Allura woke up when she felt the sun shining on her face. She was laying on her back, her silver locks splayed out on the pillow and she sighed in contentment. It was so peaceful out here. She could faintly hear some birds chirping outside. The wind rushing in between the canyons. The tongue gently lapping at her core-Her eyes widened and she looked to her left and noticed that Keith wasn't there. She looked down and could see the outline of a person in between her legs under the blankets. She picked them up and looked down and found her paladin lazily licking her folds before looking up and smirking at her. His obsidian eyes were shining with mischief.
"Good morning my love." He tells her huskily and kisses her cunt. "Don't mind me. I'm just having some breakfast." He jokes and she smiles and rolls her eyes at him.
He chuckled and spread her folds open with his fingers before attaching his mouth to her pussy and sucking and licking her ravenously.
Allura's mouth opened in a silent scream as his tongue ran over all of the sensitive parts of her womanhood. His tongue gently pressed on her clitoris and she squeaked and covered her mouth to keep herself from obscenely moaning in a very unattractive way. But she couldn't help the whine of pleasure that escaped when Keith stuck his wet muscle into her entrance and started wriggling it around her insides. She rocked her hips against his face and he held her hips down to keep her steady despite her writhing as she neared her release. He moved his tongue in a figure 8 around her pussy and she whimpered and desperately fought against his strong hands so she could move her hips. But it was to avail, her hips were effectively pinned down and she couldn't move them at all as he devoured her pussy. He gave her clitoris a few harsh licks and then sucked the bundle of nerves into his mouth and Allura threw her head back and moaned as she came.
Her legs were shaking and she was breathing heavily as she watched Keith lap up her cum then sit up and wipe off his mouth, looking incredibly sexy.
"Did you enjoy your meal?" Allura asks and Keith chuckles.
"It was delicious." He says and smiles at her. "Would you like to taste?" He asks and leans over her.
They both smile and giggle and Keith leans down and captures her lips in his. She moans softly into his mouth after tasting her cum on his lips. She runs her hands down his lean toned body and sighs in content as he pulls away and smiles at her.
"I love you." He says.
"I love you too." She says.
He smiled and got up from the bed and picked up a tray of food that was on the table by the couch. She sits up and pulls the blanket up to cover her bare chest, aware that she was still naked. Keith was only wearing his boxers.
"Now I did make some actual food for us for breakfast." He says and places a tray of food on her lap.
Allura smiled as she looked at the tray of food in front of her.
"I was wondering what that divine smell was." She says and looks at the food in front of her. "What kind of food goo is this?"
Keith laughed and kissed her head.
"It's not food goo Lu." He says. "It's food. They're called pancakes." Allura gasped.
"Are we having cake for breakfast?" She asks him excitedly.
Keith can't help himself and he cups her cheek and leans down and kisses her lovingly and hungrily, greatly enjoying the small moans of pleasure that emit from her throat as he devours her mouth with his own and she responds in turn and tries to do the same to his. She sighed and her eyes widened and she was blushing when he pulled away and looked at her in utter adoration. Her breath hitched when he pulled back and his fingers traced her jawline before holding her chin.
"You are too precious." He whispers before placing a kiss to her forehead.
Allura felt her chest warm and she blushed and looked down shyly, pulling the blanket closer against her body. She felt Keith get back under the bed and under the blanket with her and wraps his arms around her and she smiled and leaned back against his chest. She gasped when she felt something poking her.
"Hard again already?" She asks.
"No uh, that's something else." Keith says.
Allura arches an eyebrow, looking confused. Keith smiled and shook his head, realizing that Allura didn't know what morning wood was.
"Don't worry about it. It's got nothing to do with you." Keith says and cuts a piece of pancake for her to try. "How does this taste?" He asks.
Allura opens her mouth and lets Keith feed her the piece of pancake. Her eyes light up when she chews it.
"Oh Keith it tastes wonderful!" She exclaims and looks at him and smiles.
