[ she steps further into the house, folding her hands behind her back. the kiss he leaves on her lips still tingles and she briefly touches her mouth, wanting another one. though sola is by and large unshakable, rilan has gotten what he wanted through those messages, leaving her wanting him even more as the seconds pass.
she keeps her hands neatly folded behind her, leaning casually against the doorframe to watch him. ]
I would like the company, especially when I must travel.
[Rilan returns shortly with a glass of chilled water and offers it to Sola, fully aware of the way he's watched as he moves. He enjoys it. This may not be his natural form, but it is one that he feels as much himself in, and one that Sola is attracted to. That matters to him very much, which is part of why he's so comfortable in letting her look her fill.]
I'd be glad to spend more time with you, especially if it means also getting to explore more of this planet.
[When she's taken the glass, his hands return to her body, resting at her waist and thumbs rubbing idle circles over her skin through the fabric of her clothes.]
I have a few places in mind for tonight, but if you trust my intentions I think the bed would be the most comfortable for you.
And other planets when we have council meetings and conferences, [ she adds helpfully before taking a drink of water. it feels good and she had not realized how long it had been since she last drank. her throat no longer feeling dry, she clears it again and leans happily into his touch. ] Only when you're able to. I know that you will make some plans for yourself as well.
[ with a chuckle, she nods at his suggestion. they both certainly like to push certain buttons without committing to the full act after all, though sola finds nothing wrong with that either. it's healthy for most couples to test out their intimacy before they lay with each other in the marriage bed. ] And, I trust your intentions. Let us go.
[Rilan leads Sola back to his bedroom, where he has done minor preparations. The bed is made, where it wasn't before, with a few pillows on the bed arranged in anticipation of Sola resting there. The lighting is dim, but he hasn't lit any candles or done anything that might be deemed romantic.
When he wants to romance his fiancee, or wife eventually, he'll see if it's to her taste then. For now, he leads her over to the bed, but turns her into his arms to sneak another kiss. And a second for himself.] Do you prefer to be dressed or undressed, buttercup?
[He grins a little after testing another endearment, shaking his head.]
[ when he pulls away from their kiss, he'll find sola wrinkling her nose in distaste. she laughs and shakes her head with him. ] Neither do I.
[ to answer his question, she begins do undo the gold buttons adorning the side of her russet-colored dress, opening the collar to reveal a black slip beneath it. considering all they have done so far, the steps they have been taking ( or rather, the way they have been speeding ) towards intimacy, sola feels no qualms about revealing even more skin. it's only fair, after all, since she had just asked him to send him more shirtless photos.
with a slight curl of her lip, she pulls an arm out of the sleeve. ] I think this is suitable..
[Rilan allows himself to run his hands through Sola's hair again for the sake of his own indulgence. It's long and pretty and it feels like silk between his fingers. As she works over her dress to reveal the slip (something he notices with appreciation,) Rilan circles around behind her.
His hand pulls her hair aside as he leaves kisses along the curve of her neck.]
So, little sun or little moon? Do couples often determine which of them is sun and which is moon? Or could both be suns or both moons?
[He can't say that he is opposed to these, though he will likely have to get used to them before they slide off his tongue with ease.]
[ the dress drops to the floor, pooling at her feet. sola daintly brushes the fabric aside, for once not bothering to hang it up or fold it. ]
Typically one is the sun and one is the moon, but ah – [ that feels nice, the way he brushes his hands through her hair, the way he kisses her neck. sola closes her eyes, some of the tension from the day already sliding off her shoulders. she leans into him and pulls her hair over one shoulder with him, holding it there. ]
What is most important is the gravitational pull, the way two beings can orbit around each other.
[Rilan watches as the dress slips down from her body, and feels his mouth go dry at the sight of her. He's always known she was beautiful, but seeing so much more of her than he did that night they were together...it momentarily stuns him into silence.
He's very attracted to her and yes, he wants to do a number of things with her that would shock even some of the more adventurous people out there in the universe, but in that moment he's just shocked by her beauty. It takes all of his willpower not to reach out and touch her in ways that have nothing to do with a massage.
Rilan leaves a line of kisses along her shoulder, bare with her hair pulled out of the way, and flicks the tip of his tongue against her skin before guiding her over to his bed.]
You're the little sun between us then. The brilliant politician who shines light on everything around her. And I'm the moon that orbits around the sun. What light I have would be a reflection of you, as the moon waxes and wanes in the sky, I'll be more or less present in your public life as you need from me. [He finds her ear then and nibbles at the shell of it before letting her move onto the bed.] But always in your orbit.
[ with her attire so well-made and structured, her slip is flowy by comparison, barely clinging to the subtle curves of her body. she stands confidently before him, enjoying the attention he lavishes on her neck and shoulder, though she does miss the way he looks at her in shocked silence. ]
Mm, [ sola hums, closing her eyes until they start moving towards his bed. she is not especially poetic but will try to respond to those pretty words in kind, knowing he doesn't expect or need such a response from her but wanting to do so anyway, ] Celestial bodies in each other's pull, better when around each other.
[ her calves gently bump against the mattress and she turns in his arms, sliding her fingers through his hair again to kiss him tenderly before perching herself on the edge of the bed. she looks a lot smaller then, for once appearing as her actual diminutive height. ]
I certainly hope to be better, and to allow you to be greater with me than apart.
[It's simple and heartfelt, to his way of thinking. A truth. It's not just that he wants to make this marriage work, that he wants to support the political alliance that will be formed by it, or to ensure that he never has to go back to his home planet. He likes Sola a lot, and he respects her immensely. He can think of little better than to support her and see her achieve above and beyond her goals.
That she is petite on his bed, and delicate and lovely, does nothing to alter the fact that he thinks highly of her. Rilan bends down, having been gifted with one kiss, and steals another before carefully lifting her legs up and swinging them onto the bed to ease her down. His hands slip under her body then and he lifts her with ease, putting her more center on the bed.]
[ she's as light as a feather in his arms and her arms slowly slide from his body when he lowers her onto the center of the bed, fingers catching the dips between his muscles, sliding over any exposed skin she can reach before she eventually leans away from him, palms pressed against the mattress to keep her upright. ]
Jasmine, [ she answers without hesitation. in most cases, she would protest such fussing over her – she's independent, she can take care of herself, but today she lets rilan do as he asks. it will help them become better partners, right? figuring out their ebb and flow together?
sola looks smaller on the bed, sitting up straighter and pulling her knees to her chest, the lace of her slip covering them both. ]
