Inner Mind

[Erlind]

When her hand stops mine I almost feel admonished, but her smile reassures me.

The sudden desire that's welled up in me surprises me, but I don't fight it. My lips continue to grace her skin. Teeth graze as well if only briefly. Wandering hands slip beneath the edges of her top in search of bare flesh, but retreat again unwilling to be the one to push this further.

I move up and brush her dark hair aside to kiss the edge of her ear. Hot breath lingers there and I ache to speak, but the choice I made for silence seems more right.

 

[Kaena]

I shiver at the feel of his hot breath on my ear and frown a little as his hands retreat.

I turn in my chair and smile at him again. I grab him and pull him down into my lap.

"There thats better" I say as I kiss softly along his neck instead.

 

[Erlind]

The restlessness I've been feeling all night remains, but now at least it has direction. I gladly take my spot with Kaena and indulge in the touch of her lips on my neck.

I run my through her hair and down her side.

 

[Kaena]

I shiver as he runs his fingers through my hair and down my side. I kiss his neck again, biting softly.

 

[Erlind]

"Hi." The word is breathed quietly. I don't know why I said it or why I said anything, but regardless the word is quietly there.

I breath in deeply and realize how strangely unsure of myself I am at that moment.

 

[Kaena]

I laugh softly at his softly spoken greeting. I can almost feel his uncertainty as I run my hands down his back, pulling him closer.

"Hi" I respond, nibbling on his ear softly before shifting my weight again and dropping him from my lap to the couch. I brace my weight on my knee between his legs on the couch and lean down and kiss him soft at first, then a little more aggressively.

 

[Erlind]

I let her guide me.

Slow kisses build into something more intense. I feel awash in something bigger than I understand, but I don't feel lost. I've felt so strange this entire night so the feeling almost seems only the natural progression.

My fingers tangle in her hair. My hand finds the small of her back beneath the fabric of her top. My body quivers demanding something, but I'm not even really sure just what.

 

[Kaena]

I deepen the kiss, pressing against him, pinning him between me and the couch. I can feel his body quiver beneath mine as I break the kiss and move to kiss along his neck, pushing the collar of his shirt down to kiss his collarbone.

 

[Erlind]

I can't help, but squirm under her. The world almost seems hazy. My hand slides down, slipping under her waistband.

"I want ...," I whisper without really being sure what I mean, only that I want.

 

[Kaena]

I stop his hand and pin his hands above his head. I smile down at him and kiss his neck again.

"Tell me what you want," I say teasing, nibbling on his ear.

 

[Erlind]

I close my eyes for a moment and draw breath as I try to collect myself. Finally they open again to stare back into hers.

"I want ... more. Bare flesh on flesh. The heat of intense passion." I look away as I search for the final words. Her beautiful, intoxicating body against me is all I see.

"Take me."

 

[Kaena]

I growl lustfully as I grab his shirt and pull it over his head. I throw it to the side as my hands move to his belt. I undo it and slide his zipper down. With a swift tug, I pull his pants off, leaving him only in his underwear, still pinned beneath me on the couch. Smiling down at him, I remove my shirt, revealing I am wearing nothing underneath.

I kiss him again, the feel of his hot skin against mine increasing the intensity of the kiss. My hand reaches between his legs, my fingers brushing along the front of his underwear.

 

[Erlind]

Lost in intense kisses my hands trace the curves of her hot body. I break away from her lips, but continue to kiss her trailing down her neck and then her chest until my tongue lightly touches her nipple. Then I suck and nip gently at it. Hands grab at her sides as if she might vanish if I don't.

 

[Kaena]

I moan softly at the feel of his mouth on my nipple. I let his hands slide down my sides as my hand slips into his underwear. I brush my fingers lightly along his cock.

 

[Erlind]

I groan softly into her as her fingers dance across my hard length. I buck against her lightly wanting more. I pull away so I can look at her with desperation clear in my eyes.

"Please."

 

[Kaena]

His quiet pleading makes me shiver softly. I move off him and remove the rest of my clothes before reaching to pull his underwear off. I straddle his waist and lean over and kiss him against, our naked bodies pressed together.

I slide my hand along his cock again, feeling its hardness beneath my fingers. I tease him a little more, knowing he wants more than this, but making him wait.

 

[Erlind]

I growl in frustration and a bit of anger.

"I have to go. I made a promise to a friend a while ago that has suddenly reared its head. The world has a sick sense of timing sometimes."

I slip away from her regrettably and before its logically possible I am clothed and headed away.

"Sorry to be the tease."

 

[Kaena]

I smile as he takes his leave, dressing quickly.

"Its alright, I need to get to bed anyways. Have a good night"

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

Soft footsteps lead me to his home away from home. In one small hand is a basket filled to over flowing with roses. Gorgeous, flawless, white roses.

I spend a few moments, making sure that the note tucked inside will not be able to blow away and then I retreat, again.

E~

I hope you are resting. I hope your brain shuts down long enough for you to get the sleep you need. I am thinking of you. Be well til I see you, again.

L~

 

[Erlind]

The lights are out again, but the fire roars on strong. I stand in front of the flames staring into them as they twist and dance. I'm looking for something.

Behind me the shadow of a man in a leather trench coat flickers back and forth with the motion of the flames until suddenly without reason it disappears. I turn away from the flames and walk to the door. When I leave, I leave the door open behind me and the first thing seen through the door is a silver bell on a table with a note with two large printed words.

Ring Me.

If someone needs me, they'll call. I walk out into the labyrinthian passages that surround the Inner Mind. Dark passages that remain largely unwalked. I have explorations to do tonight though. Strong winds pull at me and sting at my face as I walk into the dark, but I smile.

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

bell sound..

louder...

one more time...

I wait to see if he hears it, if he will come.

 

[Erlind]

In too deep. Connection back to my little corner of unreality was too tenuous. I hear the sound, but only long after the one who made it is long gone.

The bell and note sink into their little table and are gone. When I have time I can't get here. When I have time and can be here she is not. A game we both know too well.

Damn.

Tired again I slip into sleep, hoping she will know I regret having missed her.

 

[Kaena]

Slips in to say hello. I read in another thread that you are not in the mindset of our thread. That is alright if you wish to end it. Hope all is well.

 

[Erlind]

"Good evening Kaena. Honestly, I'm really not. I hate doing that though. And I'm fine by the way, have just been in the strangest funk lately."

 

[Kaena]

"Its alright, that happens. I will either find another partner to pick it up or just let it drop. Thanks for giving me a chance, but, I understand not being in the mindset to write something."
