The Queen

[Alluvia]

She smiled softly as she absentmindedly traced her fingertips across the back of his neck and strong shoulders.

[glow=blue,2,300]I know you will, and you should know that I will always be there for you as well.[/glow]

She shifted her weight once and a serious expression soon appeared on her face. She needed to know just how good of a king he would be to their people. Leadership, after all, was just another form of service.

[glow=blue,2,300]Please tell me those opinions of yours, Thalldyn. I think it best that I should hear them...[/glow]

[Snickerspods]

He flicked his white banner, lashing his sides with the long tresses. “Well,” Thalldyn began, unsure how to voice what he had in mind. “I believe the king and queen of a people serve as a symbol of unity and strength.” He paused, “That they should guide with a sure strong hand, rather than lead with fear and brutality.”
His brow drew together as he formulated sentences that he’d always thought but never voiced, “If war can be avoided then it should be, though sometimes it is all that is left.
Sometimes words have the power to cut where a knife could do naught but enrage.” His fingers began to draw circles on her lower back, close to her spine.

“In the past, in the occasions that I have led centaurs, I’ve always made sure I had their full support and respect. Rather than have them follow me blindly I always made sure they knew exactly what they were going into.
I can’t tell you how gratifying it is to know that despite the horrible nightmare they well know they’re entering they still choose to follow me. In situations like those you can’t risk the men suddenly realizing what you’re asking of them and flee.” Thalldyn explained to the best of his ability, a wash of appreciation claiming his face.

[Alluvia]

Alluvia nodded her head in agreement with what he had just spoken. She held those same beliefs also, and tried to keep them in mind whenever she had to make a decision regarding her people.

[glow=blue,2,300]Yes, I also believe that to receive respect, you've got to first give respect. Respect others and they will respect you.[/glow]

Another smile lightened her features as she waited for his response. She tried to stifle a giggle, though, as his teasing fingers began to tickle her lower back.

[Snickerspods]

Hearing a muffled noise from Alluvia Thalldyn glanced down, smirking when he realised his fingers where the reason for her smothered sound. His fingers stilled on her lower back only to move around to her sides and stroke his fingertips evilly up and down each side of her rib cage. Setting his fingers on repeat he shifted his mind back to her comment.

“Without respect there is no honesty. Someone may respect their greatest enemy, even if they desire the others demise.” His eyes went slightly out of focus as he dredged up a long ago memory. “One of my tutors use to quote. ‘We are obliged to respect, defend and maintain the common bonds of union and fellowship that exist among all members of a race.’”

He returned his cerulean gaze to the picture of Alluvia’s and smiled before lowering his head to kiss her. It was nothing more than a meeting of lips, a feather light brush of his to hers. And yet he conveyed his deeply felt love and his respect in the person he believed her to be in the simple innocent caress.

[[ooc: I would like a second opinion on the question I’ve been asking myself for the last day or two.
Should I scrap my female centaur and create another male one or not?
For reasons unknown to me people react better and tend to interact more with my male characters. –Sigh- I think it may have something to with the fact that I write comedy/romance/drama and it may have come out in my role-playing.]]

[Alluvia]

((I must admit, you rp best as a male centaur...))

Of their own accord, Alluvia's arms twined themselves around Thalldyn's neck once more with an almost eager anticipation. Yet she was not content for long with the seemingly chaste caress of his lips. Within a few heartbeats, she had moved closer until her form was pressed up against his, begging him to deepen the kiss. Slowly, she traced a finger down up his spine...

[Snickerspods]

Thalldyn smiled against her lips as she almost begged for more. He resisted the urge to chuckle, and indeed the impulse was quickly drowned in his own heated response. He complied with an almost dizzying conflagration of heat rushing through him as her form pressed voluptuously again his. Again he slid his tongue past the flimsy barrier of her lips into her mouth. Thalldyn was aware of a subtle sweetness he only tasted here in this place as he entwined his tongue with hers in a sensuous curl.

He took his time devouring the heady taste, probing deeply and sucking at her lips. Filling her with a flood of the passion she had silently demanded. His tongue moved over her lower lip in rhythmic ease, slowing his pace to a slower more sensual embrace.

He stifled a groan as her hand moved down his back, his muscles tensing under her fingers. In a kind of delightfully wicked retaliation he licked from the jut of her lips to the hollow of her throat. He pulled his head up and smirked playfully, licking his lips in an obvious show of pleasure.

[[ooc: Maybe it's because i can't stand having characters that are all damsel-in-distress or back-of-the-bus. And hence any female characters are strong independent personalities. *shrug* owell, alright I'll scrap Kallan and change her to Drayl. He's a character I've had in the back of my head for some time, he's very Ridd.ick like. I could have fun with him. -Cheesy Grin-]]

[Alluvia]

((Yeah, your females are quite independent. lol))

A wild tingle of excitement surged through Alluvia's blood when he complied by deepening the kiss. When his tongue penetrated her lips in a sensual invasion, a heated rush of feeling assaulted her. Her bodice shivered at the riveting sensation. She could feel the strength of his corded muscles, the heat of his powerful torso, and smell the inviting scent of him, both warm and faintly musky.

