Season of Fall, Day 40, 513 AV
Jorin didn't know if Rinya was aware, but her soft sighs and involuntary gasps was making his body turn hot, as he could feel the beginnings of desire rise inside, despite himself. This was supposed to be a game to tease Rinya, try to make her lose control, and yet there he was, losing control himself. If they weren't both lost in what they were feeling, Jorin was sure Rinya would tease him lightly about his own lack of control.
Jorin could feel Rinya's soft touch as she gently lathered his skin, her hands lightly passing over his arms and chest as she pulled the soap over him. Jorin replied by nibbling a bit lower, closer to her breasts, while his right hand started to wander Rinya's back. This was starting to feel a lot like the night after their archery lesson, although if Jorin recalled, he hadn't explored his mate's body fully that night. It was time to rectify that mistake.
”What if I don’t want to give up?” Rinya teased back, and Jorin just answered by moving his kisses up to her neck, licking her a bit there. In the meantime, Rinya had put down her soap in favor of the sponge, and began rinsing the soap off of him, the water cascading down his arms and chest. Jorin grinned as he kissed just behind Rinya's ear, and she stammered out, ”You know J-Jorin…”
Jorin stopped his assault on Rinya's body for a moment to look her in the eyes, and she breathed, ”I love you.” And it was such a simple thing for her to say, so Jorin wondered why it was those three words that finally broke his resistance. Petch the stupid game.
"I love you too, Rinya," he breathed back. The room seemed incredibly hot, and Jorin swore he'd be sweating if they weren't already in the bath. "More than anything," he added, as he leaned forward, their lips growing ever closer. "More than everything." Feeling Rinya's emotions across the bond at that moment, Jorin's control cracked completely.
Shooting forward, Jorin caught Rinya in a tight embrace, his right hand on her back and left going behind her neck as he pressed them together in a hot kiss. He didn't even care that he had cracked first in a game he had initiated. And finally, all the frustration, anger, and yes even jealousy from earlier in the day was finally gone. Replaced by the tender feelings Jorin had for Rinya, and the hot desire he had for her as well. As Jorin continued the kiss he poured all of that into it, trying to wipe out Rinya's memory of the day and leave her with just happy thoughts.
As he broke off the kiss, Jorin looked into Rinya's eyes hungrily. "I guess I lose again," Jorin quipped, but he didn't sound nor feel sad about it. "I'm really very bad at this aren't I?" he asked rhetorically, voice thick with desire as he leaned forward to attack Rinya's lips once more.
