I am not opposed, but I am very cautious and careful. One needs to be here, she motioned around the room indicating her father’s house, and then her neck. Even those you trust can betray you. She sounded disappointed, but there was an undercurrent of resolve. Whatever people did to her, wasn’t going to stop her. She glanced at her cards and set two face down. I’ll take two.Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Noril took them and handed her two cards. Sisnil traded two cards, concealing a small grin. Understandable, Sisnil communicated to her. You will learn to trust us in time. We are not the scheming imbeciles your father employs.
~ N, Captain
That is a matter of cultural perspective. You have not arrived at our best. She shrugged, it was a matter for her father to deal with. At one time Vash would have fought to correct it for him, done it without his permission, but he had no plan to treat her the way she wanted. She would always be less, even though her father loved her deeply. And if you are not scheming you would not have survived long in the Syndicate. She looked at her two cards and then at Noril. Would he take any or would play the hand he had?
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Noril waved his hand, indicating he was keeping what he had. Let’s just say our abilities afford us certain allowances. He said to her.
~ N, Captain
She grinned and they could feel her laughter. In other words, you are very good at using your skills in your scheming. She tipped her head to the side studying Noril and then Sisnil in turn. Perhaps that is not the right word, but I do mean it as a compliment.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Both the brothers smiled slyly. I meant our technical abilities as much as our telepathic ones. Noril amended his statement. Show your hand.
~ N, Captain
Good, they had more than just their telepathy. She liked the pride in them. She laid her cards down. A single pair of fours.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Noril set down a hand of a single pair of twos and Sisnil set down a hand of.... absolute junk. Both wore a sly, playful grin.
~ N, Captain
Vash eyed them quite shrewdly. They were stacking the cards. She was certainly flattered. The question was what were they playing to win? Her wager or their own? What are we playing to? She scooped the cards and handed the deck to Sisnil.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
What was the plan? To keep her guessing. It was most amusing to them. Till you decide to quit, I suppose Sisnil said. There was no small amount of amusement behind the words.
~ N, Captain
Vash shifted to fully face Sisnil. She met his gaze directly. A sense of pride and stubbornness filled her, and playful challenge. I never quit.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
There was a joyful, playful look on his face and in his eyes. He looked charming like that. Then we will be here for a while, no? Or do you just want to kiss my brother again than badly?
~ N, Captain
Eyes flaring slightly, Vash grinned. Not just your brother. I get to kiss you too. What he said was true, she wouldn’t deny it. In that case, though, I could stop now. I’ve won twice in a row. She tapped the deck in front of him, But rewards are so much better when you have to work for it.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Me? I can feel your attraction Vash. You like what we look like, but it’s my brother you have real feelings for. Don’t worry, I’m not offended. I get plenty enough casual action, Sisnil teased, much to the embarrassment of his brother. Want us to make you work for it? He grinned, We can do that.
~ N, Captain
Vash looked over at Noril. Real feelings? Weren’t all feelings real? She knew what Sisnil meant though. No need to be offended. I like you both, She had a wicked streak and was flirtatious. She leaned back sensually so she could see them both, There is enough of me for both of you.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Sisnil grinned and smiled. “Oh there is, is there? I don’t know, Vash. I don’t like to share.”
~ N, Captain
Vash looked between them and shook her head, I doubt there is very little you two do not share. But that is something for you two to work out. What is it the humans say? Sharing is caring.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Well, if you like to sample me that badly, Sisnil said, turning it around as if he were the one being ‘tried’, Then go ahead.
~ N, Captain
If Sisnil thought he would call her bluff, he was mistaken. Vash stood and walked over to him and sat down next to him. She set her hand in his, a connection flaring. There was no push or influence, but an offer and a watchfulness. She was curious, but she didn’t want to hurt Noril either. Sisnil was right, she did like him in a romantic way. She did like Sisnil as well, but there wasn’t that same spark of chemistry. There might be eventually but there wasn’t yet.
She watched his eyes for a moment waiting for consent and then she kissed him. It wasn’t like Noril, where there was a slow buildup and infinite gentleness. With Sisnil, she was bolder, but still the epitome of feminine. She requested what she wanted in the way she kissed him, offering him what he wanted in turn but not demanding.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Sisnil let their connection grow. He was not his brother. He was more… Up front. Bolder. And he used all of his experience to make it the best kiss he could, reading her thoughts and feelings and adjusting accordingly. He set a hand on her shoulder.
~ N, Captain
Vash was delighted she was right. They were very different and both very alluring. Her hand slowly slipped around to his back. She read Sisnil as well as he read her, just in a slightly different way. It was clear she was experienced and sure of herself. She put that to great effect in making sure it was an experience he would not forget.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
It wasn’t. Sisnil let it continue for a while longer before breaking it off. “No question you know what you’re doing,” he said softly.
~ N, Captain
Vash smiled at him. So do you. She looked past Sisnil to Noril. A girl will get spoiled having both of you to kiss every day, and she winked at Noril.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Noril flushed and smiled. You think Sisnil’s a better kisser than me, he said, there was a note of disappointment in it. It’s true, I mean… He’s more.... Uhhhhm. Experienced.
~ N, Captain
Vash’s eyes didn’t leave him. She stood, slipping out of Sisnil’s embrace and settled beside him. She took his hand looking into his eyes. Absolutely not. She leaned in and kissed him again. Slow, soft, gentle. It was equally passionate, but the expression was different. It thrilled her. She liked the subtle strength in Noril. It was true what Sisnil had said. She did like Noril more. She was very attracted to him.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Noril kissed her back. His hand came to rest very gently against her back. She could tell he’d lost himself in the kiss.
~ N, Captain
Noril was gentle, but there was no lack of passion or confidence. No one ever acted like she was delicate and precious. Noril did. A very soft sigh breathed out of her as she lost herself in the kiss as well.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
After a while, Sisnil poked her in the back. Do you two need a room?
~ N, Captain
That sounded like an excellent idea to her, but there was an unfamiliar feeling of shyness. She had been lost in Noril and Sisnil had been right in the room. She didn’t think she had offened him. She hoped she hadn’t. She wasn’t ashamed or embarrassed about gestures of affection, but she felt her attraction, her feelings, for Noril were private. She pulled away slowly..Sounds good to me.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Noril smiled shyly. We were given separate suites, he said, with a glance at his brother, then a shy look at Vash.
~ N, Captain
I suppose our game is over. I got my wager after all. And more. She looked up at Noril, Is that what you want?
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
I uhm… The answer was obviously yes, emotionally and physiologically. Do you?
~ N, Captain
Vash nodded. I would very much like to know you better. To spend time with you. Remembering his earlier hesitation she clarified. I would like to … I mean … I want to spend time with you.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Noril laughed. I want to spend time with you too.
~ N, Captain
His laugh made her heart skip even though he was laughing at her expense. She wanted to make him laugh like that every day. She really should be more concerned with staying and entertaining them both. But Sisnil seemed to be quite happy about her attraction to Noril.
She stood in a smooth fluid motion, holding on to Noril’s hand. She waited for him to decide. They didn’t like to be seperated, or Noril might change his mind for any number of reasons.
Vashkilu, Infiltrator
Go, it’s alright, Sisnil urged Vash. Noril knew. They always just knew each other. Noril squeezed her hand and walked with her.
