gone fishin'

As he called out to her, he kept his tone of voice smooth but throaty, given the deep baritones that accompanied his words. Her head lifted from the water, eyes shifting to align with his own. Pools of soft pink fell into those of amethyst and emerald, and Rhazien felt a spark of lust simmer inside of his abdomen. She was so small, pretty, and malleable. All he had to do now was set the stage… which seemed to be advancing, given the rosy color that spread across her cheeks. It caused his smirk to grow wider, muscles tensing beneath his thick coat, as he slightly swayed to the side to allow her to get a better look at him.

She straightened up, perhaps trying to gain some composure before she offered a greeting. A rumble resonated from inside of his chest, a wordless acknowledgment of her words. And then she called him pretty. He waited a few moments, watching her squirm beneath the intensity of his gaze before a bout of laughter bubbled from his throat. It wasn’t her statement that made him amused. He was simply enjoying the way she fluctuated, trying to stay modest but she was notably flustered. “Mmm, pretty? Never heard that one before.” He teased through another brutish grin. Without warning, Rhazien strode forward into the water, wading through the shallows until he was only a few yards from her. If she didn’t retreat, he would advance until he was nearly beside her, shifting his gaze down into the water.

“Now handsome I can accept,” He brought his nose towards the surface, slowing his breath to not disturb it further. Once he saw the flash of silver he was looking for, he brought his head back up, cocking it slightly so he could peer down at her. She was so small compared to him. “along with dapper, suave…otherworldly.” Heat rolled off his body in waves, surely reaching her flesh if she was still within his vicinity. Which he hoped would ignite something inside of her. “If you’re looking for fish, I can help you.” A simple offer, but it would come with a price. “That’s if, you promise me something in return.” Wanting to dig his talons into her, Rhazien would offer her a trade he figured she wouldn’t pass up. All she had to do was engage.
