Likely Salara trying to escape the Zeltivan in water would have been laughable in either form; although she Really didn’t swim well in this one. But ultimately, underlying all but the need to pitch a tent, her intent was to be exactly where he caught up with her after a token game of cat and mouse. Strong arms encircle her from behind as they fall back in a plunge of tiny waves, submerging their bodies momentarily deeper before rising to float upon the surface. Later she would wonder how he could float them both with his hands otherwise occupied without them both drowning; but at the moment it was all about what he was doing with those hands. Butterflies flit under the flesh of her stomach below his fingers’ caress, the air from their effort escaping in a sigh and returned in a gasp as teeth nibble along her neck. Briefly she struggles to turn as his fingertips tickle her ribs which causes them both to dip a little deeper below the surface only to rise again; but all struggle ends as he tweaks a hardened nipple. Her breathless whisper pleads same for the other as both breasts grow tight with want. His beard roughed against her flesh elicits a moan, which grows at the trail of fierce kisses up her neck and face. Shedding the clinging blouse was true relief as gentle breezes add to his kisses raising goose flesh along her skin. With his one hand occupied higher she lays one of her own over his lower hand, allowing, encouraging, pushing his fingers past the lacings of her breeches to begin a slow process of pealing them loose. They twist rhythmically as he maneuvers to balance her pleasure from the opposite side with his attention, her head rolls against his shoulder in a silent nod of gratitude. She was being pressed exquisitely from top to bottom with every nerve on fire, more wet than water. She nearly looses herself in back-arching need but their floating spoon drifts to shore. Land. Salara’s realm. Her slow gyrating twist within his embrace leaves them nose-to-nose as pink tongue flicks the tip of his only to continue a trail over and between his passion-swollen lips where a hint of cherries still lingers. Secluded by a dripping blonde curtain, amber eyes lock to dark brown, colors swirling but nearly swallowed by black pupils. Firm breasts pressed to firm chest, hers tickled by curls of his auburn hair. “I want you to remember this night with me...,” her voice a sultry husk. Holding his wrists immobile she bends in to slowly work from jaw line to apple to hollow of throat pressing moist kisses edged with the slightest rake of sharp teeth. Raising to her knees above Karyk’s torso, long legs lock about the narrow of his hips; the only separation between their true desires – damp-tightened fabric. Fevered gaze and long fingers trace a trail over each rib outlining every scar as her hips roll in a slow rhythm of promise. “Do not move,” she warns sensing his impatience and intent to take control – not yet. Should he, in sweet cruelty she would admonish and begin again slowly sliding down his body, fevered breath fogging his flesh following fingers ever so slightly brushing across his stomach, lower past hips and obvious desire, along muscled thighs and down beyond knees; leaving pure want in her wake. Separating to stand in silhouette to the moon-lit waters she slides flat palms down each side of her hips slowly pealing away sodden breeches with each sway. Finally kicking free of the last invasive clothing, her smile shines bright on him from above before she bends curling low near his feet. “Karyk Stormwind, you will remember me,” she croons in a growl as she begins slinking her way back up his body more slowly, ever more intimately until all control is lost to them both.. Later with sodden clothing dripping near the fire, Salara reclines wrapped in her old cloak in satiated content watching Karyk’s every motion with heavy-lidded eyes. Her body would shudder in occasional flashback of the pleasures they had shared this day. She didn't know how much time they would have together but she did know that this was, perhaps, one of the most memorably pleasing moments of her life. *word count 6483 |
