Tae'loren didn't need to agree to her plan with his words, his actions were more than enough. Elariel could see him taking in her suggestions with a nod of agreement. Then, much to her surprise, he spoke no more of their quandry, instead he talked of his loyalty to her. Her cheeks warmed at his assessment of her and his confession of loyalty. In the moments that followed, Elariel wondered at the depth of his confession as well as her own feelings. She had known him for less than two days and already she knew they had a deep connection. She had never felt that so quickly with any of her previous lovers, and it surprised her. The words he had used to describe her had been ones that she had been hearing from others her entire life, somehow he managed to get a quick measure of her.<br/><br/>As much as Elariel wanted to ponder the miracle of her new connection, Tae'loren managed to distract her from it. His arms wrapped around her and pulled her onto his lap, his body warm against hers. Then his kiss consumed her; passionate, impatient, desperate. In that instant she wanted her as badly as he wanted her. She twisted so that she was straddling him and wrapped her own arms around him. Her hands pushed up his back, fingers tangling with his long hair as her tongue warred with his. When her breath was coming in ragged gasps she pulled her lips away from his and trailed kisses across his cheeks and to his ear.<br/><br/>"I hardly know anything about you, yet I feel like I have known you a lifetime." Elariel nipped at his ear lobe, her breath against his skin, as she whispered to him. She trailed kisses back to his lips as she pressed down against him, a moan escaping her delicately parted lips as she felt him through the layers of their clothes.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
