The questions he asked of her were intelligent ones.  What proof did he have that she would be obedient, would serve him without fail?  None, unless she could find some way of showing him that her word was good.  Only it was so hard to think how she might do that with the site of the lovely elf servicing the orc.  Her back was to Shaelee, but still her tears were heard as much as her soft moans.  What could she offer this orc warlord that Doshvin could not give him, would give him happily and without the fear that Shaelee felt?<br/><br/>Moving deeper into the water, Shaelee slowly neared Gorgamesh.  She kept her cobalt blue eyes on his, trying her best to ignore both her fear and what Doshvin was doing beneath the water.  It helped some that the water was deep enough to cover her breast even though she knew the modesty was illusory.  “I have no proof to offer, my Lord,” she said quietly, disconcerted somewhat by the way the cave made their words echo.  “I can only give you my word that I will obey you always and that I will not try to leave you.”<br/><br/>She stopped next to them, less than a foot between her and the strange, exotic couple.  It was hard to hold his gaze, her face burned with embarrassment, both for herself and for the one called Doshvin who apparently could no longer feel shame.  She kept her eyes on his face, though; her request to dear to her to let her be deterred.  It wasn’t just that she was afraid to lose her mind, but that she didn’t want to lose again what Gorgamesh could provide that the elves had denied her; a mate and children.  “I will learn to crave your touch as Doshvin does, learn to please you.  In time, perhaps, I could come to care for you.”  She shrugged, she wouldn’t lie to him.  “What I know for sure is… I would give my life to you, my body to your pleasure and the creation of new life.  I would be a good mother to any child I carry.”  Here she glanced toward Doshvin for the first time, her expression softening with remembered affection before her discomfiture forced her to drop her gaze.  “Doshvin and I will be good mothers to your sons.”
