Iroh always expected to have some kind of family of his own, to be a father when he’d never had one. With Elise that was possible, he could provide for his what hadn’t been provided for him, not that it seemed the Abraxas of old put much weight on a complete family structure. Iroh adored Elise, and there was little he wouldn’t do for her. Waiting was no great hurdle for him. He’d become content with waking up next to her, and having her all to himself. He knew that expanding their little circle would mean a lot less alone time. Surely they’d get their fill while making their little family though, mostly. Or not. The thought was hard to ignore when he had her here, pressed against him so tight. The feeling of her fur against his as her chest rose and fell with each sweet breath.

It was easy to pull her closer, Elise didn’t put up any hesitation in allowing him to hold onto her. There were few moments when he felt close enough, and right now he wished that there was a way to hold her closer and tighter. Elise didn’t let him focus on the feeling as he felt the prickle of her teeth against his neck. With intermittent nips and kisses she worked her way back to his lips. Iroh could believe that the topic was finished, especially as she pressed her lips to his own. He could forget everything beyond the realm of her kiss and the feeling of her body against his. He let himself get lost in her, it was as easy as breathing.

They had all night, but he still felt impatient as she pulled away slightly. He blinked open blue and lavender eyes as she spoke again. With one massive paw he gently stroked the soft fur at the back of her neck, and returned the grin that blessed her features. She was ready. Elise knew just as well as he did that this was where they were meant to be. She continued in a whisper, and only brightened his grin. They could do anything together, including this.

Iroh’s grin took on a mischievous hint, ”Does right now sound alright?” He teased her, but didn’t take her words for granted. He felt the same way. Iroh would conquer the world if she wanted him to. Still, his tone was teasing and a deep chuckle rose from his chest as he gazed down adoringly at her. ”Or maybe after dinner.”