They both dig into the pancakes and end up feeding each other pieces and giggling. They clink their glasses of orange juice and kiss before drinking from them. Allura got really excited when she realized she loved orange juice too!
"We had fruit like this back on Altea." Allura says as she examines the bunch of grapes that Keith had put on the tray. "In ancient times, royal or noble members of the court would be fed these fruits by their servants."
"Wow really?" Keith asks. "We had that here too."
Keith picks a grape off of the bunch and smiles at her.
"Will you allow me to feed you princess?" Keith asks and Allura smiles.
"You may." She says.
She opens her mouth for Keith to place the grape in and she teasingly sucks on his fingers before he pulls back to feed her another one. She offers to feed him some as well and he sucks on her fingers as well, making her giggle because it tickled. He put the last one in his mouth and wiggled his eyebrows at Allura and she leaned into him and bit the other half and they kissed. They pulled apart both of them laughed.
Keith removed the tray from her lap and put it on the small countertop that had the makeshift sink to clean later. He took his clothes off of the metal bar against the wall where he hung them next to Allura's and he pulled his pants on, then put on his t-shirt before tossing Allura her night gown and her panties for her. After putting on her panties she put on her nightgown and got out of bed and stretched as Keith buckled up his belt. She plucked one of the roses from a bouquet on the table and admired it. It was a lovely shade of red. After tapping his boots against the wall to make sure there was nothing that would bite/sting him inside of them Keith put them on and then made his way over to the center of the room and pulled open the ceiling door which unfolded a staircase that led to the attic. Allura gasped and her eyes sparkled in curiosity as she watched Keith unfold the staircase.
"Ooo what's up there?" She asks and starts to come over to him.
"Stay back." Keith says sternly and holds his hand out at her in warning to stay out of the way.
Allura was surprised by his tone and looked up at the entrance to the attic and wondered what was up there that had Keith on alert as he studied the opening. She let out a soft gasp when Keith took a small box with him that was empty in the corner along with a piece of card stock paper and he gently touched the hilt of his knife before he started to climb up the ladder.
"Keith..." Allura muttered softly.
Keith looked at her and saw the worry and fear in her eyes. Her hand that was holding the rose was trembling. He gave her a smile to reassure her that everything was fine.
"It's okay." He whispers to her. "I'm just checking to make sure nothing flew in last night."
"Flew in?" She whispers back.
"I'll explain when I come back down." He whispers. "Just stand by the door, and if anything flies out of here-" He points to the entrance to the attic. "Run outside and shut the door behind you and stay there until I say you can come back in okay?"
She nods and backs up to stand by the door. Keith smiled at her and then looked back up at the dark opening to the attic. There were two windows on either side to let some light in to keep the bats out but he remembered that they still somehow managed to find their way in sometimes. When he was fixing up this place earlier he made sure that it was completely sealed but those seals didn't always last for very long due to the sandstorms. He got halfway up the ladder and found the string that when pulled would turn on the light in the attic. He turned it on and sure enough there was a bat screeching and fluttering around in the attic.
"Keith what's up there?" Allura asked worriedly.
"It's just an animal. It's called a bat. I'll take care of it, don't worry." He assures her.
He waited for it to settle on a wall in a shadowy corner before climbing up all the way into the attic and covering it with the box and sliding the paper underneath it to capture it. He taped it down with some tape he had on one of the pouches on his belt so it wouldn't get out of the box.
Once it was secure, he grabbed what he came up here for in the first place. An old pair of boots that he had grown out of that he was going to give to Allura. She was around the same height as him but her foot size was smaller so he hoped that they would fit her well enough. He brought them down in one hand and held the bat with the other and was greeted with a very curious Allura at the bottom of the ladder.
"Can I see the bat?" She asks.
He nods and puts the boots on the ground then brings the box over to the table and places it on the table. He went and found a pair of gloves that actually covered his whole hand and he put them on then came back and untapped one side of the box and carefully lifted it and reached inside.
