Theirs had been such a passionate encounter – only having known one another for a
day and already it was as if they spoke the same language. They moved with one another, reacted to one another, indulged one another. Rexanna had hardly met anyone like him, especially in
this regard. Typically she took the reins, too careful in making sure she seduced the man to save her life. But this time, she saved nothing. Instead, she was here for
her and was pleasantly rewarded with it. She let Alistair guide her, move her, primally dancing with one another.
His arm had hooked around her leg, moving it up above his shoulder as he continued to move, a grin forming on her lips as she melted into him. A gasp leaving her lips as he moved her, her hips moving toward him in an effort to silently plead for more – but he began to move them. His free arm turning her and she obliged, despite wanting to protest, the heat pounding within her wanting to remain. But this language between them, of new beginnings and unexpected meetings, allowed her to let him guide her yet again. He leaned forward into her now, his stubbled chin brushing against her shoulders – turned red by the heat of their moments together.
He kept moving lower and lower however, and she found herself resting her forehead on the rock. But his kisses stopped at her lower back, another finding its way to her shoulders as she began to grow somewhat confused. Until… There it was. At first, she steadied herself against the rock, her head moving back as he slowly moved, a soft moan slipping from her lips pressing against him as she relaxed, his arm wrapping around her to press her further into him and she effectively
dissolved into him. At the sound of his groan, his name left her lips in an almost breathless plea, arms moving from steadying herself to hook around his neck, her nails digging into his shoulders hard enough to leave tiny scratches as the two of them indulged.
– fade to black –
They had left the water, the shore lapping quietly against the rocks as she laid on her side – her sapphire eyes watching as Alistair grasped onto a blade of grass to run along her sides. Goosebumps ran from her hip to her shoulder with the movement, and she wanted to quietly laugh at the feeling. She was tired, however, not tired enough to sleep, but she was certain she might not be able to stand without wobbling slightly. She figured she’d try in a bit, but for now she was content in watching him, the dark curls of his head as he surveyed her.
Then he laughed quietly, and she found herself leaning up on her elbow to raise an eyebrow at him – mock accusingly. “
What’s funny?” She said, quietly and with a hoarse throat due to the recent events. But instead, he leaned over and kissed her exposed hip, then her lips before laying back onto his back. She remained looking at him, however, brows pulling together slightly as he began to speak and pause. He eyed her from the side, and a grin formed on his lips as he began to speak again. To which she nodded, her concern fading and instead being replaced with a look of mild surprise. “
Me too.” She offered quietly, waiting for the
but as he probably assumed she would.
Then he spoke again, and her brows lifted with true surprise and a small bit of laughter. “
Every part, I’d dare to say.’ She added with another small laugh. But then he offered it out there, laid it onto the table. To date him, when she’d only been here so long with so many things that could go wrong at any time. After one day. She wasn’t sure what to say, but she knew everything had moved so fast and with it, she did care for Alistair after all – despite the shortness of their friendship.
So she moved toward him then, making sure he was on his back before lifting her leg over him and straddling him, taking his arms and pinning them above his head as she placed a kiss to his lips and looked into his dark eyes. “
I would like that very much.” She began, her smile faltering slightly. “
But I’m… not entirely sure if I’m ready for a full-fledged relationship just yet.” She paused, seeing how he’d respond to her announcement. “
There’s still so much to learn of everything in this world, and we’ve only just met yesterday, I would like to get to know you a bit more first.” She explained, smiling to him to relieve any insecurities he might have. She leaned down again and kissed his throat, where his adam’s apple protruded slightly. “
I very much like you.” She purred before moving to his collarbones. “
And I very much like this.” Her voice was soft as she lifted her head to look back into his eyes.
“
If we could just start off slow? I do love flowers, and I would love a dance.” She offered a half laugh, finally letting go of his arms and sitting up, her dark blue gaze sweeping over him. “
You’re so very kind and generous, it’s just that things for me didn’t quite go so well when they went fast.” Her head tilted slightly. “
I would love to keep seeing you, I'm just afraid of getting too attached too quickly.” She finally said, moving to stand and gather her clothes. She pulled on her undergarments, then her pants, and finally her shirt before she turned back to him and offered his bundle of clothes. “
Start with a hunt as the first official date, hmm?” She questioned with a raised brow, grinning to him with her bright white smile.
Her eyes lingered on him a few more moments, hoping that perhaps she hadn’t upset him in some way. But he
had to understand from her perspective – so many years on the run, of hiding from everything and her feelings, the threats of her husband, of her returning to him one day regardless of if he’d have to cross worlds to find her. He hadn’t made it here yet, and she hoped he never did, but she couldn’t be too certain and she
definitely didn’t want Alistair to pay the price. Whether it be ex-husbands or gods with a vendetta.
doesn't mean you're not a force.
honey and wildfire are both the color gold.
