PREMISE

All the stories are true. Years ago, the Fae came out because technology was making it harder and harder for them to hide, and it's been a couple of years since the werewolves did the same. The world is changing day by day. Humans and the paranormal live side by side, but it's not easy nor is it simple. While the Marrok has taken great lengths and care to preserve the werewolves' PR front, everyone - wolf, fae, vampire and other - know that it's only a matter of time before the humans start thinking that perhaps the other stories meant to warn of the dark are true.

This is an open post set in the universe of Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series. The books are amazing and you should definitely check them out. More information via this Wiki link. The rules are simple: Drop a prompt, leave a tag, and let's play!

THREAD TRACKING

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Eun pushes back further as Asil props himself up, and his light tone is what keeps Eun from spiraling deeper into her surprise. He makes a joke, and Eun cracks a smile despite herself. She smacks his shoulder playfully.]

You can't say you're as old as dirt unless you were BFFs with Jesus, I guess. But oh my god, I thought you were like, four-hundred or so. Give or take fifty years...

[She stares at him, marveling a little over werewolf genes making him look as young as he does. Not a hint of his true age.]

So much of what you've told me before has...has very different context now.

[There's no need to rehash it, but it's clear that she's thinking about it now. The way he calls the pack Children, his initial concerns that he was too old for her, and more beyond that. His timeline...the issues with his control over his wolf, there is much to consider. To speculate on. None of which she doubts he hasn't already thought of himself. She shakes her head a little, smile present. Her body language shows nothing in rejection, and neither does her tone as it rises to match his lightness.]

You know, if you were still in your eleven-hundreds I think it would have been fine, but approaching your thirteen-hundreds? [She gives a show of feigned disappointment.] I think I'd better go find myself a nice octogenarian to settle down with instead.

[She rolls off of him, swinging her legs over the bed, seeming to have every intention of leaving while perhaps more obviously having every intention of seeing if he might capture her before her feet hit the ground.]

[ Ah, this dance, he is familiar with. He does not grab for her - but he does let his fingers catch lightly at her elbow, a slow smile toying at his lips. ]

You had no objections to my age when I made love to you the other day.

[Eun gently pulls her elbow out of his grasp. The way she backs up from him says that she is trying to put distance between them. The look in her eyes, lighter for the rise of the wolf in them, tells him to chase her. And if the look in her eyes is not clear, the smile on her face certainly is.]

The other day I thought you were a sprightly four-hundred. I had no idea of the truth. If I'd known I would never have taken the risk. What if you broke a hip?

Broke a hip. [ He says it slowly, incredulously - but not without amusement. ] Mi amor, I am offended.

[ He sounds far from it, however. The wolf in her eyes calls to his, and he does not need a mirror to see that his own have lightened as well.

He is watching her now, his weight propped up on both elbows, that it would be so easy to come to his feet and give chase.

Low and liquid, he murmurs: ] If you plan to run, mi cielo, I recommend you get a five minute head-start.

[Eun's interest spikes with his own show, with the gold in his eyes, and she walks closer to the doorway, watching him speculatively. They need to eat. They haven't yet. They should get sleep as well...but it is tempting to play.

Especially when he looks at her like that. When his voice twists things low and deep inside her.]

In Golden Gate Park, I'll take that five-minute head start and see what happens. Here and now, I'll just have to take my chances.

[And off she goes, dashing out of the bedroom with her heart beating fast and hard in her chest.]

[ He vaults off the bed, hot on her tail as he rushes past the doorway to follow her out into the hall. The only place to go (beyond the spare upstairs bedroom) is the stairs - which she is most definitely heading for.

It is tempting to hop down from the second floor, which is the strategic option. But this is play and he is not out to frighten her.

He'll take those stairs two steps at a time and then sweep her up into his arms just before she makes it to the bottom. ]

[Eun also took the stairs two at a time, thinking that a pair of gloves might have made her descent faster if she'd slid down with the help of the hand-railing in the stairwell.

She hears Asil behind her and pushes forth with a burst of energy. Just because she wants him to chase her doesn't mean she's not going to half-ass her attempt to get away.

Of course, all of this is moot. Asil catches up to her in almost no time, and she lets out a sound of surprise and laughter as she feels him grab her and sweep her up off the ground. There is nothing but joy and want on her face as she leans in to kiss him, full of heat and desire.]

[ He uses the wall for support, caught up in the taste of her lips and tongue on his. The sound of her laughter is music to his ears. The press of her body stoking need and desire. ]

I have half a mind to take you here, if only for the novelty of it.

[ He murmurs that as he moves to kiss along her jaw, hands splayed on her back as he holds her close. ] It is not as if we will we doing anything else but dinner and sleep.

[Her chin lifts in welcome of his mouth along her jaw, already making low pleased sounds at the back of her throat.]

It must be that old age getting the best of you if half of your mind is lagging behind the other half.

[Even now, she cannot help but tease him. Goad him on. She is quite, quite happy being pressed between the wall and his body. Her legs squeeze around his waist.]

I was thinking about you taking me against this wall before I ever left the bedroom.

Were you now? [ He rolls his hips, his need straining against his pants. Tracking a path down the side of her throat, he shifts his hold on her so that he fills his palms with her curves. ]

I am happy to indulge if that is what you wish.

[She shifts in his arms as his hands slide over her body, grasping her where it pleases her most and helps keep her aloft all at once. With her head resting back against the wall, her hands move, one arm helping to brace herself so that he does not have to keep her up without assistance, and the other stroking down the back of his neck.]

I wish. I want. I insist.

I am more than happy to comply.

[ He kisses her again, easing her down so he can hook his fingers on her pajama shorts and tug them down over her hips. Touching her is always a pleasure, moreso when he can watch the way she responds, all the better to tease in the way she likes to be teased. ]

[Eun's bare feet settle on the floor once more, arms sliding down from his shoulders now that she doesn't have to stay upright. A little shiver runs up her spine as his fingers slip against her skin to hook into her pajama bottoms.

They've occupied themselves admirably since the first night they were together, and it still makes her tingle and her heart race when he first touches her. Her pajama bottoms hit the floor as her hands draw down his chest. She pulls at his pajama pants as well, dragging them down to pool at his feet before her hands find bare skin and slide up, under the hem of his shirt.]

And what can I do for you, mi amor? Is there anything you would like to insist on?

[ He smiles, leaning in once more to cover Eun's body with his as his hands drift over her curves. ] I insist on your full and undivided attention.

[ He makes sure that they enjoy themselves quite thoroughly, enough to work up an appetite worthy of the food she brought up into his room. Afterwards, he carries her back inside and into the shower, where they can both clean up, have dinner, and then turn in for the night. ]