Allura heard it chirping and held her breath in anticipation. Keith carefully pulled it out, holding it securely in his hand. She gasped in awe as she saw an Earth animal for the first time as it looked around the shack then back at her. Keith looked at her face and couldn't help but smile and think about how adorable she looked with her jaw hanging as she observed the small creature.
"It's nose is so strange." She says and Keith smiles and chuckles softly. "And it's ears are pointed like mine."
The bat twitched it's ears at Allura and chirped and Allura smiled at twitched hers back at the bat and Keith smiled at how cute his girlfriend was.
She gasped when it stuck it's claw out at her, stretching one of it's wings out in the process.
"Incredible..." She breathes and tries to come closer.
"Don't get too close." He warns. "This little guy doesn't look like he's sick but there's a bunch of diseases he could be carrying that you could contract if it bites you or if you come into contact with it's saliva. Diseases that are life threatening to humans, which means they definitely are to Alteans whose immune system wasn't designed to fight Earth diseases. That's why I'm wearing gloves and I'm going to be the only one to touch this guy okay?"
Allura nods in understanding.
"How do you know how to handle them? Did you come in contact with bats often?" Allura asks.
"My dad taught me." Keith says. "He showed me a bat when I was little, the same way I'm showing you now."
Allura smiled at him then turned her attention back to the bat.
"It's unlike any of the creatures we had on Altea. It reminds me of a scarier looking flying mouse. But I think it's adorable' It's so small..." She says.
"It's a young one." Keith tells her. "Probably just separated from it's mom and is migrating."
"It's fascinating." Allura says. "So what will we do with it?"
"Well we're going to keep this little guy in this box." Keith says and gently places it back inside and then re-tapes it shut. "And keep him outside in a shady spot until nightfall and then we'll let him go."
"Why until night?" Allura asks.
"Bats are nocturnal, meaning that they're active during the night." Keith explains and Allura nods in understanding as he picks up the box and brings it outside.
He poked a few holes in the box with a screw driver to make sure it could breathe and then made his way back inside to Allura.
When he came back inside he folded up the ladder and closed the attic door then took off the gloves and picked up the boots and brought them over to the bed where Allura was sitting.
"Are those for me?" She asks.
"Yeah. These are my old ones." He says.
Allura picks one up and is about to slide her foot in it to try it on but then Keith remembers something important and stops her from putting it on.
"Wait!" He exclaims and grabs her ankle.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Allura asks.
"I almost forgot an important rule about shoes in the desert." He says and takes the boot from her. "Things like to hide in them. Poisonous things."
Allura's eyes widened in fear and she brought her legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them.
"So before you put on your shoes you have to hold them upside down and bang them against a wall." He instructs and demonstrates.
Nothing came out of the boot. But when Keith banged the second one against the wall...
Allura gasped as a strange bug-like creature fell out of it.
"What is that?" She asks.
"A scorpion." Keith says. "They're poisonous."
Allura stared at in fascination until it crawled over towards the bed post by where she was sitting and she shrieked in fear and Keith quickly took out his knife and stabbed it in half before it started to climb on the bed. Allura took deep breaths to steady her breathing.
"Shh...shh it's okay." Keith soothes her and takes her into his arms and sits on the bed. "I killed it, it's all gone and it can't hurt you now." He says and kisses her head. "I'm not going to let anything out here sting or bite you." He says then pulls back to look at her. "You don't have anything to be afraid of." He smiled at her.
"I know Keith. And I won't let any poisonous scorpions sting you either." She says then Keith gets serious.
