[ he can only smile at her sweet little compliment, their noses nudging affectionately together. tighnari has never put much stock into what he looks like - it's never much mattered, to him. he takes care of himself, yes, keeps clean and tidy, but being called beautiful.. he finds that he likes it, coming from her. he finds that he likes a great many things coming from her.
right now, however, there is one thing he wants above all the rest, and with her permission, at last they can achieve it. tighnari doesn't ask again. his hips roll forward, his cock pushing into the tight heat of her body, and gods, it feels.. it feels more than exquisite. it's been so long since tighnari has experienced this that he wonders how it's possible that he went so long without it, how it's possible that he convinced himself that it doesn't matter, that it isn't necessary, when now it feels as if nothing else could be more imperative.
for all the grief that this place has caused them, all the pain and suffering, he is glad that they've met. that they can have this now, together. ]
Gods, Ori -
[ he calls her name like a prayer, his hips twitching forward until he's buried in her to the hilt, her slick heat enveloping him fully, bringing with it such sweet pleasure that for a moment he can think of nothing but the feeling of their bodies connected, intimate and perfect. at last his hands skim down her body, taking hold of the meat of her thighs, feeling her soft stockings beneath his palms as he hikes her thighs higher around his waist. ]
[ At last, they can achieve it. Ori hadn't known how much she needed this, needed him, until he finally thrusts into her, taking her in such a way that in the moment, they aren't in some far-flung dream of a dimension, pawns in a game set by an unknown power. They are home, in this bed, in each other's arms, and there's only one word that comes to mind as her lips part to let loose another moan, this one louder than any other. ]
Yes... Nari...
[ Spirits, he's so deep, and she's so tight around him, his cock filling her so perfectly. And then he takes her by her thighs and moves them in a way that only accentuates that feeling further, sending her back arching off the bed and her fingers curling tightly into his bedding. ]
S—So good...
[ She crosses her calves at his back and presses her legs tightly around him, holding him close, savoring this most intimate of feeling of him buried deep within her for the first time. And for that same reason, her thinner, sparse tail moves and flicks against the end of his tail before it wraps around it, too, tugging lightly in the process. ]
[ she feels absolutely perfect, so warm and tight around him that for a moment tighnari is left dazed and desperate, his breath hitching hard, his ears pressed hard back against his hair, his face and neck flushed hot. when was the last time he felt this? he can hardly remember. years ago, before he moved to avidya forest to become a forest ranger.
but he's glad he's waited. such intimacy is precious, and he would only want to share it with someone he cares for, with people he has curated his space with. though he and ori's relationship has bloomed into something new now, she was his friend first and foremost, someone he could trust and keep near, someone who made him feel warm and comfortable in this terrible place. this progression feels entirely natural.
he wants to tell her as much, to tell her how good she feels, how perfect, but all that comes out of his mouth is a low, rumbling moan before he's closing his mouth over hers.
tighnari's hips begin to move rhythmically, his pace gentle, but deep, every forward rock of his hips driving his cock deep into her body, heat beginning to twist in his gut. tighnari's lips part, his tongue dipping into her mouth to taste her, while his hands grasp more tightly at her thighs, her legs wrapped around him cocooning him in a sweet, pleasant warmth. ]
[ Ori bids herself to open her eyes, even just a little, and through her half-lidded gaze she is greeted with such a sweet, beautiful sight. She truly has never been with anyone quite like him before, and he feels like a breath of fresh air even in this most intimate of moments. Perhaps especially in these most intimate of moments.
When one has lived as long as she has, the years begin to blur together, and hers have been marked by the relationships coming and going, both friendly and otherwise, the consequences of her druidic lifespan beginning to catch up to her. But she needn't worry about that right now. All that truly matters is exactly that which fills Tighnari's mind, too, the warmth and comfort they find in each other within this otherwise terrible place.
As if he reads her mind, hers part in a silent plea, kiss me, just as he captures them in a kiss more searing and devouring than the last, and spirits, it's perfect, even more so as he begins a steady, maddening rhythm as he thrusts deeply into her, his grip on her thighs firm but inescapable. Good. The brief feeling of discomfort she'd felt - simply an effect of it having been a while since last she had sex - melts away as their shared heat and passion overtake her senses, and she begins to move her hips in tandem with his, meeting his every thrust to take his cock deeply into her.
