Beyond Time (closed)

"Well, sometimes our perspective changes. Things that never use to interest us or that we would notice are all that we can see and think about." Dylan said as she watched her husband's sure hand continue to work. "I think it's lovely."

 

[KieranSoares]

"Sort of like how when you came along, you were the only thing I could think about for the longest time. Well, you, and paintings of you." Ashien laid down a rough outline before tidying the edges and beginning to add more detail to the stonework and doors.

 

[heartofcourage]

"Well, I think that's the best compliment I've ever been given." Dylan said with a laugh as she kissed Ashien gently and pressed her cheek against his shoulder.

 

[KieranSoares]

"You always seem t'take my honesty as a compliment. An' then when I actually compliment you, you get all modest." Ashien spent a while detailing the stonework before laying aside his brush and wrapping Dylandra up in his arms.

 

[heartofcourage]

"I love you." She murmured against his ear as he wrapped her up in his strong arms and held her tightly. "More than I think you'll ever know."

 

[KieranSoares]

"I'd certainly like t'try t'understand th' scope of it," he muttered in return with a kiss. "I think I've got plenty o' time."

 

[heartofcourage]

"I don't think a single lifetime would be enough." Dylan said with a chuckle as Ashien kissed her sweetly, showing her the affection that she had missed so much.

 

[KieranSoares]

"I'll be glad t'spare a few t'the endeavor," Ashien offered with a shrug and a smile. For a moment, the recent events were forgotten as he kissed the love of his life and thought of their future.

Dylan took him to bed shortly after, loving him in a way that he hadn't been strong enough for until very recently. As the shadows in the room grew darker, she finally lay beside him, naked and sated, her head resting against his shoulder as her fingers played absently against his chest.

"Should I be worried that your mother and grandmother won't let me help with this wedding?" Dylan asked, her eyes finding his own in the firelight.

 

[KieranSoares]

"That's fairly normal," Ashien assured her, his eyes wandering her form with the appreciation of both a lover and an artist. "Ma's the wedding planner, always. Carmena never got the chance to be, but this is perhaps the only chance she'll get. Oh, and Ma doesn't want to give you the chance to insist she's doing too much, or that she doesn't have to do this or that just for your sake... She heard it from Julia, Marri, Ashelin, and plenty of friends. So whether we like it or not, she's going to do it on her own. Poor Emma won't know what to do with herself once Ma finally talks her into a second wedding."

 

[heartofcourage]

"So then I should just grin and say thank you." Dylan murmured with a smile as Ashien looked over her body with that studious glance. "There are much worse things we could be going through so I suppose I have very little to complain about. I have a family who loves me, a husband who adores me, and a nice, bright future to look forward to."

 

[KieranSoares]

"How could they not love you, at the very least because you stand out?" Ashien chuckled. "I don't know if you've noticed, but you're our only blonde, and probably the palest of us all. You definitely stick out in a family of tan-skinned, dark-haired, dark-eyed Scottish clansmen and women."

 

[heartofcourage]

"Well, Julia certainly is lovely with those green eyes and that brown hair." Dylan said with a chuckle. "Is that why you chose me? To show off to the rest of your family?"

 

[KieranSoares]

"That was an afterthought, though I do have to say... blonde and red hair have always caught my eye. There's nothing like fiery or golden hair to draw the eye in paint and in life." Ashien cradled her a little closer and trailed gentle kisses to her throat. "I have to admit... I'm one lucky fool to have gotten love and beauty in the same package."

 

[heartofcourage]

"I have to admit that I had some very impure thoughts and dreams after I first met you. Dreams that would make you blush." Dylan said, her cheeks turning red as she told him that.

 

[KieranSoares]

"Make me blush? Hardly. As not only a painter, but a hobbyist poet, I've worked on some fairly risque pieces." Ashien smirked at her while a hand found its way to her thigh.

 

[heartofcourage]

"You've never shared your poetry with me before." Dylan said as his large hand skimmed down her thigh, her heart racing just a little bit faster. "What else have you been hiding from me, Ashien Ghis?"

 

[KieranSoares]

"Plenty," he assured her. "I don't share my poetry because I like to send it to my other lady loves that I run off with instead of working back home." He chuckled at that, his lips coming to suckle at her breasts and tease her tender flesh.

 

[heartofcourage]

"Ashien!" Dylan laughed, slapping his shoulder hard as he suddenly suckled her breast, a long moan leaving her throat as she melted in his arms. "Oh, love. This isn't fair."

 

[KieranSoares]

"Did I ever say I was fair?" He asked before giving the other nipple plenty of attention. The hand that had been caressing her thigh began to work its way slowly inward, stroking over her seam teasingly.

 

[heartofcourage]

She was trapped in his arms as he teased her breasts and his slender fingers worked against her wet lips. Dylan cooed, her thighs spreading a little further as she silently encouraged him to continue with his seduction.

 

[KieranSoares]

"To think, only minutes ago you were satisfied and ready to drift off. And now you're burning again," Ashien murmured, his voice husky with his own need. His nimble fingers delved slowly between her thighs, grazing her little bud ever so lightly as to send tremors up her spine, but not to truly offer her any real pleasure yet.

 

[heartofcourage]

"It's not my fault." Dylan whimpered as Ashien continued to torture her. "You don't play fair or give me a chance."

 

[KieranSoares]

"All you need to do is show a bit of force, love," he smirked, taking hold of her thighs and pulling her tight against him so she could feel just how aroused he was.

 

[heartofcourage]

"Jesus, Ash." Dylan murmured as he pulled her against himself, letting her feel just how much he wanted her. "You'll kill me one of these days. I'm sure of it."