"Lu...I love that you'll protect me just like I will you." He says and brushes a lock of hair behind her ear. "But if a scorpion is about to sting me or if I get in the way of it stinging you by taking the sting for myself, then let it sting me. It'll hurt like a bitch and be uncomfortable for a bit but I've been stung before and I have stuff that counteracts the poison. At least if it stings me I know I'll be fine. But you're not from this planet. There's no telling how your body could react if you're stung and I have a feeling it won't be good. So if you see a scorpion just cover it with this pot." He says and passes her a pot from the cooking station. "And then come get me and I'll take care of it. Better if it stings me since I know how my body reacts and how to deal with it, then you where there's no telling what could happen or if the medications I use will even work for you. So don't go trying to protect me from poisonous things out in the desert okay?" He asks and strokes her hair. "Let me protect you without you reciprocating for just this one thing okay?" He says and kisses the top of her head.
"Okay Keith." Allura says and hugs him and rests her head against his chest.
"Thank you Lu." He says and kisses her head before getting up to clean up the dead scorpion.
Once he cleans it he comes back to the bed and pecks her lips.
"Now that all of that excitement is over, how about I give you a proper tour of the place?" He asks and offers her his hand.
"I'd love one." Allura says and takes Keith's hand.
He kisses the back of hers then she stands up and puts the boots on. Keith couldn't help the grin that spread on his face when he saw her in his old pair of boots while wearing her pink nightgown.
"How do I look?" She asks and twirls.
"Adorable." Keith says and kisses her.
He leads her to the door and takes her outside to the backyard.
"This is the backyard." He says and gestures to it.
There wasn't much there aside from sand and one lone tree. She noticed a big blue water tank and decided to question Keith on it.
"What's that?" She asks.
"That is our water supply." Keith says and taps it. "It filters water from a well underground so it's drinkable and then it comes out through the pipes inside and in the bathroom."
"Where's the bathroom?" Allura asks.
"The outhouse is over here." Keith says and points to it. "And the shower is right there."
Allura blushed when she noticed that there was only a shower head and nothing else aside from a small shelf for soaps and such.
"It's an..outdoor shower." Keith explains.
"So we'll just be naked out in the open when we shower?" Allura asks and twirls a lock of her hair.
"Yeah but it's fine. We're the only two people out here and it's not like there's nothing either of us haven't seen before." Keith says and smirks at her and looks her over before winking.
She bites her lip and does her own little visual inspection of her lover as well and raises her eyebrows at him, pleased with her findings. Keith laughed and shook his head before taking her hand and leading her into the garage.
"You probably won't have to come in here too often because there's nothing really important in here, save for the generator and other electric stuff." Keith says as he opens the door. "This is the workshop where I build stuff like my bike that's outside."
"You built that?" Allura asks and looks at him in awe.
On the inside Keith was squealing in happiness that Allura thought it was cool that he made his own bike. But he tried to be suave and play it cool on the outside.
"Yeah." He says in a gravelly voice and leans against a shelf. "That bad boy was entirely put together by yours truly." He says and points his thumb at himself and winks.
Allura blushed and played with the hem of her gown. Keith smirked then gasped as one of the brackets holding the shelf on the wall broke and he fell down and everything that was on the shelf came crashing down on top of him.
Allura covered her mouth to try to keep from laughing as she looked at her poor boyfriend covered in various paints with a small trickle of sand falling on top of his hair and she couldn't help but break out in laughter and Keith just frowned and crossed his arms.
"Lu...it's not that funny." He mumbles then pouts.
"Oh darling..." Allura says and comes over and helps Keith stand up. "You look like a rainbow threw up all over you."
"Har de har." Keith says flatly.
"Well at least now I know where to bring you to clean you up." Allura says and tugs on his hand and leads him out to the shower.
As they walk by Allura looks at his bike.
"It does look really nice." She says.
"Thanks. Maybe we'll take a ride together on it sometime?" He suggests.
"Only if you promise me you were more careful putting it together than you were when you put that shelf on the wall..." Allura quips.
Keith scoffs at her and then lunges to grab her but she's too quick and she moves out of the way before he can get her and runs around to the backyard.
"Get back here Lu!" Keith calls after her and chases her. "I just want to give you a hug!"
