Musketeer Immortal (closed)

[TertiusHuman]

Porthos smiled at Celeste

"As safe as what she wishes to be, her captor is dead, in the morning his house will be seized and his guards turned away. I think she is now free to start her new life without fear hanging over her like a naked sword blade."

 

[Asa]

Celeste hugged her.

What a fine house for you if you wish I am sure. We can speak with the city about letting you keep the house. It would give our Porthos more room and privacy with his new heart... You.

 

[TertiusHuman]

Porthos blushed slightly when Celeste said that, but Athos shoved a glass into his hand and they drank it down. Even with his tolerance for strong drink, Porthos had to give a muffled cough, "What on earth was that?"

Aramis grinned and shook the now empty bottle, "Something to start off our celebration, are you feeling ready for more revelry now?"

Porthos grinned, "Indeed I do."

 

[Asa]

She smiled drinking and laughing with them. Truly happy she did still remain close to Porthos curling next to him as the night rolled on.

 

[TertiusHuman]

It was the early hours of the next morning when everybody went to their beds, Porthos was the last up and he checked the windows and outside doors to make certain that all was secure and closed. He went to his room just off the kitchen, stripped off his jacket, and smiled to himself as he remembered the feel of Katharina's body against his as she stayed near him the entire evening.

He had just secured his weapons and had removed his shirt when his door opened. Turning, ready to defend himself, he only stared as she slipped into his room and closed the door behind her.

 

[Asa]

Already so afraid of me?

She laughed but turned to go.

Just wanted to say good night I guess... unless.

 

[TertiusHuman]

They had already said their goodnights, that Porthos knew. Which meant that she could only be there for other reasons. He relaxed and smiled at her

"Not afraid of you, just didn't expect you, I thought I am the only one still up"

He took a seat on the bed, "You don't have to leave."

 

[Asa]

She had no idea how really to process this freedom and in many respects, she was terrified of it. Turning she looked back to him and walked over biting at her lip.

It is all still so overwhelming at times.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He nodded, watching her as she moved closer to him

"I felt the same when I became freed from the mortal coil, to stand aside from the norm and to find myself able to live much longer if not forever."

 

[Asa]

She stood there listening.

I know of no heir so what happens to the lands he owned that my people camp within during the travelling seasons?

 

[TertiusHuman]

"If there's no heir, it will fall under the municipality until a buyer can be found, then the grounds will belong to that entity."

He thought about it for a moment

"If he had no last will and testament, that means that the state will become the owners. Do you know if he had set up any documents?"

 

[Asa]

I... I do not know.

She shook her head and sighed. Looking to him again she reached a hand to his cheek.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He smiled as she touched his cheek

"Perhaps that is a worry for later today, when the sun has risen and a new light falls upon the land."

 

[Asa]

Nodding she smiled staying close to him studying his eyes. Her mind ran circles trying to understand the wanting closeness willingly as her hand linger on his cheek. A soft smile on her lips.

 

[TertiusHuman]

Looking up at her, his hand rested gently over her own, tracing gently over the veins and following the small bones of her hand and fingers. He pat his lap, offering her the most intimate of seats that she could take.

 

[Asa]

She smiled sitting down still so focused on his eyes.

So what to do until then?

 

[TertiusHuman]

He smiled as she straddled his lap, resting one arm around her, their eyes locked as he slowly guided her hand from his cheek and softly kissed the soft palm

"Anything you wish to do mon cher, anything your beautiful heart desires."

 

[Asa]

Enjoy my freedom... With you.

She smiled and kissed him softly.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He returned her kiss, his hand now resting on her cheek as he enjoyed the touch and taste of her lips against his

"I am definitely one who want to enjoy that with you"

 

[Asa]

Kissing him softly again. Curling closer in his embrace arms wrapping around his neck and shoulders.

Well then let us both enjoy this freedom.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He slipped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer, kissing her deeper. Filling his senses with her as she pressed up against him.

"Freedom is made to be enjoyed."

 

[Asa]

Yeah...

softly fell from her lips as the kiss broke briefly for air. Pressing firmly into another kiss her arms hugged him closer still.

 

[TertiusHuman]

His hands slowly stroked over her back as she hugged him closer, their lips locking again in a deep, warm kiss. His tongue slid into her mouth, meeting her tongue, and slowly rubbed against it. For a long moment in time, he tasted her, feeling her warm body against his.

 

[Asa]

She curled closer to him a whimper escaping her as they kissed. Her arms hugging him tighter. Perhaps a little out of fear or need for an anchor in the moment of all the overwhelming feelings or simply to be truly closer to him.

 

[TertiusHuman]

He held her close as they kissed, this was not the experimenting kissing they shared while hiding in the fairgrounds. This was deeper and much more free between them, he knew that he had to be gentle, in fact he wanted to be gentle, that was exactly what she deserved.
