If the sight of the bedroom and the breath taking view through that clear dome that was it's ceiling didn't make her intentions clear, the rustle of fabric did so.  It caught his ear as he was looking up at the sea above them, fish swimming by not far over their heads, and drew his gaze back down.  "Venus," he breathed as his eyes fell on Wavecrest's bare body and she gave him that delightfully naughty smile.  She had a lovely body, there was no denying it.  Not quite the lush curves of her older sister but feminine and desirable, even if petite.  He drew in a breath and inclined his head in appreciation, "Now that's the most divine sight I've had this whole trip."<br/><br/>Talion pulled the hood of the robe down, smiling.  "Figured me out, hm?  Again, you are clever.  I wonder if Pearly told you the whole story...but that doesn't matter now."  This was...dangerous.  So dangerous.  He wanted her, he couldn't deny it.  But it would be trouble.  And it would be trouble if he denied her.  But being in bed with her would leave him vulnerable.  To her and anyone else who might be in wait.  Sun's perfect ass, he'd screwed up big on this whole thing.  "Do you think she knows?"  If she did, he was sure she'd have blown her top but maybe Pearly had more self-control and deceit in her than he was giving her credit for.<br/><br/>He began to undo the fastenings of his robe, slowly exposing pale skin that was taut over agile muscle.  Slowly to tease, to build the mood, and almost entirely to stall for time to try and think of a way out or see the best path forward.  "Will you tell her when we're gone?  That the man who humiliated her was here?  That you bedded him because he found you far more beautiful and interesting?"  Appeal to the ego.  That was usually good with the powerful.  And then...and then he'd have to figure out the next step.<br/><br/>And trust his instincts more next time.  Tolina wouldn't be having this problem.  Probably.
