The Shackles of the Past Pt. 14

"Father?" Anda asked with a raised head, but Tasha pulled it back into her bosom before sighing.

"Yes. Quahad, my blood father and previous High Elder, was assassinated when I still very young and it was Leiv who not only looked after and raised me, he watched over Iana until I was ready to rule it. However, Leiv isn't an ordinary Rendaro. He is actually the greatest healer with Ia blood running through their veins and is also about two hundred years old." Tasha said while Anda nibbled on her nipple.

Tasha bit her lips before grabbing Anda's head and pulling it away.

"Umm… could we perhaps finish this conversation after we-"

Anda interrupted Tasha by kissing her and roughly grabbing her neck.

She replied by sliding her hands into Anda's pants and grabbing his ass.

This went on for a moment and it was Anda who pulled away before gently placing Tasha on the soft carpet.

"You're beautiful." He whispered and this made the already flustered Tasha glow even brighter.

"Such an elementary compliment… I can't say I dislike it." Tasha said as she parted the bottom part of her gown, revealing an exquisite set of purple silk panties.

Anda's heart nearly seized as he stared at the delicate undergarments, but he didn't wanna waste any time and so he reached to grab them only to be gently stopped me Tasha's hand.

"Now, now. What's the rush? This moment has been reserved by you and I alone. Savour it."

Anda nodded before kissing Tasha once again and this time his tongue met with hers while she wrapped her small arms around his head.

Tasha then gently held Anda's hand and guided it to her hips and without needing further prompt, Anda carefully removed Tasha's panties before unbuttoning his pants.

His lips separated with hers allowing him to see that she was smiling.

"What?" Anda asked. His usual, light and energetic voice replaced by a deep, hungry growl.

"I don't know. I just feel so excited and the slightest bit scared." Tasha said.

Anda wince ever so slightly before lowering his head toward her belly.

He gently kissed it softly before lowering his head towards her crotch.

Tasha's widened legs allowed him to see the soft pink lips of her vagina and without a shred of hesitation he kissed them before greedily licking them apart.

Tasha crossed her legs over Anda's back all while he attended her pussy with his fullest attention.

"Ah! You truly are an Ia. For you to be able- Ah! To pleasure a woman the way you do." Tasha said but Anda's mind was in far to deep a trance to even process it.

Tasha noticed this and so she unlocked her legs allowing Anda to sit up, exposing to her his muscular torso.

Anda force his fully erect penis out of his pants and placed it on top of Tasha's wet pussy.

The two locked gazes for a moment and it's here that Tasha looked away.

"What's wrong?" Anda asked while gently placed his hand on her chin.

"I… I'm doing this so that we can experience even a little bit of happiness and allow our people to continue living peacefully." She said, but Anda simply kissed her forehead before gently brushing aside the hair that had covered her face.

"I know. But this isn't some tragic battle that you must fight alone. Allow me to fight alongside you." Anda said with a determined expression.

"O- OK." Tasha said with wide eyes and her eyes widened even further as Anda pressed his lips onto hers. He did this while slowly inserting his penis into her and as the last of his length entered her vagina, she closed her eyes and wrapped her hands around his head once more.

Anda then began rhythmically moving his hips back and fourth. Shallowly at first and with every moment, he felt Tasha react.

With every thrust, she released a little bit of air from her nose that tickled thee side of his face.

His movements quickly grew faster and deeper prompting Tasha to slide her mouth away from his as he cute small squeals turned into gasps and moans.

Anda wrapped his large hand around the back of her neck while thrusting ever faster and harder.

"Anda!" Tasha cried and this only made him holder her tighter and fuck her harder.

"Anda! Anda! ANDA!" Tasha screamed as Anda's movements became almost barbaric.

His hips loudly slapped her ass as his groans grew louder and it all came to an end as he shoved his penis forward once more all while heavily and loudly breathing.

"Tasha." He whispered as his semen poured into the teary eyed woman.

"You… animal." Tasha whispered before weakly pulling Anda closer.

The two kissed once more.

Their heavy breaths providing the room's only ambience.

.

..

"Holy crap." Anda muttered while resting his head on Tasha's chest.

"Mmm?"

"No, it's nothing " Anda said. Although he himself had heard the phrase "holy crap" from Katsíki.

"Did you mean what you said?" Tasha eventually asked. Anda could feel her heart frantically beating beneath him.

"Every word. Which is surprising even to me considering the fact that we barely know each other." Anda said with a chuckle.

"If all goes well and no one is hurt, I'll gladly teach you all there is to know about me."

"And if everything goes wrong?" Anda asked as he raised his to look into Tasha's eyes.

"Then we'll be too busy working and sifting through rubble to spend time together."

