"Of course I am lucky because you love me, shei'tani," he sang to her, his voice a rumbling baritone. He bent his head, placing soft kisses on her lips before whispering, "Ke vo san. I love you." Zeru smiled, watching her bounce around him with all the energy in the world. She was glorious. Pure and simple. And she was his. A shiver ran down his spine, brought on by the surety and satisfaction of that thought.
His ear twitched in her direction and he smiled. "A tairen," he began, twitching his tail happily, "is a very large magic feline from the Fading Lands. Gramma speaks of them all the time. They love play, and most of their play is devious." He eyed her, his smile widening. Aiyah, my family will love her. She will fit in with my family perfectly. Fluttering his wings softly, he purred, his smile morphing into a smirk.
His earlier kiss had shaken her a bit. Which meant he'd been more than naughty then, he'd been down right wrong for it. He caught and stopped the laugh that tried to bubble up at that realization, turning his head to nips playfully at the pad of her paw as she stroked his cheek. His eyes blazed momentarily, full of dark promises she probably couldn't even imagine at this point in time. Soon, but only when she's ready. With effort, he swallowed the deep, throatily seductive purr that tried to worm it's way out. And I promise, it will be a time you will forget, shei'tani. One that would wake you screaming my name. His smirk widened. He liked that very, very much.
Her soft voice pulled him back from his agonizing fantasies--very dangerous fantasies since she was right here in his arms and he couldn't act on them, yet. "You could never embarrass me, ajiana. You bring pride to this Fey," he purred, his pride and adoration of her flowing like oceans across their bond. Huffing, he let her gently push his muzzle away, giving her an 'I didn't want to stop' look. Briefly, he considered what other parts of her were ticklish. Pushing back those dangerous thoughts, he refocused on her.
"Perhaps that was what I was trying to do?" He teased, curling his tail around her possessively. Her question made him smile. "Nei," he admitted, grinning at her, "I do not think they would appreciate that, but I'm sure I could tell Mela we got... caught up?" He skipped over the fact that they already knew they were coming, thanks to his brother "checking in" on him every now and again. His lips twitched as she poked his nose, not fully forming into a smile.
In the distance, he saw the streak of white electricity across the horizon, splitting it in two, before he heard the booming roll of the thunder. "Aiyah," he agreed, clearly eager to get his delicate mate out of the harsh on-coming weather, "let us go, then. We shall stay with my family tonight, then go from there." He bent his head to kiss her softly before gathering her up in his arms to leap into the air. His wings snapped open, silvery tinged Air powered winds blasted them forward, speeding away from the pursuing storm. Swiftly, he wove a loose fire weave and blanketed her with it, keeping the chill of the air at bay.
This is it. My shei'tani will be meeting my family. My entire family. This should be interesting...
