These were sentiments they had shared before, yet hearing Navia speak them never ceased to make Théadan's heart soar, and remind himself how fortunate he was to have Navia, to have fallen in love with her, and to have a future they would share together. She drew him into a kiss, one Théadan allowed himself to sink into with the slow way she opened herself up to him, lips parting, tongue coiling around his, seeking more of his taste that he gladly gave with a contented hum. He felt her hands at his shirt, low on his abdomen, bunching it upwards as their lips and tongues moved in unison. Eventually their drawn out kiss had to part, breaking so Navia could take the shirt over his head and toss it away, leaving his top half bare before her wandering eyes, and he did so love to watch where her eyes naturally drifted over him, looking for what parts of him really stirred her lusts for him.<br/><br/>Navia had more to say though, her voice quiet, meant only for him  with the rain beating down on the barns roof over head. It was touching to have her believe in him so readily, to be the man she found to surpass what she had dreamed of having. He hoped he would never be any less than what she saw in him, to Théadan, Navia deserved the best in life, that it was him that she chose meant he had to be his best for them both. He hands were running over his chest, feeling his musculature, Théadan leaned into her roaming hands a little, just to encourage her to feel where ever she desired, it was all hers to enjoy anyway. As she spoke of him being her 'truest friend' Théadan noticed the tears welling in the corners of her eyes, and the slight strain in her voice as she suddenly felt the need to try and control some of the emotions threatening to take over.<br/><br/>She persisted in what she had to say however, and with the tears and rush of emotion Navia was clearly feeling, it was touching to hear her describe them in such a beautiful way. Théadan wore a bright smile, reaching a hand to cup Navia's cheek. Where before he had been quick to wipe the tears away, this time he left them where they were because they were a part of how she had expressed her love for him. "You're the love of my life too, Navia." He replied, like for like, leaning down to press another kiss to her lips. "I've known it for some time now, but you still find ways to surprise me, and always give me even more reasons to love you." He hoped they would never stop learning new things about each other, he loved how she could find ways to catch him off guard, and do the unexpected.<br/><br/>With the hand that had been toying with the fringes of Navia's dress, he moved to begin loosening the ties that held it to her body, pulling at the cords until they were undone. "You showed me I did not have to follow in the footsteps of my own family, and helped me find the courage to make the decisions I believed in." His hand drifted a little down her cheek to her jaw and under her chin, which he lifted slightly so he could indulge them both with another heady kiss, one he timed with his hand bunching her dress under her, encouraging her to lift her hips so he could slide it upwards until their lips had to separate so he could tug it over her head and discard it in the same direction she had thrown his shirt. "That's why you're my Alu'wei."<br/><br/>Everything he had come to know about Navia he admired, her sense of morality, her wit and humour, the way she liked to tease and play games, and how she spoke her mind when something needed saying. They were all attributes he found attractive in her, and it made every moment with her thrilling. His eyes roamed her body, her complexion all the darker with the lack of light. He could still see her curves, and was becoming aroused just with the knowledge of where their evening was heading. Even so there was nothing quite like feeling of their bare flesh meeting, and with that thought Théadan lowered himself down so his bare chest could press warmly against hers, his lips brushing against hers before seeking to nibble on the flesh of her neck and leave another one of his marks that showed her to be his.