Anda nodded before returning his head to its previous spot.

A moment passed as the two cuddled in complete silence.

Anda then realized that he had just slept with the High Elder of Iana.

He used every bit of his willpower to remain calm and he eventually asked Tasha something about a topic they had drastically digressed from.

"Should we continue our discussions on the ministers or do you want to cuddle some more?"

"I-"

Tasha stopped as her stomach growled loudly next to Anda's ear.

"I think we should continue the discussion over lunch." Tasha said, but she quickly realized that Anda was giggling beneath her.

"Alright." He said as he sat up, revealing his scar littered body.

Tasha sat up as well before keenly eyeing Anda as he got dressed.

"What?" He asked upon noticing that she had been staring at him for a bit.

"All those scars… is life up there really that painful?" Tasha asked with a pained expression.

"Mmm?" Anda sounded while looking at his arms.

"Oh- no! I got most of these from my time training. A few others I got from my old missions as a scout, but it was nothing too serious." Anda said with a grin but Tasha didn't seem convinced.

Regardless, she joined him in getting dressed and promptly led him out of her office and into the hub but to both of their surprise, the place was mostly empty and most of the orbs of light in the sky had darkened.

"Oh… this is unfortunate." Tasha said while leading Anda towards the hub's exit.

"How so?"

"I wanted to take you to a restaurant down the street, but they are probably closed." Tasha said with a rather distressed expression.

"I'm pretty sure you're the hungry one. Why don't you just head home and make yourself something." Anda asked.

"I suppose I could. Would you like to join me for dinner?" Tasha asked while clasping her hands and for some reason, Anda's heart beat skyrocketed as he stared at Tasha's rather messy appearance. She hadn't managed to tie her hair as neatly as she was supposed to.

"Err… sure." He said before joining her northward.

The two eventually reached a rather large dark wall which had am equally large and dark gate that was guarded by two men, who were rather well armoured, but Anda couldn't focus on them for too long as they opened the gate, revealing a long stairway that led towards a large dark building that sat high above Iana.

Tasha led Anda towards the building a he noticed a few guards hiding behind the many large boulders beneath the building.

The two eventually reached the front of the building and Anda realized that it was just a really big house.

Tasha opened the grand front door allowing Anda to enter her brightly lit home and she led him towards a large room which Anda quickly realized was the kitchen.

"Please, take whichever seat you like." Tasha said before opening one of the many cupboards.

Anda sat by one of the chairs near the kitchen counter and he keenly watched as Tasha gathered several ingredients.

"I can't cook comfortably with you silently undressing me with your eyes." Tasha said teasingly, but Anda simply chuckled before resting his rather tired head on his arm.

"Then what should I do to put you at ease?"

"Tell me more about yourself. Who are you, Anda? Apart from the man who bedded the High Elder of Iana." Tasha said and Anda could clearly tell that she was smiling.

"I am as normal an Ia as any other and was once captain of the scouts. Our job was to investigate things that the elders found interesting and sometimes, we would ward off people who got a little to close to discovering Eimval's true location."

"So that's where you get your brutish strength…" Tasha muttered as she cooked up what looked like a simple stew. Actually, it closely resembled Nyxa, although the colour of the broth was a bit different.

"Is that all you ever think about?" Anda droned, but Tasha waved her hands in apology.

"Sorry. You were saying?"

"Umm… yeah, I guess that was pretty much all there was to my life before all this."

"And now I believe you are the High Elder of Eimval. How has that changed you?" Tasha asked after leaving her pot of stew on the stove.

She then sat next to Anda who thoughtfully tapped his chin.

"Have I changed as a person? No, not really. I just have a lot more people to think about when I make decisions. Now, let's shift our attention to minister Leiv and how we'll convince him to cease his hostilities."

"Ever the focused one, it seems. I actually don't know how to deal with Leiv. He's always been stubborn so talking to him won't be easy." Tasha said with a heavy sigh.

"So there's absolutely no way to talk him out of doing whatever he plans on doing?"

"I'll… I'll try talking to him, but I can almost see how our conversation will go. I'll tell him everything you've told me about lady Yna and the state of the Expanse, he'll tell me that none of what happens on the surface is our business, I'll tell him that there's a chance that golden knights may attack Eimval and Iana and so on."

"If he is as you've described, then the two of you are quite similar." Anda said with a feint smile, but Tasha simply sighed.

"I know." She said while returning to the stove where she dished out two servings of stew.

She offered one to Anda before sitting next to him again and the two proceeded to eat all while pondering on what their next course of action should be.

Anda also realized that he was right. Tasha had served him Nyxa, a staple Ia stew, although it tasted a lot spicier.
