“Well, a natural alchemist like you should also have an innate talent for brewing any kind of potion or healing elixir she turns her hand to,” Madam Healer explained. “You’ll know instinctively which ingredients go together and which would cause a dangerous reaction. That kind of medical intuition is absolutely priceless.”
“Really?” I felt a little jolt of excitement. “That sounds amazing!”
“It’s certainly something to think about,” she said. “And if you’d like, I would be happy to teach you. Not that you’ll need much teaching now that your talent has awakened—things will come to you naturally, I expect.”
“Thank you!” I said, smiling at her. “I’d love to learn to brew potions and spells!” All the lessons I’d had from her so far had been fascinating—much more interesting than the boring regular chemistry I’d learned in the Human Realm.
Madam Healer gave me a pleased smile.
“Very well. Come see me tomorrow and we’ll talk about it some more. But for now, let me give you a pot of healing salve and send you back home with Tark.” She smiled at the big Orc. “I know he’s longing to take care of you.”
Tark’s cheeks went dark green with a blush but he didn’t deny it.
“I do need to get her home,” he rumbled, nodding. “She’s been through a lot today.”
“She certainly has,” Madam Healer agreed. “Here.”
She pressed a tiny pot of salve into Tark’s big hand and smiled.
I started to get off the exam table, but Tark was too quick for me. He swept me up into his arms and held me close to his broad chest.
“Come on, Babygirl,” he rumbled. “Let’s take you home.”

HARMONY
At this point if you have a Daddy kink, go read the alternate chapters 17, 18, and 19 in the Daddy Chapter Section. Then go back to Chapter 20 to finish the book. If you don’t have a Daddy kink, just keep reading as usual. ; )
As soon as we got back to his house, Tark insisted on running me a bath in his enormous bathtub.
“I’m honestly all right. I don’t need a bath,” I protested as I sank in up to my neck. “Ooo—ouch!” I added, because my cuts were stinging.
“You were saying?” Tark raised one sardonic eyebrow at me as he wetted a sponge and began to gently scrub me.
“Hey, it’s just because the hot water stings,” I said defensively.
“Exactly—it stings because you were scratched by a demon—a Sin Sucker,” he said firmly. “We have to get those cuts completely clean before I put the healing salve on.”
“Why?” I asked nervously. “Will they make me sick? Give me blood poisoning?”
“Worse—they could give you soul poisoning if we’re not careful,” he said grimly. “And you don’t want that—the evil that was in the monster that attacked you could reach your heart and turn it as hard and cold as his was.”
“No, I definitely don’t want that!” I shivered. The thought of becoming like Mr. Price chilled me, even though I was neck deep in hot, soapy water.
“Of course you don’t. Don’t worry, baby—we’re going to get you squeaky clean tonight,” he promised. “Just let me wash you.”
He took his time, scrubbing me all over—and I do mean all over. He ran his big hands all over my body until I was practically trembling with need. But though he took the time to tug my nipples and to scrub between my legs—which mostly consisted of him teasing my aching clit with his fingertip—he never quite let me come.
At last I was panting with desire.
“Please, Tark!” I begged. “Please, I need you!”
“Need you too, baby,” he growled softly. “You think you’re all clean now?”
“All clean and ready for naked cuddles,” I assured him. “And this time I want you to get naked too!”
Tark gave me an uncertain look.
“I still don’t know if you’re ready for that, Babygirl. Remember I told you that Orcs have different, uh, equipment down there?”
“What, do you have a nest of tentacles or something?” I demanded, feeling thoroughly exasperated.
He rumbled a laugh.
“Hardly! I’m not a fucking Kraken, you know.”
“Well, whatever you have, I want to see it,” I said bossily. “And more than that, I want to use it. I nearly died today, you know. And if I had, I would have gone without ever getting to get really close to you.”
“Aw, Babygirl—please don’t talk like that!” His golden eyes were suddenly suspiciously shiny.
“Well, it’s true,” I pointed out. I sighed. “Look, I know you think I’m too small to, you know, take you, but at least let me try. I have some pretty big toys back home, you know.”
His eyes were suddenly lazy with lust.
“Toys, is it? Hmm, why is this the first I’m hearing about them?”
I bit my lip, my cheeks feeling hot.
“Well…I mean, it’s kind of embarrassing. But I wanted you to know that I can take you.”
