Author: Raven Shadowrose
Pairing: Auron/OC
Summary: Auron and Seloria let their attraction to each other morph into something more at the Thunder Plains Travel Agency
A/N: Seloria joined the party at Kilika Woods after the party had been to the temple and she killed a fiend that had been about to attack Yuna. If there is sufficient interest in this story I may write some one shots on Auron and Seloria meeting and their developing attraction to each other. Inspiration for Seloria's hair came from the Dothraki in A Song of Ice and Fire, the Khal does not cut his hair until he is defeated in battle.
Chapter Two... Auron.
I awoke to the sound of the storm outside the Travel Agency that we had stayed in the previous night. I was right when I said to Rikku that the storm never stops on the Thunder Plains. I remember being a little bit annoyed with her for making us stop, however, I suppose she is to thank for the fact Seloria is lying in my arms. It surprises me how long I have slept after making love to Seloria last night, it has been a long time since I slept for more than an hour or two at a time. I had thought it would be impossible for someone like Seloria to have feelings for a battle scarred warhorse like me. It appears that she does feel something for me because she is still here and sleeping in my arms. I'm not going to wake Seloria right now, I want to keep watching her as she is sleeping. I've not had the chance to watch a woman as she sleeps, it is all new to me. I had a brief encounter with a woman many years ago, though she left afterwards, she did not want to stay the night. That experience was a whole lot different compared to the time I spent with Seloria last night.
She looks a lot different while she is sleeping, softer somehow. I have seen her in battle, she is fierce, she has taken down many a fiend to protect Yuna. I know I can trust her to protect Yuna if I cannot for any reason. Seloria is a warrior, she has earned that title, she is very skilled with the sword that is currently resting against the wall. I have watched her looking after her sword, she takes very good care of it. The sword is an extension of her arm in battle, it is almost as though she becomes one with it during the fight. Seloria is an artist, it is obvious she has spent a lot of time honing her skills in fighting. I turn my attention back to the sleeping Seloria, her braid has started to come undone during the time she has been sleeping. I like watching her as she sleeping, it is a totally different side to her than when she is awake.
I meant it when I said that I don't know how much time we will have together, this pilgrimage will come to an end, perhaps sooner than I want it to. I promised Seloria the present, I will honour that promise to her. For as long as this pilgrimage continues I will be with her as long as she wants me to be there with her. I trailed my fingers over her back and arms, her skin is so soft for someone who wears armour for most of the day. I'm trying to take every curve of Seloria's body into my mind, I want to remember everything about her. It is her eyes that I remember the most, they show everything that she feels, I have seen fire and passion in them.
Her hand is resting on my chest, so is her head, there is the smallest hint of a smile on her lips. I am captivated, her eyelashes cast shadows on her cheeks. She looks as though she is dreaming, though her face does not give away what she is dreaming about. She looks calm, relaxed and happy, maybe she is having a good dream. I wonder how she will feel when she wakes up, will she feel the same as she did last night? The room that I had use of has not been touched, everything I have with me is in here. Will everyone else know that we spent the night together? I think Yuna has figured it out how I feel about Seloria, I have seen her watching us both when we are together. She always has a knowing look on her face. She is like her father in that respect, he always knew everything that the people around him were thinking and feeling as well.
Seloria started to stir in my arms, I watch her wake up and the thought I had last night returned, she is quite something. Her eyes opened and she looked up at me, I saw her smile and lie her head back down on my chest. "What time is it? Do we have to leave yet?"
"Not yet, it is all quiet from the other rooms."
"Good, that means I can stay here with you."
"Can you do something for me?" I saw curiosity light up in Seloria's eyes.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Take your hair down, I want to see it."
"Okay." Seloria sat up and her hands deftly undid the loosening braid, she shook her hair briefly and ran her fingers through it. It was chestnut coloured and almost long enough for her to sit on.
I saw Seloria look over her shoulder at me, her violet eyes contrasted perfectly with her hair, she looked amazing. "You are the first person that has seen me with my hair down in a long time."
"I am honoured that you have let me see it, you look beautiful Seloria."
"Thank you, I am glad you think so." A little bit of a blush developed on Seloria's face. "It is not very practical to have my hair down in battle, hence the braid." Seloria started to braid her hair once more, I wished she would leave it as it is. "You're not in a battle now, leave it down, it suits you."