She is just as eager and longing to taste him, angling her head to deepen their kiss even further, being mindful of her tiefling fangs scraping against his lips. Her hands, all the while, come up to caress his ears, fingertips finding and caressing the soft tufts of fur there, knowing now how much he enjoys that touch. She'll meet every groan and whine and sound of his with her own, in a blissful chorus of their time together. ]
[ they move together perfectly, their bodies finding an easy rhythm as tighnari's hips roll downward to meet ori's upward thrusts, and it isn't long before tighnari can barely think through all the pleasure rocking his body, washing over him from head to toe. she's tight, but she's also so sinfully slick that tighnari glides into her easily, without resistance, and the delectable squeeze of her inner walls around his cock is enough to drive him wild.
for all they have gone slowly in arriving at this moment, tighnari finds that his self-control is slowly beginning to unravel. she feels so good, she smells like sweet flowers and sweat and sex, the soft sounds she breathes are music to his sensitive ears, flooding through him, earning low moans and soft gasps of his own, lost between their mouths. ]
You're so good -
[ her thighs tight around his hips, her hands in his hair, moving over his ears - it's all so sharply pleasurable that soon enough his hips are rocking more quickly, snapping downward, his claws sinking against her thighs, pricking holes in her delicate stockings. his cock sinks into her, hard and deep, and tighnari breaks from the kiss to drag his wet mouth along her jaw and toward her ear, breathing hot against it. ]
[ She can feel the walls of restraint begin to crack and crumble for both of them, heralded for her part by the growing pitch and volume of her voice in every wordless whimper, affirmation, and cry of his name. The air is filled with the headiness of their intimacy, the sounds of the bed creaking beneath them, the wet slap of skin on skin, their voices mingling almost in call and response, her stockings ripping more and more after his claws pierce into the sheer garment.
But, she decides, just coming like this won't do. Not for Tighnari. He's taken such good care of her, not just tonight but with his comforting, friendly company in the time since she's met him, his idle conversation and talk of his home anchoring her in moments when she might otherwise have been lost in her own head. ]
N—Nari— I want to—
[ Spirits, is it hard to talk like this when she feels so goddamn good. Leaving her words hanging, she instead moves her hands to grasp at his shoulders, her legs tightening even more around him as she gently pushes at him and tries to pull herself up so that she can ease him onto his back, displaying a hidden strength that most would consider surprising from the tiefling. But all for good reason - if he allows it, he would be on his back with Ori on top of him, flushed and wanting and her skin slick with sweat, her long hair hugging the curves of her body.
The change in positions is accompanied, of course, by a pause in the rhythm they've built up. But she fills that pause with a warm smile down at him, reaching down to brush his dark hair out of his face so that she can see him clearly as she resumes that rhythm again, moving herself up along him and then bringing herself down to take him in just as deeply as she had in the moments before. ]
[ tighnari doesn't expect it when she shifts and begins to move them, because it had felt so good and he hadn't wanted to interrupt their building, tightening pleasure, but he wants whatever she wants, to give her what she desires. so tighnari moves with her, rolling onto his back and shifting against the sheets until she is over him, sitting astride his lap.
breathless, tighnari's eyes follow the line of her body up to her face, his pupils blown wide and dark, his lips parted and pink, still wet from their kisses. gods, she looks beautiful, like a goddess above him, with her long hair fanned out against her body, and her skin all but glowing, dewy and tacky with sweat. tighnari can do little more than submit to her loveliness, his heart pounding and his expression slack as he gazes up toward her. right now, he would give her anything. he would give her the world. the intimacy between them is powerful, magnetic. ]
You're..
[ he starts, but soon she's moving again, and his words melt away into a low, velvety groan, his delicate features twisting up with pleasure as her hips begin to rock, gliding down into his lap, enveloping his cock in her perfect wet heat.
it's all he can do to buck his hips upward, to slide his hands up her thighs, over torn stockings, to grasp at her hips, his thumbs pressing into their hollows. ]
[ Oh but he is beautiful beneath her, his lovely features shifting in his bliss, letting her know just how good he feels as she rides him. ]
You feel so good, Nari...
[ Especially with the roughened pads of his thumbs pressing hard into her hips, although there's somewhere else she'd rather feel his hands... And to that end, her free hand moves over one of his, grasping gently to guide it over and behind her hip and along her back until the tips of his fingers are touching the base of her own tail. ]
Touch me there— ah— please...?
