Fishing for Compliments
"You are truly beautiful, Alanna." Thayet breathed in reverence, twisting Alanna's shoulder length red hair to the side and placing a soft kiss on the back of her neck.
"I know." Alanna replied, catching Thayet's hand and bringing it to her lips. Thayet pulled Alanna closer against her and wrapped her arms around her waist.
"Isn't there something you're supposed say back to me?" Thayet asked.
"Don't fish for compliments." Alanna reprimanded teasingly, smacking Thayet's wrist. She turned in Thayet's arms, displacing the thin sheet that was wrapped around them. She kissed the tip of Thayet's nose. "It isn't becoming."
"I mean it. You are the most beautiful person I have ever met. It's no wonder you've captured so many hearts." Thayet said with earnesty.
"Let's not think about anyone else. Right now, there is just the two of us." Alanna's voice was soft, pleading, as she wrapped her hand around Thayet's and gripped it tightly. "Let's not let anything ruin this moment."
Thayet knew she had overstepped. Alanna could be so... skittish.
Thayet ran her free hand through Alanna's hair. How she loved the lady knight's fiery mane. Hazel eyes met amethyst. Alanna's eyes were wide and trusting, filled with emotion. Thayet sighed wistfully. How can I show this woman how much I love her without scaring her off?
