Vanator leaned back on his good arm, careful not to jar his wound. He watched Hex lower herself into the water, no longer ashamed or inhibited in studying her movement and form. Hex was slight of build but not shy on alluring curves and beautiful structure of bone and muscle. As she drew closer grasping his leg, Vanator felt a flutter in the pit of his core. His fever was rising, and he welcomed Hex's cool bath. The Drykas shifted slightly as Hex leaned in and her lips touched the sensitive skin on the inside of his thigh, sending an electric sensation up to his groin and evoking an almost inaudible gasp from his lips. The horseman leaned back slightly, but did not flinch as Hex lifted herself from the stream. The water ran off of her, cascading down her raven mane and over her torso, drenching her light garment and soaking the rock beneath her. Vanator drank in the sight, The sleekness of Hex's torso, the globes of her breasts, shamelessly apparent through the clinging thin fabric. Hex's advance may have appeared forward to a voyeuristic onlooker, but Vanator knew it was long anticipated by both the Drykas and the Healer. Their friendship was deep, but the undercurrent of something more intimate had always teased them, unacknowledged and hidden by both. So only with a thrilling anticipation did Vanator meet his friend's bold approach with a warm, welcoming glint in his gold-flecked brown eyes. The touch of her small hands, cooled by the stream's crystal water, soothed the burning of his fevered skin, his eyes closing for a moment as her caress traveled up his torso and around his neck. He tilted his head back slightly as Hex tenderly kissed his jaw. Van emitted an unexpected grunt as Hex's finger entwined in his hair and her moist body pressed against his own. The cold pressure of her form was a sudden shock to his hot skin, even as her movements forced an unintentional torque on his shoulder, causing him to wince in pain. But the burning within that was unassociated with his fever erupted as Hex writhed against him, making both the cold and the pain irrelevant, even tantalizing. Vanator looked into Hex's bright eyes, seeing an attempt to apologize, only to find her soft lids close slightly as she concentrated on the friction between them. He wanted to reach up to touch her, to pull her against him, but his injured arm could not support them alone. So he leaned back on his hands, tilting his head forward enough to whisper into her ear. "Hex, I am so glad you found me." He kissed her cheek softly, then pressed his lips against the healer's lovely mouth, tasting the cool stream water that moistened her lips. His desire was fully ignited now, as she could surely feel, and frustrated that he could not place his hands on her, he poured his passion into the kiss, then pausing to tenderly trace the bow of her mouth with his tongue, before parting her lips with it and entwining it with Hex's own honey sweet tongue . |
