When Artimer went to sleep he was brought back to his cave, the sounds the breeze the quiet of it all greeted him like an old friend. It seemed as though it was directing him to something else, an oasis of willow trees. When he landed he saw her walking through the trees her back to him. He smiled softly watching her for just a moment before he could not help himself at all.<br/><br/>He walked up to her and lightly placed his hand on her shoulder, gauging what her reaction would be. When she didn't pull away or tense, his heart fluttered against his chest. He could see a smile on her face as he moved her hair over her other shoulder so he could start kissing her neck gently. She shuddered under his touch, and he could feel her pulse quicken under his lips. His own heart was pounding through his chest. He longed for her skin against his own, and when her delicate hand went over his own he could not help but pull her closer. He placed his hand on her hip and gently pulled her closer as he stepped closer.  He watched as she turned her head to look up at him, the smile he longed for her to give was playing against her lips. He smiled his own charming, heart melting smile down at her before his lips met her own. His hand started moving on its own, over her stomach. His tongue brushed against her lips and she allowed their tongues to intertwine. To him she was like a delicate flower, or a precious work of art. He could not be anything but gentle. He wanted to feel every part of her silky soft skin on he stomach. he also longed to feel more of her, and his hand moved up towards her breast. he was amazed at how full and firm they felt in his hands. He could smell her rising heat and that along with the feel of her skin and their passionate kiss made him more then ready to give her all the fulfillment she wanted.<br/><br/>He could feel her giving herself over to him completely, and he wondered if she had ever been intimate with someone before. He hardly cared at the moment, he wanted her like he had never wanted anyone before, and he would give his whole life for just one moment like this with her. When she turned in his arms to continue the kiss, all he could do was hold her closer to himself as he lowered her to the ground. He put all his weight on he knees and elbows, being sure to keep as much weight off her as he possibly could. He wanted to taste her breasts, so his kisses moved from her lips over her chin and down her neck. He rubbed his hand down her side, slipping it under her skirt, resting on her hip. He would take this as slowly as he could, giving her time to process what he intended. When she pushed on his chest just enough to get his attention, he feared that she had enough, but her eyes told him otherwise. He smiled down at her as she spoke, "I'm a little nervous," she whispered to him. He shivered as her finger traced over his bottom lip. "This is my first time," her eyes searching his own, he was surprised, but he had the answer to his earlier query. He smiled down at her, softly say, "I will be gentle."<br/><br/>And he had, he went slowly when she grimaced in pain when he slowly pushed through. He gave her body time to adjust to the penetration. He had made slow endearing love with her, giving all that he was to her, as she did the same for him.<br/><br/>Slowly he awoke from the dream, when he was awake he wished it was not a dream. His heart was pounding and he subconsciously moved his tail to his front, hoping that if Clairissa was awake that she was not offended by what she saw. He lay there with his eyes closed breathing deeply as he tried to calm his pounding heart. He heard Clairissa getting up from her makeshift bed and getting dressed before she headed out the shelter. He stayed still as she left. He did not want her to know that he had just had the most intimate dream about her, not yet anyways. When his heart beat was steady he got up. He changed back into his human-ish form  and walked out the shelter. He was surprised to see her sitting at the fountain. She looked like she was thinking really hard about something.<br/><br/>He stood there looking at her for a few moments before he stepped out of the shadows of the shelter. "Clairissa?" concern was present on his face.