"No stay back you'll get me all dirty!" Allura yells playfully then screams when Keith rounds the corner and chases her around the backyard.
Eventually he steers her towards the back of the shack and Allura looks around for something she can use to defend herself but then Keith traps her with his arms on either side of her with his hands pressed against the wall of the shack. She turns around and looks at him.
"Nowhere to run now princess." Keith says with a smirk. "I've got you now."
He presses himself closer to her then recoils when water comes out of the shower head and rains on him. He recoiled from her and Allura laughed at him as she watched his bangs cover his face as the water flattened them down and washed the paint from his clothes. He ran a gloved hand through his bangs and looked up at her with that sexy smirk of his and she bit her lip.
"Clever girl." He says.
He pulls her under the shower head with them and she squeals at first from the initial cold of the water but then once she feels his warm body pressed against hers, she welcomes his warmth and cups his cheek as he brings his lips to hers. Kissing him in the shower was something she had never considered trying before but was really glad they were doing now. The added wetness from the water allowed their lips to slide together more easily as they made out. Allura gripped the back of his wet hair and he brought a hand around her waist, resting his arm vertically on her back, clutching at the fabric of her nightgown while his other hand squeezed her ass, causing her to gasp as they broke for air and she clutched the material of his t-shirt. She looked up into his dark eyes and saw him looking back into hers, with nothing but love for her in them.
He took his hand off her butt and then turned off the water with it.
"As romantic as that was, we really shouldn't be wasting the water like that." He says and Allura chuckles.
"I suppose you're right." She agrees. "But if we have to conserve water then we'll have to take all of our showers together."
"Oh definitely." Keith agrees, nodding his head and using a mock serious tone. "We have no other option. It's the only way we'll survive out here together."
Allura laughed and gave him a quick peck on his lips.
"So now that we're all clean...how will we dry off?" Allura asks.
"I'll show you." Keith says and walks over to a ball of string stuck to side of the shack.
He picks it up and then walks backwards towards the tree before tying the string to one of the branches on the tree.
"This is called a clothes line." Keith says. "It's where we hang our clothes to dry after we wash them. Wait here for a second." He tells her then goes back into his garage.
He comes back carrying a small metal tub and a washboard in it.
"And this is how we wash our clothes out here." He says and sets it down under the shower head.
He turns on the water and it fills up the tub and then he turns it off. He took some soap and put it in the water. Then he took off his shirt, which still had some paint on it and he put it in the tub and moved it around to bit to get the water all soapy.
"Once it gets all soapy you take it and rub it against the washboard." He says and demonstrates. "Then you rinse it out and repeat until it's clean."
"That looks like fun! Can I try?" She asks.
"Sure." Keith says. "I've got to wash my pants off too."
He takes them off and Allura tries not to stare at him too much as he hands his pants to her and puts his boots back on, leaving him in just his boots and boxers, holding his belt in his hands. He knew she was checking him out and it amazed him that a princess who could literally have any guy she wanted, and had guys far more attractive than him basically banging down her door to be with her, and yet here she was with him, out in his dingy desert shack, letting him make love to her every day for a month while he's in heat and make a baby with him. She was truly the most incredible person he'd ever met.
She seemed to be having a little trouble with the washboard so he leaned over her and took her hand in his and helped her through the motions. She blushed from having him so close and pressed against her back and he chuckled and kissed her neck while she washed his clothes. She got the hang of it pretty quickly.
He brought out the towel that they had used last night and the washcloth he used to clean them up and suggested that they wash those too since they were out here washing things. He then showed her how he dumped the tub and then filled it with water again to rinse the soap off of the clothes and towels.