[ All the while, she continues rocking her hips in tandem with his, in perfect unison, even as she starts to pick up the pace a bit, the promise of bliss feeling ever closer with each thrust, each time his cock glides so perfectly into her, filling her with his length, each time she brings herself down, grinding her clit against him. She won't last too much longer, especially if he starts to play with her tail. ]
[ he likes a partner who knows what they want, who isn't afraid to show him and tell him what feels good, so when she guides his hand he's happy to oblige her. it seems they have similar tastes, hmm?
tighnari's quite distracted by the pleasure of her body, but he still bends his focus toward pleasing her, dragging his fingertips in slow movements at the base of her back, before they glide down her tail, his thumb rubbing in gentle circles, his claws dragging over her soft skin.
and all the while his hips are shifting, rocking up into each of her downward thrusts, his free hand on her hip tightening, squeezing, tugging her down in encouragement. tighnari is all but squirming against the sheets made damp with his sweat, his dark hair a wild mess, his ears pinned to the sides. his tail thumps hard against the blankets, and it's quite clear that he, too, is growing closer and closer with every rhythmic rock of their bodies together. ]
Ori, Ori -
[ her name rolls off of his tongue, reverent and sweet, as tighnari's movements become more erratic, his thighs tensing beneath her. ]
[ Hearing her name on his lips like that is delightful, and it drives her wild. The mere sound of it along with the press of his rough, clawed fingers at her tail bring her ever closer to the brink and like him, she lets loose any remaining shred of restraint as she meets him thrust-for-thrust, hard, feeling that thread of pleasure growing more and more taut. ]
M-Me too. Nari...
[ It's the last, conscious action she can do, to reach for his hand at her hip to lace their fingers together, squeezing it hard as she finally, finally tumbles over that edge right into bliss. That taut thread snaps, sending waves of pleasure wracking through her entire body as her walls clench and quiver around his cock. She throws her head back, her lips parting to call his name one last time before it withers into a pleasured, sated cry.
But even through all of that, she looks down at him with a searing gaze. Spirits, does she need to see him come undone beneath her. ]
[ he can feel it, how close she is growing to the edge, how her body is tightening up so wonderfully around him, and when she comes her body snaps tightly around his cock, squeezing, and it feels so good that he can hardly stand it. the feel of her body, combined with the lovely sounds she makes is more than enough to send him over the edge.
tighnari's abdomen tenses tightly, his swift breathing and erratic, staccato movements more than enough to herald his climax - he comes hard, his hips snapping upward, his back arching away from the rumpled sheets, his hands on her grasping tightly as he groans and whines her name. pleasure crashes over his head, rough and violent as a cresting wave, washing away all else, and for a few blissful, whiteout seconds tighnari can feel nothing but bliss as he spills into her, sticky and hot, flooding her body with heat. ]
Oh, Gods..
[ he groans, his eyes squeezed shut, his face twisted up in sweet pleasure. it's been far too long since tighnari last felt this sensation, the wonder and privilege of a partner's pleasure.
tighnari's hands skim up her sides, pulling her down toward him, seeking her mouth with his own. ]
[ He fills her with the white hot heat of his spend, and she hums, savoring that blissful, albeit fleeting feeling. It's felt like so long since she last felt this, last shared this sort of euphoria with someone she truly cares for and respects. Ori can feel how absolutely drenched she is between her legs, from her sweat and her slick and, now, his seed - a veritable mess, she's sure, yet she can't bring herself to mind. And Tighnari is gorgeous beneath her, all flushed and mussed and utterly sated. Perfect.
It's with a dazed smile on her face that he pulls her down toward him easily, gladly meeting his lips with her own as she takes his hands and entwines their fingers together, pressing them into the pillow beneath his head. Her kiss is tender, caring, and slow in their shared afterglow while she lets her body practically melt onto his. But it's also brief, if only so that she can mutter against his lips, ]
[ they kiss, and tighnari hums into it, his hands grasping tightly to her until she takes them in her own, pressing them into the pillow on either side of his head.
she fills his whole world, looming over him, pressed against him, her hair like a curtain around them both, shielding them from the world around them. tighnari's fingers squeeze her own, and he kisses her with closed eyes, pushing up into her, his hips still rocking slowly, smoothly, in an attempt to draw out every last drop of pleasure from them both. though after a moment he's chuckling against her lips. ]
You make it sound so transactional.
