could tell she was on the cusp of collapse. Without ceremony, I scooped her up into my arms.

Piper squeaked in disapproval, “Agnarr! I can walk!”

“Yes, but you are tired and I am happy to carry you,” I replied simply.

Piper looked up at me, ready to protest, but saw the determination in my eyes and seemed to decide against it. Based on what she’d told me, she had never let a male genuinely care for her. This was all new. She melted into me and allowed me to carry her to my room. I hated that I only had a room to provide for her, but that would change soon enough. We entered into the darkness, and I gently deposited Piper onto my bed—our bed—before tending to the fire. My room was chilled without the fire lit, and I wanted Piper to be comfortable. I stoked the fire, adding logs until the room radiated warmth.

I turned to see Piper disrobing from her fancy blue gown and laying it delicately over a chair.

“I know what you’re thinking, but we need sleep. Maybe I’ll wake you later for some fun?” she said, grinning mischievously.

“Pip,” I said sternly, “I don’t want you to lose sleep over my pleasure.”

“It’s not justyourpleasure,” she countered, tugging at my braided mane.

She pulled me into a kiss. She was naked and I couldn’t help but think of sex. She continued to kiss me as she climbed me like a tree, legs and arms wrapped around me. I was still fully clothed, but my cock came to attention.

“Maybe we sleep for a while and then meet somewhere in the middle of the night?” Piper suggested.

“That sounds... That sounds good,” I stuttered.

I disrobed and joined Piper in bed, spooning. Curling my body around hers, I felt her breath steady as she found sleep. Her even breathing steadied me and I realized how tired I was. It wasn’t long before I fell asleep as well.

I awoke to Piper’s shoulders between my legs. She kissed up and down each thigh before taking my semi-hard shaft into her mouth. She licked and tongued the head of my cock as I woke up. It was almost more than I could take.

“Wha... What time is it?” I asked.

“Several hours before dawn, we’ll have time to go back to sleep,” Piper responded, before using her tongue to lick my cock from root to tip.