He showed her how to use the clothes pins and she offered to hang them up to dry once they were all clean. They wouldn't have to hang up her nightgown since it was dried from the hot desert air. As she was washing the clothes Keith noticed that she was getting a bit hot. As she brought over one of their towels to the clothes line Keith watched one of her gorgeous light chocolate arms reach up and wipe the sweat from her brow. His breath hitched and he found himself tracing her figure with his eyes. A nice breeze blew by and he watched as it flattened her dress against her figure, outlining all of her gorgeous curves perfectly for him. When she came back over to the tub she bent over to pick up the washcloth and Keith's eyes widened when he saw her lace panties and he licked his lips and felt his cock start to get hard.
He watched her walk back towards the clothes line and growled and started to palm himself through his boxers. He felt the front of his boxers get wet and then he realized that that was his slick and knew he needed her again. With lust clouding his brain he came up behind her and when she bent over again, exposing her womanhood to his lustful gaze he grabbed her hips and thrust his erection against her cunt.
Allura gasped and grabbed the sides of the tub to steady herself as she felt Keith rub his hardening member through his thin boxers against her thin lace panties, not much of a barrier between them. Keith growled and rubbed his penis up and down her vagina and Allura moaned. She was still feeling a bit sore from last night. Was Keith really up for going at it again after how hard he went when he took her virginity last night? She stood up so her back was against his chest and she pressed herself against his stiff manhood more, feeling herself start to feel a bit aroused from her paladin's promiscuous actions.
"Horny for me again so soon darling?" She asks as Keith gently rocks his hips against her while she leans back against him.
"At least once a quintant remember..." Keith reminds her.
She bites her lip as Keith grips her thighs and pushes them apart, making her open her legs a bit wider before reaching between them and grabbing her cunt and rubbing his fingers over her clothed core. She took a deep breath and let out a shaky moan then collapsed against him. The soreness in her womanhood slowly melted away and she felt her lust start to take over. She whined when his other hand came up and groped her breast.
"I know, and I really want to. But darling we need to hang up your clothes-ah!" She gasps as one of Keith's fingers enter her after moving the crotch of her panties to the side. "You said that the water will get dirty and we'd have to wash them again if we leave them out for too long."
"Then we can wash them again." He breathes in her ear and she whines as he moves his finger inside her. "It's not like there's much else for you to do here aside from getting fucked."
"Oh..." She moaned and bit her lip as Keith added another finger and stretched her open. He hummed in approval.
"Feels like I won't have to do too much to prepare you this time." He says. "You're still perfectly stretched from my dick last night and you're so wet." He purrs and grinds into her ass and Allura tilts her head back and sighs in pleasure.
"Oh Keith...more...please." She moans and Keith presses his thumb against her clit and rubs it gently and she cries out in pleasure before Keith withdrew his hand from her pussy completely and let go of her.
She whined softly, confused as to why he withdrew from her. She turned and saw him backing up towards the door, taking her hand and pulling her with him. He had that look of pure lust in his eyes again and since he was in nothing but his boxers she could clearly see how hard he was. He needed her immediately.
They came inside, took off their boots, and Allura sat down on the edge of the bed and Keith leaned over her and she crawled backwards to let him on the bed, sitting up, resting her weight on the bed with her hands as he crawled over her. He lifted her night gown up her torso and she raised her arms up to let him take it off. He tossed it to the side and then pulled his erection out of his boxers and stroked himself a few times with one hand and pulled Allura's panties down with the other. He looked at her, silently asking for a confirmation that she wanted this and she nodded and spread her legs open, allowing him access to her. "Do it." She tells him and he smiles and she let out a soft gasp as he slides into her with ease.
He held her hip to keep her steady and held himself up with his other arm as he thrusted into her at a nice gentle rhythm. Keith noticed she had a thoughtful look on her face as he made love to her.
"What is it?" He asks concerned. "Does it hurt? Do you want me to stop?"
"No it's fine it's just...I'm a little surprised at how...gentle you're being this time." She smiles at him. "Why? I thought you would be a little rougher like you were last night-ah." She moaned softly as he gave her a deep thrust and buried himself to the hilt inside her.
