"We can't have that," he chuckled, and joined her; tumbling her into the cushions, nibbling and touching, making her squeal with laughter and surprise.
He only had the upper hand for a moment. Then she somehow squirmed out from beneath him, and pulled a wrestler's trick on him.
Then she had him on his back, bestriding him, a wicked smile on her face as she lowered herself down, a teasing hair's breadth at a time.
He arched to meet her, his hands full of her breasts, catching her unawares.
She cried out and arched her back, driving herself down onto him.
Their minds met as their bodies met, and the shared pleasures enhanced their own, as she felt his passion and he experienced every touch of his fingers on her flesh.
She roused him almost to the climax, again and again, building the passion higher and higher, until he thought he would not be able to bear another heartbeat-Then she loosed the jesses, and they soared together.
"Dear-gods," he whispered, as they lay together in a trembling symmetry of arms and legs.
She giggled. "The reward of virtue."
"I think I shall strive to be virtuous," he mumbled, then exhaustion took him down into sleep before he could hear her reply. If she even made one. Verbally.
When he woke, she had moved away from him to lie in a careless sprawl an arm's length away. He'd expected as much; he'd learned over the past few months that she was a restless sleeper-after more than once finding himself crowded onto a tiny sliver of sleeping pad. The moon was just retreating behind the rock of the waterfall. He slipped into the pool for a moment, to rinse himself off after his exertions, warm up his muscles, and to cross to the other side without rustling the undergrowth. that would surely wake her, as the sound of someone swimming would not.
On the other side of the pool, he used his shirt to dry himself and pulled on the rest of his clothing. He hated to leave her like that.
But she is as curious as two cats, and I am not certain I want to answer all the questions she is likely to have when she wakes.
She ~ ask about the rescue, and she would also want to know about the changechild. And when she found out that Nyara was female am not ready to fend off-fits of jealousy, he thought, wearily. Father's accusation are bad enough. Hers would be worse. And their is no reason for Yet. Not that he hadn't entertained a fantasy or two.
But they are only fantasies and will Y~tn so, he told his conscience firmly. still, they are things I would rather she did not know about. She is not old enough to accept them calmly, for the simple daydreams that they are. Hmmer saffiffing.
Or accept that sometimes the fantasy can be as fulfilling as the reality.
He moved quickly and quietly along the Pahs of the Vale, pausing now and then to take his bearings.
Once outside, he went on alert.
