R'enh

Saibra

}:She wants us now.:{ Mnoranth announced.

R'enh didn't need to know who 'she' was, he knew from the flavor of
the message that a particular queen wanted him at Dragonsfall as soon
as possible. He shook his head and began putting the straps on that he
had just taken off. He was tired, after 'fall tired but he knew
Saibra was following up on his agreement to... well.

She was nothing if not impressive in her ability to call him at times
when he just wanted to sleep. But that was what he got for agreeing to
her request. It wasn't that he wanted to back out. He would just have
liked a bit of a nap first. It had already been a long day for him but
he knew he could wash the dust off in her weyr as easily as he could
in his own.

Not much later they emerged from /between/ and greeted the watch
dragon with a wave.

Mnoranth also sent his own greetings to Chioneth before dropping R'enh
on the Weyrwoman's ledge.

"Saibra," he called as he walked in.

The Dragonsfall Weyrwoman was standing in her weyr wearing only her
underclothes. The hint of a smile played across her lips as she took
in R'enh's appearance.

"I apologize, I figured it would be right after 'Fall for you." But
according to her calendar _this_ was the sevenday when they needed to
have sex the most if they were really serious about trying to get
pregnant. Not living at the same Weyr made conceiving somewhat tricky.
If they left it up to chance it could take a Turn or longer to happen.

"I've got a bath ready for you," she offered. "I thought I might help
you... clean up."

His eyes raked up and down her barely there underthings. "Well that is
certainly going to get me going," he smiled. "But I'd better not touch
until I have this char off me." He leaned in for a light kiss and then
growled at her playfully before heading back toward her pool.

Saibra smirked a little as she followed him in to the room that held
her bathing pool. "I'm not afraid of getting dirty. I'll wash your
back."

He pulled off his leathers and laid them on a chair before stripping
the rest of his clothing and climbing into the hot water. "Mmmm," he
luxuriated in the heat as it pulled the fatigue from his muscles.

Kneeling, Saibra reached down and began massaging R'enh's shoulders
and neck. She thought of how nice this would be on a regular basis.
There was a Weyrsecond position open at Dragonsfall.... She wondered
if R'enh would even consider the position. Something in her doubted
it, with his allegiance to N'vanik, and so she refrained from asking.

"How did Fall go?" she asked.

"About like usual," he said. Then he groaned as her busy fingers found
a knot and began working it. "I could get very used to his," he said
and reached to caress the leg he felt nearby.

Saibra bent and brushed her lips against his ear as she murmured, "So
could I." In truth she already _was_ getting use to seeing so much of
the bronzerider.

He chuckled and used his upper body strength to pull her around in
front of him and settle her facing him on his lap. "Now huh," his eyes
crinkled.

"Yes." She breathed, desire making her blue eyes smolder.

He held her to him as he looked up into the darkness. They'd spent the
afternoon making love in various places but though he was exhausted he
couldn't sleep. He held her knowing he had a rest day and all would be
just fine this time even if the distance was sometimes a little
wearing. There would be a time when he would have to find a way to be
two places at once and he'd have to prepare for that somehow.

Saibra stirred lightly, tilting her head back to look at R'enh's face.
"Can't sleep?" she asked.

He smiled in the dim light and his fingers ran over her back. "A bit."
Had he bitten off more than he could chew? Hard to say, but he hoped
she caught sooner rather than later. "But I'm glad we're doing this
Saibra."

"Me too," she smiled. "I couldn't imagine doing this with anyone else."