[ he says, smiling, his thumbs smoothing along the sides of her knuckles, his tail lashing contentedly against the bed, thumping against it. ]
But I think I needed that. We both did, if my assumption is correct.
[ She whimpers oh, so quietly as he slowly pumps into her a few more times, drawing their pleasure out, and as if to promise that more is yet to come...
He chuckles against her, and her lips drag over the skin of his lovely, handsome face, from the edge of his lips, across his cheek, until she finally presses a kiss to the corner of his eye. ]
Oh... I didn't mean to make it sound like that...
[ Though she supposes he's not too upset by her remark, judging from the way his tail continues to swish across the bed. ]
Mmm, I definitely needed it too. [ Sweetly, she draws in a deep breath, taking in the scent of him. ] Is it okay if I sleep here...?
[ her kisses drag across his skin, and tighnari murmurs a soft sound of assent, his eyes fluttering momentarily closed, his hands in hers tightening, holding, her fingers in hers feel intimate and tender, but he enjoys the feel of it, the closeness between them. ]
Of course.
[ he can't imagine letting her go after this, or telling her to leave - he wants her near, he wants to keep kissing her, keep touching her, as he slowly sorts out his heart, and all the deep feelings this has kicked up in his chest.
tightening his hands in hers, tighnari shifts his weight, using his also surprising strength to turn them until they're lying on their sides, facing one another, her thigh still hiked comfortably over his hip. nudging his nose against her cheek, tighnari breathes in the scent of her skin, the smell of sweat and sex still clinging to her, and him as well, combined with the deep musk of his fur. ]
[ Everything about this, about him is so incredibly tender, and there's nothing in her that isn't relieved and glad for this, or what they've done. They're right. They needed this.
But please stay, he says, and truly there are matters for each of them to sort out in their hearts... To make sense of the feelings arising and to slot them into place, amidst everything else.
Especially because - when was the last time she'd heard that? Please stay? Rather than I've got to head out, or we should probably get going...
Ori closes her eyes and wraps herself around him just a little bit tighter, her fingers finally letting go of his if only to curl against his chest, where she can feel him still trying to catch his breath, his heart beating for her... ]
I will. I'll stay...
[ Her voice trails off as her gaze falls to his sweet lips again, just as she presses in and catches them in another needy kiss. ]
[ she wraps herself around him, warm and yielding, and tighnari's arms coil around her middle, squeezing her close. she'll stay. good. he isn't ready to give up this closeness, not when they've only just achieved it, not when they both need it so badly.
they kiss, and tighnari hums softly into it, tilting his head to better slot their mouths together. kissing her is already beginning to feel so familiar, so easy, they've learned one another's lips so thoroughly over the course of this hour or so together that it feels as simple and effortless as breathing. ]
All right.
[ he finally murmurs, before he's reaching with one hand to snag the blanket, to tug it over them both. his nose nudges alongside her own, and he exhales softly, his fingertips drawing idle patterns at the small of her back, his tail swaying beneath the blanket. ]
[ Ori can't help but smile against him as he pulls the blanket over them both, even more so when she notices the way it shifts from the way his tail sways beneath... It's so utterly endearing, and her heart melts.
With another deep breath, she draws in the smell of sweat and sex and him, of all his unique features, and she nuzzles him in turn. ]
Tighnari...
[ She ought to tell him why it was that she came here, tonight. She's tired, and tired of dancing around intimacy after all these years. He should know... ]
I felt... Lonely, tonight. Especially because of all that mess with the mistletoe. But I came here because I wanted to see you.
[ She doesn't want him to think that she only appeared at his door because he was a convenient body to keep hers warm. That's not the case at all... If that were truly the case, she would have gone elsewhere. But it's Tighnari's door she appeared at tonight because she knows she can trust him, because he's always been kind company, because they understand each other. But it is true that her loneliness played a role, tonight. ]
[ she says his name so softly, and tighnari can't help but smile, his heart twisting behind his ribs. ]
I see. Well, I'm glad.