"Okay, I will, for you." I sat up and moved closer to Seloria, I wanted to touch her.
I brushed the hair back from Seloria's shoulder and kissed the bare skin that I found there, I moved my lips up to her neck which elicited a quiet moan from her. "Auron, don't we have to leave to continue the pilgrimage soon?"
"Not yet, we have time for this." Seloria turned to face me and I saw the look she gave me, she really wanted to stay with me. She kissed me, her lips moving firmly against mine, her hands moving up and down my chest. I ran my fingers through her hair, it was as soft as her skin. She moved away from my lips, her lips were red from the kiss we had just shared and her pupils were dilated. Seloria licked her lips, it sent a bolt of desire through me and made me want her even more.
I looked at Seloria and pushed her down onto the bed, I looked down at her and stroked my fingers down her neck to her breast. "Seloria, you are gorgeous." She smiled at my words.
"Thank you, you're very handsome."
"You're welcome." I buried my head into her neck and kissed the sensitive skin there, I heard her breath hitch and felt her fingers grip my hip. I lifted my head and kissed my way down to her breast, I licked her nipple and she gave a gasp of pleasure. I repeated the action on the other nipple and she made the same noise. "I think you like that, I wonder what else you like." I kissed my way down her body and listened to the sounds of pleasure that came from her mouth. I liked the sounds that were coming from her and the fact that I was the one making them happen.
I brushed my fingers over the hair that resided between her legs, I felt her shiver, it was almost like she was waiting for me to do something more. I slipped a finger between her folds and brushed it against her clitoris, a small moan fell from her lips and her eyes fluttered shut. I moved my lips over her belly and flicked my tongue against her clitoris, she gasped in surprise. I suckled on her clitoris and she moaned, it appears I have found something else she likes. I pushed a finger inside her and curled it upwards, Seloria's moans grew closer together. I felt her hands grip my head and I added a finger to the one already pleasuring her. "Auron, please," Seloria moaned. I loved the sound of my name on her lips. I moved my fingers deeper inside her and felt her muscles clench around my fingers as she fell into orgasm. Her hands fell away from my head and rested against the covers, the orgasm had brought colour to her cheeks, it looked good on her.
I gently removed my fingers from Seloria's body and crawled up to lie beside her, she pulled me close to her and kissed me, her tongue pushing into my mouth. I moved on top of her and kissed her hard, her nails scratched a path down my back and I groaned into her mouth. I'm sure that I am going to have marks left on my back at the end of this time with her. I don't care about the marks, all I am focused on is the sensations of Seloria's hands on my body and her mouth kissing me. I moved out of the passionate kiss that I was sharing with Seloria and looked down at her. "Seloria, I love how my name sounds coming off your lips when I am pleasuring you." A blush appeared on Seloria's face, it looked very good on her. "You blush, why?"
"Someone might have heard me."
"Does it matter if they did? The other guardians won't respect you any less, besides Wakka and Lulu have been doing the same thing that we are doing since the Mi'ihen Highroad Travel Agency."
"They have?" I almost laughed at the look on Seloria's face, she was truly surprised that Wakka and Lulu are sleeping together.
Seloria looked at me and she used her strength to push me onto my back, her hand drifted down my body and I felt her grip my erection. She looked into my eyes and her hand moved up and down, I felt myself grow harder from her touch and I groaned. "Seloria, if only you knew what you're doing to me right now." I saw her smile, it looked as though she definitely knew what she was doing to me. Her free hand trailed down my body and tickled the bare skin on my chest. I felt the pleasure increase as she used her fingers to tease my nipples into peaks. I groaned her name and she stilled her hand that was stimulating my erection. "Why did you stop?" She smiled, it was almost as though she was teasing me.
A few moments passed and Seloria moved her hand up and down my length again, she was barely touching me, it caused me groan in disappointment. "Seloria, please, I need more from you."
"I never thought I would hear the great Sir Auron beg a woman for her touch." Seloria tightened her grip and her hand moved faster, she looked directly at me as she used her talented hands on my body. I watched her as she worked, she was very good at what she was doing. I put my hand on top of Seloria's where it lay on my chest. "Seloria, you have to stop, I don't want this to be over yet." Seloria moved her hand away from my length, though she looked quite proud of herself.
