Description: Ar'lis and Lenala are pleased that this flight went a lot better than the last one.
Location: River Bluff Weyr
Date: month 4, day 4 of Turn 4
It was the warm weight shifting against him that slowly brought Ar'lis
out of the haze he'd been drifting in...that soft haze of sated desire that
he only experienced after an incredible round of sex--or two. Or, on some
nights, more. He was almost loathe to leave it, but something told him
that being awake and aware could very possibly be better than just
laying
there.
His eyes slitted open, and he turned his head to look at the woman
pressed up against him. Lenala. He could feel his interest sharpening again,
but his touch was gentle as he caressed her cheek. Lenala... Seeing her
lashes fluttering, he stroked her again. "Sweetheart?"
"Ar'lis..." Lenala's voice was sated and happy. "You won us."
The bronzerider's slow smile was smug. "Mmmmm."
Without opening her eyes, Lenala wrapped her arms around Ar'lis and
buried her face against his chest. "Thank you for not being M'galec. I was so
afraid..."
Gently he sank his fingers into her tousled hair. "Vilarth knows what's
best, darling. She wouldn't let that sharding man's bronze fly her."
Especially not with Zylarth chasing with such a passionate
eagerness...and Ar'lis urging him onward towards the lusty queen with all of his will.
"I suppose she wouldn't have." Lenala stretched languidly and finally
opened her eyes. "Vilarth knows who she likes."
Grinning, he tilted her head up to kiss her, enjoying the sensations
thrumming through his body as her skin slid along his. "And what about
you, hmm?"
Lenala propped her head up on her hand and smiled back down at him. "We
both know who we like."
"Mmmm..." Lightly he ran his fingers down the side of her neck,
following the line of her throat, stopping to very gently touch the darkened mark
on her chest. Again, he felt that smug satisfaction well up, inflating his
bronzerider ego. He didn't remember kissing her there that hard, but
then, he didn't really remember much save the raging sensations
enveloping them both. And they had been pleasantly passionate sensations this
time...not violent. Fear hadn't shadowed her eyes when he'd pushed her
into the mess of furs. Her cries hadn't been angry or
pain-filled...rather, they had been encouraging. Just remembering her
purring with pleasure as they moved together was enough to prime him
again.
She didn't seem to mind. Her fingers smoothed against the skin of his
cheek before sliding into his hair. "We're all right now, aren't we Ar'lis?"
"Very much so," he murmured, a hint of a growling purr in his tone. A
very male, growling purr. Then he gently reached up, trailing a finger
lightly over her lower lip. "You don't have to shy away from me to protect
yourself, Lenala. You know that, don't you?"
Lenala kissed his finger lightly, not taking her eyes from his. "I hurt
you, Ar'lis. Badly."
"You already apologized to me once, sweetheart. It's all right."
Her fingers tightened in his hair and pulled him down for a gentle kiss.
"I'm glad you won. I needed this."
Ar'lis wrapped his arms around her, holding her against him. He felt
desire once again flare up and thrum through him, and it wasn't just desire of
the flesh, but desire for _her_. All of her. "I needed this too, love."
It felt right in a way that things with M'galec never had, so she
smiled. "Ar'lis, would you like to spend the night with me tonight?"
His smile was slow, and broad. At last.... "I'd love to." He ran his
calloused fingers through her hair to cup the base of her neck. "Though, I
must admit, I retain the hope that there won't just be sleeping going on
tonight?"
Lenala laughed and closed her eyes, tilting her head back. "I think
there's going to be more than sleeping going on right now."
"Wonderful," he chuckled, rolling her over. "'Cause I think I'm ready for
more."
