we need to have words

”Careful.” Venom blinked back her lust as Azure’s voice reminded her of more than just her splinted leg. Venom had been ignoring the ache that was building, as well as her looming mistakes. Azure pulled away only slightly, giving her enough room to rearrange her leg into a more comfortable position. It was just enough to break the spell and Venom tried to take in a clear breath. She tried to clear her mind, to take a step back and look at what she was doing. Venom was allowing her baser instincts to take over, and it was oh so easy to give herself up to Azure’s strong arms.

She couldn’t forget Hattori, nor the moment that Azure had rejected her offer. Likely he had no idea this moment had been at stake. She was again reminded of the months between them in age, and knew even with how much she wanted him, they couldn’t go any further than where they’d gotten. Not without his final answer being uttered. She was an Empress, she couldn’t be as easy as letting him crawl into her bed to have her. Even if she wanted him just as badly.

”Yes, yours.” A shiver raced down her spine, but there was doubt in her eyes, he’d put it there when he’d rejected her the first time. She leaned into him again, wishing that life wasn’t so complicated as it felt in these moments. ”Your father is much too possessive for that.” Venom returned with a light chuckle, however her voice grew more serious. ”I.. Didn’t think you wanted to stay with me.” She whispered softly, hinting at their conversation two seasons ago. ”Is there someone else?” Venom’s voice was pained. When he’d become so defensive about Hana, her scent lingering on his pelt, his determined rejection. The span of time he’d let go on before he’d come back to her.