I moved over Seloria and lowered her back onto the bed and nudged her legs apart so I could fit myself between them. I kissed her neck and I buried my full length inside her body, I wanted to make love to her. Seloria gasped as she felt my length settle inside her body. I held myself still and looked down at her, I wanted her to feel everything I had to give her. I moved slowly out and back into Seloria's body, she moaned in pleasure and I stilled myself inside her once more. "Auron," she moaned. "Don't tease me."
"You teased me earlier, I am returning the favour."
"Auron, I don't need slow right now."
"You need to beg, you will get what you want when you plead with me to give it to you." I moved slowly until Seloria felt her orgasm began to build and then I stopped. I heard her give a moan of disappointment, she would beg me before long.
I stayed still inside Seloria's body and trailed my mouth over her naked chest, I gave her a little bit of what she wanted and claimed her mouth. I felt her moan into it and she scratched her fingers down my back. It was hard for me to stay still, I wanted to move inside her, I wanted to make her scream with pleasure. "All you have to do is beg Seloria and you can have what you want. I want to make love to you." Seloria looked at me, I saw the look in her eyes and I knew she would do what I wanted her to.
"Auron, please."
"Please what?"
"I want you, I need you, please make love to me."
"Consider it done." I moved Seloria's legs around my waist, I wanted her to feel every movement I made inside her as I made love to her.
Seloria moaned as I hit a spot deep inside her body, her eyes had locked onto my good one and she was looking at me as we made love. I felt the connection we had between us, it was gaining potency as Seloria looked at me. She stroked her fingers over the scar on my face and down to the ones on my chest, it only served to increase the closeness between us. I looked down at Seloria, the pleasure I was giving her was clear on her face. Her pupils had dilated and she was biting her lip, she moaned my name and I moved that bit deeper inside her. She lifted her hips towards mine and moaned as another orgasm moved through her body. "Seloria," I groaned, I was so close. I buried my head into her neck and thrust into her body until I spilled everything I had inside her.
I touched my forehead to Seloria's, I stayed inside her, if I moved then we would have to get up and continue on the journey. Her fingers were moving over my back, I felt them drawing patterns on my skin. I lifted my head away from her neck and captured her gaze, she looked back at me. I was trying to find the right words, something meaningful to let her know how I felt about her. "Seloria..." I wish I knew what else to say to her. We had spent the night and the morning together, I wanted her to know that it meant something to me. "Auron, it's okay, I know." She tightened her arms around and held me close to her, it was comforting. I hope this will not be the last time that I get a chance to be with Seloria.
I heard Seloria murmuring comforting words to me, I want to stay here, but I know that we cannot. I steel myself and look up at Seloria, she smiles at me and I find the courage to say what I have to. "We have to get up, the pilgrimage must go on." I heard the regret in my voice, I wondered if it was obvious to Seloria.
"I know, it is time." I slowly moved out Seloria's body and sat on the edge of the bed, it was hard to be away from her. I felt Seloria sit up and turned to look at her, she had wrapped the sheet from the bed around her body. I took a deep breath in and then turned my attention to finding my shirt and trousers. Once I had put my shirt and trousers back on I sat back down on the bed and pulled my boots around from the side of the bed.
I felt Seloria's arms around me and she settled her head on my shoulder. "Auron, I promise you this will not be the last time we are together." I put my hand on top of Seloria's and squeezed it, it felt good that she had promised me we would be together again. "Of course we will." Seloria unwound her arms from around my chest and she sat beside me. I watched her as she braided her hair, it was elaborate and it suited her. "I'm always going to remember you with your hair down."
"I will take it down for you and you alone." I smiled and kissed her on the head.
"Thank you, Seloria." She nodded and kissed me gently at the corner of my mouth, she stood up and started to put on her armour for when we would need to leave the Travel Agency.
I shifted my haori into its usual position and buckled the straps around my waist. I picked up my glasses and put them on. Seloria was checking the fastenings on her armour to make sure that it would protect her during the battles we faced in the coming day. I noticed that there were places where it had taken a few hits, it had obviously done its job as she was still alive. She picked up her sword and placed it into the sheath on her back, it was a move she had done hundreds of times. She picked up the helmet and she held it in her hands, she then turned to face me. "Ready?"
"If you are." I sensed Seloria's hesitation and I took her hand in mine. "Come on, Yuna needs us."
"You're right, she does." I squeezed Seloria's hand and opened the door for us, the journey must go on for everyone involved in it.