[ his hooded eyes move over her face, taking in her softened features, and with one hand he pushes the damp hair from her eyes, tucking it behind her ear. it's time to talk like adults, it would seem; tighnari isn't nervous when it comes to voicing his feelings, and he never has been. this isn't something that frightens him. rejection can be painful, of course, but it's still better to be honest, in the end. ]
I've had feelings for you for some time, I think. I'm not sure I recognized them until recently. This is.. uncommon for me.
[ tighnari is so invested in his work, usually, that he hardly has the time to dedicate to partnership, or building a close interpersonal relationship with someone. it's not that he has no desire to - he'd always imagined he would find a mate someday, but it certainly wasn't a priority. ]
[ She mirrors his gaze in her amber eyes, finding herself lost in the deep woods that his eyes remind her of. She has come to know Tighnari as an honest, straightforward man, and she knows that he would never tell her something just because it was what she would want to hear. It is - in keeping with the theme of honesty - so refreshing.
And it's also why his admission captures her heart so wholly and utterly, even in its uncertainty. Because she knows that she can depend on him to be true to his word.
She smiles, warm and gentle and caring as always, and answers at first with another kiss to his lips as a hand comes up to cup his cheek. Something blooms and floods her heart then and there; the newness of this, the elation that these feelings are now out in the open, and for once she doesn't find herself doubting their verity, because it's Tighnari. She doesn't have to second guess him, or herself. As much as her mind wants to immediately find all the ways that she doesn't deserve this or him, she can't bring herself to.
Instead, she chooses to think back on all of the little moments they've shared. Feelings building slowly, quietly even in the form of friendship. Company shared in idle talk of their homes, about plants, Sumeru, her magic. In loaves of bread and food prepared together. Everything. ]
It's... It's been some time since I've thought about things like this. But I'm... So happy to hear you say that. Because I feel it, too.
[ They can talk more seriously later, or tomorrow morning once they've slept. For now, she's much more interested in kissing him again, this time parting her lips against his for a deeper kiss. ]
[ her hand lifts to his face, and tighnari closes his eyes, pressing his nose and mouth into her palm, a soft purr beginning to roll in his chest, vibrating against her fingers, his ears folded back in a way that looks almost.. demure. she's seeing him in a rare, vulnerable moment, something that few people can attest to bearing witness to. ]
I had a feeling you might.
[ they've been drawn into this together, after all, and tighnari is a very perceptive person - but he nevertheless couldn't have known for sure, and he's intensely happy that the outcome seems favorable.
he's still purring even when they kiss, the sound of it rumbling against her lips and into her mouth as their lips part, deepening the kiss. tighnari's arms around her tighten, scooping her right up against his body, his thigh pressing between hers, his tail still thumping contentedly. both hands skate up her back, then down again, his tongue curling against hers, though he's soon murmuring against her lips. ]
We should sleep soon, before you rile me up again..
[ He's absolutely lovely and precious like this, purring against their kiss and against her body, his ears pinned back so adorably that she can't help but reach up and thread her fingers into the tufts of fur at the base of his ears again. Her tongue slides against his with ease, savoring the taste of him, and her thighs tighten around his. And then he's murmuring against her lips, meeting that remark with somewhat of a wicked glint in her eyes.
Would that be so bad? she wants to say, but between the ball and the mistletoe and everything else... She can't help but want to agree. At length, she presses just one last, gentle kiss to his lips before she sighs against him. ]
Mm, you're right... There's been enough excitement or one night.
[ She writhes in his arms a bit, just enough to get him to loosen his arms around her such that she can wrap her arms around him in turn, pulling him down gently and moving herself such that he can rest his head on her chest. ]
How's this? I don't want you to hit your head on my horns...
[ no, it wouldn't be so bad, and if she really wanted it he would be happy to go another round, but it is late, and they've had a long day and evening. they should probably get some sleep. one can never know what the next days might bring in reverie, but.. with any hope, they'll have plenty of time to talk and enjoy one another in the morning.
ori adjusts them, jockeying into a new position, and tighnari is content to follow her lead, moving over her so he can settle down against her body, with his head nestled against her warm, soft chest. it's easy to hear the strong, steady beat of her heart. ]
So long as you don't mind my ears in your face.
[ he says around a soft chuckle, the tips of his ears indeed brushing beneath her chin, though he folds them back in an attempt to keep them out of the way. still, they're bound to spring back up in the night.. ]
[ She chuckles, too, letting her quiet voice thrum against him before she settles into a steady rise and fall of her chest as she breathes, finally finally relaxed, probably the most relaxed she's felt in a long while here... ]
Oh, it's alright. I like your ears.
