"Are you sure you have to work so early this morning, Ojisan?" Larken asked quietly as she took a seat at the vanity. Gathering her long dark hair, she brought it over one shoulder and began to brush it out, looking at him through the reflection of the mirror. "It really is too early..."
"I'm sorry my love, but I really do need to do a lot of work. Master Kamage has graciously offered to help me, but he only has this morning
free." He kissed her shoulder apologetically. "I wish I didn't have to
leave you _again_. Get out and enjoy the day without me, love."
A small smile curved her lips. "I will."

Larken hesitated when she finally arrived at M'tone's weyr door, trying to ignore the nagging guilt of being here. Worrying her lower lip, she glanced to the left, and then to the right. It was awful early to be out and about. Shards, it was so quiet... And the halls were so empty--except for her. If one of the drudges came suddenly and _saw_ her here...
Steeling herself, Larken knocked, hoping to Faranth he wasn't asleep.
The brownrider had been sleeping. Bleary-eyed, he opened the door. His lips curled into a sleepy smile as he looked down into Larken's face.
Well, good morning."
"Shards--I woke you up, didn't I?" she asked, her expression contrite as she took in his hardly focused expression and mussy bed hair.
"Uh huh," he grinned as he reached out to wrap his arms around her waist and pulled her inside. "But I think I like waking up to find you here."
Smiling, she nuzzled his shoulder, a thrill running through her as she touched bare skin. "Ojisan has to work early today and...and I wanted to see you."
M'tone slid his fingers into her soft dark hair. "I'm glad you've come.
I couldn't stop thinking about you last night."
Blushing, she pressed her cheek against him. "Me neither," she whispered. "I think we should go stargazing again sometime."
"Hmm, that sounds nice," he hummed, gently rocking her. "But there are no stars out right now. Course, Encourth could take us somewhere that still had stars..."
"With you still all sleepy and bleary-eyed?" she chuckled, leaning back to shyly look at him. "I don't think so. You're even still slurring your words a little, M'tone." Shards, he was cute when he was sleepy... The way his blonde hair stuck out at odd angles made her want to reach up and smooth it back. But even now, she still had a little bit of hesitancy.
He looked down into her eyes and could see her tentativeness. Leaning in he kissed her softly, his fingers still running through her hair. This kiss was almost innocent compaired to the passionate meeting of lips they had shared the night before. M'tone wanted to drive every unsure thought out of her mind as he took the kiss slowly deeper.
Her breath caught softly, hands fluttering a little until they came to rest on his waist of their own accord. The feeling of the material of his pants under her pinkies contrasted rather sharply with the smooth skin that rested just beneath her thumbs, and her eyes closed. Though Ojisan was so many more Turns older than M'tone, it was the brownrider who seemed to have more experience...and certainly more finesse.
M'tone's lips left hers and traveled along her jaw to her ear and then down to where her shoulder met her neck. Shards, he just wanted to rip the clothes off of her right then and there. She had been so tantalizingly close for so long, and yet always seemed out of reach. Now he had her in his arms, he didn't want to hold back anymore.
Quietly she murmured his name, fingers tightening slightly on his hips as she felt his teeth gently graze her skin. Shells...this is was some good morning kiss!
The sofa was closer than the bed, M'tone reasoned. He claimed her mouth once more, not holding back on the passion he felt for her, as he slowly walked them back towards the soft cushions.
By the time they were sitting, Larken's heart was pounding, and the only sensations she was aware of were the cushions against her back, his callused fingers stoking the tender flesh of the base of her neck, and his hard lips on hers. She couldn't remember ever kissing Ojisan like this.
And she was certain M'tone hadn't been so passionate last night! When their lips finally parted just enough, she pulled back to catch her breath, gazing up at him with wide eyes.
The brownrider realized that perhaps he might be going a _bit_ too fast. "Shards, but you are so beautiful, Larken," he murmured before taking her face in his hands to kiss her gently. The last thing he wanted to do was to scare her away.
"I don't think I've ever gotten a good morning kiss like that before," she whispered breathlessly when their lips parted. Gently she stroked his cheek, brushing the tip of her nose shyly against his.
He smiled as he wrapped his arms around her once more. "Come to me any morning you like." Shards, was her husband _blind_? Or just too old to notice what a beautiful creature he had to greet every morning?
She nestled against him. "You don't seem so sleepy anymore," she grinned, pulling her knees up onto the couch.
"I have a very good reason to be awake," he chuckled, his nose buried in her hair. Hmmm, he could get used to this.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"Mmmm... I had sweet dreams," he purred, running his fingers through her hair. "And you?"
Her hesitation was brief as she rubbed her cheek against him, blushing, a slight shiver running up her spine at the contact. "Pretty well..." When Ojisan had finally gotten tired. "The humdity here is still hard to cope with sometimes during the night."
"Really? I don't even notice." He'd lived in this kind of climate all his life, after all. "Perhaps you just need the right sort of blanket to wrap up in."
She glanced up at him, a small grin playing at her lips. "Care to suggest one for me?"
"Well, mine are pretty comfortable. But I have to warn you, I sleep naked." That smile... Shards it was just too much! M'tone leaned in and kissed the corner of her lips softly, teasingly. Then her chin. Her jaw. Light little nips along her throat.
Blushing--again--Larken tilted her head back to rest against the sofa, her hands sliding lightly down to rest against his arms. Faranth...that felt wonderful. "It would be highly..." Goosebumps rose on her arms as he neared her collarbones. "...improper," she whispered.
M'tone smiled slightly against her skin. Still thinking of what's 'proper' as she sat in another man's arms, letting him plant sweet kisses on her skin? Sitting up slightly he lightly nipped at her bottom lip.
"Do you really want to think about that now?"
Her eyes fluttered open a little, the look in them almost hazy. "No...."
"Good," he murmured before kissing her. Soon he would have to pull away for drills, but her sweet kisses would be a wonderful memory to carry him through the day...
