Welcome to Gaia! ::

The light was in his eyes as well as amusement was obvious. “Oh? You will not make this easy for me?” He looked a bit amused, a hand wrapping around Gambler’s waist before Rave tugged her close, looking down at her. “I wish for you to come see me or for me to be able to see you. If you will not make it easy for me then know that I am always up for a challenge.” He smirked, his hair framing his face amazingly. Tilting her chin up to look at him, Rave slowly tilted his head to the side. “As for what I will do about it? Do you doubt me, Gambler? I am good at getting what I wish, Gambler, especially when I know you desire the same thing.”

“If it is a hunt you desire, Gambler…” He leaned down, nipping at her neck as one hand slowly let go of her arm, sliding down to her back and stroking down her spine with a ghost’s touch. “Then know that I am always ready for a hunt… I do expect a reward when I find what I hunt for, however… or are you not up for that?” A smirk appeared on his lips as he watched her. No, the two couldn’t go back to how they were before, but that didn’t stop the fact that he wanted to be with her, wanted to grab her and do all of the things that had happened before. He couldn’t, though. It was all too raw, much too raw. What he could do, though, would be to just be with her like this, and in other ways… they’d build up slowly or just jump. Right now, it seemed like the second idea.

The innuendo was far from hidden as Rave growled softly, almost forcing Gambler against him as he leaned down. He wasn’t one that enjoyed being teased unless he knew something good would come out from it. If the two were together as they had been before then it would be one thing, but a year without a touch? Possibly more? Rave was just surprised that he had the control that he did. “I am up for anything, my teasing beauty, but it is you that I worry for. I am unsure on if you can handle and take anything that I decide to be… up for.” His hand rested against her lower back, keeping them pressed just perfectly against one another, his other hand at her chin. A perfect fit.

And that’s what did it. Taking her chin into his hold, Rave looked nearly amused. “I can prove you wrong, you know…” his words were a low, deep purr before he kissed the woman. Unlike before, this wasn’t the quick, chaste kiss of someone who was afraid that they wouldn’t see someone again. Instead, this was demanding, controlling almost but still just the slightest bit hesitant. Rave enjoyed being close to Gambler. He didn’t care about the sexual aspects, though those were quite nice, but he did care about contact. He had been away from such contact for so long that to have it again, only to have it taken away from him, and now back in his arms… it was hard not to keep a hold on the woman. But, he wasn’t going to just take her… that was rude. And improper. He would keep her there for just a bit longer than planned, however.

The challenge was accepted with a low growl, a sound that didn't often come from the calm male. Pulling her closer, he growled just a bit louder when she turned her head away. Rave knew that he had already kept her here too long, but there wasn't a fiber in his being that honestly cared on if he kept her there for a long time or not. He could only smirk a bit, keeping her close as his hand ran up her neck and rested against her cheek, gently pulling her up to look at him fully. "I highly doubt they do not suspect something, Gambler... as for that... Do you honestly care?" he raised a brow, an amused light in his eyes. Rave didn't... he had Gambler back in his arms and for now she was staying there.

Rave leaned down, gently nipping at the tapping finger. His eyes were like dark ice, watching the woman like the predator that he was. But overall, he was a gentleman before anything else. “I believe that I will gain whatever it is that I wish… but I refuse to take anything without consent. Now… if I can get said consent…” A smirk appeared on the other’s lips as he pulled her close, nipping at her lips. He missed being like this, able to hold the woman close. All anger was gone, at least for now. If she decided that she wasn’t going to allow this, wasn’t going to let them be together after the confrontation… then the anger would return and all hell would break loose. But, Rave had no real reason to not trust Gambler when she said that they’d be able to see one another… well, he did, but he’d give her the benefit of the doubt.

“Not…?” Rave raised a brow before his eyes widened and he covered his mouth, softly chuckling before shaking his head. “No, love, definitely not here… That was not what I assumed would happen.” He looked amused, watching the woman with sparkling eyes. With someone like him, who refused to let others truly know what it was that he did in his private time, the idea of taking the woman here where there were so many around… it was ludicrous. Maybe it did seem like that was what he wanted before but it just wasn’t that way. Instead, he slowly leaned down and gently kissed the woman. “that was all that I desired for this moment, Gambler.” He smiled softly, gently stroking her hair.

“When you are able, then we will see one another. I am able to get to… your new home without much trouble.” He was the ambassador so why would it be a problem? “I will have to go over to the fae’s land soon enough and speak with your king about an alliance later on… Shall we speak when that is done?” He raised a brow, watching her.

“You are working with their military?” Rave raised a brow, leaning a bit into the touch. He enjoyed the touches of Gambler, always had enjoyed them really. Soon he kissed her forehead, playing with her own perfect hair. Personally, Rave didn’t like his hair. It was getting too long for his taste and he frankly wanted to just cut it. Gambler’s hair was nice and curled just perfectly. It was a nice, nearly uncontrolled mess that he frankly loved. “When you are able to, then we will meet up together again. Business does come first, I fear, but…” He shrugged, keeping her close. “Now… Do you need to leave now or do we have a moment?”
