Let's Give 'Em Somethin' to Talk About
|
Looking as impatient as her howl had suggested, Esti stood waiting for him at the border. As he approached, Valentine fixed the fae with a questioning look, one browspot quirked curiously. "Why the tone?" he queried before parting with a sarcastic question, "Is the world ending?" His lips lifted in a smirk to expose the tips of his canines. "Maybe you just missed me." He would be lying if he said he wasn't aware of her state; her scent had reached him long before she'd come into sight. Adopting a professional front, he sought to ignore it. Perhaps she information for him. |

Esti, of course, responded with sarcasm. He expected nothing less. If she'd given him a serious answer he'd have known immediately that something was up. "Oh, I have an idea," he quipped. "...risking my life every day for your undying affection." He snorted. "Baby girl," He was hoping to elicit a reaction. Oh, please let her try to stomp on his toes this time. "You have it." His ears flicked at her news. "Which pack. I need details." He already knew of Drashiel's pack, since the former alpha himself was in Imperium, but perhaps there was another? It seemed they were dropping like flies; something that bothered him little. It meant that there were more pack-oriented wolves for the taking. He just needed to find them. |

He didn't get the reaction he was hoping for. No simper, no flounce, no mutilated toes. Damn. He'd been looking forward to taking her down. She did look oddly pleased, though, and it appeared to be genuine. Which was unlike the Esti he thought he knew. Sinking to his haunches, Valentine listened as she told him what he already knew. Regium had been gone for several weeks; Drashiel and co's presence in Imperium confirming it. He was not altogether pleased that she had come all the way to the pack for such a simply piece of information. The whole point of having rogue agents was to have a group with no ties to the pack. Esti made a home of his borders enough that he could no longer consider her a secret. He needed to think about it some more, but perhaps it was time for her to make a choice. "Ah, yes. This news came to me some weeks ago." A wicked glimmer lighting his gaze, he teased, "I suppose you are looking for some kind of reward for your efforts? Even though they were in vain?" Why not? She had tried. There was a kill not far from the border that he was willing to share; a small thing, but perhaps enough to keep her around? |

Her reaction was one he hadn't expected, but should have. Esti moved closer, speaking of a reward and their mutual enjoyment. Before he could reply she was in his space and teasing along his jaw, placing a kiss at his chin and flooding his senses with awareness. Her attempts at drawing his attention were successful, his eyes easily catching and locking onto her movements. The fae's heat scent whirled around them, her swishing tail stirring the air up and spreading the aroma around. His heart rate quickened. She wove a web that was hard to escape, and why should he? Without another word she moved down his side and teased the skin of his hip with a playful bite that sent a bolt of feeling racing through him. Valentine allowed himself to be reeled in. He reached out without hesitation to explore the offered haunch, using his teeth to play along her skin. There was one hitch, one he needed to clear up before he could commit. His gaze lifting to hers, he murmured, "Are you sure this is what you want?" |

Her response -and lick- made him snort in amusement. "Asking," he mused, "Is the gentlemanly thing to do. Or so I'm told." He had no qualms with that they were doing, none at all. Esti pressed into him and he relished the exchange of heat. It set off a chain reaction; causing tension to flood him and pressure to build. He wanted it too. Perhaps for different reasons, but it was desire all the same. With much effort her tore himself from her touch to circle around behind her. Valen leaned against her, reaching over her haunches to nibble down her spine, taking his sweet time. Slowly he lifted up on his hind legs and, wrapping a forepaw around the curve of her hip, pulled himself to her. His other forepaw stretched out to slide along the curve of her ribs, his nails raking teasingly along her belly, before falling into place at her other hip. He continued to lean against her, this time with his chest resting across the small of her back, and breathing in the heady scent of her, gave in. |