[ And to demonstrate as much, she nuzzles in, touching the tip of her nose to the tip of one of his ears. ]
[ tighnari, too, can't say he's been this relaxed in a long, long while, perhaps not at all since he arrived here to begin with, but the steady movement of her breathing alongside the steady beat of her heart is enough to allow him to unwind for the first time in a long time. he feels safe, which is perhaps unwise, considering the fact that tragedy could strike at any time here, but..
maybe for one night, it's all right. for one night, it's fine.
with a soft hum, tighnari closes his eyes. ]
Goodnight, Ori.
[ and exhausted as he is, it isn't long before tighnari is fast asleep, his tail twitching beneath the blankets. ]

right now, however, there is one thing he wants above all the rest, and with her permission, at last they can achieve it. tighnari doesn't ask again. his hips roll forward, his cock pushing into the tight heat of her body, and gods, it feels.. it feels more than exquisite. it's been so long since tighnari has experienced this that he wonders how it's possible that he went so long without it, how it's possible that he convinced himself that it doesn't matter, that it isn't necessary, when now it feels as if nothing else could be more imperative.
for all the grief that this place has caused them, all the pain and suffering, he is glad that they've met. that they can have this now, together. ]

Yes... Nari...
[ Spirits, he's so deep, and she's so tight around him, his cock filling her so perfectly. And then he takes her by her thighs and moves them in a way that only accentuates that feeling further, sending her back arching off the bed and her fingers curling tightly into his bedding. ]
S—So good...
[ She crosses her calves at his back and presses her legs tightly around him, holding him close, savoring this most intimate of feeling of him buried deep within her for the first time. And for that same reason, her thinner, sparse tail moves and flicks against the end of his tail before it wraps around it, too, tugging lightly in the process. ]

breathless, tighnari's eyes follow the line of her body up to her face, his pupils blown wide and dark, his lips parted and pink, still wet from their kisses. gods, she looks beautiful, like a goddess above him, with her long hair fanned out against her body, and her skin all but glowing, dewy and tacky with sweat. tighnari can do little more than submit to her loveliness, his heart pounding and his expression slack as he gazes up toward her. right now, he would give her anything. he would give her the world. the intimacy between them is powerful, magnetic. ]
You're..
[ he starts, but soon she's moving again, and his words melt away into a low, velvety groan, his delicate features twisting up with pleasure as her hips begin to rock, gliding down into his lap, enveloping his cock in her perfect wet heat.
it's all he can do to buck his hips upward, to slide his hands up her thighs, over torn stockings, to grasp at her hips, his thumbs pressing into their hollows. ]
Please..
no subject
You feel so good, Nari...
[ Especially with the roughened pads of his thumbs pressing hard into her hips, although there's somewhere else she'd rather feel his hands... And to that end, her free hand moves over one of his, grasping gently to guide it over and behind her hip and along her back until the tips of his fingers are touching the base of her own tail. ]
Touch me there— ah— please...?
[ All the while, she continues rocking her hips in tandem with his, in perfect unison, even as she starts to pick up the pace a bit, the promise of bliss feeling ever closer with each thrust, each time his cock glides so perfectly into her, filling her with his length, each time she brings herself down, grinding her clit against him. She won't last too much longer, especially if he starts to play with her tail. ]
no subject
tighnari's quite distracted by the pleasure of her body, but he still bends his focus toward pleasing her, dragging his fingertips in slow movements at the base of her back, before they glide down her tail, his thumb rubbing in gentle circles, his claws dragging over her soft skin.
and all the while his hips are shifting, rocking up into each of her downward thrusts, his free hand on her hip tightening, squeezing, tugging her down in encouragement. tighnari is all but squirming against the sheets made damp with his sweat, his dark hair a wild mess, his ears pinned to the sides. his tail thumps hard against the blankets, and it's quite clear that he, too, is growing closer and closer with every rhythmic rock of their bodies together. ]
Ori, Ori -
[ her name rolls off of his tongue, reverent and sweet, as tighnari's movements become more erratic, his thighs tensing beneath her. ]
I'm close..
no subject
M-Me too. Nari...
