N'vanik

N'vanik

Bringing her arms up, she brought her pert breasts up, showing her
ribcage and her belly to the sun. Thirsty, she walked onto the sand and grabbed her canteen,
drinking slowly. After getting her fill, she came back and sat down on the wet sand,
allowing the water to lap at her lower body. Leaning back, she closed her eyes and soaked up the sun.

}:Why is yours upset?:{ Orlaith asked Loseth, picking up on her
rider's thoughts.

}:He got water in his mouth. It was hard to swim with yours on his
back.:{ Loseth rolled onto his side and stretched, supremely unconcerned. Things annoyed his
rider all the time.

N'vanik followed her to the beach and then watched her ignore him. He
halfheartedly splashed water at her. "You mad I wasn't going to carry you around?"

"I didn't appreciate that tone, thank you very much." Eyeing him, she
looked him over from his top to his bottom. "Congratulations, by the way."

"Thanks." He sat down next to her in the sand. "I wasn't sure if I
would win." He hadn't even been sure he wanted to.

She wiggled her toes, liking the feel of the wet sand between them.
"Really, who else could it have been?" She had been making a tally herself, before the event.
"Although, that means you're stuck there. I hope it's what you wanted."

"I'm not stuck there. _They're_ stuck with _me_." A lot of people had
congratulated him and seemed to be happy he was still Weyrleader. To be honest, he didn't
know what he would have done if he had lost.

She sighed and nodded. "Well, there goes my plan. I was even going to
get you a chair and everything."

He looked at her. It sounded like ... "What do you mean?"

"Well if you hadn't won, you wouldn't be tied to Dolphin Cove." Her
tone was matter-of-fact, as if he'd have to be an idiot to miss the obvious and she knew he
wasn't an idiot. Rhosyn moved then, pulling herself into his lap. Her hands moved to his chest,
stroking the ridges.

A smile spread across his face and his eyes brightened. "You wanted to
lure me away to River Bluff." N'vanik wrapped his hands around her waist.

"Faranth knows K'sedel and U'das won't last forever." She giggled,
thinking that Orlaith better get busy hatching some fine bronzes. }:I did the last time:{ her
dragon groused.

"Me and Loseth could outfly them." It was hard
not to be confident with someone else's Weyrwoman in his lap.

"Prove it," she whispered.

~*~

}:That was very nice:{ Orlaith praised her rider, rumbling pleasantly from where
she rested.

N'vanik laid there for a moment, trying to get his brain to work
again. Then he pulled Rhosyn down against his chest. "Come here." He
claimed her mouth in a kiss, running a hand down her back.

She went with his hands, like putty. Rhosyn couldn't move even if she
wanted to. Once she was situated, she just laid there, breathing.

He chuckled. "Did I break you?"

"Well it's been a bit of time. And there was all that swimming too." She kissed
his chest, subsiding.

"So it wasn't just the mind blowing sex?" he teased. Truthfully, he
was content to just lay there a while himself.

"The sex helped, though it was nowhere near what flightsex might have
been like." As a dragonrider, a queenrider especially, once you felt that-
there was nothing else to compare it to. "You did very well for yourself
though. Now if you hadn't won again, we might have found out what the
other would have been like." She sighed, wondering about it in her head.

It was hard not to imagine what that might be like, and part of him
wanted to find out. You couldn't always get what you wanted, though.
"Dolphin Cove needs me."

"At least until the next time. Maybe by then there will be someone else
good enough." She turned over and looked at the dragons. "Not anything
against you, Loseth!" Stretching herself out, she went back into the water
to wash off the sand. "If I had waited...they would have found someone else
to take Zharesti's place. Shells, I could have replaced Traelyn." She shrugged,
knowing there was no use in thinking about it now. What was done, was done.
Looking back at him, she looked like that lost little girl she'd been when her
father had passed for just a moment. "River Bluff is my Weyr now, though,
and I won't leave it."

He went to her and kissed her. "And I won't leave Dolphin Cove." He
laughed. "Listen to us. We sound like something out of a harper's
romance." And they hardly knew each other, but there was something
about Rhosyn that he was drawn to.

She shrugged, unable to deny it. Then, the new Rhosyn appeared; the grown
up who didn't bother with blubbering. "You should probably be getting back
soon before they come looking." She didn't move to go, though.

He slipped his hands around her waist. "What about you? Any reason for you
to hurry back?"

"Duty, tradition, hunger..." she answered easily. "And I need a bath."

"You could use mine," he teased.

"Yours isn't as big as mine. And anyway, I wouldn't want to upset your new
lady so soon. She might be prickly." Normally, Rhosyn wouldn't give a shell,
preferring to do what she wished, but N'vanik's Weyr was in a fragile situation
at best and she didn't want to ruin it for him.

N'vanik sighed. "I suppose it would be tacky to bring you home."

"Unless, you've already spoken with her about those things and know how she's
going to react." She doubted he had, since it probably wouldn't occur to him.

"I didn't think to mention that I was screwing another Weyrwoman."
Though the rumors had to be flying and if Janani asked he was going to
be honest about it.

"Shells, why do you have to say it like that?" Rhosyn began to gather
her things, throwing a small dress over her head.

"My, my. Do we have delicate sensibilities?"

"No we don't, but we are honest." She turned to him with fire in her eyes.
"If all we've been doing is screwing, then I'm your sister." Walking up to him,
she stood her ground, even if it was a foot below his. "And I think I'm better
than that."

It had been a long time since he'd felt like this. "No, we're not just
screwing. If all I wanted was a bedmate, there are plenty back home."

And that brought them back to the original problem. Deciding to ignore it for
now, Rhosyn nodded. "It's late and we both need rest, though for me the time
is going to be off. I'll see you when I see you." Hugging him, she held it for a
moment before stepping back.

Orlaith got up and moved to let her rider get up. The queen watched N'vanik
curiously for a bit before rumbling a goodbye to Loseth. Rhosyn looked so small
up there, but it was her place. She pulled on a heavy jacket to ward
off /between/
and buckled herself in. She gave one last look at the bronzerider before Orlaith
stretched her wings and took off.

Loseth watched the Queen go and then swung his huge head around to look at
his rider. "What? We needed more complication in our lives, didn't we?"

}:At least we won't get bored.:{
