Zavien
Her laughter was exactly what he needed to hear. It burst into the room like an explosion of warmth and light, chasing away the lingering darkness from every corner, flooding his chest with such force that he thought he might melt. The tightness of his hold loosened only slightly, as if he'd already gotten what he wanted; but Soh tried to lob her challenge, obviously still intending to fight this out, and he had no plans on letting her win.
Zavien relished the way she responded to his compliments, already basking in his victory and how he might lord it over her later - when her quiet threat piqued his interest. As his eyes looked to investigate, he was met by the strongest of counterattacks.
The kiss acted like an eraser, slashing through his line of thoughts without discrimination. His mind went blank beyond the press of her lips to his where he'd instinctually leaned into her, the soft texture of them, the taste of butter, their playful curve. He didn't stand a chance, and his hold on her shifted from that of determined captor to appreciative admirer, no less powerful for its softer edges that pulled her close. He drank her in, unable to get enough before he had to come up for air.
His mouth hovered near hers, a tilt to his lips as he sucked in air, dazed as he whispered affectionately, "You play dirty."
