Xam looked deep in her eyes and he sighed heavily and smiled at her. “I’ve never wanted to live forever, you know. And I’ve never been scared of dying. I’m still not… but I think I would regret it now.” He moved her so she was all the way on him and he kissed her; slowly… gently… with less urgency but more desire than before. And as his hands began to move across her again, it was less physical… and much deeper than their previous encounters. Not love… but not just lust, either.Ra’Ti, Tactical
Some people believed that as long as someone remembered you, you never really died. Rende would live a long time, and so, if that was true, Xam would live as long as she did. She kissed him back with equal amounts of care and growing affection, her hands memorizing the closeness between them. This was a bad idea, but it was far too late to turn back and Rende didn’t want to.

The shift was subtle and easy… a dangerous proposition for them both. But even after… and after they were dressed and moving out of the cavern with the pool… Xam didn’t regret a moment. He was fully aware their fun tryst and romp in the woods had had an effect on them, but he grinned his mischievous grin at her and said “I wonder what kind if trouble we can get into when the place has actual furniture.” and he laughed.
Ra’Ti, Tactical
That grin only seemed to confirm the effect the last days had had on them. As they came out of the narrow passage, she slipped an arm around his waist and brushed a gentle touch of lips over his neck, “Oh a lot. We could really test out our mutual flexibility then. Until then… are you hungry?… for food.”
Cpt. Asam, CO
Xam laughed and said “Well I’m glad you specified; otherwise we’d never get outta here.” He looked at her a moment and then kissed her. He pulled back and said “Yeah… we should go.” and he laughed and led her outbof the caves and back up the ledge. He looked around, at the view in front of them, and said “Picnic here?”
Ra’Ti, Tactical
Rende gave him a look, they may never get out of there anyway. She followed him out and back up to the top of the cliff. She looked around, “Yeah.” She swung her pack off her shoulders and reached in for one of the blankets, shook it out in a quick flick and it fluttered to the ground. She grabbed his hand and tugged him down to sit beside her. She leaned in and brushed her lips slowly across his.

Xam’s eyes locked onto hers as her lips sent shocks of electricity through him. “You keep doing that-” he whispered, “- I may start thinking you’re liking this more than just a stress relief…” His hand moved up her back and onto her neck; his fingers weaving into her hair and he pulled her face against his as he kissed her deeply, and a soft moan escaped him.
Ra’Ti, Tactical
She really should heed that warning. They were both already in too deep. His moan was answered with one of her own. Her hands smoothed over his shoulders, urging him closer. There was no urgency, just a deep desire to prolong the connection of the moment.
She kissed him between words, “If anyone … asks… I have … decades … of … pent … up … stess … to re… release.”
Cpt. Asam, CO
“Then… allow… me… to… help with… that…” Xam replied and then pulled her against him and rolled over so she was laying on her back. He looked down at her and grinned. “Relaxing beautiful women who find me irresistible just happens to be a specialty of mine.”

Rende’s eyes didn’t leave his. “Lucky for me you didn’t realize our waitress found you just as irresistible as I did.” She was teasing, but she was also serious. She held his gaze for long moments, soaking in the closeness, the warmth, and the comfort of being with him.
Cpt. Asam, CO
He brushed her hair back with his fingers, staring into her eyes, and said “Oh but I did… but I was far more interested in you than I was with a quickie by the valet station with a waitress.” and he brushed his lips softly against hers and whispered “And I still am…”
Rat’Ti, Tactical
Tbat gentle brush if his fingers had a noticeable affect on her that he could clearly see in her eyes. He could feel her smile against his lips. It wasn’t teasing though, it was feminine and soft. “Now who sounds like they like this more than just stress relief?” Her breath fluttered against him, “Glad it’s not just me.”
Cpt. Asam, CO
“He smiled against her lips and said “I knew you couldn’t resist…” and his lips moved to her neck.
Later that evening…
The sun was getting low as the stew in the iron pot over the fire outside their tent slowly cooked. Xam was sitting a pair of loose fitting pants in a camp chair, a glass of a brilliant blue liquid in his hand. He smiled at Rende and said “How about we just stay here and don’t go back, hmm? I mean… look at this! This beats the mess any day of the week! Except when there’s tacos. The Sentinel’s taco night is unmatched.” and hebgrinned even as he did a chef’s kiss with his fingers.
Ra’Ti, Tactical
Rende was wearing a pair of light flowing palazzo pants, that gave a peak of her legs any time she moved. She wore a short off the shoulder top. She had a glass with a shimmering metalic colored liquid in it, resting on the arm of her camp chair. “Oh don’t tempt me, Xam. I could stay here and never regret it. I wouldn’t even miss taco night.” There was no teasing to her voice, she was serious.
Cpt. Asam, CO
Xam smiled and said “Well, this place and I are a package deal, so unless you are saying that you could tolerate me enough to have this place, I’m afraid you are outta luck.” His smile became more flirtatious- but with a sense of seriousness- and he said “Unless, of course, you are saying that you could tolerate this place just to stay around me; which of course would make much more sense… to me, anyway.” and he laughed.