[ It's the last, conscious action she can do, to reach for his hand at her hip to lace their fingers together, squeezing it hard as she finally, finally tumbles over that edge right into bliss. That taut thread snaps, sending waves of pleasure wracking through her entire body as her walls clench and quiver around his cock. She throws her head back, her lips parting to call his name one last time before it withers into a pleasured, sated cry.
But even through all of that, she looks down at him with a searing gaze. Spirits, does she need to see him come undone beneath her. ]
no subject
tighnari's abdomen tenses tightly, his swift breathing and erratic, staccato movements more than enough to herald his climax - he comes hard, his hips snapping upward, his back arching away from the rumpled sheets, his hands on her grasping tightly as he groans and whines her name. pleasure crashes over his head, rough and violent as a cresting wave, washing away all else, and for a few blissful, whiteout seconds tighnari can feel nothing but bliss as he spills into her, sticky and hot, flooding her body with heat. ]
Oh, Gods..
[ he groans, his eyes squeezed shut, his face twisted up in sweet pleasure. it's been far too long since tighnari last felt this sensation, the wonder and privilege of a partner's pleasure.
tighnari's hands skim up her sides, pulling her down toward him, seeking her mouth with his own. ]
no subject
It's with a dazed smile on her face that he pulls her down toward him easily, gladly meeting his lips with her own as she takes his hands and entwines their fingers together, pressing them into the pillow beneath his head. Her kiss is tender, caring, and slow in their shared afterglow while she lets her body practically melt onto his. But it's also brief, if only so that she can mutter against his lips, ]
You were wonderful... Thank you, Nari.
no subject
she fills his whole world, looming over him, pressed against him, her hair like a curtain around them both, shielding them from the world around them. tighnari's fingers squeeze her own, and he kisses her with closed eyes, pushing up into her, his hips still rocking slowly, smoothly, in an attempt to draw out every last drop of pleasure from them both. though after a moment he's chuckling against her lips. ]
You make it sound so transactional.
[ he says, smiling, his thumbs smoothing along the sides of her knuckles, his tail lashing contentedly against the bed, thumping against it. ]
But I think I needed that. We both did, if my assumption is correct.
no subject
He chuckles against her, and her lips drag over the skin of his lovely, handsome face, from the edge of his lips, across his cheek, until she finally presses a kiss to the corner of his eye. ]
Oh... I didn't mean to make it sound like that...
[ Though she supposes he's not too upset by her remark, judging from the way his tail continues to swish across the bed. ]
Mmm, I definitely needed it too. [ Sweetly, she draws in a deep breath, taking in the scent of him. ] Is it okay if I sleep here...?
no subject
Of course.
[ he can't imagine letting her go after this, or telling her to leave - he wants her near, he wants to keep kissing her, keep touching her, as he slowly sorts out his heart, and all the deep feelings this has kicked up in his chest.
tightening his hands in hers, tighnari shifts his weight, using his also surprising strength to turn them until they're lying on their sides, facing one another, her thigh still hiked comfortably over his hip. nudging his nose against her cheek, tighnari breathes in the scent of her skin, the smell of sweat and sex still clinging to her, and him as well, combined with the deep musk of his fur. ]
Please stay.
no subject
But please stay, he says, and truly there are matters for each of them to sort out in their hearts... To make sense of the feelings arising and to slot them into place, amidst everything else.
Especially because - when was the last time she'd heard that? Please stay? Rather than I've got to head out, or we should probably get going...
Ori closes her eyes and wraps herself around him just a little bit tighter, her fingers finally letting go of his if only to curl against his chest, where she can feel him still trying to catch his breath, his heart beating for her... ]
I will. I'll stay...
[ Her voice trails off as her gaze falls to his sweet lips again, just as she presses in and catches them in another needy kiss. ]
no subject
they kiss, and tighnari hums softly into it, tilting his head to better slot their mouths together. kissing her is already beginning to feel so familiar, so easy, they've learned one another's lips so thoroughly over the course of this hour or so together that it feels as simple and effortless as breathing. ]
All right.
[ he finally murmurs, before he's reaching with one hand to snag the blanket, to tug it over them both. his nose nudges alongside her own, and he exhales softly, his fingertips drawing idle patterns at the small of her back, his tail swaying beneath the blanket. ]
I'm glad you came here tonight.
no subject
With another deep breath, she draws in the smell of sweat and sex and him, of all his unique features, and she nuzzles him in turn. ]
Tighnari...
