Subject: [Changeling-WW] Under the Night Sky
NRPG: Contains scenes of intimacy.
Scene: Evening, encampment along the road to the Castle of Light
Dinner turned out to be a fairly lavish affair, as Calyn had bargained
for
some fresh food rations. Soon, a fire was lit, providing some warmth as
the
cool night began to close in upon them.
Tsocolanth remained with the four, having had his fill with the boar.
Mostly, he listened to the others, though he told an old tale after
they had
finished their dinner.
Emily stood back from the fire, leaning back against the trunk of a
great
tree. She watched as Miv joked with Calyn and a smile crept onto her
lips.
Something that she was not quite used to yet filled her heart. A moment
later she caught Calyn's gaze and he smiled at her. She watched as he
whispered to Miv and then stood, turning to her. Miv giggled and moved
over
to Kenisha to talk with their new travelling partner.
Calyn approached Emily slowly, their eyes locked on one another. Emily
reached to brush a stray hair from her face as she tilted her head up
to
hold his gaze. Calyn stopped with little space between them.
He reached down and took her hand in his. "Come with me. There's
something I
hope to show you." He said.
She nodded and allowed him to help her to her feet. He led her away
from the
camp a little ways, finding a small rise. With a little effort, the two
managed to climb to the top of the outcropping. "What is it?" She asked
finally.
Calyn scanned the sky for a while, and then pointed, directing her gaze
up
to the heavens as two shooting stars streaked across. "We're closer to
the
Dreaming, here, and I find that you can usually see a few streaking
meteors
at night."
Emily smiles and let the stars capture her eyes for a few minutes.
"They
really are beautiful," she said softly. She felt his fingers tighten
around
hers and a smile tugged at her lips.
Calyn felt Emily ****ver slightly, and reached out, wrapped her in his
cloak,
folding his arms around her. "More memories have come back to me, now
that
I'm here, with you."
She turned to him, wrapped her own arms around him, pressed close.
"Will you
tell me them," she asked as she looked up at him.
"Little things, mostly. The time we camped out on the moors. The time
when
you tricked me into walking into the rope snare you had made." He
looked
down into her eyes. "Our first kiss, fumbling as it was ..."
She smiled, remembering the night all to well. "You were so nervous I
thought you were going to be sick right there at my feet." Soft
laughter
bubbled up out of her and she glanced out at the stars for a moment. "I
think that was the first moment I realized I loved you." She looked
back to
him her eyes ****ning.
Calyn took a moment to look at her. "I had known for a long time. I
just
wasn't sure if you felt the same to me, and I didn't know if I could
suffer
the pain of your rejection." He reached a hand up and stroked her hair,
the
lock of hair refusing to remain in place. A cool breeze blew around
them,
but all Calyn could feel was the warmth of her. A moment longer, and he
could no longer resist, and he bent down, placing a gentle kiss on her
lips.
Emily returned the kiss, pressing it deeper quickly. Her arms tightened
around him as she let herself go. Every wall she'd built from the day
she
knew she would never see him again crumbled under that kiss. It was
almost
like the first all over again.
"I love you Colin," she whispered against his lips. Her eyes moved up,
searching his.
Her breath was warm, and he enjoyed its caress across his lips and
cheeks.
He had caught the use of his old name, and smiled slightly. "And I you,
Em."
He whispered back. "I won't leave you again." He kissed her then, more
eagerly than before.
She melted against him, returning the kiss filled with desire. Her
hands
moved slowly up and down his back as she held him. She wanted to touch
him
everywhere, and feel him touching her. In the back of her mind a soft
voice
reminded her they were in the middle of nowhere and that at any moment
of or
both of their travelling companions could stumble upon them. But the
warning
was lost in the moment. She pulled back breathlessly.
"I need ..." Her eyes met his.
He stopped her words with another deep kiss, then scooped her up in his
arms. He leapt from the outcropping, landing gently on the ground
below.
There, he lay her back amongst the tall gr***** and plants that grew at
the
foot of the rise, a small haven from the cold breeze of the night.
Kneeling
over her, he kissed her again, savouring the sweet taste of her lips.
Emily's fingers found the buttons and ties of his clothes. Her fingers
slid
over his bare skin, smiling at the warmth. They continued to kiss as
they
stroked and pulled away clothes. Emily gasped as she felt Calyn's
fingers
glide over her. She'd never let anyone get so close. Even when they
were
younger they'd never gone so far.
She felt him move over her and his cloak settled over them like a
blanket.
Her fingers slid up his arms and cupped his face. "Colin ... I haven't
ever
...." Her eyes caught his.
He kissed her forehead lightly. "Nor have I, my love. Even in my haze
through the Dreaming, my spirit has stayed true to you." He propped
himself
on one arm and stroked her hair and her pointed ear, then down her
cheek and
neck.
He leaned in towards her, their noses almost touching. He looked down
into
her bright, violet eyes. "We shall do nothing that you do not want or
are
not ready for. I will not see you hurt, most especially by me."
Emily smiled, her finger tracing over his cheek. "I want this, now with
you." Her fingers then traced down his arm and twined with his fingers.
Her
lips lifted and her eyes fluttered closed. She was ready then, to give
all
of herself to him.
Squeezing her hand, he kissed her again, gently but deeply. His lips
brushed
her cheeks, then down her sleek neck, to the hollow at the base of her
throat. Slowly, he began untying and unbuttoning her jerkin, feeling
the
rise and fall of her chest beneath the warm clothing. His lips crushed
against her, more firmly this time, as passion began to rise within him
again.
