Mature: Desert Moon

[Emora Deen]

Tenele swallowed, looking him up and down. A show? She hadn't even thought of that. But, the idea made her feel in control of the situation, and not as nervous as she thought she would be. Did it make her a sick person to want to watch him? "Would you think less of me if I said yes? Is it weird if I want to watch you?" She sat up slowly for a better look. They were on an island all alone with the possibility of never being found, what did it matter if it was weird.

[Soran Nightblade]

Vlad's eyes were deep, heated red. "Not in the least, Maiden Girl. If it's not already obvious, it would be my pleasure." He watched her through half-lidded eyes as his hand roamed across his abs and slowly over the fabric of his cropped pants. His need bulged inside the fabric, and he teased his fingers over it. He stretched his hand lower, his breath coming thick as he cupped his balls. "Hah," he rolled onto his side, facing her across the fire. His expression creased with need and he closed his eyes tightly. He didn't undress. He teased himself through the dark fabric, thick breaths murmuring her name.

[Emora Deen]

Tenele wasn't sure at first how she felt about his name on her lips while he was touching himself. But, the more he said it, the more she liked it. She was growing increasingly upset that he wasn't removing his pants. She wanted to see all of him.

Tenele swallowed at the idea. She felt so bad. Like she was doing something really naughty and she didn't want to be caught. She thought if he didn't take his pants off soon she was going to rip them off him.

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

She thumbed the ring dangling between her breasts. He was her husband. His body was hers before she lost her memories. It was still hers.

"Should I be doing something?" she asked him softly, wandering if there were certain protocols to this situation.

[Soran Nightblade]

Vlad paused and watched her possessively. "Nothing, Maiden Girl. You do as you like. There is nothing wrong with watching me." He wondered for a moment if she was feeling pressured, but it didn't seem that way. Maybe the opposite. "May I show myself to you?" he purred. His fingers slid just below the lip of his pants. The thought of her watching him was driving him crazy.

[Emora Deen]

Tenele smiled slightly. "Yes," she told him. "Show me." She liked that she didn't have to do anything. That she could watch him, and only watch him, and that was okay in this situation. She settled on an elbow, tracing the chain around her neck.

[Soran Nightblade]

The vampire unfastened his pants and freed himself. His long fingers encircled his need and squeezed, drawing a low growl from his chest. He slid up and down over himself, slowly rising in pace. His other hand reached down and collected his balls in a tight grip. Vlad arched over himself, breathing heavily. "Yeah. Ah!" he groaned. "Tenele!"

His ruby eyes looked up at her, seductive and overwhelmed with pleasure. "I can't hold out long...thinking about you like this," he moaned.

[Emora Deen]

Tenele's breath quickened. She lay on her side, her hand idly tracing her thigh, growing higher. "Go on," she murmured to him. The look of lust was heavy in her eyes. She needed to be touched again, but she couldn't. Not in front of him.

Would she have touched herself in front of him if she were her normal self? Probably. They'd been married for a long time.

[Soran Nightblade]

Vlad groaned, his hips thrusting against his hands. He spared a glance at her. She looked flushed, excited. "You look beautiful," he murmured. His smile twisted in a short cry as he began to lose himself. "Tenele... Mm. Ngh!" he ground his hand hard over his need and roared. Haaah, yes," he shuddered.

[Emora Deen]

Tenele smiled at his compliment. He thought she was beautiful. It made her feel beautiful. She held her breath as she watched him crest the edge. Her hands curled in the edge of her skirt. She clenched it tight, holding back on running her fingers between her legs.

In the wake after watching him, in the quiet when all she heard was the crackle of the fire and the sound of his breath, she felt a tinge of embarrassment. But, he didn't seem embarrassed. He didn't seem upset. He enjoyed her watching him. And she'd enjoyed watching him.

"That's why I went on my walk," she murmured. She didn't have the self-confidence to show him. But, she thought she could tell him and let him imagine it. "I had to finish what your thoughts started. I couldn't get those images you gave me out of my head. Thank you for respecting me enough to not push me after you had me all worked up. It means a lot to me. Thank you for letting me see you like this, too."

[Soran Nightblade]

Vlad straightened up on one elbow to look at her. She'd wanted him badly enough to touch herself. "It is easy to show myself to you. I'm not shy, and you don't judge easily. I can't think of anyone else who could tolerate me," he grinned at her.

[Emora Deen]

Tenele settled down against the bed of leaves with a soft smile. He felt comfortable with her. He trusted her. She trusted him. "Maybe one day I won't be so nervous," she smiled.

Her smile slowly faltered. What did it matter if she wasn't nervous later. He couldn't survive forever on her blood alone. It would eventually leave her too weak. If he stopped taking it, he would starve. He would try and kill her, or she had to kill him. If they didn't get rescued off the island...

Tenele's eyes glistened with tears. "I'm not going to kill you," she whispered to him. "I'm not going to leave you out there to die. Don't even try to argue it. We'll find another way."

[Soran Nightblade]

Vlad smiled at her. "I'll admit I'm not eager to die, but I'd sooner rot than risk preying on you. It's happened once before, and I've had plenty of time to think about what I'd do if the risk ever came up again."

"Actually, I've got a less traumatizing idea," he mused. "You can summon Knight when the time comes, and he'll stay with you until the end."

[Emora Deen]

Tenele arched eyebrow. "I'm sorry, summon who?" Who the hell was this Knight guy and why werent they summoning him now to get them off the island?

[Soran Nightblade]

Vlad looked at her and smirked. "I mentioned I killed a god for you, right? I didn't do it alone. Atul and I merged our souls. They're probably still merged, even now."

[Emora Deen]

"Yes, you said that... But you never told me anything about a guy named Knight." Her brow furrowed. She couldn't tell if he was speaking in riddles on purpose... She thought about it for a moment. "Are you saying that your souls merged and created someone entirely different from you both seperarely? And his name is Knight?" Tenele thought harder about all the little clues he'd given her concerning this person. She glanced to the fire. "Vampires can't have children. But, Tenara is still yours. You said merging your souls allowed us to have a family... That means that... Knight is Tenara's father. Which means that... The King of Hajara is also Tenara's father. Does he know that?" Tenele thought her head was going to spin off. "By the Gods I seem to be a permiscuous woman..."
