brave_kreyu | OOM All Skate Skellig Dream Magic Weirdness -Part Nine

Kreyu has gathered plenty of henna and even woad, a blue dye, for some experiments with designs on Skellig's skin.

"The blue would look lovely on you, I think," she remarks. "Your fairer skin would show it off quite well. Though I am far more experienced in applying henna."

She's gathered bits and pieces of designs to look at for inspiration. Celtic style knots, viking style abstract patterns and stylized beasts, the mandala and floral type designs he's admired on her, and more.

"I think you are right," he reaches for a piece of cheese, everything is within easy reach on their shared plate she's put together, and sips at his wine. "He felt...I could sense how nervous he was, the longing and desires rippling through his system."

Skellig might be cuddling just a touch closer than he 'usually' does with her.

"And it definitely... felt as if I had nothing to base my, his actions on," he adds. "It was her guidance taking the lead."

Kreyu is perfectly fine with close cuddling!

"I have wished that I could have been your first," she confesses. "That you would have never known a lover that did not accept, desire, ALL of you."

"Perhaps that is part of why the story pulled me in so deeply." She sips some of the wine. "I didn't want you to be afraid, wanted to give you pleasure, wanted to teach you as you taught me." She runs her fingers through his hair. "She wanted not to frighten you, him, too. Wanted his pleasure and her own with a ravenous intensity."

"I mean technically..."

Skellig is quiet for a long moment as he contemplates a few thoughts that are running through his mind - and his distraction is not due to the fact that she has her fingers running through his hair in the way he loves so much - before he speaks again.

"Technically, while you were not my first...and I do not remember my first in any detail...but you were my first who loved me," he says softly. "Who accepted me, desired and wanted me. So in some ways, I would call you...my first who was...meaningful? Meant something?"

"Oh," she buries her face in his neck, full of so many emotions. Her heart aches that none of his prior partners loved him, meant something. There is joy as well, that she has given him something wonderful, that she MEANS something in ways no one else ever has.

"They should have loved you, treated you like the treasure that you are," she says against his neck. "And yet I am selfishly glad that they did not, that they have no claim on you, no hold. I, I am not so sure where my own possessiveness, my greed for you, stops and HERS begins. SHE was so possessive of Him, would have killed that girl He kissed had the girl not been with another already and HE thoroughly caught by HER beauty."

"The only one who can make any sort of true claim on my soul is you," he says softly. "My dragon, My Kreyu. My mate," he presses a quick kiss to the top of her hairline as she nuzzles against him. "I know you are possessive, but it is not anything that I would be...afraid of."

He contemplates for a moment.

"I do not feel trapped or roughly bound by our agreements and arrangements," he adds. "Certainly there is a linkage to those moments we have shared and made our union stronger, but it is what I have desired, what I love. Which is you."

From:

brave_kreyu

"That is a great relief to my heart," she tells him. "It frightened me, how possessive I, She, was."

She laughs, low. "Though I enjoyed our unions very much. When He discovered so many pleasures for the first time..." It was more erotic than she would have expected it to be!

Unable to hide the flush that naturally rises to his skin, his color reddens gently as he sips at his wine.

"She...you..." he waves vaguely with his hand - clearly she KNOWS what he means - and smirks. "...quite the high level of arousal and fuss was stirred up. It was...invigorating." ~~And exhausting!~~ He leans over to catch her cheek with a kiss. "I think eventually my muscles remembered what it was that brings you the greatest pleasure...but he was lucky to have such a good teacher in her to show him the way until that happened."

From:

brave_kreyu

"And I was lucky to have such a good teacher in you, Skellig." She kisses his cheek. "I tried to teach him as you taught me, with utmost kindness and gentleness."

From:

27_53

"I would say you did very well in that regard."

He smiles broadly when she presses her lips against his cheek, laughing gently. "Any young man would be lucky to have you as their first, but I will admit it gives me a bit of smug pleasure knowing that you are mine, and I get to keep your talents all to myself."

She is HIS mate.

From:

brave_kreyu

She's visibly pleased when he says she did very well, feathers puffing up a little in pride.

"Your mate, no matter who else might look, might want, might beg for me to please them." She nuzzles his neck.

From:

27_53

"That is the greatest treasure of all, greater even than all those things we gathered from Heka's hoard, and all the things I know you and your brothers have stashed here within the Lair."

He lifts a piece of fruit from the tray and offers it to her, then grabs another for himself.

"You are my greatest discovery."

From:

brave_kreyu

She takes the offered piece of fruit with her lips rather than her fingers, makes a noise of satisfaction while she chews and swallows.

"And you are mine," she assures him.