"I'm not going to raw you every day Lu." He says before pulling out a bit and continuing his original steady pace. "Unless you want me to." He adds and winks at her, making her blush and bite her lip and he chuckles softly. "The reason galra have this heat is mainly to reproduce so I can't just go wildly pounding into you once or twice a quintant. That would take a toll on your body and then you wouldn't be in good condition to carry a child." He explains. "So while there will be times when I'll just tear your clothes off and fuck you hard and rough..." He groans and Allura moans as he stuffs himself all the way inside her and pushes her back down on the bed, his hands resting on either side of her head.
She looked up at him and he smiled at her, looking at her like she was the most beautiful thing in the world to him.
"There's also going to be times where I'll take it slow...and take care of you...give you a rest before I get all rough with you again. Because I would never ever want to hurt you. No matter what primal urges biology has given me because I want you to enjoy this too. This whole phoeb I am going to be super horny for you pretty much 24/7 and we are going to fuck a lot." He says and they both laugh before moaning as Keith thrusts again. "But I don't want it to be a chore for you. I want to make you feel just as amazing as I feel. Allura you are so beautiful..." He says and caresses her face. "So strong, so brave, so kind and so many things that have made me fall in love with you and pick you to be my mate so you could pass those incredible traits on to our kid."
"Oh Keith..." Allura sighed and smiled at him. "I love you. I love you so much."
"I love you too Allura. You're the love of my life." He says, tearing up as he smiles at her and starts to pick up the pace. "You're amazing, talented, strong, beautiful, kind, compassionate." He lists off traits as he thrusts into her.
Allura bit her lip and felt her chest warm as he praised her as he made love to her. He picked up her legs from around his waist and put them up on his shoulders so he could thrust deeper into her and she moaned and met his thrusts with her own and Keith smirked and reached down to rub her clit to push her over the edge and she choked out a moan, arched her back and came. Keith groaned and gave her a few short quick thrusts before he came inside of her.
He pulled out and then laid down next to her and he lazily made out with her as they both caught their breath as they came down from their highs.
"Please tell me this isn't a dream and that you're really here with me, and really mine." He breathes against her lips.
"If this is a dream, then it's one I never want to wake up from." Allura tells Keith.
She leans over him and moans into his mouth as she kisses him passionately, running her hands through his sweaty locks and he runs his hands down her chocolate skin and kisses her back.
"I love being out here with you Keith." Allura says when they part. "I get to learn more about your past." She kisses him deeply then releases his lips to continue. "And about Earth." They kiss again. "Not to mention how incredible the sex is..." She breathes against his lips and he smirks. "This is real Keith. I'm here. I'm yours. All yours. For this phoeb and always." She promises.
Keith kisses her again and they spend the rest of their afternoon in each other's arms cuddling and lazily kissing.
They ended up having to wash his clothes again because they took a nap and when they came outside the water had mostly evaporated due to the heat and his clothes had sand in them and some bugs. But it wasn't too bad because they had to wash the sheets on the bed anyway since they didn't use a towel this time...
Later that night Allura stood by the door as Keith opened the box to let their little winged friend go. Allura gasped as the bat flew away into the sky and she came over to stand beside Keith and wrapped her arms around one of his and smiled as the bat flew off into the night.
"Goodbye little one." She says to it and waves. "Good luck with your migration."
Keith smiled and thought back to how he had done this with his dad when he was little. He had the same look of awe on his face that Allura had on hers now. He looked at her as she rested her head on his shoulder and he placed a gentle kiss against her lips. Then they heard an owl hooting and she gasped and looked up at the tree. The light from the full moon shone on the branch where it was perched so Allura could see it.
"Is that an owl?" She asks.
"Yes it is." Keith answers.
Allura smiles at it as it flies off of the branch and glides across the sand dunes in search of prey. She squeezed Keith's hand and thought about how much she was enjoying her time here with Keith even though it had only been one quintant.