Emily laid still, watching him with bright eyes. She felt a rush of
cool
night air as her jerkin was pulled away and she took a deep breath in.
Her
fingers brushed through his hair and she continued to watch him.
Calyn ran a cool hand down the warm, smooth skin of her side, leaving
goosebumps in their wake. He smiled at her as his fingers stroked
patterns
across her stomach before tracing a line up along the middle of her
chest.
He leaned over and kissed her bare shoulder, lips molding themselves to
the
shape of her as they moved across her chest to her opposite shoulder.
His lips moved down between her breasts, placing soft whispering kisses
there, his fingers trailed along the curve of her breast as he moved.
His
lips moved over her stomach and his hands moved down to her pants. With
deft
fingers he had her undressed within a matter of minutes. Slowly he
moved
back up over her, his lips trailing kisses the whole way back up. When
he
reached her eyes again he could see she was ****vering just a bit.
"Cold?"
Emily nodded. "Just a little."
Calyn grinned and lowered his lips to hers. "Let's see if we can fix
that."
He kissed her as his hands covered her breasts, and he felt her rise
into
his touch. His hands slid slowly down to her hips, and then between her
thighs. Instinctively, Emily's legs wrapped around him. He held the
kiss as
they joined, muffling her cries. For a few long moments they lay still,
only
the breeze and the gr***** stirring. Tentatively, Calyn pulled back and
looked down at Emily with concern. "Are you..." Her eyes were bright
with
tears, but she nodded and pulled his lips back to hers. Her hips
****fted
against him and it was all he needed.
The Dreaming moved around them like a dance. Using the sounds of their
lovemaking as music, it looked as if the stars themselves had come down
to
celebrate the gift these Sidhe were sharing with one another. The
brightness
grew as they pushed each other to heights neither had touched before.
Then
there was a sudden explosion of color before everything went silent.
The breeze stirred and soft panting could be heard as Calyn pulled
back.
Both were covered in a thin sheen of sweat. "Still cold," he whispered
teasingly.
Emily grinned and poked him in the side lightly. "No."
Calyn laughed and moved to her side, keeping the cloak wrapped around
them
both. He pulled Emily into his arms and they lay tangled together,
giving
each other small kisses. Emily traced her finger over his chest as they
lay
silently, each with their own thoughts.
"What are you thinking," she asked softly as she lifted her gaze to
his.
"At the moment?" She answered with a nod. "Regret that we had lost all
those
years we had been apart. But it's mixed with the joy of having you next
to
me, here, and feeling the love I have for you." Then he smiled.
"Disbelief
that we did what we just did, out here in the cold, with the others
just a
stone's throw away. And you?"
She smirked. "Wondering when we can do it again." She snuggled closer
to him
and let her gaze drift to the sky. "Amazed that it's possible that I
can
feel closer to you than I did before, even from back when we were
younger."
She tilted her gaze back to him.
Calyn wrapped warm arms around her and held her close to him. "I think
we
probably understand our feelings better now than when we were younger.
At
least it is for me. I've heard it said that making love ... truly
making
love, is an act of bonding much more powerful than any oath or vow. It
brings the hearts together into one, as we are exposed and open
ourselves
fully to each other." He kissed the top of her head. "And as to doing
it
again, as much as I would love to, I fear the others will begin
noticing our
absence, if they haven't already."
Emily grinned and moved over top of him, leaning to press a deep kiss
to his
lips. "Perhaps I could convince you," she whispered around the kiss.
"I don't think you'll have any trouble with that." He murmured back
between
kisses. He ran his hands along her bare back and up into her hair,
holding
her head as they kissed. Her body was hot against his skin, and her
weight
was comfortable as she lay on top of him. He ran his hands back down
her,
reli****ng the feel of the curves of her body. He remembered dreams of
holding her like this, when they were younger. The fevered touch
between
them was more intense than he had thought possible.
Emily sat up a bit, her fingers roaming over his chest. The cloak slid
to
her hips and moonlight filtered down over her. It caressed her like her
newly found lover. Had she paused to think with a clear mind she would
have
quickly covered up, embarasssed at leaving herself so exposed for
anyone who
might happen upon them. But the only thing in Emily's mind was Calyn.
She kissed him as they joined again. The cool night air washed over
their
bodies like a soft kiss from the night. The stars once again joined the
dance. It was longer this time. They took their time and enjoyed one
anothers bodies, the feel, the taste, the scent. As they pushed each
other
their movements became more insistant, faster and more primal. Emily's
fingers gripped Calyn's shoulders as her body trembled with release,
triggered by his. Her movements slowed and her body came to rest on top
of
his. Still joined she pulled the cloak up over them and snuggled
against his
chest, her eyes fluttering closed.
"I want to stay like this forever," she whispered as she flirted with
sleep.
Calyn smiled and held her close, whispering sweet-nothings to her until
he
heard only the soft whispers of her breathing as sleep took her.
Looking
around, he carefully disengaged himself from her, and after some
struggling,
managed to get them mostly dressed. He curled the cloak warmly around
Emily
and lifted her up.
Quietly, he returned to the camp, and gave a soft sigh at seeing
Kenisha and
Miv asleep. At least there wouldn't be any tongue-tied excuses.
Kneeling, he gently put Emily down and laid out their bedrolls. He
unzipped
a sleeping bag and lifted Emily into it. She woke up enough to smile at
him,
and demand a kiss before falling back asleep. As he readied his own
sleeping
bag, he eyed the large Wyrm, sleeping nearby. At least they wouldn't
have to
worry about anything coming near their camp this night.
Curling up beside Emily, he gave her a final kiss on the cheek before
allowing sleep to take him as well.