"You have explored your greatest discovery quite thoroughly," she teases. "Found all the hidden places, settled yourself quite firmly in the heart."

From:

27_53

Skellig hums a little himself as she plucks the fruit from his fingertips with her lips, pleased. (See, they CAN be responsible. Eating AND hydrating, at the same time!) "I hope that I have not found every hidden place," he says playfully. "Because I do enjoy finding surprises to pleasure you."

He leans his body a little closer to hers, grateful for the contact - familiar and safe - as they snuggle.

"If I have found them all, then I will just have to invent new techniques."

From:

brave_kreyu

"I enjoy finding surprises to pleasure you too," she replies, tone equally playful. "Like my dress, and dancing for you."

Familiar, safe, loved, as they snuggle.

"I will be glad to see your new techniques, help you name them." She offers him a piece of fruit, so healthy and hydrating!

From:

27_53

Following her lead, he takes the fruit from her fingertips with only his mouth - and might let his lips linger just-slightly against her touch.

"And if I am making up new techniques, I'm sure you will be keen to do so yourself...I am happy to be experimented on."

Speaking of...he glances down at his stomach, the bird design painted blue. "The woad has held up well," he comments. "I am pleased with it."

From:

brave_kreyu

She shivers a little in pleasure at his lips on the sensitive tips of her fingers.

"Very keen," she replies. He might be able to tell that she has some ideas brewing in the back of her mind already.

"I am too," she says, gently stroking the design. "Though I think I will wait until after tomorrow to put more designs on you."

Her grin sharpens. "I had a hunt in mind for a hero and his eagle companion."

From:

27_53

Breathing out a laugh, he nods.

"Taking a bit of a break...may be wise," he says honestly, allowing his legs to stretch out in front of him, rolling his ankles and feet, wiggling his toes a bit. "While the mind of the young one who was born-winged may have been where I was...my body...not so much."

She has already rid him of his soreness and his headache, and now that he's eating and drinking, he feels much better. But he is still...not a teenaged boy.

From:

brave_kreyu

"It is a good thing the spell broke with the setting sun," she says, flushing. "The Goddess, she would have had Him as often as His interest and body could rise, even through the night."

"We shall only hunt in the morning if you feel up to it," she promises. "If you need to rest, we will."

From:

27_53

"As much as my interest would have us repeatedly entangled with one another in our bed - or anywhere the mood struck us - I am afraid that without another sort of...spell or aid, my body would not be able to rise that quickly to the occasion."

Not saying there are ways he can't make himself 'useful' in bed!

"But I feel I have done a fine job of keeping you satisfied so far?"

(He is not actually concerned about this - but then again, is there a tiny fraction of a shred of worry buried way back in the depths of his brain - is he really good enough for her, a Goddess?)

From:

brave_kreyu

"More than satisfied, Skellig," she assures him. She kisses him gently on the cheek. "None could satisfy me better than my Mate, my husband."

"Not that I would ever let them even TRY. You are the only one I want, the only one I NEED."

From:

27_53

"I do believe you," he says. "But I am grateful to hear you say it all the same."

He smirks when she kisses him. "And I will admit I do feel a bit smug when you say it, as I never imagined that I would be able to satisfy the desires of a Goddess. Not even in my wildest dreams and fantasies."

From:

brave_kreyu

Kreyu flushes a little, laughs. "One very small Goddess, in the grand scheme of things. One who was quite exhausted after a half day of work among her people."

From:

27_53

"Supporting your people - our people - is not without effort. I saw the stir in the energy among the crowds when you made yourself seen to them. It was taxing on many levels."

He remembers her exhaustion, how depleted she was.

Skellig reaches for one of her hands (after draining of the last of his wine from his cup, so as not to spill it as he tucks it beside his hip) with his and begins to rub gently at her fingers.

"You may be just a single Goddess, a small Goddess. But you are my Goddess," he says. "And the one that I choose to worship before all others."

From:

brave_kreyu

She smiles softly. "I do enjoy the ways you worship me with your hands and your mouth," she tells him.

"You still treat me as a partner, as Kreyu, your mate, your love. That, I would never wish to lose."

She's starting to feel a little drowsy, now that she's had food and drink and is all comfortable in their bed.

From:

27_53

"You will always be Kreyu to me first and foremost," he says. "Above the rest of all of it. It was you that I fell in love with," he adds. "It was the vibrancy of your soul, your spirit, your Karma that lead me to realize that I was worthy of such treatment as you have given me. That did not require you to be a Goddess."

Skellig presses his lips to her temple, glances at their cups and the plate - then to the table. It would not be difficult to get out of the bed and set them safely away - but then he'd have to move from where he's curled up with her...

"You stay," he says softly. "I will put this up."