[ She ought to tell him why it was that she came here, tonight. She's tired, and tired of dancing around intimacy after all these years. He should know... ]
I felt... Lonely, tonight. Especially because of all that mess with the mistletoe. But I came here because I wanted to see you.
[ She doesn't want him to think that she only appeared at his door because he was a convenient body to keep hers warm. That's not the case at all... If that were truly the case, she would have gone elsewhere. But it's Tighnari's door she appeared at tonight because she knows she can trust him, because he's always been kind company, because they understand each other. But it is true that her loneliness played a role, tonight. ]
I'm really glad I came here, too.
no subject
I see. Well, I'm glad.
[ his hooded eyes move over her face, taking in her softened features, and with one hand he pushes the damp hair from her eyes, tucking it behind her ear. it's time to talk like adults, it would seem; tighnari isn't nervous when it comes to voicing his feelings, and he never has been. this isn't something that frightens him. rejection can be painful, of course, but it's still better to be honest, in the end. ]
I've had feelings for you for some time, I think. I'm not sure I recognized them until recently. This is.. uncommon for me.
[ tighnari is so invested in his work, usually, that he hardly has the time to dedicate to partnership, or building a close interpersonal relationship with someone. it's not that he has no desire to - he'd always imagined he would find a mate someday, but it certainly wasn't a priority. ]
no subject
And it's also why his admission captures her heart so wholly and utterly, even in its uncertainty. Because she knows that she can depend on him to be true to his word.
She smiles, warm and gentle and caring as always, and answers at first with another kiss to his lips as a hand comes up to cup his cheek. Something blooms and floods her heart then and there; the newness of this, the elation that these feelings are now out in the open, and for once she doesn't find herself doubting their verity, because it's Tighnari. She doesn't have to second guess him, or herself. As much as her mind wants to immediately find all the ways that she doesn't deserve this or him, she can't bring herself to.
Instead, she chooses to think back on all of the little moments they've shared. Feelings building slowly, quietly even in the form of friendship. Company shared in idle talk of their homes, about plants, Sumeru, her magic. In loaves of bread and food prepared together. Everything. ]
It's... It's been some time since I've thought about things like this. But I'm... So happy to hear you say that. Because I feel it, too.
[ They can talk more seriously later, or tomorrow morning once they've slept. For now, she's much more interested in kissing him again, this time parting her lips against his for a deeper kiss. ]
no subject
I had a feeling you might.
[ they've been drawn into this together, after all, and tighnari is a very perceptive person - but he nevertheless couldn't have known for sure, and he's intensely happy that the outcome seems favorable.
he's still purring even when they kiss, the sound of it rumbling against her lips and into her mouth as their lips part, deepening the kiss. tighnari's arms around her tighten, scooping her right up against his body, his thigh pressing between hers, his tail still thumping contentedly. both hands skate up her back, then down again, his tongue curling against hers, though he's soon murmuring against her lips. ]
We should sleep soon, before you rile me up again..
no subject
Would that be so bad? she wants to say, but between the ball and the mistletoe and everything else... She can't help but want to agree. At length, she presses just one last, gentle kiss to his lips before she sighs against him. ]
Mm, you're right... There's been enough excitement or one night.
[ She writhes in his arms a bit, just enough to get him to loosen his arms around her such that she can wrap her arms around him in turn, pulling him down gently and moving herself such that he can rest his head on her chest. ]
How's this? I don't want you to hit your head on my horns...
no subject
ori adjusts them, jockeying into a new position, and tighnari is content to follow her lead, moving over her so he can settle down against her body, with his head nestled against her warm, soft chest. it's easy to hear the strong, steady beat of her heart. ]
So long as you don't mind my ears in your face.
[ he says around a soft chuckle, the tips of his ears indeed brushing beneath her chin, though he folds them back in an attempt to keep them out of the way. still, they're bound to spring back up in the night.. ]
no subject
Oh, it's alright. I like your ears.
[ And to demonstrate as much, she nuzzles in, touching the tip of her nose to the tip of one of his ears. ]
Sweet dreams, Nari.
no subject
maybe for one night, it's all right. for one night, it's fine.
with a soft hum, tighnari closes his eyes. ]
Goodnight, Ori.
[ and exhausted as he is, it isn't long before tighnari is fast asleep, his tail twitching beneath the blankets. ]
