Giveaway drabbles #16 - male orc x female reader (sfw fluff/comfort) (Patreon)

Here's another giveaway drabble from my 100 subscribers giveaway, featuring some good old fluff and comfort, which I'm posting on #thankyoupatrons day. Thank you for your support and encouragement and enthusiasm regarding my creative content and ideas etc. I hope you've enjoyed the (perhaps unexpected??) 'free' content that has gone up throughout the month of November (existing patrons were not charged this month), and please take it all as one giant 'THANK YOU' for just being shiny and fab. 

Ok, now, back to the orc. :)

He knew something was wrong the moment you let yourself into his apartment and dumped your bag on the floor with a heavy thump. 

You gazed into his warm brown eyes - alight with love and concern - and managed a smile as he parted his arms and invited you into his embrace. 

When his big hand finally left the back of your head, where he’d been cupping it gently, he stepped back and said in his rich, deep voice, “I’m actually just making your favourite; why don’t you come through to the kitchen and give me a hand?”

The dizzying swirl of thoughts that tugged at the corners of your mind and threatened to unravel you began to calm as the massive orc got you to prepare the last ingredients and once the food was in the oven, he turned the radio up a notch and held out his hands to you with a big, tusky smile on his handsome face. 

Behind him on the kitchen windowsill were the plants he and you had chosen together to liven up his new place, and as the two of you danced in a slow, carefree circle, he shifted his other hand to your waist and pulled you close, the fingers of his left hand squeezing around your fingers in deep, silent admiration of you.