The sound of his stifled moan made her lips curve against his in a satisfied smile. She had discovered the seductive power she held over him now.

[Snickerspods]

Thalldyn saw the glint in her eye and held in another moan, DioThat look was enough to send blasts of melting heat rocketing through his bodice. He dipped his head and recaptured her lips, sliding his tongue with hers rhythmically, coaxingly. Thalldyn slid his palms round to her back, flattening his palms against the nubile flesh he pressed firmly. In this way he pressed their forms together, the flesh of his chest prickling with sensation. Rumbling up from his chest came a predatory growl and his kiss became more demanding, his tongue thrusting with single-minded determination. His hands quested down to rest on her human hips, just above where skin melded perfectly into coat. Using this new grip he pulled her hips and horse breast flush with his own, carefully placing his fore hooves as close to her own without clipping her. His right hand left off her hip to slide over the curve of her back, the graceful arch of her neck and to thread into the soft mass of her hair. He gripped lightly in her hair and coaxed her head back, still lip locked. Now he withdrew his tongue and gently took her lower lip between his teeth, where he commenced to lightly suck on it before releasing his hold. With his hand still holding her head at a passionate angle he began to work his lips over the curve of her jaw and chin, following the length of her windpipe to the hollow of her neck. Here he paused and licked the small indent, before deliberately wafting his warm breathe over the point.

Again he retraced his path back up to her kiss-swollen lips and again meld his white-hot mouth with hers. But this time he relinquished his hold on her hair, letting the hand slid down to rest neutrally on her lower back. His tongue began to coax hers into his mouth for once, and the neutral action of his hands and the gentle movement of his mouth as opposed to the frenzied passion of moments ago where all designed to invite her to dictate this kiss even if only for a moment.

[[ooc: Bahahaha, okay I’ll admit this one is designed to make anyone reading this go a bit red. I was feeling evil and vindictive, sue me :-P ]]

[Alluvia]

((Ha ha, yeah I turned a bit pink!))

It was now her turn to suppress a moan deep in her throat. Opening her passion-dazed eyes for a quick moment, she lightly nipped his lower lip before soothing it with the caress of her soft lips. With her fingertips, she gently traced circles up and down his back, unable to stop touching him. Her smile was just a bit provocative as she teasingly leaned even closer to brush her horse chest against his a few times.

[Snickerspods]

A feral grunt escaped Thalldyn as her clever hands moved over him, the sound turning into a deep-throated moan of delightful anguish as she seductively brushed her sleek bay chest against his black one. Blood was definitely traveling elsewhere. Responding to her kiss encouragingly he raked his fingers just a little roughly over the hide just below the line of her humane hips.

He reefed away from her suddenly, his breathing ragged though recovering quickly. “I think we seriously need to discuss the actual mating aspect of being mates.” He advised, his eyes flashing with significance as he gripped her shoulders and met her eyes with an intense one of his own.

[[ooc: Meh my muse is running low and seriously this thread has turned into a PG-13 make out session lol]]

[Alluvia]

Her lips curved into a calm smile as her chocolate eyes observed his passionate response and ragged breathing.

[glow=blue,2,300]What is it that you wish to discuss, Thalldyn?[/glow]

((So has mine, which is one reason why it's taken me so long to reply....lol))

[Snickerspods]

Thalldyn laughed abruptly at the innocent way she phrased her question. “You know perfectly well what I mean,” he mock scolded her, letting his hands brush affectionately up and down her back.

“But seriously,” his voice went down slightly, indicating that he was indeed serious. “As a royal an heir is something on the ‘to do’ list. But frankly I couldn’t care less about that ‘to do’ list. I know without a doubt I want you in that sense, just as much as I’d like a family with you.” Thalldyn set his forehead to hers, holding her velvet gaze. “But I want to know that this is something you’re ready for, something you want. I can wait until you’re ready, I will not pressure you into this if you’re not.”

He feathered his fingers delicately along her jaw line with a gentle smile, “I love you, that is all I need to know to be content to wait.”

[Alluvia]

The young queen sighed, wrinkling up her nose in remembrance of the "to-do" list of most monarchs. Her mellow orbs returned to an almost businesslike seriousness as she reluctantly answered,

[glow=blue,2,300]Ah, yes....that requirement. Personally, I do agree with you. An heir is not one of my first priorities, nor do I believe it should be, especially right now. You and I have many enemies, both here and abroad.[/glow]

She lightly traced her fingertips across his cheeks with an apologetic smile,

[glow=blue,2,300]I'm afraid that we shall both have to wait. Only know, that I love you too.[/glow]

[Snickerspods]

Thalldyn grinned as she told him she loved him, sliding his arms around her waist and gathering her into his hard chest.
“Then wait we shall,” he said, nuzzling her hair. He chuckled lightly, “Never thought I’d be a King, or more importantly I’d fall in love with someone as incredible as you.” He brushed his lips against her hair, breathing in her pleasant scent with every hint of rapture his eyelids fluttering closed.

[[ooc: Okay I think we’ve finally roleplayed this particular thread to death and I’m way way low on muse for this one.]]

[Alluvia]

((Yep, I officially must say: The End on this thread))
