"Oh, Naru...this is too much," Mai said as Noll clasped a silver chain around her neck. He stood back, glancing at the light blue stone resting in Mai's cleavage.
"Not at all," Noll replied.
Mai touched the tear shaped stone as she flushed, "But...This had to be really expensive. It's real silver…and this stone is too pretty to be cheap…"
It truly hadn't been expensive, and the purpose of the necklace was not only to entice Mai, but to mute her abilities. He had given her an ancient charm known as an Apache tear. They were typically made of obsidian, but chalcedony was popular as well, and strung on either silver or iron.
Noll waved his hand, "No. Really. It wasn't much. Besides, what kind of partner would I be if I didn't spoil you on occasion?"
Mai's cheeks darkened.
Taking further advantage of Mai's bashfulness, Noll spoke, "It looks nice on you." He then teased, "It would look even better if it were the only thing on you."
Mai was practically swooning at Noll's words.
"Naru…!" Mai held her face with her hands.
Her reactions were always amusing.
Placing his hands on Mai's wait, Noll pushed it further. He kept eye contact with Mai as he slipped his hands underneath her blouse.
She inhaled sharply and tossed her arms around Noll's neck. Maintaining her gaze, Mai chewed on her bottom lip. As she moved to her toes Noll's fingertips inched upwards along her sides.
Mai tilted her head to the right and brushed her lips against Noll's jaw.
"Naru…" Mai was breathless.
He was gripping the wings of her bra. With a yank, Noll forced Mai's body closer to his own.
"I believe this can go," Noll's tone was like silk, further alluring Mai, "along with the rest of your attire."
