When she felt him catching up so fast, she squealed as she tried to pick up the pace. But she knew it'd be no use, somehow he'd grown faster and faster. Where once she could outrun him so easily, now it almost felt as if he were<em>letting</em>her get a head start only to catch up so quickly and pounce her. As she still tried to run, she felt her cheeks heat up at the thought of what could happen when he did catch her. A slight shiver ran across her svelte body as her feet continued to pound against the mossy earth. They'd never gone beyond sweet words, tender caresses and sensual kisses, but the ache in her body was becoming too much to ignore. She couldn't deny her feelings for her most dear friend, but her visions kept her fearful. Two men. Always two men in her dreams with her between them. It confused her, but she would never allow anyone to hurt her beloved Roran. Regardless of her visions.<br/><br/>Soon, she heard the distance between the two increasing as she slowed to look around, panting as her eyes scanned the bushes and trees to see where Roran had gotten to.<em>I....I lost him!</em>, she thought, a devious smile curling at her tempting lips as she turned to try and run, before finding herself pinned to a tree. "Roran!!!!" she laughed as he held her there. "You shameful trickster!!" she teased, before he pulled her into  a deep kiss. She was always stunned when they kissed, the chemistry between them more than a little obvious if anyone were to come upon the two. When he pulled back, she looked up at him with those green eyes, like pools of emerald as he asked her what her last requests were. She giggled a bit bashfully, a hint of nervousness in her voice.<br/><br/>Before she could answer, she heard that soft whisper. Her cheeks could grow no redder, almost matching that vivid hair of hers. She could not shake the image of Roran, that body ripped with muscles honed from years of hard work and most likely chasing her when they played together, laying atop her and feeling his lips caress ever inch of her so that no part was left untouched. She swallowed, shaking a little as she looked down a moment. Being so close to him, his scent made her feel so safe, and she knew her heart was already his. Despite the fact she could not shake the feeling that another would find his place there as well. "My request then i...is...." she looked up into his eyes once more, "...is that.....you be tender with me." He would not need to ask what she meant, their unspoken desires bubbling to the surface at last.<br/><br/>She shyly nuzzled against his chin, still that wonderfully shy girl he'd always known. Despite her uncanny ability to be a mischievous imp, she was as sweet as fresh cream, or the pies the baker would make first thing in the morning. Her heart pounded even harder as she wrapped her arms about him, hugging him close to her. Her trembling would be evident, but so was her desire. "Roran....it would be the woods where you would claim me isn't it...." she managed to tease him a little, pressing her cheek against his chest for a moment.
