song of hope

BOOK 5: OUR SONG

Our song of hope, she dances on the wind
Higher, o' higher
E'er our hearts endure and remain forever strong
Standing tall through the dark do we carry onCODE BY TESSISAMESS

Perhaps I ought to feel... embarrassed. Someone of my position should not behave this way, and yet who is here to observe but you? Unless, of course, some hidden observer is in fact watching. In which case, I have most certainly compromised both of us.

Perhaps then we should move to a more private location before we continue. [ Even so, he cannot help but offer her a teasing smirk. ]

A horrible influence, or the best one? [ As always, her kisses leave him somewhat speechless, but he retains enough of his senses to continue a conversation. ]

What would I have you do? [ He also knows that she likes it when he takes the lead, and so perhaps he ought to be acting more like the leader in this dance of theirs. ] I would have you return wtih me to our quarters, and then...

[ He smiles the most mysterious smile that he can manage. ]

Well, no one has joined us outside...

[ She brushes her lips across his in a slow tantalizing way. Then, one hand moves from behind him. She trails her fingers slowly down his neck, chest, midsection, and then rests the tips against the scar that always bothers him. The one that was the main reason in why she picked where she did for their honeymoon. Fingers trace the outline to hint that part of why she had taken to the baths was for his aches. ]

And I find my lord husband is rather skilled at knowing how to wind his lady wife around his fingers. [ His smirk is met with that certain look in her eyes. ] Some may say the best, other may say the worst. Perhaps it's a personal preference, Lord Speaker...

[ Her gaze focuses on him as begins to allude to his plans. He trails off with his own smirk and she feels her heart pounds and catch in her throat. Oh, he is very talented at twirling her around his fingers. Alkaid nudges his cheek before kissing his jaw, neck, and collarbone in light kisses.

Her fingers move from his scar to his covered hip. A glance is given upwards to him from underneath the messy blonde bangs tinged in pink. ]

Our quarters are a walk away, ser...

Is that so?

[ It seems that both of them are determined to tease the other, by words and actions both. The touch of her fingers against his skin as she trails them down leaves shivers behind, especially when she comes to a stop at the scar that still troubles him on occasion. It still remains sensitive even when the cold isn't causing it to become uncomfortable, but he finds her touches comforting, especially when it comes to that particular spot. ]

Is it being skilled at such a thing, or is it simply because I have observed you and learned what it is you seem to like, and acted accordingly? [ He has spent no small amount of time watching her to learn about what it is she likes and what causes her to respond. Some would call that a skill, but for Aymeric, it is simply a product of being in a position that requires observing others and drawing conclusions based on their behavior. ]

Shall I carry you the rest of the way, then? [ He is reasonably certain that isn't what she was asking, but he would gladly carry her if she wished him to. ]

[shepherdtostars]

Would your skill not come from that of observation then? Either way, you are very skilled, my lord. [ She nudges where his jaw and neck meet before slowly trailing her nose along his jawline. ] I would say it equals to the same amount.

[ Her cheeks puff out slightly. She would rather they tend to one another in the now, but she is very keenly aware how private Aymeric is as an individual. Not just in their relationship, but him as a person. She is also aware how much he enjoys carrying her. As such, her arms drape around his neck and her knees pinch at his sides. ]

I also think my lord enjoys carrying his lady. [ A nod for him to continue his desire. ] Shall we continue the bath in the morning then?
