Izu had adjusted himself to match Alida's mood, yet had retained dominance. He commanded her body with his touches, whether he realized it or not, and Alida's body responded wholly to Izu. While she may have had control on the pace, it was still Izu who controlled her pleasure with his gentle touches and firm embraces.<br/><br/>The way he looked at her as they moved against each other has left Alida feeling more desirable than she ever knew possible. In that moment, her insecurities about how much she meant seemed to melt away. It was then that Izu pulled away from her lips to whisper her name, sending a pleasurable shiver down her spine.<br/><br/>The two of them continued their slow, sensual dance until they began to near their peaks. Alida could feel the slight pulse of Izu's twitch, leaning forward to grind more quickly against Izu--determined to make him feel the same amount of pleasure she did.<br/><br/>Suddenly Alida found herself looking into Izu's intense gaze as he held her firmly, yet gently by the chin. Alida stared back with curious, aroused eyes as she examined the emotions that seemed to flicker behind Izu's. She didn't have much time to contemplate it as he drew her into a kiss, pushing deeply into her as he came. It seemed that at that moment Alida, too, was hitting her own climax.<br/><br/>At first her breathing had picked up, the pants turning into soft gasps which had escalating into high pitch, quick moans. Some of Alida's moans would be interrupted as Izu would shift, causing her to give a half gasp, half cry of pleasure. Soon, a white heat spread through her body right as Izu locked Alida into a tender kiss.<br/><br/>Once the sensations flooded Alida, Izu gave one last pump and she fell foward to lean limply against Izu's frame. They stayed there for a moment and Izu said something about Alida's seeming appreciation for anal. She didn't really respond, still panting lightly as pleasurable mini jolts tingled down her spine.<br/><br/>Izu began to disentangle himself from Alida and she gave a whine, just wishing to sit there a little while longer with him, but Izu's next words made her groan in anticipation of a good shower.<span style="color: #BF0000">"Let's go get cleaned up. You look like a glazed doughnut..."</span>Alida wasn't sure what a glazed doughnut was, but cleaning up sounded remarkably nice. She didn't notice the lingering, appreciative stare of Izu.<br/><span style="color: #BF0000"><br/>"Alida, just out of curiosity, how many other partners have you had?" </span>Izu asked out of the blue, a curious tone painting his voice.<span style="color: #BF0000">"I mean, you haven't fooled around with anyone, have you? Even if it was just someone feeling you up, or copping a feel...?" </span>he asked. At first, Alida didn't understand the question, but as a tingle of jealousy invaded her, she realized what Izu meant. He wanted to know if she had ever been claimed by someone else in the same way he had claimed her.<br/><br/>Well, that was impossible, but she realized he likely didn't know. She shook her head no,<span style="color: #408000"> "Izu claim Alida. Only Izu. Alida not be claimed because only can claim one."</span>Alida was doing her best to explain that her people could only be claimed once and so if she had been claimed by anyone else before Izu, then it was impossible for her and Izu to have actually been able to do anything as she simply would feel too guilty or just not interested. She had never heard of any of her people doing such a thing and most felt physically ill at just the thought of being with others. The only exception to that rule was the death of one of the partners and even then most never moved on.<br/><br/><span style="color: #408000">"Alida never been claim. Alida only been promised," </span>she explained. She had been in something similar to an arranged marriage, though it was not a strict thing. Alida was considered rather old to not be partnered off. She had just not felt anything towards anyone in her homeland and therefore had never bothered with romance. Her parents had been worried that Alida would end up alone--something that rarely happened in her world but was rumored to be fatal.<br/><br/>Alida wasn't so sure that it was. She had been quite happy in her independence, never worried about if she would find love or not. It was unusual, at least to her people, and so her parents arranged for a partnership. The man's name had been Yehuda and he had wanted Alida for a very long time, though she had never reciprocated. When the match had been announced, Alida had not been upset, but she had not been happy either. She had felt totally neutral as she could get along with nearly anyone and Yehuda was not a bad man.<br/><br/>While the match had been made, they had not been forced to immediately connect. Instead, they had let Alida get used to Yehuda and Yehuda was much too nervous to really push Alida into anything that she didn't want to do. He loved her spirit, he said, and did not wish to break it in any way. Alida thought it was sweet that he was letting her be herself and not demanding an immediate pairing.<br/><br/>And then monstrous creatures attacked her home. She had been frantically searching for her family--her parents and brother as the trees around her caught flame. Yehuda had been with her, helping her save those she could. Her brother had finally emerged, reciting ancient language that only the religious used and then all went black.<br/><br/>Alida had been quiet for a little bit, a bit of guilt settling in her gut. She didn't feel guilty about breaking the promise to Yehuda, as it was understood in her culture that such a thing was okay to break if you managed to find someone you felt drawn to. No, she felt guilty that she was rather enjoying herself in this new world and had been constantly trying to push back the memories of what had happened right before she arrived.<br/><br/><span style="color: #408000">"Alida promised Yehuda, but not matter," </span>she finally finished, giving a weak smile. She truly meant it, her promise to Yehuda didn't matter. Her and Izu had been drawn to each other, which was considered far more sacred than an arranged partnership. Yehuda might be disappointed, but ultimately it only meant that there was a better match in the world for him.
