SUNJATA

at another place in time, you were infinitely mine
relatively alright, when berenstein was fine

Nothing of her appearance gives him pause, noticing the slight differences but not mentioning any of it — after all, he’s changed a lot too. As he slides her dress off and is able to focus entirely on palming at her breast, his fingers teasing at her nipple, Sunjata only pauses as she tugs his own shirt off as her hands travel across his broad chest. His own is far more scarred and worn, not just the one tattoo dotting his chest anymore, but tiger stripe scars along each of his sides from hip to nearly his armpit, lightning scars that travel up his right arm and cross over his chest toward his heart with little streaks of paler skin, and a carved possessive scar just under his heart are all new pieces of him that Caido had given him since arriving here.

But that’s neither here nor there, given that he leans in, aiming to capture her lips again, trailing the kiss to her cheek and neck and refrains from leaving any marks despite how much he wants to. His freehand lowers now, pressing up in a light stroke against her inner thigh. “I’m pretty sure I can manage that.” Confidence seeps through him, through his voice as he hovers over her, still standing, pressing against her and teasing her.
