Nesta

Without saying anything, I opened the jar of salve and rubbed some onto my hands. It was then I noticed his attire, or lack of it rather. He noticed my realisation. "Like what you see?" and I replied, to my own great surprise, by sitting behind him on his bed and gently started rubbing the healing salve into his damaged wings.

chapter 4

Cassian

Nesta surprised me with her forwardness, not that I was complaining. She also had beautiful hands, delicate yet purposeful.

I needed her, I could feel some connection between us, perhaps a mating bond although perhaps not. Maybe we were just meant to be.

I was laid in bed with only my sheets to cover me yet she was so calm, it intrigued me. As did her fiestyness and ability to think of witty replies. She was like me and also not, she was just perfect, I thought all this as she started to work at the more sensitive areas of my wings.

Nesta

His wings were so soft, yet strong. They felt like leather but were so light and delicate, a marvel.

My hands worked into the obviously more sensitive membrane and I pushed harder, making him gasp. I said "Are you alright there Cassian, is a woman's touch unfamiliar to you?" knowing it wasn't, knowing he even made love with Mor one of his best friends. As if reading my thoughts he replied

"You know I could have pretty much any one I wanted." and as if in after thought added "your jealous aren't you sweetheart?". The thing is I wasn't sure i wasn't jealous. The thought scared me and he again saw this in my eyes and smiled knowingly.

"I can take you now if you want sweetheart, I'm afraid I'm confined to only the bed though so no wall action tonight". The way he said it, it didn't even make me mad. I realised I actually wanted him to bed me right then and there.

I couldn't let that happen.

Shaking, I screwed the lid on the salve and tried to stand off the bed. In my panic my legs gave out and I found myself laying atop of his perfectly defined chest.

he seemed to see the confliction in my eyes and gave me a moment to gather my thoughts before murmuring "Nesta archeron you are eager aren't you?". There was something in his voice that comforted me and so I stopped panicking and let instinct take control. He saw my decision and flipped us so he was on top of me.

Hastily unbuttoned my blouse before luring him in, and just before, I quickly flipped us over again so I was in control.

His warm body against mine felt right and his scent was like earth and lilies. A rather ladylike smell for such a masculine body.

I was in no rush to move from him, and so we fell asleep together intwined in sheets, until Rhysand came through the door.

Rhysand

I knocked on Cassian's door and got no reply so I strode into the room. What I saw both surprised me and didn't so I acted cool, adding part of my High Lord mask to my character.

"I see you two have finally admitted your undying love for each other" I drawled.

Nesta, still in shock, tried to discreetly dress herself under the covers and said "I simply applied the healing lotion and fell asleep, what are you doing here anyway?" trying to change the subject. I waited for Cas to explain and to Nesta's annoyance he said "Nesta wanted us to get to know each other better, I being the charming illyrian warrior I am obliged". Nesta turned red and I could tell this was my cue to leave, so I told Cas to be down in 30 minutes to talk tactics

and left.

it was so compelling to reach out to my mate and show her what I saw but I wanted to see her reaction so decided on waiting another 5 days..
